Chapter 27: Catch Me and Have a Barbecue
In his previous life, Si Shuo learned things that were quiet, cultivated his sentiments, and helped him kill time.
She is not very talented in painting. She can paint accurately, but she lacks the agility and appeal required in the industry.
The truth is that she is trapped in a small place. All she hears and sees is what others say, what is written in books, and what is broadcast on TV. Without being there herself, how broad can her mind and how broad her thinking be?
But now she can use this ability, which is enough to convey the message to Zhile.
Si Shuo held the eyebrow pencil and thought for a while, then started drawing after Zhile left. One picture was her daily life, one was the arrival of Ji Liang, one was the arrival of stray animals and her being kidnapped, and the last one was when she escaped and met Xu Chi.
Finally, she drew a smiley face and stroked the mark of the beast, indicating that she was waiting for his arrival.
Si Shuo tied up these pictures with dry grass and put them into the space.
She gently stroked the beast mark on her wrist...
The snow leopard running in the jungle suddenly stopped in a hurry. His heart, which had been beating very fast due to anxiety and fear, now calmed down.
He took a deep breath, opened the space with hope, and found the stack of pictures.
Zhile lowered his eyes and read slowly. He wished he could imagine her describing each picture in its entirety.
Si Shuo uses the style of simple cartoons, which allows him to express his ideas vividly and clearly with just a few strokes.
Seeing that she was temporarily fine, Zhile didn't dare to feel reassured. He put some fruits into the space and continued to transform into a snow leopard, running towards the direction where he sensed her.
Not long after Si Shuo put the painting into the space, Xu Chi came back with a long-eared rabbit, a bamboo rat, a striped chicken and a half-grown piglet.
He also dragged some firewood! Xu Chi manually cleared a patch of grass, pulled out the weeds, and used the fire drill method to light a fire in just one or two minutes.
Si Shuo was stunned by the efficiency and quickness.
Xu Chi processed the prey, placed it on large leaves, and roasted it one by one in silence.
After roasting the rabbit, he tore off a hind leg and handed it to her.
Si Shuo hurriedly took it, but the freshly grilled meat was too hot, and she couldn't help but throw the meat away.
After Xu Chi took it, he put the meat on the leaves. Seeing that her white and tender hands immediately had several blisters, he pursed his lips, pulled her to the river, and pressed her hands into the water.
The cool water dispelled the burning sensation from his fingertips, and Si Shuo let out a breath.
"Sorry," he lowered his eyes slightly.
"It's okay. I was a little impatient and forgot that the freshly grilled meat was too hot." Si Shuo smiled and shook his head. Seeing that he was still pressing his hand, he said helplessly: "Xu Chi, you can let go of your hand. I can soak it myself."
Xu Chi nodded, let go of his hands and continued grilling the meat.
Si Shuo slightly mobilized her special powers and concentrated them on her fingertips. In just ten or twenty seconds, the blisters on her fingertips disappeared and the pain was gone.
But she still pretended to soak it for another five or six minutes before taking it out and shaking it. "Luckily I soaked it in water in time, so there are no bubbles."
Xu Chi took a look and handed over the rabbit leg skewered with branches.
Si Shuo didn't hesitate. He thanked him and then took the food and started to chew it.
The meat on the long-eared rabbit's hind legs was firm and chewy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Most importantly, this male was really skilled. I don't know what he sprinkled on the campfire, but the roasted meat had no fishy smell and had a pleasant herbal fragrance. He also brushed a layer of honey on the outside.
Who can resist honey-glazed barbecue? But the hind legs of the long-eared rabbit are a bit big, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that she has to carry it to eat it. She has only eaten half of it.
Xu Chi was a good eater. He left a leg of each piece of meat for Si Shuo and finished the rest himself!
Si Shuo sighed silently again. The males have such a huge appetite. No wonder the orcs have been running around collecting food after the ice and snow melted in the cold winter.
After finishing his meal, he went into the woods again and came out with some fruits in a bag made of animal skin.
Si Shuo was chewing a piece of fruit and was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. His head kept banging and he was about to fall down when he was held up by a pair of bony hands.
She had consumed too much physical strength, energy and supernatural powers today, and she was a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Xu Chi watched her struggling to open her eyes, then squatted in front of her, "I'll carry you."
Si Shuo's brain was already overloaded, and he was not very wary of him. After struggling, he put his arms around his neck and put himself on his back.
Xu Chi didn't look particularly strong, but his back still gave her a sense of security that could dispel all danger.
She rested her head on it and soon fell asleep.
Xu Chi held her in one hand, packed her things with the other, and flew through the woods with her on his back.
The little female was so thin that he could not feel her weight at all when she was on his back. Moreover, she was soft and delicate, unlike the hard and rough male.
That's right, she didn't smell very good. Ever since he saw her, he stopped breathing through his nose and relied entirely on his mouth...
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Si Shuo has always had the habit of taking a nap, which has been her unshakable routine for many years.
However, her lunch break is not long, only about an hour.
When she opened her eyes, she thought she was sitting on an e-scooter. The surrounding scenery was whizzing backwards, blowing her hair like Qiao Feng.
Si Shuo subconsciously rubbed her head against the "pillow". Feeling the "pillow" move, she immediately woke up, an embarrassed blush flashing across her face.
She looked up at the sun in the sky. It was much lower than before, and at least an hour had passed.
"Xuchi, you won't carry me on your back all the time, right?" At a speed of thirty miles per hour!
Xu Chi hummed, "The tribe is far away, we have to get there before sunset."
The corner of Si Shuo's mouth twitched. If she wasn't carried by him, at her speed, it would take her two or three days to walk, right?
She was too shameless to tell him to rest because he was tired. After all, there was a fundamental difference between her climbing onto his back in a daze and climbing on it out of laziness.
At least she wasn't that shameless! "Xu Chi, why did your beast form cause trouble?" Si Shuo couldn't help but ask.
She was too curious about what kind of orc he was. There didn't seem to be a trace of wildness or instinct in him, so she subconsciously thought of him as a normal person who was strong, fast and could eat a lot.
"It's not common. The tribe knows about it and wants to capture it."
Why does it feel like she was pretending before? The more he said this, the more curious Si Shuo became. What does curiosity kill the cat mean?
She is now the real meow.
"Can't you reveal a little bit? Like, what's your color?"
"Hair color," the child answered very honestly!
Just as Si Shuo continued to unearth the secret, the cry of the crowned orc was heard again in the sky.
"It's over, Xuchi, let's hide quickly, that crowned eagle orc wants to catch me and roast me." Si Shuo's face changed, and he patted Xuchi's shoulder, "He is a level 4 orc, one level higher than you."
Not only is it one level higher, it's also one tone higher, which means ten times more suppression! Xu Chi paused and looked up. In just a few seconds, the crowned orc had already swooped over...
