My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Chapter 42 The Gift of the Wind

"Walking on the country road, the old cow returning home at dusk is my companion. The blue sky matches the setting sun on its chest, and the colorful clouds are the clothes of the sunset..." Shi Erye hummed a song while waving the small branch in his hand. He also poked her from time to time, and Haha, who was leading the way in front, followed closely behind. He always paid attention to her feet, for fear that she would stagger and fall into the ditch beside her.

"Young Master's Wife!" The young man's clear voice suddenly sounded!

"Hey~ Hey~..." Shi Erye didn't react to the sudden sound and stepped on the back of his right foot with his left foot. "Pah~" he fell down.

"Hey? Doesn't it hurt?" Touching her butt, is there a warm cushion of flesh? "Oh my god, are you okay?" I said, "Why doesn't it hurt? Why are you cushioning me?" Shi Erye was really worried and sat on her butt flat. He quickly pulled her up and checked her body to see if she was injured.

"It's okay! Ma'am, I'm very strong." Ni said, patting his chest hard.

"Alright! Alright~" Shi Erye held her hand. Please stop taking pictures. If you continue, you might blow out the air you breathe. "Hey! Why are you so thin?"

The culprit also ran over. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry, sister Ni. I was too loud!" The boy apologized sincerely.

Shi Erye looked at the person who came. Hmm? Looks familiar? I must have seen him before. Who is he? While she was trying to recall, Ni had already started talking.

"It's okay, Feng!" Ni waved to Feng and said indifferently.

Ah! Right! Right! Right! Isn't this the cub from Grandma Hong's house? I haven't seen him for two months, but he's grown so big already? Grandma Hong is really a pig farmer... Ugh! No! She's a professional tiger farmer. I'll have to ask her how she raises cubs later.

"Oh~ It's Feng! Hello, you've grown so tall. I couldn't recognize you!" Shi Erye said to Feng, who was a head taller than him.

The boy, who was feeling lost and not being recognized, immediately laughed happily when he heard Shi Erye complimenting him on growing taller. "Madam, you haven't seen me for two months! Of course I have grown up!"

Is two months a long time? Shi Erye thought to himself. It seems that when I go home, I still need to ask in detail about the tiger cub's growth path.

"Well! Madam, I am now following King Haha to train my martial arts! King Haha is so powerful! My martial arts index has been upgraded." Feng happily reported his recent progress to Shi Erye.

"Huh? You're learning from Haha?" Shi Erye was very skeptical. What skills could a wolf teach a tiger?

"Awoo~" He laughed out loud at the praise, his eyes shining with pride, the corners of his mouth raised, and he looked at the three people with a condescending attitude.

"Haha, King has taught me a lot. Now I can hunt alone, and my family life is much better. I want to thank the young master and the lady!"

"Awoo~Awoo~" It was me who taught you how to hunt and support your family. Why are you thanking them?

"Um... Madam, do you like the gift I gave you?" the boy said expectantly but shyly.

"Gift?" Shi Erye had a question mark all over his head!

The King Haha, who was so arrogant and indignant just a second ago, now kept his mouth shut and lowered his head, not daring to make any more noise. "Ah~ young man, you are really a man who talks about things that are not related to the topic. You have said so much, but this time you are talking about the point... Ah bah! No, this time you are talking about firecrackers." Haha could already imagine the scene of Shi Erye's rage. This female got angry. Even the big tiger couldn't control her. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but step back a few steps and keep a distance from Shi Erye.

"Well! I went up the mountain by myself to pick wild flowers and fruits, and also caught my first prey. I asked King Haha to bring it back to you. It's not something precious..." Feng lowered his head and said this, feeling embarrassed.

"Oh~ It was brought home by Tohaha and given to me! I was wondering where they came from, such beautiful flowers and fresh fruits! I really like them all! I haven't even had the chance to say thank you to you!" Shi Erye looked at Feng and thanked him sincerely and happily!

