Chapter 90: Is She Sick?
The sun rose higher, and under its bright rays, the Teepees in the Tribe seemed to be covered with a layer of sparkling silver.
Su Bai stretched his body. Last night was the most comfortable sleep he has had since coming to this Tribe!
“Shaman, did you sleep well last night?” Yu Ying’s gentle voice sounded.
“I slept very comfortably,” Su Bai said with satisfaction.
He turned his head to look at the pillow, thinking, [My love, you really had come just in time. If you had come any later, my neck bones might have degenerated.]
Yu Ying held several skewers of dried meat and said, “Shaman, you brush your teeth first. I’ll roast the meat right away. It’ll be ready to eat soon.”
“Good. Did you wake up very early?” Su Bai asked, curious.
“No, I just got up a little while ago.” Su Bai picked up the toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste on it.
“Shaman, I’ve already brushed my teeth earlier,” Yu Ying said with a smile.
“Good. From now on, brush your teeth twice a day, in the morning and at night.” Su Bai continued to instruct while brushing his teeth, “Don’t put too much salt and chilli sauce later.”“Yes,” Yu Ying smiled.
“Shaman, may I come in?” Yan Hua’s clear voice sounded from outside the Teepee.
“Come in,” Su Bai said calmly.
Yan Hua lifted the Teepee door flap, looking fresh and energetic. “Shaman, good morning.”
“Morning.” Su Bai said after rinsing his mouth.
Yan Hua blinked her red eyes, asking in confusion, “Shaman, what are you doing? Brushing your teeth? Why is it white foam this time?”
The horned girl recalled brushing teeth with wood charcoal ash before, but the water spit out then was black.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly, handing over a toothbrush and toothpaste. He explained, “This is toothpaste and this is a toothbrush. Use these to brush your teeth. After brushing, I’ll give you candy to eat.”
“Candy? What’s that?” Yan Hua asked in confusion. However, there was no response. After all, she would get to try it soon. So, there was no need for Su Bai to explain.
“This is a toothbrush…” Yu Ying taught the horned girl hands-on, continuing, “Remember not to swallow it. Just spit it out at the end.”
“Oh, oh, okay,” Yan Hua nodded, seeming to understand but not really getting it. She just followed whatever instructions were given. Even so, in her heart, she could not help but think, [Just one night, and there’s this strange thing. The Shaman is really amazing.]
A few minutes later, the horned girl clumsily finished brushing her teeth. Several times during the process, she almost could not resist swallowing the toothpaste.
Yan Hua stuck out her tongue, frowning, “This… this feels a bit strange.”
“Hahaha… Put your tongue back in before speaking,” Su Bai found the horned girl’s current appearance very funny.
Yu Ying also could not help but cover her mouth, laughing, “Ah’Hua, you’re just like me last night.”
“You’re laughing at me? Look at your own face!” Yan Hua also started laughing.
When the fox eared girl covered her mouth to laugh, the wood charcoal ash on her hands had smeared on her face. Now, she was a black marked fox.
“Huh? What’s wrong with my face?” Yu Ying reached up to touch her face.
“Don’t… well, now it’s even dirtier,” Su Bai had wanted to stop the fox eared girl from touching her face.
“Just go wash your face first. I’ll help you roast the dried meat,” Yan Hua said, shaking her head with a smile.
Yu Ying pouted, saying, “Ah’Hua, you just know how to laugh at me. You looked very funny just now too.”
Su Bai really did not know what to do with these two good friends. He handed a piece of candy to the horned girl, saying, “Try this.”
Yan Hua took the White Rabbit Milk Candy, looking at the strange text on it, and asked, “Shaman, is this candy?”
“En, unwrap it before eating.” Su Bai thought it would be better to do it himself. So, he took back the candy, unwrapped it, and said, “Open your mouth.”
Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, reaching out to take the candy, saying, “Shaman, I can do it myself.”
“Aren’t you roasting meat now? Your hands are so dirty, and this goes into your stomach,” Su Bai dodged the horned girl’s hand and continued. “Just open your mouth.”
The horned girl’s face visibly reddened. She hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth, “Ah!”
Su Bai, looking at the horned girl’s red cheeks, could not help but find her cute. He added, “You’d better let Xiao Yu roast the meat. She’s more skilled than you.”
Last night at dinner, he had taught the fox eared girl how to roast meat properly, so it wouldn’t get burnt or blackened. Otherwise, every time they ate, they would end up with bitter, charred dried meat, which was not very pleasant.
“Okay,” Yan Hua said, standing up with a flushed face.
Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes, looking confused. She felt like she had missed something after washing her face and coming back.
She crouched down holding the dried meat, asking in confusion, “Shaman, what’s wrong with Ah’Hua? Is she sick? Why is her face so red?”
“Remember to flip the dried meat, otherwise it’ll burn again,” Su Bai changed the subject.
“Ah! I almost ruined it again!” Yu Ying hurriedly took the dried meat away from the fire pit.
Su Bai shook his head with a smile, instructing, “You can spread a little chilli sauce, then continue roasting. Just keep it a bit farther from the fire pit.”
“Okay,” Yu Ying nodded, getting up to fetch the chilli sauce from last night.
The fox eared girl blinked her pink eyes, continuously looking at the chilli sauce, not knowing how to handle it for a moment.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
A minute later, she turned her head and looked pitifully at the horned girl.
Yan Hua was still immersed in the sweetness of the milk candy. Feeling Yu Ying’s gaze, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Ah’Hua, do you know how to open this?” Yu Ying’s soft voice sounded.
Yan Hua took the chilli sauce, examined it up and down, left and right, then shook her head, “I don’t know.”
The fox eared girl sighed, and along with the horned girl, they both looked towards Su Bai with pitiful expressions.
Su Bai laughed heartily, “Hahaha… I almost forgot. Give it to me. I’ll help you open it.”
The appearance of the two girls just now really made him want to pinch their cheeks.
“There, remember not to use too much,” After opening, Su Bai handed over the chilli sauce.
“Thank you, Shaman,” Yu Ying smiled and nodded.
Yan Hua also crouched by the fire pit, curiously watching Yu Ying’s actions. She asked, “What’s this again?”
“chilli sauce, it can make the dried meat taste different. At the very least, that’s what the Shaman said,” Yu Ying calmly said.
Yan Hua nodded thoughtfully, saying, “If the Shaman said so, it should taste good.”
