Chapter 76 Danger!
The chicken lived up to her expectations.
Mu Xi took the roasted chicken off the stick, placed it on a broad leaf, and cut it with a knife.
The sharp blade cuts through the skin and the juice in the chicken flows out.
Mu Xi cut off the chicken legs and wings, and cut the remaining chicken body into two halves.
Each person got a chicken leg and a chicken wing, and the chicken body was given to the paste and snow cakes.
Zhao Yeqing took out salt from his backpack, pinched it with his fingertips and sprinkled it evenly on the surface of the chicken.
She took a bite while it was still hot. Her teeth crunched through the crispy outer skin, and the sweet gravy inside flowed onto the tip of her tongue. It had only a slight salty taste, which made the sweetness even more prominent.
The meat was fresh and tender, and there was no need to chew it carefully, as it seemed to have no meat fibers. If she hadn't shot it herself, she would have thought it was a chicken that had just come out to work before it reached adulthood.
The pheasant is not big, this one weighs only about one pound, and I finished the chicken leg in just three or two bites.
Her eyes turned to the yam next to her.
The starch content of wild yam is higher than that of cultivated yam. After being roasted to remove the moisture, the yam looks like it has been sharpened, and the cross-section is full of powdery texture.
Mu Xi pulled a piece off, tasted it and said, "It's ready to eat."
Zhao Yeqing took the yam handed to him by Mu Xi with the leaf containing the chicken wings, blew away the heat, and took a bite.
The taste is completely different from that of cultivated yam, it is powdery and sticky, like eating a combination of yam and chestnut sweet potato.
Zhao Yeqing took a bite of yam and a bite of chicken wing, and was extremely satisfied.
The starch content is high enough, and you will feel full after eating a few pieces of yam.
After resting for a while, the two prepared to wash up and rest.
The sticky grease on your hands can be removed by rubbing with soapberry. Your body will be sticky after a busy day.
Mu Xi turned and walked into the shelter, with his back to her, "You wash first."
The shelter was facing the water source, and Mu Xi sat inside with his back to her.
Zhao Yeqing's face turned red.
She thought about not washing at all, but if she waited until tomorrow to wash all the sweat on her body, she would probably feel stinky.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't turn around."
She thought Mu Xi would mock her and say that she was overthinking.
Unexpectedly, I saw him sitting upright with his back, and he only responded with a low, "Yeah."
Zhao Yeqing took off his clothes without hesitation, turned his back to Mu Xi and started taking a shower.
She thought that out of sight, out of mind, she would pretend that Mu Xi was not around and that she was just trying to cover up the truth.
But while washing, I remembered that there was someone behind me, and I couldn't help but look back to see if he was looking at her.
Mu Xi sat upright, not moving at all.
Zhao Yeqing quickly finished his shower, then he exhaled and walked over, "I'm done...you go ahead."
Mu Xi turned around and walked out, expressionless and without even looking at her, he took his change of clothes and went to take a shower.
Seeing that he ignored him, as if this was the most normal thing, Zhao Yeqing relaxed a little. He sat in the shelter with his back to Mu Xi, and dried his hair with a towel.
Huhu was sleeping soundly beside him, and Xuebing was lying outside the shelter, watching Mu Xi go over to take a shower.
The little head tilted, as if curious about why this person walked with the same hands and feet.
After taking a shower, they washed the clothes they were going to wear today and hung them by the fire so they would be dry by tomorrow morning.
As usual, Mu Xi went to bed first and got up at one o'clock in the morning to take over the shift.
Zhao Yeqing asked him to sleep a little longer. He had only slept for less than three hours, but Mu Xi refused and said he had slept enough.
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yeqing got up and asked Mu Ximi to wait for a while before setting off.
Mu Xi did not refuse this time and lay down on the sleeping bag in the shelter.
As it got warmer in the past few months, there was no more fog in the mountains, and the morning light filled the woods at six o'clock.
Zhao Yeqing filled a pot with water and brought it to a boil. He sprinkled a handful of rice in it, cut off a piece of yam left over from yesterday, peeled it, cut it into pieces, and threw it in. He covered the pot and cooked it.
The yam porridge had just been cooked when Mu Xi opened his eyes and went to wash up.
After breakfast, Mu Xi planned today's route.
He took a branch and started drawing on the ground.
"We are now at the foot of the cliff, right here. If we walk two kilometers west, we will reach the village. As long as we don't encounter cracks and there is a water source in the village, we will stay there first and wait until the weather is over before going back. We will leave the chickens at home for now. If there are no chickens, we will collect the supplies we can carry and go back home."
If there is no water source, it is better to stay in the mountains where the temperature is lower.
Zhao Yeqing had no objection and nodded in agreement.
To the west is the direction where the stream flows downstream.
The two men put out the fire, packed up their things and set off, walking west along the stream.
Before they had walked a kilometer, their hopes were dashed.
A dark, bottomless crack cut off the stream and appeared before the two men.
The crack cut off the land in front of them, and they dared not get close and retreated step by step.
It's so dark that it's scary.
The two looked at each other, and Mu Xi asked, "Should we take a detour or go back?"
Zhao Yeqing was unwilling to go back and wait for death. She looked at the width of the crack and found that it was not exactly the same. It became narrower as it extended to the north.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Go around!"
This crack is not like the one that blocked the main road before. This one looks like a branch, only ten meters wide, so maybe it can be bypassed.
The two turned around and headed north, intending to bypass the crack.
Going west is going down the mountain, and going north is going up the mountain.
Climbing the mountain requires clearing the road, which is not easy.
Because it was near the crack, many trees had fallen down, and the road was full of broken fir branches and fir leaves that had become sharper after being dried were everywhere.
The two walked for nearly two days before they finally got around the crack.
As it was getting dark, they decided to rest for a night and then head west.
Suddenly, Huhu and Xuebing started howling, with their backs raised high.
Zhao Yeqing's heart tightened and he was about to ask what was going on when he was suddenly blocked by Mu Xi behind him.
Mu Xi's face was more solemn than ever before, and he said quickly, "Quick! Climb the tree!"
Zhao Yeqing knew that something must be coming, so she turned around and tried to climb the tree behind her.
Just as I was about to turn around, I saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be glowing in the grass.
She was not frightened to the point of stopping, but her desire to survive made her climb up impatiently!
As soon as she moved, the glowing eyes pounced towards her, and Mu Xi raised her hand and shot it.
Zhao Yeqing didn't dare to be distracted to see what was going on. She had only one thought in mind, which was to climb up and hide herself safely, and not overestimate her own abilities and hold others back.
After she climbed up the tree and sat down, she realized that her hands and feet were weak. She hugged the tree trunk tightly and looked down.
The animal moved very quickly just now, and Mu Xi's gun missed it, as it flew away to avoid it.
Walking out from the shadows, Zhao Yeqing saw its appearance clearly.
It is one meter long, with four slender legs, yellow-gray fur with black stripes, and its mouth is slightly open with saliva and fangs exposed as it growls.
Zhao Yeqing's legs were shaking, it was a striped hyena!
Hyenas that can kill rhinos and chew bones as if they were potato chips!
The point is that this thing uses extremely despicable methods to hunt.
It! Dig the anus!
