Chapter 99
The fulfilling salt-boiling time was over, and as the time was about right, a few people packed up their luggage and prepared to embark on their journey back home.
They need to go back to the Black Tu tribe first, and then go to the Tauren with Chief Bombur and farm tools.
The journey back was quite long, and they couldn't delay any longer at the beach.
Even though they were reluctant to leave the sea rich in food, Yu Sui and his companions still set off with the sleeping Mimi, the gray falcon egg that was about to hatch, and Shu Yu.
In the absence of a big bird to incubate the eggs, Yu Sui covered the gray falcon with a thick piece of fur to keep it warm.
Xu carried frozen shrimp, crab, fish and other seafood, as well as dried ones. Qi disliked the strong smell and chose to carry other luggage.
Yu Sui sat on Qi's back as usual. This time, Shu Yu and Mi Mi were there, and the fur used to block the wind was replaced by a larger and thicker winged tiger skin.
Their luggage was several times more than when they came. Not only did they hardly consume the dried meat they brought with them, but they also had a lot more food.
In addition to many large shell combs, there were also beautiful shells and conchs carefully selected by Yu Sui. If it weren't for the strong load-bearing capacity of the Snow Wolf Man, it would be difficult to bring them all back.
The temperature gradually rose as we came here, and the monsters became more and more active, with fresh prey being found every day.
Now on our way back, it's getting colder and colder, and the dried meat in the package is finally useful.
Having been accustomed to the various delicious foods prepared by Yu Sui, Xu and Qi found it a little difficult to swallow the dried meat.
"Oh, I almost forgot how I spent last winter."
Xu held a large piece of dry meat and gnawed it tastelessly, sighing and complaining.
The fire flickered, swaying with the night wind, and the light on people's faces became bright and dark.
Qi also gnawed on a large piece of dried meat, frowning slightly, "It's good to have something to eat. At least you won't starve."
Yu Sui was taking out animal oil from his luggage when he heard the complaints. He turned around and saw the two men already chewing on the dried meat. He almost burst out laughing.
"I haven't grilled it yet, so you guys are just eating it like this. It will taste better if it's processed again, although it won't be as good as fresh meat."
Shuyu was about to move the dried meat given to him far away to prevent the faint stench from invading his nose, but when he heard Yu Sui's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped what he was doing.
He didn't know how the orcs could swallow this stinky meat that was dried in the air without any seasoning.
He knew that orcs lived in poverty, but experiencing it firsthand was another matter.
Looking at his expression, you can tell that he has been pampered since childhood. Yu Sui took out a fish to grill together. If Shu Yu couldn't get used to their dried meat, he could eat grilled fish.
Shuyu has a small appetite, and even if he is given special food, he can't eat much. Naturally, the two adult snow wolves won't mind.
What's more, the fish was quite large, and most of it ended up in their stomachs.
Tonight, a few of us found a cave. Although it was not as comfortable as the big cave we found when we first arrived, it could barely shelter us from the wind.
The cave was small, but they could still move around using human form. They were currently lighting a fire inside to prepare for dinner.
Yu Sui was worried that Shuyu would get frostbite due to the increasingly cold temperature, but Shuyu later put on clothes made of his elf cloth. Although they looked thin, they were surprisingly warm.
His face looked much rosier than when he was wearing the animal skin coat, and this dark green suit was slim-fitting, much better looking than their bulky animal skin coats.
He looks very noble, and with the dark boots, his face is as handsome as jade and his body is as slender as bamboo.
Yu Sui handed the jars of animal oil and sauce to Qi Hexu, and took a brush himself. He sprinkled some water on the dried meat, and then brushed the animal oil and sauce on it layer by layer after it was moistened.
The flavor of the seasoning is important, and the stench of the dry meat is not too noticeable, so it is still edible.
Yu Sui picked a slightly smaller frozen fish, roasted it, and sprinkled it with spice powder, which made it smell delicious.
Fresh fish has a chewy texture, while frozen fish is slightly inferior.
However, sea fish itself has a light taste, fresh meat, and few sharp bones. It tastes better than river fish after being frozen and then grilled.
In his previous life, he lived inland and had few opportunities to eat fresh sea fish. It was not until he grew up that he had the opportunity to buy various fresh sea fish for cooking.
He still remembers that when he was a child, there was an uncle who came to the village to sell fish. Baskets of frozen fish were laid out on the ground for people to choose from. At that time, his grandmother would buy a few fish for him and stew them in a pot to satisfy his craving.
What I remember most vividly is the braised hairtail fish made by my grandmother. Unfortunately, they were only active near the coast this time, and I don’t know if there are any hairtail fish in the deep sea here.
Yu Sui gave Shu Yu a large piece of grilled fish, but seeing that Shu Yu didn't want to eat the dried meat, he put the dried meat away.
Fortunately, it was Shuyu who picked up the tree. If it were any other orc, Shuyu would have starved to death.
"Thank you." Shuyu nodded in thanks, his words and actions elegant and noble.
Under the firelight, Yu Sui looked at the men with different styles but all very pleasing to the eye, and the barbecue in his mouth tasted even more delicious.
"Humans eat too little. They don't even eat as much as people under 10 years old. No wonder they are short."
Xu frowned and looked at Shuyu in disbelief as he ate the grilled fish in his hand. He couldn't understand how Shuyu could be full when the grilled fish was not even big enough to fill his teeth.
Shuyu's straight back stiffened for a moment.
"Pfft! Brother Xu, could you please stop hurting other people's feelings? We are still young and can grow up!"
Yu Sui almost spit out the water he had just drunk and said angrily.
Shuyu looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and was a little taller than him.
In fact, this body is similar to Yu Sui's previous life, also about 1.7 meters tall. However, compared with the Snow Wolf Clan where the average height is about 2 meters, it seems a bit short.
Yu Sui looked at Shu Yu, who was eating with his face turned sideways without saying a word, and always felt that he was biting his teeth extra hard.
The orcs have nerves thicker than steel and their emotional intelligence is so low that it is unbearable to look at them.
It is not unreasonable that the original owner turned evil in the end. It is indeed difficult to be a person with a sensitive and inward-looking personality among orcs.
"I wanted to help Mimi find her family on the way, but the little guy still hasn't woken up."
Xu pointed at Mimi, who was placed next to the fire by Yu Sui, and shook his head helplessly.
Mimi slept soundly all the way, probably because the crisis was over and her stomach was full. Sometimes she would even snore when she slept deeply.
Yu Sui touched Mimi's cool scales. Now that he had been trained by Mimi, he was no longer afraid of snake scales.
"There's nothing we can do. It's just the nature of the snake tribe. Besides, the temperature gets lower the further we get to the tribe, and she's even more unwilling to wake up."
He felt helpless when talking about this, and now he could only bring her back to the tribe.
There is also a huge monster egg standing next to the campfire. The little gray falcon inside has been making more and more noises in the past few days. It is estimated that it will hatch out of the shell soon.
Shuyu's gaze swept across the monster egg and finally stopped on Yu Sui.
