Chapter 40: A Tough Delicacy

Swimming to the shore, Dekang first pulled off some thin ice, and then hugged Baoyue and asked her to hook the bumps of the riverbank: "Baoyue." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Hold on, the second brother will go up first to help you dig a snow cave. ”

After speaking, Dekang hooked the rock crack on the shore, and his lower limbs kicked the water violently.

He shook his tail vigorously and put down the Excalibur he was carrying, while shaking his whole body vigorously to shake off the water droplets on his body as much as possible; Then roll on the spot, fall on your back on the snow and twist your body from side to side, rubbing off the water droplets on your back and ribs, and finally lying on the snow and shaking back and forth, rubbing the water droplets on your abdomen.

After doing these steps, Dekang once again used all his strength to shake his whole body, once, twice, three times, and eventually, the remaining water droplets and snowflakes were basically shaken to the ground.

Dekang jumped out of two or three positions lightly, quickly dug two small snow holes on the spot, and then he ran back to the shore, hooked Baoyue's forelimbs and made her almost fly up from the lake.

As soon as he landed, Dekang quickly ordered: "Baoyue." Shake your whole body vigorously and shake a few more times. ”

As soon as the water came out, Baoyue was obviously not used to the cold winter of Altyn, her body shrunk into a ball and began to tremble, seeing that the second brother's expression was more nervous, Baoyue shrunk her neck and looked at him puzzled, and spread her limbs and shook vigorously according to Dekang's instructions.

Gradually, his body stretched out, and after shaking for a while, Dekang looked at it and couldn't shake the water droplets anymore, so he took Baoyue to the two small snow caves, pointed to a snow cave, and said, "Get into it, roll, rub, rub your back and abdomen." ”

Rolling around in the snow cave is one of the fun things that all the little cubs are most happy to play, and Baoyue's little face blooms with a smile, and she jumps in and rolls with a scream, while her limbs kick wildly, and the sound of giggling laughter keeps coming from the snow cave.

Treat the harsh survival as a play, maybe the cubs can do better than expected.

After playing for a while, Baoyue was a little tired, lying in the snow cave and only panting.

Dekang bent down and picked her up with her head outwards and buttocks inside and put her into the snow cave next to her, and then his body pressed against the snow cave, and in an instant, the small snow cave collapsed, and Baoyue's whole body was buried in the snow cave, leaving only a small face exposed.

"Second brother, why did you bury Baoyue?" Baoyue asked with wide eyes.

Dekang let out a sigh: "I just came out of the dark river, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is too big, and Baoyue will be frozen, so the second brother will bury you in the snow cave for the time being, wait a minute, the second brother will find a leeward place to dig a bigger and deeper snow cave for the two of us to live in, and then the second brother will go to find the cave in Lake Belik." ”

Baoyue blinked a few times to show that she understood, and then asked, "Second brother." Where is this? ”

"How do I know, let the second brother take a look."

Out of the dark hole, he has been worried about Baoyue's safety, in order to hurry up and help her get rid of the water, Dekang's attention is completely focused on Baoyue, and he doesn't have the heart to look around at all.

Now that Baoyue is temporarily safe, Dekang got up and looked around: Damn. It's too familiar, isn't this Lake Belik, the closer to the bank of the river is, of course, the west side of the lake, and my cave is at the foot of the mountain not far away.

"Lake Beylik!" They both shouted almost at the same time.

Baoyue was so happy that she wanted to jump, but Dekang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Stay and don't move." The second brother will go back to the cave first. ”

I don't know how many days and nights I have spent in the dark space, how is the situation in the cave now?

Dekang ran along the foot of the mountain with a smoke, and soon came to the familiar rock, the mouth of the cave had long been buried by the blowing snow.

Dekang sniffed in all directions first, there was no special smell, so he walked to the mouth of the cave, pulled a few snow beside the grass mound, the cave was exposed, although the temperature inside could not be compared with the dark space, but it was much warmer than the outside, Dekang went in and picked up the fur of the tracking dog and quickly ran out of the hole towards Baoyue.

