Chapter 7: The Flame Is Extinguished
"Ziyun, do you know salt?" Xiang Nuan asked hopelessly.
"Salt, what's that?" Sure enough, Ziyun didn't know what salt was.
"It's something that tastes salty, white powder or granules, do you know where you find it?"
Without salt, no matter how delicious these things are, they are difficult to swallow, and Xiang Nuan still desperately hopes to find salt.
With salt, the food tastes even better.
"Salty? What does that smell like? Ziyun wondered, what kind of salty taste is it?
It wasn't until she tasted the salt in Xiang Nuan's mouth that she knew what kind of taste this so-called salty taste was.
Now, Ziyun is still very confused.
"......" is indescribable! It can only be understood but not spoken.
There was no salt, and Xiang Nuan ate less vegetables, barely filling his stomach, so he stopped doing it.
On the contrary, it was Ziyun and Cao, who liked stir-frying very much, and ate all the ones that Xiang Nuan cooked, and said that they would continue to stir-fry tomorrow.
Those stir-fried vegetables, the male orcs didn't move a mouthful, and they didn't want to eat them.
At night, when it was time to sleep, the problem came up again.
More than a dozen orcs and Xiang Nuan were crammed into a cave, but only the innermost part of the cave had a large stone bed, and there was no way to sleep in other places.
"Ziyun, sleep like this at night?" Xiang Nuan pointed to a row of orcs lying in a row, and asked unacceptably.
Men and women sit at the same table, not one and a half, they are randomly combined and matched, which makes Xiyan a little ...... It's hard to accept.
Men and women are mixed, and they are so thoroughly mixed.
Sure enough, no matter how much preparation was psychologically made, it was still not enough, and Xiang Nuan was hit critterily again.
"Yes, we only have this one bed, and we don't have animal skins, so we can only huddle together, although the cold season has passed, the temperature is not high, and if we don't huddle together, the females and cubs will not be able to stand sick."
When you get sick, you can only rely on luck to survive and live, and if you can't survive, you can only resign yourself to fate.
"Okay" Xiang Nuan has nothing to say, because the temperature difference between day and night here is too big, the temperature during the day is nearly 30 degrees, and it feels like it will be below zero at night.
Everyone sleeps together, and it will be better.
Xiang Nuan comforted herself in her heart, for the good of everyone, for her good.
"Xiang Nuan, you sleep here." Ziyun pointed to the empty spot next to Wolf Xuan and said, she slept on the other side of Wolf Xuan.
"Huh?" Xiang Nuan's first reaction was to refuse, Wolf Xuan's indifferent face, she really didn't want to face it.
"Wolf Xuan's body is hot, you won't be cold at night when you sleep here, hurry up." Ziyun greeted, and Xiang Nuan looked at the eyes of the others, and could only walk over slowly.
Forget it, for your own sake, be wronged, what are you afraid of?
Isn't it just a paralyzed face, not afraid, not afraid!
Xiang Nuan lay down, very restrained, far away from the wolf, curled up himself, under his body, was a piece of animal skin, soft, lying very warm.
Wolf Xuan didn't care about the warmth and moved away from him, just glanced at it casually and closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Hides were scarce, only cubs and females were padded underneath them, and the males were none, lying on cold stone beds.
They have a lot of fire on their bodies, and even if they are cold, they can only endure it.
Although Xiang Nuan has a heart far away from the wolf, but after the temperature drops, she still can't resist her instinct when she is asleep, and subconsciously approaches a warm place.
Wolf Xuan, who was also asleep, felt that something was in his arms in the middle of the night and kept digging in, and he took his hand and walked around, hugging each other.
This made Wolf Xuan couldn't help but open his eyes, and in the dark, he saw Xiang Nuan nesting in his arms, his cheek against his chest, rubbing lightly on it, as if he had found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Wolf Xuan frowned slightly, disgust flashed in his eyes, and he was about to push Xiang Nuan away, but he saw Xiang Nuan stretch out his hand, hugging his waist, tightly.
That look of dependence made Wolf Xuan's raised hand unable to stretch out anymore, and for some reason, Xiang Nuan's small action moved him.
Wolf Xuan slowly put down his hand, gently, carefully, and also put his hand on Xiang Nuan's waist, and suddenly felt soft and petite.
Gently scooping, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep with the light breath.
In the second half of the night, Xiang Nuan no longer felt cold, and when he woke up until dawn, he was woken up by the sound of rustling.
Outside, light was already shining through the hole.
"Xiang Nuan, get up and eat." Ziyun held the thin roast meat that had been cut in his hand and beckoned Xiang Nuan.
Xiang Nuan was stunned to look at the fat meat for a long time, is it appropriate to eat so greasy early in the morning?
This time, without Ziyun's reminder, Xiang Nuan was able to find the mint leaf by herself, clean her teeth first, and prepare to help Ziyun.
Ziyun and Cao were too capable, and they didn't interfere with Xiang Nuan, she quietly stuck to the cave wall for a long time before she planned to find a job by herself.
"Oops" Xiang Nuan was too distracted, didn't notice that someone came out, mixed the other party, and saw a figure flying over.
"Ah...... Tinder, the Hokage is extinguished. The next thing I heard was Shi yelling.
"The fire is out?" A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the quiet cave immediately boiled, and they all stared at the place in front of Xiang Nuan in horror.
There, the fire, which had been buried with the ashes of the firewood, was kicked apart, and the ashes were scattered everywhere, and the sparks in it were extinguished.
At this time, but the hornet's nest was stabbed, and everyone looked at it in horror, their faces turned pale, and their lips trembled, as if the sky had fallen.
is as indifferent as a wolf, and he can't help but change his face.
"What can I do? Without Tinder, what will we do in the future? "Without fire, you will freeze to death in the cold season.
They were abandoned by the tribe and still survived, it was because Ziyun stole the fire in the tribe that they could survive the cold season.
Now, what to do?
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I ran out without hearing clearly, it's all my fault." Mang said with a cry.
He's got into trouble, he's hurt everyone.
How can you survive without fire?
"What's wrong?" Xiang Nuan was a little overwhelmed, this ...... What's wrong? Why is everyone like this?
When the fire is extinguished, isn't it enough to regenerate?
"Do you know how important fire is to us? Why don't you make a sound? Otherwise, the recklessness won't hit you. Wolf Xuan rushed over, grabbed Xiang Nuan's wrist, and roared coldly.
Mang's is a bat, he is used to listening, but he neglects to look, which is also the reason why he was reckless just now.
Xiang Nuan and the cave wall were sticking together, and he subconsciously thought that it was the wall, so he didn't avoid her and put out the fire.
"Can I be blamed for this? Yes, I didn't see the road, but it's not my responsibility alone, right? Why do you blame me? ”
Xiang Nuan was quite guilty of putting out the fire! After hearing Wolf Xuan's words, he immediately became angry, and all those guiltes were burned.
