Chapter 35: Pearls
"That's right. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tong Duoduo stuck out his tongue, and was reminded to think of what was the most in the forest--wasn't it just the branches and trees? I seem to be a little stupid.
"Let's go." Ji Ji couldn't help laughing, took off the glove in his right hand, and naturally took her hand and walked in the direction of the cart.
Along the way, Ji Ji felt the soft touch wrapped in his palm, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he wanted to let go of his hand, but he couldn't help but be reluctant. The short stretch seemed to be starting to get long, but he felt like he wished it would never end.
Tong Duoduo didn't realize anything yet, and was still chattering in annoyance while walking. Ji Ji was already nervous in a cold sweat, his left hand was tugging on the glove, and his right hand was holding her hand, and he didn't even dare to work too hard.
Ji Ji walked anxiously all the way, although he didn't hear what Tong Duoduo was talking about clearly, but he felt that the sound in his ears was more beautiful than the call of the most pleasant bird in the forest.
It wasn't until he reached the cart that he sighed reluctantly, let go of his hand and put his gloves back on absentmindedly. When he pushed the cart away, he was still reminiscing......
"Ahh
Ji Ji shivered in pain, and then came back to his senses, he looked at Tong Duoduo, who suddenly stretched out his foot and stepped on him, thinking that his mind had been seen through, and his heart was involuntarily empty, and his face inevitably came out.
"You're going too far."
Tong Duoduo was a little aggrieved by Ji Ji's silence, sighing, and absent-mindedness, and he stepped on his feet without thinking about it, and looked at him with an accusatory face, "Didn't I just forget it for a while, why are you like this?" ”
Isn't Duoduo angry that she is holding her hand?
Ji Ji suddenly calmed down, and at the same time was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "I, what's wrong?" ”
Tong Duoduo didn't know why she suddenly became hypocritical when her emotions came up, and she was so inexplicably angry, and she stepped on Ji Ji because of this, and she was asked: "You, why don't you ignore me and sigh?" Are you not satisfied with me for causing you to go a little longer? ”
"I didn't. I'm thinking about something else...... Not next time......"
"Hmph."
Tong Duoduo glared at him, watching him blushing and lowering his head before turning his head and walking a few steps quickly, to hide his weakness.
"Duoduo." Ji Ji chased after him with a nervous face.
"I'm not angry, I actually scared you just now, see if you dare to think about other things while I'm talking next time. You're not angry, are you? Tong Duoduo was secretly annoyed that he was really living more and more, and he was awkward with a teenage P child. She quickly adjusted her facial expression and smiled brightly.
"Whew."
Ji Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "No, I'm not angry." ”
"Really? It's good not to be angry. Tong Duoduo gave him a big smile again.
"Really." Ji Ji's eyes were full of Tong Duoduo's smiling faces, and there was no room for anything else in his eyes.
The two of them were silent for a moment, then began to speak as if nothing had happened. Soon the two "returned" to laughing.
It's just that only they know in their own hearts that something seems to be quietly changing, and is slowly taking root and sprouting just waiting for the most suitable time to break through the ground.
......
When they arrived near the cave where Tong Duoduo stored dry branches, the two of them first picked up a lot of slightly damp branches and put them on the cart, pushed the cart to the entrance of the cave, removed the stones at the entrance of the cave, and took the branches in and spread them out. The two of them took the dry branches, re-plugged the hole, and pushed the cart back.
Carrying the dry branches to a tall and flat boulder by the sea, before Tong Duoduo could do it, Ji Ji began to skillfully build a fire, picked up stones and built a simple stove shelf filled with seawater conch.
Ji Ji was busy working, and Tong Duoduo had already pried open the big shell, and she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth when she looked at the huge pearl that was shining in the shell.
Holding the pearl in his hand, Tong Duoduo's eyes are shining, such a round and big, and excellent luster pearl, how many women will not like it?
She looked to the beach, where there were so many of them that even a 1 in 10 chance that there would be only one pearl in them.
She has reason to believe that no matter what world she is in, pearls will be sought after by women and will be the number one luxury item in the row. She didn't think that she would stay in the Purple Moon Forest forever, maybe she might leave one day. There is a saying that if you have money, you can go all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money.
In an instant, Tong Duoduo made up his mind that even if he needed to spend the night on the beach today, he would take the pearls on this beach. If you don't harvest it today, after the tide rises and falls, tomorrow, these pearl shells are very likely to disappear. I don't know how long I will have to wait for such a good thing to happen next time, and if there is a chance?
"Ji Ji, look." Tong Duoduo turned to face Ji Ji and shouted while holding the pearl.
"What's wrong with Duoduo?" Ji Ji looked up, he was busy building a second simple stove at this time, he saw the pearl in Tong Duoduo's hand and smiled, "Where did this bead come from, it's very beautiful." ”
"It's called a pearl, and it's pry out of this shell, and I love it." Tong Duoduo looked at him expectantly, "I want to stay and pry these pearls out, so that I will spend the night on this beach tonight." ”
"Okay." Ji Ji nodded without the slightest hesitation, "I'll get this fire in my hand and I'll go with you to pry the shells." ”
"It would have been inconvenient to spend the night at the beach, and we didn't bring out a quilt, not even dry dry grass......"
Tong Duoduo looked at him a little hesitantly.
"yes, it's going to be cold at night." Ji Ji looked at Tong Duoduo and frowned and thought for a while, "At night, we will burn the fire a little more vigorously, so I can only sit and sleep with you, otherwise you will definitely not be able to stand the cold." Fortunately, it was only one night, and the patience passed. ”
Tong Duoduo didn't expect Ji Ji to say this, and his eyes widened for a while, "You want to sit and sleep?" ”
"What's that, we used to go out hunting when we were in the tribe, and sometimes we couldn't go back for a few days, so we were out casually making do with the next night and night passed quickly." Ji Ji didn't care about what he said.
"It's just that you are a girl and you must not be able to stand it, when it's okay, I will sleep with you in my arms, and then there is a fire, I will not let you freeze."
"You, you don't think I'm just for these beads...... Isn't it too capricious? ”
Ji Ji didn't know pearls, and he definitely didn't know the preciousness of pearls, but she didn't explain much as soon as she opened her mouth, and he nodded without hesitation when he knew that spending the night outside would be cold and uncomfortable, which made her feel a little guilty and uncomfortable.
