Chapter 13
Ever since he found the sweet potato, Xu Fei never let the big man go hungry again.A sweet potato is fried, steamed and boiled repeatedly. Nagu's favorite is roasted sweet potatoes, which are fragrant.In the past few days, a lot of dried meat has been hung in the cave, all of which were hunted by Nagu in the past few days, and Xu Fei is responsible for collecting sweet potatoes with him.
The basket of red fruits that resembled apples, Xu Fei wiped off the moisture on the skin with the animal skin, and directly arranged them on the ground.He remembered that apples could be stored for a long time at low temperature, and this cave was probably no different from a basement in winter, so it probably wouldn't go bad if it was kept like this, and there was nothing to do if it did.
The sun was just right this morning, and Nagu insisted on going out for a run again. Xu Fei was picking up his sweet potatoes in the cave, and looked at the piles of sweet potatoes that filled half the size of the cave. Satisfied!
At noon when Nagu was not there, Xu Fei was not in the mood to cook, so he threw a few larger sweet potatoes into the fire and simmered.After it was cooked, he picked one and ate it, and left the rest for the big fool to eat when he came back. I don't know if he took the jerky out.
In the afternoon, the temperature dropped suddenly, before Xu Fei could add clothes in a hurry, it was snowing heavily outside.Xu Fei's first reaction when he looked at the snowflakes was that the snowflakes here were also white, and the second thought was that Nagu was still running outside with bare feet.
People say that snow is not cold enough to turn snow cold, but it is strange here. From the first snowflakes falling, the temperature has dropped further and lower, which can almost be called rapid drop.Within an hour, Xu Fei felt the winter, but he took off his vest because he thought it was too hot in the morning.
Equipped with winter clothes, the big kang was also on fire.The sky outside is getting darker and darker as the snow falls.At this time, it should be only after three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was so dark that Xu Fei could only see three meters away.
Xu Fei didn't remember how many times he moved from the warm fire to the entrance of the cave to blow the cold wind. Why didn't the big man come back?For the first time, he experienced what it was like to be restless, and it was just like the literal meaning, he was restless.
The big man was only wearing an animal skin skirt, not even a pair of shoes.If he wants to wear it, he just shakes his head, always saying that he doesn't need it now, and when the weather gets colder, he just can't bear to wear it.Xu Fei thinks that this winter will be fine, so he will make him a pair of seventeen or eight pairs, and see if he still wears them!
Nagu, who was missed by others, was running wildly in the snow. He didn't expect winter to come so suddenly, although he also counted it as just a few days.He left in a hurry today, and he forgot to bring dry food, his stomach was already growling with hunger.How many times he went hunting hungry before, he didn't take it seriously, but now he was spoiled by Xu Fei, and he felt like something was missing if he didn't eat a meal.
He glanced at the three bob-tailed deer on his back, and then thought about the "soil bumps" and dried meat halfway through the cave, and felt that the snow falling on his body was not so cold.What's more, there is a little man waiting for him to go home in the cave, and when he thinks of Xu Fei, the big man will run with more energy.
He wanted to go home as soon as possible, but God didn't let him do so.The snow layer can cover many things, but Nagu, who has a keen sense of smell, still smelled a bloody smell, and he stopped cautiously three or four meters away from the smell.
It has been snowing for a while, and there is three or four centimeters of snow on the ground.Not too thin, but not enough to cover those bodies.Their bodies were torn apart in all directions, and the heavy snow had frozen their bronze-colored skin blue.The body that was originally full of strength is now quietly buried like the hunted food.
Nagu didn't go over to take a closer look, but he also recognized that it was someone from their tribe.The broken parts of their bodies showed signs of being bitten by wild animals. Nagu was not sure if they died from the mouth of the giant python.He looked at those clansmen who ignored him and even insulted him in the past, feeling very complicated.Death is always scary, they're kin, and even if they don't like themselves, Big Boo doesn't want them to be punished that way.
Seeing this miserable appearance, he didn't know whether to warn the clan immediately or go back to the cave.There are so many people in the clan, and there is only one little guy in the cave. It is selfish, and he made a selfish choice for the first time.
However, just as he was about to bypass the corpse field, a large object suddenly jumped out from the snow, it was a giant python.Nagu was startled at first, then reacted quickly and jumped back, dodging the giant python's attack.
