Chapter 39: Taking Bird Eggs
Chapter 39: Taking Bird Eggs
The horizon was imbued in white and threads of morning mist appeared at the waist of the mountain, covering the clear and cold mountain forest scenery in it.
Shu Jintian was sleeping on his stomach on the large, soft bed. He shifted his stiff body and instantly scrunched his face up.
Ss~ It felt like this body wasnt his; it was even more sore than back when he tumbled down the mountain. Especially that unmentionable place at his behind; it was both swollen and bloated, leaving a dull ache. His stomach also had a bloated pain just as in the past. Shu Jintians face couldnt help reddening and he lightly rubbed his stomach where there was a hard bump.
This hateful snake, he didnt even help him clean it out after finishing! What would he do if the bed was dirtied?
His body was still entrenched by the big snake; his legs were wound around by loops, and his thighs were also closely stuck together. That thing obviously had not been taken out yet.
Once Shu Jintian moved, Hanyu also woke up perceptively. He only relaxed when he saw that the female was still here, and slowly let go of the female.
Hanyu~ Shu Jintian softly called, his brows knitting. Along with Hanyus movements, the two, not small things inside him moved, a bruised and prickling pain instantly attacking him.
Seeing that Shu Jintian was uncomfortable, he was about to turn into his human form to alleviate his pain. Shu Jintian noticed Hanyus intent and hastily spoke up to stop him.
Dont. Youll dirty the bed.
Hanyu:
Hanyu was instantly speechless and helplessly glanced at the female. Keeping their intertwined posture, he swept up the female and headed outside the cave.
Shu Jintian immediately gritted his teeth, his rear entrance being shifted as Hanyu glided along and pulled at his butt, but he still tenaciously tightened up. Shu Jintian was stretched painfully, and with just a short distance, his forehead was already covered in a dense layer of sweat.
Once they left the cave, Hanyu turned into his human form and picked up the female in the way of helping a child pee, helping him release the seed left in his stomach. He spat out his scarlet forked tongue, and his face turned a little distressed when he withdrew it. The air was filled with a faint scent of blood.
I still ended up hurting you. Tiantian, does it hurt?
Hearing this, Shu Jintian was first puzzled, lowering his head to look at the liquid dripping out of him. Among the muddy liquid flowing on the grass, it was mixed with many red traces. It turned out that he had surprisingly bled yesterday.
But Shu Jintian didnt feel that it was that serious; it was more or less as discomforting as the first time. However, it was also good to take this opportunity to have the big snake restrain a little, and even if he failed, he would still be able to rest for a time ba!
As such, Shu Jintian immediately assumed a sickly weak posture, whispering, It hurts ah. I already said to stop yesterday, but you still continued. Whats done is done; I want to rest for a few days.
Hanyu carefully picked the female up in bridal-style, saying, distressed, Okay! What does Tiantian want to eat? Lets go together.
Ah? Shu Jintian was first delighted, but hearing the latter half of Hanyus words, he sank a little in Hanyus embrace and muttered quietly.
Can I not go? He felt sore all over right now, and was fucked to this sorry state, but he would not say it even if he was threatened to the point of death. Fortunately, the big snakes attitude towards him right now was pretty good, so he probably wouldnt insistently ask him to go ba!
Seeing this, Hanyu felt even more distressed over his mate, and was also more resentful of that nomadic beastman. If it werent for him, the female didnt have to suffer so much now either.
Hanyu collected the clothes hung outside and put them on the female.
He never thought that Hanyu was so unable to understand human emotions. Shu Jintian felt stifled with anger, and didnt even feel like moving, letting Hanyu put it on for him.
Tiantian, didnt you want to eat bird eggs yesterday? How about we go collect bird eggs today?
Shu Jintians eyes brightened, somewhat moved. But, he still did not speak of it.
Seeing that the female still had a listless appearance, Hanyu wanted to coax him but did not know where to start, so he could only continue, If we walk upwards from here, theres a bird nest. A lot of birds are perched there. We can take a lot in one go and bring them back, then leave them at home so that Tiantian can eat them whenever you want to.
Shu Jintian slowly raised his head, looking at Hanyu with gleaming eyes.
Really? Then okay! If he could bring more eggs back and leave them at home, it would be very convenient when he wanted to eat them. Shu Jintian couldnt help but imagine the bird eggs as chicken eggs that could be cooked into various culinary delicacies, and saliva immediately overflowed.
Shu Jintian was looking forward to it, and his mood also became better. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth with the water in the shell, then boiled the remaining water and ladled it into a cup and left it to the side to cool. He then peeled a few small sweet potatoes, chopped them into small cubes and cooked them to eat.
These sweet potatoes were small, but were the sweet type. Even if it was boiled in water, it was still very fragrant and sweet. Ever since Shu Jintians appetite grew, he could eat five to six palm-sized sweet potatoes for a meal; this was twice the amount of his past food intake. However, his meals had also changed from the past six to seven meals to three to four meals, and he very rarely got up in the middle of the night to cook something to eat as well.
After drinking a cup of hot water to moisten his throat, Shu Jintian then ate up the sweet potatoes whose surfaces had turned pink. He was unexpectedly still not quite full yet. He rubbed his stomach, yet it was already plump from fullness. Shu Jintian secretly thought, Sure enough, he could only be full if he ate meat.
Hanyu held the female as he spat out his forked tongue. The humidity had gotten denser again; the rainy season for this year seemed to be coming especially quick. He had to hurry to prepare the female to get through winter.
