In the next few days, Xi Ya always spends a lot of time patrolling the sea, but the situation is still not optimistic, not to mention the mermaid, even the scales of the mermaid have not been seen, the sea is vast, and the mermaid lives on the bottom of the sea. Clans, so unless they show up themselves, no one will ever be able to find them.
Lei Jin sat on the rocks by the shore every day and waited for Xiya to come back. Although he didn't see any beasts by the sea, Xiya was worried that Lei Jin would go far away.
It's almost noon, the sun is scorching, and at the beach, especially, the sea is so shimmering that people can't open their eyes. Lei Jin feels a little sticky in the palm of his hand. These are the last pieces of dried fruit left by Mo Ya. He didn't know what mood Mo Ya had in washing those little fruits one by one and drying them out. Just thinking about it now, it felt like a stone was blocked in his heart, it didn't hurt, but he was panting heavily, with a shadow covering his head, Lei Jin knew that it was Xi Ya who had returned.
"I still haven't found anything. I expanded the scope of my search this morning." Xi Ya shook her head under Lei Jin's expectant gaze.
"Let's go back to eat." Lei Jin knew that Xi Ya had done her best. After being exposed to the sun all morning at sea, Xi Ya's face turned red, and she didn't know if she was sunburned.
Xi Ya has cleaned up the cave again, and it is much neater and cleaner now. They blocked a big tree branch at the entrance of the cave to prevent other animals from breaking in.
But today when they went back, they found that the tree branch at the entrance of the cave had been moved. Although it was not obvious, the orc's innate intuition and Lei Jin's vigilance made them sure that someone had entered, and there was still a strong smell of smoke wafting out , The two looked at each other, and moved quietly towards the entrance of the cave with light steps, but there was no movement inside.
Xi Ya took Lei Jin behind him with one hand and kicked the branches away. They were speechless when they entered. There was no one inside, but everything was thrown everywhere, and even the firewood on the ground was set on fire. Yes, and then it seemed that water was splashed again, and the ground was so wet that no one stepped down. It was obvious that they were here to make trouble, and nothing was lost.
"Can you smell someone coming?" You don't need to think about it, you know it's a person, no beast broke in, burned things, and then disguised the entrance of the cave, right
"I don't know. It's a very strange smell. I haven't smelled it before." Xi Ya also felt strange. They hadn't even seen a single person in the past few days at the beach. Seeing something, Xi Ya listened carefully and said, "But..."
"But what?"
"It seems to have a strong smell of sea water." But he wasn't sure if it was brought by the person who came here. After all, this place is close to the sea, and there was a strong smell of sea water in the cave, but this time it was a little different.
"Could it be a mermaid?" Lei Jin suddenly thought of a great possibility. Since they were able to take Mo Ya away here, they obviously knew about this place, and it is possible to go back and forth.
"It's possible." Xi Ya nodded, but they came back late, otherwise they could catch up and ask.
Apparently Lei Jin thought the same way, if he stayed, he might have some clues.
"Looks like today's lunch can only be eaten outside." Xi Ya asked Lei Jin to sit on a rock under the shade of a tree. Not far away, he picked up some dry firewood, sliced a whole wild goat that had been skinned a few times, smeared it with seasoning, and roasted it on the fire.
"You sit here and rest first, I'll get some water to rinse the hole, otherwise we won't be able to live tonight." Xi Ya turned the wild goat over, scored a few times, and continued to roast.
Seeing that Lei Jin nodded in agreement, Xi Ya went into the cave and came out with two big wooden barrels, which he dug out with a big tree trunk overnight, and then drilled two holes, and it was ready to be used through a thick tree vine. It's a little rough, but it's okay to fetch water anyway, they don't want to live here at home, where did they come from so particular
"If you have something to do, you can call me loudly, and I will come right away." Xi Ya has said this sentence many times.
Lei Jin nodded helplessly again, and Xi Ya left in peace.
The light yellow mutton fat dripped on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma of mutton came out.
In fact, Lei Jin heard the movement behind him, but he didn't have time to react at all. After a strong blow, his last thought before passing out was: Damn, this year is not my birth year, it's bad luck.
The visitor shook his huge fish tail, came to Lei Jin, turned him over, pinched him twice on the face, and did not stop until there were red marks. It’s just that you look okay, and I don’t see anything special about it, and I just slapped it on the ground with my tail, I really don’t know what he likes about you.”
Thinking that his father would not let him go ashore recently, saying that he found a beastman who had been looking for something in the sea these days, he thought to himself that it was probably Mo Ya's big brother, so this must be their female. After seeing it, he had to leave immediately, but he remembered that the creek was not far from here, and the orcs would come back soon, so he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to beat them, so it was better not to take risks.
"Leaving so soon?" Lei Jin, who was still lying on the ground, said lazily.
"Why didn't you faint?" Although he didn't use 100% of his strength, he was 80% afraid that he would directly slap the female to death.
"Where's Mo Ya?" Lei Jin looked at his golden fishtail, confirmed his identity, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all.
