Lao Yaozi used a knife to cut the skin of the roe deer all the way down the neck to the tail, peeled off it on both sides, scrubbed the blood in the skin with the snow on the ground, and left it aside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info then he opened the cavity of the roe deer, took out all the internal organs and threw them in the snowdrift, but left the waist, listen to his meaning, the roe deer waist is a great tonic, and it is especially beneficial for men to eat it. Xu Xiaobai didn't understand these doorways, so he only watched him rectify intently.

Lao Yaozi found a rope, hung the roe deer upside down on the tree, controlled all the blood in its body, and then used a knife to slice the meat along the limbs of the roe deer, each piece of meat was a little fat on the lean meat, and after slicing the limbs and the chest, loin and tail vertebrae, about three catties of meat, estimated that it was enough for this meal, so he threw the remaining limbs in the snow and poured the three catties of meat into the boiling water.

Xu Xiaobai suddenly realized and said, "Shabu mutton! ”

The old medicine man glanced at him: "Shabu roe deer meat!" ”

While soaking the meat in the pot, he said: "This roe deer is the old Sanbao of our Northeast, and the meat is the most tendonous." Because the roe deer is always running, the meat on the body is very strong, there is almost no fat, and the lean meat alone tastes firewood, so when we slice the meat, we take the fat under the skin with us, so that it is suitable for fat and thin. ”

Xu Xiaobai saw that the meat began to float on the water, and estimated that it should be cooked, so he found chopsticks from the lunch box taken out by Lao Yaozi to clamp the meat, but was stopped by Lao Yaozi: "You are so easy to cook as robe meat and mutton, cook it for a while." ”

In fact, it's not that the meat is undercooked, but the altitude of the Linhai Snow Field is more than 2000 meters, and it is impossible for the water to burn to 100 degrees Celsius under normal conditions, so the cooking is also slow to cook.

After a few more minutes, the old medicine estimated that it should be ripe, so he picked up a slice of it, soaked it in a bowl with salt grains, and put it into his mouth, and slurped. Xu Xiaobai looked greedy, and also learned that he sandwiched a piece of meat, and shook it in the bowl, the salt grains in the bowl had been frozen into salt crystals in the temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, and were crossed by the steaming robe meat, thawed slightly, and immediately froze again, leaving only a little salt on the meat, Xu Xiaobai chewed carefully, feeling that the meat was extremely fresh, without any excess taste, just its own fragrance and salt.

He and Lao Yaozi were both hungry, and the two of them competed with each other to move their chopsticks and eat the three catties of roe deer meat cleanly, which was the fun. Lao Yaozi took out the three boiled bird eggs at this time, broke them on the eaves of the pot, revealing the crystal clear egg whites, and handed one to Xu Xiaobai: "Have a boiled egg, relieve the greasy." ”

Xu Xiaobai took a bite, the egg was refreshing and tender, the egg yolk was thick and fragrant, and the most rare thing was that the whole egg had absorbed the fragrance of the roe deer meat through the boiling snow water.

After eating all three eggs, Lao Yaozi poured the soup on the ground, boiled a pot of water, and after boiling, he took out a small bag from his backpack, opened it and turned it into a piece of tea cake, broke off a small piece of tea cake, put it in the water, and after a short time it was boiled into a pot of fragrant tea.

Xu Xiaobai took the tea jar and scooped a cup, and took a sip after cooling it down, leaving a fragrant mouth and a strong aftertaste. He doesn't know much about tea, but he also knows that this tea cake is actually ordinary black tea, not the best at all, and the magic is that the tea boiled with pure snow water is so fragrant, which invisibly improves the quality of tea, which has this taste. It seems that good tea also needs good water to match, only the snow in the old forest in the northeast can be boiled with such a taste, no wonder the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived in the Forbidden City, and they wanted to draw water from Yuquan Mountain in western Beijing. The water of Yuquan Mountain is known as the lightest water in the world, because there are the least impurities. Only that kind of water can make the tea that the emperor loved to drink.

After the meal, the old medicine took off the pot and roasted the skin on the fire, and he baked it very carefully, for fear that he would get too close and roast the skin. It turns out that under normal circumstances, roe deer skins need to be dried in the sun for a week to become dried skins and used as blankets, but at the moment, there is no such condition, so the old medicine retreats to the next best thing and roasts the skin with fire. It's just that the skin dried by the fire will still smell like a roe deer, but for people like Lao Yaozi, this is nothing to pay attention to.

It was roasted for an hour, during which Xu Xiaobai was bored, pulling the old medicine and asking questions about what he needed to know to survive in the old forest. The old medicine was in a good mood, patiently explained to him, Xu Xiaobai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and said in his heart that the old medicine was really an expert in surviving in the old forest, and this knowledge was really a precious truth for him to survive here, and he wrote it down with his heart to prevent it from being used in the future.

The old medicine dried the skin, cut a square piece with a knife, extinguished the flames, and very carefully checked whether there were any sparks that had not been burned. Older generations like him are very concerned about the handling of fire extinguishing, because the Xing'an Mountains area is densely wooded, and any spark will cause a prairie fire, and fire prevention is the top priority. Although it is winter and there is a lot of snow in the forest, this fire prevention section should not be taken lightly.

After destroying the sparks, the two found a sheltered rock, Xu Xiaobai set up a tent, Lao Yaozi spread the skin in his tent, and covered his body with three layers of blankets made of unknown animal skins, and then lay down with his clothes.

