Across the Ancients: Wild Beastman Haunted

Chapter 421 Cocoon

Chapter 421 Cocoon

Bi Zhuo took the cub back to the cave, holding a lot of dead branches in his arms that could light a fire.

However, as soon as he entered the cave, he noticed that something was wrong with Adora's face, she sat quietly in a corner, looking at Luo Gu and the others.

And Luo Gu and his spouse are playing with the grass in front of them, they don't know what they are doing.

"There are very few prey that can be hunted around here. We're afraid we'll have to go to other places to look." Bi Zhuo said as he placed the dead tree branch in the open space in the middle of the cave.

Hearing Bi Zhuo's voice, Chi Zhenzhen raised his head and glanced at him. He only brought back dead branches, not prey.

"Brother, I remember that there are many fruit trees nearby, I can eat fruit at night." Adora said.

"How can I do that, I can't get enough of the fruit." Bi Zhuo refused.

Chi Zhenzhen could tell that what he said just now was to Luo Gu, and it was quite deliberate.

"Brother, shall I go hunting with you?" After speaking, Adora stood up.

Chi Zhenzhen pursed his lips, looked at Luo Gu and whispered, "Why don't you go hunting with Bi Zhuo?"

"Why?" Luo Gu had no intention of going there at all.

"Didn't he just say that there are very few prey that can be hunted nearby, and it's getting dark, so it's easier to find prey with one more person." Chi Zhen said seriously, "Adora and I are You can eat fruit to fill your belly, but you can't."

Luo Gu glanced at her and motioned her to look at Bi Zhuo and Adora, who were going to go hunting together.

This made Chi Zhenzhen feel even more embarrassed, and she couldn't say anything more, so she could only watch the two of them leave the cave.

After confirming that they left, Chi Zhenzhen asked, "You really want to do this to Bi Zhuo and his sister?"

"what?"

"Don't ask questions knowingly."

Luo Gu laughed, apparently understanding the meaning of what she said just now: "Little thing, do you have any opinions?"

How could she dare to have any opinion, he and Bi Zhuo were friends who had a life-long relationship, but Bi Zhuo's words just now were actually meant to be angry.

There is no other reason for this anger, it is because of Adora.

Adora is the beloved sister of Bi Zhuo's Muxiu patriarch. She is her own sister. Even the best friend would not bear to let her suffer some grievances.

And they haven't arrived at Piaoxue Valley yet, and they haven't got the whereabouts of Yan Lingsiyu yet, anyway, they still need Adora's help, not to mention their friendship when they were young, for Bi Zhuo's sake, they should also be upset better.

Of course, she couldn't just tell Luo Gu this idea directly, otherwise Luo Gu's unyielding temper would be difficult to deal with.

"I don't dare to have any opinions, I just feel that Bi Zhuo was a little unhappy just now." Chi Zhenzhen reminded him from the side, "He wants to take his sister and protect her to accompany you into Huadie Mountain to find Yan Lingsi Yu, now you are still working as a coolie to pick up branches and hunt, how hard it is."

After hearing this, Luo Gu pretended to think for a moment, and said, "Well, it was quite hard work."

"Really." Chi Zhenzhen looked at his expression, wondering if he understood her implication.

Luo Gu didn't speak any more, but continued to help her twist the grass.

Chi Zhenzhen also fell silent, making straw sandals seriously.

She knitted the base of the straw sandals first, and then looked at Luo Gu's bare feet.

His feet were not too clean, after all, he walked barefoot on the ground and on the dirt, but his feet were very well-shaped, and if they were cleaned, they would not lose to any foot model.

"What's wrong?" Luo Gu asked as she watched her staring at his feet.

"Look at the size." Chi Zhenzhen got closer again, and stretched out his hand to make a rough gesture.

Luo Gu frowned slightly, but did not stop her.

Chi Zhenzhen looked closer and was startled.

These feet only looked beautiful on the surface. There was a thick layer of calluses on the soles of his feet, and the calluses were thicker than expected.

"Does it hurt?" Chi Zhenzhen slowly stretched out his hand to hold his ankle and asked.

Luo Gu was slightly stunned, not knowing why she asked such a question suddenly.

"This cocoon must have been very painful when it formed." She didn't believe that people would be born with such a thick cocoon.

"What is a cocoon?" Luo Gu asked seriously.

Chi Zhenzhen was still feeling distressed by the cocoon he had formed, and almost laughed when he heard him ask this question.

"It's something that grows on the soles of your feet. It's hard." Chi Zhenzhen explained to him.

Luo Gu looked down and understood: "It doesn't hurt."

"Does it really hurt or pretend it doesn't hurt? Even if there are calluses on the soles of the feet, they will be punctured and injured when they encounter sharp objects." Chi Zhenzhen said.

"Then have you ever seen me get hurt?" Luo Gu asked back.

Um, thinking about it, it seems not.

"This cocoon is something we all had to form when we were young, and we are used to it." Luo Gu explained as much as possible following her words.

Chi Zhenzhen sighed silently in his heart, it is really not easy for people to survive in such a dangerous environment.

"However." Luo Gu changed the topic, looked at her feet wearing shoes with doubts, "Why don't you have calluses on the soles of your feet?"

Chi Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he touched her feet when he went to Chi Fangu to cross the lake, and praised her for their beautiful feet.

"Because I have shoes." Chi Zhenzhen showed him the shoes, "Didn't I explain it to you during the day? Shoes exist to protect the soles of the feet from injury."

Luo Gu understood, but still felt that the straw sandals she made were unnecessary.

"I'll do it first. If you like it, you can wear it. If you don't like it, I won't force it." Chi Zhenzhen took the approximate size of his feet and continued to weave straw sandals.

Soon, a pair of simple straw sandals was completed in her hands.

"Look, how about it?" Chi Zhenzhen put the straw sandals in front of him happily, "Do you want me to try them on for you?"

Luo Gu wanted to refuse, but when she heard that she said personally, he nodded: "Okay."

Chi Zhenzhen put the straw sandals in front of his feet, grabbed his ankles and put his feet in gently, explaining how to wear the straw sandals while putting them on.

"Okay, stand up and take a look." Chi Zhenzhen clapped his hands, looking forward to his reaction.

Luo Gu stood up, looked down at the grass covering his feet, feeling very strange.

"Try to walk first." Chi Zhenzhen knew that it was his first time wearing shoes, and he would definitely not get used to it. "You can pretend that you have nothing on your feet, and just walk as normal."

Luo Gu tried to take two steps according to her words, which felt very strange, and it was not his favorite feeling.

Chi Zhenzhen stared at his movements and expressions. He seemed to be very resistant to the straw sandals on his feet, with resistance written all over his face.

It seems that he really can't be forced to come. Thinking about it in another way, this is equivalent to letting her, who has been wearing shoes since she was a child, suddenly take off her shoes and run around in the wilderness.

"How do you feel?" Despite this, Chi Zhenzhen asked with a little expectation.
