Chapter 11: Overnight
The boy's exposed skin seemed to be congested, and it was a little scary to look at.
Bai Yingying's heart tightened, "What?" Is it poisoning? ”
"No, no..." Lin Xia hurriedly waved his hand, and he hesitated: "Yingying... Don't touch my ears like that next time..."
Bai Yingying reacted immediately, a little funny, it turns out that the ears of rabbit orcs are so sensitive?
Lin Xia bent down to pick up the animal skin bag on the ground, and carried it silently, not daring to look at Bai Yingying more during the whole process.
The two continued on their way, but until the evening they did not find a particularly satisfactory cave.
It's not early.
Lin Xia found a leeward place and began to dig at the foot of a dirt slope.
During this period, Bai Yingying was not idle, and according to Lin Xia's guidance, she picked some leaves that could repel insects.
She also spontaneously skimmed a lot of branches, which could be used to cover the hole later.
Lin Xia dug a small hole, used branches and sticks to support a small shack, and used insect-proof leaves to spread the up, down, left and right, and the empty space in the middle was just enough to put the backpack in.
Then he used the excavated soil to seal most of the entrance. Then fill the branches that Bai Yingying found with the entrance camouflage.
In the wild, wild animals are frequent at night, and the shelter must be secluded enough.
"Yingying, are you hungry? After eating and going to the toilet, we can go in and rest. ”
Lin Xia divided half of the dried meat and fruits he had taken out in advance to Bai Yingying.
Bai Yingying took the food, "Hmm." We slept in piles of hides, and we were not afraid of the cold at night. ”
Such a small earth cave can only be accommodated by the body of a beast.
Luckily, they're all small rabbits, otherwise it's hard to dig a burrow where the two of them can sleep...
The jerky in your mouth is hard and woody, and the saltiness is light.
But for Bai Yingying and Lin Xia, this is the best food.
If you can soak the jerky and cook it in hot water, the taste will definitely be a little better and more hygienic.
But Bai Yingying will not light a fire at night.
At night, the beasts are active, and the light and smoke will attract the beasts, which is very dangerous.
Lin Xia glanced at the rough cave and was a little ashamed, "Yingying, when we find a fixed cave, we don't have to be so aggrieved." ”
Orcs go out hunting, and sometimes they can't come back at night, so they need to build their own temporary safe shelter, which is one of the skills that male orcs must learn.
Most of his time is spent learning to hunt, and he doesn't really practice building very often.
Hearing this, Bai Yingying moved her position, sat beside him, and said softly, "It's already good." It's hard work. ”
She really didn't expect that Lin Xia would leave the tribe with her so easily.
If it's her...
Until you have enough strength, you will not leave a safe and comfortable shelter for anyone.
Bai Yingying thought of the system she had obtained, and was very much looking forward to the reward of giving birth to cubs.
She stroked her lower abdomen.
Taking the Birth Pill is 100% pregnant.
Is there already a small life being nurtured here? It's amazing...
Lin Xia looked around with fluttering eyes, thinking in his heart: Tomorrow must be a successful hunt, so that Yingying can eat fresh meat to replenish her body.
The two people who seem to have their own thoughts are actually very vigilant.
After noticing that the air was getting wet, they all sped up their chewing movements.
At this time, it is still early spring, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
A light mist gradually rises in the forest, and the air becomes moister, indicating that night is coming.
The nocturnal beasts and bugs are coming out to feed...
As the fog fell, the temperature seemed to drop a lot, and both of them were a little cold, so they hurriedly solved the three emergencies and got into the soil hole.
Bai Yingying and Lin Xia were lying in the animal skin backpack, stepping on the soft and warm fur under their feet, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
One gray and one white, two emaciated rabbits, nestled up in each other's hides.
They are about to spend their first night in the wilderness.
Lin Xia was very worried in his heart, this was the first time he had spent the night alone, and he also needed to protect a weak female...
This made him very uneasy.
Bai Yingying is very calm, she often wanders in the last days.
Of course, this kind of dirt hole is not the first time to sleep, the difference is that it seems to feel good when it turns into a rabbit itself...
The two glanced at each other, but they did not speak in tacit agreement.
Over time.
The sound of birds and insects was mixed with the sounds of wild beasts.
Bai Yingying obviously felt that Lin Xia's body was tense, but she didn't try to comfort her, she only closed her eyes and began to sleep lightly.
Even if they are nested in a hole in the dirt at this time, their vision is very poor.
But you can also see a little bit of the outside through the hole and the gap between the leaves.
In the field, it is best to have someone keep vigil to ensure that when danger comes, it can be dealt with as soon as possible.
Since Lin Xia couldn't sleep nervously, she would keep watch for the first half of the night, and she would be good for the second half of the night.
Lin Xia felt Bai Yingying's relaxed state, and unconsciously slowly relaxed, only listening carefully to the nearby voices, staring at the situation outside the cave.
In the early hours of the morning, when Bai Yingying opened his eyes and motioned for him to sleep, he was only surprised for a moment and accepted obediently.
No matter how dull Lin Xia was, she now understood that Bai Yingying was not a little female who usually looked delicate.
But he only thought that in order for his daughter to live a good life in the future, the white father privately taught a lot of skills that females did not need to learn, and he did not suspect anything else.
Their luck was good, too.
During the night, except for a few small beasts passing by, there were no accidents.
Wait for the dawn peacefully.
The two of them drilled out of the hole one after the other and turned into human form.
Lin Xia's face was obviously happy, "Yingying, after eating in a while, you make up for sleep in the cave, and I'll go out hunting." ”
"Okay." Bai Yingying covered her mouth and yawned, she was really sleepy, so she didn't refuse.
But he still advised: "Pay attention to safety, run if you can't fight, don't be reckless." ”
Lin Xia raised his hand and touched the top of Bai Yingying's hair, "Don't worry." You don't want to come out easily, and it's not safe during the day. ”
In the morning they did not eat jerky, but each ate a few fruits to satisfy their hunger.
Until new prey is caught, meat is precious.
Lin Xia watched Bai Yingying burrow into the soil cave before leaving.
He was full of energy and vowed to catch a prey.
It's a pity that the reality is skinny.
It was really difficult for him, a novice with low talent, to hunt alone.
Until noon, they found nothing, but were hungry.
He had to venture up a tree and steal two eggs.
When Lin Xia arrived home, Bai Yingying had already lit a bonfire not far from the cave.
She dug a large pit, cleaned all the flammable materials around it, and lit the dry fluffy grass by striking stones to make fire.
Bai Yingying has a dagger, which is naturally much easier than drilling wood for fire.
