This elephant bird weighed four to five hundred kilograms, about the same weight as Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye carried it on his back and ran until he was exhausted. However, they walked a little far, so after running for two hours, they just reached the vicinity of the tribe.
"It's safe here. Let's go to the river to wash up and split up this elephant bird." Hu Yue suggested.
Xiong Ye nodded in agreement — he couldn't carry it anymore.
The three of them came to the stream and separated the entire elephant bird.
The skin and the fur were all given to Hu Yue, who wanted to make a warm nest. As for the meat inside, Xiong Ye took four-tenths, including a large bird leg, while Hu Yue and Xiong Bai each took three-tenths.
Previously, Xiong Ye had put in the most effort in hunting the elephant bird, and he was the one who carried it along the way, so his internal organs were also given to him.
The three of them split up, and Xiong Ye carried the big bird's leg and walked towards the col.
The meat, bones, and internal organs that he received added up to more than two hundred catties. If properly preserved, it would be enough for him to eat for more than twenty days.
However, he did not have enough salt on hand. It was not easy to preserve so much meat … He did not know when the salt exchange team would return.
As soon as Xiong Ye and the other two entered the col, they attracted a crowd of onlookers. The people in the tribe were all envious.
"Xiong Ye is really amazing, he hunted another prey!"
"So much meat!"
"Xiong Ye goes hunting with Hu Yue now. Did he really break up with Shi Li?"
…
"Speaking of Shi Li, he didn't do anything during these few hunting trips. He doesn't seem to be as powerful as others say!"
"Shi Li knows a lot and has taught us many things."
"What's the point of just talking?"
"Don't talk about Lion Li. You didn't even put in as much effort as Lion Li!"
…
During the recent few hunts, although Shi Li went, he did not contribute much, causing some people in the tribe to have opinions about him.
However, some people felt that this was nothing — Shi Li had told them many things, and he was actually very powerful.
In the end, everyone became envious of Zhou Ji. "Zhou Ji lives with Xiong Ye. Even if he can't get any meat, he still has bones. He's really lucky!"
When Zhou Ji returned, he heard such words.
He agreed that he was quite lucky. Xiong Ye was a person who was easy to get along with.
But were these people saying that because Xiong Ye had hunted a big prey again?
Zhou Ji carried some plant branches on his back and some vegetables in his hands as he slowly crawled towards Xiong Ye's cave.
"You're back!" Xiong Ye's voice rang out. Then, he took the things from Zhou Ji's hands. "Where did you go?"
"I picked some wild vegetables near the tribe," Zhou Ji said. They had finally reached the entrance of the cave.
Then, he was shocked — he saw an extra-large chicken leg!
Even mutated chickens at the end of the world did not have such a big thigh. This thigh looked quite delicious …
"What is this?" Zhou Ji asked.
"This is the elephant bird I caught. Do you want to try it?" Xiong Ye said, "The taste of this bird meat is better than dinosaurs."
When Zhou Ji heard Xiong Ye's words, he was slightly taken aback. Finally, he said, "Thank you."
After thanking him, Zhou Ji frowned and looked at Xiong Ye. "You're injured?"
"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Xiong Ye said.
When the elephant bird used its claws to scratch Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye was in beast form, so the wound was not deep. Now, there was a deep and long bloodstain on his stomach, as well as two shallow bloodstains.
The two shallow bloodstains were really nothing, but the deep bloodstain looked a little hideous. The flesh inside could be seen. Xiong Ye should have gone to the water to wash the wound before. The wound was soaked in water, and the surrounding area was a little white.
Such a wound, if it was before the end of the world, would be considered very serious by Zhou Ji. It would be even more serious in the end of the world — zombies had viruses on their bodies. If there was such a big wound in the end of the world, they would most likely die!
"Such a big wound is still a minor injury?" Zhou Ji looked at Xiong Ye with dissatisfaction. "I … I brought back some healing herbs for you to use."
As Zhou Ji spoke, he rummaged through the vegetables he brought back. Then, when Xiong Ye was not paying attention, he sprouted a plant with healing effects.
As a plant psychic, he naturally knew some of the effects of plants when he came into contact with them.
Of course, he recognized this grass because he had seen pictures of it on Earth.
"It's Panax notoginseng. How do you know it can stop bleeding? Did your mother tell you? "Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji curiously and said," Give it to me. "
Zhou Ji gave the Panax notoginseng to Xiong Ye. Then, Xiong Ye took the plant and chewed it. Finally, he applied the chewed up herb to his wound.
It should be a little painful, but from beginning to end, Xiong Ye's expression did not change.
Xiong Ye's hair was similar to the color of his beast form, slightly darker, dark brown. His eyes were black, and his eyebrows were very thick.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and wheat-colored skin. In general, Xiong Ye was very good-looking.
For the people in the tribe, because he had just become an adult, his shoulders were not broad enough, and his body was not thick enough. But it had to be said that his body was very in line with the aesthetics of a modern person like Zhou Ji.
This was a very handsome 18-year-old boy.
Xiong Ye was next to him. Zhou Ji could not use his mental power to control the vines, so he took the stone knife and prepared to cut the meat.
