[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

62. Secret life experience

After returning to the tent, Chen Ting boiled hot water in a casserole and asked Xiyu to give the child a simple bath.The little guy had never seen soap before, and when he saw the foam on the top of his head, he screamed in fright.Xiyu was amused by his funny appearance while comforting him. Chen Ting watched for a long time, shook his head helplessly, and ordered him to go out of the tent to cook a meal for the child.

That Limo tribe's whip was really powerful. The little guy didn't have any warm clothes on his body, and there were bloodstains on his smooth black skin.Along the way, Xiyu also collected a lot of herbs to stop bleeding. For internal use, Ah Ting boiled it into a potion, and for external use, smashed stones with animal skins and wrapped them on the wound.The child was in pain, but he was reluctant to leave Xiyu's embrace.Just lying on his lap, humming and trembling.

"Xiyu."

Chen Ting opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, holding two bamboo bowls in his hand.One is the boiled medicine, and the other is the vegetable paste he made simply, with some shredded roast meat added, it smells delicious.

The child was so hungry that when he smelled the food, he raised his head and arched his nose to look for it.Chen Ting put the rice away first, and just passed the medicine bowl over.

"Drink this." Xiyu took it and helped the little guy to feed him.

How could the juice made from several kinds of herbs smell good? As soon as the pungent bitter smell came out, the child shrank his body and hid.

"Ahhhhhh..." He pushed Xiyu's arm, trying to push that unpleasant thing away.

Xiyu was helpless, and was afraid that he would spill the medicine, so he put it aside, gently hugged him, and stroked his back to soothe his emotions.

"Xiyu knows that you are in pain, but you need to drink medicine when you are injured. This thing is very difficult to drink, but after drinking it, your body will not hurt so much. You have to be obedient. After drinking the medicine, Xiyu will give you Xiangxiang The mush made by Ah Ting is especially delicious."

Xiyu's tone was unhurried, and it reached the child's ears softly.The pair of big hands on the back was the warmth he had never felt before, accompanied by the fragrance of this person, he liked it very much.

"Ah..." He rubbed against Xiyu's chest with a docile expression on his face.

Xiyu smiled, took the bamboo bowl and handed it to him, "Drink it in one gulp, and you won't feel so uncomfortable."

The child looked up pitifully, staring at the bowl in Xiyu's hand as if staring at a huge beast.

But the eyes of the person looking at him are so gentle, if he doesn't drink, will that person stop smiling at him?

The little guy hesitated again and again, but finally made a painful decision, closed his eyes and opened his mouth, followed Xiyu's hand and drank the bitter medicine in the bamboo bowl in one gulp.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." He opened his mouth and yelled, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Xiyu was amused by his appearance, quickly put down the bowl, took out a bamboo tube containing applesauce from the rattan basket he brought, dug out a spoonful and put it into the little guy's mouth.In an instant, the fragrance of apples and the sweetness of honey spread in the mouth, quickly dispelling the bitterness of herbs.The little guy closed his mouth and sucked the applesauce in his mouth. The sauce slowly melted with his saliva and flowed down his throat.

The little guy looked surprised, clicked his mouth twice, and repeatedly thought about this delicious food that he had never eaten before.

"Is it delicious?" Xiyu asked him.

"Ah..." The child nodded quickly.

Xiyu smiled, and handed the other bamboo bowl that Chen Ting handed over to him, "Eat the rice first, and then eat applesauce, okay?"

Such a big child, if he was mature and sensible in the tribe, he would be old enough to go hunting with adults.But the child in front of him was ignorant and ignorant because he lived in the wilderness with no one to take care of him, and he would be pleasantly surprised even just because he ate fresh food.Looking at him, Xiyu always thinks of his Ah Zhan.Only when Ah Zhan has his own care and company can he live a happy life.But if he left by himself, what would the child do?

Xiyu frowned, falling into inexplicable distress.Chen Ting watched from the side, how could he not understand his partner's thoughts.It's just that there are too many suspicious things about this child, he can't feel at ease, how can he allow Xiyu to bring this child with him.

"Does Xiyu want to take a bath?" Chen Ting didn't want to see Xiyu's frowning face, so he talked about something else to distract him.

They just simply wiped Xiyu's body after they made love just now, but now that the child is dirty again, they might as well take the opportunity to take a bath.

"Okay." Xiyu looked at the little guy and nodded in agreement.

The earth pit outside the tent was dug a few days ago when they took a bath, just fill it with water and heat the stones.

