Tisso stayed near the cave tonight. Because the fence was built, he could not block the entrance of the cave, so he could only sit next to it. Ayun must have fallen asleep at this time. He heard only steady breathing in the cave.
He sat on the left side of the fence and looked towards the rainforest in the distance of Green Slope. People from other settlements have been wandering around the border in the past few days. Although it is said that they are chasing their prey, this has happened three times this season. Tisuo and his brothers knew that there should be a fierce conflict before the rainy season.
In order to seize food resources.
Speaking of the rainy season, Tisuo still doesn't know how to help Ayun survive this long bad season. Now the environment in Ayun's residence will become very bad once the rainy season enters, and mud and water will continue to wash down from the mountain. When he heard that strange creatures were caught in the settlement a long time ago, Tisuo didn't pay much attention to it.
At that time, he and other brothers were in the hunting season. After the hunting period, they returned to the settlement and learned that someone had caught a very, very strange creature. It had only two pupils, was short in stature, and had a very strange skin color... I don’t know which settlement it was from. A deformed child driven out. The mistress just took one look at her and ordered her to be thrown out to die.
But people patrolling the rainforest and the border with the plains said that the deformed child was not devoured by the beasts in the rainforest, but found a cave to live on the gray stone slope outside the rainforest.
The day I first met Ayun was a special coincidence. They were working together to hunt a giant bone beast that accidentally broke into the rainforest. After hunting and dismembering the prey, Tisuo noticed the sneaky head on the hillside in the distance. , he initially thought it was a small beast waiting to clean up the wreckage. But the brothers who hunted together reminded them in a slightly disgusted tone that the deformed child that was thrown out before appeared.
"Let's get some scraps from here. Have you ever looked at that thing carefully? It's so strange and terrifying."
Tisuo had never seen it before, so he became curious. He deliberately made excuses to stay while the others returned to the settlement with their loot. Just out of curiosity.
After waiting for the deformed child to arrive at the remains of the giant bone beast, he began to observe its movements. From the appearance... it does seem to be underdeveloped, but it is not as terrifying as others described it. It looks very thin, and the eager action of digging out the flesh from the remains makes Tisuo feel a little pitiful.
It was this compassion that made Tisuo decide to help Ayun within his ability.
After knowing Ayun for a few days, Tisuo finally got used to her eyes and appearance. But aside from appearance, Ayun is very interesting. She can speak a strange language and do strange things, such as howling suddenly and running around energetically. After Tisuo finished his work in the settlement every day, he would come over to see what Ayun was doing.
He didn't know why he did this, but he felt a little bored when he came to see Ayun. Communication has become smoother and smoother recently. Ayun is very good...very smart. She can immediately understand and speak out as soon as she says it once. She is much better than the children in the settlement who just started to learn to speak.
...It would be great if Ayun could live in the settlement. Tisuo looked in the direction of the rain forest and sighed. Ayun could live in a tent next to his house, which was much better than a cave.
Until early in the morning, Tisso stood up after confirming that there were no enemies hunting, planning to go home. However, not far after he walked out, he remembered Ayun's surprise when he saw him in the afternoon, and kept checking whether there were any wounds on his body. Does it mean that Ayun has been worried since he suddenly disappeared and returned home yesterday?
"..."
…
…………
Ayun yawned and slowly climbed up from the straw mat. He sat stunned for a while before crawling out of the cave.
"Ayun! What are you doing today!"
"Ahhhh!!" As soon as she opened the door, Ayun was startled by Tisuo's loud cry. She crawled on the inside of the fence and looked up at Tisuo who was standing outside the fence. "Why are you here!" "
"I'm afraid you'll be worried because I didn't go back last night." Tisuo bent over the fence, reached out and grabbed Ayun and lifted her out. "Are you happy!"
Happy, but not awake yet. Ayun yawned and ignored Tisuo as he still held her up: "If you don't go back, won't your family be worried?"
Tisuo didn't seem to care. He put Ayun back on the ground and looked at her expectantly: "What are you going to do today? Keep making things."
Without thinking about it, Ayun scratched her head and said, "We have to get some water first." There was only a shallow layer of water left in the insect shell, and it would be gone after drinking it today. As soon as she finished saying Tisuo, she rushed over to get it. Insect shell, Ayun with quick eyes and quick hands ran over to stop him: "Put it down!"
"?" Tisuo didn't know why he was suddenly scolded. He stood there holding the insect shell and looked down at Ayun, "What's wrong? I'll help you get water."
"No, no, no." Ayun shook his head and snatched the insect shell back. "You can't help me, but we can..." Ayun thought about it for a while, and then remembered how to express that we should go get water together.
"Okay, that's great! Let's go play together."
Isn’t it fun? I didn't expect that I would start to get annoyed as soon as I opened my eyes so early in the morning.
The preparation and collection work from morning to noon has become very fast with the addition of Tisso. After they finished breakfast, Tisuo quickly ran towards the rain forest with Ayun and Chongke on his back.