In the end, before he could do anything, Xiong Ye said, "I'll cut it! How do I cut it? "
Zhou Ji let him cut the meat of the elephant bird piece by piece. One part was cut into large pieces, and the other into small pieces.
Zhou Ji threw the small pieces of meat into the water to cook, and put some salt into the large pieces. Then, he chopped up a few kinds of "grass" that he brought back and put them in, mixing them and marinating them.
Some of these "grass" could improve the taste, and some were good for Xiong Ye. For example, it could calm his nerves, and it also contained energy.
The stone pot cooked very slowly. After a while, the water boiled, and then … there was a layer of foam in the pot.
Zhou Ji skimmed off the foam and continued to cook. At the same time, he began to prepare to roast the meat.
While roasting the meat, he also gave Xiong Ye the stems of a few plants that he had brought back. "You can chew on this."
"Why should I chew on it?" Xiong Ye pinched the hard plant that Zhou Ji gave him and asked in confusion.
"It's sweet," Zhou Ji said. Zhou Ji said. This thing was a bit like sugar cane, except that it was not as thick, and it could produce sweet juice when chewed on.
To the people of the Big Bear Tribe, sweetness was a taste that made them feel happy, but they could not eat it — even if some fruits were sweet, they usually did not have the chance to pick those fruits.
Xiong Ye liked sweetness very much. Hearing Zhou Ji say that it was sweet, he held one and chewed on it.
It was indeed sweet!
He chewed it repeatedly in his mouth, and finally swallowed the chewed dregs into his stomach.
"Spit out the dregs after chewing," Zhou Ji reminded him.
"Oh …" Xiong Ye responded, and then spat out the chewed dregs. "This thing is really delicious. Where does it grow?"
"I found it by chance. It's rare," Zhou Ji said.
"Oh." Xiong Ye responded with a bit of pity, and then said, "Zhou Ji, you know so much."
"My mother taught me a lot," Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye did not doubt it. Zhou Ji's mother was very powerful, and she always went out. In her early years, she even wandered outside for two years. It was normal for her to know a lot of plants.
Didn't Grandpa Priest know a lot of plants? According to Grandpa Priest, he did not know much — the previous priest did not have time to teach Grandpa Priest all his knowledge.
However, Xiong Ye felt that Zhou Ji was not a good person. "You should interact more with people. If you give these things to the people in the collection team, they will definitely be willing to take care of you." Zhou Ji was too antisocial!
"I will only give them to you," Zhou Ji said. Actually, he did not have any feelings for this tribe, and even felt that he did not fit in.
The people in the tribe took care of him, but he had sprouted the surrounding plants, so he had already repaid them.
He did not want to have too much to do with the people in this tribe, nor did he want to destroy their lives.
He only wanted to live a quiet life by himself.
Only Xiong Ye was an accident — Xiong Ye had saved him.
He had to give something in return.
Zhou Ji said this without much thought, but Xiong Ye was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered something.
In the tribe, giving food was usually an expression of goodwill. Whoever you gave food to was the same as expressing goodwill.
He was willing to give food to Shi Li previously because he liked Shi Li.
Zhou Ji gave food to him, but Shi Li did not eat the meat he gave to Zhou Ji. Could it be … that he liked him?
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Ji's previous statement that he did not want to eat dinosaur meat because it did not taste good was probably fake … Back then, Zhou Ji's mother had brought all kinds of dinosaur meat home, and kept saying that her son had a good appetite … That could not be fake!
When Zhou Ji's mother was still alive, although he did not leave the cave much, he would sit on the stone platform at the entrance from time to time. At that time, he had clearly seen Zhou Ji eat meat.
Xiong Ye glanced at Zhou Ji, feeling conflicted. He was worried that he had misunderstood Zhou Ji's meaning, and also worried that Zhou Ji had misunderstood his meaning.
Out of sympathy, he had given Zhou Ji meat and even invited Zhou Ji to live with him … Previously, he did not think too much about it, but now that he thought about it, it seemed like he had feelings for Zhou Ji.
While Xiong Ye was conflicted, Zhou Ji said, "There's no water."
"I'll go get some water." Xiong Ye carried a stone bowl to get some water, and at the same time, he began to think about other things.
In the past, he did not cook or eat in his cave, so he did not need to fill his cave with water. A stone bowl was enough, but in the future, when he wanted to cook, the stone bowl would not be enough.
Should he hollow out a piece of wood to make a wooden barrel?
But after the wooden barrel was filled with water, it would quickly become moldy. It would be dark and unappealing …
With this thought in mind, Xiong Ye quickly brought some water over.
Zhou Ji spent a lot of time cooking and roasting the meat, especially the roasted meat. When he was roasting it, he had smeared grease and honey on the outside and slowly roasted it. It was quite time-consuming.
But this kind of roasted meat was especially delicious.
Zhou Ji had to admit that this elephant bird was the most delicious meat he had eaten since he came to this world. In addition, there was Xiong Ye gorging himself at the side, so he accidentally ate too much …
Xiong Ye saw Zhou Ji eat more than five kilograms of meat in one go and was shocked — Zhou Ji's appetite was actually so huge?
