Chapter 195
Qiao Sheng packed the animal carcasses and returned to the boat on the shore. Li Mu and Cao Hanmo were left to deal with the aftermath.
After returning to the boat, he first sent an email to Fang Yueyi, asking if they had meat to exchange. There were wolves, bears, snakes, leopards, tigers, lions, and the species were random. If you have a need, you are welcome to exchange it with grain. It doesn't have to be coarse grain. Wheat and rice are all accepted. Fang Yueyi will arrange the ratio.
Hearing that Qiao Sheng had wild animal meat, Fang Yueyi happily accepted the job because their fleet hadn't encountered animals from land for a long time. Even if they encountered two or three wild boars, it would not be enough for the fleet of nearly 100 people to eat for a long time.
Although eating fish every day is nutritious, people still have a taste for red meat. Although I don’t know if wolves, bears, leopards, and tigers can be made into braised pork, they should be better than eating fish every day.
Therefore, Qiao Sheng’s redemption activity went smoothly. In the middle, he also discussed with Fang Yueyi about the delivery requirements, whether it was a whole animal carcass or clean meat.
After the discussion, wolves and snakes were directly redeemed, without skinning, gutting, and bone removal. Other bears, leopards, and tigers all needed to be skinned and boned because they were too big and no one had the ability to redeem them as a whole.
Qiao Sheng directly sent the carcasses of the wolves and snakes to Fang Yueyi, and the rest needed her to do the work manually.
The bear meat was split by Li Mu and his friends before. Half of the bear meat and all the bear skin were left for Cao Hanmo and other NPCs. She brought back all the rest of the meat. It was not that they did not want to keep it, but that the NPCs did not want it. First of all, there was too much to preserve. Secondly, according to Cao Hanmo, it was enough to eat the wild boar meat. The other ones were indeed not cooked well and the taste was much worse.
So Qiao Sheng left all the wild boars to them and took the rest back.
He sent some of the bear paws and bear meat to Xia Beibei first, and asked the rest if she wanted to try leopard meat, tiger meat, lion meat, etc. Xia Beibei was still at an age of strong curiosity and courage, and the reply was definitely that she wanted to try them all.
Qiao Sheng asked her to try the bear meat first, and wait for the others, which would be available in a few days.
After finishing all these, she started to work upstairs and downstairs, planting, feeding, and cooking. She was busy for two hours and Li Mu still didn't come back.
She simply got off the boat, squatted on the shore and started to decompose the carcasses of animals. Just after she cut open a leopard, she looked up and saw Li Mu shooting an arrow at her.
The arrow grazed her temple. Qiao Sheng turned her head to look at the broken hair on her shoulder, then turned back to see the target of Li Mu's arrow.
Not far behind her, there was actually a crocodile, which blended well with the color of the reefs on the shore. Since Qiao Sheng had her back to the sea, if Li Mu hadn't come back in time, she might have been injured.
Qiao Sheng went off the boat to dismember the animal carcasses simply because he was too lazy to mess around on the second-floor terrace, otherwise he would have to clean the deck, which was quite troublesome. He didn't expect that his laziness almost led to a disaster.
"Are there crocodiles in the sea?" Qiao Sheng asked, looking at the crocodile that was still struggling after being nailed to the reef.
Li Mu came over and shot two more arrows, finally sending the crocodile away completely: "There are saltwater crocodiles, but we have never seen them."
Qiao Sheng asked him with lingering fear how he found out. After all, the colors were too similar, and she probably wouldn't have found it even if she turned her head at that time. Li Mu said that it was because it moved a little that he found out.
After collecting the split animal carcasses, the two of them circled the shore and hunted five more crocodiles. They put them into the ring space and returned to the boat.
They had not eaten since dinner yesterday, so they quickly washed their hands and had this brunch first. They had time to talk only after they filled their stomachs.
Saltwater crocodiles appeared on the shore, and they did not dare to let Cao Hanmo and his children live directly on the shore. However, it was not realistic to let them rest on the boat. After thinking about it, the two decided to build a new floating board boat on the shore in the afternoon. It did not need to be too big, just enough for all the NPCs to live.
In the sea, the beasts on the island and the crocodiles in the sea would definitely not be able to get on. After all, the boat built by the player is a safe house, and no hostile forces can board the boat without permission.
The wooden wall with windows is ventilated and cool. No one needs to be on guard at night, and everyone can sleep well. They did
what they said. The two of them took the construction hammer and built a new one-story boat. In addition to wasting wood and plastic, Qiao Sheng felt a sense of accomplishment when he stood on the shore after finishing the work. He felt like a construction maniac.
In the afternoon, Cao Hanmo came with his family. Some walked, some were carried, and some carried bedding. Anyway, no one came empty-handed. They all thought they had to sleep on the shore, and they brought a lot of straw.
When they arrived, they found that Qiao Sheng and his friends had already prepared a new place to live. After asking, they learned that they found crocodiles on the shore, so they built a new boat for them to sleep at night.
It seemed that they couldn't say anything else except thanking them. Ke Junhua held Qiao Sheng's hand with tears in her eyes and couldn't speak clearly.
