National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

The original plan was to harvest 10 "activity treasure chests" today and then return to the shelter, but unexpectedly on the way back we encountered a group of blood-sucking ants, numbering more than twenty.

This is what you think!

After a fierce battle, all the blood-sucking ants were finally wiped out. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and the drizzle began to fall again. At this time, we were still a long way from the tree hole shelter.

Shen Nan had no choice but to find another place nearby to shelter from the rain.

"I'm living this way, moving from place to place every few days. I'm almost becoming a wandering herdsman..."

Shen Nan gently shook off the water droplets on the cotton cloth, picked up a few yellow leaves, and prepared to build a fire to keep warm.

It was drizzling outside and the lighter was no longer useful, but fortunately he had a plan to deal with it.

He took the expensive "fire stick" off the shelf in the trading area, then skillfully pulled out the cork and carefully poured the burnt charcoal inside onto the dead leaves.

Shen Nan lay on the ground, puffed up his cheeks, and blew at the pile of charcoal and leaves for a long time. Finally, a faint flame stubbornly peeked out from among the dead leaves.

Then quickly build the chopped wood into a triangular bonfire to allow the fire to spread.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen Nan coughed repeatedly due to the thick smoke. He couldn't help but complain, "Oh, luckily Uncle Ren made this wooden barrel for me and put some used charcoal in it in advance. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to light a fire on this rainy day. I don't know how other people are going to make a fire."

Before, Shen Nan felt that it was too troublesome to let Fanfan use a lighter all the time, so he tried to store the burning wood directly into the space backpack, thinking that he could use it directly when he took it out next time.

But the result was that as soon as the wood entered the space backpack, the flame was instantly extinguished.

He tried to put it on the trading area again, but the result was the same.

After many experiments, I realized that only by placing the burning charcoal in a completely enclosed container can the fire be preserved intact.

There is no need for a fully enclosed container. The flames of burning wood will be extinguished immediately whether it is stored in a space backpack or put on the shelf in the trading area.

Watching Shen Nan's series of actions, the little fur ball coughed repeatedly due to being choked. It came to his side with light steps and said seriously: "If you want to light a fire, why don't you call me for help?" It awakened the fire ability after upgrading!

Shen Nan was speechless for a moment, "This..."

Only then did he realize why he hadn't thought of the little fur ball! But he refused to admit that it was because of his bad memory, "It's because you usually don't do anything, so I didn't react for a while!"

Then, he softened his tone and continued, "But in the future you can be more proactive like Fanfan."

"Why should I be like Fanfan?" The little fur ball tilted his head, full of confusion.

In its view, itself and Fanfan are completely different.

It is equal to the human in front of it, and it still clearly remembers that it made a contract with Shen Nan because of his words "I will support you".

Therefore, in its heart, Shen Nan was willing to raise it and provide it with food and drink.

It only needs to help predict the future occasionally, let him hold it while sleeping, and stroke its fur, which is the way to repay him.

The little fur ball's question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Nan's heart, and making him stunned for a moment.

Only then did he come to his senses and realized that Little Maoqiu and Fanfan were indeed very different.

There is a master-servant contract between Fanfan and him, sharing life and death. If he dies, Fanfan will die with him. But he will be safe and sound when Fanfan dies.

As for the little ball, the contract between them is an equal one, and both parties can terminate it voluntarily. Even if one party terminates the contract by force, they will only suffer some backlash and will never lose their life. If one party unfortunately passes away, the contract will be terminated automatically.

But during the time they spent together day and night, Shen Nan had already regarded the little ball of fur as a family member and had never thought that there would be a day when they would be separated.

At this moment, he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Then...will you cancel the contract with me and leave me?"

The little fur ball tilted his head and asked back: "Why should I leave you? Don't you want to continue to support me?"

"Of course not, I will always support you." Shen Nan responded quickly.

"Since you will always support me, I will definitely not leave you. I can eat a lot of delicious food when I am with you." The little fur ball said with certainty.

