Chapter 221 Brother, I want to live like this every day
221
Seeing Wang Ming staring at him with sharp eyes, he was, after all, only a 12-year-old boy. Although he had experienced a lot of hardships, he was still very scared when he really encountered something.
"I, I am useful."
"Tell me what it's for. You know who we are. We can't just watch a forest burn."
Wang Ming still stared at him.
Xiao Mohe was a little speechless, but who made them not have matches?
"I want to roast a rabbit for my brother and sister."
......
Xiao Mohe lowered his head and whispered, but after a long while, Wang Ming didn't reply. He didn't know what Wang Ming meant, so he looked up and saw Wang Ming looking at him expressionlessly.
Xiao Mohe quickly took two steps back. Wang Ming's voice was cold, "So, you haven't even had a warm meal in this forest? Then how do you have the confidence to survive with your brothers and sisters?"
Do you know why we are human? Can we survive by eating grass and leaves all the time?
Xiao Mohe didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed. As if he had thought of something, he looked up at Wang Ming and said, "I won't let them starve like this forever. We caught a rabbit today, and I'll give them meat more often in the future."
Wang Ming propped up his chin with one hand, "Well, that sounds impressive. Go ahead, then."
He pointed to the fire and said, "Be sure to put it out after you're done. Don't take chances. You have to know that if the forest catches fire, you won't even have this place to hide."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you."
Xiao Mohe was thinking a lot at the moment. He knew that he had misunderstood these people. In fact, he was very happy to see these people and knew that they were not bad people, but they only stayed for one night and then left.
Everyone was ready and set off immediately. Before leaving, Xu Hongchang stood a few meters away and asked again, "Young man, do you want to follow us out of the mountains?"
Xiao Mohe's heart skipped a beat, but he still shook his head.
"Then you better be careful, there are many ferocious beasts in these deep mountains."
After finishing his words, Xu Hongchang gave orders and everyone left with their backpacks on their backs.
Xiao Mohe remained motionless for a long time, watching the soldiers leave. After a long while, the grass behind them was parted, and Xiao Moyu and Xiao Moyan emerged, each carrying a skinned rabbit.
Xiao Moyu hurried over to the fire and blew on it, then added a few pieces of dry wood. Smoke slowly began to rise, and Xiao Moyan hurried over to help. After a while, the two of them had the fire lit.
"Brother, the fire is lit, let's roast the rabbit."
Xiao Moyan's big eyes were shining, and she was obviously very excited.
Xiao Mohe retracted his gaze and said, "Well, Yanyan, please step back a little. The fire is dangerous. Big Brother will come."
The three siblings roasted rabbits quietly in front of the fire. The two rabbits were small and cooked in less than half an hour. Clearly, their cooking skills weren't very good, as the rabbits were roasted to a dark black.
"Brother, look, is it cooked?" Xiao Moyu was a little unsure. Xiao Mohe had never done this before, and without a knife, he couldn't cut it open. He could only take the rabbit out of the fire, endure the heat, and tear off a piece from it with a small wooden stick and hand it to Xiao Moyan.
"Sister, try it and see if it's cooked."
Xiao Moyan stared at the meat for a long time, "Brother, you eat first. I don't know if it's cooked."
Xiao Mohe directly stuffed the rabbit meat into Xiao Moyan's mouth.
Xiao Moyan's eyes narrowed immediately, but she chewed without slowing down. She quickly swallowed the tiny piece of meat.
"Mmm, brother, it's delicious, so delicious."
Xiao Mohe suddenly felt very sad. How could this be delicious? It was just meat, so it should be considered the most delicious thing.
"Then let's eat."
As he spoke, he had already started to break up the flesh.
While breaking the meat, Xiao Mohe asked his sister-in-law, "Xiaoyu, Yanyan, do you want to stay here?"
They both lowered their heads, waiting for their eldest brother to divide the meat. Suddenly, they were asked this question by their eldest brother. They were not able to react for a while. When they both got the meat, Xiao Moyu took a big bite first, and swallowed the meat into his stomach with a satisfied look before asking.
