When Sang Mi came in with the nourishing soup, Gou Liang was holding back his big move against the motionless favorability.
"Brother Lang Xi, why don't you eat?"
He put down the medicine bowl and looked at Gou Liang with some worry.
Sang Mi was the successor chosen by the old priest after he was heartbroken by the original Host.
Every priest must choose the next priest before entering the aging period, but even in a big tribe like Wall, including Gou Liang and Yue Jing, there were only five females with the power of prayer. The female other than Sang Mi had already contracted, but she was not pregnant yet. Her power of prayer was very weak.
Therefore, the old priest had no choice.
Sang Mi, who had just received the blessing of the Beast God, liked the notorious Gou Liang very much.
Gou Liang felt a little comforted by this. Although the original Host had a cute baby face, in order to successfully play a big cute baby with only a five-year-old mind, Gou Liang spent a total of 1111 points to buy a set of advanced temperament buff props to restore himself to 100% of the pure innocence of a child.
Who would have thought that the target did not buy this at all. The so-called appearance was not enough to make up for temperament. It all became pseudoscience in front of Meng Hao.
Gou Liang saw Sang Mi urging him, so he had to continue to eat the strange beast meat in the bowl. Well, it was even worse when it was cold.
The meals these days were cooked by the old priest because Meng Hao, who was in charge of cooking, had been out hunting for three days.
Lang Xiong, the chieftain, took a team of tribal warriors to hunt half a month ago. They should have turned back two days ago, but they met a small tribe of orcs who were crushed by an avalanche on the road.
The other party asked to surrender to Wall, and the chieftain agreed.
During the avalanche, the Beastmen tried their best to protect their females and cubs. Therefore, the ratio of females and cubs in the tribe was even higher than the adult male Beastmen. There were many injuries and injuries, and even many male Beastmen were injured. The return trip was delayed, and it was later than originally planned.
However, Silver Moon Season's harvest could not be delayed.
In order to protect the gathering team and the tribe, even an orc like Meng Hao, who was marginalized by the tribe, had to take up the responsibility of protecting the tribe. That was why he was saving more food for himself and Meng Hui before his shift.
Although Meng Hao's culinary skills were not very good, it was still barely edible compared to the Old Priest's dark cuisine … The meat of the strange beasts that were cooked and uncooked on the plate was really too horrible to look at.
Gou Liang comforted himself as he ate, "It doesn't matter if you have a big goal or bad culinary skills. You'll feel more accomplished when you're in the future."
Sang Mi watched as he chewed and swallowed. His face was scrunched up in discomfort, and she whispered in his ear, "Brother Langxi, is it disgusting? Just bear with it a little longer. When my grandfather came to visit me, he promised that a female uncle would come and cook for us tomorrow. "
Gou Liang gave him a look of appreciation.
Sang Mi giggled and said, "Priest DRen is still more delicious."
Starting the next day, a female would take turns to cook for Priest DRen and take care of the cubs of the tribe who were fostered at the Priest's place during the day.
Although the culinary skills were also not delicious, they were better than the Priest and Meng Hao.
After another two days, Meng Hao, who was about to be on duty, returned with a full load.
"... Grandpa, when will Brother Meng Hao come back?"
Hearing the voice of Gou Liang, Meng Hao, who originally wanted to find The Old Priest to learn about Meng Hui's condition in the past few days, stopped.
Through the window, he saw Gou Liang lying on the table, holding his chin in the palm of his hand and smiling at The Old Priest, who was sitting beside him grinding medicinal powder. His feet were swaying.
Meng Hao was in a trance for a moment.
Time seemed to go back to the first half of his life. At that time, the little Lang Xi looked at him or The Old Priest doing things. When she smiled, her eyes were bright, and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth were delicate and lovely.
The Old Priest probably had the same feeling, so his tone of speaking to Gou Liang was very loving, just like he used to treat the little female who loved to cry and laugh.
"He should be back today or tomorrow. Little Xi can see him after sleeping."
Gou Liang was happy and began to look forward to what delicious things his Meng Hao brother would bring back for him and Meng Hui. Black silk fruit or tender bicorn meat? Silver muskmelon or colorful bird eggs?