"No! You're welcome! I'm glad you like it! I'm happy too!" Feng thought Shi Erye wouldn't like it. He was already disappointed and sad. Unexpectedly, he actually got Shi Erye's love and affirmation. He felt that the whole beast was recognized, and said to Shi Erye with high spirits, "I'm glad you like it! I'll give you more in the future!"

Shi Erye didn't lack anything materially. But he couldn't bear to pour cold water on such an optimistic young man. He smiled and agreed. "Okay! Then I'll be waiting. Thank you in advance! Feng has grown into an independent orc. To congratulate you, I'll give you these gifts." As he said that, Shi Erye took out a bag of dried meat, a bag of fried fish, a bag of small red dried fruits, and the deer antlers that were pushed back by the force.

Looking at these things, Feng lowered his hands, not daring to step forward to take them. "Madam, I give you a gift from the bottom of my heart, you..."

"I know!" interrupted the boy. "So I like it very much and I am happy to accept it! Do you think that the gift I gave you is not sincere? Do you think so?"

"No! No! No ma'am." Feng denied anxiously. "I don't think so."

"That's not what I thought. Why don't you accept the gift I gave you?" Shi Erye looked at Feng aggrievedly and said.

Just like that, being stared at by Shi Erye's clear and gentle eyes. Feng walked over and solemnly took the things from Shi Erye's hand. "Thank you, ma'am! I'm very happy! Really!"

Shi Erye smiled, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed into crescent shapes. "That's right! Be good! But from now on, we have to make three rules!"

"Three rules?" The boy looked at her puzzled.

"Well! You're the first. I support you in practicing martial arts with Haha. But your grandma is old, you have to do it within your ability, not over-train and not hurt yourself. Can you do it?" Shi Erye looked at Feng and asked.

Feng nodded after listening to Shi Erye's heartwarming words. "Yes! Yes! I will do my best to take good care of grandma! And take care of myself."

"Well! Very good, then, you gave me a gift, I am very happy, and I have no objection, but you can't go hunting in the jungle anymore," Shi Erye knew that if he stopped accepting gifts from the boy, he would feel inferior and sad. But she could stop him from going to dangerous places.

Feng showed an embarrassed expression.

Shi Erye continued to persuade him, "You are no longer a little animal cub. You know the dangers in the jungle. Even experienced adult animals dare not go into the jungle to hunt alone. You are quite courageous. Think about your grandma."

As expected, the boy thought of his elderly grandmother and his expression relaxed.

Seeing the results, Shi Erye struck while the iron was hot. "Of course, it's not that I won't let you go. When you learn the skills well from Haha, I'll ask Ming to take you hunting!"

Hearing that he could hunt with his idol, the boy instantly became very motivated! "Well! Madam, don't worry. I will definitely work hard and become as good as you! Then I can go to the jungle alone to hunt precious prey!"

"Aye? ~" Like Ming, hunting in the jungle, is that excellent? Oh! Still can't give up his determination to go to the jungle. Oh! Forget it, anyway, he won't go in the near future, isn't he going to become like Ming? At that time, he won't have to worry about it.

"Okay then, it's settled. You go home. I'll also go home to cook. Goodbye!" With that, Shi Erye, along with his two generals, set off on his journey home again.

After finally getting home, Haha opened the gate. Shi Erye couldn't wait to lie down on the bamboo chair under the flower tree.

"Haha~ Water!"

The big wolf said nothing and brought the bamboo tube filled with water.

Shi Erye took the bamboo tube, filled two large cups, and said to Ni who was still standing, "Why are you standing so far away? Come and sit! Drink some water!"

The mud that was called upon obeyed every instruction and took every action.

"Ah~ha~!" After replenishing enough water, Shi Erye felt alive again. "Ah~ I am so exhausted today! I didn't expect the tribe to have such a large territory!" Shi Erye put his legs on the bamboo chair opposite to him to relax his feet.

