Yang Fan knew that there was something wrong with him now. Since Nick got angry last time, she suddenly became depressed.

At first, she let herself rest for a while, but after more than ten days, she hid back into the cave every day after Nick went out, and only came out when she saw him coming back, she knew she had changed.

In the past, she almost forced herself to find things to do every day, think constantly, and couldn't stop for a moment, which made her feel hopeful in her heart. But now it's different. She seems to care about everything, and even thinks of giving up her life and letting herself go through it in a mess. When she should die, she doesn't want to care about anything. When this idea occasionally comes up, she will feel a sense of revenge, and then let this idea occupy her brain more and more frequently.

She knew that she could not continue like this, so although she still refused to continue thinking about winter or food, she forced herself not to stay in the dim stone cave and had to sit outside in the sun. Even if she came out, she would just sit tightly against the stone wall and sit on the grass without moving.

She didn't take the initiative to get close to Nick like before. She found that she wanted to anger him. I just wanted to try it out and see how you could do me. Even if I die, I wouldn't be afraid of it.

So she gritted her teeth and shut her mouth in front of Nick, so that she would never let herself do anything out of control because of impulse.

Then she would sit next to Nick, and even if she was so scared that she would tremble all over.

Because she can't fall in love with Nick, she must maintain a friendly relationship with Nick. But since she can't please him like she used to, she can only express her closeness in this way.

Nick should have noticed her abnormality. He still surrounded her with his tail when she leaned over, and still feeding her meat every day. It seemed that he was a little concerned about her sudden loss of energy.

One day, when he came back from hunting in the forest, he brought back a few eggs with gray patterns. The eggs were probably a little smaller than the eggs, and there was no way to tell which animal they were. He handed them to her and she held them in her hand to see. She didn't know what he wanted to do, and she wouldn't eat raw eggs.

Nick saw that she didn't move, wondering if he thought she wouldn't eat eggs. He took the eggs over, wrapped them with a large leaf, threw them gently on the ground, and then placed them on the stone near the fire. After a while, he took the leaves back and opened them. The eggs inside were ripe, the shells were broken, and the egg whites and egg yolks were scattered on the leaves, steaming.

Nick handed her the leaves, picked up the egg whites and egg yolks inside and fed them to her mouth, and signaled her to eat them.

Compared to the rough meat of the earthy rat, the eggs were indeed soft and chewy. Yang Fan ate all these, and he looked very satisfied and touched her back.

She guessed that it was because she was in bad spirits, so he asked the egg to feed her. Maybe he thought she was sick, and the egg was softer and tenderer than the meat, and it was more suitable for her to eat when she was sick.

From that day on, he would bring back a nest of eggs every day, of different sizes and different varieties. In addition to the one with gray patterns, there was a smaller dark gray shell, a pure white one as big as a fist. Sometimes seven, eight, sometimes four, five, and once he wrapped a big leaf back forty or fifty eggs! I don’t know which animal’s nest was hollowed out. The eggs were eaten for half a month before she finished eating them. She was afraid that she would eat them slowly and hatched some small monsters to make them even more scary.

All of these eggs are covered with soil without exception. Judging from Nick's appearance, she thought he would probably not climb trees. These eggs should be in the nest of reptiles, without bird eggs. The trees in the forest were all tall and straight, and almost all branches were on the top of the canopy. If there were birds building nests, they would definitely be on the top of the canopy. Nick would not be able to climb up.

Yang Fan found that she had signs of recovery. She began to think about the biological forms here again and collected Nick's information. This was a good sign, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

But she knew she still had some problems, because last time he brought back too many eggs, she boldly boiled them in water again.

Although she later convinced herself that this was verifying whether her judgment on Nick's reaction was correct, she did have the urge to die at that time.

Nick was not angry, which proved that he had little interest in something that was not his food.

Yang Fan cooked some eggs and felt that they didn't taste much like eggs. They couldn't tell what they tasted, and they might be a little harder. She cooked the eggs later, and did not wrap them in the leaves like Nick, break the shells and put them on the side of the fire to cook.

Nick didn't know whether she thought she was still playing or that it was her habit of eating food, so he sent her a lot of strange things for her to cook and play with.

Although she had never cooked the meat of the earth rat, once he left a piece of it while barbecuing the meat and then pushed her to get the pot of fruit and stream water. It took her a while to realize that he asked her to cook the piece of meat. She refused because she could not chew the meat of the earth rat when cooking.

Maybe thinking that she was still in bad spirits, Nick took her to the forest again. He would put her aside, and he was not far from her.

She knew that the earth rat not only moved on the low slope where they lived, but also in the forest. The fur of the earth rat in the forest looked darker, and I wonder if it was her illusion.

They would occasionally eat other animals, but Nick obviously liked the earth mouse the most, and it had strong fertility, and it was easy to catch it, and rarely could not catch it. He would sometimes catch something else, but Yang Fan rarely saw him take it back. When she followed him to the forest, she realized that he had eaten it directly when he caught it.

She always thought he was a cooked food, and she always felt strange. Where did he learn to use fire to process food? He actually knew to peel and roast it first. It was because of this that she always felt that Nick was more inclined to humans than animals, but after seeing a few bites of it, she swallowed the little animal she caught, which she didn't know what it was, she was so scared that she quickly turned her head over and told herself again that he was not a human.

