Chapter 264: Hunting with a Beast (12)
Austin was reminded by Stone's words, and suddenly reacted: "I almost forgot, I have to make a fire to cook in a while!" β
He stuffed his clothes back into his backpack, then looked at Li Chenghua and said with a smile: "I will definitely sweat again when I make a fire and cook for a while, so I will just wait until we have finished lunch before changing my clothes." β
Li Chenghua touched his belly and thought for a while, and felt that his son-in-law's construction was very far-sighted, so he nodded and agreed: "This construction is good, after lunch, we can still take a shower in the water!" β
With that, he put his backpack back in the saddle, and then beckoned to his son-in-law, Austin, who walked over to Joey.
"Joey, when is it time to eat? We're all starving! Li Chenghua yelled at Joey.
Joey was squatting on the bank of the stream with the dead rabbit that Pei Pei had brought back, and when he heard this, he turned to his companions and replied with a smile: "If you want to eat quickly, you guys should quickly clean up all the prey you brought back!" β
With that, Joey stood up and began to assign their respective duties: "Watson, you go and clean the venison!" Stone, you're in charge of handling pheasants and ducks, and make sure to pluck all the feathers and clean the entrails! β
Then, Joey took the rabbit in his hand again and continued, "I'll take care of this rabbit." β
"What are Austin and I responsible for?" Pei Pei stepped forward and asked.
"You two go get some firewood and come back! And then pile all the firewood here! Joey gestured to Pei Pei to a piece of dirt not far behind her.
Pei Pei looked in the direction of Joey's finger and saw that there were many dry branches piled up there.
"By the way, I'll be responsible for raising the fire!" Joey then instructed again.
"But," Pei Pei visually measured the distance between the fire and the stream. Looking at Joey, he reminded, "I remember that old Lem of the grocery store told me that you can't set up a camp near a water source, saying that you will be attacked by beasts that come to drink water!" β
Joey smiled: "What old Lem said is indeed true under normal circumstances!" But you didn't think we had themβ"
He pointed to Wei Lang and the others on the side, and then continued: "The large beasts in the jungle are generally used to living alone, and the only wild wolves in the vicinity have just been wiped out by Wei Lang and them! Tell me for yourself, what other beast in the vicinity would dare to provoke these guys? β
- That's right!
Pei Pei was persuaded, turned to Austin and beckoned, "Let's go, let's go collect firewood together!" β
Seeing the big guys getting busy under their own assignments, Joey smiled and cheered up his companions, "If you want to eat early, you guys will have to speed up." We're trying to get it done in 10 minutes! β
Ten minutes later
The campfire finally went up. A group of people sat hungrily around the fire, salivating at the roast chicken, roast rabbit, roast fish, and roast venison on the stick rack.
The grilled fish was snatched by Pei Pei from under Winnie's paws.
This guy caught a lot of fat river fish in the stream.
However, it can't eat it all on its own.
So, as if she were making a mark, the greedy Winnie took a bite on each fish. Just grab one, take a bite, and toss it aside!
The fat fish that were thrown away after being bitten by Winnie were all cheaper, Qianling and Kun Xi. But even so. On the shore, there are still seven or eight horizontal ones on the east and one on the west, and there are seventeen or eight fish corpses whose abdomen has been bitten off.
Pei Pei felt that it was too wasteful, so she snatched two fat fish directly from under Winnie's claws, and then squatted on the shore to scrape phosphorus and clean up. Use a fork of a branch and set it on the fire to feed everyone.

After lunch, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Because of the morning of walking through the jungle and having a barbecue in front of the fire, everyone's clothes were crumpled and stained with mud and grass clippings, and everyone's bodies were also drenched in sweat.
When they were hungry before, a group of people only cared about solving the belly problem first, but now that everyone is full, they feel all kinds of discomfort.
Even Joey, who has changed into clean clothes, is in charge of turning over the deer steak, and there is a smell of sweat and barbecue all over his body.
In the course of the previous meal, several men had already discussed, and after eating, they first packed up the camp in one go, and then went to the stream to take a bath and change into clean clothes before continuing to set off.
Take off your clothes when taking a shower!
Peipei, who was already tired of sweating, had already allocated their own bath water sections with all the men during the meal - as the only lady in the group, after eating, she took Winnie and Niuniu as bodyguards, and then went upstream to find a sheltered place to take a bath and change clothes.
As for this downstream section of the water near the camp, it is up to the men to play whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with the men who are all stripped naked.
The agreed meeting time was half past two. After half past two, Austin was asked to come upstream to find her, and then everyone left here and started again.
Therefore, at this time, after Pei Pei had eaten her belly, she consciously walked upstream with her backpack.
At this time-
"Honey, do you want me to come with you?" Austin asked aloud at his wife's back.
"No need, I have Winnie and Niuniu as bodyguards, and the security is guaranteed enough!" Pei Pei waved her hand without looking back.
Austin secretly glanced sideways in Li Chenghua's direction, and found that his father-in-law happened to be facing away from him at this moment, cleaning up the campfire with Joey and the others.
So, he quickly picked up the rucksack at his feet, and then got up and chased after his wife's figure.
After catching up with Pei Pei, Austin grinned and put her arms on his wife's shoulder, squeezed her eyebrows and laughed: "Baby, if I go with you, I can still help you rub your back, right?" β
"Don't talk on my shoulder! The smell of sweat on your body is almost smoking me to death! Pei Pei shook off the arm on her shoulder, covered her nose and turned her head in the direction of her father and shouted, "Daddy, come here and bring this guy Austin back to me!" (To be continued......)
