Walked to the campfire, picked up his military kettle, drank a few sips and put it back, then picked up Xu Qiang's kettle and walked to the ditch and handed it to Xu Qiang, who was still digging a ditch.

"Brother Qiang, drink some water and rest for a while!"

"Thank you." Taking the kettle, Xu Qiang sat on the edge of the ditch, drank all the warm water in one go, took a breath and looked at the back basket behind Luo Fatzi with a smile.

"Ready? It looks good, and you can teach me when you go back. Come on, I'll try it too. After speaking, he reached out and took the basket on the fat man's back and put it on his own back, and walked back and forth, which was more suitable for his body shape.

"Looks like you're made up of my body, thank you for the gift! I took it. ”

"Hehe, you're strong now, carry more of it, and I'll make up another one tomorrow night." What's next? ”

"Well, it's going to be dug pretty much right, and it can be done tomorrow, so I'll take a break now. We still have to do two things, one is for you to peel off the skin of the last piece of black-backed brown wolf and practice more; The second is that I go and cut the meat of the dire wolf into pieces, and then I go to set up a smoking rack, and now we get more and more meat, and it is better to be able to store some of it. I feel that the temperature is a bit high today, and it should be about to enter summer according to the time, and the meat is not easy to preserve, so it can only be preserved by smoking without salt. Some of the traps can be removed there, reducing the capture of small animals, leaving only those two sharp knife traps and heavy object traps for use. Xu Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and made changes to the next hunting plan.

"Okay, Brother Qiang, I'm going to clean up that wolf, it's really a little hot, and I saw a fly-like insect flying next to the wolf corpse today! It looks weird, it's about three times the size of a fly we've seen, it has five compound eyes, and it has a horn on its head! ”

"Really? If you find something to discover, you call me to go over and have a look. ”

"Okay, Brother Qiang, let's go!"

Luo Fatzi played a strange trick, brought a straight knife, lit a torch, came to the bamboo forest, and began to clean up the last wolf.

After Xu Qiang rested for a while, he resisted the headless dire wolf that was placed in the trunk of the off-road vehicle to a piece of grass, with a wooden pier next to it. Turning around, he took an axe and a few large leaves, and began to cut the wolf.

Xu Qiang flattened the wolf's body, put his back on the ground, gently cut the wolf's belly, and took out all the internal organs and threw them aside. Then the wolf's body was placed on a wooden pier, and the four front and rear legs were first cut off and placed on the leaves, and then cut down from the ribcage, the sternum was very hard, but it could not escape the chopping of modern steel axes, and after five or six axes, the sternum was split. Using a long wooden stick to split the ribcage to the sides, the ribs are cut one by one along the side of the spine, and the two ribs are cut.

Looking at the light of the campfire, there is basically no fat on the dire wolf's body, only a thin layer on the belly, which is not very uniform. Although he has been dead for more than ten hours, his muscles are still very elastic, and he believes that the meat of this dire wolf should be very chewy, Xu Qiang wants to roast a front leg tomorrow night to taste it, but this will he have to hurry up and build a bacon rack.

The material for the shelf is the pine tops cut down from the wood, which are the thickness of a fist. First, six pine poles are used to build two A-shaped wooden frames, and the horizontal wooden poles are tied to the middle of the waist, and then three pine poles are tied to the top and waist of the two A-shaped wooden frames, and the A-shaped wooden frames are two meters apart. After the support is placed on the ground, the six pine poles are cut into about two meters and two with a handsaw, and then the six short wooden poles are tied vertically to the two horizontal poles at the waist of the A-shaped wooden frame, parallel to the horizontal timber at the bottom of the A-shaped wooden frame.

At this point, this simple bacon rack is basically built, just wait for tomorrow to pick some big leaves to come and close the bacon rack, and light some pine branches that can produce smoke to smoke wolf meat. However, you can't leave the wolf jerky tonight, move a few burning firewoods and put them under the bacon rack, and put the wolf meat flat on the rack to start drying the water.

After doing all this, before Xu Qiang could free up his hand to throw away the pile of internal organs, Luo Fatzi's greeting came.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, come and see, that kind of fly is flying again."

Xu Qiang didn't care about the pile of internal organs, turned his head and walked to the fat man's side, while Luo Fat Man took the torch and approached the side of the wolf corpse that had been half stripped away, so that Xu Qiang could see more clearly.

Indeed, as he said, it was an insect with five eyes on its head, the head was large, accounting for one-third of the length of its body, in the middle of the head was a pair of large red compound eyes, there was a single horn in front, and there were two S-shaped knot-like antennae on either side of the horn, and under the body were six long legs, like spider legs, and the body was glowing with a bright green light, and a pair of transparent wings kept flapping, circling around the corpse of the black-backed brown wolf, and did not run away when he saw someone coming, and focused his attention on the stinking carrion in front of him. But after it flew in a circle, it flew upwards, stopped on a bamboo branch and remained motionless.

The putrid smell on the body of the wolf corpse has a tendency to gradually increase, and it is difficult for Luo Fat, I didn't mean to smell the smell for so long. Xu Qiang felt a little self-reproach in his heart, but then his eyes fell on the insect again.

"This is the one-horned ancient fly, an insect from ancient times that can be counted as the ancestor of the modern fly. Leave it alone, quickly finish skinning this wolf, bury the corpse nearby, and I'll help you. ”

"The one-horned ancient fly, this name is quite vivid." The fat man habitually wiped his lips with his fingers, regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not.

Ten minutes later, the two of them peeled off the wolf's skin, spread it flat on the grass, sprinkled a layer of grass ash and hung it there. Xu Qiang turned around and took the pile of internal organs, and buried them by the bamboo forest with the wolf corpse. The two took the tools and the torch back to the camp together, extinguished the torch, Luo Fatzi picked up a handful of soil from the ground and rubbed it back and forth in his hand, while complaining to Brother Qiang:

"Alas, this wolf is really dirty, his hands are full of blood and oil, and he can't wipe it clean, so he can only use this soil method to get rid of the oil, if only there was a piece of soap."

"Hey, yes, you reminded me, let's save more fat from the animals and make some soap, this is relatively simple, I know how to do it."

"Really, Brother Qiang, I'm just talking about it, can I really make soap?"

"Of course!" Xu Qiang looked proud, and also learned from Luo Fatzi to grab a handful of soil from the ground and rub it back and forth in the palm of his hand, turned around and walked towards the stream, rinsed his hands, and followed Luo Fatzi's follow-up after washing his face.

And on a small hill that the two of them didn't notice, a dire wolf stared at their camp, its eyes glowing green, and in a flash, the dire wolf turned away from here and disappeared into the dense jungle behind him.

After the two returned to the camp together, Xu Qiang raised a lit torch and went to check the warning traps in three directions and the rope noose by the bamboo forest, and then prepared to rest.

Before going to bed, the two of them summarized the work done today as usual, and after combing the work for tomorrow, they slowly fell asleep. Not far away, there was an unknown insect chirping, pleasant and crisp, in the silent night sky, far away. But soon the insect's cry came to an abrupt end, and a figure emerged from the grass, glanced into the camp, and then turned and dived towards the edge of the bamboo forest, for fear of waking up the two hairless monkeys who could master the terrifying heavenly fire.
