The meat of the five-pointed dragon had been washed and cut into pieces. This time, everyone worked together to hunt the five-pointed dragon, so there was not much difference in how much they did. Therefore, the meat given to everyone in the hunting team was about the same.
However, Xiong He watched the entire hunt, so he would give better meat to those who contributed more. For example, when it was Xiong Ye's turn, he gave him a rather large piece of liver.
Everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating a festival, because there was really a lot of meat given today!
The five-pointed dragon weighed five tons. Excluding the bones and skin, there was at least three thousand kilograms of meat, which was six thousand kilograms of meat. There were only about four hundred people in their tribe, and dozens of them had gone to trade for salt. There were only about a hundred people who participated in the hunt …
As a member of the hunting team, Xiong Ye was given forty kilograms of meat, of which about five kilograms was liver. The others were about the same. Even the elderly and children in the tribe were each given five kilograms of meat.
Not to mention that there was bone broth to drink!
There were a few big stone pots in the tribe. According to the priest, there were better pots made of mud in other places.
Of course, the people in their tribe had never seen such a pot. Everyone thought that a stone pot was better than a pot made of mud.
At this moment, the bones were being cooked in these pots, as well as some organs that had a stronger taste and thus were not popular. Orcs liked organs such as liver, heart, and the fat in the belly of their prey. They did not like intestines, but even so, no one would waste them.
This was a rare feast. The old and the weak in the tribe kept their meat and happily waited for the meat broth and wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
Xiong Ye did not drink the meat broth, but roasted the meat alone in silence.
Everyone was very happy that they had caught a big guy today. Only he felt that he did not fit in with all this.
During the previous winter, he did not hibernate all the time. He just slept more. During that period of time, he was half-asleep but half-asleep. He had been thinking about his future life.
He wanted to live with Shi Li and have his own home. He wanted to go home and not be alone.
He had such a good dream, but now …
Xiong Ye tore a piece of meat from the meat he was roasting and stuffed it into his mouth.
His beast form was bigger and his appetite was also bigger. He would eat at least five kilograms of meat every day. Normally, he would eat five kilograms. When there was enough food, he would eat ten kilograms or even more.
After eating last night, he had been out hunting and hadn't eaten anything. At this time, he was roasting meat and feeding himself at the same time. Before he knew it, he had eaten 20 kilograms of meat.
His stomach was full, but he didn't feel as happy as before.
Xiong Ye stared at the remaining half of the meat in his hand for a while before looking in the direction of Lion Li's cave.
Shi Li did not come out to take the meat …
However, when he looked over, he did not see Shi Li. Instead, he saw Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji lived next to Shi Li's house. At this moment, he was sitting on a rock on the platform at the entrance of the cave, looking in his direction.
Xiong Ye was slightly taken aback when he saw that Zhou Ji was alone and did not fit in with the rest of the tribe.
"Zhou Ji didn't come to collect the meat, nor did he come to drink the soup," said a person beside Xiong Ye who was responsible for helping Xiong He divide the meat.
"He didn't come to claim his meat?" Xiong Ye was a little surprised.
"He didn't come to claim his meat many times, but he would bring back some of the things that the harvesting team gathered," the person said. "I specifically asked him, but he didn't say anything."
"If he doesn't claim his meat, isn't he afraid of almost starving to death like last time?" Xiong Ye frowned.
"That's his business. No one else can do anything about it!" The person dividing the meat said. "But he probably won't starve to death. He hasn't awakened and doesn't work, so he definitely eats less than the others."
Xiong Ye felt that this was no good, but after a pause, he realized that he was being a busybody.
He couldn't even take care of his own business, so how could he always take care of Zhou Ji? Zhou Ji had to learn to live on his own.
Thinking of this, Xiong Ye shifted his gaze and saw Wolf Sound, who was sitting with a few women and eating meat.
Xiong Ye had mixed feelings. While the others were still drinking soup and eating meat, he took his meat and left. After a few steps, he went to Xiong He to get Zhou Ji's meat.
When he went over, Xiong He was a little embarrassed. "Xiong Ye, Wolf Sound, she …"
"It's none of her business," Xiong Ye said. If Lion Li wasn't willing, could Wolf Sound force him?
Thinking of this, Xiong Ye smiled bitterly, feeling indescribably vexed.
Xiong He also had opinions about Lion Li.
All these years, Xiong Ye had helped Lion Li a lot, and he had seen it all. He was a little unwilling for the two of them to become partners, but it was because Lion Li couldn't give Xiong Ye a child, but now …
Lion Li actually looked down on Xiong Ye!
Why did Lion Li look down on Xiong Ye?
However, although he had opinions about Lion Li, he couldn't deny that Lion Li was a powerful warrior. Their tribe needed such a powerful warrior, so he wouldn't do anything to Lion Li.
As for the fact that his daughter was with Shi Li … Xiong He planned to tell his own daughter not to give her share of the meat to Shi Li and his family.
