Chapter 300: Chicken Flavor, Crunchy
Seeing the bundle of leather full of fluff, Liu Xin quickly opened a large bundle, pulled out the dagger next to him, cut it small, and tore the thin clothes on Anne's body, and quickly wrapped the fluffy side around Anne's somewhat cold body.
"Annie, wake up, don't sleep, wake up!" Liu Xin's severely frostbitten palm kept rubbing on the leather, and the heat generated by the friction was transmitted along the leather to Anne's body, and her mouth kept calling.
"Brother, brother." Maybe it was because he felt the faint warmth, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Liu Xin, who was shirtless and had a large area of frostbite all over his body, and shouted with difficulty.
"Come, drink a little, drink a little will be warm." Liu Xin saw Anne wake up, trembling his hands, and handed over a bag of spirits that he had found, and a stream of spicy liquor flowed down Anne's mouth.
"Spicy" Anne frowned and smiled, looking at Liu Xin who was about to cry.
"Anne, bear with me, just take another sip." Liu Xin comforted her on the side, and poured the wine bag in his hand into Anne's mouth again.
"Spicy, spicy." Anne, who had two sips of strong wine, her face instantly turned red, just like that sunset, which was very cute.
"Okay Annie, you stay here for a while, brother go find something." Liu Xin also breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Anne's ruddy face, and began to make clothes for himself to keep out the cold.
Although this is a caravan transporting leather, there are still some necessary things, there are a lot of weapons and ropes, even the spirits are enough to have three big bags, the only regret is that there is no food.
Although the style is not too good-looking, Liu Xin can be regarded as knowing exoskeleton technology, and the mechanical armor can be made, not to mention this simple leather. After a while, two sets of thick leather clothes, including shoes, hats, gloves, etc., appeared on the side, and Liu Xin and Anne finally had enough warm clothes.
"Brother, brother, hungry~" Anne, who had changed into new clothes, was obviously very happy, and even her head, which was a little dizzy because of the cold, was much better, and looked at Liu Xin at this time and stammered.
"Hey, Anne hold on a little longer, brother and see if he can find something to eat." Listening to Annie's words, Liu Xin couldn't continue to rest, picked up the small iron pickaxe he found before, and began to rummage through the camp that was half buried by snow.
"Hey, they probably have been buried for a long time." At this time, Liu Xin dug up the corpse of a dwarf, the corpse had already been frozen and stiffened, like ice, Liu Xin could only let out a long sigh and continued his search work.
Although some dry food was also found, it had already been soaked in snow and frozen, and it had become something harder than a stone, and it was inedible.
"This is a goat?" Looking at the newly appeared corpse, Liu Xin frowned and began to rummage above the smelly goat.
As the fur on the goat's body was lifted, accompanied by a strong rancid smell, revealing the rotting flesh and internal organs inside, countless maggots were constantly burrowing in it.
"Maggots?" Liu Xin looked at the maggots that were constantly wriggling, and then at Anne who was staring at him with big eyes in the distance. Liu Xin gritted his teeth, picked up a small metal jar from the side, gouged out the maggots from the carrion, pinched the maggot's head, and stuffed it into his mouth.
With the closure of the teeth, the soft body of the maggot was bitten off, and a large amount of mucus sprayed out in Liu Xin's mouth, accompanied by a faint rancid smell, although the taste was not good, but it was not so unacceptable, as for the maggot's head, it was thrown by Liu Xin. Before the apocalypse, Liu Xin had seen Bei Ye's wilderness survival, Bei Ye was known as a man standing at the top of the food chain before the end, he dared to eat anything, not even maggots, once Bei Ye said that the maggot's head tasted very bad, so Liu Xin did not try, but threw the head directly.
"Yes, the chicken tastes, crunchy!" After taking the first step, I feel that eating this maggot is not so unacceptable. If there is no food, even if they get warm clothes, Liu Xin and Anne are estimated to not be able to survive this cold night that is about to fall, in order to survive, what is there to eat maggots?
Liu Xin began to quickly dig out maggots from the carcass of the goat, and cut off its head with a knife. After a while, he hit most of the maggot corpses in the tank, and in order to prevent Anne from being unacceptable, Liu Xin deliberately crushed it with a dagger, becoming a viscous liquid in most of the tank.
"Come, Anne, it may not taste good, I'll go find some other seasoning for you." Liu Xin handed the half of the mucus into Anne's arms, and walked towards the nearest tree again.
Liu Xin gently cut the bark on the trunk with a dagger, revealing the inner layer of the inner skin, and took it back piece by piece with the dagger.
"Come on, you can taste it, it's very chewy, and it's a little sweet." Liu Xin tore the bark in his hand into strips and handed it to Anne.
At this time, Anne was drinking the mucus with a bitter face, and it was obvious that the rancid smell made Anne very disliked. But there was no choice but to grit his teeth and drink most of it. At this time, when he heard Liu Xin say that the bark tasted okay, he immediately let go of the remaining half of the slime, took the bark in Liu Xin's hand, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Liu Xin had felt it before, and the taste of this bark was indeed much better than that of maggots, but it was very chewy and some difficult to swallow. When you first put it in your mouth, you don't have any flavor, but after chewing it for a long time, your taste buds will feel a faint sweetness.
Liu Xin also lifted the remaining mucus of Anne and poured it into it in a big gulp, the rancid smell was really disliked, even Liu Xin frowned a little, and the bark that had been chewed for a long time could be regarded as expelling the rancid smell.
With the mucus in his stomach, Liu Xin stood up again and left with a small iron pickaxe. At this time, the sun had already set most of the time, and it was necessary to build a shelter as soon as possible to shelter Liu Xin and Anne from the cold at night.