Xiyu stayed with the child in the tent, while Chen Ting went out to burn stones.The hyena tiger was woken up by the noise just now, but now seeing that the masters are all right, they snored around the stone pile and fell asleep again.In the tent, the little guy couldn’t wait to ask for applesauce after eating. Xiyu felt sorry for him and would not refuse at all. He simply let him dig the spoon to eat by himself. He drinks some hot water.

In about an hour, Chen Ting's stone was burnt.The little guy didn't want to leave Xiyu for a moment, he followed behind and stood by the puddle, watching Xiyu wash in it, and would scoop up water and pour it on him, he was very obedient.The two of them played in the water and quarreled for a long time before they finished the bath. Chen Ting spread an extra layer of animal skin and asked Xiyu to sleep in it with the child. in my arms.

The three of them slept soundly that night. The little guy looked wild and wild, but he was very obedient and obedient.Probably because since he was sensible, no one has treated him as tenderly as Xiyu, and his heart is full of dependence on this warm embrace.When he got up in the morning, Xiyu took him to wash, and with the help of Chen Ting, his long nails were trimmed neatly. Putting on Xiyu's winter clothes, there was really nothing wrong with him except for the inappropriate length.

In the morning, Chen Ting still took Xiyu and Lihu out to look for ingredients, but this time there was an extra child who was familiar with the surrounding environment, and they made many new discoveries.There is an orange tree in the depths of the woods, and the size of the tree is also quite old.The yellow and clear fruits are full of trees, and each one is as sweet as honey.Xiyu picked half of the basket and planned to take it to eat on the way back.Keep the spit out seeds and bring them back to Yanxi Maybe they can try to grow orange trees too.

After lunch at noon, Li Mo's tribe came to Chen Ting, saying that their leader had returned and wanted to see him.Chen Ting explained a few safety issues to Xiyu, and then followed the clansman to the tribal center.The stone house where the leader lives is the largest in Limo, and the interior construction and furnishings are not as simple and casual as ordinary people. There is even a stone bed in the innermost part covered with a very delicate white animal skin.

Chen Ting frowned indiscriminately. For some reason, this animal skin reminded him of the female Xiyu mentioned.

"Ah Ting, this is the leader of Limo, Thrall." Priest Huo Tan stood up first and introduced him.

Chen Ting followed his hand and looked over, there was a man wearing black animal skin standing at the main seat of the room, with a tall and muscular figure, and his brown skin showed a healthy luster.This person looks good, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a vaguely domineering expression, facing the guests in the tribe, he did not show a smile.

"Boss, this is the one I told you about, the only son of Yanxi's former boss, Ah Ting." Huo Tan turned to Sal.

Sal also looked Ah Ting up and down, and seemed to appreciate the calmness shown by the man in front of him, and his sharp expression softened a bit.

"Hi, welcome to Limo." He saluted.

Chen Ting returned the salute and said, "Chief Sal, you are welcome. We have received a lot of care from the Limo tribe this time. We are very grateful."

Saar nodded slightly, pointed to the seat beside Chen Ting, and then the two sat down, followed by several other people in the room.Chen Ting glanced secretly. Except for Priest Huo Tan, the other four were men who were about the same size as Sal. The same dark skin showed that they were engaged in outdoor labor all year round.But they looked different from the general tribe, and being able to sit here with the leader and priests to see him also showed their status in the tribe.Yanxi has always been led by only the leader and priests. If there is a need to meet outsiders, the tribe members are not allowed to participate.Conversely, in many tribal decisions and affairs, only leaders and priests are involved.If there are disagreements, there will be a stalemate.

Maybe... the four people in front of me are the difference between Limo and Yanxi.

After Saar sat down, he said to Chen Ting, "I heard Priest Huotan say that Yanxi wants to exchange the way my tribe brews grain wine?"

"Yes." Chen Ting nodded, this is also the reason why he has been stranded in Limo.

Sal nodded, and said: "The method of brewing grain wine is not something I have kept in Limo's possession. It happened that a homeless person passed by Limo before, and he taught this method. But since it is to be exchanged, I don't know what Yanxi will exchange with us?"

Chen Ting thought for a while, and said: "Limo has a lot of ingredients that Yanxi doesn't have. In this regard, we probably can't come up with better ways to exchange food and wine with you. And the two kinds of medicinal ingredients we got before Seeds, also exchanged sorghum and glutinous rice with Limo, and now there are really no good ingredients. However, a female in our tribe invented a soap before, which can play a cleaning role and add a lot of convenience to life. This Instead, you can use it to exchange grain wine brewing methods with Limo."