That appearance made Meng Hao, who had once again picked up his footsteps, stop again, because... he did not bring back anything for Gou Liang.
The Old Priest listened with a smile. Gou Liang suddenly stopped and asked him, "Grandpa Wo Qing, you have Sang Mi, can't I learn the Priest's prayer from you?"
The old priest's action of stopping the blood powder paused and looked at Gou Liang's expression. Seeing that there was only a simple question in his eyes, he asked him, "Why do you ask? Does Little Xi want to be a priest?"
Gou Liang thought about it seriously, then shook his head. "I just want Little Hui to get better quickly, so that Meng Hao brother will not be so sad."
The Old Priest said with a smile, "Little Xi has such an idea."
Gou Liang scratched his head and smiled shyly. He moved to The Old Priest and hugged his arm. "Grandpa Wo Qing, I secretly thought for a long time, and finally thought of a way."
"Oh?"
The Old Priest looked at him with wide eyes.
Gou Liang was encouraged and said, "I can't learn the Priest's prayer, but I can learn medical skills from Grandpa Wo Qing. In this way, I can make Little Hui get better faster, and Meng Hao brother will not always be unhappy. And, I am so smart, I will learn quickly, right? "
The Old Priest nodded. The little female was eager to learn, he naturally agreed, but the ugly words had to be said first. "Learning medical skills is also very hard. If you give up halfway, Grandpa will never teach you again."
"I won't."
Gou Liang said affirmatively.
The Old Priest laughed and touched his head. "You child, why do you like Meng Hao so much?"
Gou Liang said, "I like Meng Hao brother the most... But Grandpa, why when I wake up, Meng Hao brother doesn't like me anymore?"
The light in his eyes dimmed a lot. The Old Priest comforted him. "You have all grown up. Meng Hao can no longer be close to females like when he was a child..."
"Grow up ah... If only I could not grow up."
In Gou Liang's sigh, Meng Hao turned and left.
The next day.
"Meng Hao brother!"
As soon as he woke up, he smelled Meng Hao's scent. Gou Liang, who came over happily, jumped on Meng Hao's back. "Meng Hao brother, you are back! I miss you so much! "
Meng Hao, who was already prepared, covered Gou Liang's face with one hand, not allowing Gou Liang to rub his face and neck randomly. Gou Liang was not picky and nestled his cheek into Meng Hao's palm, whimpering and rubbing against it.
Meng Hao: "... Go down."
Gou Liang: "I don't want to."
The Old Priest on the opposite side looked at Meng Hao's stiff expression of wanting to push people but not being able to do it. He smiled and said, "Meng Hao, don't worry. Meng Hui's situation is very optimistic. As long as you are careful not to let him get hurt again, he will be able to stand up again. "
Hearing this, Meng Hao's eyes were filled with joy. After thanking the Old Priest, he skillfully shook Gou Liang away and walked away quickly.
Gou Liang did not chase this time. He looked at his back with a bulging face. His eyes were full of tears.
When the Old Priest saw this, he sighed helplessly and handed him a bag of black silk fruit and silver muskmelon. "Hey, little glutton, your Meng Hao brother specially brought it for you."
Gou Liang's eyes lit up. He was revived in the same place. He held the bag of treasures and shouted for Meng Hao brother. He happily chased after him.
The days passed as they chased each other.
When the dull pain in Gou Liang's lower abdomen finally healed completely, and when Meng Hui stood up again, the silver moon in the night sky had become gray.
Meng Hui was worthy of being a beastman with a strong physique. Although Gou Liang adjusted the efficiency of the bone and flesh reconstruction props to the lowest, his recovery speed was faster than Gou Liang expected.
When the black wolf stood up again, Gou Liang saw that Meng Hao was wet. Although Meng Hui only stood for a while and sat back down again, it was already a great surprise! He turned into a huge white wolf. His body was bigger than the black wolf. He rubbed the black wolf's depressed head, patted the black wolf's back with his tail, and comforted his brother that he would become better and better in the future.
Gou Liang saw this in his eyes and his eyes were red with jealousy.
What was even more hateful was that Meng Hui had already stood up, but the target's favorability still did not change!
