Chapter 43: Deep in the Jungle 1
After lighting the fire, the wizard and Ding Ning began to cook. Tian Luo did not know how to cook, but sat alone away from the fire after the fire was raised, and she always stayed away from such hot things.
The fragrance is overflowing, although it is just a simple stew, but the tempting taste makes all the children swallow without stopping. Their eyes were fixed on the wizard, but none of them stepped forward, huddled to the side in groups, nibbling on the 'rent' ----- steamed buns and flatbread that the wizard had promised them.
The delicious food came out of the pot, and the field basket that couldn't smell the aroma was still sitting on the side and nibbling on the wild fruit. The wizard and Ding Ning were not surprised, and each served a bowl to eat, and the amazing thing was that even if the two of them ate, the masks still did not leave their faces.
The sound of small children swallowing saliva is especially noticeable in the silent woods. Gradually, young children approached the wizard and them, but they were immediately scolded back. After the wizard and Ding Ning finished eating, they cleaned up their dishes and chopsticks, and sat down beside Tian Luo, ignoring the messy stew that still had a lot left.
Su'er walked over suddenly, the wizard and Ding Ning calmly studied one route, the other rubbed the sword, and only Tian Luo raised his head slightly to stare at Su'er's every move.
"I... I want to..."
Su'er stumbled and couldn't speak, obviously still thinking about Tian Luo's previous "bad intentions".
"Want soup?" Tian Luo couldn't wait to ask, she knew that the wizard had made an extraordinary amount of food for the children today, but the two of them also wanted to try to tempt and tempt the children, to see if they could use the food set to get some news, but they didn't expect that although this group of children lived in the wilderness, they were really restrained, and now that the little leader of Su'er was finally dispatched, Tian Luo couldn't hold back the city government in the first place.
"I want to borrow your fire and decoction for my brother." Su'er glanced at the fire and swallowed his saliva secretly, but thinking of his brother lying there who didn't know anyone, he still chose to borrow the fire rationally. Since my brother fell ill, they have never touched the fire again, because they can't make a fire.
"As long as you answer our questions honestly, I will save your brother." The wizard couldn't make a plan for food, and immediately grabbed the rescue plan. Although it is really immoral and immoral to make a deal with children, he is not one of those people who is bound by the so-called moral conscience, as long as the goal can be achieved, he doesn't care about the method, not to mention, his original intention is to help these children.
But the result was unexpected again, and Su'er calmly refused: "No, I can save my brother." ”
The three of them were really surprised. A toddler who is only 6 years old actually said that he can save his brother. You must know that the medicinal materials that the wizards fulfilled their promises to give to the children are very miscellaneous, and most of them are used to prepare gold creation medicine and typhoid medicine. Although they did not have a chance to look at the unconscious child, he did not look like he was injured or had typhoid fever, he was just quietly asleep, without blood, without chills and shivering, but his face was sick, and he could tell that he must be sick.
Although they didn't worry about letting a child save their brother, the wizards decided to wait and see what happened, and if something was wrong, they would stop it. After all, without the cooperation of the children, they can only rely on their own observation.
Su'er got permission and excitedly ran back to the kids' pile. He took out all the medicinal herbs they had given, and then ran deeper into the woods behind the clearing. The wizard and Ding Ning gestured to each other, and then Ding Ning disappeared silently.
The children quickly nibbled on the pitiful cold dry food they had in their hands, and the messy stew on the fire was still bubbling and fragrant. Without the suppression of the children, the children were obviously tempted by the food and could not control themselves, and gradually moved closer to the fire. Tian Luo couldn't stand it anymore, so he went straight to the carriage and took out all the containers they could use, walked up to the children, and gave them the containers one by one, but the children did not refuse.
The children finally had a hot soup, though they still didn't answer the questions. And Ding Ning followed Xu'er and gradually went deep into the dense forest. And he found that this forest was very difficult to walk, not only because the trees were dense and the sky was dark, but what was even more strange was that this forest seemed to have been 'deliberately' arranged, and ordinary people had to get lost after a while when they came in, and even he was reluctant to move forward because of his five senses, but Xu'er walked very smoothly, as if all obstacles were invisible to him, and his small body drilled left and around, and the speed was very fast. No wonder the boy didn't care about their prying eyes when he got permission to use fire, and just broke into the woods.
Ding Ning frowned suspiciously, concentrated on following Xu'er, and gradually the surrounding environment changed, although the sky was very dark, but there was gradually a light flickering in the woods here, it should be fireflies, I didn't expect that there were fireflies in the already very cold mountain forests that would only appear on summer nights.
The trees gradually thinned, but Su'er suddenly disappeared in front of a large tree. Ding Ning was surprised, it seems that this place is not simple. He followed the trail of Xu'er and walked to the big tree, and checked the big tree in front of him with his hand except for the big one, but there was nothing special about it, but he found nothing. Could it be that he encountered something unexplainable. Ding Ning thought of Tian Luo, and then he saw that Tian Luo really appeared in front of his eyes!
Although the stew did not allow the children to tell where they came from, it also let go of some of their wariness against Tian Luo and the two, so the wizard went to check on the unconscious child.
The boy was older, probably the eldest of the group, for he already had the shape of a teenager. Tian Luo estimated that he should be more than 10 years old, and his face was beautiful. Although he slept on mounds and black soil, he was very neat, at least not covered in dirt like other children, and it was obvious that he must have been a clean-loving child.
Tian Luo observed the children, and was attracted by the skillful movements of the wizard's consultation. I have to sigh that the barbarian wizard can not only catch demons, but also see a doctor, it can't be more versatile. But what's going on with Ding Ning, why hasn't he come back yet? On the contrary, the figure of Xu'er was already looming at the edge of the clearing.
Sure enough, after a while, Su'er appeared in the clearing. What he was holding in his hand was no longer the messy medicinal herbs wrapped in paper just now, but a large banana leaf, on which were neatly stacked with obviously preliminarily treated medicinal herbs, mixed with some pieces of unknown plants that were not given to him by Tian Luo.
Tian Luo gave the wizard a puzzled and shocked look, but the wizard did not say anything. Because what the kid was holding in his hand was indeed the right medicine to heal his brother, but it had a cold aura attached to it! He was on guard for a moment, but then he found that the cold aura seemed to be not aggressive, even soft enough to have no trace of evil, and the wizard was puzzled.
"This soup?" When she walked to the fire, she realized that she didn't have a container to boil medicine. So he stared at the jar where there was still some soup left, and looked inquiringly at Tian Luo and them.
"The soup is specially left for you, you can drink it and then boil medicine for your brother." The wizard replied aloud.
Xu'er ran around, and the steamed buns he just ate had already been digested without a trace, this time he didn't shirk again, and drank the soup as he said, and then refused Tian Luo's help, washed the jar himself, and began to boil the medicine.
For the lack of an adult in the clearing, Su'er didn't reflect at all.
Tian Luo and the wizard secretly discussed, leaving the wizard holding her shell to stay in the clearing, and Tian Luo went into the forest alone to find someone.
