[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

66. Xiyu's Worries

Winter nights are always long, and the sky is still dark at about six or seven o'clock in the morning.But Ah Zhan, who lived with his hardworking father since he was a child, has a good routine that many children rarely have.Xiyu added more firewood to the kang in the hut in the middle of the night, until it was still warm, Ah Zhan stretched comfortably in the animal skin quilt, and woke up with a click of his mouth.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a strange face appeared in front of him, and Ah Zhan, who was still a little confused, jumped up.

"Ah!" He pushed that head.

The bald head tilted and turned back to look at him.

"Go away!" Ah Zhan remembered that this person bullied him yesterday, pouted and looked away.

The bald head stared at him without blinking as if he didn't hear it.

When Fuqiu was sleeping, he looked like the little fox who was with him before, but later the little fox fell asleep and never woke up, so no one was with him anymore.

"Ahhh..." He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Ah Zhan's little face.

Ah Zhan dodged unwillingly, staring at the man, "A Zhan doesn't like you, Zou Kai."

"West... West..." The bald head opened his mouth, and imitated Ah Zhan's pronunciation and spit out a word.

Ah Zhan pursed his mouth, this person is so strange, he can't even speak, but Abba said he was his elder brother, and wanted Ah Zhan to treat him well.

But he doesn't like Ah Zhan, and wants to take Abba away, Ah Zhan doesn't like it.

snort! ╭（╯^╰）╮

Ah Zhan got up and crawled to the foot of the bed to get his little clothes.The only cabinet in the house is used to store clothes, but for those that are often worn, Sanliu puts them in the corner of the kang for Ah Zhan.During this period of time, these people took turns to accompany Ah Zhan in the house, and it also saved other people from worrying about not being able to find clothes.

"Ahh..." The bald head watched Ah Zhan go to put on his clothes, and followed him, picking up a pair of A Zhan's trousers and trying to put it on.

But he is so much bigger than Ah Zhan, and the child's clothes can't be worn on his body. It takes a lot of effort to put one leg into the waistband of his trousers.

"No!" Ah Zhan ran over to snatch back his clothes, protecting him tightly behind him.

"Ah..." The bald head stretched out his hand towards Ah Zhan.

He doesn't understand, he also wants to imitate the hairball, why don't you give him something.

Ah Zhan huddled in the corner of the kang to protect his clothes, his bald head stuck in front of him and stretched out his hands eagerly, as if he would not give up unless he gave him clothes.

Although Ah Zhan was not loved by his father since he was a child, Xiyu has always loved him very much.Except for the time when he was surrounded by a group of adults in the tribe, no one had ever treated him like this before.

The big wet eyes stared at the bald head in front of him, and he cried out with a 'wow' when he curled his mouth.

Xiyu had just washed up and was preparing breakfast outside the house when he heard his son's earth-shattering cries coming from the cabin inside, and hurriedly put down the wooden spoon and ran into the house.

The little guy who was frightened by the cry of the fur ball was stunned on the spot, still maintaining the posture of reaching out, blinking his big eyes and not knowing what to say.When Xiyu ran in, he was still naked.

"What's the matter?" Xiyu walked to the edge of the kang, and looked at Ah Zhan, who was crying with aggrieved expression.

"Father." Ah Zhan stretched out his hand and threw himself into Xiyu's arms, "Ah Zhan doesn't like him, he bullies Ah Zhan." As he said, he pointed at the other party and complained.

Xiyu looked at the little guy who had just joined the family, and he picked up the trousers thrown on the bed by A Zhan, and wanted to put them on.

Xiyu understood immediately, hugged Ah Zhan with one hand, and touched the little guy's bald head with the other, "Do you want to wear clothes? This one belongs to my younger brother. My younger brother is young. You can't wear his clothes. Let me get you your clothes, okay?"

This little guy has been wearing Xiyu's clothes all the time, because they don't fit well, the sleeves and trousers are rolled up several times, and the waist can only be tied firmly with hemp rope, so as not to let the trousers fall down.Seeing him now, he is rare for Ah Zhan's more exquisitely crafted little clothes, but he reminded Xiyu to prepare some clothes that fit him.

While thinking, Xiyu picked up Ah Zhan and walked out.Seeing that he and Fuqiu had left, the little guy immediately dropped his torn pants and ran out naked.

Xiyu put Ah Zhan on the kang of his own room, fetched warm water and asked him to wash his face in a bamboo basin on the kang table, while pulling the little guy to the front of the cabinet to find some clothes that fit him.While being pulled by him, the little guy turned his head to look at Ah Zhan.

The fluffy little hands of the fur ball splashed the water on the face, looking very comfortable.While Xiyu let go to rummage things, he squatted down like a nimble monkey and ran up the kang, leaning over to the bamboo basin to wash his face like Ah Zhan.

It's just that Ah Zhan has been trained for a long time to wash his face, and he won't spill water even if he holds it in his hand.The little guy only saw the water splashing on his face, so he just scooped up the water and splashed it upwards, not only getting himself covered, but also wet the front of Ah Zhan's clothes.

Ah Zhan quit all of a sudden, holding his mouth and blinking his big teary eyes, and cried again with a 'wow'.

