Chapter 37: Self-reliance
Wen Xun stepped on the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize him, carrying a few bags of banana leaves tied with tree bark, and gradually approached.
Su Jingtang took his hand out of his sleeve, and stared at him with his big eyes.
"Why, it can't be hungry and faint, right?" Wen Xun smiled and bent over to be amused.
The face in front of her was a few inches away from Su Jingtang, she looked straight at him, a relaxed smile in her eyes, and after a breath, she awkwardly looked away, and said "hmm" vaguely.
The fire was about to be extinguished because there was no firewood for a long time, Wen Xun hurriedly stuffed some dry branches into it, sat cross-legged in front of the fire, opened the banana leaves, and showed off with a smile: "Your request is not difficult for me at all." โ
Su Jingtang leaned over curiously, and saw the red slices of meat lying on the banana leaves, neatly arranged, looking exceptionally fresh, she was surprised: "You really went to catch the pig?" โ
"How can the eldest brother refuse the boss's request?" Wen Xun fiddled with the fire, smiling at the corners of his mouth, as if he was enjoying it.
He threaded the bark rope through the plantain leaves, hung them on the wooden frame, and the fire burned the plantain leaves, and the sweet fragrance of the grass filled the cave.
Su Jingtang sat next to him with her knees hugged, her hands covering her knees, the back of her hand was slightly red from the heat, she withdrew her hand, moved back, and accidentally bumped into Wen Xun.
She looked at him sideways, and he stood still, concentrating on the barbecue, and although the meat was roasted and he was in a hurry, he was still not distracted by the collision.
On the contrary, it was she who warmed her heart a little because of this collision - he was concentrating on barbecue for her.
The smell of paste penetrated into Su Jingtang's nose, she shrugged her nose and glanced at the second package of paste meat that was thrown aside by Wen Xun.
Wen Xun wrinkled his face and fought with the flesh, and pulled away several branches to control the heat.
His brows loosened, his smile was full of joy, and he picked up the banana leaf and handed it to Su Jingtang: "Nothing can stump me, hurry up and eat, my lord of the Infinite Palace of Infinite Mana." โ
Wen Xun is good, but he has a mouth.
Su Jingtang glanced at him: "Hot." โ
Wen Xun put the banana leaves in front of her: "Put them here for you, and eat them when it's cold." โ
Su Jingtang snorted lightly: "Dirty." โ
Wen Xun hid a knife in his smile: "Could it be that you want me to blow you cold and feed it to your mouth?" โ
Su Jingtang was serious: "It's not impossible. โ
"Su Jingtang, don't be hypocritical to me, if you don't eat it, I'll stuff it into your stomach!" Wen Xun crushed a thick branch with his bare hands.
She glanced at him faintly and looked at the entrance of the cave: "Your mana recovery is faster than mine, it's normal that you don't want to continue to be my little brother, after all, no one wants to be a little brother for the weak......"
Wen Xun sneered, picked up a piece of meat and handed it to her mouth: "Give it to me!" โ
"It's rude." She bit the dried meat, ate it in three or two, and said vaguely, "It's not as delicious as the dried meat of Wandemon Village, it's tasteless." โ
Wen Xunpi smiled and didn't smile: "Really? The hand I just fed you meat touched the soot and didn't wipe it. โ
The mouthful of meat in his mouth was stuck in his throat and almost couldn't get down, and Su Jingtang was choked so much that his heart, liver and lungs hurt.
She reached out and touched it in front of the fire, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Wen Xun's mouth, fiercely: "Come, the boss feeds you meat!" โ
He fell to the ground, grabbed her hand, and smiled heartily: "You can't beat me, give up, palace master with superior mana." โ
She pressed on him, her hair slipped, she felt his chest agitated when he laughed, her face was slightly hot, she pretended to sit back calmly, and stuffed the meat slices into her mouth one by one: "I don't remember the villain, let you go." โ
The slowly accelerating heartbeat couldn't be lowered for a long time, Su Jingtang secretly thought that the first person he saw after losing his memory was him, and it was inevitable that he would become dependent on him as they got along day by day, but in the long run, it would not bring her good results, because ......