Qiao Sheng quickly pushed them onto the boat and told them to rest first, because they would have to eat here later. Cao Hanmo and the others also brought kitchen supplies.
Originally, they wanted to build a stove on the shore, but Qiao Sheng felt that it was still not safe enough, so he and Li Mu modified the new boat. In fact, they added a staircase leading directly to the second floor, and then placed the stove and dining table on the second floor. They were also afraid that some of the children were young and might run around and cause danger, so they added a fence on the second floor.
After they were done, they returned to their own boat to decompose the animal carcasses. There was really too much work to do, and not a minute could be wasted.
They spent an entire afternoon without the help of Cao Hanmo and his friends. They slowly decomposed four lions, two tigers, and a leopard. Qiao Sheng really didn't dare to eat the dirty internal organs of these beasts. He originally wanted to throw them into the toilet to flush them, but he didn't expect Li Mu to put them all on the trading system.
The ratio was not high, and they were all replaced in a short while. It seems that no matter what time it is, there is always a shortage of brave people.
They sent some of the various meats promised to Xia Beibei to her. For dinner, they did not go to partner with Cao Hanmo and his friends, but ate on their own boat, mixing a large bowl of cold noodles and steaming two bear paws.
Looking at the food on the table that looked like his own limbs, the cassock cub was emo all night. When he slept, he no longer lay on his back, but lay prone with his limbs pressed under his body, for fear that Qiao Sheng would eat the bear paws and turn them into bear gourds while it was asleep. The
next morning, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu took their equipment, said goodbye to Cao Hanmo and the others, and prepared to go up the mountain to start cleaning. This time, except for Xinxin and Xiaoying, they took everyone with them. Su and A'dai's broken arms and legs have been healed after taking medicine and applying medicine for the past few days.
Cao Hanmo also pointed out a gentler way up the mountain for them, and then promised that he and the children would stay on the boat and not get off, so that they could rest assured, and then the two sides separated.
It was easy for Qiao Sheng and his friends to go up the mountain, so they just released Ah Dai. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, Ah Dai had already circled the mountain several times and had a general idea of the situation there.
Following its signal, the two of them went straight to the beast's lair, destroying them one by one. At noon, they found a platform and had lunch.
Qiao Sheng counted the results of the morning's battles. Among the four wild boar dens, one was empty, and the rest were filled with pigs. In total, they killed more than fifty wild boars. They also found three bear dens, two of which were empty, probably because they were out looking for food. There was also a lazy bear sleeping in the den, so they sent it away.
The bear corpse was put into the space ring and taken away. They encountered countless snakes along the way. I don't know if these guys got any instructions in such hot weather, otherwise according to their habits, they would not come out and wander around like this.
After eating and drinking enough and taking a rest for a while, the two of them continued to sweep. With the help of Ah Dai, You Su and the cassock cub, they cleaned up very quickly. They killed whatever they saw and took away the cubs they could take away, and killed the cubs they couldn't take away.
It's not that they don't care about ecological balance, but they can't leave hidden dangers for the children down the mountain. When these cubs grow up, they will become a nuisance again.
However, there don't seem to be many cubs on the mountain. Except for a few wild boar cubs, the rest are basically adults. There is no need to restrain themselves when they take action.
All the big ones had to be cleared, even the bison were not spared. When seeing the sheep, Qiao Sheng thought about it and decided to kill them and take them away. After all, the mutton skewers and mutton hotpot were waving at her. Even if they couldn't hurt the NPCs, they had to be taken away.
It wasn't until dark that the two of them stood on the top of the mountain. They actually climbed up the mountain in a spiral, so they almost swept it like a carpet. It was completely safe to reach the top of the mountain.
"Who would have thought that tigers, lions, bears and other fierce beasts could squeeze together on this mountain? It's simply unbelievable." After a day of fighting, Qiao Sheng felt exhausted. He didn't want to stand up after sitting on the top of the mountain, but he still had to complain about what he should complain about.
Li Mu took the iced sour plum soup she had just handed over and gulped down half a bottle. He was stronger than Qiao Sheng and was also very tired.
Although it was quite late, Qiao Sheng and the others were still preparing to go back to the boat to rest. There were too many mosquitoes on the mountain, and they would rather walk a few more steps back than stay on the top of the mountain to feed mosquitoes.
As soon as he stood up, Ah Dai, You Su and Jiashazi suddenly ran straight in the same direction. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly followed.
The four-legged and winged creatures really ran much faster than the two of them on two legs, and soon they disappeared. Li Mu had to hold up a lantern to identify the footprints of the cassock creatures so as not to lose them.
It was not that he did not want to identify Su and Ah Dai, one was too light and the other was flying in the sky. It was only because the cassock creatures were big enough that they could leave traces.
The two did not dare to delay and jogged all the way. When they came to a cave, they lost the footprints of the cassock creatures. It seemed that they all entered the cave.
The cave was very deep, but luckily there was no fork in the road. The two of them walked quickly with lanterns in hand, fearing that something might happen to the three guys if they were too slow. After walking for more than half an hour, Qiao Sheng felt the sound of water and the breeze blowing gently.
Not sure if the feeling was correct, he whispered to Li Mu next to him and knew that he had the same feeling. He was relieved. These changes should have brought them to the destination.
