Ancient Eden - Chapter 110
Chapter 110
(34.4)
The salty brine was still very dirty, not only was it black in color, she could see the sandy and muddy impurities inside with her naked eye. It needed to be filtered first.
There was no such thing as tools to filter here, all she could think of was her clothes.
She took off her clothes and went to the stream to scrub and clean them, before returning to the cave.
Here, in addition to Li Mang and Xiao Hei, occasionally she could also see some small animals of all sorts that would quickly skim through the grass and trees, startled by their new arrival. She didn’t even have time to see exactly what animals those were, but apart from that, there was only the sky and the earth as well as the luxuriant jungle in the distance. Thus, without her clothes to cover her body, it felt a little weird, but it wasn’t a big problem.
She lied down on the ground and slowly filtered the salty brine with the fabric from the corner of her shirt, after filtering it twice, she got half a coconut shell of cleaner brine.
The clothes that had been soaked in the brine would easily turn brittle if left unwashed, so she immediately went to the stream and rinsed them clean. Then she hung them up to dry.
She went back to the cave, lit a fire, and set up the slab she had just picked up above the fire.
The hollow in the slab was shallow, and after pouring nearly a third of the brine in the coconut shell into it, it was already full. But it didn’t matter, she could boil the brine several times.
The fire burned at the bottom of the slab, and the water in the hollow slowly boiled and evaporated. When the water was completely evaporated, Mu Qing saw a layer of ash-colored crystals adhering to the bottom of the hollow.
She had gotten her first portion of salt.
With salt, not only could they say goodbye to the bland taste and not have to drink that disgusting bloody soup, but more importantly, the food could be preserved better.
She let out an exclamation of excitement and almost immediately rushed to Li Mang to tell him the good news. She had already run a few steps out of the cave, but finally she held back.
It was better to wait until he would have food sprinkled with salt. She wanted to see his reaction to this new taste.
Xiao Hei ran after Mu Qing, and then also suddenly stopped in its track along with her, not understanding what was happening. Looking back at Mu Qing, it meowed a few times.
Not seeing Mu Qing coming over to his side and circling around him for half a day, Li Mang was a little uneasy. He actually liked very much the feeling of her circling leisurely around him. Plus, the edge of the hoe made of bone became a bit dull, so he took it with him as he came back to see her, to sharpen the edge in passing.
When he reached the entrance to the cave, he saw a sight he never would have expected.
Something was cooking on a stone slab set over the fire, and it was emitting white smoke upwards. His Mu Qing was lying naked on the ground, blowing earnestly on the fire, while her round buttocks were arching up toward him.

Mu Qing was carefully maintaining the fire, wanting to control the fire to the best of her ability. If it was too fierce, she feared it would char, if it was too weak, it would be a waste of time. As she was lying down, puffing her cheeks to blow on the fire, she suddenly felt that her waist was tightly held by someone from behind. There was no need to turn around to know that it was Li Mang.
Not complying, she slapped off his hand that had already moved up to her armpit and chest, and then turned back toward him and smiled at him.
Li Mang was a bit stunned.
After being with her for so long, he knew that she cared very much about being naked during daytime, so except in the morning when he woke up, he almost never saw her like this, not to mention in this posture: lying on the ground, with her hips high up, and that shallow beautiful curving line on the center of her back, that was extended down her waist and hips, and then disappeared between her buttocks, especially by that piece of fabric that covered half of her buttocks and that curving line, which was very eye-catching and tantalizing.
