After a short rest, it was evening.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Xiao Han was dragged and staggered up to find the campsite.
"It was good there just now, why do we need to change places?" Xiao Han grabbed Xiaodong with both hands and said to Daniel full of complaints.
Daniel chuckled in front, then turned back and said: "Master Marquis, we couldn't build a camp there just now. There is no water source, and the ground is uneven! The most important thing is that in that kind of forest, there will be a lot of snakes and insects!"
"What? There are worms?" When Xiao Han heard what the idiot said, he immediately took a breath and felt goosebumps all over his body! Ever since he was little, this is what he hated the most! I can't say I'm scared, but I feel scared when I see it.
Looking around subconsciously, Xiao Han stopped dragging Xiaodong and quickly squeezed into the middle of the crowd: "Then let's change to a better place quickly..."
With one sentence, he calmed down the most procrastinating person in the team, and Daniel's speed obviously became faster.
I don’t know what he relied on to find the direction. Anyway, he turned left and right, and finally found a clearing in the forest!
After walking around the small open space, Daniel nodded with satisfaction.
Perfect size and no weeds! In this way, there will be fewer insects and ants, and another advantage is that if you light a fire here, you won't be afraid of igniting other things.
What's even better is that there is a small clear spring not far from the clearing. Just looking at the paw prints around it, you can tell that the water quality of this spring should be very good!
Stamping the soft ground under his feet, Daniel unloaded the medicine basket on his back, and then waved to Xiao Han and the others: "Okay! No more searching, we will choose to stay here tonight!"
"Hey, I can finally take a rest! I'm so exhausted!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Han immediately sat down on the ground. Who cares about whether it is clean or not?
Xiao Han sat on the ground motionless, but everyone else took advantage of the fact that it was still dark and took the time to get busy.
Those who collect firewood collect firewood, and those who go to the spring to collect water receive water. Even Sun Simiao stood up and spread realgar around the clearing. The strong smell, let alone insects and ants, made even Xiao Han unable to stay any longer! He quickly jumped to the side and looked eagerly at the place where Sun Simiao sprinkled the realgar.
Even if he didn't learn chemistry well in junior high school, Xiao Han also knew that realgar turns into highly toxic arsenic when heated! Sun Simiao is now scattering them everywhere. If they are picked up by some idiot who is collecting firewood, it will be great fun!
Fortunately, the idiot was not stupid enough to pick up the realgar firewood. There were many dead branches and leaves under the trees over there, so he was too lazy to pick up the grass that was not high on the ground.
The bonfire was lit and the hanging pot was set up. It gets dark earlier in the forest than outside, and that's because of the trees. Not even the moonlight can shine in! In the pitch-black night, only the dancing light of fire can give people a sense of security.
Sitting in front of the fire, there are tired birds flying back to the forest overhead, flapping their wings and making all kinds of strange sounds. When you look up, you can't see anything.
And the howling of wolves deep in the jungle seemed to be ringing in my ears. The environment was like filming a horror movie, which made Xiao Han feel a little chilly. He could only lean closer to the fire, as if this way, when the beast came, he could catch others first and let him go.
In front of the fire, the idiot was holding a branch and concentrating on the barbecue. Feeling that someone was squeezing over from next to me, I quickly grabbed the branch and said, "Oh, who is it? Don't push me. If you push me too much, I will be pushed into the fire!"
"Hahahaha, it's better to fall into the fire! Didn't you just hate the cold? Wouldn't it be warm if you fell in?" Xiaodong said to the idiot half-jokingly, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the others! For a time, even the terrifying atmosphere became harmonious, and the smile was indeed the most contagious!
He took a meat skewer and grilled it next to the campfire. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long, the meat was not yet cooked, and the stick was about to burn. Xiaodong saw it and quickly gave Xiao Han his meat skewers, while he took his and grilled them carefully.
Xiao Han and Xiaodong have nothing to be polite about. Besides, there is no shame in not knowing how to barbecue, as long as they can eat barbecue in the end!
Xiaodong's barbecue skills are very good. The fat and thin pieces of meat are sizzling with oil, and there are no charred spots at all. It is appetizing just looking at it.
He held the piece of meat and roasted it for a while. After Xiaodong told Xiao Han that the meat was done, he carefully sprinkled green salt on it, put it under his nose and took a deep breath. The alluring aroma of barbecue rushed straight into his heart. !
"I won't wait for you! I want to eat first!" He held up the meat and gestured to the others. Xiao Han opened his mouth wide and took a bite!
"Ouch, it's hot...it's burning me to death!" I never expected that the meat's flavor would not come out, but it would actually be very hot! Xiao Han bit the meat with his two teeth and vomited without giving up, exhaling continuously from his mouth!
"Hahaha……"
At this time, there is no need to worry about the identity of Marquis Xiao Han! Tears of laughter fell from every one of them, and they nearly fell into the fire.
"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you, there are still plenty here!" Sun Simiao couldn't help but grinned at Xiao Han, and handed over the roasted meat in his hand.
Good luck tonight! Unexpectedly, Jiayi waited in ambush by the spring for a while and actually shot a deer! If it weren't for the rabbit that Xiaoqi caught, no matter how fat it was, it wouldn't have so much meat.
When A carried the deer back, Xiao Han didn't recognize it yet. But when Sun Simiao happily squeezed out a round thing from its belly.
Xiao Han suddenly remembered that the deer seemed to have a name, it seemed to be Yuan She! Isn’t that round thing a very precious medicinal material, musk?
No wonder the old man's mood suddenly improved now. No wonder he was unhappy when he suddenly got such a big piece of musk! You must know that the original musk deer itself is a very rare animal, and the male musk deer will bite open the musk sac before dying! Musk is difficult to obtain if it is not fatal in one fell swoop.
Musk is a very useful medicinal material. Once it gets into Sun Simiao's hands, there is basically no need to think about getting it out.
But this musk meat tastes quite good, just like the venison I ate before, very delicious!
After eating two large pieces of meat in a row, Xiao Han couldn't help but burped. It’s so fragrant that I didn’t bring any cloves of garlic before I came. I really couldn’t eat the meat!
Pushing away the meat that was kindly offered by others, Xiao Han thought for a moment, took out the honeycomb from one side, and began to dig out the bee pupae to roast and eat.
As we all know, the best way to cook bee pupae is to fry them! But deep in this forest, where can we find so much oil? So Xiao Han could only settle for the second best and try to bake them.
Cicada pupae are very troublesome to roast, and they will explode if you are not careful! There are not many bee pupae in a honeycomb itself, plus the ones that exploded, the final product is only a small bowl.
Sun Simiao didn't want to eat this, but Xiaodong Daniu didn't have so many scruples, and threw them into his mouth one after another with such joy that Xiao Han didn't even eat enough.
When everyone had almost eaten, a full pot of water in the hanging pot was boiled.
Daniel called to Lunzi and together they took down the hanging pot and put it aside, ready to let it cool down and fill it with water bags for them to drink tomorrow.
No one drinks cold water here, even if the water is clean mountain spring water! After all, no one will have the courage to drink them after looking at live bugs in cold water under a microscope.
