Chapter 134: Accept The Intruding New Member?
That group of beastmen seemed to really plan to settle down here by the bird’s nest tree.
Because while Su Ran was making breakfast, they had already started selecting suitable trees at the edge of the woods, dozens of meters to the right of Su Ran’s house, and building bird’s nests.
Some beastmen also started digging pits on the ground.
Those two beastmen who had passed out were placed on the ground.
While the beastmen were busy building dwellings, no one was taking care of them on the side; they were just left there.
And the bodies of those few dead beastmen were also left unattended.
Instead, Hui first dragged out the flying cattle beastman that had fallen in the rain shelter, and piled it together with the beastmen that had fallen on the river beach side.
It looked like they had to handle it themselves.
When Su Ran saw Hui dragging several beastmen bodies over there, she ran over to stop its action.
Although there were no signs of blood seeping through the bandages on its body after moving those bodies, Su Ran still didn’t dare to take it lightly!
After all, that wound looked so serious; if it were on Earth, it would need stitches!
She pushed Hui back inside the room, strongly telling Hui that it didn’t need to help with breakfast today either.
But Hui naturally refused, so in the end Su Ran arranged for it to stay in front of the stove hole to help with the fire.
For breakfast, Su Ran cooked white bean fruit.
Then she wrapped the nine red birds and white wild chickens from the backpack in mud and threw them into the barbecue grill to roast.
She completely butchered the two four-eared oxen right there on the spot, then carried them to the front of the house in several trips using the backpack.
Hui watched from the side and wanted to come help, but was roared back by the irritable Su Ran.
Probably scared by Su Ran’s apparent real anger, even until mealtime, this silly wolf was still a bit cowering when looking at Su Ran.
Su Ran used the axe to chop the whole small four-eared ox into small pieces, then lit fires in both stoves, blanched the four-eared ox meat and offal in water, stir-fried ingredients in the pot, and directly stewed it all.
And the large four-eared ox was divided into six large pieces, skewered on branches over the barbecue grill, and all made into barbecue.
During this time, Su Ran had Hui go to the settlement side to check who among Xiao Ju, A Jin, and the others weren’t injured, and call them over to help with the roast meat.
The food she was making now wasn’t just for her and Hui; she also wanted to share some with the beastmen in the settlement.
Although there wouldn’t be much left after sharing, there were definitely many injured beastmen in the settlement now, and Su Ran was a bit worried about them.
After all, there were quite a few of these incoming beastmen; what if they launched another attack while the beastmen were recovering?
At least up to now, over an hour after the combat ended, Su Ran still hadn’t seen any beastmen appearing downstream of the distant river beach to handle food, nor any black smoke rising from firewood being lit on the river beach side blocked by the woods.
Su Ran was afraid they wouldn’t eat, and if something happened, they might face danger from hunger!
Moreover, she and Hui couldn’t finish the two four-eared oxen and those wild chickens and red birds in one day; better to send them out directly.
Otherwise, with the current weather, leaving it until tomorrow would definitely spoil it.
The ones who came over with Hui from there were Qing Yu, A Huo, and Yao Yao.
They all had injuries on their bodies too, but they seemed to be just superficial wounds, not too serious.
After the four-eared ox beef was on the grill, Su Ran had Qing Yu and A Huo watch the fires in the stove hole and on the barbecue grill, then went with Yao Yao to the river to catch some more fish.
She planned to grill some more fish for the beastmen; there was space on the barbecue grill to fit them, and she could also simmer some more fish soup for everyone.
As the aroma of roast meat from Su Ran’s side slowly spread out, that group of beastmen building dwellings gradually couldn’t hold back and kept looking over frequently.
This made Su Ran a bit nervous.
But Hui, Qing Yu, and the others seemed not to notice at all, showing no reaction to it.
In that case, Su Ran gradually relaxed again.
The beastmen’s alertness to danger was far higher than hers; since Hui and the others showed no reaction, the situation should be fine.
Thinking this way, Su Ran sped up the cooking.
Of the caught fish, she kept three and used the stone pot from the first time to simmer a big pot of fish soup.
Then the remaining dozen or so fish were all cleaned and made into grilled fish.
Time reached past eight in the morning, and the air was starting to feel warm.
Even the hardest-to-cook roasted four-eared ox beef was done.
Su Ran first let Hui, Qing Yu, Yao Yao, and A Huo eat their fill, and had each of them drink a full large bowl of fish soup, before packing all the food into the backpack and taking it to the settlement by the bird’s nest tree.
However, the stone pot with the fish soup was carried over by A Huo and Qing Yu together.
The situation in the settlement was a bit better than at Su Ran and Hui’s place.
Mainly because the beastmen here had nothing outside their dwellings.
So the dwellings weren’t affected, and the bird’s nests in the trees and pits on the ground were also undamaged.
But there were even more beastmen lying horizontally on the ground here now.
And it was impossible to tell whether these beastmen lying on the ground had passed out or were completely dead!
And there were even more new faces among the beastmen here.
They had also started building their own dwellings around, while the original beastmen living here had an attitude of acquiescence toward this situation.
Su Ran had Hui, A Huo, and the others distribute some of the brought food to the beastmen.
Many beastmen here, under Su Ran’s lead, had already made tools like wooden bowls and food basins.
Although they weren’t used as frequently as Su Ran did when cooking, their usage in daily life was gradually increasing.
Taking this opportunity, Su Ran walked under the bird’s nest tree where she and Hui first lived.
The bird’s nests on the bird’s nest tree had been moved upstream of the river beach; now the tree was empty and bare, surprisingly giving a desolate feeling.
Su Ran shook her head, shaking out the inexplicable thoughts in her mind.
Then she went to check on a few familiar beastmen’s homes.
Only then did she discover that Xiao Ju was badly injured!
Two deep gashes had been clawed into the right side of her ribs below.
Sitting on the arm of Hui that wasn’t injured, as Hui flew her up to Xiao Ju and A Jin’s bird’s nest, she saw Xiao Ju lying on an animal hide blanket, with several wounds covered in a thick layer of chewed yellow mushrooms.
The two wounds looked very frightening, but the medicinal effect of the yellow mushrooms must have worked, as the wounds were no longer bleeding.
And A Jin’s condition was a bit better.
There was an additional blood mark on its face, and a fairly deep wound half a palm long on its arm, also covered with yellow mushrooms; the injury didn’t affect its movement.
At this moment, it was tearing off bits of the grilled fish Su Ran had brought over, feeding them bit by bit into Xiao Ju’s mouth…
