The fairyland of crossing

Falling asleep at night, Chu Jin woke up instantly with a burning pain.

Chu Jin quickly tore off her clothes, and found that the gourd-shaped jade pendant she was wearing in front of her was emitting red light, as if it was on fire, and the scorching heat was brought about by this jade pendant.

She didn't understand what was going on, but Chu Jin still instinctively wanted to tear off this piece of jade first. Although it was very dark, she felt that this gourd-shaped mark must have been left on her body.

But it was miraculous, when Chu Jin was about to tear it off, the red color of the jade pendant instantly receded, the heat disappeared, and it turned into an ordinary jade pendant again, exuding a green luster, while The temperature left on the jade is almost the same as body temperature, as if it has never been hot, but the body temperature makes it feel warm.

What's going on here?

Chu Jin frowned slightly, looking at the jade repeatedly.But I didn't see anything special, as if the scorching heat was just Chu Jin's hallucination.

Knowing that there would be nothing to study for a while, Chu Jin simply stopped thinking about it for the time being, and waited to see if there was anything strange about the jade.

Because she woke up for a while, Chu Jin got up a little late the next day.However, because there is enough food, they don't have to go hunting and can take a rest.

The half piece of taro was used to make taro stew. After the two of them had a full breakfast, Qianlu came over and brought a few older orcs with them.

It turned out that this morning, Er Xiang told about the taro to a few families with good relations, many of them were elderly orcs and sub-beasts who did not have young orcs at home.So after discussing with a few people, they decided to dig some back today. This kind of labor would not trouble them, and they could also bring more and distribute them to those orcs and sub-beasts who couldn't go together because of inconvenient legs and feet, so that everyone could be full. Eat a full meal.

When I told the patriarch about this, the clan didn't take it too seriously and let them go.

Qianlu knew that road, but he didn't know where the taro grew, so he had to ask Suheng for help.

Suheng himself has become a lover of taro, even if these people don't go, he still wants to dig some taro this afternoon.So he readily agreed to Qianlu's request and took a few people with him.

Chu Jin didn't say anything, but just reminded him to be safe.Since Suheng likes it, he can do more, it doesn't cost much anyway.

Another fire was lit, and Chu Jin began to boil oil with the fat meat of the split-horned beast, and the meat of the split-horned beast began to be cooked in another pot. This time with the addition of green onions, Chu Jin believed that the taste of the jerky would be even better.

Both of these were slow work, so Chu Jin took the animal skins of mucao and dried soft vines and started to make straw sandals.Although he doesn't know how ordinary straw sandals are made, he has his own weaving method.He made two layers for the sole so that it can last longer.Chu Jin weaves the upper in the style of sandals, mainly because it feels relatively simple and saves time and effort.The insole is made of mucao animal skin without glue, so Chu Jin can only use thinner soft rattan to fix it around.These soft vines are strong, don't worry about breaking.

After weaving a pair of straw sandals, Chu Jin looked at them and felt very satisfied.

The oil has been cooled and put into the jar, and the meat has been cooked and cut, and it has been left to dry for a while.

Chu Jin put the pan with the base oil back on the fire, added some oil from before, and then threw the meat and green onion into it and fried it slowly over low heat.

This also takes some time, Chu Jin continued to weave the straw sandals while looking at the inside of the pot.The ones for Su Heng have already been made up, but he still needs to make up the ones for himself, after all, he doesn't know how long these shoes will last.

The fragrance wafting from the pot gave Chu Jin a sense of accomplishment, and some people who lived nearby also went out of their tents to have a look.However, because she was not familiar with Chu Jin, she didn't come to ask.

After weaving a section of soft vines, Chu Jin was just about to go to get another section when a red spot appeared in the corner of her eyes. After a closer look, it turned out to be Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu didn't get close, but just looked at it from a distance, seeming a little embarrassed.

Chu Jin smiled and waved at him.

Xu Zhu looked at Chu Jin, and was sure that Chu Jin really wanted him to pass, so she ran over with small steps.

Chu Jin gave up a place for him to lie down on, and then said with a smile: "When did you come? Why don't you just come here?"

"Seeing that you are busy, I am afraid to disturb you." Xu Zhu said in a low voice.

Chu Jin touched the top of his head, put aside the straw sandals he had just made, and said, "No need to bother you, just come here when you come later."

"Yeah." Xu Zhu nodded obediently, looking into the pot unconsciously, and sniffing.

Chu Jin thought that Xu Zhu who put all his thoughts on his face was cute, and said with a smile, "It's not ready yet, we'll have to wait a while before we can eat."

Xu Zhu hurriedly shook his head, "I don't eat."

"why?"

Xu Zhu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Grandpa said that food is very precious, you can't eat at other people's homes, it will cause trouble for others."

Chu Jin guessed that Xu Cang came here because he was afraid that Xu Zhu would stay at other people's homes to eat, and other people's food would not be enough, and secondly, he was probably worried that Xu Zhu would be considered ignorant and looked down upon by others if he stayed.

Chu Jin hugged Xu Zhu onto her lap and asked him, "What do you think of Su Heng?"

Xu Zhu replied without thinking: "Uncle Suheng is very powerful, he can support himself, and sometimes he can bring back very good food. I wish I could be like Uncle Suheng."

Chu Jin's smile deepened, "Yes, your Uncle Suheng is very powerful and has caught a lot of prey, so I want to invite you to have dinner together, is that okay?"

"Really?" Xu Zhu confirmed to Chu Jin with wide eyes.

"of course."

"Then...then I will eat a little less." Xu Zhu said.

Chu Jin pinched Xu Zhu's soft paw and said, "You can eat more. Yesterday your uncle Suheng told me that he liked you very much. We originally planned to pick you up for dinner today, but we didn't expect you to come here first." , it saves us an extra trip."

Xu Zhu shook his tail and said, "It's...really? In fact, Uncle Su Heng is very kind, and he even gave me honey to eat. However, many people in the tribe said bad things about him." Speaking of this, Xu Zhu couldn't help but lick licked his mouth.

"It doesn't matter what other people say, the important thing is that you think he is good, and I think he is good too, that's enough." Chu Jin said.

Xu Zhu thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Grandpa also thinks that Uncle Suheng is very powerful."

Chu Jin smiled and squeezed his paw again.Children's education is often influenced by their ears and eyes, because Xu Cang never looked down on Su Heng, never said that Su Heng was not good, so Xu Zhu would talk to Su Heng, and his opinion of Su Heng was different from most people.

The meat strips were almost fried, Chu Jin put down Xu Zhu, took out all the meat strips, and put the pot aside to dry.

Xu Zhu looked at the meat strips, his eyes straightened, but he was still very educated and didn't ask for it.

Chu Jin sat back to her original position and said, "You have to wait for it to cool down before eating, or you will burn your tongue."

Xu Zhu knew that this would be for him to eat, so he nodded obediently and looked forward to it in his heart, after all, grandpa wouldn't know how to cook this kind of thing.

"Where's your grandpa? Does your grandpa know when you come here?" Chu Jin asked.

"Grandpa went to find the bones, I didn't tell Grandpa to come to you, I only said to go out to play." Xu Zhucheng said.

Chu Jin nodded, thinking about eating early at noon today, so that he could send Xu Zhu back earlier in the afternoon, so as not to worry Xu Cang.

Looking at Xu Zhu's injured nose, the color of the wound is darker than yesterday, and it seems that it has begun to recover.

Originally, Chu Jin wanted to ask how Xu Zhu got hurt, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask. Children also have self-esteem, and there is no need for Xu Zhu to talk about some things if he can ask them from the sidelines.In the future, he will also look at Xu Zhu more and let him play less with those cubs who don't like him.After all, always being bullied will affect a child's self-confidence, which is not a good thing.

When the pot was a little cooler, Chu Jin went to the river to wash the pot, and when she came back, she saw Xu Zhu curiously pawing at Su Heng's straw sandals with her small paws.

Chu Jin didn't care, let him play for a while, set up the pot by himself, and took the remaining taro to clean.

After returning, Chu Jin sliced ​​the taro and turned the fire on.After the water in the stone pot dries up, apply a thin layer of oil, lower the fire, and put the taro in it to fry.

Taro is not difficult to cook, so slow frying over low heat can add a burnt aroma to the taro, and the taste will be more layered.

The meat strips were no longer hot, Chu Jin took one and handed it to Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu stared at the meat strips, swallowed, and transformed into a human form, took the meat strips carefully, and said softly, "Thank you brother."

After Xu Zhu became a child, he was not only cute, but also very good-looking. He was not tall, but was still very thin. The grass clothes were loose on his body, and his big eyes were innocent. Chu Jin liked it very much - he was so good-looking and sensible. kids, who doesn't love it?

"Suheng and I are of the same generation. Since you call him uncle, you should also call me uncle." Chu Jin corrected.

Xu nodded one by one, and took a bite of the meat strip. Although he didn't make any comments, he ate at a significantly faster speed, and he didn't even lift his head, so he ate very attentively.

Seeing that he liked it, Chu Jin put three more in a small bowl and put them by his hand for his convenience.

After eating one, Xu Zhu licked his fingers and said, "It's delicious! I've never eaten such delicious meat."

Chu Jin turned the taro over with a smile, and said, "But you can't eat too much before meals, I'll just give you this much first. Otherwise, you'll be full later, what about lunch?"

Xu Zhu looked at the strips of meat in the bowl, and said in a low voice, "I...I don't want to eat it. Can you wrap it up for me, I want to take it home for grandpa to eat."

Xu Zhu's filial piety also made Chu Jin soft-hearted and distressed, "You eat yours. I've done so much, and when you go back, I'll make some for me to take away."

Xu Zhu showed a big smile in surprise, and said, "Thank you uncle."

"Yeah." Chu Jin responded with a smile.

When Xu Zhu finished eating the meat strips, Su Heng came back just in time.

This time Xu Zhu not only brought back taro and green onions, but also some bird eggs.

"Uncle Su Heng." Xu Zhu called out obediently.

Seeing Xu Zhu, Su Heng's expression softened a lot, and he reached out to stroke his head.

Chu Jin smiled and said, "Go and wash your hands, we'll have dinner in a while."

"Okay." Suheng turned around and went to the river.

The shredded pork has already been cut. After Chu Jin poured oil on it, he made a large portion of fried shredded pork with scallions, and also cracked an egg into it by the way.

After Suheng came back, he talked to Xu Zhu for a while.

After the shredded pork was fried, Chu Jin served three bowls, only Xu Zhu had an extra fried poached egg in his bowl.

Putting the stone bowl in front of Xu Zhu, Chu Jin said, "Eggs are very nutritious, eat more."

"What does nutrition mean?" Xu Zhu tilted his head and asked.

"It just makes you grow taller and stronger." Chu Jin tried to speak as easy as possible.

After hearing this, Xu Zhu nodded immediately, "I will eat it."

Chu Jin then put a large plate of fried taro between the three of them, and began to eat in earnest.

Xu Zhu uses the spoon very steadily, and eats with special concentration.

From time to time, Suheng broke the taro slices into small pieces and put them in Xu Zhu's bowl, letting him eat them.

Looking at Su Heng like this, Chu Jin raised the corners of her mouth—in fact, although Su Heng looked indifferent, her heart was warm.He will be very careful and gentle, but these are only for those who treat him well.Outsiders naturally don't know, and there is no need to know.
