The meat porridge made gurgling sounds in the stone pot, and the fragrance instantly filled the entire cave. If Jiujiu had not told Bai Bai that the meat porridge was prepared for that child, Bai Bai would have wanted to eat the meat porridge.
The child woke up amidst the enticing aroma.
The first thing the child felt when he woke up was that it smelled so good.
The second thing he felt was that he no longer felt uncomfortable.
Although his body was sticky because of his sweat, he didn't feel the heart-wrenching pain from before.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the cave was still dark and shabby, but it seemed to be different from before because there was warmth.
After his senses recovered, the child felt that the ground below him was not as hard as before. Instead, it was soft and warm, and he seemed to be covered with a blanket.
The boy turned his head slightly and saw Jiujiu not far away, as well as the steaming minced meat porridge.
Sensing that the child had woken up, Jiujiu turned her head and smiled. "You're awake."
The child blinked as if he had not woken up from his coma. His eyes were misty.
Jiujiu smiled. "Since you're awake, come and eat. Go back to sleep after you're full."
The child looked at Jiujiu with bright eyes. His eyes were full of vigilance, but his vigilance could not overcome his hunger. He crawled out of the soft and warm blanket and sat beside Jiujiu.
Jiujiu passed the spoon that she made from a tree branch to the child and pointed at the stone pot above the fire. "Eat, it's hot."
After Jiujiu was done, she cut off a rabbit's leg and threw it to Bai who was lying at the side.
Bai immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the rabbit's leg. After eating it, he looked at the rabbit that was still above the fire.
Seeing Bai's greedy look, Jiujiu was annoyed. "What are you looking at? I haven't eaten yet. Once I'm done, the rest will be yours."
Only then did Bai reluctantly move his eyes away.
It was only then that the child noticed that other than Jiujiu, there was also Bai, a large ferocious beast.
The child instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and his face turned deathly pale.
Sensing the child's tense body, Jiujiu cut the rabbit's body with a knife so that the rabbit could cook faster. "Bai is my pet. It doesn't bite."
Only then did the child realize that if Bai really ate people, he would have died long ago. How could he wait until now? Only then did he relax and eat the minced meat porridge with a spoon.
The child drank the minced meat porridge while Jiujiu ate the roasted rabbit.
Jiujiu was only seven years old at the moment. She had a huge appetite because she had been starving all year round. Jiujiu could not eat anymore after eating a rabbit leg. She threw the rest of the barbecued meat to Bai Bai.
Bai didn't mind the leftover barbecued meat from Jiujiu and gobbled it all up.
After eating, Bai licked his lips with his pink tongue and curled up next to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu lay in Bai's arms. Bai immediately covered Jiujiu's body with his fluffy tail. Bai's tail was fluffy and soft like a blanket.
Jiujiu lay on Bai's soft and warm stomach. Sleepiness overwhelmed her and she yawned immediately.
She used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears that seeped out due to tiredness. She looked at the child who was eating the minced meat porridge and asked, "What's your name?"
If the child was still wary of Jiujiu earlier, his vigilance disappeared after eating the minced meat porridge. Instead, it was replaced by a strong attachment.
Just like how chickens and ducks would see their mother first when they opened their eyes, the child saw Jiujiu first when he woke up and subconsciously regarded Jiujiu as someone he could attach himself to.
The child stopped eating the minced meat porridge and looked at Jiujiu. "Wang Yiqiu."
"Wang Yiqiu?" Jiujiu repeated Wang Yiqiu's name and said, "My name is Jiujiu."
"Jiujiu." Wang Yiqiu repeated Jiujiu's name and looked at Jiujiu deeply as if he wanted to engrave Jiujiu's appearance in his heart.
After knowing the name of the person he saved, Jiujiu yawned and said, "Go to sleep after you're done eating. You still have to wake up early tomorrow."
Wang Yiqiu turned to look at the animal skin and blanket that he was lying on. He glanced at Jiujiu who was sleeping against Bai and the sweet porridge in his mouth became bland. Wang Yiqiu moved his lips. "Why don't you sleep over there?"
He was a man and a man should stand tall. How could a man like him sleep under a soft blanket and let a lady sleep outside?
Jiujiu did not expect Wang Yiqiu to be so considerate. She was instantly delighted and sat up from Bai's arms. She pointed at Bai and asked, "Do you dare to sleep on Bai?"
Although Bai looked like a wolf now, his head was almost as big as a bear. His white fangs were like sharp knives, glinting coldly in the firelight.
Wang Yiqiu instantly fell silent.
He did not dare to.
However, Wang Yiqiu could not bear to let Jiujiu sleep outside alone. He said, "Why don't we sleep together?"
After saying this, Wang Yiqiu instantly felt that his words were inappropriate. He quickly explained, "You sleep on the inside and I'll sleep on the side."
He would stay far away from Jiujiu and would not take advantage of Jiujiu.
Wang Yiqiu's persistence amused Jiujiu so much that she could not help but laugh.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Wang Yiqiu and said, "I'm not cold. You can sleep peacefully."
After Jiujiu was done, she yawned lazily and rubbed her head against Bai's stomach. Bai immediately cooperated and changed his position so that Jiujiu could sleep more comfortably.
Looking at Jiujiu and Bai's interaction, Wang Yiqiu knew that his suggestion was unnecessary for Jiujiu, so he did not continue to insist.
After dinner, Wang Yiqiu took the initiative to clean up the dishes before going back to sleep.
The next morning, Wang Yiqiu was woken up by Jiujiu.
Jiujiu threw a cotton-padded coat to Wang Yiqiu and instructed Wang Yiqiu to put it on. "Wear it.
Otherwise, you'll be cold later. "
Wang Yiqiu had just recovered from a serious illness, so he immediately changed into the cotton-padded coat.
After putting on the cotton-padded coat, Wang Yiqiu stood behind Jiujiu like an attendant and waited for Jiujiu's orders.
Jiujiu took Wang Yiqiu outside to pick up firewood.
The two of them picked up all the branches near the cave and brought them into the cave. Jiujiu told them to stay in the cave and not go out. Then she took Bai to hunt.
After two hours, Jiujiu brought back two rabbits, a pheasant and a ginseng.
Jiujiu threw everything on the ground and smiled. "This ginseng can be used to nourish your body."
In the past, Wang Yiqiu would definitely not care about this ginseng. However, at this moment, in this deep mountain forest covered by snow, there was one person who cared about him the most.
This palm-sized ginseng was more precious than the so-called thousand-year-old ginseng.