"Brother, what do you mean? Aren't we already in the mountains?"
Xiao Mohe quietly swallowed the meat in his mouth. "But they said the mountains are not safe."
Xiao Moyu didn't even think about it. "That's not necessarily true. We haven't encountered anything in the few days since we came here. It should be safe here."
"What if a wild beast comes one day?"
Xiao Moyu felt that the meat in his mouth was no longer fragrant. He watched as his younger sister kept her head down eating the meat, with no intention of paying attention to her elder brother.
"Brother, let's eat first and talk later." Even if he died, he wanted to die with a full stomach.
Xiao Mohe couldn't resist the temptation of the meat either, and he ate it with big mouthfuls. The three children hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time, and their stomachs were empty. There was still some left from the two rabbits, and all three were very satisfied.
Xiao Moyu and Xiao Moyan lay down on the rocky beach. Looking up at the mottled sky, they said, "Brother, if I could eat this much every day in the mountains, I would stay here every day."
Xiao Mohe felt sad as he looked at his brother lying on the ground with a satisfied look on his face.
Xiao Moyan also stared at the sky, "It would be great if grandma could come with us."
Suddenly, the two brothers' noses felt sore again.
Tang Yue had been sitting on a big tree not far away. She thought that they had finally caught the rabbit and they had to eat it before leaving. Otherwise, it would be a shame.
Xiao Mohe slowly put out the fire. Xiao Moyu sat up suddenly and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Xiao Mohe didn't stop moving his hands. "If this fire isn't put out, it might cause a wildfire. If it catches fire, we'll have nowhere to go."
Xiao Moyu hurried over to stop him, "Brother, we are watching over it, how could there be a wildfire? Don't listen to those people."
Xiao Mohe paused for a moment, and Xiao Moyu continued, "Brother, if this fire is gone, we won't be able to eat hot food again."
Xiao Mohe stared at Xiao Moyu, "But we can't just sit here and watch forever. What if a strong wind blows while we're away? Then..."
Xiao Moyu waved his hand. How could there be such a strong wind? I haven't seen any wind in all these days.
Before he could finish his words, a strong wind blew over, and the fire was blown away by the wind. A few pieces of wood thrown randomly nearby were directly roasted black.
The two brothers were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly picked up rocks and began throwing them into the fire. Xiao Moyan also stood up and scooped up dirt with her small hands. After a long struggle, the three siblings finally put out the fire.
Tang Yue swung her legs, she wasn't completely bad, she still had some conscience.
Seeing that the fire was finally put out, Xiao Moyu sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face, "Brother, from now on, we will have to eat vegetable leaves every day again."
Xiao Mohe said nothing. After working for a while, they felt a little tired and wanted to sleep after eating. Just as he was about to lie down, he saw a tiger in the dense forest in front of him slowly walking towards them.
At this moment, Xiao Mohe felt as if all the blood in his body had solidified, and his limbs seemed to be stiff. At this moment, Xiao Moyu patted his arm. He was already a little confused, "Brother, lie down and rest for a while, I'm so sleepy."
Xiao Mohe was like being started. He stood up in a flash and pulled one person with each hand. "Hurry up, the tiger is coming."
The voice was trembling. Xiao Moyu was pulled up by his eldest brother and saw the tiger in front of him. Xiao Moyan saw it as well. The three siblings stood up in panic and ran back, not knowing what happened today.
Normally they felt like they were running very fast, but today their legs felt like they were not their own, and no matter how they struggled, it seemed like nothing worked.
"Brother, where are we going?" Xiao Moyu's voice was filled with tears.
Xiao Mohe was a little calmer now. "Let's go back to the cave. We definitely can't outrun the tiger. There are big rocks in the cave."
Xiao Moyan's tears were already falling, and the fear at the moment made her unable to speak.
Less than two hundred meters away, the three siblings stopped and began to slowly retreat, their eyes filled with fear.
