The thumping heartbeat became louder and louder, so loud that Wei Ling was afraid that the sound would wake up Qin Qingman. He wanted to move his body, but his arm was resting under Qin Qingman's head. If he moved, he would definitely wake Qin Qingman.
Wei Ling's breathing started to get heavier.
Just at this moment Qin Qingman moved.
Wei Ling was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He didn't know how to face Qin Qingman.
As a result, Qin Qingman just turned over slightly but did not wake up.
Blinking his eyes, Wei Ling found that Qin Qingman's body was some distance away from him, and her head was away from his arms. It could be said that if he evacuated carefully now, he would not wake Qin Qingman up at all.
With a sigh of relief, Wei Ling quickly and carefully moved his body away from Qin Qingman.
A few minutes later, Wei Ling got up. He did not go out immediately, but put all his cotton clothes on Qin Qingman, added some firewood to the fire in the fire pit, and waited until the temperature in the shed rose a little before he carefully opened the door and went out.
As soon as he closed the door of the shed, Wei Ling let out a deep breath of tension and then laughed.
The clear smile is particularly bright and innocent.
Wei Ling heaved a sigh of relief, and Qin Qingman in the shed slowly loosened her clenched fists and opened her eyes.
Looking at the empty shed, she suddenly covered her face with her hands.
In just a few seconds, my face became extremely hot and as red as a persimmon hanging high on a branch in winter.
Qin Qingman's heartbeat started to quicken after she realized it belatedly.
Then it reached the frequency that Wei Ling's heart was beating at before.
She was actually awake when she moved just now. The moment she regained consciousness, she realized that her and Wei Ling's postures were wrong. She may have fallen into each other's arms because she was too comfortable or looking for a sense of security during sleep.
Before going to bed last night, she swore that she would not bully the other person, but she ended up taking advantage of the other person at night. How could she dare to face Wei Ling?
If you don't dare to face it, you can only pretend to sleep.
Pretending to be asleep had to be technically sophisticated so as not to let the other party notice. So the moment Qin Qingman regained consciousness, she very carefully and naturally turned over and left Wei Ling's arms, so that neither of them would have to face the embarrassment when they woke up.
As she thought about it, Qin Qingman, who was covering her face, suddenly laughed.
In fact, she and Wei Ling are about to get married, and it is really rare that she can still be so youthful and embarrassed at this time.
The good mood filled Qin Qingman's heart with sweet anticipation.
But what she didn't know was that Wei Ling had already known that she was pretending to sleep.
People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, and the breathing sounds when asleep and awake are different, so Wei Ling had already noticed that Qin Qingman was pretending to sleep, but both of them were embarrassed and ashamed, so they were tolerant and supportive of each other.
Outside the shed, Wei Ling had no intention of walking far. He originally wanted to do some boxing to stretch his body, but just after he finished washing up, he saw Xiao Hei walking towards him with a proud step.
This was the first time Xiao Hei took the initiative to come to him.
Confused, Wei Ling did not follow Xiao Hei right away, but went back to the shed and knocked on the door. After knocking three times, he took the initiative to explain to Qin Qingman in the shed: "Qingman, Xiao Hei is here, he may have something to ask us."
Qin Qingman, who had already gotten up, quickly responded, "Give me three minutes, I'll take care of it right away."
There was an iron pot on the campfire, and the snow in the pot melted into warm water. Qin Qingman quickly washed up and opened the door of the shed.
"Let's go." She thought something had happened to Heilang, which was why she was so anxious.
Facing Qin Qingman who hurried out, Wei Ling could tell her mood at a glance and explained, "Xiao Hei's wife is fine. Xiao Hei is not in a hurry at all. I guess he wants to show off something to me."
Based on his understanding of Xiao Hei, if something really happened to Xiao Hei's wife, that guy would have been howling from afar, instead of showing off in front of him with a smug look on his face, and even now he has the leisure time to roll around in the flowers!
After hearing Wei Ling's explanation, Qin Qingman saw Xiao Hei with his fur all messed up.
