The summer sun is always overly enthusiastic, and the sun during the day always makes the temperature extraordinarily high. Lin Mu has always been afraid of heat, so they walked in the forest except for flying in the sky in the morning and evening when the weather was cool. Because they are out to play, the two of them are naturally not in a hurry, and walking slowly in the forest will naturally see more scenery.
Unknown fruit trees, unknown flowers, unknown wild vegetables... Because if you spend more time in the forest, you will naturally harvest more. They ate a lot of fruits that they had never eaten before, were lucky enough to pick a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables, climbed trees to pick fruits, watched waterfalls, caught fish in pools, and caught bunnies in grass... Lin Mu thought it was very interesting. Although the pace was a lot slower, but after all, he was out for fun, so just be happy. What made Lin Mu most happy was that they found cumin.
In Lin Mu's mind, barbecue with cumin is the most delicious. Unfortunately, he never found this condiment when he was in the tribe, but this time he was lucky enough to find it.
That day, as usual, the two walked hand in hand in the forest in order to avoid the harsh sunlight. Suddenly a gentle breeze blew, which not only brought coolness, but also mixed with a scent that Lin Mu was very familiar with, making Lin Mu's eyes brighten. Immediately excited, Patrik asked himself to find the source of the smell. As he expected, they found the target more than 20 meters ahead - a small piece of cumin.
Patrik looked at Lin Mu with bright eyes, and couldn't understand why he was so excited about such a small plant with a strange smell, but he didn't rush to ask, he knew that Lin Mu would tell him soon. Sure enough, after touching the slender fruit excitedly, Lin Mu happily said to Patric: "Hey, Patric, we found something good. This is cumin! We were so lucky to find cumin Of course! Haha, this is the best barbecue!" He immediately took Patrik's hand and said, "Help me pick it."
Lin Mu said, Patrik naturally started to follow suit immediately. He took the small animal skin pockets that Lin Mu handed over. These small pockets were specially made by Lin Mu to collect small things. Of course, Lin Mu usually collects Something to do with eating. And Lin Mu's eyes light up when he sees something, most of it has something to do with food.
"It will make the barbecue more delicious." Patrik naturally followed suit, and of course he also likes food.
Patrik and the others collected three small bags of cumin. Lin Mu looked at the bag in his hand and said happily to Patrik, "Let's find a place to camp ahead. We'll make something delicious at noon."
Lin Mu didn't plan to hurry, he planned to set off again in the evening. Thinking about drying the freshly picked cumin, it is easy to dry the cumin in this weather, and because I find that the cumin is in a good mood, I naturally want to reward myself, so I am going to have a good meal at noon. It used to be very simple for them to eat.
Patric naturally had no objection to Lin Mu's suggestion, and they found a spacious place to camp in front, because Lin Mu said that he wanted to have a big meal, so Patrik naturally went hunting.
As usual, Patrik put Lin Mu in a hidden place, and told him to stay here obediently and not to run around, and asked him to carry the bone knife with him. Patrik left with peace of mind after Lin Mu promised that he would stay where he was and wait for him to come back. It's not that Patric is such a mother-in-law, but that Lin Mu has a criminal record. Once before, when Lin Mu was bored waiting for Patric to wait, he left the spot to pick some vegetables and fruits. He was almost injured by an unknown animal that looked like a mouse but was the size of a pig. Fortunately, Patrik came back in time, but he was also frightened when he saw the 'rat' hit Lin Mu and was about to bite him. Fortunately, he rescued Lin Mu in time, but this made him terrified, what if they came back in time? The bloody scene in his mind made Patrik turn blue.
Lin Mu, who was also frightened, felt extremely guilty when he saw Patrik's nervous appearance. He has never suffered any harm under Patric's protection, so he forgot about the danger in the forest. Seeing Patrik's worried look, he promised him guiltily that he would never do it again. In the future, I will obediently wait for Patrik to come back and never run around again.
After calming down their frightened hearts, the two still prepared a sumptuous lunch. In order to keep Patrik from getting angry, Lin Mu worked even harder. So lunch is unusually rich. And after eating the barbecue with cumin, Patrik immediately fell in love with the strange taste.
After Patric left. Lin Mu, who was staying on the tree, was surrounded by dense leaves. From the outside, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't find anyone there. Seeing that Patrik had left, Lin Mu took down his backpack. There are mainly some condiments and some small things in the backpack, and of course there are mainly some snacks that Lin Mu likes.
Lin Mu looked at the small bag of jerky he found and slowly biting it, while waiting for Patrik to come back. And in my mind, I was thinking about things in a mess. Because of inattention, I didn't notice that the bag of jerky in my hand fell down.
