"There are more fragrant ones."
Bai Yingying took the peeled egg from his hand and gently broke it in half, revealing the golden yolk. The tempting aroma became even stronger.
Bai Yingying handed him the other half and said, "Eat it. It's nutritious and delicious."
"Yeah." Lin Xia nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
After the two of them finished eating the two eggs, Lin Xia felt a little regretful.
He licked his lips and said regretfully, "There are five eggs in the nest. If I had known, I would have taken them all."
Actually, he wanted to take it, but unfortunately he could only take 2...
"no."
Bai Yingying shook her head and said jokingly, "If you take them all, the mother bird will go crazy looking for them. Leave a few so she can look after the other eggs and won't come looking for you, the egg thief."
Lin Xia smiled and nodded, "Yingying is right, I had forgotten about it."
After a delicious lunch, the two decided to set off and continue looking for a suitable cave to live in.
Bai Yingying reminded him, "Axia, put all the dirt into the fire pit and put out the fire. Remember to cover it tightly~"
In the forest, fire is dangerous and can easily cause a fire.
When making a fire, be sure to isolate flammable materials, and extinguish all sparks when leaving.
If a fire breaks out, they and all living things in the forest will die.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Lin Xia also understood that when they were in the tribe, families with fire would be warned repeatedly.
Bai Yingying returned to the cave and dragged out an animal skin bag.
She planned to let Lin Xia carry one on her back, which would make it easier and they could walk faster.
While I'm looking for a cave, if I don't have time to come back and get the package, I won't be left without bedding to sleep on.
The two packed up everything and continued on their journey.
A good shelter should not only be of the right size, but also in the right location.
For example, is the cave located in an area frequented by wild animals? Will it be flooded by rain? Is it located in a windy area? Is it too humid for reptiles to frequent? Is it located in an area prone to landslides? Is it in the path of a flash flood? Is the cave entrance well-hidden?
etc..
There are too many factors to consider if you want to live here permanently.
They didn't dare to go too far away from the tribe, and walked around for two or three hours, but couldn't find a natural cave that satisfied them.
Bai Yingying's body often doesn't exercise, and is now exhausted and out of breath.
She leaned against a tree and rested for a while, finally catching her breath. She said to Lin Xia, "We can't go too far from the tribe. If it really doesn't work out, we'll just find a place to stay nearby."
"Yeah. I think so too." Lin Xia agreed.
Nothing is more important than safety.
Anyway, their animal forms are not big, so as long as I can sleep in them, it's fine.
The two of them tacitly relaxed the conditions and would investigate any suspected caves they saw.
Not long after, they found a very suitable cave.
It is on a rock slope, right at a corner, and is surrounded by plants, making it relatively hidden.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, only allowing one person to pass through.
But the cave is not small, about 30 square meters, and the highest point of the top is three meters.
The most important thing is that the cave is relatively dry and there are no signs of other small animals living there recently.
Apart from the inconvenience of getting in and out, it's a perfect place to live.
"That's it." Bai Yingying immediately made the decision.
Lin Xia smiled brightly: "Okay. Right here."
They have a home now.
Bai Yingying carefully looked at the environment inside the cave and said, "Let's smoke it out first."
"Okay. I'll go find some mosquito repellent herbs right away." Lin Xia agreed immediately.
The two of them got busy.
Bai Yingying was picking up dry firewood near her 'home', while Lin Xia was picking insect repellent herbs nearby.
It only took half an hour to prepare.
Not long after thick smoke began to emerge from the cave, the small insects that had been hiding in the corners also ran out.
When the smoke had almost dissipated, Lin Xia took the bundled branches and used them as a broom to clean up the dust and debris on the ground.
He walked to the cave entrance and then remembered to turn around and tell her, "Yingying, I need to sweep the floor. It's very dusty inside. You wait for me outside. Call me if you need anything. Be good and don't run around."
He felt that the little female he had been taking care of was too hardworking and always did the work herself, which made him very worried.
Bai Yingying smiled and waved at him: "Go ahead. I'll be waiting at the door."
After Lin Xia went in, she obediently did not run around, but began to carefully observe the environment in front of her house, thinking about whether there was any place that needed to be renovated in the future.
After all, we'll be staying here for a month, which is not long, but not short either.
Bai Yingying didn't think about it for long before she heard a shout from behind her.
Lin Xia poked her head out of the cave and said, "Yingying, come in and see if you are satisfied!"
"Here I come."
Bai Yingying turned around and walked into the cave.
As soon as she came in, she could smell a special smell, which was a bit like mugwort, but also like a bitter medicinal smell.
It was the remaining smell from the fumigation of herbs just now. Generally speaking, it was not pungent and Bai Yingying could accept it.
To her delight, the cave looked brand new.
Lin Xia is really a very careful male orc. He not only cleaned the ground, but also cleaned up the spider webs on the top of the cave.
Lin Xia was holding a piece of animal skin and spreading it on a relatively flat surface. "Yingying, are you tired? Lie down here for a while. I'll finish spreading the powder and we'll be done."
In the tribe, every family can receive a certain amount of medicine powder every half a month, which is sprinkled in the cave to repel insects and prevent pests, and the effect is quite good.
The Bai family had a lot of medicine powder left, so they took it all with them this time.
