Neighbors in forbidden land

I hurriedly landed at the entrance of the cave, and with my paws, put the snow that had almost melted by half to Yimi who was lying in the cave.

"Hmm... Xiaohei? This is..." Yimi, who looked a little better than before, stretched out her hand tremblingly, touched the cold snow, and then retracted.

"Xiao Hei...what the hell are you..."

I interrupted Yimi's threadlike inquiry. After all, if she really wanted to ask, it would be difficult for me to explain...

I saw Yimi nodded, then turned over slightly so that her body was facing upwards, and grabbed a handful of snow and put it on her forehead.

"It's so cold..."

After a while, Yimi didn't respond, so I had to flick my tail and continue to wait for Yimi's reaction.

"Comfortable...a little..."

As the snow on Yi'ermi's head became less and less, I saw that Yimi's brows gradually relaxed. I don't know if it was snow or sweat that slid down her temples and neck.

At this time, the sun had already risen, and this desolate land was once again awakened in brilliance. The fragile plants were still growing tenaciously, and there was nothing else.

The flames in front of the cave were also completely extinguished, leaving only a pile of scorched and unburned plants scattered at the entrance of the cave.

"No need..." Yimi said while bending down to drink some water from the ditch where I led into the cave, then grabbed a handful of snow and put it on her forehead, and lay quietly in the cave.

Yimi seemed to have no problem, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only lie quietly in the cave and watch the sun slowly climb higher and higher.

By the way, I listened to Yimi's originally somewhat messy breathing, which became more and more stable.

"The neck... the head... the body... all hurt..." After an unknown amount of time, Yimi suddenly said this.

Is it "fever" again?

"The floor here...is so hard...not even a pillow..." As a result, Yimi just slowly propped up her upper body and slowly twisted her head.

How can we solve the problem of hard ground?

But Yimi didn't seem to need my answer to ask, so she just continued:

"can not fall asleep."

But when Yimi said this, the expression on his face seemed to be less painful, so that means it was better, right?

"Little black..."

But Yimi didn't say anything after calling my name, just sat quietly in the cave without moving.

Sometimes Yimi will be like this, sometimes she will keep ordering me to do this and that, but sometimes she will suddenly fall silent and say nothing.

This time I tried to speak up.

It took me a while to ask my question before Yimi responded from the silence with a small grin on the corner of her mouth.

However, it is a little different from the previous "smile".

"Okay? It's not good at all, it's terrible cough cough!" Yimi's voice suddenly increased, but at the end of the sentence, she covered her mouth and coughed again.

Sure enough, it's still not good enough...

"I said Xiao Hei..." But Yimi didn't listen to my advice, and continued to say, "How did you survive until now..."

It seems that this is not the first time Yimi has asked me this question.

But I feel that this time seems to be different from the last time.

Actually not.

Because I don't need to think about it.

I won't die either.

The world is dead, and neither will I.

"Get used to it, can you get used to it too?" Yimi covered her face with her hands, and continued to say:

"In this place where there is nothing, eating such unpalatable food, living in such an uncomfortable place, doing everything is a kind of trouble, can you get used to it?"

"Okay, Xiao Hei, don't answer anymore, I know you will definitely say that you can get used to it."

"Xiao Hei? Are you there?"

"In the cave?"

Uh... I can't get into this cave at all.

"Can you see me?"

"Then don't read it now, and stay outside for me."

After a brief silence.

Yimi's face, which had already recovered a lot, started to turn red again, and then she said to me in a louder voice than before: "I'm sweating all over, I'm going to take a shower and wash my hair! Xiao Hei, you can't Wash it for me, are you going to take a look at it?"

Oh oh oh, take a shower...

I looked at my paws, and then at Yimi, who was shaking with one hand while puffing up her face and clutching at the hem of her cloak.

I really can't help with this... I guess it will be... um, um.

"There's no basin, no towel, no acacia, no ointment, no hot water, and only one stupid, useless blackie. How can I wash it?"

From just now, Yimi's emotions are a little bit wrong... But I can't refute the part of what she said that I can understand...

