Chapter 17: Barbecue
The dark night, in the air with the smell of blood, was eerie and cold.
The wind howls in the forest, and from time to time you can hear the rustle of leaves in the wind. It was already close to midnight, and suddenly an owl flew overhead, making Joteki dare not relax, as if the darkness was about to swallow everything, Joteki did not dare to think about it, only waiting for the dawn to come.
He picked up a sturdy branch from the ground, one as thick as an adult's thumb, and the other as thick as the tip of Jotchi's little finger, three feet long, and it was quite easy to hold.
Joteki rubbed the tip of the branch, then sat down next to a barely smooth bluestone and began to polish the branch on the bluestone.
This branch is suspected to be a branch that withered last winter, and it has lost any vitality and water.
Joteki touched the tip of the branch, and in addition to being able to feel the temperature above, more importantly, the branch already had the ability to puncture the fur.
Joteki picked up the branch and walked to the dying wolf, although he felt that the wolf was a little pitiful, but when he thought of the fierce eyes of the beast before, he no longer hesitated, and the branch pierced the belly of the wolf, and the wolf "whined" and completely lost his breath.
Before Jotch was hungry enough to allow himself to eat raw meat, he decided to make a fire to roast the wolf.
It's just that in this wilderness and green forest, how can there be a source of fire? Jotchi couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Alas, it would be nice if I could learn the first-order magic fireball technique. ”
I think that at that time, Yotchi also lit up the light of the magic potential stone, although the potential value was only more than thirty, but it was enough for him to easily learn low-level magic, the fireball technique is the lowest level of magic, as long as there is a magic seal of the fireball technique, you can learn it quickly.
He remembered that it only took Yotewei half a day to learn the fireball technique, and his magic seals were all occupied by Yotwi, so he never had the opportunity to cultivate, and now that he thought about it, he shouldn't have given up on himself in the first place, learning some magic, in this deep mountain, it can still play a vital role.
Joteki pulled the branch out of the wolf's belly, and the smell of blood came to his nose again, and he recalled the scene when he bit off the eye of the wolf leader before, and the smell of blood was really disgusting, which also strengthened Jotage's determination not to eat raw meat.
Looking at the bloody branch, Joteki suddenly thought of the story that the old butler had told him before, a story about drilling wood to make fire.
Joteki thought about the warm afterglow on the branches when he touched them just now, and he thought it was feasible to drill wood to make fire, and immediately began to look for dead leaves and branches excitedly.
Although the forest is full of greenery, it does not mean that this forest does not have a dead season, there are few people here, the original form of the forest is well preserved, the ground is full of dead branches and leaves, and Joteki quickly cleaned up a pile of dead leaves, and a few dead branches.
When Joteki had piled up a few stones, gathered the leaves in them, he began to drill the wood.
As soon as I exerted force on my hand, I felt a dull pain in my left arm, and after a long time, the wound that had stopped bleeding opened again, and the black cloth sleeve that wrapped the wound was wet.
Joteki gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to rub, but how could this drill wood for fire be so simple.
At first, there was no reaction at all, and after about a moment, little Yotch began to be able to ask about the mush, but did not see the slightest spark. At this point, Joteki seemed to be accustomed to the pain, and it took a full hour to go from the mushy smell to grinding out the sparks.
Eventually, smoke began to rise from the rotten leaves in the pile of stones, and it wasn't until an open flame appeared that Yotwizard stopped moving.
By this time, his hands had already blistered, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.
Joteki set up branches on the stones, and soon a bonfire appeared, and together with the fire, there was no sign of abate. There is a lot of dead and rotten leaves here, and there is no need for fuel supply.
Joteki seemed to be overly hungry, and instead of rushing to roast the wolf, he watched the campfire start. As if in the flames, he saw the life he was looking forward to, and saw his Grandpa Sango......
Jotchi knew that he had no parents, no siblings, he was just a failed product made from Yodal, and in this world, he probably shouldn't have enjoyed love, but fortunately he had Grandpa Sando who made him feel real affection.
Maybe in this world, his only relative is Grandpa Sangdao.
It wasn't until the fire became weak that Joteki woke up from his dream, hurriedly picked up some dead branches and leaves, and threw them into the fire.
Then Joteki found five or six sturdy branches, and put the dead wolf through from beginning to end, Joteki was not a barbecue master, he didn't know how to roast quickly, and he didn't know how to roast to make it more fragrant, he simply put the branch on the wolf's body, and then put it on the stone, and let the fire burn on the wolf.
Fortunately, Joteki did not peel off the fur of the wild wolf, and the burnt places were all wild wolf's fur, and the meat inside was still intact.
Soon, the mushy flavor permeated with the aroma of meat.
From the moment Yotchi smelled the meat, his stomach couldn't control it anymore, and after only ten minutes of roasting, Jotch began to try to eat it, and only gave up after finding that the meat couldn't be torn off.
Eventually, the wolf roasted for more than an hour.
The barbecue gradually made a sizzling sound, and the fur on the outside was already burnt, and when Joteki picked it up with the first branch, a piece of burnt wolf skin was peeled off, and the hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump meat, which was intoxicating.
Joteki sniffed carefully, sniffed slowly, and the gluttonous insects were quickly aroused.
He finally couldn't help it, and he didn't care about the heat, so he immediately inserted a piece of leg meat and took a big bite.
"Wow! cool! hot!" Joteki's mouth was hot at the first bite, only to feel that his mouth was hot and boiling, but full of satisfaction filled Jotči's whole body.
The meat is washed by charcoal fire, and the aroma is overflowing, and because the wolf has just died, the meat is very tender, and the delicious taste reaches the tip of the tongue and the meat is full of meat.
One chew, forget all the unpleasantness, two chew, people seem to float in the sky, three chews, like a feather soaring, what can be happier than a hungry ghost here feasting on barbecue?
Although this wild wolf is not big, it is also fifty or sixty pounds heavy, and one hind leg is at least four or five pounds heavy.
After a full stomach, Joteki forgot all his troubles for the time being, and fell asleep in the residual warmth of the charcoal fire......
----------------------
The next day, the morning sun reflected in the forest early, but fortunately Joteki was under a dense uncle, and the sun did not wake him up too soon, until the dew evaporated, and Joteki opened his eyes under the harassment of several squirrels.
Yotech shook his head, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to touch his black package, and secretly cursed himself: "Yoteqi Ajotchi, you are running for your life, how can you still sleep? ”
At this time, Joteki didn't know what was going on inside the castle, but he knew that if he wanted to escape, he couldn't afford to delay time.
The wolf meat in front of him has been pecked by various birds, and Jotch ate very well last night, and he didn't sleep for long this night, and he didn't feel hungry, so he continued to go west.
Joteki walked in this forest until the evening, and then walked out of the forest, and after leaving the forest, Joteki realized that the forest where he was was a big mountain jungle.
Now I walked down the mountain, and found that at the foot of the mountain, there are still several families, simple wooden houses, and every household has fishing nets to dry, which is obviously a fishing village living by the sea.
Looking ahead, there is the endless sea.
