The original plan was to take some large taro, remove the outer skin of the taro, and then throw it into the pigpen to feed.

But then Anya came up with her own idea. She planned to feed the collected taro leaves and stems directly to the pigs.

In Anya's mind, since the big wild boar can eat raw taro, the small wild boar should also be able to eat taro leaves and stems.

And in this way, the overall work efficiency can be greatly improved.

Everyone collected the taro in the river on the top of the mountain, and then washed the taro directly in the river.

At the same time, all the taro leaves and rhizomes are thrown into the river, letting them flow down with the waterfall.

The remaining work is to insert a few branches into the waterway behind the pool below the waterfall to act as an interception net for taro leaves and rhizomes.

Before the group of people go down the mountain, just pick it up and throw it into the fence of the two little wild boars.

As for Xiang Wanying who stayed in the shelter on the mountainside, her task today was to watch over the fire while building a wild boar fence with bamboo next to the taro planting area.

This will facilitate wild boar breeding work after tomorrow.

After all, it is a waste of labor and time to always assign one person to go up the mountain to feed the pigs.

After yesterday's night, the flames around the dozen or so dead tree roots and bamboo roots in the entire wasteland had long been extinguished.

While waiting for dinner to start in the morning, Xiang Wanying randomly checked a place.

As for the bamboo roots, they burned very completely, with only a tiny bit of residue left, which means they were completely burned.

As for the lower roots, we can only go back and dig up as much as we can.

But the dead tree did not burn into ash or carbonize completely as she had imagined.

After removing the completely carbonized protective layer on the outside, Xiang Wanying discovered that the wood inside was still there.

Her current idea was to continue using the remaining charcoal and wood to burn one by one.

As for the idea of ​​chopping it down directly, Xiang Wanying gave up on it immediately.

Because it is not easy to cut down a tree from the base of the trunk.

Chapter 397 I'm Afraid That the Goat Will Kill You...

When the four people on the mountainside started to get busy, Qin Ruoyan and Gu Qingrou continued on their way, while Qin Ruoshuang increased the fire and went to the rabbit grassland alone to look for rabbits.

Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying, who shared the last piece of pork jerky, also began to make the final improvements to the sheep trap.

But when I woke up by the fire in the morning.

Zhang Liu, whose thighs were extremely numb, looked speechlessly at Xiang Lingying, who was still snoring away, using his lower abdomen as a "warm pillow".

Last night, he originally thought that the other party, who had already leaned his head forward, would imitate the behavior of Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang or Xiang Wanying.

With your hands, or even... your mouth.

And when there is no one around and the temperature is just right, you may be faced with real...service from others.

As a result, after Xiang Lingying grabbed it, he did stretch his head forward.

But she didn't do anything that Zhang Liu expected.

Instead, he leaned his head against her and rubbed her cheeks continuously.

After doing this, her eyes were filled with purity and confusion, and she did not make any other movements.

Rather than saying that Xiang Lingying was teasing Zhang Liu, it would be better to say that she seemed like a little fool who had only a vague understanding of matters between men and women but was trying hard to show it, thus appearing a little clumsy.

This immediately caused a boy who had been gradually becoming evil in his mind and even wanted to indulge himself to silently give up all thoughts, and then he enjoyed this tormenting happiness...

However, Zhang Liu was also certain that Xiang Lingying did not do it on purpose last night.

Because today, from breakfast to when he started to get busy, the other party didn't say a word.

He just kept his head down and blushed the whole time, like a puppet.

She does whatever she says.

Five or six sharpened half-meter long wooden sticks were inserted at the bottom of the trap yesterday.

Before inserting it, Zhang Liu also tested it with his fingers, and the overall feeling was still quite sharp.

At least there's no problem with piercing someone's skin.

What he hoped most at the moment was to have good luck and hit the sheep's heart directly like Su Yan's arrow did before.

Then there won't be any problems.

At the moment, Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying are in the process of rubbing the rattan bark slightly so that it can become soft wood fibers.

Their next task is to weave these wood fibers horizontally and vertically into a highly flexible hunting net.

Then lay it on a trap that is about two meters long and wide.

Then put hay and sea salt on the surface as cover and bait.

Although there are two people involved in the compilation.

However, the hunting net was not completed until the sun came out at noon.

"Will Qin Ruoshuang be worried if you don't go back like this?"

Turning his head to look at Xiang Lingying beside him, Zhang Liu suddenly thought of this question.

"Well……"

Hearing Zhang Liu's question, Xiang Lingying's eyes suddenly showed a bit of panic.

In fact, she had considered this matter, and she had considered it yesterday at noon...

But faced with the opportunity to be alone with Zhang Liu, Xiang Lingying was absolutely reluctant to leave.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the wonderful feeling of security that I got when I leaned on Zhang Liu’s lower abdomen last night.

She has already fallen deeply...

At the same time, Xiang Lingying understood very well that if she was with other people, even the head maid, she would definitely be interrupted if she wanted to do such rude behavior!

So Xiang Lingying was unwilling to answer Zhang Liu. He had thought about it himself and wanted to go back early.

