Chapter 22 Perilla Leaves



After struggling for a while, Luo Bai finally spoke.

"Huang Yu, how about you stay by You Ran's side and I'll take care of the hunting!"

"good!"

Huang Yu agreed without hesitation, while Mu Youran sat to the side, listening to their conversation without interrupting.

To be honest, she didn't want to encounter this kind of thing again; it was better to have a male with her.

She was somewhat surprised that Huang Yu agreed so readily.

In her view, the most important thing for a male is to have a career, but this handsome male in front of her is willing to give up his future for her.

This put a lot of pressure on her; she didn't know if she was worthy of Huang Yu's deep affection.

However, she believed in herself and that she could make a name for herself in this world with Huang Yu!

Night fell, and the whole world went dark.

Ying Yao's heart was also terribly gloomy. The three male eagles in front of him were kneeling on the ground, trembling, not daring to say a word.

"You three disobeyed orders and took it upon yourselves to seize a female. Cut off one of your own legs!"

"Thank you, Chieftain!"

The three men were so grateful that they kowtowed and thanked them profusely, thinking they were being asked to cut off their arms.

I never expected it was just legs. The Eagle Clan can live without legs, but they can't live without wings.

Losing legs might weaken your fighting ability, but losing wings makes you a useless person.

Even the lowest-ranking wild beasts on land can take their lives.

This punishment was also something Ying Yao had carefully considered.

These three should be punished, but the burden on the tribe should not be increased because of their punishment.

If you can't move your arms, then move your legs!

"Get out!"

He waved his hand impatiently, and the three of them were immediately swept out of the cave by a strong gust of wind, landing in mid-air. They steadied themselves with a single flip and headed down into the cave below.

He picked up the yellowish-white animal sinew from the table and gently rubbed it in his hand, wondering how that pretty little female was doing now.

Is she currently enjoying a happy and fulfilling relationship with her partner? She probably wishes she could forget about this bad male.

Suddenly he realized that he had forgotten to ask the female's name!

He then shook his head with amusement: "Ying Yao, you're really quite obsessed. She's just a pretty female, why are you so hung up on her?"

There are plenty of beautiful females in the world, she's not the only one!

He muttered something to himself, turned around, rummaged through the box, pulled out a bag, and left the cave, heading straight for the distant Yunmeng Marsh!

——

Mu Youran slept well. Last night, Huang Yu and Luo Bai wisely refrained from provoking her, and she felt very refreshed when she woke up this morning.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing a slight sense of coolness.

"Phoenix Feather, let's go gather some."

"OK!"

Huang Yu tidied up the things in the house, carried a basket on his back and came out. Anyway, he didn't like squatting in the cave all day.

"Then I'll go find Xiaomei and the others!"

You Ran quickly ran to Xiao Mei's cave to find her, but as soon as she arrived at the cave entrance, she heard a noisy commotion inside.

"Xiaomei, don't be so fickle, falling in love with every new girl you meet!"

"He'll only get into this cave if I, Black Hair, am dead!"

Mu Youran stood at the cave entrance, knowing that now was not the time to look for someone; she should wait until they finished arguing.

However, as soon as she turned to leave, she heard crying behind her.

Before she could turn around, Xiaomei called out to her.

"You Ran, what brings you here?"

Mu Youran didn't expect her to come out at this time, so she could only turn around and say with a smile, "I came to find you to collect some materials, but I didn't expect to hear about you..."

The two understood each other without the words being spoken.

Xiaomei didn't want to stay at home anyway, and when she heard that You Ran had come specifically to find her, she immediately followed her.

"Come on, let's go outside and play."

The two walked outside hand in hand, and Huang Yu followed behind, keeping quiet.

You Ran and Xiao Mei have been through thick and thin together this time, so it's natural that they have a good relationship and can't stop talking.

Fortunately, Xiaomei wisely refrained from bringing up those troublesome topics at this time.

This made You Ran think more highly of her, because people are most likely to pass on their negative emotions to those around them at times like this.

Xiaomei didn't say anything at this time, but just told me where to collect and what to find there!

Led by her, the three quickly found a jujube tree, which was full of bright red jujubes.

Mu Youran walked over in surprise, picked one, threw it directly into her mouth, bit down hard, and immediately showed pain on her face.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He spat out the date from his mouth, and there was a large seed inside.

"My God, this core is way too big! It almost broke my teeth!"

Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh out loud at his funny expression.

"Haha, that's how these dates are. They have little flesh and large pits, but they taste great—crisp and sweet!"

Mu Youran was much more careful this time, and ate one directly from her hand. It tasted really good, except for the large pit.

Huang Yu smiled and said, "If you like, we'll pick some more to take home."

Mu Youran shook her head: "Enough for the three of us is enough. If there's too much, it'll just rot when we get back!"

So the group picked a large bunch of dates and put them in a leather bag as a snack.

With a slightly cool breeze blowing, everyone knew that the hottest time was coming to an end.

It was time to stock up on food, which is why Luo Bai gave up the task of taking care of You Ran and went outside to lead the tribe on a hunt.

Mu Youran stood on the hillside, a gentle breeze blowing, and took a deep breath of fresh air, enjoying herself immensely.

Suddenly, a large patch of purple appeared before my eyes, then vanished in an instant.

She was slightly taken aback; that purple color looked so familiar!

Then I looked in the direction it appeared, and there was only a patch of green, with no purple at all.

Just then, another gust of wind blew by, and the purple color reappeared before our eyes.

She then realized that the wind had blown the back of the leaf out, which was why it appeared purple.

She excitedly ran over and flipped it over to take a look; it really was purple.

Wow, so much perilla!

Xiaomei was eating dates when she suddenly heard Youran's excited voice. She quickly went over and saw that it was just an ordinary weed.

"You Ran, you can't eat this, it's too old."

“There are plenty of grasses that are prettier than this.”

Mu Youran quickly picked a lot of leaves and said with a smile, "These are the best for wrapping roasted meat after we wash them and take them home."

"Not only can you wrap grilled meat in it, but you can also stir-fry it directly. It tastes delicious!"

"Don't believe me? Smell it!"

He reached out and handed Xiaomei a leaf. Xiaomei looked at the grass in front of her and, apart from its pretty color, she really didn't think it was edible.

However, I still obliged and put it under my nose to smell it; a faint, refreshing fragrance wafted up.

My eyes lit up instantly: "It really does smell nice!"

Mu Youran smiled and said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight, I'll cook for you!"

"OK!"

Xiaomei happily agreed immediately, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had made a mistake.
