Chapter 3: Delivering food is the best



The ropes restraining Yu Youyou's hands were finally untied, and she moved her wrists.

Even though it didn't hurt after being tied for so long, the rope still left red marks on her fair wrists.

"Do you need anything?" Since they had decided to let Yu Youyou give it a try, Beverly and the buzz cut guy were quick to accept. Beverly squatted next to Yu Youyou and said, "I can help you."

"No need." Yu Youyou looked at Yi Ming lying on the ground.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, but his expression remained calm and composed. He didn't seem worried that Yu Youyou couldn't save him.

Yu Youyou knelt beside him, smiled at him, asked him to relax as much as possible, and then hummed an unknown tune.

It seemed not to be the common language of the Alliance, but a mysterious language that Beverly and the others could not understand.

But - light and airy.

That’s right, the only word to describe it is light and ethereal.

It was like the chanting of an elf, instantly capturing people's attention. As the singing softened, people's hearts became gentle and peaceful, and the troubles seemed to disappear, followed by a sense of happiness that made people want to immerse themselves.

When the singing stopped, Beverly's head suddenly dropped for a moment and then bounced back up. She was horrified to find that she had almost fallen asleep.

"His condition seems to have stabilized?" Yu Youyou turned her head to look at her. "Do you want to take a look at him?"

Was she just now - bewitched by the girl's singing?

If this girl is an enemy...

Just thinking about this possibility made Beverly's forehead break out in sweat.

She suppressed her thoughts and looked down at Yi Ming, only to find that Yi Ming had fallen asleep. His face was still pale, but his frown had mostly relaxed, and he looked much more at ease.

Beverly decided to check Yi Ming first.

While she was checking, the man with the buzz cut also came over. When the test results came out, Beverly was stunned: "Is it really much better?"

"Let me see." The man with a crew cut leaned over to look at the data. Yu Youyou also glanced at it, but didn't understand it.

After all, she is not a medical fish or a scientific research fish, so it is normal that she can't understand it.

"His mental condition has eased a lot and he won't explode in the short term. We should be able to hold on until we go back." Beverly carefully confirmed the data and finally came to a conclusion.

"That's enough." The man with a crew cut also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Youyou understood their conclusion and raised her hand: "I'm hungry. Is there anything else to eat?"

"You..." Beverly had a complicated expression when facing Yu Youyou.

I originally thought she was a dangerous person, but it turned out that she could actually treat and relieve mental outbursts.

This suggests she must be a therapist.

But her appearance was strange, and her ability to confuse people just now also made people alert.

Responsibility and vigilance were in turmoil. Beverly simply said nothing and only asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Barbecue is good!" Yu Youyou pouted, looking pitiful. "I wasn't full before, and I just helped you guys. You should be able to let me eat enough, right?"

"If you can't eat your fill... 70% full is fine."

This wasn't a big problem. Beverly nodded readily. "Then let Hubert grill you some meat, and I'll pick some fruit for you."

Hubert is the young man with a crew cut.

His barbecue skills are the best among the three.

"OK!"

Yu Youyou's eyes lit up: "Give me enough food, and if your companions get sick again, I can help them!"

This attitude is so enthusiastic.

Hubert had already started a fire and was preparing to grill the meat. Before leaving, Beverly said to Yu Youyou, "We are members of the 13th Squadron of the Dawn Legion Patrol. We just want to take you back to verify your identity. After all, ordinary people don't appear on Border Star. But as long as you have no problems, no one will make things difficult for you."

Yu Youyou nodded obediently: "I understand."

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Beverly felt even more complicated.

Beverly and her friends have strong survival abilities in the wild. She was only out for half an hour and brought back three or four kinds of fruits. She gave some of them to Yu Youyou and kept the rest for Yi Ming.

When she came back, Yu Youyou was eating barbecue.

Because we knew Yu Youyou was hungry, the barbecue this time was smaller and thinner, which would be easier to grill.

