The chief stuffed the cow leg into Ji Nuan’s hands. The heavy leg made Ji Nuan stagger before she could hold the cow in her arms. “It’s hard enough for a female cub like you to adopt that cub. I’ll give you some extra food, just take it.”
"Yes, mountain boy, just take it. This little food is nothing to us. Take it back to nourish the little cub!" Naima also came to the food storage cave at some point.
Seeing that the two of them looked sincere and not at all hypocritical, Ji Nuan hesitated and finally carried the ox leg back home.
The water in the stone pot was still warm. Ji Nuan took out the egg custard that was warming in the water. The stone bowl was very hot, so she had to put a piece of animal skin under it and carry it into the small cave.
The chubby little lion cub has woken up, but is unable to move due to his injuries. He is now staring blankly at his chubby paw as a pillow, with a look of despair on his face.
Hearing Ji Nuan's footsteps, the little lion raised his chubby head, stared at the door with his dark eyes, and twitched his two little ears from time to time. His clever look made people wonder, if his three fat legs had not been injured, this little guy would have jumped off the stone bed and had fun everywhere.
Ji Nuan lifted the animal skin curtain while holding the egg custard and was met with a pair of dark round eyes. She couldn't help but feel soft in her heart: "Little boy, are you hungry? Sister made you something delicious, can I feed you?"
After saying this, without waiting for the little lion cub to respond, he scooped a spoonful of egg custard with his crudely made wooden spoon and put it to the little guy's mouth.
The little lion sniffed and his eyes lit up. The food made by this little female was delicious! The cuckoo was also delicious last time, but there was too little of it.
She opened her little mouth modestly, allowing Ji Nuan to feed her spoonful by spoonful.
The little lion's eyes became brighter. The egg custard was tender and smooth, and had a special aroma. Although it was not very filling, it tasted really good.
I still want to eat!
Looking at the empty stone bowl, the little lion raised his black eyes and looked at Ji Nuan, and patted his fat belly with one of his fat paws.
Ji Nuan held her forehead and chuckled, then tapped his little nose: "You little guy, you're quite picky about food!" The little guy didn't touch the barbecue that the witch doctor grandma gave him.
However, thinking about the black and half-cooked barbecue, Ji Nuan shuddered and she didn't want to eat it either.
"Just stay here, I'm cooking the green ox leg, we'll be able to eat the meat soon!"
The little lion stuck out his pink little tongue and licked the residue at the corner of his mouth, although he still wanted to eat this food called egg custard.
But the beast is under the eaves, so don't be picky about food.
The little lion nodded aggrievedly.
Ji Nuan touched his round little head, picked up the stone bowl and walked out.
“Hey! Isn’t this Shanzai? I heard that you adopted a disabled kid!” Ji Nuan heard this disgusting voice just after she put down the animal skin curtain.
Following the sound, Manli was standing at the entrance of Ji Nuan's cave accompanied by two beastmen, with a look of schadenfreude on her face: "Food is so precious now, and you're willing to share it with a disabled kid, hahaha!
Mountain boy, I, Manli, will wait until the winter is over to see your bones being carried out of this cave by the tribesmen!"
The viciousness on Manli's face made her look extremely ugly at the moment.
Ji Nuan waved her hands nonchalantly: "You can live as long as you can! But you... Manli..."
