When the two returned to the cave with the kitten, Xue Rin looked at the kitten in Yao Zhixia's arms with wide eyes and trembling meowing, and said with some hesitation: "That, can you let me hug it?"

"Of course, be careful, gently. ”

Yao Zhixia saw that Xue Rin cautiously stretched out his hand, but he couldn't do anything about such a soft little guy, so he took the initiative to stuff the kitten into Xue Rin's arm.

This little creature with almost no weight crawled in the crook of Xue Rin's arm, which made him very frightened, he wanted to reach out and touch its delicate fluff, but he was afraid of scaring it.

Yao Zhixia couldn't help but smile as she looked at Xue Rin's hesitant hand hanging in the air.

"It's okay, it's not as fragile as you think, it's the only little fighter who has won the Grim Reaper!" Yao Zhixia smiled and encouraged.

"Isn't this the first time for me, you say, what should we call it?" Xue Rin scratched the kitten's back with his hand.

"You're the first person to hold it, so naturally you named it. ”

Xue Rin stared at the golden-brown eyes of this spotted kitten, and Peng Peng, who had already jumped to his feet in a hurry, took advantage of the situation to stand up, grabbed Xue Rin's pants with both paws, and let out an anxious whine in his mouth, wanting to see this newcomer.

Xue Rin looked down at the grinning and wagging his tail at Puff, and suddenly had an inspiration: "Strictly speaking, you found it and saved it, so let it be called Ding Man after your name." ”

"Ding Man, what does Ding Man mean?" Yao Zhixia wasn't even sure which two words Xue Rin was talking about.

"Ding Man, don't you know?Peng Peng and Ding Man, The Lion King, haven't you seen this cartoon when you were a child?" Xue Rin looked at Yao Zhixia in disbelief.

Yao Zhixia was a little embarrassed by Xue Rin's casual question, so she had to shake her head awkwardly.

In her memory, there was never a cartoon, not even a television.

When I was in elementary school, when I heard her classmates discussing the plot of the cartoon the night before, she was the only one who looked down and read a book without saying a word, pretending not to be interested.

When she got home, she hesitated and asked her mother to buy a TV, but the only reply she received was: We have a hard time feeding you, so what's the use of buying that TV? It's enough for us to use it for two months.

Since then, she has never asked her mother for anything, she often comforts and encourages herself, as long as she studies hard, what she wants can be obtained by her efforts in the future.

It was only later, after eating all the unwillingness and helplessness, that she finally realized that there are some things that cannot be exchanged by hard work, and if you are told to admit defeat, you have to surrender, it not only makes you surrender, but also presses your head, forcing you to crawl in the mud and say in person, your only choice is to accept that life will not be better again.

Seeing a wry smile on the corner of Yao Zhixia's mouth, Xue Rin instantly guessed the possible hidden meaning behind this wry smile, and he dodged her eyes with some guilt, and quickly thought about what to say in his mind.

"Just call it Ding Man, and Peng Peng will take good care of it in the future!"

Yao Zhixia didn't want to spoil the joyful atmosphere of welcoming a new life, so she immediately cheered up and touched her fluffy head to explain it.

Fuffy wagged his tail excitedly, put his nose close to the kitten and sniffed it, licking its fluff enthusiastically.

----

When night falls, the fluffy fluffy that has been excited for a day has already curled up in its own small grass nest.

"Pengpeng, now you know what it means to be a father and a mother again!

Xue Rin smiled and glanced at Pengpeng, then got up and walked to the temporary chicken coop he had fenced with stones, and looked down at the brown-haired pheasants struggling to jump out of the stone fence, a little embarrassed for a while.

I have never killed a chicken before! It took a lot of effort to catch it, and if it weren't for the predator Peng Peng, I wouldn't have been able to touch half of the chicken's hair for 800 years.

Yao Zhixia went outside the cave to get back the quilt that had been dried during the day, and as soon as he entered the cave, he saw Xue Rin staring at the pheasant motionless.

"What's wrong? Are you going to kill the chicken?"

"Yes, but, there is a question, should this chicken be plucked first or stabbed to death first?" Xue Rin asked suspiciously.

