Shen Lianqing was pulled around by him. There was a cave nearby. The terrain was not high. The cave was shallow and had no effect of blocking the cold wind. There were basically no animals nesting here.
However, due to its leeward slope and a stone stand next to it, in winter, there are occasionally talented people who are bold enough to come here to hunt and dig wild vegetables, and they will have their meals here at noon.
Ji Mao broke off a branch, took out a fire stick from his chest, blew lightly to light the branches piled on the ground, took out a stone bowl from his backpack, dug up a handful of snow next to the snow, put it in the bowl and boiled the water.
He seems to often live in the wild and can quickly get everything locally. Shen Lianqing feels that the bowl in Ji Mao's hand may have been brought with him just to make things easier for her.
The rabbit was chopped off by him with a clean and neat technique, without blinking. A sharpened branch passed through the rabbit with fur and skin, and he put the headless rabbit on the firewood.
Shen Lianqing looked at him with disgust and complained, "Can this... be eaten?"
Ji Mao nodded, "Fire hair removal is very clean."
Shen Lianqing was doubtful. When he saw him take out some cumin spices from his backpack and sprinkle it on the rabbit, Shen Lianqing suddenly remembered that Ji Mao said he couldn't catch squirrels without tools. Why was the bird in his hand so different? How did he catch the rabbit? He also brought these ingredients, as if he had already planned it.
"Ji Mao!"
Ji Mao used the knife he brought to peel off a layer of fur from the rabbit. After a simple cleaning, he spread the spices evenly on the rabbit meat. After completing a series of actions, he looked at her sideways and said, "What's wrong? Sister-in-law?" Do you want the rabbit’s front legs or its hind legs?”
The barbecue rabbit exuded a burst of fragrance in his hands. Shen Lianqing's eyes fell on the rabbit legs that were getting golden and burnt. Tears almost flowed from the corners of her mouth. She blurted out, "Hind legs."
I heard that rabbits walk on their hind legs, which are not only strong and powerful but also very plump.
"Okay." Ji Mao turned the rabbit over, smeared the bird with spices, wrapped it with almost withered leaves that he found from somewhere, and put it in the charcoal fire to roast it.
no!
Shen Lianqing was a little short of breath. She asked him why he didn't help her hunt squirrels, but how could he get rid of her with just one sentence?
She was unwilling to shout again, "Ji Mao!"
"Um."
Ji Maung cut off a rabbit leg with a knife, wrapped it in leaves and handed it to Shen Lianqing, "Be careful of burning it."
Shen Lianqing held a rabbit leg in both hands, and stared at it with a pair of dark eyes under her long eyelashes. The outside was burnt and the inside was tender. The surface of the rabbit was open, with distinct grains of cumin falling on it, and the fat oil and water seeped out slightly. Come out, the whole rabbit leg smells like come and eat me.
Shen Lianqing was so fascinated by its fragrance that she didn't remember asking anything. She couldn't help but take a bite. The muscles left by rabbits that often run in the wild turned into a different flavor after being roasted. It blooms from the tip of the tongue and is strong but not spicy. The whole mouth is filled with the aroma of meat sprinkled with cumin and pepper.
Wow, it smells so good.
Eating such a piece of barbecue in the winter can not only provide a lot of calories but also provide great psychological satisfaction.
She loved it so much.
The two of them finished eating a rabbit, and Ji Mao threw the wrapped bird meat into his own basket.
He boiled some more hot water for Shen Lianqing to wash his hands. They found another place to hide from the snow. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. If they didn't leave, they wouldn't even be able to tell the direction.
They can only rest here temporarily. If it goes on for a long time, the snow falling from the sky will bury this place, and they will have to keep cleaning it.
It's really troublesome.
Shen Lianqing had eaten and drank enough. She yawned and felt like sleeping. She nodded and lazily poked her head out from the side of the hole.
The snow was heavy and there was no distinction between humans and animals within ten meters. Shen Lianqing seemed to be looking at a figure in the distance. He was wearing black clothes and had a strong build. He raised his hand and waved to her vigorously.
?
Is there anyone out there who is as stupid as them to go hunting in this damn weather?
However, he was so enthusiastic that Shen Lianqing raised his hand in response to him perfunctorily, "Hey, are you coming to hunt too?"
The other party didn't speak, but kept waving to her, and ran faster and faster towards their field.
Ji Maung just picked up the backpack and was stunned for a moment when he heard her talking, "How could anyone come out in this kind of weather..."
Shen Lianqing replied lazily, "How do I know!"
Oops……
I don't know what he thought of, Ji Mao's usually indifferent and gloomy face changed. He dropped the backpack in his hand and grabbed Shen Lianqing's waist. He left quickly and jumped onto the branch with a stone. They had just climbed up the tree. , the black shadow on the other end rushed towards me.
Shen Lianqing was spinning in her arms. Just when she was about to scold Ji Mao, he reached out and covered her mouth. He asked her to shush and look down.
Shen Lianqing frowned and looked at it. Her eyes widened suddenly. It was not a human figure at all, but a thin bear. When it stood upright, its limbs were slender and human-like.
It had dark hair and two copper bell-sized eyes on its dry cheeks that glowed greedily. It sniffed the air and directly took out the two roasted birds from the basket on the ground with its talons and stuffed them into its mouth.
Ji Mao took advantage of this moment to jump from one branch to another, faster and faster, farther and farther.
They are not safe in the trees. Although the bear is temporarily attracted by the rotten bird in the basket, it will find them when it comes to its senses. The bear's sense of smell is several times better than that of a dog.
If they thought they were safe in a tree like a wooden pillar, if it climbed directly up the tree, they would all be ruined.
The forest was big enough, and there was a lot of wind and snow. After an unknown amount of time, Ji Mao finally found a tree hole that was suitable for him.
The tree is nearly 100 meters high. Perhaps it was eaten by insects or struck by lightning. There is a big hole in the huge tree at 40 meters.
When spring comes and the rain comes, it sprouts again and continues to grow upward.
Nowadays, a big tree still stands upright in the wind and snow, but the scar forms a big hole and remains.
The tree was big enough, and so was the hole. There were no traces of animals nesting inside, but there were a lot of nuts left inside. Ji Mao stuffed Shen Lianqing in and asked her to throw the nuts out.
Ah, this is not good...
Wouldn't it be better to go home directly?
What she didn't know was that Ji Mao couldn't see which way home was now, so he had to find a place to wait for the heavy snow to stop.
Shen Lianqing looked at Ji Maung outside through the tree hole. He was standing on the treetop, with his hands folded across his chest, his face gloomy and calm, his gray clothes were covered with snow, and his hair was flying. His slender figure was like a martial arts world There is a bleak hero in it.
Shen Lianqing shut her mouth. She was a little afraid of heights, and the space inside was very small. She couldn't help but close her eyes, grab a handful and throw them outside.
I don't know how long she threw it. Ji Mao couldn't stand her speed, so he went directly into the tree hole and threw it with her. The tree hole was not big, so Shen Lianqing was fine alone, but with Ji Mao alone, it seemed very crowded. .
His breath was calm, and his body was close to hers in this narrow tree hole, almost holding her whole body in his arms, his chin pressed against her hat. At a glance, it looked like a pious man was lowering his head to give a light kiss. .
"you--"
Shen Lianqing turned around slightly and ran straight into his arms. Ji Mao paused for a moment when he touched her fingertips holding nuts, and then his hand throwing nuts and hazelnuts became an afterimage.
