Chapter 36: Different Looks
The lively scene on the beach could be seen from afar, and Yuchuan didn't know why he followed here in a daze.
This was clearly not the first time that he had hidden in a place out of sight of the crowd and watched their activities. The excitement between the orcs and the females had nothing to do with him, but this time was different. He felt particularly empty in his heart.
He also wants to participate, and he also wants to stand in the sun like everyone else.
He stretched out his hand slightly, and the moment it touched the sunlight, Yuchuan felt as if he was burned by the light and quickly withdrew his hand.
When he saw Little Spider running towards Lu Xiaoxiao with the fish in his hand, he couldn't help but vent his anger on that useless guy Nanshan. How could he resist and not beat him up when the guy was trying to please him!
I'm so angry, so angry, is he not capable of this?
He grabbed the tree trunk in front of him that was covering his body, and broke it off with a snap. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran into the bushes to hide his figure.
Fortunately, no one noticed him.
Yuchuan felt like he was sick and had been having all kinds of weird thoughts for the whole day or two.
"Oh! There's salt! There's salt!" The orcs on the beach cheered happily. They ran and jumped wildly on the beach. Some of them even rolled around on the beach after returning to their beast form. Everyone's face was filled with excited smiles.
That’s great! As long as we have salt, everyone will have a better life in the future!
Unlike the last time they boiled seawater, the container used today was very large and it took a long time to boil the seawater. After boiling a few pots, it was already dark. They had already prepared a place to spend the night at the beach.
The males worked all night, while Lu Xiaoxiao was arranged to rest in the cave.
The males thoughtfully prepared comfortable animal skins and dry grass for her, and the one standing guard outside the door was the reliable Nanshan.
The other males have gotten used to it. Nanshan has been taking good care of her all day today. It is probably this female.
It's not like everyone hasn't thought about whether they were overthinking, but the rumor that Nanshan was the "destined person" in the tribe was so loud, and coupled with his usual actions, it really made people have to identify Lu Xiaoxiao as one of them.
A foreigner with a good brain, bringing new life to the tribe.
All the males are looking forward to the emergence of a new tribe.
The orcs have excellent night vision, and even the pitch-black night does not prevent them from working. Pots of sea water are boiling, and all the gratitude of everyone is condensed into precious salt, which is gathered bit by bit into a huge amount.
At the seaside at night, bonfires were burning everywhere, and the orcs who were fishing did not stop. A long and narrow figure wandered in the water. After a swish, its tail wrapped around several fish and turtles and crawled out of the sea, throwing the fish and turtles onto the beach.
"Wow, awesome! This kind of thorny beast can only be found in deeper waters." The idle orcs on the shore helped the snake beast pick up the fish and turtles, and sent them to the west with a punch. Then they cut them open, rinsed them in water, and hung them on a tree.
"Eat this yourself." The turtle retracted into its shell as it came ashore. The male shook it and threw it back casually.
Females generally don't like to eat this, and they don't like it very much either.
"Otherwise?" The snake beastman narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and his golden pupils were a little bit sinister and dangerous.
"Hey, hey, hey, eat it, you eat it." The orcs rolled their eyes. They were not greedy for this.
"But seriously, is this really Nanshan's destined partner?"
"Who should I ask if you ask me? I only care about whether I can have enough food to eat and be Yueyue's partner in the future. I will be satisfied if Yueyue gives birth to a cub for me."
"You think so well, Yueyue will give birth to you, Yue."
"This female is really different. How come we didn't know that the dried thorn beasts can be preserved for so long?" The beastmen sat on the beach and chatted casually while waiting for the new pot of salt water to boil dry.
"Then you don't know that boiled sea water is salt. Maybe his brain is just good."
"Harmful."
One pot, two pots, after a whole night passed, Lu Xiaoxiao woke up and the delicious meat was already prepared.
"Eat it." Nanshan wrapped the meat in leaves. "When the sun reaches the other side, we can go back."
"Ah?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Why don't you make some more?"
Although it is not difficult or far to get to the beach, there is no need to just go there and leave.
Seeing the excitement flashing across Nanshan's face, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned: "You didn't cook the salt all night, did you?"
"Well... it's very important. The faster we do it, the better it will be for the tribe." Nanshan nodded to confirm her guess, "We also went to find a lot of pots to work with, so we have already obtained more salt than the original Goat Tribe had offered in exchange!
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at it and her eyes twitched slightly.
Seeing a majestic tiger with bamboo tubes tied with vines and leaves hanging all over its body, he held his head high and prepared to deliver the important supplies back to the tribe carefully. There was another person with him, who was considered a bodyguard.
This sea is still the territory of the Black Feather Tribe. This road is very safe. They are just taking precautions.
After all, salt is too precious.
There are dozens of bamboo tubes next to the big tiger, and there is no doubt that they are full of salt.
Oh my god, these orcs are dead!
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that they were just working overtime at most. After all, when hunting normally, people would stop and rest after hunting enough prey, or even take a day or two longer. Unexpectedly,... they actually love to work.
But if she has to go back now, what should she do with the dried meat she brought with her?
They make her look stupid!
"By the way, the meat you dried." Nanshan just thought of this question, he said, "The fish is not completely dry yet, I will take it back for you in a couple of days."
"You're not going back? Then I can stay for two more days." Lu Xiaoxiao thought everyone was going to leave together. Since there were still people stationed here, she could also stay here.
As if he hadn't expected the female to be willing to stay here, Nanshan thought for a moment and nodded, "Although we have already obtained a lot of salt, we should try to store as much as possible. It will be bad if the weather is bad later."
“Is the weather often bad?”
"Well, there will often be no sun before the rainy season." Nanshan said seriously, "Although it's still a long time, we still need to prepare things to exchange for animal skins and food with other tribes. Now that we have salt, we have to ask the priests to sort out the quantity as soon as possible."
"So that's how it is." Lu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Her food reserves have not yet been formed. If she was directly informed that the rainy season was about to arrive, she would really be emo.
"You want to go to the beach? I'll take you there." Nanshan took the initiative to invite her, "There are thorns next to the beach, you can't step on them, come with me."
"what?"
"There will be some if you go this way, otherwise you will have to go around in a big circle." Nanshan turned into a big bad wolf and asked her to sit on it. "Perhaps you would like to play around nearby? The trees around here are a little different from those near the tribe. The females like to look at them."
Lu Xiaoxiao wondered curiously, why did she like looking at trees... ?
Is it because they look different?
