Shuiling sat up and asked, "What kind of food are there now?"

The wizard replied: "Grass roots, animal meat, and some fish."

"Hmm..." Shui Ling nodded, that's all. They probably couldn't find any edible plants.

Now there is no need to worry about building a house. The next step is to teach them about plants, even by chewing bark.

The great witch went to the stove and opened the wooden lid on the clay pot, and steam came out from inside.

Shui Ling smelled the smell of meat, "Is this broth?"

The great witch nodded, "Well, a lone wolf came here yesterday and they beat it. Although it doesn't have much meat, it is still food."

Shui Ling took out the bowl he brought from the mountain from his backpack and said, "Try it, I guess it won't taste good."

Da Wu looked at him sideways, "You are someone who has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas. The most delicious thing I have ever eaten here is roasted wild boar. Roast the meat until it is dripping with oil. Cut off a piece and rub it in the salt bowl before eating. It is delicious."

Shui Ling smiled, yes, it would be delicious to have salty barbecue at this time.

She asked: "When I have time, I will go to the mountains to have a look. It is impossible for people there not to eat salt. There must be salt mines or methods of making salt."

Da Wu nodded, "Well, we don't have much salt reserves. It's cold now, so the food can be preserved easily, but when the weather gets hot, we can only watch the food rot."

Shui Ling lowered her head and took a sip of the soup. It smelled slightly of salt, meat and earthy smell. She was too embarrassed to spit it out, so she drank it as hot water.

Xianjiu and Ruan Ling drank happily, but Shui Ling suspected that they had never eaten anything delicious.

A few people chatted for a while and then went to sleep.

I was woken up early the next morning, and the construction of a house started again in full swing outside.

Shui Ling washed up briefly and walked out of the house to see everyone digging dirt and carrying wood.

The people here have a clear division of labor, and they will unconditionally obey what Ah Beast says, which shows that Ah Beast is now like a king.

Shui Ling curiously asked the great witch who followed him out, "Don't the patriarchs care about anything?"

The great witch said: "We are all old men, so what do we care? Now we need young people to work hard."

Shui Ling nodded, this was quite right, but these clan leaders were really smart to realize this.

The great witch looked at Shui Ling, "What are you going to do?"

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows, thinking she suspected something wrong.

"What I don't want to do is to look for some edible plants now before it snows too much."

"If you keep eating meat, your stomach and intestines will not be able to bear it, and you will also be lacking in vitamins."

The great witch sighed, "The vitamins in our time were only a small pill, so whatever is missing can be supplemented."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "Your era is different from mine, and different from them, but we are in this era, so we use contemporary methods to solve the problem."

The great witch chuckled, "You're right."

Shui Ling didn't want to waste any time chatting, so he picked up the basket when he saw it in the wizard's yard."

Ruan Ling and Xian Jiu were a little nervous and looked at Shui Ling eagerly.

Shui Ling smiled and said, "Follow me if you're not tired."

"Okay!" The two of them immediately followed, with Xianjiu still carrying the cocoon on his back.

Shui Ling hesitated and asked, "Will it freeze the baby?"

Xianjiu shook his head, "No, I can feel it."

"Okay." As long as it doesn't freeze, Shuiling nodded with confidence.

She was going to go to the forest on the right front, which looked lush and green, and was far away from the mountains over there.

The three of them went out without eating anything.

When Deng arrived in the woods, Shui Ling was surprised to find that there was a larch tree, but there were few green leaves hanging on it, and there were thick pine needles under the thin snow on the ground.

She whittled a stick with a dagger and poked it through the fallen leaves.

Xianjiu asked curiously: "What are you looking for?"

Shui Ling smiled and said, "I'll look for any pits, otherwise I'll get burned if I fall."

"Huh?" Xianjiu and Ruan Ling looked at each other. Neither of them understood how it was possible to get burned in such a cold weather.

Shui Ling said: "Here are pine needles mixed with other leaves. If there are deep pits, the rotting leaves will release heat."

"We can't see anything on the surface, but it's actually burning at the bottom of the pit."

The two of them nodded in realization, they still understood the truth.

Shui Ling poked the ground and looked up, wondering if there were any pine cones that had survived.

Finally, she stopped when she reached a big tree. She said excitedly: "Wait for me, I'll go up and have a look."

Ruan Ling looked up and saw a large tree hole with a smooth entrance. Animals should often come in and out.

She said: "Be careful, there may be animals."

Shui Ling nodded, put down the basket and climbed up.

When she reached the big tree branch, she looked inside and poked with the branch, but there was no movement inside.

She simply reached in and touched it, and after a while she grabbed a handful of dried mushrooms, dried fruits, and a lot of pine nuts.

"This is a squirrel's nest, but there are no squirrels in it."

Ruan Ling said: "You throw it, I will catch it."

She picked up the basket and prepared to pick up the things.

Shui Ling suddenly remembered the ancient casual game he had played, which involved twenty squirrels catching mushrooms and pine nuts.

She shouted: "Get ready, I'm throwing it."

Shui Ling threw them down one by one, but he didn't expect that he could fill a basket with a diameter of about sixty to three inches high.

Xianjiu picked up a dried fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. After taking a bite, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It's delicious, sour and sweet."

Just as Shui Ling was about to come down, he looked up and saw a bird's nest above, so he continued climbing.

When I went up there, I saw a two-section eggshell in the bird's nest, and three cracked eggs that had not hatched.

She picked up an egg. The egg was very light and the bird inside had rotted away.

"Did the mother bird leave with a baby bird?"

Shui Ling didn't find anything good. When he was about to go down, he saw a piece of dirt next to the bird's nest. After careful examination, he found that it was the trace of decay after the death of the chicks.

"No way? Mother bird just ran away?"

Shui Ling frowned, feeling very puzzled. She glanced at the mountains in the distance and suddenly became enlightened.

There must be something wrong with the magnetic field there, causing sensitive animals to migrate.

In that case... it means that all the nests in the woods are ownerless, and you can dig them out at will.

She immediately got down from the tree and said: "All the animals here have escaped. We can find more squirrel nests. There will be food in their nests."

"Okay." Ruan Ling nodded.

Xianjiu asked in confusion: "Why are you running?"

Shui Ling felt that they should know something, so she asked: "Have you ever used magnetic fields to drive away animals on your mountain?"

Xianjiu nodded, "Yes, there are many rats on the mountain, so every year we use sound waves to drive away the rats."

Ruan Ling clapped his hands and said, "I remembered. I remember that the sound volume was not adjusted properly again. Could it be because of this that the animals were driven away?"
