"Ouch—"
Tilis bared her fangs again, looked at the real pearl necklace around the little girl's neck with coveting eyes, and let out a frightening roar, as if threatening.
The little girl hesitated for a moment and was about to take off the necklace from her neck and give it to her.
Chu Xiaoye immediately raised her paw to stop her, rearranged her collar, and gave Tilis a warning look to tell her not to think too much.
This thing is too dazzling and eye-catching. If she wears it around her neck, it will be greatly affected whether she is hunting or fighting enemies.
Tilis curled her lips, made a "hum" sound, and turned her head arrogantly, showing that she didn't care about it!
Blue Eyes and Zamao soon returned with three buffaloes.
When everyone started eating, the little girl seemed to remember the pain of eating raw beef that night and hesitated again.
However, she knew in her heart that if she was hungry, she would soon lose her strength, and then she would fall behind, and then she would have to wait silently to die alone.
Although my stomach was repulsed by this kind of flesh and blood, at least I didn't vomit it out.
As long as you can fill your stomach, replenish your physical strength, and stay alive, what is there to hesitate about
Is there anything more terrifying than death in this world
The little girl pulled out the sharp knife from her waist and came close to Chu Xiaoye, looking at him with pitiful and pleading eyes.
Chu Xiaoye made some room and agreed to eat with her.
The little girl carefully cut off a piece of steak with a knife, and was about to put it into her mouth and bite it like they did, when she suddenly remembered something.
She sat down on the ground and began to use a knife to cut the piece of beef in her hand into a thin piece, then put it into her small mouth, chewed it for a few mouthfuls, and then swallowed it.
This time, it didn't seem as painful as it was at the beginning.
A thin piece of beef, the fishy smell is reduced a lot, and there is no blood in the mouth from biting it, which makes it feel much better.
The little girl seemed to have found the trick. She smiled brightly and started cutting with the knife again. She ate with relish, elegantly and gracefully.
The little curly tail opposite had blood spurting from his mouth and laughed "chichi".
This was the first time he had seen eating meat like this, it was so funny.
The little girl didn't care about other people's eyes, she ate very happily, and quickly ate a piece of beef.
She didn't eat any more.
The stomach adapts to this kind of food gradually. If you eat too much at once, you will definitely vomit, and then the food will be wasted.
She once didn't know how valuable food was, but since she came to the grassland, she has understood that the survival of every animal is very difficult, and many times she will even pay the price with her life just to fill her stomach.
Even this powerful pride of lions is no exception.
After eating and drinking, he lay down to rest.
Chu Xiaoye and Xiao Juanwei climbed up the big tree, while the other members lay down on the grass.
Seeing that there was some buffalo meat left, the little girl immediately took out her knife and cut off pieces one by one. She wrapped them in wide shrub leaves and prepared to take them with her on the road to eat when she was hungry.
Chu Xiaoye lay on the tree and looked down at her, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
However, although this little girl has the wisdom to prepare for a rainy day, she has no experience in going through wind and rain.
There's no salt or honey, and I'm covering it up like this. It'll be strange if it doesn't stink tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoye suddenly thought of his future life on the other side of the mountain. At that time, he could make natural spicy beef jerky and store it. It could be eaten as snacks or used to satisfy hunger when food was scarce.
In the mountains and shrubs over there, there are many seasoning shrubs, peppers, peppercorns, gulixiang, etc., which can be used for pickling.
However, his current taste buds may not necessarily find it delicious.
The little girl wrapped the beef and placed it under the big tree. Then she sat down under the tree, leaned against the big tree, and looked into the darkness in the distance, in a daze.
I don’t know if I am thinking about my future life or my dead parents.
Chu Xiaoye knew in her heart that even if he didn't drive her away, it would be difficult for her to survive on the grassland. How long she can hold on is up to her.
And now she has no way out, she can only follow them to the grassland on the other side of the mountain.
Otherwise, once she leaves this team, what awaits her is the prey of other wild beasts.
The bloody smell of three buffaloes floated in the air and was carried far away by the night wind.
In the dark night, pairs of cold and bright eyes lit up all around, more and more, getting closer, but suddenly stopped in place, hesitating.
The scent of the lions scares all the carnivores on the grassland.
Even if they had leftover food, as long as they didn't leave, no one would dare to touch it.
The King of the Grasslands is not a name for nothing.
"Ouch—"
Blue Eyes' roar immediately frightened the predators and they fled in all directions.
The huge size and powerful momentum of this lion king, let alone these small carnivores, are frightened by the news. Even other lions have to leave in a hurry after seeing it.
Late at night.
The little girl closed her eyes and fell asleep tiredly.
A black shadow suddenly and silently approached her, took the bag of beef next to her in his mouth, and then jumped up the tree.
There was a large piece of honey hanging on the tree, which Chu Xiaoye had just picked from the forest.
With his current sight and speed, it was easy to find these things in the forest, and he had already looked for them last time, and there were still some left on the mountain wall.
Chu Xiaoye placed the package of beef on a branch, slowly opened it, pricked the thin slices of beef with her claws, spread them evenly with honey, and then placed them on the branch to dry.
There is no wind tonight, and there is no fear of them falling.
These beefs are cut very thin and are almost transparent. If they are spread out to dry like this, they will dry quickly. Even if they are not dried, they will not rot quickly if they are wrapped in honey. They will still be fresh when eaten tomorrow. It will also be very sweet.
Chu Xiaoye either made it specially for the little human girl under the tree, or she was suddenly greedy and wanted to eat a few slices on the way.
By the time all the beef slices were spread with honey and put away, it was already late at night.
Chu Xiaoye lay down next to him, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
And everything he did, from beginning to end, was silently watched by Catherine under the tree, and also by Tilis on the tree next to her.
They became even more confused.
They couldn't understand his behavior all the way. What was the relationship between this upright little animal and him? Why did he always care about and protect her surprisingly well.
Although on the surface, he behaves very distantly and coldly.
The corners of Chu Xiaoye's mouth were slightly cracked, as if she had had a good dream.
In the dream, he seemed to have become a human again.
