The boy's exposed skin seemed to be congested, and looked a little scary.
Bai Yingying's heart tightened, "What? Is he poisoned?"
"No, no..." Lin Xia waved her hands quickly. He stammered, "Yingying... don't touch my ears like that next time..."
Bai Yingying reacted immediately and found it a little funny. So the rabbit beastmen's ears were so sensitive?
Lin Xia bent down to pick up the animal skin bag on the ground, and silently put it on his back, not daring to look at Bai Yingying the whole time.
The two continued on their journey, but until evening, they had not found a cave that they were particularly satisfied with.
It’s getting late.
Lin Xia found a place sheltered from the wind and started digging a hole at the foot of a slope.
During this period, Bai Yingying was not idle either. Following Lin Xia's instructions, she picked some leaves that could repel insects.
She also spontaneously picked a lot of branches, which she would use to cover the hole later.
Lin Xia dug a small hole and used branches and sticks to support a small shack, which he covered with insect-proof leaves on the top, bottom, left and right sides. The empty space in the middle was just enough to fit the backpack in.
Then he used the soil he dug out to seal most of the entrance, and then used the branches Bai Yingying had found to camouflage the entrance.
In the wild, wild animals often appear at night, so the residence must be hidden enough.
"Yingying, are you hungry? After you finish eating and go to the bathroom, we can go in and rest."
Lin Xia gave half of the dried meat and fruits she had taken out in advance to Bai Yingying.
Bai Yingying took the food and said, "Yes. We can sleep in the pile of animal skins, so we won't be afraid of the cold at night."
Such a small earth hole can only accommodate the body of an animal.
Fortunately, they are all small rabbits, otherwise it would be really difficult to dig a hole that can accommodate two people to sleep...
The jerky tasted hard and woody, and had a light saltiness.
But for Bai Yingying and Lin Xia, this is the best food.
If you soak the dried meat and then cook it in hot water, it will definitely taste better and be more hygienic.
But Bai Yingying wouldn't make a fire at night.
Wild animals are active at night, and the light and smoke will attract wild animals, which is very dangerous.
Lin Xia glanced at the rough cave and felt a little ashamed. "Yingying, once we find a permanent cave, we won't have to suffer so much."
When orcs go out hunting, sometimes they cannot come back at night, so they need to build a temporary safe shelter by themselves. This is one of the skills that male orcs must learn.
He spent most of his time learning to hunt and only practiced building a trap very rarely.
Hearing this, Bai Yingying shifted her position and sat next to him, saying softly, "It's already very good. Thank you for your hard work, Axia."
She really didn't expect that Lin Xia would leave the tribe with her so easily.
If it was her...
Until I am strong enough, I will not leave my safe and comfortable shelter for anyone.
Bai Yingying thought about the system she had obtained and was looking forward to the reward of giving birth to a cub.
She gently stroked her lower abdomen.
Taking Shengzidan is 100% guaranteed to lead to conception.
Is there already a little life being nurtured here? It's amazing...
Lin Xia looked around with a vague look in his eyes, thinking in his heart: I must successfully hunt tomorrow and let Yingying eat fresh meat to replenish her body.
The two people who seemed to have their own thoughts were actually very vigilant.
After noticing that the air had become humid, they all quickened their chewing movements.
It is still early spring and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
A thin mist gradually rose in the forest and the air became humid, which indicated that night was approaching.
The beasts and insects that hide during the day and come out at night are about to come out to look for food...
As the fog descended, the temperature seemed to drop sharply. Both of them felt a little cold, so they quickly took care of their urgent needs and then crawled into the cave.
Bai Yingying and Lin Xia lay in the animal skin backpack, stepping on the soft and warm fur, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Two skinny rabbits, one gray and one white, snuggled up to each other and curled up in the animal skin.
They were about to spend their first night in the wild.
Lin Xia was very nervous. This was his first time spending the night alone, and he had to protect a fragile female...
This made him very uneasy.
Bai Yingying was extremely calm. She often wandered during the end of the world.
This kind of earth hole is certainly not my first time sleeping, the difference is that I have become a rabbit, and it seems to feel pretty good...
The two looked at each other and said nothing tacitly.
Over time.
There are not only the sounds of birds and insects, but also the cries of wild animals.
Bai Yingying clearly felt that Lin Xia's body was tense, but she did not try to comfort her. She just closed her eyes and began to sleep lightly.
Even though they were hiding in a cave at the moment, their vision was very poor.
But you can also vaguely see what's happening outside through the hole and the gaps between the leaves.
If conditions permit in the wild, it is best to have someone on guard at night to ensure that when danger comes, we can respond immediately.
Since Lin Xia is too nervous to sleep, she can stay by his side for the first half of the night and she will stay by his side for the second half.
Lin Xia felt Bai Yingying's relaxed state, and she also relaxed slowly unconsciously. She just listened carefully to the sounds nearby and kept a close eye on the situation outside the cave.
In the early hours of the morning, Bai Yingying opened her eyes and motioned him to go to sleep. He was only surprised for a moment, then accepted it obediently.
No matter how dumb Lin Xia was, she now understood that Bai Yingying was not the delicate little female she usually looked.
But he just thought that Mr. Bai had privately taught his daughter a lot of skills that females didn't need to learn so that she could have a good life in the future, and he didn't suspect anything else.
They were also lucky.
During the night, no accidents occurred except for some small wild animals passing by.
Waited peacefully for dawn.
The two men crawled out of the hole one after the other and turned into human forms.
Lin Xia's face was filled with joy. "Yingying, after we finish eating, you can catch up on your sleep in the cave while I go out hunting."
"Okay." Bai Yingying covered her mouth and yawned. She was indeed sleepy, so she didn't refuse.
But he still warned: "Be careful, run away if you can't win, don't try to be tough."
Lin Xia raised her hand and touched the top of Bai Yingying's head. "Don't worry. Don't go out easily. It's not safe even during the day."
They didn't eat any dried meat in the morning, and each of them ate a few fruits to fill their stomachs.
Before new prey is caught, meat is precious.
Lin Xia watched Bai Yingying crawl into the hole before leaving.
He was full of energy and vowed to catch some prey.
Unfortunately, reality is very bleak.
It was quite difficult for him, a novice with little talent, to hunt alone.
By noon, I had gained nothing and was starving.
He had no choice but to risk climbing up the tree and steal two bird eggs.
When Lin Xia arrived home, Bai Yingying had already lit a bonfire not far from the cave.
She dug a large pit, cleared away all the flammable materials around it, and lit the dry velvet grass by striking stones to make fire.
Bai Yingying has a dagger, so it is naturally much easier than making fire by rubbing two sticks together.
