Go through the wild and seek life

Chapter 25
"Ye, I can't go back, I'm going to find the oil turtle, it's very important!"

Ye didn't say a word, just carried her back and walked back. His idea was very simple, he should go home when he was injured, and come out when he recovered.

How could Rudama agree? After traveling so far, she was poisoned and injured, and after paying such a high price, if she didn't find the oil turtle again, wouldn't she be losing money?So he beat and bit Ye, and finally made Ye compromise, and continued to look for the oil turtle behind her back.

Rudama was carried by the night, and walked for about an hour, the vegetation gradually became thinner, and the channel of the stream became much wider.Rudama patted Ye on the shoulder and asked him to sit down and rest.On the other hand, he hopped on one leg to drink water from the stream. Before he could reach the water, Rudama felt as if he had stepped into a pit, his feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

"hiss!"

Rudama sat on the ground, rubbed his feet while grinning, but luckily he didn't sprain.The left foot is swollen, and if the right foot is sprained, she will be really useless.When I go home today, I must pile up dirt and worship God.What's wrong with her recently, she's backed a little bit, and she's worn to this place where the birds don't shit, and she's chased by the python, and she's poisoned, I don't know which god she offended.

After secretly complaining in his heart, Rudama patted his buttocks and planned to stand up.Holding the ground with my hands, I felt as if I had touched something round. I grabbed it and saw it was an egg!
Buried in the moist soil where Rudama had fallen were seven eggs, each the size of a hand's hand, oval in shape, with patterns resembling spots.

What animal lays its eggs near water and digs holes to bury them?

snake?
No, the snake lays its eggs in the pit, but it will stay there until the baby snake is born before leaving.If this is a snake egg, let yourself smash it like this, the snake mother would have come out to play with her.

It's certainly not an alligator.The nests where crocodiles lay eggs are all made of weeds and leaves, and here is moist soil.

Is this a turtle egg?So could it be the oil turtle?
Rudama's big apricot-core eyes suddenly flashed brightly.Excited, she called Ye over, but Ye had already come to her side when she fell down.

"Ye, what do you think this is?"

Rudama held up the egg in his hand and showed it to Ye.

Ye seemed to have a grudge against this egg, took the egg with a look of disgust, and threw it hard on the stone with a "snap".

The egg rolled onto the sandy river beach and jumped twice, but it didn't break, it was really strong.

Rudama picked it up, held it in his hand and looked carefully, and there was a crack.He took out the bone knife and knocked hard at the crack.After a few strokes a small hole appeared, and greasy egg liquid flowed out of it.

Rudama wondered, if this is the egg of the oil turtle, would it also have a combustion-supporting effect?Thinking of this, she poured some egg liquid on a flat stone slab, took off the crystal pendant on her neck, and adjusted the angle to the egg liquid.Soon there was a curl of light smoke rising, and small blue-green flames could be faintly seen.

"Ye, look, look, egg liquid can also ignite fire, that's great, you know, it's great."

Rudama jumped three feet high, hugging Ye's neck and shouting happily.He had long forgotten his swollen left foot like a pig's trotter.

Ye has a dull face and doesn't know why.But seeing Rudama laugh happily, he also laughed twice.

Knowing that these are oil turtle eggs, Rudama can be sure that this area should be the active area of ​​oil turtles. As far as she knows, turtles live in groups. If there are turtle eggs, there must be turtles. If there are turtles, there must be a group.As for how the single oil turtle got to their door a few days ago, Rudama couldn't explain it, so it must have been lost.

Rudama put the oil turtle eggs into the animal skin backpack, and limped to wade into the water to find the oil turtle.But Ye stubbornly carried it on his shoulder to stop him.

Ye's thinking is very simple, and his behavior is also very direct.He thinks that you can't do something, so he will take action to stop it decisively, and won't waste words with you.Of course, Rudama couldn't understand what he was going to say, but his actions were simple and clear.

At this moment, Rudama's injured foot was swollen, and it was impossible for Ye to let her touch the water.

Rudama lay on Ye's shoulders, pouted his buttocks, and started negotiating with Ye's lower back.

"Ye! You put me down quickly, I have business to do, I want to find oil turtles! Find oil turtles that can support the combustion, we need to use them for the winter, it is very important!"

Ye ignored Rudama, carried her lightly onto a huge rock, and said "hulu" to her twice before turning around and walking towards the stream.

Rudama leaned on her chin and frowned.

Does Ye know what she is looking for?

Soon, Ye gave her the answer.He hugged a black thing with a slapped head and cut off its tail.He still said vaguely in his mouth: "Gu! Gu!"

What?Is this calling her?The corners of Rudama's eyes twitched, her flower-like twenties are not going to get better, she looks like his aunt...

Before he finished complaining, Rudama realized in an instant, was Ye talking about "turtle"?
This... night can make a sound?She knew that there was an incompletely ossified "hyoid bone" in the leopard's throat, which could make them make sounds different from other animals, but wouldn't this "hyoid bone" affect his vocalization?

If Ye can pronounce normally, can she teach Ye her own language?After getting along for many days, Rudama can feel that Ye has his own language.But there are many flaws, most of which require physical cooperation to describe, and many abstract things cannot be expressed.

And it's been a long time since I've seen any of my kindred appear in the night, and his language can be completely ignored.Teach him his own language, wouldn't it be convenient to communicate in the future!
You can talk to someone, and you don't have to talk to yourself like a fool every day.In fact, Rudama was afraid that after staying in this world for a long time, he would gradually forget his own language.

"aunt!"

Seeing that Rudama didn't respond at night, he blinked his dark purple eyes. Was what he said wrong?Why did Rudama ignore herself?After thinking about it, I made a sound again.Thus recalling Rudama, the wandering god Taixu.

"Ye! It's not 'aunt'! It's 'turtle' tortoise!" Rudama decided that she would teach Ye Xue how to speak.

"Aunt?"

"Turtle, gui turtle!"

"Aunt?"

"turtle!"

The two of them squatted like this for half a day by the stream "Gu Gu Gui Gui".

"turtle?"

"By the way, Ye, you are awesome! Turtle!"

Rudama hugged Ye's big head happily and kissed her.

Facing Rudama's sudden closeness, Ye was stunned for a few seconds, then followed her example, and imprinted her lips on Rudama's forehead.

After kissing, I felt that it was not enough, so I licked it again.

"Naughty cat! You're a quick learner!"