Ayun's original intention was not to ride the rope, but his arms couldn't hold his thighs, so he was forced to ride a big horse. But there was an unexpected gain. Tisuo took her farther to the east side of the rain forest and rushed into the rain forest.
Before entering the particularly lush vegetation area, there were some shallow trickles on the ground. They were very, very thin and probably only as wide as Ayun's two arms, but some were deep, similar to ravines. It didn't take long for the two of them to have a basin full of water. While Ayun was fetching water, Tisuo kept jumping up and down next to him, picking vines and sticks.
Because he felt that Ayun could use these things. By the way, he also taught Ayun to identify the edible fruits nearby.
"Tisuo, if you go here, will there be a big lake?" Ayun pointed in the opposite direction of the stream. "Fish? Can you catch it?"
"Many, many fish, big lakes..." Tisuo shook his head, "It's very dangerous, very dangerous to Ayun. Bugs and beasts are all there."
Also, there are always many animals gathered around the lake. As a junior accountant who has not yet left the Novice Village, Ayun does not dare to think too much about the fat fish, so he will just eat some fruits and bugs for now. It's a pity that Tisuo didn't think so: "If Ayun wants fish, I'll get it!"
Don't take it, what if you are discovered! Ayun smiled dryly and shook his head.
After fetching water, Ayun and Tisuo returned to the cave entrance. After putting away the water and the materials collected by Tisuo, she took Tisuo to dig some roots for preparation. But as he dug, Ayun noticed something was wrong with Tisuo. He was always blinking. As he dug, he would start to feel dazed and speak less.
"Tiso, are you tired?"
"A bit." Tisuo yawned, "But no problem, I'll help you dig for food."
That's not possible. You have to stay energetic in a place like this. Ayun picked up the dug rhizome and pulled the rope back to the entrance of the cave. She asked Tisuo to wait at the entrance of the cave, and she quickly ran to the area with broad leaves, picked several of the largest leaves, and brought them back.
"Rest." Ayun spread the leaves next to her fire-drilling workbench, which was relatively flat. Then she took out her coat from the bottom of the box in the cave and wrapped it into a small pillow. "Come, rest!"
After Tisuo lay down, Ayun stuffed the coat and pillow under the back of his head. Then she looked at Tisuo and her eyes widened: "Ayun, what is this? It's comfortable..."
It was a women's ultra-light portable down jacket. Ayun tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Get some rest." She patted Tisuo's forehead. She probably stayed up late yesterday and didn't rest. Thinking of this, Ayun felt that the skylight was too strong, and she The fanny pack was then folded into a strip and covered Tisuo's eyes.
"Why cover your eyes?"
"It's very bright, like this, rest." She pressed Tisuo's shoulders to stop him from getting up. "You rest, I'll be by your side."
"Okay! Ayun, don't wander around."
I don't have anywhere to go... After Tisso muttered something she couldn't understand, maybe because the pillow was too comfortable or because he covered his eyes, he quickly fell into sleep, breathing slowly and evenly. down.
After Tisuo fell asleep, Ayun went to the side and started arranging the vines and wooden sticks she had brought back. Because the fine velvet had not dried to its fullest extent, she planned to learn how to tie the bone fragments to the front end of the wooden stick today.
I spent about ten minutes tinkering with the bundles, but they were still unsatisfactory. She took the one that had been broken into three parts and turned it over in her hand, while she began to recall the tools of her time.
Hammer, scissors, kitchen knife. I'm really sorry. In that era, I treated you as dispensable daily necessities, and I didn't realize how useful you could be after living in the wilderness. Speaking of kitchen knives, Ayun suddenly remembered a fruit knife he had broken before. The wooden handle swelled and broke due to moisture. The connection between the blade and the handle is exposed... The U-shaped end of the blade is a rectangle, which will be embedded in the wooden handle.
Ayun's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt stupid... Why hadn't she thought of such a simple thing earlier? ? Just split the front end of the stick a little, stuff the bone pieces inside, and tie it tightly with vines a few times, and it will be fixed, right?
Maybe it was because I was too hungry before and there was nothing in my mind. After thinking of a way, Ayun immediately started the operation. She picked out the strongest and most convenient wooden stick and began to modify it. Split the tip first, then insert the bone fragments firmly, and finally tie the split area tightly with thin vines.
Ayun stood up and swung the spear vigorously several times, but the bone fragments did not fall off. At this moment, her expression was already excited. She pointed the spearhead at the ground, pierced it in hard, and then pulled it out... The bone fragment was a little crooked, but it was still strong.
Now Ayun was completely excited. She held the spear and jumped excitedly on the spot. Although it was a spear, as long as she threw it with strong force, it could be regarded as a long-range weapon! Just find a way to fix the spearhead...
If Tisuo hadn't been sleeping soundly, Ayun would have screamed.
