"Let's go, you come with me!"

Aori jumped forward like a carefree mulberry elf.

The thin silk, which collapsed between the trunks of the trees, was as tough as steel wire, and after touching her, it suddenly softened, and she casually pulled it aside like a spider's web.

Ye Xi put away the tooth knife, followed her like this, and slowly walked towards the depths of the silkworm ridge.

Silkworm girls like Aori gradually appeared on the ancient mulberry tree.

Most of these silkworm girls lay on the branches of mulberry trees and fell asleep, silently, as if they had been sealed in dust for thousands of years. A handful of silkworm women sit high on the branches of mulberry trees, weaving silkworm cloth softly in the sunlight - their movements are so graceful that they are playing with silk like a harp.

And when Ye Xi walked by, the sleeping silkworm girls opened their eyes one after another, and the silkworm girls who weaved cloth also put down the work in their hands and looked at him curiously with a pair of light gray eyes.

Ye Xi smiled and gestured to them.

There are also fat white and soft silkworm babies lying everywhere in the ancient mulberry tree, their volume is several times larger than the silkworm outside, lying on the tender green mulberry leaves and gnawing the leaves.

簌簌簌.

From time to time, fragments of gnawed mulberry leaves fall from the top of their heads, and occasionally careless silkworm babies fall from the trees.

And whenever this time Aori always catches the silkworm babies in time, silk flies out of the navel eye, and gently sends them up one by one, with extremely gentle movements.

Ye Xi saw the cherished attitude of the silkworm girl towards the silkworm baby, and thought of the corpse of the silkworm baby that he had just stepped on outside casually, as well as the silkworm insect liquid that was still stained under his leather boots, and his heart was weak.

Smack!

At this time, a fat white silkworm baby suddenly fell onto Ye Xi's hair.

Ye Xi grabbed it from her hair.

This giant silkworm baby as big as a small banana struggled hard in his hands, the palms of his hands were soft and cool, and the silkworm skin was tender, as if it could be pinched and exploded with one hand.

Ye Xi shouted at A-Weaving's back: "It's only falling here!"

He didn't want to send the baby silkworm himself, because there were still a lot of shiny silkworms on the top of his head, and it would be too troublesome to get on the mulberry branches.

However, Aori in front of him didn't seem to hear it, and he led the way in front of him, his long snow-white hair flicking one after another.

Ye Xi was helpless.

There was a sudden strangeness in his hand, he looked down and found that the huge silkworm baby in his hand was shaking its head like a small sprinkler and sneezing at him indiscriminately.

Ye Xi: "......"

The silk spit out by this silkworm is actually goose yellow.

Ye Xi twisted one, pulled it, and found that this silk was extremely tough, completely different from ordinary silk.

Could it be that the material of the silkworm cloth does not come from the silkworm girl, but from these fat white silkworm babies?

Suddenly, Ye Xi's eyes were different when he looked at this fat silkworm, and he was a little faintly glowing with green light. Frightened, the fat silkworm shrank and did not dare to sneeze the silk to demonstrate.

On the other side, the silkworm girl Azhi found that Ye Xi didn't follow, and called him from afar: "Come here—"

Ye Xi reluctantly pressed his impatient heart, and chased after the fat silkworm: "A silkworm has fallen." ”

Aori took the fat silkworm with both hands, nodded its head as if he recognized it, and said angrily: "Why are you again, how many times have you fallen this month?"

This fat silkworm was extremely well-behaved in Aori's hands, and she gently rubbed her hand with her head very spiritually.

"You!"

Silk erupted from the eyes of Aori's navel, and she flew to the mulberry tree like a threat, carefully placing the baby silkworm on a mulberry leaf.

Ye Xi asked tentatively: "The silkworm cloth circulating outside, could it be made of silk spit out by these silkworms?"

"Most of them are ......," A-Ori suddenly pointed to the animal skin bag that Ye Xi was carrying, and said with a smile, "The white cloth like yours is wrapped on the outside is made of silk spit by our first silkworms." ”

Ye Xi's spirits perked.

