The sun gradually rises.
Qi Pan, Eleven, and Twelve walked into the forest.
Twelve was carrying a backpack on his back and an axe on his waist.
The trees here are particularly tall.
The branches are crisscrossed and the green leaves on top are lush.
A little sunlight shines through the gaps between the layers of leaves.
Qi Pan didn't walk fast.
She just came here to take a look around and see if she could pick up some wild game or fruits.
There's no need to rush.
Eleven and Twelve, who were following on both sides of her, also slowed down their pace.
While following Qi Pan, he stopped and walked, and kept an eye out at all times to prevent any danger around him.
Qi Pan carried a small basket in his hand, which contained some wild fruits he had picked.
It looks red and small, about the size of a little finger.
I have tasted it and it is sweet.
"Eleven, do you think there might be pheasants in here?"
Qi Pan walked carefully while looking up and around.
There are weeds and branches everywhere.
There was also a thick layer of leaves under my feet.
Eleven, who was walking behind Qi Pan, said, "It's hard to say."
"If I'm lucky, I might even be able to catch a pheasant."
Few people come to this forest.
It's normal to have some wild rabbits, pheasants, etc.
The three changed their formation, with Twelve leading the way.
He spoke as he pulled at the grass in front of him.
"There's more game in these mountains than just pheasants. There might even be snakes."
"This snake tastes good whether it's grilled, boiled, or fried."
"Too."
Qi Pan said, "Hey, Twelve, can we eat this poisonous snake?"
"Is the snake's venom poisonous only in its fangs, or is it poisonous all over its body?"
I really don't know what this prayer is.
She only knew that non-venomous snake meat was edible.
I have never seen anyone eat poisonous animals, such as cobra.
Um?
A poisonous snake?
Twelve said, "Of course you can eat it."
"You're right about one thing. The venom glands and teeth of venomous snakes are poisonous and cannot be eaten."
"As long as the teeth and venom glands are cleaned, the meat of venomous snakes can be eaten."
He once followed His Majesty on a mission and was so hungry that he even ate a silver ring snake raw.
"I see."
Qi Pan said, "Before, I thought that poisonous snakes were poisonous throughout and could not be eaten."
"By the way, you're walking in front, so watch your step."
"Don't get bit by a snake."
Twelve responded, "Okay, you should pay more attention too."
The group walked further and further away in the mountains and forests.
There was only the sound of the wind and the occasional bird calls in my ears.
Eleven, who was walking behind, saw some movement in the bamboo forest not far away, and he asked Qi Pan.
"Sir, would you like to eat bamboo rat?"
"How about I catch you two bamboo rats and fry them for dinner?"
"OK."
Qi Pan said, "Then go catch a few and we'll fry them for dinner."
"Leave two more for your boss to try when he comes."
"good!"
Eleven whispered, "Then you wait here while I go catch a few fatter ones."
After leaving Twelve to protect Qi Pan, Eleven quietly approached the bamboo forest.
There are rustling sounds everywhere in this bamboo forest, and there are many bamboo rats hiding there.
Maybe they don’t encounter any danger in their daily lives, so these bamboo rats are very brave.
When they saw Eleven approaching, they didn't run away, but just squatted there stupidly.
While chewing on bamboo shoots and tender bamboo, he looked at Eleven.
Eleven was not polite and picked out a few of the fattest ones.
I tied the bamboo rats together with the vines I picked up and strung them together.
"Squeak? Squeak! Squeak!!"
The bamboo rats were dumbfounded.
What is this big guy doing?
Why catch them?
Eleven returned to Qi Pan and Twelve, carrying a string of plump bamboo rats.
"Look, sir, these bamboo rats are very fat."
"It will be delicious if you stir-fry it tonight!"
After saying that, Eleven put a bunch of bamboo rats into the backpack that Twelve was carrying.
He grabbed a handful of hay and covered the bamboo rat.
Qipan said, "Let's go."
The three of them continued to move forward.
Half an hour later.
"Woo woo~"
“Ouch~”
Qi Pan suddenly heard a faint cry and she stopped in her tracks.
"Eleven and Twelve, did you hear anything?"
"What's that?"
Twelve frowned and pointed in a direction, "The sound came from over there."
"I heard the sound of some animal."
"Go and take a look!"
Qi Pan said this and walked over there.
Eleven and Twelve followed Qi Pan to protect her safety.
After pushing aside a patch of dense grass, Qi Pan saw two tigers lying inside.
A full grown tiger of enormous size.
No.
It should be said that it was a tiger's corpse.
Yes.
This tiger is dead.
As she approached, she smelled a foul odor.
There were many flies and insects flying over the tiger's body.
Some flies even flew onto the little tiger nestling in the arms of the tiger's corpse.
It seemed to be a tiger cub that was born not long ago.
It's so skinny and small, its eyes aren't even open yet.
The tiger cub was breathing weakly, and occasionally let out a roar or two.
Very small and thin.
Qi Pan stuffed the small basket in his hand into Eleven's hands.
He walked lightly to the tiger's body.
Patted the tiger cub's head.
“Ouch~”
The tiger cub sensed a strange presence approaching and moved closer to its mother in fear.
Qi Pan turned around and waved to Twelve.
Twelve came over and Qi Pan said softly, "Bring the kettle over here."
They took some water with them before setting off, putting it in their backpacks.
Twelve handed over a water bag.
Qi Pan opened the cork and poured a little water into his palm.
He reached his hand over the tiger cub's mouth and touched its mouth with his palm.
Seems to have sensed something.
"Ouch?"
The tiger cub tentatively stuck out its tongue and licked it gently.
The next moment, he sped up his licking movements.
After Qi Pan added water several times, the tiger cub finally stopped licking the water.
Qipan reached out again and touched its head.
This time, it didn't hide. Instead, it stuck out its tongue and licked Qi Pan's hand.
Qipan picked it up.
Only then did they discover that there were many white maggots crawling on the tiger cub's body!
