CIATB Chapter 220 Unlucky Xiaochi
Chapter 220 Unlucky Xiaochi
Li Heng straightened up, and after thinking for a moment, he really thought of something.
"Well, you guys help me collect some cinnamon tree fruits."
After speaking, Li Heng picked a few cinnamon seeds from the top of an older cinnamon tree.
These cinnamon seeds are several times larger than soybeans, and their appearance has turned purple-black, and the flesh is also very soft.
When you peel off the pulp, you can see the dark, hard seeds hidden inside.
This means they are ripe and ready to be picked.
Li Heng plans to collect some cinnamon seeds and plant them on Xiaochu Peak, so that they will be more convenient to use in the future.
After explaining the situation to the girls, they each held a small basket and went to pick fruits according to Li Heng's request.
Peeling off tree bark is a simple and boring job. In order to allow these cinnamon trees to continue growing, Li Heng did not peel off the entire circle of cinnamon bark.
Instead, a small section of bark two fingers wide was deliberately left to transport nutrients, so that the cinnamon tree would not die due to lack of nutrients.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Heng's hand holding the knife became a little sore, and then he stopped.
I looked back at the cinnamon bark I had peeled off. It was estimated to be hundreds of kilograms, which should be enough for a while.
"Junior Brother Li, have we picked enough?"
At this moment, the girls who went to pick cinnamon seeds came out carrying a basket full of cinnamon seeds. Su Lingxuan shook the basket in her hand and asked Li Hengdao.
"Well, that's enough."
Li Heng took the basket from everyone. The basket of cinnamon seeds weighed about five or six kilograms, which was enough to plant several acres of land.
After packing up the bark and fruits, the girls, led by Li Heng, walked aimlessly in the jungle.
But before taking a few steps, there was a discordant sound.
"Brother Li Heng, we have been walking for so long, shouldn't it be time to find a place to cook? We are too tired to walk."
Lu Xiaoxiao lay on Li Heng's back, tilting his head and resting his chin on his shoulder, weakly.
"Xiaoxiao, when you say this, do you dare to get off my back first? You have the nerve to say you are tired!"
The two little ones spent most of the time hanging on Li Heng. He was really carrying a heavy load. He should be the first to say he was tired.
"But I'm hungry."
Li Heng understood that it didn't matter whether he was tired or not. The important thing was to eat.
"Xiao Chi is hungry too."
Li Heng scratched Xiao Chi's nose and said, "You are everywhere. Such a small one has eaten so much knotweed and is still not full!"
Xiaochi was so amused that she dodged around in his arms, giggling non-stop.
"What about you? What do you say?"
After playing around with Xiao Chi for a while, Li Heng stopped and turned to ask the other women.
"We're a little hungry too, why don't we just finish our meal before leaving!"
The women's opinions were surprisingly unanimous.
"Okay, but there are woods around here and it's not convenient to make a fire. Let's walk a little further to find an open grassland and make a fire for cooking."
As an Earth star who has been on duty for nine years, Li Heng's awareness of fire prevention has long been ingrained in his bones.
"Set the mountain on fire and sit in jail."
"A fire on the mountain, police station at the foot of the mountain."
......
The warnings he saw on the Earth Star lingered in Li Heng's mind, and they reminded him all the time even in other worlds.
After walking through a forest, a piece of lawn suddenly appeared in front of me.
"This is it."
Li Heng chose a flatter place, put the two little ones down first, and then invited everyone to clean up the weeds on the ground.
Then Li Heng started to go outside and take out the ingredients he had prepared in advance.
"Why are they all vegetarian? Brother Li Heng, I want to eat meat!"
Lu Xiaoxiao saw that what Li Heng brought out were only some vegetables, which were not meaty at all, so she said coquettishly to Li Heng.
"Xiao Chi also wants to eat meat, Xiao Chi also wants to eat meat."
The two little ones, one on the left and one on the right, held Li Heng's arm and refused to let go.
"I didn't prepare any meat. If you want to eat it, you can catch it yourself. There are a lot of game in the jungle, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find any meat to eat."
Helpless Li Heng had no choice but to say to the two little ones.
"Catch it yourself. I, Lu Xiaoxiao, must eat meat today. Even if the immortal comes, he won't be able to stop me."
After putting down the cruel words, Lu Xiaoxiao pulled Xiao Chi and disappeared into the woods without looking back.
"Hehe, Xiaochi, listen to me, I think we should divide our forces into two groups and try to catch more prey?"
"Okay!"
Xiao Chi thought for a while and realized that if they acted separately, they would indeed have a chance to catch more prey, so he readily agreed to Lu Xiaoxiao's proposal.
Ever since, the two chose two opposite directions and started hunting.
Li Heng and others were not idle, but were preparing ingredients for cooking. About half the time of burning incense had passed.
"Woo~woo~"
A burst of miserable crying broke the peace of the grassland.
"This sounds like Xiaochi's voice. What's wrong with her? Is she crying so hard?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
While everyone was still wondering, there was another "rustling" sound in the woods, which was the sound of clothes rubbing against leaves.
"Brother Li Heng~"
I saw a small figure rushing out of the woods, with a hint of crying, and plunged into Li Heng's arms.
Seeing this situation, everyone gathered around Li Heng with concern, wanting to know what happened to Xiao Chi.
Could it be that he was beaten by some high-level spiritual beast?
Li Heng stretched out his hand and caught Xiao Chi. His hands immediately felt wet. When he looked down, he realized that Xiao Chi was soaked all over.
"Xiao Chi, stop crying now and tell us what happened? If you are bullied by other spiritual beasts, tell us and we will vent your anger."
Li Heng patted Xiao Chi's back and comforted him softly.
"I, I was stung by a swarm of sting-tailed wasps, woo~woo~"
Xiao Chi looked up at brother Li Heng and said pitifully.
"I go!"
When Li Heng saw Xiao Chi's face, he was startled and almost threw Xiao Chi out.
At this moment, Xiao Chi's little face was covered with big red and swollen bumps. It looked strange, but his usual cute appearance was nowhere to be seen.
In the next short period of time, Xiaochi cried and told everyone about her experience.
It turns out that the unlucky Xiao Chi accidentally encountered a sting-tailed wasp's nest while looking for prey.
Then the sting-tailed wasps in the hive probably thought that Xiao Chi's behavior was provoking them, so they raised their buttocks and attacked her.
Xiaochi couldn't dodge and was stung all over his head.
"I've obviously apologized, but they still chase me. It's simply disgusting."
Xiao Chi was a little naive and said to Li Heng with a pout, she didn't mean it.
After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Li Heng was a little dumbfounded.
