"Huh," Su Shuilin let out a sigh of relief, straightened up, and rubbed his aching waist, finally finished.

Su Shuilin wrapped the dried wild mushrooms in silk cloth and put them in the bag.

These were discovered under a few large damp trees while exploring the road a few days ago. At first, I was not sure whether it was poisonous or not. Later, during a certain observation, I found that the pheasants that passed by were pecking and eating, and there was nothing unusual. Then I took a thick branch and dug up all these mushrooms with confidence. return.

I added a few flowers to the stew and found that it tasted much better. It seems that stewing soup is not so simple. I want to get fire from the original drill wood and stew bland and tasteless tiger meat soup. It was not until the sour and salty sauce was made last month that the soup tasted like fireworks, and the bacteria I found these days. Mushrooms add a lot to the broth.

Su Shuilan was satisfied with the large package of dried mushrooms that he had collected. Although the weight was not heavy, it was enough to eat by himself for several months.

"Woooo", the two little wolf cubs rushed into the hole from the outside, biting Su Shuilin's trouser legs and dragging them straight out. Su Shuilin had no choice but to let them drag him to the entrance of the cave.

"Xiaochun, Xiaoxue, you caught this?" Su Shuilu pointed at the two pheasants lying on the ground dripping blood at the entrance of the cave in surprise, and asked the two little wolf cubs.

"Woooooo." The little wolf cub seemed to answer her, and he straightened his forelegs and swayed around Su Shuiyun for a while, then put down his forelimbs and swayed his pure white tail a few times.

Su Shui squatted down with a smirk and rubbed their heads: "Unexpectedly, Xiaochun Xiaoxue has grown up and can actually hunt for food. Hehe... Well, today we will eat roasted pheasants, um, take Chicken feet and chicken necks are cut off and stewed for soup."

"Woooooo-" The two little wolf cubs happily surrounded Su Shuilin, shaking their heads for a few times, and then rushed out of the hole to grab dead branches. Su Shuilin stood at the entrance of the hole and smiled at them for a while, then rolled up his sleeves to prepare work.

While burning hot water for plucking chicken feathers in a stone earthen pot, I thought about going out of the woods. Now that the two little wolf cubs are almost a year old, they should have no problem following them out of the forest. Besides, they will arrest small wild animals. Even if the dried meat, mushrooms, and wild fruits they prepare are not enough to eat, there is no need to worry about them. starving.

Well, that's the decision. While it's still spring and summer, I must leave as soon as possible. Who knows how long it will take to get out of this forest, if the weather turns cold, it will be bad if the snow covers the mountain.

Thinking of a good decision, Su Shuilin plucked the chicken feathers briskly. After washing the two pheasants, he cut open the chicken stomachs with a dagger. The oil sac, unlike in my memory, my cousin dug up so many greasy and disgusting things when he cut the chicken.

Su Shuilin stared at the two cleaned and dissected pheasants for a long time, and decided to marinate one of them in the gravy of salty fruit for a long time, then hang the chicken paws on the hemp rope woven from rattan grass and hang it in the hole to air dry. The other is smearing the back of the chicken with sour and salty sauce and putting it on a wooden stick ready to be grilled later. He put the cut chicken feet, chicken necks and internal organs into a stone jar that had been filled with 60% water. He also threw away a lot of dried shiitake mushrooms. After adding seasonings, they simmered on the fire.

"Woooooo-" When the fragrant chicken soup and the crispy roast chicken were almost ready to taste, the two little wolf cubs gave up the chase not far from the hole, and ran back to Su Shuilin with a "woohoo". Licking her feet, she seemed greedy.

Su Shuilin picked up Xiaoxue in a funny way, "Is your sister hungry? Well, we'll have dinner right away." Then he patted Xiaochun who was squatting on the ground with shining eyes and looked at Su Shuilin teasing Xiaoxue with admiration. , smiled and reassured: "Xiao Chun is also hungry, right? Well, let's play with my sister for a while. I'll serve you fragrant chicken soup and cut crispy roast chicken."

Fill the stone bowls for the two little wolf cubs with thick chicken soup and set them aside to cool first, then cut the whole roasted chicken into eight large pieces with a dagger, distribute the two chicken legs to Xiaochun and Xiaoxue, and put them together. A piece of chicken wings to nibble on. Well, with the seasoning, the roast chicken tastes so much better than the original roast tiger meat.

Looking at the two little wolf cubs who were very happy to eat the ground, he smiled knowingly, unexpectedly, the wolf cubs also like to eat cooked food. Maybe it was because he fed them broth and minced meat from the very beginning, Xiaochun Xiaoxue didn't have the ferocity of hungry wolves for living or dying wild animals, even if she caught it like this today Wild animals will also be brought back and handled by themselves. I don't know if such wolves are good or bad for them. However, since he has decided to take them out of the mountains together, he will keep them as big dogs. As long as they have something to eat, they will never be hungry.

Although he had already decided to go out of the forest, after Su Shuilin was fully prepared and tidy up, another month had passed, and Lin Zi also entered the summer as scheduled.

