Primitive people are really cute at times. For example, they will say what they think directly without thinking that it might be embarrassing.
Kumano laughed after saying she looked like she was pregnant.
Zhou Ji had the urge to execute him on the spot.
However, even though Xiong Ye looked very energetic, he was still injured, and even seriously injured... Zhou Ji rubbed Xiong Ye's head and said, "Go to bed?"
"Zhou Ji, you can't rub my head anymore!" Xiong Ye frowned. Zhou Ji had done this over and over again, and he didn't know how many times he had done it!
"Okay." Zhou Ji agreed.
"Let me touch it." Xiong Ye said again, "I kind of want it." Zhou Ji had been touching his belly before, and it made him want to do something...
"Don't think about it." Zhou Ji pushed him onto the bed speechlessly - he was so badly injured and still thinking about it, he was being hard on himself!
Kumano had no choice but to lie down and sleep.
He wanted to do it himself, but he also had an injury on his arm.
And...he was actually feeling pretty uncomfortable.
Kumano said he wanted to, and after he really lay down, he fell asleep quickly and slept very soundly.
Maybe it was because he was too tired, he started snoring even though he never snored.
Zhou Ji pinched his nose, and he turned his head to the side to sleep, and stopped snoring. Seeing this, Zhou Ji looked at his legs.
During the day, Zhou Ji wanted to help Xiong Ye check his injuries, but after yesterday's ordeal, his mental strength was most severely damaged. It was not until now that he felt a little better and was able to help check people.
The reason why he was not in a hurry was because Kumano looked in good condition.
As a result of this examination, Zhou Ji was stunned.
Kumano's leg was broken and the bones inside were twisted. Not only that, in addition to the scratches on the surface of his body, his internal organs were also injured.
Kumano's injuries were very serious. I don't know how he could still come and go in the cave during the day and even smile at him.
Zhou Ji tried to use his mental power to straighten his bones, but just as he tried, his mental power ran out and he could only lie down to rest.
Fortunately, although Xiong Ye was seriously injured, he was not like Niu Er at the beginning, and even the crystal core in his body was about to collapse...
At dawn the next day, someone came into their cave. It was the priest.
The priest was busy picking up meat the whole day yesterday and had no time to come over. He only came now to check Kumano's wound.
"Your injuries are fine, but you must be careful with your leg." The priest brought some herbs and asked Xiong Ye to apply them on the wound. He then said, "You must pray to the beast god every day, asking him to protect your leg from growing crooked."
Some people with broken arms or legs can grow back healthy, but some will grow crooked. His teacher once told him that the reason those people's bones grow crooked is because they blasphemed the Beast God and were disrespectful to the Beast God, and that is why they are being punished.
However, neither he nor his teacher told anyone about this matter.
Because his teacher himself had a lame leg. He was originally a priest of a big tribe. After he became lame, he was driven away and drifted to the Big Bear Tribe, where he became a priest.
His teacher spent his entire life repenting, thinking that he must have done something wrong and angered the Beast God, which is why he became lame.
At the same time, his teacher did not tell this secret to anyone else in the tribe, but only told him, and he did not tell anyone else in the tribe.
Those warriors were injured and their bones were crooked because they were protecting the tribe or hunting. Even if they did something wrong, they had already been punished, and he felt that he should not hurt them again.
Now Kumano has injured his leg...
The priest added: "You are a good child, the Beast God will definitely bless you!" Kumano should not have done anything to anger the Beast God?
Zhou Ji: “…” It turns out that the Beast God can also heal injuries!
Instead of praying to the Beast God, it is better to find him.
"By the way, Xiong Ye! Zhou Ji and I discovered that drinking some grass boiled in water can make the body better. After I ate it recently, I felt much better... I brought some for you, you can boil some and eat it." The priest said again, taking out a ginseng.
Zhou Ji saw this ginseng by accident.
He didn't know much about Chinese medicine, but when he studied plants, he learned about them and knew some herbs that could nourish the body.
He would know something like ginseng, so he gave it to the priest to eat. Unexpectedly, the priest gave it to Kumano.
Xiong Ye’s current condition…Eating some ginseng may not necessarily make him better, but it won’t make him sick either. Zhou Ji said, “Thank you, priest.”
"You're welcome. Eat some too." The priest said, "You're too weak."
Zhou Ji: “…”
"I have to leave now. I still have a lot of things to do," said the priest.
"That meat...has the clan leader figured out how to preserve it?" Zhou Ji asked.
"We plan to pickle it with salt, and then everyone will eat more." said the priest, with a somewhat conflicted expression - they didn't have enough salt!
