Chapter 11: Delivering Meat



Kumano also joined the queue waiting for the meat to be divided.

The meat of the pentaceratops has been washed and cut into pieces. Everyone worked together to hunt the pentaceratops this time. It didn't make much difference whether they worked more or less, so the weight of meat distributed to each member of the hunting team was almost the same.

However, Xionghe watched the entire hunt, so he would give better meat to those who contributed more. For example, when it was Xiongye's turn, he gave him a large piece of liver.

Everyone was as happy as if it were a holiday, because there was so much meat to be shared today!

The pentaceratops weighed more than five tons. Excluding the bones and skin, there were at least three thousand kilograms of meat to share, or six thousand kilograms of meat. There were only more than four hundred people in their tribe, and dozens of them went to exchange for salt. Only more than a hundred people participated in the hunt...

As a member of the hunting team, Kumano received about 40 kilograms of meat, and the others received about the same. Even the elderly and children in the tribe each received 10 kilograms of meat.

Not to mention there’s bone broth to drink!

There are several large stone pots in the tribe, which are used to cook soup. These stone pots are treasures of the people in the tribe, and they cherish them very much. Although according to the previous priest, there are better pots made of clay in other places, the people of the Big Bear tribe have always believed that their own pots are the best.

A stone pot is always better than a clay pot, right?

At this moment, there were bones cooked in several pots, as well as some offal that were strong in taste and therefore not very popular - the offal that orcs liked were the liver, heart, and the fat in the stomach of their prey, and they didn't like the intestines very much, but even so, no one would waste them.

The bone soup and the soup made from various leftovers and wild vegetables smell a bit strange, but for the people in the tribe, it is a rare feast.

The old and weak in the tribe saved the meat they were given and happily waited to drink the broth and eat wild vegetables.

Kumano did not drink the broth, but grilled the meat in silence.

Today they caught a big one and everyone was very happy, except him, who felt a little out of place with all this.

During the previous winter, he was not hibernating all the time, he just slept more. During that time, in a state of half-sleep, he was always thinking about his future life.

He imagined the life he would have after living with Shi Li - when he and Shi Li became partners, he would no longer be alone when he returned home. He could go hunting with Shi Li every day, eat together, and sleep together.

He had such good thoughts, but now...

Kumano tore off a piece of the meat he was grilling and stuffed it into his mouth.

His beast form is relatively large, and his appetite is also big. He needs to eat at least five kilograms of meat every day, and usually eats ten kilograms. When food is sufficient, he will eat twenty kilograms or even more.

After he had eaten last night, he had been hunting outside and had not eaten anything. Now he was grilling meat and feeding himself, and he had eaten twenty kilograms of meat without realizing it.

His stomach was full, but he didn't feel as happy as before.

Xiongye stared at the remaining half of the meat in his hand for a while, then looked in the direction of Shili's cave - Shili did not come out to take the meat.

When Xiong Ye looked over, he didn't see Shi Li, but he saw Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji lived next to Shi Li's house. At this moment, he was sitting on a stone on the platform at the entrance of the cave, looking in his direction.

Seeing Zhou Ji staying alone and looking out of place with the entire tribe, Xiong Ye suddenly felt that Zhou Ji was a bit like himself.

"Zhou Ji didn't come to get the meat, nor did he come to drink the soup." A person next to Xiong Ye who was responsible for helping Xiong He distribute the meat suddenly said when he saw Xiong Ye looking at Zhou Ji.

"He didn't come to get the meat?" Kumano was a little surprised.

"He didn't come to collect meat many times, but he would take some of what the collection team collected back home." The man said, "I specifically asked him about it, but he didn't say anything."

"Isn't he afraid of almost starving to death like last time?" Kumano frowned.

"He's so stupid, maybe he doesn't understand anything." The person distributing the meat said, "But he shouldn't starve to death. He hasn't awakened yet, and he doesn't work, so he must eat less than others."

Zhou Ji now doesn't seem to be stupid...

Kumano felt that this was not a good idea, but after a pause, he felt that he was being a bit nosy.

He can't even take care of his own affairs, how can he take care of Zhou Ji all the time? Zhou Ji must learn to live on his own.

Thinking of this, Kumano shifted his gaze and saw Langyin sitting with several women and eating meat.

Xiong Ye couldn't tell what he felt. While others were still drinking soup and eating meat, he took his barbecue and left. After walking a few steps, he went to Xiong He to get Zhou Ji's meat.

Xiong He already knew about Lang Yin and Shi Li. Seeing Xiong Ye, he felt a little embarrassed: "Xiong Ye, Lang Yin and Shi Li..."

"Nothing." Xiong Ye smiled at Xiong He. He had no resentment towards Lang Yin. After all, if Shi Li didn't want to, Lang Yin couldn't force Shi Li.

However, although he had a smile on his face, he actually felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Xiong He was not a very thoughtful person and did not notice what Xiong Ye did, but he already had some opinions about Shi Li.

Over the years, Xiongye has helped Shili a lot, and he has seen it all. Even though he was a little reluctant about the two of them becoming a couple, it was because Shili could not give birth to a child for Xiongye. But now... Shili is actually unwilling!

