She believed him.

Moreover, although she is weak, she is a strong girl at heart.

Although too, a timid girl.

Minco noticed her little hand clutching her skirt in fear, smiled, and reached out to touch her somewhat messy hair.

Feeling that hand, Qiao Qiao blushed a little, but Ming Ke didn't think about it so much, because he had always been like this to Tao Yao, he was born a god, and he was used to guarding his friends as a big brother, even if it seemed that he was the shortest one.

"Actually, it's okay, as long as I take care of my injuries, I'm a monkey in the mountains, and I'll be able to take you out along the stream. He reassured.

"As for how to take care of the injured ......" Ye Mingke said this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly drooled a little, seeing Qiao Qiao looking at his strange eyes, he wiped his mouth embarrassedly, grinned and smirked: "I just need to eat, eat meat, eat a lot of meat, and then sleep for a long time, soon." ”

"Really?" Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes widened.

"Of course. Ye Mingke continued to smirk, feeling that he was about to drool again, so he quickly reined in and sat upright.

"But what are we going to eat?" Jojo lowered her head and touched her stomach, which made a muffled rumbling sound from her empty stomach, they hadn't eaten in a long time.

"What to eat?"

That's a problem.

Ye Mingke began to take out things from his body, a small dagger, a few pieces of dry food, two flintstones, and then a conditioning bag, a seasoning bag, and a seasoning bag. Everything was still there, and even the dry food had been wrapped with several layers of tarps to prevent the rainy climate of the town, so there was only a little water in the river after floating in the river for so long.

The two of them stared at the few pieces of dry food that could only make up for one meal at most.

Suddenly, there were a few rat cries from the side, and a few fat rats scurried through the weeds.

Ye Mingke was stunned and began to drool again, Qiao Qiao noticed his gaze, suddenly thought of something, his little face changed slightly, and he subconsciously moved back.

"That's not a mouse. Ye Mingke noticed the change in Qiao Qiao's expression, and turned his head to explain, "That's a vole." ”

Jojo didn't speak, and quietly moved a little farther away.

"Let me tell you, voles taste much better than mice, voles don't have that body smell, but they are delicious. Mingke's eyes lit up.

Qiaoqiao's face turned a little pale, and he quietly moved away a little.

"Voles eat leaves and roots, as long as they are clean, they are not dirty. Ye Mingke also wanted to continue to explain.

"I'll just eat dry food. Jojo's face tensed, but weak but firm in reply.

"One rat tops three chickens, and the nutrition of voles is better than that of old hens. ”

"I'll just eat dry food. Jojo's face tensed, and he replied weakly but firmly.

"Okay. Ye Mingke shook his head weakly, sighing regretfully for Qiao Qiao.

As for how to catch voles, this is not a problem for Ye Mingke, a little expert in wilderness survival. A few twigs make an activity trigger, plus a large piece of detached heavier wall stone and a small piece of dry food to turn into a simple but effective rat trap.

Although Qiao Qiao said that he would only eat dry food, he really couldn't see Ye Mingke dragging his injured and feverish body as a trap, and he followed him for a long time.

The trap is set. The rat hasn't taken the bait yet, Ye Mingke has already sent Qiao Qiao to boil water and prepare to wash the vole.

"Jojo, have you found a container for water?"

Qiao Qiao searched and searched for a long time, but only found a small incense burner on the incense table that could be used.

"Jojo, you're so slow. ”

Qiao Qiao bowed and bowed in front of the statue, and explained to the gods for a long time in a chattering voice, and only when he heard Ye Mingke's call, he picked up the incense burner and responded loudly.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

"Qiaoqiao, remember to wash the incense burner before filling it with water. ”

"Okay. ”

"Qiaoqiao, remember to go to the leaky place to directly catch the rain from the sky, and you can't use stagnant water. ”

"Got it. ”

"Jojo ....."

"Yes, yes, you will be so scared that you will never take the bait. Qiaoqiao, who had been urged several times, crossed his waist a little angrily, turned around and replied angrily.

"Okay. ”

Hearing Ye Mingke answer in his soft and impatient voice not far away, Qiao Qiao couldn't help laughing out loud, and he broke his work all of a sudden.

The laughter dispersed, and the long-winded and urgent Ming Ke also stopped, and the entire small temple fell silent all of a sudden.

In addition to the rustling of rain between heaven and earth, only the raindrops hit the incense burner in front of him, which was gradually filled with rain, made a tinkling sound, splashing a circle of ripples that spread and reverberate.

It's very peaceful, it's quiet.

Qiao Qiao squatted down with his knees and looked at the incense burner that was gradually filled with clear rain, and felt that his heart was like the incense burner in front of him, gradually overflowing. Slightly rippling, it also feels peaceful and clear.

She watched quietly as the incense burner was full.

