Chapter 78 Brake Failure?
In the end, Meng Qingyin splurged and took out three planks from her system inventory to use as fuel.
Only then did they start grilling the meat.
First, grill a thin layer of pork belly, rendering out the fat and giving the lean meat an enticing color. The pan sizzles and crackles, and finally, sprinkle a thin layer of salt on top.
By the time Meng Qingyin took out the pork belly, Zai Zai's saliva was already flowing like a waterfall.
Meng Qingyin placed the pork belly directly on Zai Zai's plate. Zai Zai wasn't afraid of the heat and opened his mouth to eat the pork slices, chewing them a few times before swallowing them whole.
After finishing the meal, she still looked on with relish, saying, "It smelled so good! My little one loves barbecue, and I'll have some too!"
Meng Qingyin picked up a few slices of meat for herself, then put the rest into Zai Zai's plate, and continued baking the next batch.
The little one didn't have time to talk, he just kept showing off his muscular physique.
Finally, the little one ate until his belly was round and full, and he couldn't eat another bite of meat.
"Master... hiccup, baby... hiccup, sleepy..."
After saying this while burping, the little one was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore and fell asleep.
Meng Qingyin was completely stunned by his ability to fall asleep in that instant.
However, she quickly came to terms with it. The baby's age was equivalent to that of a human infant, which was the time when he was growing. So, he was just eating and sleeping.
Moreover, the little one is much more capable than the baby; he helped her kill that wild boar.
She carried the baby to the bed and let it sleep comfortably, while she got out of the car and took out a heavy knife.
My little one is so amazing, so as its owner, I have to work even harder.
Just as Zai Zai wanted to protect her, she also wanted to protect Zai Zai.
She discovered that since her last training session, her physical fitness had improved, and she no longer found it as difficult to wield the heavy 30-pound sword.
Her current weight of over 30 kilograms feels more like carrying something weighing a dozen kilograms.
She gripped the knife handle with one hand and simply began to wield it without any particular technique.
Under the scorching sun, Meng Qingyin was sweating profusely and her face was flushed, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. When she could no longer lift her right hand, she switched to her left.
After persisting for more than an hour, Meng Qingyin collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.
She rested for five minutes before getting up and returning to the RV. She poured herself a glass of water, gulped it down, and felt alive again.
My clothes were soaked with sweat and I couldn't wear them anymore.
But she had already thrown away that blood-stained outfit; now she only had the one she was wearing.
Meng Qingyin opened the trading hall and searched for clothes. Sure enough, quite a few search results popped up, including both men's and women's styles.
Of course, there are brand new ones, and there are also those that look second-hand or even several times over.
There were even people selling clothes stained with blood, but no one bought them.
Meng Qingyin picked out a comfortable tracksuit and bought it for only two copper coins.
She really couldn't understand these prices.
In the convenience store, a bag of sausages costs 20 copper coins, while a brand new pure cotton tracksuit only costs two copper coins!
However, Meng Qingyin thought about it again and understood.
Food is far more important than clothes, especially since players can only earn copper coins by escorting caravans, so they naturally need to be frugal and there's no need to spend money on clothes.
Value determines price; whether it's clothing or food, their prices are determined by their value.
Meng Qingyin changed into the new tracksuit, then washed the old one and hung it on the pea vines outside to serve as a clothes rack.
She was exhausted. She marked a small tree on the map and told Little Elf to call her when she arrived. Then she went back to bed and fell asleep immediately.
After sleeping for about twenty minutes, Meng Qingyin was woken up by the little fairy, Xiao Ai.
Through the window, Meng Qingyin saw a towering tree outside.
The grassland map has no shrubs, and therefore no dry shrubs.
The raw materials for making toilet paper are weeds or wood. Weeds are unavailable, but wood...
Based on her experience playing games, it can be obtained by chopping down trees.
As luck would have it, she found an iron axe in the black iron treasure chest.
Meng Qingyin took out an iron axe and jumped off the carriage. Unexpectedly, Zai Zai followed her down: "Master, where are you going? Zai Zai will go with you!"
"You're awake?" Meng Qingyin said. "Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"
She's gotten used to the baby eating and sleeping all the time, and when she sees it wake up, her first thought is whether it's hungry.
The little one shook his head, "I'm not hungry yet."
Meng Qingyin opened her arms: "Alright, I'm going to cut down trees. If you want to come with me, then come with me."
The little one jumped into her arms immediately, "Yay! Yay! I love being with you, Master!"
Meng Qingyin caught it steadily and carried it with her towards the tree.
Arriving at the tree, Meng Qingyin placed the baby on the ground and swung her axe, chopping it down on the thick trunk with a clang.
The reaction force made her hand go numb.
However, the effect was significant; a small notch appeared on the tree trunk immediately.
Meng Qingyin aimed at the gap and swung her axe a second time. Although the position was slightly off, it was still close.
After relentlessly swinging the axe more than twenty times, the big tree crashed to the ground.
[Should a century-old tree be decomposed after being felled?]
Meng Qingyin: "Decompose!"
The big tree transformed into straight logs, and Meng Qingyin counted them; there were a total of 20.
Although there is definitely a system cut, overall the gains are quite good.
Meng Qingyin put all the wood into her backpack and was about to pick up the baby and walk back when she heard the roar of a car approaching from afar.
At the end of the road behind us, a black car appeared, speeding towards us without slowing down at all.
Meng Qingyin thought to herself, "Oh no!" and picked up the baby and ran to the RV.
But how could she possibly be faster than a car?
Moments later, the black car crashed into the RV with a loud thud.
The rear of the RV was dented, and the glass was shattered all over the ground.
The black car... was completely undamaged!
A man got out of the car, holding a spiked club in his hand, staring at Meng Qingyin with a half-smile.
Meng Qingyin held the baby in one arm and took out a stun gun with the other.
As she got closer, she saw the man's nickname: Wang Dingding.
At the same time, Wang Dingding also saw Meng Qingyin's nickname.
“Mengmeng? You are Mengmeng?” Wang Dingding murmured.
Upon seeing the stun gun in Meng Qingyin's hand, he quickly wiped the smile off his face: "My brakes failed. I didn't mean to hit your car."
Meng Qingyin sneered. Brakes failed? Did she think she was a three-year-old?
She gripped the stun gun tightly, approaching Wang Dingding step by step. Without saying a word, she swung the stun gun directly.
Wang Dingding looked up, blocking the stun gun with her spiked club, her expression suddenly changing: "I already said it wasn't intentional, what do you mean by this?"
Meng Qingyin pressed down hard with her arm, forcing Wang Dingding to resist by bracing his hands against the spiked club.
He gritted his teeth, never imagining that a woman could have such strength.
She forced herself to use both hands to resist, using only one hand...
Is this Mengmeng's strength?
