Chapter 1906: The Taboo of the Leopard
Wan Lin and Xiao Ya looked at each other and smiled, raised their feet and walked towards a few rocks on the shore of the lake, and then took off the backpack behind them and sat down on the rocks by the lake.
The two of them sat on the rocks and slowly breathed the true qi on their bodies, looking at the two leopards up and down in the water with a smile in their eyes, knowing that they were feasting in the water at this time, enjoying the fresh fish in the water.
After a while, Xie Chao walked back with a large pile of dead branches, he used a few large pebbles to set a small circle around the lake, and then put the dead branches in the middle of the stones, took out the lighter that Wan Lin gave him and took a look, and then carefully lit a dead branch and put it under the firewood, "Sigh" A stream of flames suddenly emerged from the firewood, and in a blink of an eye, a bunch of raging flames were ignited.
Xie Chao looked at the lighter in his hand happily, then carefully put it in his pocket, took out a pottery flat kettle and stood up, and said to Wan Lin and Xiaoya, who were resting and practicing on the side: "Big brother, big sister, give me your kettle, and I'll fill some lake water."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a circle of ripples suddenly on the surface of the lake, and then he saw two small hairy heads emerging from the water, and then a big silver-white fish suddenly rose on the surface of the water, and the two kittens were biting the head and tail of the big fish with their big mouths, and they were quickly pushing the big fish to the shore.
Xie Chao looked at the strange scene in front of him dumbfounded, and only then did he understand that Brother Wan said that he was invited to eat grilled fish, and it turned out that two kittens had gone into the lake to catch big fish for them.
He ran to the shore in surprise, bent down and pushed the two kittens to the shore and grabbed the big fish, grabbed the gills and lifted the big fish up, this big fish was nearly half a meter long, the white scales flashed silver in the sun, and weighed seven or eight pounds.
Wan Lin and Xiao Ya also stood up from the stone with a smile, Wan Lin took a step forward and glanced at the big fish that was wagging its tail slightly, and said to Xie Chao with a smile: "I didn't lie to you, right?" Let's go, let's clean up and eat grilled fish in a while! As he spoke, he took a folding knife handed over by Xiao Ya and called Xie Chao to the side.
It didn't take long for Xie Chao to walk back to the fire with the big fish he had cleaned up, holding the military dagger captured in the forest in his hand. At this time, Xiaoya had already filled the kettle with water and put it on the fire.
Xie Chao turned around and handed the big fish to Wan Lin, and then ran to the edge of the forest behind, and after a while, he ran back with a pile of firewood and a bamboo with the thickness of his wrists, and quickly fixed the big fish on the bamboo pole, made a simple barbecue grill with branches and bamboo, and then put the big fish on the top of the fire and slowly rotated.
Wan Lin and Xiaoya looked at the excited Xie Chao with a smile, knowing that they had lived in the mountains and forests for a long time and were very good at making these wild games.
After a while, the smell of meat came out of the fire, and the big silver fish had turned burnt yellow.
Xie Chao quickly used the dagger in his hand to slice out a few pieces of golden croaker fillets, handed them to Xiaoya and Wan Lin and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, your two kittens are awesome" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two leopards lying lazily basking in the sun on the stones on the side.
Wan Lin tasted the scorched fish fillets on the outside and tender on the inside, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, with our Xiaohua and Xiaobai, we can't be hungry" As he spoke, he also turned his head to look at the two leopards.
Xiaohua and Xiaobai were lying on the rocks comfortably, their heads clinging to the sun-warmed rocks, their tails raised and slowly shaking at Wan Lin, looking careless.
Xiao Ya chewed the deliciousness, turned her head to see the appearance of the two leopards, and laughed with a "poof": "Stinky virtue, it's still angry!" Come here and try the grilled fish fillet made by Brother Xiaochao."
When the two leopards heard Xiao Ya's words, they raised their heads and sniffed vigorously, then lay their heads on the rocks again, their eyes slightly closed, and they looked disdainful.
Several people laughed. Wan Lin got up and stood up and said to Xie Chao: "You can eat some too, I'll bake it", Xie Chao smiled and waved his hand and said: "You are guests, how can you let you bake!" You eat first, such a big fish, enough for us to eat"......
Several people had a delicious meal. Wan Lin patted his stomach, smiled and looked at Xiaoya beside him, and saw that there was no longer a tired look on her face, so he turned his head to Xie Chao and asked, "Are we going to rush over overnight or will we leave tomorrow morning?" ”
He was worried that Xie Chao's skills were weak and he couldn't bear this kind of continuous march in the mountains, so he specially asked for his opinion.
Xie Chao extinguished the fire, turned his head to look at Sister Wan on the side, and said with a smile: "Let's go overnight, we hunters often chase prey, sometimes we don't have much rest for several days, this mountain road is not a problem for us" said, and looked at the military dagger in his hand fondly and said: "This knife is so fast!" ”
Wan Lin got up and stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Ya up and said: "Of course, these are military daggers, extremely sharp, you should be careful when you use them" He said, and shouted to Xiaohua and Xiaobai: "Xiaohua, Xiaobai, let's go."
The two leopards seemed to be impatient to wait, and when they heard Wan Lin's words, they jumped up from the rocks, ran around, looked down and smelled the grass, turned around and ran along the shore into the distance.
Wan Lin and the three of them hurriedly picked up their backpacks and quickly followed. Xie Chao looked at the two kittens in front of him fondly as he walked, and said enviously: "Your two kittens are awesome, I originally wanted to have a pet, but the cold animals on our mountain can't stand it, and when I was a child, I raised a few of them either secretly ran away by myself or died." You two kittens are so powerful, you are not afraid of the cold on the mountain."
At this time, the two leopards who were running left and right on the grass by the lake, looking for the smell of the target, heard the newly recognized young man behind them, always calling them "kittens" and "kittens", at this time suddenly stopped, turned their heads and stared at Xie Chao viciously, grinning fiercely.
Xie Chao, who was walking more than ten meters behind them with Wan Lin, suddenly saw the two kittens stop and threaten him, so he was so frightened that he quickly stopped, and immediately pressed his hand on the scimitar handle on his waist. He had seen two kittens on the top of the mountain, and he was really nervous.
Xiaoya in the back "giggled" when she saw the appearance of the two leopards, and came over to Xie Chao and said, "Don't call us leopard kittens, see if they are unhappy" Saying, she waved her hand to the two leopards and said, "You want to call us Xiaohua and Xiaobai, right?" ”
Xiao Chao realized that he had committed the taboo of two little leopards, and quickly let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife and clenched his fists with both hands, and hugged his fists at the two kittens in front of him who were staring at him viciously, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's Xiaohua and Xiaobai", the two leopards stared at him fiercely, and then turned around and continued to run forward.
