Chapter 34 Chapter 34
Today is the sixth day of the partners' survival. As long as they can get through tonight, they can leave the Rhea continent early tomorrow morning.
After returning from the river, Yumi found that Ansius was still not in a good condition.
Yumi carefully observed the fact that Arlo had a complete human form. Ansius's reaction was actually very calm, but it was not jealousy at all, but he really didn't care that much.
Is it because of overwork?
Thinking carefully about what Ansius had done these days, Yumi gradually became worried.
Hunting, fishing, making fire and cooking, fighting with rain dragons... If it were him, he would have been exhausted long ago.
Yumi looked at the sky, today was the last day.
At the entrance of the cave, facing the sunshine, the three of them finished eating the remaining electric beef from yesterday.
After resting for a while, when Anxius was about to go out hunting, Yumi suddenly asked, "We're not going hunting today, right?"
Antheus looked back at him, puzzled.
Yumi: "We can leave tomorrow morning. We can just eat some fruit for the rest of the day... It's the last day anyway, why not go out and have some fun instead of hunting?"
Arlo naturally had no objection. He now had a complete human form, but his appetite was still very low. It didn't matter if he didn't eat or drink for a day or two.
He enjoys eating with Yumi or playing with Yumi.
Antheus was reminded of last night by those words, and thinking that he was not feeling well, he decided not to go out hunting.
Having successfully set the pace, Yumi continued with a guilty conscience: "The scenery near the maze yesterday was very nice, and the mountain spring water was also very sweet. Let's go there again today?"
No one raised any objections.
Before leaving, Yumi packed a lot of things. He took some wild fruits from the cave and the pair of black wings. Finally, he wrapped them up with old clothes from the shelter. Just as he was about to carry them on his back, they were taken away by a claw.
Ansius easily took away his small bag, pulled out yesterday's vine cart, and let him get on.
Yumi tied the knife to her waist, shook her head and smiled, "I need to exercise more too."
Seeing that he really didn't want to sit, Ansius left the vine car so that if Yumi got tired, he could always pick her up.
Arriving at the destination at noon, Arlo found a wide and flat lawn and waved to Yumi: "We can have a picnic here!"
Yumi went over to take a look. As expected of a robot, the location was perfect. It was close to the bush maze so it could get some sun, but there were also big trees nearby to provide shade. There was a stream not far away, and the grassy slope opposite was full of wild flowers.
There is a breeze from time to time, and it is very enjoyable to just sit here. It is indeed a good place for a picnic.
Yumi was very satisfied. He stood up straight and began to assign tasks like a little leader: "Louis, Arlo, you are tall, go pick fruits from those giant trees, and I will go to the bushes to find berries... It's good that we are not too far away, so that anyone can hear us if we shout."
In a place like this, Ansius actually didn't want to separate from Yumi, but seeing Yumi glancing at the bushes with hopeful eyes, he thought that she hadn't had enough fun yesterday... Well, yesterday Yumi hadn't come out of the maze by herself, and he couldn't help but do something bad.
Arlo has actively gone to a distant place to pick wild fruits. Robots don't think too much and just do whatever they want to do.
It was a sunny day, and Ansius knew there would be no rain dragons here. He sent Yumi to the entrance of the bushes, sniffed carefully, and made sure there was no scent of snakes, which made him feel relieved.
Ansius did not go far. He was looking for wild fruits beside the bushes, and occasionally pricked up his ears to listen to Yumi's movements inside.
Yumi went in with a knife and a pair of black wings. He had only one goal today: to hunt pheasants!
He couldn't catch the pheasants in the mountains, but that was not necessarily the case for the ones here.
When he was playing here yesterday, he remembered that there were pheasants in the bushes.
All of this is to nourish our hard-working companions, I’m sorry, little pheasant!
Fighting a pheasant or something... doesn't exist. After a few seconds, Yumi took out the knife and started digging the soil with the scabbard.
Yes, Yumi’s strategy is to set traps and then wait for the prey.
