Chapter 42
Chapter 42
After more than two months of hard work, the house was finally built. Unfortunately, just a few days after it was built, dog days came.
Even if there is no timer, Xu Fei still knows when he will start to fall into ambush.
Xu Fei thought that no matter how hot the summer was, it was only a matter of being shirtless. It was cool in the cave, so he lifted the animal skin off the sleeping stone bed, and he could survive the summer.
But when Fu Tian really came, Xu Fei realized that all his imagination was just a beautiful idea.
Xu Fei's impression of summer is that it is hot and noisy, but now he deeply realizes that the hottest summer is silent.
He sat shirtless on the stone bed, staring at the evaporating heat outside the cave. If he poured a glass of water and put it on the stone outside, he would probably hear a "beep", and the water would definitely be evaporated immediately. clean.
At noon, no bird could be seen outside, and no sound could be heard. If Nagu hadn't sat next to him with his upper body shirtless, Xu Fei would really feel like he was the only one left in the world.
Even if I just sit still like this, the beads of sweat will keep rolling out, and I can't stop going forward.Xu Fei dug a large bowl of water from the wooden barrel, and gulped it down a few gulps to replenish the water that flowed out.
Sitting next to him, Nagu was also sweating profusely, holding a banana leaf in his hand, fanning the wind mechanically with his arm, but the weather was too hot, and all the fan came out was fire wind.
"Stop fanning, come and drink some water." Xu Fei didn't want to talk unless necessary.
Nagu poured two cans of water and shook the sweat off his head.In such bad weather, people can only go out for activities at night, and even the animals hide during the day to escape the heat.
Fortunately, this kind of weather only lasted for a month, and now it has passed more than half a month.After more than ten days of suffering, this hottest period can be passed.
Since falling into ambush, Xu Fei has never seen Bai come out to jump around, probably hiding at home to escape the heat.
He looked at the jars of pickled peppers and ginger. He had a poor appetite recently, and he didn't eat much pepper, but he ate half of the jars of ginger.Now day by day, I look forward to arriving in the evening and taking a bath in the river.
"Is it normal for such a hot day?" Xu Fei asked Nagu weakly.He has been sitting here all morning, and he is too lazy to move. When he moves, he feels sweat dripping down his body like rain.If it continues to be so hot, it will not be far from collapse.
"Well, it's been so hot all the time." Nagu nodded, he didn't want his wife to be so uncomfortable!If there was a way, he would have said it.
Alas, I don't know who sighed.
The sun, who worked diligently all day, finally went down at sunset.Gradually, one or two birdsongs could be heard, the leaves began to shake slightly, and the wind was coming.
Xu Fei grabbed the big man who was about to go out barefoot, and threw a pair of straw sandals in front of him.The ground is so hot that you can make pancakes, and it doesn't hurt to hit your bare feet.
Not doing anything else when going out, Xu Fei and Nagu first went to inspect the new house.Once inside, it felt like entering a sauna room. The heat in the room was still trapped inside, and Xu Fei was sweating profusely when he came out.
"Let's go to the river." Nagu saw that his daughter-in-law's chest was flushed with heat, and it was getting dark soon, so it was time to take a cold bath by the river to cool off.
Xu Fei also nodded in agreement.
The two walked along the path. Although it was still hot outside, it was much better than when they couldn't go out during the day.
After taking a bath by the river, he went back to the cave to eat something casually, and when it was dark and the heat on the ground dropped a little, Xu Fei watered all the poor vegetables that were about to burnt in the ground.
Nagu also refilled the two large wooden barrels for the next day.
The only time that can be really used in the day is the time at night, busy, burning, washing and washing, and this is over again.
Dog days, dog days, fall to the sky.Xu Fei thought it was a miracle that he didn't suffer from heatstroke during the dog days.
It's just that it's so hot that day, not only the animals are hungry and thin, but even the big man who has always been given what to eat and is particularly easy to raise has lost a lot of weight.
But Nagu didn't feel what was going on with him, he just got worried when he saw Xu Fei eating only ginger fruits and refusing to eat meat.Lying there all day, lethargic and listless, just looking at it made him anxious.
After dinner and watering the ground that day, Nagu saw Xu Fei lying there again, his eyes glazed over.He walked over and touched Xu Fei's arm: "Go night hunting today, will you go?"
