Barbecue

Chapter 4 Barbecue

---

Xiao Cao looked at him and wondered, “Why did the witch ask about this? Isn’t this something that everyone knows?”

Everyone…?

“Oh. I see.” Lu Yu mused.

“Xiao Cao, witch!” A thin boy with dark skin ran in and said: “The meat has been divided. The King called for us to eat.”

Xaio Cao put down the thing in her hands and stood up. “Okay.”

Lu Yu also stood up.

The little boy looked at Lu Yu with sparkling eyes, “Witch, they said that you can make things appear and disappear, and can also heal wounds.”

He grabbed his hair and looked annoyed at himself, “I didn’t see it just now. It’s all because I ran to catch a rabbit that ran out.”

Lu Yu thought for a while, stretch his hand out in front of him and opened his palm.

A small red pill appeared.

“Here you go. If you get hurt while catching a rabbit, eat it.”

The boy stared in surprise,”It’s really for me?!”

Lu Yu smiled and nodded.

“Thank you witch!” The boy took the pill carefully in his hand, raised his fist, turned and run out, “Mother! Look at what the witch gave me!”

“Witch, such a valuable thing…” Xiao Cao was worried.

Lu Yu just laugh, “It’s alright. This pill was originally meant to heal everyone.”

Moreover, this was dropped from Shan Pu’s kills. It was the result of their cooperation. It’s only natural to be used by the Matai people.

Outside the cave.

The once-huge mammoth corpse, is now only a bloody skeleton. At first sight, it looks really appalling.

Around it are the Matai people siting on the ground with clean leaves in front of them, and in the middle is hill of meat and blood.

“Witch, come and sit here.” Shan Pu, who was sitting next to the Matai King, stood up and waved him over.

Lu Yu look at the scene in front if him and felt that something wrong. Hearing the call, his foot moved before he can think.

Along the way, he receive countless bright attention, especially from the children, including the little boy who talked with him just now, like a row of puppies, wagging their tail in excitement.

Shan Pu pointed at the piece of meat placed beside the Matai King, “Witch, this is the tenderest meat we have prepared for you. We don’t know if you eat it or not. If you don’t eat it, there are still a few fruits. But its best to eat meat. Eating meat will make you full, and have enough strength…”

“Wait!”

Lu Yu finally realized what was wrong.

…There isn’t even a fire here?

Lu Yu asked dryly, “This meat… will be eaten just like that? Eat it raw?”

“Yeah…” Shan Pu scratched his head, “Does the witch only eat with fire?”

Of course! Drilling wood for fire! Barbecue! Your language is very developed, don’t tell me you don’t understand!

Lu Yu let out a strong smile, “Yes.”

Shan Pu was distressed, “But we cannot make a fire. Those who can make fire are not here anymore…” At the end, he also pouted his lips, “What’s so delicious about a meat over fire? It’s bitter, hard , dry and difficult to bite. Its better to eat it directly.”

Lu Yu was speechless, “Then you…won’t your body feel uncomfortable if you eat it this way?”

Shan Pu said innocently, “No– hey.”

Xiao Cao slapped him away, worried, “Yes, we will be weak once in awhile, and we can’t eat anything, we will spit it out. It would take two to three days to get better. Before… this was not the case when the tribe helps us barbecue.”

Eating raw meat everyday, even iron man can’t stay alright.

But Lu Yu understands. The Matai is very disciplined and has a strict division of labor. It’s estimated that these people who manage to escape at the beginning only knows how to hunt and kill, and have no logistic knowledge.

Their cave was neat, but their only wore rough animal skirt, and their weapon is only a wooden stick, not even a stone hammer.

Now they can’t even make fire, and has been happily eating raw meat for ten years.

Very unthinkable.

Lu Yu turned his head towards the sitting Matai King and said: “King, I will make fire, and give everyone barbecue? Its easy to get sick after eating raw meat.”

The Matai King has not said anything, and the other Matai people started muttering.

“Our witch is so good. He can even make fire!”

“But the witch want barbecue, I don’t want to eat barbecue…”

“Yeah, I don’t want to eat it too, it’s too bad…”

“Although eating raw meat makes us uncomfortable, but we won’t get hurt ah.”

“The witch wants to eat barbecue, just give it to the witch to eat. We will not eat.”

“Even if I can’t eat for three days, and can’t move on the grass bed, I still won’t eat barbecue.”

“Me too…”