"Soap?" Thrall's eyes lit up, "I don't know what this kind of thing looks like?"

Ah Ting took out a piece of Xiyu's leftover soap from his animal skin bag and handed it over, "Leader Saar can take a look, this is the one I carry with me. My partner added some soap during the cooking process. The sweet-scented osmanthus is inside, he usually uses this to wash his face and hair, it's very convenient."

Sal took it and studied it carefully, then put it under his nose and smelled it, and it really smelled very fragrant.He glanced to the side, and a man sitting far away at the door stood up, went out and brought back some water in a clay pot.Priest Hotan wet his hands and put some soap on them.Soap without other additives naturally cannot produce too much foam, but the thin layer of bubbles also surprised several people in Limo.Under Chen Ting's guidance, Huo Tan rubbed it up and down a few times, and then rinsed it with clean water. Sure enough, he found that his hands became abnormally clean. When he smelled it carefully, there was a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

"This is really a good thing." Thrall took the soap and couldn't help praising it.

Chen Ting nodded slightly, and said: "If Chief Saar is satisfied, I can ask my partner to teach this method to the females of the tribe. As long as I collect enough saponins, I can make it. And if there are no saponins near Limo, we can still do it." Provide the seeds."

Sal paused for a while while flipping through the soap. He frowned, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, he smiled and handed the soap back to Chen Ting.

Chen Ting was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect that the other party would not agree.

"Yanxi is really good. The pharmacists in the tribe always say that the tribe's body is too dirty, and some children will get sick after eating with their muddy hands. I believe it will be much better with this, but..." He He deliberately paused, seeing Chen Ting's attention drawn to him, "Compared to the problem that can be overcome by washing hands frequently, I'm more interested in another thing about Yanxi."

"What?" Chen Ting frowned.

Sal said: "I heard that you have been hunting nearby these days, using a very strange weapon? Although I have never seen anything before, but hunting animals is very precise, and you don't have to get too close, and you don't need to get too close. very safe."

Chen Ting was startled, and then realized that the other party was talking about his own bow and arrow.Indeed, as Thrall said, he used the bows and arrows he brought for hunting these days. After shooting the prey, it was much more convenient to recover the bamboo arrows than the stone spears used by some people in Limo.

only……

Chen Ting glanced at Sal. Although the other party was expressionless, the expression in his eyes gave him a feeling of being calculated.

His face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "This weapon is something I, Yanxi, use to save my life. Is Chief Saar planning to exchange it from me with a grain of wine?"

"Not only the brewing method of grain wine, but also twenty cans of wine we have already brewed, as well as the grain materials and seeds needed for these wines. I will use the sweaty cattle in the tribe to pull the wooden boards to load these things, and then You go to Yanxi together."

Hanniu is an animal on a grassland far east of Limo, and its shape is more like a yellow ox.But the size is not big, but the strength is amazing. Limo has always regarded them as auxiliary labor.

Chen Ting fell silent. Sal's offer was indeed very generous.For Yanxi, more food seeds will only make their food and clothing more secure.However, in the face of such an ambitious and secretive Thrall, if he taught Limo the method of bamboo bow and bamboo arrow, would it become a huge threat to Yanxi in the future?

Chen Ting was still unable to make a decision, Sal also seemed to see his hesitation, and said, "Maybe you would rather take a look at the can of wine I mentioned." He raised his hand while speaking.

Another clansman went out, and soon came in with three people carrying a clay pot.Chen Ting couldn't help being surprised when he saw the jar lifted by the three of them.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Thrall seemed very proud of Chen Ting's expression.

Chen Ting thought to himself, even if the food Limo gave and Yanxi's own could make them brew baijiu, there still had to be a fermentation process.But the volume of the can of wine in front of him is enough to prove the amount of alcohol in it, but this can is enough for ten men to drink for half a month.And his original plan was to let the clansmen in the tribe who went hunting in winter and guarded and patrolled at night drink a little to keep out the cold. Twenty cans of wine would definitely allow them to survive the winter.

"Okay." Chen Ting made a decision, "Exchange the recipe for brewing grain wine with the method of making bows and arrows."

Thrall stood up and smiled for the first time, "I believe we will have a great time working together."

Chen Ting's eyes flashed, and he narrowed his eyes to quickly hide the displeasure in his eyes.No matter what the final result is, it can't change the fact that he hates this man very much.

