My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

The moon is bright, the stars are brilliant, and occasionally there are glowing fireflies flying around...

The night sky without light pollution is so beautiful~ Shi Erye was lying on a chair at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the starry sky.

Ming found a piece of animal skin to cover her. "It's a bit cold at night, you should go back to the cave. It's not good if you catch a cold!"

"No!" The temperature was just right. Why go back? There was no TV or internet. Thinking that I was still childish, I kicked off the animal skin.

Seeing this, Ming covered her up again and stayed beside her, watching with her.

"Ming, look, there are so many stars, so bright!"

"Hmm~bright!" Uh... pitch black...

"Look, that's the Milky Way," he pointed to Ming.

Following Shi Erye's finger, he looked over there, "Well, it does look like a river."

"The bright star on both sides of the river is Altair, and the dim star across the river is Vega. Then I told the big tiger the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl!"

After telling a story, the imagined scene of being moved to tears did not happen. Uh... "Is my story boring?"

"No, Ye's lecture is very good! I like listening to it."

"Then why are you not moved? What a beautiful love?" Shi Erye said excitedly.

"Ye, are you saying that the selfish Cowherd's oppression and exploitation of the Weaver Girl is love?" Ming said disapprovingly.

"Uh... isn't it? That's what the book says!"

"I don't think he loves the Weaver Girl. If he loved her, how could he have the heart to hide her comfortable clothes and make her wear clothes that don't suit her? He himself didn't work hard, and he still had to rely on the female to work hard weaving to make money. He is a live-in beast. What's more hateful is that the Weaver Girl's mother came to save the female and rescue her from the dire straits. He also brought his child and forced the Weaver Girl to meet him."

"Humph! From the beginning to the end, this story is all about a bad-for-nothing beast who relies on the power of others to make money for himself and give birth to a baby for himself. In the end, he even goes to the female's house and asks the female to raise the baby. What a shameless male beast."

Uh... Shi Erye's little man kept rubbing his hands. What should I do? I really want to refute him, but I can't find a suitable reason. What he said makes sense. Hearing what he said, Niulang really looks like a sneaky, soft-living scumbag. On the other hand, look at the beast in his own home. These days, he even insisted on taking over the cooking work. In the name of special times, you need to have a good rest.

Looking at the beast who was still talking nonstop and criticizing the scumbag, Shi Erye's face was dark. There was no need to be so indignant.

"Well, Ming, I wish you weren't a scumbag. Look, I was just lucky...ah...I was just lucky to meet you. Look at me now, wearing fur, pearls, and having more meat than I can eat..."

Ming looked at Yijiu, the fair and tender little female, and was extremely glad that he had met her. He couldn't imagine what would happen if she met a scum like Niulang. When he thought about Ye who had to weave cloth to earn money and support his family, Ming's eyes were full of murderous intent.

He held a large stone in his hand, which turned into powder as soon as he exerted force. He said to Shi Erye, "If anyone dares to bully me, I will crush him into dust!"

"Wow~" Has it reached the stage of crushing bones and scattering ashes? Who dares to mess with you, big man! Others are splitting bricks, you are turning bricks into flour. Even the cowherd and the scalper are no match for the "strong fairy"!

"Haha... I feel relieved with Ming here. Haha..." Anyone would be so moved that he wouldn't dare to move.

Seeing Shi Erye's recognition of him, Ming took the opportunity to express his firm attitude!

"Ye, don't worry. I'm here to protect you. I'll also protect our little female cub. When she grows up, I won't let any scum or bad beasts get close to her. She has to be strong and stand tall..."

"Ah~ah~damn it!" Why did the little female cub have to grow up and leave her parents? The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. The fire that had just been put out was ignited again. "Bang!" The stone next to her was smashed to pieces again.

"Ah~" Aren't they all turned off? Are they all imagining the future?

"Oh my~ calm down, calm down~"

"Hmm~Ye, why do you think the female cubs have to grow up and leave their parents?"

"Hmm?" This is just a minor matter, is it worth racking your brains now? Are you trying to pay off your worries in advance?

Shi Erye thought to himself. He still comforted him, "Oh, there are also ways to have a live-in son-in-law, just like you!"

Ding... Ming's eyes lit up, "That's right! Ye is still smart!" "I must consider him carefully when the time comes. His dowry cannot be less than mine..."

"Okay, okay, let's continue looking at the stars." Shi Erye really didn't want to listen. He was thinking about things that were beyond his control, and his fantasy became more and more boundless. Still wanting a dowry? Why didn't he go to heaven?

Hurry up and interrupt his thoughts and bring him back to the real world! I was just itching to tell a love story, but I didn't expect the story to turn into an accident...

Now I come to my senses and talk about the stars. It would be a shame not to talk about such a beautiful night sky!

"And over there is the Big Dipper! It's the one that looks like a spoon! It's the shape of the tableware you made for holding soup." Afraid that Ming wouldn't be able to find it, Shi Erye described it carefully.

"Oh! I see! It really looks like a spoon."

"Look, those two stars at the mouth of the spoon, they are the planets Tianxuan and Tianshu. The two stars are considered as two points. Connect the two points and draw a straight line from the planet Xuan towards Tianshu, extending outward about 5 times the distance. Isn't there a very bright star there?" Shi Erye pointed to the sky and asked.