In order to successfully catch the pheasant, he secretly brought some berries. After making the trap, he placed all the berries and dug insects on top of the trap. As long as the pheasant came over, it would fall into the pit.
Yumi just needs to go over there and catch it before it gets up.
In order to make the pheasants here let down their guard, Yumi tied the pair of black wings to his body with thin vines... It can also be regarded as a kind of ghillie suit to hide himself.
【？ ？ ？】
[What is Teacher Mi doing? Is she cosplaying as a fallen angel? ]
[It's obvious that they are setting a trap... Mimi is not going to use this trap to hunt fallen wild fruits, right? [Thinking]]
[Teacher Mi is serious. Have you forgotten that there was a pheasant here yesterday? Mi wants to catch a chicken! ]
[Ah, this... he won't be hurt, right? ]
[Am I the only one who is afraid that Mimi will be kidnapped by a wild chicken? ]
Yumi lay down in the grass near the trap, waiting for the pheasant to appear.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of the pheasant... Yumi could no longer sit still, he stood up and began to search in the maze, walking around and around, and finally heard some movement at a fork in the road.
He pricked up his ears, squatted down, pushed aside the leaves and took a look, and it was indeed a pheasant!
The pheasant walked a few steps, then looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, it lowered its head to peck at the berries.
Yumi was happy. He held his breath, walked around the path, and then jumped forward... Catch!
Ah, I didn't catch it.
The pheasant is very agile and can run very fast.
Yumi was afraid that it would run away like last time, so he quickly stopped it with a knife and chased it all the way, trying his best to drive the pheasant to his trap... It was just a coincidence that the pheasant was frightened by the eagle wings on his body, and several times it panicked and rushed into his trap by mistake...
Yumi's heart was beating wildly with excitement. He hurried over and lay down to press the trap. He didn't dare to move at all. He shouted loudly: "Louis! Arlo! Come here quickly--"
The pheasants fluttered and moved inside, and he was scared several times, but he just wouldn't leave.
He caught this with great difficulty!
As soon as the shout was heard, Ansius rushed in and soon saw Yumi lying on the ground with her face covered in dust and her hair covered in branches and leaves.
He had a pair of black wings tied to his body, and a few chicken feathers hanging from his horns. His face was red. When he saw his companions appear, he was very anxious: "Louis, I caught a pheasant! It's right down there!"
The monster came to its senses and picked him up with one paw. Just as the pheasant was about to escape, it was caught by the other paw and kept screaming.
After all this trouble in the bushes, Yumi was completely dejected. When he saw the pheasant was successfully caught, his nervousness finally disappeared and he said with a smile: "Great, we will have roast chicken for lunch!"
The monster looked at him with his eyes moving slightly, as if he didn't understand why he did this.
Not long ago, I said I wouldn’t hunt…
"Louis," Yumi struggled to the ground. Now that he had the spoils, he finally had the courage to say this, "You have been taking care of me these past few days. Now that you are tired, I will take care of you too."
“…”
The monster blinked slowly, and after a few seconds of being frozen, he arched his back, rubbed his horns, and hugged Yumi in his arms, refusing to let go this time. Yumi smiled, tiptoed, and patted his shoulder, looking like she was relieved.
Arlo just ran over at this moment, and when he saw this scene, he quickly stretched out his hands to hug Yumi: "Arlo hug, give Arlo a hug!"
Ansius naturally refused to give it to her and took Yumi to a nearby stream to wash it.
Arlo followed closely, and when he found that he had no angle to carry Yumi away, he simply snatched the pheasant that Yumi had hunted and started slaughtering it.
Yumi stepped into the stream with his feet reaching the bottom. He washed his arms while Ansius washed his face and hair. After a while, the gray Yumi became white and clean again.
Antheus found a pile of rocks far away from the grass and started to make a fire. The Yumi people were in high spirits because of the good news (catching chickens), and they ran around collecting firewood. Arlo came over after dealing with the pheasants.
