The Caveman Made Me Awesome

The roads in Xi City have been repaired, and the stone houses for the winter have been built. Apart from the city walls, the most basic construction is almost completed, so Ye Xi finally has some free time.

Holding the flaming fern ball, he rode a hawk and braved the cold rain to the rock salt mine.

It was getting colder and colder, and the pouring rain seemed to be caught in ice, so that most of the animals in the forest hid.

The two falcons in charge of guarding the cave are not afraid of the cold. They stopped on a nearby big tree, with small chests and fluffy feathers huddling together, letting the cold raindrops pass through the leaves and patter. down.

When Ye Xi turned over and jumped off the back of the big hawk, the two falcons immediately retracted their feathers vigilantly, staring at them with sharp eyes.

When they found out that it was Ye Xi, the two falcons immediately withdrew their vigilance, and their plump feathers exploded again, like two round brown pompoms, huddling together to resist the cold.

At this time, Jiaojiao was listlessly huddled in the depths of the rock salt mine. In the darkness, it opened its scarlet eyes sleepily, letting the cold wind blow in.

The scales that were once smooth and gorgeous like metal are now dull and dull.

"Jiao Jiao—!"

Ye Xi stood at the cave and shouted towards the cave entrance.

The black-scaled boa constrictor, which usually came out to meet lightning without screaming, slowly crawled out from the depths of the cave. It hissed twice at Ye Xi, then immediately lowered its head, weary. He never moved a step further.

Ye Xi was surprised when he saw Jiao Jiao like this: "What's wrong?"

He knew that snakes are afraid of the cold and have the habit of hibernating, but Jiaojiao is already a ferocious beast, logically speaking, it shouldn't be so cold that even its scales have lost their luster.

"Hiss..."

Jiao Jiao spat out the snake letter lightly.

Ye Xi frowned, looked carefully at Jiaojiao, and found that its cornea was smoky blue, and then suddenly realized that it was about to shed its skin.

This was Jiaojiao's first time shedding its skin, and he was a little unprepared... But it's always a good thing for a python to shed its skin, after shedding its old skin, the new skin will become harder.

Ye Xi heaved a sigh of relief, patted its big head, and said in a warm voice: "It's been a long time for you, and today you can go back to the city and hibernate in peace. What do you think of the burrow dug by the Zhi tribe? It's deep enough and the place is big." , you can shed your skin with peace of mind."

Hearing Ye Xi's words,

Jiao Jiao immediately raised his head, looking at him suspiciously with scarlet eyes.

It only saw Ye Xi and the big hawk, one person and one bird, it left, who will guard the cave?

Sensing Jiao Jiao's doubts, Ye Xi didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "You come out first."

The huge python body slowly swam out of the cave. The black scales of the giant python were drenched in the icy rain, and there was a crisp sound of metal knocking, but the scales became darker and darker.

After Jiaojiao came out completely, Ye Xi put down the fern ball with flame patterns in his arms with both hands, placed it upright at the entrance of the cave, squatted down to look at it and said solemnly,

"Flame Fern, this cave is very important to us, so I would like to ask you to guard it, is that okay?"

During this period of time, the flaming fern ball's light became increasingly dimmer, and even the breath was almost gone, just like the most common rattan ball, without a trace of life.

But as soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, the flame pattern fern ball suddenly swelled wildly!

Countless vines stretched out in all directions, like climbing vines, climbing up the mountain wall of the rock salt mine at a high speed. At the same time, every leaf seemed to be lit up, and the complicated lines that had been silent flashed like magma again. of light.

In an instant, its aura was so strong that it was almost terrifying.

"—Gah!!"

The two falcons on the branch screamed in terror and flew high into the sky in an instant.

Hulala, all the creatures around exploded as if they were touched by kerosene and fled to the distance. Jiaojiao also picked up Ye Xi like lightning, and fled here desperately.

The aura erupting from the flame fern is too terrifying.

Jiao Jiao was so frightened that he didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, so he immediately took Ye Xi away without thinking about anything.

Ye Xi didn't expect that the flame fern would emit such a terrifying aura, his heart skipped a beat in shock, and he didn't react until the next second, ordering Jiaojiao to stop immediately.

Jiao Jiao is now very afraid of the flame fern, so afraid that his pupils shrink into a line.

But its extreme trust in Ye Xi made it overcome this fear abruptly, and put Ye Xi down stiffly and stayed by his side.

The fire fern is still growing.

Countless vines gradually covered the entire mountain, and the leaves stretched out like flowers blooming, and the lines became more and more radiant, exuding a hot breath.

It was like a big furnace had been born out of thin air.

The surrounding temperature rose instantly, and the chill was swept away. When the pouring rain fell on the leaves of the flaming fern, it was instantly evaporated.

