"This island is amazing, I just remembered that these animals I remember reading in a book, all of them are extinct animals. John said.

"That's what I thought at first, but I really haven't read any books on it, so stop chatting, are you here?" I said.

"Didn't I take a chance to catch my breath, and when I arrived, it was right in front. John said, pointing to the open field not far away.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. I said as I walked forward.

I didn't expect that there was a waterhole here, and where there was water, there were animals, I didn't dare to be careless, I took the bow and arrow in my hand, and slowly moved forward.

John is also an old hunter, and these things don't need to be reminded by me, and naturally they are just like me.

The two of them made a round but found no animals, and there were no plants around the pool.

"It's strange, why are there no animals. I touched my head and said.

"I don't know, I'm thirsty, I'll drink saliva first. As he spoke, John bent down, picked up the water from the pool, and drank.

"Wow..."A mouthful of water went in, but John spit it out.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"The water is salty. John said with his tongue sticking out.

"Didn't you find this water before?" I asked.

"No, I've seen a lot of animals around here, and I've only seen this waterhole now. John said.

After listening to John, I also squatted down and picked up a little water and tasted it, and sure enough, it was salty, no wonder there were no plants around this pool.

"There's definitely a salt cave around here, and this water can't be the groundwater that passes through the salt cave. I stood up and said.

"Just take this water back and drink it. John said.

"That's not good, there are too many impurities, don't drink the problem, we'll look around here." I said.

"Okay, let's find it. John said.

The two of them began a quick search of the neighborhood, and we actually found an underground cavern.

The two looked at each other, and John said, "Go in?"

"Light the torch and come in. I said, holding the fire in my hand.

"You've got to be a fireman, don't you? I don't have a lighter. John said.

"Oh yes, so excited. I said with a smile.

Lighting the torches, the two of them slowly moved towards the cave, which was more than one man high, and the inside was also very wide, and we were stunned by the sight of walking for a while, the cave was all white.

I stepped forward and wiped it on the rock wall and put it in my mouth, the long-lost taste was the salt we had been looking for.

"That's it, hahaha, hurry up. I said with a smile.

John also stepped forward to taste it, and instantly smiled from ear to ear.

The two hurriedly opened their backpacks, took out the bags sewn from deerskin, and kept filling them with salt cubes.

It wasn't until our backpacks were about to be moved that the two of us stopped, and although our shoulders were heavy on the way back, we were in a beautiful mood, and we even hummed a little song happily.

"Yang, I want to eat hot pot. John said.

"That's fine, but we're going faster. I said.

"Why?" said John.

"I have to go back and unload the salt and go out hunting, there is no fresh venison, how can I make a hot pot." I said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go quickly. John said as he stretched his legs.

John's Chinese is better than my English now, and he is very partial to Chinese food, which has to be said to be the credit of my cooking skills.

The two of them riveted their strength and hurried back, but I was fine, but John was already sweating profusely.

"Why don't we take a break?" I said.

"No, I can't rest for the sake of hot pot. John said in a firm tone.

I smiled wryly and shook my head, this guy is really a foodie.

Finally arriving at the station, and learning that we had found salt made everyone cheer, especially a few women.

But John only took a short break, drank a few sips of water, and then stood up and invited me to go.

"You're taking a break, there should still be time. I said with a smile.

"No, I rest while I'm eating hot pot. John said.

"Hot pot, what hot pot?" The women who were inspecting the salt bags suddenly gathered around, and their eyes lit up with excitement.

"Didn't you find salt, all kinds of spices, John said he wanted to eat hot pot. I said.

"What does he want to eat, we all want to eat, go and go. The women urged.

"If you know what we're going to do, let's go. I said.

"Go hunting, fresh venison is delicious to make hot pot. The women said in unison.

"Paul, you go too. Xia Yun said to Paul.

"Well, I'll hunt a sturdy deer back. Paul swore to Xia Yun.

"Well, I believe you, go quickly. Xia Yun said that she believed it, but I saw that her saliva was about to flow out, and it was estimated that what she saw in her eyes was not Paul at all, but venison hot pot.

At the urging of the women and John's insistence, we set off again with our weapons, and the deer hunt was much easier than the horned zebra.

My current archery skills can be said to be a hundred steps through Yang, John and Paul are naturally not bad, even the women in the station, except for the four who joined later, the others are archery masters.

In line with the principle of not extravagance and waste, we only hunted two deer, and the leftover venison can be marinated and made into venison jerky for preservation.

And considering the great usefulness of the deerskin, in order to be able to bring back as many valuable things as possible, we are not greedy.

"I haven't even caught it, so I'll wait no longer and I'll hunt another one. Paul said with a bitter face.

"Alright, it's not too early, John and I only ate some venison jerky today, and when I go back, I'll say you caught this one. I patted the deer on my shoulder and said.

"That's not good, how can I lie. Paul said.

"What do we three brothers do with each other, who hunts is not the same, anyway, everyone eats together. I said with a smile.

"But I promise Xia Yun," Paul said hesitantly.

yes, how did I forget such an important point.

"Alright, that's it, let's say you hunted this one. I looked at John.

John naturally understood Paul's concern, and hurriedly said: "We will tell Xia Yun that you hunted, but if it doesn't work, we will say that you hunted both heads." ”

"No, no, just one end, how can you carry it in this case, I'll do it. So Paul came up and took the deer from my shoulder.

"Alright, let's go. I said with a smile.

In fact, Paul thought too much, and when we carried the deer back, the women didn't care who hunted it, and they swallowed saliva with bright eyes.

Paul didn't even have a chance to change his performance, and the deer on his shoulder was picked up by the women and began to deal with it.

"Don't break the deerskin, if you don't have any clothes to wear, you'll have to rely on it. I said to the women.

"Got it, you go and prepare the hot pot. The women said to me.

I shook my head with a wry smile and went to our vegetable patch.

Under this condition, it is impossible to have a decent soup base, ginger, shallots, salt and spring water at the foot of the mountain are enough.

It's mostly still wet, and now that I have chili peppers, that's when I play.

"Why do you put the peppers on the fire?" asked John, crouching to the side.

"You know when you eat. I said with a smile.

I put the boiled chili peppers into the bamboo tube and mashed them, then added ginger, garlic and mint, and finally boiled some hot oil in the pot, and used the bamboo spoon I made to scoop up the hot oil and pour it on the spices in the bamboo tube.

Instantly, the aroma overflowed, and everyone stretched out their necks and gathered around me.

"It's so fragrant, I'm hungry. Ling Han said.

"I want to cry a little bit. Liu Yue said.

Everyone was talking about me, and I was a little helpless.

"If you want to eat it, don't hurry up and slice the venison and get ready, this soup will be opened immediately. I said.

"Okay, okay, you get a few more of these dips. As they spoke, they turned back and proceeded to process the venison.

Because we didn't have time to build tables and chairs, the current table is a relatively flat stone slab, which is placed directly on two tree stumps, which is more convenient to use than our previous table.

The chair is even simpler, just hold a stump and sit on it, if you have a whim, you can also make a few holes in the stump, insert a few wooden sticks, and even the backrest.
