19. Catch fish
The next day, when the brook was up, it was quiet outside, and she rubbed her eyes and lifted the straw curtain and walked out of the cave.
Seeing that the two men were no longer on the stone cliff platform, the animal skins were also taken aside by them to prepare for the sun to dry.
As far as the stream could see, a thin mist slowly crept through the gaps in the groves, and the first sun illuminated the branches of the trees.
Suddenly, he heard a sound from below the cliff, and the brook stretched out his head to look down, and Qing Cang was using his claws to process a log into firewood for a fire.
"Qingcang, you went to the forest to cut wood."
Qing Cang raised his head, looked at her and nodded, "Xiaoxi, you wake up, you wait a little longer for breakfast, and Changfeng will bring the prey back in a while." ”
Listening to what Qing Cang said, how could Xiaoxi have a feeling that she was being fostered.
In addition to sleeping, it is to eat, but there are no high-rise buildings, clothing, jewelry or anything here, if it weren't for the lack of these here, she really felt like she was being fed.
"Your leg is not healed yet, I'll just get firewood in the future."
Qing Cang didn't say yes or no, just continued to keep his head down and do the work in his hands.
Xiaoxi looked at Qing Cang and thought that he had hurt him, and his self-esteem as a male hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that you will hurt your leg bones again when you work." ”
"I know, I just want to do what I can."
"Okay, I won't talk about it in the future, but you also have to promise me to be careful and don't hurt your leg again."
Hearing Xiaoxi's concern, a smile appeared on Qing Cang's face.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiaoxi somehow felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but she couldn't say it.
Whatever you call it all listen to her.
I couldn't think of it, Xiaoxi didn't think much about it, so she put this sentence behind her, turned around and washed.
Today Changfeng came back with a big beast with him.
It's just that after eating three barbecues in a row, Xiaoxi couldn't stand it a little, so he put the three fist-sized bird eggs that Changfeng found yesterday and boiled them in a pot.
She decided to come back early in the afternoon to cook the meat and eat it, and although she wanted to eat a little vegetarian, Xiaoxi knew that males didn't like vegetarian food.
She also wanted to keep the red grain flour as a reserve food, so she insisted on eating barbecue with them.
After eating, Xiaoxi also went to pick mushrooms, and she wanted to take advantage of this time when the mushrooms were growing wildly, and she wanted to pick more to dry and keep them for the winter.
Because she knew that the orcs ate meat in winter, she thought it would be better to store more vegetarian food, and after eating three meals of barbecue, she felt tired of eating it, maybe it would be better to get used to it later.
Xiaoxi felt that it would be better to be kind to herself if she could choose.
In the morning, Xiaoxi not only picked two baskets of mushrooms, but also asked Changfeng, who followed her, to help cut a bundle of thin strips with her claws, and she was going to weave another basket when she returned in the evening.
In the afternoon, Xiaoxi wanted to go to the big river to catch fish, Qingcang and Changfeng began to disagree, but they couldn't resist Xiaoxi's insistence, and finally the three of them went to the big river together.
Walking to the river, Xiaoxi took out a dress made of python skin from the back basket, which was given to her by Xiaohua, and she was never willing to wear it.
This time, I wore it because I had to go down to the river to catch fish, and it would be very inconvenient to wear a hairy animal skin in the water.
Creek found a hiding place to change into, and waited until she came out.
Only Changfeng was there, and Qing Cang didn't know what to do.
Seeing Changfeng's expression, she realized that this dress was too close-fitting, revealing this bumpy and convex good figure to the fullest.
"Where do you look? Turn your head away."
Changfeng heard Xiaoxi's words shouted with a red face, and hurriedly turned around.
He touched the bottom of his nose, patted his chest and whispered, "Fortunately, there was no nosebleed this time, otherwise it would have been too big." ”
Ye Xiaoxi looked at him, turned around, and hurriedly jumped into the big river.
Long Wind heard the creek jump into the river, and he turned around.
There was no shadow of the stream on the river, and he shouted a few times, and no one should jump into it. Then he saw a splash on the surface of the river, and then the brook came out, and there was a fish in his hand.
Xiaoxi saw Changfeng looking at her blankly and said, "What are you doing in a daze," and threw the fish in his hand towards the shore after speaking.
"Put it in the back basket quickly, find a shallow place and put it away, or you will die in a while."
After saying that, he got into the water again, but this time it didn't go so well, and he didn't catch a single fish several times.
Changfeng wanted to go down to help her catch fish together, but Xiaoxi refused because he was injured.
In the afternoon, the creek caught more than a dozen fish, the small ones were only about one catty, and the largest one was only four or five catties.
Although I looked like I caught a lot, I didn't have much of it in the sun.
It seems that it is a bit hanging to use fish as a reserve food, and besides, salty fish needs salt, and the most lacking thing in the creek at this time is salt.
Xiaoxi saw that the sunset had covered the sky, so he decided to leave it like this today, and he didn't admit defeat, but he didn't expect to catch it so late.
When I went back to the creek in the evening, I didn't mention the meat again, because the three of them were hungry after a busy afternoon.
In the afternoon, when the creek was catching fish, Qing Cang was dealing with the beast skins that had been newly caught today.
Changfeng didn't stay by the river all the time, and he heard that Xiaoxi likes to eat mushrooms, so he picked a lot of mushrooms for Xiaoxi.
At night, they still eat barbecue, which is their staple food for the orcs, and if they eat anything else, they are not used to it.
But for Xiaoxi, she can't eat barbecue in a row.
In the evening, when the two of them were barbecuing, she stewed a pot of fish and mushroom soup, and when she came out of the pot, she grabbed a handful of wild vegetables and put them in it, took out a few of the last remaining salts and kept them for rinsing her teeth in the morning, and put the rest in the fish soup.
Because there was a stone bowl in the brook, they were told to eat it first, and when they saw the fish in the pot, they seemed to be not interested in it.
Xiaoxi, seeing them like this, had to eat it by themselves, and although the fish and mushroom stewed soup only put some salt, it was really delicious.
In the middle, Qingcang handed her a piece of barbecue, but Xiaoxi refused.
Because the fish soup is cooked for three people, although the creek does not eat less, there is a lot left.
Originally, Xiaoxi thought that it would be okay to keep it for tomorrow. Unexpectedly, as soon as she put down the dishes and chopsticks, Changfeng ate two large bowls of fish soup with the dishes and chopsticks she had eaten.
Because Qing Cang didn't grab the dishes and chopsticks, he stood by the pot with a bamboo tube and ate all the fish and soup left in the pot.
Xiaoxi was strange to see that they did not spit out the fish bones when they ate the fish, and only after asking did they know that they had sharp teeth, and they all ground the fish bones and ate them.
Xiaoxi looked at these two men and almost dropped her jaw.
"Don't you like to eat?"
"It's delicious," Qingcang said, licking his lips.
"I just haven't eaten it, let's see if it's delicious," Changfeng whispered embarrassedly.
Xiaoxi looked at the two men who were quite big, and she wanted to laugh a little when she was still childish, and she really laughed out loud.
Qingcang and Changfeng's ears were red from the tips of Xiaoxi's laughter.
Eventually, Creek was pushed out of the kitchen by two annoyed men.
The stream that was kicked out took out the thin strips that Changfeng had cut for her, and prepared to make a larger back basket to use.
Qing Cang and Changfeng finished their work in the kitchen, walked to the creek and sat down, while learning how to weave a basket, chatting with the creek, this silent night, the creek no longer felt lonely.
