Stone Age Husband Raising Journal Chapter 108 - One-Eyed Wolf

Chapter 108 – One-Eyed Wolf

After the Big Bear Tribe’s salt team left the tribe, they traveled very quickly.
It was now early spring, and the snow on the mountain had melted, gathering into a stream that slowly flowed down from the top of the mountain. The wet soil was sticky, causing people to leave footprints with every step.
Many dinosaurs would lower their body temperature and hide during winter. At this time, they all started coming out again, gnawing at the branches to start fattening themselves up again.
After seeing those thin dinosaurs, Xiong Ye felt that he had really been too comfortable during this past winter––winter had gone by, but not only had he not gotten thinner, he had actually grown fatter!
This was something that had never happened to him before.
And Zhou Ji had a lot to do with it all––if Zhou Ji hadn’t taught them how to grow barley and earth eggs, their tribe probably wouldn’t have had enough to eat even if they were able to obtain a lot of meat.
They didn’t want to waste too much time traveling, so they pushed on all day long and only stopped in the evening to set up camp and prepare food.
On the first night, they stopped not far from the tribe.
Xiong Qi, who had come out with Xiong Ye to trade for salt, came over to Zhou Ji’s side when they stopped traveling for the day, “Zhou Ji, is there anything I can help you with?”
Since Xiong Qi had taken the initiative to offer to help, Zhou Ji didn’t refuse. He had him help wash the vegetables and fetch water.
After that, there were also others, who had gone to trade for salt with Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji last time, who scurried off to get firewood for Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji accepted it all, and even had these people build a fire and set up a shed for him to sleep in.
During the day, Zhou Ji hadn’t done anything and simply stayed on Xiong Ye’s back. Now, he was like this… He really lived up to his name as the Beast God’s messenger. He was so different from everyone else!
Zhou Ji knew that various aspects of his behavior would make people jealous and was just thinking about whether or not he should reign it in a bit when he discovered that everyone was looking at him with worshipful gazes. He also heard the conversation between these people using his spiritual powers, “The Beast God’s messenger really is different from us.”
“That lord looks so distinguished!”
“I heard that he was someone who could communicate with the Beast God. I want to serve him, too.”
“Would I also be blessed by the Beast God if I get close to him?”
……
Zhou Ji: “……” The life of a fraud was very good in this era.
Zhou Ji was even thinking about whether or not he should simply pretend to be a god.
The Beach Tribe had a Sea God. Could he use his plant abilities to pretend to be an Earth God or something?
Zhou Ji thought about it and soon gave up on the idea.
However, he had taken advantage of times when Xiong Ye wasn’t paying attention to secretly produce some extra food. Because of this, the seasonings he had on hand now were still just as plentiful as when winter started.
It was still quite cold to travel during this kind of weather. Zhou Ji thought about it and decided to make hot pot. He even made two pots in one go.
One was for him and Xiong Ye. The other was for everyone else… One hot pot for one hundred people was stretching it a little, but if they split it up, everyone should still be able to eat a piece of meat and taste the soup.
Zhou Ji thought about it like this, but he didn’t realize that this way they would feel even more incomplete and crave it more after having a single taste.
Before, when they only had roasted meat, they didn’t feel like roasted meat didn’t taste good. However, after eating chili pepper cooked meat, they felt that roasted meat was a bit difficult to swallow down.
Those people from the Green Hill Tribe who had joined the tribe towards the end were even more tearful.
They had heard about hot pot for a long time, but they hadn’t been able to try it at all until now because the tribe was short on chili peppers.
It was really delicious!
How could there be such delicious food in this world!
They now understood why Xiong Qi and the others were so attentive. Given that there were such delicious things to eat, they wanted to help out, too!
Can’t you see that Xiong Qi and the others had helped out, and therefore had obtained an extra piece of meat that was about the size of a fist that had been cooked in Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji’s hot pot?
Once they were away from home, everyone became especially eager for delicious food, to the point where after Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji had eaten enough, the hot pot soup that they had left behind was immediately split up amongst everyone else.
Night came, and Zhou Ji went back to the tent to sleep quite early. On the other hand, Xiong Ye was busy for a long time arranging night guards, and only after that did he slip quietly into Zhou Ji’s tent to be cuddled by Zhou Ji.
The two of them snuggled up to each other in the small space, warming each other up.
Everyone traveled quite quickly, but it still took them over ten days of travel before they reached the place that had originally belonged to the Green Hill Tribe.
Winter had come and gone, but there hadn’t been much change here, and everything was still a mess.
They all rested there overnight then moved on.
They would have to walk on for at least another half a month before they reached their destination.
The trek over the previous ten days had been quite easy for them, but the next half a month’s journey wouldn’t be as smooth. The reason for that was that it began to rain.
It was a light rain, but it went on and on, drizzling non stop, bringing them no small amount of trouble. Xiong Ye was worried that Zhou Ji would get sick, so he had turned into his animal form and finally found a relatively drier place to rest, covering Zhou Ji with a few animal hides before holding him to sleep.
