Chapter 61: Also a Medicinal Herb

As soon as Wu Yue finished speaking, the females beside her all laughed: "Being able to have a leaf left is already quite good."

The females' words carried no malice; Shui beside them also laughed embarrassedly: "My family has many young ones, so it's always hard to have leftover food."

This leaf is something I barely managed to hide; otherwise those little brats would definitely have found and eaten it.

Wu Yue looked at the somewhat wilted leaf in her hand, feeling a bit sour: "It's fine; just seeing this leaf I can also find this wild vegetable."

She looked at the females beside her and smiled: "Before, A Mu also taught me to recognize this medicinal herb."

"You say this is a medicinal herb?" Shui looked at the small leaf in her hand, somewhat surprised.

Wu Yue nodded: "Yes, we eat more meat; if something grows in the mouth causing pain, eating more of this medicinal herb can also help."

All the females looked at her with reverence; Shui carefully edged next to Wu Yue: "Yue, are you a shaman?"

Wu Yue gave a bitter smile: "I'm not a shaman; my A Mu used to be a shaman disciple, so I know some medicinal herbs; sometimes when she takes me to gather, she teaches me to recognize them."

The females breathed a sigh of relief, then began to gather around Wu Yue to discuss wild vegetables.

The Beastfolk here call all edible plants 'wild vegetables'; even the previous bitter vegetable was named by Wu Yue after she gathered it, and Qing Hua and Qingcao also came to be called that.

After Wu Yue told them the name of this wild vegetable was dandelion, the females looked at the leaf in Shui's hand and were at a loss for words: "This wild vegetable doesn't even look like the Eagle Beastfolk."

"'The names the shaman gives to medicinal herbs are really strange.'"

The females chattered about the dandelion's name; clever Wu Yue, having accomplished her goal, withdrew and didn't join their discussion, otherwise there would be countless 'why's.

After walking about half an hour, Flower Tree Grandma finally stopped in front of a grove: "Everyone listen up, after entering the woods don't stray too far from the group, don't run outside the males' patrol range."

"'Although it's not far from the tribe, there will still be wild beasts around, understood!'"

The females loudly agreed; Flower Tree Grandma stopped talking nonsense, waved her hand to signal everyone to scatter and gather freely.

She herself called Wu Yue to her side: "Yue, this is your first time following our gathering party; this time you can come with me."

While speaking, she walked toward a shadier spot: "I heard from Ye Duo's A Mu that you got hurt while gathering wild vegetables?"

Wu Yue nodded embarrassedly: "I've been physically weak since childhood, so my father and A Mu didn't let me participate in the tribe's gathering activities; thus the last gathering was also my first time doing it myself, which is why I got hurt."

Flower Tree nodded: "Then you need to get used to it early; you don't have a male yet, if you don't train your gathering skills well, you'll go hungry."

Wuyue nodded: "I understand, thank you, Flower Tree Grandma."

Flower Tree waved her hand: "In a few days we'll go to the chieftain to exchange salt; each tribe member has a set amount; you should gather more food, and exchange all of your share back."

If your food only suffices to exchange for part of the salt, the remainder will have to be sold cheaply to those who have food.

Saying that, she also winked at Wu Yue: "For example, my family."
