29.Chapter 29: Intentions
Ye Dai's body was weak after her injury, and she easily felt tired. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 So after eating a little bear meat and Ding Chen's locust seeds cooked in stones, I fell asleep groggily. When I opened my eyes again, I could already see the light coming through the gaps in the leaves, and it was clear that the night had passed.
The flames in the fire pit were still burning, it was summer, and the temperature was already high, so after burning all night, the temperature in the cave was already comparable to the usual daytime temperature, Ye Dai was wrapped in bear skin and even slept sweating.
She asked Ding Chen before going to bed yesterday, so now she knows why Ding Chen is digging two pits that are connected together.
The smaller pit can be used as a passage for air to enter the fire pit, and at the same time as a way to pull out the ashes burned under the fire pit. According to Ding Chen, if they can get potatoes now, they can even bury them in the ashes and roast them.
Ye Dai glanced at the fire pit and made sure that the bonfire was burning well, so her eyes left the fire pit and fell on Ding Chen. I saw that Ding Chen had fallen asleep against the stone wall at the bottom of the cave at some point, and there was still a cut bear meat behind him to keep out the cold.
The firelight danced and shone on Ding Chen's body, and after the light and shadow were superimposed, Ding Chen's angular face looked even deeper and mysterious.
Bear meat can't wrap Ding Chen's whole body, so Ye Dai can see Ding Chen's red/bare chest, and he found that Ding Chen's muscles are not particularly prominent, but the dividing line is very obvious, even if he sits there, he can see the clearly outlined abdominal muscles.
Seeing Ding Chen sleeping with a black knife, Ye Dai suddenly realized that from the time the two of them fell into the water yesterday to the time he fell asleep just now, Ding Chen had not rested.
The last time Ding Chen killed the wild boar with a knife, many people thought that he was bold and lucky, Ye Dai was one of the few people who saw Ding Chen's movements with his own eyes at that time, so he admitted that his force value was very strong, but now it seems that the evaluation of Ding Chen in the past was obviously underestimated.
After struggling for hours in the icy waters, he set up the shelter on his own as soon as he came ashore, killed an adult black bear, and lit a bonfire on a rainy day. If it was when she was in the apartment, someone told her that a man could do this alone, Ye Dai would definitely not believe it, but now that she saw Ding Chen complete all this, Ye Dai felt very real and was not surprised at all.
She looked at Ding Chen's sleeping face, and a trace of guilt rose in her heart. There is no doubt that Ding Chen must have been tired yesterday, if it weren't for taking care of himself, the wounded, he could certainly have had an easier life. At least you can save a lot of work.
Remembering that just a day ago, she was still thinking about how to get rid of the man in front of her, Ye Dai suddenly felt a little entangled. She didn't know how to face the question of Ding Chen's whereabouts after returning to the apartment.
Thinking of this, she moved her body uneasily, and wanted to add some firewood next to the fire pit, and when she got up, she made a soft sound, so Ding Chen immediately opened her eyes vigilantly, and saw that it was Ye Dai who made the sound, so she relaxed and asked softly, "Is it convenient for you to go out?" Don't go too far, call me for anything. ”
Hearing Ding Chen say this, Ye Dai suddenly felt that she should indeed go out, she hummed a little shyly, got up and walked towards the exit that Ding Chen left yesterday, and then found that Ding Chen's pants were blocked there.
Ye Dai was startled, and said in her heart that Ding Chen's pants are here, so what is he wearing? Thinking like this, she subconsciously looked back, only to find that Ding Chen's lower body was surrounded by a bunch of leaves. Seeing Ding Chen's image of such an ancient one, Ye Dai couldn't help it anymore, and laughed out loud.
Ding Chen saw her gaze fall on him, and immediately realized what Ye Dai was laughing at? He straightened his face and said, "Do you want to see the ****?" ”
Although Ye Dai didn't know who the "afternoon horse" was, she didn't delay her understanding of Ding Chen's meaning, and she was suddenly startled, and she didn't care about continuing to laugh at the original battle of Ding Chen's cottage, so she hurriedly pulled off her pants that had been blown by the wind and got out of the cave.
By the time she came back from outside the cave with a blushing face, Ding Chen had already put on her pants and started boiling water with stones again.
In the middle of the night, the rain outside had stopped, and the hillside was not high, and there was not much water in the rocks, so the amount of water seeping out of the cracks in the rocks also decreased quickly, but fortunately they had a way to boil the water and could drink the surface water.
Ding Chen saw Ye Dai coming back, got up and said, "I'll go to the river." If your clothes are dry, change them! ”
Ye Dai agreed, and then reacted, and found that Ding Chen had not only put back his pants, but also the shirt that he lent her yesterday.
Looking at Ding Chen, who was dressed again, Ye Dai couldn't help but feel a little pity. Of course, she is not the figure of a Ding Chen, although there are not many men in the apartment, thanks to the heavy manual labor, there is no shortage of good figures. Like "Duke" and Zheng Tai, they all have to be regarded as men. Even if no one specifically stripped naked and dangled in front of Ye Dai, he inadvertently saw a lot on weekdays.
Last night, Ye Dai had already determined that Ding Chen's back had a very beautiful image tattooed, but during the day, when she was still very weak and lacked energy, she didn't see the whole image clearly. At night, the light in the cave was so weak that she couldn't see it clearly. I was going to find a chance to take a closer look after dawn, but I didn't expect Ding Chen to put his clothes back on so quickly without giving him a chance.
Ding Chen naturally didn't know what Ye Dai was thinking. Unexpectedly, Ye Dai's curiosity is actually very heavy, and she is not as cold as she usually shows. Seeing Ye Dai staring at herself and not speaking, she thought that she didn't dare to stay alone in the cave, so she thought about taking out her saber and handed it to her, "If it's okay, barbecue some more meat." ”
After the rain stops, the temperature will rise quickly as soon as the sun comes out, and the high temperature combined with the high humidity, coupled with the various insects that come out, the bear meat will quickly spoil. However, after being baked, it can last for a while longer, at least to ensure food for two people today.
Ye Dai took the saber, knowing that this was for self-defense, and finally couldn't help asking, "What are you doing by the river?" ”
"Do you think Li Xiang will they come down the river to find us?" Ding Chen asked.
Ye Dai was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "It should be." ”
"That's what I thought too." Ding Chen said: "Even if they don't care about my life or death, they won't be willing to lose an engineer." He shrugged, "You're a little bit more watery as an engineer, but it's better than nothing." They always have to try to recoup their losses, especially when they have just lost their water wheels. ”
Ye Dai couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Thank you for saying something very touching so utilitarian, which makes me feel so much better." ”
Ding Chen ignored her and continued: "So I'm going to go to the river to make some markings, if they find them, they can see it." At this point, he paused and said hopelessly, "If only they could find out that far, of course." ”
"Why do you say that?" Ye Dai asked suspiciously, "What do you mean if they can find out so far?" ”
Ding Chen glanced at her deeply, "How far do you think we have been swept away?" He said: "At least fifty kilometers, probably hundreds of kilometers, if they search along the river, how can they solve the problem of supplies?" ”
Ye Dai was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, and did not speak. Ding Chen picked up the black knife and walked out, "Anyway, let's plan first according to what they can find." ”
