Ten minutes passed, and the scene had turned into Chao Ci sitting down comfortably against a stone, holding in his hand the food given to him by the boy - about one-third of the meat cut off with a bone knife.

Standing next to him was a brat with a stinky face.

He had just made up his mind to ignore this inexplicable person, and even decided to drive him away if he acted rogue again, but he didn't know why in the end he gave the food to him by accident.

He looked at the other person's eyes that seemed to be filled with bright stars, as if Roufenghe suddenly had an idea in his heart for no reason, that rejecting the other person might be a sin.

This was an abnormal emotion, but the boy didn't notice it at this time.

He took out the food he finally hunted and cut half of it with a bone knife. He was about to give it to the other party. But when he was about to hand it to the other party, he took it back and carefully cut off about a third of it.

The remaining meat was handed to Chao Ci.

Chao Ci: "..."

It can be seen that even when he is bewitched, he still has his own position, and every point he can save is worth it.

Chao Ci took the food and sighed funnyly: "What a stingy kid."

This time, Nie was not happy.

"Give it back to me." He stared at Chao Ci and said.

Although the boy is not very old, his eyes have the look of a superior predator, full of warning, threat and aggression.

"Don't take it so seriously, I'll just tell you something." Chao Ci pinched the child's face, still looking like he was teasing.

The boy's complexion became even worse.

Chao Ci felt that if he said one more thing, the child might get up and beat him.

When he was done, he sat down on the ground and moved some dead wood and hay around.

It's not that there are no plants in the wilderness, it's just that most of them are ugly and cannot be used, and some are even extremely aggressive. However, it is still possible to find some dead branches as flammable materials at this time.

Then he sat down cross-legged and tried to live.

…

…

Almost an hour passed.

There wasn't even a hint of smoke coming out of the pile of licorice.

Instead, the rough wood pricked Chao Ci's white hands with many wounds.

Chao Ci thought for a while, but gave up, and then looked longingly at the young man gnawing raw meat aside.

Nie: "..."

After being stared at for a long time, Nie resignedly walked over and helped Chao Ci light the fire.

It's almost night time, and lighting a fire now can drive away most beasts.

Nie thought this way, and told himself that the fire he was lighting now was not to help this inexplicable person, but to help the night that was coming soon.

At the same time, although he didn't like to talk, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This man's fire-making skills are really in shambles. If he follows this fool's method, he won't be able to light a fire tomorrow morning.

After Nie got the branch, he fiddled with it a few times before the smoke started to rise.

"You are so amazing." Chao Ci looked at him with bright eyes.

Nie: "..."

He didn't speak, but he felt a strange joy in his heart.

"Lend me your knife." Before Nie could react, Chao Ci took away the bone knife from his waist.

By the time the young man reacted, the knife was already in Chao Ci's hand and he was cutting the meat.

The young man who discovered this started to feel cold all over.

The young man has realized that his indulgence in Chao Ci is not natural. Weapons are the most important thing besides food for a remnant like him who lives alone in the wild. It is almost equal to his life. If others want to take his weapons,

The young man must have fought him tooth and nail, but he felt accustomed to this person taking away his bone knife.

He had heard people say that far away from here there was a creature with the head of a human and a bird, which was good at confusing people's hearts... Maybe this strange man who suddenly appeared also had this ability like that kind of bird.

He was wary, but maybe this man was too powerful and he couldn't bear to kill him.

In desperation, Nie could only turn his head and ignore him.

Looking at the fire at his hand, Nie had no intention of leaving for the time being. He planned to part ways with this man after spending one night here.

The boy casually took a few more bites of meat. The usable parts of the black stone beast did not smell of blood, or even blood. This also brought great convenience to the survivors to store food. Otherwise, one black stone beast would be enough to last three days.

They must eat the beast within a year, otherwise the smell of blood will attract attacks from other strange beasts.

He glanced at the man sitting next to him grilling meat again, feeling somewhat regretful that he had given the meat to him.

Originally enough food for three days, now he could only eat for two days. He had to put hunting on the agenda again.

However, Nie had no intention of getting back what he had given away, so he simply closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind.

After closing his eyes for a while, Nie suddenly smelled a strong smell of barbecue on the tip of his nose. When Nie opened his eyes, he saw the man's gorgeous face, his curved eyes and the corners of his mouth.

Even if he was so close, Nie couldn't see a single flaw on this man's face. He was whiter and softer than anything Nie had ever seen.

"Can I share a bunch with you?"

Nie looked at the meat in front of him and felt a little complicated.

What a good thing, this was obviously given by him.

Nie silently rolled his eyes, but...it's not bad.

He had no reason to refuse the food that was put to his mouth. He sat up, took the meat from Chao Ci, and finished it in a few seconds, without fear of burning it.

It has to be said that the meat of the black stone beast is much more delicious when grilled than raw. The survivors are used to eating food as soon as they get it, because no one knows whether the food will be in their hands next second.

Nie spent the whole night leaning on a stone. He didn't care about the place or conditions where he slept, and his sleep was very shallow. He would wake up immediately as soon as something came close. But Chao Ci kept grinding and chirping wherever the firelight could shine.

I found some hay in the area and threw it on the ground to use as a simple pillow.

Nie became more and more certain that this man should be a noble, and his status was not low. If ordinary survivors were like him, their bones would be eaten by someone.

Nie cherishes the time he spends sleeping, because it determines whether he will be energetic the next day.

But Chao Ci tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to tug on the young man's sleeve.

The sudden touch made Nie instantly alert. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chao Ci. His gaze was terrifying for a moment.

But Chao Ci didn't seem to feel it at all, and was quite happy to see him open his eyes.

"You didn't sleep either, that's great!"

When he discovered that it was Chao Ci, Nie's vigilance dropped for the most part, but his face still looked ugly.

He had fallen asleep a long time ago, but was only awakened by Chao Ci.

"It's so boring, kid, can you come and talk with me?"

"..."

"My name is Chao Ci, what's yours?"

"..."

"Why are not you talking?"

"..." Nie wanted to turn over and block his ears, but he didn't feel comfortable handing his back to Chao Ci. He held it in for a long time and said one word, "You are too noisy."

If possible, he really wanted to take Chao Ci and feed him to the strange beasts right now.

"Just tell me, it's just a name, I told you everything." The man in front of him seemed not to notice Nie's rejection at all, and said in a long tone.

"...Nie." Nie still said his name.

Indeed, the name was not important, it was just a code name. He hoped that this beautiful but noisy young man would shut up immediately after he said his name.

Facts have proved that this kind of hateful person will only push for an advantage: "It's just one word, it's so cool, why is it called this name?"

Nie really couldn't help it anymore. He put the bone knife against Chao Ci's slender and white neck and said coldly: "Shut up!"

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Chao Ci puffed up his face and lay down to sleep again.

It was finally quiet.

Nie breathed a sigh of relief and continued to close his eyes.

…………

However, the next day, this strange and hateful man still refused to leave.

No matter which direction Nie went, this man always followed him.

An almost terrifying thought arose in Nie's heart: Doesn't this man want to support him?

This sounds ridiculous, because this man looks to be more than a head taller than Nie and looks to be at least twenty years old, but he is seeking shelter from a twelve-year-old boy.

But Nie didn't think it was strange, because this man was squeamish and grumpy, and seemed to have no ability to survive.
