"Yes, it's delicious. Watermark advertisement test, "Xiong Ye said. The Devil Frog was delicious, and Shi Li liked it very much. In the past, whenever he caught a Devil Frog, it was always for Shi Li to eat.
But now, he definitely had to give it to Zhou Ji!
Zhou Ji did not know how to hunt. Although he went out every day, he could only get some plants. But even so, Zhou Ji would not forget him and would always leave the best for him.
"Okay." Zhou Ji looked at the Devil Frog again. The frog's meat was very tender. This one should be similar?
"I'll go wash it and cook it." Xiong Ye was very excited.
Zhou Ji obviously had no objections and nodded.
Xiong Ye happily skinned the Devil Frog and went to kill it.
Although it was for Zhou Ji to eat, he knew that Zhou Ji would definitely leave some for him.
Xiong Ye had already gone to work. Zhou Ji took the fruits and vegetables he brought back and climbed into Xiong Ye's cave.
Seeing this, Xiong Ye shouted, "Zhou Ji, put the things down there. I'll bring them up for you later."
Zhou Ji smiled and really put the things down.
Shi Li saw the interaction between Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji and found it a little offensive.
Xiong Ye had always been like this, but he had always been treated like this by Xiong Ye. When did it become Zhou Ji?
Zhou Ji had no ability at all, so why was Xiong Ye so good to him?
"Zhou Ji is so lucky."
"After living with Xiong Ye, he gained a lot of weight!"
"Zhou Ji is quite good-looking. Will Xiong Ye be with him?"
…
Someone in the tribe looked curiously at Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji.
Xiong Ye liked men. As for Zhou Ji, although Zhou Ji was weak, he was good-looking!
It was only after living with Xiong Ye that they realized how good-looking Zhou Ji was!
In the tribe, weak men generally could not find a partner. But if he was good-looking, it was a different story. Some women did not care about a man's strength and liked good-looking men.
"Zhou Ji doesn't smell like Xiong Ye. Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Li said.
"Niu Er has been here recently. Maybe there will be one in the future." A young man in the tribe laughed.
Lion Li was inexplicably enraged. Without thinking, he walked towards Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye had already skinned the Devil Frog, chopped off its head and claws, and dug out its intestines. These things were all given to the children waiting at the side. "I killed this Devil Frog with poisonous herbs. When you eat it, you must cook it."
"Got it. Thank you, Big Brother Xiong Ye!" The children smiled and thanked him. They took the food and went to cook.
Xiong Ye carefully washed the Devil Frog on his hand.
"Xiong Ye!" Shi Li stopped Xiong Ye. "Xiong Ye, are you planning to let Zhou Ji stay at your place forever?"
"What's wrong?" Xiong Ye was puzzled.
"Zhou Ji doesn't have any abilities. He's living and eating your food. Don't you think there's a problem?" Lion Li asked. "Or do you want me to be jealous and angry?"
Lion Li did not believe that Xiong Ye would like Zhou Ji. Although Zhou Ji was good-looking, Xiong Ye was not a person who would judge by looks.
However, it was possible that Xiong Ye did this on purpose to make him jealous.
He knew how much Xiong Ye liked him.
"What does Zhou Ji have to do with you?" Xiong Ye looked at Lion Li with dissatisfaction. He felt that Lion Li was crazy — why did he want to make Lion Li jealous and angry? They had nothing to do with each other for a long time!
As for Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji was not without abilities. Although he was very weak, he knew a lot of things. Also … compared to Lion Li, Zhou Ji really did not eat anything from him.
Xiong Ye did not want to talk to Lion Li anymore. He turned around and went back to his cave.
Niu Er had already moved out. Xiong Ye helped him move in the early morning. When he moved out, Xiong Ye gave him a piece of meat.
Niu Er did not refuse and only said that he would return it in the future.
Now there were only him and Zhou Ji in the cave. Xiong Ye suddenly felt that this was pretty good.
Zhou Ji, who had arrived in the cave first, had already lit a fire and started boiling water. Seeing Xiong Ye come up, Zhou Ji gave him a few fruits. "They're sweet."
