Chapter 43: Punishment Mission-Investigation of the Disappearance of Seven Wolf Peaks (5)
"Senior, aren't you going to do something?" Ryuichi asked, Mai Kurosaki and Mari Fujii didn't lower their voices at all, and the conversation between the two was completely overheard by Ryuichi and Akira Fukuoka.
I always feel like I have to kneel in the rhythm, is this kind of team really okay?
"Ahem." Akira Fukuoka coughed twice, and if Ryuichi was not mistaken, he seemed to be blushing?
No, it must be the rays of the setting sun, it must be.
"Listen to my junior, if there is a war between two women, your wisest choice is to do nothing." Fukuoka Akira solemnly taught Ryuichi the experience of the people who had come before, and added at the end: "It doesn't matter how old these two women are. ”
As the sun gradually shifted, the clear cries of the returning Bobo group sounded over the forest, and the tents of Ryuichi and Fukuoka Akira gradually took shape.
The first to come back were Mai Kurosaki and Mari Fujii, each holding some fruit that resembled an apple, with a marsh king and a Mary Luli behind them, and two elves holding branches in their hands.
Fukuoka Jing slapped him in the face: "Girls, I'm glad you brought us fresh fruits, but what's the matter with those branches?" ”
Kurosaki Mai's face was expressionless, and Mari Fujii looked strange: "Didn't you ask me to collect firewood?" ”
The dragon glanced at it and shook his head.
The branches on the hands of the two elves were all dark brown in color, and some of them had water droplets on them.
What is the use of such firewood?
Akira Fukuoka explains, "It is dangerous for Numao's skin to become dry, so once it leaves the water, it will always release moisture from its body and keep its skin moist. It's strange that you let it hold the branches so that they don't get wet, but Mariluli is too close to the Swamp King, and the water spirits themselves are attracted to water vapor, so the branches on its hands are also wet. ”
Mari Fujii glanced back, although it was much better than the Marsh King's hand, but the branch that Mary Luli was holding was really tidal, and it couldn't be used to make a fire at all.
"I haven't spent the night in the forest, so I don't know that." She blushed.
Even the 10,000-year-old poker-faced Kurosaki Mai couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth at this time.
"Miscalculated." She took out the Poké Ball and retrieved it from the Swamp King, "Please act as if nothing happened." With that, he put the apple on the ground, turned and walked back.
Mari Fujii bit her lip, put down the apple and followed.
She didn't want to look more useless than the little sprouts that didn't develop.
Ryuichi and Akira Fukuoka continue to work.
After that, Nobi Komura returned.
Behind him was a Haoli, easily carrying two buckets full of water, while Yebi Xiaocun himself carried a pile of pebblestones.
"This can be used to make a fire pit." He said, his tone returning to the feeling of weakness he had when he met.
"Good job Nobi-kun, can you go and help Miyazaki-kun, he's not very good at setting up tents."
"Okay."
Nobi Komura can recite the steps of setting up a tent backwards, although his strength is not very good, but he has heroic power.
With his help, Ryuichi quickly managed to get his own tent.
"Huh~ I didn't expect it to be so hard to set up a tent, Xie Laye is more senior than the senior." Ryuichi wiped his sweat.
At this time, Fukuoka Akira was also set up, and with the sound of footsteps, Mai Kurosaki and Mari Fujii walked out of the forest, holding dry firewood in their hands.
"Good start, let's get the fire up."
The camp was set up in a clearing in the forest by the riverbank, with the forest on three sides and the river on the other, and the two tents were in a horn position, one on the left and one on the right.
Fukuoka chose an open space in the middle of the tent.
He first surrounded a simple fire pit with goose soft stones picked up from the village of Yebi to prevent the fire from spreading. Then put some branches inside, not the kind of simple flat laying, but seven high and eight low, similar to a campfire, leaving enough gaps to facilitate air circulation.
"Does anyone have a fire-based spirit or a fire-based trick?"
"I have." Mari Fujii said, releasing a lava worm that ignited the branches with sparks.
Crackling~
The dead branches that had been hollowed out by insects made a loud noise, and the orange-yellow flames burned quietly, illuminating a few young cheeks.
It's always good to have fire, and the flame fills people with hope and peace of mind, especially in such a wilderness.
Except for Fukuoka Crystal, the rest of the team was actually spending the night in the field for the first time, so the moment the flames were lit, they were inexplicably relieved.
Including the poker-faced Kurosaki Mai, the corners of his mouth seem to be curled up a little.
"Good start, now that we have a fire and a tent, it's time for a delicious camping dinner." Akira Fukuoka pulled food out of her backpack - some quick canned food and pelleted pixie food.
Ryuichi's food is the same as him, Nobi Komura brought instant cup noodles, Mari Fujii is canned fruit, and Kurosaki Mai silently took out an energy bar from his waist bag.
"Come out, my partner."
Pikachu, 3-in-1 Magneto, Fluffy Sheep and Luck Cat, Fukuoka Akira released several elves of her own.
Ryuichi also released his own spirit.
Ashplain, Aber, Korakola, Lobster Creep.
Geng doesn't need to eat, and the Carp King prepares to wait for the night to be released into the river.
The elves of the village of Yebi are Haoli, Pyras, and Ironshell; Mari Fujii's elves are Bibi Bird, Mary Luli, Lava Bug, Goo Niu and Queen Bee; Kurosaki dances the Dumbbeast, the Swamp King, and the Reachable Duck.
"Come on, let's dinner, everyone." One by one, several people prepared food for their respective elves.
Hey.
The lobster creeps pick up some pixie food with their pincers and release it to watch them fall, looking listless.
Syllable!
Long Yi gave it a light touch with a spoon and shook his head: "Don't be picky." ”
Hey!
The lobster creep chooses to protest, but the protest is ineffective, so he has to eat obediently in order not to go hungry.
The snake looked down and sniffed, spat out the letter, and without saying a word, swam up to a tree in the distance—it usually sleeps wrapped around the tree when it rests.
Long Yi didn't care about it, and Ah Bai Snake didn't eat for a few days.
Korakola and Gray Plains were the most obedient, one sitting on the ground with two small hands grasping food and sending it to his mouth, and the other lying there and eating deliciously with his mouth.
At this time, Gray Yuan's injuries had almost recovered, but he was a little weaker than usual, and the hair on his back was gone.
Ryuchi handed the food of the Aba snake to Mai Kurosaki: "Here, although it's not much, but at least it can make them rest their stomachs." ”
Mai Kurosaki didn't even prepare much of her own food, let alone elves.
"Do you have any intentions for my young girl's body?" She said, clasping her arms in horror.
Ryuichi shook his head and put the plate on the ground, he was hopeless about Mai Kurosaki's mouth.
At this moment, it was slowly getting dark, and several people sat in a circle around the campfire.
Ryuichi and Akira Fukuoka roasted the canned food over a fire, while Nobi Komura boiled some boiling water and soaked the noodles.
Call~
When the lid is lifted, a rich aroma of meat hits, and the dark beef is paired with a rich soup, which is not delicious, but it is rare in this forest.
The sky is high and the earth is wide, and on this island far away from civilized society, leaving the only human building to sleep in the wilderness at night, a different feeling floats in my heart.
Mari Fujii suddenly hummed an unknown ballad, didn't sing it, just hummed simply, and looked at the night sky with big eyes that aimed at the eyeliner.
Long and the others listened quietly and ate quietly.
Soon, the song was hummed.
"It's a beautiful piece that reminds me of the taste of my hometown." Long Yi said with a smile, with a meaning that others could not understand.
"Thank you, this is what my mother taught me." She said, smiling beautifully.
