The day after the friendly exchange with Tongzi, Zhu Yuanyuan asked her master for leave to go into the forest to pick herbs on the pretext that she had consumed too much medicinal materials during the snow season and needed to replenish them.
She still has a lot of medicinal herbs stored in her space, so she doesn't have to worry about running out of things.
The members of the herb collection team were busy plowing the ground to plant medicinal materials in spring and had no time to go into the forest. Hu Yin readily agreed.
"Don't run too far, lest you encounter danger and find no one to help," Hu Yin warned coldly.
After a snowy season, most of the surviving beasts were hungry and anxious, and even the newly cleared forest was not guaranteed to be safe.
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded obediently, "I know, don't worry, Master."
"Of course I'm relieved," Hu Yin snorted, "I'm just worried that something might happen to you and you'll have to recruit new disciples. Trouble!"
There was an obvious hint of arrogance in his words.
"Master, something is wrong with you," Zhu Yuanyuan blurted out.
"Nonsense, what's wrong with me?" Hu Yin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Don't think that the great witch can't beat people. I can kick three of you away."
Zhu Yuanyuan, "..." Don't you even make a draft when you're bragging?
Oh, I almost forgot. Master probably doesn’t know what drafting is, so no wonder he said such exaggerated words.
The fox beast's body shape is not big, and its force value is really not high, especially if it develops in the direction of a great witch. In the early stage, the competition is fierce, and its strength will increase faster. When it goes to an outside tribe to become a great witch and is praised and pampered, its strength will decline. will stagnate.
When he first became a disciple, Zhu Yuanyuan knew that his master was at the beginning of the Xuan level, but after more than ten years he was still standing still.
She has caught up, so she is no longer afraid of being beaten and warned.
After getting along with each other for many years, Hu Yin could easily see through his apprentice's thoughts and said bluntly, "I am your master. How dare you hide if I want to kick you?"
Zhu Yuanyuan choked.
Yes, how dare she hide when her master wants to beat her disciple? If she hides, the leader, clan leader and clan elders will come swarming to teach him how to behave.
Respecting teachers and respecting morality applies everywhere.
"Okay, you don't want to go out to collect herbs," Hu Yin waved his hand impatiently, "If you want to go, go quickly. If you keep asking me, I may change my mind."
"I'll go right away, master, don't worry," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a smile, picked up a large backpack and ran away.
She just felt that the request for leave went too smoothly, but she was happy to see the result. If she ruined the good situation by exploring the reasons, there would be no place to cry.
When I came out of the valley, I happened to meet the lady from the collection team. While saying hello, I muttered a few words, which instantly attracted several strange looks.
Zhu Yuanyuan was a little confused. She subconsciously took a few steps back and carefully inquired, "Is there something wrong?"
"Yes," Zhu Xiaofen nodded heavily, "It's your fault, not the witch."...
"Auntie, what are you talking about!" Zhu Yuanyuan's face fell, "Obviously Master agreed too quickly. It's strange. How come it's my fault?"
Hey, adults always bully little cubs like this.
"Isn't it good that the great witch agreed quickly? Only if he disagrees and doesn't let you go will he be happy?" Zhu Xiaofen got to the point.
"No, no, no," Zhu Yuanyuan shook her head hurriedly and said with a smile, "I'm just worried that something will happen to Master..."
Afterwards, I felt unreliable, and my voice became smaller and smaller.
The master almost grew up in the tribe and only went out a handful of times, so it was impossible for anything to happen.
"Okay, go about your business," Zhu Xiaofen rolled her eyes at her daughter, "You are about to hold a companionship ceremony, and the things you need are not ready yet. Isn't it good that the witch doesn't restrict you from going out? It's even more dangerous to go out at night."
Zhu Yuanyuan became even more confused after hearing this, "Have you not prepared the things you need? Is it more dangerous to go out at night? No, what should I prepare?"
Zhu Xiaofen was stunned, "You don't know?"
"I don't know," Zhu Yuanyuan pouted, "When I attended the ceremony, I only saw the eldest brother preparing prey and gifts, but not the sisters-in-law. So, does the little female also have work to do?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone in the collection team looked at Zhu Xiaofen.
It took a long time before someone murmured, "Xiaofen, don't you teach me the common sense that little females need to know?"
The eyes of the older females were full of disapproval. Raising cubs is not just about feeding them. What needs to be taught must be taught.
Amidst the condemnation of many companions, Zhu Xiaofen tried hard to think back and finally remembered, "Oh, I originally planned to move in with Yuanyuan during the snow season last year and teach her some things that adult females need to know. Unexpectedly, Snow The season has come early.”
The snow fell suddenly, and there was still a lot of work to be done at home. She was busy working and forgot to move in with her daughter. By the time she finished, the snow was very thick.
After a few months of winter in Mao, all the things I originally wanted to do have been forgotten.
Zhu Xiaofen felt a little guilty, "It's all my fault for not remembering things."
"I know Aniang didn't mean it," Zhu Yuanyuan comforted with a smile, "Anyway, there is still time, so it's not too late to tell me now."
"Ah, not now," Zhu Xiaofen frowned, "I have to go out to work and wait until evening."
What can Zhu Yuanyuan do?
I can only nod in agreement, "Okay."
Aniang is a good orc who loves her job and is dedicated to her job. She will not abandon public service for personal reasons. As her daughter, of course she must support her.
There were many people in the collection team, and Zhu Yuanyuan's small wooden boat was packed in the middle and carried away without even using the poles. It saved time and effort, but it was a bit of a waste boat.
After dragging the small wooden boat ashore, I took a look and saw that there were obvious collision marks on the bow and stern of the boat, and the hull was a bit shaky. It had to be hammered and repaired, otherwise it might be blown apart by the current when we returned.
She couldn't help but check other boats. There were few collision marks and the hulls were very strong. This did not happen.
Could it be that the small wooden boats she made were the worst among them all?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't accept this result, so she went to Tongzi to help analyze, "Is the wood I found not strong enough? But everyone cut down the trees in the same forest, and they were all of the same species."
She was the first to learn how to build a small wooden boat. There was no reason why the boat she made was so inferior to everyone else's.
"Is there a possibility," Tong Aotian said in a deep voice, "It's because you are used to being alone. The boating speed is relatively slow and cannot keep up with everyone's rhythm. The boat was hit too many times before it was on the verge of falling apart."
"Isn't it?" Zhu Yuanyuan hesitated.
"Heh," Tong Aotian sneered, "You can find out if you find the two wooden boats in front and behind you."
They were all homemade wooden boats, each with its own characteristics. Zhu Yuanyuan still remembered the appearance of the two boats in front and behind, so she found them easily. After walking around each boat, she soon discovered that there were signs of fresh collisions on both boats.
Of course, it was not the bow and stern of the ship, but the bow of one ship and the stern of the other ship. It just so happened that the collision mark of the ship in front of her was on the stern.
"The result is obvious," Tong Aotian exclaimed, "You are very strong, but your reaction is so poor. You have to rely on the help of the boat behind you to keep up. Let me see, you should wait until there are fewer people before leaving the valley next time. !」
Otherwise, the wooden boat will be knocked apart and other boats will be affected.
Zhu Yuanyuan, "..." Really, what nonsense are you talking about?
