Chapter 190: Aphids

Ye Xi slept darkly this night.

When I woke up, it was already the next afternoon.

In the past half a month, Ye Xi has to fight fierce beasts and beasts during the day and insects at night, and he has not slept a single night. After returning to the tribe, I finally got a good night's sleep, and I woke up refreshed.

Stretching, Ye Xi walked out of the stone house.

That's right, it's a stone house. During the time when Ye Xi went to the grassland, the Tushan people had already built his stone house, and the things inside were all laid out, and the stone table was full of daily necessities, and the best animal skins were laid on the kang with the softest tanning, and there was even a long-haired rabbit carpet on the ground, which looked warm and comfortable.

Last night, Ye Xi washed a little in the stream, changed his clothes, jumped on the soft kang, and slept comfortably.

The sun is just right outside.

Jiaojiao was originally half-squinting and lazily entrenched in the shadows next to the stone house, and when he saw Ye Xi wake up, he seemed to be alive, and suddenly rushed over.

Ye Xi smiled and patted the back of its head.

"Your Excellency, you're awake. The red eagle, who was practicing the bow and arrow, saw Ye Xi's eyes light up, and quickly put away the bow and arrow and walked over.

Ye Xi said with a smile: "I have said it many times, you don't need to call me an adult, you are not my slave." ”

Because Ye Xi saved her, the red eagle has always been very respectful to Ye Xi, and even regarded herself as Ye Xi's slave...... No, rather, followers, followers like the warriors around the black-robed witch.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get you food. The red eagle didn't argue with Ye Xi about this topic, put the bow and arrow on his back, and hurriedly ran towards the cave.

Ye Xi smiled and walked to the big tree that the red eagle used to practice bows and arrows.

The trunk of this large tree is covered with stones in several faint circles, on which there are small potholes created by dense arrowheads, which are unevenly distributed, some in the circle and some outside the circle.

Ye Xi's fingertips ran through the pits.

The freshest pits were all in the circle, and if he remembered correctly, the red eagle had just been a hundred meters away from the tree.

"Red Eagle's talent for bows and arrows is really exaggerated......" Ye Xi sighed.

Red Eagle has been very interested in crossbow arrows since she arrived in Tushan, and the clansmen naturally welcomed this, equipped her with a crossbow arrow, and asked the people of the crossbow team to teach her. The red eagle is very talented, and he is also very diligent in training, and by now, he is already a member of the first team of the crossbow team.

But the red eagle is not satisfied, she practices bows and arrows when she has time, Ye Xi feels her toughness, and will teach her from time to time. And now, just over half a month later, the red eagle has reached this level in the bow and arrow.

found that Ye Xi woke up, and the chieftain and Pu Tai all surrounded the Tushan people.

"Why did this come out and not sleep any longer?" said the chief, with distress in his eyes.

The appearance of Ye Xi when he came back last night startled them, and Mai became tattered, as if she had been caught by countless fierce beasts. The body is full of deep and shallow wounds, many of which are fresh, not yet scabbed, oozing blood, some of which are even fatal, in the neck and heart, people who see it are shocking.

...... How many brutal battles must have been a trace! Maybe if you are not careful, you will not be able to come back.

They were terrified in their hearts, and even the joy they felt because of Ye Xi's breakthrough was reduced a lot.

Yong's face was dark, and his tone was hard and reproachful: "Why don't you run to the prairie without saying a word, do you know how dangerous the prairie is?" That day they knew that Ye Xi almost followed them when he ran to the prairie without saying a word, but it was Wu who came forward to stop them.

Where even the hunting team didn't dare to go, why did Ye Xi dare to go in alone without even bringing Jiaojiao?

They couldn't imagine how Ye Xi had slept in the past half a month, there was not even a tree on the grassland, how could he resist those insects that were extremely active at night?

In the past half a month, they can be described as anxious and restless, for fear that they will not even be able to recover Ye Xi's body.

Pu Tai said in a strange voice: "Why doesn't he know, you look at the injuries on his body, his life is almost gone, right?"

Ye Xi smiled bitterly.

The chief said earnestly: "Ye Xi, I didn't say you, you are still young, why are you in such a hurry to improve your strength, let's take our time, isn't it?"

Ye Xi only has a promise. At this time, there was a loud gurgling sound in his stomach.

Everyone was stunned.

Ye Xi clutched his stomach.

Shui Wen slapped Pu Tai's back with his hand, and rebuked with a sullen face: "As far as you talk a lot, Ye Xi is still hungry after sleeping for so long!"

Everyone suddenly forgot about the reckoning, and Yong quickly said, "I'll go roast a leg of lamb right away!" and ran to the cave.

Cangpan jumped to his feet and said, "We hunted a wild boar yesterday, let's roast a wild boar! Doesn't Ye Xi love to eat wild boar!"

The others slowed down and had to stay put.

Ye Xi looked at the backs of the two, his heart was warm, and he showed a rare shy smile to the chief.

Then the red eagle returned, holding a glass of water in her left hand and a wooden tray in her right hand containing a plate of honey-colored translucent things the size of a pigeon's egg.

When the chief saw the plate of things, he was scared of his head: "How did I forget this thing, or the red eagle has a good memory." ”

Ye Xi grabbed one curiously, and found that the tentacles were soft, like gummies, so he looked at the chief with puzzled eyes.

The chief explained: "This was specially sent by the people of the Aphid tribe two days ago, called the Aphid Coffin, saying that it was to thank you for saving their aphids last time. ”

Cone leaned over and said with a slight complaint: "Those people from the Aphid tribe said they were here to thank them, but they turned out to have a black face all the time, looking like they were not approaching, not like they were here to thank them, but like they were here to collect debts!"

"Although they don't have a good attitude, at least they don't have bad intentions, I ate one and found that it wasn't poisonous, so I put them in the cellar and kept them for you," Pu Tai said. ”

Ye Xi took a sip of water first, and found that the water in the cup was warm, and the temperature was just right, so he couldn't help but thank the red eagle. It's hard for the red eagle to be so careful.

Ye Xi picked up an aphid and put it in his mouth.

The aphid is sweet in the mouth, with a kind of herbaceous fragrance, and to Ye Xi's surprise, it actually has a starchy taste! If the sweetness is reduced a little more, it can almost replace the staple food!

Unconsciously, Ye Xi finished eating a large plate, and he licked the corners of his lips unsatisfied, planning to visit this Aphid tribe when he had time.

But first, he's going to make a pair of leather boots out.

After coming to this world, Ye Xi made a pair of straw sandals, but it was inconvenient to wear them to climb trees or something, so he didn't wear them much later. Because there are thick calluses on the soles of my feet, I usually have no problem walking or anything, and after getting used to it, I feel very comfortable without restraint.

But this trip to the prairie can make the soles of his feet suffer.

The road in the savannah is more difficult to walk than in the jungle, because of the dense green grass as a cover, it is impossible to see what is on the ground. Sometimes there are bugs on the ground with sharp shells, and one accidentally steps on them, puncturing the soles of their feet.

When I first came here, I didn't think about making leather boots, firstly, because of the lack of materials, and secondly, because of the cumbersome process. Now that he has spare materials, Ye Xi decided to toss this thing out.

Just do it, Ye Xi started to do it after eating the roast pig's trotters sent by Cangpan and the roast leg of lamb sent by Uncle Yong.
