0745 Kill the jackal for the night
The bone knife on Tang Ding's arm is very sharp, and it is also very convenient to use, but the soft meat in the mouth of this water monster is full of toughness, and even if Tang Ding uses clumsy force and skill, this meat cutting is still progressing very slowly.
Although the progress is slow, if it weren't for this sharp bone knife, I'm afraid Tang Ding wouldn't have been able to take out the water monster's inner dan.
After this Neidan was taken out, Tang Ding was still taken aback.
The inner dan of this water monster is the size of a duck's egg, the whole body is smooth, the body is milky white, and if you look closely, it seems to have the luster of pearls.
Good stuff, good stuff.
Tang Ding put the water monster Neidan in his pocket and tied it tightly, and as for the tooth bone knife, Tang Ding threw it aside.
Diving out again is also a big problem, as the cave is diagonally downward, and it is difficult to dive down quickly.
After three attempts, Tang Ding finally found the exit of the cave from here and quickly ascended.
When Tang Ding resurfaced the river, it was midnight when the sky was full of stars, but now he had no idea of night and day, and in the cave where the widow was buried, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Don Ding climbed ashore, found the cave he had found the other day, picked up some firewood, lit it with a lighter placed in the cave, and baked his clothes.
When Tang Ding was baking clothes, he picked up the mobile phone placed in the cave and looked at it, it was all from Qin Yujie.
But now Tang Ding didn't want to contact Qin Yujie, firstly, Tang Ding found the tomb of the widow Qing, and secondly, Qin Yujie's performance in the tomb of Qin Gong made Tang Ding unwilling to share the information of this tomb with Qin Yujie.
It's May, and although the weather is still a little cool at night, it doesn't affect Tang Ding at all.
Tang Ding fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the fire had been extinguished, and the clothes that were clipped to him had been dried.
When I came out, the sun was in the west, and it was time to leave.
After Tang Ding came down the mountain, it was dark.
Before dark, Tang Ding arrived at a small village, which consisted of thirty or forty households, and at sunset in the evening, smoke rose from every house.
Tang Ding knocked on the door of a villager, and it was a child who opened the door, looking at Tang Ding, a stranger with big eyes.
"Junjun, who's it?" asked an old man who was busy working on the stove, sticking out his head.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm lost in the mountains, I want to buy something to eat. ”
The old man got up and looked at Tang Ding, with the unique simplicity of the mountain people, "Okay, okay, come in." ”
"Old man, is it just your two at home?"
"Well, the child's parents are working outside, and his grandfather is going to the vegetable garden to look for vegetables. ”
Most of the people in this village are old people and left-behind children, and when Tang Ding first entered the village, he didn't see any young people.
"Oh, then, Auntie, shall I eat at your house in the evening? ”
"You don't have to pay money, it's all farmhouse dishes, but there is little oil and water, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." ”
"It's okay, oh, by the way, I saw a little beast on the mountain before I came to see if it was still there?"
Tang Ding didn't see any dead little beast, he just saw the old man's cooking, sweet potatoes, potatoes, stews and no oil and water, Tang Ding was going to fight a beast now.
Tang Ding's feet are very fast, his feet are stepping on the bucket, the speed is to the limit, looking for traces of wild beasts in the nearby mountains, the tool in Tang Ding's hand is a blunt small scythe for cutting leeks picked up at the root of the old man's wall.
However, Tang Ding's luck was not very good, when he was descending the mountain earlier, he saw a clouded leopard, which was extremely fast, and also saw a marmot, but at that time Tang Ding was in a hurry and did not provoke them.
Tang Ding thought that there must be a lot of wild animals here, so he took advantage of this time to go up the mountain, ready to shoot one or two and give them to the old man's family who was eating.
However, Tang Ding walked in the mountains for more than half an hour, the sky was dark, Tang Ding didn't even encounter half of the prey, Tang Ding himself shook his head and sighed, his luck was not good.
It was dark, Tang Ding was about to turn around and walk back, just took two steps, a colorful pheasant, fluttered out of the bushes, Tang Ding didn't think about it, the blunt knife in his hand flew out, and the pheasant that had just flown to the ground.
Although the sickle was blunt, Tang Ding's hand was strong, and the speed at which the blunt knife flew away was very fast, and the accuracy and time were just right, and the blunt knife was inserted into the back of the pheasant.
This action seems simple, but it is extremely difficult, the pheasant flies very fast, the average person can't react at all, a flying knife, to insert the high-speed flying pheasant, the difficulty of which is much more difficult than the Olympic skeet shooting.
Tang Ding picked up the pheasant in the past and weighed it, it was more than two catties, although it was not big, but it was better than returning empty-handed.
With a pheasant in one hand and a blunt knife in the other, Tang Ding walked towards the small village in the mountains where he could faintly see the lights of the village.
Before he knew it, Tang Ding was about to climb to the top of the mountain.
It is said that Wangshan runs a dead horse, this mountain does not look big, but the distance is very far, and it is almost non-stop walking for half an hour to climb this mountain in the footsteps of Tang Ding.
Of course, for Tang Ding, going down the mountain is faster than going up the mountain, Tang Ding has excellent eyesight, with the help of the moonlight, he rises and falls, as if walking on the ground, and the descent is twice as fast as the uphill.