Why wouldn't Shi Li be willing? !

However, although he had opinions about Shi Li, he could not deny that Shi Li was a powerful warrior, and their tribe needed such a powerful warrior, so he could only endure it.

Regarding the fact that his daughter is with Shi Li... Xiong He plans to talk to his daughter and ask her not to give the meat she gets to Shi Li and his family.

Xiong Ye took Zhou Ji's meat and went to find Zhou Ji: "This is the meat you got."

Zhou Ji: “…” He didn’t want it.

Zhou Ji is not a complete vegetarian. In fact, when he first came to this world, he tasted dinosaur meat out of curiosity.

Then I realized...it wasn't delicious at all.

In the world he lived in before, humans had domesticated sheep for tens of thousands of years, and the meat still had a mutton smell. Some people couldn't get used to eating it without various spices, not to mention the game - in fact, the taste of a lot of game was just like that, and people mainly ate it for the novelty.

The wild game on Earth is already like this, how delicious can the dinosaur meat in this place be? The meat of this huge creature is old and tough!

Not to mention that the cooking skills here are not very good. No, it should be said that there is no cooking skills here at all!

The salt tastes bitter!

Of course, the most important thing is that he likes to eat vegetables and fruits.

However, Xiong Ye had good intentions, so Zhou Ji finally took the meat and planned to pickle it at home - the original owner's mother had left some salt for the original owner, which could be used to preserve food.

"Why don't you go get the meat?" Xiong Ye asked. Was Zhou Ji being bullied and not daring to get it, or did he not know how to get it? Did he have a hard time after losing his mother?

Zhou Ji was thinking about what to say when the door of the cave next to him opened and Shi Li walked out.

Xiong Ye ignored Zhou Ji and turned to look at Shi Li. He thought Shi Li would say something to him, but Shi Li said nothing. After looking at him, he actually walked away from the other side.

It was already dark, but Xiong Ye had good eyesight and he saw Shi Li enter Lang Yin's cave.

Kumano took a deep breath, ignored the silence, and turned back to his cave - he was afraid that he couldn't control his expression.

Sad, uncomfortable, angry, dissatisfied...all kinds of emotions filled Xiongye's heart, and he even had the urge to rush out and fight Shili.

If Shi Li had not agreed to him at the beginning, he would not have felt so bad, but Shi Li agreed.

In the past few months, because Shi Li agreed to be his partner, he was so happy and considered Shi Li in every way and gave Shi Li so much meat. However, when the ceremony was about to be held, Shi Li suddenly changed his mind.

It would have been fine if he had changed his mind, but within just one day, Shi Li was with someone else.

Xiong Ye admitted that he felt very uncomfortable. It was because of this that he decided that if Shi Li really wanted to be with Lang Yin, then everything would be over between them.

If Shi Li had just refused him at the beginning, they could be friends or not. But now, they can't even be friends anymore.

As for a partner... Kumano wanted a partner, but Shi Li's behavior suddenly made him wonder whether he should find another one.

Kumano sat alone in the cave. After sitting for a long time, he felt a little cold, so he changed into a beast.

The huge brown bear sat in the cave with its legs hugged. After sitting motionless for a long time, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Kumano immediately transformed into a human form and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Zhou Ji.

He felt a little lost and even more confused.

"Here you go." Zhou Ji gave Xiong Ye a piece of barbecue.

This was the piece of meat that Kumano had given him earlier, and he roasted it.

He originally planned to pickle this piece of meat. If he didn't eat it himself, he could give it to others in the future. But Xiong Ye was like that...

He didn't care much about other people in this tribe, but Kumano was the first person he met after he traveled to this world, and he saved him. He was very grateful to Kumano. Now Kumano was feeling very uncomfortable... Zhou Ji roasted the meat given by Kumano and sent it to Kumano as a comfort.

"You want to give me the meat?" Kumano looked at the piece of meat that was roasted in an unknown way and smelled inexplicably fragrant, feeling a little puzzled.

"You are very sad, so I'll give you something to eat." Zhou Ji said concisely. He was not good at comforting people, and he had not learned the complete language of this place.

When Xiong Ye heard Zhou Ji say that he was "very sad", he took a deep breath and his eyes felt a little sore.

He was really sad, but Shi Li didn't care, and the other people in the tribe didn't know either. In the end, only Zhou Ji, who had nothing to do with him, came to comfort him...

"Thank you, but you eat it yourself." Kumano refused.

"I've eaten." Zhou Ji said, put down the meat and walked out, then climbed down again - this bear was not wearing any clothes...

Xiong Ye saw Zhou Ji slowly climbing down, but he didn't follow him.

He sat there for a while, then began to eat the meat Zhou Ji gave him.

This was the first time someone gave him meat.

Shi Li had a younger brother and a mother to support, and he never cared about these things. He never gave him anything. At most, he would give him the delicious food when they were eating together, but that was also what they hunted together.

Kumano's mood inexplicably improved.

Zhou Ji didn’t know what Xiong Ye was thinking. He returned to his cave and went to bed early.

As a result, when he woke up, his cave was no longer his.