After breakfast, Hanyu carried the female on his back and hurried to the Lanyan Forest. That place was the main habitat for blue water bird species, and many bird species that lived at the edges of the water dwelled there.
The Lanyan Forest was not far from their mountain. Hanyu carried Shu Jintian and glided for no more than about ten minutes when they arrived at a flat terrain, the forest filled with sparse but abnormally tall trees.
The faint sound of deep and resounding waves came to his ears, indicating that this place was not far from the seacoast either. Shu Jintian seemed to almost be able to smell the moist and salty scent of ocean water.
Its here? Shu Jintian raised his head to look at the top of the trees. The overly tall trees and excessively dense treetops prevented him from seeing a single bird nest, but he could still see various coloured feathers on the ground.
Ssss Hanyu spat out his forked tongue, chose the tallest tree, then climbed up with his tail around the female.
Ah! Ill go up myself! Shu Jintian was scared witless. Hanyu was skillful and daring, nimbly and quickly slithering upwards. However, his back part was swinging side to side; it was hard to maintain his balance and his head was also swimming dizzily. He had no choice but to tightly clutch the snakes body before he could have any sense of security.
Hanyu didnt feel at ease leaving the female alone on the ground, and chose a tree branch with lush leaves to put Shu Jintian on.
Hanyu turned his snake form back and spat his forked tongue out at the female. Wait for me!
Even though Shu Jintian was on solid footing, he was still dizzy and nauseous. He laid down on the tree trunk for a good while before he recovered.
Hanyu, you go up first. Ill come after I take a short break. Shu Jintian covered his chest and suppressed his desire to throw up.
Hanyu nodded, then swiftly went up.
Shu Jintian sat up with a hand braced against the tree trunk; a bruising pain immediately shot up from between his thighs and he could only end up sitting with a tilted body.
Huu~ Really fucking painful! When Hanyu wasnt around, Shu Jintian couldnt help exhaling in pain. The foreign feeling in his rear was even more evident than their first time. Shu Jintian glanced up, and seeing that he couldnt find Hanyus figure anymore, carefully placed his hand into his pants and touched his butt.
After so long, his rear was still damp. When he gently brushed against the core of the pain a prickling pain emerged. As expected, his rear entrance had been widened even more. Shu Jintian pitifully expressed distress for his own chrysanthemum.
Only then did Shu Jintian withdraw his hand. Just as he was about to climb up the tree, Hanyu had turned around and returned. In his mouth, he held a greyish yellow bird nest the size of a basketball.
So fast? There really are eggs ah. Let me see! Shu Jintian became tremendously excited and instantly hopped up, nearly missing a step and falling off the tree.
Hanyu rushed down in alarm and coiled around the female with his snake tail before he relaxed.
Hehe let me see the bird eggs. Shu Jintian smiled in embarrassment, his eyes staring straight at the bird egg in Hanyus mouth.
As Hanyu gave the female the bird nest, he couldnt help being concerned about their future descendants. The female liked eating eggs so much; when that time comes, would he also, with their eggies...
The bird nest had six to seven eggs, each the size of a chicken egg, the colour also was a mild pink. If it werent for the bits of white spots on the shell, they truly were identical to a chicken egg.
Shu Jintian took the egg and tapped it, then placed the nest on his legs, took off his shirt and filled it with the eggs.
Shu Jintian smiled at Hanyu before saying, Since the eggs have been picked clean, might as well leave this nest for them ba. Building a nest probably isnt easy ba!
Hearing this, Hanyu gave the female a deep look, bit the egg nest, then turned and went up the tree.
Huh? Why go up again? I meant just leave the bird nest here ah!
However, he had already gone up, so Shu Jintian didnt call out for Hanyu to come back. Perhaps this nests bird owner wouldnt want the nest if it was left here, so it was better to leave it up there too.
These trees were extremely large and tall, each going up to the skies. However, each tree only had one nest.
Time and time again, Hanyu left the female at the middle part of the tree, fetched the eggs, then returned the bird nest to its original place. They robbed five trees consecutively, and the amount of eggs in Shu Jintians shirt was already reaching about thirty to forty eggs.
Hanyu then changed to another location, and found a few nests with ping pong-sized eggs of light blue colour. These few nests overall gave them over twenty eggs.
Hanyu originally wanted to look for a couple more, as when the rainy season arrived, it was also the time for these bird species to hatch. If the female wanted to eat more eggs, they would have to wait for next year.
But Shu Jintians shirt could no longer hold any more eggs, and they would spoil if left for too long too, so the two stopped for now.
Hanyu then hunted for prey at the depths of the forest, and returned to where they left the shell. The prey was skinned and washed clean in the river, then they filled the seashell with water before returning to the mountain.
Hanyu held the prey in his mouth and his hands were balancing water, so Shu Jintian had no choice but to go uphill himself.
Shu Jintian panted for air, his forehead covered in sweat. The pain in his rear was awful, and each step he took would stimulate that place; it was exceptionally hard for Shu Jintian to climb up.
How tiring! Hanyu, Ill go to sleep first! When Shu Jintian finally climbed up the mountain, he collapsed onto the bed, not willing to move a single muscle. Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
Hanyu lovingly touched the females pale sleeping face, gently saying to his ear, Tiantian sleep ba, Ill go cook meat for you.
What replied Hanyu was the gentle sound of snoring
