In the tree hole of the Greenwood Forest.
The red flames licked the greenish-black eggshell, and the boiling soup bubbled with bubbles. The steaming steam lingered in the air, bringing along a tempting fragrance that entered people's noses, causing them to constantly look in that direction.
The big white wolf who was lying on the ground and refused to help because of his clumsiness could not resist such temptation. From time to time, he raised his head to look at Gou Liang who was busy around the six bonfires.
Inside the hydropterosaur eggshell was the leg bone of the four-horned bull beast.
No orc had ever tried this way of eating, but the whimsical Gou Liang proved that the bone soup of the exotic beast was indeed very delicious, and the milky white soup was rich in nutrients. Even Meng Hao felt warm and energetic after drinking it.
It was conceivable that it was a good thing.
They had decided to share this important discovery with the priest immediately after returning to the tribe.
At this time, Gou Liang was stir-frying the beef of the four-horned bull. He added the seeds of the red pepper grass to it. The slightly pungent spicy fragrance made Meng Hao very worried about whether this dish was suitable for little females to eat.
On his left side, half of the four-horned bull was roasting on the fire. Meng Hao, who was driven away, listened to Gou Liang's instructions and flipped the half of the bull. From time to time, he would claw the bull to help the beef cook faster and the heat was more uniform. The roasted whole bull that was about to be cooked sizzled. A few streaks of oil slid down the full beef lines and fell into the fire. The tongue of the flame wanted to taste the delicious food and soared a little higher.
On Gou Liang's right side, there were steaks that were cut into the same size as the rectangular eggshell. They were fried together on five rectangular eggshells.
The meat was taken from the most tender waist of the four-horned bull. The meat had turned from pink to brownish red again. Gou Liang drizzled the juice of the monkey wine fruit, which was the favorite of the ape tribe orcs. The fragrance was so strong that it made people want to eat.
On the right side of the ox-head fruit shell, the beef was braised extravagantly with fresh wine-colored red moon flowers.
The last bonfire was steaming the flesh of a milkberry, which was a little bigger than a pterosaur egg.
The smell of food made people feel that the waiting process was very long. Meng Hao's eyes unconsciously wandered around the fire, and finally fell on Gou Liang, who was vigorously waving a human-shaped shovel made from a branch of a red leaf tree and stir-frying the beef. His ice-blue eyes were filled with undetectable concentration, and his tail was wagging, revealing a hint of urging.
Sweat rolled down. Gou Liang roughly raised his arm to wipe it to prevent the sweat from falling into his eyes.
Meng Hao saw that his forehead and the back of his neck were soaked in sweat. He wrapped his tail around the white fur of the long-toothed beast, soaked it in water, and handed it to Meng Hao.
Seeing Gou Liang shaking his head in refusal, Meng Hao turned back into his human form and wiped his sweat personally.
The cold touch made Gou Liang let out a comfortable sigh. He turned around and said, "Wait a little longer. Dinner will be ready soon."
His smile was even brighter than the red moon flowers blooming under the sun.
Meng Hao was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously revealed a smile.
After the beef was served, Gou Liang switched to a fruit shell and stir-fried two vegetables. Then, everything was ready.
The tree trunk that was split in half by his sharp claws was used as a table, and the table was filled with delicious food.
A whole four-horned cow was meticulously cooked. The tender and juicy steak, the sweet and sour red moon flower stewed beef, the fragrant and crispy roasted whole cow, the spicy stir-fried beef, the steaming hot beef soup …
There were also green and crisp God's Beard Grass, Moonlight Flower Leaves, and crystal clear milk rice …
"I'm so happy!"
Gou Liang stuck the long-toothed beast's fur to his face, revealing his bright eyes to look at the big white wolf who was carefully cutting the steak into small pieces with his nails that were sharper than a knife. He felt that this was the happiest moment in his life.
"It's enough. I can't eat too much."
After cutting half of the steak, Gou Liang called out to Meng Hao. The big white wolf, who already knew his appetite, did not say anything and directly threw the remaining half of the steak into his mouth.
"Is it good?"
Seeing his icy blue eyes slightly squint, Gou Liang looked at him expectantly.
Meng Hao nodded. "Yes."
Even if it was not the first time he had eaten Gou Liang's cooking, he could not help but praise in his heart.
