Make home in the bird's nest

Chapter 38 Red Golden Snake

When we returned to Fairy Valley, it was already dark, and after driving for a long time, the stone man was wilted again, feeling like vomiting, and his body was cold and heavy.After dragging his exhausted body to burn the bath water, he recovered a bit.

The dinner was brought back from Phoenix, and the two roasted and ate the food while burning the bath water.

Shi Wuli lay side by side under the quilt in the bird's nest, breathing a little tired.

Wu Li smelled it on his hands carefully, and felt that the smell was still sticking to his body, so he obviously changed his clothes and took a shower.

Shi Shi was too tired to move, but amused by Wu Li's actions, he lay down on his strong chest and said with a smile, "It doesn't smell, it's very clean after washing."

Wu Li wrinkled his face, finally put his hands under the quilt, and chose to keep out of sight.

"Hee hee, how do you still know to ask for money? If it's really me, the silver ingots are all with you, so I don't have any money to throw to you." Shitou smiled, remembering that their deposit had increased to 83 taels of silver, I was bubbling with happiness in my heart. With so much money in the fishing village, I was one of the richest people in the fishing village.

"We made more than a dozen taels of silver this time! Even if the bag of pine nuts is cooked and sold, it can only be sold for three or four taels of silver." But remembering what happened when he gave the handkerchief, Shitou was still a little depressed, and curled his lips.

Wu Li snorted unhappily, turned the stone over, hugged it in his arms, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Shi Shi smiled sullenly, knowing that Wu Li could see clearly at night, he tried his best to hold his face, and said casually: "What kind of female bird are you here?"

Wu Li didn't open his eyes either: "Why are you asking this?"

"Just ask, I don't think I've seen one before. Is the female bird more beautiful? Is it colorful?" Stone asked curiously.

Wu Li opened his eyes and glanced at Shi Shi: "Hey, you look better."

Shi Shi choked, but an inexplicable joy suddenly rose in his heart, and he buried his head in the quilt uncomfortably, and said in a muffled voice: "Sleep, good night."

Wu Li replied in a deep voice: "En."

The sun has risen, and the temperature has not yet warmed up, but the fog in the air has condensed into water droplets, making the woods wet and cold.

The birds also began to sleep late, the air was too humid to prevent them from flying.

The climate here is quite new to Shitou. It is not as cold as their fishing village, but the humidity is very heavy. When they slept in Phoenix, the quilts they slept on were damp, but the tree holes they lived in were still very dry and very comfortable.

After sleeping, the stone really came back to life, and I felt refreshed, and it was the most comfortable home.Wuli had already risen, and the stone knew without looking that he must be standing on the top of the tree.

"Chirp!"

The cries of chicks came from outside, Shi Shi's eyes lit up, he took out the animal skin socks from the box under the quilt, put them on, and walked towards the tree hole wrapped in the quilt.

Looking around, a jet-black thing came into view in the opposite tree hole, and the feathers of that big bird were stained with dew, making their hair even blacker.For the sake of the child, the big bird has risen up to prey at some point.

Stone held his chin in his hands and watched the big bird opposite him feed the chicks. He stretched out his head and looked up. Wu Li was indeed standing on the top of the tree.

"Wuli!" The stone shouted, and the black shadow on the top of the tree moved and flapped its wings to fly down.

Wu Li shook the dew outside before flying into the tree hole and taking human form.

Shi Shi quickly ran to the box to find Wu Li's clothes, and wanted to help him put them on from under the quilt, but Wu Li avoided it, frowning and said, "You put it on first."

"Oh." Shitou replied with a smile, and ran into the bird's nest to put on his clothes under the quilt.

Wu Li had already caught the prey, cleaned it up and locked it in the kitchen, and made breakfast directly after the stone went down.The dew was heavy outside, so the two ate in the kitchen.

After eating too much, Shi Shi felt that his belly was getting bigger. Now that he knew that he had a baby, he would not deliberately hold his belly.

Chirping chicks could be heard outside, Shi Shi casually glanced outside, thinking that the big bird must have returned.Rubbing his belly and looking at Wu Li who was dealing with his leftover food, Shi Shi smiled and said: "Let's go to collect firewood later, and we can smoke bacon while roasting in winter, the bacon is delicious. "

Wu Li took a moment to look at the stone, nodded, and continued to gobble it up.

The chirping of the chicks continued, and louder.

Strange, every time the big birds finish feeding, they will quiet down.

Stone stood up curiously, went outside and looked up, and saw faint red things moving on the tree.

