There is always something to eat me

Chapter 14 Being Targeted

The so-called big house is a simple shed, the kind of simple house that uses a tree trunk as thick as an arm to build a frame, and then uses stretched leather to make a roof and four walls.

Because it is rough, the bark on the trunk has not been treated, and the excess branches are simply cut off. The bark has become dull black under the erosion of rainwater, and moss has grown in many places. The original color does not come out.

Not only that, but the tree trunks were obviously only tied with leather ropes, and the whole frame was built very simply. In addition to the spliced ​​leather, it is more suitable to call it a tent than a house.

Just at this time, the dark clouds in the sky piled up more and more, the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind blew.Before the rain fell, the wind blew stronger and stronger. It blew on the leather, easily blowing out a huge depression in the wall made of leather.

The entire room also made a scalp-numbing sound of wood rubbing against each other.

"Squeak... squeak..."

Gu Jia looked at the slightly shaking room and suddenly didn't want to go in.This thing is more tofu than tofu, can it really live in people?

But Aqiu didn't know Gu Jia's worries. Seeing him standing at the door and not going in, he said anxiously: "Come in quickly, it's going to rain soon, and you'll get wet if you stand outside!"

Speaking of the word "drenched", Ah Qiu instinctively shivered.Although there are great witches, apprentice sorcerers, and even new sorcerers in their tribe, although witches know how to cure diseases, they can't cure all diseases.

What's more, it costs a lot of money to invite witches to treat illnesses.

Ah Qiu still remembers that he was ignorant when he was a child, and fell ill after being exposed to the rain outside. That time he was very sick. In order to ask the witch to treat him, my father took the risk of hunting big prey, but in the end the prey was caught. , but he was seriously injured, and even though he was healed later, his body was not as good as before.

Ah Qiu always felt that if it wasn't for the serious injury that time, his father and father would definitely not have died early, so he had an instinctive fear of being caught in the rain.

Gu Jia is not afraid of the rain, he has just traveled through time, and he has not experienced the despair of getting sick in the rain and having to survive.It's just that as soon as Ah Qiu finished speaking, big raindrops fell from the sky, splashing bowl-sized splashes on the ground.

This kind of rain is not good for people.Gu Jia had no choice but to resist the panic and went into Aqiu's room.

The two orcs who were in charge of delivering the meat had put down their things and left long ago, leaving only Aqiu, Gu Jia and Long Ting who was guarding the meat—his ice-blue eyes had been tight since the meat was divided. Staring at the meat that belongs to him, for fear of being sneaked away by others.

Gu Jia didn't even bother to take a second look at that petty appearance, it was so embarrassing!

Long Ting didn't feel ashamed at all. As the heavy rain hit the roof with "slaps", he looked up uneasily at the rough roof made of fur, curled his lips in disgust, and couldn't help but walk to the roof. In front of Gu Jia, he said dissatisfiedly: "I'm hungry!"

Right now, why don't you make food?

Gu Jia almost laughed angrily when he heard his righteous tone, now he was worried that the shed would collapse at any moment, how could he have the heart to cook food for Long Ting?

"I'm not free, let's go, don't bother me!" Gu Jia said, planning to take a closer look at the house first.After all, he had to live here for the time being, so he had to be concerned about his future living environment.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "cuckoo" sound, it was still a damn duet!He glanced suspiciously at Long Ting, then at A Qiu who was full of embarrassment, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

However, Ah Qiu felt guilty for a while when Gu Jia looked at him. He couldn't help covering his stomach with his hands, and looked at Gu Jia awkwardly: "I...I..." He opened his mouth, but he was so guilty that he didn't know what to say. What.

Ah Qiu has always felt that he has taken advantage of Gu Jia, and he is always very guilty when facing Gu Jia, and he dare not mention that he is very hungry and wants to eat something.

He always remembered that the food belonged to Gu Jia, and if Gu Jia would give him some, he should be very grateful, how could he ask for it?

Long Ting was not as guilty as Ah Qiu, he was very righteous - he caught the bristle pig himself, Gu Jia didn't ask for his opinion, so he generously gave away more than half of it, and he didn't even get it. Why is he guilty of settling accounts with Gu Jia?

So as soon as he heard Gu Jia's words, Long Ting became dissatisfied. He glared at Gu Jia viciously, and the white teeth exposed in his mouth seemed to be able to tear Gu Jia to pieces at any time. When I saw Jia, I saw him slapping his paws on the ground angrily, and then said in a louder voice than before: "You said you would feed me, now I'm hungry!"

