Chapter Seventy-Nine: Grilled Fish and Pounded Medicine (3)
Youlan took off the strip of cloth in her left hand, and the crimson blood had dried up around the wound, the marks caused by that grip were not too deep, but because the wound was very long, it looked really scary.
Youlan pinched the forsythia with her right hand, first wiped off the blood clot around the wound, and then dipped some medicinal juice on the wound.
"Sss
Youlan couldn't help but let out a painful groan, and the medicinal juice flowed directly into the flesh, and the pain was no less than another knife.
Luo Yan looked at Youlan with a painful expression on the side, and she really had nothing to do, so she could only gently pat Youlan's back with her left hand like a little adult to show comfort.
Youlan naturally didn't give up the medicine because of this pain, gritted her teeth, her heart was ruthless, and she rubbed all the medicinal juice on the wound.
Then the remaining strips of cloth of the falling geese were closed and continued to be bandaged on the left hand, and the rest could only be left to time.
At this time, the sun is almost overhead, look at the position, it is almost noon. The two of them hadn't eaten since they came out of Qu Jingcheng, and they did feel a little hungry after tossing for so long.
The wild goose is particularly sensitive to hunger, and at this time the stomach even growls uncontrollably.
The place was already quiet, and there was no sound except for the sound of running water, so the rumbling of the stomach could not be concealed.
"Lan ...... Sister Lan, I'll go see if there are any fish. ”
Luo Yan turned around and ran away as he spoke, sticking out his tongue and complaining to himself, hey, it's really embarrassing, why is he screaming so loudly?
"Yikes! Sister Lan! Come on, come on! ”
When the wild goose ran to the rattan basket to take a closer look, sure enough, there were already four fish in the rattan basket, which was really a good harvest.
When Youlan heard Luo Yan's excited voice, she stood up, beckoned to Luo Yan and said, "Yan Er, go find wood, don't touch the water with your hands again." ”
Luo Yan nodded obediently, and then asked how much wood he wanted, Youlan thought about it, and only said that he wanted two branches that were longer and as thick as thumbs, and some branches suitable for burning.
When Luo Yan ran to pick up the gap in the wood, Youlan took the rattan basket out of the water with her right hand, the biting cold made her shiver unconsciously, remembering that Luo Yan's hands had been soaked in the water for so long, and her heart was even more moved.
The four fish in the rattan basket look relatively fat, and in this place where there is no village and no store, it is the limit that they can grow on their own.
Youlan naturally doesn't pick fat and thin, just wait for the wild goose to come back, and then start to live and grill fish.
It's just that this fire is a troublesome thing after all, and now both of them are already injured in their hands, and I'm afraid it will be a while longer.
"Huh?"
Youlan lifted the rattan basket while observing the surroundings, and suddenly, something not far from the river bank caught her attention, and she couldn't help but wonder, but there seemed to be another joy in the voice.
When Youlan approached, she finally saw the thing clearly, flint! Youlan only feels like she is being favored by the gods at the moment, God knows, how many things can be saved with this flint!
Youlan carefully picked up the flint, but fortunately, it was dry. Then he rummaged around for a long time, and then a second, slightly smaller flint was found from under a pile of stones.
Okay, with these two stones, at least it won't be difficult to start a fire. Come to think of it, God really likes to joke, why didn't you give this thing yesterday, and let Yan'er hurt her hand in vain.
Luo Yan didn't know that she and Youlan had good luck, and she was burying her head in picking up branches at this time. In order to eat, the wild goose can bear no matter how hard and tired it is.
So at this moment, she didn't care about her hungry stomach, she just wanted to pick up the fish to eat quickly.
Just as the wild goose was working hard, the corner of his eye unconsciously caught a glimpse of a small thing, because the woods covered some light, so the wild goose did not see clearly.
"Huh? Will it move? ”
Sure enough, the little thing seemed to feel that the falling geese were looking at it, and it moved obviously.
I saw that it was originally a lump of creatures, but at this moment it finally showed its face, and it turned out to be a squirrel holding nuts.
Because the squirrel was in the shadows, the wild goose couldn't see the color of its coat clearly, only a pair of big black eyes were also staring at the wild goose at this time, with a fluffy tail, standing behind him like an antenna, and sniffing his nose, estimating that he was making sure that the little man in front of him was a dangerous creature.
Maybe the wild goose didn't see the delicious food in the squirrel's arms, so she didn't do anything crazy because she was hungry, if she wasn't hungry at the moment, maybe she would go up and touch it, but this will be her own stomach is the first, so she only used her mouth to "hiss" twice to tease, and then hugged the branch and walked back.
When Luo Yan returned to Youlan, what he saw was Youlan's excited smiling face.
"Yan'er, what did I find?"
Luo Yan looked at the flint in Youlan's hand and was a little puzzled, what kind of novelty is this?
Youlan looked at the confusion on Luo Yan's face and knew without thinking about it, Luo Yan must not know what a flint was, so she didn't let Luo Yan guess, and kindly explained to Luo Yan.
Sure enough, Luo Yan was happy after hearing that, and finally didn't have to torture her hands anymore, God knows that last night's meal of drilling wood for fire almost made her go like that.
"That'...... What about the branches? ”
Luo Yan asked suspiciously, Youlan didn't plan to explain the method to Luo Yan, this will wipe her hands with medicine, and she feels much better, so she can do these things.
I saw that Youlan piled up the branches into a cone, spread some leaves and grass clippings on them, held the two flints well, and began to fire against the pile of branches.
As the sound of flint clashing echoed through the woods, it wasn't long before the two of them could smell the burning leaves.
"It's done!"
Luo Yan only thought that the two pieces of flint were too amazing, and thought that if the fire was burning, the fish could also start to roast, and his face was a joy that could not be hidden.
When Youlan saw that the fire had been lit, she put two pieces of flint in a bag in the inner seam of her cloak, but she didn't dare to put the two pieces together, because if there was a case, I was afraid that it would make matters worse.
After thinking about it, the next thing to do was to skewer the fish on the branches, Youlan was a little worried that the wild goose would not be able to stand it, so she asked tentatively: "I will string the fish in a while, ...... you goose"
Luo Yan naturally knew what Youlan meant by what she didn't finish, she shook her head indifferently, and then said: "It's okay Sister Lan, it's just to live, if Yan'er can't stand this picture, then what's the accounting?" ”
It's just that Youlan still wants Luo Yan to avoid it a little, but seeing that Luo Yan is so insistent, she won't say more, after all, as Luo Yan said, these are just to survive.
