Chapter 141: Whispering
There wasn't much left to touch Tarrant, his eyes resting on a crack in the top of the rock, waiting blankly for the next step.
Katrina leaned in to him, "Be optimistic, it's about our friends." ”
Tarrant turned his head.
"Haha, I know you're going to care, you know, Kitty is still alive and completely fine", she said happily, looking at Tarrant with anticipation.
"Kitty, hasn't she been here?" Tarrant looked incomprehensible, he remembered that her voice had been around him.
"Huh?!!, how could you ......," Catrina looked surprised, "you were still unconscious!"
"Uh...... I'm not sure", Tarrant distinctly remembered hearing Kitty's voice, but he wasn't sure what it was, and now that he thought about it, it seemed like a dream, a dream of distantness," I heard her...... There's a scar......"
"Yes, you really hear it! There's a little cut on her waist," she said, nodding at her waist.
"That day...... How did she get up?"
"She woke up when the ranger climbed down, and it is said that it was only because of the impact of the fall that caused her some loose injuries, a small raised stone stabbed her waist, and then the two of them climbed up from the cliff, and they didn't need a suspension to come up, which was amazing. ”
Tarrant recalls that the rattan was still in the way when the earth spirit threw Kitty out, so the momentum of the outward rush was blocked, Kitty fell vertically, and the dense leaves on the cliff could hold her, it was too chaotic and he didn't think of this at the time.
"And you heard the others, too?" said Katrina's eyes suddenly.
"Hmm...... I can't remember, maybe you prompted me to remember, such as which ones?"
"Damn!" Katrina held up the basin and knocked on the door of his head.
"Ahh
"You're lying comfortably in bed, and I've been with you for twenty-five days! I'm starting to stink, and my robes look like they've been picked up in the sewers! You damn thing you've been pretending to be asleep!" the tub slammed on the door of his head again.
"Ahh......h Comatose ......"
"Comatose", Katrina haha, her eyes flashing with murderous aura.
"Yes, it was your voice that woke me up, I only heard your voice in the dark, you woke me up", Tarrant said in one breath, "It was you who gave me energy and let me get rid of my confusion, and your voice led me to the light!"
"Oh?" the mage looked him in the eye, half-convinced.
"I still hear ......," Tarrant stifled, "you asked me to take you to the carving exhibition." ”
"Die!" "The wooden basin came again, only with much less power, and she blushed, "A paladin actually overheard a girl's whisper. ”
"Isn't that what you told me?" Tarrant smirked.
"Goo-" There was an empty echo in his stomach.
"Ha, it's been twenty-five days, and I haven't starved to death," Katrina said, taking out the fruit from the tub, "and taste it." ”
Tarrant took one, a fruit surrounded by a brown shell, with a hint of green on the inside, and no smell, "What is it?"
"Green needles, picked from the green needles outside, very fresh", she peeled off the shell, the green fruit was shiny, "taste", she stuffed it into Tarrant's mouth.
It was slightly hard to chew and had a slight sour taste, which stimulated the mouth to secrete more appetite, "Oh, it tastes good", Tarrant looked at the fruit in his hand, the variety he had never seen before, his knowledge of the plant was limited to the poisonous and harmful part, Stewart might know the green needle.
"Of course, the gift of nature, 'Goo' also likes to eat this", Katrina continued to peel off one.
"What's 'goo'?" said Tarrant, enjoying the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, and he secretly remembered the green needle fruit, and would look for the plant when he couldn't find food in the wilderness.
"My new friend, he loves to eat this too", Katrina showed two dimples, "it stayed with me for a while, Kitty said to treat it as a friend, hehe, I did it." ”
This scene seemed to have happened somewhere, Tarrant couldn't remember clearly, that friend, she had talked about, as if ...... "Where is it?" Tarrant really couldn't remember, and had a headache.
"Flew away, come to see me occasionally", she expertly peeled off the two mouths that pushed Tarrant.
"Flew away?!" Tarrant stopped chewing with the green needle in his mouth, "what is it?"
"Oh...... It's ......"
"Bell-" The melodious sound of flapping wings lingered outside the cave.
"Haha, it's coming, it must be hungry again", Katrina stopped what she was doing and walked to the hole.
"Bellbirds?" Tarrant shouted.
"Yes", a white bird flew in after Katrina, Bell excitedly searching for food.
"Have you tamed it?" Tarrant stared at the bellbird in surprise, they are very wary of humans and usually scare it away even if they are fed.
"It's not taming, it's communication", corrected Katrina, "give it freedom and it will respect you, it reminds me of the one we had when we were young, we were so unkind", she peeled off a green needle fruit.
Tarrant opened his mouth, and the fruit was thrown into the bellbird's beak.
"'Goo', he's awake, look, doesn't look like a pig," she snickered and rubbed the bird's back.
"Coo!" Shiratori nodded, and the fruit slipped through its throat into its belly.
"Hahaha, that's cute, come on", she peeled off another one.
"Hey, Master, isn't this for me?" Tarrant watched in amazement as the thumb-sized fruit was swallowed by the bird, and he began to worry that the bird would choke to death.
"This is the food that nature gives to the birds", Katrina sneered as if mocking Tarrant's ignorance, "the fruit of the green needle tree is swallowed by the birds and digested, and the real seeds are excreted with the bird droppings, which are dispersed in this way." ”
“...... Oh...... I see," Tarrant nodded with an embarrassed expression.
"Open her mouth", Catrina peeled one out and placed it in front of Tarrant.
"Thanks, I'm full", he gave her a very affirmative look.
"'Goo', come," Katrina tucked the fruit into the bird's beak, "Did you see anything today?"
"Goo-goo...... Cuckoo...... Coo...... "The white bird walks back and forth by the stone bed.
Now Tarrant was even more surprised, "You learned bird language?!"
"Of course not," Catrina said, "the ranger said my motives were profit-driven, and didn't teach me...... Sooner or later. ”
"Hehehe, the rangers' vision has always been unique", Tarrant looked at the bird, there were not many opportunities to observe it so closely, the bellbird in the White Mist area would not let humans enter the five-step range of it.
"However, after these few days of getting along, I think respecting its freedom is the best language", Catrina suddenly said, "Come up", she spread her hand and held up the white bird, "Look at you, your face is full of mud, where have you gone?"
"Coo", the white bird grinds its little paws on the palm of his hand.
"Hahaha, do you see Kitty?"
The sunlight from the hole shone on Catrina and the harmonious birds, and Tarrant felt that his eyes were a little astringent, and he blinked, his eyelids became heavier, and before he knew it, he slowly merged into a slit, and his voice gradually became softer.
"She's ...... today. Is it ...... That one...... Hehe......"
"Suzu-"
"Eat again...... Don't ......"
I hope it won't be so hard next time I wake up, he said silently.
