Yu Wenli saw that the river in the cave was rising, and couldn't help but ask Xu Wenlong worriedly: "What if this water keeps rising?" Especially in the middle of the night, when we cross the cave and go straight to the platform, won't we drown in our sleep? ”

"Don't worry about this!" While chewing on the roast duck, Xu Wenlong replied confidently, "This is spring water, and the flow is not large." In addition, the river cave in front is very small, and the amount of water produced is far less than the flood discharge of the river behind. So the river never rises to the platform, so you can sleep at night with peace of mind and boldness. ”

"That's right." Yu Wenli was relieved when she heard this, turned around and squatted beside the wild boar, tilted her head to look left and right, and from time to time reached out to poke its belly and poke its neck, with a look of surprise on her face. After fiddling for a while, she wanted to pass Xu Wenlong's dagger again, and crossed over to the wild boar and said, "How do you get this?" Where to start? ”

Xu Wenlong hurriedly finished eating the wild duck in three or two bites, snatched the dagger in her hand and said: "Stay and let me come, it's best to go to the windowsill and guard." If a ship passes by, we won't miss the chance to be saved. ”

"Well, you're the lord who listens to you." Yu Wenli was in a good mood, she didn't care about Xu Wenlong's rude treatment, rushed to the platform like a gust of wind, looked around for a while, and said, "Nothing, nothing can be seen clearly", and ran back like another gust of wind, squatting tamely on the side like a little milk cat, looking intently at Xu Wenlong's upcoming implementation of Xu Ding's pig solving Dafa.

Xu Wenlong first washed the wild boar with river water, and then washed out a pig removal field on the originally clean cave embankment, and then put the washed wild boar on the ground. Tilting his head to examine it carefully, he then took out a sharp dagger and cut a shallow hole more than a foot long along the pig's spine......

When Yu Wenli saw it, she couldn't help but ask confusedly, "Why do you want to start with your back first?" Isn't it time to make a hole in the stomach and then remove the internal organs? ”

Xu Wenlong looked at his bare dirty feet, and replied: "I want to peel off the pigskin to see if I can tann it into leather, so that I can make a pair of shoes to wear." ”

"Oh, I want to make leather shoes." Yu Wenli suddenly realized, "But will you?" I heard that tanning leather is difficult, it requires a lot of chemical potions, and it has to go through dozens of complex processes before it can be made smoothly. ”

"Give it a try, you can wear it if you can, it's better than being barefoot anyway." Xu Wenlong wielded a dagger, like a big girl embroidering, carefully cutting the thick pigskin one by one.

Yu Wenli was so disappointed that she was in no mood to look at it anymore, so she turned around and ran onto the platform again, quietly lying on the windowsill and watching the open sea. It's a pity that I was bored after watching it for a while, so I came back again to watch Xu Wenlong peel the pigskin. It took more than two hours to run over and over more than ten or twenty times before Xu Wenlong finally peeled off the pigskin.

"What's next? How do you divide pork? After Yu Wenli saw that the whole pigskin was rinsed, she immediately asked Xu Wenlong with a nervous expression, "One person and half, you can't let the tiger suffer, after all, the wild boar was caught by it." ”

"Don't worry, you won't let the tiger suffer." Xu Wenlong raised his head and glanced at Yu Wenli silently, and a trace of uneasiness and worry faintly rose in his heart.

Yu Wenli didn't pay attention to Xu Wenlong's expression, and still said with great concern: "Then hurry up, I can stare at you here, don't try to deceive me secretly." ”

"How is that possible?" Xu Wenlong smiled bitterly, and used a dagger to cut off one of the front legs and one hind leg of the wild boar, which looked like twenty or thirty catties. Then he pointed to the rest and said, "This is the tiger's, it should be divided fairly, right?" ”

Yu Wenli was very satisfied, nodded frequently and replied, "It's almost, it's fair." ”

Xu Wenlong listened to it as if he was unheard, and after putting down the two thick pork legs, his eyes stared directly at the layer of white fat on the pig's body.

