Chapter 182 (Companion)
Before going to bed, Shen Mushen slapped Gu Chaochao who was hiding under his hair: "Then... we are not pretending partners now?
" He patted the wolf's head, "Don't be noisy, go to sleep."
Shen Mu let out a disdainful sigh, but lay down peacefully. Although he didn't fall asleep for a long time, he still seemed to have had a sweet dream.
Since he wanted to be a true partner, Gu Chaochao should have something that others have, so the next morning, Shen Mushen went to search in the forest.
Ah Zhuang happened to come back from outside and was a little surprised when he met him: "Why are you going?"
"Tiger hunting." Shen Mushen replied.
Ah Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Are you going to make skin for Chao Chao?"
Shen Mushen did not deny it.
A Zhuang smiled: "Although you are very powerful, you can't hunt tigers by yourself, how about I call a few more people?"
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever helped him, and Shen Mushen has long been I got used to it, and when I heard him say that he wanted to help, he immediately showed hesitation.
"Although we are not strong, but we have rich hunting experience, if we go together, we can keep the integrity of the tiger skin as much as possible," A Zhuang said, unable to hold back his joy, "Look at what I said, it seems that you can find it as long as you look for it. Like a tiger, the weather is getting colder and colder now, and maybe I have to go home empty-handed."
Shen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Thank you."
Ah Zhuang saw that he agreed, and his eyes lit up immediately. , turned his head and ran into the tribe: "You wait, I'll call someone right now."
Seeing this, Shen Mushen reminded loudly: "Don't tell Chaochao first!" Luck, he didn't want Gu Chaochao to be happy until he caught it. Shen Mushen was in an inexplicably good mood, and even Zhuang, who had always been regarded as a rival in love, was much more pleasing to the eye.
"You know, don't worry!" Zhuang used Leopard's advantages and quickly disappeared in front of him.
So when Ah Zhuang came back, he could clearly feel the change in Shen Mushen's attitude towards him.
The group spent a day in the forest, killing a few pheasants and two snakes, but never saw a trace of the tiger.
On the other side of the tribe, Gu Chaochao was in front of a group of orcs, demonstrating the stunt of how to cook meat to taste better.
It's actually very simple, just boil the water, but because the orcs have never done this before, they find it fresh and fun, especially after tasting the meat she made, it is even more praised.
"Chaochao, you are amazing, just cook it one more time, the taste will not be fishy, and the soup will be much better." An orc praised.
Gu Chaochao smiled and said, "After boiling the blood, the taste will naturally improve."
"You are so smart." The other orcs also praised.
Gu Chaochao, who has never cooked in the real world and whose only experience is the world of fiction, felt a little embarrassed when they praised her. Fished out of the ocean of praise.
Some orcs saw her looking out frequently, so they kindly reminded: "They went hunting, and it is estimated that they will not come back until it is dark."
Gu Chaochao paused: "I didn't just go out two days ago, why did I go hunting again today?"
Winter has not yet come. Although the orcs are very good at preserving food, they cannot keep it as long as a refrigerator, so they will not hunt frequently during this time. Only when the first snow falls, will they hoard food for the winter. So on the premise that I just finished hunting two days ago, it stands to reason that I shouldn't go today.
"I guess it's just idle and boring, you know, some orcs are happy to go out for a walk," a petite sheep clan said with a smile, "Yes, it will take a long time for them to return, why don't you teach us something else, don't I only teach how to cook meat, and I also teach vegetables."
"Yes, teach me how to make green vegetables, my little orcs are very picky!" The other orc quickly echoed, so everyone else looked over.
Since Gu Chaochao came to this world, it was the first time that she had high hopes. Seeing that Shen Mushen had not returned, she simply agreed and taught them to fry vegetables with animal fat.
"Lard, for example, is very fragrant when you cook it." As she spoke, she cut off a small piece of fat, and fry it a few times in the pot made of cooking. After the oil was boiled, she added green vegetables and asked for it again. Pour some coarse salt on top.
After a simple stir-fry, it was served and waited for them to taste expectantly.
The orcs were used to boiling water, and this was the first time they saw cooking with fat and oil, and they were hesitant for a while. In the end, a naughty little orc was the first to join in. After hooking up a green vegetable with his claws and stuffing it into his mouth, he immediately exhaled. Screaming hot while boasting delicious.
The behavior of the little orc caused a burst of laughter, and everyone suddenly became a lot more daring. They tasted this strange green vegetable alternately, and then they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Seeing this, Gu Chaochao's vanity suddenly reached the top. After accepting everyone's belated compliments, he found a reason to slip away first. When she was about to reach the door of the house, she suddenly thought of something, so she hurriedly invited the neighbor who was playing with the child to come to the house.
