The little fox ate food and drank water, and now became quite well-behaved, licking Wu Yue's fingers like a dog.
Ah, so cute.
Wu Yue completely forgot that he had disliked the fox just now. Now he just wanted to hold this furry fox in his arms and rub it.
"Does it hurt?" Wu Yue asked. Will there be any sequelae after hitting his head against a rock and passing out?
The little fox tilted its head, seemingly not understanding, but it seemed like there was no problem.
The little fox, having no needs, stopped making any sound and just chased Wu Yue's fingers, biting and playing with them.
Wu Yue picked up the little fox and went out. He still had to make soap.
The little fox was no longer afraid of the biped that fed and communicated with it, but the people outside were still afraid, especially the blood-soaked hunting team. Wu Yue stroked the little fox and whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I won't kill you, and I'll give you meat."
"Lord Messenger of God, why are you holding a fox?" The furry little animal first attracted the child's attention, and Xiaoshu came over and looked at it eagerly.
"It's a new member of the tribe. Don't bully it from now on." Wu Yue, minding his own business, let the Fox family join the tribe. He said to Xiao Shu, "It's a little scared right now and can't play with you. Wait a few days until it gets used to playing with you, okay?"
The easy-to-please child nodded happily: "Okay!"
By the campfire, everyone had almost finished processing today's prey, and the small piece of fat that Wu Yue requested was also placed on a large leaf by Shi Hao.
"Oh, this fox is really obedient in the hands of the messenger!" Seeing the little thing in Wu Yue's arms, Shi cut some not-so-good scraps and put them on the leaves without waiting for Wu Yue to say anything.
"Thank you." Wu Yue nodded to him, holding the fox and walked to sit next to Xiao.
Xiao looked at the fox in his arms and frowned.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that Wu Yue liked the gift he gave him, but looking at the intimacy between the man and the fox, he felt a little unhappy.
Except for the time when Wu Yue fell asleep, he had never hugged Wu Yue tightly when he was awake!
Wu Yue didn't notice Xiao's displeasure. He sat down and casually took out a toothbrush and a bowl of homemade tooth powder from his space and handed them to Xiao: "You often see how I brush my teeth in the morning, right? Take this small brush and dip it in this powder, and brush your teeth every day like I do."
He also prepared a gift for himself!
Xiao's mood suddenly improved. He took the delicate little brush and examined it. Although it was small, he could tell at a glance that it had taken a lot of effort to make.
It seems that Wu Yue will agree to be my partner soon, maybe next month!
As Xiao was thinking this, he looked up and saw Wu Yue took out a few more toothbrushes and distributed them to Xiaoshu and two other children in the tribe, and taught them how to brush their teeth.
This... is he being treated the same as the brat?
Wu Yue had no idea what Xiao was thinking. After teaching the child how to brush his teeth, he put the fox down and placed the meat on the leaf in front of it.
The little fox was afraid of people and fire, so it carefully huddled under Wu Yue's shadow and began to eat.
Wu Yueze started making soap.
He found a small clay pot, put half of it with wood ash, filled it with water and put it on the fire to boil.
The fat on hand was cut into small pieces and placed in a ceramic bowl by the fire. As the fat heated up, it soon sizzled and some fat seeped out.
Wu Yue took out a pair of homemade chopsticks, put one in the wood ash water and the other in the ceramic bowl, stirring the pot and then the bowl.
The oil was boiled out quickly, but not much, only half a bowl.
He took a clean ceramic bowl and scooped out a few small pieces of oil residue. He handed it to Xiao and said, "Try it. This stuff is very fragrant."
Xiao picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. It was indeed fragrant and crispy. Although there was no seasoning, the fat-rich fried food could naturally capture the human stomach.
Giving him such delicious food, it seems that Wu Yue really likes me very much. Maybe he will agree to be my partner tomorrow, without having to wait until next month!
Wu Yue didn't have time to care about him and continued to boil the wood ash water until the water was boiled into a volume similar to that of lard.
There were still some disposable face towels left that had been distributed to the women in the tribe. He took out one and filtered the wood ash water, obtaining a yellow liquid.
This concentration should be enough. He poured the lard and wood ash water into a large bowl and continued to heat and stir it by the fire.
Stirring and stirring, the water in the big bowl gradually boiled and some fine foam appeared on the surface of the water.