When Chen Ting returned home, he saw exactly this picture.Xiyu looked helplessly at the two children. The ignorant little guy was still dripping water, staring at the crying Ah Zhan, while his own son looked aggrieved and angry, clenched his fists He looked like he was going to fight.

"What's the matter?" Chen Ting asked out loud.

The memory of being locked up last night was still fresh in the memory of the two children. When they saw Chen Ting appearing, they immediately fell silent.The little guy shrank and squatted on the kang and hugged into a ball, and Ah Zhan even lowered his voice and looked aggrieved, looking at his father with big wet eyes.

Chen Ting sighed, he really had no way to deal with children.It seems that I can't bear to deal with the strict education I have had since I was a child on these two children.

What's more, Xiyu would not agree.

"A Ting."

Seeing that he came back soon, Xiyu let go of his worries all morning.I took the clothes I found and planned to put on the little guy, so I went out to prepare breakfast for everyone.

However, Chen Ting gave him a hand, walked to the kang and lowered his face, "Both of you forgot what happened last night? Do you still want to be punished?"

Being lifted naked out of the water and thrown into their hut, although they were not frozen, the two children were still afraid of being frightened by Ah Ting's tantrum.It's just that the little guy is ignorant and ignorant of personnel and affairs, so he feels curious when he sees A Zhan's every move.The instinct of imitation in human nature makes him always want to follow Ah Zhan to do things, but every time the result is a mess.

"Daddy." Ah Zhan was most afraid of Chen Ting. When he saw him angry, he didn't dare to cry anymore, "Ah Zhan was wrong." Abba taught him that if he made a mistake, he had to admit it, so that Daddy would like it.

The little guy looked back and forth between Chen Ting and A Zhan. He thought Mao Qiu's little face was cute, and when he smiled, he felt comfortable all over his body.But as soon as the man glared, Fuqiu became frightened.

Afraid...he doesn't like it!

"Ah, ah..." The little guy rushed to A Zhan's side, hugged him in his arms, jumped to the corner of the kang like a nimble monkey, shrunk his body to protect A Zhan while rushing towards Chen Ting The demonstrators roared twice.

Seeing his sudden movement, Xiyu and Chen Ting were stunned for a while, and suddenly they burst out laughing.

Xiyu shook his head, put down his clothes, gave his partner a look, and went out to prepare breakfast.And Chen Ting walked to the bedside, looking at the 'protected' son who was feeling uncomfortable and struggling desperately, and the little guy who looked like he was 'defending to the death' the food.

He couldn't help but think of the person in the tent and his entrustment.That person was right, this child really couldn't let it go any longer, otherwise it would only cause more harm.From the way he looked, he didn't even know what he was supposed to do as a human being.It was only because he was curious about Ah Zhan's actions that he simply imitated them, but in his heart, he didn't understand the meaning of them at all.

Why wash your face, why you wear clothes, why you get sick, he doesn't know anything.

"Lumbo." He called softly, reaching out to the little guy.

It was the man who gave him the name, which sounded very pleasant to his ears and was also catchy when he called it.

The little guy has been following him and Xiyu these days, so he can naturally feel that he doesn't have any malice.He was just a little scared looking at the fur ball, he didn't want to make the fur ball unhappy.

"Ahh..." He was expressing his request, not to frighten the hairball anymore.

Chen Ting seemed to understand what he meant, and nodded with a smile, "Come and get dressed, don't bother you, wash up obediently, we are going to have breakfast."

Ah Zhan is well-behaved, and when he heard that his father was no longer angry, he immediately laughed.When the little guy saw him smiling, he was immediately happy. He let him go and walked towards Chen Ting, obediently letting him get dressed.

After the two children were dressed and washed, Xiyu's breakfast was ready.I was still a little tired when I came back from the first day, and I had a simple breakfast.I just cooked some porridge with the sorghum brought back from the Limo tribe. This method was taught to him by Chen Ting. The vegetables saved in the autumn before are only cabbage and radish. Now they are the most delicious. , add walnut salt and mix together, and then serve with cakes baked with animal oil, which is refreshing and delicious.

After breakfast, Azhan went to the classroom of the new tribe as usual, and Ning Zhiyuan was in charge of this group of children today.Sanliu intends to let the children in the tribe master some simple herbal medicine knowledge. Ning Zhiyuan is responsible for one day of the course every seven days. He will find some recognizable herbs to show the children, and tell them the meaning of these herbs by the way. usefulness and usage.

Lun Bo didn't know what class was, but he watched Ah Zhan walking out carefully carrying the mud board that had just been soaked in hot water and softened in the morning, and he also learned to follow behind Ah Zhan in a decent way, and he didn't know if he would It would cause trouble, and Chen Ting also specifically told Ning Zhiyuan who went out together to take care of him more.

After the children left, Xiyu was busy cleaning the house.Although Zhiyuan and the others helped to clean the newly built house when they were away, it was always better to do it carefully by themselves. Xiyu planned to rearrange many places according to his own habits.Seeing that he had something to do, Chen Ting made him happy, so he sat on the kang with the book Sanliu in his arms and began to study it by himself.

