Tisuo's pace is really fast. The distance from Green Slope to the rain forest would have taken Ayun all morning. Even at the fastest speed...it would take about three hours. Tisuo's The speed can be shortened by nearly half. It’s probably the difference between walking and electric cars.
But what is she doing in the rainforest now? Apparently Tisuo was also thinking about this problem. When he arrived near the rain forest, he let Ayun down.
The demarcation between the rainforest and the flat grassland is very clear, just like a border line. Now Tisuo and Ayun are still standing on the grass, but if they walk a few hundred meters further, they will immediately see towering rainforest vegetation. Those huge trees are like city walls rising from the ground, and the colors of the rainforest plants are darker. , as if no sunlight can shine inside.
Ayun still remembers the days a month ago when she was crawling around inside and desperately trying to escape... She didn't want to experience it a second time, and the rainforest was full of huge bugs and animals. She really didn't want to experience it again. I encountered a centipede-like insect that was almost as tall as a man.
"...&**%..." Tisuo squatted down, said something to Ayun, and then pointed at the rain forest with a ferocious look.
He bared his somewhat sharp teeth, and his six round pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils, and a deep grunting sound like a beast came out of his throat.
"What, what's wrong!" Ayun was frightened by Tisuo's appearance. She took two steps back and raised her hands in front of her face as if she was going to hit him. "It's too sudden for you to eat me now. We are not friends." !"
Tisuo's expression suddenly returned to his usual look. He closed his eyes and shook his head, then pointed at the rain forest and made a ferocious expression, and then said to Ayun very slowly word by word: "Ayun, inside. Death. "
What Tisuo said here was not Ayun's mother tongue, but Ayun's roughly translated meaning using what he had just learned from Tisuo. Tisuo must have said something else, but unfortunately Ayun didn't learn enough. She could only reluctantly analyze that Tisuo was reminding her that the rainforest was dangerous and she had better not go in alone.
And making this ferocious expression should also remind her that there are extremely ferocious beasts in the rain forest. Of course she knew this without Tisuo reminding her...
Ayun was so excited that the tips of her ears turned red, not for anything else but because she could understand Tisuo's language a little. And Tisuo will be worried about her safety...which means that he will come here in the past two days, and he also wants to know whether she is recovering well after being poisoned?
Seeing that Ayun kept nodding, Tisuo felt relieved. He reached out and grabbed Ayun's arm and led her towards the east side of the rain forest. He was talking as he walked. This time he spoke very slowly. Although Ayun listened, he did not understand what Tisuo was saying. What.
After walking for about half an hour, Ayun realized that Tisuo had brought her to the remains of the huge crocodile they had hunted a few days ago.
"Wow..." Ayun looked up at the wreckage in front of him. There is only a white skeleton left here, embedded in the green grass. From a distance, it looks like some kind of desolate modern art piece. There were no internal organs or minced meat, and there wasn't even any rancid smell. Just bones.
Ayun couldn't help but walk to the space between the two rows of ribs. She looked up at the sky divided by the ribs. She felt very magical. She looked around the bones several times, and even got into the skull of the giant crocodile and touched everywhere. . Ayun's head can even emerge from the eye sockets of the skeleton.
"..." It feels like a children's fort slide in a park. Ayun felt slightly happy, and she planned to name this huge creature Fortress Crocodile. While playing, Ayun also picked up some new bone fragments. This time she only took away the thin and sharp ones, leaving the other blunt ones to occupy space.
While Ayun was trying to extract the last remaining value from the wreckage, Tisuo squatted next to the smallest rib of the wreckage and kept digging deeper. When the ribs were a little loose, he stood up and held the bones with both hands, and forcefully broke the entire rib outward to separate it from the soil and frame.
"What are you doing?" Ayun put away the fragments he picked up and trotted to Tisuo to see what he was doing.
Tisuo laid the broken rib flat on the grass nearby. The bone was about three meters long, and its cross-section was a little thicker than Ayun's calf.
She took the opportunity to go up and try to see if she could pick up the bone, but of course she couldn't. Thinking back to just now, Tisuo could pick up the bone with both hands just as easily as picking up a straw... The strength and speed of their race were not comparable to hers. , thinking of this, Ayun began to wonder what their women looked like.
Tisuo stretched out his hand to push Ayun to the side, then circled around the bone, and at the same time kept bending down to knock with his hands. Finally, he stopped at a quarter of the bone and started with the stone he just picked up. After hitting hard, dozens of times, the bones cracked.
"*(&...!" Tisuo waved to Ayun to come over. After Ayun squatted opposite him, Tisuo picked up the bones that had broken into several large pieces. He turned the inside over, and there was some disgusting dirt inside. It was dark in color and had a very unpleasant sewer smell.