Yu Wenli sighed in her heart, and hurriedly stopped in front of him and said, "What's wrong with you?" Want to regret it? Do you want to cheat? A manly man, if you say it, you will never get it back. Hurry up, throw the meat out of the hole, so that the tiger can enjoy it at night. If it remembers to come back! ”

Xu Wenlong coughed and said to Yu Wenli in a consultative tone: "Do you see if you can do this, can I just cut off that layer of fat?" Just cut the fat, and don't want half a shred of lean meat. ”

Yu Wenli's face sank, pointed to Xu Wenlong's nose and said in disgust: "Look at you, as I expected, I wanted to regret it in the blink of an eye, and I wanted to cheat." Then I ask you, what are you going to cut fat for? Don't you like to eat fatty meat? ”

"I don't like it, I just want to use it to boil oil."

"Stir-fry! You're going to stir-fry for me to eat, okay, okay, cut quickly, it's not a lot anyway. When Yu Wenli heard this, she couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Xu Wenlong smiled, shook his head and replied, "It's not a stir-fry, it's a lamp!" ”

"Light the lamp?" Yu Wenli paused for a moment, and then suddenly came to her senses, "Yes, yes, it's time to light the lamp." We don't have many bullets, we can't fire many times. In case we live here for ten or eight years, how can we live without fire? Haven't you become an out-and-out savage? Even if we were rescued later, people would not treat us as human beings, and nine out of ten would lock us up in the zoo and play monkeys. Cut it quickly, be careful, cut off all the fat, and waste nothing. ”

Xu Wenlong was agreed, so he took out the dagger again and carefully cut the thin layer of fat on the wild boar's body. Although wild boars weigh hundreds of pounds, they are sturdy and robust, and almost all of them are tendon meat. Xu Wenlong cut for a long time, and only then did he remove a few four or five catties of fatty meat. After cutting, he lifted the skinless pig in its entirety, and did not clean up the internal organs, but threw it directly next to the boulder outside the cave, leaving it for the tiger to enjoy slowly.

The thunder and lightning had weakened and no longer pierced the sky and shook the earth, but the rain was still pouring down and showed no signs of stopping. The jungle in the rain is bright and green, full of infinite vitality and vitality. The birds were hidden, and the beasts were cut off. Everywhere there was a gurgling stream of water, and everywhere there was a rising mist. The water in the large and small ditches was satisfied, and thousands of streams returned to the Hope River, causing the river to swell in a short period of time, almost overflowing the embankment.

Xu Wenlong stood silently at the entrance of the outer cave, looking at the boundless rain curtain with emotion and lamentation for a while, before he drooped his head and slowly turned back to the inner cave for a long time. In order to prevent the beasts from invading and sneaking attack, he moved a number of stones of different sizes and simply piled them up at the entrance of the inner cave. Not for anything else, but to serve as a warning of the sound of stones falling to the ground. After piling up the warning wall, he grabbed two pork legs, brought fat and pig skin, and walked to the stone wall platform with Yu Wenli.

It's still early, and it's estimated that it will be several hours before it gets dark. Yu Wenli was probably hungry, so she picked up the barbecue fruit and ate it when she stepped onto the platform. While eating, he asked Xu Wenlong urgently: "When will you make a fire?" When to roast? How do you boil that lard? None of the pots? There is no suitable place to hold it, how to do it? ”

Xu Wenlong replied with a smile: "It's all come to this point, and there's nothing to pay attention to, only everything is simple and everything will be done." After saying that, he took the wild boar skin, spread it flat on the stone slab, took a few handfuls of wood ash from the hearth, and applied it evenly and repeatedly to absorb the grease from the skin.

When Yu Wenli saw it, she couldn't help pouting and sneering at him: "You are tanning like this? Can this also be made into leather shoes? ”

"Whatever, as long as it's not greasy, you can wrap your feet." Xu Wenlong replied lightly.

"Then it might as well find a way to get a sheepskin or a deerskin to look better."

"If you have the chance, it's not impossible."

After smearing and smearing for a while, Xu Wenlong spread the pigskin on the stone slab, planning to expose it to the sun when there was sun. After that, he sat silently in front of the windowsill, staring at the rainy and misty sea with a melancholy face......

