Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 193 Ancient Times (47)

So, the two decided to go to the place where they found the little iron beast in the morning, hoping to bring it back and take good care of it. Along the way, they went straight to the place where Ji Xiao found it in the morning, and silently prayed in their hearts that they could successfully find the abandoned little life.

Not long after, the two found the little iron-eating beast at the place where Ji Xiao had found it. Ji Xiao tiptoed closer, carefully picked it up, gently stroked it, and then sent a small wisp of spiritual energy to it. Then, Ji Xiao stood up holding it and said to Li Xiangyi happily: "Xiangyi, it's still breathing!"

"Okay, let's go back then!"

However, before leaving, the two used spiritual energy to plant a lot of fruits and bamboos that the iron-eating beast liked around here. After everything was done, the two took the little iron-eating beast and left.

Therefore, in the following days, the two spent all their time taking care of Tangyuan, except for traveling day after day. The little iron-eating beast, named Tangyuan by them, grew up slowly under their meticulous care, and its originally frail body became strong and powerful.

You know, in the cruel natural world, if an animal gives birth to multiple cubs, then usually the weaker and smaller one will be directly abandoned. Because in the face of the natural law of the survival of the fittest, only the strong can better adapt to the environment and reproduce; while those with congenital deficiencies will hardly escape the fate of premature death - after all, nature is full of dangers, and a little carelessness may lead to death. So for Tangyuan, it is really a very lucky thing to meet these two people!

After all, in the ancient times when food production was low, people lived in difficult conditions, and most people struggled all day to fill their stomachs and maintain their basic livelihoods. In this case, they had no time to take care of other things, let alone raise these iron-eating beasts that had an amazing appetite and consumed a lot of food resources.

Even in a modern society with highly developed material civilization, it is not easy to raise a good iron-eating beast, and not everyone has the ability and conditions to take on this responsibility. (For example, Fubao has limited resources, and Yaya and Lebao, this is uh... those who know know it)

In this way, the two and the beast began their new journey. Now Ji Xiao is immersed in the happy time with the furry Tangyuan every day. In order to help Tangyuan exercise better and strengthen his physique, Li Xiangyi always takes it to climb trees in the mountains, hunt wild animals, pick fresh fruits, collect firewood, go to the river to catch fish, and even takes it to challenge a hornet's nest when he stops to rest.

Whenever Ji Xiao arrived at a place, she would look around to see if there were other types of bamboo. Once she found something, she would excitedly dig out many fresh and delicious bamboo shoots, and also cut down some tender green bamboo to bring back. Not only that, she also carefully dug out the bamboo shoots and planted them in her own space.

In order to prevent the bamboo from overgrowing and spreading in the space, she deliberately asked Yun Duo to set aside a piece of land specifically for planting these bamboos. In addition, she set some restrictions to ensure that the number of bamboos in the space is reasonably controlled and prevented from overgrowing and multiplying. After all, this is a plant that can grow in the cracks of rocks, so you can imagine how terrifying its penetrating power is. If there is no restriction, her beautiful space may become unrecognizable.

Now, the two of them have finally arrived in Dali. The city has a unique feel to it, being located on a plateau. Surprisingly, despite being on a plateau, the terrain is remarkably flat, as if nature intended it to be so. But even more striking is the towering mountains that surround it, like loyal guards, protecting this peaceful and tranquil land.

Standing in the city and looking around, you can see rolling mountains and clouds lingering in between, which makes you marvel at the wonders of nature. The mountains are shaded by green trees, birds are singing and flowers are blooming, and a vibrant scene is in full view. There are also several ancient temples or towers dotted on the top of the mountain in the distance, adding a sense of mystery and solemnity. Such a unique geographical environment makes Dali a place where you can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and feel the long history and cultural heritage.

On the night they arrived in Dali, as night fell and the lights came on, Li Xiangyi drove his carriage slowly forward. He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, ready to find a place to stay that was relatively flat, comfortable, and sufficiently hidden and safe.

Finally, after searching for a while, he found a quiet meadow outside the city. The terrain here is relatively flat, surrounded by trees and hills, forming a natural barrier that can effectively block the outside world's sight and protect their privacy and safety. Although the two have high martial arts values, they both hate trouble, so they will avoid it if they can avoid it.

Li Xiangyi drove the carriage to this ideal place and stopped, and gently patted the horse's back to comfort it. Then, he stood up and walked to the door of the carriage, gently pushed it open, and said to Ji Xiao in the carriage: "Xiaoxiao, let's rest here tonight."

Ji Xiao responded and came out of the house holding Tangyuan. He then got off the carriage, untied the reins of the two horses, checked the surroundings to make sure everything was OK, and then returned to the small building. That night, they did not go out for a stroll; instead, they both chose to stay in the small building to rest and recuperate.

The next morning, Li Xiangyi took Tangyuan to the nearby mountains to find food while Ji Xiao was still asleep. At the same time, Tangyuan quietly climbed up the tree where a hornet's nest was hanging while Li Xiangyi was not noticing it.

Then he suddenly pulled it down, and all the wasps swarmed out of the nest and attacked Tangyuan. At first, it didn't feel scared, until its face and the hand holding the hive became swollen and painful, it let go, and then slid down from the tree, being chased by the wasps.

At this time, Li Xiangyi discovered the miserable Tangyuan. He covered himself with a layer of protective shield and went to rescue Tangyuan. When Li Xiangyi drove away the swarm of hornets and was ready to take it back, it did not want to go, but asked Li Xiangyi to take its hive away before it was willing to go back.

So it pulled Li Xiangyi's clothes with one paw and pointed at the beehive with the other paw, lying on the ground and unwilling to leave. "Hmm... Hmm..."

Li Xiangyi looked at the claws on his clothes, veins on his forehead throbbing. If Tangyuan was not Ji Xiao's pet, he would have thrown it away and gone back to change his clothes.

Now he could only endure it as much as possible, gritting his teeth and saying to it, "I really am..." Then he had to accept his fate and pick up the hornet's nest that had fallen on the ground, and said with a dark face, "Can we go now?" Then he ignored it and didn't care whether his clothes would be damaged. He turned around and walked straight down the mountain.