Seeing this, Gou Liang contentedly picked up a small piece of steak and put it into his mouth. He chewed and nodded — it could not be better! Natural and pollution-free wild delicacies. The orcs who had been focusing on dark cuisine for thousands of years were really wasting God's gift!
Originally, Gou Liang did not dare to cook in the wild for fear of provoking mutated beasts. After all, stealing food was a small matter, but losing his life was a big matter.
It was not until he learned from Meng Hao about the uniqueness of the Cyanwood Forest that he let go of his hands and feet.
The Cyanwood Forest was the largest forest in the Wob Great Plains. It was occupied by the Cyanwood Tribe of the apes and monkeys. Legend had it that there were also Ents.
The small corner of the Cyanwood Forest where they were now was called the Ents' Forest. It was the territory of the Ents.
Although Gou Liang had never met the so-called Ents in the past few days, as the old priest had told Meng Hao, the Ents were the best friends of the Winged Wolf Tribe. According to the old priest, this was because many years ago, when there were only members of the Winged Wolf Tribe in the Wall Tribe, a great priest had saved the Ents and made an eternal contract with them. He would not hurt any of the Winged Wolf Tribe Orcs.
Moreover, the powerful and mysterious Ents had a strong deterrent effect on mutated beasts. No mutated beast dared to step into their territory. Even the fiercest Black Armor Tyrannosaurus dared not step into the minefield.
That was why Meng Hao, who had just reached adulthood, had chosen this place as a permanent foothold.
In just a few days, after constant exploration and bold attempts, Gou Liang had successfully used the indigenous food of the Orc World to play a mixed song of delicacies. Every dish was full of surprises. These delicacies had conquered Meng Hao's taste buds and made him realize that he had been eating fake beast meat for the first 30 years of his life!
His life in the wild had become more fulfilling and busy because of the delicacies.
As the first ray of sunlight rose, Gou Liang prepared breakfast. Meng Hao went out to gather red salt fruits, milkberries, red cloud fruits, red moon flowers, and so on. The more the better. Although the Ents' Forest was very safe, he did not dare to go far. When Gou Liang finished preparing breakfast and blew the bone whistle, Meng Hao brought back a bag of precious fruits. After that, the two of them, full of energy, set off on their hunting journey.
The darker the skin, the stronger the mutated beast. Usually, the meat contained more energy and would not rot easily. Therefore, Meng Hao liked to hunt for the black-skinned mutated beasts with the largest tonnage and the most meat.
The battles were intense, but nine out of ten times, Meng Hao would emerge victorious and return with a bountiful harvest.
At night, Gou Liang curled up under Meng Hao's stomach, hugging his big tail and sleeping contentedly. He enjoyed the most peaceful moment of the day.
However, good times were always short.
Ten days passed in a flash. They would set off on their return journey the next day.
Females had limited appetites. After Gou Liang finished eating, he got off the table and started packing. He was troubled by the small mountain of fruits in the corner of the tree hole. He could not bear to throw away even the pocket-sized Red Fist Fruits.
"Meng Hao, can we take these things with us?"
He asked expectantly.
Meng Hao, who was drinking soup, nodded casually. He did not care about the weight of the fruits.
Gou Liang was very happy when he heard that. He spread out the animal skin and started to get busy.
Meng Hao swung his tail and looked at him while drinking soup and chewing on the roasted meat.
No matter how dangerous and tiring the day's battles were, at this moment, Meng Hao's heart was filled with a sense of steadiness and relaxation that he had never felt before.
The scene in front of him was ordinary and simple, but it filled him with energy. He looked forward to his daily life for no reason.
This feeling was very unfamiliar to Meng Hao, but it appeared frequently in the past two days.
He instinctively felt that this comfortable feeling that made him relax his vigilance might be hiding a deep danger, so he restrained it very carefully. However, it still popped up from time to time.
Just like that, when he saw Gou Liang treating the fruits in the forest like treasures, Meng Hao swung his tail lazily and was unwilling to move.
He was thinking that he could collect more fruits before he left tomorrow. For example, the Red Cloud Fruit. The little female liked it very much. Every time she could not eat anymore, she would shamelessly eat more before stopping. The Monkey Wine Fruit was not bad either. He had noticed the little female secretly drinking the fruit juice behind his back several times … As he thought about it, Meng Hao suddenly had a thought. Perhaps, he should find a female to spend the rest of his life with.
