There is always something to eat me

Chapter 13 Divide

As soon as Gu Jia saw Bai Yuan's face change, he felt a "thud" in his heart, and secretly thought that something was wrong - he must have accidentally asked some taboo topic, right?

He thought for a while, and was about to say something to make amends, when he heard Bai Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a group of disgusting rats who don't see the light, don't worry about it, they won't make it through."

When Gu Jia heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and looked across the river in surprise.If it's really a group of rats, it's really disgusting.But are they really going to make it through?As far as he could tell, mice seemed to be able to swim.

Gu Jia thought of this, and looked towards the dense forest on the other side of the river.Because of the long distance and the dense forest, he still couldn't see anything.But the creepy feeling of being stared at by something, not only did not disappear, but became more intense.

Gu Jia couldn't help frowning, secretly thinking about being more prepared in the future.He still doesn't know enough about this wild continent. Before leaving, he probably needs to live in this bobcat tribe for a while, so he has to be careful.

Having made up his mind, he didn't bother to pay attention to those disgusting mice anymore, but instead focused on the quilted pig.He wanted to see how Bai Yuan planned to deal with it.

There are many flat and huge stone slabs placed by the river, like a desk.Gu Jia saw that many men were standing by the table, struggling to deal with the prey on the table.

Some of those prey look like cows, some look like sheep, and some look like rabbits, in short, all kinds.At this time, Bai Yuan had already placed the bristle pig on the desk, then took out a round knife, neatly cut a line from the middle of the belly, and carefully peeled off the bristle pig's skin.

Aqiu has been watching Gu Jia carefully, seeing that he has been staring at Bai Yuan handling the bristle pig, so he explained in a low voice: "Although the skin of the bristle pig is not warm enough, the burrs on its body are very useful and can be collected Make needles and sell them."

Having said that, he paused, looked around vigilantly, then lowered his voice, and said more cautiously: "You have to save the leather later, or you will lose money, there are so many burrs on it, if you do all of them Make a needle, put it in the trade fair, maybe you can get a lot of salt!"

Gu Jia listened, and suddenly felt that Ah Qiu looked timid, but he had a lot of eyes, and he was very good at calculating.So he thought for a while and said, "Then just keep it, but I don't know how to do needles."

"It's okay, I will, I... I can help you!" As long as you give me some food.Aqiu didn't dare to say the last sentence, but Gu Jia understood what he meant because of the earnest look in his eyes.

Gu Jia smiled, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Ah Qiu's idea.If he really asked Ah Qiu to help, he would definitely give him some food as a reward.

But when he looked at those dense burrs, he felt dizzy for a while.Although he really doesn't know how to make needles, he has always been smart and has strong hands-on ability. He can learn this kind of thing just by looking at it.It's just that he really finds it troublesome. There are so many burrs, how much work will it take to make them all into needles?

Just looking at Ah Qiu's fiery eyes, he still didn't refuse.Ah Qiu guessed that his life was really bad, so now that he had a way to earn "meat", he didn't want to give up.

Bai Yuan quickly peeled the skin, and then he folded the completely peeled skin aside, then turned to Gu Jia and asked, "How do you want to divide it?"

After all, the prey belonged to Gu Jia. Even if Gu Jia was willing to share half of them, according to the usual practice, Gu Jia had the right to pick the best part first.

Gu Jia didn't rush to answer, but walked over to check.What surprised him was that the bristle pig had two layers of skin, and after Bai Yuan peeled off one layer, there was still a layer of skin.However, this layer of skin is obviously much softer than the first layer.

He glanced at the bristle pig's head. After skinning, the hideous pig's head became much more pleasing to the eye. Whether it was the two big ears or the long nose, it looked very attractive.

So he said: "I want the pig's head and four legs. Let's talk about the rest first."

Bristle pigs are not as strong as the domestic pigs they feed, with thick and powerful legs. Gu Jia thought, they must be particularly chewy.Since Bai Yuan asked him to choose, he naturally kept the good things for himself.

However, as soon as he spoke, the faces of the others changed again, and they looked at Gu Jia with a taste of "is this person stupid?"

Even Aqiu tugged on Gu Jia's sleeve nervously, and said in a low voice, "Don't be like this, since the head and legs don't have much meat, no one will want them at all!"

Bai Yuan also said: "That's right, basically no one wants the head and legs, you can keep them if you want, but these can't be counted in that half."