Afraid that he couldn't see it, Shi Erye pulled him into his arms, held his head, and pointed it out to him. "Did you see it? The brightest one."

Ming obediently followed the direction she pointed. "Yeah, I saw it, it's real! It's the brightest one around."

"Haha...it's the North Star. The spoon-shaped Big Dipper I just pointed out revolves around it. The North Star is fixed. It is always hanging in the northern sky. If we get lost in the wild, in the dark night, just find it and we can determine the direction." Shi Erye turned into a little teacher and explained patiently to Ming.

"You mean it always points to the north at night!" Ming's curiosity was immediately aroused. "So as long as we find it, we can tell the direction no matter where we are, anytime?"

"Yeah! It's totally fine if there are stars at night." Shi Erye saw Ming was full of interest and continued to popularize the knowledge he knew to him.

"And the changes in the tail of the Big Dipper can also distinguish the four seasons where we are. We have four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter."

"We have some talented people who specialize in studying the stars. Not only the Big Dipper, but also the twenty-eight constellations. Uh... this is a bit profound. I haven't learned it either." Looking at Ming's expectant eyes, Shi Erye scratched her head and said embarrassedly. She didn't want to spoil the fun, but she regretted not having read enough when she needed it, not to mention that she was still a college scumbag. Today, she had used up all the knowledge she learned at her grandma's house.

Surprisingly, the tiger's eyes didn't dim. Ming still looked at her with bright eyes. "Ye is already amazing! This is the first time I feel that the starry sky is so beautiful and colorful! It makes people unable to stop yearning and exploring."

Shi Erye was praised so much that he felt a little embarrassed. How could he be so good with his mediocre level?

"Is there no one here who can predict the future through the stars? A priest?"

At that time, Erye's mind emerged with the scene of me observing the celestial phenomena at night.

"What about the priest here? She doesn't know how to do it?" Shi Erye thought, the priest is equivalent to the modern witch, right?

"She? Tsk!" Ming showed disdain when mentioning the water priest.

"Never seen what she's capable of, a parasite that lives to waste food."

In Ming's eyes, the water priestess was a swindler. She had never done anything that was beneficial to the tribe. When danger and disaster came, she would only pray in vain. The warriors of the tribe were still the ones who charged into battle.

When the war is won, she will come out again to show off her prayers and get the blessing of the beast god. She successfully protects the tribe. Only the ignorant tribesmen will respond to her! Who among the orcs with normal brains would listen to her nonsense? The sad thing is that most of the orcs are extremely stupid.

"If she had the knowledge of the night, she wouldn't have lost her way during the migration, causing heavy casualties among her people. What's even more infuriating is that several warriors died trying to save her. In the end, she only said one thing: it was the instruction of the Beast God."

Shi Erye understood that this water priest was a super PUA and CPU. If she were in modern times, she would be the boss of a pyramid scheme! Only I could compete with her.

"Heh... Bah!" I'm not a pyramid schemer. I'm a serious economics and management major. I'm an upright salesperson.

"Ye, let me tell father and the others what I learned today. It will definitely be useful in the future. When the season when food is scarce comes, we will go out hunting for several days and nights. It is important to identify the direction!" Ming discussed with Shi Erye.

"Ah? Of course you can, that's no big deal. But this method won't work when the weather is bad. Well... let me tell you some common sense. It's simple and useful."

"In the wild, if the moss on the rocks or roads is thick and plentiful, it is towards the north. If it is sparse or dry, it is towards the south. On rainy days, look at the bark of the trees. The ones that dry quickly are in the north, while the ones that dry slowly are in the south. Also, look at the growth rings on the stumps of felled trees. If the growth rings are wide, it is towards the south. If the growth rings are narrow, it is towards the north..."

Ming listened attentively, afraid of missing a single point of knowledge. After Erye finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've remembered everything! Ye is really a wise man, just like my grandfather!" Looking at such an outstanding female, Ming was obsessed with admiration. Such a knowledgeable female is his own.

"No way! The little knowledge I have is from what my grandma taught me when I was a child at her house. I would go back to my hometown during the summer vacation. During the day, I would climb trees to catch cicadas. At night, I would sit under the trees to enjoy the cool air, eat watermelons, and listen to my grandma tell me stories. It's a childhood that I can never go back to!" Shi Erye said with nostalgia in his eyes.

"I will always be with you from now on, Ye, and will accompany you no matter what you want to do!" Ming said while holding Shi Erye's hand.

"Yeah!" Time is a magical existence. In a blink of an eye, I have settled down in a strange world. I will just enjoy my work. When my aunt is over, I will go out more and find more food to eat! Help Ming, help my parents. She is not familiar with others, and she can't care so much. She will definitely repay the beasts that are good to her.

Ming was thinking, Ye is indeed a lady from a rich family. Her family must be like her mother's family. Her grandmother must be a woman of status and knowledge. Just like her grandfather! He couldn't help but worry. If he met them one day in the future, would they object to Ye being with him? Just like her father, he was not liked by her grandfather.

Phew… No matter what, I will never give in, I will never give up on Ye. The male's eyes were filled with determination. A male who was determined to surpass the previous wave. He would never be defeated by anything.
