Chapter 58: Collusion
I was talking to Tian Xiaxia about mushrooms in the back.
"Yikes!"
Suddenly, Kexin in front of him let out a sharp scream!
We thought she had some accident, so we trotted up.
"What's the matter, Kexin, are you okay?"
The two of us looked up, but for a while we couldn't find a lovely figure.
"Kexin, where are you?" Tian Xiaxia called anxiously.
In the grass more than half a person high, a hearty voice came out: "Come on, Brother Lele, Sister Xia Xia, come on, get the big guy!"
"What big guy?"
We followed the sound and stepped into the grass. I saw Kexin lying on the ground, holding a rope tightly in his hand, and at the end of the rope, there was a little wild boar covered in black hair, which was constantly struggling to resist.
One man and one beast are in a see-saw stalemate with each other.
Fortunately, this is just a little wild boar, not big, twenty or thirty pounds, and there is no strength, which makes Ke Xin use the weight of his body to drag the other party back.
Fearing that my heart would be hurt, I hurried to catch up, and stepped on the boar's neck, and then sat down with my whole ass, and with my hands free, I grabbed its four hooves. I said to Kexin: "Quick, don't get on the ground, take this rope and tie it with legs." ”
"Then you must hold on, I'll be in a hurry with you if you run away!" Kexin was excited and excited, got up, and hurriedly began to tie up the wild boar.
I saw that she didn't tie her properly, so I instructed her on the side.
After some rectification, it was easy to subdue this unruly little wild boar.
Tian Xiaxia watched from the side and said, "Okay, you guys are really not far away, and you can set any wild thing!"
Kexin was very proud, a sweet little face, blooming like a flower, and said, "How is it, admire!"
This ground bow sleeve was designed yesterday when Kexin and I found that there were footprints infested by large animals, and Kexin was not entangled in the design.
I didn't expect to have a harvest so soon.
Because it is a large animal, we made it very large, and the material for making the bow wood is a tough wood the thickness of a child's arm, and the rope is a complete cable.
But even so, at this time, the cable was also bitten off by this wild boar, maybe it was just when it was bitten off and was about to escape, it happened to be bumped, so it was held on to prevent it from escaping.
And I guess it didn't take long for it to step on the cover, otherwise it would have escaped long ago.
At this time, Ke Xin was counting today's harvest on the side: "A pheasant, a civet, two squirrels, a wild boar, and a big toad lost in front." That adds up to six. ”
Then he turned his head and said to me proudly: "How about it, Brother Lele, do you admit defeat or not, you said earlier that there will never be more than five prey, but now there are six!"
I glanced at her: "Even the toad is counted as you, so why do you want to throw it away and not take it back?"
Ke Xin snorted: "Anyway, it's all my set, how can it not be counted." Are you losing and trying to pay for it?"
I said, "If you lose, you lose, what kind of account does it depend on, and I didn't promise to bet anything with you." Isn't it easy to admit defeat? ”
But when I heard it, I was right, but I played tricks on me: "I don't care, anyway, you owe me a bet, and when I think of what I want, I don't care if you want it." With Sister Xia Xia here to testify, if you dare to rely on it, you are not a man!"
I looked at Tian Xiaxia, but she raised her eyebrows at me, and also helped Kexin speak, and said, "Don't worry, Kexin, this guy dares to rely on you, I will come forward to testify to you, and then it will be announced that this guy is not a man." ”
I didn't want to pay attention to these two colluding women, so I picked up the wild boar and said, "Go back, I don't have time on my hands, don't look at the rest of the others, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
Behind, Tian Xiaxia and Kexin, carrying pheasants, squirrels, civets, and a bag of mushrooms, followed from a distance, muttering and muttering, and from time to time launched a string of silver bell-like laughter.
From this malicious laughter, I could guess that these two were speaking ill of me!
It really doesn't make sense.
It's so uncomfortable to be told bad things behind you and not be able to listen to them.
When passing through the bamboo forest, I put down the wild boar and went into the forest to take a look, and only Su Wu and Li Ling were left in the forest, and the two told me that the bamboo shoots in the vicinity had been broken and were being transported back, and now only the two of them were left on this last trip.
I saw that they were carrying a bit of weight, tied with rattan, and both were thirty or forty pounds. I took some of the burden off them, and I didn't carry the wild boar, but grabbed the pig's trotters and carried them away.
Back at the camp, Zhao Chong and the others were already peeling bamboo shoot shells.
I picked up a peeled bamboo shoot and looked at it, and said, "Why are you peeling it so cleanly, there is only one bamboo shoot core left." Remember to keep those tender bamboo shoots, those are the most delicious. ”
Zhao Chong and the others didn't understand, they still peeled the bamboo shoot shell for the first time, knowing that the bamboo shoots had to be peeled before they could be eaten, which was already very good, so they said: "Then how do you say to peel it?"
I said, "When you go to the vegetable market to buy bamboo shoots, do you see that others are peeling them like this, which is not only a waste, but also throws away the best parts." ”
So I picked up another one and showed them: "Look, first of all, the first few bamboo shoot shells are very old, and they have to be peeled off." When you peel off a tender layer of bamboo shoots, you cover this layer of bamboo shoots with your hands, and then peel off the back part of the inedible shell, so that the old shell is removed, and the fresh bamboo shoots can be retained. ”
A few people watched me peel two sticks carefully, and then they also learned it in a good way.
When I teach them, I won't join in the fun. Tell two men to go and boil the water.
"Boil the water, pull the bamboo shoots into several pieces with a knife, cook them in the water, then take them out to dry and dry the bamboo shoots. ”
"This kind of dried bamboo shoots, when you boil the broth in the future, put some down, and the taste will be very delicious. ”
The women were a little greedy and said, "Then can you fry a meal tonight and eat it, and how long will it be dry?" ”
I said: "If you want to eat, your hands and feet will be sharp, quickly boil a few pots out, put them in the pool to soak, this kind of bamboo shoots, I haven't soaked them in a bad taste, it's very bitter, and there are some toxins in it, which is not good for the body." Soak it for an afternoon, and you can barely make it in the evening. ”
When I turned around, I took Kexin to dissect the wild boar and said, "Little hunter, go, take you to the beach to kill the pig!"
Ke Xin threw away the work of peeling bamboo shoots, took a dagger, and chased after me with a fart.
"Stinky Lele, do you really want me to kill it?"
"Not so. Since you want to learn to be a hunter, you can only catch it, but you can't kill it. If you catch something, do you want to swallow it raw?"
"But I don't dare!!"
"Be bold, come on! What I'm teaching you now are all practical techniques, and I'm not by your side in the future, what will you do? You rely on those two men? You're not afraid of being unreliable!"
"Oh, then I'll learn, I'm self-reliant, don't ask for help!"