As soon as he said this, no one objected at all.Although they did help, splitting half of it was enough to take advantage of Gu Jia, so how could they bully him anymore?

But they still couldn't help but take a deep look at Gu Jia, and began to guess in their hearts, thinking that Gu Jia might have come from a big tribe, and they might have lived the kind of days when they only opened their mouths and stretched out their hands. , do not understand food distribution at all.

Gu Jia didn't feel that he had suffered a disadvantage at all, but seeing that other people agreed with Bai Yuan's words, he didn't bother to argue.

At this moment, after Bai Yuan cut off the bristle pig's head and limbs, he disemboweled it, took out the internal organs, and put them aside.Things like the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys were carefully placed on the corner of the table, and things like stomach and intestines that smelled bad were thrown aside in disgust.

Afterwards, he took off the large piece of suet attached to his stomach and put it aside, then said to Gu Jia: "The meat on the bristle pig, here, here, and here tastes the best. Why don't you share it with you? We can divide the rest among ourselves."

Thinking of Gujia's status as a sorcerer apprentice, Bai Yuan gave him a lot of face, and confessed directly, without hiding anything.Gu Jia saw it and saw that the middle-aged man beside him frowned in dissatisfaction after hearing this, so he guessed that Bai Yuan was not lying, and it could even be said that he was a bit too frank.

So he simply pointed to the liver and the pile of suet that were put aside, then pointed to the sliced ​​pork, and said, "I want liver and oil, and the pork will be divided in half, and the rest will be given to you."

Such a division is more acceptable to others than what Bai Yuan said.Bai Yuan wanted to say something more, but after glancing at the middle-aged man beside him, he had to swallow the words again, and began to divide according to Gu Jia's suggestion.

This time he took a stone ax and quickly split the pork in half, including the skin and bones.After the division, he asked Gu Jia: "Do you need to cut this half?"

He was willing to help, so Gu Jia naturally asked for it, and directly told Bai Yuan how to divide it, and asked Bai Yuan to divide the half-mountain pork into meat pieces with skin and bones—similar to the ones sold in the market.

After Bai Yuan divided them, he was afraid that Gu Jia and A Qiu would not be able to take them back, so he specially asked two orcs to help them.There was no need for Gu Jia and A Qiu to do anything, the two orcs helped them get all the pork.

When leaving, Gu Jia suddenly saw some people not far away watching.Those people are either disabled, or older, or some thin teenagers or children. To sum it up, they are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

At this time, the old, weak, sick and disabled were all looking at the direction of the desk eagerly, with some kind of longing and anxiety in their eyes.

Gu Jia couldn't help asking: "What's going on with those people?"

Aqiu took a quick look, and explained in a low voice: "They are all old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe. They can't hunt by themselves, so they can only stay here and pick up what others don't want."

What he didn't say was that he was actually one of them before, and he ran out to hunt today in a fit of anger, and almost died in the end.Thinking of this, he took a quick look at Gu Jia and Long Ting, if it weren't for them, he would probably be dead by now.

But now, not only did he not die, but his luck changed, and he no longer had to pick up unwanted legs or intestines like those people.Stomach and intestines smell bad, and there is no meat on the legs. Unless it is winter when there is a shortage of food, those orcs will not want it, which makes it easier for the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe.

It's just that once winter comes, because of the lack of food, the orcs will become extra stingy, not to mention the smelly and unpleasant intestines, even the fish in the river, the orcs can still eat them.

At that time, those old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe who were not taken care of by the orcs would be fine if they could catch fish, otherwise they would have to starve to death.

Aqiu felt a little desperate when he thought of this. What made him even more desperate was that his parents died last year, and the orc who helped him through the terrible winter had left the tribe and went to the witch palace. will be back.

He couldn't help but glanced at Gu Jia and Long Ting again, feeling heavy in his heart—although Gu Jia was an apprentice sorcerer, he still had cubs to take care of, and he might not have much food to share with him in winter.

As he thought about it, his head gradually drooped, and there was a burst of despair in his heart—he might not survive this winter.

By the time Gu Jia realized something was wrong, Aqiu had already fallen far behind, with his head lowered and his whole body exuding an aura of despair.

Gu Jia couldn't help being surprised—what happened to this man?

He suddenly discovered that the people in this place seemed to be sad at every turn, and they were too sensitive, they didn't look like men at all!

Just then, Ah Qiu's home arrived.Gu Jia looked up at the so-called "big house", and was dumbfounded.