It was also thanks to the heavy snow that the sudden drop in temperature made the python's reaction less flexible.Although Nagu's joints were also a little stiff from the cold, when he thought of the little guy, he desperately refused to let himself relax.
The whole body of this giant python is completely black, except for two dark golden patterns on its neck.It is less than five feet thick, twists and turns, and you can't see where the tail is.Nagu glanced at it, and he was sure that it was a juvenile python, but the juvenile python is not easy to deal with!
The snow fell harder and harder, and the movement of the giant python became slower and slower.Nagu dealt with him for a long time, and only suffered some scratches on his body, but he spent most of his physical strength.This is not possible, Nagu shook his head, and the snow on his head fell.He glanced at the prey that was about to be covered by snow, and thought of a good idea.
He bowed quietly, and slowly moved to the side of the prey.The giant python raised its snake head high and looked ready to attack at any time.In this cold weather, Nagu's head broke out in a little cold sweat.
As soon as he picked up the three short-tailed deer on the ground, the snake head swayed over there. Nagu was not in a hurry to hide at this time, and the moment the snake's mouth opened, he grabbed a short-tailed deer that was hardened by the cold. The tailed deer slammed into the mouth of the giant python.The giant python was probably knocked unconscious, and slowly swallowed the prey in its mouth according to its instinct, and Nagu also took this opportunity to escape from its attacking range.Regardless of the ease with which he did it, if he didn't grasp the timing just now, the one who entered the python's belly would not be the prey but Nagu himself.
After this accident, it was dark to the bottom.Of course, this did not prevent Nagu from finding his way. He glanced back, and the big black python slowly lowered its head after swallowing its prey, as if it didn't intend to chase after it.Only then did Nagu heave a sigh of relief, he didn't want to lure the giant python to his house.
Over there, Nagu managed to escape the catastrophe, but here Xu Fei was already in a hurry.He didn't take a sip of the broth that was simmering on the pot, and he didn't close the wooden door, for fear that the big man would come back and it would be dark and he wouldn't be able to find the hole.This is caring and chaos, Xu Fei completely forgot that the big fool in his heart is a strange person with night vision ability!
When Xu Fei No.90 was looking outside the cave, Nagu came back with two frozen prey and a whole body of cold air.Xu Fei's restless heart finally returned to its original place.
The first thing Nagu said when he came back was "It smells good", and then he looked at Xu Fei pitifully like a big dog who had been hungry for a long time.Xu Fei closed the wooden door, and the cave became much warmer.
He didn't hang on to Nagu's appetite, and directly pulled out the sweet potatoes roasted at noon from the fire.At this time, the inside of the sweet potato has been baked until golden and soft, and it is extremely fragrant.Nagu was not afraid of being scalded, so he started to chew on it.Seeing how delicious his food was, Xu Fei picked up smaller ones from the fire and ate them.
After Nagu finished eating the big sweet potato in his hand, he wanted to take another one right away, but Xu Fei beat him up.When you are very hungry, you can't eat too much at once, so he brought a bowl of hot broth to warm the big man's stomach.
Xu Fei refused to let him eat, so he had to finish the soup obediently.After drinking, Xu Fei asked him to tidy up his body first, and then put on clean and thick winter clothes, and then let him have a big meal.
After he finished the work at hand and had enough food and drink, Xu Fei began to ask him what happened today.Thinking of the giant python he met halfway, Nagu's expression turned ugly.He told the matter in detail, and Xu Fei broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.Looking at the big man who ate and lived with him in front of him, maybe he would never come back, a strange and sour feeling came to Xu Fei's heart.
He carefully inspected Nagu's wounds and found that they were just small scratches, so he applied medicine one by one.Nagu still wanted to go to the clan, so Xu Fei naturally stopped him.Thrilling all day long, still not letting people stop in the middle of the night?
The big man who was forcibly pressed onto the kang obediently obeyed, the animal skin under it was warm, and there was a little person he liked beside him, how could he refuse?
This may be the warmest winter Nagu has had in so many years.He gently kissed Xu Fei who rolled into his arms to sleep, and closed his eyes reassuringly, letting sleepiness strike.
