Chapter 28 Are you in love with her?
"If you don't want to eat, then why did you make a special trip..."
Zhu Yan's puzzled words came to an abrupt end after he realized something.
He remembered that the fruit tasted very sweet. Males usually did not like to eat such sweet fruits, but it was quite popular among females.
Zhu Yan reacted instantly, "Did you pick it for Wen Li?"
He looked at Xin Yuan with eyes full of surprise.
Xin Yuan nodded calmly, "Yes."
"You..." Zhu Yan hesitated, "Why? Could it be that you've fallen in love with her?"
That giant snake is quite formidable.
Although Zhu Yan had never encountered it head-on, he had heard a lot of rumors about it.
Many males from the surrounding tribes wanted to pick fruits for their wives to please them, but they ended up being killed by giant snakes.
Such things are not uncommon.
Delicious fruits are not easy to pick.
Zhu Yan knew Xin Yuan's strength very well. It was rare to see him being tossed around so badly, which also showed how powerful the giant snake was.
Is it necessary for him to take this risk for Wen Li?
If Xin Yuan wanted to eat it himself, Zhu Yan could understand it, after all, Xin Yuan's only hobby was food.
It was the first time he had seen him go to such lengths for a female.
Thinking of the intimacy between Xin Yuan and Wen Li these days, as well as the changes in Xin Yuan, the idea of "liking" took shape in Zhu Yan's mind.
"……like?"
Xin Yuan didn't understand what Zhu Yan meant by "like" and scratched his cheek in confusion.
After thinking carefully for a moment, he gave an answer: "I don't know either."
Xin Yuan was not sure whether he liked Wen Li. The feeling of "liking" was too unfamiliar to him and he had never experienced it before.
Zhu Yan held his forehead helplessly.
However, the only thing that is certain is that Xin Yuan wants to thank Wen Li.
Xin Yuan said seriously, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to thank her. After all, she's been cooking for the past few days, and she even bled me to cure the curse. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Xin Yuan has always noticed how good Wen Li is to him.
Thanks to Wen Li who was in charge of cooking, his meals had improved a lot in the past few days. He felt full and the food was delicious, which made him more energetic in hunting.
As for bloodletting, it goes without saying that Wen Li essentially saved his life.
"I don't know how to thank her." Xin Yuan muttered softly, "The only thing I can think of is to let her taste this."
He held up the brightly colored, plump fruit in his hand.
It is said that females like this, I hope she will like it too.
Zhu Yan thought about it and it made sense.
After observing for the past few days, he found that Wen Li did not do anything wrong.
Not only did he cooperate with Xin Yuan in bleeding every day to treat the curse, he also thought of ways to make many delicious foods for them.
Zhu Yan suddenly felt embarrassed.
He has eaten a lot of food cooked by Wen Li these days, but has never thought about thanking Wen Li.
Logically, they should be the ones cooking for Wen Li, but now the situation is reversed.
Xin Yuan's sudden "sensible" behavior made him seem very immature.
Zhu Yan felt a little uncomfortable.
I thought, should he also do something...?
"Brother, let's go back." Xin Yuan had already done what he wanted to do, and now they could carry the prey directly home.
"Oh, okay." Zhu Yan responded and carried the prey he had obtained today.
The two of them gradually walked out into the depths of the mountains, and they still had some distance to go before they could return to the tribe.
At a fork in the road, Xin Yuan stopped again.
"What's wrong again?" Zhu Yan asked.
Xin Yuan said, "I remember there seems to be insect repellent grass here."
"It's over here. Do you want to pick some to take back?" Zhu Yan pointed to the road on the east side.
"It's a good time to pick some to take back." Xin Yuan said.
Zhu Yan glanced at him and asked, "Is this prepared for her again?"
Before leaving in the morning, Zhu Yan did not miss the big red and swollen bump on Wen Li's arm.
Now that Xin Yuan said he wanted to pick herbs, Zhu Yan finally realized what was happening.
In this regard, he is not as meticulous as Xin Yuan.
More importantly, he didn't care about Wen Li.
At least Xin Yuan doesn't care.
"Well, the insect repellent grass in her cave should have lost its effectiveness. Brother, the one in your cave is almost the same. Pick more this time and take them back." Xin Yuan said.
"Oh." Zhu Yan felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart again.
Pick them, pick them.
The two continued walking along the path on the east side, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up and a huge lake appeared.
Xin Yuan noticed the blue flowers growing by the lake at a glance.
This is the water chestnut tree. Its leaves have the effect of repelling insects, and people simply call its leaves insect repellent grass.
Xin Yuan threw the dead prey in his hand to the ground and walked towards Linghua.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan also put down the prey in his hand.
Xin Yuan has already started collecting insect repellent herbs, and Zhu Yan has followed him.
However, Zhu Yan did not collect too many, only a small cluster.
"There's no need to pick so much. It can only last for a month." Zhu Yan reminded.
The insect repellent effect of insect repellent grass can only last for one month at most. After one month, they will still come to pick it.
Xin Yuan said: "It's okay, you and Brother Yanci can use it, and Brother Chen and the others will be back soon."
"Yeah." Zhu Yan didn't try to persuade him anymore. He stood up, glanced somewhere, and said to Xin Yuan, "I'll go take a look around."
"good."
Xin Yuan didn't ask him what he was doing and continued to pick the insect repellent grass in front of him.
Soon, a small crowd gathered around him.
The lake in front of us is surrounded by rocks, and some unknown leaves and flowers grow on the rock walls.
Zhu Yan walked straight to the edge of the mountain and climbed up nimbly.
He picked some white flowers from the rock wall and put them in his animal skin bag.
I roughly counted the number and felt that it was enough, so I walked back.
When he arrived at the place where the water lilies grew, Xin Yuan had already collected enough insect repellent herbs.
"Brother, I'm fine now." Xin Yuan grabbed the insect repellent grass on the ground.
Zhu Yan said, "I'm fine too."
They stuffed all the collected insect repellent herbs into the backpack they had brought with them, and continued to move forward carrying their prey.
"Let's go to the river and clean up these things before going back." Zhu Yan said.
Xin Yuan nodded, "Okay."
By the river, Wen Li and the other two were catching fish.
I don’t know how Meng Yu found such a good place. There are quite a lot of fish, fat and big, but they are very sensitive. It is not easy to catch one.
With Wen Li's unremitting efforts, she caught several and put them on the shore.
"No, no, I'm tired." Meng Yu was so tired after catching a fish that he was out of breath, with his hands on his hips and his forehead in his hands.
Zhao Yi looked at his wife with concern, "If you're tired, go to the shore and rest for a while. Leave it to me."
He stopped what he was doing, helped Meng Yu to sit down on the shore, and even found a flat and comfortable stone for Meng Yu to sit on.
Wen Li was caught off guard and ate a big mouthful of dog food.
