The friction sound of "rustling" echoed in the ears, like the murmur of the Yellow Spring Road, which beckoned people to return to their souls.

Tao Yuan's consciousness was suddenly pulled back to his body, and he suddenly felt that the skin of his whole body was painful, thinking that it was caused by the impact of the big water, hitting the stone wall in the cave back and forth, but fortunately, it was in the water, and there was enough buffer, otherwise such an impact, even if it was Tao Yuan's body, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago and could not die again.

It wasn't the weight of one person, it was two people, and Elliejie was in his arms, and he was her shield.

Tao Yuan himself didn't know why he did that, maybe it was just because the carvings on the stone wall were irregular, the blood stains ❤ on the stone, or he wanted his misanthropy to be more valuable.

Yes, Tao Yuan told himself for sure that it was only because he wanted his misanthropy to become valuable, in fact, he had always done so, to everyone who was worthy.

As usual caution, he didn't make any immediate movements, not even open his eyes.

His slightly quivering ears made the most of his hearing, listening to all the sounds around him.

"The sound of the rubbing of the wood, the breath of a person when he exerts force, the breath is very shallow, it is a woman, and only a woman will habitually breathe with her chest. ”

Tao Yuan quickly concluded that there was only one woman here besides himself, a woman who was rubbing the wood hard.

He quietly squinted his eyes, shaking them from side to side, and in the process, he controlled even his breathing at the previous frequency, without the slightest change.

The oblique sunlight was extremely dazzling, not because there was plenty of sunlight here, but because Tao Yuan had just opened his eyes and was not used to the light.

After a few seconds, the eyes adjusted to the harsh glow, and the world began to slowly become clearer.

This is a small cave, at most two or three meters high, no more than four meters wide, the depth is not short, a full five or six meters, Tao Yuan is now lying in the deepest part of the cave.

At the entrance of the cave, a slender woman with a white fur around her body and her shoulders as jade-like as jade.

A long, slightly curly hair was fluffy behind him, trembling slightly with the strength of his arms.

Tao Yuan recognized at a glance that the fur was the eight skins in his bag, and the woman was Ai Lijie.

At the moment, Ellijie was holding a wooden stick in her hands, trying hard to drill on a piece of dead wood, looking at the beads of sweat dripping from the tip of her nose on the side of her face, she thought that she had been drilling for a long time.

Wisps of green smoke began to rise from the round pit under the drilled wood, and Ellie knew that she was about to succeed, and the corners of her happy mouth rose, and her hands couldn't help but speed up.

The green smoke grew thicker and thicker, and even in the sunlight at the entrance of the cave, a faint red spark could be seen.

Ellie carefully poured the sparks in the pit into the dead grass ball that was kneaded into the shape of a bird's nest beside her, and then carefully picked up the dead grass ball with both hands, knelt on the ground facing south, stretched out her arms, and bowed down gently and evenly.

The light outside the cave gilded her face with a holy light.

"Bang!"

There was a soft sound, and as Ellie knelt down, a red flame rose in the center of the withered grass.

Ancient stone caves, colorful jungles, girls in white animal skins, and a rising bonfire.

At this moment, Tao Yuan felt that he was in an ancient time from thousands of years ago, the beautiful witch was stealing the heavenly fire, and the people of the Yunyun tribe knelt down and bowed around, chanting the rhythm of gratitude together.

The only pity is that the people are the only ones who are themselves.

"Will you drill wood for fire?"

After Tao Yuan was sure that he was safe, he completely opened his eyes and asked.

When Ellie heard this, she jumped up on the ground like a bird, and the pious solemnity of her prostrations disappeared at once, and she returned to the spirit of the modern girl.

"How's that?

Tao Yuan held his sore skin, gritted his teeth and sat up, nodded and said:

"It wasn't easy, but you did a great job and every step was perfect. ”

Ellijie was praised by Tao Yuan, smiled even more happily, and couldn't close her mouth and said:

"This is what my father taught me, he said that the god of fire is in the south of the sky, and you must bow down religiously, so that the fire of heaven will burn in the palm of your hand. ”

Tao Yuan wanted to say that facing south was to get the temperature of the sun, and kneeling down was because the air flow close to the ground was more stable, but after all, he didn't say it, he was a person who only valued the result.

Science and theology are just names, whether it is the friction of science or God's gift, it will not change the result, after all, science cannot give a standard definition of fire.

But one thing is for sure, the first primitive man to discover drilling wood for fire must have obtained a "miracle".

Looking at the poker face that had returned to silence again, Ellie raised the corners of her mouth and asked:

"Are you hungry? I'll go to the stream in front of the cave to catch some fish. ”

Tao Yuan glanced at the seven-colored halo that was faintly visible outside the cave, and there was no emotion in his voice:

"It's dangerous near the water. ”

Ellie squinted with a smile, shook her head, and said:

"It's okay, it's safe here, wait for me!"

As she spoke, the big girl was already running happily to the stream outside the cave, and she went to catch fish with her bare hands.

Tao Yuan looked at Ellie's slender and lovely back, his pupils constricted a few times, he knew that Elliejie must have caught a fish, because when Elliejie approached, he smelled a faint water, just like the smell of a river in the early morning.

He remembered that when they first encountered the terrible shadow on the beach, Laura and Ellie had mentioned that it was not unpleasant.

A rich chill and sadness permeated Tao Yuan's whole body.

Not long after, Alyselle had already run back to the cave with a few palm-sized river fish on the cattails, and the smile on her face was bright, blowing away the seven-colored rhythm of the mist.

This beautiful girl, since Tao Yuan woke up, has been smiling happily, and the corners of her mouth have not fallen for a moment, not as quiet as before.

Tao Yuan swore that he had never seen someone who liked to laugh so much, especially when he smiled so well, but the more he did, the heavier his heart sank, the colder his body became.

The aroma of grilled fish fills the air, and it is so rich in this small cave that it is mouth-watering.

Although Tao Yuan's body was still sore, fortunately, his bones were not injured, and his previous training allowed him to endure these injuries.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, came to the campfire, and was about to turn it with a wooden stick in his hand, but was slapped by Ellijie on his hand:

"Don't move, I'll bake it for you, don't let you move!"

That look, like a girl who is spoiled by her lover, without the slightest pretentiousness.

But Tao Yuan knew that they were not lovers, and Ellie Jie knew it very well.

At this time, Ellijie is very much like a newlywed wife who is busy in the kitchen, she is not good at cooking, but she is serious and careful.

Not only did she not let Tao Yuan grill the fish by hand, but even the cooked fish had to be peeled and fed to Tao Yuan little by little.

Tao Yuan didn't refuse, and ate the fish clean one bite at a time.

Seeing that Tao Yuan was not full, Ellijie was about to start roasting the next one, but saw Tao Yuan stretch out his hand and slapped Ellijie's hand away, her voice was still as calm as before, and she said softly: .

"This time... I'll bake it. ”

Ellie's face, which had been smiling, stiffened suddenly, and there was a panic in her eyes......
