Seeing everyone's dark faces, tattered clothes, and frightened expressions of hunger, Lin Yan said happily: "I haven't had this experience for a long time. I almost forgot what it feels like to be hungry."
Lanxing wiped his face casually, "Today was so exciting. Hunting has never been so thrilling in the past. Those blood scorpions are really not afraid of death. Fortunately, they retreated in the end."
Huang Ning silently helped Wen Xue pick up the corpses of the blood scorpions. Among the group of people, only Wen Xue still had the heart to deal with these corpses in order to extract the poison.
Lan Yue wiped the blood on the knife, "Have a rest for the night and leave here as soon as possible tomorrow. The blood scorpion is always a threat, we can't wait passively."
"Where to go?" Blue Star asked. They didn't know this place, so they just wandered in randomly.
Lin Yan stared at the iron pot and said without raising his head: "We still have the hemp rope we brought when we went down the cliff. We will find a suitable place tomorrow and follow the rope down. I have seen it. The height of the cliff is about a hundred meters. Most of the trees and shrubs below are low, so it’s safer to walk inside than above. That’s where we want to go.”
Under the cliff, there was a flat river with occasional low hills. Lin Yan felt like a large basin. It happens to be in the northwest, so the general direction is correct.
Blue Star: "You can go down the cliff. But you have to keep the hemp rope. It may be used later. We made a rope out of vines overnight and will use it tomorrow."
While talking, the meat was finally cooked, and everyone's wooden bowls were still there, and they started eating hurriedly.
The bowl of broth in his hand was the most delicious thing he had eaten in the past few years, and Lin Yan burst into tears in an instant.
She felt more that she was too hungry, and she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
That night, everyone was divided into two teams, taking turns to rest, always on guard for fear that the Blood Scorpion would appear again.
I also made three tough straw ropes in one night.
At dawn, we found a spot, tied the straw rope, and slid down the cliff one by one.
After landing, he didn't dare to stop and ran wildly towards the distance.
One morning passed, and I saw that I was getting further and further away from the cliff before I dared to stop.
Blue Star gasped, "It's safe now, those scorpions will definitely not be able to catch up with us."
Lu Yu took out mats and spread them on the ground and asked everyone to sit on them. "I ran here all the way. I didn't see any scorpions. It should be safe. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you can change out of your old clothes and I will mend them."
Yes, Lu Yu was selected because he has good sewing skills. Clothes wear out quickly when they go out, so they bring needles, thread and cloth with them in case of emergencies.
Lu Yu also handles the furs of ferocious animals that he usually hunts, and prepares clothes for everyone for the cold season.
Sitting on the mat, Lin Yan looked at his pants. There were many cuts in his pants, and it was still chilly behind.
I was so busy running around that I didn't notice it. At this moment, I felt embarrassed.
Taking a peek at others, I found that she was not the only one like this. Lin Yan felt relieved and pretended to be casual: "Lan Yue, Huang Ning, let's go change clothes."
Several people did not doubt him. In fact, everyone looked the same and no one could laugh at anyone.
Putting on new trousers, Lin Yan looked a little sad, "I brought five pairs of trousers, and three of them are already torn. I've only been walking for half a month, and it cost too much."
"Me too." Although Wen Xue didn't contribute much, her clothes would always be scratched every time she ran away in a panic.
The same goes for Lan Yue and Huang Ning.
Even though they had brought their most durable clothes, they still couldn't withstand it.
Wenxue said: "If this continues, no matter how good the clothes are, they won't be able to withstand it. How about wearing these scratched ones first? They have been mended anyway and can still be worn. Keep two pairs of better clothes for when we get to Wu." Country, we can’t be without clothes.”
"That's right. People rely on their clothes. When we arrive in Wu Kingdom, what if we wear tatters? What if we are kicked out? Wen Xue's suggestion is very good. I will tell everyone later to wear the tatters first. "Lin Yan didn't even expect this. He only wanted to find Wu Guo as soon as possible.
Lu Yu mended clothes quickly and well, with fine stitches, and no traces of mending could even be seen in some places.
Confirming that it was temporarily safe, the team decided to stay and rest for two days.
The food reserves were used up, and they had to hunt to prepare some food for the future, repair themselves, and then set off.
Without the obstruction of tall trees, the terrain in this area is gentle, with abundant water plants and a wide variety of prey.
There are many plump rabbits, pheasants, elk, etc., which are all excellent supplementary ingredients.
Lin Yan and Lan Yue took six people hunting, while the rest stayed behind to do other things.
An arrow shot out and hit the elk's neck. Lin Yan smiled and quickly changed the arrow, aiming for the next elk.
Lan Yue is no less generous. After discovering a herd of elk, they decided to compete with each other to see who could go faster.
Ten minutes later, the elk herd dispersed, leaving more than twenty carcasses behind.
Several people quickly stepped forward to collect the prey, piled it on a simple pull cart made of branches, and returned home with a full load.
There was a water source more than a hundred meters away from the camp. Lan Xing led a few people to skin and divide the meat, and Lin Yan followed suit.
This time out, she used the dagger more smoothly. With the knife raised and lowered, the method of handling prey becomes more and more flexible.
The useless internal organs were buried on the spot, and the useful ones were taken away, and the group returned to the station.
Wen Xue had just finished handling a pile of blood scorpion corpses, looked up and said with a smile: "You are back, what a good harvest."
"Of course, I'll go out personally and I can't come back empty-handed." Lin Yan smiled proudly, "See, the meat today is enough for us to eat for more than ten days."
Lan Xing said happily: "I harvested twenty-six elk today. They are all very fat. The meat has been cleaned. Gao Qiang, come quickly. I'll leave the rest to you."
Gao Qiang said cheerfully: "Okay, you guys have a rest, I promise to make these meats into fragrant jerky."
Others also helped cut and smoke the meat. If Gao Qiang were to do this alone, it would take too long.
Taking out the parchment, Lin Yan checked it carefully, trying to find some clues. However, the lines are too rough and abstract, and there is no similarity with the current terrain.
Lan Yue sat next to her, glanced at it, and sneered: "It's just a few threads, but you can't see the flowers. We're already here, just rely on intuition."
Lin Yan thought about it, turned around and said with a smile: "Your intuition is very accurate, I will let you lead the way from now on."
I have to admit that Lan Yue is really God's favorite. Apart from her enviable talent, her good luck cannot be envied.
Whatever Lan Yue wants to do, there is a high probability that he will succeed.
Lan Yue didn't refuse, "Okay. You should also be careful and don't let yourself go too far."
She had just seen Lin Yan's wild energy in hunting, and she was really worried, fearing that if she didn't pay attention, Lin Yan would lose her.
Although Lin Yan was very powerful and one of the best among this group of people, no one dared to let her risk it regardless. He always subconsciously wants to protect her.
Lin Yan giggled, he couldn't stop if he didn't pay attention. In the wilderness, the sky is so big and the earth is so big that some people can’t contain their hands and feet.