This kind of fruit was the sour fruit that Xiong Ye often ate to fill his stomach when he was young. He did not like sour taste and did not like to eat this kind of fruit. However, Zhou Ji picked them for him and they were sweet every time.
Zhou Ji must have spent a lot of effort to pick so many sweet fruits.
With this thought in mind, Xiong Ye took the fruit from Zhou Ji and stuffed it into his mouth.
It was really sweet! It was his favorite taste!
Seeing Xiong Ye eat the fruit, Zhou Ji took out some vegetables and planned to cook them in the pot later.
Xiong Ye should eat some vegetables and fruits every day.
In fact, he should also eat some staple food … There was staple food around the tribe. The gatherer team would also take care of these plants. Unfortunately, these plants should not grow in this season.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ji felt slightly helpless.
After the water was boiled, Zhou Ji put the Devil Frog, which had been cleaned and peeled, into the water and added some of his processed salt.
The salt brought back by the salt exchange team had a lot of impurities in it and had a faint bitter taste. However, after adding water to dissolve it, and then boiling it dry, after repeating this a few times, a purer salt could be produced. Recently, Zhou Ji had been using this kind of salt to cook.
"We should save salt …" Xiong Ye said. Halfway through his sentence, he felt a little annoyed.
Zhou Ji used the salt left by his mother. Why did he say "we"?
"There will be more in the future," Zhou Ji said. Since he could exchange for salt in the past, he would definitely be able to do so in the future.
When cooking the Devil Frog, Zhou Ji did not add any other seasoning other than salt. Even so, the cooked Devil Frog tasted delicious and fresh.
Zhou Ji took a frog leg to eat and gave the rest to Xiong Ye. However, he had only taken one bite when Xiong Ye, who was already familiar with using chopsticks, placed the other leg of the Devil Frog into his bowl. "Eat more. That way, you'll have strength."
The most delicious part of the Devil Frog was the two hind legs. Now, they were all his … Zhou Ji glanced at Xiong Ye and lowered his head to eat the meat.
He had contacted Xiong Ye with the intention of repaying his kindness, but Xiong Ye's behavior made him feel … that he would never be able to repay his kindness.
This was not bad.
Previously, Zhou Ji did not have a sense of belonging to this world, but now he did.
The bones of the Devil Frog were not hard, so when Xiong Ye ate the meat, he also chewed on the bones.
He ate all the meat except for the two thighs of the Devil Frog, but it was only enough to fill his stomach. He was about to roast another piece of meat when he saw Zhou Ji throwing a lot of vegetables into the pot that still had a lot of soup left.
Xiong Ye sighed inwardly, having an ominous premonition … Sure enough, when the dishes were cooked, he was given a bowl. "Eating some dishes is good for the body."
Xiong Ye felt that eating meat was good for his body, but he definitely had to eat the vegetables that Zhou Ji specially cooked for him …
After Xiong Ye ate the vegetables, he saw Zhou Ji cooking the meat again.
Zhou Ji had definitely cooked this meat for him to eat.
Xiong Ye was quite happy, but Zhou Ji began to miss the iron pot again — cooking with a stone pot was too time-consuming.
Fortunately, there was nothing to do now, so let it be wasted.
He leaned against the cave wall and habitually began to absorb the surrounding energy, giving some to Xiong Ye.
"Zhou Ji, my beast form has become bigger recently. In a few years, I might become the biggest in the tribe!" Xiong Ye said. His beast form was not as big as Xiong He and Xiong Qi, but it might be in the future!
"Mm." Zhou Ji nodded. Seeing that the meat was cooked, he said, "Do you want to send some to Niu Er?"
Xiong Ye immediately said, "Okay!"
The next day, it was another day for the tribe to hunt together.
After fighting with Shi Li the night before yesterday, Xiong Qi had been staying in his cave, and only came out today. When he came out, his expression was very ugly.
His injuries had become more serious, and he could not participate in the hunt.
This was not good news for a warrior, but Xiong Qi could only accept it. And when he could not participate in the hunt … Xiong He handed over the hunting team that was originally under his control to Shi Li.
No one in the hunting team had any objections. Since Shi Li was strong enough, he could be the leader.