Going out this time gave him a lot of understanding of this barbaric era. People here lived a simple life because they were backward, but it seemed that there were still some civilizations left over from this nirvana-passed earth.He saw the method of growing food, and also learned the technology of cultivating fungi. The sour fruit of Jita can be a good ingredient of vinegar as long as it is refined, and the wine-making technology of the Limo tribe shocked him even more.

What the Yanxi people don't know, there are still many tribes working hard to develop their own civilization and try to survive better.In the face of these, he also has more ideas about Yanxi's future development in his heart.

but……

The existence of Handa and his son is undoubtedly an obstacle!

Sanliu was very smart to divide the tribe into two, which saved him a lot of trouble. Then, in this winter when people have to recuperate, he intends to let the new tribe have a bigger step forward in terms of productivity and labor force. across.

In this first step, he took a fancy to the loom and waterwheel.He has borrowed Sanliu's book these few days, and he also intends to study the content in it carefully, and then pass on the method to Okur and the others. He will also make one and try it out while there is nothing to do in winter.

He was thinking on this side, while Xiyu on the other side also finished packing his things, ran out of the house and filled the firewood for the stove, and then came back to climb onto the kang, and read the book together beside him.

Chen Ting smiled, and rubbed the top of his partner's hair, "Xiyu seems to like this book very much."

"Yeah." Xiyu looked at it seriously, and he had already learned to recognize a lot of characters, which made it easier for him to read now. "A lot of flowers and plants in it can cure diseases, Xiyu wants to learn."

It is thanks to Xiyu's negative knowledge that they have gained so much in this trip.

Chen Ting was very supportive of Xiyu's eagerness to learn. He held his shoulders and made people cuddle in his arms, and accompanied him to read the content of the plant article.Xiyu had always been shy, and was blushed by him, but she couldn't bear to part with her partner's warm embrace, so she could only sit like this, feeling embarrassed and having to look seriously at the same time, it was really tiring.

More than half of the morning passed, Chen Ting was a little thirsty, he let go of Xiyu and took a clay pot to bring in water to cook. Xiyu looked at the small stove in the room that An Yichen had brought over this morning, and it seemed that it was very easy to burn. It's really convenient to have hot water and rice.

Chen Ting used firewood to light the fire, and Xiyu suddenly thought about what happened in the morning, so he asked.Chen Ting did not hide it from him, and told him everything except the real identity of the 'arsonist'.After Xiyu stopped seriously, he lowered his head and frowned, looking very distressed.

Chen Ting thought that he was always soft-hearted and would persuade himself to help those who had no food.In fact, when Luke hoarded him this morning, he didn't want to care about it.Just as he was about to leave, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.Although it wasn't a good idea, it really made Xiyu feel better to vent his anger, so he didn't mind using it.

He waited patiently for his partner's intercession, and just happened to push the boat along the way to show his idea this morning.

"Ah Ting, be careful." Xiyu thought about it for a long time, and then he worried about himself seriously.

"What am I careful about?" Chen Ting was so small, he carried Xiyu to the edge of the kang and sat on his lap.

Xiyu pursed her lips, frowned and shook her head, "The last time Ah Ting went out and came back injured, Xiyu was very worried."

What happened that time left a deep impression and hurt on Xiyu, so it was natural for him to be worried.It's just that Chen Ting couldn't figure out what this had to do with what happened this morning.

Xiyu seemed to know that he didn't understand, and shook his head again, "Ah Ting was injured and stayed at home. Xiyu wanted to find food for Ah Ting and Ah Zhan, so he secretly followed everyone out. But..." He suddenly stopped, as if He was hesitating whether he should say it or not, and in the end, "Handa can lie to people. Xiyu has seen it before. The elephant pig is very big. Handa said that he can't give it to others, and someone stabbed himself."

Xiyu couldn't hide the anxiety and worry on his face, what he said was not coherent, but Chen Ting understood the meaning.

There is a rule in the tribe that if a small group is injured during collective hunting, then the food they hunt does not need to be distributed into the collective food, and thus escapes the opportunity for secondary distribution.The original meaning of this is to take care of the injured clansmen.But if someone is greedy and deliberately hurts the members and gets a large animal, I'm afraid this intention is too sinister.

Chen Ting guessed that when Xiyu went out with the collective hunting team, he saw something without being guarded, so he was worried.

"So, Xiyu doesn't want me to take care of their affairs?" Chen Ting asked softly while hugging his partner.

If Xiyu doesn't want him to take care of it, it's even more logical for him, and it doesn't matter if he reneges on what he promised.

Xiyu was very embarrassed about this question, "Xiyu doesn't know."

He was very simple and direct, if he didn't let Ah Ting take care of it, he was afraid that many people would starve to death, but if he let Ah Ting take care of it, the Handa over there would scare him again.That's why he didn't know whether he should do this or not.

Chen Ting looked at him frowning, feeling distressed.Kissed him on the forehead, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry about anything, even if I take care of things over there, I won't let myself be deceived by them."

Speaking of this, Chen Ting's eyes turned cold. If he wanted to get something from him, it would be impossible without a good attitude.
