[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

04. Salt

After the meal, Chen Ting walked out of the stone house to judge the direction and time based on the angle of the sun above his head and the moss on the corner, and found that it was just over nine o'clock in the morning in a civilized society.Now that he has enough food and strength, he plans to go out for a walk, and learn about his current environment by the way.

He told Xiyu what he thought, but he got a very puzzled look from the other party, as if he couldn't understand why this person who didn't even want to go out the door suddenly wanted to go out and have a look when he woke up.However, Xiyu's submissive nature did not allow him to express his doubts. He still nodded obediently and followed Chen Ting out.

Xiyu's difficulty in speaking was because he had endured too much fear in his heart, and the peace of breakfast made him feel a little relieved. When he was by Chen Ting's side, when he looked good, he would take the initiative to say two things. sentence.

"Are we going to the tribe?" Xiyu pointed not far away, looking over from where they were, he could see many stone houses and thatched huts.

"What's over there?" Chen Ting pointed to the other side.

"On the mountain, there is still water." Xiyu didn't seem to be aware of his amnesia-like behavior, and would answer questions seriously.

mountains and water?These two things attracted Chen Ting far more than the tribes living not far away. He turned around and walked towards the mountain.Xiyu followed behind him, tightened the rope on his chest, fixed the baby son who was full of food and snoring in sleep, and followed Chen Ting's limping steps towards the direction of the mountain.

The mountains here really surprised Chen Ting. The lush forests and fertile land lead to very dense and rich vegetation in the forests. It takes less than three or four minutes to walk and you can see a familiar green tree from the side of the road. Food, but there are also some things that I have never seen before, but Xiyu is very happy to see them.

"Fruit." Xiyu saw a small tree as tall as a person from a distance, covered with blue fruits.He ran over to pick one off, and when he broke it open, he could see a milky white liquid flowing out of it, which smelled very sweet.

The little guy ran back to him in a few steps, wiped several fruits on his body and handed them to him, "Eat it, it's delicious, and you won't be thirsty after eating it."

Chen Ting took it and took a bite, feeling that the juice of this thing was a bit like milk, but the taste was more like fig pulp.

"It's delicious." Chen Ting only ate one, but put the rest in the cloth bag on Xiyu's chest.

"Eat, eat more." The little guy hurriedly pushed his hand, wanting him to eat more.

Chen Ting's eyes softened, deeply touched by his completely instinctive devotion.Even though his body was covered with bruises, he was still firm and even stubborn for a good reason for a man who beat him... What was it?

Chen Ting frowned slightly, puzzled by the doubts in his heart.However, Xiyu didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Seeing him like this, he subconsciously felt that the man was angry again, so he instinctively hid back.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ting sighed helplessly, and forcefully stuffed the fruit back into his cloth bag, "Take it back, if you want to eat it later, we'll take it out and eat it."

Hearing what he said, Xiyu nodded quickly, and went back to pick a lot of such fruits, talking while picking.

"In the past, Xiyu didn't dare to go so far. The baby wanted to eat, but he couldn't eat it. Pick more, and the baby can eat a little bit."

What he said was wronged and pitiful, which made Chen Ting feel depressed.Secretly cursing the original owner of his body as a shameless bastard, he actually bullied people to this extent.

"Let's go." He stood there, watching him pick and put away the ripe fruits, and stretched out his hand to him, "I want to go to the top of the mountain, the road deep in the forest is not good, I will Pull you, you take care of the baby."

Xiyu blinked her big eyes and bit her lower lip to watch the hand stretched out to her. It took her a long time to pass her hand over timidly. What she was waiting for was not the beating she would receive after being held back in the past. Instead, he was gently held by the wrist and led forward.He lowered his head and pursed his lips, quietly raised his head and glanced at the man walking half a step in front of him, puzzled.

"Will it be uncomfortable?" Chen Ting, who was walking ahead while being careful that poisonous insects and beasts would suddenly appear on the ground, asked suddenly while choosing a more convenient and safer path.

"Huh?" Xiyu made a single sound in confusion.

"Shoes, I saw that person wearing shoes just now, but won't it be uncomfortable if we don't wear shoes?" Don't talk about yourself, even Xiyu's soles and sides are covered with thick calluses, which shows that they are really very cute. Wear less shoes.

As soon as he said this, the little guy lowered his head timidly, "Xi...Xiyu didn't learn..."

In the tribe, things like weaving shoes need to be done by an adult with a totem on his chest, let alone someone who already has a partner, and it is even more necessary to prepare these for the family members.But Xiyu's situation is different from ordinary people. It is not easy to take care of three people who are unable to work without starving to death. How can he have time to do things like weaving shoes.

Hearing his words, Chen Ting had a general idea of ​​the situation, and sighed helplessly.

"Go back and learn!" He murmured, thinking about what kind of excuse he could use to find someone to learn the skill of weaving shoes.

However, Xiyu thought that what he meant was for him to learn, so he nodded very seriously and obediently, and made up his mind to go to the tribe to find Zhiyuan to learn how to weave shoes after returning home.

They chatted and walked like this, and soon the two of them came to the halfway up the mountain.However, even though it was only in the middle of the mountain, it was still enough for Chen Ting to see the land he was currently in.

Looking from the middle of the mountain, it is less than 400 meters from the ground, which shows that the mountain is not too high.From the edge of the cliff where they are at the moment, they can see the tribes at the foot of the mountain quietly densely covered on the fertile land of the plain.Not far from the tribe is a big river, coming from a distance, galloping mightily towards the back of the mountain.Standing here and being blown by the wind, I can vaguely hear a familiar voice, which is familiar to anyone living in Hong Kong City.

"ocean?"

Chen Ting was a little startled. If his deduction was true, then this tribe was a perfect place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. The river not far away provided them with sufficient water resources, and the fertile The land, if it can be guided, may make their civilization and material life more advanced.

Thinking of this, Chen Ting suddenly realized what his main purpose for going up the mountain today was.He pulled Xiyu away from the cliff and retreated into the woods, continuing to observe all the trees.Xiyu didn't understand what he was going to do, but he was so comfortable being held by the hand, so he followed him obediently, but blinked his big eyes and carefully looked at the man who had lived with him for a long time, and suddenly felt that he had changed today. So different.

"There." Chen Ting, who had found the target, showed a hint of surprise on his stern face, and hurriedly led Xiyu there.

As far as he could see, there were four or five walnut trees growing.In fact, the walnut itself was not Chen Ting's target, his target was the rhizome of these walnut trees.When walnut tree roots are burned, some black crystals will appear at the end, which is regarded as a very important skill to supplement salt for survival in the wild.If his knowledge of how clean the library was when he was in college, he should be able to improve the food for the two people around him tonight.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily raised the corners of his lips, even Xiyu could tell that he was in a good mood.

"Is there anything wrong with these trees?" the little one asked curiously.

Chen Ting saw a white shadow flashing past in the corner of his eyes, and smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you tonight." He pressed his index finger to his lips, and said.
