The earthquake last night caused the camouflage on the trap to collapse in, like a gaping bare mouth, isolating her from the outside.
Wrapped in an animal skin, Mu Qing sat on the top of a boulder rolled down from the top of the cliff, waiting for Limang.
The sun gradually rose to the sky above the passage at the bottom of the valley, casting warmth for a short time, but then quickly disappeared.
Mu Qing waited until it got dark. The winter chill hit her in waves and penetrated her body from her neck and arms. She felt very cold, and she was shocked to realize that another day had passed.
Li Mang must be on his way back. Just after the earth shook, he rushed back. It's just that the journey is too far, so after midnight and another day, he still hasn't come back.
That's all.
She took a few breaths at her frozen hands, struggled to climb down on the rocks, and almost lost her footing.
My feet were also frozen, and some of my toes were so numb that I could barely feel them.
She sat on the ground, took her feet out of her shoes, and slowly rubbed her toes. She waited until she felt the blood flow in her skin and regained some consciousness before standing up again.
Limang will definitely come back. She hasn't eaten for a day. Need to go get something to eat. With the calories from food, she had the strength to continue waiting for him.
While mumbling this to himself, Mu Qing returned to the outer cave and wanted to light a fire. When lighting a fire, my hands floated completely uncontrollably. The flint on his right hand hit his left thumb hard, breaking a large piece of skin, and blood immediately flowed out.
Mu Qing cursed, put his bleeding thumb into his mouth, sucked it hard, and spat out the blood.
She felt pain in her hands. But the pain was like a thread, pulling her slowly sinking and cold heart back to life.
She was cooking a large pot of wild vegetable and meat soup. Li Mang might come back in the middle of the night, and he would be very hungry by then, so he could eat just in time. If he still doesn't come back..., it doesn't matter. She can keep the rest for her to eat tomorrow. After eating, she can sit on the boulder and wait for him.
The soup in the jar gradually bubbled, and the mist began to evaporate, filling the entire roof of the outer cave. She could also smell the aroma of vegetable and meat soup at the tip of her nose.
She took a bowl and stirred the soup in the jar with a big spoon.
Suddenly she heard a dull snapping sound.
This voice is very familiar to her. It was Xiao Hei who made a sound when his feet fell on the stone surface while running.
She turned back suddenly, and with her hand, the jar fell from the stone shelf on the fire. The soup was poured onto the fire, making a hissing sound, and the flames were extinguished.
Mu Qing didn't care about straightening the jar, dropped the spoon in his hand, and almost jumped up and ran outside. As soon as she reached the entrance of the cave, a black shadow rushed towards her, almost knocking her to the ground.
It's Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei jumped up into her arms, grabbed her shoulders affectionately with his two front paws, and licked her neck and cheeks with his warm and moist tongue.
Mu Qing hugged Xiao Hei tightly.
It is now much heavier than when I first picked it up a few months ago, and it is twisting and turning, so Mu Qing cannot hold it firmly, and Xiao Hei drops it.
Xiao Hei is back, where is Li Mang?
She didn't care about Xiao Hei anymore and ran towards the mouth of the valley. As he turned a corner, he bumped into a man's chest.
It's Limang.
His chest was very strong, and it hurt her nose to hit him so hard.
She raised her head and stared blankly at Li Mang, who was standing in front of her, panting. It was obvious that he had just run all the way back.
Perhaps my nose really hurt from being hit. Not only was it painful, it was also sore. The next second, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She suddenly raised her hands, clenched them into two fists, and beat his chest desperately, again and again, using all her strength.
Li Mang kept holding her body, letting her beat him, coaxing her in a low voice, until her hands gradually slowed down, then she climbed onto his shoulders and hung them around his neck.
She stood on her tiptoes, ignoring the tears on her face, forcefully pulled down his head, and kissed his lips.
She dared not admit that she had been afraid every moment before. Afraid that he would get hurt, afraid that he would never come back, afraid that he would die outside, leaving her to wait in this valley alone until she was desperate.
Now she just wants to kiss him to prove that he is really back. As for brushing your teeth, let’s put it aside for now.
Li Mang touched her soft lips and was startled. Avoid it subconsciously.
He still firmly remembers the rules she gave him: he is not allowed to kiss her on the mouth until he brushes his teeth.
Except for him, he hasn't brushed his teeth for several days.
But before he could move away, she had already pressed his head hard again and pressed against him heavily. Not only did their lips and teeth meet, but her tongue entered his mouth, intertwined tightly with him, and their fluids mingled with each other. It wasn't until both of them couldn't breathe that they slowly relaxed.
She was carried back to the cave by Li Mang and placed on a piece of animal skin mat. Then he lit a rosin torch and inserted it into the crack in the cave wall, and the inside was suddenly illuminated.
He squatted in front of her and awkwardly wiped away the tears on her face with his palm. Suddenly he noticed that there was a stain on her face where he had wiped it. He retracted his hand and smiled at her sheepishly. Down.
He was going to wash his hands by the stream. Mu Qing hurriedly took his arm and went with him, as if he was afraid that he would not come back. Not knowing why, Xiao Hei also followed him and then came back.
He asked her to sit back on the mat and stopped her from doing anything.
Mu Qing watched him arrive at the outer cave, lifted up the jar that he had just overturned, and poured less than a third of the soup and base into a large bowl. Then a fire broke out and burned their dinner.