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's walk slowly and take a look at the surrounding scenery." As Wei Ling spoke, he naturally smoothed a strand of Qin Qingman's hair that fell by her ear, and then took Qin Qingman's hand.
Holding hands again, there was less strangeness and a touch of sweetness in both of their hearts.
“Ouch—”
Xiao Hei, who had been waiting for a while, looked up from the flowers and saw the two humans still lounging. He became impatient, rushed over, nudged the two of them with his head, then led the way with his head held high.
Looking at Xiao Hei like this, Wei Ling and Qin Qingman both laughed.
It seems that Xiao Hei's wife is indeed fine, otherwise Xiao Hei would not have such an expression.
The two men and the wolf walked at a moderate pace. As they walked, Wei Ling's expression changed. He guessed where Xiao Hei might be going.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, they arrived at a woodland not far from the lake.
Because this place is close to the lake, the snow on the ground has long since melted into the ground, and many green lichens have appeared on the ground. The emerald green is very eye-catching in the surrounding snow-covered scenery.
What is even more eye-catching is the dozen or so wolves crouching beside a dead tree.
Seeing so many wolves again, especially when so many wolves looked sideways at her at the same time, Qin Qingman subconsciously moved closer to Wei Ling.
Wei Ling seized the opportunity and grabbed Qin Qingman's waist, "Don't be afraid."
Qin Qingman, who was not afraid but blushed slightly: ...
"Awooo——" Xiao Hei, who had been walking in front of Wei Ling and the others, suddenly roared towards the sky. The roar was long and high, with a lingering murderous aura.
Even Qin Qingman, who didn't spend much time with Xiao Hei, noticed something was wrong.
Holding Wei Ling's arm tightly, Qin Qingman's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"Xiao Hei and the others are hunting."
Wei Ling took Qin Qingman a little further away and looked at Xiao Hei who had already run to join the wolf pack.
"Hunting?" Qin Qingman looked around with her watery eyes, but she didn't see any prey around.
"There is a tree hole under the dead tree." Wei Ling pointed Qin Qingman in the direction.
"In the tree hole?" Qin Qingman was stunned for only a second and then her eyes widened slightly. She understood that the creature that could attract so many wolves could not be a small animal. The only possibility was what people in the Northeast often called a blind bear.
Wei Ling saw that Qin Qingman understood what he meant, and then he told her about the black bear.
After hearing this, Qin Qingman was no longer so nervous.
Don't be fooled by so many wolves surrounding the black bear. Black bears are typically thick-skinned and strong. Generally, no wolf pack is willing to provoke a black bear unless food is extremely scarce. That bear can kill a wolf with just one slap.
"I was originally thinking about how to deal with this black bear so that it would not cause trouble for the villagers, but I didn't expect Xiao Hei to be so thoughtful and help me solve it."
Wei Ling reached out and held the back of Qin Qingman's head and held her head in his arms.
At this time, a group of wolves had begun to attack the slow-moving black bear in the tree hole. The scene was brutal and bloody, and not suitable for girls to watch.
Qin Qingman knew that Wei Ling meant well and did not refuse. Instead, she found a more comfortable position and leaned her head on Wei Ling's arms, leaning the weight of her body onto him.
Holding the beauty in his arms, Wei Ling explained to Qin Qingman why Xiao Hei brought them to see the hunting scene.
Qin Qingman's life-saving grace made Xiaohei's wolf pack accept the two of them. In the eyes of these wolves, the two were companions, and companions could share prey.
When Qin Qingman heard that they could share the prey, her eyes lit up.
His mouth was also filled with salivating saliva.
Because she thought of the famous dish that became extremely famous in later generations, steamed bear paw.
She can!
Facing Qin Qingman's sparkling eyes, Wei Ling felt as if his heart was being gently fanned by Qin Qingman's long eyelashes, making him feel numb and tingling, and the numbing feeling went down his spine from top to bottom.
Just as Wei Ling was distracted, the battle between the wolves and the black bears became increasingly intense.
