Chapter 16 The Story of the Mountains and Forests
Yu Le didn't think much about it anymore, just concentrated on walking. If you can't even walk the road under your feet, all the insights of life are floating clouds.
In the early morning, it was already about five o'clock.
Fang Yong greeted Yu Le and said, "Xiaole, I've been walking for nearly nine hours, let's eat something first." ”
When Yu Le heard this, his tense heart instantly relaxed, and then he felt a pain all over his body. He gently placed the sleeping fox and his backpack on the grass, and then removed the excess items on his body, stretched his lower limbs, and moved his waist.
Fang Yong looked at the bow and arrow that Yu Le was carrying and asked, "Xiaole, how are you practicing your archery skills?" ”
When Yu Le heard this, he replied a little embarrassedly: "It's okay to shoot chickens accurately at home." ”
Fang Yong asked suspiciously, "Shooting at home?" Archery target? ”
Yu Le explained: "I use the chickens raised at home as live targets. ”
Fang Yong smiled: "Uncle Yu and Aunt Zhang are not angry with you? ”
Thinking of Yu Wenquan and Zhang Jiayi's surprised expressions when they saw them practicing arrows with chickens, Yu Le smiled: "They were all stunned by my archery skills!" ”
Fang Yong thought about the scene where Yu Le was shooting chickens with a bow and arrow at home, and couldn't help laughing.
Yu Le was a little ashamed, thinking that he was indeed a little nonsense.
Fang Yongqiang couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Try it here!" See if you can hit the prey. ”
Yu Le was very excited when he heard this. He walked up a hillside on high ground, and looked around, with a kind of satisfaction of taking in the mountain scenery. Only, where is the prey?
Looking at Yu Le, who had no clue and scratched his ears and cheeks, Fang Yong prompted: "Early animals must like the sun, you can go to a place with abundant water and grass to look for it?" ”
Yu Le heard that it made sense, and he saw a sunny hillside in front of him, so he looked for it.
Sure enough, there were really a few fat rabbits grazing.
Yu Le couldn't help but mourn in silence for these early rabbits. Because everyone says that the rabbit that gets up early has grass to eat, but now it is in danger of being eaten. It seems that I believe that "everyone says", how dangerous life is!
He held a bow in his left hand, pulled out an arrow in his right hand, aimed in the direction, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow swept over the head of the fat rabbit, frightening the rabbit to lie on the ground.
Yu Le also thought that he had shot the rabbit, and he was very happy.
When he wanted to go up and pick up the rabbit, he saw the fat rabbit's head shake from side to side a few times, as if to make sure that he was not dead, he jumped up "teng", and then got into the grass to slip away.
At this moment, with a "whoosh", a long arrow shot out from the side, passed through the eyes of the fat rabbit, and shot it to the ground.
Yu Le turned around and saw that it was Fang Yong who followed, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Fang, let you see you laugh!" ”
Fang Yong stepped forward to pick up the rabbit, pulled out the arrow, and wiped it on the rabbit's fur a few times before putting it back into the quiver.
Handing the rabbit to Yu Le, Fang Yong said calmly: "Your archery skills are too poor, it can be said that you can't count as archery skills at all." In the past few days, I hope you can study your archery skills and try to improve a little. ”
Of course, Yu Le would not refuse, he nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Fang." ”
Fang Yong said: "You first use a knife to clean up this rabbit, and then make a fire to roast the rabbit for a while." I'm going to fetch two more for breakfast. ”
Yu Le nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Fang." After speaking, he remembered that he didn't bring the tools for ignition, and just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that Fang Yong had already walked more than a dozen steps away and was about to shoot arrows with a bow.
Seeing this situation, Yu Le naturally didn't want to bother again, so he had to find a place to clean up the rabbit first.
He used the hunting knife in his hand to cut the rabbit's fur and ripped it off. Open the inner chamber and remove the dirt inside.
Cleaning the hunting knife from the rabbit skin on the ground, Yu Le carried the rabbit to find a place to wash the blood stains on his hands and body.
After wandering around, Yu Le finally found a mountain spring in a mountain forest. After washing the bloodstains, he walked out of the mountains and forests with the rabbits in his hand, only to see Fang Yong carrying two more rabbits in his hands.
He asked, "Uncle Fang, I didn't bring a lighter, how can we make a fire?" Do you want to eat it raw? ”
Fang Yong looked at Yu Le playfully and said, "What, do you like to eat raw?" ”
Yu Le hurriedly shook his head and said, "Just kidding, I haven't eaten raw meat yet!" ”
Fang Yong took out two flints from his bag and found some dry branches and dead grass blades. He struck the flint lightly, and sparks flew everywhere, and soon the withered blades were set on fire.
