Na Yan suddenly said: "Curiosity killed the cat." Then he turned to ask Gu Chenglan: "What do you think will happen if I climb up there?"
"You can try." Gu Chenglan chuckled: "I will beat you to death first."
"Then you dried it and threw it in the mezzanine?" Na Yan said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Chenglan's face darkened, she glared at him fiercely, and stopped talking.
Suno thought there was something wrong with Na Yan's words, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
There is finally no need to sleep outside tonight, and there is no need to keep vigil. The three of them can sleep peacefully.
It's just that the blanket on the ground here exudes a strange smell, and Suno can't sleep at all while lying on the blanket.
Finally I had to take off the blanket and put it aside, lying directly on the floor.
"It smells like cow dung." Na Yan laughed twice after saying, "People here smear cow dung on everything they can, even on their hair."
"Go to sleep." Gu Chenglan stretched out his leg and kicked Na Yan, then turned to look at Sunuo worriedly.
Su Nuo was not as disgusted as Gu Chenglan thought. She smiled despite the discomfort in her heart: "I can understand this strange custom. It's okay, just go to sleep."
The sound of rain continued until late at night. Suno tried his best to get rid of the smell in his breath, but he slept comfortably.
The weather was good the next morning, and the fresh air in the jungle even diluted the smell of cow dung.
After Su Nuo woke up, he finally had water to wash his face. He put his hand into the water that was not too cool but definitely clear, and let out a long and comfortable breath.
"It's a pity that you can't take a bath here." Na Yan sat on the window sill and looked outside and said, "Both streams and rivers are dangerous. There are all kinds of parasites, blood-sucking leeches, and even piranhas and crocodiles."
"If you don't scare me, will I lose a bowl of rice?" Su Nuo picked up a handful of water and threw it at Na Yan.
Na Yan laughed "haha" twice and said, "What I said is true. I heard before that someone peeed in the water and was eaten by a parasitic catfish."
After saying that, Na Yan winked and added: "Male."
Sunuo was stunned for a moment before she figured out what Yan was talking about, and immediately poured another handful of water over.
There are not many people in this village, only about 20 households and less than 100 people.
The chief alone has four wives and nine children. And his youngest wife is said to be only twelve years old, and she was married last year.
The person who delivered fruit to Suno and the others yesterday was the chief's eldest wife. She has given birth to four children and this is her fifth pregnancy.
Moreover, this eldest wife was so confused that she didn’t even know how long she was pregnant. She was still working non-stop, even helping with heavy tasks such as fetching water.
Although she was really diligent, Su Nuo was frightened when she saw her. She was really afraid that this strong and ignorant woman would give birth to a child without knowing when.
Gu Chenglan came back with a small jar and saw Sunuo lying on another window sill next to Nayan looking at the woman working, so he came over and kissed her on the cheek: "Aboriginal women are like this. But I I won’t let my wife work.”
"What does it have to do with me?" Su Nuo smiled, pinched the tip of Gu Chenglan's nose, and asked him: "What are you holding?"
"Poison." Gu Chenglan handed the jar to Suno and immediately took it back, saying, "The indigenous people extracted it from plants and can put it on arrowheads."