In the following day, Chen Ting took the four men selected by Sal to make a few bows and arrows, and taught them the methods in detail during the process.Huo Tan took a few females in the tribe and prepared the things they agreed to exchange on a wooden board. The board was surrounded by wooden strips and fixed, and the front end was tied to the sweat cow through two thick hemp ropes.As long as you are not climbing mountains and wading along the way, you can walk safely with your things.

Xiyu was also very busy this day, and when he heard Ah Ting said that he would be leaving in two days, he planned to take care of Li Ya again.His health has just improved, and he can't rest assured.There were some herbs available outside the tribe, so Xiyu picked a lot and put them outside Li Ya's tent to dry.And told him to take it back in a few days, and if he coughed, he would cook some and drink it.

When Xiyu was talking to Li Ya in the house, the child was lying outside the tent with Hyehu.At noon that day, Chen Ting wanted to make some more bows and arrows with those people, so he told Xiyu not to prepare his lunch.Xiyu was too lazy to run back, so he simply made it in Li Ya's tent, and then stayed here for dinner.During this trip with Ah Ting, Xiyu also learned a lot of new cooking methods.Many females of the Limo tribe will use flour to make dough, and then use a round stick to roll it into thin sheets, then cut into thin noodles, and cook them in water with meat and vegetables. Cooked, the aroma of meat and vegetables is also integrated into the soup, with seasoning added, it is delicious.

Li Ya was too weak to get out of bed, so she just leaned on the pillow and gave verbal instructions.Unexpectedly, even so, Xiyu learned very quickly. Although there were times when he couldn't grasp the ratio of water and noodles and made it thin, he was able to make up for it at the end.

After serving it, he gave Li Ya a bowl first, and smashed the noodles inside with a spoon, making it easier to eat.It's just that before the second bowl was filled, there was a snoring sound from outside the room.The little guy and the hyena tiger guarding outside the tent were all drooling from the scent, and they hid in the crack of the curtain to watch secretly.

Xiyu burst out laughing, filled a bowl and beckoned to them, the two rushed in with a whoosh, each guarding a bowl of Siri Hulu and started eating.

Xiyu shook his head, and was about to fill another bowl for himself, when he heard the sound of the bowl falling to the ground.The sound of the bamboo bowl hitting the ground was muffled, but it was a pity that the newly made noodles were all inedible.

"Is Li Ya okay?" Xiyu put down his bowl, and hurried to the bedside to check whether Li Ya's body was scalded by the hot soup.

"He..." Li Ya's whole body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes widened in shock, and he looked at the little guy lying on the ground eating noodles with Hyehu not far away.

Seeing him trembling, Xiyu thought he was scalded, and hurriedly got up to get the healing herbs.

"Xiyu." Li Ya grabbed him, his eyes were full of pleading, "let me meet your partner, please, let me meet him."

"Ah Ting?" Xiyu asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Li Ya nodded, holding Xiyu's wrist tightly, begging and shaking, "Please, let me see him."

"Oh..." Xiyun nodded hesitantly, worried about Li Ya's abnormal behavior, and got up to find Ah Ting in a hurry.

Chen Ting was found by Xiyu at Saar's house. His little friend seemed very anxious, and he couldn't even explain clearly when he pulled him, but just motioned him to follow him.Chen Ting was worried, apologized to Sal in a hurry, and followed Xiyu all the way back to Li Ya's tent.

This is actually his first time here. To be honest, Xiyu's description is not exaggerated at all. It is rare to see such a beautiful tent in this barbaric era.He hesitated a little at the door, after all, there was only a single female living inside.However, the anxious Xiyu didn't give him a chance to question, so he dragged him in.

The atmosphere in the room was also really weird, Li Ya was still leaning on the pillow, staring at the little guy lying on the ground eating noodles with wet eyes.When Xiyu left, he told him and Lihu to stay here, and they obeyed and did not move.

When Chen Ting walked in, Li Ya's gaze moved away from the little guy, and when she saw Chen Ting, her eyes lit up.

"Xiyu." Li Ya stretched out her hand and handed out the clay pot she drank from, "I want to drink some hot water, can I trouble you to boil some for me?"

Because the tent is made of animal skins, there should not be too many fires lit inside.The only fire source was still cooking noodles, so Xiyu could only choose the fire outside the house if he wanted to boil hot water.

Chen Ting frowned unobtrusively, watching his partner walk out with the water bottle without any doubts.As soon as the curtain of the tent was drawn, Li Ya threw off the quilt, turned over and knelt down towards Chen Ting.

