Chapter 63 Searching for Meteorites on the Mountain



While everyone here is eating meat, several older women over there have already started making another dish—Big Plate Chicken.

Heat a large, clean wok, add oil, then add a handful of rock sugar. Stir continuously with a spoon until the sugar syrup turns reddish-brown. Pour in the chopped chicken pieces and stir-fry quickly until the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the caramelized sugar. Remove from the wok and serve.

Add some more oil to the pot, then add scallions, ginger, and star anise, stir-fry until fragrant, add a spoonful of fermented bean paste, stir-fry until the oil turns red, and then add the chicken pieces.

The older sister called out to Feng Xuanlang, and a moment later Feng Xuanlang went back into the house and brought out a case of beer.

Five bottles were handed to the eldest sister, and the rest were shared among everyone using disposable cups.

The eldest sister poured all the beer into a large pot, added half a basin of water to cover the chicken pieces, and added salt, pepper, soy sauce, and light soy sauce. She then covered the pot and cooked for 10 minutes.

Once the time is up, add garlic and potatoes, cook for another 10 minutes, then add green and red bell peppers and onions, reduce the sauce over high heat, then turn off the heat and pour it into a large bowl.

Once the rice was brought inside, everyone gathered around. Several large rice cookers were laid out on the floor, and anyone who wanted some could get some.

The man was already sitting on the ground, and the beer in his hand had long been replaced with baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Seeing that they were each drinking half a glass of beer very carefully, as if afraid of finishing it all, Yuewu went back to the tunnel and brought back a case of Dukang liquor, so that they could enjoy it to their heart's content. As the saying goes, eating meat and drinking wine in big gulps is what makes it so enjoyable!

Before long, someone over there was already boasting to the heavens.

The women couldn't help but laugh and complain. There was also fruit beer next to them, and the little girl was drinking it with a smile on her face. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much!

The dinner party didn't end until very late, and the older women had already finished all the cleanup work.

Yuewu returned to the tunnel to see if Xiaoyi had woken up, but she was still fast asleep.

It turns out that it wasn't as simple as Xiaoyi said, that a good night's sleep would fix it.

The little octopus stayed by Xiao Yi's side, pointing one of its tentacles at him and saying, "He's very uncomfortable, I can feel it."

Seeing Xiao Yi like this made Yue Wu feel very sad, so she made a decision: she opened the scroll panel, clicked on the meteorite distribution map, and checked the recent meteorites.

The nearest one is in the east of the city, 8.6 kilometers away.

Because of the torrential rain, the water level in many places is now waist-deep. In addition, the dense population makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the meteorite, so Yuewu does not plan to go there.

Secondly, the two closest ones are in Moyushan Mountain behind me, which is 13 and 16 kilometers away respectively.

Since it's inconvenient to go to the city, let's look for it in the mountains.

Although the road will definitely be difficult to travel, with my own equipment and no complicated buildings blocking the way, it should be easier to find.

Le Wu began preparing the equipment she would need for the mountain climb: trekking poles, glasses, thin gloves, knee pads, headlamp, flashlight, and she even found a pair of rubber shoes.

After doing all that, Yuewu washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Yue Wu got up quickly, packed her things, and left the house in just 10 minutes.

Just then, they ran into Feng Xuanlang and his group, and decided to try their luck again, catch some chickens, ducks and pigs to make jerky, and take the opportunity to stock up on meat.

Yue Wu didn't tell them where she was really going, only that she wanted to go out for a walk, as she felt uncomfortable staying indoors all the time.

Everyone thought it made sense; this girl rarely went out, and they were worried she'd get bored and restless.

Feng Xuanlang simply told them, "Be careful," and then they drove away.

Le Wu walked along the road in the opposite direction for a while, then turned and headed into the mountains.

Sure enough, the mountain road was really difficult to walk on in the heavy rain. It was slippery and slippery, which directly trained the strength of my thighs.

You have to stop and scrape the mud off the soles of your shoes every now and then, otherwise it's hard to lift your legs when they're heavy.

Hiking poles are meant to both aid in climbing and constantly clear the way.

The clothes inside the raincoat were already soaked with sweat. Le Wu was getting more and more tired as she walked, but when she thought of Xiao Yi, who had always been there for her, still sleeping soundly, she was filled with energy again.

This is also a great opportunity to improve myself.

Yuewu would only drink some spiritual spring water when she was completely exhausted, so that her body could recover quickly.

What she didn't know was how much of a surprise this method would bring her in the future.

After walking for more than three hours, Yuewu arrived near the meteorite marked on the scroll panel.

Further in, Yuewu suddenly discovered that three pigs were attacking a squirrel, and upon closer inspection, there was a small squirrel lying on the ground.

The three pigs must have been starving in the mountains these past few days, and since they couldn't be fed every day like before, they wanted to eat meat and chose to eat small animals.

The scene was extremely incongruous. To the squirrel, the three pigs, each weighing over 200 pounds, were enormous, yet she, as the mother, stood firmly in front of the baby squirrel.

Music and dance were touched, and a protective instinct arose deep within them.

The strongest of the three pigs turned around and made an attacking motion towards Yuewu, trying to scare her away.

Unfortunately, the music and dance didn't buy into that; they showed no intention of stopping and continued to move forward.

Feeling provoked, Big Pig charged straight at Yuewu, grunting as he did so, presumably cursing.

How can I tolerate this music and dance?

She had originally planned to receive the item directly into her spatial storage once she got close, but now she wanted to teach this pig a lesson first.

Just as the pig was about to reach her, only two or three meters away from Lewu, Lewu suddenly produced a golf club and swung it at the pig's head.

Now, Yuewu's speed and force are two to three times that of an adult man, so you can imagine what will happen to Dazhuangzhu.

It fell straight to one side, its four legs stiff, and its body twitched occasionally.

The sight startled the other two pigs, and even the little squirrel stared at them, motionless.

Without hesitation, Yuewu immediately raised her hand and caught the pig. She didn't want it to run away after it recovered, so she caught it first.

When the pig disappeared, the animals on the other side were even more shocked.

One of the pigs started turning around to look for its companion, but couldn't find it. So it angrily squealed, as if it were a command, and then both pigs attacked at the same time, rushing towards Yuewu.

This time, Yuewu didn't intend to resort to violence; instead, she simply stored the music in her private space, hoping to find peace of mind out of sight.

Seeing that no pigs were around her anymore, the mother squirrel immediately picked up her baby squirrel and climbed up a tree.

After safely hiding the squirrel in its burrow, they even picked some leaves to cover it.

Watching the squirrel mother's actions, Yuewu was deeply moved. Even in such an environment, she tried her best to protect her children.

Yuewu filled a large bag with dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts that she had collected from the supermarket and placed it under the tree.

Because of the heavy rain, Lewu deliberately chose small packaging bags to prevent them from getting damp and moldy.

After finishing the dance, the squirrel turned and left. The mother squirrel came down, saw the bag, sniffed it, and immediately realized what it was. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Watching Yue Wu's retreating figure, she resolutely followed, wanting to repay her kindness in her own way...