Then the two of them set up firewood, piled grass, lit a fire, and waited quietly for the water to boil, until the water vapor between the two of them was filled, like cigarette smoke, as if this ancient temple that had been abandoned for many years suddenly had incense in the world again.

Since a mouse-trap had not been caught so far, the first boiling water in the quiet mist was half used to clean the wound of some gluttonous ghost who had finally remembered that he had not yet treated it, and half of it was used by a cute little girl to groom and groom himself.

When the second furnace boiled, there was a sudden muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the quiet mountain temple.

Mingke raised his eyebrows excitedly and grinned.

"It's open! Dajili, Dajili City. ”

That muffled sound was indeed the beginning of someone's great fortune, and for the next period of time, there were muffled noises in the temple one after another, and one poor little creature after another fell into the hands of a certain great demon king.

When it got dark, someone humming a little song had several roasted voles on the fire at the same time, and they kept touching out various spice packets from their bodies and adding them to the roasted voles as if by magic.

Small bottles of vinegar, salt, chili paste, shiitake mushroom powder...... One after another, so that Qiao Qiao thought at first that he was not actually going to participate in the academy entrance exam, but was going to go to a picnic.

Smelling the smell of roasted voles one after another, Qiao Qiao swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but ask curiously: "The adults in the town often bring dry food when they go into the mountains and forests, but they don't seem to bring these, why do you bring so many ingredients with you?"

"To eat better. I'm determined to be the man at the top of the food chain! I usually only have a meaning for dry food, and I don't eat it. Oh, by the way, the dry food in your hand,"

Ye Mingke had been staring closely at the roasted vole on the fire and paying attention to the fire, and only then did he raise his head and glance at the dry food that Qiao Qiao was holding like a little squirrel, and reminded him seemingly casually.

"The dry food in your hand was brought by me last month, and I haven't eaten it, and I'm embarrassed to waste it. ”

"Click. The dry food in Qiaoqiao's little hand let out an unbearable moan.

"Oh. Qiao Qiao raised her cold little face, silently turned around, stared intently at the weeds on the ground, and continued to nibble on the hard dry food in her hand one by one.

Even though he was really hungry, smelling such a fragrant smell and biting on the dry food that looked like a stone texture and wood taste, Qiao Qiao really felt so hard and wronged.

"Jojo, don't you really try roasting voles?"

"Fragrant and tender roasted vole!"

Ming Ke on the side was still inducing like a demon who seduced people and fell.

"I don't!" Jojo clutched the small dry food in his hand and resisted weakly.

"The roasted vole with mushroom powder is smooth in the first bite and tender in the second bite. The third bite of the roasted vole that I want to swallow with my tongue!" Ming Ke held the roasted vole high and spun it in a big circle, allowing more fragrance to waft to Qiao Qiao, who was facing away from the fire.

"I don't eat mice!" As if to encourage himself, Jojo raised his head and nodded firmly ahead, muttering to himself. As soon as she finished speaking, a branch with vole meat reached out in front of her, and the fragrance came to her nose, making her drool in a hurry.

"It's not a mouse, it's a vole. Mingke, who was holding a branch, squatted beside her, and quickly stole the dry food from Qiaoqiao's hand, "Don't eat dry food, dry food is not delicious, unhealthy, and you can't eat enough." ”

"Trust me, this meat is delicious. And you see, if you're afraid of rats, I've dealt with them, and you can't tell it's rat meat!"

Mingke shook the branch in his hand and looked at Qiao Qiao sincerely with clear eyes.

Qiao Qiao looked at Ming Ke's bright eyes reflecting the brilliant firelight, and looked at the barbecue on the branch in Ming Ke's hand with some hesitation.

"Like...... I really can't tell that it's the mouse I'm afraid of. And it seems to be really delicious, and he made it himself. Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao raised his right hand unconfidently and slightly, but Minke noticed it, and immediately shoved the branch into her hand, looking at her expectantly.

Qiao Qiao raised the branch, looked into Ming Ke's eyes, tentatively, took a small bite, and bit it gently. Then one small bite, two small bites, one big bite, two big bites, three big mouthfuls...... Qiaoqiao, who had been hungry for a day, unconsciously ate the vole meat on the branch at once, and licked his lips unsatisfied.

Raising his eyes to look at Ming Ke again, Ming Ke's eyes were already smiling like two curved little moons.

"My Uncle Jian said that we have been subjected to a lot of restrictions in this world that are difficult to change, so we should not easily set limits on ourselves, but we should work hard to challenge those restrictions that seem impossible to change. ”

Ye Mingke, who sat back next to the fire, said with a smile to Qiaoqiao, who had also returned to the fire, and then handed over another piece of processed vole meat.

"Eating is really the happiest thing in the world for me. ”

Looking at Qiao Qiao's serious and focused little face who was launching a fierce attack on vole meat, Ming Ke smiled, but his smile was suddenly a little lonely.

"Actually, sometimes, I really envy you who can eat carefree. ”

He whispered to the fire.
