Chereads / The Gate of Rebirth / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Robinson Crusoe set up traps and traps in the forest from time to time. At noon, the two of them emerged from a huge forest. A river flowing quietly in front of them blocked their way. A group of crocodiles swam around on the water with their heads exposed. They were crawling all over the shore. Some were lazily basking in the sun in the grass; some were crawling around and playing; some were mating. Robinson Crusoe drew his bow and aimed at the one closest to him.

Yi Fan saw that these monsters looked shocking, and thought to himself: "The leather armor of this thing is so thick, how can the feather arrow penetrate it?" Sure enough, the feather arrow flew, hit the crocodile's back armor with a ding, and then bounced into the grass. There was only a white mark on the shell where the arrow was hit, and it didn't go deep at all.

The crocodile was indeed very sensitive. It immediately turned its head and stared with its small eyes to look around. When it saw Yi and Lu, it crawled over without hesitation. As it crawled quickly, its body swayed from side to side, which was quite funny. Yi Fan wanted to laugh, but the fierce light in its small eyes was very unfriendly.

Robinson retreated into the forest and stood a little away from the crocodiles. The crocodile rushed over with a fierce momentum, opened its huge mouth and bit Robinson, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth that made people shudder. In a flash, Robinson stuffed a piece of huge wood that was as thick as a normal person's waist into the crocodile's mouth. At this time, the crocodile's mouth was very wide open, and the long and thick hardwood directly hit its throat and got stuck immediately.

It struggled left and right and retreated, wanting to spit it out, but the hardwood was so huge that it could not open its mouth any wider, and it just couldn't spit it out. Robinson grabbed the hardwood with both hands and turned it around. The crocodile was also turned upside down by the huge wood. He stepped on the hardwood with both feet and fixed it to the ground. The hunting knife gently scratched the neck, and blood gushed out. The crocodile struggled for a while and stopped moving.

Yi Fan was surprised and happy watching from the side, thinking: "This method is really simple and quick, and you can learn it in one go."

The two of them cut open the crocodile and took out all the edible fresh meat. Robinson also cleaned the rotten meat and blood on the crocodile armor, washed it by the river, and then put it in the bag. Yi Fan didn't know why he wanted the crocodile armor.

After that, the two of them went back and forth in the forest, shot a few hares and pheasants, picked some fungus, mushrooms, hawthorns, and wild vegetables. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and they returned along the way they came. The traps they arranged harvested a wild boar stabbed to death by a spear, and they also found a sika doe and two fawns in a large pit. One fawn was seriously injured by an unknown animal and was dying. It was obvious that they escaped here and fell into the pit by mistake. The wild beasts chasing them knew that they would not survive if they entered the pit, so they did not jump down to kill them.

Today's harvest was very large, and the two could not take that much. Robinson took two large bags of milk from the doe, pushed it and another fawn out of the pit, and let them escape on their own.

The two carried the dying fawn back, and it was dark when they got home. The fawn had died on the way, so they skinned it by the river, took the venison into the cave, and roasted it in the oven, sizzling with oil, and the aroma was overflowing.

The dinner was quite rich, with a full table, including; crocodile tail bone and seasoning soup, a lot of crocodile eggs, roasted milk deer, deer milk, various fruits, and pancakes made by women with animal fat... It was really a life of gods. Yi Fan stayed here for half a year, hunting and collecting materials with Robinson every day. Although there were many dangers in the mountains, with this old hand by his side, he could always avoid them without any harm. He was comfortable and happy. He also enjoyed many strange and steep mountain scenery. Speaking of food, every meal was extremely rich, and each meal was different. There were surprises every time. He tasted all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, which really made him intoxicated. He thought: "In fact, it is a good choice to spend the rest of my life in the deep mountains and old forests."

He was not idle in the past six months. He memorized the language of this world and could communicate basically. Not long after he came, Robinson made the crocodile armor into a leather armor for Yi Fan, saying: "The wild beasts, poisonous insects, and steep dangers in the mountains are all fatal. You just came here and you are not very capable. Wear this heavy leather armor to protect yourself in case of accidents. When you are familiar with everything in the future, you can take it off and put on the light animal armor." Yi Fan was secretly grateful in his heart, thanked him, and hurriedly put it on. He chatted with Robinson in his spare time and learned that the woman in the cave was called Xiaoniu. The two children, the boy was called Yuanyuan and the girl was called Tangtang. They grew up in the mountains since they were young. Yi Fan asked Robinson twice why he lived alone in the mountains and did not go out to live. At least he had to think about the future of his children, otherwise when they grew up, how helpless it would be to live alone in the mountains. Robinson always avoided answering this question. After asking twice, Yi Fan stopped asking.

