Zhang Eryong looked at the big white steamed buns and eggs in his hand, bowed his head and pulled out a self-deprecating wry smile, she was particular about her diet, even eating the big white steamed buns and eggs might not feel good, but he still wanted to use his own baked goods Big corn flour pancakes to satisfy her hunger.
How could she eat something so crude
The two sat down, and just after taking a few bites, there was a strange noise in the grass behind them.
Hearing the movement, the two of them turned their heads at the same time, only to see a big snake nearly two meters long, twisting its body and passing behind them.
Shen Ruolan's eyes lit up, "Er Yong, grab it quickly!"
The taste of snake meat is much more delicious than that of beef and mutton, and it can also be boiled for soup. Otherwise, if you just eat steamed buns and eggs, you will choke to death!
Zhang Eryong immediately put the eggs and steamed buns into his arms, got up and ran towards the snake.
With almost no effort, the snake was caught. Zhang Eryong stepped on the snake's head with one foot, pulled the snake's tail with the other hand, and scratched the seven-inch snake's belly with a knife. .
"Lan'er, snake gall can improve eyesight, swallow it!" Zhang Eryong handed over the blood-stained snake gall.
Shen Ruolan looked at the bloody thing, felt a little apprehensive, so she shook her head and said, "I don't want it, you should eat it!"
Zhang Eryong didn't say much, he swallowed the snake's gall alive with his head up, then cut off the snake's head with a knife, and peeled off the snake's skin, revealing the white snake's body, still twisting and twisting!
He cleaned out the internal organs three times and five times, and cleaned up the snake.
Shen Ruolan was not idle either, she took out a small earthen pot from the basket (in the space), and prepared to boil snake soup.
Seeing that she was still carrying the crock pot, Zhang Eryong said in surprise, "You still carry this?"
Shen Ruolan chuckled, "It's not just this, I also have bowls and chopsticks, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in my back basket!"
Zhang Eryong twitched the corners of his mouth, Lan Er is really a person who pays attention to the quality of life, even if he only entered the mountain for a few days, he would not make himself suffer...
"Brother Eryong, do you know where there is a water source nearby? Can you go and get some water for me? I want to drink this snake soup, or I will choke to death if I just eat steamed buns and eggs!"
Zhang Eryong put the packed snake on the ground, picked up her earthen jar, and said, "There is a small stream just over the top of the mountain. The water is quite clean and clear. The animals in this mountain like to go there to drink water. You Just wait here for me, don’t wander around, I’ll go get water and come back.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Ruolan hurriedly pointed to the peeling snake, "Take this and wash it, otherwise it will be bloody, and it may smell fishy after cooking."
Zhang Eryong didn't say anything, he just turned around and picked up the snake, and left quickly.
Shen Ruolan looked at Zhang Eryong's back, and felt that this kid was acting weird today, he seldom talked, and he didn't smile anymore, he looked preoccupied, could it be that he was under psychological pressure because he was afraid that he would not be able to find those two medicines?
While guessing this, she picked up some withered grass and dry branches around, and she felt that there was enough for stewing snake soup, then she stopped, and while he was away, she ran to a distant grass to relieve herself.
I've been walking all morning, and it's not convenient even once. Although I don't want to urinate now, it's better to solve the problem in advance than to pee when I'm with him later.
While it was in progress, a shadow suddenly passed over the head. The shadow was huge, like an airplane, and it seemed to block out the sky and the sun. Shen Ruolan was startled, and when she looked up, she saw a huge eagle swooping down from the sky and heading straight for the snake skin on the ground.
Eagles are big and big! Surprisingly large! After the wings spread out, the distance between the two wingtips was almost two meters wide, and the sharp claws like steel claws were opened, much bigger than a man's hand!
Shen Ruolan has lived two lifetimes, and this is the first time she has seen such a big eagle. She was taken aback, and quickly took out her pistol to be on guard. If this big guy came to attack her, she would shoot it. .
Such a big beast, it is definitely not possible to use a toothpick crossbow to deal with it, you have to shoot directly!
After the eagle swooped down, it grabbed the snake skin on the ground and flew back to the sky. The movement was as fast as the camera was fast-forwarding, but it soon realized that it had been deceived. It was not a snake, but a snake Skin!