She was deceived by that dog man who heard that person, and she didn't allow herself to repeat the mistakes of the past!

At the moment of Shen, the mountains and forests that have not seen the sun for a long time ushered in the first ray of sunshine in these days.
Wen Xun had just finished cleaning up the cave and wanted to call Su Jingtang to bask in the sun.
He turned his head and saw her curled up to the side, sleeping peacefully, her long eyelashes like small brushes, thick and curled, perhaps restless in her sleep, and her eyelashes occasionally fluttered.
When Wen came back to his senses, it was dark outside the cave, and he was shocked to find that he had stared at Su Jingtang for a long time.
There was a feeling of boredom in his heart, he was annoyed that he couldn't remember his previous temperament, otherwise he would know if he had something wrong with his brain.
*
In the morning, Su Jingtang was woken up by hunger, and I don't know if it was because of the wrong sleeping position, and his chest began to hurt again.
Wen Xun, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, was still asleep with his arms in his arms, and Su Jingtang endured the pain and got up, leaning against the wall, planning to go out to find food.
She is a stunning palace master with thousands of people, how can she always rely on others, she must be strong, and do her own thing......
Wen Xun slowly opened his eyes, and met Su Jingtang's stubborn eyes, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "What are you doing?" โ
Su Jingtang was silent and looked out of the cave with resentment.
"Hungry?" He had just woken up, and his voice had a tone that he didn't have on weekdays, and he listened to it gently and considerately.
"You light the fire here, I'll go find something to eat." Wen Xun got up and stretched, yawning and walking out.
Ignition...... It's self-reliant.
Su Jingtang sat in front of the black firewood, looking at the half-burned dead branches, not knowing what to do.
She followed Wen Xun's example, put her index finger and middle finger together, and pointed at the firewood: "Fire come!" โ
After many failures, Su Jingtang became more and more frustrated, and finally on the thirty-ninth time, a bean-sized flame ignited on his fingertips.
Her eyes lit up: "My mana has recovered one ten-thousandth!" โ
After a cup of tea, Su Jingtang lay in front of the firewood pile and worked hard, his hair was covered with dust, and he puffed out his cheeks and coughed and blew on the fire, and when he coughed, his heart ached.
"What are you doing?" Wen Xun asked strangely overhead.
She looked up, her eyes were smoky, her long hair was stained with soot, her face was black and red, and her eyes were full of tears.
"PoofโSu Jingtang, did you wash your face in the firewood?" Wen Xun laughed heartily, she pursed her lips and looked resentful.
"I look at your fire, huh...... Is there some malnutrition? Wen Xun pointed to a small flame on the ground and quipped.
"I'm not cold." Su Jingtang snorted lightly, moved back, wiped his face with his sleeve, and his face became even darker.
Wen Xun smiled heartily, sat next to her, and handed over the fruit: "I didn't find the meat either, so this fire can't be lit." Well, eat some fruit, don't be a picky eater. โ
Su Jingtang took the fruit, he didn't really want to eat it, how could the fruit be as delicious as meat.
He raised his hand, and she looked at his finger curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
He touched his index finger lightly on her forehead, and she suddenly felt a fresh breeze blowing from her head to her feet, and when she looked down, her clothes and hands were clean again.
Her eyes fell on his smiling face, and she wanted to thank him, but after thinking for a long time, she said "hmm" and said, "Teach me." โ
"Realize for yourself."
"My chest hurts."
"Don't pretend, I'm a hard-hearted."
"Hmph." Su Jingtang lowered her head and nibbled on the fruit, and the injuries on her body began to hurt again, and she hummed while gnawing.
Wen Xun sat on the ground beside him, biting one fruit at a time, and biting loudly.
After she hesitated, she moved her body, propped her hands in front of her, and leaned forward towards Wen Xun, her eyes full of innocence and a little coquettish: "Wen Xun, can you use demon power to help me cure it?" โ
Wen Xun leaned his back against the wall, tossing the fruit in his hand, his gaze slowly fell on her face, and he raised his eyebrows.
