Carefully pressing the net firmly with stones, Mu Qing took the stone ax and coconut shell to the thorny land behind the cliff.
Xiao Hei followed her for a while. When he realized that she was going to the thorny land, he was probably still frightened by yesterday's experience. He ran around her for a few times and tried to stop her, but he couldn't help being a follower, so he followed her anyway. come over. But while she was cutting away thorns and digging for salt crystals, she stood watching from a distance and made a low sound in her throat.
Mu Qing collected several shells of salt crystals mixed with various miscellaneous materials, and returned to the cave with satisfaction. For nearly a day, she did two things repeatedly, boiling salt and collecting nets. By the afternoon, except for a few coconut shells left for water, the rest were filled with salt. She also collected five nets of fish that day. She counted exactly eighty fish. There were all kinds of fish, most of them were a kind of fish with a gray-black body and a silver belly. The big one weighed several kilograms. She couldn't handle it, so she had to put it in the grass, wait until it died, then scrape the scales, cut the belly and apply salt. Like other treatments, put a grass stem through the fish's mouth and hang it to dry. When she was killing the fish, she was still thinking of instructing Li Mang to dig a small pond and raise the fish one day when he was free. This would not only make it easier to catch the fish, but also allow them to eat fresh fish at any time.
As the sun set in the west, Mu Qing gradually lost interest in doing things. After putting on the washed and dried clothes stained by boiling salt, he took Xiao Hei to the ditch and waited eagerly for Li Mang to come back.
Li Mang didn't worry her for long. After putting it away at dusk, before the afterglow, his figure appeared at the corner of the canyon entrance.
Mu Qing called his name excitedly and waved to him. It's as if he didn't just leave this morning, but it feels like his beloved has finally come home after a long absence.
He had a good harvest today, two animals that looked a bit like goats but much larger than roe deer, a long string of pheasants and pheasants tied with branches, and a large bag of fruits and pheasants that he picked along the way when he came back. All kinds of wild vegetables and mushrooms, he knew she liked these.
Mu Qing helped him get the fruit bag. When she stretched out her hand, Li Mang saw several wounds on her hand. They were accidentally scratched by the edge of a stone while killing fish, and her fingers were also swollen due to soaking for a day. Some are white and wrinkled.
He seemed a little distressed and held her hand.
Mu Qing withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and took him back to the cave with a smile on his face.
It's night. Li Mang sat outside and sharpened his weapons and stone knives in the moonlight. The weapons were for him to use for hunting, and the stone knives were for her to sharpen.
I just saw her hanging so many fish to dry during the day, and thinking of the scratch marks on her hands, he felt very sad. Her hands were soft and slippery, and when he squeezed her palms, they were as soft as bones. He liked the feeling it gave him when it touched his skin at night. He didn't want him to work so hard. In fact, even if she did nothing, he believed that he could support her. He couldn't help but tell her while eating, but she just looked at him with bright eyes and smiled. He had always been unable to resist this kind of smile towards her. Knowing that she would not change her mind and listen to him, he had to return the saber to her so that she could save some effort. But she said no. He had no choice but to polish a sharp stone knife for her so that she could work more smoothly tomorrow.
Mu Qing picked out a thin rabbit bone that he had specially left yesterday. He ground the needle tip at the center of the bone, then drilled a hole with the slightly wider tail of the drill on his saber, and a needle came out. She happily took the bone needle and returned to the inner cave, took out her backpack, used scissors to cut off the sutures of the cloth on the bag, and slowly took out several large and small pieces of fabric.
She wanted to use the fabric to make herself a bra and panties.
It turns out that after losing the pair of underwear, she has been in a vacuum until now. Moreover, there is no bra to support the upper body. Not only does it feel inconvenient when running, but it is also worried that it will sag prematurely in the long run. She unpacked the bag and used canvas to make knotted underwear, which was an idea she had before. Now that she had settled down a bit, she took action while she was free in the evening.
She sat in front of the fire and spread the cloth flat on the ground. Before cutting, she carefully thought about how to cut it to save fabric and be comfortable to wear, and she made gestures with her hands. There were just a few pieces of cloth, and she didn't dare to cut them at will. If they were damaged, there would be no way to repair them. When I finally thought about it, I used the end of a burnt wooden stick to draw the shape on the imaginary fabric, and then carefully cut it out with scissors.
When Li Mang came in, he saw her sewing needles there. Curiously, she picked up a piece of stuff that had been sewn next to her. It looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that it was similar to the small stuff she had worn close to her body before, except that there were two more straps sewn on the front. And she was sewing something strange on her hand. Two round pieces of fabric were connected together, like... two bowls held side by side.
His woman always has some wonderful and unexpected ideas in her mind, and he is not surprised. So it didn't really matter, I just sat next to her and watched.
Mu Qing sewed the shoulder straps, nailed the two straps used to bind the back tightly, and then carefully used dense needles to lock the edges of the pocket tightly to prevent them from becoming hairy, and a homemade little cutie came out. She immediately took off her outer clothes and tried them on.
