The girl was quiet and silent, her back looking even thinner in front of the firelight.
Bai Yu watched quietly, with a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes. From the time they escaped to now, Tianbao had not said a word to him.
He didn't know what kind of medicine Grandpa Du applied to him, but the wound started to feel itchy and painful.
As his eyelids grew heavier, Bai Yu fell asleep in a daze, and the voices in his ears became distant.
"Sister, are you making porridge?" Wheat Sui came to the girl's side and put his nose over the small iron pot to smell it. The aroma of the rice that had just been boiled was very pleasant, "It must be cooked for Bai Yu." It’s... I’ve never tasted the porridge cooked by my sister in my whole life!”
Wheatear was jealous.
So are the three brothers of the Su family.
Su Wu hummed deliberately, "Don't talk about you, the three of us brothers have never eaten anything made by Tianbao."
Wheat ears, "You don't need it, you can grow it even if you drink the northwest wind!"
"..."
The two of them were about to get into a fight again, and Tianbao interrupted the fight, "It's my first time cooking, so I'm not very good at it, so it may not be delicious."
Su Wu suddenly thought of something, "Tianbao, have you washed the rice?"
"No." She forgot.
Several people nearby looked at the girl's confident expression and were speechless.
The beeping sound of burning firewood, the aroma of firewood and the increasingly rich aroma of porridge, spread out a hint of smoke on the quiet night mountain forest road.
Rare peace.
"Tianbao, take out that cocoon and have a look. It's such a hard-to-get thing. Let's see what it looks like."
After satisfying their appetite, several people gathered around Tianbao and watched her take out the cocoon.
Worried that tongues of flame would burst out from the fire behind and burn the cocoons, Du Buguo even rushed the three boys from the Su family in that direction to block the fire.
When Tianbao took out the thing, seven people around him stretched out their hands to hold it up, carefully cherishing it, for fear that the cocoon would be blown to pieces by the wind.
Everyone stared at the little thing without blinking.
"Is this really true? It's too small. A pair is only as big as my thumb!"
"It doesn't seem to be any different from a silkworm cocoon... Isn't it wrong? Will two silkworms emerge in the end?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't open your mouth like a crow! What a silkworm, this is Buyi! What comes out must be Buyi!"
"That's not right. According to what the piece of paper says, when a cocoon breaks out of a cocoon, what comes out should be a butterfly?"
"..."
"..."
What's trying to come out is really a butterfly, wouldn't it be blind? !
Six pairs of eyes turned to Bing'er without blinking.
Bing'er was already small when she was squatting, but when she was looked at like this, her upper body gradually became rickety.
After a while, he raised his upper body again.
"This is a rare mandarin duck cocoon. No matter what comes out are bugs or butterflies, I can make them give birth to bugs!" This is the first time Bing'er has been so confident and bold, "I raised bugs with my mother-in-law when I was a child. A pair of The couple has worms, I will take care of them!"
Everyone's face was mixed,
The good news is that Bing'er can raise insects, but we'll decide later whether she can be trusted or not.
The worry is...
The poisonous old man put his head in front of Bing'er, "Bing'er, do you know how to hatch cocoons?"
Bing'er, "..."
Everyone, "..."
The unsolvable questions at the moment will be solved slowly in the future. The old man put aside his worries and urged Tianbao to put away the cocoon, "Tianbao, you must put this thing away, maybe you can still find it next time! "
The rest of the people nodded, "Be sure to keep an eye on it. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to come to Shu Road next time. Tianbao, I must cherish these cocoons."
Tianbao pursed his lips and looked at the cocoon lying in the palm of his hand. After a while, he put it into the wooden box and put it into the space.
She raised her eyes and saw the worried and concerned gazes of her relatives and friends. Even their relieved expressions were all for her.
"I will cherish it," she said. "This is what Bai Yu worked hard to get back. Even if it is not used, I will keep it well."
When Du Buguo heard the first sentence, he felt relieved, and when he heard the last sentence, the relieved feeling lifted up again, and he looked at Bai Yu with fierce eyes.
Broken Blade reached out with his long arm and pulled the old man to the other side, blocking his view of the person he wanted to eat.
"What are you doing! Grandpa is still holding his breath, don't do anything, we're done!"
"The boys are not as naive as you. Breaking off has almost become a mantra."
"Who is being naive! Grandson!"
"Rabbit legs, freshly roasted and spiced."
"Don't eat!"
"Your stomach is growling."
"...I'll settle the score with you after eating!"
In the small iron pot placed on the fire, the rice porridge was bubbling and thick.
Tianbao took a bowl and filled it with a bowl. After it was allowed to dry to the right temperature, he walked back.
Bai Yu was lying a little away from the fire, covered with a thin quilt.
The firelight reflected from that side and hit his face, making it impossible to ignore the paleness of his face.
Inexplicably showing some vulnerability.
Tianbao walked next to him and just squatted down when the young man opened his eyes and stared at her eagerly.
"Get up and drink porridge." Tianbao was not surprised and handed over the porridge bowl. "Don't say you can't get up. Your waist and legs are not injured."
"Tsk, Tianbao, you've blocked my words." Bai Yu bent his eyes and sat up, "I'm a wounded person now, can't you keep giving in to me?"
Tianbao's eyes fell on the porridge, "I've already given in."
The curvature of young people's eyes is more beautiful.
A bowl of porridge at just the right temperature quickly emptied out in his hand. After finishing the drink, the bowl was not returned.
Tianbao squatted in front of him and looked at him quietly without grabbing.
"You didn't talk to me the whole way out of Iwa Valley. I thought you were still angry with me." The young man said with his eyes bent, then lowered his eyelids and looked at the empty bowl.
He looked quite aggrieved.
"I'm not angry with you." Tianbao pursed his lips and simply sat down, looking at Bai Yu with a serious look on his face, "Bai Yu, I'm angry with myself."
The young man raised his eyes and waited for the next words.
"I know you all want to get rid of the poison for me so that I can live well. But whether it is my life, your life, or the life of anyone around me, it is equally important. If I need to take your life I have to trade my life to live, and I don’t want to do that.”
Tianbao rarely spoke in long paragraphs. She looked at the young man with extremely dark eyes and pursed her lips tightly, "Bai Yu, if you die because of this incident, I will get rid of the cocoon." Poison, I will live well and continue to take care of all the people I want to take care of, and live up to your intention of risking my life to save you. But I will never be happy in this life."
Bai Yu's heart beat slowly, and he looked at the girl without blinking.
He knew Tianbao's temperament. She said these words exactly how she thought, without any cover-up or embellishment.
Even if he was still not special in her eyes, he still felt extremely satisfied to receive her words.
"I know, I made a mistake this time. I will act more thoughtfully in the future." He smiled.
Tianbao took the empty bowl he had been holding in his hand and patted his head like a puppy, "No, you didn't do anything wrong. It was me who was wrong. I was reflecting on it all the way back. After all, It's because I'm not strong enough, so I couldn't protect everyone around me. I will work harder in the future."
The girl stood up and walked back, "I'll give you another bowl of porridge."
Bai Yu blinked, his eyes gradually becoming numb, "..."
There is pain that cannot be expressed.
Tianbao said she was not strong enough.
She also needs to practice harder.
...Stop practicing, he will really not be able to beat her if he continues to practice!
