Chapter 878: Famine, Natural Disasters 35
The little brother and sister made a good decision, Cheng Mingli was responsible for skinning and processing rabbits, and Mingyi was responsible for finding Chai He to barbecue.
There were only so many spices, the fire rose, and Cheng Mingli handled the two rabbits and sent them to Mingyi; Mingyi strung one of the clean branches and put them on the stacked shelves, and in order to save salt, he carefully did not waste salt when he rubbed salt on the rabbit.
The other rabbit didn't move, only covered it with weeds; This rabbit is going to be taken back, and it needs an extra salt to roast here.
The rabbit is cut into small pieces to dry, and the bones are not lost; Put it on the stone to dry it together, and the water can also be preserved.
The rabbit was roasted, Mingyi tore it off and tasted it, it was faintly salty, and the smell was a little fishy in the mouth, which was not very strong.
"Brother, come on, the rabbit is roasted."
"Here we are." Cheng Mingli tidied up the last bit of things, and ran to the edge of the pool to wash his hands before coming over.
Mingyi tore off a rabbit's hind leg for him, and she also tore one to eat, "Brother eats, and there are two legs, bring it back to my father." ”
"My sister is so good." Take a bite of rabbit meat, and the meat is more hungry than coarse grains and wild vegetables, even if it smells fishy.
The brother and sister ate a rabbit separately, and the remaining two legs were wrapped in dead leaves.
Mingyi wrapped the two dead leaves, pulled out some wild vegetables for his brother to carry, and hid the rabbit legs in the wild vegetables, "Brother, you bring some wild vegetables back and give them to your mother." ”
"It's okay for you to be here alone, don't run around, wait for my brother to come back." I don't feel at ease and I tell you again and again.
Mingyi nodded obediently, and he ran back, because he was worried that his sister was alone in the wild, he ran very fast; He also has internal strength, and when he runs, he can run more easily than in the past.
Mingyi was not idle, and the kitchen knife was placed on the stone platform, in order to prevent the meat from being stolen by other beasts; She set up a maze with stones, either a powerful formation, or to confuse a living object.
Doing this, she ran through the unexplored meadows and forests, and saw rabbits and pheasants caught and killed and thrown into space.
On the shady side of the meadow she also found several wild peppers, which were very small and red; Thrown into the space together, and looking for something that could be used in the mountains.
After walking a distance, the scene in the mountains and forests became more and more desolate.
Mingyi didn't go any further, but went back in another direction; When she was about to reach the meadow, she faintly heard her brother's call, and when she saw that the sun in the sky was approaching noon, she had been out for several hours.
"Brother, I'm here."
Shout out loud.
Cheng Mingli, who was a mile away, heard it, followed the sound, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mingyi was fine.
"Why are you running around, didn't you tell you to wait for your brother over there!" Cheng Mingli was out of breath, and he was in a hurry to find his sister and even forgot about the operation exercises.
"Brother, I just walked a little farther, and I didn't run around."
Cheng Mingli knocked her forehead, "I haven't run around yet, I'm not so fooling my brother." ”
"Hey, hey." Mingyi rubbed her forehead, "Brother, I really didn't run around!" ”
"Don't be coquettish, I won't take you out if I'm disobedient."
Mingyi nodded again and again and pretended to be obedient, her eyes were full of sincerity.
Cheng Mingli was full of helplessness, such a coquettish sister, where could he bear to refuse her request?
"Brother, did you give the meat to your mother?"
"Yes, I came out with my father, and my father and mother will only go back after they eat in the valley; Don't worry about it, worry too much at a young age, be careful that you don't grow tall. ”
Mingyi wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, and pulled Cheng Mingli back to the place where the rabbits were dry; Kick away a stone without a trace, and the formation will naturally break.
"Brother, it's noon, we should go back."
"It's time to go back to dinner, you're going to kill me; Next time, you must not run around, and my brother will lose his temper again. Cheng Mingli said.
Mingyi hurriedly diverted the topic, "What about these rabbit meats?" Shall we bring it back? It's hard to take back so much. ”
"Let's just dry it like this, let's hurry over after eating, I hope we won't be eaten by the game in the mountains." Cheng Mingli took into account the practical problem, so much meat tastes good when brought back.
People who haven't eaten meat for a long time will be very sensitive when they suddenly smell meat.
If they brought back the meat that had not been dried, they would surely be discovered by the people.
Mingyi nodded when she saw this, "Then let's get sun, let's come back as soon as we finish eating." ”
"The kitchen knife has to be brought back, not lost." Cheng Mingli picked up the kitchen knife on the stone, and couldn't help but be glad that his sister put the kitchen knife here and was not found or taken away.
Before leaving, Mingyi put the stone back; In Cheng Mingli's eyes, she just accidentally touched the stone and didn't suspect it.
The little brother and sister trotted back for lunch, and came out again, they didn't bring kitchen knives.
Mingyi sighed, what should she do with the pheasants and hares in her space, she can't clean it up without a kitchen knife; Thinking that the space would not deteriorate, I finally waited for the next town to find a way to get a knife no matter what.
Thinking so, they had already run to the stone where the rabbit was drying.
In the next half day, Mingyi and Mingli found a slightly shaded place, where they could teach Mingli martial arts while looking at the meat on the stone.
Cheng Mingli is indeed not material for martial arts, and he learned the first nine moves in half a day, and there are still twenty-three moves behind.
In the evening, the practice of martial arts ends.
The brother and sister returned to the stone sweating profusely to see that the rabbit meat had been curled and dried.
"Tomorrow for another day, if only there was a pot; The rabbit meat is boiled and dried for another day, and we can take it out and eat it at any time on the road in the future. Cheng Mingli regretted it.
There is a fixed number of pots, and you can't take them out at will.
Mingyi thought about it, and according to the memory of the original owner, she learned that her mother had hidden a small pot, which was very small; That's what she often saw when she followed Chen Daya, and Cheng Mingli didn't know about these things.
After all, she is young, and Chen Daya is afraid that they will leak her mouth, and she will not mention important things to them.
"Brother, when they fall asleep, let's come out and cook at night?"
Cheng Mingli hesitated: "It's too dangerous, the two of us at night, my brother can't protect you." ”
"Brother, you forgot, I can protect you; My internal strength can already crush stones, I don't think it's weak, and I have learned all the martial arts moves. ”
Cheng Mingli still didn't nod, Mingyi kept trying, "Try it!" It's a shame that so much meat can't be eaten in the mouth. ”
"Then try it, it's just that it's dark at night" It's not convenient to move.
Cheng Mingli finally gritted his teeth and agreed, Mingyi naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
"Don't be afraid, the moon of fifteen or sixteen is round and round, and you can see it." The only thing to watch out for is the snake.
It's hard to guard against at night.
"Then try it, steal the pot out at night, and put it back when it's done; It's just that where should we put the cooked meat, and we can't put it if we don't have a place. ”
