Listening to Liu Er's words, how could the woman not know that this was just an excuse? How could any child not want to go to the city? She was silent, feeling the weakness of her body, and looked blankly at Liu Er who was busy with other things.
"Let me do it."
She struggled to get up and out of bed. When Liu Er saw this, he stretched out his hand to stop her and advised her distressedly: "Mom, just lie down. If you have anything to do, just tell me and I will do it."
Just the small act of getting out of bed.
The middle-aged woman kept coughing, and it took a while for her cough to subside. She hid the hand covering her mouth under the thin quilt.
Although the woman was very fast, Liu Er still caught a glimpse of red blood in the palm of her hand.
Mother's illness has become serious again!
Liu Er's nose felt sore, and then he held it back with all his strength. He pretended not to see anything and said jokingly: "Mom, just lie down. It's not too much trouble. You can rest early, okay? I'm still I’m looking forward to eating the wild vegetable pancakes you made!”
"Liu Er, I've suffered a lot from you these days!"
"That's right. You are my mother, so there is no need to suffer or not. I wasn't the one who fed you shit and piss in the first place."
"You kid~"
…
After the woman took the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep. Liu Er stepped on his feet, walked out softly, and picked up the hatchet in the bamboo basket next to the door.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to you this time."
As he walked along yesterday's road, the closer he got to the place where he met Bai Li, the more uneasy Liu Er felt. He was afraid that Bai Li had left that place, and he was also worried that Bai Li was really what his father said.
Last night, his father took him and secretly told him a lot, such as what monsters are.
Monsters eat people and drink blood!
His father's words echoed in Liu Er's mind. Thinking of this, he found that his hands and feet had become cold before he knew it.
"Hey, Liu Er, why are you here!"
Brother Bai?
It's Brother Bai's voice.
When Liu Er came back to his senses, he realized that he had unknowingly walked to an open grassland. When he saw clearly what Bai Li was holding, his eyes widened.
Brother Bai wants to cut down the tree?
If an official saw this, he would be charged.
Wait, isn’t this the same place as yesterday? Why is it so empty, where are the trees?
While Liu Er was brainstorming, he did not forget to answer Bai Li's questions.
"Ah, there isn't much firewood left at home. Dad went to sell wolf skins, and I went out to collect firewood. I walked around here and thought I would come and take a look."
"Oh, that's it."
"Brother Bai, you must be hungry." Liu Er thought that since Bai Li had been around here all the time, he might not have anything to eat, so he took out the wrapped small piece of wolf meat that he had been reluctant to eat from his bamboo basket and swallowed it. He spat and said, "This is yesterday's wolf meat, here it is for you."
"Ah, thank you."
Although he had just finished eating, looking at Liu Er's sincere eyes, Bai Li was embarrassed to refuse and took it with both hands.
Wow, it tastes bad. There is no salt in it.
After Bai Li tasted it, he gave up hope on the taste of wolf meat.
This wolf meat should be very precious to Liu Er.
Taking a peek at Liu Er's expectant eyes, Bai Li had no choice but to start nibbling like a hamster.
Forget it, you can eat it too.
"By the way, Brother Bai, do you want me to take you out of the forest?" Liu Er asked.
I want to go out too, but I can’t!
"No need," Bai Li shook his head, lowered his head and took a bite of wolf meat: "For some reasons, I may be around here these days. If you have anything, you can come to me."
"That's it. Thank you, Brother Bai." Liu Er nodded with a smile and said goodbye: "Brother Bai, you can eat, I have to chop wood, so I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute." Bai Li took out the apples that fell from the leaves when cutting down the tree from his backpack and stuffed them into Liu Er's hands: "This is for you as a gift of wolf meat."
Of course, in Liu Er's view, Bai Li took it out of the pocket of his clothes.
"What kind of fruit is this? It's so big. Why have I never seen it before? Brother Bai, where did you find it?"
"Uh, I found it on a nearby tree, maybe."
Bai Li looked away, hesitating and laughing.
It did fall from the tree, and I picked up four or five of them.
There's no one around here, so it can't be that someone else didn't want it or dropped it.
Seeing Liu Er squirming and refusing to take it, he raised the wolf meat in his hand and took a small bite: "Keep it, didn't you give me the meat back? This fruit is worthless, you still lost money, you If you don’t accept it, I’ll return the meat to you!”
I can’t remember whether it was valuable in ancient times. At least it’s not valuable in modern times. I’m not lying.
"Thank you, Brother Bai!"
Hehe, keep it for your mother and sister to eat.
As for dad, it’s better to keep it a secret for now, otherwise it will be difficult to find Brother Bai in the future!
Brother Bai is indeed not a bad person.
Compared with the ups and downs when he started, Liu Er walked very briskly, swinging the hatchet in his hand to open the way.
gone?
Then this meat.
Bai Li was first thrown into the furnace. He could neither burn nor be burned.
He thought for a while, synthesized the box and put it in it.
I just wanted to experiment.
I want to see if the space in the box can be used to preserve freshness.
It’s definitely not that I don’t want to eat it.
That’s right, experiments bring true knowledge.
It is indeed a famous saying, it really makes sense.
"Okay, I finally dug it. I got the last iron ingot. Let's call it a day and go home!" Bai Li patted the unnecessary dust on his hands, returned to the ground, and put the crude iron into the furnace.
"Three irons can now be combined into an iron bucket!"
The iron bucket means that if Bai Li finds a water source, he can start farming, and the most important thing is unlimited water.
A week has passed since Liu Er's first visit. During this period, Bai Li would dig underground whenever he was free.
But trying to find iron ore here was even harder than climbing to the sky. He almost dug out the ground before he managed to get three iron ingots together.
You have to find ore veins to mine, or directly exchange them with others. The benefits of mining are really too low. If it weren't for the experience, I would have quit doing it a long time ago.
There are quite a few other ores, but for now, they are not very useful.
"It just so happens that we dug a line of underground water the day before yesterday. We can transport it up in iron barrels and start farming. This is no better than mining!"
Mining has come to an end, it is really tiring.
There is no need for a three-piece set of iron tools. As for the iron set, I haven't seen any monsters for some unknown reason, but it's okay, after all, I don't want the house to be blown up by creepers anytime soon.
As for people,
He really didn't think anyone could defeat him with weapons.
With the iron bucket, you can transport the groundwater to the ground and start farming. These days, there are twenty or thirty wheat seeds obtained just by knocking the weeds. Because the groundwater is too deep and is not conducive to planting, it has been kept there In Bai Li's backpack.