Xiong Ye did not care about Shi Li's matters. During the hunt today, he was even more attentive and tried his best — he did not want to lose to Shi Li.
"Xiong Ye, you are getting stronger and stronger!" Xiong He looked at Xiong Ye with satisfaction.
"I am still not strong enough. I will continue to work hard!" Xiong Ye said. He liked the feeling of becoming stronger.
That day, Xiong Ye's group had a pretty good harvest. Although they failed to catch a horned dragon and some of them were injured, they managed to catch other prey later on.
However, Shi Li's group actually had a better harvest than them. Shi Li even got some dinosaur eggs.
Xiong Ye's fighting spirit was even stronger, while Shi Li enjoyed the compliments of the people around him.
He had lived for a few more decades, so he had a lot of experience. For example, this time, he relied on his own experience to find a dinosaur's nest. In the end, not only did he get a nest of dinosaur eggs, but he also led his men to kill the female dinosaur.
That night, Xiong Ye got 15 kilograms of meat and some liver. Even Zhou Ji got 2.5 kilograms of meat.
Of course, all the meat belonged to Xiong Ye. Zhou Ji was not interested in dinosaur meat.
Zhou Ji was not interested in dinosaur meat, but Xiong Ye had been staying in the col, so he followed him down. He also observed the dinosaur eggs with his mental power.
The baby dinosaurs in the eggs had not yet formed and looked no different from chicken or duck eggs.
"You want to eat dinosaur eggs?" Xiong Ye asked Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji was quite concerned about the dinosaur eggs.
"You didn't get any," Zhou Ji said. There were only five dinosaur eggs in total. Xiong He took one, Shi Li took one, and the warriors who hunted with Shi Li each got one. The remaining two were given to the priest by Xiong He.
The priest was old and had lost his teeth. He could not bite through dinosaur meat. This kind of thing was definitely important to him.
"I picked some herbs today. I can exchange them with Grandpa Priest for dinosaur eggs," Xiong Ye said.
When he went hunting, he would pick some herbs along the way. They were usually given to the priest, and he had already given a lot of them.
It should not be a problem to ask the priest for a dinosaur egg now.
"This can also be given to the priest." Zhou Ji took out a bamboo tube that was about two fingers thick. Inside the bamboo tube was honey.
He felt that the priest would like it.
"It's honey!" Xiong Ye sniffed the bamboo tube. "Where did you get it?" At first, the honey that Zhou Ji had taken out was left for him by his mother. They had already eaten it all.
"I kept some for myself," Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye felt that something was wrong, but he did not suspect anything. He took the honey and the herbs he picked to the priest. After a while, he came back with a dinosaur egg.
However, before he could reach Zhou Ji with the dinosaur egg, Shi Li stopped him. "Xiong Ye, why didn't you tell me that you wanted to eat dinosaur eggs? I can give you my dinosaur egg. "
"There's no need," Xiong Ye said.
Shi Li said, "Xiong Ye, can you stop throwing a tantrum with me? I can't form a partnership with you, but we can still be together. "
Seeing the young Xiong Ye swaying in front of him, Shi Li could not help but feel a little tempted.
"I'm not throwing a tantrum with you, and I won't be with you." Xiong Ye frowned at Shi Li.
"If you don't be with me, who can you be with? Xiong Ye, I know you like me, "Shi Li said.
Xiong Ye's expression was a little ugly.
He really liked Shi Li. Even now, he did not dare to say that he did not have feelings for Shi Li.
Eight years of affection was not something that could be broken just like that.
However, Shi Li had already been with someone else. There would be other men, women, and children, so it was impossible for him to be with Shi Li again.
He had tried hard to forget Shi Li, but for some reason, Shi Li had been swaying in front of him for the past few days and saying such things.
The current Shi Li made him feel very unfamiliar and disgusted. The beautiful memories he once had with Shi Li had all been erased!
"I can be with someone else if I don't want to be with you," Xiong Ye said and walked directly toward Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji sat alone by the fire and roasted meat, looking particularly quiet.
Xiong Ye suddenly remembered what Niuer had asked him before.
Actually, it was really good to be with Zhou Ji …
