Chapter 75 The Deal with Red
Jiang Luoluo recalled being woken up by pain last night, and then looked at Chi, who was in good spirits and even got up early to hunt in the rain.
"You didn't have any reaction after you ate?" Jiang Luoluo gestured.
Red looked down at the cub, and after a long while, looked up at Brown, "What does she mean?"
Jiang Luoluo: ...How exactly should a mute and a blind person communicate!
"Luo wants to ask you how the rabbit meat you ate last night was." He guessed half right.
"It's delicious!" Akashi immediately praised loudly, but then looked down at the short figure in front of him and whispered, "It's just that the flavor of the 'fire-roasted flower' is a bit too bland. It would be better if you could add more."
Before Jiang Luoluo could even react in shock, Wu's words from that night suddenly flashed through her mind, comparing them to Chi's image—was she the kind of person who ate roasted chili peppers like snacks?
Realizing this, Jiang Luoluo acted before she thought, reaching out to grab Chi's arm, but turned her head to look at He.
Hurry! Help me translate! Jiang Luoluo looked at Brown with bright eyes.
Red was able to dodge the cub's movements, but since it didn't sense any ill intentions from the cub, it let the cub grab its wrist while looking at Brown.
What does she mean?
Brown looked at this and then at that, and inexplicably felt that his future life was no longer peaceful. However, some things could not be explained in a short time, so he had Red, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, come in and sit down first.
Warm yourself by the fire to get rid of the dampness from your body, and then explain slowly.
Brown didn't refuse the two rabbits that Red brought, but before taking them, he casually grabbed a firewood stick and knocked the two rabbits unconscious. He then found two sturdy hemp ropes and hung them on the cave wall.
Meeting the curious gaze of the cubs, Brown explained, "Amphibians are all capable of burrowing. As soon as they land, they will burrow underground and run away, so we have to hang them high up to prevent them from touching the ground. It's easier to knock them unconscious."
"Why not just kill him?" Chi chimed in, not understanding why Brown was making things so complicated.
Brown glanced at Red, "I still have to go to Little Stone Mountain later, where will I find the time to deal with them?"
"Oh, easy, I'll take care of it for you in a bit. Just quickly see what Luo wants to say to me," Chi urged.
Among the tribe's most carefree individuals, Chi was the one who had the most leisure time, as his immense strength meant he never had to worry about food shortages.
Even if she couldn't go hunting with the hunting team often, just wandering around the forests near Silver Peak Mountain, Akane could easily find enough prey without spending much of her time.
Unfortunately, her inability to see clearly limited Chi greatly, forcing her to stay in the tribe and wander around the mountaintop every day, acting as a half-guardian of the shaman and protecting her safety.
That's why, even in the heavy rain last night, brown could still meet red.
Normally, Chi remembers the scents of the tribe members very clearly and can easily distinguish them. However, last night it rained heavily... and He was still wearing such a outfit.
Brown had no choice but to look at the cub and act as an intermediary to convey the cub's message.
"Luo asked you, did you like the rabbit meat from yesterday? Oh, you did."
"And Luo said, do you still want to eat? Oh, yes, you do."
"Luo wanted you to do her a favor in exchange, oh, and you agreed."
Red glared at Brown, "I can speak, I can answer myself!"
Brown had disliked Red more and more from the very beginning, and sure enough, when she saw the cub running to take out the pile of roasted peppers that she had left for a long time, Brown knew that her intuition was right.
It’s over.
One is full of brilliant ideas, the other is lawless; how can things possibly go well when they come together?
"Is it fire flower?" Chi smelled the familiar scent and immediately recognized the blurry little figure in front of him carrying a bunch of red things.
"You mean you want me to eat these firecrackers for you? And then you can make me the same rabbit meat as yesterday?" Chi asked, his face full of doubt.
Why make this exchange? What's the price for letting her eat the fire-flavored flower? Isn't this a reward for her?
"Luo wants you to help her find the least painful Fire Flower." After Mao's explanation, He already knew the cub's plan. Even though he was unwilling to see the two of them colluding, he still spoke up to help explain.
"The least painful kind of firecracker flower? Luo also likes the taste of firecracker flower, you have good taste!" Chi praised, then patted his chest, "No problem, leave this little thing to me!"
In Chi Yan's eyes, Jiang Luoluo probably asked her for help because she was craving the taste of sashimi, but she couldn't eat it herself, so she wanted to find a sashimi that wouldn't hurt to eat.
Although she didn't know if such a fire flower existed, since the cub had said so, Akane decided to help her! At worst, she could go back and help the cub look for one too; she had quite a few fire flowers at home.
Brown quickly left the cave to teach the children on the small rocky hill, leaving Red and Jiang Luoluo in the cave... Brown didn't want the two of them to be alone together.
But brown can't beat red.
Even with his arm intact, he couldn't win.
Jiang Luoluo waved goodbye to He with a smile, assuring He that she would absolutely, absolutely not take advantage of the situation!
Brown left, still feeling uneasy.
However, Chi did not take Jiang Luoluo to do anything she shouldn't have; she just waited obediently for the cub to make her breakfast.
Because Chi had gotten up early to catch rabbits to apologize to He, he hadn't eaten breakfast when he left home. Jiang Luoluo had promised to cook for Chi in exchange for him helping her choose roasted peppers, so she made him breakfast.
Without He's help with translation, Jiang Luoluo could only hold Chi's hands and let her feel her movements, repeatedly expressing herself to communicate with her.
Aside from being a bit troublesome, the communication went fairly smoothly.
Yesterday, Chi ate dried rabbit meat, which needs to be soaked in cold water for a day to soften before eating. Even if she wanted to make it today, she couldn't, so Jiang Luoluo substituted it with ordinary meat.
The chili water that was originally diluted again and again was replaced with a whole stalk of scorched chili pepper—the spiciest one that Chi selected after tasting more than a dozen.
As usual, hot oil was added to stir-fry chili peppers, scallions, and garlic. The intense spiciness of the Sichuan peppercorns immediately spread from the pan, making Jiang Luoluo's eyes water uncontrollably due to the strong spiciness.
Chi quickly pulled the cub away. She hadn't expected the smell to be so intense, but the aroma still made her subconsciously swallow.
This flavor is so good that you don't need any further steps; it's delicious even just by eating it straight away.
However, thinking of the rabbit meat from last night, Akari restrained herself and stood in front of the stone pot in place of the cub, asking, "What's next? Just keep poking at it like this?"
Jiang Luoluo avoided the area with the strongest smell, wiped away her tears, handed the sliced meat to Chi, and nudged Chi's arm, indicating that Chi should pour the meat into the pot.
Chi was not stupid. After this experience, she immediately understood what the cub meant. Then, whatever the cub handed her, she would pour into the stone pot, stirring it as she poured. The aroma of the food became more and more intense.
Chi stopped moving only when the cub tugged at her arm, signaling that it was time to stop.
