So the two of them sat together and ate barbecue as before.
"You didn't eat in the morning?" Jiang Yan was a little surprised. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. "Why don't you eat something?"
"..." Hong rolled her eyes at him silently.
All the traps she checked in the morning were empty of prey, and all the traps she had checked since noon had been turned over by Jiang Yan. How could she eat?
But now she is busy filling her stomach, so Hong has no intention of settling a score with Jiang Yan, that is for the time being.
It seemed like she was really hungry.
Jiang Yan took out his cell phone and took a selfie of himself and Hong, and captured the action of Hong tearing off a mouthful of meat.
"Ligang Shenmo? (What are you doing?)" Hong was busy chewing, so he couldn't hear exactly what she was saying, but Jiang Yan could make a rough guess.
"I just wanted to take a picture of the barbecue. Now that I've started eating, I'll take a picture of the barbecue."
Then, Jiang Yan looked at the photo and sighed: It's so good, you don't even need to use beauty to make it look so good.
The two of them settled down for lunch (probably), and then started chatting.
Jiang Yan was fully shocked that Hong actually had a house - shouldn't a girl with this kind of personality be living in a cave all the time? Jiang Yan always thought this was a female Tarzan... although Hong has wolf ears
and wolf tail.
"Then...is it cold in your house?"
"It's just because it's getting a little cold in the cave since autumn that I moved to another place... What's wrong?" Hong looked a little confused.
Jiang Yan scratched his head: "Forget it, it's okay... Where is your home? I brought some things for you."
…
"Look, these are vitamins. Remember to take them once a day in this dosage and order; take medicine when you are sick, this one treats infection and this one treats stomachache...; don't eat too many snacks every day; the sleeping bag is made of down, which should be enough to keep you warm.
But you still have to remember to add a blanket when it's cold; as for this toy... the bag is a bit small, so I can only buy this model. Remember not to be too anxious about it, or it will shed hair; and as for the story book... do you know how to read it?
, If you don’t know me, let me tell you again..."
It was already evening, and Jiang Yan and Hong lit a fire in the cabin. Jiang Yan took out the items in the bag one by one, and Hong was stunned for a moment.
"Why did you buy so many things...are they all for me?" Hong picked up these things and looked at them. She felt a little dazzled by the many vitamin bottles.
Finally her eyes fell on the stuffed toy wolf.
At this time, Jiang Yan was helping Hong clean up her bed in the wooden house - it was said to be a bed, but in fact it was just a place for sleeping on a table made of some leather.
"You're talking nonsense, why should I carry it if it's not for you?"
Jiang Yan looked at the bed with some sadness. Hong should have something better to sleep on at his age...
It's warm... but it might be a little hard. Next time, bring her a mattress, no... Can you bring a mattress here? The moving company may not do this kind of work...
"Why?" Hong's voice sounded softer than before.
"Because I'm worried about you." Jiang Yan looked back at Hong and found that she was already playing with the toy.
Really like a child...wait.
Maybe because of her mature character, Jiang Yan misjudged her age... She might not be a girl yet, so she should still be called a girl.
"Worried about me?" Hong was confused, "But why..."
"There is no reason." Jiang Yan interrupted her question.
Only now did he realize that he had no idea about Hong's life experience... What had she experienced? Why was she living alone in the forest like this? He didn't know any of this.
But now he wasn't going to ask, there was no reason why.
"There's no reason... Hong, you know it's enough that I worry about you, even if you don't understand... but I will just worry about you, do you understand?"
Jiang Yan touched the red hair and looked at her beautiful eyes... I wonder if it was because of the bonfire that the amber-like yellow inside seemed more vivid.
What would have happened if she hadn't taken me back to the cave? Jiang Yan has thought about this many times.
The answer is: the consequences are disastrous.
You may be killed by wolves, you may starve to death because there is nothing to eat, or you may get lost in the forest...
And Hong took him back to the cave, provided him with food, and taught him some other things. Even if he couldn't catch the prey, Hong didn't drive him away...
Why is that red?
He was almost certain that he and Hong were friends.
She is his first friend who came to this world.
And this friend's living situation has to make people worry. He has a very simple diet, no medical protection, no one to take care of him, and he still lives on a stomach.
He had to do something...just like Hong did something for him back then.
"We are friends, right?" Jiang Yan didn't know what Hong was thinking at this time...but he didn't care.
"so……"
"Yeah." Hong hugged him...as if she didn't know how to hug him. Her hands were about to lock Jiang Yan's neck, but she didn't realize the problem.
And the body shape is indeed that of a child.
"It's good that you understand." Jiang Yan also hugged Hong, then patted her back and told her to let go.
The stuffed toy wolf on the red hand is released.
"Tell me a story."
Then the two people sat down by the campfire as before - this time they sat on the edge of the bed, and Hong sat in Jiang Yan's arms.
Jiang Yan opened a picture book.
"A long time ago, in a vast and fertile land..."
If the wolf doesn't rest, the wolf hunter can't rest...
Wolf God, go to sleep.
I pray to you——
Even if it's just now.
…
Early the next morning, Hong saw Jiang Yan off again.
"Is this direction a village? By the way, if there is a bus going into the city, why did you tell me the way to walk there in the first place?"
"Jiang Yan was asking about the way into the city..." Hong shook her tail innocently.
Emma, you are so right, I can't even refute it.
"Have you clearly remembered the address and phone number I gave you?" Jiang Shao was still a little worried.
"Yeah." Hong nodded.
She planned to carve the note left by Jiang Yan on the wooden wall.
"Then remember to come to me if you have anything to do. If you have nothing to do, you can call me or write me a letter... Can you write?"
"No problem." Hong nodded. "I will ask the lady at the post office to write the letter for me."
...Jiang Yan sighed.
"Can you speak English?"
"No problem."
That's OK. Jiang Yan touched Hong's wolf ears again, and Hong wagged his tail in response.
"I'll come see you next time. Remember to take vitamins, take medicine when you are sick, and play with toys..."
"Okay, I remember." Hong said with a bit of disgust. "Go ahead."
Jiang Yan sighed, shrugged, turned around and left.
Hong stood in the distance, watching Jiang Yan slowly disappear from sight.