"Please, help me."

"..."

Xiyu was boiling water outside the house while packing up the sun-dried herbs.They are leaving tomorrow, so keep these for Li Ya, he can use them later.Before the work here was finished, the curtain of the tent over there was pulled up, and Ah Ting walked out with the little guy and Hyena Tiger.

"Is the water ready?" He sat down beside Xiyu.

"Yeah." Xiyu nodded with a smile, picked two dried chrysanthemums and threw them into the kettle.

Chen Ting watched the small white chrysanthemum bloom in the water. As the temperature infiltrated the petals little by little, they slowly sank to the bottom of the water. The originally clear water turned a light yellow.

He sighed, "Xiyu, do you like this little guy?" He said, rubbing the bald top of the child who was snuggled beside Xiyu.

"Xiyu likes it." My partner nodded honestly.

He was a kind person in the first place, not to mention that this little guy was pitiful. The two of them had been together for the past few days, and their relationship might have grown deeper.

Chen Ting glanced inside the tent, sighed again, and suddenly felt that fate was really strange.

"Does Xiyu want to bring him back to Yanxi?"

"Bring back Yanxi?" Xiyu blinked and looked at his partner in surprise.

Chen Ting smiled, and kissed him on the face, "A Zhan has always been alone, and the baby in the three or six families is still young, maybe take him back, he can be their brother, and he can protect A Zhan and the baby in the future. "

Xiyu's face was filled with joy, and he nodded hurriedly, "He will definitely be a good brother, and Ah Zhan will also like him."

Seeing him happy, Chen Ting let out a deep breath and hugged his partner into his arms.

In fact, he himself didn't know whether this decision would lead to trouble, but if he let it go, I'm afraid Xiyu would be sad.

and……

He glanced at the little guy who was rubbing back and forth on Xiyu's lap like a cub.

Seeing a child live like a wild animal for the rest of his life, he probably couldn't bear it.

The next day, Chen Ting pulled the things and the bullock cart that Li Mo had prepared for him into the forest early. The excuse was that his partner still needed to find some ingredients inside, so he asked Xiyu, the little guy and the hyena tiger to wait there.And he returned to Limo after sunrise, bid farewell to the leader Thrall and priest Huo Tan, and then left Limo openly under the eyes of everyone seeing him off.

After returning to the forest, he didn't dare to stay at all, and immediately drove the ox cart back with Xiyu and the child back and forth.

In the Limo tribe, Thrall dismissed the gathered tribe and went to the deepest part of the tribe by himself.The gorgeous tent built here was built by himself, and every precious decoration inside was brought by him at the risk of his life, only in exchange for a concerned look.

However, from beginning to end, people who will not change will never be able to change.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing him walking in, Li Ya took two steps back guardedly.

Thrall looked him up and down, showing a cruel smile, "I didn't expect that Ah Ting's partner would have some way to make you recover from illness and stand up this season."

"Hmph." Li Ya sneered, and said, "Did you disappoint? Originally, if you let me continue to fend for myself like this, I would completely disappear from your eyes in a short time."

As soon as he said this, Thrall's black eyes instantly changed several kinds of luster, and finally turned into a deep ink color, invisible.

He took a few steps closer, and rudely raised Li Ya's thin chin, "I haven't seen you for so long, it seems that you have learned a lot from outsiders."

Li Ya looked at him bitterly, and said angrily, "Go, I don't want to see you."

"Let me go? Hehe..." Sal leaned over to Li Ya's ear, bit his earlobe and said viciously: "The guy alive in the woods is nowhere to be found, do you know where he went? ?”

Li Ya's whole body froze, as if she had been shocked by an electric shock.

Thrall sneered and said, "If I leave this tent now, I will immediately let the warriors in the tribe catch up with Ah Ting. At that time, what do you think they will bring back?"

"You bastard." Li Ya glared at Sal angrily and cursed.

Saar dismissed him, pushed Li Ya down, then took off his clothes, and leaned over his thin body.

"You're right, I'm a jerk. So you better listen to me, or I don't know what else I can do."

He quickly removed Li Ya's clothes, completely ignoring Li Ya's stiff and resisting body, fiddled with her a few times before pushing in.After tossing in Li Ya's body for a long time, seeing that person was so weak that he was only panting, he let go of him and released him into Li Ya's body.

"Remember, I let him go with that thing. But if you run away from me, I will definitely catch him back again."