Bet right!

It seems that this strange white cloth is really from Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, and this trip is not in vain!

Ah Zhi looked at Ye Xi and tilted his head and said, "Ye Xi, did you call me just now?"

"Yes, didn't you hear?"

Aori pointed to his ears and blinked his snow-white eyelashes and said seriously: "I'm sorry, we silkworm people have bad ears, and you can't hear us when you shout from behind." ”

Ye Xiqi said: "Then how did you hear me?"

Ah Zhi pointed at Ye Xi's lips with his fingertips: "Look at the mouth shape!"

Ye Xi was stunned.

He suddenly laughed a little bit again, those Yang birds screamed so fiercely around the Mulberry Silkworm Ridge for a long time, but it turned out that the ears of the silkworm girls were not good, maybe they had been sleeping peacefully on the mulberry tree!

Azhi took Ye Xi's hand: "Let's continue walking, the Silkworm King is still waiting!"

Ye Xi was stunned.

This silkworm girl Aori is too unseen.

Her hands are soft and cold, exactly the same as the touch of a silkworm baby, because the skin is so tender that you can even see the blood vessels underneath, as if you can pinch and explode with a slight pinch.

Ye Xi broke away from her hand without a trace, and asked as she walked.

"What was the first silkworm?"

Remembering that Aori said that they had bad ears, he patted her on the shoulder again, looked at her and asked again, "Can you tell me what the first silkworm is?"

Aori stood and pointed into the distance: "Look!"

Ye Xi looked in the direction that Aori pointed.

I saw that in the mulberry forest in the distance, there were dense white cocoons hanging overhanging, these cocoons were covered by dense mulberry leaves, and the distance was a little far, so that Ye Xi didn't notice it at all just now.

A-Ori continued to walk forward, and Ye Xi followed.

There are more and more silkworms, almost connected into white cobwebs, and there are more and more silkworm girls on the mulberry trees, standing or sitting, watching them all the way.

The deepest part of the Main Ridge.

Ye Xi looked up and looked around in shock.

The ancient mulberry trees as huge as the Luan tree, the layers of mulberry leaves, the countless beautiful silkworm girls standing on the treetops, the dense silk like cotton candy everywhere, and the huge white cocoons the size of babies hanging from the branches.

At this moment, a huge white cocoon shook, and a crack suddenly appeared in the cocoon.

Bang on the ground.

The entire white cocoon suddenly burst open in the middle.

Countless black silkworm babies like ants poured out frantically, and all of them fell on the silk below, and then they wriggled and crawled along the silk to the surrounding mulberry trees.

Aori's girl-like shrill voice sounded again: "These are the first silkworms that hatched from the big cocoon. The first generation of silkworms can live for two years, and will lay eggs once before death, and the first generation of silkworms are ordinary silkworms, and all of them are not allowed to enter the main ridge. ”

Ye Xi nodded.

No wonder the silkworms in the main ridge are so large, and the silkworms outside the main ridge are so small, and they have died so much, the silkworm girls don't look very sad.

Suddenly thinking of something, Ye Xi asked a little creepy: "These big cocoons...... Did you give birth to it?"

The first silkworm was only the size of a banana, and it was impossible to make such a large cocoon.

And if it's born by silkworm girls, the taste is really heavy, giving birth to a bunch of insects or something......

I saw Aori sigh and said with infinite regret: "It would be nice if it was, but it's a pity that we don't have a male clansman and can't give birth." ”

There are no male clansmen.

Ye Xi was curious: "Then how did you get here?"

Aori pointed to the trembling white cocoons hanging in mid-air, "We were born from here, too." ”

Ye Xi was even more strange: "Then who gave birth to these cocoons?"

Aori turned his head to look at the top of the ancient mulberry tree, which was tall.

Ye Xi followed her line of sight, and saw a snow-white white silkworm as big as a bus lying on the top of the tree, squirming slowly and laboriously.

“...... Of course, it's our silkworm king. ”

Aori's eyes were sparkling.
