Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 23: Catching Game
"Humph! Fat man, I'll go! Let's go, Xiaotian, let's go together. After the fat man finished speaking, he walked over to me, it seemed that the fat man wanted to pull me along, I looked at Chen Haoyue was still on the side, and I was naturally a little worried, but at this time, Brother Wang nodded to me, I thought that what he promised should not be broken.
The fat man looked at the gun in the hand of the lynx, and wanted to take the gun, but was glared at by Brother Wang, and the look told us not to let us bring the gun, I smiled bitterly and nodded, so I had to take a steel pipe with the fat man and enter the dark grass.
I walked with the fat man and asked, "Are you still sure about going to find the dragon candle this time?" ”
"Fat man, if I remember correctly, didn't you tell Brother Wang that there is a clue?" The fat man said angrily to me.
"Cut, didn't I plan first, or we would have died there." I said as I smoked.
"Hey, let's take one step at a time, catch a pheasant to fill your stomach first, and then escape when you go up the mountain to find a chance." The fat man said.
"Pheasants are so difficult to catch, they have a very sensitive sense of hearing and vision, and they can fly, what can you do?" I asked the fat man.
"Wait a minute, you'll see what your fat master is." After the fat man finished speaking, he took out a large net from his pocket, and I saw that this guy really had a way, and it seemed that he wanted to use the fishing net to catch chickens.
Along the way, I walked with the fat man along the sound of pheasants for half an hour, and came to a dense grass, a squeaky sound came, I and the fat man quietly walked over and took a closer look under the reflection of the night light, it was a few eggs that had just broken out of the shell, and there were two sleeping pheasants next to them, it seemed that these two pheasants were taking turns to hatch the eggs.
The fat man carefully stepped back and whispered to me, "While they are still asleep, after a while I cast my net, you will beat me hard with a steel pipe until they faint to death." ”
I nodded to signal the fat man to understand, only to see the fat man prop up the fishing net, like a fisherman sprinkled on the pheasant, watching the fat man's skillful movements, I thought to myself that the fat man is not only feng shui tomb robbery, even the sea fishing is also good, really an all-round person.
Before the two pheasants could react, the fishing nets above their heads fell instantly, and the two pheasants opened their eyes vigilantly, but unfortunately it was too late, the more they struggled, the more the fishing nets died, and the pheasants' feathers were entangled in the fishing nets, fluttering and fluttering.
When I saw it, I quickly picked up the steel pipe in my hand, and swung it fiercely on the head of the pheasant, and a few bastards went down, and the pheasant didn't have time to dodge in the panic, and was hit in the head at once, and I and the fat man beat a few more hard sticks until the two pheasants passed out.
The fat man and I picked up a pheasant and looked at it, these two weighed seven or eight pounds together, and the fat man looked at the newborn chick on the side, wiped his saliva, and muttered in a low voice: What kind of pheasant stewed mushrooms, barbecue pheasants, very serious injuries need to be repaired and other nonsense.
A few chicks in the chicken coop that had just broken their shells squeaked, like children who had lost their loved ones, I couldn't bear to see it, and hurriedly stopped the fat man, these two big ones are enough to eat, but don't kill innocents indiscriminately, let them live well.
After a while, the fat man and I came to the camp with two fat pheasants, and when Ma San and the others saw that we were carrying pheasants in our hands, they were naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly boasted about me and the fat man.
After saying that, the clear soup and noodles were also cooked, and each of them shared a small bowl to eat first, and Ma San let us rest after eating, and he took the two dogs and the lynx to catch the two pheasants and went to the river to pluck and clean, and picked up some wooden sticks in a fallen pine tree.
Ma San picked up the cleaned pheasant, put some spices into the pot and stirred, poured a small glass of cooking wine, found a few lotus leaves to wrap them, and finally wrapped them in mud.
At this time, the lynx and the second dog also set up the barbecue grill, and it seems that it should be a "flower chicken".
Taking advantage of the fact that the "called flower chicken" was not cooked for a while, Ma San introduced us to the origin of the flower chicken: "called flower chicken" was originally from Changshu, Jiangsu, and was stolen by some poor refugees (or called for food).
There is a folk legend, when the Qianlong Emperor visited the micro-service, accidentally wandered into the wilderness, there was a man called Huazi to see him pitiful, so he thought that the delicacy of the "called flower chicken" to him to eat, Qianlong was sleepy and hungry, after eating naturally felt that the chicken was very delicious, after eating asked what the name of the dish was, the name of the flower child felt embarrassed, the "called flower chicken" was blown into "rich chicken", Qianlong listened to the dish full of praise.
Called Huazi only later learned that this homeless man was the current emperor, but this "called Huaji" also became a "rich chicken" because of the emperor's golden mouth, and it has become a famous dish that can be on the elegant hall.
After Ma San's introduction, the "called flower chicken" was also cooked, the original roast chicken wafted to a burst of fragrance, several people were already hungry, gobbled up and ate, wiped their mouths after eating, at this time it was already dark and I couldn't see my fingers, I and the fat man and Chen Haoyue were about to enter the tent to rest, but Ma San stopped him.
