To be king [Greek mythology]

Knowing why, he touched his nose embarrassingly, smiled, squatted next to Thurps and stared at his technique with burning eyes.

Thurps is not very skilled in handling wild boars, because he has only hunted wild boars once, and that time he only wanted to get rid of one of the wild boar's hind legs.

Because at that time he had already heard the howling of wolves - he didn't want to die for the prey at all.

"Remove its two hind legs." Surpus ordered, "It's getting dark, and many beasts are used to preying at night. We'd better hurry up."

Minos nodded. The two children buried their heads next to the black wild boar carcass and waved the not-so-sharp stone knives. After a few minutes, they finally removed most of the meat and two hind legs of the wild boar. down.

Surps felt a little pity looking at the internal organs that had flowed all over the floor.

These are also good things.

But Thurps didn't know how to cook it - it felt like it wouldn't work to just throw it into the pot and cook it. Similarly, he didn't have any free hands to handle the internal organs.

"Let's go." Thurpus gritted his teeth with his small body, carrying nearly ten catties of meat and a pig's hind leg, and ran back to the cave with Minos, who was carrying another pig's hind leg.

By this time it was already dark.

As Thurps said, shortly after they left, the beast with green eyes flashing in the dark jumped out of the bushes and ate up the remaining carcasses of the wild boar.

And Surpus and Minos lit the torches, and after wolfing down the cold food in the stone pot without any image, they began to process the wild pork without stopping.

Thurpus taught Minos little by little what to do to let the meat dry instead of hanging in the cave to rot.

Minos was a quick learner, but even so, it wasn't until late at night that two short-legged, short-handed children finished handling the stuff.

Minos finally knew why Surpus looked so unhappy when he used the jerky for him.

Because it is too hard to deal with these foods, and it needs to say less than a month of long wait.

"Go to sleep." Thurpus yawned, took a look at the food left in the stone pot, and put the stone pot at the door of the mongoose's cave, knocked on the stones covering the cave, "eat supper Ah, if you want to eat it quickly, I will throw it away.”

As soon as the words were finished, the furry mongoose poked its head out of the cave, its eyes were still sleepy, but it skillfully lifted the edge of the stone pot and took a look into the pot.

Then remove all the pieces of meat.

Minos was used to this scene.

Thurps actually had a good relationship with the mongoose.

You must know that if it weren't for the existence of this mongoose, the cave would definitely not be as clean as it is now. The mongoose is particularly dedicated to eating up all the poisonous snakes and insects in and around the cave.

Minos, at least, had little trace of catching larger insects in caves.

According to what Surpus told him, in the first winter here, Surpus survived on this mongoose.

It always finds a way to find a snake that has hibernated and frozen into a popsicle, and then drags it back for Surpus to eat.

Occasionally there are other small mammals that are unlucky enough to prey on it.

Minos knew that even though he always disliked the mongoose for its cheap mouth and hands, Thurpus liked it very much in his heart.

You can tell from the fact that he has to knock on the mouth of the mongoose's cave every day.

If the mongoose suddenly disappeared one day, Minos felt that Thurpus would probably be very sad.

After all, the meerkat saved him and made him survive the first cold winter that he was caught off guard.

"By the way." Surpus said suddenly, looked at Minos, and said, "I recently found traces left by humans in the forest."

Minos sat up straight when he heard this.

"This place can be regarded as a deep place, and few humans will come here." Thurps paused, and asked, "You two brothers, can't you do it so terribly?"

It wasn't enough to drive him into the forest, but he also wanted to see people and corpses in life.

I don't even think about it, if Minos has already been buried in the beast's mouth, how can I find it?

"Not necessarily." Minos shook his head, "The current owner of the city-state of Crete may also send someone here."

Thurps raised an eyebrow.

"If it was him, he probably came to save me."

After all, he was the son of Zeus. If something happened on his territory, the King of Crete would not be able to get away with it.

Thurps was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, seeing Minos in deep thought, he felt uncomfortable.

"Let me take a look, don't leave the cave these few days." Thurps said.

Minos didn't refuse, he knew it was the best proposal, he looked at Thurps with a smile, nodded, "Okay."

