"You let me go."
Jiang Yan's face turned red and white, and the place that could not be ignored was simply...
For the first time he shouted at the python, "Put me down --"
Boa Constrictor did not understand Jiang Yan's emotion at the moment, but only thought that he had wrapped the tiny man too hard, making him uncomfortable, so he put him back on the shore.
Jiang Yan was naked and braced his arms to catch his breath.
Wild jungle, he alone exposed to the air.
Jiang Yan turned his head, and the roots of his ears and neck burned red, but cold sweat flowed out. He looked at the lazy snake curled up next to him like a mountain, full of discomfort and boredom can only swallow back.
How do you explain that?
No matter how detailed his interpretation of human decency and shame, how could the beast understand?
Think of it this way, hint to yourself, tell yourself, it is a beast, different species, don't care.
Gradually, he seemed to calm down.
Jiang Yan hurriedly washed himself in the water before the sky was completely dark. Although he tried to ignore it, he was just... The touch of the slip still lingers.
It's just too big and strong, and...
The strength of the hand washing leg side gradually deepened, as if to rub something out.
Jiang Yan closed his eyes and endured, still a little ashamed and angry.
It's two
The tail tip of the python was partially submerged in the water, as if it was splashing in the water, and then jumped up like a dragon's tail, bringing out a string of crystal clear water, and the ink of the snake scale was shining more and more in the sunset.
Jiang Yan closed his eyes as if he had not seen.
He picked up the clothes on the side and put them on, and also told: "Don't sprinkle too much water, my clothes will be wet later, the wind is strong at night, and the clothes will be very cold."
No matter whether the python understood it or not, Jiang Yan did not want to stay longer and hurried to the direction of the cave, a little afraid that the python would curl itself with the tail again and probe something that should not be explored.

This night Jiang Yan has been sleeping restlessly, want to turn over and not move.
The snake's tail was completely wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and he was in a trance. He always had to open his eyes to make sure that he had not been slipped by two terrible things, and then he closed his eyes again in a daze.
He did not sleep well at night, which was accompanied by mental depression during the day.
Fortunately, Python went out after a while in the cave, leaving him room to stabilize his emotions alone.

Jiang Yan worked hard to distract his attention, he picked up a few bundles of firewood from the outside, and went to the place where the pottery was burned to check.
The fire in the pit, which had been burning all night, gradually died out, and a wooden stick was slowly dug open to reveal the burning clay clay buried underneath.
After the clay pottery made of cooking utensils is burned, the pit is covered with a layer of coarse skin left by high temperature oxidation, which looks dirty and not slip autumn, and is covered with gray dust.
The temperature of the fire was not easy to control, and not all of the clay pottery buried in the fire pit by Jiang Yan burned successfully.

One by one, he carefully cleaned the gray and black pottery with water. Among the seven utensils, four showed cracks on the surface, and the water test, two leaked, and the other two were intact enough to hold water.
The other three, although the texture of the fire is not dense enough, fortunately, except the surface is rough, there is no crack, and the whole bowl of water will not spill.
Jiang Yan lived alone, and the pottery cooking utensils initially burned out were enough for him to cope with alone.
The result of the pottery was far better than he had expected, and Jiang Yan picked up the cooking utensils and brought them back to the cave with some joy in his heart.
He wanted to share this happy event, stopped his mouth, looked around the empty cave, shrugged his shoulders, and carefully put the cooker in a corner where the python's tail would not sweep it.