"Night hunting?" Xu Fei listened to a new word in a daze, and finally lifted his spirits.
"Yeah." Night hunting mainly occurs in dog days, and dog days, that is, night hunting.Basically every tribe will use the night time to hunt during the dog days.Not everyone is as well fed as they are, and they don't worry about eating and drinking.
During the nights they rested, there must have been a lot of night hunting outside.
After listening to Nagu's explanation, Xu Fei became a little interested.But it's useless to think that going out at night is equivalent to being blind.
"I can't see at night." This is not hunting, but being hunted.
"It's okay, we brought the torches, and we don't really want to hunt anything." Their family had enough food, and this time they went out because the big man wanted to let Xu Fei move around.
Now that the big man has thought about everything, Xu Fei also thinks that his body is stiff lying in the cave, so going out for a walk is not bad.
"Then go." He got up and stretched his hands and feet, and took out a small bow that he had nothing to do. He was full of arrogance to do something, and he might catch something by accident. Woolen cloth!
Seeing his daughter-in-law like that, it's hard for Nagu to tell the truth.This time it's just the two of them going out, he will definitely not take him to a dangerous hunting area, it's really just to see the scenery.
"Let's go!" Seeing that Nagu was still standing there, Xu Fei couldn't help urging: "Remember to bring your weapon, maybe you can hunt a big guy tonight."
Well, my wife wants to hunt a big guy, and the big man secretly wants to catch some injured prey while his wife is not paying attention, so that he can hunt it.
In order to make Xu Fei feel fresh, Nagu deliberately chose a different path from usual to take Xu Fei around.Xu Fei looked at the bright moon in the sky, it will definitely be sunny again tomorrow, so the torch is not necessary.
Hunting at night is a dangerous thing. Those who really hunt do not carry torches, which is tantamount to driving away wild animals.Nagu didn't really come to hunt, so naturally he didn't care about it.
only……
"Turn out the torch, it's so hot." Xu Fei wiped the sweat off his neck, it was already hot enough, carrying a torch is like holding a stove.
"Oh." You don't dare to disobey the order of your daughter-in-law, so you can rest in peace with the torch.Nagu stuck the torch into the ground, and the fire was brutally extinguished.
The moonlight shone brightly on the entire forest, and there would be small movements among the bushes from time to time, but it was always calm when Xu Fei turned his head.Nagu still followed Xu Fei firmly like a loyal bodyguard.
To be honest, if Xu Fei is alone now, with only a broken arrow in his hand, he will definitely not come out alone.But now that Nagu is by his side, even if he is unarmed, he will not be able to bear the boredom and come out for a walk.
The road is getting narrower and narrower. Once Xu Fei accidentally touched a branch, which startled a bunch of noctilucent insects like butterflies. They were glowing with silver light. When it rises up, a large piece will fall from the body, and silver-colored worms will fall from it. It looks like moonlight pouring down, making people unable to move their eyes away.
Xu Fei was a little dumbfounded, and felt that the flowing luminous insects were more beautiful than moonlight flowers.
Nagu covered Xu Fei's eyes from behind: "Don't look at it for too long, it is said that noctilucent insects can take away people's souls."
Nagu's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up something, and his hot breath rushed to Xu Fei's ear, making him shrink his neck uncontrollably.
Xu Fei felt it was weird, so he took his big hand away and put it aside. When he opened his eyes again, the noctilucent insects were integrated with the moonlight, and he didn't know where they flew.
Nagu looked at Xu Fei's movements, and his heart started to itch again. He always felt that Xu Fei at night was very cute, with all the emotions on his face, it was interesting to watch.
He couldn't help but kissed Xu Fei's ear, and sure enough, he found that his daughter-in-law's entire earlobe was burning a little, the red one was really pretty.
Xu Fei dodged Nagu's second attack awkwardly, "Are you going to leave or not?"
This time Nagu also knew that Xu Fei was just awkward, not angry.He felt that if he kissed again, he would be beaten at most, so he decisively entangled her again.
"I want to kiss you." After finishing speaking, he blocked Xu Fei's mouth that still wanted to speak.
Really without any precautions, Xu Fei's face began to resemble his ears.I'm not shy, I just feel that kissing in the wild is a bit strange, and every time I kiss, Nagu has to notify me, is it like this for other people to kiss?
