Song Xu pushed a big stone back. One side of the stone was concave, like a natural water tank. She used a hardwood stick as a crowbar to push the big stone to the side of the stone cave to store rainwater.
After the summer, there are often sudden heavy rains with abundant rain. There are small water holes everywhere in the forest. Song Xu has been looking for a container that can store water recently.
She tried to make a stone bowl, but it was difficult to find tools harder than stone, and the progress of chiseling stone bowls was slow. Therefore, the stone bowl she usually used was the one she found in the ebony cave, which she used for both boiling soup and boiling water.
Song Xu, who did not succeed in making a stone bowl, made rapid progress in making wooden bowls. She has already carved out a three-piece set of wooden bowls, wooden basins, and small wooden barrels. It's just that it's a bit ugly, not very round, and has prickly texture.
In addition, she also found some fruit shells, some as big as half a head, which she dug out from the pile of rotten leaves. There were some cracks on the light yellow shell. Unfortunately, the shell was too thin to burn, so it could only be used as a scoop or a cup.
It should be last year's fruit shell. Song Xu climbed up the tree to see that the crown of this tree was heavy with fruits, which were green, and there were flowers that had not completely fallen at the bottom of the fruit.
She tasted a fruit, and the sour and bitter taste made her hair stand up. She couldn't take a second bite, so she had to throw away the moldy green fruit with regret.
Make a mark around the tree and leave a mark. You can't eat it now. Try it when it's ripe. Then you can collect more fruit shells to pack things.
Song Xu didn't have a collecting habit before, because she had everything she needed, but now, influenced by the squirrel beast form, she has become particularly fond of collecting all kinds of things.
Also because of the influence of the beast form, her taste has also changed greatly. She prefers to eat fruit leaves and plant seeds. She doesn't like meat as much as before... Of course, it's also because simple meat is too unpalatable, and it can't compare to the modern sweet and sour spare ribs and braised pork with various seasonings.
In the absence of seasoning, meat can only be roasted and boiled. Most animal meat has an indelible fishy smell, and some are bitter. The meat is dry and woody, so only fish and eggs are relatively delicious.
Song Xu spends most of her day running outside. She likes to combine work and play: when she gets water, she plays with the stones first, and then she finds the big stone that looks like a water tank.
She collects vines to use as ropes, and then puts the ropes aside. She first makes a swing with the thick vines.
There are so many vines in the forest, and each one is extremely tough. Even if you use an animal tooth knife to cut it, it takes a while to sharpen it. Most of the vines are entangled around the trunk and crown of the tree, and the other part hangs in the air like a hanging spider web.
She weaved several vines together, tied a knot at the bottom, and made a big swing. Sitting on it and swinging, she can even swing to the crown of the tree, which is more exciting than the roller coaster in the amusement park.
The swing started to swing, and the whole area echoed with her excited screams.
Wumu, who was not far away, was frightened by her at first, but soon he got used to her screaming while swinging on the vines in the forest, just like he was used to her strange behaviors in the cave before. Only occasionally would he go to take a look nearby.
Wumu couldn't understand many of Song Xu's behaviors, so even though she was very weak, he would still observe her cautiously from a distance like a little animal.
Song Xu would suddenly start playing while she was looking for food.
She liked to find food by the water, where it was not completely blocked by the big trees and the sunlight could pour down without restraint. With sufficient temperature, sunlight and water, the grass around the water shrubs grew from waist-high dwarfs to adult-sized giants in just a few days.
Song Xu searched for grass stems in these weeds. He peeled off the outer green leaves of the finger-thick grass stems, and the tender white part inside was sweet. It was juicy in this season and was a delicious snack. There
were also a large number of wild flowers growing in the unremarkable weeds. The golden wild flowers attracted countless busy bees. Pick a wild flower and taste it. It tastes a bit like wild chrysanthemum, bitter. Chew it for a while longer, and the nectar deep in the pistil is squeezed out and passed to the tongue, with a hint of sweetness.
Song Xu was looking for food in the bushes, and she picked up a lot of wild grass and flowers. She was weaving a wild grass and flower hat to block the sun.
The bushes rustled as she stepped on them, and the song she hummed could be heard from deep in the grass. She was not the only one singing here, there were also some insects in the bushes and on the nearby trees. Compared to Song Xu's humming, these insects were chirping so loudly that it was heartbreaking.
Summer insects were the noisiest.
Song Xu chewed the grass stems in her mouth and put the unfinished flower hat on her head. Unfortunately, she had no mirror to look at it, so she took it off and continued to weave wild flowers.
"La la la... la la... hum hum hum... hum..."
After making the heavy straw hat, Song Xu grabbed the hat and ran to the shade of a tree beside the water. Wu Mu was leaning on a big tree on the water like a drunken concubine, entangled with a thick and long snake. He had just finished eating and was resting in beast form.
