Chapter 59 Stiff Neck

Back on the boat, Shen Baoying hurriedly asked, "Why did you use grenades?"

Jiang Si described what had just happened, and everyone felt scared.

If Jiang Si didn't bring a grenade, it would be dangerous.

Jiang Si really didn't bring it with him at that time, so he took it out from the space temporarily.

It only took one grenade to blow up a giant salamander, and she felt quite bad about it, as there weren't many of them to begin with.

Their homemade explosive packs reacted slowly and were not very powerful.

If she had the chance, she would definitely find a way to stockpile more guns and ammunition.

After observing that there were indeed no giant salamanders around, Jiang Chengwu and Jiang Linhai began to deal with the elk.

Deer blood has the effects of nourishing blood and essence, stopping bleeding and stopping leucorrhea. It can also treat diseases such as low back pain, impotence, uterine bleeding, nose bleeding, palpitations and insomnia.

There were three large basins of deer blood. Shen Baoying used half to make blood sausage, and Jiang Chengwu prepared to make the other half into fine powder for later use.

Grandma cleaned the small intestine and the deer blood had coagulated a little. Shen Baoying stirred it evenly with chopsticks, added oil, salt, five-spice powder, pepper, chopped green onion, minced ginger, and then added water, stirring evenly while adding water.

Jiang Si processed the deer tendons, Qin Shen processed the deer hide, Jiang Linhai and Lu Zhifeng cut up the venison. Everyone had something to do. Niuniu squatted in front of Shen Baoying and said eagerly, "Auntie Shen, is there anything I can do?"

Shen Baoying glanced at her and smiled, "Niuniu just peeled so much garlic, take a break, or play with Dahei and Xiaohei for a while."

Dahei and Xiaohei surrounded Jiang Linhai and Lu Zhifeng, looking at them with greedy eyes and wanting to eat the meat, and they didn't look like they wanted to play at all.

Niuniu shook her head and said, "I don't want to play, I want to help."

This child is so sensible, it makes people feel so sorry for him.

Shen Baoying thought for a moment and asked her, "Have you washed your hands?"

Niuniu stretched out her clean palm: "I've washed it."

Shen Baoying smiled and said, “Okay, then auntie will teach you how to make delicious blood sausage.”

Niu Niu was eager to try it out. Shen Baoying tied one end of the small intestine with a thread and asked Niu Niu to hold it. She then took out a funnel, put it into the small intestine, and slowly poured in pig blood.

"See? Just pour it in slowly. Once it's filled to this point, you can tighten it with the rope. Easy, isn't it?"

It is indeed very simple, but Niu Niu’s hands are too small, and the blood sausage would slip out of her palms from time to time.

On the other side, Jiang Si had already processed the deer tendon strips and hung them in the corridor to dry.

After the deer tendons are dried, soak them in water and pound them into thin threads with a wooden mallet to make a strong bowstring.

The knowledge Jiang Si learned while practicing shooting in the club had been skillfully used many times in his previous life.

Including the making of animal hides, her craftsmanship is comparable to that of a master.

Jiang Si looked at Qin Shen, who was still scraping off the little meat left on the deerskin.

Qin Shen worked very carefully and only stopped after making sure that all the meat on the deerskin was scraped clean.

When tanning leather, too little salt will easily cause it to rot, while too much salt will make the leather hard.

He was probably estimating how much salt to sprinkle, and suddenly he stopped moving while holding the salt shaker.

Jiang Si said based on his experience: "It takes about ten kilograms of salt to tan this leather."

Qin Shen glanced at her, weighed out ten pounds of salt, spread it evenly, and then, following Jiang Si's instructions, folded the fur outwards to wrap as much fine salt as possible, placed it in a large barrel, and added water to cover the surface of the fur.

Jiang Si then said to Qin Shen, "From now on, you must stir it every day to allow the salt to dissolve, so that the deer hide will not shed hair. The elk hide made in this way will not only be very soft, but also very wear-resistant and have a beautiful color."

Lu Zhifeng had wanted to come over and give them some pointers, but when he heard Jiang Si's words, he praised her profusely, "Sisi, you know so much!"

He has been a forest ranger for many years, but he feels that he doesn't know as much as Jiang Si does.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I saw this kind of book when I was in school. I happened to be interested in it, so I took a few more glances at it."

Lu Zhifeng looked at Niu Niu who was trying hard to stuff blood sausage, and felt a little regretful. Niu Niu probably would never be able to go to university like Qin Shen and Jiang Si in this life.

Before the blood sausage was finished, Dahei and Xiaohei suddenly pricked up their ears and acted like mad.

Jiang Si picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of their roar. Several men, using reed poles to cover their bodies, were approaching them purposefully.

Jiang Sichen lowered his eyes, "Alert!"

Shen Baoying and Zhang Qingzhi took Niuniu back to the cabin. The others put down their work, picked up their guns, spread out 360 degrees, and looked around.

After a while, a group of people appeared in their sight.

When they saw the yachts and steamships, their eyes lit up and they were filled with excitement.

The man in the lead was called Qiu Lei. He was tall and sturdy, with a square face, wheat-colored skin, and a tattoo on his shoulder. He looked very brave and fearless. When he looked up and saw the cold guns in the hands of Jiang Si and the others, his heart suddenly turned cold. He hurriedly raised his hands and shouted in panic: "We have no bad intentions, we just heard the explosion and came to see! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

Jiang Si didn't see any malice in Qiu Lei's eyes, and didn't want to communicate with him any further. "Get lost!"

The person who spoke was a woman, which meant that she had a very high status on these ships.

Seeing that Jiang Si was not the kind of person who would kill innocent people, Qiu Lei suddenly had an idea. Instead of leaving, he said, "Sister! Can you take us in? We are young and strong, and can do anything. Just give us a room to live in, and we can find food on our own."

The reed fields are too damp. After living in high-rise buildings, who would want to live in a straw hut in the wilderness?

What's more, there are many unknown dangers at night.

If I could get on the boat, at least I wouldn't have to worry about the roof leaking, or a snake appearing on my body while I was sleeping, or even getting robbed and having even my underwear stolen when I didn't have much belongings to begin with.

Jingjing will definitely be happy too.

There were ten of them in total, and Jiang Si and his group were only eight.

Letting them on board is like inviting a wolf into the house.

Jiang Si lowered his eyes, "Bang--" a shot was fired at Qiu Lei's feet, "Get out--"

This was the second time Jiang Si had said "get out!", and he seemed like he would shoot them all if they said it again.

Qiu Lei immediately got scared and ran away with his back hunched and his butt as if it was on fire.

Afraid that he would run too slowly, Jiang Si hit him from behind.

Qiu Lei and his men completely disappeared into the reed marsh. Jiang Chengwu then said worriedly, "We're docked here. These people will definitely come back."

Jiang Si looked at the gradually receding flood water and sighed, "We can only be on guard." Even if they left here, there was no guarantee that they would encounter more people.

Deer meat is very nutritious, so Shen Baoying didn't dare to let everyone eat too much at once. She cooked a few blood sausages and made several dishes, but the portions were not particularly large.

But the taste was really good, and everyone finished their meals.

Jiang Si ate too much and came out to digest the food. The sky was full of stars and the shining Milky Way was so beautiful.

She was enjoying the breeze when Qin Shen suddenly came out and stared at her for several seconds before speaking: "I have a stiff neck. Can you give me a massage?"
