A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

When Su Ling saw the person coming, she remembered that when she came here, she didn't see Uncle Huqiu except Aunt Chun. She thought Uncle Huqiu went out hunting today. It seemed that he went to find a witch to help Aunt Chun treat her illness.

"Wu, Uncle Huqiu, you are here."

Huqiu didn't think about anything else, and stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Su Ling, can what you just said cure Chun?"

Chun hasn't been able to eat anything these past few days. Last night, Huya brought back food, and Chun liked it after drinking some soup. He wanted to eat some animal meat in the morning, but he vomited after just two bites. So he wanted to go find Wu to take a look.

"I don't know if it can be cured, but it should be better. If you believe in it, just give it a try."

Huqiu calmed down. He was too excited. He didn't want to miss any chance of recovery. "Okay, we'll try."

"Su Ling, can this method be used by other people? Some people in the tribe have the same disease as Chun." The witch at the side asked. She didn't have any way to cure it, so she could only pray for them, but it didn't work. If this method could cure it, it would be able to help the sick people in the tribe.

"Of course, but there are many different types of stomachaches, and these are all I know. There is no other way to treat more."

"It's okay. If it works, that's great. If it doesn't, there's nothing we can do. We don't have any other treatments."

As he spoke, Huya brought in a bowl of hot water with sticky honey in it, "Mom, come and have some water."

Huqiu helped Chun up, took the hot water, blew on it, and brought it to her mouth. Chun drank the honey water mouthful by mouthful.

"How do you feel?" Huqiu asked as he wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Well, my stomach feels warm and it doesn't hurt as much as before." Chun was a little surprised.

"As long as it's useful, as long as it's useful." Huqiu was a little choked up. Seeing Chun vomiting so badly in the morning, he was afraid that she would return to the arms of the Beast God. He didn't expect that such a simple bowl of sticky honey and hot water would be so useful. As long as it is useful, he would go and get more no matter what the cost.

Su Ling's brows relaxed when she heard this. As long as it was useful, it was fine.

Wu was also very pleased, "Not only drink hot water, remember what Su Ling said just now. I think the clothes Su Ling is wearing are very warm. You should also get Chun one like this." She is old, and her clothes should be made like this, which looks very warm.

"Okay, there are still a lot of animal skins in the cave, we'll get them soon." Seeing that his partner looked better than before, Huqiu felt relieved.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back and tell this method to other sick tribesmen." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Wu, take care." Huqiu escorted the man out of the cave.

"Uncle, Aunt, it's nothing, I'll go back first."

Huqiu was very grateful to Su Ling, "Okay, Huyi is not in the tribe, you can come to uncle if you have any problems. Huya will follow you these days, ask him to do anything." Huqiu gave Huya a few instructions.

Su Ling originally wanted Hu Ya to stay and take care of his mother, but seeing that they had already discussed it, she didn't say anything more.

She also remembered that she needed to find some mud to make pottery, but she didn't know where to find it. It would be nice to have a guide, so she took Hu Ya with her.

"Sister Su Ling, do we want to go back to the cave?" There was hope that his mother would be cured, and Hu Ya smiled a lot more often, with his two pointed little canine teeth always exposed.

Su Ling was also very happy. "I won't go back yet. I want to go to the place where the tribe uses water. Can you take me there?"

"Okay, what's up?" He asked and walked in another direction.

"I want to make something that needs some mud, preferably silt, and I want to go there to see if there's anything suitable."

"Oh, then I'll take you to see it."

The tribesmen they met along the way greeted Su Ling enthusiastically, asking her where she was going and if she needed help. Su Ling said she was just taking a walk, so they left and went back to work, asking her to come to them if she had any problems.

After walking out of the tribe for about ten minutes, Su Ling saw a river. The tribesmen in the tribe usually fetched water here. There were also a few people washing clothes and animal skins downstream.

It's really not close from the cave to here. Usually, Hu Yi comes out to fetch water, and there is always water in the water tank. Even the bath water she often uses is brought back by Hu Yi. She didn't know she had to walk so far.

"Sister Su Ling is here, see if there is anything we can help with." Su Ling was brought back to her senses by this voice.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. You follow me and don't go down to play in the water."

Walking closer and looking, I saw that this river bank was mostly mud, sand and stones, which cannot be used as raw materials for mud embryos. The mud embryos for making pottery must be clay, which should be fine, soft and plastic.

I searched for a while on the river bank but didn't see anything suitable.

"Su Ling, Hu Ya, what are you doing here?"

Su Ling saw Sha walking towards them with animal skins in her hands, and it seemed that she was here to clean the skins.

"Sister Shah."

"We came to find some mud. Are you here to clean the hides?"

"Isn't mud everywhere? What kind are you looking for?"

Su Ling told her what kind of mud she was looking for.

"I know where this kind of mud is. I'll take you to find it." After saying that, he put the basket of animal skins in his hand on the ground and was about to lead Su Ling.

"Don't you want to clean the hides? Just tell Huya, we'll go there by ourselves so as not to delay your work."

"It's okay, it's not far from here. I'll come back to wash later. Let's go." After saying that, he walked forward without waiting for Su Ling to say anything else.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, they saw a pond. When they got closer, Su Ling looked at the mud in the pond and smiled. She scooped up some and twisted it in her hands. Great, this was the clay she was looking for.

"Is this kind of mud okay?" Sha asked Su Ling.

"Sure. Thank you so much today. I'll give you some pottery when I make them."

Sha was also very happy that the mud here could be used. "Are you going to make something new again? Can I help you? I'm very capable."

"Don't you have to do something else?"

"It's okay, I don't have to go these few days." She liked Su Ling very much, and she was always able to make a lot of good things. If only she could be half as smart as Su Ling. Her mother also told her to learn more from Su Ling and go to help when she had nothing to do.

Hu Yi was not in the tribe these days. She had not planned to join the gathering team. She wanted to find Su Ling after washing the animal skins, but she did not expect to meet someone here.

I'd rather get some free labor than refuse it. "Sure, go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to cook. After lunch, bring your tools and we'll start digging mud. When you've washed the hides, come over and eat."

"No need to eat, I'll come and help after I finish washing."

"No, that won't work. If you don't come to eat, I can't let you come to help." He's not a black-hearted boss who would just work and not eat.

"Okay, I'll come after I finish washing." Sha compromised.

After returning to the river, the group split up.
