It turns out that there may not be a rabbit stupid enough to hit the tree, but there will be other animals stupid enough to hit the tree and die.
For example, a lamb.
Vigil is extremely boring, especially during the time when darkness and light meet. The sky had just been dimly lit, half dark, half light, intertwined and turned into dim, even the sky was dim, let alone people who dared not sleep.
Chen Shi was in charge of guarding the second half of the night. No one talked to him and he himself didn't sleep enough. During the vigil, he was in a state of half-dreaming, half-awake and half-dozing. When it was approaching dawn, the whole person had completely closed his eyes and fell asleep, belonging to the kind of very unreliable night watchman.
In fact, let alone Chen Shi, even people like Jiang Feng who don't need to sleep feel a little bored, sitting on the stone in a daze.
"bump."
A loud noise not only made Jiang Feng jump up from the ground, but even the sleeping Xia Muchen was startled, opened his eyes and looked around, looking around vigilantly.
The most exaggerated is Chen Shi, who jumped up and shouted: "There are wolves, there are wolves!"
After shouted, he realized that there were no wolves around at all. Chen Shi stood there with a bewildered expression, licking his mouth with pleasure or regret: "So there are no wolves."
Xia Mucheng grabbed the knife that fell on the ground and got up from the ground: "You should be glad that there are no wolves. Do you think the two of us still beat the wolves now?"
"What's that? So loud, it won't always be thunder." Chen Shi wondered.
Xia Muxiang pointed to the edge of the tree stump. Jiang Feng and Chen Shi only noticed that there was a lamb lying on the side of the tree stump that had been killed or fainted.
It's true to wait for the rabbit!
It’s not a rabbit or a sheep waiting!
Don't talk about Chen Shi, even Jiang Feng was shocked. What kind of luck was needed to make a sheep hit and die by his side.
is really a little lamb, a little goat, it doesn’t even look like the hair is even, I don’t know why it escaped from the flock and ran into this forest, and it happened to be killed by Xia Mucheng and Chen Shi.
Chen Shi is already full of sheep, if it weren't for a bit of reason, he would like to hold this sheep and start chewing.
Chen Shi rubbed his hands excitedly, turned his head and asked Xia Mucheng: "Brother Xia, you are a butcher, or kill this lamb now and let's roast it."
Xia Musheng:...
Now they can only eat roast lamb. Chen Shi and Xia Mucheng don’t have any cooking props. Even if they want to eat fried lamb and stew, they don’t have that condition. The two of them only had a knife, and they didn't even have a pot to boil hot water. The clever woman couldn't cook without rice, and Xia Mucheng could only take the sheep to the river and kill it first.
After slaughtering the sheep, Xia Musheng buried all the internal organs and blood in the soil to cover the smell of blood, so as not to attract other ferocious predators.
The sheep are handled cleanly, and Xia Mucheng faces another problem.
There is no seasoning.
To be precise, there are no seasonings, not even salt.
As we all know, sheep is a very difficult food material with heavy taint. Generally speaking, southern sheep have a heavier smell than northern ones, and wild sheep must have a heavier taint than farmed sheep. Even though this sheep is just a small lamb now, it does not belong to any adult sheep in terms of smell.
Xia Musheng decided to find some spices.
"You first go find a longer piece of wood and string it together, and then build a fire again. I will pick something and come back soon." Xia Mu said.
Chen Shi followed Xia Muchen's words to find a piece of wood. After searching for a circle, he didn't find a suitable one and cut a piece with the knife Xia Muchen left him. Although the knife is not a machete specially used for chopping wood and trees, it is sharp enough and can be seen to cut some fine wood with more effort.
When Chen Shi set up the fire again, Xia Muchen returned with the things he picked.
Xia Muping picked a lot of cornel leaves.
It may be because of the favorable climate. There are many cornels in this forest. Cornel is a good thing that can be used as medicine or as a seasoning, and it can be eaten directly as a fruit, which is a bit sour. It's a pity that the season is wrong. The fruit of the cornel only matures in September and October. Even if there are cornel bushes all over the mountains and plains, there is no cornel fruit.
When Chen Shi was so hungry that he couldn't stand it yesterday afternoon, he even picked two pieces of cornel leaves and chewed them. The taste was so suffocating that he now saw the cornel leaves with a psychological shadow.
"Brother Xia, why are you picking so many cornel leaves?" Chen Shi thought Xia Muchen picked these leaves to eat, "This thing has a strange smell than leaves."
Xia Mu said nothing, made many cuts in the sheep with a knife, and silently crushed all the leaves he had picked, and evenly smeared them on the surface of the sheep and the cutting edge. Maybe he wanted to use these to smash them. The leaves are used as a pickling sauce.
Chen Shi didn't understand what Xia Mucheng was doing, but inexplicably thought that Xia Mucheng looked professional, and obediently watched him by the side. After the smearing of the crushed leaves of Xia Mutan, Chen Shi helped to put the lamb on the fire, like a picnic, except that he wanted to roast the whole lamb.
The conditions are very simple, Xia Mucheng tried to control the heat, slowly rotating the stick, moving the stick, and slowly roasting.