Looking at the burning flames, Yu Le's eyes were full of novelty and excitement. Whether in his previous life or in this life, he has never played this kind of primitive game, which is really exciting!
Seeing Yu Le's surprised appearance, Fang Yong said: "There is everything in nature, and how to use the gifts of nature to achieve the goal is a very deep knowledge. ”
Yu Le nodded in agreement, then handed the cleaned rabbit in his hand to Fang Yong, took the two rabbits he was carrying, and continued to go to the mountain spring to deal with the rabbits.
Smelling the fragrance of Fang Yong's roasted rabbit, Yu Le asked Fang Yong for a flint, picked up a lot of dead grass and dry branches, and kept colliding with each other to stir up sparks, and after a while, a fire was lit.
Yu Le also built a rack modeled after Fang Yong's grill, passing the rabbit through a thick branch and roasting it on the rack.
Fang Yong's rabbit was quickly cooked, he took out a few cruet bottles from the bag, and while sprinkling the seasoning on the rabbit, he said: "There are all kinds of natural seasonings in nature, and it is not troublesome to make zuò, but we have lost the fun of doing it." You try this seasoning to make a baked food, which is not inferior to what we buy from the store. ”
As he spoke, he handed the roasted rabbit in his hand to Yu Le, and then took the roasted half-cooked rabbit from Yu Le's hand and said, "You must be tired, eat first!" ”
Yu Le still wanted to push, but he felt movement in his trouser leg, and found that the little fox was looking at the roast rabbit with his eyes, and his saliva was flowing out.
He smiled helplessly at Fang Yong, and then tore the rabbit leg meat into thin strips and fed it to the little fox.
Looking at the rabbit that was missing half of it, he felt hungry, and Yu Le was no longer humble, and took the rabbit in both hands and gnawed it.
Yu Le nibbled on the rabbit meat in his hand, looked up, and found that Fang Yong had finished eating a rabbit, which made him admire it greatly.
Fang Yong handed the roasted third rabbit to Yu Le and said, "That rabbit just now, the little fox ate a lot. You can eat this rabbit! ”
Yu Le took the rabbit meat and tore it in half, giving the big one to Fang Yong, leaving the small one for himself.
He said: "The little fox is full, and I'm almost done, so you can eat this big piece of rabbit meat!" ”
Fang Yong smiled, didn't say anything, took the rabbit meat and ate it.
After everyone finished eating, Yu Le found that the oil stains on the corners of the little fox's mouth were really cute.
He was afraid that the little fox would rub the oil on himself when he was playing, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped the oily hair on the corner of the little fox's mouth.
Fang Yong's attitude towards Xiaohu was rather strange, he never took the initiative to approach Xiaohu and kept his distance.
Xiaohu never looked for Fang Yong to play. In fact, when he was at home, Xiaohu only played with Yule, which made the children who often went to Yule's house to see Xiaohu very unhappy and incomprehensible.
Yu Le doesn't think too much. As an earthling, he is lonely when he enters this world.
In his eyes, the little fox lives in the human world because of its injury, and it is also lonely. Probably attracted by the lonely temperament of each other, so they were able to play happily together. They all need to be happy so much!
After breakfast, Fang Yong said, "After a night of rapid marching, we must pay attention to eating and resting, so that we can maintain full body and concentration. Rest for three hours before heading out. ”
Yu Le was already a little tired, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Uncle Fang." With that, he found a stone in the shade of a tree, lay down on it, and soon fell asleep.
Looking at Yu Le's sleeping appearance, Fang Yong nodded. After making some arrangements nearby, he also rested.
Xiaohu watched from the sidelines, lying comfortably on Yu Le's chest and squinting his eyes, but he couldn't sleep, so he worked part-time.
At around ten o'clock, Yu Le was woken up by Fang Yong, and the two of them and a fox started to hit the road again.
The little fox was still lying in Yule's bag, lazily basking in the sun. Yu Le listened to Fang Yong's introduction to the techniques of survival in the mountains, and listened to him introduce the materials that could be used around him, not only ingredients, but also some toxin-containing plants.
Yu Le listened to Fang Yong's explanation, collected some materials, and observed them carefully, keeping in mind their shapes and characteristics.
He enjoyed the trip so much that he fantasized about being able to go on his own in the near future.