The majestic roars of bears and the high-pitched howls of wolves echoed in the mountains and forests, and then spread in all directions along the mountains, making the warriors who were ordered to go into the mountains to eliminate the danger pale in the face.
Although everyone had guns in their hands, both wolves and bears ran very fast, and if they slowed down a little out of fear, something might happen.
So when we heard the howling of wolves and roaring of bears, we immediately stopped where we were.
The sound was obviously a fight between wolves and bears. There was no need for them to get close for the time being. They had to wait until the fight was over.
The warriors were still able to hold their ground, but some villagers who had secretly gone up the mountain to hunt without heeding the warning were so frightened that they pissed themselves and shit their pants. They no longer cared about anything and crawled down the mountain. As soon as they entered the village, they vividly described the battle between the blind bear and the wolf pack in the mountain.
When they heard that there were not only wolves in the mountain, but also awake blind bears, all the villagers were scared and curious.
Fearing that wild beasts might come down the mountain, everyone locked their doors tightly.
Chuchu was alone at home, playing with the two geese when Li Meina, Yao Chunying and Qin Xiang sent several girls from their family over. The girls did not come to cause any damage, but to help check and repair the courtyard wall.
Wolves and blind bears appeared in the mountains. Qin Qingman was not at home, so they returned the favor by showing their goodwill.
Because Chuchu was young and still a child, the adults did not tell Chuchu about the situation in the mountains. They just helped to repair the fence of the courtyard wall and went back. They did not even enter the house to provoke Chuchu.
Holding the big white goose head, Chuchu tilted his head and he noticed something unusual.
Unfortunately, no one told him.
But children also have childish wisdom. While every household was shutting their doors, he simply climbed over the wall and went to Zhu Hongxia's house next door to eavesdrop.
Anyway, Qin Jianming and Qin Jianjun have done this many times. He is still young, just a child, and has no sense of moral guilt at all.
Sure enough, the matter that Qin Xiang and her friends had worked so hard to keep secret from Chu Chu became an open topic in Zhu Hongxia's house.
Zhu Hongxia couldn't move much yet. She lay on the bed and laughed happily. At the same time, she said whatever she wanted. "I heard that Qin Qingman went up the mountain with her man. Now there are wolves and blind bears on the mountain. I don't know if the two sides will run into each other."
"It's okay if they bump into me. It has nothing to do with our family anyway."
Qin Lei sat on the warm kang sipping his wine. A single peanut could take him a long time to chew. He had nothing to do in the winter, and he was upset because of a conflict with his two younger brothers. So he drank at home every day to relieve his boredom.
Zhu Hongxia rolled her eyes at the drunken Qin Lei, then gently kicked Qin Jianjun who was sitting at her feet, and commanded, "Go, pour me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
Qin Jianjun, who was leaning on the kang to keep warm, was originally drowsy, but was awakened by the kick. He got out of bed reluctantly to pour water for Zhu Hongxia, with his ears perked up.
He had just been dozing off and had not paid much attention to his parents' conversation, but now he was very interested.
I couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you know why my sister Qingman went up the mountain?"
"That damn girl doesn't even recognize us, why do you still call her sister? Are you a bitch?" Zhu Hongxia suddenly got furious at Qin Jianjun. She was lying on the kang with several broken ribs and couldn't move. She took out all her resentment and anger on Qin Qingman.
Qin Jianming realized that he had provoked his mother's anger and quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, I'm just used to it, don't be angry, I just heard what you said and I'm curious about why she went up the mountain. It's winter and there are no fruits or vegetables on the mountain. Why did she have to go up the mountain?"
"Who knows? I heard from someone that someone saw her skiing into the mountains with her man yesterday afternoon."
Zhu Hongxia also has her own information channels.
There are a few gossipy women in the village who love to visit other people's homes in the middle of winter. On the one hand, they can use other people's kangs, and on the other hand, they can gossip about other people's affairs to kill time. As a result, even though Zhu Hongxia's home and her two younger brothers' homes are in a mess, there are still people visiting.
These people came to tell Zhu Hongxia gossip and also to laugh at her.