When I saw what I was trying to do, could it be that we wouldn't be allowed to rest?
"A few of you, except for Brother Wang and this girl, the rest of the people will take turns to keep vigil in case they are attacked by wild beasts." Ma San pointed a gun at the three of us and said.
"Fuck, why? Lao Tzu walked such a long mountain road. The fat man said angrily.
"I said it! How's that, no? Brother Wang came over to us and said.
"Okay, okay, then you and Chen Haoyue go to rest first, and the rest of us take turns to keep vigil." I said respectfully to Brother Wang.
"Cut, look at your cowardice!" The fat man said angrily to me.
After discussing, we decided that Ma San and a few people would keep the first half of the night, and I would keep the second half of the night with the fat man.
After taking a nap, it was already the second half of the night, and it was my turn to keep vigil with the fat man. Ma San woke me up and the fat man, and he lay down to sleep, the fat man stretched his waist and endured sleepiness, and dozed off with his eyes closed, but in the end he was woken up by Ma San with a gun.
"There's not much firewood left in the campfire, you two go find some to renew it, or I'll feed you to the wolves later!" Ma San glared angrily at me and the fat man, and commanded with a gun in his hand.
"Why? You..."Before the fat man finished speaking, Ma San pointed a gun at the fat man's head again, after all, they had a gun in their hands, and the fat man could only endure it.
"Okay, fat man, bear with the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, besides, there will inevitably be wild beasts in this barren mountain and wild mountains, and the bonfire cannot be extinguished under any circumstances," I hurriedly persuaded the two of them, and whispered to the fat man.
The fat man put away his anger, I looked at the ground, all the wood nearby was picked up and burned by Ma San, I didn't find a single log after looking for a long time, and the wood on the tree was too high, no wonder Ma San would let us go to find wood to burn, and secretly cursed in my heart that it was really a group of despicable and shameless villains!
I had no choice but to pull the fat man to look for it not far away, but after all, I didn't have any strength after walking on the mountain road for a day, and it was surprisingly quiet around the forest not far away, even if it was the sound of a rooster crowing a few kilometers away, I could hear it clearly.
"This forest is deserted and uninhabited, and it is almost catching up with half of the primeval forest, will there be jackals, tigers and leopards at night?" I asked.
The fat man frowned and said: "Generally, like this barren mountain, no one will dare to go up the mountain at night, let alone stay overnight, there are jackals, tigers and leopards, but it is impossible to be so unlucky to be encountered by us as soon as we go up the mountain." ”
"If only I could meet it, hey." I said with a sigh.
"What do you say? Did I hear me right, did you get water in your head or were you poisoned by eating pheasants? I really want to feed the wolves! The fat man asked me with wide eyes.
"That's not it, if there are wolves, we can take advantage of the chaos to escape, so they can't care about us, and can only deal with the beasts." I said with a sigh.
Looking at this dense jungle, I really hope that a few beasts will come out and bite these drug dealers, although I have been respectful to Brother Wang for the past few days, there is no way, now Brother Wang has used Chen Haoyue as a means to blackmail us, so I have to lower my head and talk and do things.
"That's a solution, and you really have your little talent." The fat man grinned.
I walked with the fat man for a while, and when I came to a fallen dead tree, the fat man began to pick up the dead branches with his hands, and I handed the fat man a cigarette and said, "What's the hurry, it's never too late to smoke a cigarette!" ”
The fat man smiled, and said, "That's right, I didn't think of it." With that, he took the cigarette in my hand and lit it and smoked it.
I had just smoked two puffs of cigarette when suddenly, several hares sprang out of the bushes, one of which had even stepped over my lap.
In an instant, I was so frightened that the cigarette in my hand fell, I quickly looked around vigilantly, and the fat man also picked up the steel pipe and guarded, only to see some green faint light coming out of the dark bushes at some point.
"Don't waste cigarettes, aren't they just a few fireflies, scaring these rabbits out faster than their mother." The fat man picked up the cigarette on the ground and handed it to me.
"No, I've seen fireflies, and the fireflies emit yellow light, and these green lights are most likely the eyes of some kind of animal." I said warily as I looked around.
"Damn, you're really right by you stinky boy, you see that these green lights are all one-to-one, maybe you really met the wolves... What should I do now?" the fat man said nervously.
When I was hesitating at the door, with a loud wolf howl, these green and faint lights became clearer and clearer, and I and the fat man struggled to see that the two round and bright green lights were none other than the eyes of jackals!
When the jackal was only about ten meters away from us, the outline of the wolf pack could be faintly seen, and the fat man and I were scared into a cold sweat, and our legs began to tremble.
"Dog's day, I was fucking you right again, the wolves are really here, what should I do next?" The fat man turned his back to me and said, and at this time I could vaguely feel the fat man's legs trembling.
"I can't beat it, or else... I said 3 2 1 Let's run back together. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said to the fat man.