Tisuo reached out and dug out a little bit of the deep red mud-like marrow from the bone, and then handed it to Ayun: "That."
What is that! ! Is it okay to say this or that? !
But Ayun just resisted in her heart. This was the food that Tisuo personally handed to her. What did it mean? Explain that this is edible, and it must be good! Ayun closed his eyes, leaned forward and ate the bone marrow paste from Tisuo's finger...
Then he spat it out.
It tastes terrible! ! That taste, that texture...uhhhhh! Ayun covered his mouth and kept coughing. Tisuo blinked innocently on the side: "?"
Ayun has never eaten shit, but maybe this thing is quite different from shit. When you first enter the mouth, there are still some small lumps in the soft bone marrow paste. It is not hard but the texture sandwiched in the paste makes it even more disgusting. The smell is also... It's wrong to say it smells like shit, and it's wrong to say it's body odor... It's fine when you just smell it, but when you eat it, the smell explodes in your mouth.
It was too much, Ayun shook his head repeatedly: "No, I really can't eat it." Seeing Ayun's resistance, Tisuo scratched his head, dug out all the marrow from the bones and threw them aside, and then pulled some Grass around it and wipe the area inside the bones clean.
After cleaning the bones, Tisuo took the stone next to him and knocked out the sharp side of the palm-sized bone fragments. He also modified the other end with stones to make a simple handle. , waved it twice and handed it to Ayun.
Although you can't eat it, you can still use it as a weapon...do you mean it? Ayun accepted the bone knife that Tisuo made casually with some embarrassment. The gap between the two of them is really huge. The bone blade that Ayun made himself has no place to hold it, and it's not sharp yet.
After handing the bone knife to Ayun, Tisuo returned to the wreckage and began to feel for something. Staring at Tisuo's busy figure, Ayun felt a little complicated. It was really good for her to get help, but Ayun knew her own personality very well. She couldn't rely on others, which was devastating to her.
In other words, she spent many periods of anxiety in the past because she was often too dependent on others...
In this predicament, the sudden appearance of Tisuo, who was full of good intentions towards her, could easily make her let down her guard and start to regard Tisuo as someone she could rely on and who could bring her a sense of security.
Ayun looked down at the bone knife in her hand. She needed to know Tisuo better and learned basic survival knowledge from him. Instead of relying on Tisuo for everything, she must draw such a boundary clearly in her heart. This is not a world she is familiar with.
In her original world, the people she relied on suddenly stopped cooking for her, and she only had to order takeout by herself. It was different here. What would she do if one day Tisuo no longer suddenly appeared outside her cave and brought her food?
She only recognized a few edible things, and the new fruit she discovered last time even poisoned her.
Just when Ayun was thinking deeply, Tisuo seemed to have made some big discovery. He stood up and shouted happily, holding his hands together as if he had caught something.
"What, what's wrong!" Ayun suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Tisuo who had already walked in front of her. "What did you find?"
Tisuo opened his palm, and his palm was filled with a handful of...wriggling tender yellow flesh worms. Each flesh worm is as big as Ayun's two thumbs. Their crystal clear bodies look like plump grapes, and there is a soft red burr at the tail of the flesh worm.
You won't let me do that again... Ayun looked at Tisuo reluctantly.
"That!"
really! ! !
Seeing Ayun's expression of embarrassment, Tisuo thought for a moment, put all the bugs in his palm on the ground, and then picked out one of the smaller ones. He pinched the burrs at the tail of the bug with his fingers and pulled it out hard.
The insect that lost its burrs began to twist desperately, and after a while it stopped moving, changing from the original bright yellow to a hay yellow. He happily pinched the dead insect and handed it to A-Yun's mouth: "A-Yun, that!"
No, after thinking for a long time, I came to the conclusion that I won’t eat the living ones, but will I eat the dead ones?
Ayun stared at the meat insect that had reached under the tip of her nose, and countless thoughts in her mind were mixed together like a storm on the sea.
I have already been living in this place and I still don’t want to eat here or there. It’s good to eat with you. Open your mouth and eat.
But those are bugs, my grass. A flesh bug as big as a thumb is still a flesh bug even if it dies. Just kill me! !
Don't be ungrateful. She's not a princess from anywhere. You don't have to eat to starve to death.
That's a bug! !
Ayun felt like her brain was exploding, and she had not decided whether to eat or not. Unfortunately, his mouth had opened mechanically and he swallowed the meat worm in Tisuo's hand.
This taste...
"Well..." Ayun started chewing. How should I put it, although he was a little resistant before entering his mouth... but at least the bugs didn't stink? The taste is a bit like crispy sausage, which is generally better than the bone marrow puree just now. Sure enough, everything is easy to say when compared!
Ayun smiled, squatted down and started to pick up bugs on the ground to eat. Tisuo was also happy and ate with Ayun.
