Searching for food through the beast world

sorry bear's paw

Sent away sleep and Dian Dian, it was already around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

The meal at noon was too troublesome, and Ding Xiao didn't have that kind of thought at night.The remaining grilled rice balls and milk fragrant buns were wrapped up for Jue to take back.They only have a little stewed red-necked bird with mushrooms left, and a third jar of stewed meat.

In fact, Ding Xiao wasn't hungry at all, but he knew that if he didn't eat Kun, he would have to eat again, so he ate another meal with him.The barbecue was made by Kun himself. Ding Xiao just ate a few big pieces of the red-necked bird meat, ate two more bites of the barbecue, and then lay down on the animal skin blanket to eat gum toffee. "Kun, you cleaned up that sheep too. It can be smoked on the rack to dry overnight, so don't let it break."

Kun said as he ate, "It's okay, it won't be a problem if you do it again tomorrow. You worked too hard today, so I'll give you a massage."

How attentive! "Your hands are too strong, why don't you take a bath with hot water. Alas, I can only wash with water outside, which is really uncomfortable. It would be great if there were hot springs. Hey, you said it is on the snow mountain, can you How about a hot spring?" If so, it would be very pleasant!

Kun shook his head: "You can't go there. Dangerous places, you must always be vigilant."

"That's right. Never mind, let's do it like this. I'll boil the water for washing feet." After speaking, he got up from the blanket, and dug out a wooden basin that Kunzai had made halfway under the bamboo basket.In fact, the wooden basin is relatively thin, not too heavy, but surprisingly strong.Not only is it completely watertight, but it is also surprisingly insulated.During these days, Ding Xiao let Kun soak his hard-working big feet almost every day.Of course, I will also borrow light.There is also an occasional "foot massage". Although it is really painful sometimes, it is really refreshing!

The days in the safe zone of Qingfeng Village are very pleasant.

Diandian basically comes here every day to stay for a while, but every time he comes, he always brings some small prey, which he caught himself.Every time Ding Xiao receives these prey, he will use different methods to reward them.I feel that since Ding Xiao came, Dian Dian's desire to hunt has obviously increased a lot.

Jue's partner, Jinfeng, and his eldest son have also visited several times.Every time Ding Xiao treats them with local specialties, of course, he unconditionally tells them what these specialty shops are and how to make them delicious.Anyway, these things can't be scooped up by themselves, so it's better to sell favors.I still have to buy things with them.The best animal hide is the most important part of it.

For the people of the Silver Wolf Clan, the warmest animal skin is a fur called black rat.Although the black rat is not big, it is about the same size as the dormouse.But this guy’s skin is thick and soft. The most important thing is that the fluff does not get wet. Even in heavy snow, after wearing it, shake it lightly, and the snow will fall off. Even if it melts after entering the house It won't stick to the fur and get wet, let alone penetrate into the leather.

Since it is a good thing, it is naturally not easy to get.The number of black rats is actually very large, but they all live under the ground.Even if you know where these guys' holes are, but because their holes are very long and deep underneath, and there are many different exits, you can't catch them by digging.The only feasible way is to use smoke, then block all the exits, come out and grab one by one.It’s just that sometimes a nest of black mice has more than 20 exits from their holes, and this kind of fur is not the only one that can survive the winter, and people don’t bother to get them. The key is that the meat is small and hard, so no one likes to eat it.

Although he knew that the black mouse skin was precious, after hearing what Jinfeng said, Kun decided to change some for Xiaoxiao, at least enough to make clothes and pants.And this kind of good fur is rare in Aomori, and the waterproof effect is not available in down jackets and cotton jackets.Of course, the fabric of the down jacket determines everything, but it's a pity that animal skins that are both light, strong and waterproof are rare.

He exchanged a bag of soybeans with the village chief for a pile of black mouse skins enough to make a suit of clothes for Xiaoxiao.These soybeans were originally fried by Ding Xiao as food and vegetables on the road, but he didn't scoop up much, and ate half of them on the road.Now this is less than three catties.But don't worry about eating enough, if you plant the land, a seed is a seedling.The survival rate will definitely grow up in the ground.At that time, one or two looks will be much more than this.

The village head of Qingfeng Village was very happy to get the seeds.Brother Kun and Ding Xiao were happier to get the black mouse skin.

So for the whole four days, Ding Xiao was busy cutting animal skins and sewing clothes.The result is very satisfactory. With Ding Xiao's cutting and splicing method, many pieces of black mouse skin were saved.Ding Xiao made a pair of boots for himself, and also made a pair for Kun.He also used the animal skin from the day before yesterday to make animal skin hats for himself and Kun, and made the bottom and top of the head from the leftovers of the black mouse skin.In this way, it can make the best use of everything and be warm.The most important thing is to take good care of yourself.

Brother Kun is not afraid of the cold.Males are naturally hot, but Ding Xiao is reluctant.It is absolutely unacceptable to enter the snow-capped mountains in one suit.The black mouse skin was gone, and Ding Xiao leopard skin was pieced together with other animal skins to create a rather impressive fur "fashion" for Kun.Although Kun thought it was too fancy, it was much worse than what Xiaoxiao made for herself before.But judging from their attitudes, Xiaoxiao's actions are definitely unstoppable.It really is my partner!

