Chapter 10: Teach the Child

Looking at the two children around her, Rong Xianxian decided to make something simple. She took out the steamed cakes she had prepared before, took out a bunch of Chinese cabbage from the refrigerator, cut a large piece of pork belly, cut it into thin slices, stir-fried the pork with the Chinese cabbage, sautéed the scallions, ginger and garlic, added water to boil, and put the prepared steamed cakes in. Add salt to taste and a large pot of stewed cakes is ready.

Fortunately, I have all the pots and pans at home. This big stew pot was originally prepared for use when everyone has a dinner together. It is never used at other times. I didn’t expect to use it here.

I found an extra-large stainless steel vegetable washing basin, poured the prepared stewed pancakes into it, tasted a piece, and found it chewy, fresh, fragrant and not bad, simple and delicious. I served a large bowl to myself and the child, and took the child to knock on the door and ask Wang Lin and the others to come and take it away. As for whether it was enough, the portion of the stewed pancakes was enough even for four young men.

I also made two poached eggs for the two children and a plate of stir-fried mushrooms and rapeseed.

After a simple breakfast, Rong Xianxian took the two children to the utility room, ready to let the children see the monster's body structure.

Although she studied traditional Chinese medicine, anatomy classes accounted for a considerable proportion of her lessons. Today, she was going to dissect two monsters. She didn't want her children to see these things, but the living environment has changed. In order to improve her children's vigilance and safety awareness, and to prevent the shock to her children when facing monsters, it might not be a bad idea to see them earlier.

Yesterday, when she was dealing with the soft skin on the big bird's abdomen, she realized that a sharp scalpel would be of no use at all. Today, she took out her secret weapon, put on isolation clothing, a mask, a hat and gloves, and used her swimming goggles as goggles. After being fully armed, she told the children to stand far away, not to make any noise, and not to get close.

The sharp scimitar was shining with a cold light. At first, I felt cold all over my body just by looking at it. But after touching it many times, I got used to it.

Looking at the big bird that had been gutted, she decided to start with the big bird first. She used a machete to cut the skin on the bird's sternum bit by bit, cut the subcutaneous muscle tissue, carefully avoided the blood vessels, found the bone connection point, and cut it open. Suddenly, she smelled a strange fragrance.

Looking at the thing that emitted white light and strange fragrance from the heart position in the big bird's chest, Rong Xianxian was excited. No wonder the big bird only dropped a book called "Light Body Art". "Light Body Art" is not a bad book. It is a kind of mundane skill that can improve speed and agility, not a method of cultivation.

For those who did not obtain the basic methods of spiritual energy cultivation in the early stage of the apocalypse, it is of course a rare practical skill, but in the long run, it is not a rare thing.

Now that she saw this inner elixir, she realized that "The Art of Light Body" was just a gift. This inner elixir was a truly rare item. The inner elixir had the effect of cleansing the marrow, expanding the meridians, repairing hidden diseases, and improving physical condition. Rong Xianxian did not intend to use it now.

I heard from people in my previous life that the value of inner elixir lies in its ability to break through barriers and levels, and can be used in a stacked manner. Even though an inner elixir was sold at a sky-high price on the task list, no one was willing to trade it.

She put away the inner elixir and continued the dissection. Puff, she accidentally cut a small blood vessel, and blood splashed all over her face. Fortunately, she was fully prepared. She didn't need to worry about the mask, but she needed to wipe the goggles.

I called Xuanxuan to get a wet wipe and continued to look for anything else useful.

She was so tired that she almost collapsed on the ground after she had completely dissected the big bird and dealt with the body of the raccoon.

The sharp scimitar, soaked in blood, glowed even colder, without any signs of being blunted.

The big bird was probably more than two meters long, and she didn't know what species it was. Not to mention that it was a monster falling from the sky, even if it was a species native to Earth, she wouldn't know what kind of bird it was.

The big bird's bones are strong but light, its flesh is tight and tough, its feathers are as sharp as a knife, and its beak shines with a cold and hard color like metal.

The two claws are sticky and have suction power. Its main attacking weapons should be its beak and feathers.

The raccoon is small in size and has fragile defenses. The only thing on its body that can be used is its sharp teeth.