Song Xu ran over, leaned against the tree trunk and said, "Look, a flower hat!"
Wu Mu did not respond. He basically did not like to move during the rest time after dinner. Song Xu was just like every blind shit shoveler, who wanted to stick to his baby anytime and anywhere. She forcibly pulled the big snake's tail: "Look! Look! Look!"
The big snake originally had its head stuck on a nearby branch. After being disturbed, it moved forward along the trunk, almost swimming to the top of the tree, away from Song Xu.
Song Xu didn't care about that. How could a mere tree stop her? Squirrels are the best at climbing trees!
She jumped onto the trunk, ignoring that the trunk was almost hanging into the water, and came to the big snake's head, took off the flower hat on her head and put it on the snake's head.
"I'm putting on a hat for you, hahahaha!"
The big snake only moved its head, and the hat on its head fell off. Song Xu quickly grabbed it back: "Alas, you can't wear a hat like this, I'll make you a wreath."
Then she ran away again.
The wild flowers in the previous patch of grass had been almost destroyed by her, so she walked to another patch of grass. This place was farther away from the tree where the big snake was resting, because the herbivorous ungulates that were scared away by the big snake's hunting by the water not long ago were slowly walking back and were nibbling the grass here.
Song Xu lived in harmony with them, only occasionally snatching away the beautiful wild flowers that were about to be nibbled by them. She made a big wreath, and this time the wild flowers she used were richer in color than her straw hat, including lavender and sky blue.
In the end, of course, Song Xu forced the wreath to be stuck on the neck of the big snake.
He was in a beastly state, with the wreath stuck to his neck, making a scary-looking big snake look funny and cute. In the orc form, he was a silly beauty wearing a wreath. Because he seemed not used to the wreath around his neck, he did not take it off, but pretended it was not there.
Song Xu had discovered that Sheshe would not resist unless he felt any malice or threat. No matter what he did, he would just stare at him blankly, and would just dodge when he was annoyed.
She used to see snakes in her friends' homes bite people when they were unhappy, but this snake never bites people no matter how big it is. It can be said that its personality is very good. She is weak and aggressive, and she feels very happy every time she sees the snake hissing when it is annoyed and helpless.
Now that the weather is getting hot, the snake doesn't always hide in the cave. After eating, he stays outside to rest for a longer time, and he also spends more time outside to dry off.
He is used to staying near the boulder, but Song Xu likes to go to the farther marsh. She wants the snake to accompany her, so she tries every means to lead him to sleep by the marsh.
The methods she used included but were not limited to nagging in his ear to disturb his sleep, holding his head and dragging him forward, and shouting to him from a distance, "Look, there is a big branch here, come and play!" etc.
The most effective method was that she shouted for help on the way to the water. The louder and more terrified she was, the faster the snake came. His speed was the opposite of his usual laziness, so fast that people could not see the track of his movement.
When she used the help to trick the snake halfway, she would drag it in a lazy way, and finally she could trick the snake to the water's edge.
After doing this many times, the big snake knew what she was doing. The orc with a cool and beautiful upper body twisted his tail, expressionless, staring at her coldly, his eyes were very oppressive, and he spoke slowly:
"You..."
"...bad."
Song Xu listened to his accusation, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Yes, I'm bad, I'm so bad! I'm sorry I'm so bad!"
After a few times, she didn't have to deliberately shout for help to trick people out. She pulled his tail and said that they would go to the water to play together, and Wumu would follow her out. Five or six times out of ten, she was able to get what she wanted.
The rest of the time, Wumu really didn't want to go out, so he hid in the small hole in the stone cave and pretended not to hear Song Xu no matter how he pestered him.
Song Xu felt like she was taming him.
"What's your name? You still won't tell me today?" Song Xu asked, poking the scales on the snake's tail.
The fire in the distance was flickering. She still made a fire every night, but it was hot now, so Song Xu moved farther and farther away from the fire. In the past two days, she simply moved closer to Sheshe.
She couldn't fall asleep too early at night, so she started to torture her roommate.
The questions she asked most often were about everything about Wumu, his name, age, what he liked, and his previous life. In fact, Song Xu had already heard the name from the previous uninvited guests, but she just wanted to hear Sheshe say it herself.
Wumu didn't like to talk, and he had forgotten how to say many things. For a long time, he had no one to talk to, and he had no desire to talk.
After Song Xu appeared, his desire to speak was sometimes very strong, for example, when she disturbed him, he wanted to say something.
Song Xu was amused by his "You are bad" that he had been holding back for a long time, and also realized that he might have too few words and didn't know how to say it, so she lay on his tail and took the initiative to say: "Let me teach you to speak, let's practice speaking!"
A time traveler taught the native beastman language, really one dared to teach, and the other dared to learn.