Since they were all from the same group, Zhu Hongxia didn't mind and quickly got the latest news from these people.
Qin Jianjun was originally testing Zhu Hongxia's words, and now he was more concerned and asked, "Didn't he come back last night?"
He was trying to make sure whether Chuchu was really the only one in the house next door.
"She definitely hasn't come back. If she had, your third and fourth aunts would definitely not have asked a few maids to help repair the courtyard wall." Zhu Hongxia curled her lips, her eyes full of contempt, and whined, "A virgin girl has no self-respect. She doesn't come home at night, and I don't know what she's been doing. Tsk..."
"Shut up. There are so many children at home. Stop talking nonsense."
Qin Lei didn't scold Zhu Hongxia to protect Qin Qingman, but there were three unmarried children at home. It was not appropriate to say such harsh words in front of the children at home, as it might lead to bad consequences for the children.
Zhu Hongxia glanced at Qin Lei, who looked impatient, and stopped talking.
Outside the window, Chu Chu, who overheard Zhu Hongxia's family conversation, went home with puffed cheeks and angrily slammed all the doors and windows shut.
Then he paced back and forth in the hall on his short legs.
He didn't believe that anything would happen to his sister and brother-in-law in the mountains. He could tell that his brother-in-law was very capable from the fact that he killed such a big wild boar. His brother-in-law was a soldier, a soldier with a gun, and he would definitely be able to protect his sister.
With such confidence, Chuchu happily prepared food for herself.
He was alone at home, so he didn't cook anything complicated. He just cooked some corn grits porridge and stewed some cabbage with the pork head that Qin Qingman had cooked. It was enough for him to eat by himself, and it was not only delicious but also filling.
After eating, the child burped with satisfaction.
He finally realized that his second uncle's family was jealous of his sister and couldn't stand seeing their family doing well.
The days are short in winter. After eating and drinking, Chu Chu opened the window and looked outside. Seeing that there was no one in the village, she closed the window again, went to the cellar, dug out some radishes, cut them into strips and fed them to the two geese.
"Dabai, Xiaobai, you must eat well. Eat well so that you can protect me."
Chuchu talked to the two geese while reaching out to touch their heads.
After spending some time together, he and the two geese have developed a very good relationship, and the child has already regarded the two geese as his best friends.
After feeding the geese, Chuchu looked out the window again. Night was falling and Qin Qingman was nowhere to be seen in the yard.
With a sigh, the child knew that Qin Qingman might not come back tonight.
With reluctance, Chuchu neatly packed herself up, turned off the fire and rolled onto the kang. There were two blankets on the wide kang. The child first lingered in her own blanket for a long time, and finally rolled into Qin Qingman's blanket with sparkling eyes.
His sister is not at home, and he is a little scared. Well, it is very suitable for him to sleep in his sister's bed.
Thinking of this, the child not only felt more at ease, but also had a happy smile on his face. After rolling on the kang for more than half an hour, the child, who usually went to bed early, fell asleep.
The lights in the house were not turned off.
Qin Qingman was not at home, and the child was still somewhat afraid of the dark.
Just half an hour after Chuchu fell asleep, three sneaky figures appeared on the wall of his house. The three figures were divided into two groups, one group with two people and the other group with one person. Finally, the two groups collided with each other.
The moment they noticed each other, the three guys, who had covered their heads tightly to hide themselves, froze in place.
They are all from the same village. Even if their faces are covered, they can still recognize each other just by their figures.
Qin Jianjun and Liu Sangunzi both blinked fiercely.
In the end, they tacitly did not reveal each other's identities, but stretched out their hands at the same time, and the three hands overlapped together.
This is what partnership means.
Qin Qingman was not at home, but the three men, who had long been greedy for the Qin family's meat, could not resist the temptation in their stomachs and took action at this beautiful time.
"I secretly noticed that his meat was hidden in the snow near the well."
Qin Jianming looked at a corner of the Qin family's yard and swallowed hard.
"Chu Chu is at his house, there's no need to keep watch. Let's go in together and see how many we can take away depends on our abilities." Qin Jianjun suggested.