Yuyouyou held the clean big leaf in his hand and took bites of the barbecue, his eyes narrowed with joy.

She looks like she has been hungry for a long time.

But therapists should be guests of honor no matter where they are.

What exactly happened?

"You really don't remember anything from before?" Beverly sat next to Yu Youyou and handed her a fruit. "I've washed it. You can try whichever fruit you like."

"Thank you." Yu Youyou is not picky about food, she will eat anything as long as it tastes good.

She took a bite of the fruit from Beverly's hand.

The fruit is quite sour when you first put it in your mouth, but after chewing it for a while you can taste its sweetness, which is very refreshing.

Just right for a few bites of barbecue and some fruit.

Yu Youyou took a bite of barbecue and answered Beverly's question vaguely: "I only remember that I was on Blue Star and lived in an ocean."

"But I haven't heard of the planet Blue Star." Beverly repeated again.

Yu Youyou had anticipated this, and she nodded: "I understand. I'll find it myself later."

"Do you remember anyone?" Beverly probed. "Family? Friends? Or enemies?"

"I don't remember." Yu Youyou said no without thinking.

Although she knew many humans on Blue Star, judging from the length of human life, even if she only traveled through time and not space, it was obviously not the age that humans on Blue Star could live to.

"Okay, someone will help you check it out when we get back." Beverly was defeated.

She also placed Yu Youyou's fruit on a clean large leaf. After shifting her attention from Yu Youyou, she also noticed the strange expression on Hubert's face while he was grilling meat.

"Hubert, what's wrong with you?" Beverly was a little worried. "Is Yi Ming feeling unwell?"

"No." Hubert looked at the barbecue on the fire with a numb expression, "I just think we need to go hunting again."

"We'll go back the day after tomorrow." Beverly wanted to say, didn't they store food a long time ago?

Hubert: “…Not enough.”

This means...

Beverly looked at the barbecue on the fire, and she saw Hubert hand the barbecued meat to Yu Youyou, then quickly took out new meat, cut it into skewers and started grilling it.

And Yu Youyou's eating speed has never slowed down.

Beverly understood a little.

She quietly approached Hubert and whispered, "How much did she eat?"

"We already have half an iron-horn sheep." Hubert's expression was really empty.

Although the Ironhorn Sheep was a sheep, its size was more like that of an ancient cow. Even for these individual soldiers, known for their voracious appetites, a quarter of an Ironhorn Sheep was enough.

Beverly hissed, "How long has she been hungry?"

But the more this happened, the more doubts she had about Yu Youyou.

As for Yu Youyou?

Ah, the barbecue is so delicious!

Ahwuahwu eating meat with big mouthfulsJPG.

Yu Youyou finally stopped eating after eating two-thirds of the iron-horned sheep.

She blinked innocently: "Did I eat a little too much?"

"No." Beverly had already composed herself. "We still have to go hunting, so we can just catch a few more prey. You saved our companions, so we should pay you a reward."

"That's because you didn't abandon me when you were in danger, so I had to save him." Yu Youyou told the truth.

Although she would not die because of those beasts if she was left behind, it was indeed because they did not abandon her as bait that she had a good impression of these people.

Well, a little bit like someone she once knew.

He was clearly a human, and he clearly knew that mermaids were more powerful in combat, yet he treated her as if she were made of glass and only loved to protect her.

Beverly's face was serious: "Because we are soldiers."

Yu Youyou smiled and said nothing.

There was one weak and one sick man in the cave, and it was impossible for the only two capable fighters to go out together. In the end, it was the stronger Hubert who went out hunting.

Yu Youyou ate until she was 80% full today and sat contentedly in the cave to rest.

Beverly was on guard and paying attention to Yi Ming's situation.

But Hubert hadn't come back yet, and Yi Ming woke up first.

To be honest, he agreed to let Yu Youyou give it a try as a last resort, but he didn't expect that Yu Youyou could really cure him.

