Chapter 213: Crossing the Wild Land 6
An Yuexi and Wan Ning happened to meet each other, so they walked under a big tree on the side of the road.
Considering that they didn't know how long they would live here, maybe a lifetime, the two exchanged opinions on what needed to be changed.
Neither of them knew the technology for papermaking, so they had to put the plan aside for the time being.
But as for washing clothes, An Yuexi had seen a post about making soap and had an impression of it, so Wan Ning supported her to give it an experiment.
Then there are some things needed for eating and methods of cooking.
Wan Ning thought for a moment and said, "Yuexi, I think we should change the house we live in. It doesn't matter in summer now, but in winter, it's too cold to endure."
An Yuexi nodded: "Indeed, and we don't know how they survive the winter."
"Yeah, do we need to prepare some food for the winter, like we do with pickled bacon?"
When An Yuexi heard Wan Ning's words, she clapped her hands violently.
“You’re right, Ningning, we still need salt, and I don’t know where they get the salt from.
Oh, there are so many things to pay attention to. We are really in a very desolate and backward place, haha."
Wan Ning also held An Yuexi's hand and patted her. An Yuexi's self-mockery was also her nostalgia and helplessness for modern society. They could not go back.
After chatting for a long time with An Yuexi, the two parted ways. An Yuexi couldn't wait to go back and tell the clan leader.
Wan Ning also went to the witch doctor, firstly to express her gratitude, and secondly, she knew a few medicinal herbs and could tell them about them.
The witch doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties. While she was busy, a teenage girl was by her side.
After Wan Ning expressed his purpose, the witch doctor Cao Hua was very happy and immediately grabbed Wan Ning's hand excitedly.
"Are you serious about what you said? Are you willing to contribute the herbs?"
Wan Ning smiled and nodded: "Yes, I happen to know a few of them, and I also know their effects. I will go out and look for them later. It would be best if I can find them."
Caohua was very happy. She had deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she was little. "Okay, okay, let my little girl follow you. She knows the way."
Wan Ning looked at the shy girl beside him and nodded: "Okay."
After talking to the witch doctor Caohua, Wan Ning went home.
Here people still eat two meals a day, morning and evening. There is no such thing as eating three meals a day.
Wan Ning was not used to not having lunch at noon, so she took out the fruit she had picked yesterday, washed it with water, and brought it into the house to eat.
After eating, I felt sleepy again, "Okay, the god of sleep is calling me."
So Wan Ning took a nap in bed for a while, and woke up feeling refreshed.
Seeing Feng's dirty clothes in the house and his own clothes, Wan Ning thought about it and decided to take the wooden basin and mallet to the river.
"Hey, Feng's wife is here."
When she met other women washing clothes by the river, Wan Ning also greeted them with a smile: "Hey, you're here."
Then choose a place and start squatting. First rinse the clothes with river water, then take them to the smooth and flat stone and start beating them.
Wan Ning had never tried this before, but now that she had gotten the hang of it, she felt that washing clothes this way was quite fun, although it did require a lot of effort on her part.
During this time, there were also young girls by the river. They would glance at Wan Ning from time to time, and then whisper something to their friends around them.
Finally, two people came to Wan Ning's side and asked, "Hey, why are you so white?"
Wan Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard their questions, and then smiled.
"Really? I didn't pay attention to it before..."
It was the best thing to be able to chat while working. When Wan Ning came back from washing the clothes, the wind had also returned.
The two of them worked together to cook.
The staple food is still meat. As long as the prey is newly hunted, the tribe will distribute it on the same day. So everyone does this, the men go out hunting, and the women stay to do other work.
I always blanch the fish before cooking, so there won't be that much oil. Another reason is that it's very hot now, so it's more refreshing to eat it lightly.
Afterwards, Wan Ning made a vegetable soup and added some fresh fruits to go with it, which made for a pretty good meal.
After dinner, Wan Ning felt sticky and wanted to take a shower.
Feng smiled this time. He pulled Wan Ning along and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to a nice place."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Wan Ning followed him out of curiosity.
At last they came to a river, but a branch, shaded by large rocks.
At this time, the moon was hanging high above our heads, and the bright moonlight fell on the river. The breeze blew from time to time, creating waves.
"It's nice here, but why are we here?"
Feng smiled at Wan Ning: "Of course it's a bath."
Wan Ning was a little surprised and pointed at the river: "You mean here, taking a bath in the open air?"
Feng was the first to enter the water and swam for a while. His expression was extremely happy, and Wan Ning could tell he was very happy just by looking at him.
"The water is warm now, why don't you try it?"
Wan Ning immediately shook his head: "But I can't swim."
Hearing Wan Ning's words, Feng immediately swam to the river and held out his hand to her: "Don't be afraid, I will teach you."
But Wan Ning was still afraid. However, there was someone protecting her, so she could still try going into the water. The most important thing was that she wanted to take a bath.
So Wan Ning tentatively went into the water, but as soon as she entered, she immediately hugged Feng and held on tightly without letting go.
"Be good, don't be afraid, let me go and I will teach you."
Wan Ning shook his head: "No, I'm very scared now."
Feng was at a loss, so he had to hold Wan Ning and swim a few laps in the water, and finally put Wan Ning on a big rock in the water.
Now it’s safe, so Wan Ning sat leisurely on the rock, soaking his legs and feet in the water and playing with them.
Feng kept staring at Wan Ning. At this moment, Wan Ning looked like a holy fairy, with soft light shining on her flawless and exquisite body.
The beauty is so captivating that Feng can't bear to take his eyes away for a moment.
Wan Ning turned around and noticed his dazed look, so she scooped up a handful of water and sprinkled it over, just falling on Feng's body.
Feng laughed and scooped up some water and poured it over there. The water flowed directly down along the curves.
Drop by drop, it flowed into the wind's heart and into his eyes.
Slowly moving towards Wan Ning, Feng protected the back of Wan Ning's head with one hand and stroked her snow-like shoulders with the other.
In this way, the two of them slowly approached each other and kissed each other.
Then Wan Ning lay down on the big rock with Feng's clothes underneath him.
Two young men and women kissed each other passionately in the open water under the moonlight.
Finally, Feng took Wan Ning into the water again. Wan Ning was afraid to step on the bottom of the water, so Feng put her on a rock.
As the breeze blows, ripples appear on the water surface...as harmonious and rhythmic as water.
The man's low and suppressed voice, the woman's charming and seductive voice.
On this summer night by the river, extending deep into the night.
