"Being alone with the eldest grandson tonight is something I've always dreamed of, what a happy and wonderful thing!" Li Shimin was very happy in his heart, very happy. Hurry up and find firewood.

Fortunately, it was autumn and winter, and there were a lot of dry branches and dead wood, and he had collected a lot of them in less than half an hour, enough for a night tonight.

The sky has darkened, Xia Xue still hasn't come back, Li Shimin has become restless, the eldest grandson girl won't have any accidents.

He pulled out the sword at his waist and was about to go to look for it, when he suddenly saw Xia Xue's shadow coming from a distance, she was carrying a hare and a pheasant in her hand, and it seemed that she had gained a lot.

Xia Xue lifted the prey proudly to Li Shimin, and smiled playfully, "The harvest is okay, we can have a full meal tonight." ”

Making a fire is never easy. Xia Xue did not rush to light the fire, but ran to the creek first, found a few large pebbles, and surrounded the pebbles in a circle on the camp. Doing so is equivalent to building a small stove, which can make the firewood burn more intensively, and the efficiency of grilling things can be improved a lot. Then she picked up the branch that Li Shimin had collected, twisted the twig into a small stick of about ten centimeters, and cut the big branch into a wooden stick twenty centimeters long. She first put the stick in the stove, and then spread the dead leaves on top of the stick.

She pulled out the dagger strapped to her calf, and took the high-energy flint and steel from the handle of the dagger, and easily ignited the dead leaves. As the leaves burned, the flames gradually flickered. She lay on the sand, blew lightly on the fire, and then kept stirring the firewood, and within five minutes, the small stove was burning vigorously. She kept adding longer branches to the inside, making the flame burn even brighter.

Then carry the prey to the stream downstream of the campfire, disembowel, pluck and peel the pheasant and hare, clean it, and fill it with its own high-tech kettle upstream to let it sit for a while, and wait for the special substances in the kettle to sterilize and disinfect the stream water. Although the water of the stream looks clean, there may be various animal carcasses and feces soaked in the water somewhere upstream, so it is best not to drink it directly. Xia Xue is very proficient in these wilderness survival skills.

Although there are no arrows today, Xia Xue easily hit a pheasant with a secret weapon anesthetic pistol, the anesthetic bullet is the latest high-efficiency anesthetic, which can instantly and deeply inhibit the cerebral cortex, make people or animals lose consciousness and relax muscles, but it is non-toxic, harmless and non-residue, so the animals that hit it can be eaten with confidence.

She didn't tell Li Shimin about this secret, no matter who the high-tech items of the future society are, Xia Xue will keep them strictly secret.

Hares were caught by designing a simple hunting trap.

While hunting in the mountains and forests, Xia Xue found something suspicious. Between the trees, weeds were overgrown, some of which were flattened along a curve and stood out on the ground.

Xia Xue squatted down, carefully removed some weeds with a knife, and after careful observation, found that there were many granular animal excrements under this curved passage. Crushing it by hand also allows you to squeeze out a portion of the liquid. Xia Xue stood up happily and wiped her hands clean. It seems that this is a rabbit's "highway". The grass has been trampled by hares for a long time, forming a path in the meadow, and there must have been rabbits passing through it for a long time. So what Xia Xue has to do is to take advantage of the hare's habit of liking to go the old way, and design a simple trap to catch it!

This doesn't require a complicated design or preparation, just a string and a thick wooden stick. Xia Xue took local materials, cut down a branch from the big tree next to her, and shaved the branch with a knife to sharpen the end. On the other side, Xia Xue tied a simple loopknot with string. This knot is as simple as wrapping the rope around one end in a circle, then reversing the end of the rope into a circle, and finally pulling the end of the rope tight. If there is nothing in the circle, then the other end of the rope will be unknotted at once. If something is placed in the circle, the thing will be tightened by the rope under the pull of the rope, and small animals like hares, as long as their heads are lassoed, will struggle to suffocate to death.

After tying the looper, Xia Xue tied the other end of the looper to the thick wooden stick that had been sharpened just now, and for the sake of safety, Xia Xue also tied two double-ring fixed knots. Xia Xue stuck a thick wooden stick into the dirt and knocked it into the soil with a stone to prevent the rabbit from breaking free. Then Xia Xue opened the circle of the rope noose, supported the circle with a small wooden stick, and hung it on the rabbit's passage.

When it was done, Xia Xue quietly left the place where the trap was placed and continued to look for other prey. After all, traps can only be lucky. If you want to catch your prey safely, you still need to catch it yourself.

