21. The storm is coming
On the way to the pond, Xia Yi picked up branches. When he arrived at the pond, he took a dry branch, peeled off the bark to make ignition materials, lit it with a lighter, and raised the fire.
He placed the prepared three stones next to the fire and built a platform. Xia Yi took the pottery jar, placed it on the stone, and added some branches to the fire below.
Then, they handed the fire to Qiu Ruoyan and Xia Yi came to the side. They only prepared three stones, so there was also a pottery jar that could not be burned by the stone tread. They could only dig a hole below and dig a soil tread.
I dug one before, Qiu Ruoyan cleaned it up, which made Xia Yi ignite the fire.
The boy filled the clay pot with water and placed it on it.
The three of them gathered around the two fires and waited.
Qiu Ruoyan kept testing the temperature.
During the fifth test, Qiu Ruoyan stood up and said, "Okay."
Leaving this place to Xia Yi and the boy, Qiu Ruoyan walked a distance, turned her back to Xia Yi and the others to warn her.
Xia Yi took off his clothes and started rinsing.
He quickly washed his body and washed his head. He filled the empty pot with water and put it back on the fire to burn it for Qiu Ruoyan to use. Xia Yi looked at the boy.
The boy held the clay pot and looked at him straight.
"Wash quickly." Xia Yi urged while adding branches to the fire.
The weather was a little cold, so he leaned against the fire, roasted his body, and washed his clothes briefly.
When he finished washing his clothes and put them on, the boy still didn't move.
"Don't you want to enter the tent at night?" Xia Yi looked at the boy in confusion.
"No, I'll wait for you to leave." The boy replied.
"Stough?" Xia Yi took the clay pot on the boy's hand, placed it on the fire to keep it warm, and helped him take off his clothes.
If the boy is in a normal situation, Xia Yi would walk away to give the boy personal space, but the boy's arm was injured. Xia Yi wanted to observe how his wound was.
The boy struggled, but his strength was far less than Xia Yi.
Xia Yi easily took off the boy's T-shirt and his movements froze.
Underneath the boy's T-shirt is a small vest.
Xia Yi thought calmly and analyzed carefully. Perhaps 80% of boys would not wear such things.
Looking at the other party's embarrassed expression, Xia Yi coughed: "You said it earlier."
The boy didn't answer and snatched his T-shirt back.
Xia Yi could understand her thoughts. Children always couldn't hide their face for various wonderful reasons.
When she walked to Qiu Ruoyan, Xia Yi told her about this. When she saw Qiu Ruoyan, she also showed a surprised expression. Xia Yi was sure that it was not her fault.
Qiu Ruoyan walked towards the pond, Xia Yixin burned a fire to keep warm, alert to the surroundings.
After the sun set a little after halfway, Qiu Ruoyan and the girl were cleaned.
The three of them walked towards the camp. On the way, the girl kept a distance from Xia Yi and made up her mind to ignore him.
"What's your name?" Xia Yi broke Cen Ji.
"You don't even know my name?" The girl immediately threw her determination behind her and asked in annoyance.
"Why should I remember the names of so many people?" Xia Yi asked back.
"I've said it before, I won't tell you." The girl turned her head and gave Xia Yi the back of her head.
Qiu Ruoyan touched her head and said to Xia Yi: "It's Xiqiyue."
The surroundings became quiet again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
It's time to call the tool chicken.
Xia Yi silently recited "Phenics without resistance."
【Features-Lucky Trigger Successfully】
"Ah——"
A pheasant flew over from the side.
"Dong--"
The pheasant hit the tree and fell in front of Xia Yi.
Xi Qiyue's eyes lit up and she immediately ran to Xia Yi to catch pheasants.
Xia Yi stretched out his feet and stepped on the pheasant.
The girl didn't know that the pheasant was made by Xia Yi with her ability, and thought it was just a simple lucky one. She said to Xia Yi: "The person who meets her will have a share!"
"Why do you have to have your share when you fall in front of me?" Xia Yi was not used to her.
Sighing disappointedly, Xi Qiuyue let go of her hand holding the pheasant.
Qiu Ruoyan grabbed the pheasant.
The pheasant flew too fast and hit too hard. When he arrived at the camp, he had only one breath left. Xia Yi simply roasted it and rescued it from the pain.
Xi Qiyue looked at the chicken with greed, and the wild vegetables in her hand suddenly became less fragrant.
She looked at the place where the three wolf cubs were, thinking about whether to kill one to eat.
After the pheasant was roasted, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan were halfway through each other.
He pulled off the chicken legs and shook them in front of Xi Qiyue. Xia Yi asked, "Do you want it?"
"I want it." The girl said hurriedly.
"I want one-third of the wild vegetables tomorrow." Xia Yi said the conditions. This third was judged according to what he said before, a handful of wild vegetables exchanged for a pheasant.
On the surface, a chicken leg does not have one-third of the chicken, and the girl loses it, but in fact, the girl’s offer is extremely humid, and she is very satisfied with the deal.
In addition to the amount of wild vegetables she had agreed to give her every day, she would pick two-thirds more than one handful tomorrow, and she would pick it in one morning.
"Trade." Xiqiyue happily agreed.
She took the chicken legs and started eating happily.
Xia Yi bit the remaining chicken, but saw Qiu Ruoyan handing him his chicken legs.
"I'll eat some more food, it's not good to have too much meat." Qiu Ruoyan said to Xia Yi.
Xia Yi was not polite. The pheasant was fat and could barely eat enough without a chicken leg, let alone wild vegetables.
He has passed the awkward age of rejecting women's kindness.
After dinner, Qiu Ruoyan and Xi Qiuyue entered the tent. Xia Yi sat on the edge of the tent and added branches to the bonfire from time to time.
After an hour or so, he heard something happening in the tent and Xi Qiuyue walked out.
Xia Yi thought she wanted to be convenient, so she took a look back.
However, the girl sat down next to him.
"What to do?" Xia Yi asked.
"I'll help you watch the night." said the girl.
She felt Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan's care for her and wanted to give back something.
"Then I woke up and found that nothing was gone in the camp?" Xia Yi joked.
"You are insulting my personality!" The girl stared at Xia Yi.
"We are not familiar with you now. You are too young, so I don't feel at ease with you." Xia Yi replied.
"Why am I young?" Xi Qiyue was dissatisfied.
"I have no hair on my mouth and I can't do anything hard," said Xia Yi, "Go back and sleep."
Xi Qiyue's temper rose, and she stubbornly said: "No."
"Then let's sit down." Xia Yi didn't force himself. It would be nice to have someone to accompany him during the night watch.
He turned his head and looked at the girl.
The girl has short hair that is close to her ears, a plain figure, a neutral voice, and a wheat-colored skin. Although she has a beautiful appearance, there are so many cute boys now, so it is normal to regard her as a boy.
"What are you looking at?" Xi Qiyue curled up.
"I used to think you were a cold boy, but now I know that you are a talkative girl." Xia Yi opened the topic.
The girl was successfully guided by Xia Yi, and the two debated in a low voice around the two topics of coldness and chatterbox.
When it was time, Xia Yi woke up Qiu Ruoyan and entered the tent to sleep with Xi Qiuyue.
In the next few days, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan repeated the matter of catching pheasants, and Xiqiyue continued to pick wild vegetables. Although it was a bit hard, it could still make fun of the bitterness.
Until the fifteenth morning.
