For things like medicine, Demon Lord can explain that Lin Chujiu made them from local materials in the forest, but what about the clothes on Lin Chujiu’s body and the barrel of medicine?
These can’t be made out of local materials. Moreover, the things Lin Chujiu took out were not small items, and it was impossible to carry them with her at any time, let alone bring them into the forest.
As everyone knows, Lin Chujiu was forced to dive into the water at that time, and it was not planned. Even if she usually carried these things on her body, she couldn’t keep them after falling into the water.
“It’s really interesting, I’m becoming more and more curious about you.” Demon Lord gave up the idea of appearing in front of Lin Chujiu and planned to observe in the dark for a while.
In the future, it may not be possible to find such a good opportunity.
After staying in the forest for a few days, Lin Chujiu was used to living alone. After disposing of the corpses on the ground, Lin Chujiu wore protective clothing, climbed down from the tree, and stood more than ten meters away from the wooden house. Pull out a shovel and a wooden barrel.
Both the shovel and the wooden barrel were covered with mud, so people can tell it was not the first time she used it. After Lin Chujiu took it out, she squatted on the ground, scraped out the carrion and soil, put it into a wooden bucket, and emptied it when it was full.
The place where Lin Chujiu dumped the dirt and carrion was a pit and the pit exuded a stench. Demon Lord could smell it even from a long distance, which showed how many “treasures” were contained in the pit.
Bucket after bucket, Lin Chujiu was neither too tired nor troubled. She filled more than 20 buckets back and forth and didn’t stop until she cleaned up all the rotting meat in front of the cabin.
“She’s not squeamish.” Demon Lord looked angrily and amused.
Lin Chujiu doesn’t look like the daughter of a noble family and a reputable princess. Even the maidservants in the palace may not be able to do this kind of dirty and tiring thing, but Lin Chujiu was very familiar with it.
After tidying up the mess in front of the door, Lin Chujiu put the shovel and wooden bucket back in their original positions and laid another bundle of dead branches on the ground.
After finishing all this, Lin Chujiu clapped her hands and walked towards the creek. After cleaning the small puddle, she went to look for the traps she had set. After successfully harvesting an unlucky pheasant, Lin Chujiu hummed a little song, went back to the stream, cleaned the pheasant, and brought it back to the cabin.
Not long after, the smell of chicken stewed with mushrooms came from the cabin. The smell was… so damn tempting, Demon Lord once considered whether to appear to get a share, but finally held back.
He wanted to know Lin Chujiu’s secrets, all of her secrets. Not to blackmail her, or anything, just to get to know this woman.
Fortunately, the tormenting aroma was only temporary, and when Lin Chujiu finished eating, the aroma faded away, and at this time it was getting dark. The birds returned to their nests one after another, which was very lively. However, the bustle was only temporary. After the birds return to their nests, the forest gradually returns to tranquility.
In the forest, it gets dark earlier than outside, and it was extremely unwise to light a fire in the forest at night. Demon Lord gave up on looking for food and jumped onto the big tree where the cabin was, wanting to observe Lin Chujiu up close, but… …
As soon as it got dark, Lin Chujiu went to bed. The wooden house was pitch black, and no matter how close Demon Lord was, what he could see was limited.
Demon Lord didn’t want to disturb Lin Chujiu, so he didn’t go in, but just guarded outside.
It was very cold in the tree at night, and the temperature will drop suddenly. Lin Chujiu sleeps in the wooden house, and there are warm things to keep out the cold, so she doesn’t feel much discomfort.

I don’t like how he’s always trying to find out what her secrets are without ever offering up any of his in return. And yet, she barely knows anything about him at all.
Thank you for the chapter❤️
