Chapter 288: A Little More

Ouyang Kai only squinted for less than two hours before coming out of the cave.

It's not that he has insomnia, it's that he's already rested, and although his consumption yesterday was much greater than when he was in Baishengtang, it was only physical exertion, and it was easy to recover.

"Master, I'll go get some things, and I'll ask you for a favor later."

The first thing Ouyang Kai did when he came out was to see how the tiger skins were roasted, and after touching that they were almost roasted, he said.

"Go ahead, stay safe."

Zhao Yiyi thought about the usefulness of Ouyang Kai's tiger skin in these two hours, and probably guessed a little, and if she wanted her to help at this time, then she would be even more sure.

Soon, Ouyang Kai came back with something in his hand, and sure enough, Zhao Yiyi did not expect it, it was indeed to sew the tiger skin together.

"Trouble the master to sew the two tiger skins together."

Ouyang Kai handed over the thin rattan in his hand to Zhao Yiyi, and said, there are four tiger skins here, and two tiger skins are sewn together, which can completely wrap Zhou Yi or Murong Qianqian, and the problem of keeping the two of them warm at night can be solved.

Although this is not any needlework, but after all, it involves sewing things, which Ouyang Kai has never tried, and he feels that he should not be ugly.

"Okay, I'll sew."

Zhao Yiyi didn't shirk it, sewing things like this was really not done by people like Ouyang Kai.

"Huh? This is? ”

After taking the vine in Ouyang Kai's hand, Zhao Yiyi found that this vine was not ordinary, and there was a needle-like thing tied to the tail of the vine.

"Vajra vine, and the needles on the Thousand Needles Tree."

These two things are the most suitable choices for sewing things in Ouyang Kai's opinion, and they are also one of the best plants to find in the Jinwu Mountains.

Zhao Yi nodded, she originally felt that these two things were very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them, after Ouyang Kai said this, she knew that there had been a diamond vine in the Valley of Hundred Flowers before, and a few needles on the Thousand Needle Tree,

But it's been defeated by Wen Yuerou, and now it's gone.

Vajra vine is an outlier among plants, long and thin, but full of toughness, and has a very large strength, it is difficult to damage it with ordinary weapons, and it is the first choice for countries to make battle suits.

However, the king vine is very harsh on the growth environment, and it is mainly distributed in Luzhou and Jiaozhou, and there is almost no distribution in other places.

Every year, many people go to the mountains to look for vajra vines, in exchange for the rich rewards of the imperial court.

Nowadays, the armor made of Vajra rattan is given to generals who have made meritorious contributions in battle, and there are very few things sewn from Vajra rattan in the private sector.

As for the thousand-needle tree, it is an important source of embroidery needles used by the people.

The Thousand Needle Tree, as the name suggests, has thousands of thorns on its body that are as sharp as needles, and it can become an embroidery needle, which must have its unique properties.

The thorns on the Thousand Needles Tree are very sharp, and it is very hard, the same as iron, and if you go down, it is likely to break the blades.

Outside, the Thousand Needle Tree is also relatively difficult to find, but compared to the Vajra vine, it is even very easy to find.

The older the thorns, the stronger they are, and the ones Ouyang Kai found look very old, which is also the reason why Zhao Yiyi was surprised.

The Jinwu Mountain Range is worthy of being a forbidden area for life, and the things that grow out are very rare in the outside world.

These two things are very difficult to find outside, but inside the Jinwu Mountains, not to mention the mountains and wilderness, they are definitely not rare.

Ouyang Kai didn't know the use of the Vajra vine outside, he found that the magic of this vine was still in the back mountain, and found that some animals were scratched by the Vajra vine.

He cut down this vine and brought it back to ask the master, only to find out that his name was Vajra vine.

As for the Thousand Needle Tree, he had seen it outside, and its thorns had also seen it, and it was indeed used as an embroidery needle.

……

As soon as the morning dawned, Ouyang Kai called the two girls up, they had to hurry as soon as possible, and when the sun came out, the poisonous insects in the woods should also get up.

The water for washing, Ouyang Kai has prepared it for them, it is hot, the temperature in the Jinwu Mountains is already low in the morning, if the two girls are still allowed to wash with cold water, it will be too cold, it is simply a crime.

"This ......"

The inside of the cave was warmer than the outside, and they really finished the preparations before departure inside, and when Zhou Yi and Murong Qianqian came out, they found a strange place.

"Under normal circumstances, there are a lot of meat eaters in the mountains, and they have smart noses, so they naturally won't let go."

Seeing the surprised looks on the faces of the two girls, Ouyang Kai explained.

He killed so many dead dogs last night, the smell of blood must have spread far away, and every animal that eats meat in Jinwu Mountain is very sensitive to the smell of blood, and must be fighting to come.

He also saw the scene last night, otherwise, there would be no two extra tiger skins.

When he awoke, the dead dog meat outside the cave had been eaten by the beasts, just two hours before he rested.

