Chapter 176: Long Time No See, Gu Mengmeng

“How long are we hanging these for?” Sandy tilted her head and asked.

Gu Mengmeng smacked her lips and replied, “I don’t know, it depends on the situation of the air-dry.”

Sandy did not know what was the situation of the air-dry but it looked as if they had to hang them for very long. So, she gave up the desire to wait further and pulled Gu Mengmeng, asking her, “We’ve finished stringing the water shuttles. How about asking Bode to bring more fish over so that we can continue.”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head to reject Sandy’s suggestion, and she pointed at the thirty big fish hung up on the tree, saying, “Although they taste good, we can’t finish eating all of them during winter.”

Sandy was shocked and her clear large eyes were instantly filled with the gaze of a fan-girl while saliva dripped from her mouth uncontrollably. She pulled onto Gu Mengmeng’s arm and pointed at the fish on the tree excitedly while exclaiming, “It’s for eating? Eating?!”

Gu Mengmeng smiled as she nodded and said, “Yeah, after they’re dried, they will not go bad so easily. Before winter comes, you can ask Bode to take two bunches away and leave one bunch for me. Eating a meal of fish meat during winter sometimes is still quite enjoyable.”

Elvis’s expression became sullen, and he stepped forward to hold onto Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders. After accommodating to her height, he stared into her eyes and asked, “The food will not rot if you just hang it up like that?”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled, “Of course not, you have to preserve them with salt first before drying them. This can not be compared with preservatives, but as what you said, the snow will cover the mountains during winter and we can’t even leave our caves, then that will become a natural fridge for us. If we handled them well, there will be no problem if we leave them for an entire winter.”

Elvis was overwhelmed with joy and he carried Gu Mengmeng up, howling at the skies.

Gu Mengmeng did not know what message he is sending but after a while, the males in the tribe were all gathered in front of Elvis’s cave, staring at Gu Mengmeng with glistening eyes.

“Xiaomeng, what food can be stored using this method? Can you tell everyone?” Elvis hugged onto Gu Mengmeng so that the petite female would not be submerged amongst all these tall and burly males. Furthermore, males have strong hearing abilities so even if Gu Mengmeng’s voice was not as loud as Elvis, the males were still able to hear her words clearly.

After Gu Mengmeng fell out of love, she did not appear in front of a crowd again. Being under the watchful eyes of the crowd in so long, Gu Mengmeng still felt rather uncomfortable and out of instinct, she huddled deeper into Elvis’s embrace. With only half her face exposed to the crowd, she said, “All normal food can be stored like this but I didn’t try preserving those tigers, leopards that all of you normally eat… so I’m not sure but they should be able to be stored theoretically.”

After Gu Mengmeng finished her words, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd of beasts.

No matter how many times Gu Mengmeng heard it, the situation of hundred beasts howling to the skies still gave Gu Mengmeng a scare.

She huddled her entire body into Elvis’s arms and resembled a terrorized cat being protected by Elvis who is patting her back slowly.

After the males finished howling, they went off in all directions in search for food that they can store. And at this time, a familiar being slowly walked to Gu Mengmeng. He gave a bashful smile and lifted his hand up, saying, “Long time no see, Gu Mengmeng.”

Gu Mengmeng then noticed Barete who she had not seen for ages. The last time she saw him was at the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment.

“Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Gu Mengmeng was a little awkward. These days, she was busy either dating or falling out of love. She actually completely forgotten this male who was implicated by her.
