It's not winter yet; snow is falling everywhere, and there are hungry, wandering orcs.
The autumn forest is easy to walk in; in many places, the leaves have fallen, the view is very open, and there are no wild animals attacking.
What should have been a month's journey was compressed into twenty days.
Yunmengze is not as lively as it is in winter, but it is still bustling with people and a thriving commercial area.
This time, they didn't need to camp outside; they went directly into the market and chose a spacious place to set up camp.
Luo Bai took out the animal skin tent he had prepared beforehand, found some tree trunks, and quickly set up the animal skin tent.
Ying Yao: "Everyone, get some rest tonight. We'll take turns keeping watch and get up early tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt a sense of relief.
After traveling all this way, they were exhausted.
All the luggage was placed in a large tent, which was guarded by orcs from both tribes to ensure there were no problems.
Luo Bai led Qingshan and the others to hunt in the nearby mountains. The autumn prey were all plump and strong, and they soon returned with a full load.
Mu Youran and Xiaomei were checking all the pottery in the warehouse to see if there was any damage.
Otherwise, leaving this to be done tomorrow will waste time.
Xiaomei was very excited when she saw the huge pile of things.
"You Ran, if we sell these, we'll have money!"
"Yes, and I'll also buy some linen to take back with me."
Mu Youran was also counting on her fingers how much she could earn.
"You Ran, dinner's ready!"
Luo Bai walked in carrying a large piece of meat and handed it to her.
Mu Youran took the roasted meat and went outside to eat with them around the fire.
The aroma of meat filled her mouth. She had been starving the whole way, but she had to keep going and endure the hunger.
Now that we've finally arrived at our destination, it's time to make sure we have a good meal.
One bite and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat; it's very satisfying.
The next morning, everyone got up very early, before dawn.
After washing up, Mu Youran put on her best animal skin dress, while Huang Yu wore a pink animal skin dress with pearl buttons.
They arranged the pottery they had brought on the ground, categorizing them by type. However, as soon as they laid it out, orcs surrounded them.
Excitedly, he picked up a clay pot and examined it closely: "Are you the Sunset Tribe who sold pottery here last year?"
Mu Youran, Ying Yao, and Luo Bai exchanged a glance. Last year's incident caused quite a stir, and they didn't expect that not only did they remember it, but they were also so happy to come and ask about it.
It seems they had a very good impression of the Sunset Tribe.
Mu Youran immediately smiled: "Yes, it's us. This is our newly produced pottery, and the craftsmanship is even better than before."
She didn't need to say anything; the orc immediately noticed that the pottery was exquisitely crafted and had some beautiful lines on it.
"Same as last year, twenty seashells each, plus a free ceramic cup?"
He had heard from others before that the pottery of the Sunset Tribe was not only particularly useful, but also exceptionally beautiful, and would make one look very prestigious when displayed at home.
More importantly, it is also particularly sturdy, unlike the pottery from the Tao tribe, which would explode after being fired for a short time.
It's a pity he missed it last time, but unexpectedly, he ran into it today.
It's still the same color, just more rounded and looks better.
Mu Youran smiled and shook her head, then took out a bar of soap that she had prepared beside her: "This soap is much better than the ceramic cup."
A huge pile of red pottery covered the ground, and soon the area was surrounded by orcs looking at the human brain.
Upon hearing that it was the Sunset Tribe, the same tribe that had given the Tao Tribe a hard time last year, they immediately became interested.
I was puzzled as I looked at the small white object in her hand, which was no bigger than the palm of my hand.
"What is this thing? How can it be better than a ceramic cup?"
The orc holding the earthenware pot took the item from You Ran's hand, curiously squeezed it, and then smelled it.
"It's a bit soft and has a grassy smell. Is this edible?"
He was about to put it in his mouth when Ying Yao, who was standing next to him, stopped him.
"Brother, this isn't for eating, it's for bathing, washing hands and face, and cleaning animal hides!"
Upon hearing that it was for washing things, the surrounding orcs all showed expressions of disinterest.
They can usually clean it with water and wood ash, so what's the point of this stuff?
"It would be better to give them a ceramic cup instead."
"That's right, if you still give us ceramic cups as gifts, we'll buy some right now."
"Yes, even if we don't send a ceramic cup, a ceramic bowl would be fine too."
Mu Youran knew that no one had ever seen this soap before, so naturally they didn't know its benefits.
He took out a dirty animal hide that he had prepared the night before.
“Look how dirty this animal hide is, I can wash it back to its original color.”
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"How could that be? There are so many oil stains on it, it's all filthy."
"Yes, even a whole basket of wood ash wouldn't be enough to clean such animal hides."
Mu Youran: "Luo Bai, bring the water up."
Luo Bai quickly brought up the two large basins of water that had been prepared nearby.
Mu Youran threw the dirty animal hide into the basin to wet it, then applied soap, and soon dense bubbles appeared. The snow-white bubbles turned black in the blink of an eye.
After rubbing it back and forth like this, then rinsing it in water, and taking it out again.
Mu Youran smiled and said, "See? How about that!"
"This...this animal hide is actually white!"
Everyone stared in astonishment at the snow-white animal hide in Mu Youran's hand. Just moments ago it had been filthy, but in the blink of an eye, it was as clean as new.
