Chapter 311: I'm Not Happy at All

Aya beside her trembled, quickly threw the mushroom in her hand away, then began rubbing her hands on her own animal-skin clothing.

Wu Yue stepped forward, picked up the mushroom that had been battered until its cap was shattered, and said seriously: "There are many kinds of mushrooms; the one we hold is non‑poisonous, but many brightly colored, beautiful mushrooms are poisonous if eaten."

Regarding Wu Yue's ability, the two girls who could be called her fangirls naturally believed her without doubt, and immediately began pester Wu Yue to teach them how to recognize mushrooms.

Finally, the three actually gathered three baskets of mushrooms and brought them back, then drank a pot of extraordinarily delicious mushroom soup at Wu Yue's home.

Although the rains of the light rainy season are not as strong as those of the heavy rainy season, clear weather is nevertheless rare.

At noon, the three sliced the gathered mushrooms and laid them out to dry on grass mats.

Qingcao looked at Wu Yue: "Is this enough? Will it keep for a long time?"

Wu Yue shook her head: "In this weather we cannot wait for it to air‑dry naturally, so we need to dry it by heating."

As for what Wu Yue said about air‑drying and heat‑drying, Qingcao and Aya were completely clueless.

They could only stare wide‑eyed, lifting their arms to show off their strength: "Leave the brainless chores to us."

Wu Yue: "..."

Your self‑assessment is quite accurate.

"The place where I dug up taro before has a kind of earth that can be used to make a drying furnace; we now need to go carry that earth back."

Aya gave a hehe laugh: "We just need to find a few slaves; one trip will be enough to move it."

The three all the way came to the place where the slaves lived.

Changye, who had just returned from changing shifts on the back mountain, trotted over when he saw Wu Yue: "Wu Yue, is there anything you need us to do here?"

Seeing Changye, Wu Yue was also very pleased: "I need some of that earth that Tengkun found on the back mountain last time."

Hearing this, Changye's eyes lit up; this was an opportunity to do something for Wu Yue.

His usually dull eyes brightened a bit: "You go back and wait a moment; I will now find people to bring that earth back—I know where it is."

Seeing his happy expression, Wu Yue felt a bit sour in her heart and nodded: "Then please trouble yourselves."

Having said that, she took Qingcao and Aya and left.

Qingcao looked at her doubtfully: "Yue, how do you know those slaves?"

Wu Yue turned her head to glance at the slaves' already agitated grass hut: "Because we all came from the same tribe."

Aya frowned: "Is that the little tribe that traded you for food?"

Wu Yue nodded: "Of course; if I hadn't been brought here to trade for food, I wouldn't have been able to meet you."

Hearing this, both of them burst out laughing hehehe.

"Yue, saying that makes us not at all happy."

"Exactly, just a so‑so feeling."

Wu Yue: "..."

You two putting on a show of saying one thing while meaning another are really quite great.

The task of carrying the earth was given to the slaves, and the three each fetched wooden buckets from their homes to begin drawing water.

With the slaves' extra help, Wu Yue's simple drying kiln was finally completed in the afternoon.

Seeing the slaves covered all over with yellow earth, Wu Yue felt warm inside.

"Changye, come here for a moment."