Shen Mushen, A Zhuang and the others went around for a while, but they never found any trace of the tiger, so they had to come back with their prey in the end.
As soon as they arrived in the tribe, someone greeted them warmly—to be
more precise, these greetings came from Shen Mushen.
The group of people who just came back was very puzzled, and finally a little orc answered their questions: "Chaochao made us stewed meat and stir-fried vegetables today, and they tasted very good!"
"What is stir-fried vegetables?" Strong doubt.
The little orc looked proud: "You haven't eaten it, right? Mushen must have eaten it!"
So Zhuang and the others looked at Shen Mushen, and Shen Mushen had a sullen face: "Well, I did.
" What does it taste like?" A Zhuang was curious.
"...It tastes delicious." After Shen Mushen finished speaking, he strode towards home, not giving A Zhuang a chance to ask any further.
The sky was completely dark, most of the orcs had fallen asleep, and the tribe was very quiet. Shen Mushen walked faster and faster, and his breathing gradually became heavier. When he thought that she and Gu Chaochao had lived for so long, she hadn't cooked a single meal for herself, but when she went out, she was cooking for others, and his pace became more and more serious. It's fast.
In the end, he still thought that the two feet were too slow, so he transformed into one and ran towards the house with four claws.
Bang—the door was forcibly slammed open by his huge body, and as soon as the accusations spilled out of his mouth, he saw that in the house with a bonfire, Gu Chaochao had just put a plate of green vegetables on the stone for eating, The smell of a piece of food. Seeing her smiling face, Shen Mu's throat twitched, and after a while, he turned back into a human form as if nothing had happened, and then closed the door and sat down opposite her: "Why are you cooking all of a sudden?"
The moment her eyes met, she raised her lips and smiled: "I'm back, come and try the dishes I made."
"It's just a whim, you can try it. I can't eat it." Gu Chaochao looked expectantly.
Shen Mu took a deep taste of the meat and vegetables in front of him.
Things are often eaten, but the taste is subtly different.
delicious. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still wanted to make trouble: "Who asked you to cook for them?"
Gu Chaochao knew that he was going to make trouble with himself, so he specially asked someone to help him to make a fire and make a new one for him.
Hearing him asking for trouble at this moment, Gu Chaochao explained without changing his face: "If I don't let them try it first, how can I be sure that it's delicious?" The implication is that he will practice with others in order to make something delicious for him.
Shen Mu deeply felt that she was different from others, and the awkwardness in her heart instantly disappeared. Gu Chaochao smiled and pushed the meat to him. Just as he was about to tell him to eat more, Shen Mushen saw her red fingers with sharp eyes, and frowned again: "What happened?"
"I accidentally made it when I first started cooking." Gu Chaochao answered honestly. The tableware in the Orc World is made by herself, rough and bulky. When she first used it, she would burn if she was not careful, but the other traces had disappeared, and only this one remained.
Shen Mushen's face suddenly turned dark: "It's not allowed to do it in the future."
Gu Chaochao laughed: "It's just a bit hot, it's not that serious."
"Then don't do it again." He wanted to give a few more warnings, but the atmosphere at the moment was so good that he couldn't bear to destroy it.
After struggling for a long time, he still gave up the warning.
Silent all night.
Gu Chaochao slept until noon the next day, and when he woke up, he saw roasted meat on the dining stone, and Shen Mushen was nowhere to be seen. Her heart moved, and after she went out, she asked someone to ask, Shen Mushen really went out hunting.
"There is still so much food at home, why does he always go out?" Gu Chaochao was very helpless.
The other orcs who didn't participate in the hunting were also very puzzled, but they didn't have the hobby to ask the truth. After a moment of doubt, they forgot about it, and once again asked Gu Chaochao to teach them how to cook.
Shen Mushen was not around, and Gu Chaochao was also idle when he was idle, so he simply taught classes in the open space of the tribe. When the orcs in the tribe heard the news, they all came, and dozens of them gathered together. Gu Chaochao couldn't help laughing because of their thirst for knowledge: "Since we have all arrived, shall we start now?"
"Don't worry." The deer clan sister who was with her quickly glanced at the partner next to her, and several orcs immediately pulled Gu Chaochao away from the bonfire, making sure she was far enough away from the fire before speaking, "It's alright now."
Gu Chaochao "?"
"Mu Shen said, if we hurt you again, he will take you out of the tribe." The deer sister said seriously.
Gu Chaochao twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's not that serious, I just accidentally..."
"For the sake of everyone's happiness, you should stand here and guide, we will be responsible for other things." After speaking, the sister quickly carried the pot to the on fire.
Seeing her quick movements, Gu Chaochao resolutely gave up the struggle and started pure oral teaching.