Just like right now, on this ordinary night, watching his female smiling happily because of her worry-free life, watching him busily preparing a delicious meal for her, watching him hugging her tail and talking about the exotic beast he had defeated, talking about the rare fruits he had collected today …
Meng Hao was startled. He suddenly realized that he had brought Gou Liang into the image of "his female". He immediately stopped this scary thought.
He retracted his gaze from Gou Liang and increased his eating speed.
[System: Master, Master, the target's favorability fluctuated strongly just now. It's on the rise! Seize the opportunity and pounce on him, pounce on him, awooo awooo!]
Gou Liang's eyes lit up and he raised his head to look at Meng Hao.
The big white wolf had just finished his dinner and stood up to shake his fur. He began to take down the exotic beast meat hanging on the tree hole and packed it up. He did not notice Meng Hao's crafty eyes that were obviously scheming something.
They had a bountiful harvest from this hunt.
Putting everything else aside, just the exotic beast meat that was hung all over the tree hole, boiled with red salt, fruit oars, and hot water, and dried under the sun, was more than enough for Meng Hao and his brother to hand in. Not only that, there was more than enough to spare. Other than that, there was also Gou Liang's small mountain of fruits. Gou Liang had especially insisted on leaving an Aquapteryx egg for Meng Hui. Piles of animal skins, precious herbs … If it wasn't for the big white wolf's strong carrying ability, they might not have been able to bring it all back.
After everything was packed, the Red Moon had already climbed to the top of the tree.
Gou Liang was soaking in warm water in the shell of a kind of fruit called ox-head fruit. He stretched out his limbs comfortably, and the tiredness of the day had completely dissipated. He lay on the edge of the shell, soaking in the bath while looking at Meng Hao, who was squatting outside the tree hole with his back facing him. The villain in his heart was biting the big white wolf's tail fiercely: After sleeping on the same bed for so long, he didn't even get to kiss his little mouth. He could only secretly stroke his fur. It was simply a big failure in his life!
"Have you washed your hair?"
Meng Hao waited for Gou Liang to finish bathing before returning to the cave in a gentlemanly manner. When he saw Gou Liang's long wet hair, he immediately frowned.
"I sweated a lot. I don't feel well."
Gou Liang scratched his head, looking as if he had made a mistake and was justified.
Meng Hao glared at him.
There was a female in the Wall Tribe who died of illness because she didn't dry her hair and went to sleep after washing it. This happened when Meng Hao was young. He saw it with his own eyes, so how could he be careless? He had already specially instructed Gou Liang, but he didn't expect him to be so disobedient.
Seeing Gou Liang yawning and about to sleep, Meng Hao immediately grabbed him out of the tree hole and transformed back into his beast form. He used his tail to fling Gou Liang onto his head and threw him a piece of animal skin with long fangs, warning him, "If you don't dry your hair, you're not allowed to sleep."
Gou Liang lay on his head, wiping his hair carelessly while smiling mischievously at him, "Are you really angry? You won't be able to find a female if you get angry so easily. Let me tell you. "
Meng Hao was completely unmoved.
Gou Liang snorted and sat cross-legged on his head, wiping his hair with all his might.
The night breeze blew. It was rare for the hot red rose season to be so cool. Gou Liang looked up at the red moon in the sky. It was like a burning red fireball, emitting light, allowing him to easily see things in the night with his female vision.
It seemed that there were only the two of them left in this world, and no one could disturb them.
In fact, this was also the case. Gou Liang thought of a lot of troublesome things when he returned to the Wall tribe, and felt even more reluctant to leave this place.
"It's so nice here … Meng Hao, are we still coming back here in two days?"
"No."
"Why? Then where are we going next? "
Gou Liang asked curiously. Seeing that Meng Hao didn't answer, he pulled Meng Hao's fur, "I'm talking to you."
Meng Hao raised his head. Gou Liang was caught off guard and rolled down from the top of his head. He fell under Meng Hao's thick and soft neck and cried out twice.
"You're playing with me again!"
