Chapter 306: Tasting
readx;
Xu Fenghu is not like Li You, who has infinite recovery ability, and physical exertion is still a big problem for him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEspecially when he is still injured, such a long distance is still a huge burden for him. And some of the injuries are also more ruthless, such as his lower body was attacked by a piranha, although it was not a big problem, but the friction of walking was enough to make him want to cut it off painfully.
After walking for a while, he found that Xu Fenghu was limping, Li You couldn't help but ask about Xu Fenghu's injury, at first Xu Fenghu still twisted and refused to say, but under Li You's repeated inquiries, he finally said the hidden wound in the dark, which made Li You cry and laugh. But Xu Fenghu's injuries are not suitable to continue on the road. Li You immediately made a decision, chose a relatively safe place, and rested for a while.
At this time, Li You still didn't have a clear idea of the speed of time in this place, so he naturally didn't know how long to rest before he should go on the road. According to the time outside, Xu Fenghu's injury will have to rest for at least a week or so. But considering that this is an underground world, Xu Fenghu's recovery ability is also lower than that of ordinary people, and Xu Fenghu's recovery time will actually be shorter. In a day or two, you can recover about the same, at least you can walk without any obstacles.
After discussing with Xu Fenghu for a while, Li You finally decided to choose to rest near the lake. The lake is just below the hills, and the water and grass are abundant, and there should be plenty of food to satisfy the hunger, if nothing else, but there are certainly piranhas. Li You has a psychological barrier to eating this kind of thing, but Xu Fenghu doesn't.
Li You never forgot the bear's paw. But after the bears dispersed, not a single black bear was out of sight. From time to time, bursts of beast roars would be heard from the dense forest on the other side of the hills, but this sound was not easy to provoke, and Li You didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly snuffed it out after the idea of hunting in the forest arose.
Li You's wilderness survival skills have been perfected. Since he was abducted, counting the time he traveled, he has been living in the wild world for more than a year, but this more than a year belongs to different eras, and he is a little embarrassed to think about it.
After choosing a leeward place, Li You let Xu Fenghu lie down in the grass to rest, and he went to the lake to look for something to catch and eat. There are a lot of snails in the shallows along the lake, and they don't look small, some of them are bigger than the big African snails.
However, these snails have a strange appearance, and the color of the shell is also very colorful, basically blue and purple. After smashing a snail, he found that blue juice was secreted from the snail, and Li You wisely removed these things from the recipe. Normally, creatures with blue blood have more copper in their bodies, such as horseshoe crabs in the sea, that's it, people often eat horseshoe crabs and kill people, such reports Li You has occasionally read in the newspaper.
However, if the creatures that can survive here, if they are poisonous, the toxicity will naturally not be too small, so be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Walking along the shore of the lake, Li You did not find any fish or anything else edible in the shallows. After thinking about it, he built a sand dam in the bay, leaving a few inlets, and crumpled some reed leaves in it. This is one of the fishing methods that Tian Chun taught him. If there is a fish swimming in, it will be fairly easy to catch.
After doing all this, Li You went to a bush of reeds by the lake, picked some fresh reed cores and broke them, and brought them back. Reed cores do not satisfy hunger, but they can replenish the right amount of carbohydrates.
Seeing Li You coming back with a bundle of reed poles, Xu Fenghu was very puzzled. This kind of play is very common next to Surabaya in Xu Kingdom, but no one has ever used it as food, it is used to weave roofs and build walls or something.
Li You came back as he walked, nibbling back like a sugarcane, making Xu Fenghu feel that the reed rod seemed to be quite delicious.
But Li You gave him an explanation of what carbohydrates to add, but it was difficult for him to understand what it was, Li You didn't bother to explain, after thinking about it, Li You is it, absorbing water from the reed pole is much safer than drinking lake water.
In this way, Xu Fenghu can accept it. But he still doesn't understand germs. In the end, Li You could only say that he was worried that the lake water was poisonous and prevaricated. The water should be boiled and drunk such an esoteric thing, and it is useless to talk to Xu Fenghu.
Xu Fenghu has lived in the underground world for thousands of years, and the Xiongshou tribe doesn't even let people see the fire, let alone the extravagant thing of making a fire to cook water and hot food. It is completely impossible for a person who survives by eating raw meat of moss mushrooms to mention to him that there are bacteria and parasites in the water. These people in the underground world are basically open existences, and Li You can't expect them to be able to accept his own thinking life and that of all normal people.
A bundle of reed poles was quickly gnawed by two people, and there was slag everywhere. However, the scum was basically spit out by Li You. The juice of the tender part of the reed stem actually has a sweet taste, which is already delicious for Xu Fenghu compared to moss and underground mushrooms. Li You wanted to stop Xu Fenghu from doing this, but considering that plant fibers are not harmful to the human body, he let him be.
After gnawing on the reed pole, Li You set off again, built a few sand bars by the lake, and then patrolled back to the first sand bar and found live fish with three tails and palms. One of them is still a very familiar piranha. Li You was not polite, he immediately grabbed them all, then strung them with reed leaves and carried them back.
When I went back, I caught two more fish from the sand bar. It was the first time for Li You to use this method to catch fish, and he didn't expect it to have such an effect, so he was very happy. Seeing that this lake was very vast, Li You knew that he probably didn't have to starve all the way down.
Li You went to catch fish, and Xu Fenghu was not idle, but slowly moved his steps, collected a lot of firewood, and slowly built a fire. People who have eaten cooked food will no longer want to eat raw food. When Li You returned, he had already lit the bonfire, just waiting for Li You to bring back the food.
Li You grilled five fish in one go and handed them to Xu Fenghu. He had eaten earlier. Besides, Li You is not very confident in the things in the lake. Let's let Xu Fenghu try to be poisonous or not. Xu Fenghu didn't know that Li You had such a mind. tried all kinds of excuses, but was pushed back by Li You on the grounds of "I have eaten roast chicken before and am not hungry". Moved, Xu Fenghu was teary-eyed and very moved to try Li You for a poison, and after a while, he gnawed the five fish even the bones clean.
Seeing that Xu Fenghu was still alive after eating five fish, Li You was relieved, and finally determined in his heart that the fish in the lake could be eaten if he caught at least three types of fish with five fish.
