[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

08. Mandarin duck bath

Not far from Xiyu's stone house, there was a small stream flowing from the river. The place where Chen Ting originally planned to dig the hole was in the middle of the small stream and the stone fire, and they were very close to each other.Find a section of dead and broken bamboo from the forest and separate it from the crack in the middle, so it can be used as a tool for digging holes.Considering the size of the three of them, he naturally couldn't dig the pit too small, and Xiyu was too weak to help, so he taught him to open all the saponins he brought back, take out the dead inside and chisel it into mud, so that he could take it out later. use.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Chen Ting dug a soil pit and dug a canal from the side of the stream to divert water. After a while, half a pool of clear stream water was stored in the pit.Afterwards, he extinguished the fire on the pile of stones, and used two bamboos to push the stones into the pit. Chen Ting stopped when the stream was completely filled due to the volume of the stones.

"Come on." He stretched out his hand towards Xiyu, and picked up his son on the ground beside him to remove the dirty animal skin from his body.

"Ah... Ah Ting!" Xiyu was startled as he watched the originally cool stream gradually begin to rise in white mist.

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ting patted his hand soothingly, knelt down and pulled him to feel the temperature of the pool water.

"(⊙o⊙) Ah!" Xiyu suddenly withdrew his hand, unable to believe why the water became hot all of a sudden.

Chen Ting was amused by his appearance, and said: "The stones I burned before have already warmed up, now throwing them into the water is like boiling water with stones, and the water will naturally become hot.

"Oh." Xiyu nodded with a vague understanding.

"Come on, wash it while it's hot, otherwise the baby will get sick when it gets cold and dark after taking a bath." Chen Ting waited for Xiyu with his bare bottom son in his arms.

In the barbaric era when there was a shortage of doctors and medicines, things like catching a cold and getting sick could be regarded as life-threatening events.When Xiyu heard this, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he quickly took off the animal skin on his body and got into the water, and by the way, he ended up with the baby in Chen Ting's arms by the pool.

"Wow!" The young child was amazed and amazed when he took a bath in the hot water for the first time, while carefully holding Dad's palm, he tried to play with the water.

Chen Ting supported Xiyu to stand firm, then went to the side to get the saponins that had been smashed before, and applied some on Xiyu's wet hair.He had read in the book that saponins can be cleaned, but he was just guessing and feeling how to do it. In fact, he was not completely sure whether such a procedure could make these fruits achieve the effect of soap.

However, it may be his luck, although it does not produce as much foam as expected to achieve the cleaning effect, but the soap locust mud applied on the hair did make the dirt on Xiyu's head melt into black water, flowing along his body cheeks flowed into the pool.

"Dirty." Seeing that the originally clear pool water became a bit muddy, Xiyu seemed to realize something, and quickly avoided Chen Ting's hand, and wanted to wash her hair by herself.

"It's okay, I'll do it." Chen Ting firmly fixed his head with his big palm, so that he had nowhere to escape, and continued to wash his hair gently with his hands, until he saw that the dirt was almost removed, he scooped it up The water cleans him of what remains in his hair.

Xiyu watched his movements, and began to clean the baby in his arms who was having fun. The little guy is still young, so the dirt on his body is naturally unnecessary for adults. The little mud monkey has turned into a white, tender and lovely angel.

"Xiangxiang." The little thing moved his small nose and sniffed the scent, happily showing a few small canine teeth, and felt that the fragrance was very comfortable.

"Aren't Ah Ting washing?" Xiyu couldn't help asking, looking at his partner who had been squatting on the bank washing himself.

Chen Ting looked at his son, then at Xiyu who had already washed half of it, nodded, turned back to the room, took out a piece of animal skin and spread it on the grass by the pool, put the washed son on it and wrapped it Well, I also got out of the pool.

The territory occupied by a burly and strong man is naturally not comparable to that of a weak female and a child. When Chen Ting enters the water, the water in the pool is squeezed to overflowing, so the bodies of the two people in it are still inevitable. touched.

Xiyu was a little shy, and approached Chen Ting with soap locust mud on her blushing face, "Xiyu...Xiyu will wash it for you."

"it is good."

Chen Ting did not refuse either, and sat down against the wall of the pool so that Xiyu could wash his hair.

"Papa, papa!" After bathing, the comfortable baby was very uncomfortable being wrapped in animal skins, struggling back and forth, wanting to break free and crawl out to play.

"Baby, don't." Xiyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to wrap the animal skin tightly again, fearing that his son would get dirty again if he ran out.

Chen Ting, who was washing his hair by his partner with his eyes closed, frowned suspiciously. Ever since he came, he had heard Xiyu call 'baby, baby' all the time. It seemed that his son did not have an official name.Chen Ting always felt unaccustomed to screaming, and planned to choose a name for his son who had already been allocated under his own name.