The proud eagle seemed to disdain to eat a piece of snakeskin, loosened its claws, and threw the snakeskin away.
The snake skin fluttered like a belt, and it spun a few times in the air before falling back to the ground.
The giant eagle circled a few more times in the sky and flew away!
Shen Ruolan patted her chest and let out a long breath. Emma, how scary, if she didn't have a pistol, she would be scared to death by now!
When Zhang Eryong came back from fetching water, seeing that Shen Ruolan's expression was not quite right, he asked with concern: "Lan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Ruolan said in fear: "I saw a giant eagle just now, but it's so big, it's bigger than you, it's so scary!"
Zhang Eryong was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Then we should not separate from now on, let's stay together for whatever we do, so we can take care of each other."
"Okay!" Shen Ruolan responded with lingering fear.
Seeing that he brought back the water, the snake was washed clean and there was no more blood, Shen Ruolan withdrew her thoughts, took the snake over, cut a piece of snake meat, and started to stew the snake soup.
If the snake is stewed in an iron pot, it will have a fishy smell. It is best to stew wine in a crock pot. The snake soup cooked slowly over a small fire is delicious, fragrant and strong, and has no fishy smell at all. The two sat under the big tree, enjoying the cool breeze, eating snake meat while drinking soup, and steamed buns and eggs.
Zhang Eryong has been in the mountains for so many years, and it was the first time he ate so deliciously.
After eating, Zhang Eryong and Shen Ruolan went to wash the jars, put away the jars and the remaining snake meat, and continued walking into the mountains.
The snake skin was also taken, and Zhang Eryong wanted to keep it for his father to make a belt.
It went all the way into the evening, and stopped when it was completely dark.
Zhang Eryong came here on purpose, because there is a cave here, a dark and narrow cave, the cave is only one meter high, and the area is only two to three square meters. He used to come here to hunt, and he always stayed in this cave. For the overnight stay, although it is dark and humid inside, at least it can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is very safe from being attacked by wild animals.
After arriving here, Shen Ruolan started to cook. This time, she didn't cook soup or porridge, so she found some dry firewood, put the snake meat left over at noon, and then baked it on the fire. She also baked two steamed buns. Two goose eggs were burned in the fire....
A sumptuous dinner came about under her help. During the meal, Shen Ruolan took out several cucumbers and persimmons from her back basket, saying that they were for quenching thirst and greasy. It's really a bit greasy, and eating a few mouthfuls of cucumber and persimmon, it's extra refreshing!
Zhang Eryong felt even more sad after eating this delicious dinner...
This cute and capable girl is about to become someone else's...
After dinner, the two of them were ready to go to bed. Zhang Eryong originally wanted Shen Ruolan to live in the cave, so he could spend the whole night outside. Unexpectedly, Shen Ruolan took out a tent from his back basket and asked him to cut a few branches for her, saying She wants to live outside.
The reason is that the cave is too damp, she doesn't like it!
When Zhang Eryong saw his tent, it was made of heavy coarse cloth. Although it was patched with Robudin, it was effective as a windshield and well concealed, so he didn’t say anything more. They set up a tent, found some hay, and spread it in the tent to prevent the moisture from the ground from entering her body while sleeping.
When Shen Ruolan saw Zhang Eryong entering the cave, she smiled slyly, quietly took out her cotton cloth and mattress from the space, laid them on the floor, and began to sleep...
…
The night in the mountains was not quiet, with insects chirping, birds chirping, and occasionally howling wolves came from a distance, which made Shen Ruolan startled and woke up several times in one night.
Afraid of any unexpected situation, she deliberately put on the soft armor she bought at the auction, and put the pistol outside, just in case.
Fortunately, this night was safe and sound. Although there was no stopping outside, there were no wild animals to harass.
After waking up early, Shen Ruolan put the quilt into the space, took out the bedpan to relieve her hands, washed and dressed before coming out of the tent.
Although she was disturbed by insects, birds and wild wolves howling at night, because the tent blocked the wind and the bed was warm, she had a good rest this night, at least eight hours of deep sleep could be guaranteed.
