After breakfast, I tidied up my things briefly.

Xiang Liu scooped Lu Yao up in his arms, while Lu Yao protected Jia Liu in her arms, and they set off first.

Tianwu gave Bai Ze a few more instructions, and then Bai Ze went back to fetch the tribe's people. Tianwu, meanwhile, sensed Lu Yao's location and left markers along the road.

Today was really unlucky; we didn't find a suitable cave to land in until the afternoon.

Lu Yao: "It's not a good idea to keep looking for caves. We might as well just find a place to camp from now on."

Xiang Liu: "That won't do, you'll get sick if you get caught in the rain."

Lu Yao summoned the system: "System, do you sell tents?"

System: "Only blueprints are available; you are welcome to purchase them, host."

Lu Yao: "We have blueprints but no materials, how do we do it?"

System: "There is a wooden tent with a wooden frame and tray. Simply cover it with waterproof animal hide. The blueprint can be purchased for just one gold coin."

Lu Yao thought it sounded alright, so she went to the mall to exchange for the blueprint.

Xiang Liu dared not leave Lu Yao alone in the unfamiliar environment, so he could only clean the cave while waiting for Tian Wu to return.

Lu Yao was a little hungry, so she took out some fruit from her spatial storage and ate it with relish.

After a long time, Tianwu returned with a wild buffalo.

Xiang Liu: "Why did it take you so long to get back?"

Tianwu: "I was worried that Yaoyao was hungry, so I hunted a wild buffalo nearby."

Xiang Liu: "You handle the game, I'll go out and cut down a tree and come back quickly to start a fire and cook."

Xiang Liu quickly dragged a large tree back and began chopping firewood by hand.

Lu Yao: "Why prepare so much firewood? Aren't we continuing our journey tomorrow?"

Tianwu: "We've traveled quite far today, and I'm afraid Bai Ze and the others won't be able to catch up for a while. We'll have to wait for them here for a few days. They're also busy making salt along the way, and they'll send over another batch of salt in a few days."

Lu Yao: "There's no rush to make salt. We can do it after we get to Chaoyang Valley!"

Tianwu: "Ever since Caiyun escaped, the tribe now sends two people on night watch. It's the perfect time to make salt. By consuming more salt, we can free up the carts to carry other supplies."

Xiang Liu: "That's good too. Having someone on night watch can prevent stray beasts and other tribes from attacking us."

Lu Yao: "Since we're going to stay here for a few more days, why don't we build a wooden tent? That way, if we can't find a cave again, I can just take out the tent and camp anytime."

Tianwu: "What is a wooden tent?"

Lu Yao: "It's about making a wooden frame and covering it with animal hides for rain protection. Resting inside is more private than in a cave."

Xiang Liu said thoughtfully, "It's very discreet!"

Tianwu immediately understood: "Let's start cooking after we finish eating!"

Lu Yao was unaware that the two men were so eager because they wanted to make it easier for them to get closer to her once the wooden tent was finished. Therefore, she foolishly cooperated with them, wanting to complete the tent as quickly as possible.

So Lu Yao asked, "We've used up all the waterproof animal hides, what are we going to do?"

Tianwu: "That's easy. I know of a very large aquatic beast whose fur is not only waterproof but also warm."

"They live in a lake not far away. I'll hunt two for you tomorrow."

With everything ready, the two began grilling the meat.

Lu Yao took out two live crucian carp and a bucket of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.

Upon seeing the crucian carp, Xiang Liu asked, "Yao Yao, is your milk supply insufficient?"

Lu Yao: "Yeah, Jia Liu isn't getting enough to eat right now."

Xiang Liu: "Feeding her soup is the same; don't make things difficult for yourself."

Lu Yao: "That won't do. Our Jialiu is so well-behaved; she can't be wronged any longer."

Jia Liu seemed to understand Lu Yao's words and smacked her lips again.

Lu Yao knew that Jia Liu was hungry, so she turned her back and began to breastfeed Jia Liu.

Because Lu Yao drank a lot of soup, she could only eat two bites of the roast meat before she couldn't eat anymore.

Tianwu said worriedly, "How can we just drink soup and not eat meat? We'll get hungry again soon."

Lu Yao: "We can eat when we're hungry. The soup and meat are ready."

Tianwu said with heartache, "You always say nice things, but you still eat so little. Your face has gotten thinner."

Lu Yao: "Alright, you guys hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I'll teach you how to make a camping tent, okay?"

Remembering that he could be close to Lu Yao again once the tent was finished, Tian Wu quickly sped up his eating. Xiang Liu, not to be outdone, also ate at a faster pace, and the two soon finished all the roasted meat.
