Shi Li and Xiong Ye have gone through ups and downs for decades.
He knew that Kumano liked him, very much. After becoming the Beast King and living an increasingly comfortable life, he inevitably began to have other thoughts and his eyes began to fall on other people, but Kumano had never had such a thing before.
Kumano's eyes are always on him.
After rebirth, Shi Li does not plan to be bound to Kumano for life, but he cannot deny that Kumano is still different to him. But now, Kumano is so close to others.
Shi Li couldn't accept it and wanted to go up to stop it. However, there were a lot of people around Kumano. They surrounded Kumano and the injured person and prevented him from passing.
Shi Li was a little angry, but the priest drove away everyone around him: "Stay away from Niu Er!"
"Grand Priest, Niu Er has woken up. Will he get better?" Xiong Ye asked again.
"I don't know." The priest said, "Take him to your cave and take good care of him."
Niu Er is already twenty-six years old, which is not young, but he is a bit taciturn and looks average. Although his beast form is big, his fighting power is not strong. He is not very popular with the girls in the tribe, so he has never had a partner and lives alone.
Now that he's injured, we can't leave him living alone.
"Okay." Kumano nodded in agreement, picked up Niu Er and was about to go back.
"Xiong Ye!" Shi Li frowned and looked at Xiong Ye: "You want to take him back? Aren't you afraid of him..." Shi Li was very dissatisfied when Xiong Ye took Zhou Ji back before, but Zhou Ji had a father who was the Beast King behind him, so he couldn't offend Zhou Ji. He also knew that Xiong Ye had dug two caves, so he restrained himself.
But now this Niu Er...
If nothing unexpected happened, Niu Er would not have survived, and he didn't want anyone to die in the cave in Kumano.
Shi Li didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear. Xiong Ye's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he didn't have time to argue with Shi Li at the moment. After looking at Shi Li coldly, he carried Niu Er on his back and went into his cave. After putting Niu Er down, he went out of the cave and went to get medicine from the priest.
When he went back with the medicine, he saw Zhou Ji had already returned to the cave.
Zhou Ji doesn't like Niu Er, or to be more precise, he doesn't like the smell of Niu Er.
The smell of rotting wounds was very similar to that of zombies. Although he was used to it in his previous life, he really didn't like it.
This is partly why he has no interest in stale meat.
However, although he didn't like Niu Er, he didn't object to Kumano bringing the person back.
This man is going to die, and it is Kumano's duty to save him.
"Should I move out?" Zhou Ji asked. Xiong Ye must have taken him in out of pity for him, but now it seems that the person lying there is more pitiful.
"No need, Niu Er just needs to stay in my cave for a few days to recuperate." Xiong Ye said. Because his nose was blocked, his voice sounded different when he said this.
"Yeah." Zhou Ji nodded. He didn't like the smell on Niu Er, but to be honest, other places had the same smell. In the collective living areas of the tribe, the smell of rotten meat was even stronger - those people didn't preserve their food very well!
Xiong Ye couldn't care about Zhou Ji at the moment. He put Niu Er in a bright place at the entrance of the cave and planned to apply medicine to him again.
Zhou Ji said: "His wound is rotten. Shouldn't we clean it and cut off the rotten part?" He felt that he needed to make his living environment better.
"That's how it should be." Xiong Ye said, "The priest said that rotten meat should be cut off."
"Then why didn't you cut it before?" Zhou Ji asked. The priest had no intention of doing so before.
"These priests taught me, I can do it." Kumano said, picking up a stone knife and preparing to cut the rotten meat on Niu Er's body.
Zhou Ji: "...This knife is dirty. Shouldn't we wash it with hot water first? We should also wash his body."
Kumano was actually a little flustered at this moment.
Although Niu Er woke up for a while, he closed his eyes again soon. He was still running a fever and still so thin...
He knew Niu Er was going to die.
Because of this, he didn't know what to do... Zhou Ji said he wanted to cut off the rotten meat, and he agreed. Now Zhou Ji said he wanted to take a shower first... Then let's wash Niu Er first.
Following Zhou Ji's instructions, Xiong Ye boiled a pot of water, threw the knife in to boil, and then used the hot water to clean Niu Er's body.
Dinosaur skin can barely be used to make clothes, but it is not suitable as a towel. What Kumano uses to wipe Niu Er's body is the loofah sponge that is made by drying old loofahs and removing the seeds. It is a bit like a cleaning ball. Zhou Ji thinks that it must be very painful to use this thing to wipe the body.
While wiping, Xiong Ye said: "He is actually my brother. We have the same father."
"In the past, in the winter, it was too cold and I was too hungry to hibernate, so he transformed into an animal and let me sleep next to his belly."
"When he's an adult and joins the hunting party, he'll give me something delicious to eat."
…
After Niu Er dies, he will return to the arms of the Beast God, and then few people will remember him. Kumano feels very uncomfortable.
