114. Drink wine and eat game
James Glen is not as evil as the legend suggests, it is just one of many canyons on the Australian continent, and it is only because it is located in the Blue Mountains that it is revered.
There is also the mysterious Gongdong Gula natives, Mao has not seen it, and the family has already been demolished and rich.
It was almost noon and they were looking for a campsite.
The choice of campsite is very particular, first of all, it must be well drained, and there is no water depression around, second, it is necessary to shelter from the wind, otherwise you will wake up the next day and find yourself standing naked on the mountain, there must be enough sunlight and not far from the water source, and secondly, the terrain should be high, and natural disasters such as mudslides may occur on the slopes.
In the end, the camp was chosen and settled on a high ground on the edge of the canyon, where the sun was facing north and the sun was facing yin, there was a breeze blowing, and there was a stream not far away. The most important thing is that you can overlook most of the canyon from here, and with the help of telescopes, you can basically know what is happening at the first time.
I brought two double windproof tents, one for the Turks brothers, and one for Wu Di and Xiaopa.
This is a professional camping tent with an air cushion inside, so you don't have to worry about getting wet.
As a veteran, Turks had a wealth of field experience, and under his command, the small plateau was divided into several areas.
There are rules for where to light a fire, where to eat, and where to solve health problems, and strict discipline is the greatest safety guarantee.
Otherwise, the tent would have been burned down by lighting a bonfire, and the people would have stared wide-eyed.
This deer alone was not enough for the four men to fill their stomachs, and they had to eat as many meals as possible so as not to go hungry in case of accidents.
There were hares in the woods below the highlands, and Emperor Wu took Lao Xue and the Howling Sky Dog down to catch a few.
Turks set up his tent at the camp and set up different areas. Brady and Patricia go to the river to fetch water. This can be done alone, but after the crocodile incident, they have some scruples.
People fetch water from the river, and they drink water from deer and cows, and they will be targeted by predators lurking around at any time.
Patricia is a good scout, and there should be no problem with Brady, who has a lot of cooperation with him.
Emperor Wu felt that he was carrying a crossbow and carrying a lynx and a hunting dog.
The slogan of a mobile game in China is "A dog at the beginning, and the rational use of resources is the key to survival." ”
Emperor Wu not only has a dog, but also a lynx, one left and one right, two protectors, very similar to the taste of a lonely hero in the apocalypse.
Australian hares are really overflowing, and they can't eat them all, and Emperor Wu feels that he can kill a bunch of them with a random arrow.
When he arrived in the forest, he didn't need Emperor Wu to do anything at all, he only needed to sit on the stone and bask in the sun.
In a few moments, the two protectors would bring the fat hare in front of him.
The boss doesn't work, and the task is to supervise the work of the employees and encourage them, so Emperor Wu smiled and touched the heads of the Howling Heavenly Dog and Lao Xue.
Emperor Wu returned to the camp with five fat hares, and Turks had already set up his tent and was setting up a pot to light a fire.
"Brother Fetch Water hasn't come back yet, I guess there won't be an accident. Emperor Wu asked casually, and then he stood on the edge of the high ground with a telescope and looked around.
Brady and Pa chatted on the riverbank, and Brady danced and began to give a speech.
Tex shook his head, "This guy grew up like this. ”
Emperor Wu picked up a sniper and fired a shot at the open space dozens of meters next to them, which frightened Brady into the bushes with a big jump, and began to shout after seeing Emperor Wu, which was quite funny.
The two of them came back with buckets and picked up some firewood by the way, Emperor Wu had already stripped the hare of essence, drained the blood, and was almost ready to go to the pot after cleaning up the internal organs.
At this time, the sun is the most poisonous time of the day, but fortunately, their position is not shining for the time being, and when the sun moves, they will have already finished eating game and taking a nap.
The barbecue stall made by Emperor Wu and Tex is very primitive, there is no elaborate small aluminum oven here, and a bonfire stand is built with stones.
They brought plenty of condiments to satisfy the different tastes of the four people. Emperor Wu's taste is more Chinese, Tex's preference for plain pieces of meat, Pa's more balanced, and Brady's lover of American condiments, ketchup, lemon juice and the like.
Emperor Wu kept brushing oil on the meat rack, and the fragrance quickly wafted out.
