Chapter 40: Strange Qin Feng
"These are all ...... Did you catch it?" Duan Mo looked at the large pile of prey on Wu Qi's back, his face full of shock.
Zhu Xingxing smiled shyly, nodded and said, "It's all Wu Qi who helped me catch it." ”
Wu Xiao seemed to be able to understand Zhu Xingxing's praise, and it rubbed Zhu Xingxing's body very affectionately with its terrifying head full of fangs, just as well-behaved as a cat.
"Do you see that these prey are enough, if not, I can catch some more......" Zhu Xingxing asked.
"Enough, enough!" Duan Mo replied repeatedly. This food was enough for the four of them to eat for three or four days, and if there was more prey, there would be no place to store it.
Zhu Xingxing's loot calmed Wang Ruoyi's mood, and without the threat of starvation, she didn't want to continue to lose her temper with Qin Feng. Duan Mo didn't want to see the members have infighting, so he hurriedly asked the others to help pack up the prey.
After a simple treatment, the four people in the camp looked at the piles of meat and felt a full sense of security in their hearts. No matter what time it is, food is always the first pursuit of human beings.
At the same time, Zhu Xingxing's hunting efficiency also caused Duan Mo to think deeply. Although Wu Mo is also obedient to Duan Mo on weekdays, it is obvious that the cooperation between Zhu Xingxing and Wu Mo is far more than Duan Mo, perhaps this is the unique characteristic brought by the beast tamer, which Duan Mo cannot compare to in any case.
Therefore, Duan Mo is bound to embark on a path of fighting on his own in the future, even if Zhu Xingxing can tame more powerful dinosaurs, Duan Mo will not be able to get much help from it.
Moreover, as their ability to obtain food greatly improved, another ensuing problem also came to Duan Mo's face - he needed to find a way to keep this food for a long time.
The climate on the island is hot, and these pieces of meat are extremely easy to rot and deteriorate, although Zhu Xingxing has hit a lot of prey, but within three or four days, these pieces of meat will spoil, and then you need to look for new prey.
Although Wu Xing's ability to hunt small animals is very strong, but in time, the small animals around the camp will be eaten up sooner or later, and at that time, Zhu Xingxing will have to go farther away if he wants to hunt again, and it is very likely that it will take a week to hunt - Duan Mo and they can't wait a week hungry.
So, after dinner, Duan Mo proposed his ideas to his partners.
Although he didn't have the technology to preserve food in his head, Duan Mo was not a complete idiot, and without the guidance of the Ark system, he could rely on his ingenuity to survive on the island.
For example, he quickly came up with a way to dry all the meat into jerky. The desert island is surrounded by the ocean, and Duan Mo can extract salt from the seawater and then apply salt to the meat. The island's daytime sun is extremely hot, and the moisture in the cuts of meat is quickly dried and dried into jerky that can be preserved for a long time.
Of course, the jerky made in this way is not very tasty.
Duan Mo is a powerful person who does what he says, just after this night, Duan Mo got up early, and began to cut down trees, weave straw ropes, extract salt, and cut meat pieces, thanks to the help of iron tools, these jobs were done quickly, Duan Mo made a big meat drying rack in a short time, and then he threaded the meat pieces with straw ropes and hung them on the shelves one by one.
The climate on the island was too hot and humid, and the dried meat could only be stored for about a week, Duan Mo was not satisfied with this, but in a short period of time, he couldn't think of any other good way.
In addition, what made Duan Mo even more puzzled was that on the day he was making the meat drying rack, Qin Feng disappeared again.
If Qin Feng didn't work with Duan Mo due to lack of tools before, he could barely say it, but today's making meat drying racks is all just simple work, why did Qin Feng still run away?
What's even more excessive is that Qin Feng didn't even say hello to Duan Mo - he slipped away early in the morning when others weren't paying attention, and didn't return to the camp until the evening.
This time, not only Wang Ruoyi, but even Zhu Xingxing was a little dissatisfied.
In the three days that this new member came to the camp, he did not contribute to the camp at all, but ate a lot of food, and such a member was simply a scourge.
Zhu Xingxing and Wang Ruoyi's eyes towards Qin Feng had already shown great dissatisfaction, Duan Mo felt that he could no longer sit idly by, and it was necessary for him to have a good talk with Qin Feng.
His encounter with Qin Feng was not very friendly from the beginning, and Qin Feng's strange actions after returning to the camp made Duan Mo incomprehensible. Duan Mo knew that for this kind of strange person, he should not be brought back, but on this kind of desert island, the joy of seeing the same kind is indescribable, Duan Mo, as a human being, naturally gave a little more trust to Qin Feng, who is also a human being, but now this trust has come to an end.
After dinner, it was a rare good weather outside, and Duan Mo and the others chose to sit in the courtyard to relax—Duan Mo and Zhu Xingxing sat together, while Qin Feng himself hid on the other side extremely withdrawn.
Duan Mo felt that this was a good opportunity, so he stood up, pretended to stretch his waist easily, and slowly walked in front of Qin Feng, pretending to be very indifferent and said, "Do you want to go out for a walk with me?"
Qin Feng raised his head and glanced at Duan Mo, his gaze was very deep, and he couldn't see any emotion at all.
"Good. After a long time, Duan Mo was even a little hairy by Qin Feng, and Qin Feng nodded slowly.
Duan Mo coughed and pointed to the outside of the courtyard, "Why don't we go to the lake?"
"Hmm. Qin Feng was like a robot, and walked out of the courtyard directly.
Duan Mo followed, and before walking out of the courtyard, he also glanced back at Zhu Xingxing and Wang Ruoyi. Zhu Xingxing's eyes were full of expectation, while Wang Ruoyi's eyes were full of disgust, as if he wished that Duan Mo would beat Qin Feng up and make him completely honest.
The two walked out of the courtyard and walked all the way along the lake into the distance, Duan Mo repeatedly thought about how to speak, and Qin Feng didn't speak, as if he was just waiting for Duan Mo to ask.
The fragile trust between two human beings stranded on a desert island is being put to the test.
"Qin Feng. The two walked around the small lake for most of the time in one go, and Duan Mo finally mustered up the courage to ask, "What have you been doing in the past two days?"
"Hunting. Qin Feng seemed to have expected Duan Mo to ask this question, so he immediately answered.
Duan Mo frowned, "You're still doing other things, aren't you?" Your excuse can't convince me at all, you are a good level hunter, if you hunt, it is impossible not to find any prey for two days." I don't know what you've spent those two days doing, but I'm sure you've got something to hide from me. ”
Duan Mo said the doubts in his heart in one breath, he didn't want to continue to be polite. Qin Feng's behavior made Duan Mo feel a great threat - if this Qin Feng was a bad person, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"If I had bad intentions, you would have died long ago. Qin Feng snorted, and at the same time deliberately exposed the *** on his waist. "You suspect I'm a bad guy, then you can banish me from the camp. ”
Duan Mo didn't expect Qin Feng to be so direct, which caught him a little off guard.
"No, I mean...... Since you are willing to join us, you should be honest with each other, we all have the same purpose - to live, and in order to survive, we need to help each other......"