"Still laughing? Blackie, you too!"

Same?What's the same?

"Don't be stupid at a time like this, Xiao Hei, go and wash yourself clean!"

I never take a shower-

"Xiao Hei, don't tell me you never take a bath."

Yimi's voice changed from the loud voice just now, and suddenly became very deep.

Why does Yimi know?

"Little black..."

"You also washed it for me, wash it seriously, until I am satisfied!"

"ocean?"

As a result, Yimi's voice became a little lower, and I, who was about to leave directly, fell down involuntarily.

If my body really wants to "bath", it can only be in the sea...

"Little, black, huh?"

Eh?Is there something wrong?

Why is Yimi's mood still not improving?

I hastily retracted my tail and wrapped it around me, waiting for Yimi's instructions.

"Bathing in sea water, Xiao Hei, do you want to wash your body with salt? This way you can also wash it clean? What are you thinking?"

It turns out that it can't be cleaned!I thought that as long as water is enough... Does this mean that humans can't drink sea water...

"Then Xiao Hei, are you going to roll in the mud?"

After a brief silence.

Yimi raised a hand to cover her face:

"Xiao Hei... are you a pig?"

After all, I have seen pigs too, and I look nothing like pigs.

"You think... yes, I also think Xiao Hei, you are not a pig."

"Xiao Hei, you are just an idiot."

"A complete idiot."

Huh?

I turned to look at my tail.

How did Yimi know that I have a tail?

Has she noticed that I'm not human anymore?

Just when I was wondering——

"Okay, let's start now, Xiao Hei, wash me with the water outside, wash my hands, feet, head and body, and don't pollute the water, I still want to drink it."

It seems that I didn't pay attention...is it just a coincidence...

"Xiao Hei? Make a fire at the entrance of the cave, otherwise it will be too cold, don't catch a cold."

So I ran to the volcano to the east to get some magma back, and set the plants on fire at the entrance of the cave according to the previous method.Now it has become a situation where Yimi takes a bath in the cave and I take a bath outside the cave.

It's just...how do I wash it?

The sound of rushing water can still be heard in the cave, and Yimi seems to have started.

"Well...the water is so cold, can't it be warmed up..."

Yimi's voice could be heard coming from the cave.

Is this... can magma heat water...

If you don't feel like it, don't try it.

clap clap.

"Hiss...the water is so cold—"

You can hear the sound of Yimi slapping her body with water continuously.

"Xiao Hei? Are you washing? Why is there no sound at all?"

I hurriedly used my paws to pick up some water from the ditch and slapped it on myself.

However it didn't help.

"Hmph...don't be sloppy...I will check later..."

"So what if I can't see it? I don't know how to use... use to smell it?

This is a bit troublesome...

I don't know if my body smells or not.

If it has a smell different from that of human beings...Yimi saw through it...

Then it's time to—

"Yeah! It hurts!"

As a result, Yimi's exclamation suddenly came from the cave, and I hurriedly poked my head to the cave entrance to confirm Yimi's situation.

As a result, Yimi, who was naked, fell to the ground with her back to the hole, hugging her hair and body with her hands.

Her back, which was fairer than snow, was just exposed to the swaying firelight, and the orange-red flame seemed to add a bundle of long hair woven with brilliance to her delicate skin.

"It hurts... It hurts to trip over my own hair..."

"Ah... I'm fine, Xiao Hei?"

"... You you you you saw?" Yimi hurriedly stretched out her hand to block her back, but she couldn't reach it at all.

I feel... Even if I stretch it out, I can't stop it, right?Thighs, buttocks, back, neck...how can these parts be blocked without clothes?

Oh, by the way, so the two little white clothes under the cloak are used to cover the chest and buttocks.

Hey, did I do something... that violated human etiquette?

"I, all, said, oh, the one who told you to stay outside is here to peek again!"

Yimi with a flushed face whipped up the water in the ditch and hit me outside the cave.

"Little Hei, you big pervert, big pervert!"

Yimi's shouts mixed with the splashing water, and they circulated repeatedly in the cave, with endless lingering sounds.
