Chapter 23: The Rainstorm Returns
"Didn't you bring back something else, why do you have to eat turtles?"
Nie Chunxian looked at me a little unwillingly.
"Those crab claws don't have much meat, how can they compare to this turtle?"
Ignoring Nie Chunxian anymore, I took out the dagger, although this turtle is somewhat innocent, but without survival, I must kill it to obtain energy.
I took a swift and humane approach to make the turtles suffer less.
Nie Chunxian didn't stop me, he kept looking at me, his eyes were full of disappointment......
At last she could not bear to look any longer, and turned back to the tent.
Xiao Qian said in a low voice: "Little Brother Su, is it really too much for us to eat turtles?"
"I don't think you can skip eating if you think it's too much. ”
"Oh, don't, don't, I haven't eaten turtle meat yet! I don't know which one is better than soft-shelled turtle meat. ”
The shell of the turtle is relatively hard, so I just threw a whole turtle into the fire and burned it.
"Don't you need to eviscerate?"
Xiao Qian couldn't help but ask.
"No, and the shell is too hard. It is better to burn it in this way, and the sealed turtle shell can play the role of a pressure cooker, and when the turtle shell becomes crispy, it will fall off, indicating that it can be eaten. ”
As for the crab claws, some of them are boiled and eaten with wild vegetables, and some of them are used for barbecue.
The turtle was cooked after an hour and a half, and I cracked the shell with wood and cut a piece of meat to taste it.
"How?"
Xiao Qian looked at me with little stars in her eyes.
"It's ok, it's just a little salty, probably because turtles often stay in the sea. ”
To be honest, none of the food I've eaten lately has a taste of salt.
The taste buds are almost forgetting the taste of salt.
Everyone ate wild vegetables and turtle meat, and Nie Chunxian stayed in the tent and didn't come out, not knowing what he was doing.
I wrapped a few crab claws and a piece of turtle meat in clean leaves and went to the tent.
Nie Chunxian sat there motionless, not knowing what to think again.
"What do you want? You don't eat anything, aren't you hungry?"
The smell of the fragrant turtle meat made my mouth drool, and I didn't believe she could hold back.
"I don't eat it!"
Nie Chunxian glanced at the thing in my hand, and then turned his head away.
'Gollum ......'
And yet her belly betrayed her.
"You really don't want to eat it, so I'll take it and throw it away?"
After hesitating for a long time, Nie Chunxian still decided to eat, at first he only ate a small piece, and when he chewed, his eyes were closed, as if he was eating some terrible dark food......
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw how well she ate.
"I thought you really didn't eat it. Isn't it delicious?"
Nie Chunxian nodded and didn't speak, as if he didn't want to talk to me.
"Ahem, then I'll tell you something, from tomorrow onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of the supplies, and I have to get your consent for whatever I want to use. ”
Nie Chunxian swallowed the meat in his mouth and looked at me with some surprise.
"Really, are you going to let me take care of it?"
I nodded, "Of course, but you have to make sure you don't get into your pocket." ”
Nie Chunxian sneered and said, "Fill your pockets?"
Actually, I want to say don't just take things to give alms, with her compassion, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can be lost.
"Yes, so you have to make sure that you keep a record of what you use every day. ”
"Okay, I promise!"
Three days later.
In the middle of the night, I was asleep when I was suddenly woken up by the roaring thunder, and I walked out of the tent to look at the sky, where the night sky, which was as black as ink, flickered in the light of white lightning.
It looks like it's going to rain heavily.
With the lessons of the last rainstorm, we have strengthened our tents, and we don't know if we will be able to withstand the test of God this time.
The rainstorm is coming, and it is fierce, even more rapid than the last time, so I will take everyone to a higher place to take shelter for safety.
Heavy rain may cause high tides, and there may be tsunamis or something.
"Hurry up!"
Looking at the fleeing crowd, I waved and shouted.
I didn't see Nie Chunxian, I was a little flustered, ran to the place where the supplies were stacked, and found that she was still here.
"You don't want to die?!
Nie Chunxian was soaked and rummaged through the cabinets, and finally hugged a package, "There is medicine in it, there must be no accident!"
Although medicine is important, people are even more important.
Crash!
The heavy rain hit the roof of the tent like water, and the whole tent began to crumble, and the inside of the tent was flooded.
"Let's go!"
I pulled her and ran out.
Often at this time, there will be a bloody accident, and sure enough, she just got out of the tent and hit her foot.
"Women are such a nuisance!"
I complained and quickly picked her up and ran towards the higher ground.
The rain wet our clothes, and at the same time, I clearly felt Nie Chunxian's graceful figure.
I held her buttocks with both hands, and there was a soft squeezing sensation on my back, but I didn't have the heart to think about it at this time.
The rain was going to wash away the supplies......
The rain stopped at dawn, and when I returned to the camp, I saw a mess, the tents were washed away, and there was no one to use.
The salvaged materials were gone, if it weren't for Nie Chunxian rescuing a bag of medicines, there would really be nothing left this time.
"Nothing......"
Xiao Qian and the others looked like the camp had been ransacked by bandits, kneeling on the ground with tears in their eyes, and some even buried their heads and cried.
The rainstorm took away their hope of survival.
Nie Chunxian stood next to me in my coat, holding the package, she sniffed, her face was a little pale, it was raining last night, I was afraid that I would catch a cold and get sick.
"How do you feel, what's wrong with you?"
I touched her forehead and asked with concern. She was found to have some burns on her forehead.
"Nothing, just a little dizzy. ”
I opened the package, found a box of cold medicine, and handed it to him.
"If you feel uncomfortable, take medicine, don't hold on at this time. ”
Nie Chunxian took the cold medicine and nodded.
"Little Brother Su!"
At this time, I heard the voice of the co-captain.
Sure enough, the deputy captain came over with seven or eight people with a confused face, and it seemed that they had suffered from last night's heavy rain.
"How's it going over there?"
After hearing this, the deputy captain shook his head and said with a bitter face: "There is nothing, the rainstorm came too fast last night, and the supplies were not transferred at all." Even a few people are missing. ”
Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he has no choice but to continue to come back to Su Ye.
"Ahh
The deputy captain sneezed, and his gaze lingered on the package that Nie Chunxian was holding in his arms.
"Little Brother Su, it seems that your situation is slightly better than ours, I don't know if there is any medicine?"
