After Xiong Ye said that he looked pregnant, he even laughed out loud.
Zhou Ji had the urge to "execute" him on the spot.
However, even if Xiong Ye looked very energetic, he was still injured, and his injury was very serious … Zhou Ji rubbed Xiong Ye's head and said, "Go to sleep?"
"Zhou Ji, you can't rub my head in the future!" Xiong Ye frowned. Zhou Ji had done this action again and again. He didn't know how many times he had done it!
"Okay." Zhou Ji agreed.
"Let me touch it." Xiong Ye said again, "I kind of want it." Previously, Zhou Ji kept touching his belly, which made him want to do something …
"Don't think about it." Zhou Ji speechlessly pushed him into the bed to lie down — thinking about it when he was so seriously injured, he was making things difficult for himself!
Xiong Ye could only lie down helplessly and sleep.
He wanted to do it himself, but his arm was also injured.
And … he was actually quite uncomfortable.
Xiong Ye said that he wanted it, and after he really lay down, he quickly fell asleep and slept very soundly.
Probably because he was too tired, he, who usually never snored, started snoring.
Zhou Ji pinched his nose, and he turned his head to sleep, and stopped snoring. Seeing this, Zhou Ji went to look at his leg.
During the day, Zhou Ji wanted to help Xiong Ye take a look at his injury, but after yesterday's torment, his mental strength was the most seriously damaged. It was only now that he was a little better that he could help with the examination.
And he was not in a hurry because Xiong Ye seemed to be in good condition.
As a result, after this examination, Zhou Ji was stunned.
Xiong Ye's leg was broken, and the bones inside were crooked. Not only that, in addition to scratches on the surface of his body, his internal organs were also injured.
Xiong Ye's injury was very serious, and it was unknown how he could still come and go in the cave during the day, and even smile at him.
Zhou Ji tried to use his mental strength to help him straighten the bones, but just as he was about to use up his mental strength, he could only lie down and rest.
Fortunately, although Xiong Ye was seriously injured, he was not like Niu Er, whose crystal core was about to collapse …
At dawn the next day, someone came to their cave. It was the priest.
The priest was busy picking up meat all day yesterday, and had no time to come over. He only came to look at Xiong Ye's injury now.
"The wounds on your body are fine, but you must be careful of your leg." The priest brought some herbs over for Xiong Ye to apply on the wound. "You have to pray to the Beast Deity every day. Ask the Beast Deity to bless your leg so that it doesn't grow crooked."
Some people who lost their arms or legs could grow back, but some would become crooked. His teacher had once told him that the reason why those people's bones became crooked was because they had blasphemed the Beast Deity. It was because they were disrespectful to the Beast Deity that they were punished.
However, he and his teacher would not speak of this matter to anyone else.
Because his teacher had a lame leg. He used to be a priest of a big tribe. After being lame, he was driven away by the big bear tribe and became the priest of the big bear tribe.
His teacher had been remorseful his entire life, feeling that he must have done something wrong, angering the Beast Deity and causing him to be crippled.
At the same time, his teacher didn't tell anyone in the tribe about this secret. He only told him, and he didn't tell anyone in the tribe.
Those warriors only got injured and their bones became crooked because they were protecting the tribe or hunting. Even if they had done something wrong, they had already been punished. He felt that he shouldn't hurt them anymore.
Now that Xiong Ye's leg was injured …
The priest said again, "You are a good child. The Beast Deity will definitely bless you!" Xiong Ye shouldn't have done anything to anger the Beast Deity?
Zhou Ji, "…" So the Beast Deity could heal injuries!
Instead of praying to the Beast Deity, he might as well look for him.
"Oh yes, Xiong Ye! Zhou Ji and I discovered that boiling some grass into water can make one's body better. Recently, after eating it, my entire body has become much better … I brought some over for you. You can cook some for yourself, "the priest said and took out a ginseng.
Zhou Ji had accidentally seen this ginseng.
He didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, but when he studied plants, he knew about plants and some herbs that could nourish the body.
He definitely knew about ginseng, so he brought it to the priest. He didn't expect the priest to bring it to Xiong Ye.
With Xiong Ye's current condition … eating some ginseng might not make him better, but it wouldn't make him sick either. Zhou Ji said, "Thank you, priest."
"No need to thank me. You should eat some too. You're too weak," the priest said.
Zhou Ji, "…"
"I have to go, I still have many things to do," the priest said.
"The meat … has Chief thought about how to preserve it?" Zhou Ji asked.
"We plan to preserve it with salt, then everyone can eat more," the priest said with a conflicted expression — they didn't have enough salt!
