Chapter 640 - A Bag of Green Beans (1/2)

“Did you manage to find it?” Bai Qingqing asked with anticipation, her gaze roaming between the two leopards.

Parker and Harvey were both in their leopard forms, and there was an animal bag tied to their waists. One of them was visibly more muscular and stronger, so it was easy for Bai Qingqing to tell which one was Parker.

Parker straightened his upper body and transformed into a human, then removed the bag from his waist and exclaimed excitedly, “We found it!”

He then opened the animal skin bag. Bai Qingqing stuck out her head and, upon seeing what it was, twitched her lips.

It was a bag of green beans!

Alright, green beans indeed could relieve heatiness and neutralize poison.

In any case, it wouldn’t do one’s health any harm to eat it, so Bai Qingqing asked, “Do we just cook and eat it?”

Winston handed Harvey an animal skin skirt, only then the latter transformed into a human and replied, “Mm, you need to drink it while it’s hot. When it’s just cooked it’s green in color, but after it cools down, it will turn black.”

That was oxidization, wasn’t it? Green beans only turned black when they came into contact with air; with the pot lid over it, they wouldn’t.

Bai Qingqing saw fatigue on Harvey’s face, but Parker, who went out with him, looked normal. She suddenly recalled that Harvey had just arrived in their village after a long journey and hadn’t had the chance to rest until now.

Feeling both grateful and guilty, like a good Chinese who extended good hospitality to their guests, Bai Qingqing blurted out naturally, “I’m sure it’s been a long time since you rested. Hurry up and come into our tree hole to have a good sleep.”

Immediately after those words came out of her mouth, Bai Qingqing could sense something not quite right with the atmosphere.

The countenances of Curtis, Winston, and Parker changed unanimously. They were now staring at Harvey with blatantly dangerous looks.

As for Harvey, he first burst out in euphoria, before his face turned pale having sensed their intimidation.

Bai Qingqing: Oops! Seems like I said something wrong.

This wasn’t the modern age, where one could invite a guest to sleep for the night without it meaning anything special. The moment he moved in, he would be considered family!

Oh dear, how was she going to clean up this mess?