Nagu always felt that Xu Fei's taste was very good, no matter how much he kissed him, he couldn't kiss enough, and he was reluctant to part with his mouth stuck on it, he had to push Xu Fei to let him go.Kissing seems to be an instinct, if you are not proficient the first time, you will be able to kiss Xu Fei out of breath the second time.
"Hey, hurry up!" A voice came from not far away, "Are you still male? You walk slower than me!"
After the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughing and begging for mercy.
Xu Fei heard the voice sound familiar, and hastily pushed Nagu away.He always felt that this kind of thing was very private and shouldn't be done in front of others.
Although Nagu was dissatisfied with the premature end, but thought that he could continue after the person left, and let go of his emotions.
Who knew that things would fail to fulfill his wish, and that group of people was heading towards this direction.
Nagu was about to take Xu Fei to change the way, but was taken away by an arrow that shot over him.
He dared to shoot an arrow in front of Xu Fei, and he shot better than him, Nagu was going to teach this ignorant person a lesson.
The people over there thought they had shot a prey, so they also ran towards this side. When the two sides met, Xu Fei found out that it was the people from the Dahe Tribe, and it was Watu who was more skilled than the average male at the beginning of the conversation. .
"Why are you here?" The one who spoke first was Babu who came out for night hunting for the first time. He jumped out from behind Watu excitedly, with unconcealable joy in his eyes.
Xu Fei saw that Bob was darker and thinner than before, but his only pair of eyes were still bright and clear.They haven't seen each other for more than two months, and he didn't expect him to recognize him at a glance.
Of course Nagu also recognized that they were from the Great River Tribe. "This is near my house, why did you run here?"
This place belongs to the rainforest, not close to the Great River Tribe.As far as night hunting is concerned, the scope of this hunting is too wide.Moreover, most of the area here belongs to the Heli tribe. They come here to hunt at night, and it is not easy to solve if they are discovered.
"Hey, don't mention it." Babu sighed, "At first we thought that if we killed the python, the food would come back by itself, but we didn't know that there were still no prey after more than two months. This happened to Futian again. There was really no way to get out."
"Just a few of you?" It wasn't that Nagu underestimated them, he was familiar with this area, and he was assured of his force value. This time, it's just these boys and two females, so it's not his fault for asking too much.
"We left separately, and the rest of the tribe also came out." Babu said anxiously, "By the way, thank you for your solution. My brother's males can really hunt like before."
Kaya only fully recovered half a month ago. She used to be very careful and didn't hurt her feet. Now she can jump and run, which makes his brother very happy.
"It's okay." Xu Fei shook his head, he didn't care, just helped him fix the wound, it's not a big deal.
"Hey, you are still empty-handed!" The boys behind saw that Nagu was still empty-handed and hadn't hit anything, so they couldn't help shaking their prey triumphantly.
Nagu turned his head in disdain, too lazy to compare with them.
Watu's forehead twitched, and the skinny long-eared beast had the nerve to show it off. It's really promising!
"We are going to continue the night hunting, are you together?" Watu asked Nagu and the others.
Xu Fei shook his head, he should go back after being out for such a long time, it would really get in the way if he was with them.
Seeing that Xu Fei didn't want to be with them, Nagu felt very relieved, so he casually reminded them not to go south, as that was their tribe's territory, and it would be troublesome if they were bumped into.
Watu nodded in appreciation.
Babu was still a little bit reluctant, and yelled that Xu Fei must come to their house as a guest next time, because his brother's baby was about to be born.
This made Xu Fei think of Lei Ku's belly again. His moon looks bigger than Ba Duo's, and he should give birth now, but he doesn't know whether it is a female or a male.
There was no sign of Lu Li among the group of boys, so he asked Babu curiously, "Has the child of Patriarch Sa's family been born?"
Babu seemed to be thinking of something funny, his eyes rolled into a smile, "It's born! It's a little male, Lu Li was beaten up by the patriarch, saying that he often touches Leiku's belly, scaring the little female away. "
Thinking of Lu Li's miserable situation, not only was he beaten, he was also not allowed to go hunting at night, and now he is probably at home raising a child, they all laughed hard.
Having said that, I have laughed enough, now is the time when every inch of time is precious, and the two couples separated again.
Nagu and Xu Fei were heading home, while Babu and the others were heading deeper into the rainforest, where it was said that there would be more prey.
Hope it will pay off.
