Chapter 81

Wu Yue took out her own multifunctional small stone pot, poured the coarse salt that Qingcao's father had brought in, then threw in a few handfuls of Sichuan pepper, and only then began to stir-fry continuously.

Only when the coarse salt became somewhat hot did she gesture to the young Beastfolk to bring a piece of hide, then poured the scalding salt onto it.

Then she picked up that hide bag and went to the place where Qingcao's A Mu was asleep.

First she covered her belly with a layer of hide, then placed the hide-wrapped coarse salt on top.

Heat continuously streamed down from above her belly; the pale-faced middle-aged female in the grass nest instantly relaxed her brows and eyes, letting out a comfortable sigh.

She then slowly opened her eyes; her sleep had not been sound, so she faintly heard the conversation in the cave, realizing it was this little female beside her who had helped ease her pain.

A faint smile appeared on her weak face: "Thank you, little female; just now I felt like I had swallowed an ice cube, but now I'm warm and much more comfortable."

Wu Yue chuckled lightly: "From now on, don't eat those two wild vegetables—bitter greens and dandelion—together, or you'll end up like this again."

After saying that, she pointed to the hide placed on her belly holding the coarse salt: "If your belly still feels uncomfortable later, you can also use this method."

"But it's best to eat bitter greens and dandelion sparingly."

Qingcao's A Mu gratefully grabbed Wu Yue's hand: "Thank you so much, little female; I actually sometimes get a bellyache too, especially when I eat bitter greens each year."

"But it's never been this severe before, so I didn't pay attention."

Qingcao knelt beside the middle-aged female: "A Mu, let's go to another gathering team to exchange for wild vegetables you can eat."

Qingcao's father had already been sitting to the side, holding Qingcao's A Mu's hand and said: "If you can't eat bitter greens from now on, just eat meat instead."

The young male who had just lit the fire also chimed in: "A Mu, you should just eat meat from now on; I and your father are here."

Seeing this, Wu Yue stood up: "Since Grandma is feeling much better, I'll head back."

The young male suddenly turned his head to look at her: "Little female, thank you for saving my A Mu; later I'll bring you some food."

Wu Yue chuckled lightly: "No need; Qingcao is my good friend, I'm just helping my friend."

The male laughed loudly: "I heard from Shilin before that you're a kind little female, but I see you're even more impressive than Shilin said."

Speaking, he straightened his chest and looked at Wu Yue: "My name is Cao Fang; little female, if you ever need help with anything, you can come find me."

Wu Yue smiled and nodded: "Just call me Wu Yue."

After saying that, she briefly bade farewell to Qingcao and Mu Jing and the others, then left.

Qingcao, standing nearby, looked at Wu Yue: "Yue, Cao Fang just introduced himself to you—why are you being so cold?"

Wu Yue glanced at her: "I'm not going to become his mate, so why be so enthusiastic?"

Qingcao clicked her tongue in regret: "Cao Fang is a Beastman Warrior; if you became his second mate, you'd never have to worry about meat again."

Wu Yue: "."

I'd have to be quite accomplished to become someone's second wife just for a piece of meat.

After Qingcao bade farewell to Wu Yue, she went to Qing Hua's house to mooch a meal.

After returning home, Wu Yue took out two dandelions, blanched them, then hung them on the wooden pole outside to dry.

"Ding~ Triggered quest: Make dandelion dried vegetables, quest reward: points ×10."
