The one hundred and third day, the prey and the new crisis
I woke up early today, but my body still felt very tired, so I woke up and lay on the futon and began to remember what happened yesterday. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yesterday the three of us were lucky, and we came back unscathed, and the crocodiles seemed to have eaten enough and did not chase us, but because of nervousness and fear, we kept our nerves through the most dangerous part of the country.
After returning to the tree house, Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen had already prepared dinner and waited for us, and they also had a bumper harvest, not only the planned wild vegetables, but also coconut crabs and wild birds! The birds were shot down by Brother Qian with the bow and arrow I made, and the coconut crabs were caught in the holes at the edge of the tree roots, so many harvests were completely beyond everyone's expectations.
These two unknown wild birds are quite fat, Brother Qian has already cut them into pieces and fried them, a whole big pot, it looks oily and shiny, and it is all fine meat, and the strong fragrance is like a cat's claw scratching his heart. I can't wait to pounce on it.
However, we still have a lot to do, and the fish we bring back will all stink if they are not disposed of as soon as possible, and they must be washed, salted, and dried. Fortunately, Ye Qingchen, this kid is more clever, and when he saw that we were all tired, he let me and Midakang rest in the tree house, and he and he went to the river to clean up these fish at half past one with great energy.
When they came back, they also brought a not-so-very good news, the river was about to dry up, and several sections of the upstream had been completely depleted! Ye Qingchen said this, I also suddenly remembered, and by the way, I told them about the source of the river and the structure of the mountain, it seems that we should prepare and reserve more water.
Otherwise, if it is sunny for the next ten days, as long as the last of the water stored in the mountain is gone, there will really be no fresh water. With so many people, it's impossible for them all to rely on that traveler's banana to get water, right?
Of course, this is not possible, the amount of water in the traveler's banana is far from enough, and the woods are relatively dangerous, and they are easy to be ambushed by crocodiles. The five of us still have a great demand for fresh water, so after discussion, we decided to fill all the containers that can hold water first, and then burn a few larger water tanks later.
This time, you can make full use of this earthen stove, fire some large water tanks, and cover them with a branch board made of one and a half points, which can be used to store water. The weather has been a bit unusual lately, it has rained at this time of year, and it hasn't rained for so long. Could it be that this place also has a rainy season and a dry season? Unlikely, right?
Thinking of this, I also suddenly thought of crocodiles, I wonder if crocodiles are just because there has been no rain for a long time recently, there is relatively not so much food, and the puddles of activity are gradually getting smaller, so they will forage around! I don't know if this guess is accurate. But if that's the case, they'll come here sooner or later! Thankfully, we've done all the traps. If they dare to come to this place, I am sure that death awaits them.
After the fish was salted and hung up, we began to really sit down. Originally, Brother Qian had already made several dishes, including stir-fried wild birds, stir-fried crab meat, coconut crab and wild vegetable soup, and one I don't know what it was! It was a bit black and blue, it looked like a cold salad, and I also leaned over to take a closer look at it, and I really couldn't recognize it. In addition, because we also brought sharks and many other fish back, in order to treat everyone and eat while they were fresh, Brother Qian made all the fish again.
While doing it, he explained: "Although this is a juvenile shark, the meat is relatively old, so it is not suitable for soup, so it can be braised and eaten after being cut into pieces." Shark fin hasn't been processed yet, so it's not delicious, but it's better than nothing, and it can be used to make soup with other marine fish. It's good to use it to make it fresh. ”
Soon, the shark was processed by Brother Qian, and after a few steamed sea fish, we started to eat it. The dishes on this table look really tempting.
"Brother Qian, what is this?" The turquoise salad is very refreshing in the mouth, a little bitter, but a little sweet after eating, the taste is a little indescribable, but it is very comfortable. So I'm very curious, I don't think I've ever seen this thing before!
"This is called lichen, it is very common, we all eat it in our hometown, but the lichen here is fundamentally different from the appearance of my hometown, and we only dared to eat it after Ying Yuefeng confirmed it. How's it going? Doesn't it taste good?"
"Yes, the taste is refreshing and very delicious. I nodded and replied. This thing is really good, I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten vegetables for a long time, I think the wild vegetable and crab soup is much more delicious than the sea fish soup, and I drank it in three bowls at once.
In addition, the wild birds are also very delicious, although there is a little bit of a smell, but overall, it is very delicious. "Brother Qian's bow and arrow is still handy?Have you played with bows and arrows before?" I was also curious, so I asked Brother Qian casually.
"Not to mention, it's not because I'm good at archery, it's because this bird is more daring, and doesn't like to fly, and likes to drill in the grass of the woods. I'm only five meters away from one of them, and it's not afraid, so do you think I can't miss it? The other one is about the same distance...... Brother Luo, do you still think my archery skills are good?hahaha" Brother Qian turned his head with a smile.
"Of course, this is also a ability! Maybe there are few people in this place, and this bird may not see us as a threat, so it doesn't care at all, and when it comes to talking, this bird tastes really good. As I was saying this, I ate three more pieces of bird meat.
"It's good to like to eat, we passed by there today, we saw a lot, and we were worried that it was not delicious, so we only caught two, you like to eat, then I will rest assured, next time I will go and get some back." None of this is a problem. ”
……
After saying these few words, everyone began to eat with their heads covered again, you know, the five people didn't have much rest today, especially the three of us, under the psychological and physical pressure, we were already tired and wanted to sleep.
If we weren't attracted by so many delicacies, we would probably have taken a few bites and gone to bed. I won't talk about fried crab meat, I think if I can, I can eat this pot of fried crab meat alone. It's tender and fragrant, the key is this dry fragrance after being fried!
