“Can we eat the meat inside? We’ll just eat the meat inside,” Muchen asked, pointing at the two charred chickens.
Upon hearing this, Hao’er looked at them and used a dagger to cut off the burnt exterior, and then cut up the meat inside for them to eat: ” Try it.”
Chen’er took it, and first handed it to Yue’er before taking a piece for himself.
“Mmm, delicious,” Yue’er said happily, eating it in small bites, changing hands as she went, blowing on it with her little mouth.
“Mmm, delicious,” Muchen nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Hao’er cut off a piece and ate it. However, as soon as he put it in his mouth, he tasted the burnt flavour and the charred texture of the meat, which was very hard. Coupled with the lack of seasoning, there was nothing but the burnt flavour, which made it hard to eat.
He watched Muchen and Muyue eating with relish, and his heart ached. His eyes welled up with tears, which he swallowed back as he lowered his head, biting into the burnt meat in his mouth, so that they would not notice.
Even if his memory had not fully awakened, he knew that they were born into noble families and lived a life of luxury. Now, however, he was making his younger siblings hungry by feeding them burnt pheasant.
“Stop eating. There’s still some pastries in the space, and a small piece of dried meat. Eat that!” He reached out and took the meat from their hands, and threw it into the extinguished fire.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two little ones looked at him, and seeing his reddened eyes, they couldn’t help but ask worriedly, ” Big Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
“Eat this, but don’t eat this one, throw it away.” He threw the two burnt pheasants away and stuffed the pastry wrapped in paper into their arms, along with a small piece of dried meat.
The two little ones looked at the things in their arms and hesitated. Yue’er’s young voice said softly, ” But we can’t get out, should we save these until we’re very hungry?”
“It’s alright, just eat it! We’ll figure it out after we eat,” he said, signalling for them to eat.
Seeing this, the two little ones looked at each other. Chen’er then divided the small piece of jerky into three pieces and handed one to Hao’er: “Big Brother, you eat too.” He then took some pastries and gave them to him.
“I don’t want the jerky, I’ll just have some pastries,” Hao’er said, handing the jerky to Yue’er: “For Yue’er.”
“Yue’er doesn’t want it, Big Brother can have it,” Yue’er shook her little head and pushed it back.
“Big Brother, you eat it! We’ll share it,” Chen’er said, looking at him.
Hao’er shook his head and said, “This piece of jerky is not just any jerky, it’s spirit beast meat, and eating it will be good for your health.” He divided his piece of jerky into two and handed it to the two of them: “You eat it and see if it can stimulate the spirit energy in your bodies, and I’ll get you some medicinal pills to eat later.”
The two little guys glanced at each other and, seeing that he was unwilling to eat it, took it. They asked again, “Big Brother, if we have spirit energy, can we go back to find Father and Mother?”
Hearing them mention their parents, Hao’er’s mind flashed back to a scene. He came back to his senses and said, “You both have contract beasts like me, only that your spirit energy is sealed and your contract beasts cannot come out. If you can restore your spirit energy and let your contract beasts come out, perhaps we can think of a way to go back sooner.”
“Can Big Brother’s contract beast come out?” Yue’er asked curiously.
Hao’er shook his head: “It’s probably injured, or maybe my cultivation base is too weak. I called for it, but there was no response.”
