Chapter 54: Wild Cherry
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Python predation, generally based on heat sensing, catches live creatures. And Li Qingyun's wild dog corpse hanging on the branch has long been cold, if it is eaten by a python, it will be a lot of fun, indicating that this huge python has lived for a long time and has other predatory abilities.
Li Qingyun remembered that most of the pythons in the nearby mountains and forests were five or six meters long, and it was extremely rare to see a big guy like this about ten meters, at least he had been into the mountains with his grandfather many times before, and he had only seen one. It was deep in the mountains, in the dense forest near the Lotus Peak. The chance of encountering such a big python in a mountainous area like this is too small.
Of course, there are other possibilities, if other beasts of prey are hiding nearby and stealthily take away the carcass of a wild dog hanging from a man-high branch...... This place is even more dangerous, and to be able to steal the carcass of such a tall wild dog, it must be a large cat, such as a leopard and a very old bobcat.
A gust of wind blew, Li Qingyun shivered, and felt that it was still impossible to be naked, so he hurriedly ran back to the tent and put on his clothes. Maybe it's not the cold, it's the fear.
Michelle didn't leave an inch, and followed Li Qingyun's side, for fear of being attacked by an unknown monster hiding in the dense forest. Even if there is no wild beast attack, if you get lost with this man, you will starve to death if you have nothing to eat.
In addition to necessities and first aid, she only had a few boxes of chocolates, a few bottles of multivitamin tablets, and a small amount of beef jerky and canned food. The vast majority of food is with military drivers. If it weren't for Li Qingyun providing game, she might have gone hungry this morning.
"I don't know where the others are now? Do you think we're going back, or are we going on?" Michelle saw that Li Qingyun was dressed, so she hurriedly packed her backpack and prepared to leave.
After a few gusts of wind, the rain gradually faded, and the gold and copper coins did not seem to feel the danger and played near the small bamboo hut. I caught a gray four-legged snake, and two unscrupulous hounds used it as a leather ball, you kick it, I kicked it, and tortured this fast-moving four-legged snake to the point that it had no strength.
Li Qingyun looked up at the sky, with a hint of joy on his face, and replied: "Those people jumped down the hill with us, and if they roll to the bottom of the mountain, they will leave the canyon from the gentle slope on this side just like us." If we go forward, we can definitely meet them. If some people roll halfway and climb again, they will continue to follow the trail that has been carved out, and we may meet them as we continue to walk. ”
"As for going back? hehe, I don't know where this road leads, I've lived in Qinglong Town for so many years, and I haven't gone up the mountain from here. This is the first time ......"
The sky was less cloudy, and the whole sky brightened, revealing a pure azure color. This clearly means that the rain clouds have disappeared and the sky will soon clear.
Li Qingyun took out two disposable raincoats from his backpack, put one on himself, and gave Michelle another. It is said to be a disposable raincoat, but it is actually a plastic raincoat, which is made of the same material as a convenience bag, and can prevent the clothes from getting wet when encountering fog or light rain when climbing. If you encounter heavy rain and torrential rain, you can only hehe, and it will not play much role......
After putting the tent away and putting it in the backpack, there was only a slight drop of rain in the sky, and the two puppies barked excitedly, as if they had had enough of the heavy rain.
Before leaving, Li Qingyun walked to the side of the hill again, looking at the canyon under his feet, the flood was surging inside, the waves were very large, and it was impossible to take this shortcut road in a short time, and he didn't know when the water would dry up.
There was no road to the mountain, and it was all opened by a firewood knife, locusts, toads, four-legged snakes, hedgehogs...... There were too many of these things, and Li Qingyun was numb to see them all the way. Luckily, there were strips of cloth wrapped around the junction of the pants and shoes, and white gloves on the hands, which would soon be visible if there were grasshoppers sticking to them.
By noon, the light rain had stopped, and a blush of the sun hung in the sky, and the hazy halo was beautiful. Li Qingyun stood on the top of a small hill with few weeds and breathed a sigh of relief. The way down the mountain looks good, very gentle, biased to the west, there are a lot of weeds, but there are not too many thorny vines and shrubs.
After descending the mountain, there will be a very gentle distance without peaks, so you don't have to work so hard.
Li Qingyun took off his disposable raincoat, put down his backpack, and sat on his backpack to rest. The raincoat had been hung in tatters by the grass and trees, and Li Qingyun tied it up in a ball and put it back in his backpack. It doesn't help if you want it, but you don't want to destroy the natural environment.
Michelle did the same, sitting next to Li Qingyun, panting, and loading the tattered disposable raincoat into her backpack.
Li Qingyun acted like a magic trick, took out two large tomatoes, and gave one to Michelle.
"Just eat something to fill your stomach, and you won't get on the fire at noon. Because there is no game to hunt nearby, there are no pools, and the trees are very wet, so they can't catch fire. ”
Michelle took the tomatoes, her eyes straightened, and she looked at Li Qingyun's backpack with a strange gaze: "How many good things are hidden in your backpack?