That night, the black wolf could not sleep because of the bone regeneration. Meng Hao went to ask The Old Priest to come over to help. Under the Old Priest's singing, the black wolf finally fell asleep.
When he sent The Old Priest back, Meng Hao suddenly asked, "Priest Da Ren, Lang Xi, he... When will he recover his memory?"
The Old Priest was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You child, are you finally not at odds with him?"
Meng Hao said, "I am grateful for everything he is doing for Meng Hui."
The Old Priest sighed and said, "As far as it is concerned, the possibility of Little Xi recovering his memory is very small. Meng Hao, I hope you can understand that Little Xi is different from Lang Xi now. The mistakes made by Lang Xi should not be borne by a child. "
"... He will grow up."
He will always repeat the process of being sensible and then alienating them.
The Old Priest shook his head.
He said, "I am not excusing Lang Xi. Every beastman is blessed by the Beast God when they are born. They are like the Silver Moon Flower, pure and transparent. Until he learns from us, grows up little by little, and becomes a colorful Red Moon Flower. In this process, as an elder, the responsibility is greater. And I believe that the Chieftain and Ghar will no longer spoil him like before and never teach him. "
The Old Priest believed that the child will grow up to be completely different from before.
Kind, upright.
Meng Hao opened his mouth, but in the end, he left without saying anything.
[Ding! Target favorability updated! Current favorability: Data is unstable, accurate calculation is in progress!]
Meng Hao was thinking about something. Today, Gou Liang wanted to get close to him and Meng Hui but did not dare to. But even if he was grateful, he still could not let go of the harm Lang Xi had done to his brother.
His footsteps paused. Meng Hao stopped for a while in front of the back room. His brother was snoring in his sleep. He did not go in to rest. Instead, he turned around and went to Gou Liang's room.
Gou Liang, who was sleeping, had a sweet smile on his mouth, and the dimples on the corners of his mouth were faintly discernible.
Meng Hao looked at him silently. Suddenly, he saw him smacking his lips, touching something with his hands, turning sideways to face himself, and continuing to grope until he rolled the quilt into his arms. Just like when he was a child, when he was holding his tail, he touched and giggled.
"Meng Hao gege... delicious... Awoo, awoo..."
He did not know what he was dreaming of, but the little dimples on his face were full of sweet smiles.
Meng Hao's smile softened a lot.
He reached out and covered the quilt again. He thought: I will not forget the hurt, but I will also watch you grow up again... I hope that you will really grow into a brilliant and colorful Red Moon Flower like Priest Da Ren said, and no longer a cold and piercing Icicle Flower in full bloom in the White Moon.
[Ding, the target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 61!]
Seeing the big blind spot leave, Gou Liang pulled up the quilt, bit the quilt and made a silly laughter - Awoo! It's not far from the day when I sleep with a big tail! Awoo, Awoo!!
*
The Grey Rose Season was the shortest of the four seasons, only less than a month.
The sky has been drizzling, and when the drizzle turned into a torrential rain, Gou Liang had memorized the effects of all the herbs taught by the priest with his extraordinary talent, and could accurately identify their appearance.
Afraid that he would forget, the old priest often took time to let him recite it again.
This was the case at this time.
Gou Liang: "Silver Star Grass, Beast G.o.d DRen's blessing to the new life, can help the female uncle give birth to healthy Beastman babies; Silver Moon Flower, Beast G.o.d DRen's gift to the Beastmen who struggled through the White Moon Season, eating it can make people warm and comfortable; Grey Moon Vine... Oh, Grandpa Wo Qing, Meng Hao gege and father, when will they come back?"
Sang Mi was looking at him with admiration.
Seeing Gou Liang was no longer on his back, he was hugging his knees, looking anxiously at the heavy rain outside the window, the lightning flashing and the thunder rumbling, the dimples at the corners of his mouth were gone, his eyes were filled with worry. Thereupon Wei Xiaobao came to his side and comforted Gou Liang, "We'll be back soon. My father and grandfather said that when the rain stops, they will be home. Priest DRen, the rain will stop soon, right? "
The old priest smiled and nodded.