"Xiao Chun, Xiao Xue, we should go."

Su Shuilan picked up the well-organized big bag. In addition to the clothes, accessories, and silver that were already there, he also added a bag of dried mushrooms with almost no weight, and a dried salty pheasant. , a large package of jerky mixed with tiger and rabbit meat.

In addition, Su Shuilin also scooped all the crystal green transparent liquid in the concave stalactite into the gourd with a wooden spoon. Although it was only a little bit on the bottom of the gourd, Su Shuilin who had only tasted a few drops knew how effective this liquid was, and he was not allowed to secretly taste it unless he had to.

The two little wolf cubs have recently fallen in love with hunting. Although all they can catch are only small wild animals, perhaps it is due to their nature, but the food they hunted has been handed over to Su Shuilin for processing, and they still do not like raw food. . Su Shuilin roasted the wild rabbits and wild ducks they hunted, stewed them, and ate them for a long time.

As for wild fruits, she filled a full basket with that lovely idyllic rattan basket, which contained ripe wild mountain peaches, sour plums, wild mulberries, hawthorn, and a few others that looked like apples, but were more expensive than apples. Smaller and more sour, it is probably a wild apple, but there are very few fruit trees of this kind. After searching for a long time, only two trees were found. After picking all the ripe fruits from the trees, there were only about twenty trees. In a few days, I couldn't help but gnaw off several. Among the remaining wild fruits, this kind of fruit is the least.

However, it is enough to eat for a long time. Su Shuilu thought beautifully.

At least, the current situation is much better than when I first came here and I could only eat the bland tiger jerky. You see, there are salty jerky, various dried mushrooms, and fresh and refreshing wild fruits, um, Although the weight of the basket is really heavy. However, looking at the two underage wolf cubs jumping forward happily, Su Shuilin reluctantly changed his hands, and he should carry it by himself. Put them on their backs and let them go on their backs.

One man and two wolves, walking and resting, whenever he encounters a source of water, Su Shuilin always stops, because the gourd contains crystal green liquid and can no longer hold water, so he can only use the water source to wash his face and hands, and drink some water to moisturize his lips .

It is still a bit sultry to drive in the woods after summer.

Su Shuilin let the two little wolf cubs drink enough water to play with them for a while, while he rested against the tree trunk, nibbled a few wild fruits, and threw a few pieces of jerky as a snack for the little wolf cubs.

Although because of the water source, I lost a few silver notes with a denomination of one thousand taels, but I still like to rest in places with water.

Speaking of the five silver notes that were soaked in water, Su Shuilin could only attribute that he had no relationship with them.

Who knew that the owner of this body would hide the silver note in the belt between the outer robe and the middle robe. How would I notice this when I took off my robe by the creek? I just took it off and rinsed it in the stream. As a result, I only saw the five silver notes when they floated up from the water, and only when I picked it up did I find it. It turned out to be a silver note with a face value of a thousand liang, but unfortunately it has been rotten.

After walking and resting for four or five times, when he came to the water source again, the sky was already dark. Su Shuilin looked at the endless forest, sighed, and turned around and couldn't find it. Suitable for overnight in stone caves, tree caves and the like. It seems that I have to sleep here tonight, and I still don't know if there will be a water source if I continue to move forward.

After Su Shuilin looked around, he picked out a relatively secret bush behind him, took out a tiger skin from the bag and spread it on the ground. The two little wolf cubs were very discerning. A lot of dry sticks came. Su Shuilu patted their heads happily, as if her children were happy to know that they were considerate mothers.

It was only after a short while of happiness that I remembered that I didn't bring fire.

"Oh!" Su Shuilin patted his forehead in frustration, thinking of the charcoal fire that he had carefully stored in the stone tube and blown with hay, but now it was left out in the cave.

That one, he finally used his knowledge of drilling wood to make fire for experiments. Since then, Su Shuilin has been accustomed to leave a fire in the stone tube, so as not to spend countless times of drilling the wood to start the fire next time. That was very painful.

Su Shuilin innocently looked at the two little wolf cubs crouching on the ground shaking their heads and waving their tails, spread out his palms towards them, and poured out his grievance: "Xiaochun, Xiaoxue, I forgot to bring the fire. Although the stone bowl and stone pot are It's a bit heavier, and I didn't intend to bring it. But I didn't want to forget the fire in the stone tube. Alas! It's all my fault. Before I left, I thought about this tiger skin and didn't check it carefully." Su Shui Lian muttered to himself half-complaining and half-reproach, and the two little wolf cubs hummed towards her affectionately, and got into her arms, as if to comfort her.

"Okay, I'm not sad, I just blame myself for being too careless. Fortunately, it's early summer, so sleeping out at night shouldn't be very cold. Besides, we still have this warm and soft tiger skin, right? Giggle... don't lick my face, it's so itchy!"

One person and two wolves shared dried meat and wild fruits. Su Shuilin also cut a salted chicken leg for them to share. The little wolf cub was still growing, so he couldn't go hungry. Afterwards, after drinking water each, they snuggled together and wrapped in tiger skins and fell asleep peacefully.
