Chapter 90 Collection
Jian Mo chatted with the giant wolf and fell asleep on his back.
When he woke up again, it was already daybreak.
Jian Mo nudged him: "Why didn't you call me?"
The giant wolf: "Anyway, there's nothing to do. Let's sleep a little longer so that we don't get sleepy during the day."
Jian Mo yawned: "I shouldn't feel sleepy while working. Have you finished the patrol?"
The giant wolf nodded: "It's already been handed over."
Jian Mo's mind "ding" sounded, and he rushed forward to hug him, and said with shining eyes: "Then can we go pick mushrooms?"
The giant wolf's voice was smiling: "You can also take a shower."
Jian Mo: "Then let's go, let's hurry up."
They went to say hello to Yun and Qing Kuang, took their toiletries, and went out to pick mushrooms and wash up.
It was not yet bright, the fields were gray, and there were a few morning stars in the sky.
The temporary residence was quiet, most people hadn't gotten up yet, and there was no smoke from cooking.
They had plenty of time for activities.
The giant wolf took Jian Mo to pick mushrooms first.
He had already noted the location yesterday, and today he went straight to the destination.
They ran all the way on the grassland, and a group of beasts on the road were startled and fled away in fear.
The giant wolf didn't even look at these fleeing prey, and only took Jian Mo to the place where mushrooms grew.
Jian Mo hugged his neck tightly and kept looking around. Before reaching the place where mushrooms grew, Jian Mo discovered the silhouette of mushrooms.
"Oh my god, is that a mushroom under the tree? Such a big mushroom!"
"Yes, it wasn't that big yesterday."
"Maybe it grew a little bit more at night. Such a big mushroom is not poisonous, and it hasn't been eaten by other animals?"
"Not in time yet?"
"Then let's go and have a look!"
As he spoke, the giant wolf had already run to the front of the mushroom with Jian Mo.
Jian Mo couldn't wait to hold the giant wolf's front legs and slid down, opened his hands and gestured: "Looking at it from such a close distance, the mushroom is even bigger."
The mushroom grew on the side of a tall tree, thicker than Jian Mo's waist, and as high as his chest.
Maybe because it just appeared yesterday, the umbrella of this mushroom has not been fully opened. The brown umbrella and white folds make it look like a mushroom in a fairy tale.
He moved closer to sniff, the mushroom had a very authentic mushroom smell, slightly sweet, slightly hot, with a hint of plant fermentation.
Jian Mo turned around to look at Wu Jiong who had turned back into human form: "Are you sure this mushroom is really edible?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "It's very easy to recognize, its name is Giant Mushroom."
Jian Mo reached out and patted the umbrella lid, guessing that the spores inside had been patted off, then held the stem and said: "I'll pick it."
Wu Jiong: "Pick it."
Jian Mo pulled hard, and with a "pop" sound, the mushroom was pulled off, and a stronger mushroom smell overflowed.
He looked down at the fleshy cut end and said, "Come to think of it, we also have a plant where it grows as fast as mushrooms. It's called bamboo shoots and can grow to a height of one person overnight. The cut end of a bamboo shoot is also a bit like a mushroom, white in color, with a sweet scent."
Wu Jiong: "Let's look for it later and see if we can find it."
Jian Mo sighed: "It may be a bit difficult. Let's not talk about this. Let's see if there are any other mushrooms?"
Wu Jiong: "No, I saw it yesterday. There was only one intact giant mushroom nearby."
Jian Mo carried the mushroom and looked around the area without giving up. He found that there were no other mushrooms, so he said, "Let's go take a shower first, and then carry the giant mushroom back to the temporary camp for breakfast."
Wu Jiong changed back into beast form and took Jian Mo to the shower area.
They specifically found a shallow section of the river upstream. The giant wolf patrolled up and down, roared loudly, scared off potential enemies, and then took Jian Mo down.
The water was a little cold in the morning, but compared to the sticky feeling, this little coldness was nothing.
Jian Mo applied soap and rubbed from head to toe, washing very comfortably.
While washing his hair, Wu Jiong looked around with his eyes.
Seeing his alert face, Jian Mo laughed and attacked his strong abdominal muscles with his soapy hands, which disrupted his breathing and made his abdominal muscles subconsciously tense. Jian
Mo laughed.
