Quiet Night Thought of Ancient Sword and Qi Tan

Murong Jing followed the monkey to a cave.

Tsk tsk, the most indispensable thing in the mountains is caves?Murong Jing looked carefully at this place.

This cave is so big that it can accommodate the entire group of monkeys. There are some rocks inside, and there are some gaps in the mountain above to let some light shine through, so although the whole cave is very large, it is not very dark.

Just after noon, most of the monkeys went to play in the forest, and there were not many monkeys in the cave.When these monkeys saw Murong Jing, they all looked at Murong Jing in place and screamed.

Murong Jing ignored them. In the depths of the cave, there were two large natural pits, which happened to be the places where the monkeys stored food.The two big pits were a little far apart, one was filled with freshly picked fruits, and the other was filled with rotten fruits.

The closer you get to the rotten pit, the more you can smell a pungent smell.

"Is this... the smell of alcohol?" Murong Jing covered her nose and slowly approached the rotten pit.

Some flies landed on the rotten fruits, and when Murong Jing approached, she was startled.

"My God..." Murong Jing waved it in disgust, "These monkeys know how to pick out rotten fruits, why don't they know how to throw them away?"

【Who knows...】

"It smells so strong, how can there be wine here?"

【…】

"It seems... these fruits have been spoiled for a long time, and they have become fruit wine?"

[What you said makes sense. 】

Murong Jing scratched her hair, stepped forward and took a handful of water from the pit to her mouth.

"Very sweet...slightly spicy." Murong Jing smacked her lips: "But it's delicious."

[Is this the taste of wine? 】

"It seems to be..." Murong Jing looked at these rotten fruits and sighed: "It's just that the environment is too bad..."

[If it weren't for this, there would be no way to produce fruit wine. 】

"makes sense."

Murong Jing looked around, there was really no container that could hold the liquid, so she had to give up the idea of ​​transferring the fruit wine.

"Anyway, you can come here to drink whenever you want." Murong Jing wiped her mouth and drank another handful.

【Hey, drink less. 】

"It's okay, just drink a little more, it's really delicious."

【…】

The stamina of the naturally brewed fruit wine is not so strong, and Murong Jing is still young, although she doesn't drink much, she starts to feel dizzy after a while.

[Hey... are you okay? 】

"Me? I... I'm... nothing..." Murong Jing's face was red, her footsteps were flimsy, and she fell to the ground, and then... there was no more...

【Hey... are you just sleeping like this?Wake up! 】

———————————— I am the dividing line of the second day ——————————————

"Ah... my head hurts..." Murong Jing covered her head and turned around.

【you're awake? 】

"Hmm..." Murong Jing sat up with difficulty, and looked around dimly: "Where is this?"

[Monkey's cave. 】

"The monkey's cave? How did I get here? Could it be that they knocked me out and carried me here?"

【...You came here by yourself. 】

"Ah? I..." Murong Jing tapped her head, her mind became clearer, and she recalled the things before she fell asleep.

"Drinking is a mistake, the ancients never deceived me..."

[You have the nerve to say it!I don’t know who said yesterday that it’s okay to drink a little! 】

"This... after all, I haven't drunk it..."

【cut! 】

Being despised by Xiao Jing...Murong Jing feels lost for a while.

When he stood up, he saw a group of monkeys surrounding Murong Jing not far away.

"This group of monkeys... I don't know what they are thinking, what is it they want to bring me here?" Murong Jing pouted.

【Who knows. 】

"Gollum..."

Murong Jing rubbed her stomach: "I'm so hungry."

I've been eating fruit for several days, let's go out and hunt.Thinking of this, Murong Jing dragged the water off, and left the cave under the eyes of all the monkeys.

In the next few days, Murong Jing became neighbors with this group of monkeys, dropping by when they had nothing to do, and lived a peaceful life.

Soon it will be winter.

Murong Jing dried a lot of jerky in the autumn, and made bowls out of tree stumps that had been emptied by insects, and built a small stove with stones. In winter, she boiled the jerky into a bowl of thick broth with snow water.Although the lack of seasoning tastes a bit worse, it is also very pleasant to drink a bowl of hot broth in winter.

"Woooooo..." A little yellow hairball came to Murong Jing's side.

"Xiaohu, wait a little longer, and I'll give you broth!" Murong Jing patted Xiaohu's head.

The little tiger is a little tiger picked up by Murong Jing, talking about the process of picking it up, Murong Jing still sighs for a while.

That day Murong Jing ran a little far to chase a rabbit, but she was lucky enough to witness the scene of a tiger fighting a pack of wolves.

A full-grown tiger was fighting fiercely with five wolves, and the beasts already had some blood on their bodies.

