Chapter 35 The Scheming Fox
What is a draftsman?

Chongzhen wasn't guilty at all, and immediately turned around to ask about the words she didn't understand.

"Forget about cartographers, just look at this, this is how a map is drawn."

Ling Chengen simply laid the animal hide on Wu Zhuo's back and casually sketched a few lines, quickly redrawing the section of the Yehelan River they had just seen.

She also accurately marked the directions on the map, and the course of each section of the river was almost exactly the same as on the ground.

Chongzhen watched as her slender fingertips were stained with black powder, and his gaze involuntarily fell on her profile.

Before she could look up and scold him, she quickly looked down at the markings drawn on the animal skin.

Although she didn't quite understand it at first, she drew an arrow in the upper right corner of the map and marked an "N" symbol to indicate what it meant.

But this time, without her detailed explanation, he could roughly guess which symbols represented rivers, which represented plains, and which represented mountains.

"you……"

When Chongzhen saw her stop writing, he couldn't help but open his mouth, about to say something, but when he met her disdainful eyes, he was instantly speechless.

"Study hard! You can't beat me at hunting, but you should at least do small things like drawing and taking notes well, right?"

"Otherwise, your dream of merging the Yaoluo tribe into the Stone Forest will truly be a long way off."

Chongzhen: "..."

He lowered his head, took the charcoal stick and the animal hide map, and said sullenly, "I know."

Holding the animal hide map in his hand, Chongzhen couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Whenever he showed even the slightest interest in Ling Chengen, she would immediately strike back with a heavy blow, dispelling any fleeting thoughts he might have.

So, as partners?
Ha ha!

Ling Chengen, this clueless and stubborn woman.

Being destined to be single is more suitable for her!
Ling Chengen had no time to pay attention to his rich inner emotions. She shoved the charcoal pencil into Chongzhen's hand, took the bamboo basket off Wuzhuo's neck, and used the long-handled bone blade that Lingxiao had prepared for her to dig in a piece of soft soil.

Following the leaves, she quickly dug out some more potatoes.

Ling Chengen squatted down to examine the potatoes, frowning as he said, "It's only been a day or two, and these potatoes have already started to sprout."

"These potatoes are no longer edible; they can only be used as seeds."

Wu Zhuo was about to shovel the potatoes into the basket when he heard the sound and said with a disappointed look, "Huh? Why can't we eat these? They're not spoiled at all."

Ling Chengen looked up at Wu Zhuo as he was about to put the sprouted raw potato into his mouth, then snatched it away in a second, coldly rebuking him, "Don't you remember what I told you before?"

Wu Zhu blinked, a little confused.

"Raw potatoes should not be eaten, and sprouted potatoes should be eaten even less."

Ling Chengen reiterated, tossing the potato into the bamboo basket, and said, word by word, "You must remember this clearly. Sprouted potatoes are poisonous. The witch doctor hasn't recovered yet. If you get poisoned because of your greed, you'll just have to wait to die."

Wu Zhuo looked down at the fist-sized potato sprouting green shoots and said incredulously, "Sister En, it can't be that bad, can it? I've eaten rotten meat before, this is just a little sprouted potato..."

Ling Chengen raised his hand and punched him directly: "I think you're asking for a beating. You won't listen to nice things, but beating you up will make you feel better, right?"

Wu Zhuo tensed up instantly and shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, no, I'll listen to you."

"I will never eat raw potatoes again."

"I won't touch even sprouted potatoes." Ling Chengen nodded in satisfaction after hearing his assurance.

When Wu Zhuo took flight to survey the area of ​​potatoes on the slope, Chong Zhen asked in a low voice, "Were you lying to Wu Zhuo just now, or...?"

“I’m telling the truth,” Ling Chengen sighed. “Didn’t you notice? The potatoes I gave you to peel for cooking before hadn’t sprouted at all.”

Chongzhen thought back for a moment: "Indeed, there wasn't. I thought these little sprouts wouldn't affect the edibility of the food."

Ling Chengen felt exhausted, but he still patiently explained, "If you look at Wu Zhuo, you'll understand why I don't dare to let other people in the tribe try the potatoes."

"Potatoes are sprouting right now, and I'm worried they might dig up sprouted potatoes and eat them when I'm not looking."

"If everyone gets poisoned, the witch doctor will probably want to kill me."

"If you can really grow these potatoes, you'll probably have to teach the other orcs in the tribe about sprouted potatoes."

Chongzhen also realized that this problem was actually quite serious.

Ling Chengen nodded: "I naturally have my own considerations. When we need manpower to plant them together, I will explain everything from beginning to end."

Chongzhen carefully put the map away and placed it in the bamboo tube at his waist. He stood there and glanced at the sun: "It's getting late. Take us to the place where you were looking for herbs. Show me how to identify them, and then you can go ahead."

"I'm taking Wuzhuo to dig for medicinal herbs, and we'll be back before dark."

The place where they dug for medicinal herbs was not far from the Stone Forest tribe, in the nearby forest. There were not many wild animals in the area, and no trace of any bad beasts.

Before leaving, Ling Chengen glanced at Chongzhen's limp leg with concern: "You're injured right now. If you encounter danger, let Wu Zhuo carry you away. Don't try to use your not-fully-recovered abilities to buy time or anything like that."

"We can forget about the herbs; we can dig up more of this stuff."

"Are you worried about me?" Chongzhen sat on a fallen giant tree, elbows on her knees, looking at Ling Chengen with amusement. "I never would have guessed that our young clan leader Ling could be so considerate."

Do you think you'd die if you didn't make fun of her?
Ling Chengen rolled his eyes and said in a nonchalant tone, "Your mouth will get you into big trouble sooner or later."

Chongzhen rested her chin on one hand, her delicate jawline slightly raised, making her profile appear smooth and superior.

Then there are his slightly upturned eyes, which contain an undisguised mockery, and a kind of cruelty that sees through everything and manipulates people at will.

Ling Chengen simply stared at him quietly, and on that alluring, fair face, she saw the corners of his mouth curving into a smug smile, exuding arrogance and haughtiness.

No matter how you look at it, this person has a really smug face.

After a moment of eye contact, Chongzhen suddenly chuckled and teased, "Perhaps, but even if I make a mess of things, won't you, my wife, be there to take responsibility for me?"

"roll--"

Ling Chengen, his face expressionless, decisively turned around, transformed into his beast form, and left.

That greedy fox!

Wu Zhuo squatted in the grass not far away, holding a small wooden hoe in his hand, digging at the bitter herbs on the ground with a resentful expression, muttering under his breath, "How dare they flirt in front of an immature beast cub! That shameless vixen!"

"She's seducing my sister En all the time!"

"Luckily, my sister was as firm as a rock and had already decided on Bai Qingyu. No one else could have changed her mind!"

If the chieftain hadn't personally accepted this fox as his eldest sister's mate, he would have grabbed a pitchfork from his house and driven this licentious male fox spirit out of the tribe overnight!
Enen's career fan leader, Tiger Crane CP toxic solo stan, Eagle Cub: You stinky fox, how dare you break up my CP! I'll kick you out of this melon patch sooner or later!

Today is the last day of the PK1 test after the package was released.

Thank you all for your support and reading!
If I lose again this round, I'll wait until I respawn and fight again.
