3656 Curiosity
As she looked at the food in her bowl, Feng Jiu didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. She glanced at everybody and said helplessly: “That’s enough, don’t pick anymore food for me, you all go ahead and eat!”
The air was filled with the aroma of mouth-watering aroma of food, and even a group of family members some distance away were in disbelief when they smelt the aroma of the food in the air.
“Why do I smell the aroma of rice and vegetables?” A man said, and he started sniffing vigorously. The more he smelt, the more fragrant it became, and the more he smelt it, the hungrier he became.
“The aroma of food? How is that possible? Where is it coming from? How can there be the aroma of food? It must be the aroma of meat. Rice and vegetables are hard to find, although there should be lots of meat being roasted around here.” Another person said. He did indeed smell the aroma of food in the air.
“Huh? It really is the aroma of rice and vegetables! Who is so capable? He can actually cook here?”
“There are a lot of fierce beasts in this place and there are also quite a few Sacred Beasts, how can someone cook here? Isn’t this just a way of courting death?”
“But I really smell the aroma of rice and vegetables. We have been out here for several months and we’ve not eaten rice or vegetables for several months. We have dry food or roast meat everyday and now when I smell the aroma of roast meat I feel full.”
“Me too. I’ve been eating roast meat for so many months that I don’t think that I will eat roast meat for a long time after I return home. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bowl of hot soup to drink right now?”
“Don’t think about it, who would bother to bring cooking utensils out with them, especially to a place like this? You’re lucky to be alive at all in this place.”
Everyone was talking and discussing as they ate the dry food in their hands. However, now that the aroma of rice and vegetables filled the air, they no longer wanted to take a bite of the dry food in their hands.
“I’m going to relieve myself.” A man stood up and said.
“I’m going too.” Another man said. The two of them looked at each other and walked behind a big tree together.
However, the two of them were unable to suppress their curiosity and they took advantage of the time to relieve themselves to see where the aroma of the rice and vegetables came from instead. In such a dangerous place, could people actually be cooking with pots and ladles?
After they waited for a while and saw that those people still hadn’t returned, the people who were discussing couldn’t help but look at each other and whispered: “Have they gone to take a look?”
“Probably, of course they aren’t relieving themselves. How long have they been gone now?”
“Do they not care about their lives? They actually dare to run off by themselves in the middle of the night? They really think that they have too long to live.”
“They’re curious! What can they do if they can’t suppress their curiosity? Don’t tell me you’re not curious?”
“I am quite curious as to where the aroma of rice and vegetables is coming from, but I won’t go out at night to take a look. What if I encounter a fierce beast? Those two… No, I have to report this to the Patriarch.”
As those people were talking on this side, those two men walked lightly and gathered their breath. They jumped up onto the branches lightly to look for the aroma of the rice and vegetables. However, they saw a pair of bloodthirsty eyes staring at them from a certain place in the dark night. They couldn’t help but were so frightened that their hairs stood on end.
“Psst! Why are there so many fierce beasts surrounding this place?”