With so many delicious foods, of course it doesn’t want to leave!

Shen Nan was delighted to hear what the little fur ball said, and took the opportunity to instill ideas into it: "Since we are not canceling the contract, we are a family, and family members should take care of each other."

As he spoke, he pointed at Fanfan who was standing beside him, "Like Fanfan, she would take the initiative to help me do things she could and take care of me. If Fanfan got hurt, I would be very sad too."

The little fur ball nodded as if he understood, "It would be sad for me to see you get hurt."

"Yeah, I know, so we are a family!" Shen Nan affirmed with a smile.

After Shen Nan finished speaking, he continued to busy himself with other things.

"A family?" The little fur ball murmured softly, lying lazily beside the fire, looking at Shen Nan and Fan Fan's busy figures with gentle eyes.

Its thoughts flooded back like a tide, and images of it living in the nest with its brothers and sisters emerged in its mind.

At that time, the father went out hunting every day, and the mother stayed in the nest, patiently waiting for his return.

I remember one time, my father was injured and my mother was sad for a long time.

During the first few days, the mother had to take care of the cubs, tend to the injured father, and go out hunting.

Although they often suffered from hunger and food shortages during that period, their mother still took good care of them and did not abandon any of them.

It was immersed in the long river of memories, its thoughts drifting to its previous life in the nest and its experiences after leaving the nest, until Shen Nan's voice awakened it.

"Little fur ball, stop daydreaming and come and eat the roasted rabbit meat." Shen Nan held two skewers of roasted rabbit meat in his hands and shook them gently towards the little fur ball, with a smile on his face.

The little fur ball twitched his nose slightly. The cave was filled with a strong smell of barbecue and spices.

Shen Nan took the roasted rabbit meat piece by piece and placed them neatly on a clean leaf. He sprinkled some chili powder on the rabbit meat and said, "Eat it quickly. I just got this packet of chili powder in the trading area. It's just a small packet. It will be gone after you finish it."

Looking at the fragrant and greasy rabbit meat on the leaves, the little fur ball couldn't help but saliva. He lowered his head and was about to feast on the food, but when he saw Fanfan who was still busy, he hesitated again.

It stretched out its claws and gently pushed the rabbit meat, "Fanfan, eat first."

In its memory, Fanfan is always the busiest one, just like its former father.

At that time, every time the father came back from hunting, he would let the mother and the cubs enjoy first, but the mother would always save a good piece for the father.

In their fox clan, usually the female foxes and cubs eat first, and the male foxes eat last, but by the end there is often not much left, or only some scraps.

So the mother would specially save a good piece for the father, and then take care of the little fox cubs.

Shen Nan said that they are a family now, and Fanfan is responsible for hunting, while he just plays all day, so the first portion of delicious food should be enjoyed by Fanfan first.

Fanfan, who was called, was stunned for a moment, and the vine holding the roasted rabbit was almost burned by the flames.

The little fur ball has always been free to do whatever he wants and does things according to his heart. On weekdays, he is most active only when eating, and he has never asked people to eat first.

This sudden show of goodwill not only left Fanfan at a loss, but also confused Shen Nan for a moment.

Seeing that Shen Nan and Fanfan didn't move, the little fur ball's face turned slightly red, and it said softly: "I'm not hungry yet, you guys eat first." After saying that, it swallowed its saliva, its face full of reluctance.

Looking at the little ball of fur like this, Shen Nan suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He handed the roasted rabbit meat sprinkled with chili powder to another free vine of Fanfan, picked up a piece of roasted rabbit meat from the leaves and stuffed it into his mouth, then pushed the leaves under the little fur ball's feet, "We have all eaten it, you should eat it quickly too, if you don't eat it now, the rest will be burnt."

Hearing Shen Nan's words, the little ball of fur, who had been unable to hold back, didn't care about who ate first or who ate later, and started to eat with relish.