After opening your mouth to eat a bite of crab meat, you can experience an unparalleled sense of satisfaction, the original whole crab meat, as soon as it falls on the tongue, you only need to close your mouth, gently sip, no need to work on your teeth, these crab meat will melt at the tip of the tongue, from a whole, into countless strips of small minced meat. At this moment, you can feel it with a few gentle chews with your teeth, dry and fragrant, fresh and soft...... All kinds of positive experiences erupt like volcanoes on the tip of the tongue and throat.
For me, food should be tasted and felt slowly, and every food, like people, will have a unique character, and if you swallow dates, it is not called tasting at all, but foraging!
Seriously, the braised shark meat is really hard to eat, very rough, and has a slight smell, which is really not bad, but even so, this large pot of shark meat has been eaten by a few of them.
In the words of Brother Qian, although the fish is a little rough, it is at least better than eating fruit, which is not rough in the mouth, and it is good to be full!
The meal lasted for nearly an hour, and we executed the disc plan perfectly, leaving nothing left, and all of it was divided among five people! You know, the three of us had been hungry all day, and we didn't eat lunch, and we were tired and tired, so of course we could eat.
Later, after chatting for a while, everyone went to sleep, and there were dense traps around them, so no one was arranged to keep vigil this time, and I believe that nothing will be able to break through these traps and rush in.
Before I went to bed, I wanted to study the notebook of my former master, but I was so sleepy, I just lay down on the futon. Blackie and Lightning had already come up to sleep first. It's also very self-conscious.
I've been busy lately, so I haven't paid much attention to the two of them, but the lightning has grown very quickly every day, you must know that it was only a little bigger when I first came here, and now it is at least twice as big as it was at the beginning. This is something I didn't expect. And to my surprise, Lightning was still very kind to me, I just touched Lightning head, it woke up, and arched my hand with its nose.
I always thought that Lightning wouldn't be as smart as Blackie, and that it wouldn't remember me when it grew up, but who knew it was still so intimate. It was quite unexpected.
After lying down, I felt that my whole waist was particularly sore, and I didn't feel so smooth about everything recently, and the shadow of crocodiles has been floating in my mind, these crocodiles are like a big mountain, pressing on my heart......
……
Because I went to bed early, I woke up now, what happened yesterday, I have recalled, at this time, the sky outside is also a little cloudy, I was just about to get up to go outside to breathe, but I heard a noise outside, it should be their voice.
"Knock knock!" Before I went out, someone knocked on the door, I pulled the door and saw Ye Qingchen standing at the door.
"Brother Luo, the trap!!The trap has caught a lot of things!" Ye Qingchen told me excitedly.
"Let's go! "Without looking back, I ran towards the biggest trap, for I saw several of them gathered around it.
"What is it?" Before I arrived, I began to ask aloud, "Is it a honey badger, or a boar?" or a crocodile?
But looking at their faces, it's pretty good, and it should be rewarding! Soon I fell to the edge of this big trap! I leaned over to take a look, and obediently, there was actually a crocodile in it!
Although we all thought that there might be a crocodile near here, but we didn't expect it to be so fast! This crocodile is about four meters, and logically speaking, this pit is only two meters, it should not be able to stop it, right?
However, after I looked at it from a different angle, I understood that this crocodile was still quite unlucky, and it would be nothing for them to simply fall, but after it fell, it was actually pierced in the eye by the sharpened branches at the bottom of the pit. The branch is still very long, close to fifty centimeters, and it should be at least thirty centimeters to pierce into it. Some of the other branches could only leave some scars on its body.
Maybe it was really its bad luck that its life was ended by this branch. I guess the crocodile was struggling after it fell, but the branch was hard and the other half was stuck in the soil at the bottom of the pit. The more it struggled, the tighter it struggled, the more the branches stirred in its eye sockets, and it was probably this that eventually led to its death.
Although the crocodile is a ferocious demon, it is also full of treasures, and its teeth, skin, and flesh are useless. It's a bonus.
After reading this, we have looked at the other traps as well. It's really a bumper harvest!
The honey badger caught one, presumably hanging upside down with a lasso, and it looked miserable, but I knew that once I put it down, it would be alive again.
There are more and more snakes again, and the largest snake looks to be at least seven or eight pounds, desperately spitting out letters and staring at me, of course, it is also afraid that I will slaughter it.
There are quite a few others, the slate is pressed all the way to the rat, which looks a little like a vole, and there are coconut crabs, lizards, frogs, you name it. Most of the traps have been broken beyond repair.
Most of the traps have to be redone once. The honey badger is a little smelly, and I'm also raising it, so it's a love house and a black one. I didn't feel sorry for this honey badger that I caught, and just let it go. Originally, I was going to let go of the vole, but Brother Qian said that they like to eat, okay, then keep it for you, I have no appetite at all when I see that thing.
In addition, there are the eight snakes, for us, we have seen a lot of snake meat, and we don't want to eat it so much, but the food in hand cannot be wasted, and finally everyone decided to throw away two of the eight snakes, and the rest can be boiled into soup.
The two coconut crabs can be caught, and everyone didn't expect that the coconut crabs were caught in two soil pits, which Ye Qingchen made, only about thirty centimeters wide, about half a meter deep, this coconut crab is also quite good at drilling holes, I guess they may think they have found a new nest, and then desperately drill into it at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be just a life......
Like those lizards, frogs and whatever, a few of them are not interested, of course I am not interested, I have been afraid of those frogs and toads since I was a child, but snakes don't think there is anything to be afraid of......
"Look, there's still a footprint here!" Ye Qingchen shouted behind me!
