88. Liulan
In fact, eating rats is not uncommon. Especially in the southern region, as well as in countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar, rat meat is even considered a delicacy.
But this thing is really dirty, as the old saying goes, if you don't eat it, you won't get sick, but this kind of small animal that has all kinds of unclear germs on the body, can you eat it, or try not to touch it.
Hao Dong was distracted for a while, and suddenly woke up to his current situation, and while his heart was weak, he went to see Qi Jue. He has a lot of questions now, and he doesn't know if he can ask Xiao Qi Ye clearly.
For example, who attacked their camp? How did he end up in the lake? And how did Xiao Qi know that there could be an underground island in the middle of the lake here? And also......
He suddenly remembered that when he was in the water just now, he seemed to have faced a moment of suffocation, and at that time it seemed that someone had crossed the air for him?
Then you don't have to think about it, it can only be Xiao Qiye, Hao Dong suddenly felt that his ears were hot. The soaked body was still trembling when the yin wind blew here, but it didn't tremble anymore, but there was a strange feeling of heart heating.
Suddenly, even looking at the other party was a little undaring.
Hao Dong couldn't figure it out here, Qi Jue was on the other side, and things in his hands didn't stop.
He plans to go into the water to investigate in a while, and he is not afraid of anything in his own words, but when the time comes, Hao Dong will have to be left alone on this island in the middle of the lake, so some preparations must be made. For example, prepare a fire for Hao Dong that is enough to burn for a certain amount of time.
He had already roughly sorted out the things he was carrying before, and there were not many that could come in handy for the time being. However, there are waterproof matches in it, and as long as there is enough fuel, ignition should not be a problem.
As for fuel, it might not be easy to get around if it's bare, but don't worry about it now. The corpses of rats everywhere are large enough to provide a sufficient amount of animal fat.
The process of peeling the skin and scraping the oil is really not a good experience, but in order for Hao Dong to have a relatively safer environment after he leaves for a while, this is something that has to be done.
Qi Jue worked for a while, and felt that Hao Dong should be able to do this job himself. In this case, as long as you teach him how to get it, and after a while, he will find that the oil is not enough to burn, and he can scrape it himself.
Thinking of this, he asked Hao Dong, "Is your knife still there?" ”
Qi Jue was talking about a machete that Ergou later gave Hao Dong, which was not very big, but sharp enough, for which he also gave Hao Dong a leather scabbard that could be tied to his leg.
Hao Dong listened to Qi Jue's question, reached out and touched it, and found that the scabbard was still there, but the opening was open, and the knife was estimated to have fallen when it was in the water just now.
Only then did he remember that when he was arched by the unknown aquatic creature towards the middle of the lake, he also tried to resist with a knife, but then he was swept into it by a whirlpool that suddenly appeared, and the knife was gone.
Qi Jue saw him stunned, his eyes moved to his lap, and he immediately understood. didn't say much, and handed over the knife he was using: "You come and see how I get it, and follow along." ”
Hao Dong took the knife a little sneeringly, he was so useless, if he changed to a second dog, he would probably not only be yelled, but it was estimated that he would be picked up until he wanted to cry. As a result, Xiao Qi Ye didn't say a word, which made his face even hotter.
Qi Jue gave the knife to Hao Dong, and he could only pull out the deception again. Although such a big sword is more in the way, fortunately, the deception is sharp enough to not make a mistake.
Hao Dong followed and watched for a while, and understood that Xiao Qi Ye meant that he was asking him to pick fat dead rats, remove the fat from their bodies, and after concentrating enough of them, use them to start a fire.
He's a chef here, and he's pretty good at it. The two of them tossed for a while, and they scraped out a lot of them.
Qi Jue took all the mouse skins that he had picked off before, spread them on the ground, spread them in a few layers, covered them with the fat oil, and lit the fire.
It is not easy to light this kind of grease directly, and there is wind in the hole, and it takes a lot of time to finally catch it.
Fortunately, once lit, it is not easy to extinguish, and there are a lot of rat skin and meat on the side, when the fuel is added to the burn, it should be able to support for a while.
In addition, Hao Dong can also replenish new grease at any time, except for this kind of rat in this cave, other creatures will not come ashore, and basically Hao Dong can ensure safety.
However, Qi Jue looked at Hao Dong, hesitated for a while, but still took off half of his clothes, took off a piece of iron pipe that was tightly tied to his left arm, and then motioned to Hao Dong: "Come here, give me your arm." ”
Hao Dong was very obedient, first pulled up his sleeves, stretched out his arm to Qi Jue, and then asked, "What is this?" ”
Qi Jue didn't answer immediately, and paused before speaking: "Liulan." ”
The name was a bit quaint, Hao Dong didn't understand it for a while, but immediately he saw the inscription on the dark iron pipe with a seal: "It's so classical." ”
"Well, it's out of the same place as the deception."
Qi Jue's answer surprised Hao Dong, the origin of the frost, he also knew about it after getting along for so long, and he came out of the same place as the frost, so that is to say, this was also left to him by Qi Jue's mother.