Fortunately, a disposable bed sheet was laid. The bed sheet on the ground was stained with blood. In total, we got one inner elixir, a piece of soft skin from the belly of a big bird, 12 fangs of a raccoon, a piece of fur, some feathers of a big bird, dozens of kilograms of edible meat of the big bird, some internal organs and minced meat, four leg bones of the big bird, four wing bones, and some short bones.

The separated edible meat and minced meat such as offal are sorted and packed into the ice room.

A few days ago, when I was tidying up the meat in the refrigerator and making the frozen meat into dried meat sausages that could be stored for a long time, the empty space was used to make ice cubes.

Plastic bags, ziploc bags and even garbage bags at home can be used to make ice cubes.

It is used to store and preserve the meat obtained from killing monsters.

Melted ice can also be used as a source of water.

There's a power outage now, so we have to find time to bring out the frozen food from the two freezers in the basement storage room, otherwise they will all go bad over time.

The fangs of the barracuda are long, slender, and as sharp as a scimitar, so they can be used as needles to cut the soft skin of large birds.

According to previous life experience, most monster meat is edible, except for a few poisonous monsters whose poison sacs are destroyed and whose meat has a strange color, so its meat cannot be eaten.

The meat of the big bird is firm and elastic, so it should be tender and delicious. In addition, the bodies of most monsters contain spiritual energy, so eating them can improve your physical fitness.

At noon, the children were given fried meat and stewed soup. The bones of the big bird were light but strong, so Rong Xianxian decided to grind them and make weapons for the children.

Rong Xianxian showed the things in her hand to the children. Xuanxuan kept hiding behind her, but Xiao Luo was very interested and wanted to touch it very much. What she held in her hand were the feathers of a big bird, the hard beak and the sharp teeth of a raccoon.

See? If you don’t kill it, it will use its sharp teeth to bite your throat. This big bird almost broke our window that day, right? Xiao Luo nodded obediently.

If our home is destroyed by monsters, where should we go? It’s raining heavily outside and there are many monsters. We will definitely be eaten by the monsters.

"Wow," Xuanxuan burst into tears, "I don't want to be eaten by a monster, woooo," it was over, it seemed like she was too scared. Xuanxuan had liked cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and so on since she was a child. Rong Xianxian was afraid that she would see a cute monster and come to her door herself, but in this case, she was a little helpless.

Xiao Luo patted Xuan Xuan who was sobbing and said, "What are you afraid of, sister? I will protect you. Wasn't that ferocious big bird skinned by mom? Mom, let's roast the big bird's meat for lunch." Xiao Luo turned around and said to Rong Xianxian.

"Okay, okay." Looking at her daughter gradually calming down, she secretly gave her son a thumbs up, as her son was really a great help.

Xiao Luo's proud little eyebrows were about to fly up.

The two children are too young to be taught any techniques for practicing martial arts, but I can teach them the “Art of Light Body”.

I took the children to the training room upstairs, where there were many fitness equipment used by Ning Qingyun, all of which were placed aside to leave a wide space.

Take out the prepared Cassia seed sandbags. These Cassia seeds are left over from making pillows before.

Tying a sandbag to your calf while running can improve leg strength and assist in practicing martial arts. What Rong Xianxian didn't expect was that after tying the sandbag to Xiao Luo's leg, he ran very fast, as if nothing had happened.

Xuanxuan had just finished one lap when Xiaoluo had already completed the five laps she had assigned him.

She called Xiao Luo over and took him to a corner where the dumbbells Ning Qingyun used for fitness were placed. Rong Xianxian was very surprised to see him easily lift the 50-pound dumbbell with one hand.

Could it be that strength is hereditary? His father said that he has been very strong since he was a child. When he was seven or eight years old, he could lift a special baton that even adult men could not lift.

I didn’t notice that my son was so strong before. It seems that his strength increased after the revival of his spiritual energy.

Seeing Rong Xianxian's surprised expression, Xiao Luo said proudly, "Mom, am I really great?" Looking at her son with bright eyes, she felt happy and sad at the same time. She thought about how she had tied Xiao Luo to her arms all the time in her previous life and didn't even let him get off the road. What a stupid thing she had done!