But this did not ease Gou Liang's worry.
He was watching the big blind spot harvest the Grey Moon Vine and hide under a big tree to avoid the rain - this was not being struck by lightning!
He was on tenterhooks. No wonder in the memory of the original owner, every time the Grey Moon Season Beastmen went out, they would come back injured, and some even died. Wasn't this looking for death?
Meng Hao's trip was to harvest the Grey Moon Vine.
The Grey Moon Vine was a precious herb that only grew in the rainy season of the Grey Moon Season. It could be used as medicine and could be directly used. It grew in the large forest at the foot of the long Shengpai Mountain.
It could convert the rainwater it absorbed into a nourishing grey emulsion. At the end of the Grey Moon Season, when the rainstorm was the heaviest, it would drink until it was full and accumulate the most emulsion. Once the Grey Moon Season ended, the unharvested Grey Moon Vine would bloom and bear fruit overnight. The emulsion would condense in the fruit and be swallowed by the most ferocious Black Armored Dragon.
The Grey Moon Vine's emulsion was very precious. Not only could it make the Beastman cubs and females stronger, but it could also be preserved until the White Moon Season and would not dry up or be lost. With it, the survival rate of the weaker females and cubs in the White Moon Season would be greatly improved.
As such, no matter how dangerous the weather was, the tribe's warriors would definitely seize every second to harvest the Gray Moon Vines when they were full and the Black-Scaled Dragon didn't show up to keep watch. They would wrap the Gray Moon Vines all over their bodies until they couldn't carry them anymore.
Sang Mi said, "Brother Lang Xi, don't worry. We will continue to carry it."
He looked so excited, as if Gou Liang was telling an interesting story.
Gou Liang sighed secretly, "The Grey Moon Vine is a precious tear bestowed by the Beast God to the Beastmen. It makes the Beastmen strong and brave, not fearing the cold and illness. The Red Moon Flower is a medal bestowed by the Beast God to the brave Beastmen. It makes the blood of the Beastmen coagulate and heals the wounds of the Beastmen.
Gou Liang's voice suddenly froze.
F * ck!
They were struck by lightning just because they wanted to. This was too unlucky!
On the system monitor, they saw a certain Beastman being struck by lightning and turned into a piece of black charcoal. The Beastmen who were leaning on the tree suddenly burst into flames in the torrential rain. The Beastmen who were burned and frightened all let out roars.
"Hu Li!!"
The companion of the Beastman who was struck to death cried out.
The Beastman beside him grabbed him, not allowing him to grab the Beastman who had already lost his life and was burning in flames.
Lang Xiong roared in the Beast Language, "The Beast God does not want us to stay here any longer. Everyone follow me and return to the tribe as fast as possible!"
The Beastmen all responded and began to rush back to the tribe.
The fire on the tree was quickly extinguished by the heavy rain. However, behind the Beastmen, several trees were struck by lightning one after another. Balls of fire exploded one after another. In an instant, a continuous fire spread. Even the heavy rain could not extinguish the raging fire in a short period of time.
The Beast God was driving them away from this dangerous place!
With this thought in mind, the Beastmen moved faster and faster!
Gou Liang only let out a sigh of relief when he saw the Beastmen leave the heavily damaged area of the forest and enter the grassland.
Although the team harvesting the Grey Moon Vines suffered some burns, most of them returned safely on the night before the end of the Grey Moon Rose season, except for the pitiful Moon Fox Beastman.
Gou Liang sighed in relief when he saw Meng Hao and Lang Xiong were unharmed. However, the matter was not really over yet.
The female Moon Fox Beastman, Hu Li, was heartbroken. She actually went to find Meng Hao to vent her pain. In the Herb Garden, a burst of crying and cursing was suddenly heard, "Despicable White Beastman, you brought disaster to the tribe. You killed Hu Li, it's all your fault!"
He hurled a stone at him.
Meng Hao's face darkened. He did not dodge.
"Brother Meng Hao!"
Gou Liang rushed towards Meng Hao as fast as he could. Before Meng Hao could react, the stone had already smashed onto Gou Liang's head.
Immediately, blood stained Gou Liang's pale and frightened face.