When the little cub heard the slight sound of Dekang stepping on the snow, he couldn't bear it anymore: "Second brother." You're back. ”

Dekang put down the tracking dog fur and pulled her out of the snow cave: "Baoyue." Quickly shake off the snowflakes on your body, and the second brother will take you back to the cave. ”

The best anti-freezing measure is to let Baoyue run back by herself, and even slip a few more laps at the entrance of the cave, but the snow is a little deep, Baoyue not only can't run, but also her body will be covered with snowflakes, and finally Dekang wrapped the tracking dog fur around her, and told her to grab the two sides of the fur and carry her back to the cave.

"Baoyue. Running back and forth in the cave, the second brother went to pick up a few pieces of rock mutton and came back. ”

For Dekang and Baoyue, the biggest need at present is to eat a fat meal of rock mutton and sleep for a few days and nights.

I ran to the place where the mutton was buried and quickly pulled away the snow and thin sand, and found that there was only one leg of mutton, two ribs and a sheep's head left, all frozen like stones.

The sheep's head is left for emergencies, and the remaining three pieces of delicacies are all taken back, this time they have to make up for it, and then sleep well, and have enough physical strength to go out and continue hunting.

Dekang pulled a layer of sand and snow to cover the sheep's head, and then pulled some snow to cover the meat to prevent the eagle from stealing food, and then picked up a piece of rib and ran back to the cave.

"Baoyue. It's hot on the body, you don't have to run back and forth, lie on the tracking dog's fur and rest for a while, the exit is very close to the cave, otherwise there will be trouble, the second brother will go and bring back the other two pieces of meat, and we will have a big meal later. ”

ran back and forth two more times, took the other two pieces of rock mutton back to the cave, and saw that Baoyue couldn't wait to lie down next to the first rib and gnaw it, the frozen meat was as hard as a stone, how could the little cub gnaw it, the saliva flowed a lot, and only a few tooth marks were left on the meat block.

"The starving ghost was reincarnated. Don't gnaw indiscriminately, you can't eat frozen things now, wait for the second brother to bite and give Baoyue to eat. ”

Baoyue raised her head and smiled embarrassedly, her saliva sticking to the piece of meat: "Second brother." Why don't you accompany Baoyue, where are you going? ”

Dekang stepped forward and gave her a scalp: "It's so hard to freeze, the second brother can't bite a few bites, I'll go and get the big basin and the sword back, the half of the rock sheepskin is soaked, it's useless for the time being, wait for the second brother to come back." ”

Hearing the big basin, Baoyue's little face began to dance with her eyebrows, and she leaned in and asked, "Second brother." When to go ice skating? Baoyue really wants to play. ”

Dekang hugged her: "Don't worry, when you recover your physical fitness, the second brother will take you to play, now Baoyue will eat a full stomach, and then sleep beautifully." ”

Although Baoyue was a little reluctant, she reluctantly agreed.

Dekang ran out of the hole again towards the lake, staring at the place where he had just climbed ashore, but he didn't see the big basin, he was stunned, and swept around the lake only to find that in order to take care of Baoyue when he went ashore, he didn't drag the big basin ashore by the way, and the big basin was floating on the water near the shore of the lake and went south with the current.

Dekang stopped and scratched his scalp, and now he was a little troublesome: "Jump into the lake and fish ashore, now my own physical strength is not very good, I have just run to warm up my body, if I am frozen again, I am not sure if I can hold it up; If you don't go fishing, the big pot is floating on the surface of the open lake, and the rock sheepskin inside is likely to be taken away by the eagle, and the rock sheepskin is soaked in water, and the smell will spread with the wind, which may attract other predators. ’

After much consideration, Dekang gave up on the idea of jumping into Lake Belik again.

Even if there is really a flying eagle to snatch the rock sheepskin, the big basin is in the lake, he does not dare to fall, at most fly over the big basin and stretch out his claws to take the matter, the big basin will remain in the lake, the current situation, the loss of half a rock sheepskin is acceptable.

Dekang ran to the shore of the lake and put the sword on his back, glanced at the rock sheepskin in the large basin unwillingly, and turned around and ran back.

At the entrance of the cave, Dekang didn't notice the sword on his back, his head got into his body but was stuck outside the cave, just as he hurriedly took off the sword, Baoyue, who was lying in the depths of the cave, heard the movement and ran out, she looked for it at the entrance of the cave, looked around a few times and didn't find a big basin, and looked at Dekang suspiciously.

"The big pot has drifted into the lake, and we have to wait a while to get it back to the south." Dekang scratched his scalp and explained.

