Although this method can achieve the goal, it is really too difficult, and after each burning, and then excitation with cold water, only less than two centimeters of stone skin can be removed. The two of them took turns to operate, and it took eight days to make a stone mortar. Seeing the pride on An's face, Xiao Yiran could only comfort himself:

"It's really amazing that you can dig a hole in the hard granite without tools."

It's just that the stone mortar is too big for two people to get to their lodgings anyway. Since the stone mortar could not be moved, the rice could only be brought over. You can't make the wooden sticks used to make rice, and the rest is rice. Xiao Yiran has only seen the portraits of the ancients using stone mortars and rice, but he has never seen the real thing. Watching An skillfully hold the thick wooden stick with both hands, scooping rice up and down, and after a while, the rice in the stone mortar revealed the blue-white rice, and the beads of sweat on Ann's forehead also began to fall. Let An rest aside, Xiao Yiran learned from An's appearance and tried the feeling of the first time.

The sonorous sound of rice licking was far away in the quiet mountain forest.

After the rice is washed, this one is much simpler, there is that wooden barrel, and soon the rice has been washed. Steaming rice is also simple, just wrap the rice mixed with water with those thick leaves and bury it in the embers of a campfire. The fragrance of rice is by no means comparable to that of sticky millet rice. An is the first time to see rice, and naturally it is also the first time to eat rice, needless to say, just from her sparkling eyes, Xiao Yiran knows the answer.

Rice, dried meat, small dried fish. This meal, both of them ate very sweetly.

When An looked at the loom under the attic and didn't know what it was, Xiao Yiran took out the woven hazel silk and gently draped it on his body, An's eyes straightened. Encouraged by Xiao Yiran's gaze, An cautiously reached out and touched the smooth and thin silk on Xiao Yiran's body, and when he looked at Xiao Yiran again, his eyes were already full of admiration.

"Ann won't equate me with their great gods, will she?"

Xiao Yiran thought proudly in his heart.

"Sister Ran, are you the embodiment of a great god?"

Isn't it, really? Xiao Yiran hurriedly said:

"Ann, I'm not an incarnation, I'm your sister Ran, remember?"

An nodded obediently, but the adoration in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest. Since then, Ann has worked harder, and Xiao Yiran can see that Ann wants to do all the work so that he can rest.

"Ann, we are all people who have been abandoned by the gods, we are all the same people, we will live together in the future, we must take care of each other, and depend on each other, you know?"

Obviously, An didn't fully understand Xiao Yiran's words, but she still nodded meekly in agreement. Xiao Yiran knows that it is not easy to change the worship of the ancients for things beyond their imagination, and it is necessary to take your time.

"Ann, will you set a trap? We don't have much jerky. ”

"I will."

Xiao Yiran wanted to give Ann some confidence and try his best to get out of his worship of himself. Xiao Yiran followed behind Ann to see how she set the trap. Ann's movements are much more skilled than Xiao Yiran's. Just choosing where to place the trap, Ann is quite experienced. Ann chooses the location by following the hoof prints of the beasts on the ground. It's not that he pointed to the hoof prints on the ground and said to Xiao Yiran, this is the tiger's, this is the hare's, this is the tapir's hoof prints.

Tapir? Xiao Yiran suddenly remembered the strange animals that attacked his attic that night. Briefly described to Ann what the animal looked like, and Ann said with certainty that it was a tapir.

Because all the wild boar meat eaten here is Xiao Yiran, and Xiao Yiran also has a wild boar, so Ann thought that Xiao Yiran liked to eat wild boar, and in the end, Ann still set the trap in a place where there were more wild boar hoof prints. The traps dug by An are much more scientific than those dug by Xiao Yiran. Xiao Yiran's trap is basically about the same size up and down, and sometimes because it is tiring to dig to the end, he will dig into a big mouth and a small bottom. And the trap dug by Ann is small and big. In this way, the beast fell into it and there was almost no possibility of escape. The camouflage made by An on the outside of the trap is also much more clever, that is, Xiao Yiran, who has been watching from the side, if he does not use the trees next to the trap as a reference, I am afraid he will not be able to distinguish which is the trap and which is the ground.

The trap set by Ambu worked that night. In the middle of the night, there was the howl of wild boars, and Xiao Yiran felt a little pity for the wild boars in his heart. After dawn, the two came to the trap, and it was another half-sized wild boar. Although Ann did not stick a sharp branch under the trap, after a night of struggle, the boar was already tired and dying. An pulled a rattan, jumped into the trap quickly, tied the two hind legs of the wild boar, and supported it underneath, Xiao Yiran pulled it outside, and easily pulled the wild boar out. Dragged the wild boar to the shallow pool, Xiao Yiran saw that An seemed to want to strangle the wild boar to death, so he hurriedly stopped her, handed her a stone knife, and said to An:

"You have to release the blood of wild boars so that the pork tastes good."

This is what Xiao Yiran learned when he watched people kill pigs at his grandmother's house in the countryside for the New Year. Although An didn't understand what Xiao Yiran meant, she still did what Xiao Yiran said. By the time An used a stone knife to cut through the major artery in the boar's neck, Xiao Yiran had already prepared a wooden barrel and collected all the boar's blood.

Ann's actions to clean up the wild boar are very clean. Peel the skin and clean the internal organs. In the past, Xiao Yiran dug a pit and buried the internal organs of the two wild boars, but An carefully cleaned them and did not waste them at all. When the two of them carried the packed wild boar meat to the residence, An asked Xiao Yiran:

"Sister Ran, where is the brine slurry?"

Xiao Yiran smiled and went to the attic to take out the fine salt he had dried and handed it to An, who was full of doubts. Xiao Yiran didn't explain, grabbed a handful by himself, and said while rubbing the wild boar:

"Just smear one side like that."

An first dipped his fingers in a little fine salt and put it in his mouth, smacked it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Xiao Yiran in surprise again.

"This is salt, go back to my sister to teach you."

Xiao Yiran thought to herself, it is better to teach these skills to Kuài, and don't let her really treat herself as the embodiment of a god. After roasting the wild boar, Xiao Yiran led An to the brine well. Wooden barrels were filled with mud and carried back to their lodgings, where they were dried on the thick leaves as before. After the fine white salt grains crystallized, Xiao Yiran motioned for An to come over and taste it. Ignoring Ann's surprise, Xiao Yiran continued to teach her how to collect these dried fine salts.

At dinner, Ann asked again timidly:

"Sister Ran is really not the embodiment of a great god?"

Xiao Yiran looked at An's expression, and knew in his heart that as long as he nodded and admitted that he was the incarnation of the gods, An would definitely bow to himself next. Xiao Yiran shook his head very indifferently and said:

"Ann, remember, both of us are outcasts from the gods."
