Chapter 84
"Brother Xu, why did she bring me along? I was on a serious business that time!"
After his past was exposed, Yu Sui yelled at Xu in dissatisfaction, "Picking mushrooms is also a serious matter! He didn't get lost in the forest just for fun!"
Qi beneath him also let out a muffled laugh, and Yu Sui slid down his fur angrily, forgetting even his fear of the little snake.
But a talking little snake doesn't seem that scary, and its voice is so sweet...
Xiaochu, who was playing snowballs with his friends in the Heitu tribe, shivered strangely. Hey, why does he always feel cold on his back?
"Yu Sui went mushroom picking. He brought back a lot and dried a lot of mushrooms."
Seeing that he was angry, Qi raised the corners of his lips slightly and helped to explain.
Yu Suicai didn't want to pay any attention to the two people who were mocking him. He kept a little distance from the little snake, squatted down and asked, "Do you still remember where the tribe is? We can send you back when we go back."
The little snake was a little embarrassed, and its raised body became limp. "Grandpa, the tribe leader, said that we can't tell others where our tribe hibernates, and everyone must have fallen asleep a long time ago."
After saying that, she curled up in a heap in frustration.
Yes, snakes need to hibernate in winter, otherwise they need to maintain a warm temperature for a long time.
Just like this little snake, it must have woken up because it was relatively warm at the seaside and the firewood next to the tent had been roasting for most of the day.
This was indeed a difficult problem. Yu Sui was a little helpless and squatted there in distress.
"There's no need to reveal where your tribe hibernates. When you return, you can tell us where you stayed when it was warm, in case your parents aren't hibernating waiting for you."
Xu felt a little sorry for the little snake's dejected look, so he offered some advice.
Yu Sui's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. Although the little snake's parents couldn't stay in the mountains for long in winter because it was too cold, what if they waited for the little snake to come back home and didn't choose to hibernate with the tribesmen?
Hearing Xu's words, the little snake perked up a bit and asked carefully, "What if my parents have already hibernated and didn't wait for me? Can you bury me in a safe place?"
Yu Sui burst out laughing, exchanged glances with Qi and Xu, and then said with a smile, "If you have nowhere to go, how about we take you back to our tribe?"
The little snake nodded happily and crawled towards Yu Sui.
Although he was still quite afraid of the dense scales on the little snake's body, the most frightening thing about snakes is their cold-blooded feeling. The little snake in front of him had a very cute voice, so Yu Sui endured the discomfort and did not avoid it.
"Thank you, big brother. My name is Mimi."
The little snake Mimi thanked her sweetly, and her voice matched her name perfectly.
Touched by Mimi's cuteness, Yu Sui completely put aside his prejudice against reptiles and tentatively touched the little guy's head. The cool and smooth touch came from his fingertips, and he surprisingly did not feel disgusted.
Thinking about how many days Mimi has been hibernating, she must have fallen into hibernation suddenly and had no time to replenish food. Snakes will eat a lot of food before hibernation to ensure their own consumption during hibernation.
Yu Sui felt a little distressed, "You must be starving. We have plenty of food here, and it's just cooked. Come and eat."
He turned to look at the other two and was about to ask them to eat as well, but Qi and Xu had already transformed into human form and put on animal skins.
He moved so quickly that when he was about to go forward to serve some food to Mimi, the little snake in front of him suddenly changed from a one-meter-long snake to a little baby less than one meter long.
Her hair was black on top and red on the bottom, as if it had been bleached and dyed. She had a pointed chin and a little baby fat on her face. Her big, twinkling eyes were very cute.
That’s not the point. The point is that this little girl is not wearing any clothes!
Yu Sui quickly picked up Mimi and carried her into the tent like the wind.
Looking at his hurried back, Xu was a little shocked: "This is the first time I've seen Xiao Yu run so fast."
Qi on the side nodded in agreement.
Yu Sui cut a piece of the thickest silver-winged tiger fur for the little guy. Making clothes was too difficult for him, so he racked his brains to wrap Mimi in animal skin and made two holes on the arms.
But it was too much of a sin to let the little girl go bare-armed in the middle of winter, so Yu Sui used two small pieces of animal skin to make a patchwork sleeve. Although it looked a little tattered, it could at least keep her warm.
After making a simple animal skin coat, Yu Sui tied two pieces of animal skin on her feet as shoes.
Mimi was very obedient throughout the whole process and let him give her instructions. After packing up everything, Yu Sui took the little baby out.
The steamer on the iron pot has been taken down. The crabs on it have turned red and their shells have opened, revealing the delicious meat inside.
There was no suitable sized wooden board to serve as a dining table, so Qi cleaned the reef and placed the steamer on it.
The aroma of the braised fish filled his nose. Xu shrugged and quickened his hands, shoveling the big fish into several plates.
The stewed animal hoof was soft and tasty, so Qi directly moved it, the boiled fish and the pottery jar to the reef.
Knowing that Yu Sui loved to eat shrimp, Xu put the shrimp on the fire and roasted it slowly. The shrimp's shell made a crackling sound on the fire and gradually turned red.
Qi entered the tent and took out some felt to use as cushions for the two cubs and placed them on their seats. Mimi stared at the food and sat down next to Yu Sui, waiting obediently for her food to be distributed.
Yu Sui's heart was softened by the obedient Mimi, so he found chopsticks to pick up food for her. Afraid that she couldn't stand spicy food, he picked up some braised fish for her. The fish was very big and had almost no tiny bones.
He picked up the stewed soft and boneless animal hoof and put it into Mimi's bowl, then opened the crab shell and put a piece of white crab meat for Mimi.
After hibernating for a long time, Mimi's stomach was already empty. If Yu Sui hadn't discovered it by accident, she might have starved to death before being discovered by the monsters and taken as food.
At this moment, the fragrant food was right in front of her. Mimi couldn't help it any longer. She held the spoon that Yu Sui gave her with her short little hands and quickly put the food into her mouth. The way she ate was seriously inconsistent with her appearance, and she rarely even chewed.
Only then did Yu Sui feel that Mimi was indeed like a snake. Snakes swallow their prey directly and then digest it slowly.
Seeing how happily she ate, Yu Sui also began to eat with peace of mind.
The meat of the sea fish is firm and clumped together like garlic cloves. Dip it in the soup on the plate and put it in your mouth. The salty and fresh soup and the fish are a perfect match.
Xu was already busy eating, and his stomach, which had been hungry for most of the day, was finally soothed by the delicious food, while Qi next to him was also eating at the same pace.
Yu Sui didn't dare to give the two of them any more of the spicy fried oysters. He pulled the plate to his side and said, "You can't eat any more of this. It's not good for an adult orc to eat too much."
Afraid that the two would misunderstand him as protecting his food, Yu Sui hurriedly explained.
