Chapter 124 - Teddy Is Fearless 4
Yan Jingze, whom Hu Xiu thought was lovable, suddenly remembered one thing—he had no firewood.
In the past, the original owner always rubbed off on others.
Yan Jingze thought for a moment, then finally went to his mother’s elder brother with the cheek to share his fire.
This man is over sixty years old. He hasn’t participated in hunting for a long time, but he can go out to collect things and gather firewood.
Most importantly, this person’s attitude towards the original owner is not bad.
After all, there is a blood relationship.
Yan Jingze walked towards the old man, sat down beside his fire, took out the fruit shell, and put it on the fire.
After putting it on it, he scooped some water from the small wooden bucket next to him and poured it into his shell.
This water, of course, is also the old man’s.
Yan Jingze looked at the old man with a little embarrassment.
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at him, without saying a word, he continued to stare at his own fruit shell.
The heat conductivity of the shell is not very good, so cooking is relatively slow. At this moment, everyone is waiting for the meat inside to be cooked, while eating various plants that have been distributed.
Yan Jingze picked up a wild plant, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. His face turned dark.
This thing is really unpalatable.
He used to transmigrate to various animals and ate grass a lot at that time, however, an animal’s taste bud is different from human. They have a very dull taste bud, so he always thought that grass was delicious.
But now, he has become a human being.
The human sense of taste is too developed…He now finds this grass unpalatable!
Of course, he being like this is also related to the fact that the original owner has been raised very carefully by his parents – while other people are starving, even if the food isn’t good, they won’t be so picky.
Those people’s taste buds are also far lower than the original owner.
Healing needs nutrition, no matter how unpalatable it is to eat…Yan Jingze sighed and continued to eat the plants in his hand.
He slowly ate all the plants, then at this time, the water in his shell finally boiled.
Some people have already eaten their roasted meat!
Roasting meat is faster than cooking meat, but he only has such a little meat, it will become smaller after roasting, so he won’t be full at all. It’s better to boil it and drink the soup with it to fill his stomach.
Yan Jingze was very hungry. His eyes were red looking at the meat cooked in the shell.
At this moment, his uncle said his first sentence to him: “This time, don’t eat all the meat at once.”
“Okay.” Yan Jingze said.
“The hunting team will go hunting the day after tomorrow, they may not be able to catch any prey.” The old man said again.
The hunting team cannot guarantee to catch prey every time!
In addition, sometimes the prey caught is very small…In that case, let alone nearly two catties of meat like today, half a catty is not bad!
Therefore, most people will save their own food. Food is definitely a hard currency in the tribe.
“I will.” Yan Jingze said. His injuries are serious, he used all his strength just to come out today. He can’t hunt for the time being, so he should really save food.
Yan Jingze decided to eat only one-third of the meat.
Meat will shrink when cooked, not to mention people in this world have a big appetite…
The original owner let his eating loose, he could eat three or four catties of meat in one meal, but now he can only eat more than half a catty…Yan Jingze waited for the meat to be cooked, then first, he gritted his teeth and drank the unpalatable broth, and then ate one-third of the meat, then slowly returned to the tree hole with its own shell.
When the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe dig holes in the giant trees, they are very careful not to damage the giant trees.
They usually dig a small hole about one meter above the ground in the giant tree, which can only allow one person to get in, and then carefully hollow out the middle of the giant tree.
They’ll dig down a little bit, then try to go up without digging to the sides so as not to damage the bark.
Of course, because the giant tree is so big, they can often dig out a circular place with a diameter of about two meters for themselves to sleep in.
After digging, they will smear mud on the inner wall of the tree hole, dry it with a small fire, then finally spread hay, which is a perfect place to live.
There are also some people who don’t like living in tree holes and will choose to build a treehouse on the tree. However, such people will still live in tree holes in winter.
Where the Giant Tiger Tribe is located, winter is not too cold, but there will still be a period of time when ice about a finger thick will form on the nearby creek.
The original owner’s tree hole was quite big, which was dug by the original owner’s parents when he was twelve years old.
When the original owner’s parents passed away, there were actually many utensils in the original owner’s tree hole, such as buckets and wooden bowls, but now those are all gone—the original owner was hungry, so he exchanged them for food.
Food represents life, like the original owner’s uncle, he would say something to the original owner but he would not give the original owner food.
The main reason is those that steal other people’s food…will be driven out of the tribe.
Yan Jingze put his fruit shell with meat beside him and lay down in the tree hole.
Boiled meat is actually very very unpalatable.
But that’s meat too!
He really wanted to eat up all the meat.
But if he did that, he won’t have anything to eat tomorrow.
In order to divert his attention, Yan Jingze finally released his mental force and began to explore the surrounding situation.
His mental force is very very strong, but under this world’s suppression, he can cover an area with a radius of about fifty meters at most.