When the flaming fern finished stretching, the mist on the entire mountain surged like a sea of ​​clouds, and the scene was quite shocking.

Then the flame fern began to restrain its heat.

The billowing majestic mist also shrank violently, and finally only a layer of two centimeters of light water mist remained.

Ye Xi let out a deep breath to calm down the shock in his heart.

The aura erupting from the flame fern just now was even more terrifying than the first time he saw it. He didn't even have a trace of defense... and he didn't know the true strength of the flame fern. It was a waste of such a powerful existence to guard the salt mine, or It should protect Xicheng.

However, it is extremely cold in winter, and it is impossible to send soldiers to guard the rock salt mine.

Let's get through this winter first.

Ye Xi withdrew his thoughts, spent some time, found the two scared falcons, and ordered them to continue guarding the cave.

Although the flame fern can guarantee the absolute safety here, if the falcon bird is not there, Xicheng will not know what happened here.

The two falcons were really frightened, they flew down unsteadily, Ye Xi comforted them: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you, if you feel cold, you can still stand on it keep warm."

He touched it just now, and the flame fern is warm now, and it feels warm and comfortable to the touch.

The two falcons didn't know whether they understood or not, they all glanced at the shining flaming fern all over the mountain, and then continued to stand next to each other tremblingly, their appearance was pitiful, like Two tender cabbages in the wind and snow.

Ye Xi wanted to laugh when he saw it, and after repeated consolations to no avail, he became ruthless, left them mercilessly, and left here with Jiaojiao and the big hawk.

...

Back in Xicheng, Ye Xi settled Jiaojiao in the underground cave of the Zhi tribe, thought for a while, and walked slowly along the stone road to A Zhi's residence.

Azhi's house is located on the top of the hill.

Dozens of ancient mulberry trees were transplanted from the forest, making it look green.

In fact, mulberry trees would lose their leaves in winter, but Xie used witch power to help these ancient mulberry trees continue to maintain their vitality, so that they can still have luxuriant branches and leaves in this cold weather, and the pavilion is like a cover, and Azhi can also have mulberry leaves in winter can eat.

The fireplace inside the house was burning fiercely, and as soon as the door was opened, a gust of hot air rushed towards Ye Xi's body, dispelling the chill from Ye Xi's body.

At this moment, Azhi was sitting on the animal skin blanket by the fireplace, quietly weaving silk clothes.

Snow-white long hair dragged on the ground.

Countless bright silks intertwine and stick around like a spider web, and the half-woven silk clothes are hung in the air by these silks, and Ah Zhi wraps a few silks with his hands, and weaves rapidly in the air.

Her movements when weaving silk clothes are like playing a harp, with a certain rhythm, which looks very graceful.

"Brother Ye Xi!"

Ah Zhi turned her head and saw Ye Xi was very pleasantly surprised, immediately stopped what she was doing, and jumped up to smile at him.

Ye Xi straightened her up, but frowned: "Don't worry about silk clothes, don't spin silk anymore, let's have a good rest for a while."

When the city was first built, in order to control so many slaves of the Zhi tribe, Ah Zhi vomited out all the silk in his body, and finally his face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't walk steadily. No, it took a full two days and two nights of sleep to recover.

This sleep frightened Ye Xi, and he never dared to let Ah Zhi spit silk like this again, so he repeatedly told her to rest well.

"It's okay, I'm idle and I'm idle, don't worry about me, it's been so long, I'm all well now." A Zhi lowered his eyes and his tone became low as he spoke, "I just... Some want Sangcanling, some want Asang."

Ye Xi persuaded: "Winter is coming, now is not the time for you to go back."

Silkworm girls are creatures that are extremely afraid of the cold. At the end of autumn, they spin a lot of silk, wrap themselves in white cocoons, and then fall into a deep sleep. They will not wake up until the weather turns warm.

Ye Xi touched her little head and said, "Even if you go back after weaving the silkworm clothes, what you will see are the white cocoons of Ah Sang and the others. Why don't you spend a warm winter here and reunite with them again."

Azhi remained silent.

Ye Xi thought for a while and said, "You haven't seen what snow looks like yet, have you?"

A Zhi suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickering slightly.

Ye Xi smiled secretly in his heart, and continued in a coaxing tone: "Snow is pure white. In winter, they will float down from the sky like flower petals. After a lot of snow, the ground will be covered with a layer of snow." The snow is so thick that it is so soft that your feet will sink in if you step on it."

"If you wear thicker clothes, you can still lie down and roll in the snow, or make a big snowball!"

"There is a fireplace and a kang here, which can help you survive the cold winter. You will not have such a rare opportunity when you return to Mulberry Ridge in the future."

A Zhi imagined that scene, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally regained his spirits, and said expectantly: "Brother Ye Xi, I want to see the snow!"
