Compared to Sang Ning's smooth sailing and enjoyment, Mu Tao and his group's mundane life, and Philoya's successful team-up with Louis, were suffering terribly at this moment.
She looked at Louis, who was covered in soot, and then at the charred rabbit, and roared through gritted teeth, "Louis, you good-for-nothing bastard, I told you I don't need your help! I don't need your help!"
"Look at the help you've given us, you've only made things worse."
Louis felt wronged, "I was just worried you wouldn't be able to handle it all."
Fimmonloa wanted to punch someone, but she knew it would be pointless now. The main reason was that she was too hungry, so hungry that she was dizzy and had no strength to argue with Louis.
She clutched her stomach and said, "What do we do now? There's no dinner."
Louis picked up the charred rabbit, which was emitting a strange smell, and chuckled, "Actually, I think this rabbit can still be saved."
"How do we save him?"
Philoia looked at him skeptically, "You managed to ruin a perfectly good rabbit like this. It's all black now. Are you sure you have a way to save it?"
"I have no choice."
Louis was also frank, ignoring Philoya's disdainful look, and said bluntly, "Sang Ning definitely has a way."
"What does Ningning owe you?"
Fimmonloa was about to lose her temper. She glanced at the sky and said helplessly, "Don't you even know what time it is? Is it really okay to bother her?"
"If we don't disturb her, we'll just go hungry. Are you sure you don't want me to bother her?"
Fimonloa immediately looked conflicted. Her audience couldn't stand it anymore and told her to feel free to disturb them. Sang Ning had just finished eating a delicious roasted meat and was now enjoying a fragrant honeysuckle tea in her bamboo cup.
Philodia, "..."
Sang Ning also ate rabbit. You could say they're teammates, they're so in sync.
This is why Sang Ning didn't know what she was thinking. If he did, he would always say, "Sister, that's not how you use that word."
Unfortunately, she didn't know this, so she was met with Fimonloa's request to teach her how to make the already ruined rabbit edible.
Sang Ning paused for a moment, then went into her live stream room and looked around but couldn't find a rabbit. There was a charcoal-like thing that looked like it had a head and four legs.
Upon seeing this thing, Sang Ning swallowed hard and said incredulously, "Don't tell me that charcoal-like thing is your and Louis's dinner."
Fimmonloa nodded with a bitter face, while Louis looked up at the sky and down, feeling guilty and avoiding looking at Sang Ning.
Sang Ning then realized, "It was Louis's doing."
"Yes."
Fimonloa nodded and complained, "You have no idea how infuriating today was. I was roasting my rabbit perfectly fine, and this guy somehow found a dry piece of firewood and brought it back."
"Then he complained that I was roasting too slowly, saying that according to his calculations, the fire of kerosene wood is stronger than that of ordinary wood, and roasting rabbits with kerosene wood can speed up the cooking of rabbit meat."
At this point, Fimmonloa shed tears of sorrow, choking back sobs as she said, "I was such an idiot, I believed him, and now I'm a perfectly healthy rabbit turned into this charred mess."
"But we have no other prey. We only caught one rabbit today, and if we can't save it, we'll go hungry tonight."
That was so heartbreaking that it made Sang Ning feel a little sad.
At the same time, he was also quite disappointed in Louis.
But now is not the time to talk about Louis; the immediate priority is to teach them how to deal with this rabbit.
"First, make a cut on the rabbit's leg so I can see if the rabbit is just charred on the surface, or if it's charred inside as well."
"oh."
With a backhand slash, Phylloa stabbed the rabbit's leg. Then, her expression changed, and tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "It's hopeless. This rabbit is truly beyond saving."
As she spoke, she shoved the rabbit leg right in front of Sang Ning's eyes so she could see it.
Sang Ning looked at it carefully, and then she fell silent.
She really couldn't save it; the inside was charred. She knew how dangerous kerosene was; during the previous cold wave, they relied on kerosene and the charcoal they collected to keep warm.
Compared to ordinary wood and charcoal, which are not durable and burn for long, kerosene wood is a natural, long-lasting material for heating and lighting.
It's not just long-burning, it's incredibly long-burning. The firewood, as long as her arm, wouldn't burn out even after a whole night.
Even if you increase the price of other types of wood tenfold, it might not be enough to burn, let alone have more than you can burn.
But oilwood did it, but that's not the point. The point is that oilwood has a high and stable temperature.
However, this is not a reason why kerosene wood roasted the rabbit until it was charred inside and out.
Sang Ning asked, puzzled, "How long did Louis roast this rabbit with kerosene?"
Fimonloa shook her head. "I don't know. He said he would help, and I thought roasting a rabbit wasn't too difficult, so I left the task of roasting the rabbit to him and went to pick raspberries."
"When I came back, the rabbit was already in bad shape. I tried to save it, but it was too late. In the end, I could only watch helplessly as the rabbit turned into a charred mess."
Sang Ning said "Oh," and asked Louis, "You should know how long it's been baking, right?"
"More than ten minutes, I don't remember the exact time, but I'm sure it was only more than ten minutes."
Almost the instant he finished speaking, Louis's audience gave the exact time: eighteen minutes.
Sang Ning fell silent. He had known about the power of fire oil wood for a long time, but because the temperature was too high for cooking, they used it for lighting and heating.
However, the fact that a rabbit could be roasted into a charred mess inside and out in just eighteen minutes was still a bit hard for her to accept.
Looking at her dirty face and the pitiful look on her face from hunger, Sang Ning sighed. "This rabbit is really beyond saving, but there is a plant behind you that can serve as your main food. I think you can use this to stave off hunger for now."
Um?
Is there any food?
Phylloa's eyes lit up instantly. "Sure."
She's starving. She'll be happy as long as she has something to eat to fill her stomach. Whether it's meat or not doesn't matter; her immediate priority is to fill her stomach.
Otherwise, when they meet other contestants at dawn, they won't even have the strength to fight.
She's here to eliminate people, not to be eliminated.
It is important to distinguish between primary and secondary matters.
Louis was also hungry, and when he heard that Sang Ning had food, he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"
"The plant with green, inward-curling leaves about ten meters behind you is called taro, and it's edible."
"Go dig."
"Okay!"
The irresistible allure of food caused Philodia and Louis to suddenly rush towards the taro like silly huskies.
Then, excavation began under Sang Ning's guidance.
Digging taro isn't a highly skilled job, but the two of them, who were seeing taro for the first time and digging it for the first time, still managed to break a few taro roots.
But they're all meant for eating, so if they break, so be it, it doesn't matter.
