Chapter 8 Hunting

Halfway through, Zhao Zixuan woke up to replace Zhang Xiaohu, and then he lay on the warm ground, guarding the jumping flames, and fell asleep.

In the dream, he seems to have returned to his home, his beautiful mother made his favorite braised pork, his father smiled warmly and kept picking up vegetables for himself, and his pet dog Xiaobai jumped around his legs. And my own GUNPLA yet...

He exhaled and woke up, only to find that Li Yichen was guarding the fire by the fire.

"How long have I been asleep!"

"It's been three or four hours since I woke up! Senior, you don't sleep well and you've been breaking out in a cold sweat! Li Yichen said.

"yes!" Zhang Xiaohu wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned against the fire, took out a few berries and roasted them, he handed one to Li Yichen, and said, "Eat one!" Li Yichen shook his head and refused: "Senior, I'm not hungry, let's keep it!" I know, we're running out of food! ”

"Actually, it's okay, if it's baked like this, we don't have to worry, but after all the roasting, we don't have a water source, so the water is the most important thing now, but it's pitch black, and we can't look for it, alas! I'm in a hurry! Zhang Xiaohu felt that talking to Li Yichen about these things was like saying to Zhao Zixuan, that guy would not come up with any good ways if he knew, but Li Yichen was quick thinking and believed that she would come up with some good methods.

"Senior, do you know the diversity of organisms?" Li Yichen suddenly asked.

"Hmmm! A little bit of understanding, what's wrong. Zhang Xiaohu was very curious about why his elementary school girl suddenly asked this.

"Senior, haven't we seen any moving objects since we got here?"

"Well, yes!"

"But just now, while you were sleeping, I saw a strange animal outside the fire, watching us for a long time before walking away. I think this place is silent during the day, and many creatures only come out at night, of course, this is all my guess. ”

"What an animal!" When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he nervously grabbed the weapon in his hand, and then he realized that Li Yichen had been holding his knife in his hand. It seems that this girl was also scared at that time.

"Well, I didn't see it clearly! That guy seems to be this long. Li Yichen stretched out his hands and gestured, about thirty centimeters. The head is pointy, and the eyes are surprisingly large".

"If it comes back, I'll make it our food!" Zhang Xiaohu knocked on the ground with the weapon in his hand, leaving a shallow pit.

The two men sat in front of the fire and did not speak for a moment. After a while, Li Yichen looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Senior, speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet!" ”

"Thank me for what!"

"You brought us to the food, and now you have made this fire so that I can make a fire in the dark of night, and I really thank you!"

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Because we are classmates!" We are a trusted partner of each other! ”

"Senior, I really think you're so mature, and you always speak in an adult's tone." Li Yichen said with a smile.

"What are you two talking about behind my back?" Zhao Zixuan didn't know when he woke up, and grabbed Zhang Xiaohu and Li Yichen, "The two of them are sneaky, they have to harm the master!" ”

"So much nonsense!" Zhang Xiaohu scolded with a smile, he felt a warmth rise in his heart, in this case, there can be two companions who trust him so much, and he suddenly swept away the previous haze, and people were also in good spirits.

As the old saying goes, "The night is long!" Zhang Xiaohu finally felt the meaning of this sentence. They saw that the wood burned less and less, and that they ate less and less food, but the night did not fade away.

"This night won't be as long as seven or eight days!" Zhao Zixuan also began to worry.

"Chances are, we need to plan it well, or we won't make it through the day." Zhang Xiaohu looked at the remaining half of the wood and suggested.

"I think so, let's make a few torches for lighting, and two of us go and look for some wood or something, and leave one here to watch the fire. Lao Zhang, what should I do with my idea! Zhao Zixuan proposed his own solution.

"It's a bit too risky, we don't know the situation outside, in case of an accident, isn't it even worse for the rest of the people!" Zhang Xiaohu thought about it seriously and said.

"We try not to go far, to make sure the guards can see us! In this way, we also have a look for each other. Zhao Zixuan added.

"Hmmm! That's all there is to it. Zhang Xiaohu looked at the remaining wood and reluctantly agreed to this method.

He and Zhao Zixuan prepared a few torches, both holding self-defense weapons in their hands, carefully searched around, and the two of them quickly walked back with a pile of wood.

Seeing that the solution was feasible, the two of them gradually moved away from the fire and expanded the scope of their search, but they did not expect that there was an unexpected gain, and under a bush, they found a hole of thirty centimeters.

"Lao Zhang, guess what's inside?" Zhao Zixuan asked.

"Beasts! Drug addict! It's nothing more than these two things, and there must be water hidden in it. Zhang Xiaohu replied. At the same time, he held a torch in one hand and shook the meteor hammer in the other.

"It's better to be a beast, I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

The two of them walked to the cave and shone it with torches, and found that the entrance of the cave began to twist and turn when it went straight to about a meter, and they couldn't see the situation inside at all.

"Smoke it with smoke and see what's inside." After Zhao Zixuan finished speaking, he lit a wooden stick, still at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time handed the torch to Zhang Xiaohu, and urinated on the lit wooden stick, and suddenly, a burst of white smoke spread inward along the hole.

"Lao Zhao, you still have a way." Zhang Xiaohu boasted.

"Master has a way." Zhao Zixuan said with a smile.

They waited for more than ten minutes, and then they heard Li Yichen call their names again from a distance, they waved their torches, signaled to hear, and then looked intently at the entrance of the cave.

Soon, there was a situation in the cave, and a black head poked out at once, looking at the two people standing at the entrance of the cave in horror. When it was too late, Zhang Xiaohu's meteor hammer struck the beast's head like lightning, and suddenly there was a muffled "bang", and the beast the size of a domestic dog slid out weakly along the hole entrance.

"Yes, my brother Zhang!" Zhao Zixuan grabbed the beast's tail and lifted it up, "It's quite heavy, it must be twenty or thirty pounds." It's not a problem to eat now. ”

Zhang Xiaohu grabbed the beast and took a closer look, the beast looked ugly, covered with short black hair. There were two huge eyes on his head, a tongue full of barbs hanging outside his mouth, and a huge mouth full of fangs was constantly flowing out of the beast's blood, and he died completely.

They carried their prey and returned to the fire, but Li Yichen was startled, and the two of them caught such a big beast.

All three of them had no experience in slaughtering, and the prey was in front, and several people were at a loss.

"Lao Zhang, it's better for you to do this job." Zhao Zixuan looked at Zhang Xiaohu, "You are our boss, and you also brought this prey, you are responsible!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu held the knife, but he didn't dare to start, he looked at the expectant eyes of the two, was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said: "For the revolutionary cause!" Get out! With a single sword, the monster's head was sliced off, and a smell of blood wafted through. It smoked so much that he retched!

But the work at hand could not be stopped, the knife along the belly disemboweling the prey, he endured the nausea, took out the internal organs of the belly one by one, all by the fire, a small peel off the whole skin, in many places the cut is crooked, but it is still very complete. He then dismembered the beast, threaded it with a long stick, and laid it on the fire, and cut all the flesh that was left into thin strips, and roasted it by the fire. After doing this, he shook the blood off his hand and asked, "How is it!" Good job, right? ”

Zhao Zixuan looked at Zhang Xiaohu blankly with a surprised expression on his face, and replied: "Lao Zhang, I swear that I will never mess with you in the future!" ”
