Chapter 72: Longing for Rice

  At night, Kasa gently persuaded Yao Nu for a long time. It can also be said that he did what the old leader should do. Yao Nu also thoroughly settled down. She seemed to still not accept the fact that her entire hand was cut off. She stared blankly at her arm, looking very pitiful. It's really enough to make people feel both sympathy and hatred for her.

  The next morning, they continued on their journey using the leftover food from last night. Yao Nu's physical strength had not yet recovered and she still needed to be carried by Ri Xiang and Ba Jin.

  A large piece of black bear skin was under her. It had already been caught and was a bit tattered. They didn't know how to make a stretcher, so they just put the girl on the animal hide and grabbed the edges of it. Actually, this way of carrying someone is uncomfortable for both parties. The person being carried is uncomfortable, and the people doing the carrying are also exhausted. Before long, the girl was yelling that she was uncomfortable and wanted to rest.

  The eight strong men are jumping with rage. Pointing at the young lady, they shout loudly: You lie on the animal hide being carried by us and still dare to complain. For whom do we get so tired?

  In short, I'm just not comfortable. Either you carry me. Yao Nu said with a wronged tone. Thinking that no one had ever yelled at her like this before. Tears fell without realizing it.

  The quiet Silmara couldn't help but curl her lip: This woman is really troublesome.

  His voice was very small, so Mo Yuer and Xiao Rong heard it next to him. Mo Yuer frowned slightly. Indeed, Yao Nu was quite troublesome.

  I don't want to carry you on my back. Eight Jin directly refused. He didn't want to have close contact with Yao Nu. It was taken for granted. Xiang Ri also refused to come down. If he had a little good feeling towards Yao Nu before, after this trip, what's left is only disgust.

  Waaah... I don't care. It's so hard to bear. Yao Niang burst into loud wailing. After being hurt, her temperament has changed a lot. She used to be taciturn and now she gets agitated at the slightest provocation.

  Kasa was in a dilemma. Nowadays, girls are no longer obedient just by scolding them. He looked at Mo Yier for help, hoping she could assist him.

  Indeed, Mo Yu'er had a way to make Yao Niang more comfortable. She spoke up, not for Yao Niang's sake, but so that everyone's ears could be clearer. Ba Jin, go find two sturdy branches and some vines.

  You. What are you going to do? Hearing Mo Yi'er say this, Yao Nu felt a little afraid. No matter how she struggled, she knew that now everyone listened to Mo Yi'er's words.

  Mo Yu'er just gave her a faint glance, ignoring her. She didn't need to report to Yao Nu about what she was doing.

  Ba Jin and Xiang Ri obediently went to find branches and vines. The others rested in place for a while. Yao Nu looked at Mo Yi Er with great fear, but didn't ask anything.

  Not long after, Ba Jin and Xiang Ri returned with branches and vines. Mo Yi'er had them cross the vines over two branches spaced half a meter apart. On top of that, they laid out animal hides. A simple stretcher was thus made. To prevent Yao Nu from getting on and falling off, Mo Yi'er sat on it first to test it. "You guys lift me up and try," he said.

  Bajin and Xiangri, one in front and one behind, worked together seamlessly to lift Moyi'er up. They took two steps, without much effort. Moyi'er, you're really clever. This thing is quite good for carrying Yaonv.

  Mo Yu'er smiled and nodded: Now we can set off.

  Yao Nu's heart was not willing to lie on Mo Yi'er's "invention". The group continued on their journey. However, Yao Nu couldn't help but mutter: If you're really kind-hearted, why don't you let me ride your colorful wings?

  Yao Nu's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make everyone hear. Mo Yier couldn't help but rise up in anger again. She glanced at Cai Feng'er who was slowly following behind the team and sneered in her heart: With your behavior, you're also worthy of riding my Cai Feng'er.

  Xī mò lā cǐ kè zǒu zài mò yì ér de zuǒ biān. Xiào yán: nǐ ā, nà ge dōng xī shì zěn me xiǎng de. Zhēn shì gè cōng míng de nǚ rén.

  Translation:

  Silk Mo walked on the left side of Mo Yi'er. Smiling, she said: "You, how did you think of that thing? You're really a clever woman."

  We've had this kind of thing for a long time. Mo Yier's mind was elsewhere as she replied. Now Sila also knows that she is "dropped from the sky" and naturally thinks she is a divine being. She can also speak so recklessly now.

  The gods are indeed wise. Indeed. The color of Xiāng's face changed slightly, and the gaze at Mò Yì ér was unconsciously filled with reverence. At the same time, there was also a subtle feeling in her heart that she felt Mò Yì ér was worthy of being the woman she had taken notice of.

  Mo Ye, what do you want to eat tonight? Xiao Rong doesn't like Si Mu La always talking to Mo Ye, so he can't help but interrupt. He's now used to calling Mo Ye 'Mo Ye' instead of 'Master'.

  It's still so early now, and you're already thinking about dinner.

  Yeah, what do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll hunt it down for you right away. Xiao Rongqiu smiled and winked at Mo Yier, electrifying her. Mo Yier was instantly mesmerized and lost all sense of self. Damn it! This demon is indeed the Golden Lion.

  "Hmph, look at them like that. Xī Mèi Lā coldly snorted. In her heart, she was jealous to death. And Mò Yì ér also had his cold snort pull back his spirit. His face felt a bit hot. In his heart, he secretly scolded: damned little downy ball, in broad daylight, you're already putting on the moves and making people lose face."

  As expected, the next moment, Ao Jiao Si Mu La spoke up: I really didn't expect that Mo Yi Er, you are still this kind of woman who only looks at appearances. This friend of yours doesn't look bad.

  Although it's a compliment to Xiao Gege, it doesn't sound right when you hear it, but you don't know how to refute it either.

  Don't mind him, think about what you want to eat quickly. The jungle of the Lamu tribe is indeed very rich. Whatever you want to eat, it's all here. Xiao Rong walks over and blocks Mo Yi'er's gaze towards Si Mula.

  "Hmm... I really can't think of what to eat. If only there was rice, that would be great. Even just a simple side dish of pickled vegetables would do. Mo Yi's mind recalled the food she had eaten before and couldn't help but swallow her saliva."

  "Huh? What's rice and salted vegetables? Mo Yier, you tell me clearly and I'll go find it for you. Xiao Rong sees Mo Yier rarely yearn for food like this. Immediately expressed willingness to go find it."

  Alas, this rice is indeed a rare and precious thing. It grows like grass, about yea high. When it's mature, it's golden yellow. You have to harvest the ears of grain and then husk them to get the rice... Mo Yier had never farmed before, so she racked her brains to recall what little knowledge she had about paddy rice.

  There are many grasses as tall as this, but I've never heard of any ears of grain. Silmara thought seriously about it too. At least in the territory of the Lunghua tribe, he had never found anything like this before.

  Alas, perhaps it's not like that here. Mo Yuer thought of her own Sichuan peppercorns, aren't they different from ordinary chili peppers too? Truly don't know if in this lifetime she can still eat fragrant rice.

  "Hmph. Slander confuses the masses. Yao Nu has started muttering to herself again. This time, everyone chose to ignore her. It's really not worth arguing with a sick person."
