Chapter 31: Seafood Feast, Drooling

  The original humans were a bit sensitive, Chu Yan felt that the short and thin man was eyeing Mo Yi'er, so he didn't let him get close to Mo Yi'er easily. The short and thin man also sensed Chu Yan's guard, he smiled at Chu Yan with a split mouth, then asked him: "Chu Yan leader, is Mo Yi'er your woman?"

  Chu Yu didn't know how to respond, so he just remained silent. In his heart, he had already considered Mo Yi as his own woman, but Mo Yi hadn't acknowledged him yet, which made him feel very depressed. What's more, the men from the Hai Mu tribe could all see that Mo Yi was a grown woman, why? Why did he think Mo Yi wasn't a grown woman back then? Alas, if only he had fought a decisive battle with Fan Ge back then and settled things once and for all.

  "Chu Huo leader, if Mo Yi'er hasn't found a man yet, our tribe's men also have the right to pursue her, you know that, we are all part of the same tribal alliance! As long as Mo Yi'er is willing to follow me, she can come to our Hai Mu tribe!" The short and thin man said with a smile, he could see that Chu Huo liked Mo Yi'er, and also saw that they hadn't established a relationship yet. The short and thin man was probably around 25 or 26 years old, had been with several women before, so he immediately noticed that Mo Yi'er was a grown woman. More accurately, he was quite sensitive to the feminine aura of women. In the Kan tribe, there wasn't anyone with this kind of sensitivity, but in the Hai Mu tribe, there were about three or five people like him. This sensitive sense of smell played a very important role in the Hai Mu tribe, otherwise, relying on their weak bodies and only knowing how to fish and dry salt, they would have been killed by the stone knives of other stronger tribes long ago.

  "Yes, I know we are from the same tribal alliance, that's why I'm being friendly to you, but that doesn't mean I'll let go of my beloved woman." Chu Huo said calmly, as a leader, even if he had a huge fire burning inside him, he wouldn't easily show it. But he also made one thing clear in his mind, the previous proposal by Hai Sen about exchanging brides was also related to this short and thin man.

  "Alright, I'll leave first, remember to tell Mo Yi that I've been here!" The short and thin man said as he left, leaving Chu Yan with a gloomy face and a very unpleasant mood. Coincidentally, at this time, the little fluffball ran back from afar, just like yesterday, with a mountain chicken in its mouth. This made Chu Yan intentionally forget his recent displeasure, and he became more and more suspicious of the little fluffball. This little guy had never eaten anything when they were together, but would leave for a period of time every day, could it be that it was going to hunt for food? This mountain chicken may look small, but it's very fast and can fly, even if he wanted to catch one, it wouldn't be easy.

  Chu Ge blocked the entrance of the leaf shed, and many short and thin men were helping Mo Yi'er move things back from the seaside. The little furball couldn't enter smoothly, so it bared its sharp teeth and let out two cries of "Aowu~ Aowu~". Although the teeth were small, they gleamed with a cold light. Chu Ge was an experienced hunter, and he could see that the little furball's teeth were even sharper than those of a wild wolf.

  "What exactly are you?" Chu Yan stared at the little furball, his eyes unblinking, as if trying to see the answer.

  The little furball raised his extremely cute little head, as if he hadn't heard Chu Yan's question at all, and was arrogant to the extreme.

  Chu Yan shook his head and smiled wryly: "Forget it, whatever you are, as long as you don't harm Mo Yier, that's fine. If you can even help her relieve her boredom, that would be good too." After speaking, Chu Yan opened the door of Ye Peng's room to let Xiao Rong enter, while he himself moved all of Mo Yier's belongings back into Ye Peng's room.

  When I went in, I found that Xiao Rong was using her two paws to peel off the black pearl, with a very fond expression.

  "Wow, it was the crab I caught and the scallop I found. We can have a seafood feast tonight!" Mo Yier stroked the small plush ball that shared her fondness for the black pearl... or rather, the only animal besides herself that did.

  "These are all hard, how can I eat them?" Chu Yan returned to his usual attitude towards Mo Yi'er, making Mo Yi'er feel a little pampered.

  "Chu Wei, aren't you angry with me anymore?" she asked hastily.

  Chu Yan smiled faintly: "I've never been angry with you, maybe I'm angry at myself for not being able to get you. But just now I realized that as long as I relax a little, you might be taken away by others, so from now on I'll have to work harder."

  Mo Yu'er listened dazedly, anyway he was saying that as long as he didn't get angry with himself, it would be fine, what's the point of caring about other things? "Hehe..."

  "Alright, tell me how we're supposed to eat these and we'll have them for dinner?"

  "Yes, scallops are best roasted, and crabs, well, those eight-legged monsters are best boiled. Mo Yier's mouth began to water at the thought, and if they added some spicy roots and vinegar, it would be even better."

  "Alright, I'll start a bonfire right away. By the way, just now the people from the Haimu tribe said they want you to teach them how to eat this thing!"

  "Alright, you start the bonfire, I'll go tell the women." Mo Yi'er walked towards a woman's hut that she was more familiar with, and didn't go find the short and thin man. The method of cooking and eating were very simple, once the clams were cooked they would open their mouths by themselves, and for the crabs, as long as you opened the shell inside was delicious and tender meat. Mo Yi'er chose two smaller ones to roast as a demonstration, and tasted them on the spot. Wow, the flavor was extremely good, and just like that she became the first person to eat crab.

  It was just one and couldn't satisfy her, after teaching the women, she immediately returned to her own leaf shed. The bonfire had been lit, waiting for Mo Yi'er to return.

  Mo Yu'er roasted the clams on a bonfire, while another fire was used to cook the crabs. About half an hour later, they sat down to eat. The crabs were big and fat, with fragrant crab roe that made everyone exclaim in amazement. Ba Jin was particularly excited, eating and expressing his emotions at the same time: "Mo Yu'er, this is too delicious! It's a bit like the taste of bird egg yolks, but it's even more... even more flavorful!"

  "You must be talking about freshness! The fish, shrimp and crab in the sea are famous for their freshness. If we can find scallions, ginger and garlic to cook with, the flavor will be even more incredible." After saying that, Mo Yier let out a satisfied burp, she was too full and couldn't eat anymore.

  "What does scallion, ginger and garlic look like? Tell us so we can find them when we go hunting." Ba Jin had already heard Mo Yi'er mention scallion, ginger and garlic several times before, it must be a very delicious thing.

  "Scallions, ginger and garlic are..." Mo Yier explained to Chu Yan and Ba Jin, drawing the shapes of scallions, ginger and garlic on the sandy ground, hoping they could find their way back. From then on, even if someone in the tribe caught a cold, as long as they had some ginger soup, they would recover quickly.
