Chapter 122: Truly Shocked With Mouth Agape!
Facts proved that Su Ran’s first arrow hitting that dwarf deer was purely because it was close and due to luck.
By the time of the dozen or so arrows after that, they all missed completely.
However, Su Ran was not discouraged. She knew herself that hitting this one dwarf deer was mostly due to being close and good luck.
So she was already very satisfied with hitting one prey today.
Afterward, Su Ran returned to the rain shelter side with three beastmen.
When they entered the woods, the campfire burning under the stone pot here was already almost burned out.
By the time they came back, the campfire had completely turned into ashes, and the seafood roasting on the stones next to the campfire was already fully cooked and even about to cool down.
Xiao Ju and A Jin were eager to eat the roasted seafood, so Su Ran and Hui went to the seaside to pick some blue worms and put them directly into a bag.
After picking enough, they returned to the rain shelter, taking the sea salt burned in the morning and the dozen or so red birds just caught, plus two dwarf deer, preparing to go back.
The other dwarf deer was caught back by Xiao Ju while escaping.
When they returned to the river beach, it was still early, so there was no need to rush to make dinner.
Because they said they would make fish sausages for Xiao Ju and A Jin to eat, Hui and A Jin went hunting first for two prey to use the prey’s small intestines as sausage casings.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ju was sent by Su Ran to the riverside to catch fish.
Otherwise, she would always drool over those few red birds on the side, scaring the birds into huddling together trembling, not even daring to eat the food Su Ran fed them.
After arranging the beastmen, Su Ran picked up the few red birds still tied together.
She walked a few circles in front of and behind the house, looking for a spot to make a nest for these birds.
Of course, the nest she made was not a bird’s nest; she was going to make a large chicken coop, or rather a chicken pen.
Finally, Su Ran looked around the yard. In front of the house, on the left were the clothes rack, rain shelter, and barbecue grill.
On the right were the long table for drying food and the fire pit.
Su Ran also planned to build two storage rooms behind the long table and fire pit later, so putting the chicken coop there would be somewhat inappropriate.
So in the end, she placed the chicken coop in the position behind the house on the east side.
This position was right next to the vegetable garden, and opening the back window of the kitchen would allow one to see it at a glance.
Later, Su Ran also wanted to raise some four-eared oxen, white-headed sheep, and such livestock, and then the space would be just right to arrange behind the chicken coop.
After determining the position, Su Ran began to build the chicken coop.
She first carried this string of red birds back into the house and put them in the west room to prevent them from running away.
Then she came out of the house and started looking for suitable wood in the rain shelter.
The chicken coop would first be made like a wooden fence.
There was no time now; Su Ran planned to build the storage room and livestock shed at the end of autumn. The weather was not cold yet, so there was no rush.
Thinking this way, she began to carry back bit by bit the wooden sticks suitable for building the chicken coop to behind the house.
After preparing enough wooden sticks, she took a stone hammer and erected these wooden sticks, forming a rectangular circle, and hammered them into the ground.
The chicken coop was not big; the spacing between each wooden stick was about twenty centimeters wide, and then on the side facing the house, she left space for a door.
Soon, these wooden sticks were all hammered in.
Then, Su Ran took a self-made bone sickle and went to the woods behind to collect willow branches.
Now Su Ran was very skilled at collecting willow branches; her speed was fast, and for hard-to-get ones, she directly yanked down the entire branch.
Su Ran felt that her hand strength now was more than a little greater than three months ago.
Of course, she had also gotten much tanner.
As a girl, Su Ran was naturally a bit worried.
Sometimes looking at her two hands tanned two shades darker than before, she would feel sad and afraid inside.
She was also afraid that one day she would turn into a yellow-faced woman!
However, Su Ran felt lucky that although she had gotten tanner, her face and body after two months of sun exposure were not much rougher.
Even without applying skincare products, the skin on her face still felt very smooth and tender.
This should be related to the natural environment of this world.
The beastmen she had seen here seemed to only have some wrinkles on their faces if they were particularly old.
Although Su Ran was not a beastman.
But from the current state of her skin, under conditions of no long-term maintenance and daily activities under the blazing sun, she could still maintain this skin condition. Clearly, the inherent natural environment of this continent deserved great credit!
During this time, Su Ran had even thought of using the green-skinned eggs picked up to make a few face masks for skincare.
Later, she thought it was a bit too wasteful and put the idea aside!
After collecting enough willow branches, Su Ran dragged them back in bundles over several trips to the side of the half-built chicken coop.
Then she sat on the ground and began weaving these willow branches into long mats one by one.
The weaving method for the mats was much simpler than for things like backpacks and baskets that needed a specific shape.
When Hui and A Jin returned from hunting, Su Ran had already woven two and a half large mats.
Then she threaded the two finished mats through the gaps between the erected wooden sticks one by one. Although the willow branches were soft, their good toughness made them less likely to be pecked through by the red birds.
Su Ran also planned to transplant some dwarf shrubs outside the bird nest fence later, so even if the red birds could peck through the willow branch mats, they wouldn’t be able to drill out through the shrubs.
After installing the two mats, Su Ran temporarily set aside the bird nest construction and returned to in front of the house to help make dinner.
As a result, when she got to in front of the house, she was so shocked that her mouth dropped open, and she stood frozen in place!
Her mouth really opened wide!
Su Ran looked at the large pile of white fish bellies on the river beach ahead and felt that expanse of white was dazzlingly bright!
This little fool Xiao Ju had caught all the fish in the river, right!
Even a fishing net cast into the sea might not catch as many fish as Xiao Ju did today!
Su Ran looked at that huge pile of fish and felt her soul was about to leave her body!
How long would it take her to make these sausages…
She hurriedly ran to the riverside and called out to Xiao Ju, who was still throwing fish onto the river beach.
As soon as Xiao Ju heard Su Ran’s voice, she immediately stopped her actions.
She stood in the middle of the river, turned back to look this way, then happily ran toward Su Ran.
“Ran Ran!”
She ran up to Su Ran and pulled her straight into her embrace.
Then she pointed to the huge pile of fish on the river beach; on top of the fish pile, many live fish were still desperately flopping around!
“Ran Ran, fish, fish, sausage~~meow~~”
She pointed at the fish pile, and when mentioning sausage, she coquettishly drew out the tone toward Su Ran in a fawning way, then rubbed her little face forcefully against Su Ran’s face!
