After Chen Li handed over the bear paw, she went back to pick up the sack containing the bear skin. She entered the woods from behind her own carriage.
The reason is simple. Wei Zian has internal strength. If I enter the woods in front of him and my breath disappears in the woods, wouldn't he become suspicious?
Before I understand the purpose of internal energy, I plan to be extremely cautious.
Chen Li walked in the woods for a long time before entering the space. She first scraped off some tiny fats from the bear skin. After cleaning it, she found a wooden basin in the space and soaked the bear skin in it. After it was softened, she soaked it in alkaline water to fully remove the grease inside.
After soaking, Chen Li took a quick shower, changed into the same clothes and left the space.
When we approached the camp, we could smell a strong smell of barbecue, and there were also many refugees around who were ready to move.
Chen Li passed by the place where they had dug a hole to bury the internal organs and paused. It was obvious that the things inside had been dug out.
After looking around, there was no one there. Chen Li filled the pit with soil. Although the smell of blood was lighter here, it was inevitable that other animals with good sense of smell would follow the smell and come here.
When I walked to my carriage, I saw my brothers and my parents roasting dried meat.
It was late at night, and you didn't need to look closely at the sweat on your face because it was all over your face.
Several iron pots in the house were used, and there were even a few large stone slabs. A low fire was burning underneath, and the meat strips on top had begun to shrink.
In the pot was some thinly sliced dried meat, and some of it was being marinated. Seeing that everyone in the family was busy, Chen Li went over to help.
"Big brother, fourth brother, you two should go to bed first so that you can drive the carriage tomorrow. Big sister-in-law should also go to rest."
Shen Jingyuan shook his head, “No, it’s okay if I don’t sleep for a whole night.”
This time, without Chen Li having to speak again, Lin Cuicui spoke first, "Big Brother, Fourth Brother, go to bed quickly. No one will be energetic during the day tomorrow, so we'll be relying on you two."
“As for the eldest daughter-in-law, you are now in a double body, so go back and rest.”
"OK."
Shen Jingyuan helped Xu Taohua to sleep. Xu Taohua was indeed sleepy, so she didn't hesitate and went to rest.
"Ali, do you want to go to sleep too?"
"Mom, I'm not sleepy yet. When I get tired later, I'll go rest by myself."
Lin Cuicui nodded, and then the few people started to busy themselves with roasting the dried meat.
Seeing this, several other families also let their coachmen rest, but the others did not receive this treatment.
It was still dark the next day, and the team was setting off early, so everyone cooked breakfast early.
After working all night, the smell of An Liu's cooked bear paws had already spread throughout the camp.
Chen Li walked over with the basin and took a deep breath. In one word, fragrant!
An Liu was in front of the pot, and Chen Li came over, "Old Six, is this ready to eat?"
"Okay, Miss Shen."
Although he didn't understand why Miss Shen called him Lao Liu, he understood what Shen Li meant, so he took the bowl and scooped out her bear paw.
An Liu made two flavors in total, one spicy and one non-spicy. You can tell they are delicious just by smelling them. Now looking at such a beautiful bear paw, it feels even more delicious.
Chen Li happily took her basin and went home to have breakfast.
"Oh!"
Pei Yu chuckled softly. He borrowed his people, but in the end, he didn't even say thank you. Really...
Chen Li used a clean knife to cut the bear paw into small pieces. The bear paw had been stewed for so long that it was already soft and rotten. Chen Li gave everyone a little bit.
Although the two bear paws look big, there is actually not much meat on them, and there are many people in the family, so we can only taste them.
After taking a bite of the spicy one, Chen Li’s eyes widened. No wonder those people were so keen on bear paws, it turned out to be so delicious!
"Little sister, this is delicious!"
Shen Yuanzhou had already finished the meat in his bowl. When he was about to look up at Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qian'an's bowls, the two seemed to have known his plan and quickly ate the meat in their bowls.
He looked away with regret. As for the food in his little sister's bowl, he was a good brother and would not snatch it away!
An Liu’s cooking skills are very good, and both flavors are very delicious. Seeing Chen Li eating so happily, Pei Yu ate an extra bowl of rice.
Soon, the team set off. By noon, they walked into the withered forest again, which meant that they were not far from getting out of the mountain.
Chen Li looked back at the green and yellow forests behind him. The two were clearly separated, but it was obvious that the withered and yellow area continued to spread into the forest.
Once they leave here, it will be difficult for them to find water again.
It seems that if it doesn't rain, the forest will continue to dry up. However, that is no longer their business. By that time, they will have left Jingzhou long ago.
After they walked away, everyone looked back and then continued on their way.
I didn’t sleep last night and felt a little sleepy. Chen Li drove in the carriage, but didn’t fall asleep. She just wanted to take a rest.
Seeing that his younger sister was resting, Shen Qi'an, who was standing next to him, tried to drive the carriage more steadily.
Behind them, a group of about a hundred refugees were chasing them.
The team discovered two refugees roasting black bear intestines. They usually bullied those refugees who were alone, relying on their large number.
When he saw two refugees eating meat, he couldn't help himself and immediately went forward to grab it.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, this is all the food we have!"
"Let go, or you'll deserve to be hurt."
Several young and strong guys stepped forward and knocked the two skinny refugees to the ground in a few seconds.
"Bah, shameless. You're lucky that someone likes your stuff."
A young man stepped on one of the men's face and asked, "Tell me, where did these organs come from?"
The two men had been robbed and beaten. They were now crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands. When they heard the question, they were afraid of being beaten again and shouted:
"They are in the front. Their team is small, only about fifty people, half of whom are women."
Another person, also afraid of being beaten, quickly added: "Yes, yes, they are few in number, and they have more than a dozen horses and a lot of food. We only dare to pick up some of the things they don't want."
When the people in that team heard this, they were instantly delighted and thought that they might get rich. With more than a dozen horses, how much food would that require!
Their team was large, and except for a dozen women, the rest were strong laborers. It was easy for them to beat those dozens of people.
If they had horses, they might be able to travel much faster.
"Village chief, we are not far away, why don't we catch up with them?"
"Yeah, yeah, they have so much stuff and so few people, we can't miss it."
Village chief Yu Dawei was a little hesitant. He always felt that this matter was not so simple, but as they said, so many things were really worrying.
