With no outsiders around, Zhu Yuanyuan's thoughts were almost etched on his face, without any intention of hiding it.
Shiraishi was not surprised and whispered with a smile, "Animal herds have fixed movement trajectories. As long as they are not aware of danger, they will not leave easily."
"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Let's be careful and follow the sheep to see where they rest."
Just track the sheep's nest and go directly to catch the sheep when you come back.
Speaking of which, what happened to the pregnant ewes and lambs that Master asked the hunting team to catch some time ago? Her sheep pen was all ready, but she couldn't wait for the sheep to enter the pen.
Otherwise, go back and catch a few of them yourself?
It doesn't matter even if you can't catch the pregnant ones. If you catch two males and two females each, and tame them well, they will naturally have cubs when they are due.
Zhu Yuanyuan made a plan in her mind and discussed with Bai Shi, "When I go back to the tribe, I will not kill other animals, but just catch a few live sheep. I want to try raising them in captivity. If it works, I can eat fresh meat during the snow season in the future."
Although frozen meat tastes good, eating it without fresh meat for several months will inevitably lead to disappointment.
"Okay," Shiraishi said without hesitation, "but why raise sheep? Rabbits and pheasants may be easier to raise."
Zhu Yuanyuan grinned and said, "Because I want goat milk to make a lot of delicious things."
Shiraishi, "..." The reason is real and powerful.
After walking for more than two hours, Zhu Yuanyuan began to inquire, "How long will it take to reach the cave where I will stay tonight?"
"It's almost there," Shiraishi smiled. "With our current pace, we can walk in another hour or so."
"What, it will take another hour," Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "No place closer?"
"Yes, yes, but the nearest cave is too small, so I can't lie down and sleep. I can only sit against the mountain wall. It's very uncomfortable to stay in there all night," Shiraishi said truthfully.
Zhu Yuanyuan was stunned, "Can't two people live together?"
How small it is!
"Yes," Shiraishi nodded in affirmation, "They were dug out temporarily to hide from the rain. There are many, but not very big."
Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly realized, "So it was you who dug it. I just said that no animal can dig such a small cave to make a nest. It is a waste of effort. By the way, can you sleep if you live alone?"
She had to lie down to rest at night, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep.
Baishi was silent for a few seconds and nodded, "Yes, but it's very dangerous. I don't worry about it."
"That's it~" Zhu Yuanyuan tugged at her hair in distress, "But my feet are sore and I don't want to leave."
In fact, she was only a little tired. She was exaggerating. Whether it was tribal migration or hunting in the mountains, the amount of exercise was not low. Although the number of participations was small, the usual exercise was not missed. Walking for several hours was not considered tiring at all.
The reason why I say this is just to act coquettishly and see someone's reaction.
Fortunately, Shiraishi is not a straight man. After hearing this, he immediately said, "You turn into an animal shape and sit in a bamboo basket, and I carry you on my back?"
"No," Zhu Yuanyuan shook her head, "It's hard to talk to you in my beast form."
After transforming into an animal form, he speaks his own animal language. Although it does not hinder communication, he still feels a bit awkward when he hums.
Shiraishi thought for a while, "Then I turn into a beast and fly on your back?"
Zhu Yuanyuan was puzzled, "You can't just carry it on your back, but you have to turn it into an animal shape?"
The strong tribal warrior could carry a weak woman like her, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, for several hours without any problem, but he was stuck in the beast form.
"So you like to carry it in human form," Shiraishi suddenly realized, "Okay, we don't use animal form."
After saying that, he walked to Zhu Yuanyuan and squatted down.
The roots of Zhu Yuanyuan's ears turned slightly red. She bit her lip and lay on the broad back. She put her arms around the person's neck and then whispered, "I'm ready, let's go!"
I secretly despised myself, it was just memorizing it, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
"Ahem," Zhu Yuanyuan cleared her throat, looking for something to say, "Don't worry, I won't make you carry it for too long. I'll come down and walk when my feet are no longer sore."
Bai Shi chuckled and said, "It's okay. I won't be tired of carrying you. I can take you directly to the cave where you will stay tonight. Hurry up..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he accelerated and ran forward, bringing with him gusts of breeze.
Zhu Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought, it felt really good to be carried like this by Brother Baishi, and she would do it again if there was a chance in the future. As she thought about it, sleepiness came over her, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
A cheerful little purr sounded, causing Shiraishi, who was concentrating on his way, to smile brightly and murmur in a low voice, "Yuanyuan, my little female."
When Zhu Yuanyuan opened her eyes, she saw the cave roof illuminated by dim firelight. The fragrant smell of roast chicken lingered on the tip of her nose, making her mouth water and she subconsciously covered her stomach.
"So hungry——"
I want roasted chicken, um, roasted rabbit too, and the smell of chicken soup?
Emma, today’s dinner is quite rich.
"Yuanyuan is awake?" Baishi, who was sitting by the fire, turned around and smiled, "Come and eat some barbecue."
Zhu Yuanyuan got up on her hands and knees, "Come here."
A moment later, she was holding a roasted chicken leg in her left hand and a roasted rabbit leg in her right hand. She was so happy that she seemed to be taking precautions all over.
It's nice to have a boyfriend who is versatile and considerate.
"By the way," Zhu Yuanyuan took a few glances outside the cave. It was dark, "I actually slept until the sun went down?"
Shiraishi shook his head, "No, this cave is very hidden. It's a cave within a cave. The entrance to the big cave outside is covered by vines. It's hard to find if you haven't been there before. There's no need to worry about safety."
It has a natural vine door, which is not easy to find. The inner door is blocked with big rocks before going to bed, making it especially safe at night.
"It's pretty good," Zhu Yuanyuan looked around and said happily, "It's really big. You won't feel bored even if you block the stone gate."
"Yes," Shiraishi filled a bowl of fragrant pheasant soup and handed it out, "come and have some soup, you will get tired of just eating barbecue."
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded, "Okay, just put it in front of me."
She now has both hands free, no bowl, and it is difficult to put down the chicken legs and rabbit legs.
Shiraishi did not put down the words, but said, "Shall I give you a drink?"
"Uh~" Zhu Yuanyuan almost choked on the meat in her mouth. She coughed several times before she returned to normal. There were still physiological tears in her eyes, "Okay."
There are only two of them present. What's wrong with Future Companion giving me a few mouthfuls of soup?
She wouldn't say no just because she was shy.
Bai Shi smiled and brought the chicken soup in his hand to Zhu Yuanyuan's mouth, and warned, "Be careful because it's hot."
"I know," Zhu Yuanyuan took a few sips, "I'm not a cub. I can take care of myself and not get burned by the soup."
This guy takes care of his future companion as if he were taking care of a cub, which makes the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them disappear a lot and adds a bit of ambivalence.
"Yes, yes, we are very good at Yuanyuan," Shiraishi coaxed softly, "I'll put the chicken soup here first. Just squeak if you want to drink."
Zhu Yuanyuan, "squeak——"
Shiraishi was amused and laughed, "Why are you still acting like a cub?"
If his little face hadn't grown so big and there wasn't the baby fat from when he was a cub, he would have wanted to reach out and pinch it.
E~ Actually, you should be able to pinch it now.
Action is worse than excitement.
"Ouch——" Zhu Yuanyuan cried out in pain and asked fiercely, "Why are you pinching me?"
Although she didn't use much force, she still felt pain.