After the first rain in autumn, the temperature became colder, and Jiang Yan could not help sneezing as soon as he came out of the cave.
He went back in, wrapped himself in deerskin, rubbed his hands, looked at the night in the mountains, and secretly wondered when the python would return today.
It is supposed that the climate is getting colder every day, and snakes should not like to go out of the cave, but the python goes out soon after Jiang Yan wakes up every day, and rarely stays here during the day.
He used a pot shaped like but smaller than the pot to hold water on the fire, boiling, looking at a little impurities, with the washing of the rest of the venison, not to waste any.
After the second pot of water that was burned out again did not leave any impurities, Jiang Yan tried to cool some and drank a few mouthfuls, and the warmth wrapped in his stomach made him feel comfortable in the cold autumn.
It seems that he has not had a hot drink for a long time, and he finished the hot water with the remaining half of the roast last night. Jiang Yan stroked his small belly and went out to look around to see if there were any wild vegetables to collect.
In the mountains after rain, things often emerge from the ground or next to the stump. When Jiang Yan lived in the village, he often followed adults into the mountains to pick mushrooms, and he was familiar with the more common and edible fungi.
He walked around the neighborhood in search of the wet, soft soil. He had covered almost all of the area, and he knew by heart what kind of plants grew on which side.
Living up to his expectations, Jiang Yan saw a modern edible mushroom around several withered tree plants, which looked very similar to, but slightly different from, porcini.
The mushroom in the jungle is a little bigger, Jiang Yan put the fungus in his hand to look at it, carefully observe its shape, fine smell, in addition to the relatively large size, it is indeed very similar to the porcini mushroom.
Jiang Yan put it into the pottery pot, because it looks very similar to the porcini bacteria, and the size is larger than the porcini bacteria seen in the past, he just called this fungus the bovine mushroom.
Under his feet as the center, spread around, growing a lot of this kind of beef mushroom, soon, Jiang Yan collected a whole pot of mushrooms, also counted as a good harvest.
He specially detoured some way to return to the cave from the other direction, on the way to see a fungus similar to the mushroom, the fungus is also picked in front of the eyes to observe, the mushroom in the jungle is also more than twice the size of the mushroom, the smell, the appearance, are similar to the mushroom.
Jiang Yan regarded it as a large-tailed mushroom, because there was no room for it in the pottery pot, he took the whole pot of bovine mushrooms back to the cave and continued to collect large-tailed mushrooms without stopping.
After the rain, the mushrooms in the mountains are very large, all full/full of fat, this trip after the rain, Jiangyan harvest.
After picking several jars full of mushrooms and bringing them back to the cave, Jiang Yan took the portion of mushrooms he was going to eat today to the stream to wash them.
It was not evening yet, there was no sun on this day, and Jiang Yan deduced that it should be shortly after noon according to his past habits.
When it was cloudy, he put the cleaned mushrooms into a clay pot and brought them back to the cave, where he saw a python.
Python usually does not appear here during the day, Jiang Yan surprise, not only that, the python also brought back a boar that had just been killed for a long time.
The wild boar has not struggled, and the blood flowing from the mouth and nose is still warm, which can be seen that it has just been hunted by the python.
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Is this for me?"
The deer he brought back did not eat much, the deer body of things, he is young, there is no problem in the body, weekdays eat more than two meals the body can not bear, so he has been eating pork.
Just as he thought, seeing that he seldom ate venison, the python thought that he did not like it, and on his way back he hunted a wild boar.
Eating pork every day is boring, but Jiang Yan already has cooking utensils that can be fired, and after the rain went out to pick several cans of mushrooms, at this time there is fresh pork, just improve the cooking method.

He was eager to try, and his expression showed joy.
From the corner of the can can make soup mushrooms, to meet the python's light-colored eyes, he smiled and explained: "This is the cooking tools, I put them in the corner, but also please do not break them, can you?"
Although it is not too difficult to fire simple tools, it takes time and effort to make them, and now winter is coming, and Jiang Yan has more important preparations to do.
It was still early enough that Jiang Yan had time to take one of the wild boar's legs off and dispose of it.
He chiseled the pig's legs with flint, intending to use the pig's feet and leg bones to make a pot of soup to drink at night, and the blood oozing from the pig's legs was filled with a pottery bowl and set aside, and the pig's blood could also be used to make soup or fry.
Most importantly, he had a wok in which to fry the pork in the oil that was common in the past or in the countryside.
Getting through the winter needs to store fat, Jiang said as much as possible to stock up on food that can provide energy to the body.
Python poked the leg bone chiseled out by Jiang Yan, and he held the leg bone that was about to fall from the stone to the ground, and the dark long tail was closed when it was good, and was quietly placed on one side.
Jiang Yan cleaned his leg bones and pig's feet at the water's edge, and the sky was already gray when he returned to the cave to light a fire.
With limited conditions, he fried the pig's feet again, put the water on fire, and waited for the water to boil before adding the leg bones.
After cooking for a long time, the bone soup boiled and showed a milky white, Jiang Yan added the fried pig feet, and later grabbed several/handfuls of beef mushrooms and big tail mushrooms.
The broth, with mushrooms as an ingredient, gives off a steady stream of sweet smell.
Jiang Yan poked the pig's feet several times with a wooden stick, and the pig's feet were almost soft and rotten.
This pot of soup boiled from evening to night, Jiang Yan turned the fire to the other side, and blew hard on the pot.
The broth was delicious and made him salivate in his throat, eager to taste it.
Jiang Yan put out a piece of pork trotter and bone soup in a bowl, and then grabbed a few mushrooms with a wooden stick.
There was no moon at night, and it was dark except for the fire in the cave.
Jiang Yan sat on the platform where the wind blew and sipped for two or three mouthfuls. Although there was no salt to taste, the strong aroma of the bones and meat, coupled with the freshness of the mushrooms, made the soup move his index finger after eating so long and tired of the barbecue.
The whole bowl of bone soup and pig trotters, Jiang Yan clearly felt the warmth flowing in the body.
It is hard to avoid thinking too much to eat, thinking of these days they live alone in the desolate primitive jungle, their eyes can not help but sour.
He turned his back, was about to return to the hole, the whole person suddenly jumped into the air, like flying into the snake tail.
'What's the matter?
He then seemed to see the pair of animal eyes staring at his bowl in a flash of doubt.
Jiang Yan patted it and tried to push off his legs, which were almost impenetrable.
"Put me down, would you like some?"