Baoyue's small mouth turned up a little: "Second brother." Will it be snatched by some bad guy. ”

Dekang pretended to be confident, pointed to the lake and said, "No." We are so close to the lake here, if a bad character comes over, the second brother must know about it, and he won't fix him. ”

Baoyue stared at the surface of the lake, indeed, they were on a high place, and there was something nearby that could not escape their ears and eyes.

Regarding the Flying Eagle, it is absolutely impossible for Baoyue to know now, this is beyond the scope of Dekang's attack, in case the big pot is really overturned by those bastards, there will be an explanation at that time.

No matter how bad it is, it's a step.

After coaxing Baoyue back to the cave, their eyes were firmly fixed on the rock mutton, and the saliva at the corners of their mouths flowed out unconsciously.

Dekang pounced on both sides of the ribs with his forelimbs, first hooked out a thin layer of lanolin on the side with his front teeth, then bit it tightly with his cracked teeth and tore it off, turned his head and opened his mouth to swallow the lanolin fritters into his mouth and chew them.

Frozen mutton fat has a unique feeling in the mouth.

When swallowed, it is hard and hard, and it has a crunchy texture when chewed, like a piece of cream breaded in an ice cube, and finally stretches its neck and mouth, and the fat and oily mutton fat flows down the mouth to the stomach.

There was a period of stomach cells that had not been fed day and night, like a bloodsucking worm that was about to die of thirst, instantly absorbed the swallowed mutton fat, and in an instant, all the organs that had not absorbed any energy during the day and night were activated, and the hunger in the stomach suddenly strongly stimulated Dekang's cranial nerves.

Just when Dekang showed his cracked teeth and was about to bite the ribs, he inadvertently swept to Baoyue, who was lying on the opposite side and drooling with his mouth wide open, looking at him pitifully.

'Damn. Dekang almost slapped himself on the scalp.

This first mouthful of mutton fat was originally meant to be chewed for Baoyue to eat, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't control it at all, so he swallowed it without thinking about it.

Dekang was a little embarrassed to look at Baoyue, and quickly pounced on another piece of rib meat and tore off a small piece of mutton fat, ready to chew it warm and feed it to Baoyue.

The little cub thought that the second brother would swallow it again, so he screamed in a hurry, stretched his neck, stepped forward and stared at his mouth tightly, and his whole body shook with the shaking of Dekang's head.

Dekang winked at her and motioned to wait, swallowed the mutton fat in his mouth and opened his mouth to show her and then began to chew, Baoyue was so hungry that he couldn't help it, and pounced on him and shook his forelimbs and whined.

How dare you feed her the frozen food, chew it for a while before opening her mouth, the little cub's little head almost burrowed into Dekang's mouth at the same time, greedily sucking the fat mutton fat, and finally licked his tongue and lips, and finally ran out of oil and water, squatting in front of Dekang and pouting and blinking at him, looking at him with an unfinished gluttony.

"There are only two small pieces in total, and no matter how much the second brother can't change it, Altyn's little fat sheep are like this, unless it is a fat sheep raised by herdsmen, I heard that there are large pieces of fat sheep fat."

"Second brother. Let's go grab a few and come back, okay? The little cub said as he licked his lips.

Dekang slapped his scalp: "It's okay to think about this kind of thing, but if it doesn't starve to death, you are absolutely not allowed to do it, otherwise the second brother will never spare you." ”

Baoyue's mouth curled higher: "Why?" Everyone said that the herdsmen had herds of fat cattle and sheep, and they wouldn't know if they stole a few of them. ”

"Fart. Cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of herdsmen, and they know exactly how much wool they drop. ”

"But 。。。。。。" Baoyue was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Dekang took a few big breaths, calmed down his emotions, and warned her in a soft tone: "Those herdsmen are very powerful, all of them are thieves and thieves, we can steal once or twice in the cold, but are you willing to stop when you taste the sweetness!" After all, you will be caught, the second brother doesn't want to lose Baoyue, so he will definitely not allow you to go against the herdsmen, that's a game of life. They have knives and guns, what do we have, to fight them with teeth and claws? ”

"I say that every time." Baoyue lowered her little head and muttered.

"If you want to go back, the second brother will say that you will come back later; If you want to go a hundred times, the second brother will say that you are a hundred times... Hey, hey, hey... ”

"Stinky second brother." Baoyue jumped up and ran into Dekang's arms.