Yi Fan has a childlike nature and likes to play with children. He usually plays games with them when he has nothing to do, making them happy. During this period, the two children have become the happiest babies in the world. It is impossible not to see Yi Fan for a moment. Even when he goes out hunting, Yuanyuan always grabs the corner of Yi Fan's clothes to prevent him from leaving. The three adults are always angry and amused.

That day, Yi Fan played hide-and-seek with the two children, making the two little guys laugh. They played three times, and the fourth time the two children ran to hide in Yi Fan's room.

Yi Fan didn't take it seriously, but he didn't hear them send a signal for him to find them for a long time. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard Tangtang's crying voice from the room: "I saw this first, it's my treasure... You took my things, I beat you..." followed by the sound of slapping.

Yuanyuan also cried out, sobbing in a baby voice: "No! I touched it first, it's my treasure... I'll tell Uncle Yifan, you hit someone, you're not a good child..."

Oh no, for some reason, the two children actually started fighting inside. Yifan secretly laughed, and hurriedly pushed the door in, saying to them gently: "Don't fight! Come and show uncle what treasure you found..."

Yifan said gently: "So it's this, this is Brother Yifan's thing, this thing will bite people, let go quickly, children can't play with this, be careful of biting you."

Hearing that it would bite people, Tangtang was a little scared, let go immediately, took a step back, and said: "This will bite people, Tangtang doesn't want it, give this to Yuanyuan, let it bite Yuanyuan."

After hearing what Yifan said, Yuanyuan not only didn't let go, but her eyes widened even more, staring at the thing in her hand intently, she must have been very surprised that this thing could bite people.

The two children were standing face to face. Tangtang looked angry, with crystal tears on her round face. They each grabbed one end of an object as long as an adult's palm and pulled it towards their arms. Both were young and weak, and neither could beat the other, but they refused to let go and froze there. Both were childish and cute.

Yi Fan approached and saw that the thing they were robbing was the one he saw when he first came, the Zhi grass that could learn to speak. During this period of time, he had been hunting with Robinson, learning the language of this world, or playing with the two children. He had forgotten about it long ago, but he didn't expect that it would be turned out by the two children today.

Yi Fan said a few more gentle words before he let go. The two children were still clamoring to continue playing hide-and-seek. Yi Fan sent them out. One of them looked at the thing carefully, but he couldn't see what it was. Suddenly, he remembered that Robinson was outside, so he showed the strange grass to Robinson.

Robinson looked at it for a while, but he didn't recognize it, so he asked Yi Fan where he got it from. Yi Fan had to tell him about the day when two beasts fought in the mountains, this beast learned to speak like a human, and other beasts chased it.

Robinson was very surprised and said, "We are ignorant and don't know where this magical grass came from, but I heard you say it was so extraordinary at that time, it must be very famous in the mortal world, we must keep it well, and when you come out of the mountains in the future, try to ask the experts to guide you."

He paused and said, "Like me, I have lived in the mountains for many years, but I have never seen such a magical thing. It shows that you are blessed with great fortune and will definitely achieve great things in the future." Yi Fan said, "I was able to survive until now because of my big brother's rescue. I will never forget your kindness. Big brother also happened to pass by that day. Cliff edge, did you find me in danger? "

Robinson laughed and said, "That day I was setting a pit in the forest, and suddenly I heard the sound of the cliff cracking and the roar of beasts outside. I didn't know what happened, so I went out to see that you had offended a group of animals, and they refused to let you go. I saw that you were in a critical situation, so I had to help you. "

When this cave house was built, it was not considered that there would be guests, so there was no living room, and a big bed was still arranged in the main room. At this moment, Robinson and his wife sat by the bed, Yi Fan sat on the chair opposite them, and the three of them talked happily.

During the conversation, the girl listened carefully, and sometimes looked at Yi Fan intentionally. If she met Yi Fan's eyes, she would immediately blush and turn her head away. She couldn't help asking, "Yi Fan, I see that you have a very different temperament from the average person. When you first came here, you spoke a very strange language that I have never heard before. That day, you suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and forests as if you had fallen from the sky. So, where did you come from?"

Robinson also looked at Yi Fan, waiting for his answer.
