Chapter 185 Return to the End of the World 15
Tang Yun fell off the cliff!
Fortunately, there was a platform hidden under the cliff, on which grew a thick layer of Elsholtzia ciliata and a layer of mountain fallen leaves, so he did not suffer any serious injury from the fall.
Lin Xing and his team found her while chasing a wild deer. When she was found, Tang Yun had been frozen to death by the cold mountain wind. Although her arms and legs were still intact, she started to feel hot as soon as she got in the car, so Gao Lang drove the first car in a hurry to the base.
"This matter is not that simple," Lin Xing held Chen Qian's hand, the temperature dropping again in the night, "Not to mention the current protection policy for women in the base, how many people dare to go against the wind and attack her? The man Chu Mu who fell in love with Tang Yun is the son of General Chu. Who would be so stupid as to touch the daughter-in-law of the Chu family who has not yet married into the family?"
He still chose such a crude method and left the scene without even confirming the body.
Both poisoning and stabbing were done quickly and efficiently. It is more like the murderer's impromptu impulse than murder.
Chen Qian frowned: "Tang Yun has only been at the base for a short time, and he has been living alone before, so he shouldn't have made any deadly enemies."
"Could it be that her relationship with General Chu got in the way of someone?"
Lin Xing clicked his tongue and said, "Who knows? But think about it, why would she go to such a remote mountain alone with someone? This person must be someone she trusts very much."
He looked around carefully at that time and found no signs of fighting near the cliff. The murderer must have taken advantage of her unguarded moment.
When Chen Qian lay in bed at night, she still felt uneasy in her heart. It seemed that the story was heading towards a post-apocalyptic version of Cinderella and the Prince. She didn't know who the vicious female supporting role was, and the subsequent plot development was really heart-wrenching.
The person beside him tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Lin Xing grabbed him with his long arms and held him in his arms, patting him and coaxing him: "Think about it tomorrow. Go to sleep first. Can you hear any noise outside?"
The whistling wind made the iron gate in the yard creak.
Well, this is just treating yourself like a child.
Chen Qian lay in his arms, listening to the "thump, thump, thump" of her heartbeat. Somehow her heart calmed down and she fell asleep.
The next day, soldiers wearing epaulettes came to the house to investigate.
The couple looked at each other and were secretly shocked. What happened?
So he recounted in detail how he went up the mountain yesterday, how he chased the wild deer, and how he found Tang Yun.
Chen Qian hurriedly poured a cup of hot ginger soup, which was left over from yesterday, and asked, "Comrade, how is Tang Yun...the girl who fell off the cliff yesterday?"
How do you know him?
Yes, we were brought back to the base by my husband in the mountains.
The person who came to investigate was a soldier about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked not even as old as Lin Xing. After hearing this, he looked up at Chen Qian and took note of the situation. In the end, he did not take the cup of ginger soup.
He said with a straight face, "I am a regular soldier. I cannot take anything from the people."
Then he softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, this is just a routine check. Miss Tang is pregnant, and the attack on a pregnant woman has alarmed the higher-ups. She is still unconscious in the hospital. If you want to see her, you have to go to the hospital and make an appointment in advance."
Having said that, the man straightened his back, turned around and left the yard.
Chen Qian was left looking at the undelivered Jiang Tang in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This was really...
What the hell! Lin Xing took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Hiss, the weather was getting colder and colder. While they were talking, the ginger soup had already cooled down.
The couple returned to the house. The wild animals they had hunted yesterday were still placed under the eaves of the kitchen. The sun was shining brightly today, so they had to get them out no matter what.
Smoked meat is an indispensable delicacy in winter. A long horizontal pole was erected in the yard. A deer with broken horns and two wild sheep were hung in the air by their necks and front hooves. Lin Xing carefully cut a small hole in the deer's chest with a sharp knife, and then gently tore open a small space with his hands. The thin and sharp blade was inserted into the gap between the meat and the skin. He pushed down along the skin with his fingers, and the knife in his right hand also went down to cut the genitals of the wild deer. The whole action was smooth and flowing, and soon a deer skin was peeled off. [Note 1]
Chen Qian watched without blinking an eye. To be honest, the bloody deer hanging on the wooden pole was not really aesthetically pleasing, but the man's serious profile was particularly attractive.
Lin Xing put the deerskin aside and carefully skinned the two goats. These wild animals were particularly large, and the skins he had smeared with salt and spread out took up half of the yard.
He then gutted the skinned wild deer and sheep, scraped out some useless internal organs, chopped off the limbs with a machete, and then cut them in half along the spine. Two complete steaks were placed on the wooden board.
To make bacon, you need to build a bacon shed first, and the wood that Chen Qian asked him to bring back yesterday came in handy.
He selected four logs of the same thickness to form a square and nailed the four corners of the square into the soil. Lin Xing shook it with his hands to make sure that the texture was fixed before he nailed the remaining thinner wood horizontally between two logs. He placed them one after another and soon formed a wooden wall. He then nailed the remaining two sides in turn, and finally nailed the top half of the last side, leaving a height that a person could enter by bending over. Lin Xing then installed a small wooden door and finally built a roof on the cabin, and the bacon hut was ready.
While Lin Xing was building the wooden house outside the yard, Chen Qian was also not idle. She first used a knife to pick out the deer bones and sheep bones. These large bones were full of bone marrow, which was the best tonic for making soup on snowy days.
Cut the rest of the meat into long strips along the grain, sprinkle with salt and place on the wooden board, gently massaging each piece of meat to ensure that the salt is absorbed so that it will be more flavorful when smoked.
About two hours later, Chen Qian drilled small holes in the marinated meat strips, passed the woven thatched rope through them and tied a knot. After the two large pots of meat were all put on, she wiped her hands on her apron and went out to see how the hut was built.
