Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 65: Woven Bag

Wu Yue stuffed the chili pepper in her hand into the woven bag at her side. "It’s nothing," she said with a smile. "I even got some in my eyes when I was a kid, but that pepper wasn’t nearly this potent."

They looked back at Hong, who was by the stream. She was clearly feeling much better, pulling her injured finger out of the water every so often, only to put it back in when the discomfort returned.

Her other hand was idly toying with a vine beside her.

’Wait...’

’Vines!!!’

Wu Yue strode over, grabbed a vine next to Hong, and gave it a hard tug. Her eyes lit up as she turned to Hua Shu, who had followed her.

"Grandma, this type of vine is really sturdy. We can weave it into bags to carry the wild vegetables we’ve collected back with us."

Hua Shu’s eyes lit up. She looked at the woven bag at Wu Yue’s waist. "You mean like the one you have?"

Wu Yue nodded. "This bag of mine is woven from dried grass, so it’s not very strong.

But vines are tough and can hold much more weight. We can weave them bigger to carry more."

Hua Shu was overjoyed. She immediately called the other women over and explained Wu Yue’s idea. "I think Yue’s method will work.

Let’s weave one and test it. If it really works, we’ll split into two groups. One will be in charge of collecting, and the other in charge of weaving.

If these bags are a success, we’ll surely be the team that brings back the most food this time."

The women erupted with excitement, each one looking at Wu Yue as if she were a precious treasure.

After cleaning the collected vines, Wu Yue started teaching the other women how to weave simple bags. They didn’t need to be pretty—they just needed to be able to hold wild vegetables.

The first woven bag they finished was large and deep.

More than ten grandmas emptied their Beast Skins of wild vegetables, but they still couldn’t fill the one woven bag.

The women stared at the still-empty woven bag and fell silent.

Wu Yue felt a bit awkward, too. ’Is this bag a little too big? How long will it take to fill? And if it’s too heavy, it’ll be hard to carry back to the tri—’

Her worries were cut short by the women’s cheers. They hugged each other, and since they were in the forest, they could only suppress their shouts into hushed cries of joy.

But the excitement contained in those hushed cries was palpable.

Hua Shu couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. "Alright, alright, quiet down, all of you."

The women looked excitedly at Grandma Hua Shu, waiting for her orders.

"Now, divide into two groups like I said. One group will stay here and make woven bags, the other will be in charge of collecting.

The collection group needs to pick up the pace. Today, we will definitely be the Collection Team that brings back the most food!"

Watching the excited, bustling figures of the women around her, Wu Yue’s lips twitched...

’So I was just worrying for nothing...’

’They were just excited.’

"Yue, come over here."

Hua Shu beckoned to her with a wide smile.

Wu Yue set down the vine in her hands and went to Grandma Hua Shu’s side. "Grandma, did you need me?"

Grandma Hua Shu smiled and patted her shoulder. "Yue, if we end up on top today, it will be all thanks to your contribution to the Collection Team.

So when we get back, I’m going to give you a full bag of wild vegetables. You’ll get your own share in all future collections, too."

This was the proper reward for a tribe member who had made a great contribution.

Wu Yue was taken aback. "I’m a member of the Collection Team, too. You don’t need to give me extra food.

But there is one thing I’d like to ask your help with."