"OK."
Liu Sangunzi nodded, but he also had his own little thoughts, "Today, everyone who stole the meat relied on their own abilities. If anyone is caught later, don't give others away, otherwise I will definitely make trouble next time." He was afraid that he would be used as a scapegoat.
"Can."
Qin Jianjun was still afraid that Liu Sangunzi would be caught and betray the two brothers, so after hearing what the other party said, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Let's go." After reaching a consensus, Qin Jianjun immediately and swiftly broke into the Qin family's house.
The location had been chosen long ago, so there was no doubt that they would be able to land on the right place and hide their bodies. The three of them climbed into the Qin family's yard and headed straight for the Qin family's well.
Meat, here they come!
Inside the house, two geese that were originally sleeping suddenly raised their heads and stared at the kitchen.
There is a well outside the kitchen, and they seemed to have heard some noise.
"Ahhhhh——" the two geese uttered a low warning sound.
The sound was a little small and did not wake Chuchu from her sleep.
Suddenly, there were clear and crisp sounds of collapse coming from outside the house, and along with the sounds of collapse there were three screams that were suppressed in the chest.
Then there was silence, absolute silence.
The two geese in the hall tilted their ears and listened carefully. When they heard nothing else, they buried their heads under their wings and went back to sleep.
In the mountains, Qin Qingman and Wei Ling originally planned to go down the mountain early in the morning, but Xiao Hei took them hunting. In order to wait for their share of meat, the two could only wait patiently.
We waited until after three in the afternoon and it was almost dark.
Even though the black bear wasn't very agile because it had just emerged from hibernation, its fur still caused a lot of trouble for Xiao Hei and the others.
It took a lot of effort for more than a dozen wolves to kill the black bear.
Then Xiao Hei and his group of wolves were exhausted and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
As the sky was getting darker, Qin Qingman no longer had any thoughts of going down the mountain.
More importantly, she wanted to see the black wolf after giving birth, and wanted to take another look at the two wolf cubs she had delivered herself. This kind of wild animal is something you see once and you forget it once, and perhaps you may never see it again in your lifetime.
Wei Ling noticed Qin Qingman's idea and supported it very much.
On the side, Xiao Hei, after recovering his strength, asked them to choose meat. Qin Qingman and Wei Ling only chose one thing each.
Qin Qingman took the black bear's left and right front paws, and Wei Ling peeled off the bear's skin.
Although the bear skin was no longer intact after being destroyed by the wolves, it could be repaired and made into a very good cold-proof item. Chuchu was still young anyway, so some scraps would be enough to make a set for the child.
Faced with the choice between Qin Qingman and Wei Ling, Xiao Hei was dissatisfied.
Extremely disgusting.
Choosing bear paws with little meat and bear skin that cannot be eaten, doesn't it mean that he dislikes the shabby gift? In dissatisfaction, he kicked Wei Ling hard with his claws.
Wei Ling had no choice but to cut off another two pounds of meat and carry it in his hand.
It just so happens that they have to stay another night, so these two pounds of meat will be served as dinner.
Xiao Hei was satisfied when Wei Ling cut another piece of meat. He then howled towards the wolf's den, his voice filled with pleasure and a hint of flattery.
This is to ask the daughter-in-law to bring the children to have dinner.
Qin Qingman was shocked. She didn't expect that the wolf cub, which was just one day old, could leave the den.
It turned out that she was overthinking it. The black wolf came alone. After giving birth, the black wolf was already starving. When it saw Qin Qingman, it came forward, rubbed Qin Qingman's legs, and then squatted down to eat the meat.
He ate with big mouthfuls and great concentration.
Facing his wife who was eating meat, Xiao Hei did not eat with her, but waited.
Wei Ling took Qin Qingman's hand and whispered, "Normally, the wolf's breeding season will avoid winter. Winter is cold and there is a lack of food. The survival rate of wolf cubs born at this time is almost zero."
This is exactly what Qin Qingman found strange.