Beverly was surprised to find him awake: "Yi Ming, how do you feel?"

"Feeling good." Yi Ming sat up. The treatment was effective and after another sleep, his face was no longer so pale.

"That's good." Beverly handed him some fruit. "Eat some fruit to fill your stomach. Hubert is out hunting."

Why go out hunting?

Yi Ming's eyes revealed doubt, and he took the fruit and ate some to replenish his energy.

When Hubert came back, it was time for dinner.

Beverly cut the meat for the skewers and Hubert took over the grill.

This time Hubert caught three prey, one was an iron-horned sheep and the other two were fire rabbits.

The flame rabbit was the size of a normal adult sheep, so Hubert simply roasted the whole rabbit.

It takes a long time to roast two rabbits, but the cut ironhorn sheep roasts quickly.

Yi Ming was sitting alone, taking out a dagger to sharpen his knife. When he looked up and saw that Hubert had roasted so much, his hand shook and he almost cut himself.

"You baked so much, did you bake all the ones for the next two days?"

"...Don't worry, we can finish all of this." Hubert had a subtle expression.

Yi Ming didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

Until he saw how much Yu Youyou ate.

——Does it really exist that someone has a bigger appetite than a single soldier?

This time, Yu Youyou ate a half-flame rabbit and some iron-horn sheep meat, and she was about 80% full.

She was contentedly eating the fruit after dinner, and didn't listen at all to Beverly and the other two discussing the route for the next two days.

Why did you listen to it?

She was not familiar with this place at all and could not understand what was said.

Anyway, judging from the time they've been together, they're good people. They won't abandon her or use her as bait.

That’s enough!

She treated their illnesses and they gave her barbecued meat.

Each gets what they need and has the best of both worlds.

But what Yu Youyou didn't know was that Hubert and the others now had some disagreements.

Beverly meant that they should stay here and wait for someone to pick them up when they set off for their destination the next morning.

Yi Ming meant that since he was already here, he had to finish the task before leaving.

Beverly said the situation was special and understandable.

Yi Ming said that now there is someone who can suppress his mental power, and if conditions permit, they can continue to carry out the mission.

Hubert said: Beverly is right, Yi Ming is right, both teammates are right, what should I choose?

"If you're worried about me, then there's no need." Yi Ming was very persistent. "I can do it."

Hubert considered it for a moment and looked at Yu Youyou beside him: "Yu... Miss Yu, can you still treat Yi Ming in this condition?"

"Sure." Yu Youyou nodded.

She agreed readily, so Hubert chose a compromise: "Then let's wait for Yi Ming to treat us again and see? If the treatment results are no worse than before, we can stay here first?"

Beverly hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

Yu Youyou sat sideways next to Yi Ming and suddenly asked before starting the treatment: "I will eat more after the treatment."

"No problem, I can hunt more! I can find a few more kinds of prey and let you try some more kinds of barbecue. I can also catch fish and grill them for you!" Hubert agreed to this very quickly, which made Yu Youyou feel particularly satisfied.

Treatment begins.

A familiar yet unfamiliar humming sound echoed in the cave.

This time, Beverly was prepared and was not mesmerized by the singing. She clearly felt the singing's attraction to her. At the same time, she was sober and could feel the power of the singing even more.

It is no exaggeration to say that she felt her spirit was cleansed.

A tune lasts two minutes, and Beverly even wants Yu Youyou to sing another one.

This time, Yi Ming was almost lucid enough to make it through. He was the one who was most aware of the changes in his mental strength. His eyes shifted, and finally, he said to Yu Youyou carefully, "I'll pay for these two treatments when I get back."

Yu Youyou smiled innocently and frankly: "I've already paid your companions. We agreed before that you just need to take care of my food."

"Since you say so," Yi Ming lowered his eyes, "I'll convert my reward into food and give it to you when we return to the Legion."

Yu Youyou was very happy: "Okay!"