Shitou was startled, and hurriedly said, "Wuli, what is that?"

Wu Li hurried out, his expression changed slightly: "There are snakes."

"Ah! So what to do? Will snakes crawl into their holes?" Stone panicked.

Wu Li said: "Some snakes like to eat bird eggs and chicks."

Shi Shi became more flustered immediately, and hurriedly took Wu Li's hand and said, "Then go and save them quickly, or they will be bitten if it is too late."

Wu Li paused, stared fixedly at the top of the tree for a while, then answered in a low voice, spread his wings and flew over.

Seeing that Wu Li didn't go immediately, Shi Shi was worried about the danger of the snake. When he saw him flying, he quickly shouted: "Be careful!"

Wu Li looked back at the stone, and rushed up with one wing.

Shi Shi grabbed his clothes and fixed his eyes on it, only to see Wu Li's body paused for a moment, then turned around and flew down.

Shi Shi ran over nervously, Wu Li had rushed to the ground like a sharp arrow, and slid to the side with him.

"Are you okay?" Shito asked anxiously, his eyes scanning Wu Li.Wu Li was wearing clothes, so even if he was bitten, he might not be able to bite his body.

Shi Shi was thinking this, and then he heard a "pop", something fell from the sky, no wonder Wu Li pulled him away.

Shi Shi turned his head and saw that it was a big snake with a thick mouth. A lot of blood gushed out from the headless neck of the snake, and the abdomen was also pierced, and some unknown things flowed out.The head of the snake, which was as big as a rice bowl, fell ten steps away from its body, with the body of a baby bird still in its mouth.The chick's body twitched, with weak strength.

The stone couldn't help shaking, and he turned his head and didn't dare to look again.

A few black raptors with the size of human heads fell down from the air, and fell to the ground lightly. As he ran, his body was covered with a thin layer of dew all the way down.

Stone squatted down and looked at them, and was relieved to see that they were not injured: "Fortunately, they were not bitten."

Seeing that Shi Shi's face was not looking well, Wu Li patted his head comfortingly, and said, "It's okay, you go back to the kitchen to clean up the table first, and I'll deal with the snake."

Shi Shi glanced at Wu Li, then looked at the snake on the ground, and said in a strange way: "Don't you want to keep the meat?" After talking about Shi Shi, he felt something was wrong. If the snake had just killed a human being, it would definitely not Some humans still want to eat its meat, and the bird killed by this snake is also of the same kind as Wuli.

Wu Li nodded angrily on Shi Shi's forehead: "You know how to eat."

Shi Shi pursed his mouth and said nothing.

Wu Li said seriously: "Be obedient, I will send you to the tree hole, this snake cannot be eaten."

"Well, but can't this snake be thrown away?" Stone asked.

Wu Li didn't answer, he sent the stone and the chick to the tree hole, and took the snake away.

Stone stared blankly at the opposite tree hole with his eyes open. The chicks must have been frightened, and there was no movement at all after they were put back into the tree hole.

Full of doubts, Shi Shi sat at the entrance of the cave and sewed a padded jacket while waiting.After a while, he heard the sound of a bird flying, and when he looked up, it turned out that the big bird had come back.

It stayed at the entrance of its own tree for a while, and soon noticed the abnormality, paused, and flew in front of the stone.

Shi Shi paused and nodded to it: "You...sorry, Wu Li has done his best."

"Chirp!"

The big bird's voice was so high that it made the stone eardrums buzz, and it couldn't help but backed away a little.

Shi Shi glanced at Big Bird in bewilderment: "My name is Shi Shi, can you turn into a human and talk to me? I can't understand bird language."

The big bird chirped and flew away.

Stone rubbed his ears, followed the big bird with his eyes, and found that it had landed on the ground, which seemed to be where the snake fell, and he didn't know what it was doing.

After a while, Wu Li also came back.The two birds were busy below, and finally Wuli set a fire and burned the place.

After dealing with everything, Wuli flew back to the tree hole.He turned into a bird of prey, and his clothes disappeared somewhere.

Shi Shi rushed forward and asked anxiously: "Have you finished it? What's the matter with the snake?"

Wu Li turned into a human form, and suddenly opened his arms around the stone, holding him tightly in his arms.

"What... what's wrong?" Shi Shi didn't know why, and his heart became more and more uncertain: "Is there something wrong with that snake?"

Wu Li hugged Shi Shi and stroked the hair on his back, and said in a low voice, "The suit you made for me is gone."

Stone: "Huh?"

"Burn." Wu Li let go of the stone and looked at him guiltily.

