Zhang Xing hurriedly brought in the wolf skin hanging outside the cave, showed it to the stone, and asked him, "Look at it, is it like this?"

The stone turned his head slightly, looked at it carefully, and twisted the wolf skin with his movable hand, and said: "The fur is quite clean, but it still has to be scraped a layer of it, otherwise it is greasy and easy to rot. Remember, you must not bask in the sun again, you must dry in a ventilated place. The last time my dad got that fox skin was also in season, it dried after two days. I guess this will be done in about two days. ”

Zhang Xing said with a smile: "Fortunately, you know that I basked in the sun just now." ”

"I heard my father say that although it dries faster in the sun, it will become very hard, and it will crack easily when rubbed, which is equivalent to a waste of skin. But you've been drying this for a while, and the water hasn't been drained, so it shouldn't matter. Stone comforted.

Zhang Xing took a kitchen knife, spread the wolf skin on a stone, slowly scraped off the grease inside with a knife, scraped it off, and hung it in the ventilated place of the cave.

A wolf skin is definitely not enough, but Zhang Xing also knows that he can't kill a wolf by himself, but he is afraid that he can't even catch the wolf's alien little brother weasel, so after thinking about it, he decided to dig a trap and wait for something to fall into it by himself. But she didn't have any other sharp weapons in her hand except a kitchen knife. This trap digging has to be started after going to the valley.

She began to stir up dried fish and meat. The brook flowed down from the mountains, and it was seldom caught, and there were no fish in it, so she first learned the stones, found a stick, lowered the tip, and aimed at the fish in the river. However, her head is far inferior to a stone, and often only two or three are inserted in a morning or afternoon. Later, I thought of a way, found some branches with good flexibility, made a decent dustpan, and carried it around where the water flowed.

In this way, it is not only trouble-free, but also highly efficient, and in one morning, I caught three or four big fish that are four or five inches long, and as for the small fish, there are actually as many as a dozen. She cleaned the fish, sprinkled them with salt, dried them for a long time, and then took them into the cave and hung them to dry.

In the autumn season, there were countless wild fruits in the mountains and forests, and she picked a lot, and cleared a dry field in the cave, and built a wooden shelf to pile those wild fruits on top. She didn't know if it would be useful for her to do this, she used to see that this is how others stored fruit, but it was a cellar. She's a cave here. But she thinks the principle should be about the same.

When Shi heard that Zhang Xing was going to the valley, he was startled and resolutely opposed her going. That place must be inseparable from the surname Meng, it is heavily guarded, there are countless people and horses, she wants to go over, isn't that just throwing herself into the net?

Zhang Xing wasted some tongues, and finally did his job - she originally relied on her mouth to eat, and persuasion was her strength.

So when the day was not completely bright, Zhang Xing set off, because he had walked twice, he didn't take many wrongful roads along the way, and he went to the edge of the valley when the sun was about to set. Her cat waited in the grass, watching the people in the training ground gradually disperse, the camp was densely lit with lights, and the smoke of cooking rose to the south.

She shifted her place and felt south. When I arrived at the place, I found that several camp tents here were separated from others, and there were more than ten cauldrons in the open space, and people were shuttling back and forth, a hot scene.

She didn't dare to get too close, just waited quietly. The dish came out of the pot, put it into several large basins, and was dragged away by several wheels.

In the middle of the moon, more than a dozen cauldrons finally stopped, and the fireheads set up a large table in the open space, gathered in a group, and drank the cups back and forth.

Only then did she quietly approach, and when she saw the opportunity, she felt into a large tent, although there was no light in the tent, but the outside was brightly lit, and she could see it inside. On one side is a large bag of various seasonings, on the other side is a pile of radish taro and other ingredients on the ground, and on the top are dried fish and dried meat.

Zhang Xing hurriedly took out her own baggage, looked at the same and took the same, and it didn't take long to fill a heavy bag, she was looking for a tool to dig the earth, the noise outside suddenly stopped, and a sycophancy sounded, and said: "Master Liu, why are you here?" Zhang Xing hurriedly stopped, opened the curtain and opened a small crack to look outside.

