Chapter 411 The Most Precious
Chapter 411 The Most Precious
After Hou Yuan finished speaking, Lang Cang turned around and took out a bamboo tube from his pocket. "I forgot to take this out when I left. Please give it to your sorceress for me."
Houyuan scratched his head and obediently took the bamboo tube. "Okay."
Wolf Cang looked at the half-grown cub in front of him and said, "I heard from Sparrow that you are the most talented male beastman in the Golden Monkey tribe."
Hou Yuan let out a bewildered "Ah," not expecting that the monkey sparrow had such a high opinion of him.
"Que is quite old, and I need you to take good care of her for me," Lang Cang said earnestly, his face slightly serious.
Hou Yuan was a little embarrassed. Did the fortune teller like him that much?
"You don't need to tell me, I'll take good care of the sorceress!" The half-grown cub proudly raised its head.
Lang Cang felt slightly relieved. "In that case, let's part ways here."
Hou Yuan hugged the small bamboo tube in his arms tightly and nodded, "May you have a safe journey."
Lang Cang nodded, turned around and transformed into a giant wolf, leading the orcs behind him forward.
Hou Yuan watched their figures disappear into the forest, carefully placed the small bamboo tube in his arms, tied it tightly several times, then jumped up and, following the vines in the forest, soon returned to the dense forest.
After returning to the Golden Monkey Tribe, the first thing Hou Yuan did was knock on the door of the shaman's treehouse.
The monkey opened the gate. "They've already left?"
Hou Yuan nodded honestly, then handed the small bamboo tube in his arms to the sorceress, saying, "This is what Lang Cang asked me to give you."
Upon hearing this, the monkey and sparrow quickly took it, asking, "What is this?"
As she spoke, she quickly opened the tightly sealed bamboo tube.
Good heavens, she had to see what it was first. If it was too valuable, she had to make Houyuan return it immediately. Just now, when she was directing her people to put away the things that Lang Cang had brought, she opened the animal skin bag and took a look.
Those two full animal skin bags were actually filled with salt!
She thought it was some kind of plant. So much salt would be enough for the beastmen of the Golden Monkey tribe to get through a winter in peace!
Although the climate in the south is slightly better, the winters are damp and cold, and there aren't many animals here, which is causing the monkey a lot of worry.
And the animal skin package he handed to him contained pottery of the highest quality, with a gleaming sheen and a smooth surface. There were five pottery jars in total, which would fetch a high price even in a southern market!
When she saw these supplies, she had very mixed feelings.
How should I put it? It felt like being cared for by a cub.
She's been lucky in this life. When she was young, she was able to rely on Langku, and now that she's this old, she can even rely on Langku's descendants.
"I don't know, he didn't say, he just told me to give it to you..." Before Monkey could finish speaking, he saw that the wrinkled face of Monkey Sparrow suddenly froze.
"This...this...this child!"
Monkey Yuan curiously peeked over, and for a moment, both the big and small monkeys fell silent.
"Witch doctor, what is this?" Hou Yuan looked at the sticky stuff in the bamboo tube with a puzzled expression.
The monkey sparrow didn't speak, but simply dabbed a tiny bit of the substance onto the monkey's mouth.
Hou Yuan subconsciously licked the corner of his lips, then froze, "This, this thing is sweet?"
The monkey quickly put the lid back on the bamboo tube. "Go and see if you can catch up with them and return this to them."
"This is beast honey. This whole jar of beast honey is enough to feed our tribe for the entire winter!" She didn't know how long Lang Cang had been saving this, and she couldn't be so greedy.
Animal honey?
Hou Yuan was, after all, the son of the clan chief, so he was no stranger to this title. He stared blankly at the bamboo tube that was being stuffed back into his hand.
The sorceress said this stuff was the extremely precious animal honey that my father had been talking about.
But... what kind soul would put such precious animal honey in a broken bamboo tube!
Hou Yuan hurriedly licked his lips, then hugged the bamboo tube tightly and ran out in a flash.
Not at all.
How could a half-grown cub possibly catch up with the speed of Lang Cang and his companions? By the time Hou Yuan emerged from the dense forest again, the white wolf had vanished without a trace, not even a single hair remained.
Monkey had no choice but to obediently return and hand the beast honey back to the sorceress, saying, "Grandma, I couldn't catch up with them."
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the treehouse, and Houyuan obediently changed his address.
When there are no other beastmen around, Hou Yuan prefers to call her Granny Hou Que. Although Hou Que looks stern, she is actually a very kind old lady. It's just that her sisters are usually too afraid of her.
The monkey-sparrow sighed as she looked at the bamboo tube in the cub's arms, and then waved to the monkey-origin.
Monkey Yuan eagerly went over and presented the bamboo tube back to Monkey Sparrow.
After receiving it, the monkey opened the lid, picked up a chopstick with a bamboo stick, spun it around twice, and handed it to the monkey.
"Here, why don't you try it?" To be honest, she wasn't very capable. Hou Yuan was the son of the clan chief, and he had been grown up for so long, yet he didn't even know what beast honey tasted like.
It's easy to imagine just how destitute the Golden Monkey tribe has become over the years.
Looking at the animal honey on the bamboo stick, and recalling the sweet taste from before, Houyuan unconsciously licked his lips, then obediently shook his head, "I won't eat it. You should save it for the tribespeople to exchange for food."
He knew this was a very precious resource, and since he had already tasted a little bit of it, it was better to keep it for now.
Seeing his sensible appearance, the monkey felt a little sorry for him and stuffed the bamboo stick into his hand. "What good is this little bit? Take it, take it, divide it however you like."
When Houyuan saw the expression on Houque's face, he jumped for joy and ran out of the treehouse with a bamboo stick in his hand.
The other cubs in the tribe certainly haven't tasted this honey yet. He needs to find his sister and gather the cubs together to soak bamboo sticks in water and drink it, so that everyone can taste the flavor of animal honey!
Looking at Hou Yuan's lively and energetic back, Hou Que shook his head helplessly, but his eyes couldn't hide his doting affection.
This cub was the only child in the Golden Monkey tribe who wasn't afraid of her. She knew she hadn't misjudged him; Monkey Yuan was kind, brave, and very responsible, and also the most talented cub in the tribe.
When he grows up, he will definitely become a very qualified tribal chief.
Even if that's not the case, it doesn't matter. She just hopes that Monkey Plain and the other cubs can spend each day happily and peacefully.
This was also their greatest wish when they first decided to move to this dense forest: for their people to live in peace and harmony with the world.
