The two little brothers made a decision after discussion. Cheng Mingli was responsible for skinning and processing the rabbit, while Mingyi was responsible for finding firewood for barbecue.
There was only so much seasoning. When the fire started, Cheng Mingli processed the two rabbits and sent them to Mingyi. Mingyi strung one on a clean branch and put it on the stacked shelf. In order to save salt, she rubbed it on the rabbit. When it comes to salt, we are careful not to waste it.
The other rabbit remained untouched and was only covered with weeds; this rabbit is to be taken back, and an extra portion of salt will be used when roasted here.
Cut the rabbit into small pieces and dry them in the sun without losing the bones; put them on a stone to dry them together and dry them out, so they can be preserved.
After the rabbit was roasted, Mingyi tore it off and tasted it. It had a light salty taste and a bit of fishy taste in the mouth, but it was not very strong.
"Brother, come on, the rabbit is ready."
"Here we come." Cheng Mingli arranged the last things and ran to the pool to wash his hands before coming over.
Mingyi tore off a rabbit hind leg and gave it to him. She also tore one off and ate it. "Brother, eat it. There are still two legs left. Take them back to your parents."
"My sister is so good." Taking a bite of rabbit meat, the meat is more hungry than whole grains and wild vegetables. Even if it has a fishy smell, it doesn't matter.
The brother and sister finished eating one rabbit separately and wrapped the remaining two legs with dead leaves.
Mingyi wrapped two dead leaves, pulled out some wild vegetables and gave them to her brother. She hid the rabbit legs in the wild vegetables, "Brother, take some wild vegetables back and give them to mother."
"You should be fine here alone, don't run around, wait for your brother to come back." He warned repeatedly worriedly.
Mingyi nodded obediently, and then he ran back. He was worried that his sister would be alone in the wild, so he ran very fast. It was also because he had internal strength and used his mental skills while running that he could run more easily than before.
Mingyi was not idle. She put the kitchen knife on the stone platform to prevent the meat from being stolen by other beasts. She used the stones to create a maze, which was either a powerful formation or a way to confuse living objects.
After doing this, she ran through the unexplored meadows and woods. When she saw rabbits and pheasants, she caught them, killed them, and threw them into the space.
She also found a few wild chili peppers on the shady side of the grass. The wild chili peppers were very small and red. They threw them into the space and searched for anything useful in the mountains.
After walking a certain distance, the scene in the mountain forest became more and more desolate.
Mingyi stopped walking forward, and then walked back in the other direction. When she was approaching the grassland, she vaguely heard her brother's call. She saw that the sun in the sky was approaching noon, and she had been out for several hours.
"Brother, I'm here."
Shout loudly.
Cheng Mingli, who was a mile away, heard it. He followed the sound and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mingyi was fine.
"Why are you running around? I told you to wait for my brother over there!" Cheng Mingli was panting. He was so anxious to find his sister that he even forgot about the movement technique.
"Brother, I just walked a little further away and didn't run around."
Cheng Mingli knocked on her forehead, "You haven't run around yet. This is not how you fool me."
"Hehe." Mingyi rubbed her forehead, "Brother, I really didn't run around!"
"Stop being such a spoiled brat, I won't take you out if you don't obey me."
Mingyi nodded repeatedly and pretended to be obedient, her eyes full of sincerity.
Cheng Mingli was helpless. How could he bear to refuse such a coquettish sister's request?
"Brother, did you give your meat to your mother?"
"Yes, I came out with my parents. They only ate in the valley before going back. Don't worry about it. You worry too much at a young age and you won't grow taller."
Mingyi wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, pulling Cheng Mingli back to the place where the rabbits were drying; she kicked away a stone in the formation without leaving a trace, and the formation naturally broke.
"Brother, it's noon, we should go back."
"It's time to go back for dinner. You are so anxious about me. You must not run around next time. My brother will lose his temper again." Cheng Mingli said.
Mingyi quickly changed the subject, "What should we do with the rabbit meat? Should we take it back? It's hard to take back so much."
"Let's just dry it in the sun. Let's come here as soon as we finish eating. I hope we won't be eaten by wild game in the mountains." Cheng Mingli considered the practical problem and brought back so much meat to taste.
People who have not eaten meat for a long time will be very sensitive to the smell of meat.
If they brought back the meat that had not been dried, they would definitely be discovered by the clan members.
Seeing this, Mingyi nodded, "Then let's dry it in the sun. We'll come back as soon as we finish eating."
"You have to take the kitchen knife back, don't throw it away." Cheng Mingli picked up the kitchen knife on the stone and couldn't help but feel lucky that his sister had left the kitchen knife here without being discovered or taken away by something.
Before leaving, Mingyi put the stone back; in Cheng Mingli's eyes, she just accidentally touched the stone and there was no suspicion.
The little brother and sister trotted back to have lunch, and when they came out again, they didn't bring their kitchen knives.
Mingyi sighed, what should she do with the pheasants and rabbits in her space? She couldn't clean them up without a kitchen knife. Thinking that the space would not deteriorate, she waited until the next town, and she had to find a way to get a knife no matter what.
Thinking like this, they already ran to the stone where the rabbits were dried.
In the next half day, Mingyi and Mingli found a slightly shaded place where they could teach Mingli how to practice martial arts while looking at the meat on the stone.
Cheng Mingli was indeed not a martial artist. He learned the first nine moves in a long time, and there were still twenty-three moves after that.
In the evening, martial arts training ends.
The brother and sister returned to the stone with sweating profusely and saw that the rabbit meat had been curled and dried in the sun.
"Tomorrow we will dry it for another day. It would be great if we had a pot. Let's boil the rabbit meat and dry it for another day. We can take it out to eat at any time on the road." Cheng Mingli was quite regretful.
The pot has a fixed number and cannot be taken out at will.
Mingyi thought about it and learned from the memory of the original owner that her mother hid a small pot. It was very small. She only accidentally saw it when she often followed Chen Daya. Cheng Mingli did not know these things. of.
After all, she was young, so Chen Daya was afraid that they would spill the beans and would not mention important matters to them.
"Brother, when they fall asleep, can we cook out at night?"
Cheng Mingli hesitated and said, "It's too dangerous. There are two of us at night. My brother can't protect you."
"Brother, you have forgotten, I can protect you; my internal strength can already crush stones, it is not weak if you think about it, and I have learned all the martial arts moves."
Cheng Mingli still didn't nod, so Mingyi kept trying, "Try it! It's a pity that you can't eat so much meat."
"Then try, it's just that it's dark at night" and it's inconvenient to move around.
Cheng Mingli finally gritted his teeth and agreed, so naturally Mingyi would not miss such an opportunity.
"Don't be afraid, the moon is full and round at fifteen or sixteen, you can see it." The only thing that needs attention is the snake.
This thing is hard to guard against at night.
"Then let's try it. Steal the pot out at night and put it back after cooking. But where should we put the cooked meat? It doesn't matter if there is no place to put it."
