Chapter 8: Dinner in the Mountains

Lighting the fire with the key made me feel extremely curious, how much wisdom about survival in the wild is hidden in the brains of Dujiao and his assistants? It's really unfathomable.

I looked down to see how he operated it, and realized that the key was different, the handle was made of plastic, and the key body was not toothed, but a black cylinder, about the length of an index finger. A black rope was pierced through the hole of the key handle, and a small piece of iron was tied to the other end of the black rope, which was about an inch long and slightly wider than a saw blade.

The one-horned assistant pointed the black key diagonally downward, aimed at the sawdust, and then scraped the small piece of iron on the key stick, and actually scraped out a row of sparks, which splashed into the sawdust. He threw the key aside, picked up the sawdust on the ground, put it in his hand and blew it gently with his mouth, and after a few blows, the sawdust burned, and then put it under the small pile of firewood, and flashed the wind with the palm of his hand, and the bonfire was lit by the way, and the more it burned, the more it burned.

I coincidentally went with the fat brother to grab the key that he was still on the ground, and I couldn't put it down when I looked closely.

The fat brother smiled and said, "This thing is easy to use, there is no danger, and it won't break, do you know what it is?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Well, it's really a good thing, using this to light a fire in the wild, it's amazing, I don't know what it's made of, how can you hit a spark all at once?" Haven't heard of it before. ”

The one-horned assistant smiled disdainfully, and although he couldn't understand us, he could clearly see that we were curious about it, a kind of sarcasm that the countryman had never seen in the market, and it came out of his eyes.

I don't know what it is, but we can't make foreigners laugh at us for not seeing it. Looking at the structure of this thing, it's not a complicated thing, and if you ask in an outdoor store in the future, you will definitely be able to ask.

I loved it, but I threw it back to Unicorn's assistant.

He took it back in his trouser pocket, and went back to continue perfecting the little natural tent with the unicorn.

The fat brother and I built stones around the fire, ready to roast fish for Jiang Li later.

There was a sudden commotion from the girls by the river, and the fat brother and I hurried over to see what was happening, and the unicorn and his assistant also heard the sound and walked towards the river.

When I ran over to take a look, I realized that Uncle Galu was swaying from side to side by his fishing line, following the direction of the fishing line, running around on the shore. This is fishing, obviously there is something in the water, fishing for Uncle Galu.

I was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" What's in the water? ”

Yan Qiu fanned his hands, stomped his feet and said, "Fish, big fish, hurry up and help, what are you looking at?" ”

Hearing Yan Qiu say this, I was also anxious, but I didn't know what I should do at all, so I ran over with the fat brother to help Uncle Galu control the fishing line, and the three of them squeezed together and swayed left and right. The shaking is not because our strength is not strong enough, but because we are afraid that we will confront the fish hard, and we will break the fishing line and guide the fish to escape from the hook.

Monhorn and his assistant simply rushed into the river, which was so deep that it barely reached their nostrils. When he got to the place where the big fish was, the unicorn pounced forward, and pressed the big fish with his body, and the fish was very dishonest, and the body of the unicorn kept shaking in the water, and he was almost about to get out.

The assistant of the unicorn held a crossbow arrow, and stabbed it vigorously under the unicorn, seeing that there was no effect, he pulled out the crossbow arrow and stabbed it twice in a row, and then the splash on the water surface gradually became smaller, and along the bubbles in the water, turned up the bright red blood, and went down the stream.

The three of us on the shore were visibly relieved, and the tremendous force that had dragged the fishing line before disappeared with them.

The next thing I saw was Dujiao and his assistant, struggling to walk from the river to the shore against the rapids. When we got ashore, we saw that it was a super-large fish, which was better than the fish we had seen in the underground of Mount Tai before, the body of the fish was not an obvious fusiform shape, but about the width of the front and back, and the body of the fish was covered with large and small black spots, the largest was the size of a child's fist, and the tail was dark red. The total length is one meter and five cents, and it weighs dozens of pounds.

Onehorn and his assistant, one by one, were walking ashore with the gills on either side of the fish.

Surina asked Uncle Garu, "What kind of fish is this?" How can you grow so big? It can't be a precious animal, right? ”

Jiang Li looked at it and said, "This should be a salmon with a high yield, but it's the first time I've seen it grow so big." ”

Uncle Galu said proudly, "This is a salmon, and I've fished bigger than this." ”

The assistant of the unicorn cut open the belly of the fish directly by the river, poured the internal organs aside, and then used a knife to slice directly on the body of the fish, slice off the thin layer of fish meat with the scales, and after washing it in the river, with the help of me and the fat brother, carried the big fish to a big stone next to the camp.

