Chapter 285: Saving Wild Food
But the strange thing is that this Miss Lu family looked down on him three days ago, and she liked her all of a sudden, which seemed to be a bit shocking. 『』
"Why, because you are very special, you don't have the fat powder flavor that is common in the six families, you are very real"
"Well, authenticity has become a virtue!" Ma Lie smiled with relief, and unconsciously leaned tightly with her, feeling that her body was a little cold, and her snort was gradually weak. As soon as he touched her forehead, a hot temperature transmitted into the palm of his hand.
"Ah, you've got a fever."
At this time, God didn't want to see the two of them, in this deserted place, she actually launched a high fever, if there is no effective medicine to treat it, it is equivalent to pronouncing her death sentence.
"Xue Ling"
At this time, Lu Xueling had fallen asleep and was no longer conscious. Ma Lie couldn't help but despair in his mind, let go of his hands that held her, stood up from the big stone, full of anger, and shouted to the sky: "Old ghost Kong, fuck your mother, you want me to come at me, bastard, come and kill me."
Haw
His sudden roar shook the whole hillside inside and out, and in the small hole under the stone, several rats jumped out, and when they saw someone standing on the stone, they were so frightened that they screamed twice and fled back to the cave.
Apparently it was Ma Lie's roar that made the rats curious, so they ran out to take a look.
After all, it's almost uninhabited, and very few people have ever come in. However, a few mice happened to be looked at by Ma Lie, and suddenly realized that the food he had been looking for was right in front of him.
In order to build this area of death, the Kong family implemented the layout of strong walls and clear fields, and there was no food for anyone to eat.
However, the ancestors of the Kong clan may not have imagined that they could trap people here and build a terrifying death zone, which happened to become a paradise for rats.
Ma Lie scanned the hole through her clair, and found that the hole was very deep, and there was a nest of rats living in it, several of which were as big as thighs. It's a game-rich mole, and it's sure to be a valuable delicacy on the table in the city.
Usually, Ma Lie has never eaten rat meat, and he feels disgusted when he thinks of rats. But at this difficult time, seeing a mouse is like seeing a roast chicken.
So, he tried his best to get the rats out, and smoking was the best way. It's just that he himself doesn't smoke and doesn't have a lighter in his pocket.
If the fire can't be attacked, it can be irrigated with water. But he looked around the neighborhood and found no place for water. I couldn't use the water attack and fire attack, and I saw a nest of rats hiding and rolling inside, and I didn't have any way.
After thinking about it, Ma Lie thought of scaring them down with his own roar, after all, they had probably jumped out because of his roar.
Therefore, Ma Lie's mouth was facing the entrance of the cave, his palm was ready to capture the mouse, and he used the assistance of Ziyuan True Qi to shout at the mouth of the mouse barrel: "Old ghost Kong, I'm *** forced, come out quickly"
Haw!
With his high-decibel shout, a huge mouse was frightened out of the hole, Ma Lie had been waiting for a long time, grabbed it with one hand, quickly grabbed the mouse's neck, pinched it hard, and the mouse was killed on the spot.
One rat is certainly not enough to eat. Ma Lie's old trick was repeated, and he caught five mice one after another, which also consumed a lot of true qi.
Right now, the food is there, but how to eat it has become a huge problem.
Ma Lie himself does not smoke and will not have nothing to carry a lighter with him. The stomach is hungry, and there is no tool to make a fire, and you can't swallow the hairy raw mouse directly in one bite.
Looking at the dead and lying on a few big rats, Ma Lie was in trouble again.
"Brother bricks and wood make fire!"
Lu Xueling suddenly reminded that she was in a coma, but her consciousness was still there. Hearing Ma Lie's yelling, he occasionally opened his eyes to take a look, and found that he was catching mice, and finally caught a few big mice, and suddenly he was in trouble again, and immediately guessed his current difficulties.
"Well, I'll try!" This brick and wood fire is an invention handed down by our ancestors, which is easy to say, but it is not so simple to make.
Ma Lie is a modern man, so naturally he will not use bricks and wood to make fire.
He first found a handful of dry and flammable weeds and piled them up, and then rubbed them against two hard stones, occasionally sparking a little spark, but there was still no hope of setting the weeds on fire.
He had to use his last hope, using Ziyuan True Qi to condense between the two hands holding the stone, take a deep breath, and use the last remaining strength, causing the two stones in his hands to rub violently!
Click!
A beam of sparks flew out from where the two stones had rubbed and bounced into the grass. Soon, a wisp of black smoke came out.
"It worked!" Ma Lie was pleasantly surprised, and carefully fueled the flames, licking the wood and licking the fire until it turned into a huge fire.
"Whew, that's it!" Ma Lie was relieved.
With fire, it's much easier to do next.