"If you have something to eat, you can eat, why do you ask so much? Eat quickly, this is to quench your thirst, and there will be a self-heating box lunch later, to ensure that you can't be hungry." Li Qingyun said, ate the fist-sized tomatoes into his stomach in three or two bites, and took out two boxes of self-heating lunches from his backpack under Michelle's surprised and almost numb gaze.
The self-heating lunch box is the result of the co-reaction between the water bag in the lunch box and the heat agent packed with non-woven fabric, once the plastic strip is opened, the water bag will be broken, and the heat agent meets the aquatic chemical reaction, and the heat agent is evenly dissipated and the heat is up to 12o degrees. After six minutes, the temperature of the eaten meal reaches 55-7o degrees, and then you can eat a delicious meal.
After the heat agent reacts with water, it produces steam that is non-toxic and harmless, and the dishes are diverse, easy to carry and preserve, and it is one of the best choices for close-up mountaineering or wilderness adventurers.
Of course, it has many advantages and disadvantages...... There are not many disadvantages, one is enough, and that is very heavy. The weight of a box is close to 5oo grams, and 1o box is 5ooo grams, which is equivalent to the weight of the entire backpack of ordinary people.
Michelle was no longer able to complain, and she had already been conquered by Li Qingyun's weird backpack. Blowing in the cool breeze and admiring the view below, she took a bite of the tomato slowly and with great grace, then jumped up from her backpack with a scream.
"Oh, dear cloud, are you related to God, and why is everything you take out so delicious?"
Li Qingyun had already opened the lunch box, opened the seal, and began to heat it. He had long expected Michelle's reaction, so he just smiled and said, "I don't know God, and I don't have a dime to do with him." Also, if you get something more delicious from me in the future, don't be surprised, just enjoy it with peace of mind. ”
"Okay...... But I can't help it! It's delicious......" Michelle's eyes were full of happy little stars, for a veteran foodie, being able to eat a delicious taste that she had never enjoyed before was definitely the ultimate happiness.
After a while, the rice and vegetables in the lunch box were already heated, one was plum cabbage and pork, and the other was fish-flavored shredded pork. It smells very good, but when you really eat it, the taste is too far from the game that Li Qingyun made. People have to die more than people, goods have to be thrown away, and they are used to eating delicious things, and then eating these boxed lunches is like chewing wax, which is difficult to swallow.
"God, if I wasn't too hungry, I wouldn't have eaten a bite. Is this really edible? Dear Yun, why don't we change it and eat it? Your portion of fish-flavored shredded pork looks good!" Halfway through eating, Michelle couldn't bear the gap and proposed to exchange lunch with Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun doesn't care, although it's a little weird to eat what the other party has eaten, but the other party is a big beauty, very healthy, and there is no psychological barrier, plus the two have been in close contact for the past two days, and more intimate things can be done.
"Well, for the sake of being able to name the dish in Chinese, I'll exchange it with you." As he spoke, Li Qingyun handed Michelle half of the half-eaten fish-flavored shredded pork to Michelle, and took half of the plum cabbage button meat she handed over.
After eating two bites, the taste is really not good, and it is not spicy, so I can't eat. I had to take out a box of pickled peppers and kimchi from my backpack, put it between the two of them, chew it slowly, and endure the ordinariness of the food.
In the nearby woods, a few flocks of sparrows chirped, and through the dense foliage, they saw an enticing patch of red wild cherries, where the sparrows were chirping, grabbing the fresh fruits that ripened after the rain.
"Wow, this is delicious! It's sweeter than the ones we grow ourselves at the bottom of the mountain! I'll pick some and come back!" Li Qingyun ran into the middle of the forest with a boxed lunch, and drove away the sparrows in the forest.
"Go back after eating the boxed lunch!Cloud, be careful of the mountain locusts in the forest!" Michelle shouted outside the forest, not seeing what Li Qingyun was doing inside. But it didn't take long for Li Qingyun to run out with a handful of red cherries and place them on a few broad leaves for Michelle to taste.
"Taste it, it tastes very good, not much worse than the tomatoes just now. I've eaten it in the tree, you don't have to keep it for me. Li Qingyun had actually dug up the two wild cherry trees and moved them into a small space.
Michelle ate a few cherries and nodded, but shook her head again, her expression a little contradictory.
Li Qingyun said strangely: "What's the matter? This is my favorite fruit when I was a child, and I'm still very excited to see it now." I remember going into the mountains with my grandfather before, and in order to pick a few more wild cherries, I was almost bitten by a bamboo leaf!"
Michelle struggled to explain: "Sour and sweet, with a faint fruity fragrance, it is the best cherry I have ever tasted." But...... Compared to the tomatoes you gave me, I always felt that something was missing. I feel that the tomatoes or cucumbers you give me have a burst of energy, and after eating, the whole person is refreshed, and the taste also has that energy, which can make their aroma different from other fruits and vegetables. The scent is so special that I can't describe it in words......"
Li Qingyun laughed secretly when he heard this, isn't it just that there is a lack of aura, the things in the small space are extremely aura, how can the melons, fruits and vegetables grown outside have such a strong aura? It is really very difficult to make a foreign girl explain this matter clearly. However, Michelle's use of "energy" instead of "aura" is also very appropriate.
