"Can we eat the meat inside? Let's just eat the meat inside." Mu Chen said, pointing at the two charred chickens.
Hearing this, Haoer took a look and cut off the burnt outside with a dagger, then cut the meat inside for them to eat: "Try it."
Chen'er took it, handed it to Yue'er first, and then he took a piece and ate it.
"Hmm, delicious." Yue'er said happily, eating in small bites, holding the food in both hands and blowing on it with her little mouth.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Mu Chen also nodded and said.
Seeing this, Haoer cut off a piece and ate it. However, as soon as it entered his mouth, he tasted the burnt taste and the toughness of the meat. In addition, there was no seasoning, so there was nothing but the burnt taste, making it difficult to swallow.
He watched Mu Chen and Mu Yue eating with gusto, feeling very uncomfortable and his eyes turned red. In order not to let them notice, he lowered his head, biting the burnt meat in his mouth while swallowing back his tears.
Even though his memory had not fully awakened, he knew that they were born into a noble family and were the best of the best, with plenty of food and clothing to spare. But now, he had left his younger brothers and sisters starving and having nothing to eat but the burnt chicken.
"Don't eat anymore. There are some pastries and a small piece of dried meat in the space. Eat that!" He reached out and snatched the meat from their hands and threw it into the extinguished fire.
The two little guys looked at him, and seeing his eyes slightly red, they couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Eat this, you can't eat this, throw it away." He threw away the two burnt chickens and stuffed the paper-wrapped pastries into their arms, along with a small piece of dried meat.
The two little guys looked at the things in their arms and hesitated. Yue'er said in a soft and tender voice, "But, we can't go out. Do we have to save these until we are really hungry?"
"It's okay, just eat first! We'll think of a solution after you're done." He said, letting them eat.
Seeing this, the two little guys looked at each other, and Chen'er divided the piece of dried meat into three pieces and handed one piece to Hao'er: "Brother, you eat too." Then he took some cakes and gave them to him.
"I don't eat dried meat. I'll just eat a few cakes." Hao'er said, handing the dried meat to Yue'er: "Give it to Yue'er."
"Yuer doesn't want to eat, big brother will eat it." Yueer shook her little head and pushed it back.
"Brother, you eat it! We'll share it." Chen'er looked at him and said.
Hao'er shook his head and said, "This piece of jerky is not ordinary jerky. It is the meat of a spiritual beast. Eating it will be good for your body." He divided his piece of jerky into two and handed them to the two of them: "Eat it and see if you can stimulate the spiritual energy in your body. I will give you some pills later."
The two little guys looked at each other, and seeing that he refused to eat, they took it and asked, "Brother, now that we have spiritual energy, can we go back to find our parents?"
Hearing them mention their parents, another image flashed through Hao'er's mind. He came back to his senses and said, "You have contracted beasts just like me, but your spiritual power is sealed and the contracted beasts cannot come out. If you can restore your spiritual power and let the contracted beasts come out, maybe we can think of a way to go back sooner."