"Xiao Hei probably had no experience as a father because it was his first time. Another possibility is that the formation of geothermal energy caused him to misjudge the time, resulting in the birth of wolf cubs in winter," Wei Ling explained further.
People who are taciturn will unconsciously become more talkative when they are with someone they like.
But he himself didn't know it.
After listening to Wei Ling's explanation, Qin Qingman thought about it and felt that this might be the reason. After all, wolves are not human beings. They can only respond accordingly according to changes in the weather.
"After this hunt, Xiao Hei and the others may have to migrate."
When Wei Ling said this, he felt a little reluctant to part with his "old friend". After all, he and Xiao Hei had been together for almost a year, and the relationship they had developed was also a bond.
"Where will Xiao Hei and the others go? Can't they stay here?"
Qin Qingman glanced at the land around her where many green sprouts had already appeared and felt a little reluctant to leave.
"There is no prey here that they can survive on right now. I guess if Xiao Hei's wife hadn't been pregnant and given birth, they would have migrated half a month earlier." Wei Ling still knew the migration patterns of wolves.
"The two wolf cubs are so young, how can they migrate? It's so cold and the cubs won't be able to bear it." Qin Qingman was worried about the two wolf cubs who were just born. Not only did the newborn wolf cubs have less hair, but it was also short, and they couldn't withstand the coldness of nature.
"This bear is enough to feed Xiao Hei and the others for half a month. I guess they will actually migrate after half a month."
"Will Xiao Hei and the others come back?" Qin Qingman had a good impression of Xiao Hei who generously gave her a pair of bear paws.
"Maybe, maybe not, it depends on the migration routes of herbivores." Wei Ling was not sure whether he could see Xiao Hei again in the future.
Because the emergence of this geothermal lake not only changes the landform environment, but also affects the food chain.
Qin Qingman took Wei Ling's hand and looked at him earnestly with her big watery eyes. "Ah Ling, let's go take a look at the two cubs before we go down the mountain. After all, we watched them being born, and I can't bear to leave them behind."
"good."
Wei Ling held Qin Qingman's hand tightly.
After the conversation, the two did not wait for the wolves to finish eating, but took their share of the prey back to the shed.
It was getting dark, and they had not had a drop of water after watching the battle between wolves and bears all day.
My stomach is already full.
If they didn't respect Xiao Hei, both of them would have gone back to the shed halfway through.
Before it got dark, Wei Ling found a clean and flat surface and used the snow and a dagger to clean up the remaining meat and fat on the bear skin, while Qin Qingman went to cook.
After half a day, the firewood in the fire pit of the shed had long been burned out, and the fire turned into white ashes.
Qin Qingman lit a fire with ease, and as the fire started, the temperature in the shed slowly rose.
She froze the bear paws in the snow outside the den, burying them deep so as not to attract scavengers. She put two pounds of bear meat in a pot and soaked it in snow water.
Bear meat is actually difficult to handle, and if not handled properly it will have a very strong fishy smell.
Under no circumstances could she do anything to remove the fishy smell from the meat.
Having done all this, she left the shed.
Wei Ling was busy with a dagger in the distance. When he saw Qin Qingman's figure, he immediately looked over.
"A Ling, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to go to the lake to see if there are any wild vegetables I can pick." Qin Qingman knew that Wei Ling was worried about her leaving alone, but she also didn't want to go too far, so there was no need for anyone to accompany her.
"Call me if you need anything." Wei Ling reminded Qin Qingman.
"Okay." Qin Qingman, who was cared for, felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey water.
Qin Qingman did not walk far, but looked for wild vegetables along the lake.
This season is not the season for wild vegetables to grow, but due to geothermal heat, some wild vegetables or green plants that once grew in this area are breaking through the soil and growing. She seemed to have seen wild garlic while taking a bath last night.
The smell of wild garlic is stronger than that of scallions, and has a slightly bitter and spicy taste, but it is the best seasoning to cover up odors.
Qin Qingman didn't plan to boil the bear meat directly, otherwise she might not be able to bite it.
Hard work pays off. Qin Qingman was indeed not mistaken yesterday. Some wild garlic had already grown on the ground.