One pheasant might be enough for three humans, but Yumi's two current companions are both huge Sna people. He wanted to use the same trick again and catch chickens in the bushes, but Anxius saw through his thoughts and stopped him: "There are still wild fruits, enough."
Yumi then sat down.
After the pheasant was roasted, Ansius wrapped it in the leaves of the giant tree and took it to the picnic area.
A huge old piece of clothing was spread on the grass, on top of which were placed wild fruits of various colors, roasted chicken torn into countless pieces, and a few Ganoderma lucidum fruits that Anxiu had found especially for Yumi.
…It would be nice to have some wine at this time! Although Yumi had never drunk much before she traveled through time, the beautiful atmosphere and delicious food seemed to go well with some wine.
Yumi bit the crispy chicken leg on the outside and tender on the inside, glancing at Antheus and Arlo out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that they had eaten, she felt very satisfied.
This is the pheasant he hunted, it smells so good!
"Eat more!" Yumi said with a greasy smile, "If it's not enough, I'll go catch more."
Antheus/Arlo: "..."
[Teacher Wuwuwumi actually succeeded, although the scene of him pressing down the pheasant in the end felt a bit like a mutual destruction...]
[What do you mean we will die together? The pheasant is already in Mimi's stomach. No matter how hard the process is, Mimi is the winner! The winner is the king. Rounding off, Mimi is the king of the Leia continent! ]
[I knew that Teacher Mi was conserving his strength before. If he didn't make a move, it would be fine. Once he made a move, he would be dead! ]
[No, if Teacher Mi doesn't take action, the chicken will die, the electric bull will die, and even the rain dragon will die. It's confirmed that Teacher Mi is at the top of the food chain in the Leia continent! ]
[Yesterday it was wild fruit, today it’s wild chicken, tomorrow I dare not think of anything, when the wild people come, they ask Teacher Mi to let them go, Teacher Mi will beat all the Rea with one move! ]
【……】
After eating the roast chicken and wild fruits, the three of them lay on the grass and looked at the scenery. They were very happy and enjoyed themselves. When the sun was not so strong, they packed up and started their journey back.
On the way back, the exhausted Yumi walked slower and slower. This time, Ansius didn't listen to him and just carried him on the way.
When they were halfway to the cave, footsteps were suddenly heard in the distance.
It seemed to be the sound of human footsteps.
The three of them stopped at the same time.
Yumi didn't dare to move and looked in the direction of the sound... There couldn't be any savages here, right?
Of course there were no savages. After a while, a specific human figure appeared in front of them. The two sides looked at each other and were obviously stunned.
It was Jinwen who looked a little embarrassed.
Yumi was small, so the first people he saw were Ansius and Arlo. After being shocked, he instinctively ran over. When he got closer, he finally noticed Yumi being held by Ansius. He was startled at once, but stopped in time and looked at Arlo who was closest to him: "Have you seen a robot, the guy named Arlo, I don't know where he ran off to..."
Arlo: “…”
Seeing that the man remained silent, Jinwen looked at Anxius and Yumi again: "Didn't you see it either?"
Yumi pointed at Arlo.
Jin Wen followed his finger and glanced at the man, puzzled: "Is this a photographer? Strange, we don't have a photographer over there... Don't worry, I found you by my own ability, I won't break the rules, it's okay."
Yumi: “…”
Arlo: “…”
[I'm impressed. What's with that look in Jinwen's eyes? Arlo is right in front of him! ]
[It's not Jinwen's fault. Jinwen didn't know that the robot had a human form, so he definitely wouldn't mistake the suddenly appearing human form for Arlo.]
[I couldn't stop laughing. Is this really not a show effect? ]
After a strange silence.
Jinwen: "What's wrong with you? Alas, it's really tiring to survive here, but we can just endure one more night." He looked at Yumi. Although he was reluctant to leave the little guy in front of him, he couldn't just sit back and watch his partner disappear. He waved his hand and continued to look for people.
Yumi continued pointing at Arlo: "This is Arlo, he has a complete human form."
Jinwen: “…Ah?”
A few minutes later.
Jinwen stroked his chin and looked around Arlo: "Okay, it is indeed a person, and the characteristics of the arms correspond... Then do you want to come back with me? If you are afraid of moisture, I can hang you on a tree."
Arlo just looked at Yumi: "Arlo follow Yumi."
Jin Wen was waiting for this! He pretended to be regretful, then sighed helplessly: "We are partners, the mission will be over tomorrow, I will reluctantly spend the night here with you."
Antheus gave him a cold look.
But he didn't say anything. It was the last day, and he didn't bother to get into a conflict with others as long as there was no threat to Yumi's existence.
Yumi had no objection to this. He had heard from Arlo that the location of their cave was very far away, so there was no need to walk such a long way back. The cave could accommodate one more person and they could just make do for one night.
In the afternoon, the four of them returned to the cave. Jinwen was very excited. He was very curious about where the little guy had been staying these days, and he had already prepared to spend the rest period after the first period watching the screen recording playback.
The first thing that caught his attention was the capsule room. It was so adorable that he couldn’t even imagine how cute the little one would be living in it!
Eh? What's up with this wallpaper? Egg-splitting expert? Ahhhh what happened? I must watch the screen recording when I get home!
It was the last day, and Ansius showed rare tolerance towards Jinwen. After all, all the attention was on Yumi.
From the time when Yumi caught the pheasant, he understood what the other party was thinking. It was not that he didn't want to eat meat, but he thought he was tired and let him rest.
Antheus was not tired at all. He was going out to catch fish so that Yumi could have a good meal on her last night here.
When Jinwen heard that he was going to catch fish, he also rushed to help. He was a good fisherman! He had finally found the little guy with his skills, so he couldn't let others look down on him!
Now that the tall robot Arlo was here and Yulong would not appear, Ansius left Yumi in the cave, and reminded him to hide in the capsule beforehand.
Yumi and Arlo were waiting for people in the cave. When the sunset appeared, Anxius and Jinwen came back.
They brought fish of all sizes and lots of fresh wild fruits. In addition, Ansius even found some bamboo and made a few simple cups.
[So you couldn't find the bamboo before, right? You're such a scheming freak! ]
[Wow, the little milk pot no longer functions as a cup. I feel so sorry for the little milk pot! ]
Night was about to fall, and the fire in front of the cave was burning brightly.
The four of them sat together, each busy with the grilled fish in front of them, while Yumi stared at the small milk pot in front of her that was cooking fish soup, trying to prevent it from boiling over.
Most of the time, it was Arlo and Yumi who were talking, Jinwen occasionally interrupted a few times, and Ansius was focused on grilling fish. The atmosphere was not very warm, but it was very comfortable.
This time the grilled fish was also topped with sour wild fruits, which tasted very good. Halfway through the meal, Yumi subconsciously raised the bamboo cup and toasted with Ansius.
The monster looked at him and clinked his cup with his. Yumi then toasted with the other two one by one. They were drinking boiled water, so they didn't know what to say. They just smiled foolishly, drank the water and continued to eat the grilled fish.
The charcoal made crackling sounds. The temperature was low at night, and it was warm to eat in front of the fire. There were four of us, not too many, not too few, so it was not too lively, but not too lonely either. It felt like we were camping in a small home.
Even after eating, Yumi was reluctant to leave the fire. He hugged his knees and chatted with Arlo.
All he asked were questions about the other person's feelings before and after they turned into complete human forms. He was curious and longed to be stimulated. He could talk to Arlo about this kind of topic for a whole day.
As they chatted, he quietly touched the ground with his palm, feeling that his body was no different from before.
It was obvious that Yumi's skills were not activated, but he couldn't say he felt regretful or sad. He knew very well that the probability of this happening was very low, and it was lucky for him if he really encountered it.
But even if it won't change, he doesn't regret making this trip at all. He was able to see different scenery and see dinosaurs that had long been extinct in the original world... All in all, it was a very worthwhile trip at public expense!
It's late at night, time to go to bed.
