19. Teammate plus one
"I can't remember where to put the clay pot. I'll look for it tonight. What if I give it to you tomorrow?" The boy refused to take the two of them to get the clay pot.
"Tell me honestly, what secrets did you hide?" Xia Yi grabbed the boy's arm.
Seeing that Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan didn't want to let him go, the boy grabbed his hair irritably.
He could not think of any other way, so he could only bring Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan to a tree.
He picked up the dead branches under the tree, revealing a pit of earth.
The boy suddenly looked behind Xia Yi in surprise: "What is behind you?"
After saying that, he flipped the clay pot and poured out the contents.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief when he buried the thing with soil. He looked at Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan, but found that the two of them were not diverted by what he had just said, and looked at him straight.
"this……"
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yi grabbed his shoulder. Qiu Ruoyan came to the pit. She took out the soil and took out something green.
It was a cooked wild vegetable.
"You found wild vegetables?" Xia Yi was overjoyed.
Although there are many plants in the woods, not all plants can be eaten. Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan had tried eating grass that pheasants pecked at, and the grass was hard to swallow.
The boy hammered his head, and he felt that he was so stupid that he was actually found again.
"Don't worry, we won't rob you, we can exchange it for you with meat," said Xia Yi.
The boy had no choice but to believe the two of them.
"I don't want wolf meat." said the boy. "It's the third day of wolf meat. At most, I'll have another meal tonight and it will be broken tomorrow."
"We still have chickens and fish, all of them are alive." Xia Yi replied.
"Can you catch the chicken?" The boy looked at Xia Yi with a hellish expression.
He also thought about catching pheasants, but he tried many times, but failed. The pheasants here were trained very quickly by the wolves.
"You don't have to worry about this, whether to change it or not." Xia Yi asked.
"Switch." The boy climbed up the tree and took a handful of wild vegetables from the tree.
These wild vegetables can probably be eaten by Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan, but of course this meal will definitely not be filled with food.
"What do you want to change?" Xia Yi asked.
"A live chicken." The boy replied.
The price was high, and Xia Yi asked again: "Where is the wolf cub, what do you want to exchange for your wolf cub?"
"Three fish and one pheasant," the boy replied.
"Then the wolf cub you promised to give us is used to exchange for this handful of wild vegetables." Xia Yi took the wild vegetables from the boy's hand.
The boy was a little stunned, and then he realized that he had just given a wolf a price equal to a handful of wild vegetables.
This brain-using thing gave him a headache.
"Do you want a sleeping bag and a clay pot?" Xia Yi asked the boy again.
"I want it." The boy said immediately.
Without a clay pot, he could not cook wild vegetables, and without a sleeping bag, he would feel cold at night.
"Then bring two more wild vegetables." Xia Yi said the conditions.
Without saying a word, the boy took two more handfuls of wild vegetables from the tree.
"...Aren't you afraid of breaking up if you pick so many?" Xia Yi gave the sleeping bag and clay pot to the boy. The price he set was a bit cheap, because this was something to be given to the boy.
"These are the roads you often walk on," the boy said.
What he meant was that he picked so much was to prevent Xia Yi and others from discovering wild vegetables.
Xia Yi began to think about whether he was too polite to him. This child didn't look like a good person.
He remembered the pheasant left by the boy again. He didn't take the pheasant when stealing things, at least it proved that the boy was not bad either.
Forget it, it's something that is not available anyway.
After giving all the wild vegetables to Qiu Ruoyan, Xia Yi looked at the sky and said, "Let's go."
The two walked more than ten meters and suddenly heard the boy's voice: "Wait."
The boy caught up with Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan: "Can I be with you?"
"No." Xia Yi refused without hesitation. It was already the limit for him to support two people, and there was no way to add another one.
"It's just that the camp is together, I don't have to worry about what I eat," the boy said.
"Why?" Xia Yi asked. Boys can live alone, and there is no need to follow them.
"The waves are rising, and at night it is about to flood the rock beach I am staying at," the boy said.
His camp was about to disappear, and another camp had to be found, but he needed to watch at night except for the camp under the cliff, and he could not guard it for twenty-four hours alone.
"What do you think?" Xia Yi looked at Qiu Ruoyan.
Qiu Ruoyan glanced at the boy's thin body: "I have no objection."
Xia Yi pondered, the only hidden danger of taking the boy was that the boy would run away with supplies.
When the supplies are sufficient, the boy cannot run away. When the supplies are short, just drive him out.
Anyway, I just share the camp. I have more manpower and no food is needed.
"I can share some of the wild vegetables I pick every day," the boy said again.
"Yes." Xia Yi agreed.
The boy was very surprised. He went back to get the clay pot and sleeping bag, and put the clay pot to Qiu Ruoyan with wild vegetables.
"The remaining wolf cubs will come and get them tomorrow," the boy explained.
Xia Yi had no objection, and the three of them quickly arrived at the camp.
At this time, the sun had already set halfway.
When the three of them caught fire, they put a pot of pots to boil water, and it became completely dark.
The boy looked around curiously: "I didn't expect that you were so brave and camped in the woods. No wonder I couldn't find you."
"Why, do you want to steal it again?" Xia Yi glanced at the boy.
"Of course not. I'm going to give you some wild vegetables. I'm a principled person." The boy said, patting his chest.
Xia Yi did not respond.
The boy stood up again and came to Qiu Ruoyan to watch her cut the wolf meat.
Bent down, the boy observed the wolf corpse and smelled it.
"It's a bit bad after a long baking. It's best not to eat it tomorrow," he said.
Qiu Ruoyan looked at Xia Yi, and Xia Yi waved: "Don't eat it today."
"A wise choice to survive in the wilderness, being sick is more likely to die than being hungry," the boy said.
Xia Yi asked Qiu Ruoyan to cook a pot of wild vegetables and roast two more fish.
Xia Yi couldn't find anything to eat for sea fish, and the five fish were no longer good. On the contrary, the two chickens were well raised. Although the two chickens were surrounded in a small place, they were not in a mood, eating, sleeping, and enjoying themselves.
The boy also started his own pottery jar, and he brought a handful of wild vegetables to eat.
His eyes kept looking at Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan's grilled fish.
After dinner, Qiu Ruoyan went into the tent to sleep.
"Then I'm going in too?" The boy looked at Xia Yi with his sleeping bag.
Xia Yi was about to let go, but when he saw the boy's dirty body, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Pulling the boy over and smelled it, Xia Yi frowned and replied: "No."
The space in the tent is small, so if the boy enters, it will smell bad.
The boy was a little disappointed, but this was also within his expectations.
"I'll let you in after taking a shower tomorrow." Xia Yi said again.