"I have a way to preserve the meat," Zhou Ji said.
"What way?" The priest immediately asked, looking curiously at Zhou Ji — although Zhou Ji's body wasn't good, the Beast Deity probably pitied him and taught him many skills, such as identifying plants.
"We can use less salt to preserve the meat, then light a fire and smoke it," Zhou Ji said. To preserve bacon for a long time, a lot of salt was needed. In the ancient times of his original country, only the coastal areas would use a lot of salt to preserve meat. Other places couldn't do it.
Then, some places would make bacon.
First, they would use a little salt to preserve the meat, then smoke it to dry the moisture in the meat. In this way, the meat could be preserved for a long time, and it would have a special flavor when eaten.
Of course, some people might feel that it had a smoky taste and didn't taste good.
In short, using this method to preserve the meat, they could save a lot of salt.
Zhou Ji had only seen this method of preserving meat on TV food programs. As for how to do it and how to make the meat taste good, he knew nothing about it.
However, the people in the Big Bear Tribe probably wouldn't mind if the meat didn't taste good, right?
So, as long as the moisture in the meat could be smoked dry, it would be fine.
"Can the meat really be preserved like this?" the priest asked curiously.
"Yes," Zhou Ji said. "It's the same as how you dry the meat into jerky. It can be preserved for a long time. Using fire to smoke it is just faster than using the sun to dry it."
"I'll try!" the priest immediately said.
There was no shortage of firewood in the tribe. Even if there was … there was still a mountain of firewood waiting for them to pick up!
The priest found someone and quickly lit a fire in a pit. Then, they smoked the meat on top of it until a piece of black meat came out.
The meat had a smoky smell and didn't taste good. But it was dry, so it should be able to be preserved for a longer time …
The people in the tribe immediately got busy and started to make the meat.
Picking up the meat, making the meat, eating the meat … The people in the Big Bear Tribe were busy for five to six days. Everyone had put on a lot of weight.
Then, the tribe officially ran out of salt.
Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye ran out of salt too.
After the collective salt in the tribe was used up, the priest asked everyone to take out their personal salt. It was like the tribe had borrowed it from them. Naturally, they had to hand it over.
Zhou Ji didn't care too much about this. Xiong Ye was injured and couldn't hunt. Every day, he would go out for a walk and secretly eat outside, bringing back some fruits and vegetables to eat. He was too lazy to cook, so naturally, he didn't need salt. As for Xiong Ye …
Xiong Ye didn't mind eating the roasted meat sent by the tribe at all. Now, he ate at least 40 kilograms of meat every day. He ate so much that his belly bulged almost every day. Then, not only did his human form become a little fatter, his beast form also grew a lot bigger. His fur was even shiny.
Beastmen's bodies were really good, and meat that contained energy was really a great tonic for beastmen.
The only depressing thing was that Xiong Ye was injured, so there were many parts of his body that didn't have any fur …
Xiong Ye was a little annoyed about this. Zhou Ji, on the other hand, felt that a little bear without fur looked pretty good.
That day, all the meat in the tribe was finally cleared out.
There was still a bloody and rotten smell in the col, but it was much better than before … Zhou Ji made a few flower pots with wood and planted a few pots of fragrant flowers in their cave. The smell in the cave was much fresher.
And that night, the priest was having a meeting in the col.
Zhou Ji rested for a few days, and his injuries were all healed. Correspondingly, Xiong Ye's injuries were also much better with his help.
But Xiong Ye didn't know how to use that energy. The energy that he sent into Xiong Ye's body could only be used up to one-tenth, which was really a pity.
In order to avoid being discovered, he couldn't treat Xiong Ye's injuries as soon as possible.
The ground in the col had been soaked in blood for the past few days. It was sticky when stepped on, but not muddy — the mud here was especially solid!
"Zhou Ji!" "Xiong Ye!" The people in the tribe smiled and greeted Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye. Their attitude towards Zhou Ji was very good.
Although Zhou Ji was very weak, the priest said that he was the one who thought of the method of smoking meat this time!
The people in the tribe were very grateful to Zhou Ji. Even those who originally had opinions about Zhou Ji didn't look at him sideways anymore — Zhou Ji had helped them preserve so much meat!
They really didn't expect that Zhou Ji, who was originally so stupid, could actually become smart.
The people in the tribe were very grateful to Zhou Ji. The priest even rewarded Zhou Ji — he gave him a big, bright red wreath.
Zhou Ji didn't want it.
But Xiong Ye liked it, and happily hung it around his neck.