"Yeah." Zhou Ji listened very carefully, sometimes responding a few words, asking about the situation in the tribe, and paying attention to Niu Er's situation.
Niu Er was able to withstand the ordeal, and the crystal core in his body showed no signs of further disintegration.
After Kumano cleaned Niu Er and scraped off the rotten flesh on Niu Er's body with a stone knife, Zhou Ji asked Kumano to wash the pot. Then he took out his knife, chopped some elephant bird meat, added some vegetables, and cooked a pot of soup, which he asked Kumano to feed Niu Er.
"Can he eat now?" Kumano was a little stunned—Niu Er wasn't awake yet.
"Sure, just open its mouth and pour the liquid in." Zhou Ji said. This cow probably hasn't eaten for two days and it won't get better if it doesn't eat: "Help it up and feed it." Otherwise the liquid would be poured into its trachea.
Upon hearing this, Kumano hurriedly fed Niu Er.
"How much do you want to eat tonight?" Zhou Ji prepared to grill some meat for Kumano.
"This piece will do." Xiong Ye gestured to the weight of about ten kilograms, and frowned again: "Did you eat during the day today?"
"I ate it." Zhou Ji said, cutting ten pounds of meat and starting to roast it.
Although Zhou Ji said so, Xiong Ye looked at the meat that had not been missed and felt a little uncomfortable.
After Xiong Ye finished feeding Niu Er, Zhou Ji's meat was also roasted. Xiong Ye directly tore off half of it and gave it to Zhou Ji: "You should eat some too, otherwise you will have no strength."
"I don't like eating stale food." Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye: “…” If Zhou Ji really wanted to pick on people like this, how could he still be alive today?
Zhou Ji must have found a reason to reject him and leave the meat for him to eat! But if he exposed it, wouldn’t Zhou Ji be a little embarrassed?
Just when he was feeling a little worried, Kumano suddenly remembered that there was a snake among the prey captured by the hunting team during the day.
Zhou Ji said before that he didn’t like eating dinosaur meat, but he had eaten snakes.
When the tribe was dividing the meat that day, Xiong He didn't even shout.
Everyone took the meat silently and ate silently. Even though the amount of meat they received today was very small, no one said anything.
More than 20 people died in the tribe all at once. Everyone felt bad, but life still had to go on...
Xiong Ye and Xiong He asked for the small snake and brought it back to the cave, then gave it to Zhou Ji: "This is the fresh prey we caught today."
"Thank you." Zhou Ji said, cooked some snake soup, ate half of it, and asked Xiongye to feed the rest to Niu Er.
Niu Er needs to eat more. As for him, he really eats a lot during the day, and he only eats plants that are high in energy.
After eating, Zhou Ji returned to his "room".
Kumano would not come to disturb him, so he would add more food to his meal while using his mental power to pay attention to Niu Er's situation.
Orcs have strong vitality. After the crystal core in Niu Er's body stabilized, his condition became better and better.
He was now quite curious about the crystal cores in the bodies of orcs. The crystal cores in zombies would become trophies for humans after their death and be used by humans. However, the crystal cores in orcs were different. They would actually disintegrate when they died...
I guess the orcs in this place don’t know that there is such a crystal core in their bodies.
Zhou Ji spent all his mental energy on Niu Er, but when he woke up the next morning, he was still full of energy.
The energy in this place is so abundant!
In the morning, Zhou Ji was the first to wake up, but he did not go out. Then Niu Er, who was placed by Xiong Ye next to the fire at the entrance of the cave last night, woke up and made some noises.
Zhou Ji didn't move—Xiong Ye should be waking up soon.
Sure enough, Xiong Ye got up quickly: "Niu Er, are you awake?"
Niu Er looked at Xiong Ye and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiong Ye..."
"How do you feel? I'll take you to see the priest!" Kumano said immediately.
Niu Er: "I want to go to the toilet..."
Xiong Ye carried Niu Er away, and Zhou Ji came out of his room. He was grilling and cooking meat. Before he was done, Xiong Ye carried Niu Er back: "Zhou Ji! Niu Er is fine! He will be fine after a few days of rest!"
"Congratulations." Zhou Ji said.
"The priest asked me to stay and take care of Niu Er, so I won't go hunting today. I'll go to the river later and catch some fish for you." Kumano said again. Zhou Ji still refused to eat meat, so he decided to take some time to catch some fish. It was not difficult for him to catch fish.
"It would be good for the patient to drink some fish soup." Zhou Ji agreed and gave the barbecue in his hand to Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji with gratitude.
When Shi Li suddenly changed his mind and was very confused, Zhou Ji accompanied him.
Niu Er almost died yesterday. When he was very confused, it was Zhou Ji who accompanied him.
Although Zhou Ji is quiet and weak, he is really a good person! And it wasn't as stupid as he first thought!
