Chapter 326 Shi Shen, You Are So Warm
After washing, Shi Shen took it out to dry, and then returned to the cave from outside.
Seeing her sitting on the stool, he squatted beside her and raised his hand to touch her forehead, "Did it fall off?"
"It fell off when I was washing my face just now. Is there a scar? I couldn't feel it when I touched it." She blinked.
"No, there is no scar at all."
Xi Lu was very happy to hear that, "Is the grass juice you applied to me so effective? It healed quickly and there is no scar left."
"It has nothing to do with grass juice. That can only stop bleeding. It was a pill given by Zhuzi. It only gave it to me once."
The Pearl of All Worlds that he mentioned opened its eyes and went out for a stroll.
"Oh." Hearing him say that, she felt that his beads were better to her than to him.
Shi Shen stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon, then covered it with a lid, picked her up and walked out, picking up a basket and putting two fruits in it for her.
"It's not cooked yet. Let me take you to the back of the cave to see if there is anything you can eat."
"I want to go on my own."
"You're on your period now." If there hadn't been enough stinky fruits and stinky weeds thrown around, he wouldn't have taken her out.
"I can't walk during my period? I used to run exercises during my period." You can only ask me to skip running once, but you have to run for the next few days.
"I'll let you hold me after walking for a while."
Shi Shen frowned and put her down, "Why do you have to run during your menstrual period? Females are the weakest at this time."
"It's called strengthening the body." Xi Lu walked for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so smelly?"
"The males and wild beasts have a very keen sense of smell. You smell very good right now, and the males can smell it from a long distance. I threw the stinky fruit and stinky grass to interfere with their sense of smell."
"What kind of fragrance are you talking about?"
"I don't know, it just smells good."
Xi Lu was a little speechless, looking at the ground not far behind the cave, then pointed at a piece of something that looked like plantain and asked, "Can this be eaten?"
"Yes, I have seen birds and beasts pecking at them."
Xi Lu squatted down and looked at the thing. It looked like plantain. "This really looks like plantain. Take some home and dry it. Boil it in water and drink it in a few days."
Plantain is sweet and cold in nature. It has the effects of diuresis, clearing heat, improving eyesight and removing phlegm.
Upon hearing this, Shi Shen put his arm around her waist and brought her behind him. He squatted down and dug it out with a wooden stick, shook off the dirt and put it into the basket.
"This looks like a carrot leaf." Xi Lu said as he pulled it, but it didn't move.
Shi Shen turned around and saw that she had found a new target and pulled out two.
It's a bit weird that herbs and vegetables grow together.
But we are in the world of beasts, so it seems normal to be a little outrageous.
"What a big one, bigger than my head. Just pull out two and go back."
"Ah."
After a casual stroll, Xi Lu found that most of the vegetables he was familiar with were edible. He was happy and went back with Shi Shen happily.
The soup cooked in the cave should be ready.
After two days in the animal world, Xilu's menstrual period was over.
She went to see the thing Shi Shen used to make menstrual strips. It felt like cotton, and the silk was also very fine white. Shi Shen took Xi Lu to see the Mianmian Beast.
It didn't look like any animal she knew. It was round and covered with soft fur.
In the past few days, Xi Lu has had some free time and has been learning the language of the animal world from Shi Shen. Now he can simply speak a few words to Shi Shen in the animal world language.
As time went by, many things were added to the cave, and it became very different from its original bare appearance.
Several deep caves were dug nearby, and Shi Shen piled a lot of dead branches into them as firewood.
Every day, Xilu enthusiastically dragged Shi Shen out to find something they could eat besides meat. Then they found plants like corn and sweet potatoes, as well as a fruit called white-grain fruit that tasted like rice.
When the white fruit is peeled open, it becomes large rice-shaped grains.
After finding these things, Xi Lu’s previous geographical knowledge was almost overturned. Can these things grow at the same latitude and season?
After finding the white-grain fruit, Shi Shen no longer had to go ten days away to look for plants that could replace rice. The white-grain fruit could serve as a substitute.