"By the way, since we are here, we must bring him something." Berg suddenly thought of this, smiled triumphantly, turned around, held Lei Jin down, and tore off a lot of hair.
Lei Jin's scalp was numb from the pain, he kicked him and continued to ask, "Where's Mo Ya?"
"Are you in such a hurry?" Berg sneered and said, "I just won't tell you, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped a few meters away.
Lei Jin's back hurts badly. He really fainted just now, but at the moment before, he tilted his head slightly to avoid the vital parts. Then he was woken up violently.
But according to his words, Mo Ya is indeed in his hands.
"Lei Jin..." Seeing him lying on the ground as soon as Xiya came back, she quickly put down the bucket and ran over.
"Bah..." Xi Ya supported his back, and Lei Jin gasped in pain.
"What's wrong?" Xi Ya didn't wait for him to answer, she lifted up her clothes, and a huge red swelling slanted across her entire back from her shoulders to her waist.
"What's going on here?" Xi Ya couldn't hide her distress, he had only left for a while, why was Lei Jin injured so badly
"That mermaid has been here." Lei Jin said succinctly, the burning pain from his back really made him not want to talk more.
"Is this also his injury?"
Lei Jin nodded.
Seeing the blood on Lei Jin's mouth from biting out of pain, Xi Ya felt like killing someone.
Now the wound medicine that Mo Ya found really came in handy,
Xi Ya went back to the cave to find Mo Ya's cloth bag. Fortunately, they were afraid of wild animals coming in, so they buried the medicinal herbs under a stone in a corner beforehand, and helped Lei Jin take off his clothes. Xi Ya didn't bother to look for anything else. It was crushed, chewed directly in the mouth, and applied to Lei Jin's swelling.
Although it still hurts, Lei Jin has already experienced that time with Longniao, so he can bear it no matter what this time.
Now that Lei Jin is injured, he can't eat mutton. Ah Mo said before that with injuries on his body, don't eat mutton. When I was fetching water, I caught a few fish. Xi Ya tidied up the fish neatly, took off the half-cooked goat, put it on the fish and grilled it.
Lei Jin talked to Xi Ya back and forth with the mermaid, and finally concluded: "It seems that Mo Ya is really in his hands, that's for sure."
"Mo Ya should not be in danger for the time being, but how can we save him?" Xi Ya frowned. It would be great if she could go into the water to check it out, but this is obviously impossible, even if she knew, it would be nothing. Way, the two of them didn't know what to say for a while.
"Maybe it's not as delicious as yours, so just make do with it." Xi Ya brought the grilled fish over, blew on the hot air, and handed it to Lei Jin's mouth when she felt it was ready to eat.
Lei Jin opened his mouth and took a bite. He didn't know what kind of fish it was, but the meat was quite tender, even though it had many spines.
Xi Ya obviously noticed it at this time, and said hastily: "Spit out what's in your mouth quickly, you can eat it after I finish picking the thorns."
When Lei Jin spit it out, Xiya washed her hands, picked up a small wooden thorn carefully one by one, and did not forget to look up at Lei Jin and said, "It will be ready soon, just wait a moment, or I'll give it a try first." Bring some dried fruit for you to eat."
In fact, the rough hands and feet of the orcs would not be able to do such meticulous work, but Xi Ya kept her head down and was very focused on picking. Lei Jin licked the blood on his mouth, bitterly salty, and said, "No need, Xi Ya, no need to pick, I'm not very hungry, just get me some hot water."
"Hot water? I've turned it on just now." Xi Ya turned her head, gestured with her chin to the half-buried bamboo tube next to the fire, and said, "It's already steaming? It should be open. I'll go get it." Because He found that Lei Jin liked to drink hot water relatively. Everywhere he went, he would boil some hot water first. These were the ones that had been placed just now.
Xi Ya took two bamboo cups and poured them back and forth.
"Okay, it's neither cold nor hot, just right to drink." Xi Ya smiled and handed it over.
"I don't want to drink water anymore, I want to rest for a while." Lei Jin suddenly turned his head away, not wanting to see Xi Ya like this again.
"But you haven't eaten yet. If you don't want to eat grilled fish, let me make you some fish soup?" Xi Ya was thinking that Lei Jin was still injured, how could he not eat.
"That's enough, Xi Ya." Lei Jin's charming peach eyes are full of coldness at this time, and he can't stop his anger. He has never seen Xi Ya so cautiously flattering others, blurting out hurtful words without mercy: "That's enough, Xiya, it's really enough, don't bother me anymore, I promised you to go back to the Leopard Tribe doesn't mean to promise something, you should understand, I'm just going back, you said Chunji can cure me As for the others, you'd better not even think about it. If you think you should ask for compensation for taking care of me along the way, that's fine, it's fair, then let's do it well, isn't this your goal? Isn't it just to fuck me? Why do you have to wrong yourself like this? Let's just say it, I can't resist now, and it's not the first time."
With a "click", Mo Ya let out a long sigh of relief, and untied the last chain buckle on her body...
