Compared to the child's innocence and fearlessness, the woman is obviously more cautious.
When Ji Mingyao looked at them, they didn't look like they were coming in for training from outside, but rather like locals.
She leaned towards Lu Xingyan and asked softly: "Are there any locals in this secret realm?"
Lu Xingyan also didn't know why.
"As far as I know, except for monster beasts and experienced people, there are no humans in the secret realm."
So what's going on with the mother and child in front of you?
Ji Mingyao didn't want to find out the origin. If there were really locals, she would think it was good.
After all, no one knows the secret realm better than its natives.
This will be of great help to her in finding frost grass.
Ji Mingyao moved slightly, trying to show some kindness, but was immediately met with hostility from the woman.
The woman protected the child, pulled out the machete from behind, and stared at the two of them without relaxing for a moment.
"Don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions towards you."
Ji Mingyao softened her stance and released her kindness.
At this moment, the boy suddenly became short of breath.
The woman noticed something was wrong with her child, hugged him anxiously, and called out, "Agu, what's wrong with you?"
The child held the woman's hand tightly, his face turning red from suppressing it.
He opened his mouth wide and breathed hard.
Seeing that the child was about to suffocate to death, Ji Mingyao rushed up, grabbed the child's abdomen, and pushed the child up.
She squeezed hard and kept hitting the child's abdomen.
"cough!"
After a few times, the child spit out a small bone with meat.
After spitting out the stuff, the child could breathe smoothly and his face calmed down.
The woman held the child in her arms and cried softly.
"Agu, Agu, are you okay?"
The child seemed frightened and hid in his mother's arms crying without knowing the answer.
Seeing this, Ji Mingyao explained: "He choked on something he ate just now, but he is fine now."
The woman's mind went blank just now, but now she remembered to say thank you.
"Thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After what happened with the child, the woman finally let down her guard against Ji Mingyao and Lu Xingyan.
After the woman's introduction, the two of them had a general understanding of this place.
The woman's name is Ge Xiangniang, and the child's name is Agu.
The two of them live in this forest village.
According to them, they have been living here for generations, for hundreds of years.
Ge Xiangniang took Ji Mingyao and Lu Xingyan back home, and she was very careful along the way.
Ji Mingyao looked at Agu and Ge Xiangniang's costumes and felt that the life of the aborigines might not be very good, but she did not expect that the conditions were so difficult.
Ge Xiangniang and Agu's home, said to be a house, is actually just a pit, with branches, weeds and animal skins covering the entire roof.
Not only is this house damp and cold, but the roof feels like it will blow away if there is a slightly stronger wind.
Ji Mingyao did not dislike the living conditions in this wilderness for survival, but when Ge Xiangniang brought out food, she accepted that she was helpless.
"Do you usually eat this?"
On the table was a basin of yellow soup with no visible ingredients, and an unknown variety of green vegetable leaves floating in it.
When it is stirred, there is still some powder and the like.
As for the taste…
Ji Mingyao really didn't have the courage to put this thing into her mouth.
She gave Lu Xingyan a look and asked him to try it first.
Lu Xingyan looked at the food in front of him, his brows furrowed even more tightly than when he saw the battle report from the Plague Land.
"You are weak and need to eat some meat to replenish your health. I will go hunt some game."
Without waiting for others to refuse, Lu Xingyan quickly stood up and ran out.
Ji Mingyao smiled awkwardly, "Let's set up a grill."
Soon a grill was set up outside, and half of the pig was cleaned, sprinkled with special barbecue ingredients, and put on the grill.
As the roasted pig matured, the aroma came out. Ge Xiangniang and Agu stared at the grill intently. They had never smelled such a fragrant smell.