Now she can only think that it is because the meat of the earth mouse is too thick and it is difficult to chew raw, so he roasts it before eating it. As for peeling, it may be because the skin of the earth mouse is too tough. She knows very well that the skin is very elastic. As for where he knows how to cook the food from the fire, she can't find the reason for the reason.

While Nick was hunting, she was digging with branches and stones where he could see. She wanted to find some root food, which might be edible. Anyway, she could ask Nick to try it first, if he poisoned him...

That's not a bad thing either.

On the one hand, she was very afraid of her own idea, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but work harder to dig up grass roots. She told herself that she was looking for food, but she couldn't help but imagine how she could survive here if Nick died.

First of all, she couldn't catch the earth rats. They ran fast and could dig holes. Although Nick seemed very easy to catch them, she once saw a group of small earth rats quickly drilling into the soil, as simple as drilling tofu. She couldn't even react.

In this way, she lost her main food.

As for fish, shrimp and wild fruits, these things cannot be eaten as food, and she doesn't know anything except the ones Nick brought back to her.

There were also those eggs, she only guessed that they were all taken out of some animal from the ground, but she didn't know what kind of animal's nests they were, and where they always built their nests, and whether they were dangerous or not.

Also, winter may be coming. When winter comes, where will she go to find food? How will she spend the winter?

After thinking about it, if Nick died, she might not die soon. But death is not that scary, right? Since she can't go home, it would be better to die earlier if she lives in such a place...

She only let these thoughts stop in her heart for a while and then quickly suppress them. She told herself that she should be more active and that living is better than dying.

Then she took all the grass roots and tree roots that could be found, washed them all in the stream, and took them back to peel them and cook them. She left some animal bones and used sharp jaw bones to make a knife. She didn't know what it could do to make this knife, but she tried it, and the bone knife could not penetrate Nick's lint.

He probably thought she was playing, and he didn't resist when she stabbed his palm with a bone knife. She originally thought that the lint piece on his neck would be a little thinner, but it was a vital point and he wouldn't let her touch it. She thought that the palm might be similar, because the lint piece in his palm was also white, although the lint piece was larger than the one on his neck.

But the tip of the bone knife was broken, and the tines on his palm were not broken. He didn't react, and he kept lying there basking in the sun, as if he was not interested in what she did.

The grass roots and tree roots brought back were cooked separately. Nick might really think that this was her habit of life. He even specially marked a place for her to put the stove she built with stones, and picked up more firewood for her, folded them all into small pieces. Even the burrs were rubbed back and forth several times by the lints in his palm, and they were all removed.

She couldn't deliver the cooked grass and tree roots to Nick. She didn't know if it was because she couldn't do it, or because she kept telling herself that he was actually innocent and he had no idea what he had done. Judging from his reaction, he had tried his best to care for her.

Finally, she resolutely ate all the ones. She tasted the boiled soup, some of the boiled roots, some of them made her diarrhea, some of them made her body numb, some of them made her eyes burst into tears, black and white. That time she thought she was dead, so she found a place to lie down on the hillside with her hands on her stomach, thinking that if she died, she might be able to go home. Anyway, she was in a very calm mood, but when Nick came back and took her to dinner, she slowly got better after a while.

After she got out, she immediately threw away all the roots. She couldn't leave such roots, and she didn't want to poison herself to death one day.

She asked Nick to grab a small earthy mouse for her, then cook it and feed it first, and she would taste it when it was fine.

Then she found that the root of a purple skin might have an excitement effect. After eating it, the small earth mouse screamed for most of the day, which attracted many adult earth mouse. Nick did not go hunting that day, so he caught a large one nearby.

Later she felt that the little earthy rat was too pitiful and put it on.

She dug all the grass and roots of trees from all the places Nick took her to, and brought back all the ones she could bring back to cook. He might think she liked the roots buried in the soil, but she found a lot of them. The holes he dug were much deeper than her, but in the end some of the roots he brought her might be really edible.

She found a plant buried deep in the ground with a very long root system and even Nick had not dug to her head. Its roots were endless and deeply rooted in the ground. There were some prominent big bumps on the roots, irregular shapes. Some looked as big as the wild fruit and winter melon that Nick found for her, and some were as big as the earth rat, with a foot of about one or two hundred kilograms.

Nick dug out a pile for her, and it looked like it was knotted on the roots, all of which were connected by dark brown thin roots, and the big and small piled behind the cave.

She cut a small one with a bone knife and took it back to cook. After cooking, she found that the root would become softer and the soup would become thicker and thicker, as if it had been boiled into the soup.

She tried to take a bite, without any problem. At night, Nick found that the roots placed outside the cave attracted two earth mice to eat.

It seems that this is the food that the earth mouse likes.

Nick grabbed the two earthy rats and looked very happy. His big tail was raised and shaking lightly.

Yang Fan confirmed that the root was non-toxic, and she felt that it tasted very much like starchy food, so she began to try to eat it as a staple food. After all, she really couldn't get used to the meat of the earthy mouse, so she had to chew it and feed her every time.

Nick also likes that this kind of root can attract muds. When the roots placed near the cave cannot attract muds, he began to place the roots elsewhere to attract muds. There will always be muds that will be fooled, and he hunted faster. He will dig a lot and leave the biggest one to Yang Fan. He did not stop her from eating this, even if she began to refuse to eat muds' meat, he would still leave the tenderest and fattest piece to her.