It felt like soap! Wu Yue perked up.
The water in the small ceramic bowl was quickly evaporated by the fire. Wu Yue moved the bowl away from the fire and slowly dried up the last bit of water over low heat, obtaining half a bowl of brown sticky substance.
It feels almost done, and the next step is to wait for it to dry.
He put the bowl of semi-finished product into the space, and when he looked up, he saw several people looking at him expectantly.
There are so many pots and bowls here, you might suspect I'm eating all the food by myself, right? Wu Yue quickly explained, "What I just made was soap, the same soap I used on you guys at the hot springs before, the kind that can clean your body very well. But we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out if it worked."
In fact, he was overthinking it. He was a messenger of God. No one would stop him even if he wanted to eat a whole pig leg, let alone a small piece of fat.
These people were staring at him expectantly because it was almost time for his "class". Of course, in his eyes it was a class, but in the eyes of others they were just listening to a story.
After eating barbecue and drinking soup, he told a few stories and demonstrated how to make toothbrushes and tooth powder. He called on everyone to make one and clean their teeth every morning and evening.
His words were more effective than anyone else's in the Sharp Tooth Tribe, and everyone nodded obediently.
He was delayed for a long time today and it was already past his usual rest time. Feeling sleepy, he said hello and carried the little fox back to the house to sleep.
The little fox nestled obediently in his arms, making a soft "wool" sound, indicating that it wanted to sleep.
Wu Yue built a nest for the little fox in the corner of the room using an old piece of fur. He lay on the kang and was planning to think about giving the little fox a name, but he fell into a deep sleep before he could come up with anything.
When he woke up the next day, the little fox was nowhere to be seen on the old fur.
The empty room was visible at a glance, with no sign of the little creature. Wu Yue called out twice, but it didn't emerge from anywhere.
Did he run away?
Wu Yue looked at the chimney left by the stove. The agile and thin little guy seemed to be able to run out from here.
As expected, the wild beast still cannot be tamed...
Wu Yue felt a little lost. He sat on the kang blankly for a while before forcing himself to get up.
It's just a fox, nothing special about it.
When he opened the door, he was pleasantly surprised to see the little fox lying at his door waiting. When he looked up and saw him, he jumped a few times excitedly and cried a few times: "Eat, you eat!"
Only then did Wu Yue notice that there was a sparrow and two mice next to the fox.
Wu Yue was surprised. He didn't expect that this little thing would return the favor.
His heart softened instantly, and he was deeply moved. This little thing is so cute!
He squatted down and touched the little fox's head: "I don't eat it, baby eats it."
The little fox tilted its head and looked at him in confusion, not knowing what a baby was.
Wu Yue patiently taught the name he had just chosen: "I am Wu Yue. You are Bao Bao."
After repeating it several times, the clever little fox quickly understood that the two overlapping pronunciations were its own name. It jumped a few times, then came up to lick Wu Yue's hand, as if it accepted the meaning of the name.
Letting the baby eat its prey by itself, Wu Yue, who had recovered his mood, hummed a song and walked to the river to wash up. By the way, he planned to try the wood ash soap he made yesterday.
After drying overnight, the sticky substance had been fixed in the bowl. Wu Yue took out the bowl-shaped soap, wet his hands, and tried to apply it on his hands and rub them.
After rubbing for a long time, there was no foam and my hands still felt a bit sticky like lard.
Is he going to crash? But the protagonists in those time-travel novels always do this!
Wu Yue sighed silently for not being the protagonist, and reached out to rinse his hands in the river. However, he noticed that things were better after rinsing. The sticky feeling on his hands could be washed off easily, and they were not covered with lard.
And although it doesn't leave a noticeable astringent feeling after washing your hands like modern soap, your hands still become quite clean.
So this should be considered... a success?
Wu Yue's mood immediately improved. He carefully put away the soap and stood up to check the vegetable garden.
But Shi came hurriedly and said, "God's messenger, the chief asks you to go to the gate of the tribe."
Seeing his serious expression, Wu Yue immediately stood up and asked as he walked with him, "What's the matter?"
Shi replied, "A migrating tribe has just arrived. They sent people over, but we can't understand what they are saying."
Migrating tribes!? Wu Yue's eyes lit up.
