With bone needles in hand, there was no thread to sew anything. Lu Yao frowned deeply.

Xiang Liu: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yao: "I have a needle, but no thread, so I can't sew anything."

Xiang Liu: "What is a thread?"

Lu Yao: "It's something as thin as your hair. You can thread it through this hole and then sew things."

Xiang Liu generously cut off a section of his own hair and gave it to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao: "What are you doing?"

Xiang Liu: "My hair is very strong; it can be used as thread. If you don't have enough, I can give you all of it."

Lu Yao: "No need, it's enough. Your hair is so long, I can use it for a long time."

Xiang Liu took hair from behind her ears, and it was a full meter long, enough to sew a bag.

Lu Yao: "Could you help me cut a piece of fish skin?"

Following Lu Yao's request, Xiang Liu cut a piece of fish skin about half a meter wide and one meter long.

Lu Yao: "Cut me another small piece of fish skin, about a meter long, to use as a rope to seal the opening."

Xiang Liu cut it with a light stroke of her fingernail.

Lu Yao eagerly picked up her needle and began sewing.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully crafted a bone needle. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Xiang Liu: "I'll go make you lunch first. What would you like to eat?"

Lu Yao: "Let's finish that chicken, it won't be fresh if we leave it for too long."

Xiangliu cut the remaining chicken into small pieces and skewered them on tree branches to roast.

Before long, Lu Yao's cloth bag was finished. She put all the pearls from the bed into it, pulled the rope, and sealed the bag tightly.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully created the pocket. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Xiang Liu: "The meat is ready, come and eat!"

While Lu Yao was eating, Xiang Liu said, "The weather is getting cold now, we need to hurry up and go inland. I need to collect some warm animal hides for you."

Lu Yao: "Is it getting cold? I don't feel cold at all!"

Xiang Liu: "You are wearing clothes made from my scales, which keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. But they are not very effective in the cold season."

After Lu Yao finished eating, Xiang Liu took several one-meter-tall wooden buckets into the cave.

Xiang Liu: "These are all the food I collected. You can put them in your space. I'll go out and pick some of the medicinal herbs you mentioned. You stay in the cave and don't wander off."

Xiang Liu returned in the afternoon, carrying a bouquet of flowers. The flowers were small, pale purple, with oval leaves and dark brown spherical fruits.

Lu Yao took the flower: "It's so beautiful, but I don't know if this fruit is edible."

Xiang Liu: "I tasted it for you. It's not poisonous, but it tastes terrible."

Lu Yao also picked one, gently bit it with her teeth, and found it to be very bitter.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained the herb Vitex trifolia, and are rewarded with one gold coin."

Lu Yao asked the system in a low voice, "What kind of illness is this herb used to treat?"

System: "The fruit of *Vitex negundo* can be used medicinally, possessing sedative and antipyretic effects. It tastes bitter and pungent, is slightly cold in nature, and enters the liver, stomach, and bladder meridians. It is primarily used to disperse wind-heat and clear the head and eyes. It is used for wind-heat colds, headaches (both regular and migraine), toothaches…"

Lu Yao: "How do I save it?"

System: "Simply dry it in the sun."

Xiang Liu: "Yaoyao, who are you talking to?"

Lu Yao: "I was talking to myself, trying to identify this plant."

Xiang Liu: "Is there anything special about this plant?"

Lu Yao: "This plant is called Vitex trifolia, and its fruit can be used as medicine. It is called Vitex trifolia fruit. It can treat colds and headaches."

Xiang Liu: "What is a cold?"

Lu Yao: "When the weather is particularly hot and people are particularly tired, they will cough, have a runny nose, feel feverish, and have a headache. This will help."

Xiang Liu: "I have never experienced this situation."

Lu Yao: "You can also use this for toothache."

Xiang Liu: "I have had toothaches before. There are many of these plants on the island, I'll go pick some."

Lu Yao: "You can just pull the whole plant out and take it back to the cave. I'll pick the fruit."

Xiang Liu: "Okay."

Before long, Xiang Liu brought over a large bundle of single-leaf thorns, and Lu Yao finally had something to do.

In the evening, Lu Yao placed the Vitex trifolia seeds at the entrance of the cave to dry. A large sheet of fish skin was laid out at the entrance, and Lu Yao spread the Vitex trifolia seeds evenly on the fish skin.

There were also many sea awnings drying outside the cave, all from Xiangliu Lane.

Xiang Liu: "I'll take care of these things. You should go back now."

Lu Yao: "I want to find something to do, otherwise I'm getting too bored."

Xiang Liu: "Alright then, I'll go back and cook. Don't wander around here."
