Chapter 27: “gray!”
After sprinkling salt on the mutton, Su Ran also sprinkled a little salt on the internal organs roasting on the branches stuck in the ground below.
Then she poured all the remaining salt into the chewing gum jar she brought, refilled the mug with seawater, placed it over the fire to continue evaporating the salt.
Because there was no sweet leaf vein tree here, no thing to place food on, after finishing these, Su Ran picked two new shorter Y-shaped branches from the firewood she found, and set up a new pair of racks on the side of the campfire to place roast meat, for placing the already roasted mutton.
Then she called the werewolf over to help, lifting the fully cooked roast meat and moving it to the newly set up rack.
“Time to eat!”
Su Ran sat in front of the roast meat, the height of the roast meat rack was just right for her to reach by lifting her hand.
And the werewolf, without her saying anything, after she moved the roast lamb over, had eagerly squatted on the other side of the roast meat, frequently swallowing saliva.
But although already drooling uncontrollably, the werewolf was still very well-behaved.
A pair of wolf eyes with cat-like pupils stared fixedly at Su Ran’s actions, looking like it absolutely wouldn’t touch first without Su Ran’s permission.
It really was very principled~
Su Ran couldn’t help but smile, using the tactical knife to cut a whole roasted white-headed sheep leg and hand it over.
The werewolf opposite her “whoosh” erected its tail, grinned at her emitting two panting laughs, then hugged the roast lamb leg and wolfed it down.
“Ao wu!!”
It ate while emitting excited calls from its mouth, occasionally looking up at Su Ran, the joy in its eyes impossible to hide.
But not to mention the werewolf, just smelling the scent of this salt-cured food, even Su Ran herself was already impatient.
She no longer minded the werewolf, reached out and cut a large piece of meat for herself, and bit down hard!
With one bite, she was moved to the point of nearly having tears in her eyes.
After a week, she finally ate normal food!
And this roast mutton was absolutely a hundred times tastier than the previous few times!
Even though the salt was sprinkled on the mutton later, the salty flavor had fully permeated into the roast meat.
The salty and fragrant roast meat flavor carried a faint sour-sweet taste, and after one bite, a rich fruit fragrance lingered between her lips and teeth.
That was the special fruit fragrance of the red fruit.
For a moment, by the campfire, only two figures could be seen there eating with heads down, the air faintly filled with constant chewing sounds.
But no matter how much she loved eating, Su Ran’s appetite couldn’t match the werewolf’s.
After eating the last bite of meat, she touched her already stuffed round belly and finally stopped.
At this time, although the werewolf was still happily eating with its tail swishing, its tearing and biting actions were no longer as excited as at the beginning, but rather somewhat slow and savoring.
This guy actually knew to learn to enjoy good things!
Su Ran watched the werewolf’s appearance and secretly laughed. A thought struck her, she suddenly realized she hadn’t given the werewolf a name yet, calling it werewolf all the time really didn’t sound good.
She stared at the werewolf’s handsome face appraising it for a long time, thinking of giving it a cool, arrogant, handsome, explosive name, such a handsome face without a novel male lead name like Long Aotian or Si Yehan would simply be a waste!
But she thought for a long time and found that no matter which name she put on the werewolf, it felt weird.
The face was fine, the name was fine, but mainly the werewolf’s temperament.
That primitive wildness paired with these very modern names always felt like two things crossed dimensions to combine, but got stuck halfway.
No no…
Su Ran shook her head, finally reluctantly giving up this naming method.
Too textured wouldn’t do, then how about something simpler?
She looked at the werewolf’s ears on top of its head covered with a layer of light brown short fur, recalling wolf pack videos she had seen before.
If on Earth, a wolf of this color would generally be the big grey wolf often used by people to scare children…
Grey wolf…
Grey?
Su Ran stared at the werewolf slowly eating gourmet food, tentatively called out:
“Grey.”
Hearing Su Ran suddenly make a sound, the werewolf immediately stopped eating, lifted its head, green eyes looking at Su Ran, with an expression of: what did you say?
Su Ran saw the werewolf’s reaction, showed a friendly smile, then said to the werewolf again: “Grey.”
“Wu?”
Now the werewolf realized Su Ran was talking to it.
It slowly put down the roast meat in its hand, the pupils in its eyes starting to frequently contract and dilate again.
Its gaze fixed on Su Ran’s lips, as if waiting for her to speak again.
And Su Ran naturally called out to it again, pointing at the werewolf: “Grey!”
“Wu~~”
Now the werewolf couldn’t sit still at all.
It stood up, quickly came around from the other side of the roast meat rack to Su Ran’s side, squatted beside her, its face almost up to Su Ran’s eyes, lifted a hand pointing at Su Ran’s lips: “Ao wu ao wu wu wu wu” calling a long string of beast language Su Ran couldn’t understand.
Su Ran was amused and helpless, she couldn’t understand!
But she could tell from the werewolf’s eager voice and pointing at her lips that it was expressing: say it again.
So she lifted her hand to point at the werewolf again, but this time she slowed her speaking speed a bit, so the werewolf could see her pronunciation method, and said:
“Grey…”
Then, she pointed back at herself: “Su… Ran…”
Sure enough, seeing her actions, the expression on the werewolf’s face became serious.
Its gaze tightly fixed on Su Ran’s lips, and after Su Ran finished, the werewolf’s pair of green eyes were once again occupied by the enlarged pitch-black pupils.
Its lips moved, hesitantly slowly opening its mouth: “Grey?”
Su Ran’s eyes lit up, excitedly nodding, she didn’t expect her beastman to be so smart!
She quickly pointed at the werewolf again, repeating: “Grey!”
Seeing Su Ran’s affirmative action, the werewolf’s enthusiasm clearly rose, even not eating the roast meat in its hand anymore, both ears erect, gaze tightly on Su Ran: “Grey!”
“Yes yes yes, Grey!”
Su Ran affirmed again.
The werewolf happily grinned, using its finger to point at itself and repeatedly chanting to Su Ran: “Grey… Grey!”
After chanting for a while, it suddenly pointed at itself, then turned to point at Su Ran: “Grey… wu… Grey… wu?”
Su Ran immediately understood the werewolf was asking her name, so she quickly pointed at herself: “Su… Ran…”
“Hu… Ran…”
The werewolf followed her pronunciation, Su Ran repeated: “Su Ran…”
“Wu? Hu… Su, Su Ran…”
