After being beaten, the little guy screamed louder and struggled harder, scratching and tearing Wu Dongfang's camouflage uniform.
"I only have this one piece of clothing." As soon as Wu Dongfang finished speaking, he let out another chirp.
Before he could react, the little guy had already fallen out of the hole in his clothes.
Wu Dongfang looked at the camouflage uniform with big holes in distress. For him, this camouflage uniform was not only a piece of clothing, but also a memory of modern times and the army.
"Bang" "Wow wow wow~"
Wu Dongfang turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the little guy hit a big tree while running away, and was spinning in circles.
Wu Dongfang sighed, took off his body armor and went over to cover it. He put on his camouflage uniform and carried it back again. It was still too young to live in the wild. Letting it run away would be like leaving it to die in the wild. .
The little guy was not honest and burrowed into the body armor indiscriminately.
"Tear it up if you can." Wu Dongfang walked quickly. He saw a faint fire coming from the top of the mountain in the north, which meant that Mingwan was there.
Halfway up the mountain, Wu Dongfang noticed something was wrong. He lifted up his bag and saw a hairy hind leg hanging out of the bag.
This discovery surprised him. Although the bulletproof vest was not stab-proof, it was also difficult to be punctured. It had taken him more than an hour to cut the bow string, and it only took twenty minutes at most to wrap the red panda in it. .
When they reached the top of the mountain, Ming Wan quickly came up to him and took the bow and arrow and the pheasant in his hand, "What's in the clothes?"
"Panda, little one." After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, he saw the confusion on Mingwan's face and shook his head helplessly. He could accurately understand the Xia Dynasty language spoken by Mingwan into modern vocabulary, but the modern vocabulary he spoke in Mingwan was completely different. not understand.
After shaking his head, Wu Dongfang walked towards the cave with his clothes and bag.
Mingwan used the light of the fire to see clearly the head exposed outside the bag, and her expression suddenly changed, "Let it go quickly."
"Why?" Wu Dongfang asked doubtfully.
"Pixiu is a ferocious beast. If you take away its child, its mother will find it." Ming Wan said anxiously.
"Look clearly, this is a panda." Wu Dongfang opened his bag, grabbed the soft skin on the back of the little guy's neck and lifted it up.
"It's Pixiu, look at its ears and eyes." Mingwan said with certainty.
"Does your Pixiu look like this?" Wu Dongfang disagreed.
Seeing that Wu Dongfang didn't believe her words, Ming Wan became more and more anxious, "It's Pixiu. Tigers and leopards are afraid of it. Let it go quickly. Its mother will find it here sooner or later."
"His mother is dead." Wu Dongfang was holding the grunting little guy. He was thinking about where to put it. This guy definitely couldn't be tied with a rope.
"Did you kill him?" The confusion in Mingwan's eyes showed that she did not believe what Wu Dongfang said.
"No, he was bitten to death by a red snake with horns on its head." Wu Dongfang put the little guy back into his bag and handed the bag to Mingwan, "Hold it for me."
"What are you going to do?" Ming Wan fearfully picked up her bag.
"Keep it for a few days." Wu Dongfang picked up a piece of bluestone and walked towards the cave. He wanted to build a stone circle for the panda in the cave.
"Pixiu can eat people and cannot be raised." Mingwan said loudly.
"It's okay, keep it for a few days and then let it go." Wu Dongfang said casually.
The blood stains in the cave had been wiped away by Ming Wan. Wu Dongfang carried bluestones and built a half-human-high stone circle in the northwest corner of the cave, and poured the panda into it.
"It's so big and can eat on its own. Let it go." Mingwan still tried to persuade.
"Don't let go." Wu Dongfang became annoyed and emphasized his tone.
Seeing that Wu Dongfang insisted on his own opinion, Mingwan stopped trying to persuade him, but the worry on his face was extremely obvious.
"You call it Pixiu?" Wu Dongfang checked his body armor. The tough body armor was torn open by this little thing. An ordinary panda would never be able to do this, so he began to doubt this little thing. Is something a panda or does it look like a panda
"I saw that right, it's Pixiu." Mingwan turned around and walked out.
"What does it like to eat?" Wu Dongfang asked again. In modern times, Pixiu is said to be the son of the dragon, and it is completely unrelated to the giant panda.
"Meat." Mingwan added fuel to the fire.
"Does it eat bamboo?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"I only eat bamboo when I can't find meat." Mingwan said
Wu Dongfang did not ask again. Pandas evolved from carnivorous animals. Even in modern times, they still occasionally eat meat. As long as this guy eats bamboo, it is undoubtedly a panda. Mingwan said it was Pixiu, which shows that modern people's understanding of Pixiu is wrong. In ancient times, Pixiu referred to a panda rather than a dragon.
"It's so late, why are you here?" Wu Dongfang asked. Normally, Mingwan only comes once a day, but today this is the third time he has come.
Mingwan said nothing.
"What happened?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"I hurt you, I shouldn't have brought the fox back." Ming Wan said in frustration.
Wu Dongfang stepped out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I brought the dead fox back to the village. Everyone knows that you killed the fox and they all admire you, but the wizard is very unhappy and asked me to tell you to leave here after you recover from the injury." Mingwan said.
"Why is she unhappy?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Mingwan shook his head and said, "That fox was so powerful that even the wizard couldn't deal with it, but you killed it, so the wizard doubted your identity and was afraid that you would cause trouble to the village if you stayed here."
