Chapter 90: Blue Star
Hui’s ability to eat spicy food has gradually improved.
At this moment, it was eating roasted fish balls, turned its head and saw Su Ran constantly “si ha si ha” eating her spicy grilled fish balls with a satisfied look on her face, and its green eyes gradually showed a greedy expression.
“Ran Ran, Hui wants!”
It raised its hand and grabbed Su Ran’s wrist; the string of spicy grilled fish balls in Su Ran’s hand already only had three left.
Su Ran was stunned and followed its gaze to the fish balls in her hand, blinking her eyes.
Then she looked at Hui somewhat troubled: “This is too spicy; you can’t eat it.”
After thinking about it, she put down the fish balls in her hand and picked one out from those plain roasted fish balls.
Then she brought over the bowl of chili oil that had melted when grilling the spicy fish balls earlier, tore off a small piece of thick lettuce leaf, dipped the leaf in the chili oil and smeared a little on the plain fish ball, and used chopsticks to place it in front of Hui.
“Eat this; it won’t be too spicy.”
The amount of chili oil she put on was at a level that Hui’s current spicy food tolerance could accept.
Who knew that Hui lowered its head to look at the fish ball in its wooden tray, but slightly frowned, showing an unwilling expression on its face:
“No no, this chili oil is too little; Hui wants this.”
It pointed at the spicy fish balls in front of Su Ran, looking insistent.
Just like a child seeing something novel and having to try it.
In the end, it actually wasn’t craving the spicy grilled fish balls; it was more curiosity about the taste of fish balls with so much chili!
No way around it; Su Ran had to pick one of the remaining three spicy grilled fish balls and place it in the wooden tray in front of Hui.
“Here, it’s spicy~”
She retracted her chopsticks and naturally instructed.
However, before her words had even finished, that spicy grilled fish ball had already fallen into Hui’s mouth.
Su Ran sat beside watching Hui chew the fish ball with a satisfied face, sighed, silently took a wooden bowl, scooped a large bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Hui.
Then she took two small peach fruits from the fruit tray and put them over.
Then she silently waited…
A few seconds later, only heard “Awoo!!”
The werewolf sitting next to Su Ran suddenly knelt down entirely!
It knelt straight! Hands supporting the table, face anxiously looking left and right! When it saw the fish soup in front of it, it grabbed that large bowl, not caring if the fish soup was still hot, and brought it straight to its mouth.
A few seconds later, one bowl of fish soup went down.
Hui slowly sat back from the kneeling position, panting heavily, turned its head aggrievedly to look at Su Ran: “Ran Ran, mouth woo…”
Su Ran: Heh…
This one fish ball’s harm wasn’t just to Hui’s mouth; the next morning it also harmed its butt.
When the next morning Su Ran was still immersed in sleep, she was suddenly pushed awake by Hui.
Then early in the morning, she saw this beastman who was always handsome and dashing, majestic and tall every moment, bowing its waist, one hand covering its butt, looking aggrieved as it said to her: “Butt, Hui hurts…”
The power of spicy grilled fish balls is still quite strong…
Of course, this was something that happened the next day.
At this moment, Hui drank a bowl of fish soup, and the spiciness in its mouth was suppressed a little, but not long after, that painful spicy feeling surged back up again.
In the end, that plate of wild fruits and thick lettuce leaves originally prepared for Xiao San and her siblings and Bai Bai and the other beastmen to eat both meat and veggies, most of it ended up in Hui’s belly.
Su Ran slowly took a sip of fish soup, watching Hui stuff the last piece of thick lettuce leaf in its hand into its mouth.
This tasteless thick lettuce leaf, normally it wouldn’t even touch it.
After seeing Hui swallow the lettuce leaf in its mouth, Su Ran grinned mischievously and held the specially saved last spicy grilled fish ball in front of Hui:
“Hui, there’s one more; do you still want to eat it?”
Hui was currently mouth open, “si ha si ha” rapidly panting, while holding a bowl in its hand, scooping fish soup.
Suddenly a fish ball covered in bright red chili appeared in front of it; it was stunned for a second, then immediately shook its head vigorously:
“No!”
This meal, except for Hui who actively went to meet the spicy grilled fish ball attack, every other beastman ate very happily and satisfactorily.
Xiao Ju and A Jin go without saying!
Tonight’s roast meat they two hardly touched at all, because almost all the grilled fish and fish balls went into their two bellies.
When eating happily, Xiao Ju with her little pink lips shiny with food oil, “mi wu mi wu” wanted to give Su Ran a loving lick and kiss, scaring Su Ran to quickly dodge to Hui’s other side.
While Yao Yao and Qing Yu, A Huo and the others preferred roast meat a bit more.
Of course, they especially loved beggars’ chicken meat.
Unfortunately, wild chickens are too small; even though Su Ran put several wild chickens on one tray ahead of time and tore them open so every beastman could eat some, each beastman only got a little.
Yao Yao and A Huo especially loved this grilled chicken flavor.
After they two finished the chicken meat, they didn’t rush to eat other roast meat.
Instead, they scrambled to eat clean all the fruits and green soap fruit pieces stuffed in the grilled chicken belly, then only reluctantly picked up roasted white-headed sheep mutton and red-skinned pork to eat.
A whole table of roast meat, fish soup, and wild fruit, after one person and nine beastmen’s storm-like devouring, was cleaned spotless.
By the end, the table only had one roasted green soap fruit left, which Qing Yu and A Feng shared.
After finishing dinner, Su Ran didn’t rush back.
She wanted to make a bit more stone bricks while the sky wasn’t dark yet.
At this moment, Xiao Ju and the others had already gone back.
The beastmen rest very early every night; Su Ran felt that even living with her, Hui’s rest time had been shortened by her influence.
Before Xiao Ju, Yao Yao, and the other beastmen left, they had already helped wash all the tableware clean.
Su Ran stacked these tableware one by one, put them into the backpack for tableware, then covered a winnowing basket on top of the backpack.
The tableware would be placed here on the gravel beach with the table at night, covered with a winnowing basket to prevent dust from falling in.
After doing these, Su Ran moved a stone of similar size to the river beach, sat on the ground, took the tools, and began continuing to make stone bricks.
At this time, Hui who had already helped make stone bricks for a day, gone out hunting, and helped cook upon return, was a bit unwilling to move.
It sat next to Su Ran, lazily yawned, then leaned against Su Ran and lay directly on the ground.
The sky above had a grayish-blue tone, and the light around had also dimmed.
Su Ran was focused on making stone bricks, the werewolf beside quietly lying; just when she thought Hui had fallen asleep, its sleepy and muddled voice suddenly came to her ear:
“Ran Ran… stars, stars!”
“Mm, stars.”
Su Ran kept her head down, casually agreeing.
She had previously taught Hui that the shiny things in the sky at night are called stars.
After her words fell, two seconds later, Hui moved its body, its tail under it swished, and its voice seemed a bit more awake than before: “Stars, blue… blue stars.”
Su Ran continued nodding: “Mm, blue…”
She was stunned!
Doubtfully turned her head to look at the werewolf lying beside her.
Hui had hands pillowed behind its head, a pair of light green eyes calmly looking at the sky above, looking in a good mood.
But Su Ran because of its one sentence, her heart started thumping.
Blue stars?
How could there be blue stars in the world?
She slowly raised her head, following the werewolf’s gaze to the sky.
The next second, her eyes instantly widened!
Blue stars…
There really are blue stars!
But why does this star look so familiar!