His movements were unfamiliar, and he looked a little busy holding the handle of the spoon, but his every move looked so serious in the light of the fire, which warmed her heart.
The two of them had packed up in the evening. Mu Qing lay in his arms, smelling the fragrance of the burning rosin in the cave, and asked him about his past few days.
He said he hunted the tiger. With a net, it was inspired by her weaving of fishing nets.
The material for making the net was a kind of rattan he climbed to the cliff and cut. The surface of that kind of rattan is covered with fine scales, and it grows over the years. It takes several years to grow to the thickness of a thumb, and it is extremely tough. He used this kind of rattan to weave a large net that could be closed freely. He dug a trap on the way the giant toothed tiger had to go in and out of the cave. He stretched the net over the well mouth and covered it with a layer of branches and leaves that could support the weight of the bait. Then he began to wait patiently. .
He knows the routine of the giant toothed tiger. He usually doesn't come out during the day and only comes out at night. So during the day, he recharged his energy in a safe place nearby. At night, he **** an injured wild sheep and put it there, waiting for the giant toothed tiger to come out. I waited until last night when the giant tiger came out to hunt because of hunger and found the bait. When it jumped up, the branches could not support the huge weight of the giant tooth and collapsed. Li Mang, who had been hiding in the tree, tightened his hand and tied it to the net. Prisoner, the sharp spear was thrown hard and pierced the tiger's belly.
The giant toothed tiger is extremely ferocious. Even though he was imprisoned and stabbed in the abdomen, he still roared and tried to break and close his net. The tough rattan was torn open by sharp claws.
Hai Hei, who had been too lazy to raise his spirits during the day, suddenly jumped onto the giant toothed tiger's head like a bolt of lightning, biting hard at the tiger's eyes and nose. The giant toothed tiger shook vigorously in pain, and its small black claws and teeth pinned itself tightly to the tiger's head. The tiger roared and struggled in the trap, and its front paws dug a big hole in the bottom of the trap. Li Mang held the Muqing saber in his hand and jumped on the tiger's back at the right moment. He hugged it firmly with one hand to stabilize himself from being thrown away. The other hand found the tiger's jaw and throat and stabbed it hard. The giant toothed tiger was swept away. He cut his throat, struggled for a moment, and finally fell into a pool of blood.
It was already midnight.
This giant toothed tiger was too huge, even bigger than the one he and his tribe hunted together last time. Even if Li Mang is so powerful, it is not easy to move it back by one person. He knew that he had been out for several days, and if he didn't return for a long time, he was afraid that Mu Qing would worry him, so he planned to skin the tiger carcass on the spot, take the skin and part of the meat back first, and pick up the rest next time. At this time, dark clouds covered the sun and an earthquake occurred.
The earth shook for a short time and Li Mang became anxious and wanted to go home to see what happened. He covered the tiger corpse with branches and leaves, pushed dirt over it and buried it hastily. He immediately rushed back with Xiao Hei and didn't arrive until this time.
Mu Qing was so shocked that he almost lost his breath. She was so lucky that both she and Li Mang were so lucky. Not only did he escape the earthquake disaster and hunt down prey, but he also promised that he would never leave her for so long to hunt prey again, no matter how tempting the prey was. Now that he knew, nothing could compare to the peace of mind that knowing she was safely by his side gave him.
He went out early the next morning, carrying weapons and various tools to carry the tiger carcass back. Mu Qing also insisted on going together. She said she could help him. He hesitated and finally agreed.
Mu Qing was right, she did help him.
The tiger is too big to be moved back whole by one person, unless it is dismembered and thrown away.
But Mu Qing came up with a way.
She brought out a stone ax and asked Li Mang to chop down some trees as thick as her wrists. She used a net to tie the trees together into a row with the giant toothed tiger rattan. A few thicker rolling logs were installed. In this way, Li Mang pulled the rope onto the rope in front, and she followed behind by leveraging the rolling log. Xiao Hei... Xiao Hei was a big contributor, so sometimes when he was lazy and didn't want to run away, he squatted on the raft leisurely. When he was with the tiger corpse, Li Mang finally restrained himself from grabbing it by the neck and throwing it away.
They walked slowly like this for three days and finally succeeded in carrying the tiger back to the valley. It also comes with several other smaller prey encountered on the road. Mu Qing also picked up something that looked like a fossil. Although it is useless, it is also good as a decoration in their bridal chamber.
Slaughtering the tiger carcass was another exciting moment for Mu Qing.
When the tiger was slaughtered in the settlement, she did not watch. But this time, she witnessed every detail with her own eyes.
Watching Li Mang's skillful movements of peeling off the entire tiger skin, and listening to the sound of the skin and bones being separated, she suddenly remembered that she had learned how to untie the cow from the cook in middle school.
She watched Li Mang dismember the tiger corpse and washed the entire tiger skin happily. She thought about using the tiger scalp to make a hat for Li Mang. He would look very majestic when wearing it. He stroked the thick and soft fur on the tiger skin again, thinking about how to use the tiger skin to make warm clothing.
While she was doing this and thinking about this, she suddenly remembered that she used to not even dare to kill a fish. But now, she watched from beginning to end without changing her expression, and even felt that the sound of skin and bones being separated when Limang was peeling was so sweet.
She was proud that her man could kill such a huge beast, she was just proud.
She was also satisfied with herself. She felt that she had gradually become enough to match him, or at least work hard in this direction to become a true jungle warrior woman.