Shi Shen saw that she was devoted to storing food. When she closed her eyes, she was sleeping, and when she opened her eyes, she went out to look for things. He had no choice but to keep digging caves to serve as her granary.
She paid very little attention to him these days, but seeing how happy she was, Shi Shen cooperated with her.
Another morning when Shi Shen woke him up, Xi Lu was stunned for a while before leaning into his arms out of habit, "Shi Shen, where are we going to find food today?"
"Go a little further, there are Cuckoo Beasts over there. Many female beastmen like to eat their eggs. You might like them too. Next to the Cuckoo Beasts are the Gaga Beasts. Their eggs can also be eaten."
"Gugu beast, Gaga beast?" In the past few days, Xi Lu also learned some of the names given to wild beasts in the animal world. They are simple and crude, named according to their calls.
A bleat beast is a sheep, a moo beast is a cow, and so on.
These two pronunciations should be chicken and duck.
"You'll know it when you see it."
Xi Lu climbed onto Shi Shen's back skillfully, and he led them to open a new map.
Suddenly, a majestic white tiger appeared in the forest. The cuckoo beasts that were jumping around in the forest looking for food flapped their wings and flew onto the branches, then disappeared into the forest in a few more jumps.
The white tiger raised its paw, and a cuckoo beast's wings were pressed down under its paw.
After Xilu came down, Shi Shen knocked the Gugu beast unconscious with his claws and turned into a human form.
Xi Lu looked at the unconscious Cuckoo Beast. Well, it was indeed a chicken, but its size was many times larger.
A bit of white appeared in the weeds.
Xi Lu squatted down and compared with her hands. The eggs were bigger than her palm. After eating one, she didn't need to eat any other food.
Shi Shen tied up the unconscious Cuckoo Beast with vines, thinking of taking it home to make soup, as she loved soup very much.
"Pick some fruit yourself, and I'll weave a big basket and take the eggs back."
“I want to edit it too.”
"Okay." Shi Shen pulled out a few thinner vines for her, pulled out some thicker ones for himself, and sat with her under the shade of the tree to weave baskets.
After the big basket was woven, Shi Shen picked up half of the basket's eggs. Then he caught a Cuckoo Beast that popped out and took her to find a Gaga Beast. After catching two, he also picked up half of the basket's eggs.
On the way back, Xi Lu was carrying a small basket of fruits. Seeing Shi Shen next to him carrying an oversized basket with a Gugu beast and a Gaga beast hanging next to the basket, he thought to himself that humans and orcs really cannot be compared.
Seeing that she was looking at him, Shi Shen picked her up with one hand and said, "You must be tired after walking for so long."
"Isn't it heavy for you to carry?" Xi Lu put her arms around his neck as usual.
"It's not heavy, it's easy to carry, and it doesn't feel heavy even if I carry another basket."
"Well, you beastmen are really strong."
"Ah."
Xi Lu thought that she was living a different kind of pastoral life.
At night, after she fell asleep, Shi Shen went hunting, processed the prey and put it back to the kitchen, then continued to set traps around the cave according to Wanjiezhu's instructions.
After finishing, he went back to sleep.
Looking at the person who wrapped herself in animal skin, Shi Shen quietly moved towards her.
On the last two nights of the dry season, the moon, which had been covered by dark clouds for several days, finally came out. Under the light of the two moons, vision was clear at night.
"Shi Shen, I want to go out and see the moon." Xi Lu said excitedly as Yue Mang slipped into the cave through the gap in the straw curtain.
"Okay." Shi Shen covered her with a fur blanket and held her while sitting beside the cave.
Xi Lu nestled in his arms, wrapped in a fur blanket, and didn't feel cold.
She raised her hand and poked his face, "Shi Shen, you are so warm."
Shi Shen held her fingers and met her eyes under the hazy moonlight. "It will be warmer to hug each other in the rainy and cold seasons. So, there are many benefits to letting me be your beast companion."
