074What if It Gets Damaged? !
Elvis's simple two words successfully attracted the attention of the people around.
In an instant, except for the crackling sound of the firewood, everyone was quietly watching Gu Mengmeng, which made Gu Mengmeng feel awkward for no reason.
It's just a nap, is it necessary for the whole tribe to watch together?
"Okay, let's eat." Elvis stood up holding Gu Mengmeng, walked to the campfire and sat down again.
Gu Mengmeng was a little worried and said, "You are not well yet, is it okay to hold me like this?"
Elvis raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said, "It's just a minor injury. I held you for an afternoon and it's almost healed."
Gu Mengmeng scolded, "What's the use of holding me? I'm not a medicine."
Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng's hair, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and laughed, "You are my life-saving golden elixir, there is nothing more effective than you."
Gu Mengmeng didn't reply. If she didn't know that there was no Internet here, she would even suspect that Elvis took advantage of her sleep to sneak a peek at some strange online novels.
She glanced at the bonfires around her, and there were nineteen of them, including her own.
Each family had a bonfire, which meant that the females had no casualties in this battle.
Oh, yes, even if all the males in the family died, the unmated males would automatically take over and continue to protect the females. Unless there was no male left in the tribe, the females would definitely be well protected.
Gu Mengmeng inherited Elvis's eyesight and could see very clearly in such a firelight.
Familiar faces were so calm that there was no trace of sadness.
Still commanding the males to eat this and that, do this and that...
Gu Mengmeng felt strange in her heart.
She was prepared to see the sad faces of the females tonight, and then be tortured by guilt and bruises all over her body, which was beyond repair.
She knew that it would be very painful, but she also knew that it was the torture she should bear.
But she didn't think that these females didn't even have a little sadness, as if the one who died was a stranger she had never seen before, not a partner who had gone through life and death for them and taken good care of them.
This alleviated Gu Mengmeng's guilt to some extent, but she felt another kind of unspeakable sadness.
The fire closest to Gu Mengmeng was Sandy's fire, just to the right of the tree hole.
Sandy sat with his back to Gu Mengmeng and never turned his head.
The three Kede brothers did not prepare barbecue in Gu Mengmeng's fire, but sat next to Sandy's fire. Berg sat next to Kanwu, his eyes passed through the flames and fell on Gu Mengmeng with scorching temperature, as if he could not control his longing.
Leia pinched the branch for grilling meat, and it snapped into two pieces with a snap. She smiled sinisterly, "Those eyes are really uncomfortable... I really want to dig them out."
Gu Mengmeng waved her hand and sighed, "Forget it, the kids know you don't like him, and have taken him to Sandy's place to eat. Don't worry about him, let him watch if he wants."
Lea took two deep breaths, then walked to Gu Mengmeng's side, blocked Berg's sight with her body, looked at Berg with a dark face and almost threatening eyes, and said, "How can that be, what if he gets hurt?!"
Gu Mengmeng was a little amused, patted Elvis's shoulder, and motioned him to turn around.
Elvis did as he was told, and turned his back to the fire on Sandy's side. Gu Mengmeng nestled into Elvis's arms, and shrank into Elvis's chest, then looked up at Leia and smiled, and Leia snorted and continued to grill meat.
