At this time, Mingxi was still working hard down the mountain, unaware that her ex-husband's abacus had already come into play.
The whole journey up the mountain was peaceful, but all kinds of wild animals came to life on the way down. Along the way, she encountered three snakes, two hedgehogs, and a wild wolf.
Of course, they were all killed by the Guardian's laser gun.
It's a bit scary to pick it up, but it's a pity to throw it away. If you peel it and wash it, you can stew several pots of meat.
Ming Xi wore the auxiliary skeleton and was strong enough to pick up these animals by wrapping them in a bundle.
It's a pity that high-tech bones can only increase a person's strength and speed. Balance still depends on oneself, otherwise she wouldn't have such a hard time going down the mountain.
After walking for nearly two hours, the sky turned pale.
The light from the torches in the distance was extinguished. It was probably because the villagers didn't notice anything and went home to sleep.
Mingxi did not go home, but walked in the direction of Aizipo until he reached his own wasteland.
It happened around four or five o'clock in the morning. The battery of the auxiliary skeleton was exhausted after working all night. She threw a pile of dead snakes, hedgehogs and wolves on the ground, and a low-battery sound sounded in her ears.
Normally at this time, Hu Tie Er Gou and the others were sleeping deeply, but tonight was different.
Because there was a sudden loud noise from the mountain tonight, the whole village was shaken, so they had an uneasy sleep in the second half of the night. Now Mingxi threw the dead animals, bang bang bang, and woke them all up.
"Ming...Sister Ming?!" Ergou rubbed his eyes and vaguely saw Mingxi standing not far away. His eyes moved downwards, and there were corpses on the ground!
"Ouch! It's a snake!!!" Shuanzi immediately had a stress reaction, jumped up on the spot, and jumped behind Hu Tie.
"There are wolves!!!" the dwarf screamed.
Everyone's drowsiness flew away instantly.
What's happening here? ! Don't their working hours start at Chen hour? Why did the eldest sister come to supervise the work so early today and bring so many dead bodies! ! !
Mingxi said: "These are all fresh..."
Everyone's expressions became even more horrified.
Hu Tie was stronger than them after all. He stood in front of everyone with a straight face and asked Ming Xi: "You brought these things here...what's the matter?"
Ming Xi was also confused. She thought they would be ecstatic when they saw these prey. Was she wrong? Didn’t ancient people eat snakes and hedgehogs?
She initially wanted to take it to her brother and sister-in-law's house, but on the way she thought that Tian Zhenzhen might not be able to tolerate heavy flavors, so she walked a few steps further and brought it to Hu Tie and the others to add to their meals. After all, they had multigrain rice and pickles every day, and occasionally they should Add some protein.
"I'll bring it for you to eat. If you don't eat it, I'll take it away." Ming Xi said.
Everyone was stunned.
That’s how it turns out…
The timing of her appearance was really weird, so no one thought about it...
Ming Xi lowered his head and looked at the hedgehog at his feet and said, "It's very delicious. Bleed the hedgehog cleanly, then wrap it in a layer of yellow mud and bake it over the fire. After it's cooked, you can tear off the meat strips and dip it in salt. Eat it with pepper...snake can be used to make snake soup, which tastes very fresh. I don’t know how to make this wild wolf, it’s probably similar to roasting rabbit meat.”
"Gulu..."
I don't know who swallowed his saliva.
Mingxi looked at them, "Do you want these?"
"Ah, yes!" Ergou said hurriedly, "Yes, yes...Thank you, Sister Ming."
"Okay, then I'll leave the things here." Ming Xi yawned and said, "I'm going back to rest. I won't come to supervise the work today. I'll give you a day off, just enough time for you to take these prey. Deal with it."
"Holiday?" Hu Tie suddenly frowned, "It's not the New Year, so why should we have a holiday? The task is very tight now. If we don't hurry up, when will the climbing stone steps be repaired?"
Hu Tie looked at Shuanzi and asked seriously: "Do we need a holiday?"