In addition to wild garlic, she also found some small shepherd's purse and wild water celery. These wild vegetables actually popped up because of the special climate environment. Since they popped up, Qin Qingman didn't hesitate to look around, picked a lot and returned to the shed.
The bear meat in the den had long been soaked in snow water and had turned red with blood.
After pouring out the snow water, Qin Qingman then soaked the bear meat again in clean snow water.
At the same time, she also cut the bear meat into large slices about one finger thick. This would help to soak out the blood in the meat as quickly as possible and also make it easier to process into cooked food.
Wei Ling brought five days' worth of dry food, but this was already his third day in the mountains. Qin Qingman had been eating Wei Ling's dry food since she came, and there was not much dry food left in the bag at this time.
Qin Qingman threw the last two handfuls of wheat into the pot.
There was more water in the pot this time. She planned to mix the wild vegetables she had picked into the pot to make vegetable porridge or soup. If she added two pounds of bear meat, it would definitely be enough for her and Wei Ling to finish this meal and have room for the next one.
While the porridge was cooking on low heat, Qin Qingman began to process the bear meat.
After changing the water several times, most of the blood in the bear meat has been soaked out, and it is estimated that the remaining blood will be difficult to soak out in a short time.
Under limited conditions, Qin Qingman marinated the bear meat with wild garlic and salt.
The marinated meat is finally spread out on a huge cobblestone in the fire pit and roasted.
Qin Qingman found the pebbles from the lake. They were big enough, thin enough, and smooth enough, so she suddenly had the idea to use them as grilling tools.
While Qin Qingman was roasting the bear meat, Wei Ling, who had finished his work, not only cleaned up the bear skin, but also took a bath.
"Qingman, I'm coming."
Watching Qin Qingman turning the bear meat on the stone slab with long chopsticks, Wei Ling took over very naturally.
"Well, you can turn it over after it shrinks and turns brown."
Qin Qingman put down the chopsticks in her hand and gave some instructions.
After saying this, she broke the wild vegetables that she had washed with snow into pieces with her hands and threw them into the pot. As shepherd's purse and wild water celery entered the pot, the fragrance of the wild vegetables also spread throughout the shed along with the hot steam in the porridge.
Looking at the wild vegetables whose green color quickly disappeared when exposed to the heat, Qin Qingman sighed deep in her heart.
It’s a pity that there is no oil, otherwise it would not only preserve the green color of the wild vegetables, but also enhance the aroma of this pot of wild vegetable porridge.
“It smells good.”
Wei Ling, who was standing by, saw Qin Qingman's efforts with his own eyes. He was really surprised by the fragrant wild vegetable porridge and the bear meat with a strange aroma.
When he was the prince of the state, he had also eaten roasted bear meat, but the meat was rough and had a strong fishy smell, and was not as delicious as he had imagined.
Today's roasted bear meat changed his mind.
"Try the taste?"
Qin Qingman used a simple spoon she made in her spare time to scoop a spoonful of porridge, blew it cool, and passed it to Wei Ling's mouth.
It just came naturally to her.
After all, Wei Ling is roasting bear meat and has no time!
Facing the wild vegetable porridge that was handed to his lips, Wei Ling opened his mouth and drank it. The temperature of the porridge was blown by Qin Qingman to be just right, neither too hot nor too cold. What surprised him even more was that the taste of ordinary wheat underwent a drastic change after being baptized by wild vegetables.
"It's delicious." Wei Ling nodded affirmatively to Qin Qingman.
The most satisfying thing for all chefs is to have their work recognized. Qin Qingman smiled happily when she was recognized.
Her big eyes are curved into crescent shapes, and her beautiful face is as pretty as a peony.
As if by some strange coincidence, Wei Ling cut off a small piece of roasted bear meat with a dagger, blew it cool, and passed it to Qin Qingman's mouth, "Taste it."
Qin Qingman's face instantly turned redder than a burning flame.
There was a hint of shyness and sweetness in her eyes. Were they feeding each other? It seemed that only lovers could do this.
The author has something to say:
