Cute Beast Food Garden

"Guji..."

Qi Yan stood there dumbfounded.At this moment, he showed unbelievable eyes, staring straight at the man's back.

When the man took out the blade from under his clothes before, he only felt a little more at ease compared to the isolated and helpless situation before, at least someone could face this tricky trouble with him; but now——at this moment, After he witnessed the man subdue the ferocious catfish with two sharp knives, Qi Yan understood that in this river, who is the real species that stands at the top of the food chain.

that man-

The bird stared at his back with enthusiasm, ran quickly with its thin legs, and rushed towards him.

This thigh, I hold it!

The man was busy fixing the catfish next to the big tree, when he suddenly felt an itchy leg, which seemed to have a fluffy touch.

He lowered his head, only to see the little red bird clinging to his thigh, with its small wings tightly hugged, its big watery eyes staring straight at him, with tears in it, full of envy and admiration.

"Um……?"

The man doesn't know why.He looked at the firm eyes of the little bird, thought for a while, patted the little furry head, lifted the bird from his lap, and placed it carefully on the bark.

Then, he picked up the blade at his feet, cut off a small piece of fish from the side of the catfish, and then moved it in front of the bird with two fingers.

"This piece is fish fin meat, which is relatively tender. You can try it."

Guji?

The bird blinked and blinked, not understanding why he put a piece of raw fish in front of him.It wasn't until the man smiled and turned around to eat the catfish again that Qi Yan realized: the man thought he was holding his thigh and was looking for him to eat.

Looking at the fresh, bloody raw fish in front of him, Qi Yan couldn't laugh or cry.But he didn't go to the man to "reason" right away. First, the man couldn't understand his so-called "guji" birdsong, and second, the man was working intently with his back to it. He squatted on the edge of the tree trunk, Busy with slowly cutting the huge catfish body with a blade, the edible fish meat was neatly cut and arranged neatly.

This huge predator has now become the prey of one person and one bird on the trunk, and will be their main food for some time to come.

Leaving aside the piece of fish that was dripping with blood, the little bird skipped past the man's back and ran to its own tree hole.Today's tree fruit has been eaten, but later, when the fish is grilled, there must be seasonings, Qi Yan himself can't bear to eat the fish without seasoning anyway.

"Cuckoo, cluck..."

While carrying the fruit, the birds sang cheerful songs.Three days after I met the Marshmallow Bird, it finally changed from the rough rattle of the cotton candy back to its own voice, singing softly.But along with this transformation, the fire-breathing technology it "stealed" from Marshmallow has also weakened day by day.

Busy preparing firewood for a while, the little bird was walking towards the end where the leaves were densely packed with characteristic small steps, when suddenly, it saw a strange stone it had never seen before.

"Guji?"

The bird opened its eyes wide, startled.During the time spent on the water, Qi Yan visited every corner of this tree trunk, he remembered every detail of this tree very clearly, but he never had any impression of this stone.

When did this stone appear here? Could it be brought up by a man?However, he had passed by the place where the stone appeared this morning, but he had never seen this weird thing at all.

The little bird moved closer, circled around the stone, looked at its appearance carefully, stretched out its wings, and carefully tested it.

The big hard stone looks flat on both sides and bulges in the middle, like a big dumpling made of stone.Touch the outer layer of the stone with your wings, unexpectedly not rough, but also very smooth, with dampness, most likely it is something that just floated out of the water.

The little bird raised his short legs and kicked the stone surface a few times with his feet, but the opponent did not move at all.

"Gee..." the bird grumbled, scratching its hair with its small wings.It tried to push the stone towards the water, but the guy stuck tightly to the bark. No matter how the bird kicked and dragged it, it seemed to grow on the tree and become one with the big tree. .

There was nothing he could do about the stone, so Qi Yan had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​pushing it into the water, turned around and ran towards the man.

When he returned to the man, Qi Yan found that there were several fish neatly placed behind him.The man's knife skills for cutting fish are very sophisticated, and it looks like he has been specially learned and practiced. The cut fish precisely bypasses the strong spine of the catfish shark, and removes all the intestines and other dirt.The cut fish sticks are neatly placed on the surface of the tree trunk, almost as delicate as sashimi.

Looking at the delicate and neat texture on the long strips of fish, Qi Yan really wished that he had a small dish of mustard sauce in his hand, and then dipped in the appetizing sauce, and swallowed the fish sticks one by one.

That's sure to be delicious!

The man finally finished his work temporarily, put down the blade, washed his hands in the river, and then wiped it on his face.After working for most of the morning, the man's bare upper body was covered with beads of sweat, and his skin looked smooth and healthy in the reflection of the sun.

