Chapter 88: Teeth Change
Qian Jingyao smiled and said:
"Then sit still and don't move." Then he continued, "After the little rabbit was rescued, he said to the little bear..."
After a while, Xia Yueke lay down on the animal skin bed.
The animal skin bed was soft, and the warmth of the fur wrapped her body.
Her little face was faintly flushed in the firelight.
Qing Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xia Yueke without blinking, his eyes full of love.
He stretched out a finger and gently poked Xia Yueke's exposed little feet. The fleshy touch made him unable to help but poke it again, muttering softly:
"Yue's feet are really fun."
Xia Yueke felt something strange in her feet, frowned slightly, and moved her calves subconsciously, trying to get rid of this strange touch.
Her lips pursed slightly, and she hummed a little dissatisfiedly:
"Qingyan, stop it, it's so itchy."
After she finished speaking, she retracted her feet into the animal skin, trying to avoid Qing Yan's harassment. Xia Yue was not sleepy at first, but Qian Jingyao's gentle voice kept ringing in her ears, as if hypnotizing her.
She still looked a little sleepy and her eyes were not open.
Seeing this, Qian Jingyao patted Qingyan's shoulder lightly, frowned slightly, and had a hint of blame in his eyes:
"Qingyan, don't disturb Keke's rest. She needs a good sleep now."
Qing Yan stuck out his tongue, scratched his head embarrassedly, made a face at Qian Jingyao, then sat down obediently and stopped moving.
But his eyes still looked at Xia Yueke from time to time, hoping that Xia Yueke would have a good nap soon so that he could play with her again!
When Xia Yuke woke up, she smelled the aroma of meat. It turned out that Qian Jingyao had already prepared today's meal.
It was the smoked meat from before.
Xia Yueke came over and drooled over the meat, "Yaoyao, are you done? It smells so good!
Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yueke's greedy look and couldn't help laughing, "Little greedy cat, don't worry, it's all right now."
As he spoke, he handed Xia Yueke a piece of smoked meat that was cut into just the right size and had an attractive color.
The skin of the smoked meat had a slightly burnt yellow luster, and there seemed to be unique traces of smoke remaining between the textures, and strands of meaty aroma continued to emanate from it.
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up instantly, the corners of her mouth raised high, revealing two deep dimples, her face full of uncontrollable excitement.
"Thank you, Yaoyao!"
She couldn't wait to take the meat and stuff it into her mouth. She first felt the slightly crispy skin making a slight "crunch" sound between her teeth, and then the tender, juicy, salty and fragrant taste of the meat spread in her mouth.
Her eyes narrowed unconsciously, her face was intoxicated, and she made satisfied "hmm" sounds from time to time.
Qian Jingyao patted her head gently and said, "Eat slowly and don't choke. No one is competing with you for it."
Xia Yueke said vaguely: "It's so delicious, I can't help it."
Qian Jingyao smiled and said, "If you like it, I will make it for you often in the future."
While eating, Xia Yueke's chubby little face suddenly frowned, just like a little bun being pinched, so cute.
"Ouch!" She spat out a small baby tooth, her cheeks puffed up like a greedy little squirrel, pink and tender.
Tears welled up in those big, watery eyes, rolling around in their sockets. She looked at Qian Jingyao aggrievedly, pouted her little mouth, and said in a baby voice:
"Yaoyao, my tooth fell out."
A hint of panic flashed across Qian Jingyao's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
He hurriedly put down the stone bowl in his hand, walked quickly to Xia Yueke and squatted down.
He gently held Xia Yueke's cheeks with his slender hands, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xia Yueke's eyes with his thumbs. He carefully examined the place where she had lost her teeth, frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of pity.
"Don't be afraid, Coco. It's normal to lose baby teeth."
Qian Jingyao comforted her softly while stroking Xia Yueke's hair with his index finger and tucking her messy hair behind her ears.
Qian Jingyao's long hair, as silver as moonlight, swayed slightly as he stood up. His deep black eyes were full of tenderness. He gently pinched Xia Yueke's little baby tooth and stood up with an upright posture. Every movement was graceful.
He walked steadily out of the cave and threw the baby tooth onto the top of the cave.
After landing, he returned to Xia Yueke, squatted down, and said with a smile:
"Keke, we have a saying here: the higher you throw your baby teeth, the taller you will grow in the future."
Xia Yueke twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered softly:
"It seems this has also been taught to the orcs."
Qian Jingyao didn't hear clearly and looked at her puzzledly, "Xiao Ke, what did you say?"
Xia Yueke quickly waved her hands, "No, nothing, Yaoyao, can I really grow taller in the future?"
Qian Jingyao smiled and nodded, "Of course I will."
Qingyan quietly hid in the shadows, his tall and agile body intertwined with the surrounding darkness, only the smooth and powerful lines of his outline could be vaguely seen, as if he was already a part of the night.
Those narrow eyes were fixed on the scene before them, and the dancing flames in their eyes were burning fiercely in the depths of their eyes, like two balls of mysterious fire.
At the moment he witnessed that scene, the red light in his eyes flashed like a sharp lightning. The red light cut through the darkness, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly because of this brief strong light.
However, no one noticed this scene. Qian Jingyao and Xia Yueke returned to the cave together and had dinner.
Qian Jingyao sat in the middle of a pile of animal skins and started to get busy.
His slender fingers expertly manipulated the hides, the bone needles beside him gleaming in the firelight. He carefully selected the hides, which came in different colors and textures. He gently stroked them, feeling the softness and thickness of the fur, selecting only the best quality.
Then he picked up a smooth stone and rubbed it gently on the back of the animal hide repeatedly to make it softer and smoother.
When Xia Yuke asked, she found out that Qian Jingyao was actually making animal skins!
"Yaoyao, I have a lot of animal hides already, why do I need to make more?"
Qian Jingyao slowly raised his head upon hearing this, and his eyes, as bright as the stars in the night sky, looked at Xia Yueke, his eyes full of starlight:
"Coco is growing fast now, and after the rainy season comes the cold season. I have to prepare the clothes that Coco will need for winter!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued with the work in his hands.
He picked up the bone needle and used the tough vines he had prepared long ago as thread to sew the animal skin stitch by stitch.
He first passed the vine through the small hole of the bone needle, and then aligned the edges of the animal skin. Each needle passed through the animal skin precisely, connecting them tightly together. The stitches were fine and even, so tight that even the wind could hardly penetrate.