Stone breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, I can do it again after burning it, because of that snake?"

"Well." Wu Li became serious, and said in a deep voice: "That is the red gold snake species, which is born to hold vengeance and will take revenge. If it is not handled properly, its companions will take revenge. I didn't want to care about it. I was worried that you would be retaliated by them."

"Then what should we do? Did you just destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces?" Shitou said.

Wu Li looked at the stone, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, I threw the snake's body into the crater, and the smell on the ground and trees has been cleaned up, so that it won't attract red gold snakes." Not so stupid.

The faint scar on Wu Li's face distorted with his smile, making his face look a bit creepy.But Shishi was used to seeing him, so he was not afraid.

Shi Shi patted his chest, and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death, is the ground clean enough? How about we clean it again."

Wu Li tapped on the stone's head: "It has been cleaned with purifying grass, and there will be no smell." Just now I thought that the stone was smart, but then I became stupid again. Is he still planning to wash it with water?

"Oh." Shitou scratched his head, knowing that he still didn't know much about Fairy Spirit Valley, so he stopped talking, anyway, Wu Li could handle it well.

"However, this snake disappeared in this fairy valley. If it has snake veins, there may be red gold snakes haunting the valley nearby. We should be more careful in the future." Wu Li said.

Shitou nodded vigorously: "Well, I see, you should also tell the others of the same kind, lest they be bitten."

Wu Li looked at the stone with soft eyes: "It's our kind."

Stone's face became hot, and he responded in a low voice.

Shi Shi rubbed his hands, picked up the clothes and sewed them up, and it took him a while to talk to Wu Li.

"That big bird talked to me just now, I don't know what he said." Shito lowered his head, and the needle in his hand walked flexibly on the cotton cloth.

"He said thank you." Wu Li squatted beside the stone, watching him sew clothes boredly.

"Oh. By the way, why doesn't he become a human being? Then I can understand." Shitou said.

"Stupid rock."

Shi Shi gave Wu Li an aggrieved look, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why am I so stupid? You always talk about me."

"Can you become an adult even if you are a bird of prey?" Wu Li said angrily.

"Hey?" Shitou was surprised: "Isn't it? Don't you grow up and become human?"

"Who told you that?"

Shitou said honestly: "Yiqing Pavilion." After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong, carefully looked at Wuli's face, and seeing that he was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Li looked at the stone helplessly, and told him about the Wu Mengniao.

Wu Mengniao is a monster, but only half of it can cultivate into an adult in adulthood. This is the biggest threshold in Wu Mengniao's life. After passing it, it will officially enter the avenue of cultivation, and its life span will be extended by 500 years. Decades of life.

Wu Li spoke slowly, and suddenly found that Shi Shi's face had changed, and asked involuntarily, "What's wrong?"

"You..." Shitou opened his mouth, his face was not very good-looking, and he said in a daze, "That is to say, do you have 500 years of lifespan?"

"That's right." Wu Li looked at the stone quite proudly, and didn't mention himself at all. It's because he just became an adult in the spring, and the unlucky one immediately entered the estrus period before choosing a partner, and was finally humiliated by the humans ambushing in the woods. capture.

"Hehe..." Shitou forced a smile, and said submissively, "You are amazing." But what should he do?Decades later, when he was old, Wu Li still looked young... Suddenly he felt ashamed, how could such a small and ordinary self be worthy of the young and promising Wu Li.

Wu Li was keenly aware that something was wrong with the stone, so he restrained his complacency immediately, and asked concerned: "Do you feel unwell again?"

"No, I'm fine." Shitou's eyes wandered, he hurriedly lowered his head to sew clothes, but accidentally pricked his finger, and gasped slightly in pain.

Wu Li snatched the buddy in the stone's hand, stretched out his arms to hold the stone and stood up, and said sternly: "Go to rest in the nest." He said and walked towards the nest with big strides.

"Yeah." Stone replied, fell on the bed, took off his coat and got in, pulled up the quilt to cover his head.

Shi Shi's movements were done in one go, causing Wu Li's hand, which was about to pull the quilt, to freeze in the air.

Wu Li suddenly felt empty.Without thinking too much, he quickly took off his clothes, got into the quilt and hugged the stone in his arms.

The cold quilt became warm with the entry of Wu Li, and the parts that were attached to it were even more warm.Shi Shi leaned back reminiscingly, couldn't help turning over, and gently hugged Wu Li.

Wu Li felt relieved, hugged the stone contentedly and closed his eyes.