The cooking teaching game was played for a few hours. When it was over, everyone was full. Shen Mushen and others also came back from hunting, but it was different from yesterday's full reward. Today, they only beat two rabbits.
"Five or six orcs only beat two rabbits, is there enough food for you on the road?" Gu Chaochao laughed mercilessly.
Shen Mu gave her a deep slanted look, ignoring it.
Gu Chaochao wanted to laugh a few more words, but inadvertently saw two not-so-deep bloodstains on his wrist, and he felt distressed in an instant: "Anyway, there is still a lot to eat, so don't mess around, okay?
" Don't worry about it for two days." Shen Mu deeply remembered the tiger that ran away, and a hint of depression flashed on his face.
Gu Chaochao saw that he was in a bad mood, and immediately reached out and rubbed his head.
Early the next morning, Shen Mushen really went out again, Gu Chaochao sighed, and looked like she was used to it. While she was doing some miscellaneous things to pass the time, she patiently waited for Shen Mushen until evening, when she secretly After making dinner, I wanted to wait for him to come back to eat together, but I didn't see him until midnight. On the other side, with Shen Mushen's deep roar, the behemoth finally fell to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood and then lost his breath. Everyone cheered, gathered together and simply peeled off the tiger's skin neatly, then split the rest, and each person carried a piece on his back.
Not only did not see him, but also saw Zhuang. Gu Chaochao walked around anxiously, and finally couldn't help but ran outside the tribe to wait.
Shen Mu squatted by the stream, carefully washed the tiger skin, and then folded it and hugged it.
"This tiger skin is too complete. You give it to Chao Chao, Mu Shen, and Chao Chao will definitely like it very much," A Zhuang said happily, "This skin is really good, much better than my family's one."
" I don’t know how many generations it has been passed down, and the hair is bald a lot, of course it’s not as good as this one, if Chaochao received this skin, he would definitely go crazy with joy.”
Shen Mushen still had wet blood on his face . , Wen Yan just responded lightly, fingers unconsciously licking the wet tiger skin.
"Let's go back quickly, the family must be worried." An orc urged.
Others immediately laughed at him for being afraid of his wife, but the orcs didn't refute, but smiled embarrassedly: "You guys who don't have a partner don't understand this feeling of being missed at all, Mu Shen definitely understands, have you been out for a long time? Chao Chao was so worried that he couldn't eat?"
Everyone immediately looked at Shen Mushen.
In Shen Mushen's mind, the picture of Gu Chaochao eating and drinking spicy food appeared in his mind. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Look, those of us who have partners are all the same." The orc said with a happy face, which immediately attracted the envy of other orcs.
Shen Mushen didn't scream, but he was still a little envious.
A group of vigorous young orcs walked back while chatting. When they were about to reach the tribe, Shen Mushen suddenly stopped. Everyone was stunned for a while. Just as they were about to ask what was wrong, they heard Gu Chaochao's voice -
"Why did you come back, you scared me to death, and thought something was wrong..." Gu Chaochao walked towards them while complaining, and walked up to him quickly. Shi was stunned for a while, and was so frightened that he rushed over in three and two steps, grabbing Shen Mushen's arm, "Why is there so much blood on your body? Are you injured?!"
Shen Mu stared at her in a daze, until a joking whistle came from his ear, he suddenly returned to his senses, cleared his throat and looked at the other orcs: "Having a partner is like this, it's easy to be missed."
Gu Chaochao: "?"
The orcs were jealous for a while, and then left first. The corners of Shen Mushen's lips raised slightly, and only then did he explain to Gu Chaochao: "I'm not injured."
"...I see it." What can be the matter if you can show your love so full of anger?
Gu Chaochao paused, his eyes fell on the wet tiger skin in his arms.
"We beat a tiger today." Shen Mushen explained.
Gu Chaochao exclaimed: "It's amazing!"
"It's mainly because I'm amazing." Shen Mushen emphasized.
Gu Chaochao squinted at him: "I know, it's you who I praised."
Shen Mushen was satisfied only then, seeing her curiously staring at Tiger Skin, his ears warmed slightly.
"How to divide this piece of skin? Is it going to be confiscated again?" Gu Chaochao was very envious.
Shen Mushen teased her deliberately: "If you don't confiscated, what will happen to you?"
"Then I won't have to squeeze with you at night." Gu Chaochao didn't even think about it.
Shen Mushen: "..."
"So will it be confiscated?" Gu Chaochao asked.
Shen Mushen: "...Yes."
"Ah, that's fine." Gu Chaochao was disappointed.
Shen Mu had a deep expressionless face, and walked home with the tiger skin in his arms. "Of course, the furry one still has its own body temperature, but this is definitely better." After Gu Chaochao finished speaking, he reached out and squeezed the still damp tiger skin. Shen Mushen knocked off her hand mercilessly. Gu Chaochao: "...I can't even touch it?" "Who cares if you touch it?" He asked back.
