"That makes sense."
Monet was the first to respond. She lay down on Sang Ning with great pleasure. Beneath her were thick fern leaves. The comfort was certainly not as good as her luxurious bed, but it was soft and quite comfortable to lie on.
"I'll listen to Ningning."
"Um."
Mu Tao and Luo Tianya exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We'll listen to you too."
Sang Ning smiled and said, "Go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
As the four people fell asleep one after another, the screen in the live stream didn't go black, but the live streamer automatically switched its view, pointing the camera at the campfire.
The vines have all been lowered to form a natural curtain, covering the cave entrance. It is both concealed and well-ventilated, so you don't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning even if the campfire burns all night.
But the mountain forest was not quiet at night; on the contrary, it was bustling with activity.
There are quite a few nocturnal creatures that sleep during the day and are active at night, and even ferocious beasts have emerged.
So, outside the pitch-black cave, besides the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the branches and vines, there were also the sharp, fierce, or trembling roars and howls of animals.
The live streamer had excellent sound quality, and all the sounds were recorded and delivered to the audience's ears. Some found it too creepy and chose to switch channels to watch other contestants, while others simply logged off.
Regardless of the reason, these viewers decided to wait until dawn when Sang Ning and the others woke up before returning.
After a good night's sleep, Sang Ning brushed her teeth with new willow twigs and charcoal in the morning. Mu Tao, who had more experience, did it herself. Luo Tianya and Mo Nainai, on the other hand, had never seen anyone use willow twigs and charcoal to clean their mouths before, and they stood there dumbfounded, staring at the two of them.
"Why are you looking at us? Come on, let's see what you're up to."
Mu Tao waved to the two of them and even offered them willow branches and charcoal with great enthusiasm, saying, "Although the experience is indeed terrible, it can clean your teeth, so you can bear with it."
Luo Tianya and Mo Nainai exchanged a glance. To be honest, they were fundamentally against the willow branches and charcoal, but Mu Tao was right, they could just bear with it.
It's better than not cleaning your teeth at all.
Therefore, the two of them also repeated Mu Tao's previous bitter face.
Brushing your teeth with willow twigs and charcoal is really exciting.
Once you've experienced that feeling, you truly never want to try it again in your lifetime.
However, the dog show crew was ruthless; with only one piece of equipment and supplies, they had no choice but to try it.
That's also a sin.
I regret participating in this show again and again; I don't even know what I came up with.
Sang Ning ignored them and quickly made breakfast after washing up: boiled eggs, roasted yams, and a cold wild vegetable salad.
With oil and salt, as well as wild ginger, wild scallions, and wild chili peppers, the wild vegetables tasted pretty good, and Mu Tao and the others were quite satisfied with their meal.
Then, Sang Ning washed her hair. She boiled a pot of water with hibiscus leaves to wash her hair. Her hair came out quite clean, but there was one problem: it was rough.
However, the original owner's hair quality was not very good to begin with, and the long-term exposure to sandstorms and malnutrition made it normal for her to have such hair quality.
Following tooth powder, I need to get my hands on osmanthus oil, fragrance oil, and soap.
There are so many things to do, but fortunately she's not alone now, she has three helpers. As long as she's willing to work hard, she'll get all of these things.
"Ning, Ningning, can I wash my hair too?"
Mo Nai Nai leaned closer, somewhat embarrassed.
Sang Ning was combing her hair with her fingers when she heard the voice and asked hesitantly, "We're out of hibiscus leaves. How about I wash it tonight?"
"Let's go out and pick more hibiscus leaves today, and Mu Tao and Luo Tianya can also wash up."
That's a good option.
They can wait a few hours.
The three nodded hurriedly. Seeing this, Sang Ning stopped combing her hair, picked up her basket and hamper, and told them to take their equipment and set off.
Two women and two men walked through the lush mountain forest.
It rained overnight, and the lush vegetation, washed by the rain, looked even greener and fresher.
Not far from the cave, Sang Ning and his companions arrived at a tree that was seven or eight meters tall and covered with clusters of green fruit.
Can you climb trees?
Pointing to the fruit tree, Sang Ning asked.
"meeting."
Mo Nai Nai and the others spoke in unison, and before Sang Ning could reply, Mu Tao climbed up the tree like a monkey, her movements more agile than ever before.
Sanning, "ยทยทยท"
It turns out that genetically optimized humans have also increased their speed, which is good.
"Ningning, how much do you want?"
"Pick one off a bunch first, let me see if I can eat it."
So, Mu Tao came down with a bunch of fruit that looked like grapes and handed it to Sang Ning.
"Is this edible?"
Mo Nainai leaned closer, but Sang Ning shook her head. Seeing this, Luo Tianya asked, "Then why did you pick it?"
"Let's see if it's edible."
Sang Ning held the bunch of grapes, which looked like grapes but each one was the size of a ping-pong ball, and looked at them from top to bottom. Then, she noticed that some of the grapes were broken.
Judging from the marks and damage, it looks like it has been pecked at by small insects and small birds.
She tore off a piece, peeled it, and found that the flesh inside was almost transparent and gave off a sweet aroma.
"It smells nice."
Mu Tao swallowed hard, reached out and plucked a piece, stuffing it into his mouth. He moved so fast that Sang Ning didn't even have time to react, let alone stop him.
When she came to her senses, she looked at Mu Tao, who was eating with a wide smile and mumbling that it was delicious, and said helplessly, "You can't eat just anything in the wild, especially when there's a lack of medicine. You have to be extremely careful, in case it's poisonous."
"It's not poisonous."
After swallowing the fruit, Mu Tao smiled and said, "I've already eaten it. This fruit tastes similar to the small red raspberry you picked yesterday. It's quite delicious."
"real?"
Luo Tianya's eyes lit up instantly, and Mo Nainai's expression wasn't much better.
"Really, I'm not lying."
Mu Tao nodded in agreement, and then the two of them quickly picked the fruit, peeled it, and stuffed it into their mouths.
Monet also slipped one into Sang Ning's hand. If they both ate it, there shouldn't be any major problems.
So, Sang Ning ate it too.
The taste is really good, it's a pity there's no sugar. If there were sugar, we could take all these fruits home and make them into jam, but eating them fresh is fine too.
The green ping-pong ball fruit won over the four people present with its sweet taste and plenty of moisture. Half an hour later, they left with a basket full of fruit.
For the next few days, Sang Ning led the three of them to search all over the mountains for medicinal herbs and to replenish their seasonings. They were willing to find substitutes that were exactly the same or had a similar taste.
Some alternatives actually taste better.
We picked quite a few lemons and even found a beehive. I don't know what kind of bee it was, but the bees were quite big, one about the size of a sparrow, and quite pretty.
It's fierce, holds grudges, and can track down enemies from afar by their scent.
Mu Tao and the others had protective suits, so they weren't afraid. Sang Ning, however, didn't have protective suits and didn't participate in the operation to clear out the beehives. Instead, at Mu Tao's request, she hid to the side and watched their actions.