Throw a few rats into the fire and let the flames burn off the rats' fur and make their bodies swell. Then pick out the mouse and molt it, disembowel it, leave half of the body, and insert a mouse with a wooden strip and set it next to the fire.
Ma Lie hadn't roasted mice, but he had roasted things like chicken wings.
Anyway, it's all grilled, but there are fewer auxiliary ingredients, and it doesn't have the same fragrant flavor as grilled chicken wings. Still, the taste of wild rats is definitely much better than any meat in town.
Before the rat meat was roasted, the hungry Ma Lie couldn't wait, and swallowed two roast rat meat one after another, which tasted a little fishy and tasted good.
Two rats were big enough, but obviously not enough for someone who had never eaten in a day. Fortunately, my stomach was finally filled with something, and most of my hunger disappeared.
Ma Lie thought that there was still a pampered daughter lying beside her, and he didn't know if she dared to eat rat meat.
"Xue Ling, it's time to eat." The sky was getting dark, Ma Lie didn't hesitate, helped Lu Xueling to sit up, picked a piece of the best roasted rat meat and sent it to her.
Lu Xueling didn't say a word, he opened his mouth and bit it. As a result, the rat meat had just been grilled, and the heat had not yet dissipated. It burned her throat immediately, but the force of hunger made her forget the hot sensation, and she swallowed the whole piece of rat meat into her stomach.
"It's delicious, is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Ma Lie smiled happily and handed her a piece of roasted rat meat: "It's still a little hot, you eat slowly"
didn't speak, I saw Lu Xueling reach out and grab it, regardless of the three-seven-two-one, stuffed it into his mouth, didn't need to chew, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
After eating two pieces of rat meat in less than a minute, Lu Xueling was still unsatisfied and asked, "It's so delicious, brother, is there anything else?" ”
Ma Lie said with a smile: "Yes, but there is the last one left!" ”
Lu Xueling licked her lips and said, "Catch a few more, and I'll bake them for you to eat." ”
Ma Lie smiled: "Let me rest for a while, and restore the body first." ”
Lu Xueling said: "Then the rest of this one will give you some food, so that you have the strength to catch a few more mice!" ”
Ma Lie waved his hand and said, "No need, I also ate two, and I almost recovered my body!" ”
Lu Xueling blinked and said, "Then we are half of us, okay?" ”
Ma Lie no longer refused, and smiled: "Okay"
So, the two of them each ate two and a half mice, and gradually regained their normal bodies. Ma Lie imported a part of his True Qi into Lu Xueling, and she used the Purple Yuan True Qi to operate and expel the heat from her body.
Lu Xueling did so, and the high fever slowly subsided.
Ma Lie was relieved and decided to catch a few mice as spare food for tomorrow before it got dark.
But he looked at the old mouse hole, and found that there were several smaller rats hidden in it, and he was trembling in the hole, and guessed that these rats must be from the first generation of children, and knew that his parents and brothers had been eaten by humans, and he was frightened.
Ma Lie thought of his current extremely difficult situation for a while, in front of him was a family of rats, and it was never a way to kill them all, after all, he couldn't bear to kill them.
He looked for other holes nearby and found another nest of rats.
In order for himself to survive, he didn't hesitate, and this time he didn't have to spend his true qi to perform the lion's roar skill. He took a handful of lighted hay and put it at the mouth of the hole, and then blew the smoke into the hole, and the rats were frightened and chirped, and flew out of the hole quickly.
Ma Lie caught two big ones, and the rest scattered in a hurry, not knowing where to go.
worked until dark, Ma Lie caught ten mice in one go, which was regarded as clearing a scourge for his dead opponent Kong Jiazhuang. Lu Xueling was not idle, and personally picked up a large handful of firewood nearby and came back.
When she saw Ma Lie stacking the dead rats in front of her, Miss Lu, who had been eating happily before, suddenly felt extremely disgusted, and frowned: "Brother, this is the mouse we ate just now."
Ma Lie smiled: "Well, this is a mole, not a common house mouse, you can't eat such authentic game in the city!" ”
Lu Xueling pinched her nose and said, "But, I feel so disgusting!" ”
"You won't feel sick when you're full, come and help, don't rush to eat later!" Ma Lie threw the rats into the fire and licked the firewood into the fire.
"You get it, I'll bake it!" Lu Xueling didn't dare to touch the raw mouse, so she had to sit next to her and watch the excitement.
Ma Lie removed the hair and twisted off the heads of the ten mice with his bare hands, disemboweled, took out the five internal organs, and sorted out pieces of clean meat for Lu Xueling to roast. The two of them worked together, and they were busy until dark, and another meal of game was ready.
The two men ate two mice in succession, and their hungry stomachs finally stood up. No matter how delicious things are, they will get tired of eating too much, Ma Lie and Lu Xueling can't eat anymore, and there are still six pieces of rat meat left on the side of the fire to slowly smoke and roast to maintain the umami