"I have a way to preserve meat." Zhou Ji said.
"What method?" the priest asked immediately, looking at Zhou Ji curiously. Although Zhou Ji was in poor health, the Beast God probably felt sorry for him and taught him many skills, such as identifying plants.
"You can use a little less salt to marinate the meat, then light a fire and smoke the meat." Zhou Ji said. If you want to preserve bacon for a long time, you need a lot of salt. In the ancient times of his original country, only the coastal areas would use a lot of salt to marinate meat, which could not be done in other places.
Then in some places, they make bacon.
First, marinate the meat with a little salt, then smoke it to dry out the moisture in the meat. In this way, the meat can be preserved for a long time and tastes unique.
Of course, some people may think that it has a smoky smell and is not tasty.
In short, if you use this method to preserve meat, you can use much less salt.
Zhou Ji had only seen this method of preserving meat on TV food shows, but he had no idea how to do it specifically or how to make the meat taste good.
However, the people in the Big Bear Tribe shouldn’t mind that the meat doesn’t taste good?
So, as long as the moisture in the meat can be smoked dry, it will be fine.
"Will this really preserve the meat?" the priest was curious.
"Yes." Zhou Ji said, "It's the same as when you dry meat into jerky, it can be kept for a long time. Smoking with fire is just faster than drying it in the sun."
"I'll try!" the priest said immediately.
There is no shortage of firewood in the tribe. Even if there is a shortage... there is a mountain of firewood waiting for them to pick up!
The priest found someone and quickly lit a fire in a pit, then smoked the meat on it, producing a piece of blackened meat.
The meat has a smoky smell and doesn't taste good, but it's dry, so it should be able to keep for a while longer...
The entire tribe immediately got busy and started making bacon.
Picking meat, making smoked meat, eating meat... the people in the Big Bear tribe were busy for five or six days, and everyone gained weight.
Then, the tribe officially ran out of salt.
Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye were out of salt either.
After the collective salt of the tribe was used up, the priest asked everyone to take out their private salt, as if the tribe was borrowing it from everyone, so they naturally handed over the salt.
Zhou Ji didn't care much about this. Xiong Ye was injured and couldn't hunt, so he would go out for a walk every day, secretly eat outside and bring back some vegetables and fruits. He was too lazy to cook, so he naturally didn't use salt. As for Xiong Ye...
Xiong Ye didn't mind eating the barbecue sent by the tribe every day. Now he ate at least 40 kilograms of meat every day. With such a strong appetite, his belly bulged almost every day. Not only did his human form become fatter, but his beast form also became much bigger, and his fur was shiny and oily.
The orcs' bodies are really good, and meat containing energy is indeed a great tonic for them.
The only thing that was depressing was that Kumano was injured, so many parts of his body were hairless...
Xiong Ye was a little annoyed about this, but Zhou Ji thought that the hairless little bear was also very cute.
On this day, all the meat in the tribe was finally cleared away.
There was still a smell of blood and decay in the valley, but it was much better than before... Zhou Ji made a few flower pots out of wood and planted a few pots of fragrant flowers in their cave, which made the smell in the cave much fresher.
That night, the priests were going to hold a meeting in the valley.
After Zhou Ji rested for a few days, all his injuries were healed. Correspondingly, Kumano's injuries also improved a lot with his help.
It’s just that Kumano doesn’t know how to use that energy. The utilization rate of the energy he sent into Kumano’s body is only about one tenth, which is really a pity.
In order to avoid being discovered, he couldn't heal Kumano's injuries quickly.
The ground in the valley has been soaked with blood these past few days. It feels sticky when you step on it, but not muddy - the mud here is particularly solid!
"Zhou Ji!" "Xiong Ye!" The people in the tribe greeted Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye with a smile and were very nice to Zhou Ji.
Although Zhou Ji is very weak, the priest said that the method of smoking the meat was his idea!
Everyone in the tribe was very grateful to Zhou Ji at this moment. Even those who originally had a grudge against Zhou Ji no longer looked at him with disdain - how much meat Zhou Ji had helped them preserve!
I really didn't expect that Zhou Ji, who was so stupid and dumb, would become smart.
The people in the tribe were very grateful to Zhou Ji, and the priest also gave Zhou Ji a reward - the priest gave him a big, bright red wreath.
Zhou Ji didn't want it.
But Kumano liked it very much and happily hung it around his neck.
The little bear with a wreath around its neck is quite cute... Zhou Ji's eyes fell on Xiong Ye, but Xiong He had already started talking about business in a serious manner - the tribe was going to exchange salt again!
