Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Digging the Earth
"Aunt Hongguo, we only need to shape mud today. Beastmen, with their rough hands, aren’t needed for this, and I don’t require that many females either. The older females in the tribe can help, it’s not too exhausting a task, we don’t need only the young females here!"
Hongguo nodded, dispersed the Beastmen first, and then sent more than half of the females to collect chestnuts, only leaving behind a few females Su Tang was familiar with.
She then instructed Huang Guo, "Go invite Aunt An and the others, see if they can lend a hand."
Huang Guo nodded and hurriedly left.
Hongguo turned to Su Tang and kindly smiled, "I’ll take them to collect chestnuts, leaving Qing Guo and Liu Ye here to help you. If something comes up, have Yuanyuan come get me!"
Su Tang nodded, "Alright!"
Then Hongguo added, "It would be quite a hassle, take breaks when you feel tired otherwise the chieftain might fret when he sees you working."
Su Tang’s smile stiffened slightly, but she immediately brushed it away pretending she heard nothing and urged Hongguo saying, "Aunt Hongguo please hurry to gather the chestnuts! I’m all set here! You can rest assured!"
Although Su Tang acted naturally, Hongguo had a feeling of doubt.
Her sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Su Tang’s heart, making her feel uneasy!
After all, Hongguo managed the young females of the tribe and had seen and reconciled many couples’ quarrels!
So with just one look, Hongguo sensed that Su Tang was annoyed with the chieftain!
This explained why the chieftain insisted today that she should not allow Su Tang to work too hard, but he didn’t come himself!
Since she didn’t fully understand the situation between the two, Hongguo decided not to say anything, nodded and left.
Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, go get your baskets, we’re going to dig up some earth!"
Yuanyuan stomped on the ground, "Isn’t there enough soil right here? Why do we need to go somewhere else to dig?"
Su Tang shook her head and explained, "This soil won’t do, there are too many small stones in it and the particles are too large, it’s not suitable for making pottery. I know a place with the right soil, grab your baskets and I’ll take you there!"
"Oh, alright!"
Su Tang also headed back into the cave to get her small basket.
After waiting for a short while, everyone was ready to go!
Huang Guo was calling for the older females from each cave and hadn’t returned yet.
So, only Qing Guo, Yuanyuan, and Liu Ye were there, four of them in total!
Su Tang smiled lightly, "Let’s go!"
The place they were headed to was the sole dirt road outside the tribe.
Having just chased people down this road the day before yesterday, Su Tang was quite familiar with it!
The soil there was fine, almost like flour, and perfectly suitable for making pottery!
The group of four walked side by side, chattering and laughing along the way, creating a cheerful atmosphere!
Suddenly, Qing Guo stated with mild surprise, "Huh? Liu Ye, it seems like there’s less of...those things...on your face!"
Liu Ye instinctively felt her cheeks, they were still slightly bumpy, but she could also feel smooth skin!
This was something she had never experienced before!
Liu Ye looked at Su Tang with surprise and excitement, "Really? Tangtang, did the...pus, I mean, acne on my face really decrease?"
After closely inspecting Liu Ye’s face, Su Tang found that it had indeed reduced considerably.
She couldn’t help but marvel at the miraculous effects of the Aloe Vera from here. If she found more, she would definitely use it for her facial skin care!
"Yes! It’s absolutely true! It’s reduced a lot. Make sure you apply the Aloe Vera that I gave you consistently, and pay attention to your diet!"