After fastening the two straps on her back, she really admired herself. In the past, I couldn't even sew a button with the stitches aligned with my hands, but now I can actually make it fit so well. Moreover, the canvas material feels quite good when it touches the skin and is a little soft due to wear and tear.
Li Mang looked at the plump and plump little girl that wrapped most of her chest, and was even more surprised than when he first saw her little panties. The same thing as those two bowls was actually detained here!
He stared straight at her half-covered body, with a deep snow mark appearing in the middle, motionless.
Mu Qing was so amused by his reaction that he couldn't help but chuckle. Just as she was about to untie it and plan to wash it before wearing it tomorrow, he reached out and kneaded it hard through the fabric a few times, then reached behind her and pulled the knot open.
Perhaps the little cutie was originally invented just for a woman to put it on and then have her man take it off?
When Mu Qing was carried to his sleeping place, such an idea came to his mind.
In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since they settled here. The coolness of early autumn has gradually turned into the coldness of late autumn. At a glance, the jungle in the distance is still dark and light green, but the green has been infiltrated with golden yellow.
It has become difficult to pick the juicy and plump fruits as before, and the few remaining branches are yellow and shrunken. But Mu Qing is not very worried. She has stored a lot of dried fish, dried fruits, dried wild vegetables, mushrooms, and roots of starchy plants dug nearby. Limang goes out hunting almost every day, and there are more or less harvests every day. They get more and more meat and various furs. These things, along with firewood, were stored by Mu Qing in another smaller cave next to their cave. Mu Qing cleaned the inside thoroughly, and would inspect it at least two or three times a day, touching this, counting that, and calculating how many days it would be enough for her and Li Mang.
Seeing the hole being filled with more and more things, she will feel a sense of fulfillment in her heart. Even the smell of pickled food that she was afraid of avoiding in the past will now make her very satisfied.
Among the furs they have, Mu Qing likes the kind that looks like roe deer. She heard Li Mang mention it, saying that this thing can often be seen in the jungle. In summer, because of the hot weather, the fur on the skin is not thick, and there is only a short layer of velvet, which can be used as ready-to-wear clothes. When the weather gets colder, the fur will become thicker. Most of the people in their settlement used to rely on this kind of fur to keep out the cold during the winter.
Mu Qing peeled off a whole piece of skin and washed it and dried it in the sun. She used Limang to teach her how to soak it in boiled grass ash water for a day and night, and then dried the skin in the shade. Not only did the smell fade, but it also felt much softer. The hair on top is also stronger. Just two or three of these skins can be put together into a mattress. She and Li Mang now sleep on a fur mattress like this, with a thick layer of hay spread underneath. They squeeze into his arms at night, and are covered in soft down, so they are warm without burning a fire. Moreover, the clothes she and Li Mangxian wear are made of this thin leather, which is very suitable for the weather.
Mu Qing has been a little troubled these days. The source of her troubles is her neighbor monkeys.
This group of monkeys doesn’t seem to have the habit of storing food. When the fruit was plentiful, they would take a bite and throw away one without any heartache. Now that they don’t have as many food sources as before, they actually picked up wood and put it outside to dry dried meat and fish. Got the idea. Mu Qing didn't know it at first, but later he found out that things in the sun always disappeared inexplicably, so he thought it was Xiao Hei causing trouble. After Xiao Hei was taught a lesson, he kept an eye on it and found that there was still something missing. After observing it carefully, he realized that the monkey had actually stolen it.
This is the first time Mu Qing knows that monkeys eat meat. Originally, it was okay to steal something to eat, but the trouble is that gradually these monkeys became bolder. Not only did they eat and take away things, but they also threw things that couldn't be taken away and made a mess. And the strange thing is that the monkey king of the monkey group is not the certain male monkey she thought before, but a very large female monkey, alert and fierce. Sometimes when she comes to catch up, the female monkey will even rush away with her monkeys and grandchildren while baring her teeth and threatening her. After she was busy and left, they immediately gathered together. As a result, she couldn't do anything during the day, just playing hide-and-seek with the monkeys.
Xiao Hei has grown so fast that he no longer needs to be fed by Mu Qing. In just two months, he has grown up to her knees, and his fur is much brighter than when he first picked it up. It sneaked out a few days ago, and when it came back after dark, it held a rabbit whose throat had been bitten off. Only then did Mu Qing realize that it had grown a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Mu Qing has also guessed what kind of animal Xiao Hei is. At first she thought it was an ancient dog, but it didn't look much like it. Speaking of leopards, their fur doesn't seem to be as long. Recently, she determined that it was similar to a lion cub, but its fur color had mutated into black. But a few days ago, she noticed that Xiao Hei's back seemed to be itchy, and he kept rubbing **** her legs. Later, he even lay on the ground and rubbed it on stones. She was afraid that it had parasites or lice, so she caught it and examined it carefully. She was surprised to find that there were several white spots sprouting on the back of its neck and the front of its back, like the tips of its baby teeth. It's very hard when pressed with your hand. I suspected that something like an acanthus was about to grow and it was itching, so I rubbed it all over again.
There are actually thorns growing out of Little Black's back. This shocked Mu Qing.