Wu Jiong narrowed his eyes slightly and his eyes became dangerous.
Jian Mo raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong. We have to get back to the camp soon. Don't mess around. It's too late."
It was indeed too late. Wu Jiong took a few deep breaths and helplessly covered his head with his big palm: "Wash well."
Jian Mo: "Wash, wash, rinse immediately."
Jian Mo rubbed a few more times, and then lay down in the water, letting the running water take away the foam on his head and body.
When he got up again, Jian Mo suddenly saw some wild birds pacing back and forth on the shore, looking very leisurely.
Unlike ordinary birds, the bird had bare wings, like a human wearing a thick fur coat, with only a pair of arms exposed and walking on the waist, which looked very unique.
Jian Mo suddenly had an idea. He sat up in the water and patted Wu Jiong's leg: "Look! There are a few birds over there. Are they the flesh-winged birds you mentioned?"
Wu Jiong looked in the direction he pointed and quickly gave a positive answer: "Yes."
Jian Mo: "Then we are lucky to find food today. Do they run fast? Can we catch them?"
Wu Jiong: "They run very fast, but we can catch them. Wait for me."
Wu Jiong walked a few steps to the side and turned into a giant wolf, running towards the shore.
He lowered his body to run, and his huge body was surprisingly light when running. When he ran very close, the flesh-winged birds discovered him and flapped their wings to help them run, "ga ga" and scurrying around.
This seemingly ordinary bird was surprisingly agile when scurrying.
The giant wolf was too big and missed the target.
Several flesh-winged birds flew directly to the river. Jian Mo, who was standing in the river, jumped up and subconsciously grabbed two flesh-winged birds, one in each hand, and threw them into the river.
Jian Mo was stunned. How could he be so good today? !
The two flesh-winged birds flapped their wings desperately in his hands, but it was useless.
The giant wolf quickly brought the other two flesh-winged birds over and said vaguely, "Well done."
Jian Mo held the two flesh-winged birds tightly: "I didn't expect to catch them today. Quick, quick, help me catch them, they keep pecking at me."
The giant wolf bit off the necks of the two flesh-winged birds without hesitation, turned back into human form, and broke the necks of the other two flesh-winged birds.
They happened to be by the river, so they cleaned the four fleshy-winged birds directly in the river.
After that, they took a shower and then rushed back to the temporary camp.
They were very fast and it didn't take them much time. When they got back, the people in the camp had just started cooking.
Seeing them coming back with fleshy-winged birds and mushrooms, Qing Kuang shouted loudly: "Your harvest is good!"
Jian Mo smiled: "We are lucky today. What do you want for breakfast? How about I cook some fleshy-winged bird mushroom soup?"
He was willing to help, so naturally everyone had no objection, and they all made way for him to come.
Jian Mo specifically asked the people around him to fill up the two large pots. After the water boiled, he removed most of the firewood and put the cleaned broilers in the two large pots respectively, and slowly cooked them in the boiling water.
The broilers cooked in this way will be particularly tender and smooth, and taste better than the broilers cooked by the general stewing method.
They were making breakfast here, and the others were preparing for hunting.
Today's hunting requires more ropes, backpacks, bags, etc. Various shell knives, stone knives and metal knives also need to be sharpened. Medicinal powders, ointments and the like must be brought in case of emergency.
Jian Mo quickly cooked the four broilers. He stabbed the thickest thigh of the broiler with a knife. If no blood came out, it was cooked.
He picked up the four broodbirds, while Qing Kuang and others used metal knives that had been heated by fire to cut the broodbirds into pieces, and then placed them on the large leaves that had been laid out, so that they could be easily shared later.
The two large pots of bird soup were still in the pots, and Jian Mo asked someone to light the
fire. When the bird soup boiled again, the sliced mushrooms were poured in, and sprinkled with some salt and pepper powder, and the mushroom bird soup was ready. Jian Mo invited everyone to have breakfast.
The others also brought up the meat stew that they had made before. There were two dishes and one soup this morning, not many varieties, but not too much, and everyone was very satisfied.
Jiujiu also got a portion, but compared to the cooked food, it had to eat more grass.
Jian Mo evenly distributed some of his food to it, and Jiujiu was so happy that he kept rubbing against Jian Mo.