In such a small place, even the living places of their tribe can’t be completely covered, but even so, he can already see what the tribesmen living near him are doing.
There are a lot of people ‘drilling tree holes’.
Yan Jingze couldn’t hold back and thought of Hu Xiu again.
At this time, Hu Xiu was also thinking about Yan Jingze——what is Yan doing now?
This evening, he has been secretly observing Yan. He found that Yan did not eat up all the meat at once as before.
Is Yan finally awake, knowing that after losing his parents, he needs to plan his life well?
But he ate too little, and he was so young…Is he full with just that?
He remembered that Yan used to eat a lot every time.
And…is Yan still chasing Hu Chun like before?
Or, after realizing that he can’t get with Hu Chun, Yan will choose someone else?
Although Yan’s strength is poor, he looks good. He remembers that there were many girls in the tribe who liked him before. He should be able to find a girl who is willing to be with him?
At least, there will be girls willing to drill tree holes with him, right?
This won’t do!
Hu Xiu suddenly sat up from his tree hole.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He suddenly looked at the piece of roasted meat on the shelf next to him.
He roasted about ten catties of meat today. He ate half of it and kept the other half, planning to eat it tomorrow.
After thinking about it, Huxiu took the piece of roast meat and got out of his tree hole.
It was completely dark.
At this time, except for the few people, who were keeping looking at the night sky from their tall tree house, the people in the tribe were already asleep. Even if they were not asleep, they would not leave their residence easily.
As for the guards, they are all outside the tribe and don’t pay attention to the situation in the tribe.
But even so, Hu Xiu was still cautious. He walked forward quietly, and finally came to Yan’s tree hole.
He wants to give meat to Yan and drill into Yan’s tree hole.
However, Yan likes Hu Chun and doesn’t like him. If he knew that the meat was sent by him, he would definitely refuse.
Hu Xiu thought for a moment, then finally tore open the vine door that Yan used to block the tree hole and threw the meat in.
After throwing it in, he turned and left.
Yan Jingze: “…”
After Yan Jingze looked around with his mental force, he realized that he had made a mistake.
He now has a body, and therefore, using mental force will consume physical energy!
After using his mental force to observe the surrounding situation, he became even hungrier…
No, it’s not just about being hungry, his body is overdrawn!
Yan Jingze could only eat up the meat he had cooked before.
Forget it, let’s just eat it all. His body is injured now and he can’t hunt, but he can use his mental force to catch some insects and eat them. It should be enough to fill his stomach.
While thinking about it, Yan Jingze felt someone coming to his tree.
He used a little mental force to observe and saw Hu Xiu.
Hu Xiu stood at the entrance of his tree hole for a while, then suddenly opened his door and threw a piece of meat inside.
Yan Jingze: “…” He was almost injured!
This is a big piece of meat that has been roasted out of moisture!
Wait, why did Hu Xiu give him meat? Sympathize with him?
But before, Hu Xiu had never given meat to the original owner…
Wait, the original owner was in good health before and didn’t need Hu Xiu to give him meat, but now, he is injured.
Hu Xiu gave him meat because he was afraid that he would starve to death because he was injured?
What a nice guy!
Yan Jingze hugged the meat and took a bite.
With this bite, he was even more grateful to Hu Xiu.
This roasted meat is really much more delicious than boiled meat!
Although it’s a bit hard, it’s very fragrant! What’s more, there’s salt in it!
There is salt in their tribe, but salt is more precious than meat.
The original owner’s mother named the original owner ‘Yan’ because she thought the original owner was very precious.
Every winter in the Giant Tiger Tribe, some people will be arranged to go to other tribes to exchange salt. After the exchange, they will be distributed to the people in the tribe.
The original owner’s parents had originally left some salt for the original owner, but the original owner had already traded it for meat.
Yan Jingze ate a third of the roasted meat before he felt alive.
He lay down to rest, then slowly absorbed the spiritual energy around him to repair his body.
Ribs, leg bones, internal organs, muscles…The original owner’s injuries were really serious, otherwise the original owner would not have died.
Yan Jingze has already started to sleep, but Hu Xiu is still struggling.
He gave Yan meat.
Based on his knowledge of Yan, he would probably eat it…If Yan ate it, wouldn’t he be able to drill into Yan’s tree hole?
However, Yan didn’t know that the meat was sent by him, so he might be unwilling…
The more Hu Xiu thought about it, the more he struggled, and after a long time, he finally fell asleep.
In the dream, he drilled into Yan’s tree hole, and Yan pressed him down…
When Hu Xiu woke up the next day, his face was dark.
It’s alright if he wants to drill into Yan’s tree hole, but why is it like this?!
Unexpectedly, he wants Yan to possess him?
T/N: Yan mean salt