With a "howl", Tang Ding was excited.
Hearing like a wolf's howl, Tang Ding followed the voice.
In the moonlight, in the bushes below, a wolf was biting the neck of a deer, which was facing Tang Ding, who seemed to see the reluctant tears in its eyes.
Tang Ding no longer hesitated, and the blunt knife in his hand flew out with lightning and stabbed into the wolf's neck.
However, the wolf who was added by the blunt knife did not let go, but continued to bite the deer's neck, Tang Ding jumped down, the speed was like a ghost, and when he reached the wolf deer, he pulled out the blunt knife at once, and a stream of blood spurted out.
Just as the wolf's blood spurted out, it relented, gathered all its strength, and bit Tang Ding.
Tang Ding kicked the wolf on the waist and kicked the wolf out.
As the wolf saying goes: copper head and iron tail tofu waist.
Rural people say that the dog head that can't be smashed is the hardest.
After a blow from Tang Ding, coupled with a knife inserted into the head and neck, the wolf died at that time.
On the neck of the deer there were two rows of tooth marks that were deep and bone-deep, and they were bleeding outward, but this bleeding was not arterial blood, but only caused by the deep wound.
After beating a wolf, Tang Ding can finally go back to the errand.
"Let's go!" Don Ding patted the deer's butt and told it to hurry away.
However, the deer seemed to think that Tang Ding had a life-saving grace for it, and Tang Ding did not leave, and neither did it.
Tang Ding carried the wolf, which weighed fifty or sixty pounds, and carried a pheasant and a blunt knife in the other hand, and walked down the mountain.
The deer that was saved by Tang Ding, and when it saw that Tang Ding was gone, it turned around and left.
Because of the heavy load on his body, it slightly affected Tang Ding's speed, and it took Tang Ding half an hour to return to the house where he was going to stay.
When Tang Ding came back, it was already completely dark, and every household lit oil lamps, but it was dark early in the mountains.
The people in the mountains are simple, and the grandfather of the army who went to the vegetable garden came back, and he heard that someone was a guest, and he didn't eat the meal that had been prepared.
Seeing the wolf that Tang Ding carried back and the pheasant that was placed on the ground, Grandpa Junjun was taken aback, "You didn't pick it up, did you?"
"Well, it's kind of a pick-up, this wolf is biting on the neck of a deer and won't let go, so I picked it up. ”
Grandpa Junjun walked up to the wolf and looked at it carefully with an oil lamp, "This is not a wolf, but a jackal, which looks similar to a wolf, but is one size smaller than a wolf." We also raise chickens in our village, and a few days ago, we always lost chickens, and everyone put the chickens in the pen, I'm afraid it was this jackal who did it. ”
People in the mountains raise chickens freely, and there are not a few families in total, and when it gets dark, the chickens will take the initiative to return to the nest.
"Grandpa, let's eat wild *** I want to eat chicken. ”
Junjun's grandparents were attracted by the wolf that Tang Ding beats, but Junjun was attracted by the pheasant that Tang Ding beat and shouted to eat the chicken.
"You kid, don't be ignorant, this is your uncle's. ”
"Don't, don't, I'm just hungry for meat, if it's not too late, let's stew this chicken, the old man will take me for dinner, I'm very embarrassed, this jackal will be given to the old man." ”
"No, no. Although the grandparents of the army said that they didn't need it, Tang Ding's attitude of sending things was very sincere, and the old man finally accepted it.
It gets dark early in the mountains, so it's not too late, and Junjun's grandmother starts boiling water, plucking the chickens, cutting them into pieces, and putting them in the pot.
The flavor of the pheasant is very fragrant and stewed, but it takes a long time to stew.
Taking advantage of this time, Junjun's grandfather also skinned the jackal, smeared salt on the skin, and prepared to dry.
Tang Ding saw that the old man's peeling technique was clean and neat, "Old man, your skills are good?"
"Hehe, people in the mountains, generally hunting, used to wander around the mountains, but in the past few years, the legs and feet are not dexterous, so I can't go, otherwise it is not difficult for the child to eat a game. ”
"Oh, the old man is still a good hunter. ”
"Hehe, you can't talk about a good hunter, people in the mountains often go hunting, but over the years, the management has been strict, and you don't let you hunt casually. ”
"The chickens are fine, wash your hands and eat. Junjun's grandmother shouted in front of the stove.
During the meal, Grandpa Junjun also deliberately took out his large barrel of liquor and drank a few glasses with Tang Ding. The army happily nibbled on the fragrant pheasant meat.
"By the way, Xiao Tang, when you didn't come back just now, I had already packed up the East Wing for you. ”
"Okay, thank you, old man. ”
"Junjun, is it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious, the last time I ate meat was when my parents came back for the Chinese New Year. If Mom and Dad were at home, they would be able to eat this pheasant meat. ”
"Eat more if it's delicious. Tang Ding touched Junjun's head.
"Eat too, young man. ”
The mountain people have the unique hospitality of the mountain people, and they are not like the city people who guard each other against each other, which makes Tang Ding feel warm, but Tang Ding sees the pain hidden in his eyes on the faces of the military grandparents.
"Old man, do you have anything difficult to solve? Why don't you tell me if I can help?"
