Chapter 25 [Baobab Fruit]
Chapter 25 [Baobab Fruit]
Ye Lanling hugged the thread of the "Mountain Spider" tightly, and trotted back along the markings, without encountering any more weird creatures.He stepped over puddles and thorns, he wanted to run faster and save Yong with Si in his arms.Running, he gradually slowed down, here is... Ye Lanling looked back at the mark on the tree, the direction was not wrong, but why did this low shrub only have green leaves and branches when he came here, but now there are branches? Big and small fruits.He remembered that the "melon" just now had been thrown away in a hurry, or... try this.
Ye Lanling leaned down and carefully looked at the gray-brown coconut-like fruits in front of him. Each one was 20 centimeters in size and had no eye-catching color, but exuded a faint fragrance, just like bread just out of the oven, swollen to overflowing The fragrance of whole grains.Ye Lanling hesitated for a while, and squeezed the fruit with one hand. It was as soft as imagined. He gently picked one off, poked a small poke into his mouth, and instantly felt that his strength had recovered. Hungry, thirsty and tired again.It seems that this is also a fetish.Ye Lanling didn't think much, picked two in a hurry and put them in his arms, then stood up and hurried back.
Within a quarter of an hour, Ye Lanling appeared in front of Ji Rulian with his arms full.
"Brother Ye... Brother Ye." Ji Rulian's eyes flashed, he stared at the fire for too long, and when he saw Ye Lanling standing at the entrance of the cave, he couldn't see any shadow for a while, "Is that you?" ?You're back!"
"It's me, I'm back, I've been waiting for a long time." Ye Lanling put down the life-saving baby in his arms, sat sideways beside Ji Rulian, looked at Yong who was still awake, his terrible right hand seemed to be bleeding again, the gray There were blood stains on the hemp-colored cloth, "Xiaoru, I found something that can save Yong." Ye Lanling bent down, gently raised Yong's right hand, looked at the shocking blood, his heart still It hurt hard, "Help me hold his hand, I want to change the cloth strip."
"Brother Ye, you...really..." Ji Rulian was so relieved when he heard Ye Lanling's affirmative reply that he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"Xiao Ru, hurry up, hold Yong's hand and don't shake it." Ye Lanling said, carefully began to untie the cloth strips, and threw the blood-stained bandages to one corner. He pulled the "mountain spider" The silk, inside and out, carefully entangled, I hope there is still time, I hope I can save Yong, I hope... Ye Lanling gently put down the wrapped hand, he silently lowered his head, and said Keep repeating, "Please let me save him, please let me save him, please let me save him..."
The uneven walls of the cave reflect their shadows, swaying, and the dark night outside the cave is silent, and the occasional strange sound breaks the dry cold of winter.
I don't know how long I looked down like this, Ye Lanling kept staring at that hand, fearing that it would continue to deteriorate, but the "mountain spider" silk is undoubtedly a good medicine, Yong's wrist has obviously receded from swelling, and showed a normal color of blood.Ye Lanling finally breathed a sigh of relief, he moved his already numb feet, and looked up to find that Ji Rulian was also staring straight at Yong.At this time, Ye Lanling remembered that he had forgotten to give the "bread" to Ji Rulian. He must have been very hungry, "Xiao Ru, Yong should be fine now. His hand is recovering, and he is recovering very quickly. I believe it." He'll wake up soon."
"Is...really?" Ji Rulian twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, for this sentence, he waited for a long time, like a lifetime, "It's really... that's great, Brother Ba... too alright."
Ye Lanling looked at Ji Rulian who was in the same mood as himself, and felt a little comfort in his heart.He was with Yong before he came, and he will always be with Yong after I leave, so... can my feelings be conveyed to him.
"Xiao Ru, I've eaten this before. It's not poisonous. But you only need to take a small bite to be full."
Jiru connected to the "bread" that Ye Lanling handed over, "What is this, it looks so ugly, and why can I only eat one bite?"
"This is called..." Ye Lanling tilted his head and thought for a while, and said that he seemed to have seen this thing somewhere, it was in a book, and he remembered, the "baobab tree" in "The Little Prince" and this It seems that the baobab tree on the little prince's planet is much taller than ours. "This one is called 'baobab fruit'."
"Baobabfruit? What a strange name." Ji Rulian looked at the gray and soft fruit in his hand, and after taking a small bite, he showed a surprised expression.Hey~~ This unattractive thing tastes pretty good, full of silky sweetness, lingering fragrance, the most important thing is that after swallowing a mouthful, all the resistance in the body is wiped away, and the spirit is full, "Brother Ye, this thing ...where did you come from?"
"I picked it in the woods, because it looked delicious, so I tried a bite, and it turned out to be a treasure." Ye Lanling poked the fire that was about to go out with a branch, "Unfortunately, I didn't find it." Xuan Xunlian'."
"Really? It doesn't matter. When Big Brother Ba wakes up, we will continue to search on the mountain. I believe we will find it."
"Look up the mountain?" Ye Lanling thought of something, and muttered to himself, "Go up the mountain...up, that's right! That's what it wants to say, it's guiding us to go up to find 'Xuan Xunlian' '."
"He? Who is he?" Ji Rulian looked suspiciously at Ye Lanling, who was overjoyed after suddenly realizing it, "Did Brother Ye meet anyone else?"
"Ah... no, I was talking to myself." Ye Lanling planned to hide the "mountain spider", after all, no one would like to be there in person for such a near-death scene, so he looked at Ji Rulian with his head drooping, The heavy eyelids blinked dryly, "Xiao Ru, go to sleep for a while, I'll take care of Yong."
"No way, you're so lonely by yourself, I'm still... ah~~" Ji Ru even laughed, "I'm not sleepy at all, I don't want to sleep yet, I'll chat with you."
Seeing Ji Rulian's desperate state, Ye Lanling shook his head amusedly, stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, "Go to sleep, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
Ji Rulian lay down peacefully, as soon as his head touched the ground, his eyes closed involuntarily, and his mouth was still muttering something, sleepiness took away his consciousness.
Ye Lanling smiled, he was really a child, able to sleep so fast.He pulled the fat and big leaves picked up on the road, and covered them lightly.Then, she sat beside Yong and looked at his face quietly, "Lonely? Haven't I been used to it for a long time..."