The one-horned assistant also found the swim bladder from the fish's internal organs, the swim bladder could almost be stuffed into an arm, and the one-horned assistant soaked the swim bladder in the water, and threw it to me, and then pointed at Yanqiu, smiling very happily.

I walked back with the swim bladder, and I didn't know what he meant, so I asked Yanqiu, "What does he mean by giving me this?" ”

Yan Qiu's face immediately turned red, and she scolded with a smile: "What are you pretending?" You guys don't have a good thing. ”

Although I still don't understand what it means, I still see Yan Qiu's expression for the first time, and I haven't seen her so shy when I was in the hotel before.

I broke the casserole and continued to ask Yanqiu, "What do you mean?" I really don't know, sue me and scold again. ”

Yan Qiu glared at me, and then asked, "How did you use contraception in ancient times?" ”

I said helplessly, "Take medicine." ”

As soon as the words fell, I found that I had completely understood, it turned out that the kid was asking me to use this as an application, and I was made a joke, and I actually asked Yanqiu stupidly.

I walked to the campfire in a rage and glared at the assistant, who was still smiling so strangely, that I threw the swim bladder into the fire with a flick of it, and said in words he didn't understand: "You careless little virgin, don't make jokes about my brother." ”

The fat brother and Uncle Galu laughed wildly, and the assistant of the unicorn was puzzled by laughter, but unfortunately he couldn't understand what I said, and no one translated for him.

Because the fish is too big, we can't grill it whole, so we have to slice the fish meat off the fish, and then wear the fish fillet on the sharpened branches, and let Jiang Li roast it.

When everyone was full, more than half of the fish remained, and it was laid flat there. If it weren't for the limitations of cooking methods, it is estimated that this fish can make a table of dishes, and the whole fish banquet will be more high-grade when it is called the whole fish banquet.

Everyone gathered around the campfire, chatting happily, of course, only between people who spoke the same language, and Uncle Garu and Surina seemed to be especially at ease. However, Su Rina and the unicorn communicate in English, Yan Qiu can also understand it, and I can understand a little half.

By helping everyone go to the river to fetch water, I asked Su Rina: "When the fire was lit just now, the one-horned assistant used a black, key-like thing, what is that?" I think it's pretty easy to use. ”

Su Rina laughed at my lack of knowledge and told me: "The key you said is called magnesium rod flint and steel, which is specially used for making fire in the wild, and it is sold in the store, and it is cheap." ”

I nodded and smiled and said, "The first time I saw it, it was indeed a good thing." ”

The kettle that we both gave to everyone with a single horn was full of river water and walked back. As I walked, I unscrewed the lid and drank the water inside.

As soon as the water entered his mouth, the unicorn stood up and shouted at me.

Although I didn't understand what he said, I knew that he wouldn't let me drink water, so I hurriedly spit out the river water in my mouth and looked at Su Rina suspiciously.

Su Rina also expressed confusion, not knowing what a single horn meant.

At this time, Uncle Galu said: "The river water should be boiled on the fire and drunk, it is easy to breed bacteria in it, do you want to have diarrhea?" ”

Only then did I know that the unicorn was kind, and I thought I was using the wrong pot before, and I drank the water in the unicorn pot, and people have a habit of cleanliness. I screwed the lid of the pot and opened the lid on the side, and laid it flat on the fire to boil the water, and the one-horned assistant got a handful of green pine needles from some tree and threw them into my boiling water.

I thought this kid was joking with me again, and just as I was about to open my mouth to scold, Jiang Li said, "Drinking this is good." ”

I asked, "What are the benefits of drinking pine needles?" ”

Jiang Li said: "In the plateau area, water loss is very fast, drinking pine needle tea can keep water, and even eating pine needles directly when there is a shortage of water can also replenish a lot of water." ”

This is the first time I've heard of this, but this trip, my first time is too many, and it's not unusual.

I smelled the boiled pine needle tea, and there was really a faint aroma of tea, and I smiled and nodded to the assistant of the unicorn to express my gratitude.

Eating and drinking, sleepiness hit, this is also the first time to stay overnight in the mountains, the surroundings seem extraordinarily calm, who knows that this seemingly calm night, but it is destined to happen some strange things.
