The old man woke up in the afternoon of the second day. The medicine Wang Yiyi took was very powerful, so when he woke up, the old man glanced at the medicine in the clay pot and said nothing. He just glanced at Wang Yiyi.
It's just that the old man looked less energetic than usual, and the scratched hand was still shaking slightly.
His lips looked pale, his complexion was a bit pale, and he even had a few more white hairs on his hair.
After reading the medicine, the old man went straight to find some spirits. This one was different from the one Wang Yiyi sprinkled on him. The color looked a bit yellow, and the taste of the wine was stronger than the one Wang Yiyi sprinkled.
The old man first tore off the cotton cloth wrapped in his hands, gently washed away the medicinal powder with boiling warm water, and then picked out a few silver needles from somewhere and stuck them into the unhealed wounds.
The wound that had stopped bleeding suddenly started to bleed again. The blood that flowed out was watery red, with a little black blood flowing out from behind. After seeing the black blood flowing out, the old man poured the liquor directly on it.
The sound of the old man's breathing almost echoed through the entire cave. Even after pouring the strong wine, the old man almost gritted his teeth and started to give himself acupuncture. A few moments after the needle was inserted, the black blood stopped flowing out. What comes out becomes normal blood.
The old man poured on the golden sore medicine and bandaged his hand directly.
Wang Yiyi slept like a pig at this time. It had been too long since she had stayed up late. If she stayed up late the next day, she would be very sleepy. Even Wang Laifu, who drank the soothing soup, didn't wake up at noon.
The old lady may have been frightened, so she took the glutinous rice and called Wang Laifu once, and then called Wang Cuihua again. After calling, she took two handfuls of glutinous rice in a clay pot and cooked it into porridge.
Because the door of the cave was destroyed, and the soil and straw had been removed by wooden thorns in many places, the whole cave was still a little cold.
Aunt Wang hung up two more straw mats, but there was still cold air seeping in from the outside. There was no way to do it, so the old woman took out the oilcloth and laid it directly on the door, so that the cold air was slightly isolated. .
When Wang Yiyi woke up, it was almost dark outside, and the old man was also sleeping. Some of the other men were preparing firewood, while others were putting frozen firewood outside on the stove. While roasting, there was some straw on the side, also frozen, probably for the horses.
Wang Cuihua was already awake at this time, but the madness in her eyes had receded. She was holding a bowl of glutinous rice porridge and drinking it enthusiastically.
Wang Yiyi also almost didn't eat for a whole day. She hadn't eaten since the chicken arrived yesterday.
When the old woman saw that she woke up, she stared at the porridge in Wang Cuihua's hand. She also understood that the little granddaughter was probably hungry, so she scooped up a bowl of porridge and added a little brown sugar to it.
Wang Yiyi didn't like this kind of porridge with brown sugar. He put the porridge next to him, took another small bowl, and scooped another bowl. She only scooped a small bowl, and then took some out of her bag. Dried sweet potatoes, put the dried sweet potatoes on the fire to roast, and people start to drink the glutinous rice porridge.
The glutinous rice porridge is a bit hot. I drink a small bowl of glutinous rice porridge while blowing the wind, and I feel a lot warmer on my body.
Wang Yiyi's mother and Uncle Wang's mother were almost at odds with each other. The two of them usually didn't talk to each other, but they would quarrel whenever they spoke.
The other boys didn't talk much, for fear of disturbing grandpa's sleep. Uncle Wang was a little tired, so he slept next to him and fell asleep. Father Wang was lighting a fire by the river alone.
The days seemed to have become silent or never existed at all.
Time passed for another day. Early in the morning of the second day, the old man lit a fire outside. When Wang Yi went out and took a look, it turned out to be the meat of wild animals that he had picked up.
Some of the wood is wet, but the bottom is dry, with a lot of pine needles on top.
.
The old man must be planning to smoke bacon.
However, the old man only prepared it for a while and found that he could order it, so he didn't order any more. He directly prepared a big basin and poured water from the hot spring on it. Don't do it in the cave because it's dark inside.
After washing all the blood-streaked beast meat, I took out the coarse salt that the old lady sold before. Some of these coarse salts were very grainy, so they could only be wrapped in a piece of cotton cloth and simply thrown into the water to soak.
When there is only a little mud or stones left, take it out and use the water to marinate the meat.
The water also needs to be processed. Usually it is burned directly over a high fire. After at least half of the water is burned, the meat is put in it.
Repeatedly putting the meat in and then taking it out to dry again, this operation lasted about three days.
Starting on the 4th day, you can light up the cigarette and start smoking bacon.
However, Wang Yiyi felt that the old man's approach was not very rigorous. The smoke coming out of the canyon proved that there were people here. But after thinking about it carefully, they had been setting fires for the past few days. Someone must have seen the smoke. Forget it, they were too lazy to care. They are.
In the past three days, almost everyone was sent to fish for meat. The younger ones fished for wild duck and rabbit meat, and the older ones fished for the wild boar and wild donkey that the old man picked up. However, where Wang Yiyi went On the cliff over there, Qiao Qiao was tied to the other side with a rope.
There is a saying that dragon meat is in the sky and donkey meat is underground. When Wang Yiyi knew that the old man and the others had picked up donkey meat, they went around for a while, and sure enough, they picked up a donkey along the way.
She didn't know how to handle it, so she learned from the side while the old man and the others were handling donkey meat.
Once you learn, you can use your consciousness to enter the space and start cutting the knives in the kitchen.
The old man did not dispose of all the donkey meat, leaving only one rib and one hind leg.
Since the onset of the cold wave, basically everyone has had a large bowl of meat per person every day. This was something that ordinary people would never dare to think about before.
Especially donkey meat and beef are generally not allowed to be slaughtered by the government. Unless they reach an age, the government will approve the killing and then sell them.
Even so, it is difficult for ordinary people to have access to this kind of food, and even ordinary people who accidentally die of illness cannot afford it.
Wang Yiyi doesn't like eating meat very much, but the old lady always picks the tenderest, fattest and thinnest parts in the pot and serves them to her every time.
She also gave her face and finished the meat every time. In fact, when she went to other places to eat meat, she secretly kept some of it in the room.
It's not that the meat is unpalatable, but the animal meat itself has a bloody smell, and the broken stars left in the body after being frozen to death, the meat has a fishy smell that is very unpleasant, plus the old lady usually The meat is not processed much either.
They just wash it and start cooking it without any blood, and they don't have the conditions to add any wine, spices, etc., so the whole meat tastes a bit woody, and it's not delicious at all.
Perhaps it is in compliance with the rules of energy absorption by living things. Even if they eat meat every day, few of these people gain weight. Especially the wild animals in the mountains, which run almost all year round, and some are all lean. Even if they are After eating for less than half a month, except for Wang Cuihua and Aunt Wang, no one else gained weight.
