Ye Li could finally get out of bed with peace of mind, then picked up the tools to make a fire and cooked a meal. Although Tu Ling said she was not hungry, Ye Li still cooked a little more in case she would be hungry when she woke up later.
"I want to eat too," Lan Jiao added.
In the past, Ye Li would definitely ignore Lan Jiao, but now it is different. If he wants to join Tu Ling's camp in the future, he will need their help.
So Ye Li brought the freshly grilled meat to Lan Jiao's hand and said, "Hey, you have a baby, eat more."
"You have some conscience and didn't let me down by pulling you up."
"You pulled me up here?"
Lan Jiao took a bite of the barbecue and sighed with satisfaction, "Otherwise, do you think Tu Ling would personally brave the rain to get you out?"
Ye Li lowered his head. He really thought that it was Tu Ling who carried him up.
"Thank you for bringing me up here." Ye Li looked at Lan Jiao: "It was all my fault before. Now I want to ask Tu Ling to forgive me. I also want to join you. Can you help me?"
Lan Jiao puffed out her belly and said, "Why do you think I'm willing to help you possess my wife? I'm pregnant. Are you being polite?"
"But only when the camp is strong can it be truly powerful. My joining you will make Tu Ling's camp even stronger."
Lan Jiao looked at Ye Li with amusement. He really thought that Tu Ling was looking for males to strengthen the camp. Having her in the camp was enough. As for them, they were just kept around for their good looks. "What else can you do besides cooking and boiling water after you join us? You have to fight with them for these two jobs."
Ye Li felt a little embarrassed by what he said. He naturally knew that Tu Ling was too strong, which made him look too weak. If they really encountered a powerful enemy, Tu Ling would have to protect them.
"But I can help you take care of the kids!"
"Hmm..." Lan Jiao hesitated. Although he liked the cub very much, the cubs of mermaids were very clingy. It could be said that after the child was born, he had no time to play games with Tu Ling. If Ye Li could help him, it would not be unacceptable.
"Okay! I'll help you, and don't forget to help me take care of the baby when the time comes."
Joy welled up in Ye Li's heart. It was just a cub. Fu Xiang and Yin Guitar could both take it with them, not to mention a mermaid cub. "Okay!"
Lan Jiao waved at Ye Li, and Ye Li immediately lay on the ground. The two of them put their heads together and whispered about how to join the Tu Ling camp.
"I'm telling you, there's no need for any skills, just your face is enough. You have to show your beauty from time to time, and show how weak and pitiful you are. Tu Ling may look cold, but she's actually very soft-hearted."
Lan Jiao said it seriously, leaving Ye Li stunned: "But I have dressed myself up well recently, but Tu Ling has not forgiven me."
"That just means you're not pretty enough, but you can't be too deliberate. She likes the subtle presence, so you have to be subtle."
"Okay, I'll try."
Lan Jiao patted Ye Li's shoulder and said, "I'm counting on you."
Anyway, Tu Ling will definitely forgive Ye Li in the end, so it would be wise for him to take the opportunity to gain some benefits.
It was already dawn outside the cave, but due to the heavy rain, the light was still dim and had a faint blue tint.
When Tu Ling woke up, she saw Ye Li sitting at the entrance of the cave, leaning against a wooden board. As he was sitting, his long hair was casually draped on the ground. The breeze blew his hair up, and the drizzle hit his face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he really liked this kind of weather.
As soon as Tu Ling moved, Ye Li immediately put away the smile on his face and looked panicked, like a frightened little rabbit.
He looked towards Tu Ling, his eyes locked on her: "I...I'm just taking a look."
Seeing that he lied like this, Tu Ling didn't know what to say. She just nodded, distant and indifferent.
Ye Li saw Tu Ling's expression and lowered his head dejectedly. He posed for a long time and finally waited for Tu Ling to wake up, but there was no reaction at all.
Did he become ugly?
Tu Ling got out of bed, and the other males naturally followed suit. Some got water, some got charcoal, and some prepared to cook.
"No need to do it, I've already done it."
Ye Li opened the pot, and inside were several pieces of tender and juicy barbecue.
Zi Ye said disdainfully: "Who asked you to roast it."
Just as he was about to throw the barbecue away, Lan Jiao immediately shouted, "Hey, Zi Ye! Food is scarce during the rainy season. Do you want to waste it?"
His loud voice really attracted everyone's attention. Seeing Zi Ye about to throw away the barbecue, everyone looked puzzled.
Zi Ye couldn't decide whether to throw the meat in his hand or not.
But after hesitating for a while, he put his hand down silently: "Why are you looking at me? I just want to warm up the meat."
After hearing what Zi Ye said, everyone turned their heads back to their own business.
"Lan Jiao!"
Zi Ye walked quickly to Lan Jiao with a fierce look on his face: "What are you doing! We are on the same side! Why do I feel like you want to help Ye Li?"
Lan Jiao looked coquettish: "What's the matter?"
Whoever takes care of the baby is the boss.
Zi Ye was angered by Lan Jiao's indifferent tone and expression, but he didn't dare to hit Lan Jiao. He could only look at Ye Li fiercely: "There is no way I will agree to let you join our camp!"
After saying that, he took the barbecue to heat it up.
Ye Li sat in the corner shivering with a guilty look on his face, his expression innocent.
Shiyi looked at Ziye and nudged him with his elbow: "Are you going a little too far?"
Zi Ye looked at Shi Yi in disbelief and pointed his finger at himself: "I went too far? What did I do?!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Ye Li quickly came over to stop them: "Stop quarreling, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Zi Ye. Zi Ye didn't do anything."
"Did you hear that?" Zi Ye looked at Shi Yi speechlessly, "He's the one who has the problem, don't blame me!"
Ye Li responded in a low voice, then lowered his head. He knew at a glance that he was being bullied, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Shiyi sighed. Ye Li was also quite miserable, but he couldn't speak for him. He and Zi Ye were in the same camp, so he could only continue to do his own thing silently.
Seeing that they had stopped arguing, Ye Li turned and walked towards the corner where he was squatting. The moment he turned around, a smug smile appeared on his face.
Lan Jiao saw this and felt a chill down his spine. Learning so quickly? He had only taught Ye Li a few techniques, and he had already mastered them so skillfully. He wondered if Ye Li would bring him any trouble.
After finishing the meal, Tu Ling looked at the wet ground and said, "Let's wipe the ground again later, and then spread some animal skin on the ground at the entrance of the cave, so that there will be less water in the cave."
Yinhen cut a piece of animal hide of relatively good quality into several pieces and distributed them to several people.
"Can I have one?"
Ye Li asked cautiously, and Yin Hen felt that if he didn't give it to him, he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
"Well, here you go."
Ye Li was so grateful that he almost cried: "Thank you, Yinhen."
Seeing him like this, Yinhen had only one thought in his mind:
