Chapter 4 Food

Water source and shelter are solved, the remaining problem is food.

"Grumble."

Wei Ming looked at Tan Changxing's stomach, held back a smile and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hmm..." Tan Changxing admitted embarrassingly.

After building the foundation, there is no need for mortal food to replenish energy. The small world of aura in the dantian is enough to support the body's expenses. Now that he is living on the former dust island, the bone age has restarted, and the distress of mortals will follow.

Wei Ming himself was also hungry, so he put his long sword on his back and said, "Let's go hunting." The young master of Suiyu Villa knows some kung fu, although he has never practiced it, it should be no problem to catch a few rabbits.

But they are naive... There are no small animals such as rabbits and roe deer on the island. Big butterflies, arm-long centipedes.They don't have the memory of immortality, so they can't recognize these animals. If a monk with memory is brought in, he will definitely shout that this is a magnificent sight of rare animals. , Take out any one, it is a treasure that the cultivation world is fighting for.

Holding a long sword in his hand, Wei Ming was fascinated by the glitter on the butterfly's wings. He rubbed his eyes, opened them again, and saw a huge white cocoon room.Tan Changxing was terrified, and whispered, "There can't be a butterfly in that cocoon."

Wei Ming felt apprehensive, the cocoon room was about one person tall, if a butterfly broke out of the cocoon, its wings would be twenty feet wide.He looked around, trying to find a way out. Under the tree in the distance, five palm-sized butterflies covered a strange thing, just blocking the path.Wei Ming took Tan Changxing and carefully moved towards the path, and walked to the place where the butterflies gathered, startled and fluttered, glittering powder sprinkled on the ground like snowflakes.Wei Ming took a closer look, and found that the strange mass covered by the butterfly was a young winged tiger, which seemed to be dying. There were five holes in its fur, which looked like a butterfly's mouthparts had pierced it.

Both of them are teenagers at heart, so they naturally like small fluffy animals. Wei Ming bent down and picked up the Maverick and ran wildly, running to the other side of the mountain in one breath.Due to the characteristics of the former dust island, these rare creatures did not evolve their minds, and the butterflies allowed them to steal the food.Wei Ming and Tan Changxing stopped. Wei Ming looked at the weak white tiger in his arms, fiddled with the small wings on the white tiger's shoulder blades, and said with a sad face, "Oh, there is another mouth."

They can feed themselves enough, let alone raise a tiger cub.Tan Changxing didn't reply, he lowered his// body, and jumped out suddenly, his speed was extremely fast, and under the acceleration//his figure was hard to distinguish, only heard a tragic cock crow, and Tan Changxing's cheerful voice came: "Wei Moe, look what I caught!"

Wei Ming hugged the little tiger and looked forward. Tan Changxing walked over holding a gaudy pheasant with both hands. The pheasant dragged its seven long tail feathers. It was red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, sparkling in the sun. .Wei Ming sighed: "What a beautiful chicken." If there were monks around, they would be overwhelmed with anger, what kind of chicken, it's a marigold rainbow finch.

Tan Changxing tightly grasped the root of the pheasant's wing, weighed it, and it was quite heavy: "It's enough for the two of us, and I can save some for the little tiger."

"Okay." Wei Ming praised without hesitation, "Changxing is so powerful."

The little prince who was praised held his head high and proudly said, "Of course."

The two planned to go back to the stone house on the top of the mountain from the other side, picking some wild fruits along the way.They don't know the animals on the island, and they still don't know the plants on the island.The tree with heart-shaped leaves on the side of the road has blue fruit hanging on the branch, which smells very sweet. Wei Ming picked one and wiped it with his sleeve, but he dared not eat it.

"It smells good." Tan Changxing said, and the pheasant hung its head limply, accepting its tragic fate.

Wei Wei held the fruit and hesitated for a moment, the little tiger in his arms moved his nose, closed his eyes and lifted his paws to explore the blue fruit.Wei Ming put the fruit between the little tiger's paws, the little tiger opened its mouth and ate the fruit in three or two mouthfuls. The five holes on its body stopped bleeding. It opened its eyes, and the blue-green eyes stared straight at Wei Ming. It is doubt.

Wei Ming used to have a little black dog as a pet, and he loved to look at him with tilted head and dark eyes. The appearance of the little tiger fit seven points with the little black dog.Wei Ming was softened by the little tiger's look, and raised his hand to rub the little tiger's head.

"The blue fruit is edible." Wei Ming said, he picked a blue fruit and put it in his mouth, the sweet juice, thick flesh, very delicious, he picked another one and handed it to Tan Changxing, "You Try it."

The little tiger flopped in Wei Ming's arms, as if it was about to come down, Wei Ming put it on the ground and let him go.Who knew that the little tiger circled around him a few times, didn't go away, stretched the little wings on its back, and followed behind Wei Ming.

With the aborigine Little Tiger accompanying them all the way, there was a guide for which fruits could be eaten and which ones could not. Wei Ming and Tan Changxing picked fruits and picked wild vegetables all the way, and brought them back in tattered coats.

The robes on the two of them were tattered, and it was no longer suitable to wear them again. Taking off the outer robes, revealing the white inner lining, solved the more urgent matter that the two of them realized—clothes.

It was important to eat, so Wei Ming and Tan Changxing didn't care about the dirty and torn clothes, so they put them on to deal with pheasants and wild fruits.Tan Changxing strangled the pheasant to death, and asked hesitantly, "Should we scald the pheasant with hot water and pluck the hair?"

"...Should I?" Wei Ming also didn't know, he fetched a bucket of water, and out of a clean nature, he cut a wooden basin with a long sword, poured water into the basin, and asked, "Do you know how to light a fire?" ?"

Tan Changxing shook his head honestly: "No."

If there is no fire, there will be no cooked food, and if you don’t eat cooked food, you will get sick. Wei Ming said: "I read in the book that two stones can make a fire when they collide?"

"I'll find some dry firewood first." Tan Changxing said, he picked up some branches and dry leaves on the ground and gathered them into a pile.

Zhen Ming randomly found two stones and hit them a few times, not to mention sparks, not even the slag fell off.He frowned, pulled out the long sword on his back and put it on the ground, it seemed that he was going to compete with the skill of lighting a stone to the end.The long sword was placed on the ground, just hit the stone, and three sparks fell out.

Wei Wei looked at the long sword in a daze, thinking that starting a fire would not be so simple.

The Seven Star Longyuan Sword is too difficult, even for the sake of the master, he has learned how to make fire.

Wei Ming picked up the long sword and walked to the side of the pile of branches, hit the blade with a stone, sparks fell on the dry leaves, and ignited a small flame.Tan Changxing cheered: "We are on fire!"

Wei Ming laughed happily and said, "Let's use stones to set up a hearth, and put a wooden basin on it to boil water."

Tan Changxing put two wooden stakes on both sides of the fire, just enough to put the wooden basin on top, the fire gradually rose, burning the bottom of the basin, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the water boiled and boiled.Wei Ming put the water basin on the ground and threw the pheasant carcass into the water basin. The fishy smell filled the air, and the cubs lying on the sidelines excitedly spread their wings and flapped their wings.

Unskilled in plucking the hair, cut the pheasant into five pieces with a long sword, put them on sharpened branches, and baked them on the fire. There is no seasoning, but the two who have been hungry for a long time think it is very delicious.

The little tiger got close to the fire, and Wei Ming pushed it away, for fear that the flames would burn its beard.

Tan Changxing stared at the meat skewers closely, and asked, "Is it cooked?"

"Unripe, still bloodshot." Wei Ming said.

The two sat side by side, waiting for the barbecue to come out.After a while, the dripping oil gradually decreased, and there was no continuous sizzling sound. Wei Ming reckoned that the meat was done roasting, so he handed Tan Changxing a skewer, picked up a skewer and put it beside him, and ate a skewer himself. .Seeing that there was no place for it, the little tiger turned around and walked away, as if angry.

It's not that Wei Ming didn't want to give it to the little tiger, he wanted to let the meat cool before giving it to it, so as not to burn it, but who knew that the little tiger was so angry, he ran into the woods and disappeared without a trace.

Tan Changxing was so absorbed in eating meat that he didn't care about the little tiger's affairs.Wei Ming sighed, took a bite of the chicken, and couldn't taste it.

After a while, the sound of dragging things was heard in the woods. Wei Ming turned his head, and the little tiger dragged a long snake beside him, looking longingly at the warm barbecue on the stake.

Meaning presumably barter?Wei Ming picked up the meat skewers and put them on the bluestone slabs. The little tiger held the barbecue meat with its paws and ate it, apparently very hungry.Wei Ming glanced at the snake corpse, it was not long, about an arm long, just right for a piece of barbecued meat.

Wei Ming's mood changed from cloudy to sunny, and he ate the barbecue happily, feeling that the chicken was very fragrant.
