In the evening, Xu Ning heard a rustling sound beside her ears. She opened her eyes and saw a squirrel looking into her eyes.
The squirrel tilted its neck to look at her, and Xu Ning also tilted his neck to look back at the little guy.
"Ah!" Xu Ning picked up the "weapon" that hit her head, which was a pine cone.
"Thank you, little guy!" Xu Ning greeted the little squirrel, and the little guy "clang clang clang" dropped several plump pine cones.
Xu Ning reached out to pick it up and laughed, not knowing whether the little squirrel regarded her as a friend or an enemy.
At this time, only a small part of the sun was left hanging in the sky. After two hours of rest, everyone in the Xu family had recovered. Old Mrs. Xu was still muttering that she was too careless before the lunch break and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
Xu Ning wanted to take out her telescope to observe, but then she remembered that she had stuffed the telescope into the tiger's mouth.
Later, Hunter Li did not ask for the tiger's internal organs, and did not even bring in the tiger's head, so he naturally forgot about the telescope.
"Grandma, I'm so hungry. Let's make some fresh wild vegetable soup tonight. It's too hot, I don't want to eat barbecue."
"I know you're greedy, so your mother picked a lot of purslane when she woke up. I'll crack an egg and make you some soup. Purslane isn't bitter, so eat more."
Old Mrs. Xu took a look at Xu Ning's back in the last light. There was a thin layer of pus on the wound, which had now dried up and formed a scab.
Old Mrs. Xu felt distressed when she saw Xu Ning sleeping on her stomach. She touched her prickly crew cut and said a few words of comfort.
The children of the Xu family also woke up one after another after Xu Ning woke up. On the road of fleeing famine, even the little kids had trouble sleeping and often woke up. This was the deepest sleep they had ever had.
Li the hunter, who woke up first, went out of the gap again and found that the tiger head that he and Xu Da hung on the tree had been eaten a lot. He immediately woke up Xu Da and went out to dig a hole to bury the tiger head. Then he cut some branches and thorny plants and stuffed them into the gap.
The two families planned to stay in the valley for a while. Hunter Li was afraid that someone would discover the secret of the valley or that small wolves would sneak in, so he set up traps at the crevices in the valley.
"Daya, this fell out of a tiger's mouth. Do you think it's still useful?" Hunter Li went out and picked up a piece of telescope glass for Xu Ning.
"Uncle Li, this is useless." The tiger had bitten a crack in the glass lens, making it completely useless, but it still looked pretty good.
"Do you want more?" Li the Hunter asked her.
"Uncle Li, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"
"Hey!" With obvious joy on his face, Li the Hunter took out a tiger's tooth from his arms and gave it to her.
"Daya, this is for you!"
"Wow, it's a tiger tooth!" Xu Ning had forgotten about this thing. It is a symbol of honor!
"Uncle Li, can you help me dig a hole in the middle? I'll string it together with a rope and hang it around my neck as a necklace!"
"That's a good idea. I'll give the other one to Xi'er when the time comes!"
Xu Ning nodded. Kids with tiger tooth necklaces are super cool. "Uncle Li, remember to polish that little brother's tooth."
Xu Ning was worried that the little guy would bite when he grew teeth later, as the surface of tiger teeth was unhygienic. Hunter Li, on the other hand, was concerned that the teeth were sharp and could easily scratch the delicate skin of a child.
"I'll polish it. I'll give Xi'er the necklace when he's older!"
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Li!" Xu Ning smiled with her eyes curved. Li the Hunter rubbed her short hair and went to work.
The sky was beginning to darken, and Xu Ning looked at the last ray of sunset thoughtfully.
"Grandma, help me fry some pine nuts." Xu Ning handed Old Lady Xu a handful of peeled pine nuts. She liked to eat fried pine nuts, which tasted more fragrant!
"Are there any more?" Old Mrs. Xu took it with her hands. This handful of pine nuts was only enough for one crack.
"And I haven't peeled them yet. They were all dropped by the squirrel in the tree."
"Give me milk, and peel it!"
Xu Ning immediately handed the remaining pine cones to Old Lady Xu. Seeing that Xu Ning had handed them all over, Old Lady Xu said, "I'll leave half of these pine nuts for you after they're fried. You're not allowed to eat a single one until all the skin on your wounds has peeled off!"
“Why?!”
"If you're itchy, eat it! Even if it itches you to death!"
"Ah, grandma~ Am I not your little baby?"
Xu Ning quickly acted like a tough girl, and Old Lady Xu dodged her outstretched hand without batting an eyelid. "Forget it, you're the only one like me, I dare not have one!"
"Oh my God, grandma, you can even speak idioms!" It's over, it's over, she spoke too fast, she was exposed, Xu Ning quickly lowered her head, not daring to let Grandma Xu see the guilt in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Xu was indeed surprised for a moment. It was not surprising that she could speak idioms, after all, she had come across them all, but Daya... maybe she had heard of it somewhere.
Xu Ning waited for a long time, and when he looked up he saw that Old Mrs. Xu had already left.
Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately thought of why she was feeling guilty. She wasn't stupid, so why not just say that she had heard of it?
Harmful!
Xu Ning happily followed Old Lady Xu to watch her cook.
The night was very quiet. The treasure chest promised to give Xu Ning an anti-inflammatory pill. Before going to bed, Xu Ning deliberately coaxed Old Lady Xu to put her share of fried pine nuts into the box, and swallowed the anti-inflammatory pill under the pretense of eating secretly.
Xu Ning didn't dare to get up to drink water, for fear of being discovered by the Ninja Turtle in the dark, so he had to swallow his saliva.
At the same time, Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh at herself. She might be the most useless one among the time travelers. She even had to take medicine secretly.
There was clearly plenty of food, but he didn't dare show any of it.
