Looking at the beautiful women with their various expressions, Sheng Xia felt very happy and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
La Hua's eyes lit up as she looked at Sheng Xia: "You look so beautiful!"
Sheng Xia felt a sweet warmth in her heart: "You look beautiful too."
The hunting locations were all scouted by the hunting team in advance to ensure there was no danger before allowing the females to come.
Looking out, the lush, intertwined giant trees present a vibrant scene.
The weeds along the road have been mostly cleared away, making walking incredibly smooth.
In the height of summer, I took a deep breath and enjoyed the fresh air of the beast world, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Not long after we walked, we saw several cherry trees, densely covered with enlarged cherries.
They look juicy and plump, and one is about the size of a ping-pong ball.
I picked one in the height of summer, took a bite, and it was indeed a cherry—sweet and sour.
Unfortunately, there were only three trees, and she couldn't move them into her spatial dimension. She could only try to see if she could grow them.
In the height of summer, palm leaves are placed in the baskets, and the picked fruit is carefully put inside.
It wasn't until sunset and the temperature gradually dropped that everyone reluctantly carried their baskets back home.
On the way home, everyone chatted and agreed to come back to pick fruit again tomorrow.
Anyway, I don't have anything to do. I haven't been out for several days because of the smoked meat, and I'm getting really bored.
Except for those who didn't want to get up early, everyone agreed to continue tomorrow.
Upon returning to the tribe, they lined up in the square to hand over their supplies and wait for their food to be distributed.
This was Shengxia's first time participating, and she opened her eyes wide with curiosity.
The person in charge of recording was an elderly female with white hair, who kindly organized the items handed over by the females, while the witch doctor was responsible for distributing them.
Soon it was Shengxia's turn. The witch doctor was taken aback when he saw Shengxia, then gave her a gentle smile: "Shengxia, here, this is yours."
In the height of summer, Sheng Xia took the palm leaf and saw seven or eight bunches of cherries, three palm-sized pieces of lean meat, one palm-sized piece of fatty meat, and a small piece of animal hide.
She smiled broadly and said, "Thank you."
These things are enough to eat for a whole day, so participating in the picking is very cost-effective.
The next morning.
After lunch, Shengxia went to the meeting point.
"In the height of summer, here~"
After yesterday's picking activity, the females became much more affectionate towards her.
Everyone surrounded Shengxia, chattering about Qingmu.
“Look at Aoki, he looks so majestic. He’s been an adult for a long time, but he still hasn’t found a mate.” Crescent Moon’s eyes shone as she stared at the group of people who were protecting the harvest team today.
“That’s a tribal warrior, a lion in beast form. If he could be my mate, I’d be willing to have him as my doctor!” Sifu said excitedly.
Lava said softly, "Me too, me too! I heard the lion one is huge, and it's great for communicating with it~"
They got so emotional that their friendship was temporarily broken because of a eligible bachelor.
Seph pouted: "He would never be interested in you. You're so skinny you don't look like you could have children."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lahua was very angry. She had consulted a witch doctor who said she was very strong and could have at least four babies.
Crescent Moon, who was also rather thin, retorted, "Hmph, maybe he likes girls like us."
Looking at Aoki in the midsummer heat, one could see his perfect eight-pack abs and his bronze skin, which looked exceptionally sexy in the sunlight.
Her long, slender legs look strong and give her excellent jumping ability.
With a bright, sunny face and a smile that's both innocent and wild, he's the epitome of a sunny, athletic student—no wonder he's so popular.
"Let's go."
At a command, the females stopped talking and followed the main group.
It's in the same direction as yesterday, but not the same place, because all the fruit on those three trees yesterday has been picked clean.
Looking at the lush greenery of flowers, plants, and trees always brings a sense of peace.
It rained lightly last night, so the roads are a bit difficult to walk on today. Overnight, a lot of mushrooms have sprouted in the woods.
In the height of summer, her eyes lit up. She had already finished eating the Ganoderma lucidum she had picked last time, and there was no more stock in her space.
She stared at the ground, trying to see if there were any matsutake mushrooms; those were best when stir-fried with eggs.
The mushrooms were white and colorful, but unfortunately, none of them were edible after looking for a long time.
Suddenly, a grayish-green mushroom came into view—it was a green-headed mushroom!
A giant green-headed mushroom! One is as big as a palm.
In the height of summer, her eyes lit up, and she squatted down beside him, ready to reach out.
"Slap!" My hand was slapped, and it instantly turned red.
She was furious, and when she looked up, she met Aoki's clear, slightly worried eyes: "This can't be eaten, it smells terrible and is poisonous!"
Crescent Moon subtly withdrew her hand, looking slightly embarrassed as she lowered her head; she had also wanted to pick it earlier.
In the sweltering summer heat, I felt like rolling my eyes, but they meant well.
She explained helplessly, "It's edible, not poisonous, and tastes delicious."
Crescent-shaped eyebrows curved: "Really?"
In the height of summer, looking around, there's nothing to eat besides green-headed mushrooms; it would be a shame to miss such a large patch.
"Okay, everyone pick them. I'll cook them for you. They're amazing when stir-fried with meat after being cleaned."
Seeing the bewildered faces of the crowd, and realizing that no one knew what stir-frying was, Sheng Xia didn't explain.
It's not that she doesn't want to teach, but cooking is too troublesome and requires too many seasonings. It's not something she can explain in a short time. She'd rather demonstrate it to them directly after returning to the tribe.
Shengxia said with a smile, "Pick more, you'll love the taste."
Upon hearing that it was edible, the females' eyes lit up, and they began to pick it.
The male was a little skeptical, but then he thought that if oat grass could be made into delicious food in the middle of summer, this should be possible too, right?
Everyone knows that Shengxia is skilled at cooking and has new ingredients, so they are all like they've been injected with chicken blood, and a large number of green-headed mushrooms are quickly put into their baskets.
Looking at their innocent smiles, Sheng Xia thought to herself that the people of the beast world were indeed simple-minded.
It had just rained, and the fallen leaves were sticky. After picking enough mushrooms in the height of summer, he shook his hands and, out of boredom, poked the ground in front of him with a stick.
Suddenly, a patch of green appeared beneath the fallen leaves. In the height of summer, a stick was used to part the leaves and reveal the whole thing.
It was about the size of a fist, covered in green hair, and looked like a chestnut, but even chestnuts aren't that big.
When Shengxia realized this was the world of beasts, her eyes lit up. She carefully peeled back the outer skin along the crack, and sure enough, there were several round chestnuts inside!
Aoki, who had been watching the summer closely, walked over and asked, "What's this?"
"Chestnuts, you can eat them!" Sheng Xia was in a good mood, her voice filled with undisguised joy.
Crescent Moon was resting nearby after picking mushrooms when she heard a voice say that the green fluffy ball was edible, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Looking up in the height of summer, I saw countless chestnuts, their heavy weight bending the branches.
Overjoyed, she looked at Aoki, her bright eyes sparkling with ecstatic light: "Let's pick more, we can eat these during the snow season."
A new food has been discovered that can be eaten during the snowy season. Aoki was completely stunned.
After a long pause, he made a decisive decision: "The females should get out of the way first, and the males should all climb the trees and put this thing away."
In the height of summer, someone spoke quickly and bluntly: "Chestnuts!"
Aoki: "Yes, chestnuts, pick all the chestnuts."