A Qiu, who realized that the scene just now was just a false alarm, looked at Long Ting with complicated eyes: "..." Can you have something to do?

Long Ting pretended that he didn't see anything. Anyway, he never put such a weak non-beastman in his eyes. He just looked at Gu Jia with dissatisfaction. Will not compromise.

Facing such a stupid and cute Long Ting, Gu Jia has nothing to say.He really couldn't figure it out, Long Ting obviously ate so much before, why is he hungry again now?Is this appetite too much?

But now not only Long Ting is very hungry, but Ah Qiu is also standing aside pitifully, he can't continue to ignore him.After all, this house belongs to Ah Qiu, so he can't just sit and watch Ah Qiu's master starving, right?

Speechlessly rolling his eyes in his heart, Gu Jia simply asked, "Where is the kitchen?"

I have to say that in Gu Jia's opinion, Ah Qiu's house is a bit dilapidated, but it is indeed bigger than the other houses he saw along the way.

It seems that the place where they are now is similar to a living room, with a huge wooden pile in the middle as a table, and several small wooden piles around it as stools.

Although the handling is a bit rough, it looks a bit wild.

The three walls of the living room are still connected to other rooms, and the fur curtains hanging are regarded as doors.When Gu Jia asked, Aqiu pointed to the room on the right: "The kitchen is inside, you...do you want to use it now?"

Gu Jia nodded, didn't say much, walked over directly, and opened the curtain to look around.Then Gu Jia frowned.

The fur used to make the curtains is so rough that you can't feel it from a distance, but you can smell the stench of the fur itself if you get in.But he didn't say anything, but concentrated on looking at the extremely simple kitchen in front of him.

This place is really rudimentary, although the table was built with stone slabs, but there is no stove, only a fire pit was dug in the center of the room.The diameter of the fire pit was about half a meter, surrounded by a circle of fist-sized gravel.At this time, the gray residue of burnt wood and bones still remained in the fire pit, and the side of the gravel close to the fire pit also showed scorched black marks, obviously it had been used for a while.

Looking at the fire pit, Gu Jia then looked at the dry firewood and thin wooden sticks piled up next to him, and guessed that Ah Qiu probably had been eating barbecue before.

He didn't know if other people in this bobcat tribe were also like this, but looking at this small fire pit, his face was not very good-as a cook, seeing such a simple kitchen is simply unbearable!

Ah Qiu stood pitifully at the door, keenly aware of Gu Jia's disgust, his face turned pale in an instant.He clutched the leather nervously, hesitated for a long time, and then said nervously: "I... I don't have anything here, let... let you down. You... If you... If you feel dissatisfied, you can... also go……"

He wanted to say "you can go to someone else's place", but when he thought about his situation after Gu Jia left, he couldn't say that.

Although he is timid, he is also selfish.He didn't want Gu Jia to leave at all, in that case, he would probably starve to death.

Gu Jia didn't care about A Qiu's little selfishness, although he was very disappointed to see such a kitchen, but he was new here now, except for A Qiu, he was not sure that he could handle the rest of the Shanmao tribe.

Compared with other people in the Shanmao tribe, Aqiu, who has only one person in the family, is much easier to deal with.

So he waved his hand to stop Aqiu's next words, and asked at the same time: "Is there a pot? No, do you have a stone container here?"

As Gu Jia said, he simply searched in the kitchen by himself.After this search, he really found a large stone plate that had been obviously polished.The inside and outside of the plate have been polished very carefully, and the stone is of good quality. If it is used for cooking or soup, there will never be any stone debris.

It's just that Gu Jia touched the stone plate but couldn't help being curious. The plate was so finely polished that it was a bit out of place with the simple and dilapidated house. He really couldn't imagine what kind of person could be so hard. The stone is polished into such a fine and smooth stone disc?

Seeing Gu Jia looking at the stone plate, Ah Qiu explained: "This stone plate was bought by my father at the trade fair two years ago. There are two in total. Do you want to use it?"

What he didn't say was that this stone plate was specially exchanged by his father and planned to be used as a dowry for him.And the price of the stone plate is already frighteningly expensive for them.

Gu Jia took another careful look at the stone plate, and after confirming that it was solid enough to be used as a stone pot, he put down the stone plate with satisfaction and was ready to do it.

He didn't know that he was already being watched.