Hao Dong was not calm for a moment: "I, I, I, what if I break it or lose it?" ”
Qi Jue glanced at him lightly: "Then don't break it and lose it." ”
In fact, according to the installation principle of this thing itself, unless it is deliberately disassembled, it is indeed unlikely to be touched in the middle of the bump. Qi Jue tied Hao Dong on his arm and locked it, and then instructed him how to use it:
"If you have enough arm strength, you actually have to rely on the strength of your hand movements to trigger it. But you shouldn't be strong enough to move now, so you can only use this. As he spoke, Qi Jue flipped down a small pull ring from the mouth of the pipe, "This is the trigger mechanism, pull it, launch it once, you can fire it ten times in total." ”
Then he took out a small box from the pocket inside his clothes, and inside was a tube of potion: "The medicine in this syringe is used in Liulan." Once you're done with it, you can use this syringe to add a potion to Ryuran. ”
Qi Jue signaled to Hao Dong, and then put the potion back in the box and handed the box to Hao Dong:
"You put it away. Here is an anesthetic that penetrates the epidermal tissue of the organism. If something feels wrong approaching, you can shoot it first, spray it in the eye, and wait for it to be paralyzed before slaughtering it. ”
There are so many water rats dead here, and these things shouldn't be a security threat for the time being. Qi Jue gave Hao Dong Liulan, just in case, in case there were any more fierce amphibians appearing, Hao Dong could also deal with them better.
It's a pity that because there is a water source in the place where he came this time, he is afraid of pollution, so he only puts an ordinary anesthetic in it, instead of the high-concentration sodium cyanide that he is used to using in the past, otherwise the lethality will be much greater.
However, considering Hao Dong's own conditions, Qi Jue felt that it was not bad to be an anesthetic. At least even if this thing is accidentally contaminated by itself, it will not be poisoned and die immediately.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say one more sentence: "When launching, you must pay attention to your hands downward." You can find a mouse skin and wrap your hand first, so as not to accidentally get contaminated it. ”
Hao Dong had a feeling that he had been treated like a child, but when he thought that he had really been useless all the way, he could only nod obediently.
Fortunately, he has been exercising with iron sand tied to his hands and feet recently, and now he has changed to iron pipes, and he doesn't feel that there is any hindrance in his movements. Otherwise, there is no need for Qi Jue to say, he himself will have to die of depression.
Qi Jue got it for him, and finally felt a little relieved, so he sorted out the things on his body, and planned to go into the water lightly for a while and complete the investigation as soon as possible.
As a result, after taking out all the things that I couldn't use for the time being, I was still undecided when I thought about it, and turned my head again: "You shoot once and show me." ”
Hao Dong just found a piece of mouse skin that looked quite clean, Qi Jue was by his side, he was also more daring, went to the water to clean it slightly, and then took it back to the fire and roasted it, planning to tie it up to himself when it was dry in a while.
He was actually quite worried, he had never been in contact with this kind of mechanism before, and if he couldn't kill the enemy, he would lose more than just face.
Hearing Qi Jue's words, he really wanted to cooperate, and having a little Qi Ye to give guidance was obviously much better than waiting for him to encounter a situation himself. But when it came time to start, he hesitated a little: "Will it be too wasteful of medicine?" ”
"That can't be helped," Qi Jue explained while helping him correct the posture and angle of his arm, "This mechanism has a very sensitive sense of the density of the liquid inside, and my potions are all mixed in a fixed proportion. If you change the water to practice at this time, and change back to the potion later, you will still not be able to master it. ”
This is really a limitless way, Hao Dong can only work hard and study hard, and strive to achieve his goal with as few attempts as possible.
Hao Dong had never tried shooting before, and he didn't realize this attempt for the time being, but Qi Jue found from his posture that this kid didn't seem to lack exercise for this kind of exercise.
Because although Hao Dong's movements look a little jerky, in fact, his arms are raised very smoothly, and the landing point of the crosshair and the direction of his eyes are quite consistent. In other words, even if Qi never gives him guidance, there may be deviations at the beginning, but after a few times, Hao Dong himself will be able to do well.
Now with Qi Jue's guidance, Hao Dong comprehended very quickly, and as soon as he launched it, a water rat lurking under the water not far away was shot, and it didn't take long for him to flip his belly and float onto the water.
Qi Jue was a little surprised.
You must know that shooting in the air, if the talent is good enough, there are indeed novices who have a very high target rate. But if it's across the water, it's not going to work. Because of the refraction on the surface of the water, it takes a lot of exercise to have enough experience to adjust the angle when shooting.
Although the anesthetic itself is also a liquid, and it will spread rapidly after reaching the water, Qi Jue's eyesight is destined to be able to see the situation in the water just now.
What he saw was that under Liulan's strong thrust, the dose of medicine still maintained the appearance of a waterline when it entered the water, and directly stabbed the part of the cervical vertebrae of the water rat.
It was true that the mouse was turned over by numbness in the end because the anesthetic spread in the water - even a few fish on the side also flipped their stomachs - but what happened the moment they entered the water made Qi Jue have to wonder if Hao Dong had received very formal shooting training before.
The reason why he didn't think Hao Dong would be a pure slingshot enthusiast was because the slingshot and this kind of barrel structure were different. The accuracy is good, and the operation must be familiar and stable to achieve the best results. It's just that with some slingshot air guns and the like, it's impossible to use Liulan for the first time to this extent.
Or, Qi Jue looked at Hao Dong again, or was this kid all luck just now?
