"Fans eat first" was still a small agreement she made with her fans when she was a blogger. Every time when the finished video was shown, the first bite was always handed to the camera so that the fans could eat it first.
"Does grilled zebra meat look a lot like beef? In fact, it tastes a lot like it."
Her mouth was stuffed, chewing, chewing,
“I thought the texture would be as hard as a rubber band, because it might have been roasted a bit too long before in the restaurant, but today it tasted softer than expected, but it was definitely chewier than the pork. Because. I sprinkled a lot of cumin on it, so it doesn’t taste fishy and doesn’t taste like wild animals.”
She smacked her lips and commented.
After solving the problem of food and clothing, she looked around and found a fallen crooked-neck tree behind her. It hit another tree, forming a triangular space with the ground.
Perfect for building a temporary shelter for tonight.
"Great, let's rest here tonight!"
She spent an hour finding a pile of turf and unknown large leaves, and piled them on both sides to build a canopy.
While collecting turf, she also discovered that there was a kind of grass nearby that could repel mosquitoes, called ghost grass. She had seen this kind of grass in the mountains before, and even uprooted it and planted it in her yard, which reduced the number of mosquitoes in the summer. Troubled.
She pulled out a few roots and planned to throw them into the fire at night.
She just saw that the mosquitoes in the jungle were almost as big as her little finger. If she didn't take some measures, she would be in trouble at night.
Meng Qingtao went outside the woods to cut a pile of hay with a dagger and spread it on the ground as a mat.
She couldn't bear to sleep directly on the mud in the jungle.
After all this, her newly filled stomach growled again.
At this time, the time had reached about 18:00 to 18:30 in the evening. She was exhausted at this moment and had consumed too much energy. In addition, she only ate that one meal all day, and she was still hungry even after lunch. .
After extinguishing the original fire and lighting it up again at its current location, Meng Qingtao took out the meat skewers that had been soaked in water in the afternoon and cooked them.
This was half a month ago. If someone had told her that one day she would calmly and leisurely eat charcoal-grilled zebra meat alone in the wilderness, she would definitely not believe it.
"Ding--"
The familiar mechanical sound sounded, and 3003, which had been silent for a day, suddenly came to life. Meng Qingtao's heart tightened, and she always felt that it was not a good thing.
"Trigger side mission: Save a life. There is an injured baby baboon in this jungle. Its mother was killed by a natural enemy. It escaped because it was seriously injured, leaving it to face many dangers alone. Please, Xiao Meng Players must find the injured baboon before dark and accompany it to heal and recover until the end of the survival cycle. The reward points for completing this mission are 300 points, and the star rating is: four stars."
"Isn't the side mission mandatory? Why are there star ratings??"
"Side tasks are non-mandatory tasks, and the star rating function is a newly launched function of the system after this upgrade and optimization. The system will evaluate the player based on the current comprehensive situation. The higher the star rating, the more recommended the player is to perform it."
"...You have said so, then I will execute it..."
Meng Qingtao gave in to the temptation of 300 points.
She had just spent too much and only had a few dozen points left in her account. Although the points consumed would not be subtracted when the list was compiled, it would be embarrassing if she didn't have enough points to buy something next time.
Yes, she had just driven away a baboon, and now she was looking for one of its kind to be a nanny for the monkeys.
The forest is so big, where to start? She no longer expected to get any help from 3003. She thought that if she was injured, there should be a cry for help, right?
She moved her position and listened carefully, and sure enough, in addition to the chirping birds, she heard a high-pitched and weak call.
She determined the direction from which the sound came, locked the target, and approached in that direction.
Under a large, uneven rock, a little baboon covered in mud curled up and looked pitifully at the sudden appearance of a two-legged beast, a species he had never seen before.
If its hind legs had not been injured, it must have been so frightened that it climbed onto a nearby branch.
Every time Meng Qingtao took a step closer, it shrank back a little. The poor baboon thought Meng Qingtao was going to eat it, so it grinned anxiously and tried to scare him.
But how could a weak and injured creature scare away a tall human?
Meng Qingtao squatted down as gently as possible, put the leftover barbecue in the palm of his hand, and handed it to it.
Although zebras are not in the diet of baboons, this injured baboon has been hungry for a whole day, and saliva drips uncontrollably from the corners of its mouth when it smells the fragrance.
Primates are all smart animals and can sense whether the other person is malicious.
After he tested Meng Qingtao several times and saw that the other party did not attack him, he finally carefully reached out his hand, took out the barbecue, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it hungrily.
When one handful was not enough, a second handful was needed, until the baboon stretched out his hand again, only to find that Meng Qingtao's palm was empty.
"Uh-huh-"
[What was that sound just now? 】
[Ah, is that the sound of a baboon? 】
[It's quite cute, like a little monkey. 】
The little baboon may have felt that he had robbed the two-legged beast in front of him of food. After eating, he began to feel embarrassed. He moved his injured hind legs and crawled in front of Meng Qingtao, placing his forelimbs on hers. The palm of my hand made a sound of "Hmm".
"Are you thanking me?" Meng Qingtao was surprised by his spirituality. She closed her palms and shook them. "Come with me, little one. I will take you to heal your wounds?"
The baboon seemed to understand. Meng Qingtao pointed to the bloody wound on his hind leg, and then pointed to his intact calf to try to make it understand.
[Hahahaha, what is Xiao Meng doing? Just go away! 】
[Trying to communicate × Trying to tease the monkey√]
[Good guy, even the baboons ate Xiao Meng’s barbecue, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]
When Meng Qingtao saw the baboon still looking confused, she was speechless. She actually expected a baboon to understand human speech!
Seeing that it was almost dark, she took off her scarf and wrapped it completely, regardless of whether the baboon was willing or not, then turned and ran away.
"Zhizhi——" The baboon was suddenly frightened and let out a shrill scream. His voice was full of uneasiness and resistance.
It was very difficult for Meng Qingtao to find strength to comfort him while he was trotting.
[Hahahahaha, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Xiao Meng is taking you to bandage and heal your wounds! 】
[Following Sister Meng, then you have a good life with your kid. Is it unwilling? 】
[Apply to the production team for role swap! I'll be that baboon. 】
We finally got back to the camp before it got completely dark, otherwise it would be easy to get lost in the forest.
There was only a faint flame left in the fire, so she quickly added some branches to make the fire simmer again.