When the others saw it, they started feeding it. It rubbed against whoever's food it got, which was very smart and made everyone laugh.
After breakfast, the beastmen left some people to patrol the area temporarily, while the others went hunting.
The Asian beastmen processed the meat that was pickled yesterday.
The meat had been pickled for a whole night, and under the effect of salt powder and spice powder, a lot of blood seeped out. After the meat was dehydrated, the texture was very solid and heavy.
The Asian beastmen used knives to cut the meat into smaller strips and put them on the grass to dry.
Under the strong sunlight, the meat should be ready after two days of drying.
The Asian beastmen were very efficient and finished processing the meat in a short time.
Everyone was out and about, and they didn't eat lunch, nor did they have to make lunch, so there was a lot of free time left.
Someone saw this situation and suggested, "How about we go out and collect? It's so hard to come to the Great Plains, it would be a waste if we don't go out to collect."
This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone: "Yes, we can just draw lots to leave a few people here to support, the beastmen may not be able to transport the prey back so quickly."
Drawing lots depends purely on luck, Jian Mo's luck was good, and he drew to go out.
Qing Kuang and Ye Luo's luck was also good, but he didn't mind if Min Dang needed to stay in the temporary camp.
The Asian beastmen were going out, and the few beastmen who stayed behind to patrol sent two out to go out with them, so that they could ensure safety to the greatest extent.
After leaving the camp, everyone decided to walk along the river.
Generally speaking, plants grow more luxuriantly near rivers, and there are more species. Collecting along the river can get the greatest harvest.
Except for Jian Mo, all the beastmen present were very experienced in collecting.
Their guess was not wrong. There are indeed many good plants along the river.
Jian Mo found several large-leaf garlic on the road. The newly grown large-leaf garlic this year is tender and green, and even the bitterness is much less.
He didn't hesitate to dig it up and put it in his backpack.
Everyone also found many fresh wild vegetables, as well as spices such as broad-leaf grass, and soon they had a full harvest.
As they were walking, someone suddenly said, "Is there a green velvet insect flying in front?"
When many people heard the name, they rushed forward excitedly: "Where is it? Why can't we see it?"
The person who just spoke said, "There is a small black dot on the lower right, near the river."
Jian Mo was confused when he heard it. He couldn't see the green velvet insect and didn't know what this insect was used for. Why were everyone so excited?
Everyone rushed forward in a swarm, and he fell behind a beat slower.
Qingkuang reached out and pulled him: "Here."
Jian Mo hurriedly rushed forward and asked in a low voice: "What is the use of the green velvet insect? Why are everyone so excited?"
Qingkuang showed a subtle smile: "It's useless, but their nests are very useful for sub-beastmen or orcs with partners."
Jian Mo understood immediately and touched his nose.
Qing Kuo: "Even if you don't use it yourself, you can get a good price by exchanging it for something else."
The beastman in front has already found the green velvet worm: "Hey, it's still out there looking for food. When will it go back to the nest?"
"I don't know. We have to keep a close eye on it and don't let it run away."
"This kind of insect is hard to keep an eye on. It's small and flies fast. It disappears in the blink of an eye."
Jian Mo still didn't find the bug, but he wondered what the other beastmen said: "Can we stick some fur on the green velvet bug to make it easier for us to find it?"
The other beastmen thought for a while and said: "It seems to be possible! Doctor Jian Mo, you are amazing."
Jian Mo waved his hand quickly: "That is a common method in our place."
The others ignored his modesty and hurriedly looked for fur.
It is really difficult to find fur in the wild.
Everyone thought of something and turned around to look at the beastmen who followed them.
The orcs were horrified: "No way? You want to pluck my hair?"
The sub-beasts: "Just pluck two hairs, don't be so stingy!"
"If it really doesn't work, pluck your two leg hairs, nothing else."
The orcs tried to fight: "Why don't you find Ya Zheng?"
The orc called "Ya Zheng" said slowly: "I am a giant armored beast, plucking my leg hair is useless."
The sub-beasts: "Hurry, hurry, the green velvet worm is about to fly away."
The orc had no choice but to walk away with his head down and turned back into beast form, showing the hair on his two legs.
Jian Mo took a look and found that the beast form of this orc was a red leopard, and the leg hair was indeed long and fluffy enough to be used.
