Ye Xi lit the flint fireball and put it on the ground, and said: "I'll leave you some spices, and leave two small flints, you follow me to learn how to fry snails, and you can quietly come here to open a small stove in the future." ”

The cave is covered with plantain leaves, and the light is dim in the rock.

But the cub's eyes sparkled, and he came out as if he was obedient and didn't want money: "You are really a good person! I thought you were very pleasing to the eye when I saw you in the bird's nest, so I always talked to you." Look at you, it's not ugly after watching it for a long time, it's strong, it's powerful, it's powerful!"

"It's a good thing that the big fierce bird catches me now, although it hurts a little when I am pecked by it, but if I want to eat something delicious, how can I not suffer a little pain......

Ye Xi put snails in the stone pot while listening to his messy chatter.

The aroma of the fried snails was muffled by the banana leaves at the entrance of the cave, but there was still a faint scent of the fragrance that crept out through the cracks and wafted under the noses of the frogs lying on the trunks of the trees.

"Hmm, it smells so good......"

The carrot-haired frogman swallowed.

"Hmm. ”

The orange-haired frogman raised his head, feeling bored even by the alien plants in his mouth, and his gaze drifted to the rock body where Ye Xi and the cub were.

The two glanced at each other, then lowered their heads together, and said lazily in unison,

"Forget it. ”

"Forget it. ”

The fat bullfrogs of the two continued to collide with each other.

......

In the fragrant rock body, Ye Xi made a total of three pots of stir-fried screws, and he didn't actually eat it well, so he happily shared two pots with the cub.

The rest of the pot was not allowed to eat, so he pulled a banana leaf down, wrapped the stone pot, and carried the stone pot full of fried snails into the depths of the forest.

Ye Xi was curious: "Where are you going?"

Cub: "I'm going to send this pot of delicious food to Eminem." ”

Ye Xi: "Do you Eminem live here?" ”

The cub nodded, and said as she walked, "She is a tree frog, and she lives on the largest tree, which is the big tree in front, do you see?"

Ye Xi looked up, the largest tree was leafy and snow-capped, very conspicuous, but the trunk seemed to be ...... There's no frogman lying on his stomach, huh?

The cub came to the bottom of the tree with the stone pot in his arms, raised his head and lowered his voice and shouted, "Eminem, Eminem, are you sleeping?"

Two seconds passed.

The trunk and branches shook violently, and the snow fell in a row, scattering the cubs and Ye Xi's heads.

A giant tree frog with a body length of six meters and matcha-colored skin slowly crawled down the trunk of the tree. She lay on the bottom trunk of a tree like a boneless, her two bright red claws clinging to the trunk beneath her, and she looked down at the cub with round red eyes.

The terrible weight made the trunk creak, and the snow fell sparsely again.

The cub smiled and raised the stone pot in his hand: "Eminem, I'll bring you something delicious!"

Ye Xi was stunned.

Wait, Eminem is the big tree frog in front of you?!

The cub jumped on the trunk of the tree, squatted next to the head of the big tree frog, lifted the banana leaf wrapped in the stone pot, broke a thin branch, used the thin branch to dig out the snail meat from the snail shell, and then handed it to the big tree frog's mouth: "Eminem, open your mouth." ”

The big matcha-colored tree frog opens its mouth lazily with its eyes open.

The cub fed the shiny snail meat into it.

The big tree frog lazily closed its mouth again.

"Open your mouth again. ”

The cub continued to dig the snail meat, at first his movements were a little clumsy because he was not skilled, and then he dug faster and faster, and it didn't take long for all the snail meat in a stone pot to be removed and fed.

During this time, the chubby tree frog was like a third-degree cripple paralyzed in bed, but it only opened its mouth.

After feeding the cubs, he touched the fat back of the big tree frog distressedly, and said worriedly: "Eminem, you have lost weight again, you need to eat more." ”

Ye Xi: "......"

The size of this big tree frog can't be said to be thin.

Among the tree frogs of her kind, she is the fattest and strongest! If she gets fat, this tree will not be able to hold on.

Also, didn't you dislike these frogmen who were too lazy to starve to death in winter? You have a lot of contempt in your words? Why did it take your turn to change your face completely? The filter should be so heavy!

The cub lowered his head, rubbed his head against the big tree frog, and said a little aggrieved: "Eminem, I could have brought you your favorite mealworms today, but unfortunately I was caught by a big fierce bird halfway, and all the mealworms I caught were gone." ”

"Quack!"

The big tree frog croaked.

Ye Xi's eyes flickered for a moment.

This kind of cold winter weather mealworms are not easy to catch, the place where the gulls caught the cubs is quite far from here, presumably the cubs in order to collect mealworms for his Eminem, walked a lot of roads, spent a lot of time to collect them, and the result was lost.

The cub continued to rub the big tree frog's chubby head: "I'll catch Eminem tomorrow!"

"Quack!"

The big tree frog replied with a dull look in his eyes.

The cub looked up at the top of the tree, where there were some frozen corpses of giant insects hanging on top, and he counted them on his fingers for a long time before he was sure that there was enough food, and he was relieved.

"Then I'm leaving, Eminem. ”

The cub jumped down from the tree and said goodbye to the big tree frog.

The two walked in the direction of the frozen lake through the snow.

And the fat tree frog, covered in matcha color and with eyes like rubies, just kept lying on the trunk at the bottom, and watched them leave.

On the way back.

The cub said with some pride: "My Eminem has so many children, but the food I brought her is the most delicious!"

Ye Xi: "Did your father Eminem give birth to a lot?"

The cub was an illiterate frog and couldn't count too many numbers, so he violently chopped down a section of the tree trunk from the side, shook off the snow on it, and handed it to him and said, "My Eminem's child probably has as many leaves as above, and my father's has more, and I can't count them, and I don't know." ”

Ye Xi took the branch.

There are at least 500 leaves on this large branch.

Ye Xi thought for a while: "Your father is not only your partner?"

Cubs: "I know that your tribesmen are engaged in companion sets, but we frog people are not, everyone is free, it's just that the annual mating season and eye-catching frogs mate, my father Eminem each has a lot of cubs, but I am the most favored!"

He cocked his chin a little proudly.

Ye Xi hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "...... Are your father and Eminem your own?"

The cub rolled his eyes: "I'm not biological, my name is Afu Eminem?"

Ye Xi was speechless.

However, he really couldn't understand why two giant frogs could give birth to a frogman after mating, and a stone frog and a tree frog would not have reproductive isolation.

He didn't realize it, and he unconsciously said the doubts in his heart.

As he walked, the cub replied nonchalantly, "Because there are frogmen among my fathers." As for what you said about why stone frogs and tree frogs can give birth to cubs, and reproductive isolation or something, I probably know what you want to ask, it's because we have a holy fruit, and after eating it, we don't have this kind of trouble, not only stone frogs and tree frogs can give birth to offspring, frogs and rain frogs can also give birth, and the offspring can be as good as mine!"

Ye Xi paused, and heard his heart beating up,

"You say it again?"
