This world seems to be quite indiscriminate when it comes to food.
Yu Ling only realized this today.
Putting aside the original owner's life, where he had wine and meat at every meal in the military camp, even when he was a prisoner of war with Feng Yi, he was always served food on time. Although it wasn't delicious, it at least looked decent, and the portions were passable.
But Liu Morian's life here is truly miserable.
A few grains of rice, a few pieces of wild vegetables, a little water scooped from the bucket, and after a simmer, they become his breakfast in the pot.
Oh, by the way, this pot was carved from stone, supposedly because the iron capital was supplied to Feng Yi and his warriors.
After cooking, Liu Molian thoughtfully served Yu Ling a bowl as well.
The grain production of the Southern Yue Kingdom was the lowest among the three kingdoms, which was why the Southern Yue Kingdom was easier to conquer. Therefore, he was actually quite satisfied with his breakfast.
However, Yu Ling stared at the bowl of boiled wild vegetables, whose name she didn't know, for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out how this thing could possibly feed a healthy human.
"Why aren't you eating?" Liu Morian asked, sipping her soup. She glanced at the person opposite her, who hadn't touched a bite, and looked up at Yu Ling with a puzzled expression.
Yu Ling: "...You eat it."
It's so bitter, so incredibly bitter. Even survival can't be like this!
Seeing that Yu Ling was somewhat displeased, Liu Molian realized that this was actually just one person's food, and then pushed the bowl to himself.
Just as he was about to explain that he had enough to eat, before he could even open his mouth, Yu Ling went out again.
Liu Morian lowered her eyes, looking at the two bowls of rice in front of her.
General Yi seems to be quite different from what I expected. He even said he wouldn't eat, which doesn't seem like the kind of incompetent person who would surrender so easily.
In this strange place that he knew nothing about, Yu Ling preserved his public image in Liu Molian's eyes.
Meanwhile, Yu Ling, after leaving the house, did not head towards populated areas as she had done before, but instead went straight to the even more desolate wilderness.
[Host, aren't you tired from running like this? And according to the map, there's really nothing here, just these little bugs and stuff, and the trees are all dead.]
Seeing that Yu Ling was walking further and further away, the system was getting anxious, wondering what its host was up to.
"It is indeed a bit slow, thanks for reminding me."
After Yu Ling said that, the system actually felt a little embarrassed.
[No way~ This is what I should do, sob... sob? Ahhh—host, what are you doing?]
Yu Ling bought a body for the system.
A horse.
Then, I rode off on the system.
The original owner was an excellent rider, and the system's body was created by the main god. Before the system could catch its host off guard, it darted away.
[Ahhh, host, you have no sportsmanship! This isn't what a system is for!] The system cried, really.
Yu Ling: You little brat, you think you can be bossed around just because you can't be bossed around? The system is useless and can't be used? No! That's because the host isn't using it correctly!
His target this time was uninhabited land that none of the three countries had drawn upon their borders.
With the system's navigation and his mount, he quickly arrived at the nearest damp, shady, and secluded spot.
This place is the most suitable for bamboo to grow.
【Host, you're so clever! Where there's bamboo, there are bamboo shoots to eat!】The system horse snorted and rubbed the ground with its hooves.
“Bamboo can also be used to build houses. Liu Molian’s place is not a place to stay for long. I need to secretly build a shelter here so that I can escape in the future.”
Yu Ling explained to the system that she wasn't imprisoned in the palace, so how could she not run away from such a terrible place?
Ahem, I'm waiting for the right moment to act, enduring humiliation to save King Dongli!
"System, buy me a wilderness survival guide from the store. It should have a way to demolish a house with your bare hands. Oh, and go over there and dig up some bamboo shoots for me."
After squeezing every last drop of value from the system horse, Yu Ling fully utilized the original horse's strength, opened the newly purchased guide through the system panel, and combined it with her unique bamboo-cutting skills. She then took out the small knife she had secretly taken from Liu Morian when she left home and got right to work!
First, cut down about a certain number of bamboos and prepared them. Then, according to the parts, split the bamboos one by one and saw grooves on one side to serve as the roof frame. They also found some thicker bamboos to use as bamboo tiles.
Then, Yu Ling began looking for a reasonably suitable and somewhat pleasant place to live, preparing to build the framework.
Bamboo stalks were neatly arranged and driven into the ground, then the roof frame was built, bamboo strips were used as flooring, and finally, bamboo tiles were laid all over the roof.
From sunrise to sunset, hard work pays off, and Yu Ling finally finished building a decent retirement home.
Yu Ling built a very large bamboo house, big enough to house at least three to five people. But it was getting late, so the furniture and other details could only be made another time.
At this moment, the system horse was also kicking and shoving bamboo shoots one after another. There was no other way; you couldn't expect a horse to carry things around.
Yu Ling ate the bamboo shoots raw to fill her stomach, without bothering to pack some for Liu Morian to take back, fearing it might be difficult to explain. She put on her clothes, rode the system horse back home.
That's right, Yu Ling took off her clothes when she was working, otherwise the clothes would be too worn out and it would be easy to give herself away.
"That's enough. You can spend the night in the bamboo house and walk the rest of the way back." Yu Ling did a good job of keeping it a secret.
[Host, you have no heart, sob sob sob.]
The system's horse silhouette is forlorn.
And so, day after day, whenever Yu Ling had free time, she would ride the system back and forth, and the bamboo house became more and more exquisite.
Being roommates with Liu Molian was actually quite free. People here didn't have any serious illnesses, at most they suffered from malnutrition. Luo Xiaocan didn't come often either, so Yu Ling had a pretty easy time.
As the saying goes, accidents always happen unexpectedly. On this day, Yu Ling and Yan'er were building a fence to keep wild animals away from the bamboo house when a soprano voice suddenly rang out in their ears.
"Aaaaaah—Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!"
Yu Ling chose to cover her face rather than her body. She casually smeared some mud on her face and looked on helplessly.
A woman, covered in dust but dressed elegantly, covered her eyes but peeked at him through her fingers.
I'm not kidding, but where did this female monster come from in this desolate wilderness?
That's not right either. This is a low-level, ugh, dilapidated world where no one has internal energy. Where would a monster come from? It's clearly a woman.
How did a woman get here? The world isn't open enough for gender equality yet.
I'm not sure, I'll go check it out.
When the woman saw that Yu Ling not only showed no intention of putting on clothes, but was also approaching her step by step with her upper body bare, she hurriedly tried to dodge, but tripped over the uneven ground.
She shouted very loudly, her voice trembling with tears:
"Don't come any closer! Ahhhhhh!!!"
Yu Ling, who had come over to check the person's identity, was forced to cover her ears.
It's so noisy!
Isn't this a world without internal energy? What kind of sonic attack is this? His mind was about to explode!