Xiong Ye took Zhou Ji's meat and went to find Zhou Ji. "This is your meat."
Zhou Ji: "…" He didn't want it.
Zhou Ji wasn't completely a vegetarian. In fact, when he first came to this world, he had tried dinosaur meat out of curiosity.
Then he realized … it really didn't taste good at all.
In his previous life, before the apocalypse, humans didn't lack meat, and the meat of chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep were all delicious, but that was because these livestock had been domesticated for many years. Generations of livestock with delicious meat were selected and slowly raised.
But even so, mutton had a mutton smell, and without all sorts of seasonings, many people still couldn't get used to it.
As for the wild game … the taste was just so-so, everyone mainly ate it for novelty.
The wild game on Earth was already like this, so how delicious could the dinosaur meat in this place be? The meat of such a huge creature was old and tough!
The cooking skills in this place weren't good, and it could even be said that there wasn't any cooking skills at all!
Of course, the most important thing was that he liked to eat vegetables and fruits.
However, Xiong Ye had good intentions, so Zhou Ji still took the meat and planned to marinate it — the mother of the original Zhou Ji had left some salt for him, which could be used to preserve food.
"Why didn't you take the meat?" Xiong Ye asked. Was Zhou Ji bullied and didn't dare to take it, or did he not know to? After losing his mother, was he living a bad life?
Zhou Ji was thinking about what to say and what to say when the door to the cave beside him opened and Lion Li walked out.
Xiong Ye couldn't be bothered with Zhou Ji and turned to look at Lion Li. He wanted to know what Lion Li would say to him, but Lion Li didn't say anything. After glancing at him, he actually walked away from the other side.
The sky was already dark, but Xiong Ye's eyesight wasn't bad. He saw Lion Li enter Voice of Wolf's cave.
Xiong Ye took a deep breath and couldn't be bothered with Zhou Ji anymore. He turned around and returned to his own cave — he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his expression.
Sadness, discomfort, anger, dissatisfaction … All sorts of emotions filled his heart. He even had the urge to rush out and fight Lion Li.
If Lion Li didn't agree to him from the start, he wouldn't be so upset, but Lion Li agreed.
In the past few months, because Lion Li had agreed, he had been so happy and considerate of Lion Li in every way, giving Lion Li so much meat. In the end, they were about to become partners, but Lion Li suddenly went back on his word. It was fine if he went back on his word, but in just a day, Lion Li had gotten together with someone else.
Xiong Ye admitted that he was very upset. Precisely because of this, he also decided that if Lion Li really got together with Voice of Wolf, then it would be completely over between them.
If Lion Li had only refused to agree to him from the start, then they would still be friends. But now, they couldn't even be friends anymore.
As for the partner that he wanted …
Xiong Ye wanted a partner, but Lion Li's actions suddenly made him unsure if he should find another one.
Xiong Ye sat alone in the cave. After sitting for a long time, he felt a little cold and transformed into his beast form.
The huge brown bear hugged his legs and sat motionlessly in the cave for a long time. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Xiong Ye immediately transformed into his human form and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Zhou Ji.
He was a little disappointed and a little lost.
"This is for you." Zhou Ji gave Xiong Ye a piece of roasted meat.
The piece of meat that Xiong Ye had given him previously weighed no less than five kilograms. He had originally planned to pickle it. Even if he didn't eat it himself, he could give it to others in the future.
But looking at Xiong Ye …
In this tribe, he didn't care about the others, but Xiong Ye was the first person he met after transmigrating to this world. Xiong Ye had even saved him, so he was very grateful to Xiong Ye. Now that Xiong Ye was very upset … Zhou Ji roasted the meat that Xiong Ye had given him and gave it to him as a consolation.
"You want to give me the meat?" Xiong Ye looked at the piece of meat that smelled very fragrant. He didn't know how it was roasted, and he was puzzled.
"You're very sad. I'll give it to you," Zhou Ji said concisely. He wasn't good at consoling people, and he hadn't learned the language of this place.
Hearing Zhou Ji say that he was "very sad", Xiong Ye took a deep breath and his eyes felt a little sore.
He was really very sad, but Lion Li didn't care. The other people in the tribe didn't know that Zhou Ji, who had nothing to do with him, was actually consoling him …
"Thank you, but you can eat it yourself." Xiong Ye didn't accept it.
"I've eaten," Zhou Ji said. Then, he walked out and climbed down again — this bear wasn't wearing any clothes …
Xiong Ye saw Zhou Ji climbing down slowly, but in the end, he didn't follow.
He sat on the spot for a while, then started eating the meat that Zhou Ji gave him.
This was the first time that someone had given him meat.
Lion Li had a younger brother and mother to take care of, and he didn't care about these things. He had never given him anything. At most, he would give him delicious food when they ate together, but that was also what they had hunted together.
Xiong Ye's mood inexplicably became much better.
Zhou Ji didn't know what Xiong Ye was thinking. He returned to his cave and fell asleep early.
