my mountain and river space

Chapter 167

Cool heart is also fickle, thank you for the reward.Thank you friends who recommended and clicked to support.

Coming down from the boulder, Xu Ling walked a hundred meters forward and saw the wooden house left by the old hunter and the herb picker, which was in the shade of a small hill.Pushing open the wooden door tied with iron wires, I found that the ground inside was already covered with a thick layer of dust.A simple small bed nailed with wood is also full of dust, and there are two tables and stools made of short tree stumps.

Xu Ling took out a bucket of water and a rag from the space to clean it up, otherwise it would be inconvenient to cook.After doing these things well, the sun is already setting and the tired birds are returning to their nests.Occasionally, Xu Ling can see squirrels picking fruit on the small pine and fir trees outside, and many pheasants also fly here from other places, not sure whether they are looking for food or settling down.

After setting up a pot in the original stove built with a few stones, and picking up some firewood, Xu Ling wanted to cook a better meal at night, so he took out fruit from the space and ate it to fill his stomach, while getting busy.

When the fire was made to boil water and wanted to make fish soup, Xu Ling suddenly felt that the pheasants caught just now were good, and it was perfectly fine to make a beggar chicken.There are some natural spices nearby, and star anise, cinnamon bark, and bay leaves are also complete in the space.Besides, make some mud by the lake, and stuff some newly picked red mushrooms and space chicken fir into the chicken belly. The taste makes Xu Ling's mouth full when he thinks of it, and his stomach feels even more uncomfortable.

"It's not that simple to eat, let's do it step by step." Xu Ling first cleaned the chicken fir and red mushrooms in the space, and then threw them into the boiling water to cook until cooked, picked them up and let them cool.Change the water again, put in the golden and red fish caught in the stream, and then put in the boneless fine scale fish in the reservoir, and put half of the chicken fir and russula that have just been cooked ,more than ten!Add more wood to let it burn by itself, stand up and walk to the nearby pine and fir forest to see if you can catch the pheasant you just saw.

Xu Ling's mental power was released, but unfortunately he didn't find it within 20 meters. Instead, there were two Zhuyeqing catching small bugs in the thorn bushes.

"It seems that these guys are really timid and dare not approach the path." Xu Ling smiled wryly.It’s no wonder that some hunters passed by here a few years ago to rest, and when they saw pheasants, they would kill them in order to save dry food.They don't have Xu Ling's ability to get them into the space. They all use guns or crossbows. Can they not be scared away by shooting again and again, not to mention that it is a blunderbuss. The world is flying around, and everyone in the range will be hit. Even if they don't hit it, the sound is enough to scare them away from approaching the path. Large animals will be frightened and run away when they hear it.

But when Xu Ling was about to turn around, thorn bushes rustled more than [-] meters away, and there was a constant "cuckling" sound, which could be heard as the crowing of pheasants, and it seemed that there were quite a few.

Xu Ling found a place where people could leave a little bit and moved forward slowly.You can't cut the thorns, and you can't make too much noise, otherwise these alert creatures will have to run away at the slightest movement.

When he got close to the range of 20 meters, Xu Ling's spirit finally sensed that it was a pheasant, also called a pheasant.And there are not many, it is a family-like population, three male pheasants, because its forehead and the base of the upper bill are black, rich in blue-green luster.The top of the head is brown, the eyebrow lines are white, and the bare skin around the eyes is crimson.Above the bare skin behind the eyes, there is a small piece of blue-black short feathers under the white eyebrow lines. The neck is mainly blue-green, but the back and shoulders are red. The color is very bright. It is used to court the female during the breeding season. .On the contrary, the female bird looks petite, and the feather color is not as gorgeous as the male bird. The top of the head and the nape of the neck are brownish-white, the shoulders and back are chestnut, and the abdomen is sandy yellow.The color of the female bird is most suitable for survival in roadside grass and thorn forests, and the feathers are the closest to their color, which is a natural protective color when escaping.

"These pheasants are beautiful in appearance, the chicken is firm and tender, delicious and nutritious. They grow fast and have strong disease resistance. They are good. Seven of them. If you can't eat them, you can definitely expand the population." Xu Ling was also happy. , with a smile on his face.The mental power enveloped them, and with a sudden movement, they all entered the space.

Since there was not much movement, there was no scene that would startle a flock of birds.Xu Ling glanced around, but he didn't send any more pheasants. Several squirrels stared at Xu Ling warily on the pine trees. There were many beautiful squirrels in the space, so Xu Ling simply caught a few and let them become one. population.

No matter if it was a pheasant or a squirrel, they were frightened when they entered the space. The squirrels climbed up from the ground as soon as they came in, and one by one, they lay tightly on the branches of the tree tops without moving, their eyes It was spinning around, its ears and tail were raised, and it was very alert!The pheasant was not much better. When it appeared in the woods on the mountain, it immediately scattered and ran away, cooing all the way. With the gorgeous feathers, it really looked like a rainbow.After a while, he hid in the woods and disappeared.

Seeing this, Xu Ling thought it was funny, shook his head, and started to walk back.I believe that the fish soup has been opened, and then put some seasoning.It takes at least half an hour for the beggar chicken to be fully cooked. During this period, the fish soup just becomes warm and comfortable.

Xu Ling caught two pheasants, he didn't want to deal with them in the space, so he took out a bucket of water, scalded and plucked the hairs with the water that had just been treated with wild fungi, took out the wet mud after handling the internal organs, and put the remaining red mushrooms first Put two pheasants' stomachs with chicken fir, sprinkle with salt, and add spice juice, even now Xu Ling can smell a refreshing fragrance.You can no longer touch the salt on the outside of the pheasant, but you can sprinkle the spice juice.Then put mud on it and bury it in the fire. It is enough to cover the soil. One finger thick is the best. Then put firewood on it and burn it for half an hour. After that, Xuling no longer adds firewood and let it slowly Just turn it off.

Remove the firewood, and when Xu Ling dug out the roasted pheasant, the sun had already set in the west, and the North Star shone out from the sky, dazzling and bright in the vast night sky!
Knock open the outer layer of soil that has already dried up, and just when the gap is exposed, an intoxicating fragrance comes out, not only the freshness and tenderness of wild pheasant, but also the aroma of wild mushrooms in the stomach.

"Smells, really smells!", Xu Ling picked up the pheasant that had been cleaned, and then fish soup, kicked the soil next to it a few times to cover the burnt coals, and entered the wooden house.Even if the fire in the field has been extinguished, it is better to cover it with soil. It doesn't matter. Maybe when the wind blows away, it will be a disaster if it falls into the woods.

In order not to be disturbed by the smell of animals outside, Xu Ling closed the door and entered the space to eat, and entered the custom-made wooden room, with tables, stools, and plates, it is simply a miniature version of the house, or a fighter in the house !
"That's right, the meat of this pheasant leg is tender and tender, and the whole body of meat is also delicious. Oh, absolutely, this fish soup is so delicious!" Xu Ling was amazed as he ate it. The small golden red fish and wild mushrooms turned out to be so delicious. Later, Xu Ling simply held the cauldron in one hand and a pheasant in the other, and took a bite and a drink, as if he was reincarnated from starvation.

After the fish soup was finished, two pheasants also went into Xu Ling's stomach, "Uh", Xu Ling burped while touching his bulging stomach, with a smile on his face, full of satisfaction.He stood up from the chair, stretched his waist, and then cleaned up the bones on the table out of the space, ready to throw them outside.

As soon as Xu Ling walked outside, he heard waves of wolf howls not far from the ridge, "Oh woo", long and cold, in Xu Ling's ears, his body couldn't help shivering.

"Come out to hunt so early, you must have found some prey." Xu Ling went outside and looked up at the halfway below the ridge, and said to himself with a little frown.

Pour the bones on the ground and bury them, so that the smell will not spread too far, and prevent things like wolves from running. Xu Ling is not afraid, but if you get up early in the morning and surround yourself with a group of people, it is not a problem.

Xu Ling entered the wooden house and was about to close the wooden door, when suddenly he heard a loud cry, and the howling of wolves was louder and louder, like two armies fighting, one side blowing the attack horn.

Xu Ling shook his head, trying to get rid of the dreamlike voice he heard from his mind. After all, this was a barren mountain. Who would come here after eating and having nothing to do at night?

But just when Xu Ling thought the voice he heard was a fantasy, a woman wearing a straw hat and high leather shoes was surrounded by more than a dozen wild wolves halfway up the ridge, and one was obviously stronger than the others. The wolves howled to the sky not far away, as if telling the pack of wolves to attack and hunt quickly.