A large piece of venison is passed through by Turks with a smooth twig, smeared with spices, and roasted over a campfire.
The four big rabbit legs were roasted and yellow, bright and attractive.
Brady was already drooling, so he opened the small iron bottle he was carrying and took a sip of wine.
"Enjoyable trip to the Blue Mountains, back to Bendigo I have to tell everybody. Brady wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth.
When she's not working, Patricia likes to fiddle with that sniper rifle. Along the way, he changed from hating hunting to being a hobbyist.
"Guess what I saw? a goat!" shouted Pa excitedly.
"Look at our food, five hares and a wild deer, which is enough for us to eat until nightfall, and not to beat the goat's attention. Turks admonished.
"I'm just talking about it. Pa continued to look through the scope of his sniper rifle to see below the high ground.
Animals come to drink from time to time on the banks of the river, but there are no deer herds, probably because their compatriots are buried there.
Emperor Wu wanted to make a rabbit broth out of rabbit meat pieces, so he borrowed a small pot from Uncle Berkeley before entering the mountain, which was just enough to hold four bowls.
The method is also very simple, after the water is in the pot, the rabbit meat is poured directly into it, and then there are condiments such as green onions, ginger, refined salt, etc., Emperor Wu also brought yams, cut them into pieces and threw them in, the taste will not be bad.
"Cheers! South Australian brothers!"
After the meal began, Brady was the first to raise the iron wine bottle.
Each holds a rabbit leg, and on a plate in front of them is a medium-rare venison cube.
The four of them raised their glasses and drank together on the high ground of James Canyon, took a sip of wine and raised the tender rabbit meat, and took a big bite, which felt super refreshing.
Emperor Wu realized the subtlety of Brady's saying that "a good hunter only eats wild meat".
Pa's feeling is that hunting is such a thing, and if you experience it once, you will become addicted.
The air quality in the Blue Mountains is so good that Emperor Wu, an outsider, can't help but take a few more sips.
After devouring a meal, Emperor Wu opened all the windows of the tent and lay down in it to rest.
The campfire was still burning next to him, and Turks played his harmonica, his best instrument.
Brady teaches Pa how to use snipers, and he has a good black gun.
"It's that goat again, and it's going to fall under our guns today. Brady looked through his binoculars at the woods below.
The sheep didn't seem to be very afraid of life, and swaggered to graze, looking very arrogant.
"How about a roast lamb leg tonight, I bet it tastes good." Brady encouraged Pa to shoot.
"Hey fatty, don't teach you bad Pa, it's not night yet, you don't need to kill that sheep. Turks said back.
Emperor Wu was about to fall asleep in a daze, tossing all morning, tired enough.
Rumble!
Then Brady laughed sheepishly.
This guy took advantage of Xiaopa's necessity and pulled the trigger.
The bullet was impartial and happened to hit the wild goat.
"Shet! sharpshooter!" Brady excitedly took Xue and the Howling Dog down to pick up sheep.
Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed that something was wrong with the goat, and two wild men appeared next to him, no, they were native!
"Hey guys, look what I found!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bow and arrow were shot into the campfire in front of Brady, and the arrow was smeared with something, and the bonfire turned from a small flame to a large fire in an instant.
"Fake!" Brady broke out in a cold sweat, and Emperor Wu and Tex rushed over when they heard the movement.
A dark brown man with a colorful face was seen walking up to the high ground with a bow and arrows in his hand, his expression was very angry, and his mouth was speaking an incomprehensible language.
Emperor Wu thought it had something to do with the goat, but fortunately it was an indigenous and easy to deal with.
Ten seconds later, he realized that he had been wrong, and a dozen natives surrounded him, each armed with a bow and arrow, and a spear. Among them, there is also a beautiful woman with a high appearance.
The beautiful woman walked over and spoke in authentic Australian English, which startled them, and now the cultural level of the indigenous people is so high?
"You have to pay the price for shooting our tribe's totems. The beauty's expression was serious.
I'm not right, it's just a goat, just say it, don't scare people with the title of totem. Besides, there's no evidence that the goat belongs to you, do you write your name?
Emperor Wu could only complain in his heart, facing ten bright spears and ten big men who were stronger than Turks, they could only admit that this mold was moldy.
Fortunately, they didn't see it when they were hunting deer just now, otherwise the animals in the entire canyon would have belonged to their family.
