Seeing Lian Yue, Apu was also a little surprised.

His head and face were a little wet, and there were some traces of ash on his face and body, and he was not injured, but a little embarrassed.

"Ah Yue, are you rushing back?" Looking around, as if puzzled, he asked her again, "What about them?" ”

"They went back with their prey first, and I came to wait for you."

Hearing Lian Yue say this, a hint of a smile appeared on Apu's black and red face, he quickly jumped down from the tree, walked to Lian Yue's side, and said very embarrassedly: "Ah Yue, thank you." ”

"You got rid of all the bloodthirsty insects?" Lian Yue was curious, listening to what Sal meant, the number of bloodthirsty insects that Apu had taken away was a little more than that here, so she was also a little worried.

"Hmmm! They weren't as fast as I was, so I ran to the front, left a few marks along the way, and threw the fawn over the two hills before coming back. ”

Generally speaking, the nearby mountains are a natural barrier for the tribe to hunt, and the hunting team usually does not go too far from the range of Romir. This avoids a lot of unnecessary dangers, and of course, in the winter, when there is a shortage of food, if there is no way, the orcs will also climb over the mountains and forests to find food.

Seeing that Lian Yue seemed worried, Apu raised his hand, wiped his wet cheeks and hair, and said, "I have washed all the blood stains on my body, and they will not come after me again." ”

Lian Yue nodded to believe his words, this handsome man who always looked honest, then split his face and laughed happily.

"Let's go, since you're back safely, let's go back." Lian Yue's legs were not as long as his, so he naturally walked in front.

Along the way, Lian Yue naturally didn't forget to learn about the bloodthirsty insects from Apu, in fact, they didn't know where the bloodthirsty insects came from, only that in Romir's records, the bloodthirsty insects appeared a total of three times.

The first time was when our ancestors had just migrated to the Black Forest.

In a hunt, encountered a small tide of bloodthirsty insects, and they ate all their prey without checking for a while, and several tribesmen who went up to stop it were also gnawed away, and from then on, Romir's tribesmen, seeing bloodthirsty insects, will definitely stay away as soon as possible.

The second time, it was a woman who went out to pick and spotted the bloodthirsty insects around the tribe.

However, this time, the bloodthirsty insects only migrated through the jungle, without the lure of food, and even if they were inadvertently trampled by the orcs in panic and fleeing, they did not show aggression towards the orcs passing by.

The third time was ten years ago, when the Assam team was hunting.

The tribal people already have a certain understanding of bloodthirsty insects, that is, they are bloodthirsty and afraid of fire, they are not fast, only have no bloody breath and wounds, and even if they encounter insect tides, they are not in danger of life.

Just as the team finished the hunt and was about to return to the city, the bloody smell of the prey, the subtle wounds on the bodies of the members of the hunting team, all this made them have nothing to hide, no matter how they escaped, the bloodthirsty insect tide always stayed behind them until they were exhausted.

In the end, the entire team was wiped out except for one who escaped without being injured, and the last person to escape was the current leader of the tribe, Bin.

From then on, Romir made a rule that when the tribesmen encountered bloodthirsty insects, the first thing they would do was to go as far as they could, and even, not to try to get rid of them in circles with bloodthirsty insects.

So when the old people in the tribe knew that they had encountered bloodthirsty insects again, and Sal made such a decision in order to protect his prey, they all disagreed, because such a risky move would cost his life if he was not careful.

......

Today is destined to be a day of great harvest, not only Sal's team, but also several other hunting teams are also full today.

When I returned to the tribe and met everyone, I was all beaming.

"Ah Yue!" Meimi saw Lian Yue in the square, and her face was full of smiles, "Today is really a bumper harvest." ”

Lian Yue nodded and responded to her with a smile.

Apu on the side, carrying a small Huan beast in his hand, it was a rabbit-sized white beast, and was about to hand it over to the women in the tribe to deal with the arrangement, but the meow king didn't know where to pounce, a flutter, and easily took the little Huan beast about the same size as it into his mouth.

"Little cub, don't play to death." Apu was not angry, let go and gave it to King Meow, and only gave it a word of advice and left it alone.

"Meow~" King Meow seemed to respond to him, put down his mouth, and played with the little Huan beast on the ground.

The little thing was very scared, without the threat of shackling the back of its neck, and its first reaction was naturally to prepare to escape, but how could its speed be comparable to the silver leopard clan, the meow king caught up with it very easily, and suppressed it with a claw, so scared that it did not dare to run again.

Lian Yue watched King Meow play majestic in front of small animals, playing very energetically, and couldn't help laughing. When the other little cubs saw that there was a lot of excitement here, they all rushed over to play with King Meow.

Apu was naturally not interested in these children's plays, so he only explained a few words to King Meow, and then left on his own.

It's not interesting for even Tsukimi to stay here, and he wants to find something to do, and seeing that Meimi plans to go to the river to help, he naturally wants to see and understand.

By the river, Nana led the group to pack up their prey, and the men were in charge of collecting the fur and head horns and other usable things, and they used stone knives to separate the flesh little by little, and remove the fur from the animals. The women are in charge of dividing and washing the pieces of meat that follow the texture and cut off pieces of meat of the right size, which are washed and placed on the wide leaves.

There is a lot of prey this time, and in addition to the part eaten today, half of it can be left as reserve food.

Usually, they will air dry the food, or dip it in water.

Wait until you need it again to take it out and eat it, but this practice also requires the cooperation of the weather, and at present, no matter what method is taken this season, it is a good choice.

However, Lian Yue has tasted the food they have stored, and the air-dried food itself has no taste, and the meat is dry and woody, so it is difficult to chew at all. Only when the broth is boiled, a little salt is added, and after boiling, it becomes soft and rotten, so it barely has some taste, and it is neither delicious nor unpleasant.

The water-soaked food, on the other hand, is more flavorful because of the addition of some fruit and salt, which is somewhat similar to canned bacon. However, the storage time is not too long, once the weather is hot, if it is not stored properly, the upper part is easy to spoil.

Lian Yue suddenly thought that in her previous life, during the migration in the last days, her mother used the only materials around her to make bacon.

At that time, supplies were scarce, and there were few ready-made foods that could be found in the city.

However, in order to ensure that there was enough food on the migration route, the mother tried a way to make a batch of mutated bacon with the only salt and other condiments around her and the mutated animal meat she had hunted before, which was this batch of meat, so that the whole family successfully migrated to the southwest base with the large army.

And here, for people who have lived in a civilized society for a long time, isn't it also a shortage of materials?

Rock salt, green sour fruit, and pepper fruit are the only seasonings here.

In the previous life, bacon could be made with only salt and a small amount of condiments.

Here, the meat is more tender and fatty, and the resulting food is more unpalatable?

Mother often said, anyway, it's the same as cooking, what materials you have, how to do it, you can always make something, if it's not delicious, just adjust it, and the living can change their urine and suffocate to death.

Thinking of this, Lian Yue was instantly full of confidence, and the meal would be cooked, are you still afraid of making bacon? Isn't it just adding salt and then smoking, what's so difficult about this, it's not like I haven't seen my mother and grandmother do it in my previous life.