After shooting a pheasant, Xia Xue quickly returned to the place where the trap was laid according to the original route, and her heart was full of anticipation.

Really! It really paid off, and as soon as I arrived here, I saw a big gray hare caught alive on the rope sleeve of the stake! Xia Xue hurriedly ran over, only to see that the front legs of the big gray rabbit were stiffly stuck, and it fell to the ground sideways, constantly fluttering its cute short legs, but unfortunately the more it struggled, the more it couldn't escape.

Rabbit meat is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol meat, rabbit meat protein content is as high as 70%, higher than general meat, and the fat and cholesterol content is lower than all meat, so it has a "meat in the vegetarian" saying. Rabbit meat is known as "beauty meat" and is often eaten as a beauty and health food. What's more, this is still a hare, and the nutritional value has increased exponentially, and Xia Xue is overjoyed.

Xia Xue carried the washed prey, returned to the campfire, taught Li Shimin to build a shelf with a branch, sharpened one end of a long branch with a dagger, and then put rabbit meat and chicken meat on the branch, put it on the shelf, and slowly flipped the barbecue. After a few minutes of roasting, the aroma slowly spreads, and after a few more minutes, the color of the meat becomes darker and the aroma is stronger. The tantalizing aroma caused Li Shimin to swallow his saliva, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the rabbit and chicken, which had been roasted to a browned and fragrant oil.

Xia Xue saw Li Shimin's gluttony, sneered, cut a piece of rabbit meat with a dagger and sent it to Li Shimin, "It's cooked, you can eat it, you can taste it." ”

Li Shimin took the rabbit meat, and he didn't care about the heat, so he stuffed it into his mouth and feasted on it, only to feel that his mouth was fragrant, and the aroma was overflowing, and he praised it inarticulate while eating: "It's so fragrant, this is the most delicious rabbit meat I've ever eaten in my life!" ”

In less than half an hour, the two swept away the cooked rabbit meat and chicken. They hadn't eaten all day, and the two of them were indeed hungry, especially Li Shimin. After eating the barbecue, Li Shimin wiped his mouth with satisfaction, he felt that he was so happy today, he was so happy and satisfied to be able to eat the food barbecued by the goddess he admired in his heart, and his face was full of happy and satisfied smiles.

Xia Xue took out the picnic folding pot again, poured the purified stream water in the kettle into the small pot after deformation, put it on the fire and boiled, and then the two drank some hot water, and the stomach was warm and comfortable.

"I see that there are fish in the creek, and I will make a fishing cage so that tomorrow we will have fish soup to drink." Xia Xue said as she used a dagger to cut some rattan nearby, and then found some branches and deftly weaved them with her slender jade hands.

Li Shimin watched Xia Xue's slender hands fly up and down, weaving like a dance, not only stunned. "What an amazing girl this is, looking only about thirteen or fourteen years old, how can she understand so many things, these hands are so beautiful, not only good-looking but also so dexterous and capable, such a girl may never find a second one in the world. How lucky and happy it would be if I could get her love! ”

In a few moments, the fishing cage was ready. Li Shimin took a closer look and found that the fishing cage was composed of two parts, the outside was a large cage with only one large entrance, and inside the cage was a small cage with a large entrance and a small trumpet-like entrance, the large end of the small cage was stuck near the entrance of the large cage, and the small end of the exit was inside the large cage. He asked Xia Xue puzzled, why it was compiled like this.

Xia Xue explained that put the fishing cage in the water, and put some bait that the fish like to eat at the bottom of the big cage outside, so that the fish will swim in from the entrance of the big cage, but because the entrance of the small cage inside is also larger, it is stuck at the entrance of the big cage, and the stuck between the two is very tight, and the fish can't swim through. The fish had to swim through the entrance of the small cage to the bottom of the large cage to eat the bait. However, when it eats the bait and wants to come out, because the small cage is designed to be large at the top and small at the bottom, it is easy to swim in the exit inside, but it is difficult to come out again, so that the fish can be caught.

After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized that he was amazed again and again.

Xia Xue chopped up some of the entrails of the hares and pheasants she had just taken out with a dagger and put them at the bottom of the large cage of the fishing cage, and then put them in the small cage and stuck them. I found a place where there were a lot of fish, blocked the water with a stone to make the outlet narrow, and then placed the fishing cage in the water at the outlet, and fixed the cage with a rope to the large stones on both sides of the stream.

After doing all this, Xia Xue clapped her hands and turned back to the campfire. smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Tomorrow, please drink fish soup, hehe!" ”