What's the situation?Is this tiger seeking death or those wolves seeking death?

How could it be so good... don't want to live anymore?

Murong Jing hurriedly found a safer place to hide, so as not to harm her poor passer-by.Although it is said that there is a jade pendant to protect him, it can save one thing and one thing.

The battle situation was extremely tragic, and the final outcome was that both sides suffered losses.

On the contrary, Murong Jing got a big deal.

The corpses of the six beasts were lying there, and Murong Jing's first reaction was that the fur coats for the winter had arrived!He hurriedly dragged the broken water and ran to a wolf's body, and began to prepare for skinning.

"Woooo..." Suddenly a small voice caught Murong Jing's attention, and Murong Jing put down the wolf's body and walked towards the place where the voice came from.

A small yellow ball of hair appeared beside the big tiger.

"Xiao Jing, there is actually a little tiger here!" Murong Jing was dumbfounded.

【The child of that big tiger, how pitiful, he lost his family at such a young age...】

"Uh... yeah, it's a bit like us..."

Murong Jing stretched out her hand and grabbed the little tiger. The little tiger was still very small, and was held by Murong Jing in her hand like a kitten.

The little tigers still didn't understand what happened, they stared at Murong Jing with two bright black eyes, one person and one tiger stared wide-eyed like this.

After a while, Murong Jing wiped her eyes: "Compared to staring at it... my hands are sore from holding it..."

【...Who made you stare at it. 】

Murong Jing put down the little tiger sheepishly: "Your relatives were killed by these wolves, don't rely on me."

The little tiger sat obediently on the ground and watched Murong Jing peel the skin. After a while, he walked up to the big tiger, licked the tiger's eyes, then curled himself up into a ball, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Here Murong Jing managed to finish skinning a wolf, turned around and saw the little tiger sleeping next to the big tiger's corpse, she couldn't help but stop.

"It doesn't know it's dead yet?"

[Maybe, it's only so small, what do you know. 】

Murong Jing looked at the sky, and dragged the peeled wolf skin back to the cave.

【You just threw it there? 】

"What else? Bring it back? That's not a cat or a dog, it's a tiger! Besides, we can't afford it."

【But it's so small now, if you don't take it back, it will die.Also, didn't that big tiger give you five wolves and himself?You were still worrying that a bear skin could sleep but not survive the winter, but now you have five wolf skins and one tiger skin! 】

"This is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. If it grows up under shelter, it will never be able to become a real beast."

[But it must be given a chance to grow up!Just die... Isn't that the same as us? 】

Murong Jing stopped making a fire.

The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker.

"First of all, I'm not that kind. I wouldn't have come back if you hadn't kept nagging me." Murong Jing muttered, "It's been so long, I guess it's gone."

[Oh, I got it, I got it.Just come back and have a look, what if it doesn't leave? 】

"It's stupid! It..." Murong Jing froze for a second.

The little tiger was still lying there, motionless.

"It... won't die..."

[How come, look, there is still the ups and downs of breathing, go and have a look! 】

Under Xiao Jing's reminder, Murong Jing saw that the little tiger's body was still slightly undulating, and hurried to its side.

Xiaohu seemed to be still fast asleep, after being picked up by Murong Jing, he changed into a comfortable position in Murong Jing's arms and continued to sleep.

"..."

[Look, how cute it is! 】

Some inexplicable emotions flashed in Murong Jing's eyes, but they disappeared soon.

From then on, Murong Jing had an extra mouth to eat.

When the broth was ready, Murong Jing gave Xiaohu a bowl and drank it by herself.

"You're still young, and you don't eat much. When you grow up, go hunting by yourself, don't eat and drink with me all the time. Do you understand?" Murong Jing nodded Xiaohu's head.

Xiaohu only cared about eating meat and drinking soup, and ignored Murong Jing.

Murong Jing took the black line and directly took Xiaohu's bowl away.

Xiaohu's food was gone, so he could only look up at Murong Jing innocently.

"... Even if you look at me like this, I have to finish!" Murong Jing said with one hand on her hip, "First, you must learn to hunt! Find food yourself! Second, you must know how to repay your kindness, and give me half of the prey you catch. !Do you understand!"

Xiaohu blinked.

[You say that... how can it understand. 】

"If you don't understand, you have to listen. If you listen a lot, you will understand." Murong Jing said angrily, "The main reason is... I won't be happy if I don't talk about it!"

【…】

Seeing Xiaohu's teary-eyed expression because he couldn't get food, Murong Jing couldn't resist for a while, and gave Xiaohu the broth.

When Xiaohu saw the broth, he immediately continued with the important matters of the people's livelihood, this time the speed was obviously accelerated.

"..."

[Look at you, it's frightening. 】

"...this little thing!"