Thurps was still not very happy, but just said: "Wash up and sleep."

"If that's the case, I'll take you with me, Thurpus." Minos squatted next to Thurpus by the dark river, and after saying these heartfelt words, he began to wash off the dirt on his body.

Thurps made a move.

He turned his head to look at Minos, the child had a bright smile on his face.

"I promised you," said Minos.

Chapter 6

Thurps took a deep breath.

He withdrew his gaze from Minos' face, lowered his head and scrubbed silently.

If a mature man had told him this, Thurps would have been attacked directly.

Thurps, who was half-bent and not straight, was a little worried. Once he started to bend, he was out of control, especially before he was subjugated. Strong male hormones can be seen everywhere he looks. Strong men with bare muscles.

At the same time, there is no shortage of beautiful boys.

This world of fairy tales, Thurps sighed, high-quality men and women simply don’t need money, and they walk on the street to grab a handful.

He glanced at Minos and felt that he was the son of the king of stallions.

Thurpus thought, picking up girls... Bah, the skills in attacking others are all full-it's simply a racial talent.

"Surpus?" Minos, who didn't get an answer from Surpus, followed Surpus who had stripped himself naked and soaked in the water.

The flow rate of this small section of the dark river is not turbulent, and the water flow is quite clear, without much silt and sand, flowing calmly and peacefully.

Surpus glanced at him, then looked away, and after a long while, he choked out a "hum", squatted down and immersed himself in the water, enjoying the coolness without saying a word.

Minos was at a loss for Thurpus' sudden indifference. He looked at him for a long time, but in the cave with only one torch for lighting, he failed to catch Thurpus's reddened ears.

The future judge of the underworld really didn't know where he had offended the savior. He looked at Thurpus who was immersed in the river with a bewildered face, squatting on the side and stopped moving.

"Come down quickly." Thurpus looked back at Minos, met his blank eyes, and frowned, "Are you going to sleep without taking a shower, is it dirty?"

Minos carefully looked at Surpus's expression, and made sure that Surpus was really not angry with him or disliked him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took off his clothes and ran into the water .

Thurpus also sank his head into the water to wash his shoulder-length black hair. Seeing Minos come down and surfaced, he pursed his lips and lightly kicked Minos' calf.

The future judge of the underworld was comfortably enjoying the coolness of the clear groundwater. He felt the movement of the savior, and turned his head to look at him.

"What's the matter, Surpus?" Minos leaned over, looked at Surpus's wet hair, and asked following his own question, "Do you want me to wash your hair for you?"

As he said that, Minos reached out to straighten Richard's wet hair, put his hands on his scalp, and began to... massage.

Thurps, who originally just wanted Minos to wash his clothes, shamefully succumbed to the feeling that can only be described by one word.

Minos's hands are full of magic, Thurps sighed while throwing away his crying morality, this feeling is almost unstoppable.

"Is it comfortable?" Minos asked, but he already had the answer in his heart. Thurpus' eyes were closed, and he looked like a cat that had been smoothed and its paws were put away.

"Why do you do this?" Thurps turned his head and glanced at Minos, those brown eyes were staring at him intently.

"Naturally." Minos babbled nonsense. Don't let Surpus know the reason why he purposely squatted next to the slave to learn secretly in order to please his mother. Surpus would definitely laugh at him.

Thurps narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I look like someone with a low IQ?"

"...Not like." Minos laughed twice, and his hands became stronger, "You don't look like a child, Thurpus."

"Neither do you." Knowing that Minos didn't really want to bring up that topic, Thurpus didn't pursue it. He is not such an ignorant person.

Thurpus squinted his eyes comfortably, making Minos think that if he was a cat, he would already be purring.

"I am a child of a god, but you are not." Minos paused slightly, "You are excellent."

Thurpus clicked his tongue twice, and suddenly broke free from Minos' hands, straightened his hair casually, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Why are there so many good words today."

"I'm worried that you won't come with me." Minos spread his hands bluntly, "The possibility of my two brothers continuing to send people in is very small, so those people are very likely..."

"Why don't I go with you."