When he awoke, there was nothing left outside the cave except blood, and when he went out to look for the Vajra vine and the Thousand Needle Tree, he found many beasts that had eaten and were sleeping.

"So fast!"

Murong Qianqian's shocked expression did not fade at all, she knew how many dead dogs there were here last night, after Ouyang Kai killed all the dead dogs, she followed her into the cave.

It's not too much to describe last night's situation with corpses all over the field, but after a night's work, it was all eaten and wiped clean, and how many beasts would have to do it!

"That's why I'm looking for a cave to spend the night, and I told you to stay in the cave, which is the safest."

Taking advantage of this effort, Ouyang Kai reminded the two of them again, the two of them walked out of the cave last night, which really made people sweat.

He hadn't told them enough that he had been ambushed by a dead dog on the side of the boar's den.

It would have frightened them if they had known that he had killed thousands of dead dogs where he had killed the wild boars, and that the meat of those dead dogs had now been disposed of by other predators.

"Get ready to go, and continue the path of yesterday."

Extinguishing all the fires in front of the cave, Ouyang Kai pointed to the direction he came in yesterday and said.

This fire had to be extinguished, it was winter, it was very dry, a little spark could start a fire, he didn't want to joke about the Golden Crow Mountains.

When a fire comes down, it can burn to the Thundering Mountain in minutes, and then the Jinwu Mountain Range will no longer be a forbidden area for life, and everyone can come in.

He also dismantled the shed at the entrance of the cave, and tried to restore the cave to its original appearance, which he had robbed, and he did not live permanently, so there was no need to leave a shed here to hinder other animals from using the cave.

Roast wild boar he has wrapped in a cloth, such a big bag, he directly carried it on his back, but it was a bit like a mountain worker carrying things, after thinking about it, the posture didn't seem to be very elegant, so he carried it directly on his hand.

The large package of barbecue in Ouyang Kai's hand exudes a unique taste of barbecue, and it is a little strange to walk in the forest.

What's even more bizarre is that after walking for most of the day, there was not a single beast in the mountains and forests that came to taste, which was somewhat not what Ouyang Kai expected.

But there was nothing strange about him, for last night the beasts in the vicinity should have been full, and there must have been a thousand eight hundred dead dogs in front of the cave and the boar's den, and this sumptuous meal was enough for many beasts of prey.

It's no surprise that the beasts are probably still sleeping.

When the sun climbed into the air, Ouyang Kai ordered to stop, and after walking for most of the day, it was time to rest.

"Let's eat something, it's not as delicious as the previous barbecue, we're eating this meat these days."

These barbecues are grilled until the moisture is almost gone, whether they are hot or not, and they are definitely not as delicious as the barbecue that has just been grilled before, and they are still dry.

Ouyang Kai told them a few in advance and let them be mentally prepared.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Murong Qianqian and Zhou Yi are not picky eaters, they have been walking for a long time, and this is still the meat roasted by Ouyang Kai, and the taste difference should not be too much.

"Hiss~"

When Ouyang Kai opened the cloth bag, Murong Qianqian was shocked when she saw the pieces of meat inside.

She wanted to reach down and take out a piece of meat, but the pieces of meat inside were so big, each piece was so big, she didn't know how to start for a while.

"Little fool, just take a knife and cut it smaller."

Murong Qianqian's hand was stunned in mid-air, and Ouyang Kai knew what was going on as soon as he saw her face.

These barbecues are all very large, so that they can be carried on the road, and no matter which piece is taken out, it will be enough for them to eat two meals.

Of course, Ouyang Kai didn't get started with this matter, because Zhao Yiyi had already taken out a piece of barbecue meat from the cloth bag first, cut a small piece, and put the remaining half back into the cloth bag.

"It smells so good!"

When they got up in the morning, Ouyang Kai had already packed up all the barbecue meat and put it in a cloth bag, although they followed Ouyang Kai all the way, the smell was still very faint.

Now that she got the barbecue, Zhou Yi took a deep sniff, it was a taste that she had never smelled when she ate barbecue before, and it hit her olfactory center, and she couldn't help but admire.

The small piece of barbecue was a little hard and a little laborious, and it took Zhou Yi a lot of effort to solve the barbecue in his hand.

"Master, can I come a little more?"

After eating, Zhou Yi was still a little unsatisfied, this barbecue was her dish, she was sure, so she looked at Ouyang Kai with expectant eyes.

"Eat it if you like, there's a lot more."

Ouyang Kai opened the mouth of the bag and motioned Zhou Yi to take it himself, this bag was almost the meat of the whole wild boar, and he deliberately removed all the bones on the wild boar when he was roasting.

Wild boar bones can be used to make soup, but this is in a hurry, or in the deep mountains and forests, and you can't find kitchen tools, and carrying pig bones on the road is just a burden.

"I'll just take a small piece, hehe."

Zhou Yi took out the dagger that Zhao Yiyi gave her, and cut a small piece of meat from the bag, she didn't dare to take too much at once, she still had to pay attention to her image in front of Ouyang Kai and Zhao Yiyi.