Yumi returned to the capsule and rolled around for a few times, unable to sleep. The people outside also seemed unable to sleep, tossing and turning.
Yumi wanted to chat, but didn't know what to talk about, so she put her head on her hands and hummed a song.
He sang Auld Lang Syne. Before the college entrance examination, he often sang it with his classmates:
"How can I forget my old friends? How can I not miss them in my heart? How can I forget my old friends...Friendship lasts forever..."
"We once...wandered all day long...on the green hills of our hometown...we also once...experienced hardships...and wandered everywhere..."
He was leaving here tomorrow, and he felt that this song was very suitable to sing at this time.
Hearing the singing, the three figures outside the capsule all froze.
Arlo has an extremely fast learning ability. After listening to it once, he immediately learned to sing along with him.
The people of Gosna had never heard that song, but that didn't stop them from thinking it sounded good.
The monster stared at the figure in the capsule, motionless and listening quietly.
Jinwen wanted to speak several times, but was afraid of disturbing the performance of the song, so he forced himself to keep his mouth shut until Yumi finished singing, then he clapped vigorously: "It's so beautiful! Did you write this song yourself?"
"No," Yumi shook her head quickly, "It's... it's a song from my hometown."
The world of the past was indeed his home.
[The sound of nature makes me cry! ]
[Join the learning plan and sing this at the school talent show next day! ]
【Singing God Yumi! Who can compete with him! 】
[Ahhh, how come there is Yumi in every industry? I went to learn cooking from a teacher a few days ago and joined a group of people who like me. The group announcement was about aspiring to become a god of cooking like Teacher Mi. I thought this was a rising star in some industry, but then I searched for this show...]
[Hahaha, yesterday I saw my son asking the cat at home to learn how to work and earn money by following the video, and the cat got so angry that it gave him two claws]
…
As soon as Yumi finished singing the song, the cave became lively. Arlo and Jinwen asked him to continue singing. Ansius didn't say anything and just kept looking at him.
Yumi didn't know many songs, and he was too embarrassed to continue singing. However, singing made his brain active, and he couldn't fall asleep at all. He poked his head out of the capsule and laughed, "You guys can't sleep either? How about... let's play cards all night?"
"There are still cards? What are we waiting for?" Jin Wenju agreed with both hands!
After a while, all four of them got up.
After making a fire, they sat around Yumi's small stone table and played cards, while Yumi used his old partner foam box to place the cards.
When playing cards, you will forget the time and before you know it, it is three o'clock in the morning.
From time to time, laughter could be heard in the cave. At first, there was Yumi's laughter, but it gradually disappeared.
When Arlo was shuffling the cards, Yumi yawned a few times and started pecking at the rice like a chick. After a while, she tilted her head, leaned against Antheus's wings, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
At this time, Jinwen came back from boiling water and squatted down to pour water for Yumi, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Yumi being picked up by the monster and sent to the capsule room inside.
"Falling asleep?" Jin Wen was surprised.
Anxius didn't say anything, just glanced at them twice, then lay down in front of the capsule and closed his eyes to rest.
Arlo put down his playing cards and whispered, "Yumi is asleep, and Arlo is going to sleep too."
Jinwen was still very energetic. He wanted to go to the capsule to take a peek at the little one's sleeping posture. However, before he got close, his view was blocked by the monster. The monster turned around with a stern look.
Jin Wen went back to his place and lay down in disappointment.
It doesn’t matter, he has enough live broadcast recordings from so many days to watch!
The fire was put out and the cave fell into darkness again.
After noticing that the guests had fallen asleep, the camera slowly moved to the beautiful night sky outside the cave.
[Is it going to end tomorrow morning? I’m so reluctant to let it go.]
[This is the first issue. Teacher Mi will accompany us for many more issues! ]
[I hope you can have a good dream, my sweetheart from the Rhea continent]
…
At 7:30 in the morning, the program crew's aircraft appeared not far from the temporary residence of each group.