"Come on, I've killed chickens, just help me get the tools. ”

Yao Zhixia rolled up his sleeves, calmly walked to the fence, bowed down and grabbed the chicken's neck steadily, and carried the crowing chicken out of the hole.

"I'm me, I'm going to do something?" Xue Rin hurriedly caught up.

"Give me the knife you brought back. ”

Yao Zhixia carried the chicken into the woods some distance from the entrance of the cave, and turned back to Xue Rin and shouted.

When Xue Rin heard this, he immediately picked up a Swiss Army knife he had scavenged from the ship, trotted to Yao Zhixia's side, and handed it to her.

Yao Zhixia took the knife, made a big cut under the chicken's neck without hesitation, and then pressed the body of the chicken that was struggling more intensely.

Xue Rin was stunned by the rolling blood spurting from the chicken's neck, and his whole body stiffened as he bared his teeth and grinned.

"You go and boil some water, as much as you can. Yao Zhixia stared at the chicken that slowly stopped struggling and explained to Xue Rin.

Xue Rin relieved himself for a moment, and hurriedly took the kettle to the waterfall to fetch water.

By the time Xue Rin returned to the woods with hot water, the poor chicken had already died.

"I'm holding the chicken, and you pour hot water on the chicken slowly. ”

Yao Zhixia picked up the chicken as she spoke, and the chicken's neck was already soft at this time.

Xue Rin instinctively took a step back, his voice a little hoarse, "Okay, be careful, don't get burned." ”

When the hot water was poured on, Xue Rin immediately smelled a pungent smell of chicken feathers, which made him nauseous, and after holding back for a few seconds, he retched directly.

Yao Zhixia, who had been holding his breath calmly on the side, saw Xue Rin like this, but panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Rin.

But as soon as Yao Zhixia approached, the pungent smell of the chicken in her hand became even worse, causing Xue Rin to stagger back a few steps, retching uncontrollably, waving his hand and shouting: "Don't come here!

Yao Zhixia immediately put the chicken behind her back, turned around and ran into the distance, and after running a distance, she turned her head and looked at Xue Rin worriedly.

At this time, Xue Rin was bending over, his face was flushed, and he had begun to cry physiologically, he gasped for breath, and then slowly straightened up, stretching out an arm to support the tree beside him.

But Xue Rin, who was already vomiting and his eyes were glazed, pounced, and the whole person actually missed the trunk of the tree and fell into the bushes behind the tree.

"Ahh

"What is this?"

Xue Rin lay on his back in the bushes full of thorny vines, and when his body moved, he was pricked by the thorns.

"Don't come here, this plant has thorns, you're going to get hurt!"

Xue Rin saw that Yao Zhixia was already standing on the periphery of the bushes, and was about to reach out to pull away the vine man, so he hurriedly stopped her.

Yao Zhixia quickly looked around, picked up a large branch from the ground, and vigorously picked up all the vines on the periphery.

"Be careful! This leaf is also very sharp!" As Yao Zhixia approached him little by little, Xue Rin's body tensed even tighter, not daring to act rashly.

Yao Zhixia looked at the vine man around Xue Rin's body, and after a second of pause, she directly threw away the branch in her hand, gritted her teeth and picked away the vine man with her hand.

She didn't care about the pain of her hands and arms being cut by the thorns on the vine man, so she stuck her arms under Xue Rin who was lying in the bushes and dragged him up with all her might.

Xue Rin took advantage of this force to stand up on the ground with his feet, and pressed outward with his arms around Yao Zhixia's back.

Yao Zhixia was so pressed by his body that his feet shook straight down, and finally couldn't support his weight and leaned back.

Xue Rin's eyes were quick, he protected Yao Zhixia's head with one hand, hugged her back with the other, and used his waist to turn Yao Zhixia to himself, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Finding that he was hugged tightly in front of Xue Rin, Yao Zhixia hurriedly struggled to get up from him, and helped him up from the ground.

"How are you, are you hurt?" Yao Zhixia asked him eagerly as she checked Xue Rin's back.

Xue Rin waved his hand, rubbed his aching back again, and said helplessly: "Next time, let's eat canned food!"
