Chapter 1302 Extra: Du Fu 28 (Additional Update for Xi Bao)

Fu Miaoxue's climbing movements were skillful and sophisticated, like a big bright green gecko, swishing to the top.

It's just that the skin of this gecko is not very strong. As it climbs up, the white and tender flesh under the green skin is clearly visible, and it is completely exposed.

"..." Du Lai watched silently from below.

When Fu Miaoxue climbed down and handed him two large pieces of dried moss, Du Lai looked at her and couldn't help but ask:

"Are you really the eldest lady of the Fu family?"

Fu Miaoxue was stunned and glared at him inexplicably: "What do you mean?"

Du Lai took the moss and squatted down to light a fire, "It's nothing."

There were flickering sparks burning in the middle of the charred wood. He carefully put the moss on top and ignited it little by little. When the flames jumped up, he added a few twigs and the flames quickly became stronger.

Fu Miaoxue knelt down next to him and asked: "Tell me, what did you mean by that sentence just now? Do you think I am a pirate?"

Du Lai slowly added branches to the fire, "Ordinary rich ladies don't have your skills."

After hearing this, Fu Miaoxue rolled her eyes and smiled, "My grandfather likes to collect strange rocks. There are several rockeries in the garden. I often climb on them to play~"

"You are a wealthy young lady who doesn't play the piano or dance. Why are you climbing the rockery?" Du Lai asked while fidgeting with the branches.

"It's fun~" Fu Miaoxue said, "It's the most fun especially when you climb to the highest position!"

Du Lai didn't understand her hobby and said calmly: "Whatever, as long as you don't have a fear of heights."

Seeing that the fire was strong enough, he started to add some thicker branches, but what Fu Miaoxue pulled over were only thin branches, which could not withstand the burning, so he still had to do it himself.

Du Lai stretched out a hand towards Fu Miaoxue: "Give me that chain."

I gave it all back to her during the previous quarrel.

"What are you doing?" Fu Miaoxue took off the wire chain from her wrist and handed it to Du Lai.

"I'll get some more branches." Du Lai stood up and said, "Don't wrap it around your wrist next time. This thing is not a bracelet and it can be dangerous."

He picked up the wire chain and walked towards a tree not far away.

Fu Miaoxue looked at his back, then lowered her head thoughtfully, looked at her wrist, and murmured: "You care about me so much, does he like me?"

Du Lai over there sneezed.

Fu Miaoxue: "..."

…

Du Lai chose a big tree branch, sawed it off with great effort, and then sawed it into seven or eight sections of similar length.

Because it had rained, the wood was still slightly damp, but it did not affect its use as fuel.

He first placed four branches around the fire, and then added two layers on top like the character "well". The remaining thin branches were all thrown into the center of the character "well".

The fire burned brightly.

In fact, the two of them did not need such a big bonfire, but because they felt uneasy and lacked a sense of security, they subconsciously hoped that the fire would be as strong as possible so that it would not go out.

Fu Miaoxue looked at the flames in front of her, her cheeks were heated, and her heart felt warm.

For the first time, she discovered that when she was in the wilderness, a handful of fire could have such power, making people feel calm and not panic.

"Wouldn't it be destroyed this way?" she asked Du Lai beside her.

"It should be no problem to burn for two or three hours, unless there is another heavy rain." Du Lai looked at the sky that had cleared after the rain, then walked a few steps further, squatted down, and dug in the mud.

Fu Miaoxue saw it and followed him, digging together.

Du Lai asked her: "What are you digging for?"

"Hmm..." she replied doubtfully, "I don't know, maybe... sweet potatoes, potatoes... plant roots or something like that? Aren't you digging this?"

Du Lai: "..."

He picked up a pile of mud chunks, returned to the campfire, and built a low "wall" of wet mud along the fire.