"Ah! It fell." Lin Mu looked down, because he was too high up to see his meat bag. I didn't care too much, thinking that I would pick it up when Patric came back. Then he took out another fruit to chew on.
But what Lin Mu didn't know was that the little bag containing the meat was immediately grabbed by the little hand protruding from the nearby bushes as soon as it fell to the ground.
When Patric came back, he brought a lot of meat, and of course he also brought some fruits and vegetables that Lin Mu loved to eat.
Patrik put their luggage on a tall tree twenty or thirty trees away from Lin Mu, but after Patrik rushed back, he first went to confirm that Lin Mu was honestly there. Waiting for him on the tree, put the meat on the ground and let Lin Mu jump down with open hands as before. Although Patric can also go up the tree to pick up Lin Mu, but Lin Mu likes this kind of exercise of jumping down.
Lin Mu was put down by Patrik, and he laughed in a good mood, "Hurry up and get your things."
Lin Mu thought of his jerky bag when Patrik went to get things, but he searched all around the tree but couldn't find it. Lin Mu looked at the grass in doubt, "Did it fall into the grass? ?” Looking at the one-meter-high grass, Lin Mu decided to let Patrik find it for him, in case there were bugs or something in it, it would be bad.
When Patric came over with his things, he saw Lin Mu looking at a bush and wondering what he was thinking, "What's wrong?"
"My bag of jerky fell, but I couldn't find it. It might have fallen into the grass. You can help me find it later." Lin Mu pointed to the operator in front of him.
Lin Mu didn't notice that the grass moved slightly when he told Patrik to go in and look for it, but because there was a gust of wind blowing by, Lin Mu didn't care about the slight tremor. But Lin Mu didn't find out, it doesn't mean Patrik didn't find out.
Patrik squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the grass, but finally said nothing.
"Mumu, let's cook first, and I'll help you find it later."
"good."
Patrik looked at the grass thoughtfully while he was grilling the meat. He must have hidden there and hadn't left yet. But he was sure that the thing was harmless to them. Simply put, Patrik could handle it easily.
Lin Mu didn't notice Patric's strangeness, so he gave the honey to Patrik, "Add some honey to the barbecue." Lin Mu also likes honey barbecue. These honeys are found by Patrik, very good honey. Now Lin Mu likes to drink a glass of honey water in the morning and evening, which is good for his health.
After the two of them were full, there were some leftovers from Lin Mu's soup and barbecue, but Patrik didn't pack everything up as usual, but directly pulled Lin Mu to a place a few meters away from where they set up the stove. Taking a nap under the big tree.
"Pack up your things first."
"Clean up after waking up." As he spoke, he pulled Lin Mu into his arms and sat on the ground covered with animal skins, leaning against a tree to sleep.
Lin Mu felt hot and wanted to lie down on the animal skin to sleep. Anyway, the animal skin was the biggest one, and he pulled Patric to sleep with him.
Finding a comfortable position in Patric's arms to sleep well, Lin Mu soon became a little confused, but felt that someone called him softly after a while.
"Huh?" Lin Mu opened his misty eyes and was a little puzzled why Patric called him. Didn't he wake up naturally in the past
Then I saw Patrik mysteriously told him not to speak loudly, and asked him to secretly look in the direction where they were sleeping.
Lin Mu turned over curiously, slowly raised his head, and saw a child. Well, little kids who are stealing their food.
The child was dirty and had no clothes on. What surprised him most was that the child had a long tail stretched out.
"he!"
"Hush—" Patric motioned him to whisper, "Don't startle him."
Lin Mu continued to peek, the child was eating very fast, obviously hungry for a long time, "How should we change it?" Lin Mujue's child is so pitiful, so small, it looks like he is only one year old.
"how do you want to do it?"
"I want to raise him. He must be an abandoned child, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." He knows how important the cub is, how could it be possible to let him stay in the forest alone, it is too dangerous. The most important thing is that this child looks too strange. If it is an orc, it cannot be transformed into a human form when it is young. If it is a female, then it obviously has an extra tail. Lin Mu felt that if this child was abandoned, it must be because of this tail.
Patrik knew that Lin Muxin was fine, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Patric agreed, Lin Mu was very happy, and immediately stood up to look at the little baby.
Patrik shook his head dotingly, he said just now not to startle the children, but he forgot it now.
When the child noticed Lin Mu, Lin Mu had already run to the little child, and the little baby was obviously stunned when he saw Lin Mu. When Patric walked in, he immediately trembled in fear, hugged his head and curled up into a ball, whimpering. Lin Mu felt distressed when he saw it.
