Chapter 5: Don’t Die, Beast Husband
Qiao Su Luo said with a bright smile on her face, "Such a large area, but no one has dug it."
As Qiao Suluo spoke, she went forward and cut off the konjac seedlings on top, leaving the roots underneath for easier digging.
When it is dug out, it turns out to be a huge konjac.
"It's big enough. I can make konjac tofu when I get home. I can also make konjac cakes with it. But to make konjac cakes, I need chili peppers or something like that to season it."
You can even make konjac noodles and sell them.
The system said: "The orcs here only think that this is a root, not food. Perhaps they don't know how to process it, thinking that this thing is poisonous."
Qiao Su Luo said, "This is very simple to deal with. Simply burn the ash to create alkaline water and the poison will be removed."
Qiao Su Luo was full of energy and started digging.
"This body is too fat. It makes me tired even if I do a little work."
She urgently needs to lose weight.
"System, the weight loss pills in your mall are too expensive. Can we negotiate? I'll just buy a small amount at a time. Will that make it cheaper?"
"Can."
"Can the detoxification pills be bought this way?"
"Can."
…
At noon, Qiao Su Luo returned home carrying a basket of konjac and cudweed.
When she came back at noon, some orcs who were busy in the fields were carrying hoes home. When they saw Qiao Su Luo, they were so surprised that they almost jumped up.
The female beastmen who were originally walking separately suddenly gathered together and started gossiping.
"This is Qiao Su Luo, am I seeing right?"
"Of course you're not mistaken. She's the only female beast in our tribe that dark and fat."
Every household in their village lives in poverty and often does not have enough to eat. Both male and female animals are thin, and Qiao Su Luo is the only fat one.
"Oh my god, I really thought I was seeing things. The lazy Qiao Su Luo actually has a day to go up the mountain."
Ever since Qiao Su Luo came to their tribe, no one has seen her go out or do any work, but she often goes to the county.
"Did you see what she was carrying in the basket?"
"Isn't it just Artemisia selengensis? But it's strange. Doesn't she claim to be from the capital? She looks down on the wild vegetables here."
"I saw poison roots under the wormwood."
"What, Poison Root? She...she's not trying to poison her beastly husband, is she? Oh my God, how can she be so vicious?"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Everyone gradually became frightened.
Qiao Su Luo had excellent hearing, so she naturally heard the conversation between these people.
Haha, these people love to gossip about other people's affairs when they have nothing to do, and she is the gossip center of this boring country cat tribe.
She even suspected that she had poisoned her beastly husband with konjac.
However, if it were the predecessor, this kind of thing could indeed be done.
…
When Qiao Su Luo returned home, Que Hong Jin had already woken up and was chopping firewood in the yard.
At this time during the day, Qiao Su Luo could see Que Hongjin's appearance more clearly. His eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a painting, and his temperament was as gentle as jade. He was three parts jade and seven parts fairy.
It was noon now, and the sun was shining brightly on him. The ends of his black, satiny hair seemed to emit strands of emerald luster, the color of peacock feathers, breathtakingly beautiful.
It’s just that gentle people may seem very friendly, but in fact they have a cold feeling that keeps others at a distance.
Qiao Su Luo didn't know what to say to him and just walked past him and went into the kitchen.
At this time, the system kept reminding: "Host, strategy, strategy, don't waste any opportunity."
"Look, his wings are broken, and his shoulder blade hurts every time he moves, but he still chops wood every day. Now is a good opportunity for the host to show some concern for him."
Qiao Su Luo didn't want to say it, feeling very embarrassed, but without the strategy, there would be no progress in the task bar.
If they all turned evil quickly, they might have stabbed her to death with one knife.
Qiao Su Luo paused, turned around, waved at Que Hong Jin, and said stiffly, "You're awake."
Que Hongjin paused in chopping wood, and his picturesque eyebrows fell on her, meeting her clear and lively eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Today she is not as arrogant and domineering as before. She looks much calmer and free of all that hostility.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that she seemed to have lost some weight, and she was also very neat, not like before.
Thinking about last night and how his external injuries had improved a lot, his eyes seemed to be stained with a thick, dark ink color, with a faint smile. He seemed gentle and easy-going, but in fact he was wary and sharp.
"Yeah, I'm awake."
Qiao Su Luo bravely asked again, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
He looked at Qiao Su Luo with a half-smile, and said gently and elegantly, "My wife treated my injuries last night, and I feel much better now."
If it were according to her previous habits, she would abuse him twice as much if he felt better.
And she had never cared about him before, not even a false concern.
She is really different today.
Qiao Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Well, the firewood we chopped is enough for today. You should take a break first and don't tire yourself out."
Que Hongjin didn't stop moving his hands. "My wife, you're joking. If you chop more firewood, you can sell it in the county. This bundle can be sold for five cents."
"Five coins can buy a pound of mixed grain noodles."
Qiao Su Luo's hands holding the cleaver trembled. Have they fallen to the point of having to make a living by selling firewood?
However, due to their injuries, they cannot go into the mountains to hunt. The wild beasts in the mountains are quite powerful and there are many ferocious beasts.
They are now in such a disabled state that if they encounter a wild beast, they probably won't be able to fight back before being swallowed up.
Qiao Su Luo forced a smile and tried to lighten the mood, "Well, I got some food, so you won't be hungry."
As she spoke, Qiao Su Luo walked to the side and put down the things in the backpack.
She first cleaned the Artemisia selengensis and shiitake mushrooms. It takes a long time to make konjac, so she would wait until the afternoon to make it.
She started making the outer skin of the green rice dumpling with glutinous rice flour and artemisia selengensis bought from the space mall, and then used shiitake mushrooms as the filling.
After it’s done, wrap it up and steam it.
Thanks to the konjacs on the mountain, and the space mall also collected them, I got some more points.
Unfortunately, konjac points are cheap, only one point per pound, but fortunately there are plenty of them.
So she also got a small diet pill to help her lose some fat.
Qiao Su Luo also saw in the kitchen that the morning meal had been eaten, which meant that the two of them had eaten.
After cooking, Qiao Suluo wondered why Bai Qianluo was not at home.
At this moment, a voice came from the door, "Master Que, Master Bai accidentally fell into the river while washing clothes. He was dead when he was rescued. What a sin! He's gone just like that."
No one dared to call out Qiao Su Luo, as they knew her personality and knew she would definitely not care about the life or death of her beastly husband.
Everyone can only call him Master Que. In the eyes of the orcs in the cat village, Master Que is the most gentle and easy-going.
"What?"
The axe in Que Hongjin's hand fell to the ground. He didn't care about anything else and quickly went to the river.
Qiao Su Luo's expression also changed, and she ran towards the river.
Please don't die.