Roasting whole lamb is a long process. For people like Xia Mucheng and Chen Shi who have not eaten for two days and have been on the road, the waiting process is particularly long. Gradually, the fragrance of meat radiated from the sheep and filled the air.
This kind of meaty smell mixed with a wonderful smell made Chen Shi almost confiscated the saliva that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth.
You can tell from his expression, Jiang Feng, what Chen Shi wants to do most now is to rush up and hug the sheep for a big bite.
As an ordinary person who can’t afford to eat, Chen Shi has many brothers and sisters from poor families in the war years. The fact of meat.
"Brother Xia, are you okay? I think it should be okay, let's eat some!" Chen Shi's eyes were full of desire for meat.
"hold on."
Chen Shi patiently waited for almost five or six minutes.
"Brother Xia, now you can..."
"hold on."
Another few minutes passed.
"Brother Xia, now..."
"and many more."
"Summer..."
"Wait!"
Under Chen Shi's crazy urging, Xia Mucheng still adhered to the basic ethics of a chef-roasting the meat, completely ignoring Chen Shi's words, and grilling himself.
Finally, the lamb is cooked.
Not pretty.
This is definitely not a beautiful roasted whole lamb.
The leaves that are used as spices on the surface have been completely dried and turned black. The original appearance cannot be seen, and they will disappear from the sheep if they are dusted by hand. There is no sauce, no seasonings, or even cumin. The only advantage is probably that it is lamb and is roasted.
Such a roasted whole lamb, which is sold in the Quanyang Restaurant, may make the guests angry and set the table up. It has become a life-saving straw for Xia Mucheng and Chen Shi.
Xia Muchen began to cut meat, one for each leg of lamb.
The two chewed, their mouths are full of meat, their bodies are in tatters, and their faces are full of happiness.
While eating, Chen Shi suddenly cried while holding half of a leg of lamb.
whimpered, tears gushing out like a fountain, and his words were vague because there was still lamb in his mouth that he hadn't finished chewing and swallowing.
This is the first time Chen Shi has cried in these two days.
He is the kind of person who looks fragile and timid and afraid of death, but in fact he is very courageous, even if he is about to die, he wants to struggle to see if he can survive.
Previously tired and thirsty, she was lost and couldn't find her way. When there was no hope, Chen Shi didn't cry. Now Chen Shi cried after eating the cooked mutton.
"Woo, Brother Xia, your roasted lamb is really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious lamb. No, I have never eaten lamb before. I don't know how delicious lamb is." Chen Shi himself didn't know what he wanted to say.
"I thought we were dead, and now I also think we are dead, but I think this is also good, at least I have eaten a full meal. I heard that some people can eat even if they die. Meat, if we eat so much now, even if we hit the road, it should not be so miserable. At least our decapitation meal is richer than them."
Xia Musheng:...
Xia Mucheng silently put down the leg of lamb in his hand, feeling that suddenly he didn't want to eat that much.
"Have you eaten? Let's go when you eat."
Xia Mucheng cut the remaining mutton into large pieces, and let Chen Shi stuff it into the cloth bag. The cloth bag was so full that it could not be wrapped.
The leg of lamb in the hands of the two of them hadn't finished eating. They were walking and eating, and even the steps they took were much larger than yesterday.
This walk is another whole day.
The sky gradually darkened.
Jiang Feng didn't know if it was his hallucination. He felt that this piece of wood was much sparser than the one Xia Mucheng took in the morning, and the light was much better.
Xia Mucheng and Chen Shi are going to find a place to rest first.
Just when Xia Mucheng planned a place and was about to set up a bonfire for Chen Shi to find the water source like the previous two days, Chen Shi suddenly looked into the distance and silently stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
"Brother Xia, is the forest in front on fire? Why do I feel as if I see smoke." Chen Shi thought he was wrong.
Xia Muchen glanced in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly became excited: "What is on fire, that is cooking smoke! Let's come out, hurry up, there is a village ahead."
Chen Shi, who had already sat down to rest, quickly stood up and started to run. He stopped, looked back at Xia Mucheng, silently opened the cloth bag and took out two pieces of mutton that had been frozen hard.
"Brother Xia, let's have a piece of meat to celebrate." Chen Shi grinned and smiled.
Xia Musheng:?
Before Xia Musheng could understand what Chen Shi was doing, Chen Shi happily took a bite of the lamb, did not bite, and took another bite hard. It took the boss's energy to bite off a little bit of meat happily. Chew it up.
"Brother Xia is waiting to go out. Let's divide the meat. I want to take the meat back to my parents to taste."
"Let me tell you, I think it must be this meat that is blessing us. This meat is amazing. I felt it when I ate this morning. When the meat is finished, I will give the bones. It must be this package of meat to bless us. Come out." Chen Shi said cheerfully.
Xia Musheng:...
Xia Mucheng silently took the meat from Chen Shi, and took a bite hard as he learned.
"Well, let's go."
Jiang Feng wanted to keep up, but found that he was already in the fog.
The silhouettes of the two people gradually blurred until they could not see clearly.
Jiang Feng left the memory.
