After enjoying the "full insect feast", Ayun rubbed his belly with satisfaction. This was the most unscrupulous meal in a month. Tisuo was also very happy to see Ayun eating so much. After eating the bugs, he pulled Ayun to the wreckage and showed her how he found the bugs.
This kind of fat larvae is hidden in small bulges in the soil. You can find them if you look carefully. The larvae are not buried deeply and are only covered with a thin layer of soil. You only need to poke them twice with your fingers to lift the larvae. Digging open one of the bulges, he quickly rummaged through and found two or three more larvae and handed them to Ayun.
Ayun has completely thrown away the modern theory of "worms are so disgusting, how can they be eaten raw?" When the tisso was handed to her, she quickly patted the dirt off the larvae and threw it directly into her mouth to chew. Bar. The scene is like a big monkey feeding a little monkey.
After getting used to eating it, Ayun felt that this larvae could be a substitute for the glutinous balls with popping beads from ancient times. It was a pity that there was no milk tea to soak them in.
Fat worm burst juice milk tea... Ayun felt that she might be on the verge of going crazy, otherwise why would she compare these little meat worms to the pearls in the pearl milk tea! ! The pity is not that there is no milk tea to soak them in, but her unparalleled adaptability.
Looking back, Ayun was often accused by his relatives of not being able to endure hardships and being unmotivated. He was also said to be unsociable when he entered university and entered the society. Look at her now! Not only did she survive in this hellish place for a month, she also enjoyed a feast of fat insects with the local savages.
Ayun felt that his self-confidence was beginning to expand, but what exactly was it expanding...
"Ayun, are you happy?" Tisuo narrowed his eyes when he saw Ayun eating one piece after another. His expression looked a bit scary at first glance, but in fact he was smiling very happily. "Insects, many."
"Happy, bug, stick." Ayun spoke the language of Tisuo very confidently, and then continued to expand. Each sound in Tisuo's language contains many meanings, such as happiness... it is the 'Agulu' that Tisuo often chants. It also means good things, I am happy to see you, I am in a good mood, etc... ...In short, it is a word with a positive meaning that is used in conjunction with the current environment. The addition of worms to agulu should mean that the worms are delicious, or that I like this worm very much.
Tissot also obviously knew that she was trying to learn his language, so he would speak to her very slowly and his pronunciation would be clearer and more certain.
"Insect, me too..." Because he didn't know how to tell me to dig, Ayun made a digging gesture. Tisuo understood and stepped aside, then pointed to a place in the dirt.
Ayun excitedly squeezed beside Tisuo and began to carefully search for the small soil bags with larvae buried in them. This was easier than she thought. Within a few minutes, she had already caught a small handful, but this time Ayun did not have all of them. Instead of throwing it into her mouth, she patted it clean and carefully put it into her purse. In order to prevent the bugs from being squeezed into the purse, she also deliberately loosened the purse.
"...?" Tisuo watched Ayun flipping around and playing with the piece of cloth around her waist, staring curiously. After noticing Tisuo's curiosity, Ayun immediately took off his entire belt and showed him his simple 'waist bag' made of short sleeves.
However, Tisuo was more interested in the material of the short sleeves than the waist bag. He kept touching and rubbing it with his hands, and made some surprised sounds: "Ayun, what?"
"Uh..." Ayun gestured with his hands and feet, speaking a bit clumsily in Tisuo's language. He picked up his clothes and put them on to show Tisuo, then took them off again. The sticky feeling when I put it on made Ayun think...it might be time to find a chance to wash this short-sleeved shirt.
"Clothes!" Tisuo turned over the dirty short sleeves and looked at them enough before returning them to Ayun. He said something else, but Ayun couldn't understand. But she was still very happy, and their communication was getting smoother and smoother.
When she packed up her short sleeves and was about to turn it back into a waist bag, Tisuo suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the rainforest. His eyes suddenly opened wide and his ears moved back close to his head.
"What's wrong?" Ayun clutched his pocket, a little nervous due to the movement of the rope. Following the direction Tisuo looked... several strangers emerged from the rain forest and came to the plains.