The fireheads who were eating around a table all stood up, and they walked over in the direction, the first one was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long body, with clear eyebrows, one hand behind his back, the other hand flat, and a warm smile, stopped the firemen who were about to get up to greet them, and said, "What are you eating, what are you all doing when you stand up?"

The other, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was young but also handsome, smiling at the crowd of people eating and drinking.

Seeing the two people who came, Zhang Xing's heart couldn't help but sink, she didn't know the young one in the back, but she had seen the one in front. In the courtyard of Lihu Mountain, he was standing beside the second son at that time, he was also dressed in a navy green shirt, with a warm smile, and he didn't know what it was, even a character like Meng Ye was very respectful to him.

It seems that her prediction with the stone was right, and this valley is indeed the same as the group surnamed Meng.

Although the person who came said so, none of the fireworkers sat down, and a pot-bellied fireman even stood up, and said with a smile on his face: "Has Master Liu used it?" Do you want me to fry a few side dishes for you?"

The older boy smiled and waved his hand, and said, "No need, you eat, you eat, old Wu, I'm here to ask you for something." ”

The fireman surnamed Wu smiled and said: "Oh, look at what you said, what does Liu Ye need? Just let the people below come over and say something, I will send it to you as soon as possible, why do you have to run it yourself?"

The older boy smiled and said a few things.

The fireman nodded in a series of rounds and said with a smile: "Yes, yes." Hurriedly wiped a stool with his sleeve, "Master Liu, you sit down first, and I'll fetch it for you." ”

The boy didn't sit down, but nodded at the kid next to him. The kid understood, and hurriedly followed the fireman.

Seeing that they were coming to the tent here, Zhang Xing hurriedly put down the curtain, while packing his baggage, he looked around, wrapped it, and hurriedly hid behind a few bags.

The fireman and the boy came into the tent with their front and back feet. After the fireman came in, he walked directly inside and went straight to the place where Zhang Xing was hiding. Zhang Xing was taken aback. Fortunately, he stopped only a few steps away from her, opened a few bags, and talked to the boy who followed him as he picked and chosen.

After the kid came in, he looked around, touched this for a while, looked at that for a while, and said, "Old Wu, you have a lot of things here." ”

The fireman replied with a smile: "That's it, there are many people, and there are naturally more people to eat." ”

He quickly picked it up, wrapped it in a paper bag, handed it to the kid, and said, "Master Jin, do you think this color is okay?"

The boy surnamed Jin looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, put it away, and said with a smile: "Old Wu, the things you pick are naturally good." ”

The fireman looked at his face carefully, suddenly lowered his voice, and asked, "Master Jin, is the second son better?"

The subordinate surnamed Jin Boy froze for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he squinted his eyes to look at the fireman. The fireman shuddered, looked embarrassed, and after being stunned for a while, he reacted quickly, slapped himself on the mouth, and said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, what are you talking about?"

The boy surnamed Jin smiled and said lightly: "Old Wu, we haven't known each other for a day or two, I'll just say one more word today, you have to lock your mouth, the affairs of a few gentlemen are not the turn of the subordinates to spread nonsense, if it is heard by someone with a heart, be careful of your head, don't make a move that you don't know!"

The fireman nodded and said yes, his posture was extremely low, and he said with a smile: "What Jin Ye preached, what Jin Ye preached." ”

The boy surnamed Jin put away his things and left with the fireman.

After they walked away, Zhang Xing stood up and reopened the few bags opened by the fireman, no matter what it was, he grabbed some of them and put them in his baggage. In addition to many of the ingredients, there were hooks, sticks, and the like, and a rusty crossbow and a few arrows hanging from the side. None of these can be excavated.

After her eyes swirled on the rusty crossbow, she took it off and carried it on her back—although the crossbow was rusty, it might be difficult to shoot people, but it should still be okay to shoot small things like rabbits and pheasants. Although she had never used this thing before, practice makes perfect, and it was still possible to practice a few more times. No matter how bad it is, won't there be a stone, and when he can move, just leave it to him. With his talent, this thing should be a piece of cake for him.

Carrying the bow and crossbow and the burden, she lifted the curtain and looked around, her eyes fell on the spatula in the cauldron, and suddenly it lit up.

When the firemen nodded and sent the people away, she crept out, climbed to the cauldron, smoked the spatula, and quickly flashed into the grass to the side.
