Chapter 76: The Fisherman's Profit
Shooting an arrow, Liu Qing quickly retreated two steps back to hide, a leaf of the giant leaf grass was wider and longer than Liu Qing's person, and the hanging piece covered Liu Qing without any problem at all. Liu Qing behind the blade turned his head to observe the little Tyrannosaurus rex, the arrow was inserted in its back, but the little Tyrannosaurus rex was not moved at all, Liu Qing was surprised, there was no reaction at all when an arrow was inserted in his back?
In fact, when Liu Qing retreated and hidden, the little Tyrannosaurus Rex had already glanced back, but there was nothing, and he continued to concentrate on eating his own meal. Liu Qing was a little depressed, this guy is not an ordinary guy with rough skin and thick meat! Obviously, the arrows have already been shot at it, and it is stuck in its back, how can it still be like a dragon who has nothing to do, as if the arrow inserted in it is not on it.
Since there was no response, Liu Qing simply fired again, but this time he didn't move forward, just moved one step to the right and opened his bow and arrow. Close his left eye, take a deep breath, stare at aiming, his fingers inadvertently relaxed, the string returned to the arrow, and Liu Qing also took a right step back into the shelter at the same time.
"Whoosh!" the arrow flew quickly, and the little Tyrannosaurus rex was burying its head in tears, just tearing off a piece of thick skin, and was about to bite the fat flesh under the skin, but a grass stalk came to its face and stuck it directly into its nostrils. I don't know whether to say that it is on its back or that Liu Qing is lucky, his arrow originally only wanted to shoot the soft part of the little Tyrannosaurus rex's neck, but who knew that it just raised its head and lowered its head, and this arrow was inserted into its nostrils impartially.
No matter what kind of animal, even if an elephant can use its nose to roll up something weighing hundreds of pounds, its nostrils are still a weakness, the skin on the outside is thick, but the skin on the inside is thin and tender, this arrow is just right, and suddenly a stream of blood came out of the nose of this little Tyrannosaurus rex. The red blood was mixed with the blood of the corpse on the ground, and it was impossible to tell which one was which.
"Ang!" The little Tyrannosaurus rex was in pain, raised its head and screamed, as if it had been greatly wronged, and the position of this arrow was peculiar, so that it couldn't even pull it out, and the two small front paws fluttered and scratched a few times, but when it touched the tail of the arrow, it only felt more pain in the nostrils, and suddenly didn't even dare to touch it. The huge body is swirling left and right, just like ants on a hot pot, but unfortunately there are no such huge ants, and even if there is, it is not such a big pot.
The little Tyrannosaurus rex seemed to be quite smart, and after two circles, it suddenly saw an arrow stuck in its back, and immediately stood still, as if Holmes had found a clue and was pondering.
Here Liu Qing tilted his head, observing the effect of his arrow, seeing such a scene, he only felt nervous, exciting and funny, Xiao Wu's body on the side was tense, half lying on the ground and paying attention to the behemoth in front of him, as if he was about to pounce at any time. Xiao Wu's body size is big enough for Liu Qing, but against the little Tyrannosaurus Rex, it feels much smaller, just like the feeling of the Little Tyrannosaurus Rex to Xilong, but the body of the Little Tyrannosaurus Rex is more compact, while the Xilong only occupies a longer neck and a wider body; If these two are really right, needless to say, they all know that Xiao Wu will definitely not be able to get others.
Fortunately, Liu Qing only shot these two arrows and didn't do it, and this little Tyrannosaurus rex should have been frightened, but he really didn't expect a grass stalk to do such a thing. It thought about it carefully, and couldn't remember where it had ever touched such a thing, but now that it had a stick in its nose, it couldn't eat it anymore, it was already very painful, and as long as it lowered its head and bit it, it would hurt to death if it touched it a little.
I don't know what this little Tyrannosaurus rex thinks, so he suddenly opened his legs and ran upstream along the riverbank. Liu Qing waited for a while, but didn't see any movement, quietly got out of the grass, and looked in the direction where the little Tyrannosaurus rex was running, but there was nothing.
"Hehe!" Liu Qingle blossomed, he originally just wanted to try, quietly shoot a black gun, to see if he could scare this little Tyrannosaurus rex away, who knew that people had rough skin and thick meat, and ignored his first arrow, the second arrow originally wanted to shoot the soft part of the neck, but it hit the nostrils by mistake, and what surprised him even more was that this little Tyrannosaurus rex actually ran away like this.
Such a big stream dragon! How much meat must be able to get out! Even if the loss is ignored, it is estimated that it will be enough for the two of them to eat for ten days and a half without any problem! Liu Qing doesn't know if the little Tyrannosaurus rex will come back, anyway, move as fast as possible, and make as much as possible.
Sharp daggers flew over the corpse, stabbing and slicing, and square pieces of flesh were piled down by him and piled on a large blade of grass on the side. Liu Qing is also a person who has slaughtered dinosaurs, although the size of the velociraptor is very different from that of the Xilong, but they are all dinosaurs, which part has more meat and less meat is basically not much different, in fact, even if it has not been slaughtered, it can be seen by visual inspection alone.