Xu Xiaobai also entered the tent, at this time the days are short and the nights are long, the sky has been dark, the old medicine said that in the old forest, you must follow the time of the day, people will wake up at dawn, and people will sleep when it is dark, only in this way can you ensure that you have enough physical strength.

Although Xu Xiaobai was dissatisfied with this kind of wasting time to sleep, he thought that this operation was not a matter of one or two days, but a possible year-long trip, and knew that what Lao Yaozi said was reasonable, so he had to follow his orders. He wanted to undress, but Lao Yaozi reminded him: "If there is anything abnormal at night, you still have to get up and dress, then it will be a big deal." We are in the old woods, and we must be able to get up and run away at any time. ”

"Anomalies? What anomaly? ”

Lao Yaozi shrank his head under the skin and said in a muffled voice: "Tigers, wolves, bears are blind, who knows." In the first half of the night you kept vigil and could not sleep, until 12 o'clock you called me, and I will do it for you. ”

Xu Xiaobai was helpless, since he had promised to obey Lao Yaozi's command in the woods, it was naturally inconvenient to refute, so he reluctantly got up, put on his clothes and went outside.

He wanted to make a fire, but before going to bed, Lao Yaozi explained that he couldn't start a fire in the old forest at night, fire prevention was one thing, and more importantly, he was afraid of attracting beasts that shouldn't be recruited. Most of the animals in the old forest are afraid of fire, and will walk around when they see the fire, but the most terrible animal, the wild wolf, is very sensitive to light at night, and will definitely surround the fire when it encounters it. If you are surrounded by wild wolves, according to Lao Yaozi, even if you have three heads and six arms, you will definitely end up with no bones.

In the cold wind, Xu Xiaobai tightened his clothes and kept vigil boredly. Within a few minutes, Lao Yaozi's heavy snoring floated out of the tent, making Xu Xiaobai even more resentful. This old man slept well by himself.

After half an hour, Xu Xiaobai felt that it was too cold, and the temperature in the old forest after night fell could reach minus 30 degrees, even with Xu Xiaobai's profound internal strength, he couldn't hold on. He simply sat down cross-legged, slowly exercising the Tai Chi internal exercises, wandering all over his body, his inner breath was like a small flame, lighting up his meridians one by one, and gradually the cold was dispelled, and his whole body was very comfortable.

Practicing like this, he actually entered the realm at great speed. Xu Xiaobai was curious and didn't know why. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the cold in this old forest was abnormal, and he fought hard to resist the cold, and his body instinctively used his true qi to resist the cold, and naturally he was much faster than usual. Thinking of the help of Yang in the martial arts novel, he got the help of the cold jade bed, and he got twice the result with half the effort, which must be the same reason. It seems that Jin Yong's old man is not making it up, and there is still some truth in what he wrote.

He worked diligently, and gradually reached the wonderful realm of forgetting both things and me, but his spiritual sense was more keen, and he could clearly perceive the movements within a mile of the other party.

In this way, in the middle of the night, a prompt suddenly sounded in my mind: "The mastery of the host's Tai Chi internal gong method increases, the host's strength increases by 30%, the speed increases by 30%, and the recovery ability increases by 30%. Congratulations to the host. ”

Xu Xiaobai couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he would only be lucky in the middle of the night, and he actually refined the Tai Chi internal strength method to a higher level, reaching the fifth realm. In addition to the help of the cold in the heart of the heart, presumably the vitality of heaven and earth in this old forest is very strong, and you can practice so fast by yourself, and sure enough, the places that are inaccessible are places where spiritual energy gathers, and only this kind of place can produce heavenly treasures like ambergris ginseng king.

When he was happy, he heard the sound of the old medicine waking up from the tent, and he actually woke up. Xu Xiaobai admired it very much, and said in his heart that in such a cold weather, ordinary people would definitely not be able to sleep, but Lao Yaozi could sleep until midnight and wake up automatically, which shows that he has lived in the old forest all year round and has developed a fixed biological clock.

Lao Yaozi got up and got dressed, came out and said to Xu Xiaobai: "You go to sleep for a while, I'll keep watch in the middle of the night." ”

Xu Xiaobai nodded and went to rest in the tent. His mind was pure, but he had fallen asleep after a few breaths, and he was still working hard in his sleep, and his true qi was automatically circulating and growing in his body. Lao Yaozi guarded the door of the tent, looking at the bright moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. Occasionally listening to Xu Xiaobai's movements in the tent, he found that his breathing was extremely long, with a gap of up to a minute between one breath and one breath, and he was shocked in his heart, and wondered: What kind of kung fu is this kid practicing, his breathing in his sleep is so long, and his lung capacity must not be more than seven or eight times that of ordinary people?

Xu Xiaobai slept in a daze, and he didn't know when he arrived, when he suddenly felt that someone was shaking him, he opened his eyes suddenly, saw that Lao Yaozi was in front of him, made a silent gesture to him, pointed to the outside of the tent and said softly: "There is movement outside, don't make a sound." ”

Xu Xiaobai had never seen Lao Yaozi show such a cautious and serious look, so he hurriedly got up gently, quietly got dressed, and asked, "What is the movement?" ”

The old medicine man glanced at him with a worried face, and said softly: "I don't know yet, it's not a good thing after all." ”
