A fire was lit, and the pit burned fiercely. After it was naturally extinguished, Parker took out the burning residue bit by bit, wrapped it in the animal skins he was going to throw away, and hit it hard with a stone.
When he opened it again, the animal bones inside turned into powder.
Parker was about to drag his things to the mountains and throw them away when Bai Qingqing shouted in the house: "Wash your hands, you dirty leopard!"
"Okay." Parker obediently went to wash it and stretched out a pair of wet hands to claim credit. "After washing it, I went to hunt by the way."
"Yeah." Bai Qingqing nodded.
But when Parker came back with the prey, Curtis had already prepared food for Bai Qingqing first.
A sheep was roasting in the main room, and Curtis had a dying sheep wrapped in its tail.
Bai Qingqing greeted Parker immediately when she saw him: "Parker, come and eat, it's just baked."
Parker threw the prey to the ground with a bang and stood frozen by the fire. "No, I will eat my own. I will bake it after you finish eating."
Bai Qingqing looked at Parker's prey and sighed inwardly at the waste, "But I can't finish eating so much, and Curtis doesn't like to eat cooked food. From now on, you can take turns hunting, so you can be more relaxed."
"Huh." Parker didn't want to accept it at first, but when he thought that other people were like this, it would be unreasonable for him to resist, so he had to sit down unhappily.
When Curtis saw Parker coming back, he rolled up the prey and swam a little further away, transformed into the full animal form, and swallowed the prey bit by bit. Then he slowly crawled into the bedroom, put on eye masks and took a nap.
Even though she had seen Curtis eat several times, Bai Qingqing still couldn't help but feel nervous. Fortunately, I have Parker this time, so I feel a little safer. She didn't relax until Curtis entered the room.
"What to do with your prey?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Parker glanced at the dead prey and said: "Throw it into the river and feed it to the fish. That dead snake is real. His prey is not dead yet. Just eat mine."
Bai Qingqing couldn't think of a way to preserve it. Pickling it with salt was too wasteful, so she finally agreed to Parker's approach.
The rainy season was coming soon. That afternoon, as soon as the temperature dropped, the sky suddenly became dark. Immediately afterwards, strong winds raged, filling the air with sand and gravel. The insects in the air have also disappeared, and the air pressure is so low that it is difficult to breathe.
Parker and Curtis moved the firewood and grass that had been exposed to the sun outside into the house. As soon as they finished work, huge thunder exploded in the sky and heavy rain fell.
Bai Qingqing lay by the window and looked out, with surprise in her eyes, "It's raining so hard!"
To be honest, she had never seen such heavy rain before, and describing it as "heavy rain" was no exaggeration.
Curtis built a larger nest next to Parker's nest and said to Bai Qingqing, "Come here and sleep."
Parker immediately said: "Qingqing sleep with me."
Bai Qingqing felt the tense atmosphere between the two, and stood firmly at the window, pretending to watch the scenery, "I won't sleep, I want to watch the rain."
There was lightning and thunder outside, and Bai Qingqing's face lit up and darkened.
"Snapped!"
A thunder exploded nearby, and a tiger was illuminated in the strong light. The hair all over its body was wet and sticky, revealing the rattling tiger bones. The tiger's face was covered with claw marks and was terrifying.
"Ah!" Bai Qingqing screamed and took a few steps back.
The strong light flashed past, and its strong figure seemed to collapse in the rain.
"Qingqing."
Parker and Curtis rushed up at the same time, and finally Curtis was the superior and hugged Bai Qingqing.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Curtis held Tuo Gao Bai Qingqing's head and kissed her face.
