Chapter 24: Scrape barnacles off turtles to relieve boredom

Si Yan sat on the ground holding her stomach, thinking that at this moment, the four children in the family would probably curse her to death.

The eldest son Dong Chi will probably say: "The bad female really abandoned us, I knew it."

 Er Zaizi Nan Mo...Er Zaizi probably doesn't have to hide anymore. She stands with her four brothers and quietly listens to everyone discussing this bad female.

As for the third son, Xiqing, Xiqing is a bit awkward, but he should accept her to some extent. I wonder if he will be a little worried about her.

As for the fourth son Bei Ji, he is the only one Si Yan is sure to worry about. It's a pity that she can't tell Bei Ji where she is now.

 …

 Yanxiang tribe, Si Yan’s cave.

 In the cave, there was no hot food or soup. In the darkness, four pairs of vertical pupils stared, lifeless.

Dong Chi said coolly to his three younger brothers: "Don't wait, that bad female is dead outside. She won't come back."

The atmosphere in the cave became extremely tense, and Bei Ji suddenly became a little angry: "Brother, stop talking, you are obviously worried about her too!"

 “I’m worried about her? What a joke.”

Bei Ji said angrily: "You know how to say angry things!"

Dong Chi's voice was cold, "If she sells me once, she can sell me a second time. What's more, my hands and feet are broken. I'm a useless waste. It's only a matter of time before she abandons me!"

 After saying that, Dong Chi became even more depressed.

“Sooner or later she will abandon me again.”

　　When Si Yan was still crazy, Dong Chi, as the eldest brother, took on the responsibility of taking care of several brothers. At the same time, he is also the one who takes the most care of Si Yan and is the most worried about Si Yan among the four brothers.

Si Yan would sometimes disappear by herself, and Dong Chi would look for her in the back mountains all night long.

At that time, even though everyone knew that Si Yan was unreliable, and even though Si Yan would be frightened by them and beat and scold them, no one Zaizai really left her.

Bei Ji hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, mother said your hands and feet will be fine."

Dong Chi smiled coolly. In the past few years in the Yanxiang tribe, he had never seen a person return to normal after having his hands and feet broken off.

In the Yanxiang tribe, even if a male is injured and recovers, his hands and feet will be broken and he will become a waste from then on.

His hands and feet only have a few extra wooden boards, so what's the use?

 He is just a waste, a waste that will be abandoned sooner or later!

Xiqing was silent for a while, and then said: "She won't abandon us now. I think she may have encountered an accident."

After Xiqing finished speaking, the cave was quiet for a while, and Bei Ji suddenly got up and ran out of the cave.

Bei Ji: "I finally got my mother, and I can't let her disappear. I want to find her!"

Dong Chi gave Xiqing a cool look.

Xiqing followed him helplessly: "I don't worry about Beiji alone, so I'll stay with him."

Dong Chi leaned gently on the stone bed, turned to Nan Mo and said, "You stay with Xiqing."

Nan Mo nodded, turned and left.

 …

 She didn’t know how she struggled in the sky before. Anyway, her worn-out shoes were rubbed off.

Si Yan is now barefoot, with her left and right feet rubbing together.

 In the moonlight, Si Yan looked at the turtles slapping one after another on the shore.

 Various creatures grow in the sea, one of which is called barnacles.

Barnacle is a hermaphrodite that likes to cling to smooth surfaces as a parasite. Among them, it especially likes turtles.

No, the shell of the little turtle that Si Yan had just salvaged was already covered with a layer of barnacles about the same size as it.

This kind of parasite lies on its turtle shell, which will not only erode its turtle shell, but also reduce the turtle's movement speed due to being too heavy, thus causing the turtle to lose its ability to survive.

Si Yan happened to be bored, so she used her dagger to scratch barnacles to relieve her boredom.

 Her dagger cut off a large piece of barnacles in one go, and she saw the little turtle shrinking up.

“I’ll help you clean up the barnacles, and I’ll use them to make dinner,” Si Yan said.

I don’t know if the turtle understood it, but it was very cooperative with Si Yan.

After cleaning the barnacles on the back of the turtle, Si Yan returned the turtle to the sea. Si Yan, who watched the little turtle leave, was about to get up and grill the barnacles. However, at this moment, she saw more and more turtles crawling on the sea. Go ashore and surround her.

 The little turtles carefully surrounded her and cradled her bare little feet with their heads.

“You want me to clean out the barnacles for you?”

 The little turtles nodded their round little heads uniformly.

So Si Yan sat down again. Interestingly, she saw these little turtles lining up neatly one after another, as if they were queuing up in front of a barber shop waiting for a haircut.

Si Yan spent the long night cleaning barnacles from the turtles one by one. There were probably enough barnacles behind her to feed her for a week.

 Finally, the last barnacle was cleared, Si Yan put down the last little turtle and stretched out.

At this moment, the blue waves were rippling, and Si Yan saw the little heads of cute little turtles one after another on the sea. They seemed to be expressing their gratitude to her, and then they plopped into the water one after another. .

Si Yan blinked. She had never experienced this wonderful feeling in the last days.

 Not long after, a huge white falcon came back with a beast in its mouth.

Just when Mu Xiao was about to deal with the prey, he saw that Si Yan had already started to deal with the barnacles and asked in surprise: "Are you hunting again?"

Si Yan’s eyes twitched. Why did he say "again"?

Mu Xiao stared at the food prepared by Si Yan, and looked at her from beginning to end several times, staring at her until Si Yan felt uncomfortable. Mu Xiao quickly said: "Little female, wait for me!"

Si Yan turned around and saw Mu Xiao suddenly picking up the prey and running to the other side of the sea to handle it.

Just as Si Yan lit a fire and started grilling, Mu Xiao came over with a pile of furs. Si Yan recognized them as the furs of the wild beast just now.

Mu Xiao put down a pile of furs. He took out two newly made shoes from among the furs and put them on her feet.

 The red short boots are inlaid with feathers of the same color as the wooden owl's own fur, which are obviously his feathers.

Si Yan retracted her feet, and Mu Xiao held her little feet with one hand.

“So small. Female feet are really tender.” He said while observing.

Si Yan hesitated for a while. She lost her shoes and the soles of her feet lost their protection. She really needed a new pair of shoes.

So he said: "I have taken your shoes and will return them to you later."

Mu Xiao said: "There is no need to return it. It is natural for males to prepare clothes for females."

Si Yan doesn’t understand.

Is this also the rule in the beast world?

 She hesitated briefly, then put her feet into the boots.

 The size is just right and it’s very soft and comfortable!

Seeing that the effect was good, Wood Owl excitedly took the saltwater crocodile skin and said, "There are also animal skin clothes and animal skin skirts. You can try them all!"

Saltwater crocodiles are extremely ferocious beasts in the sea. Green crystal orcs dare not approach them at all, and only red crystal orcs like Mu Xiao dare to fight against them.

It is famous for being ferocious and terrifying, but its hide is very good and its meat is delicious.
