Wu smiled and took it over, lowering his gaze to the bamboo bowl in his hand filled with water, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"It's actually quite similar to the stone bowl!"
There is a stone bowl in the cave, but it is used for pounding medicine.
"This is a seat? It looks like it's woven from bamboo!"
He pointed to the bamboo chair under his feet and asked.
Yu Yao smiled slightly and said, "Yes, there is no place to sit in the cave. There are also no relatively flat stones nearby. I cut some bamboo from the back mountain to make this. It's convenient to sit and eat."
"You're quite clever, aren't you?"
Wu praised her with a glance.
After that, he wandered around the cave again and pointed to the several bamboo baskets and baskets in the corner, "Are these also made by you?"
"Yes, the big ones are called bamboo baskets, which can be carried. The small ones are called bamboo baskets as well, which can be lifted. Both can be used to carry things; it's just that they vary in size."
Yu Yao looked at the several baskets and bamboo baskets in the corner and explained.
Wu nodded slightly, walked to the corner, and stared at the bamboo shoots in the basket. He picked up another one, looked at it in his hand, then put it down.
"What is this?"
"They are bamboo shoots, which were dug from the bamboo forest in the back mountain. They can be eaten. If peeled and dried, they can be preserved for a long time."
Yu Yao walked over, and even peeled one out herself to show him the flesh of the bamboo shoot.
"Wu, this meat here is edible, but you have to cook it first before you can eat it."
Wu took it and looked at it. The dim, old eyes of his instantly brightened a few degrees. He looked at her with sharp eyes, "What you just said that this thing is called bamboo shoots and can be eaten, as well as kept for a long time, is true?"
In the beast world, winter is extremely difficult to endure, lasting as long as five months in some cases.
During these five months, it's almost impossible to find any food, and the beastmen rely on the food they stockpiled at the end of the harvest season to survive the winter.
Their snakes and beasts are lucky enough, as they will enter hibernation during the winter season, regardless of whether they eat or not, they won't feel hungry.
But other races are much worse off, with many beastmen dying of hunger and freezing to death every year.
Especially the young and the elderly, there are more of them who die.
If the thing called bamboo shoots can indeed be preserved for a long time, it can also add one more thing to the tribe's winter food supply.
Although the snakes and beasts will hibernate during the snow season, they also wake up from time to time.
When they wake up, they need to eat.
Yu Yao smiled faintly, "Of course, it's true. However, they have to be dried out. Only dried out can they be preserved for a long time. Just soak them directly when you want to eat, and then boil them to eat."
Wu nodded slightly without doubting her words.
The effects of Panax notoginseng are well-known among all the beastmen of the tribe.
And everything in the cave is so unique.
Wu stared at Yu Yao with a fixed gaze, feeling that this little female in front of him was very special and knowledgeable.
He can always come up with some strange but very useful things.
Perhaps this is the person who has been blessed by the animal god.
"I'm curious, since you know how to identify herbs, and you're so knowledgeable and a valuable female, why would you be alone in the Wolra Forest? Which tribe were you originally from?"
Is it because they can't have children? Or were they expelled from the tribe?
Yu Yao hadn't expected Wu to ask such a question, and telling the truth was definitely not an option. So she half-truthed, "I was originally from the Snow Fox tribe. At that time, I was very sick, and the people of my tribe thought I couldn't survive, so they left me in the Wolra Forest!"
After she finished speaking, a hint of sadness flickered in her eyes.
The emotional portrayal is very accurate.
Wu understood in his heart. He had thought so, after all, no tribe would be willing to abandon such a valuable female outside.
If they truly believed that they couldn't keep her alive, then it would be understandable.
Seeing the sadness in her eyes again, he thought he had struck a sore point in her, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Suddenly thinking of something else, he asked again, "Do you still have that herb called Panax notoginseng?"
Talking so much, almost forgot what the main purpose of today's visit was.
"Sorry, I've already run out of Panax notoginseng. I was just planning to go out and dig some back."
Yu Yao put the basket back on her back, and added a bone knife inside, obviously preparing to go out.
Wu knew that she didn't have Panax notoginseng in her hand, so he asked about its appearance and then left.