Liu Qing is looking for those meaty positions to cut at this time, maybe because the Xilong has lived in the water for many years, its skin is not as rough as that of the velociraptor or stegosaurus, but more delicate, and it feels very tough to cut, if this leather can be made into leather shoes, it should be very good! Thinking of this, he easily cut two large pieces of soft skin on his stomach and threw them on the blades of grass.
For more than half an hour, Liu Qing cut more than a dozen pieces of meat, the smallest one weighed five or six catties, and the entire blade of grass was piled up in a big pile, and he had to make four leaves to pad underneath, otherwise he really couldn't take it away. Because he was afraid that the little Tyrannosaurus Rex would come back, he also knew that insatiable greed would harm people, so he looked at the results of the battle, and felt that it was almost there, and he immediately flashed.
Hundreds of pounds of meat, four layers of grass blades, it is very difficult to drag and walk, although the tall grass is dense, the gap inside is still large enough, otherwise it is denser, even if it is not able to survive any plant, fortunately, Liu Qing can drag the meat pile in the grass. There was also some low grass growing on the ground, which happened to reduce the friction and keep him from dragging it.
Just dragged out of the tall grass and into the edge of the jungle, Liu Qing was also tired, but Xiao Wu was very cunning, seeing that Liu Qing had thrown away the meat and sat there to rest, it silently picked up a piece of meat, lay down next to Liu Qing leisurely, and ate it deliciously. Saying that Xiao Wu is really blessed, how can ordinary saber-toothed tigers eat dinosaur meat, at most they can bully small dinosaurs, for this kind of large dinosaurs, even if they are herbivores, they can only take a detour when they encounter them, let alone eat their meat.
The meat was stolen back, but then there is a problem, how to roast the meat into jerky? The weather here is not suitable for storing fresh meat at all, Liu Qing tried it when he was in the cave, and hung the fresh meat directly, and the result was that the smell came out in less than three days, but as long as it was roasted into jerky, it was no problem to keep it for a month. But how can he have such conditions now, let alone barbecue jerky, and there is not even a place to make a fire.
After thinking about it, Liu Qing looked up at the platform built with the help of the branches of the giant tree on his head, and suddenly had a whim, and made a fire on the platform, anyway, there are many places on the giant tree, just roast the meat and then find a place to hang it.
There was enough space for the branches of the giant tree, Liu Qing found some stones with regular shapes on the ground, then wrapped them with large blades of grass, tied them with rattan ropes, climbed to the platform first, and then pulled all the stones up, turned around on it, looked at it, selected a position away from the main trunk and the platform, and surrounded it with stones in a semi-circular shape, leaving only one opening.
The reason for this is that it is not convenient to make a fire on it, and if there is no stove around it, it will be difficult for the fire to burn just by the wind blowing from all sides. In order to prevent the branch from being roasted to death if it caught fire for a long time, he also specially got some gravel sand and spread it under the stove.
Then he found some dry wood, and made a fire on the ground and a fire on the tree, and the two fires were roasted at the same time. The pieces of meat were a bit thick, and he had to divide each piece into several pieces, and after a batch was cooked, he took a piece and ate it. From yesterday to now, almost every meal has been improvised, and this meal is the most down-to-earth one. Not only that, but his risky two arrows today made him no longer have to worry about food for the next half a month, and it was really worth it to think about it.
He suddenly thought, Xiao Wu can grow so strong, is it related to what he brings, because he has seen the animal world before, and knows that many carnivores are hungry and full, and they may not eat for three or five days, but Xiao Wu is like a person, he eats a meal by himself, and he also eats a meal, and eats more than an adult like him.
Although it rained overnight yesterday, it was generally not rainy, and it had stopped this morning, it was already noon, the sun was shining, and the evaporating water vapor made the whole space a little wet and hot. After eating, Liu Qing changed another batch of meat pieces and roasted them, and added some firewood to the fire, and when he was bored, he was thinking about how to cross to the other side of the river.
Of course, the safest way is to build a ship, and the so-called ship is just a raft. When he was in the tall grass before, he noticed that there were quite a lot of hollow tall grass here, which should be used as material for river rafts. Standing on the platform, looking from afar, but saw two dinosaurs eating the corpse of the creek dragon, it had been a few hours, Liu Qing was also a little afraid, thanks to his early withdrawal, if he coveted the corpse, it has been dragged on until now, I am afraid that it will be with the two little Tyrannosaurus rex.
There were dinosaurs, Liu Qing didn't dare to go down and run around, stayed on the platform of the tree trunk, and waited for an hour, the two little Tyrannosaurus rex should have been full, and walked away slowly, still walking upstream along the river bank.
After they couldn't see their figures, Liu Qing climbed down the giant tree along the vines and walked towards the tall grass.
(Little Tyrannosaurus rex, in fact, is not a Tyrannosaurus rex, recently read dinosaur science books, there is a dinosaur called "Yongchuan Dragon" similar to the appearance of Tyrannosaurus rex, but the size is much smaller, and it is also a carnivorous dinosaur, so I wrote this thing, but the protagonist will definitely not read dinosaur science books, naturally I won't know what the name of this dinosaur is.) )