Lin Mu squatted down and carefully picked up the child with his hands. He felt that the child trembled even more when his hands touched it. Lin Mu hugged the child in his arms distressedly, and Lin Mu's heart hurt even more when he got closer. The child had many injuries, and the child was so light that it looked like a bone when touched.
Lin Mu saw how small the child's face was, and kept his eyes closed while he was holding him, trembling all over his body. Lin Mu couldn't help but shed tears looking at the sad scene.
"Patri, this baby is so pitiful." Lin Mu's heart ached even more when he thought of the chubby son of Lilia in the tribe, and then looked at the little older child in his arms.
Seeing Lin Mu crying, Patrik comforted him very distressedly, and hugged him in his arms, "Don't be sad Mu Mu, we will raise him well in the future, and he will be white and fat."
"Well, I must make him fat, the baby is too thin."
Because the breath on Lin Mu's body was very soft, the baby gradually calmed down and soon fell asleep.
"Mu Mu, don't cry, let's clean up the child." Patrik suggested to Lin Mu to wipe away his tears.
Lin Mu looked at the dirty body of the baby who had fallen asleep in his arms, "Yeah. Go and boil the water."
Patry boiled the water and made another suggested tub. The baby is very small and fits right in the basin.
The water in the wooden basin is warm water, which is just right for washing in summer. The little one may be tired and not wake up for the entire bath time. It was just because the body was wet with water, and he hummed twice.
After Lin Mu washed the baby carefully, he used herbs to treat the child's wounds. Fortunately, the wounds were small and did not fester.
Now there are no clothes suitable for children. Lin Mu can only take out his pure cotton T-shirt for the baby to wear. The clothes are too big for a child, and they just wrap the baby in it.
All this made the little one sleep more comfortably last night.
Seeing that Lin Mu was sleepy, Patric said, "Mu Mu, let's go to sleep too."
The two were underwater on the animal skin blanket. Lin Mu let the baby sleep in his arms. Although it was a bit hot, Lin Mu didn't let the baby sleep by himself. Obviously children are very insecure.
Seeing Lin Mu carefully guarding the child, Patric felt helpless, and he had caused a little trouble for himself. Seeing how Lin Mu cares so much about this child, it can be seen that this child can steal a lot of Lin Mu's attention. He is worried about his status.
"Patric, how old do you think this child is?"
"One year old."
"Being abandoned at such a young age, he must be very sad. We must treat him well in the future. We cannot let him know that he was abandoned, otherwise he will be very sad. We must let him grow up happily .”
Patrik nodded, he knew what it was like to be abandoned.
When Lin Mu woke up, he saw the little baby looking at him with his eyes open. Lin Mu liked it, "The baby is awake." He said and gently kissed the baby.
The baby didn't struggle or respond, just looked at Lin Mu. Lin Mu hugged the baby and whispered softly to coax the child to play, while Patrik who was not far away was arranging things and setting up the tent by the way, because they added an extra child, and it was obvious that they couldn't go on their way today.
Lin Mu walked with the baby in his arms and talked to the baby. When he came to Patrik, he said, "Patrik, you brought some bird eggs back when you were out hunting. The baby is still very young and hungry. It’s been a long time, so it’s not appropriate for him to eat meat now. I don’t know if the baby is male or female, but I don’t want to eat meat for now.”
Patrik nodded, "I think this child should be female." He wasn't sure either.
Lin Mu nodded. He also thought it was a female, but he didn't care whether it was a female or a male. In his opinion, the baby would be able to find a partner in the future regardless of whether it was a female or a male.
After Patric settled the big and the young, he went hunting again.
In the evening, Lin Mu made egg custard for the baby. The baby liked it very much. Now the child is very dependent on Lin Mu. If Lin Mu wants to put the baby down, he will definitely hold on to Lin Mu's clothes. He whispered for a long time before letting go, and then kept staring at Lin Mu as if he was afraid that he would disappear.
He was placed in Lin Mu's arms when he was sleeping at night, and he could only fall asleep by smelling Lin Mu's scent. Patric, who had been holding Lin Mu to sleep, was very resentful about this, because Lin Mu felt that holding a baby was not suitable for him to hold. Sleep, this will press the baby.
Patrik asked Lin Mu to put the child beside him and let him sleep by himself, but as long as he left Lin Mu's arms, the child would cry, so Lin Mu hugged the child in his arms with distress. Patrik could only helplessly watch the big one hugging each other intimately, while he was sleeping alone and could only watch. Patrik felt a little regretful. Unfortunately, it's too late...