Before leaving, he took another basket. This thing is indeed convenient and can also be used to carry herbs.
Yu Yao can easily weave bamboo baskets, as there are plenty of bamboo trees all over the mountain. So she gave him one as a gift.
Wu walked away with a satisfied smile.
Yu Yao also went out with the basket to gather herbs.
She quickly left the tribe and entered the forest, her eyes started working busily, constantly searching for herbs and edible things.
The food here is simply too limited, with meat being the only thing available.
Even the fruits are only one or two kinds of wild fruits, and there are no wild vegetables at all.
Everyone thought they were grass.
Yu Yao meandered through the woods, making several turns and taking several paths. She didn't know where she was heading.
It's no use trying to find my way; I've long forgotten which direction I came from.
On the way, I've gathered quite a few herbs, including Panax notoginseng, Chenopodium epilobium, Angelica sinensis, Ginseng rhizoma, Peucedanum sciaticum, Mentha piperita... and Semonakis decompositus.
I've also gathered Fritillaria thunbergii, and Guizhi, both of which are good at treating wind-cold.
She also found a large area of chrysanthemums. Drinking the tea made from dried chrysanthemums is very good, as she gets overheated due to eating meat every day.
This itself is a traditional Chinese medicine.
The resources in the beast world are indeed abundant; the mountains and forests are full of medicinal herbs. In just a short while, her basket was full.
Thinking for a moment, she emptied the herbs in her basket into the space, leaving the basket empty, and continued to dig.
She also discovered a large jujube tree, which was covered with tightly packed jujubes, and the size of each fruit was particularly large.
She picked a jujube, wiped it clean, and took a bite; she found it quite sweet.
Jujube is a good thing, it can replenish blood, and it can also be eaten as a snack.
She found a long stick nearby.
Then she gave the very tall jujube tree a strong beating with the stick.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
"Thud, thud, thud..."
In an instant, the densely packed jujubes fell to the ground, covering the area like a red carpet.
"Ssss..."
A rustling sound came from the grass behind her. Yu Yao turned around sharply, looking alert and staring at the nearly one-meter-high clump of grass with suspicion.
"Ssss..."
She had a stern expression, quietly took out her dagger, aimed at the grass, and remained motionless.
The grass shook violently, and suddenly a white shadow jumped out from within.
She was taken aback and realized it was a gigantic white tiger with wings.
"Little female, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"
The white tiger saw her look of caution and fear and spoke humanely.
Yu Yao carefully observed the white tiger and found that it was actually a male six-stage beast.
You can tell the level by looking at the patterns on their forehead, a few patterns indicate a certain level.
This is a powerful tiger beast whose strength is comparable to that of Moju.
Her heart quickly made a conclusion.
"Little female, this thing has no meat, and it has a shell. Why do you want to eat it?"
The white tiger glanced at the ground covered with jujubes and said in a puzzled tone.
Is this little female starving? Otherwise, why would she eat such things?
Knowing that this little female is not a wild animal, Yu Yao felt relieved. Male beasts would not attack females casually.
Unless it's a roaming beast.
"I call this jujube. It's quite sweet, and although there's not much meat, it can be eaten as a snack!"
She explained one sentence and continued to pick up jujubes on the ground.
Hearing this, the white tiger also bent down and picked up a jujube to eat, but it spat it out after a few bites.
The expression seemed like it was hard to swallow.
"Although it's quite sweet, the size is really too small, not enough to fill my teeth. I still like to eat meat better."
"Hey, you have the scent of that snake on you?"
The white tiger narrowed its huge tiger eyes and looked at her closely. Then, it suddenly rushed over and began to sniff around her fiercely.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Yao was startled and instinctively moved her body backward. She stared alertly at the white tiger.
At the same time, she assumed a defensive posture.
The white tiger didn't pay attention to her defensive posture and said with a narrowed gaze, "Are you the female of Moju? I can smell his aura on you, and there are also the marks of his mate on you."
She was slightly stunned, not expecting the white tiger to know Moju, but she did not deny it either, "Yes, Moju is my beast husband!"
