Chapter 108: Collecting Flowers and Wine
"Chiji?" The Saker Falcon landed at the entrance of the cave and turned around to look at Jiang Changle in confusion.
Jiang Changle looked around but didn't see anyone. "The items are fine, but I don't know who collected them and stored them here. If we steal them, we might get into trouble."
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" I don't know if the Saker Falcon understood it, it flew up again, turned a corner and went into the dense forest.
Not long after Jiang Changle and the big white tiger followed, they suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Awoo!" The big white tiger grunted vigilantly and slowly advanced with Jiang Changle on its back.
Then, Jiang Changle finally arrived at the crime scene and saw corpses all over the ground, including those of big rats and monkeys.
It seemed the two beasts were fighting for territory or for life and death, but they were fighting fiercely, willing to bite each other even if they had to use up their last bit of strength.
In the end, they all died.
No one knew what species the mice and monkeys were. They were about the same size and the two forces were evenly matched. In the end, neither of them gained the upper hand and no one survived.
Could it be related to the beast tide, with both sides going berserk early? After all, this was a wild forest, so everything that happened was perfectly reasonable.
But no matter what, are all the ready-made food in the cave hers?
Jiang Changle crossed the battlefield and came to the monkey's territory. Under an old tree, he actually found monkey wine, also known as Hundred Fruit Wine.
I could smell the aroma of wine from afar, so I thought it must be of quite a good age. There was no sign of any monkeys around, not even a baby monkey.
It can only be said that the cruelty of the animal world is unimaginable. Jiang Changle's sympathy is at most reserved for the surviving lives, and the corpses of the wild beasts can no longer leave her with a ripple.
Hey, the fruit wine has become ownerless too? Can she take it at will? Jiang Changle rubbed her hands together. In her space, there was a water tank and a wooden barrel filled with glue.
The wine in the tree hole was very deep, and no one knew how long it had been settling. The water in the upper layer was very clear. Jiang Changle picked up a little with his hand and smelled it.
Then I tasted it again and found no harmful ingredients. It tasted sweet and particularly pure.
However, she didn't dare drink too much because she didn't know how strong the wine would be. If she got drunk here, she might become food for the wild beasts.
"Great, this is all ours, let's take it all home!"
Jiang Changle took out basins from the space and scooped the water into the big water tank. One tree hole was filled with several tanks of wine, and she also picked up some fruits and put them into the tank.
These fruits can be used as the base, and new fruits can be added in the future, so she will have endless fruit wine.
Of course, she would also keep some of the fruit wine in the tree hole, but the monkeys were all dead, so she didn't know whether she could still produce wine in the future.
After filling the wine, he poured it back. When passing by the battlefield, Jiang Changle still lit three bundles of incense in this place. The incense was brought to the Jiang family by the village chief when the house was built.
Now I am offering my condolences to the Buddha, hoping that both mice and monkeys will have an afterlife and be reborn as the species they want to be.
When he returned to the cave, Jiang Changle collected most of the food in the cave, but finally kept some of it, just in case there were still some mice alive.
When packing the food in the cave into bags, Jiang Changle also added some food from the space and mixed it in. In total, there were dozens of bags, and each sack weighed several hundred kilograms.
Jiang Changle used tree trunks to make a shoulder pole, hung it on the big white tiger with vines, and then piled bags of grain on it.
After loading more than ten tons of food, the big white tiger seemed to feel very relieved.
"Xiaobai, is everything okay?"
Jiang Changle first tried the weight that the big white tiger could bear. When traveling in an uninhabited area, she would definitely put all the food in the space and take it out when she saw someone.
"Awoo!" The big white tiger was full of energy and didn't take the weight seriously at all. It could be seen that both its physical condition and strength had been greatly improved in Jiang Changle's space.
"Okay, let's go back."
Jiang Changle waved his hand, put the food into the space, and walked back with the two pets.
When she got close to the rubber-collecting area, she loaded the wine and food onto the big white tiger, and then let the Saker Falcon take her and fly into the sight of the rubber-collecting team.
"Mrs. Jiang is back!"
"Wow, what a harvest! Aren't these all food?"
"Changle, are you okay?"
In the end, only Lu's mother cared about whether Jiang Changle was in danger.
Everyone rushed towards Jiang Changle.
"I'm not hurt." Jiang Changle jumped off the Saker Falcon and told everyone about her experience.
"I found a lot of food in a cave in the valley ahead. It was all harvested food.
Going deeper into the dense forest, we saw the corpses of rats and monkeys all over the ground. It seemed that they had fought yesterday, and the corpses were still smelly.
I also found some monkey wine in a tree hole in the monkeys' territory. I happened to have a bucket and a sack with me, so I brought it all back."
Who has the luck to pick up such a bargain? The orcs' eyes turned red with envy. If they had known there was such a great benefit, they would have followed Jiang Changle to see it even if they died.
Everyone knows that there is a valley nearby, but rats and monkeys used to guard it and prevent people from entering. No one ever knew what was in the desolate valley.
By the time Jiang Changle arrived, the rats and monkeys were already dead? She had gotten away with it. Sigh, that's fate.
Mother Lu was very happy for Jiang Changle. She came over and held her hand, not wanting to let go.
"As long as Changle returns safely, we will collect glue the same way you did and fill all the buckets. Now that you are back, we can go back too."
In the past, they would have had to stay in the rubber forest for several days because the first batch of bamboo tubes could not fill their large buckets.
But according to Jiang Changle's method, they only needed one day to fill the big barrel and could return directly.
Whether the rubber trees will die or not will be discussed later. Anyway, they are only trying out a small half of the rubber trees, so the rubber tapping team is grateful and admires Jiang Changle.
Seeing that Jiang Changle had gained so much, they were even more determined to follow him.
The rubber-collecting team hurriedly packed up their things and soon followed Jiang Changle back. It didn't take long before the group returned to the elephant's territory.
Here, the hunting team also finished their jade mining work. They saw pieces of colorful ore placed under the big tree, and some were packed in sacks, which looked quite spectacular.
Some of the orcs were already grilling meat, and the rest were peeling animal skins. Both wolf skin and lion skin were good materials.
Animal skins can be used to make clothes, and Jiang Changle also wants to use them to make shoes, so Chu Weifeng has to collect all the animal skins on the battlefield for her.
Even so, when Jiang Changle's food moved over like a mountain, the orcs present were still shocked.
Where did Jiang Changle go to rob?
"Wife! You're back? Are you not hurt?" Chu Weifeng threw away the animal skin in his hand, washed his hands hurriedly, and ran towards Jiang Changle quickly.
"No injuries. How are things on your end? Let's rest for another night. Can we go home tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'll go home tomorrow~"
