Chapter 23: The Gods and Ghosts Are Unpredictable

  The three hunters ate in silence what was probably the first fried chicken in history, and they all thought it tasted strange because there was no salt, but it was definitely much more delicious than many foods.

  What makes the hunter even more strange is Lin Bei's eating habits. The long worm eats everything by swallowing, including skin and bones plus meat. However, the adult in front of them completely overturned their understanding. The adult uses a sharp wooden stick to pick out the tender meat and eat it. Looking at the adult, it seems that they will not eat wild chicken bones at all. Also, the chicken neck and buttocks seem to be uneaten.

  "This great lord is truly... human-like." The three hunters had this thought flash through their minds simultaneously.

  If a person were like a monster, in ancient times they might have been drowned or burned to death. However, an entity that is itself a monster but has the appearance of a human being would not evoke such thoughts from people; instead, it would only inspire greater reverence. People can keep their distance from monsters, but they must also fear them.

  Choi Ah-ran felt grateful once again, fortunately this Dragon Lord had a good personality and didn't have the habit of eating people randomly, this was simply too great, hoping that the Dragon Lord would remain pure like this. Eating people was the most disgusting thing.

  A wild chicken weighs at least over seven catties, even if you remove the internal organs, it's still around five catties. The hunters naturally couldn't finish eating it, so Cui Shi Alan carefully wrapped up the leftover chicken meat. Seeing Lin Bei didn't stop them, the other two followed suit. Lin Bei pointed to the spring again.

  "Really? Is this what we're drinking?"

  Lin nodded.

  The three of them drank a mouthful of spring water, and the tiger-headed man stuttered: "Sir, this place is indeed worthy of your residence, even the spring water is so good to drink."

  Lin Bei glanced at him, then looked at the faces of the three men, and suddenly felt a little amused. These three people were somewhat intimidated, but it was good that they were afraid. After all, people should have a sense of reverence. Lin Bei hoped that these hunters wouldn't harbor any evil intentions.

  After eating and drinking water, it's time to do something serious, such as growing bones.

  Let Cui Shi Alan take out the rabbit skin scroll and put it on the ground. Lin Bei took a glance, then felt a lump in his throat. He could understand the pictures, but what was that note? Lin Bei couldn't understand it, nor did he know what kind of seal script it was, or maybe it was traditional Chinese characters? Anyway, Lin Bei was confused.

  After a moment of silence, Lin Bei swept his tail over the text and asked Cui Shi Alan. Cui Shi Alan was prepared: "Sir, I don't recognize these characters either, but Bai Dafu said that Shenggucao has a red color, is about three inches tall, has four leaves, and usually grows on cliff edges, likes sunshine, do you have any impression?"

  Lin Bei thought for a moment, in these ten or so days of running around, Lin Bei really hadn't paid much attention to the cliffs around him. However, there actually weren't many cliffs nearby because most were small hills like Fei Long Bi with such low heights. Perhaps it was because they hadn't entered the true forest yet.

  Seeing Lin Bei's silence, Cui Shi Alan continued: "Sir, the number of Shenggucao is scarce, and it's extremely normal that you haven't seen it before. However, I implore you to help me, sir. My elder brother has been depressed since he woke up, and if not for Father's consolation, he would have had thoughts of taking his own life. I really can't bear the thought of my brother being like this in the future."

  Lin Bei wanted to scratch his head, he wanted to help, but now there were still two little ones at home. If he went deep into the mountains, who would take care of the little ones? Let the three hunters take care of them, as long as they could open their mouths, it wouldn't be so difficult anymore. The key was that they couldn't open their mouths, how could they communicate by gestures? Lin Bei had never thought that communication was such a difficult thing, but no matter how difficult, he still had to communicate with them, and in the future, he would also have to ask them to repair houses.

  He pointed to the pagoda tree, and Lin Bei suddenly picked up Cui Shi Alan in one go. During the two hunters' moment of astonishment, Lin Bei carried Cui Shi Alan onto the pagoda tree, then put down the still frightened Cui Shi Alan.

  "Master, I thought you were going to eat me." Cui Shi Alan said with a bitter smile.

  Lin Beifeng shook his head solemnly.

  "Does it mean adults don't eat people?"

  Lin nodded.

  The three of them all let out a sigh of relief.

  Lin Bei explained the matter of eating people clearly, and only then did he lift the rattan cover. The two little guys were sleeping very soundly, and even if there were more people around, they wouldn't wake up. Lin Bei pointed at them, then pointed at Cui Shi Alang.

  Cui Shi Alan guessed for half a day before guessing that Lin Bei wanted Cui Shi Alan to take care of the two little birds, and then he went to find Shenggucao. Cui Shi Alan naturally agreed hastily.

  Replenished the two little guys with minced meat, let the three hunters see clearly how to take care of the two little guys, and also took advantage of Lin Bei's constant gestures to ask the hunters to help build a wooden house.

  He drew a circle first, then lay down in the circle and pretended to sleep. After doing this several times, Jiulang was the first to guess Lin Bei's intention, and Liehu only understood that Lin Bei wanted them to repair the house.

  Lin Bei's good character gradually opened up the hearts of the hunters, and even Jiulang asked: "Sir, isn't a house like yours usually built with gold? Why use wood?"

  Lin Bei wanted to roll his eyes, a golden house? You give me? Having a wooden house is good enough, and if the wooden house is well-maintained, it can exist for several hundred years, which is much better than a stone house.

  After instructing them, Lin Bei took another look at the two little ones, and finally set off. As he was leaving, he turned his head to gaze steadily at the three hunters. Cui Shi Alan, after all, had to be more careful, so he said: "Don't worry, sir, we'll take care of things here. We'll wait for your return."

  Lin Bei finally left.

  "Alan, what's on the tree?" Jiulang and Huto had been holding back for a long time.

  They are two little birds.

  "What? Could it be that you were a bird demon before and now you've turned into a long worm demon?" Jiu Lang asked in surprise.

  "Adults are really unpredictable." Hu Tou muttered.