Yu Wenli filled her stomach, went to the river to wash her hands, sat down next to Xu Wenlong, raised her head and asked him with a look of reverie: "Did you say that the tiger will come tonight?" Can it spot the pork we left behind? Will it eat it after it is found? Can it feel our good intentions? In the dead of night, let's go to the cave and find a place to hide, and secretly observe what it wants to do. ”

Xu Wenlong glanced at her obliquely, and said with an urn in his mouth: "Don't be whimsical here!" The tiger's sense of smell is very sensitive, and the slightest smell cannot escape its nose. Therefore, you had better dispel this ridiculous idea for me as soon as possible, lest you lose your life in vain. ”

Yu Wenli's face darkened, and she rolled her eyes and replied unconvinced: "If you don't take risks, if you don't let go of your hands and feet to gamble, how can you get anything?" How can you make a fortune? Just like Xiaobai......"

"Don't tell me about Xiaobai!" Xu Wenlong's face sank, and he glared at Yu Wenli in annoyance and said, "How many times have I told you, dolphins and tigers are two completely different animals. A tame and lovely, a fierce and cruel, how can such a world-apart species be compared and confused? ”

Yu Wenli has always been strong when she is strong, and weak when she is weak. She saw that Xu Wenlong's face suddenly sank like water and was angry for "no reason", and she immediately puffed out her eyes and said-for-tat: "I want to say, I want to say!" Just like Xiaobai, if I hadn't been brave enough to ride on its back, we would still be floating blindfolded in the sea by now, maybe we would have died of thirst and starvation! ”

Xu Wenlong was stunned for a moment, turned his head and silently looked at the angry Yu Wenli. After a long time, he sighed and said: "In short, this is a vital matter of life, and I will never allow you to be willful!" ”

"I'm going to be willful! I'm going to do nonsense! I'm going to check it out! "Yu Wenliniu's temper attack is like a volcano erupting, and there is no way to contain it.

However, Yu Wenli miscalculated this time and encountered hard stubble. As Xu Wenlong said, this is a major event related to life, how can it be regarded as child's play? How can you accommodate her at will? He looked at the hysterical Yu Wenli fixedly, and a word coldly popped out from between his teeth: "If you don't listen to the advice and continue to be obsessed, I will leave immediately and leave you here alone!" ”

"You, you...... Don't you dare! Yu Wenli was shocked when she heard this, and stood up from the ground with a sudden, staring at Xu Wenlong with a red face, her chest panting together, "If you dare to throw me here alone, I will ...... I'll just ......"

Xu Wenlong was unmoved, and still insisted with a straight face: "Of course I dare!" If you dare to take half a step out of this cave tonight, I will immediately go to the opposite hill. Although it is far away, there must be caves as well. ”

"You, you, you ......" Yu Wenli never dreamed that today's Xu Wenlong would be like two people in the past, without giving himself face at all, completely disregarding his dignity. Has he changed? Is he never taking care of himself anymore? She stared blankly at Xu Wenlong, who was as cold as ice, as if she were looking at a monster she had never seen before. After a while, she lay down in the thatched pile, hugged her head and cried. While crying, he danced and shouted, "...... Woowoo...... Let's go...... Let's go...... Let's go now...... Woowoo...... The farther away from me, the better...... I'm not unfamiliar with you...... Not uncommon for your protection...... Woowoo woo ......"

Xu Wenlong sighed, turned around silently, and looked at the sea of rain and waves without saying a word.

The more Yu Wenli cried, the more sad she became, the more she cried, the more sad and angry she became, the pitiful appearance of her shoulders twitching and tears flying, directly taught people to feel pity and comfort. I cried for a long time, but I didn't see Xu Wenlong say anything. She couldn't help but panic, and the crying wind changed with it, whimpering, sad and sad, as if talking to herself, and like a voice in the air: "Woo woo...... Let's go...... Can't I stop watching it...... Leave me...... I'm not going to watch it tonight...... Woowoo woo ......"

Xu Wenlong smiled secretly, then turned around, patted the mournful and crying Yu Wenli on the shoulder and said, "That's right, girls should be obedient." What do you do with such a temper? Who will like you in the future? Okay, don't cry, let's make a fire and roast pork, okay? ”

"Oh no, I'm going to cry!" Yu Wenli said toughly, but in the end, she obediently closed her mouth and stopped crying. She straightened her waist, reached out to wipe the tears on her face, cowered and moved to Xu Wenlong's side, and got into his arms with a bang, pinching his thighs hard, while crying aggrieved, "People ...... People are just talking...... Why don't you pretend to say yes...... Why don't you comfort people...... Hate ......"