Ayun instinctively felt nervous. She knew that Tisuo had no hostility toward her, but what about the guys walking over not far away? They also held weapons-like things in their hands, which frightened Ayun. She walked around the rope and hurriedly got into the skull of the wreckage, curled up and hid.
"..." Tisuo did not stop Ayun. He turned his body sideways to block the skull, but continued to squat on the ground and pretend to dig bugs.
About ten minutes later, a few people who seemed to be members of Tisuo's clan approached, and Ayun carefully looked out through the gaps in the bones.
At first, Tisuo and the three people seemed to be communicating normally. The tone of both parties was very calm, but the speed of speech was relatively fast. To Ayun, it sounds like a book from heaven. Then the voices became more and more intense, and Tisuo's voice was particularly high-pitched. This was a tone that Ayun had never heard in the past few days of being with Tisuo, and it sounded very angry.
Are you quarreling? Have you discovered me? Do you want to throw me somewhere again? But I'm just a helpless outsider!
Ayun was so nervous that she began to tremble. She wanted to crawl out of the hole on the other side of her skull and escape, but it was unrealistic... Even if she ran at full speed, she could not match the speed of Tisuo and the others. After thinking about it for a long time, she still shrank in place, shivering, took out the small bone knife from her pocket and held it in her hand, thinking that if something unexpected happened, she would have to walk more decently.
As soon as Ayun held the knife, he heard Tisuo start roaring, and the voices of the others were getting louder and louder. The noise was like wild beasts fighting for territory.
...There were three unknown savages in total. They were dressed very similar to Tisso, and had many vertical patterns painted on their bodies with ugly green paint. What makes Ayun feel a little strange is that their skin colors are different. Tisuo's skin color is brown similar to that caused by the sun, while the other three are a bit reddish brown. There is also a big difference in height and body shape. One of them is two heads shorter than Tisuo. The only thing they have in common is the three pupils.
During the quarrel, the leader suddenly walked into Tisuo and reached out to grab Tisuo's arm. This move obviously made Tisuo very angry. He cursed angrily and strangled the opponent's neck with his hands, and then lifted him up. He fell hard to the ground...
Ayun wasn't exaggerating. Tisuo really picked up the man by his neck...as if he was just lifting a weightless cotton doll.
After the leader was knocked to the ground, the other two people behind him immediately made attacks, but they did not step forward immediately. They just looked at Tisuo with ferocious expressions. Their ears stood back, their pupils were narrowed, and their postures were tense, as if they were about to pounce and bite the rope in the next second.
Ayun could only see Tisuo's back from this direction. His arm muscles exposed outside the animal hide were tense, and it looked like he was about to grab the opponent and tear him apart... The confrontation between the two sides continued until the leader on the ground stood up. He coughed a few times and muttered something.
There didn't seem to be any intention to start a fight. Ayun couldn't understand their conversation, but the atmosphere seemed to have relaxed. Tisuo didn't make any more aggressive gestures. After talking for about ten minutes, the three people left. .
Wait, gone? They just left? Tisuo did not leave. He walked to the skull, reached in and patted Ayun on the top of her head, then went down and grabbed her arm and pulled her out.
"Ayun." After he caught Ayun out, he didn't let go. He bent down as if teaching a child and pointed at the rainforest and cave, close by.
Ayun listened in confusion. She didn't quite understand what was going on, but she thought about it a little... Does it mean that she lives too close to the rainforest, or is it because she lives too close to be easily discovered by other savages?
No... discovery shouldn't be used. Tisuo knew where she lived from the beginning, which meant that Tisuo came from the settlement where she was thrown out. People there knew that she lived in a cave on the green slope. This can explain why Tisuo was able to send her directly back to the cave after seeing her for the first time.
But there is no other place for her to live? Ayun was a little anxious and felt very helpless, as if he had been ordered by the landlord to move out within three days...
"There is no other place to live except the cave..." Ayun murmured to himself, not caring whether Tisuo understood or not, "You are a race that is better than me no matter what, why can't I live in a cave? I No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like I can eat you.”