So she was ready to lie!

"I have already told Qin Ruoshuang that if I could meet you, I would help you..."

Xiang Lingying has actually told quite a few lies since she was a child.

But that's all for other people.

For example, if an uncle in the family made a mistake and the father wanted to use his authority as the head of the family to deal with it according to the family rules, she would deliberately help to tell lies like the other party usually took good care of her.

This will help reduce the severity of penalties.

And now, Xiang Lingying said this for himself.

Looking at the boy in front of her silently, she continued, "So after I saw you, I wasn't going to leave!"

"Qin Ruoshuang...classmate?"

Zhang Liu slowly repeated the honorific that Xiang Lingying had subconsciously added because of his guilty conscience, and then asked in a very suspicious tone: "Um, Xiang Lingying... did you really say that to Qin Ruoshuang?"

"I... I did!" Faced with the boy's doubtful tone, Xiang Lingying felt extremely guilty, but thinking of the stimulation of the place where her head rested last night, she swallowed her saliva reluctantly, and then responded in a very affirmative tone: "I did tell her!"

After saying that, Xiang Lingying fixed his gaze on Zhang Liu and began to look at him without any avoidance.

This is the speaking skill she learned from her father. Even if she is not confident, she has to stare at the other person!

"Well……"

Zhang Liu didn't say anything, but looked at Xiang Lingying with an affirmative look.

He had only been guessing based on his not-so-sharp intuition before, but now, Zhang Liu was certain that the other party was lying.

Because my two lovely sisters used to lie like this, the more guilty they felt, the more determined their eyes became...

He remained silent for several seconds under Zhang Liu's affirmative gaze.

Then Xiang Lingying slowly retracted his glaring posture.

The original "I won't lie" look on her face also quietly disappeared.

It began to transform into a pleading expression of "I feel a little guilty, but please don't tell it to you."

But this expression did not last long.

After just a few minutes, Xiang Lingying looked at Zhang Liu seriously, and then she said what she was thinking: "I want to stay with you for a while, because I have a good impression of you!"

After hearing Xiang Lingying's words, Zhang Liu was suddenly at a loss for words.

In terms of sincerity, the other party's words were already full of sincerity.

And he said exactly what he should have said.

But it was precisely this situation of full sincerity that made him feel like he had no way to connect.

It was really difficult to talk about such an ambiguous topic with Xiang Lingying...

While the two were talking and chatting, they never stopped working.

When the sun completely stopped at the center of the sky, the pit trap covered with hay on the ground was completely completed.

Looking a little further away, even Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying, who had laid the trap themselves, were somewhat unable to detect it.

But then they fell into another huge crisis, which was food shortage!

"Let's eat some palm cores first, then I'll go to the mountain to find some fruits. You can stay here and make pottery, and see if there are any goats coming." Touching his stomach that had been reporting hunger for a long time, Zhang Liu said, "If a goat falls into the trap..."

Looking at Xiang Lingying who seemed not very good at rushing forward to fight while roaring, he also felt a slight headache and gritted his teeth.

The person in front of me is not Anya who would fight a goat with a stone...

What if I'm not here and the other party is killed by the goat...

Chapter 398: The Third Person to Point Out the Fire-Making Skill Tree

If you don't have enough manpower, then use weapons to supplement it!

Zhang Liu understood this point very well.

He decisively tied a small piece of metal that he carried with him, which served as a dagger, to a wooden stick about two meters long.

After only a few minutes of production, a spear with considerable lethality was immediately formed.

"I understand!" Without waiting for Zhang Liu to speak, Xiang Lingying picked up the spear he had made and said, "I will be responsible for stabbing the goat to death when the time comes!"

As she spoke, she showed a serious look on her face and waved the spear in her hand twice, which did have considerable killing power.

"Okay!" Seeing Xiang Lingying being so sensible, Zhang Liu felt relieved. He continued to give him a few more instructions, telling him to prioritize saving his life if an accident occurred and not to fight with the goat.

Zhang Liu took the fire hammer and went to the nearby area to cut down the palm trees that were everywhere.

This is not the first time he has set his sights on palm trees, so the overall work efficiency is very fast.

In less than half an hour, a large number of snow-white, slender palm cores that looked like unjointed sugarcanes and golden palm flowers, each of whose seeds looked like honey, were piled up in front of the green pool shelter.

Their only advantage is their appearance. If you just look at them with your eyes, they do look delicious.

After eating it in your mouth...

Hearts of palm are bland.

Palm blossoms even have a bitter taste.

Even if you eat a lot of the tree core inside the trunk or the palm flowers on the tree, you won't feel full.

But when going up the mountain, you can have a full stomach or walk on the road empty.

Those are definitely two different experiences.

When the sun moves away from the center.

Zhang Liu waved his hand at Xiang Lingying who was still chewing the palm core, then he walked up the mountain with his empty backpack on his back.

Walking on the mountain path that had been vaguely trampled out, Zhang Liu's pace was quite fast, even speeding up a bit at a jog.

Time is running out now.

He had to go down the mountain and meet Xiang Lingying before dark.