Sitting on the spot and taking a few breaths, the man inadvertently turned his head and saw the little bird standing behind him.The bird was staring at the strips of fish he had just cut with great interest, and was smacking his mouth, obviously very hungry.

In a blink of an eye, he saw that the fish fin he had cut earlier was still intact on the bark, and the man looked at the bird in surprise.

"Didn't you eat that fin?"

The little bird nodded, and then continued to look eagerly at the long fish pieces.

The man frowned suddenly, his eyes locked on the little bird.After being silent for a while, the man pointed to the four pieces of fish in front of him and asked, "Which fish do you think cuts better?"

He was surprised to see that after hearing his question, the little bird actually began to think in a decent way, with one small wing on its hips and the other on its chin, its head tilted, completely It is the posture of human beings thinking about problems!

That's not all.After thinking for a while, the little bird suddenly jumped into the fish, and pointed at one of them with the tip of the wing that was holding its chin.

"Guck!"

The man was taken aback.

"Can you understand my question?"

The bird was immersed in the coveting of the delicious food, and didn't think too much about it, and nodded without thinking.

"Guji!" Replied casually, the bird leaned down and sniffed the perfectly cut fish he had chosen.

After a while, the bird noticed something was wrong.It raised its head and saw the man staring at him fixedly, his eyes full of surprise and vigilance.

I froze for three seconds.Then, Qi Yan came back to his senses.

Just now, I seemed to have a conversation with a man - as a bird.

In this world, if animals can understand and respond to human words, it should be considered a rare thing, right?If it were Qi Yan himself, he met a "human" animal in the wilderness, and he could clearly understand and answer his own questions, and he could also think like a human being, catch fish, and rescue him. You must feel that this "animal" is very problematic.

But now, the man's long and narrow eyes were looking at him without blinking.His eyes were no longer relaxed and casual, but locked on him directly, with the meaning of sizing up and being vigilant.Qi Yan didn't know if there were creatures with human nature in this different world—but judging from the man's expression, it was obvious that the bird he could only listen to was not an ordinary species.How should he see himself?

The bird opened its mouth, but said nothing.Seeing the man's stern and indifferent gaze, Bird stumbled back a few steps, his expression gradually panicking.

Suddenly, the man spoke——

"Are you a spirit beast in the mountains?"

Spirit beast?What is a spirit beast?Qi Yan was dizzy, he didn't dare to make a sound when he saw the man, let alone move around.

The man's scrutiny eyes relaxed a little.He looked at Xiaoniao and smiled slightly, and said: "Little fat bird, you don't have to be afraid. You saved my life before, I just want to know your origin, it's fine if you don't want to tell."

"Guji." The little bird stood there nervously, dodging his eyes in a panic.What did the man mean just now?Spirit beast... what is it?

The man said slowly: "I heard from my mother that there are some spiritual beasts in the mountains and fields, they are extremely intelligent and can communicate with humans." He tapped the surface of the bark lightly, "Little Don't be afraid of Hong, I have never seen a spirit beast with my own eyes before, and today's talk is indeed a little curious."

He raised his eyes, only to see that the little bird was also looking at him faintly, with a strange look in his eyes.

Qi Yan also stared at the man, recalling what he said just now. "Mother", "spiritual beast", "human race", and those polite words... There is a big difference from the way modern people speak.

Especially "mother"... In China in the 21st century, there should be very few people who call their mother "mother".And...Combined with his naturally loose long hair, the traditional characters on his left arm, and the special temperament that has been revealed from time to time during this period of time...

Qi Yan was shocked and his body shook violently.

He suddenly had a guess.The man in front of me probably doesn't belong to the modern age...or in other words, the world in front of me is actually an ancient time and space completely different from the modern earth!

Although he had a certain premonition before, when he really discovered this from the man, Qi Yan still had mixed feelings and mixed emotions in his heart.

Ancient, ancient... What does ancient mean?It means relatively uncivilized civilization, relatively undeveloped technology, but most importantly...

There was no WIFI in ancient times!

Oh no.Qi Yan shook his head, now his survival has become a worrying issue, there is really no need to think about WIFI.

While thinking wildly, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped the bird's little head twice.

"Little spirit beast, if you want to eat catfish shark strips, come and help me light the fire."

"Guji?"

The man took out two sticks of dry firewood from the bottom of the tree hole, both of which were important items carefully preserved by Qi Yan.

"There are burnt marks on the firewood." The man winked at the little bird, "I think you must have a way to warm the fire, right?"

You guessed it right... Qi Yan walked over waddlingly, and began to condense his breath from his abdomen, trying to suffocate a small flame.

Finally lighting the firewood with difficulty, the man got up to get the catfish strips to be grilled, but found...

"Hey, I just finished cutting up several catfish meats, why are there only three pieces left?"