After making a fuss for a while, Baoyue's anger subsided, and the two of them continued to stare at the rock mutton with wide eyes.

Although the cave was much warmer than the outside, the flesh that was frozen like a rock would take a while to soften, and it was not easy to gnaw on it now.

Staring at Delicious Dry, which was in no way in line with Dekang's character, he bit the edge of the rib with his cracked teeth and gnawed it little by little. Bite down and chew a piece, tear off a small piece and chew a small piece, only by keeping eating, they will have a steady stream of energy replenishment.

I don't know how long it took to gnaw it, but in the end I really gnawed up the ribs as hard as a stone, basically Dekang and Baoyue, you take a bite and I take a bite, and no one eats more.

Of course, Dekang's mouth is relatively large.

After gnawing on a piece of ribs, no one was full, but the body finally got a little heated, Baoyue was also a lot more active, and her little face was obviously ruddy, Dekang decided to go to the lake to see the situation of the big basin and come back to gnaw again.

"Baoyue. The second brother went to the lake to take a look. ”

"Baoyue is going to take a look, too."

Dekang touched her little head: "Don't worry, first raise your body to be strong, there is a chance for you to play." ”

It's just an excuse to go to the lake to take a look, and gnawing off a piece of frozen ribs is not much easier than hunting a rock sheep, especially since you have to chew it warm every time and then feed it to Baoyue, and what you swallow is frozen meat.

At the end of the bite, Dekang's mouth was about to freeze, and his stomach also needed to be digested.

Stay by the fatty mutton, how can you stay up and not eat, come out for a run, take the opportunity to move your muscles and bones, let your mouth, teeth and stomach take a breath.

Seeing from afar that the basin was still floating on the surface of the lake, Dekang still ran straight towards the shore of the lake, which was too short, and he was going to run two back and forth and then return to the cave.

When I got to the shore of the lake, I slowed down and turned around and ran back, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, I was being stared at, and that feeling was very familiar, it should have come from a high place.

Dekang turned and stared at the foothills on the right, scanning every nearby place where his opponent might be hiding, especially the large crevice where there was no snow, and scanned a few back and forth, as if he could find any suspicious characters.

Dekang secretly shouted, 'Oops', this should be targeted by the Flying Eagle, it was the feeling of the three forks, and the physical strength and acuity of the dark space were not fully recovered, resulting in a sluggish reaction this time.

Dekang turned his face sideways and quickly glanced at the sky above Lake Belik out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there was a damn flying eagle with huge wings circling in the air, and it seemed that he had his eyes on the rock sheepskin in the large basin, and also found his whereabouts.

The big basin is more than ten positions away from the shore of the lake, no matter how Dekang howls and roars, it can't stop the flying eagle from swooping down and taking away the rock sheepskin or even the basin together, this situation, even if you have a brute strength, you can't exert a little strength, once the flying eagle is confirmed to be safe, he will soon put it into action.

Dekang hurriedly used his brains to find a countermeasure.

I remember that Ah Da once said that although the flying eagles came and went without a trace, they were not bold characters, on the contrary, they were very cautious when hunting.

Because the prairie herders like to catch the eagle as a pet or hunting assistant, they will often trap the eagle, and over time the eagle will develop a vigilant and suspicious character, even if it sees the prey that can be easily taken away, it will hover for a while, and only dive after making sure that it is safe.

The large basin was more than twenty positions away, and there was half a rock sheepskin inside, and Dekang was now crouching on the back of a sand dune by the shore of the lake, which was a bit like a human trapping a sandgrouse in autumn and winter, except that he had neither a rope nor a net, and was only in a hurry there.

I really can't think of a good way, maybe, I can scare him.

Dekang deliberately straightened his ears and beat his tail horizontally, his limbs were full of strength, and his body contracted slightly, revealing half of his head, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the position of the large basin, making a human trap of a sandgrouse.

This little trick with no chance of winning caused his heart to pound, and he secretly told himself not to look at the flying eagle and pretend to be engrossed in waiting for the prey to come to the door.

After a pause, Dekang glanced at the sky from the corner of his eye, and the eagle lowered its altitude, as if to confirm its route before diving.

At most, he went around one more circle, and his heart suddenly lifted.
