When she thought of her bet with Fu Rui, her heart couldn’t help but thump.
The bet would depend on his mood.
In the morning, Fu Rui seemed to be in a good mood and even made the request to warm her bed.
If he was in a bad mood… what would happen?
Li didn’t dare to think further.
However, Fu Rui didn’t seem to have any intention of mentioning the bet.
When he saw her, he only smiled and nodded. Then, he busied himself with cooking.
After lunch, only then did Fu Rui call Li’s name.
“Ah… what is it…”
The fox-eared girl answered in a panic.
Fu Rui found this a little funny and could not help teasing her. He yawned and said, “I’m a little sleepy after eating.”
“If… If you’re sleepy, then sleep… Why did you call for me…”
“I called you over to warm my bed. Have you forgotten what the bet we previously agreed on was?”
At this moment, a commotion at the entrance of the village attracted everyone’s attention.
At the same time, Wei Wei’s voice sounded.
“Village Chief! Quickly come and take a look. Something has happened!”
“Could it be that the porcupine tribe’s scouts have discovered us?” Li frowned.
Fu Rui stood up calmly and patted the dust off his buttocks. “Let’s go and take a look.”
Li gave the beast-eared girls a look, and they instantly understood. They hurriedly picked up their weapons and bows and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
When they reached the sentry tower outside the village, they saw Wei Wei and Li Li supporting a bloody figure.
What was unique about this bloody figure was that she had a pair of long wings on her arms. Furthermore, her palms and feet were no longer human. Instead, they were eagle claws.
It was a girl with the body of an eagle.
As for why she was a female and not a male, Fu Rui could tell from her naked body.
“Xi Xi!”
Li cried out in surprise. She seemed to recognize the other party and rushed forward excitedly.
Fu Rui frowned slightly and felt that something was wrong and quietly watched from the side.
“Li…”
Xi Xi yelled weakly before passing out.
“Rui…” Li’s eyes were filled with grief.” Save her, please.”
Fu Rui didn’t say anything else and immediately nodded in agreement. “Take her to my room first. I want to examine her injuries.”
“Quick, listen to the Village Chief. Help me out!”
A group of beast-eared females who had thought that a battle was about to break out scrambled to escort Xi Xi to Fu Rui’s room.
Yuan was a little surprised when she saw this. “Rui, what happened, meow?”
“I’m not sure either.”
Fu Rui, who was following closely behind, shook his head. Then, he asked Wei Wei to get a basin of water to boil.
Wei Wei obeyed his order and left. Fortunately, the village had previously prepared hot water in response to Fu Rui’s instructions. Thus, she returned in less than 20 seconds.
Fu Rui first felt the temperature of the water before cleaning up the bloodstains on the eagle girl.
From her beautiful face to her exquisite collarbones to her voluptuous breasts…
Every part of her body was repeatedly wiped by his large, warm hand with some water.
At this moment, Fu Rui realized that something was wrong.
“Eh? Why are there no wounds.”
Li was also stunned. “But… but Xi Xi fainted. Is the wound somewhere else?”
“Then you can do it. It’s not convenient for me.” Fu Rui looked at Xi Xi’s private parts, which were further down. He was too embarrassed to take advantage of her when she was unconscious.
“But… What if I touch a wound? Is there a way to deal with it?”
Li remembered Fu Rui saying that wounds could not be touched. It had to be isolated with something… sterile, that also had to be changed regularly. Otherwise, it would cause an infection.
“I’ll watch from the side. It’s fine. You can start.”
Only then did Li start cleaning up the blood for Xi Xi.
After tens of minutes, everything was finally settled.
Just as Fu Rui had said, there was not a single wound on the body of the eagle girl. The blood was probably an enemy’s blood that had stained her body during the battle.
As for her coma…
Fu Rui did not know much about pulse reading, but he knew the normal range of heart rates.
After a brief examination, he could deduce that Xi Xi had fainted due to over-exhaustion.
She would be fine after resting for a while.
After learning of this situation, Li’s tense heart relaxed.
Fu Rui asked Yuan to take care of Xi Xi, who was still unconscious. At the same time, he signalled for everyone to go outside and not disturb them.
Li walked out of the house with a relaxed expression.
Fu Rui patted her shoulder and smiled. “Go call everyone to the bonfire. I have something to say.”
“What’s the big deal? Why do you want to call everyone over?”
“I want to teach everyone something interesting.”
Li saw his mysterious look and knew that it was something important. He did not hesitate and immediately gathered all the beast-eared girls in the village.
At this moment, Fu Rui was holding a piece of bamboo. He used a stone to drill and polish it.
“What is the Lord Village Chief going to teach us this time?”
“Is it related to this piece of bamboo?”
“Will it be easier than shooting arrows?”
The beast-eared females began to whisper among themselves.
After about five minutes, Fu Rui blew the bamboo tube in his hand and produced a melodious whistle. It was bright and penetrating.
Everyone quieted down and turned to look at Fu Rui.
Fu Rui chuckled as he stood up and shook the bamboo tube in his hand.
“Did everyone hear that sound?”
The beast-eared girls all nodded.
“Li, come and give it a try.”
Li didn’t expect Fu Rui to ask her to go up. She was stunned for a moment before standing up and walking to him. Then, she took the bamboo tube and blew on it lightly.
There was a dull sound, followed by the sound of air.
“This also requires a certain level of skill.”
Fu Rui smiled and demonstrated again. “Watch the shape of my mouth.”
He pulls his mouth into a small ‘o’ shape. Then, he pressed the tip of his tongue against his lower teeth and exhaled softly.
The whistling sounded again. It was clearly different from the sound produced with the bamboo tube. Although it was much sharper, its penetrating power was much weaker.
Li carefully observed the changes in the shape of his mouth and blew through the bamboo tube again.
Wu~~
A muffled sound rang out. Even though it didn’t last too long, it was still a success.
“Not bad, Li. You actually learned it in an instant.”
“Of course~” Li raised her chin. Then, she asked another question. “But why did you teach us something so simple? Is it useful?”
“Of course it’s useful.” Fu Rui chuckled. “Previously, we split into two groups and went into the forest to hunt. Did we lose track of each other after some distance?”
“More or less.” Li nodded her head. In the forest, it was very difficult to find the exact location of the other party just by walking.
Fu Rui raised the bamboo tube in his hand, “With this, this problem will be easily solved. Furthermore, it will play an extremely important role in the future battles with the porcupine tribe.”
