It was a sight to behold after the fortunate encounter with the wild forest boat earlier.

There was a lot of steam emitting from the ground where the wild forest boar's meat was being cooked mixed with the smell of herbs and spices indicated the meat was already halfway done. After another thirty minutes of dancing and drinking while the three brothers had earlier joined in their joyous occasion; the meat was ready.

Gao took a stick and began clawing on the surface of the sand; clearing away the embers and flat stones before exposing the charred banana leaf. He then carefully lifted the package where the charred banana leaves were stuck closely to the meat. He laid it on the flat ground and slowly peeled back the layers of banana leaves.

Underneath the charred banana leaves, the meat was of golden brown. Streams of hot steam raised from the cooked meat and the rich flavor and scent of seasoning permeated deep inside the meat through the cleaving made by the knife earlier was slowly released along with it.

Gao pinched a bit of the flesh and placed it in his mouth... ”Aalee aleee aleee aleeeeee leee leee leeee leeee...!!!” a sort of satisfactory cry erupted from his lips that would put Gordon Ramsy to shame with this kind of simple outback cooking.

With that cry, the men and women quickly surrounded Gao with banana leaves on their hands waiting for the distribution of the feast.

I received a large chunk of meat and began to eat. From the smell alone I could tell that it was perfectly done and the mixture of the seasonings and condiments made the meat tender and succulent.

My mouth watered as I pinched the meat and brought a small sliver into my mouth. The taste soon exploded in a multitude of wonderful tastes that even the famous Barbequed And Grill shop in my time would be a thing of the past. Especially when the meat was fresh and the catch was free.

A few mouthfuls of meat, a cup of liquor to accompany it; I could state that it was a high time to be alive. Even in another era and dimension, wonderful food would always be the best solution to any situation and made me forget where I had come from.

After our fill, I excused myself and made my way to the platform; climbed on it and found that a straw mat had been prepared. Four cotton filled pillow was laid separated by a few inches from each other laying side by side.

Four pieces of the thin woolen blanket were prepared. I quickly laid my head on the pillow; picking the end for my spot. I took the thin blanket and covered my body and legs for I am sure mosquitoes would find a way to bite at exposed skin.

I tugged at the blanket and soon my eyes were heavy with sleep.

A few moments later after all the food and cups of intoxicating and exotic Tuak; I soon drifted off into a deep uninterrupted sleep till the early morning... ZZZzzzzzzzz.