Wu Dongfang smiled and said, "It's human nature, don't blame her. Go back and tell your wizard that I will definitely leave in half a month."
"It was my fault, I shouldn't have brought the fox back." Ming Wan blamed herself.
"It has nothing to do with you. It's because I can't explain my origins, so it's normal for her to doubt me." Wu Dongfang said casually.
Mingwan lowered his head and said nothing. After a moment, he took off a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it to Wu Dongfang.
"What is this?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"That fox's elixir." Ming Wan said.
Wu Dongfang took the bag and poured out the contents. It was a red round bead, about the size of a quail egg, with a faint aroma.
"So there really is this thing. Where is it located on its body?" Wu Dongfang looked at the beads in his hands. Anyone who has seen Liaozhai will be familiar with this thing, but few people can see it with their own eyes.
"Some are in the head, and some are in the belly. I found this one in its belly," Mingwan said.
Wu Dongfang put the beads back into the bag, "How do you know it has this thing in its belly?"
"There are wild beasts that live a long time, but it is rare to see red ones. Most of them are white. This one is red and is very valuable." Mingwan's pronunciation did not mean money, because there was no money at this time. She said It's "Yao Yun Wu Mo", and its original meaning is "can exchange many things".
"What's the use of this thing? Why is the red one more valuable than the white one?" Wu Dongfang asked curiously.
"It seems that the wizards of the Tu tribe can use it to cure diseases. The red one is less valuable than the white one. The white one can be exchanged for a jar of salt, and the red one can be exchanged for three sheep." Mingwan said.
"It's for you." Wu Dongfang handed the small bag to Mingwan.
"Your clothes are torn. Tomorrow the men in the village will go to the tribe to deliver ore. I will ask them to bring back cloth and I will make clothes for you." Ming Wan accepted it happily. People in the Xia Dynasty were more practical than modern people, at least Ming Wan Wan is more practical than the modern women he has seen. She will accept it if she is given, and will not take it if she is not given.
"Ask them to bring back a few more jars of salt." Wu Dongfang said.
"Okay." Mingwan nodded in agreement.
Wu Dongfang handed her the pheasant he shot today and said, "Go back early. Your child is still waiting for you at home."
Mingwan took the pheasant and turned to look at the cave. The little thing was calling inside.
"Don't worry about it. I just left my mother and won't eat. Let's go." Wu Dongfang urged.
Ming Wan carried the pheasant down the mountain, and Wu Dongfang sat beside the fire in a daze. He didn't blame the wizard in the village. He could only blame himself for not being able to explain his identity and origin. According to his temper, since the other party had issued an eviction order He will leave immediately and will not stay for a minute longer. The reason why he will stay here for another half month is to store more food for Mingwan and her two children.
After sitting outside the cave for half an hour, Wu Dongfang got up and walked into the cave to sleep. The little guy had already calmed down, but when he heard the footsteps, he started to hum again. Wu Dongfang was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, so he had to run outside the cave. Go to sleep.
When he got up in the morning, Wu Dongfang went to the southeastern valley. The animal corpse that was killed by the human-shaped flames some time ago now only had the skeleton left. The bones of the Fire Tribe people had disappeared. They might have been taken back by their tribesmen. .
After driving away several large scavenging birds, he selected useful bones and carried some back.
The unknown animal may have survived for many years, and its bones are extremely hard, which is what he values. The power of his bow and arrow has always been unsatisfactory. The problem is not with the bow, but with the arrow. The bamboo arrow is too It was light, had insufficient range, and was not accurate enough. He wanted to use these bones to polish a tube of bone arrows.
The little guy who was locked in the stone circle heard his footsteps and started to call again. Wu Dongfang walked over and took a look, then returned to the outside of the cave and started busy. Because the bones were too hard, the polishing work was difficult and slow, but he There was no rush. The Xia Dynasty had no other metals except copper, and copper was obviously not suitable for arrows. It was too heavy and could not shoot far. Not hard enough and not sharp. If these special bones could be ground into bone arrows, their power would be amazing.
At noon, he put some water in the stone circle from an earthenware bowl. The little boy refused to drink and overturned it with his paws.
He went to the stone circle to check five or six times that day, but did not feed the red panda.
At noon the next day, he put the pottery bowl filled with water again. This time the panda drank, but he still did not feed him.
On the evening of the third day, the little guy finally pooped. Wu Dongfang checked the feces and found that the feces had a slight odor and was mixed with a few fruit seeds.
If you just feed from milk, the feces will not smell bad. The smell shows that the little guy has started to eat meat even though it has not been completely weaned. The few fruit seeds clearly indicate what kind of fruit it has eaten before.
After confirming this, he immediately went out to find food for the little guy. After the moon rose, he brought back a rabbit and a bunch of wild pears.
What he didn't expect was that the little guy had a very good appetite. He sat in the corner and finished the main meal and added seven fruits after the meal.
"He's a loser, he's such a loser." Wu Dongfang smacked his tongue and shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the cave. Wu Dongfang turned his head and looked outside, and saw a figure flashing past from west to east from the south ridge.
Wu Dongfang quickly followed him out. At this moment, the witch from the village floated up from a big tree on the west slope, stepped in front of him, and asked sternly, "Where have you been just now?"