Gu Chaochao followed up reluctantly: "Can we confiscate it later? Let me cover it for two days. I haven't understood what it's like to sleep under a quilt for a long time. Every time I curl up under your stomach, I don't dare to turn around and move around."
"Is my stomach bad?" Shen Mu was deeply displeased.
Gu Chaochao: "..." Can you shed hair when you touch it?
The two returned home in silence, and Shen Mushen threw the tiger skin in the yard to dry. Seeing his rough action, Gu Chaochao wanted to ask if he is not afraid of hair loss now? But because someone seemed to be in a bad mood, she decided to give up asking.
The bonfire in the house had already been extinguished, and the two of them did not light it again, but walked towards the bed in the dark. Gu Chaochao's night vision ability was not as good as Shen Mushen's, so he walked relatively slowly, but he also came to the bed safely.
She groped for bed, and after laying down, she habitually rubbed against Shen Mushen, only to realize that he hadn't turned into a wolf.
"Why don't you deform?" she asked curiously.
Shen Mu was silent for a moment before speaking lightly, "I don't want to change."
"Why?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
Shen Mu snorted coldly: "I just don't want to." The
anger was about to burst out.
Gu Chaochao paused and began to seriously think about what was wrong, which made him so angry.
First, he was normal when he first came back, and he knew how to show affection to outsiders, and then it was tiger skin... Gu Chaochao realized, and carefully reached out and poked his waist. Shen Mushen didn't expect that she would suddenly shoot, but it was the place where she was most ticklish. Although she didn't want to react, she was still like a mimosa, poking and poking it...
After two or three times, He couldn't bear to grab Gu Chaochao's hand, and Gu Chaochao clasped his fingers with his backhand.
Shen , the mood becomes subtle in an instant, I want to continue to be angry, but I can't get angry, I want to stay angry, but anger is like damp wood, and it can't be ignited.
"That tiger skin was given to me, right?" Gu Chaochao said in the dark, "You have been running out all this time to find skins for me?"
Shen Mu said nothing.
Gu Chaochao smiled, holding his face and kissing him: "Why are you so nice." This
was the first time Shen Mushen was kissed by her in a human form, she felt clearer and her heart beat faster. He froze for a moment with a sullen face, but in the end he couldn't help but say, "I'm so useless, you don't want to sleep with me."
"No, I just don't want to be so crowded," Gu Chaochao laughed, "the bed is too big. Small, you are wolf-shaped and big, and the weather is very cold, I only get warm when I curl up in your stomach every time, it is definitely not as comfortable as covering tiger skin."
"You just don't want to sleep with me." Shen Mushen insisted.
Although they are male protagonists from different worlds, their offenses are really similar. Gu Chaochao is now familiar with this kind of situation: "We can build it together."
Shen Mushen: "?"
"With the tiger skin, you don't need to maintain the wolf shape to keep warm, just like now, the two of us sleep together. Make a bed, so it's not crowded at all," Gu Chaochao said, and kissed him again, "It's my fault, I can't speak my mind, it makes you sad." When the
two of them got along, they were used to fighting. , Gu Chaochao suddenly retreated again and again, Shen Mushen was embarrassed at first: "...forgive you."
Gu Chaochao smiled: "Can you give me that leather?"
"It was originally yours." Shen Mushen After saying this, he still got up and lit the bonfire, then went to the yard to pick up the tiger skin and looked at her solemnly, "Gu Chaochao, are you willing to accept my tiger skin?" Shen Mu's lips curled deeply . Raised and solemnly handed the tiger skin to her. The tiger's skin was very heavy, and Gu Chaochao struggled to hold it with both hands, but he still held it seriously. "Then, from now on, we will be true partners." Shen Mushen said seriously. Gu Chaochao met his green eyes and nodded unconsciously. Shen Mushen suddenly became a little more nervous: "Are you ready?" "...What?" Gu Chaochao was also nervous.
Gu Chaochao looked at the tall man in front of him. The man, suddenly his cheeks were hot: "...I will."
"Conclude the ceremony, be my woman." Shen Mu stared at her deeply.
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a while, and when he regained his senses, his cheeks flushed: "It's done, it's done."
"...Okay."
Shen Mu took a deep breath and walked towards her slowly.
Gu Chaochao was thirsty in his throat and couldn't help closing his eyes, but before he could kiss him, he was thrown onto the bed by him, and when he opened his eyes again, Shen Mushen had already changed back into a wolf shape.
Gu Chaochao: "?"
"For the first time, use the original form," the big wild wolf looked at her solemnly, "but since you don't have the ability to change shape, just let me use the original form alone."
Gu Chaochao: "...?"
Gu Chaochao: "!!!"
