Chapter 53: Bamboo Tube Stew
Sun Cheng had already lit the fire. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Ansu stuffed the bamboo leaves into the bamboo tube as a lid, and then put the four bamboo tubes around the fire to let the fire slowly roast. The tongue of fire **** was attached to the white bamboo tube, leaving a black mark on it, but it did not burn through it.
As time passes, a burst of the unique fragrance of bamboo leaves wafts out.
"It's so delicious, I want to eat it!" Li Kai put aside the three bamboos he had dragged back, and then sniffed hard, this familiar smell reminded him of the time when they had adventures in the jungle together. Simon put the dry firewood he had recovered on top of the previous pile.
"Wait a minute." Ansu said as she turned each bamboo tube over with chopsticks made of twigs and let the flame scorch the other side.
"It's really like before......" Li Kai squatted down next to the fire, looking at the flickering flames and recalling. They once ran out of ammunition in the jungle, and they also used bamboo to cook. Make a rectangular hole in the middle of a piece of bamboo, fill it with water, and burn it on a fire. Bamboo can also be made into cups, and people drink boiling water in cups made of bamboo. Bamboo can build shelters, and bamboo shoots can be eaten, which solves their urgent needs. Finding bamboo is like finding a grocery store in the jungle, where you can eat and use.
It's a pity that the bamboo shoots here are like stalagmites, with high hardness and relatively small, so they are not edible yet.
Ansu picked up a piece of bamboo, shook it, looked at it, and said, "We can use it to make a water storage container." "This time she asked for a piece of bamboo, with two knots on top, one for the bottom and one for the lid. Cut close to a bamboo knob, with the short part for the lid and the long part for water, and then use a knife to trim the cut so that the two parts fit together. After processing, there is no problem with holding 500 ml of water in a bamboo tube. Ansu then tied a rope made of bark to a bamboo tube so that it could be hung around her waist. If you put it in a bag, it may leak, after all, it is not 100% sealed.
Li Kai and the others also made one out of bamboo, so that they don't have to worry about water shortage in the future. The jungle stores most of the water, but most of it is not surface water and cannot be directly drunk. Ansu and they carried water with them, saving them the effort of finding water.
An Su estimated that the snake meat was cooked, so he took out all the bamboo tubes, one for each person. She leaned the bamboo tube against the stone first to cool off, but Li Kai over there had already eaten it.
"Hiss, delicious." Li Kai didn't care about the hot mouth, so he poked into the bamboo tube with chopsticks made of bamboo branches, and took out a piece of snake meat and sent it to his mouth. I ate too much roast snake meat, and the first time I ate this stewed snake meat, it had a different flavor. The roots of these plants are stewed until they are soft and crumble, but they still taste sweet. The best soup is a soup that concentrates the essence of meat and plants, and you can't stop taking a sip.
Whew--Li Kai exhaled a long breath, this is the best meal to eat after entering the jungle. He smacked his lips unsatisfied, looked at An Su with eager eyes, and said, "Captain, it's so delicious!" Simon was nodding his head constantly.
Ansu silently took a sip of the soup, thinking that next time it would be better to let them go looking for food. Sun Yan shook the white soup in the bamboo tube, remembering the parasites attached to the snake meat, and glanced at them, sometimes not knowing is also a kind of happiness.
That night, the four of them fell asleep again to the sound of insects, but none of them really fell asleep, but were in a state of light sleep, and in this dangerous jungle, even if they slept, they would remain vigilant.
A rustling sound caught Ansu's attention, and she opened her eyes, there were many voices in the jungle, but this was the only one coming towards their shelter.
An Su quietly got up and took the spear leaning against the rock wall, and disappeared into the shadows against the rock wall, unleashing his spiritual power by the way. Sun Cheng suddenly leaned over silently. In Ansu's ear, he said, "Don't use source power. Although Ansu was puzzled, she still withdrew, and she asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”
"There's something tracking." Sun Cheng whispered, although An Su couldn't see his face clearly, he still felt the nervousness in his voice, which was very rare. Sun Tong actually felt nervous? An Su couldn't remember the last time she saw Sun Cheng nervous.
At this time, Simon and Li Kai also woke up. Although their perception was not as strong as Ansu's, they knew that something was about to happen when they saw the captain's vigilant appearance. They quickly grabbed their weapons and leaned into the shadows of the rock wall to hide.
"Don't use the source power during this time, something is tracking us." Sun Yan whispered in a rare serious tone.
"What is it?" Li Kai clenched the knife in his hand and asked.
Sun Yan's eyes flickered: "I don't know for the time being." ”
Boom--
A stone suddenly rolled down from the ledge, fell to the ground, and rolled to the fire with a grunt, and then a huge shadow fell down, and the four of them couldn't help but breathe.
It was a huge snake head, almost able to cover the four of them, and its red forked tongue was like two dancing red vines, constantly swallowing. The bucket-like waist crushed the ground, pushing down more rubble.
Ansu watched with bated breath as the python leaned down from the ledge, stretched its head towards the fire, and then coiled its body in a circle to enclose the fire, like a hill. Only now did An Su see the whole picture of the giant python clearly, its body was crisscrossed with brownish and black patterns, and the scales near the eyes were erect, like two horns. Its eyes were glowing green, and now they were a little more orange from staring at the fire. It suddenly retracted its body, and pressed its entire body against the fire, and kept writhing its body.
It's putting out fires!
Ansu was very surprised, it was the first time they had seen a snake that hated flames so much, and actually used its body to extinguish fire! The fire couldn't withstand the crushing of the python at all, and after being crushed a few times, not even smoke came out.
The python raised its head in satisfaction, its green eyes rolling, locking on the four Ansu and spitting out the scarlet snake hyacinth.
"It's not going to be the one that's tracking us, is it?" Li Kai asked in a low voice, but his eyes did not leave the giant python at all. This giant python was huge, but they had seen bigger ones, so they were only on guard after being surprised, and they were not so afraid that they could not speak.
"It's not."
An Su frowned, since it wasn't this giant python, what else could make the cold healer, who had always been calm, change his face?
While they were pondering, the python opened its mouth and bit at the four of them. )
