Chapter 60 Thank you for your kindness
Qinghe’s face was covered in red bumps from mosquito bites. They hadn’t even spared his eyes and mouth, leaving a string of bites. His eyelids and mouth were swollen quite high. He already had small, fleshy eyes, and with the help of the mosquitoes, they had formed a barely visible slit. “Hahaha, Qinghe, how did you end up looking like this?”
Ye Chen burst into laughter, unable to straighten up. Qinghe angrily punched him with his fist, but he didn’t use much force. “It’s all because of these mosquitoes. I don’t want to stay here and feed the mosquitoes anymore.” Qinghe’s suggestion was also what Jiang Li and Ye Chen were thinking. “Alright, then let’s go and deal with this rabbit, roast it and eat it.” “Good.” The three of them built a fire a short distance away. Afraid of being discovered by the Leopard tribe people, they didn’t dare to go too close to the tribe. Qinghe was skilled at handling the rabbit, as if he often did this kind of thing, he cleaned the rabbit’s fur very thoroughly.
“This rabbit is fat, it’s all meat!” “Amazing.” Jiang Li gave a thumbs up in praise. “Who did you learn this from? You cleaned it so well.” Facing Jiang Li’s praise, Qinghe also smiled modestly. “I often deal with these, I’ve got experience.” Ye Chen took the cleaned rabbit from him and put it on the fire to roast. The moon was high in the sky, the fire in front of them crackled, and the roasting rabbit also sizzled. It was oozing with oil, making people’s appetites grow, their mouths watering. Qinghe, who had just left, came back carrying two jugs of wine and porcelain bowls.
“Good food needs good wine, otherwise it’s missing something.” He said, opening the wine and pouring it into the bowls one by one. Just as he was pouring into the third bowl, Ye Chen reached out and stopped his action. “Jiang Li is still injured, she can’t drink.
” Jiang Li, who was staring intently at the wine in Qinghe’s hand, was a little unwilling after hearing this. After all, she still wanted to taste the wine here and see what was different about it. “I’m fine, I can have a little.” “No, it’s not good for your wound.
” Ye Chen refused without hesitation. “I’ll just have a little, it won’t affect anything.” She looked at Ye Chen with pleading eyes. Seeing her begging him, Ye Chen’s heart softened. He sighed and took the wine from Qinghe’s hand. “Alright, agreed, just a little.” “Yeah, okay.” Ye Chen poured her a small bowl of wine, even though it was a small amount, Jiang Li was very happy. After all, she just wanted to taste the flavor, a little sip to enjoy the moment.
She picked up the bowl and took a small sip. The taste was no different from the wine in the modern world. It was a little spicy and sweet at first, then slowly savored, it was endless aftertaste, full of wine aroma. On the other hand, Ye Chen and Qinghe, the rabbit wasn’t even roasted yet, and they had already started drinking bowl after bowl. “Hey, you two, drink less, if you get drunk, I can’t carry you back.” Jiang Li kindly reminded them. “
Don’t worry, we won’t get drunk with just this little bit of wine.” Ye Chen wiped his mouth with the back of his hand in a carefree manner and continued drinking with Qinghe. When there was only one jug of wine left, the rabbit was roasted. Ye Chen first gave Jiang Li a rabbit leg to gnaw on. “Delicious!” She took a bite, the delicious meat made her praise it endlessly. Ye Chen watched her eat deliciously, his eyebrows curved slightly, he smiled faintly and then continued to eat meat and drink wine with Qinghe. “Jiang Li, I want to ask you a question.” Jiang Li was busy gnawing on the rabbit leg, seeing Ye Chen talking to her, she didn’t even lift her head. “Seeing how you were willing to leave despite your wound the other day, what were you doing?” “Looking for someone.”
“Looking for someone?” Ye Chen and Qinghe were both curious. Ye Chen’s eyes stared straight at Jiang Li’s face, his throat bobbed up and down, he pursed his lips slightly and asked gently. “Who are you looking for?” Jiang Li thought for a moment, “My child’s father.” Hearing this, Ye Chen and Qinghe’s faces both showed expressions of disbelief.
“Hmm? Child? You have a child?” Qinghe exclaimed in a flustered way. “What? Doesn’t it look like it?” Jiang Li raised her eyes, looking at the two stunned men in confusion. “No, it doesn’t look like it at all.” The two shook their heads at the same time, answering in unison. Hearing this answer, Jiang Li laughed, “Just take it as you complimenting me, but I do have a child, maybe it’s because I’ve been resting well, that’s why you can’t tell.” She turned her head and continued to eat. Ye Chen lowered his eyes slightly. When he looked up at Jiang Li’s profile, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. “What tribe is he from? Where are you going to find him?
” Jiang Li paused her movements. “I can’t tell you that.” Sensing that Jiang Li’s tone was a little unhappy, Ye Chen was a little flustered, he quickly changed his words. “Well… I mean, we can also help you find him, is there anything we can do?” Qinghe looked at Ye Chen in bewilderment. He couldn’t understand why he suddenly took on this task.
Jiang Li threw the finished bone on the ground, turned her head and smiled at Ye Chen. “Thank you for your kindness, but no need, I can handle it myself.” She didn’t want anyone else to be involved, after all, Jun Yue Lan’s identity was different, the fewer people who knew, the safer it was. Seeing Jiang Li refuse him, Ye Chen lowered his eyes in disappointment and softly “ed. But soon, this disappointment didn’t last long. As if he had thought of something, he looked at Jiang Li with renewed enthusiasm. “Right, did you get lost when you passed by here?” “Yeah, what’s wrong?” “Well, tell us where you’re going, and we can point you in the right direction. This place is surrounded by trees on all sides, people with a poor sense of direction can easily get lost.”
Ye Chen’s words were very accurate, after all, she had been circling around for several circles the first night and hadn’t flown out. If she didn’t ask them, she would probably waste more time on the journey, and she didn’t know what other trouble she might encounter. After hesitating for a while, Jiang Li finally spoke, “I’m going back to the Bird tribe.
But to go back to the Bird tribe, I have to pass by the Sana River. I flew for half a day and still couldn’t find the Sana River, so I got lost.” Ye Chen picked up a branch nearby, drew on the ground while explaining the location to Jiang Li. “Actually, the Sana River isn’t that far from here. Look, this is the Leopard tribe, in front of you is a forest even bigger than this, fly northeast from here…”
After Ye Chen explained this, Jiang Li realized that she had taken a detour and arrived at the Leopard tribe. No wonder she had been flying for so long, she had already entered the Leopard tribe’s territory, but still hadn’t seen the Sana River. Seeing that Jiang Li understood, Ye Chen threw away the stick in his hand. “I’m warning you, be careful when you pass by the Sana River, there are ferocious mermen inside, don’t get caught by them.”