Zhou Ji was quite unaccustomed to sleeping without Xiong Ye in his arms… But sleeping with the big bear was also very comfortable.
Unfortunately, there were too many people in the team. The two of them could hold hands, but they couldn’t do anything else.
Zhou Ji realized that he had started losing his moral integrity ever since he came to this world…
Zhu Zhan felt a little depressed.
The mood between Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji was too good. He was faced with these two people who were very much in love every day, and really missed his own woman.
He also didn’t know how his woman was doing…
Zhu Zhan was constantly thinking about returning back to the Beastman Continent, but he had been unable to make the boat that Zhou Ji had spoken about, and couldn’t go back yet. He also wasn’t strong enough yet, either…
When he thought of this, Zhu Zhan looked towards Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji again. Seeing that the two of them were cuddling each other to sleep, he inevitably felt rather lonely.
Also, he used to feel that Zhou Ji didn’t treat Xiong Ye well… He had really thought too much.
If Zhou Ji didn’t like Xiong Ye, he probably wouldn’t be so intimate with Xiong Ye, right?
The light rain continued on for three days, finally stopping by the fourth day. The long-lost sun hung in the air, casting down its bright rays of light.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Xiong Ye had made a stop by a small river very early in the day, preparing to have everyone settle in early so that they could all spend some time relaxing and eat some good food––it had been raining constantly, and the food they had eaten had been very basic.
Zhou Ji was also very supportive of this idea. After everyone settled in, he immediately cooked a large pot of healing herbs, then told everyone in the team come over and drink a bowl of medicine.
The people of the salt team: “…..” They hadn’t expected that besides making delicious food, Zhou Ji would be able to make something that tasted this horrible!
What exactly was this? Could it still be eaten despite smelling so bad?
“It’s herbal medicine, something that will help you from getting sick.” Xiong Ye picked up a bowl of herbal medicine and drank it all. “Everyone needs to drink it. Hurry up!”
Xiong Ye had spoken, and he had also taken the lead to drink it down. People no longer rejected the medicine and had bitter expressions on their faces as they went up to drink it one by one.
After that, in a place where nobody else could see, Xiong Ye gave Zhou Ji a pitiful look.
Zhou Ji secretly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.
Xiong Ye became happy instantly. He held a net and went to the riverside, “Zhou Ji, I’ll catch fish for you.”
Xiong Ye ran away very quickly, and Zhou Ji followed behind him, watching as Xiong Ye stood by the river and started catching fish.
During winter, Xiong Ye had caught fish for him in order to change up their daily diet, but because it wasn’t easy to catch fish during winter, they hadn’t caught it often. At this time, Zhou Ji actually missed the taste of fish.
While Xiong Ye was catching fish, Zhou Ji suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction. However, he soon retrieved his gaze and focused on Xiong Ye once again.
It wasn’t long before someone came out of the woods on the other side of the river.
There was a total of seventeen people in the group that stepped out. This team was led by a woman with only one eye. She had only just arrived by the river when she noticed Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye, and then her gaze turned suggestive as she looked them over.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a good looking man in the wild forest, one that likes being clean…” This woman’s gaze then landed on Xiong Ye’s animal hide skirt, “It looks like it comes with a good package, too.”
Zhou Ji’s expression darkened instantly––Xiong Ye was really too attractive…
The thought had just crossed his mind when the woman then looked at him, “You look even more pleasing to the eye than he does, with fine skin and tender flesh.”
Zhou Ji wanted to say something, but Xiong Ye had already stepped up to hide Zhou Ji behind him. He glared at that woman and said, “What are you looking at?”
The woman said, “Looking at men, of course! You two both look pretty good.. Would you like to come with me?”
“No! Please leave!” Xiong Ye response was immediate.
That woman sneered, and her single eye revealed a trace of disdain as she released the aura of her power and said, “If the two of you follow me, I can let the rest of your team off. Otherwise… You should just hand over the things that you guys have brought with you!”
Were they getting robbed? Zhou Ji found it a little amusing––the woman in front of them was about the same level of strength as Xiong Ye. If they were to really start fighting, her power would fall a little short.
Xiong Ye also felt that way.
This person actually wanted to rob them and was even saying these kinds of words…
Xiong Ye directly changed into his animal form and charged across the river––he liked speaking with his fists!
As soon as Xiong Ye’s animal form appeared, the woman standing opposite them had already been given a big shock.
A medium level Beast Warrior could basically walk sideways across the wild forest, and she had thought that it would be a very simple matter to deal with these people. Unexpectedly…
The person she had found attractive and thought was nothing but a pretty face was actually also a medium level Beast Warrior. That was already shocking enough, but this man’s animal form was also so big!
Not to mention that there were still quite a lot of people nearby!
The one-eyed woman knew how to adapt to changing circumstances and immediately planned to escape.
But Xiong Ye had already caught up, and at the same time, Zhu Zhan’s voice sounded out rather hesitantly, “One-Eyed Wolf?”