Regarding the matter of going to the snow mountain, because each transaction was successfully completed one by one, Ding Xiao was also looking for food that could be eaten in their safe zone, and told them about the food.There is no reason for the village chief to say no more.Didn't the wise men of the Winged Tiger Clan say that you just run away when you encounter a snow monster, and no one tells you to fight with it.However, the orcs in Yinsha are instinctively afraid of going up the snow mountain.Therefore, besides trusting Kun and Ding Xiao, the person who chooses must have good skills.

Jue is the most suitable candidate.And Jue himself is also happy.Although Jinfeng was quite worried, he didn't say anything.If he finds a magic medicine that can't afford to grow old, it will be a blessing to the world of beasts.Maybe the whole tribe will benefit from this trip to the snow mountain. In any case, he believes that with the mind of a partner, self-protection is definitely possible.

The other two people chosen by the village head had the best relationship with Jue's family.One is Xiao, who is 89 years old, and like Jue is the captain of a patrol team.People are very simple and honest, and their hunting skills are good, so you can definitely rest assured.The other is Jinfeng's youngest brother, [-]-year-old Wei.Even though Wei Wei is only a young male at his age, he is recognized as one of the best among the younger generation.

Kun has no opinion on the candidates the village chief told him.Originally, he didn't know anyone, so it must be arranged by others.Anyway, the village head of Xingxue Mountain wouldn't find someone who can't do anything for himself.In addition to hurting the face of their silver wolf males, they are also afraid of hurting their clansmen.

So Brother Kun's attitude is quite harmonious.Ding Xiao himself has no opinion.Just be more careful about what fuel to bring.He didn't find the black oil fruit, did he want to go up the snow mountain with the wood on his back?This is too unreliable.

Day by day, Ding Xiao and Kun's preparations are progressing little by little.

A lot of people have come to exchange barbecue sauce with them these days, as if they are afraid that they will not come back after going up the snow mountain, which is embarrassing.

Fortunately, the nearby seasonings are relatively easy to collect, plus some I still have in my hand, and if there are two or three missing, I can make up for it with other local things. It is not difficult to make.Especially the curry barbecue sauce, he brought so much snail powder and local top-grade big onions, he is handy in making it.These things were exchanged for a lot of warm animal skins and burning oil.

Jinfeng told Ding Xiao about these oil lumps when he was chatting with him.In their Silver Wolf Clan, in addition to lighting firewood for warmth in winter, people will also put a piece of pine bird oil on the firewood.This way the firewood can burn twice as long.Although there are many pine birds, they will not appear this season.They only appear in this jungle before winter comes, and when winter is over, they will fly back to the side of the snow mountain.It is estimated that this is also the reason why people speculate that there is a forest on the other side of the snow mountain.

Pine bird oil is made by putting the pine bird meat in a pot, because the pine bird is quite big, and one bird can make five or six pieces of oil that can support the combustion overnight.So Ding Xiao can exchange 20 yuan for pine bird oil with this jar of barbecue sauce.In the past few days, he has changed two big bags.Anyway, now that the weather is warmer, the people of the Silver Wolf Clan don't need to light the stove every night to keep warm. The pine bird oil can be obtained in large quantities again in winter, so they are naturally more willing to exchange it with Ding Xiao.For them, 20 yuan of pine bird oil can be exchanged for a jar of delicious barbecue sauce, which is worth it!It's just that for Ding Xiao, it's more worthwhile.

Diandian ran in from the outside this day, and it turned out to be in the shape of a beast.This made Ding Xiao very happy. (--Dog control!)

"Why is it so early today?" Kun just finished his breakfast and went hunting when the little guy came.It usually takes more than an hour to get here.

Diandian waggled his tail excitedly: "Brother, Brother Zhou is back! He said he knew you and Brother Hu, and he wants to invite you to eat bear meat!!!"

After counting the number of days, it has been nearly eighteen days since I and Kun separated from Zhou, right?Wait, after so many days, will the bear stink? ! ! !

When Ding Xiao followed Diandian into Qingfeng Village and saw the "bear" in the open space at the entrance of the village, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Zhou Zao pulled out the bear skin, cut the bear meat into large pieces, and then smoked and dried it into semi-dried meat.Ding Xiao estimated that Zhou must be living on this bear meat these days.It seems to have shrunk quite a bit.Fortunately, Zhou also brought back the bear's bone, which is also a very good medicinal material.A good thing that can dispel rheumatism.

Zhou was also very happy to see Ding Xiao.Hearing from the villagers that the two wise men of the Yihu tribe lived in the cave in the safe area, Zhou immediately asked Xiaodian to invite them.Having said that, he is also very much looking forward to the taste of the bear meat made by the wise man.I have been roasting and roasting these days.Ever since he ate the food made by Ding Xiao, he has despised his own craftsmanship.

Ding Xiao searched around the pile of meat and bones for a long time, but he didn't find what he was looking for at all.So he asked, "Where is the bear's paw?"

Zhou looked at Ding Xiao in surprise: "It's here!" So he dug out a pair of bear claws hidden in the pile of bones.It's just that Li Jia has only one finger.

Ding Xiao was dumbfounded immediately: "Where's the meat? Where's the skin??!!!"

Zhou replied: "The skin is on the other side, the meat has been eaten."

Ding Xiao was speechless for a moment.Well, it was my own fault.It was because I didn't tell him that I wanted to be a bear's paw.It's because I didn't think that the bear's paws might stink or be swallowed in the past 20 days.But what's the matter with this strong psychological gap?I want to be a bear's paw! ! !I also want to taste the taste of bear's paw!
