After finding such a small amount of wheat, it wasn't that Jiujiu hadn't searched for it before, but the forest was so big, and she was only a cub. Even if she was a Priestess, Sha Qing couldn't watch over her 24/7. After all, he still needed to eat, so Jiujiu could only move around the edges of the forest.
So after searching for wheat several times and failing to find it, Jiujiu gave up. Now that Huang Sha mentioned it, Jiujiu's eyes instantly lit up.
Almost subconsciously, she grabbed Huang Sha's arm, Jiujiu's eyes shining like the stars in the sky. She looked at Huang Sha and said, "Really? Can you take me there now? "
Huang Sha didn't expect Jiujiu to be so excited. She froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Of course, but that place is a bit far from here. If Priestess is really in a hurry, then you can go now. If you're not in a hurry, then you can go tomorrow?"
Although Jiujiu said it was food, and Huang Sha was willing to believe Jiujiu's words, for her, wheat was after all an unknown. Even if Jiujiu said it was edible, she couldn't see or touch it, so she couldn't believe it.
Huang Sha was also skeptical about the fact that wheat could be eaten. Moreover, this kind of plant was everywhere in the valley. It couldn't run away anyway, so it didn't matter if she went sooner or later.
Seeing Huang Sha swear that there was still a lot more, Jiujiu was instantly overjoyed. She didn't frown anymore, and even picked up the meat soup that Huang Sha put aside and ate it with relish.
Seeing that Jiujiu was finally willing to eat, Huang Sha let out a long sigh of relief. When Sha Qing went to her house and asked her to bring food to Jiujiu, she was a bit dumbfounded. Who in the tribe didn't know that the Priestess was the person who loved to eat the most in the tribe? The person who loved to eat the most had started to go on a hunger strike. No matter who she told this to, no one would believe it.
But fortunately, Jiujiu was willing to eat now.
Huang Sha looked at Jiujiu, who had finished eating, carefully put the few remaining wheat grains in her palm and then returned to the house. She scratched her head in confusion.
Could those messy things really be eaten?
Huang Sha only came back when the sky was completely dark. He saw that there was a small lamp in the room and Jiujiu was making clothes. The corners of Huang Sha's mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a very faint smile.
He pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at Jiujiu and called out, "Priestess."
Jiujiu raised her head and glanced at Sha Qing. When she saw the animal skin bag in his hand, her eyes instantly lit up. She put down the things in her hand and took the animal skin bag. She opened it and asked with a smile, "What's inside?"
"Ah, a little fox?"
Jiujiu thought that there was food in the bag, but who knew that it wasn't food. It was a little fox with a snow-white body. Because it was still small, the little fox was small and cute. She didn't know if it was because Jiujiu was a beastman in fox form, but when the little fox saw Jiujiu, it was especially obedient. When Jiujiu took the little fox out of the animal skin bag, it stuck out its pink little tongue and licked Jiujiu's little finger. It was panting and panting.
How was this a little fox? It was clearly a little puppy.
Jiujiu stretched out her finger and scratched the little fox's little chin. The little fox's mouth immediately let out purring sounds. It was like a little kitten again.
After teasing the little fox, Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Sha Qing. However, she fell into Sha Qing's unconcealed affection. Jiujiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly lowered her head and pretended that she didn't see Sha Qing's eyes. She softly said, "Why did you think of giving me this?"
Sha Qing habitually raised his hand to rub Jiujiu's furry little head. However, when he stretched out his hand, he realized that Jiujiu was already an adult. Her size was no longer suitable for him to rub her head.
Sha Qing regretfully withdrew his hand and frowned slightly. He explained, "Huang Sha said that you would like it."
Actually, it wasn't Huang Sha's idea. It was Sha Qing's idea.
The other female beastmen in the tribe liked beautiful animal skins and ample food. However, Jiujiu didn't like them at all. It wasn't that she didn't like them, but her eyes were always indifferent when she looked at those things. It was as if nothing could fit in her eyes.
On the contrary, her face would reveal a pleasantly surprised smile when she occasionally saw small animals. Jiujiu wasn't happy today. Although Huang Sha said that she was willing to eat, Sha Qing wasn't sure if Huang Sha could make her happy. Therefore, he went to find a little fox for Jiujiu.
In Sha Qing's opinion, a tiger cub or lion cub would be more impressive. However, although Jiujiu was already an adult, she was a fox beastman. She was only a little bit tall. The tiger cub and lion cub were fine. When they grew up, their mouths would be bigger than Jiujiu's head. Sha Qing was afraid that they would hurt Jiujiu, so he simply found a little fox for Jiujiu to play with.
Although the little fox didn't have any intelligence, it especially liked to stay by Jiujiu's side because she was a fox beastman. It was familiar with Jiujiu's scent.
It was clearly the first time they met, but it liked to stick to Jiujiu as if it had been raised by Jiujiu.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the little fox occupying Jiujiu's embrace, Sha Qing also revealed a faint smile when he saw that Jiujiu's sad face in the morning was now relaxed. As long as Jiujiu was happy, everything was fine.
Early the next morning, Jiujiu asked Sha Qing to bring her and Huang Sha to a small ravine to look for wheat.
Huang Sha said that it was very close, but in reality, it was dozens of miles away. If they were to walk, it would take at least a few hours.
Jiujiu had always been spoiled by Sha Qing, so she had never walked such a long path. Not to mention, the mountain path was rugged and covered with small stones. After walking for a short while, Jiujiu's feet began to hurt.
Although Jiujiu didn't say anything, Sha Qing could sense that Jiujiu was a little uncomfortable from her furrowed brows. Without waiting for Jiujiu to speak, Sha Qing lifted Jiujiu up and hugged her.
Huang Sha, who had originally turned his head and was about to speak to Jiujiu, was stunned when he saw Sha Qing holding Jiujiu in his arms with a cherished expression. After a moment, he revealed a smile of understanding.
The three of them walked for more than three hours before they arrived at the small ravine that Huang Sha had mentioned.
Although Sha Qing had held her in his arms for more than two hours, the mountain path was difficult to walk on. The bumpy road made Jiujiu feel very uncomfortable.
However, this discomfort disappeared without a trace when she saw the wheat that covered the entire mountain.
Jiujiu patted Sha Qing's arm and asked him to put her down. She quickly went to the edge of the wheat field to pick the wheat.
Although it was wild, the wheat was not smaller than the ones that were grown by hand. The grains were full and danced with a gentle breeze.
Jiujiu crushed the wheat in her hand and put it into her mouth to chew.
The wheat was already 90% dry. A unique fragrance was emitted when she chewed. Jiujiu, who had eaten barbecued meat for many years, was so touched that she almost shed tears.
Oh my god, the taste of flour.
Learning from her previous experience, Jiujiu had already prepared several animal skin bags. She asked Sha Qing and Huang Sha to help fill them with wheat before the three of them returned.