Although Tisuo couldn't understand, he could tell that A-yun was very anxious. He patted A-yun's head soothingly: "Stay in the cave, &%￥&"
Inexplicably anxious, Ayun felt that she might have begun to rely too much on Tisuo. She was actually wondering if Tisuo could help her find a new place to live.
This is wrong. Tisso is very friendly to her, but this friendship is conditional. Ayun's mind was clear now, and she began to analyze what had happened in the past few days when she was getting along with Tisuo. Tisuo would bring her food and patiently teach her things.
But Tisuo never tried to take her to a settlement. In such a dangerous environment, Tisuo never said he would take her to a settlement that was much safer than a cave. This shows what?
Ayun is not blaming the good people of Tisuo for not doing it to the end, but trying to figure out what kind of existence she is in the eyes of these savages. They did not allow her to enter the settlement, and after driving her out, they also got her address... If Thinking she's a threat, why not just kill her?
Tiso and the three men were residents of the same settlement. After Tisuo knocked one of them down, the other two did not do anything... Does this mean that Tisuo's status is higher than theirs? Or do they know that they can't defeat Tisuo even if they try to do it, so they don't dare to do it easily?
Ayun felt that he was trapped in a strange circle, but he had a very simple answer in his mind. It is something that exists in any era and cannot be explained by logic...faith.
Suppose that the ethnic group Tisuo belongs to has their own certain beliefs, and one of the beliefs happens to fit Ayun's current situation, such as his pupils.
There is not much difference between the races of Ayun and Tisuo in general appearance, hands and feet, ears, mouth and nose...the only difference is the pupils. Ayun only has two pupils, but Tisuo and the others have six.
The two pupils are abnormal, but they cannot kill. Did Tissot and his followers happen to have such a regulation in their faith?
"Alas..." That's right. In her opinion, the weird Tisuo family is not surprising. They belong to this world. She is the truly weird existence. In Tisuo's eyes, she may be just a monster, or it's nothing. A menacing, abominable monster.
But the good thing is, there is no fear of life. Ayun decided not to be too anxious. It was impossible to leave Lupo at this stage. Even if she wanted to leave, she would have to wait until she mastered basic survival skills. Unless these local savages come to force her to leave... let's talk about it then!
"Ayun?" Because she didn't speak for a long time and her face was solemn, Tisuo looked very panicked. He kept patting Ayun's side gently with his hand. "Ayun?"
Ayun looked up at the sky, which was very clear and blue. According to experience, it was probably not yet 12 o'clock. She had a lot of time to look for useful things and food near the wreckage. She was ready to fill her entire pocket with the bugs that Tisso taught her to dig up just now. In addition, she should also be able to dig up the roots that she often eats nearby.
"Food, go back to the cave." Ayun pointed to her pocket. She decided to put the matters of Tisuo aside and start again according to her own plan and pace. "Tisuo, go back."
Upon hearing that he was asked to go back, Tisuo's eyes widened in surprise and his ears stood up: "Go back?" He suddenly grabbed Ayun with both hands and lifted her up: "Ayun?"
"Put me down...!" Ayun kicked his legs in vain. "I want to collect bugs and go back to the cave!"
Tisuo didn't understand, but seeing Ayun's resistance he let her go. After Ayun returned to the ground, he continued to collect bugs. Tisuo observed for a while and then squatted down to help Ayun dig bugs.
After digging out enough worms, Ayun began to look for roots and stems everywhere, and Tisuo followed her. He would do whatever she wanted.
Why on earth... Ayun was collecting food seriously while thinking about Tisuo's actions. If it were in her world, Tisuo's actions would undoubtedly be a sign of goodwill between men and women. .
Because he couldn't figure it out and felt a little depressed, Ayun dug harder and harder to vent his anger.
Tisuo saw her digging hard, and he dug very hard himself, digging a big hole in a few strokes. Ayun looked a little speechless: "Is this a grave dug for me?"
Seeing Ayun talking to him, even though he didn't understand, Tisuo happily pointed at the pit: "Ayun!" as if he was waiting for Ayun's praise.
"……thank you."
