Chapter 373 If he continues practicing, he really won’t be able to beat her!
The girl was quiet and silent, her back looking even thinner in the firelight.
Bai Yu watched quietly, a trace of loss flashing across his eyes. From the time they escaped until now, Tianbao had not said a word to him.
I don’t know what kind of medicine Grandpa Du applied to him, but the wound started to itch and hurt.
Bai Yu's eyelids grew heavier, and he fell into a drowsy sleep. The voices beside his ears also became distant.
"Sister, are you making porridge?" Little Wheat Ear rubbed against the girl and sniffed the small iron pot. The aroma of rice from the freshly boiled porridge was very pleasant. "It must be cooked for Bai Yu... I have never tasted porridge cooked by my sister in my life!"
The wheat ears were jealous.
The three brothers of the Su family are no exception.
Su Wu snorted deliberately, "Don't even mention you. The three of us brothers have never tasted anything made by Tian Bao."
Wheat ears, "You don't need it, you can grow even if you drink the northwest wind!"
“…”
The two were about to clash again, but Tian Bao interrupted them and said, "This is my first time cooking, I'm not very good at it, so it may not be delicious."
Su Wu suddenly thought of something, "Tianbao, have you washed the rice?"
"No." She forgot.
The people nearby were speechless as they looked at the girl's self-righteous expression.
The crackling sound of burning firewood, the fragrance of firewood and the gradually richer aroma of porridge spread a hint of fireworks on the quiet night mountain forest path.
A rare peace.
"Tianbao, take out the cocoon and let's take a look. It's so hard to get, let's see what it looks like."
After satisfying their appetite, several people gathered around Tianbao and watched her take out the cocoon.
Worried that flames would burst out from the fire behind and burn the cocoons, Du Buqin drove the three boys from the Su family to that direction to block the fire.
When Tianbao took the thing out, the seven people around him all stretched out their hands to lift it up, and treated it with great care, fearing that the cocoon would be blown to pieces by the wind.
Everyone stared at the little thing without blinking.
"Is this really Bu Yu? It's too small, a pair, and they're only as big as my thumb!"
"It looks just like a silkworm cocoon... Could it be a mistake? Will two silkworms emerge in the end?"
"Pfft! Stop talking like a crow! What silkworm? This is Bu Yu! The one that comes out must be Bu Yu!"
"That's not right. According to what the paper says, a butterfly emerges from a cocoon, so the butterfly should come out?"
“…”
“…”
If a butterfly is about to emerge, wouldn't it be a waste?!
Six pairs of eyes turned to Bing'er, without blinking.
Bing'er was already small when she was squatting, and when she was looked at like that, her upper body gradually hunched over.
After a moment, he straightened his upper body again.
"This is a rare mandarin duck cocoon. Whether it's an insect or a butterfly that comes out, I can make them give birth to little bugs!" This was the first time Bing'er boasted so confidently. "When I was a kid, my mother-in-law and I raised bugs, and every pair gave birth to little bugs. I can raise them!"
Everyone's face was mixed with joy and sorrow.
What’s good is that Bing’er knows how to raise insects, but whether it’s trustworthy or not will be discussed later.
What worries me is...
The old man leaned his head in front of Bing'er and said, "Bing'er, can you hatch a cocoon?"
Bing'er, "..."
Everyone, “…”
The unsolvable problem could be solved later. The old man put his worries aside and urged Tianbao to put the cocoon away. "Tianbao, you must keep this thing well. You might be able to find it next time!"
The others nodded in agreement, "Be sure to take good care of them. It might not be so easy to come to Shudao next time. Tianbao, you must cherish these cocoons."
Tianbao pursed her lips, looked at the cocoon lying in the palm of her hand, and after a moment put it into the wooden box and stored it in her space.
She raised her eyes and saw the worried and concerned gazes of her relatives and friends. Even their relieved expressions were for her.
"I will treasure it." She said, "This is something Bai Yu fought so hard to get back. Even if I can't use it, I will keep it well."
Du Buqin felt relieved when he heard the first sentence, but felt relieved again after hearing the second sentence. He looked at Bai Yu again with a fierce look.
Broken Knife stretched out his long arm and pushed the old man to the other side, blocking his sight of eating people.
"What are you doing? Grandpa is still holding back his anger. Stop touching me. I'm breaking up with you!"
"None of the boys are as childish as you. Breaking up has almost become a catchphrase."
"Who's childish? Grandson!"
"Rabbit legs, freshly roasted and spiced."
“No!”
"Your stomach is growling."
"...I'll settle the score with you after we finish eating!"
In the small iron pot placed on the fire, the rice porridge was bubbling and had become thick.
Tianbao took a bowl and filled it with soup. After cooling it to the right temperature, he walked to the back.
Bai Yu was lying a little away from the fire, covered with a thin blanket.
The firelight from the other side shone on his face, and it was still impossible to ignore the paleness of his complexion.
Inexplicably showing a bit of fragility.
Tianbao walked to his side and just squatted down when the young man opened his eyes and looked at her eagerly.
"Get up and have some porridge." Tian Bao was not surprised and handed the bowl over. "Don't say you can't get up. Your waist and legs are not injured."
"Tsk, Tianbao, you've silenced me." Bai Yu curled his eyes and propped himself up to sit up. "I'm a wounded soldier now, can't you just give me some space?"
Tianbao's eyes fell on the porridge, "I've already given it."
The curve of young people's eyes is more beautiful.
A bowl of porridge at just the right temperature was quickly emptied in his hand. After he finished it, he didn't return the bowl.
Tianbao squatted in front of him, not grabbing it, but looking at him quietly.
"You didn't talk to me all the way from Rock Valley. I thought you were still angry with me." The young man said with a squinting look, then lowered his eyelids and his gaze fell on the empty bowl.
He looked quite aggrieved.
"I'm not angry with you." Tian Bao pursed her lips, sat down, and looked at Bai Yu with a serious expression, "Bai Yu, I'm angry with myself."
The young man raised his eyes and waited for what was to come.
"I know you all want to help me get rid of the poison so that I can live well. But my life, your life, and the life of anyone around me are all equally important. If my life requires my life to be exchanged for yours, I don't want it."
Tian Bao rarely spoke at length. She looked at the young man with eyes that were extremely dark, and her lips were pursed tightly. "Bai Yu, if you die because of this, I will get the cocoon and remove the poison. I will live well and continue to take care of everyone I want to take care of, and live up to your kindness in risking your life to save me. But I will never be happy in this life."
Bai Yu's heart beat slowly as he stared at the girl without blinking.
He knew Tianbao's temper. She said these words exactly as she thought, without any concealment or embellishment.
Even though he was still nothing special in her eyes, he felt extremely satisfied to hear her say this.
"I understand. I was wrong this time. I will be more thoughtful in my actions next time," he said with a smile.
Tian Bao snatched the empty bowl from his hand and patted his head like a puppy. "No, you didn't do anything wrong. I was wrong. I've been reflecting on this all the way back. Ultimately, it's because I wasn't strong enough, so I couldn't protect everyone around me. I will practice harder in the future."
The girl stood up and walked back, "I'll serve you another bowl of porridge."
Bai Yu blinked repeatedly, his eyes gradually becoming numb and lifeless, "..."
I can't express my pain.
Tianbao said she was not strong enough.
She needs to practice harder.
...Stop practicing, or he really won’t be able to beat her!