"Well, our Winged Tiger Tribe, along with the neighboring Bear Tribe and Lion Tribe, is the largest and richest tribe in the southern border." Ni replied.

"Oh?" Shi Erye was interested. He stood up and asked, "Besides the three major tribes, what other small tribes are there?"

"That's a lot!" Seeing that Shi Erye was interested, Ni happily explained to her, "There are goat tribes, dog tribes, cat tribes, wolf tribes, mountain eagle tribes..." Ni carefully told Shi Erye about the things and habits of each tribe.

Shi Erye listened with great interest. Soon he rested enough and recovered. "You are amazing! You know so much. Haha... I find it so interesting to talk to you." Shi Erye didn't lie to her. The little female was talking about gossip seriously, looking serious and mature. It was really interesting.

Ni blushed and said shyly after being teased, "I heard it all from my brother. He said that our southern border is poor and has limited knowledge. If we can learn more knowledge, we will have more protection."

"Yeah!" Shi Erye nodded in agreement. He had a greater appreciation for his brother whom he had never met. It seemed that both siblings were smart and studious.

Seeing that Shi Erye had rested enough, Ni also stood up and prepared to go home. "Madam, I'm going home first. I'll come to see you another day."

"Going home now? Are you in a hurry? Don't you want to accompany me?" Shi Erye didn't want to let her go. After all, she was used as a cushion for him. He kicked her out of the house without even eating a bite of food. How ungrateful!

Besides, looking at the tiny little one, Shi Erye's feeding syndrome came back, and he really wanted to raise her to be plump and white. It would be a great sense of accomplishment, right?

"No, I'll come to accompany you another day. Didn't you say you wanted to go home to cook? Then I'll go home first..." Afraid that Shi Erye would misunderstand, Ni tried hard to explain.

"Yes, I'm going to cook. If you leave, who will help me light the fire and cook?" Shi Erye said righteously.

"what?……"

"What? Come and help me cook." Shi Erye stood up and walked into the house, motioning for you to follow. Little guy, I'll let you stay.

"Oh~oh! Okay..." Ni hurriedly followed in.

Ni swore that this was the most beautiful and best log cabin she had ever seen. It was probably only the clan leader's house that could compare! The house was surrounded by smooth wooden stakes, deeply driven into the ground. The middle was tightly packed with thin wooden sticks, leaving no gaps. The roof was also woven and compacted with hay.

When I stepped into the house, I found it was very spacious. The height from the roof was also high. The floor was very smooth. There was a large bamboo table in the middle. There were bamboo chairs around the table. The bamboo bowls and baskets on the table were filled with dried meat and fruits. There was also a bunch of night-scented magnolias in the bamboo tube in the middle of the table! There were no animal skins for sleeping on the ground around. It was very clean, but there were some small toys that I couldn't understand.

There was a door opened on the right, and another door opened at the back.

"Hey~ What are you doing standing in the living room? Come to the kitchen and help." Shi Erye's voice came from the door on the right.

"Oh, here I come!" It turns out that the place where he was standing was called the living room. Ni thought to himself and walked quickly to the right, which was the kitchen that his wife mentioned.

In the kitchen, Shi Erye had already lit a fire. Ni hurried forward and snatched the branch from her hand. "Madam, please sit down and let me do it."

Looking at the active Ni, Shi Erye nodded, "Okay, you make the fire and I'll cook."

Ni opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was choked back by Shi Erye's words.

"Just watch me cook first. I don't want to eat barbecue that looks like charcoal." It's not that Shi Erye doesn't trust you, but she has seen the cooking skills of the beastmen. It's really... um... hard to describe. Just seeing Que's cooking skills this morning, I think your cooking skills won't be that good.

Ni didn't say anything more, and obediently squatted by the stove to help Shi Erye light the fire. He carefully observed the steps of Shi Erye's cooking, and his heart was filled with admiration and amazement. In his mind, he tried hard to remember it, thinking about helping his wife next time.