Liu Xin chose a leeward hillside and began to dig. The speed of having tools in his hand is fast, and in just over ten minutes, Liu Xin dug a long pit more than one meter deep in the snow.
"I remember that I still need to dig horizontally, here is to store the cold, and where is the sleeping place." Liu Xin began to dig horizontally again.
As the pit was dug up, Liu Xin still poured a thick three-layer leather into it to finish, and slept in it warmly, just like in a furnace.
"Come, Anne, take another sip and go to bed, my brother will take you to the doctor tomorrow." Liu Xin handed the bag full of spirits to Anne's side again and said.
"Spicy~" When Anne saw the wine bag in Liu Xin's hand, her little face immediately wrinkled, obviously the taste of the liquor made Anne remember it deeply.
Perhaps because of the warmth brought by the leather, Liu Xin and Anne slept soundly all night, and Liu Xin woke up early the next morning. Although it was very warm last night, Anne's condition is getting worse, and Anne's forehead will still be hot tomorrow, and if it continues, Anne's head will be burned.
Liu Xin got out of the snow hole, started the search again, and prepared to make some tools, otherwise Liu Xin and Anne would be blocked again when they encountered relatively thick snow.
It took more than an hour for Liu Xin to finish searching the half-buried caravan and start collecting some useful things.
In the end, Liu Xin only chose a limited number of things, a small dagger, an iron pickaxe, the metal jar used yesterday to strengthen some maggots, two flints, a thread, many hooks and a piece of leather that could be folded three times, and everything else was abandoned by Liu Xin. The weapon is too big for Liu Xin to carry, and as for those armors, Liu Xin doesn't want to do it, with Liu Xin's small body, he can't take it away at all, as for the leather, just take a small amount and enough. The most important reason is that Liu Xin needs to carry Anne on his back, if there are too many things, he can't take them away at all, Anne has been weakened by a cold and fever, and she can't walk at all.
"Annie, wake up, it's time for us to go, brother will take you to the doctor, hold on." After Liu Xin finished speaking, he took Anne out of the snow and tied it to himself steadily.
Standing on the road near the caravan, Liu Xin felt it carefully. On both sides of the road, one side feels like a deadly threat, and the other side has nothing.
"Where to go? The threat here is too strong to be deadly, and this side doesn't feel anything, so what about that side? Liu Xin looked at the roads on the left and right, and made a choice in his heart.
In just an instant, Liu Xin made a decision, the threat on the side with a sense of threat was too strong, Liu Xin was not sure to deal with it at all, and as for the side without any feeling, it could be said that there was no threat at all. This is also a so-called official road, which is believed to always connect the city. On one side is the city of the dwarves, and on the other side is the burning plain where the orcs are, and it is believed that the other side where the threat is is the burning plain, and on the other side it is conceivably there
The cold wind formed a series of wind blades and slashed at Liu Xin's body, but unfortunately it was tightly protected by that layer of leather, and it couldn't bring any harm to Liu Xin at all. Since leaving the caravan in the morning, Liu Xin has been walking for ten hours.
"Gollum~" The long-term walking made Liu Xin's stomach protest dissatisfied, since he woke up, he just ate those maggot mucus and tree roots, plus the long-term walking, Liu Xin has already been hungry, and even his consciousness is a little blurred, and he can continue to move forward in this cold wind, completely supported by the belief that he wants to save Anne.
"Baa~" There was a unique bleating of goats in the whirring wind, but Liu Xin didn't seem to hear half of it, gritted his teeth and continued to walk towards the road step by step.
"Thackeray, did you say the orcs would attack Kazmodan?" A dwarf with a musket in his hand, sitting on the back of a goat, looked at his companion and asked.
"Who knows? However, we have heard that the Kingdom of Stormwind has fallen, and the orcs have entered the Burning Plains, and we must make our way to the Stone Dam Trail, where to stop the orc army and buy time for Ironforge Castle. As soon as the dwarf called Thackeray spoke, he saw a dark shadow appear on the official road in the distance, and he couldn't see what it was, but he was immediately alert.
"Alert!!" A rough roar spread through the dark shadows, and the dwarves standing on the strong side of the team drew their giant axes, and the entire dwarven army behind them drew their weapons at this moment, and in an instant, hammers, axes, and long swords were unsheathed, and all the dwarves stopped and looked at the black shadows that were slowly walking towards them.
"Wait, it's a human child, let's go, go up and have a look." The dwarf standing at the front saw Liu Xin's appearance clearly, and after roaring on the ground, he drove the sitting goat and walked quickly towards Liu Xin.
"Kid, why are you here? What about your family? The dwarf drove the goat and quickly came to Liu Xin's side, and a rough voice jumped out of his throat and asked Liu Xin.
It's a pity that Liu Xin didn't have any reaction at this time, in his xingzhong, the only belief was to take Annie to find the dwarf city, in the absence of a threat, Liu Xin's already vague consciousness couldn't wake up at all, just thinking about moving forward.
"Child" The dwarf wanted to say something more, but Liu Xin had already stepped forward step by step.
The dwarves behind the "captain" also arrived at this time, surrounded Liu Xin in the center, looked at the dwarf who arrived first and asked, but they didn't expect the dwarf to raise his arm and stop his subordinates from speaking next.
"Hold him!" The dwarf frowned and thought for a while, and immediately frowned and said to his subordinates, when the voice fell, the two dwarves jumped down quickly and grabbed Liu Xin, but Liu Xin didn't care about it and wanted to continue walking forward.
"Hey, he only has a belief to support him, knock him out!" The captain also jumped off the back of the goat, strode in front of Liu Xin, looked at Liu Xin's godless face, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice. (To be continued.) )
