027. Alan's Little Remembrance
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled a few rays of sunlight through the dense foliage, but it was blocked by the vines that were entrenched in the trees like dragons, and by the time it fell on Alan and the others, there were very few.
It took most of the day to walk from the outside to the inside, and the changes in the forest made Alan feel deeply.
"Young master, the foothold of the preparation is just ahead. ”
Alan looked in the direction Hermit pointed, only to see the stone wall covered with vines and moss, there was no so-called hole at all, and instinctively wanted to ask, but held back when he spoke.
Hermit's strength may not be strong, but he has a lot of experience in the jungle, how can the hiding place he prepared make it easy for Alan to find?
Sure enough, Hermit led Guy to an inconspicuous corner on the far right of the stone wall, and cautiously lifted the vines above it, removing a half-man-high rock out of the way.
Behind the rock, an oval-shaped hole came into view.
"Awesome, dude!"
Cobb exclaimed and hurriedly approached him, but after carefully examining the entrance of the cave, his face immediately became sad.
"This hole is so small, I can't get in!"
Cobb wasn't just tall, he had big shoulders and a round waist, and he crouched down just enough to plug the hole.
This was also the most miscalculation of Hemmit, he never thought that there were people as strong as barbarians in Musenburg.
"Then you can only climb in and squeeze hard,"
Alan looked at the entrance of the cave and then at Cobb, "If you can't do it, you should keep vigil." ”
"Huh?"
Cobb's life was full of three great pleasures: eating meat, drinking, and sleeping, and the vigil was a particularly painful thing for him.
So when he heard that Eren wanted him to keep vigil, Cobb immediately lay on the ground and drilled into the hole.
Human flesh is elastic, and there will always be miracles when squeezing, just like a woman wearing underwear.
After a while, Cobb patted the ashes on his body and shouted in surprise, "Boss, I'm in!"
Alan and Hermit looked at each other and smiled, and finally bent down and entered the cave.
To his surprise, the space in the cave was the opposite of its entrance, and it was very spacious, more than enough for twelve people.
There are four or five small holes in the stone wall on the right side of the cave, and rays of sunlight shine through the small holes, making the cave more bright.
Through these bright lights, Alan found that there were some charcoal fires in the cave, and not far from the fire were laid with some hay, which must have been the traces left by Hemmit.
The others walked in one after another, and when they saw the scene in the cave, they were a little surprised in their eyes, and they couldn't help but start admiring Hemmit's power.
With a place to stay at night, Locke ordered the guards to bring things in and temporarily store the fur of the black wolf in the jungle according to Allen's instructions.
Once everything was taken care of, everyone started to get busy.
A few guards gathered firewood nearby, and Hemet took Guy and two guards to fetch water nearby, leaving Alan and Dinah sitting on the stones, feeling the smell of the natural oxygen bar.
At night, the sky in the forest is full of stars, and the cave is lit with fire.
At this time, everyone gathered around the fire and chattered about it, glancing at the wolf's legs on the shelves from time to time.
The old hunter had a good handiwork, and at the same time roasted three wolf legs, all of which were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, so that the cave was filled with the smell of hot meat.
In fact, if Hermit had stayed in the forest by himself, he would not have made such a big fuss at all, at most he would have built a pile of dry food and boiled some water.
"Come, young master. ”
Hermit used a short knife to cut a large piece of the roasted wolf's leg and handed it to Allen, who took the meat and took a small bite before nodding repeatedly.
"Your craft is really good. ”
This wolf leg meat is smooth and tender but not too strong, and there is a primitive aroma, which can be called a delicacy.
It's a pity that there is also a lack of spices in it, and it will be a little greasy after eating a few bites.
The guards were not picky, and ate the other two wolf legs in three strokes and five by two, especially Cobb, who licked his lips after eating, obviously unsatisfied.
And although a noble lady like Dinah was already very restrained, she couldn't swallow it after a few more bites, and handed the meat to Allen.
Alan glanced at her, smiled and took out three small bottles from his arms, opened the lids and spilled something from them, sprinkled them on the wolf meat, and handed them to Dinah.
"Taste it. ”
Dinah was now accustomed to believing in Alan, and although she was a little confused, she took back the wolf meat and took a bite.
"Hmm!"
This bite in her mouth made Dinah's eyes light up, and she nodded at Alan repeatedly, "What did you put in it?!"
"Guess?" said Alan laughing, placing three glass bottles in front of Dinah.
While eating wolf meat, Dinah picked up the vial and observed it in her hand,
"Hmm...... The white one should be fine salt......"
"Ahem...... What is this red powder, why is it so unpalatable, give me a saliva ......"
Dinah hurriedly took the wooden cup and took a big sip of water, she just pinched a small pinch of chili powder and put it in her mouth, the taste was naturally unpleasant.
"Eh, this yellow particle looks so familiar, it's quite similar to the one you collected today, it's called ...... Cumin?"
"Well, this is what I collected in the castle grove before, and this red powder is the powder of chili peppers. ”
Alan has missed the barbecue in his previous life for a long time, but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to bake that flavor himself, so he can only silently collect spices all the time.
The exchange between the two attracted Hermit's attention, and he looked at the three small bottles and asked Allen, "Young Master, can you let me try your things?"
"Of course. Eren then handed the spice to the old hunter.
Hermit carefully took the bottle, poured out a little and put it in the palm of his hand, and then carefully sprinkled it on the wolf's leg on the wooden skewer, and couldn't wait to taste it, showing a surprised smile.
"The smell is amazing!"
"If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”
It's not that Alan is generous, it's that he has a lot of chili powder, and he usually sprinkles a little on bread when he doesn't have an appetite.
"Thank you, young master, you are really too generous. ”
Hermit saluted Alan and quickly put away the three vials, which he had never seen like this when he had met the wolves before.
"I really didn't expect that Young Master Allen, you still have research on things like barbecue, it's really amazing. ”
In the face of Hearst's praise, Alan smiled and bowed slightly, but his mind recalled his hometown.
Everyone in his previous life was proficient in barbecue, and Alan was the weakest one.
Just as Alan was thinking back to the past, Hearst suddenly put down the wolf meat in his hand and grabbed the bow and arrow, while Locke on the side also clenched his long sword and made a silent gesture to the guards.
The cave was instantly silent, except for the crackling of firewood in the fire.
Locke slowly got up, slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, and then rushed out of the hole in an instant!
However, there was nothing in the dark jungle outside except for the occasional insect chirping.
At this moment Hemet came out of the cave and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing in the same way.
"What's the situation?" Alan asked, looking at the two of them, "Something just now?"
Locke shook his head and looked at the old hunter.
"If we both hear the movement, then there must be something. ”
Hemmit's brow furrowed slightly, "But none of the traps I set were triggered, and they were probably humans." ”
But the hunters who often go in and out of the Hot Wind Forest know each other well, and the other party will definitely come out to meet him directly when they see him.
"It's okay, if you don't understand, forget it, leave two people out for vigil at night. ”
"Okay, young master. ”
"I also keep vigil with Guy, Guy in the first half of the night, and I am in charge of the second half of the night. ”
Alan nodded, agreed to Hemmett's suggestion, and went into the cave, while Locke immediately arranged for two guards to guard outside.