Yumi was in a deep sleep. He went to bed in the middle of the night and could not wake up naturally in the morning. When he heard the sound of an aircraft, he thought it was the sound of the wind in the Leia continent, so he turned over and continued to sleep.
Ansius woke up after just over an hour of nap. He wanted to pack up Yumi's things in advance. There were many small items that Yumi had picked up, and he wrapped them all in old clothes. These were souvenirs of Yumi.
Not long after, people from the program crew came over here laughing, various machines and human voices mixed together, and Yumi regained consciousness.
He knew that the program crew was coming. Logically, he should get up early and wash up. However, his experiences over the past eighteen years had made him subconsciously think that he could not entertain guests in a bad way. But no matter how anxious he was, he just couldn't get up.
Yumi felt her body was very heavy, just like when she had experienced sleep paralysis before. She was conscious, but she couldn't control her body and felt very uncomfortable.
He murmured something, and soon, a dark shadow appeared above him. He knew it was Ansius.
The claws were shaking him gently, and seemed to be calling his name. Yumi opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the monster's face.
The monster's voice was muffled and he couldn't hear it clearly.
Soon, the other party picked him up and wiped his face with a wet handkerchief.
Yumi tried to stand up despite the discomfort, but as soon as she moved her hands, she lost the strength.
He finally heard Antheus' voice: "Don't move, we'll go see a doctor right away."
Her voice was tense, as if she was frightened by him.
Before entering the cave, Kurt picked up the microphone and said to the camera: "Everyone has experienced a lot of setbacks this time, but fortunately everyone has completed the mission of survival! The cooperation and friendship between different partners are really unforgettable... But His Highness Joseph was injured and just sent to the hospital; Mark seems to have a cold..."
He was about to continue speaking when he saw a black shadow appear in front of the cave!
...It was Louis! He paused, and then he and the staff tried to approach to ask, but before they could get close, they were rudely blown away by the pair of huge wings!
The monster rushed to the aircraft that was transporting the guests away, looking very anxious.
"Yumi? Is that Yumi in his arms?!" The other staff members wanted to go and take a look, but when they took a step forward, they were frightened by the intimidating aura emitted by the monster.
"It's Yumi, Louis is taking care of him..." Kurt stood still in a trance, and found that the camera was still there, so he quickly stabilized his expression, "Everyone, Yumi seems to be sick too, our aircraft will send him to the hospital first... Now let's see how Jinwen and Arlo are..."
At the entrance of the cave, two huge figures who wanted to see Yumi's condition were blocked tightly by the staff.
Ansius had already carried the person into the aircraft, and then he remembered the small items that Yumi had specially found as souvenirs. He ran back to the cave again. When the staff asked if he needed help, he seemed to be oblivious to anyone and packed up the capsules and those small items in one go.
After the aircraft left the Leia continent, it stopped at a nearby open space, where a starship specially arranged by Carl was waiting.
After getting on the starship, Carl immediately asked his personal doctor to come and check on Yumi. He thought Yumi had a cold and fever, or maybe a stomach upset. After all, with the prince watching over her, Yumi would at least not get food poisoning.
However, the doctor looked blank after checking the patient. Finally, he shook his head with a pale face and said, "The temperature is normal and the patient doesn't feel any pain. There is no problem at the moment... We don't have any instruments here. We will check again with instruments when we get to your highness's manor."
Anxius anxiously carried the man to the bed and waited anxiously for the starship to arrive at its destination.
His mind was filled with the scene of Yumi shrinking and almost disappearing that night...
Ansius's eyes trembled, he leaned down deeply and hugged the little man tightly.
An hour later, the starship finally stopped above the open space of the manor.
Karl was so anxious that he was sweating. He rushed to the lounge to remind the prince that he could go down, but before he opened his mouth, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and was speechless.
...Yumi was gone! And in the Crown Prince's arms, there was a little white sheep sleeping with its eyes closed.
Anxius lowered his head, his eyes red: "Mimi?"
The lamb was half asleep and half awake, tapping its hooves and bleating lazily.