Gou Liang pulled his fur and climbed back onto his head. He didn't learn his lesson and stepped on his head, but his hands were vigilantly holding onto his fur. He lowered his center of gravity to prevent him from falling down again.
A smile appeared in Meng Hao's ice-blue eyes.
Without teasing him again, Meng Hao answered his previous question, "There's no Purple Flower Red Moon here. I'm going to look for it somewhere else until I find it."
Gou Liang understood and touched his head, saying, "Don't worry, he'll get better. Even if we can't find the Purple Flower Red Moon, it doesn't matter. Didn't Ghar say that I prayed for him to stand up again? Then I can also pray for the Beast God to restore his warrior's glory. I think I'm definitely more powerful now than before! "
Meng Hao shrugged his head and motioned for him to continue drying his hair, saying, "If we can rely on our own strength to achieve something, don't easily pray to the Beast God. Otherwise, the Beast God will punish the greedy Orcs and even the whole tribe."
"Isn't that a request for the Priest? I'm not. "
"Even so, the punishment will not fall on the tribe, but on you."
"Oh, you're worried about me."
"… …"
Gou Liang smiled and continued to say, "It turns out that in your heart, I'm more important than your brother. I'm so touched."
Meng Hao again, "… …"
Gou Liang smiled and dried his hair. When his long black hair was almost dry, he was a little reluctant to come down from Meng Hao's head, so he simply lay on his head, his fingers hooking his snow-white soft hair in circles, and discussed with him, "Then wait until next year, can you bring me here again? At that time, we'll pick a lot of monkey wine fruits and bring them back. Didn't you say that the Priest likes to drink the fruit juice of monkey wine the most — — "
"No."
Meng Hao interrupted him, "You'll be an adult at the Red Moon Ceremony. At that time, You Hui will protect you, but he needs to guard the tribe, I'm afraid he won't have time to accompany you. "
Gou Liang was stunned and hurriedly said, "Why is it Meng Hui? What about you? "
Meng Hao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask such a question, "… … Didn't Ghar and the Priest tell you? Meng Hui is your unmarried beastman, you'll be contracted at the end of the Red Rose Season. "
"What did you say?!"
Gou Liang suddenly stood up, his body swaying a little. He grabbed Meng Hao's long hair and stumbled down his face, sat on the big white wolf's nose and asked him loudly, "What did you mean just now? How can I be contracted with Meng Hui?! Shouldn't it be with Meng Hao, what's going on? "
The clever Meng Hao immediately took back his words and wanted to say something. He lowered his head and lowered his head to put him on the ground.
Gou Liang held his face tightly, "You make it clear!"
Meng Hao changed back to his human form and ignored Gou Liang who was sitting on the ground. He only said, "Although you have lost your memory, a promise is a promise. I hope you can keep it. Don't let Meng Hui be sad."
Before, he was not willing to let Meng Hui and Gou Liang contact each other. Even when Gou Liang lost his memory for the first time and became a five-year-old child, he did not change his mind.
But after Gou Liang was injured and lost his memory again, The Old Priest made it clear that the hope of Gou Liang recovering his memory was slim, so they should be mentally prepared. Now "Lang Xi" had removed the arrogant barbarism of the past, leaving only the softest and purest part. His character was no longer worrying. During this time of getting along, Meng Hao was more certain that Gou Liang had the ability to take care of Meng Hui, so he no longer thought about opposing their contract.
"But... Meng Hao, you wait..."
After seeing Meng Hao's attitude, he had no intention to say more and turned to leave. Gou Liang got up and caught up with him.
He still wanted to say something, but Meng Hao said, "Lang Xi, Hui wants you to be his partner. You have also made an oath in front of Priest Da Ren and the Chieftain. Although a lot of things happened later, I think you can bring happiness to Hui now, so- "
"I don't want to!"
Gou Liang shouted, "I won't form a contract with him, I-"
"Lang Xi." Meng Hao raised his voice and interrupted him, "Hui is the best warrior of the Winged Wolf Tribe. Now that his legs have recovered, he will be able to guard the tribe again one day. You have no reason to break your promise. Believe me, there is no better partner for you than him. "
Gou Liang looked at him incredulously. His eyes, which were always full of smiles, were wet with tears. He said,
"But- the person I like is you!"
