The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

The sun goes down.

The sky darkened a little bit.

After the little boy ate his portion of meat, he took the initiative to take the leaves containing the meat to the stream to clean it.

After the gray hairy dumpling had finished eating his portion of meat strips, the little boy took the initiative to throw the leaves containing the meat strips into the distance.

The leaf was pecked out by gray hair balls and had many small holes, so it could no longer be used.

The little boy threw it away and picked a whole leaf back, and put it away properly next to the pile of stone tools used to process food.

Then, the little boy took out a large leaf from behind the boulder, unfolded it, and spread it on the other side of the boulder.

From time to time, the gray hairy dumpling stepped forward to add to the chaos.

Arnold let them run around, but never stepped forward to help.

As expected, neither the little boy nor the gray hairy dumpling showed dissatisfaction with this.

Seeing this situation, Arnold couldn't help feeling even more satisfied.

Just when Arnold thought the little boy was about to fall asleep after laying out the big leaves, someone in the distance suddenly shouted a few words.

Although Arnold didn't understand, he could tell from the reactions of everyone that the person who made the sound was calling the humans in the gathering place to walk towards the river.

The little boy understood.

He first bent down to pick up the gray hairy ball and put it on another big leaf, then he quickly ran to Anol's side, grabbed one of his fingers timidly, and tugged towards the river, Signal him to get up and go to the river with everyone.

Arnold was a little curious about what they were going for, so he didn't refuse.

He lazily got up and went to the river with the little boy.

They were the last two to arrive here.

At this time, the group of people who arrived first had already found a good place, went down the river, and happily took a bath.

Everyone dared not go to the middle of the river, and there seemed to be orcs guarding the upper reaches, responsible for cleaning up the big mouth fish with sharp teeth in Hanoi.

In this way, those who arrived later could either live to scrub their bodies in the shallow water, or they could only walk downstream and find other good places to bathe in the water.

Arnold and the little boy are naturally among the latecomers.

The little boy hesitated to find a shallow water area with few people in the middle reaches, so that he could wash himself together.

Anol, however, held him back without hesitation, and walked downstream where there were very few people.

The little boy really wanted to take a bath in the cool river water, so he didn't let go of his hand.

Although the water speed in this river is not too fast, it is by no means slow.

Adults will definitely be able to stand firmly when they step in, but children will not be able to.

Arnold led the little boy to the shallow water area where the water level almost reached the opponent's waist, and asked him to stand still while supporting a large rock protruding from the water.

Then he let go of his hand, dived into the water, touched a stone with a suitable size and a stone slab with a suitable thickness, dug them out from the sand, moved one to the little boy's heel, and placed the other on the little boy's heel. not far downstream.

Afterwards, Arnold helped the little boy to sit on the rock behind him.

In this way, the water level in this area just rose from the boy's waist to his shoulders.

After the little boy was settled, Arnold took a few steps downstream and sat down on the other stone slab that had just been moved.

This stone slab is neither thin nor thick, and it is very suitable for sitting on the bottom of the river covered with gravel and silt.

Moreover, in this way, the water level in the area where he was located just rose from his thigh to his shoulder.

Except for the small flaw that the two legs can only lie flat and have nowhere to exert force, everything else is very good.

The water flow was a little fast, and it happened to take away all the loose sludge on his body and grass blade skirt.

There is just a big rock protruding from the water beside me, and I can lean on it to save effort if I have nothing to do, not to mention how leisurely it is.

Arnold soaked and scrubbed the dirt off his body and his messy hair.

They stayed in the water for a long time, and they didn't go ashore until there were few people in the water.

Of course, before going ashore, he didn't forget to scrub and wash the little boy before taking him up.

Taking a cold shower on a hot day is really refreshing! .

Arnold felt relaxed and in a great mood.

The little boy also seemed to be in a very good mood. From the time he started to help him take a bath, he kept talking non-stop, until the two of them got ashore and continued to talk non-stop.

Knowing that he didn't understand, he never gave up expressing his excitement in words.

Arnold didn't stop him, and sometimes even responded with ahhh.

So far, the little boy's attitude towards him has become closer than before.

Arnold only thought that the little boy got closer to him because he gave him a bath.

Little did he know that taking a bath only accounted for a small part of the reason, the main reason was actually because he had also taken a bath.

It's not that the little boy didn't want to get close to him before, but at that time he was covered in mud and it was too smelly. Once the little boy got close to him, he would be dizzy from the smoke. Even if he wanted to get close to him, he was afraid of being smoked to death by him.

Arnold couldn't smell the stench on his body, so he naturally didn't know the truth.

This can be regarded as a very beautiful misunderstanding, I hope Arnold will never realize that he has been so stinky before.

When the two returned to the big rock, Huimao Tuanzi had already fallen asleep.

The orcs still haven't returned.

The little boy finally shut up, and fell asleep beside the gray furball.

Arnold glanced at the people who were lying down one after another in the gathering place, and seemed to be about to fall asleep, and then lay silently on the big leaf that obviously belonged to him alone.

According to the memory left by this body, the orc would not sleep with him at night.

Arnold concluded from this that he was now safe.

Finally able to sleep well, Arnold relaxed his body and mind, and closed his eyes contentedly.