Shuanzi: "Uh..."
Ergou looked on, wondering if Hu Tie was stupid.
"It's just a few snakes and hedgehogs. It will take some time to deal with this wolf. Don't we still have an hour to rest at noon? It's enough." Hu Tie frowned and said, "Since we are working for the God of Joy , we should go all out and show all our sincerity. If we fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, we might as well not do it! Ergou, do you think we need a holiday?"
Hu Tie turned to look over.
Ergou raised the corner of his mouth and said with a stiff smile: "Ah, yes...what kind of vacation? Running back and forth is tiring. I just like to stay here and work. I don't want to go anywhere."
Ming Xi was already very sleepy. Seeing that they were all so enlightened, he didn't bother to say anything more.
"It's up to you, I'm going back." She waved her hand and went home to catch up on her sleep.
The remaining six people stayed in place for a while, silently picking up the snakes, hedgehogs, and wild wolves on the ground to clean up.
The two snakes were bled by Hu Tie, skinned, and their internal organs removed. They were cleaned, then cut into sections and blanched in water. He then boiled another pot of water and threw the snake meat into the boiling water. There were no fancy ingredients, only old ginger slices and a little bit of water. salt.
After a while, a very fresh aroma wafted out of the pot.
The short man drooled with greed, "My mother, Brother Tie, you actually have such skills!"
Hu Tie raised his lips proudly, "It's a pity that there is no old rice wine here. Add a little rice wine to taste more delicious."
He put the lid on the pot and turned to take care of the hedgehog. This thing was irritating and no one else knew how to deal with it.
Ergou squatted beside the makeshift stove to add firewood, intending to ease the relationship with Hu Tie, and flattered Hu Tie with ease: "It's awesome, hedgehogs can do it too. It turns out that Brother Tie hid something from us before."
Hu Tie said with a smile: "My father used to build river embankments at Shayuzui. I often hung out there. When the river workers had some free time, they would prepare some game for teething sacrifices. I followed them to eat fish and water snakes, and the hedgehogs in the grass nest also I’ve eaten a lot.”
However, most of those people had already separated from their wives and children, and within ten years, everything had changed.
When Hu Tie thought of this, his voice gradually dropped and his nose felt inexplicably sore.
It's really strange. I've been living outside for so many years and it's okay. Why do I just come to Mingxi and start feeling sad at every turn?
"Brother Tie?" The short man craned his neck to look over in confusion.
Ergou immediately picked up a banana leaf and fanned the stove, causing thick smoke to billow, "Oh shit, cough, cough, cough! The smoke made me cry!"
Hu Tie: "Cough cough cough cough!!!..."
He was just a little hot-eyed just now, but now he is really crying!
Thick smoke filled the air, and all six people were coughing violently, with tears and runny noses. When the smoke cleared, they all laughed again when they saw each other's embarrassment.
"It's a pity that Hammer is not here," Shuanzi wiped away tears from laughter, "otherwise, our seven brothers would all be alive."
Ergou sarcastically said: "He can run faster than anyone else, but you still miss him. It doesn't matter if he's not here. You can have one less piece of snake meat."
"I'm afraid I don't have enough chance with the gods." Hu Tie was extremely pious.
Hammer didn't know that he was being complained about by his companions. If he heard it, he would definitely retort loudly: "Why don't I have enough opportunities? It's just that my opportunity lies with another living god!"
At this moment, Bangtou has been waiting at the gate of Taiqing Palace all night.
In the early morning, a little Taoist priest came out with a broom to clean the steps. He was shocked when he saw Hammer curled up and taking a nap at the door!
"Why are you still here?!" The little Taoist priest shouted loudly, "I told you yesterday that my master is in retreat and no one is seeing him! Why are you so ungrateful that you end up staying here! Leave now! "
Hammer woke up with excitement. When he saw the gate of Taiqing Palace opened, he immediately rushed in!
The little Taoist priest had never seen such a shameless person before, and he shouted anxiously: "Stop him quickly! Stop him!!!"
