Old Li was still a little skeptical at this time.
I thought maybe it just smells good but may not taste good.
He took the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The fish fillet tastes fresh, tender, sour and spicy when you put it in your mouth.
Full of umami flavor, just the right amount.
The flavor of the pickled cabbage is almost completely absorbed into the fish, mixed with the fresh aroma of the fish, plus the aroma of garlic, chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. How can it be so delicious?
Captain Sun and Battalion Commander Zheng kept swallowing their saliva.
At this time, Song Shiwei handed him a spoon.
"Uncle Li, please have another taste of the soup!"
Old Li took the soup from her and tasted it again.
This sauerkraut fish soup is delicious, fresh, sour, spicy and refreshing, and is more flavorful than fish soup.
He closed his eyes and savored it, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
Fish is his favorite thing in his life, but this is the first time he has tasted such delicious fish and fish soup!
The excitement and passion in my heart are surging.
It's worth it! It's worth it!
Song Shiwei looked at his expression and guessed the result. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, how is it?"
Old Li slowly opened his eyes and nodded, "Okay!"
When Song Shiwei, Captain Sun and the others heard this, they all laughed.
"Uncle Li, can you please tell us what exactly is in Death Valley? We are short on time, so please tell us quickly!"
But Old Li just waved his hand.
Captain Sun thought he was going to regret it, and said anxiously: "Uncle Li, you..."
He raised his head, as if relieved, and sighed, "Never mind, I'll risk my old bones and go with you!"
Song Shiwei didn't expect that he would be willing to go with her.
Of course, it would be great if he could follow. After all, the situation inside changes rapidly. Even if he told them what happened, if they couldn't recognize it, they might be in danger.
Captain Sun and Captain Zheng were both extremely surprised.
“That’s great!! That’s great!!”
"Uncle Li, there's no time to lose. When are we leaving?"
Old Li took a steamed bun and started eating it with the pickled fish.
"Don't worry, such delicious fish meat, how can we waste it? I'll take you there after I eat it!"
No matter how anxious Song Shiwei was, he had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, Old Li ate very quickly. After finishing his meal, he found some Chinese herbal medicine, ground it into juice using the small stone mortar at home, and put it into several small porcelain bottles.
Then one person gave them one.
Captain Sun looked at the grass juice in the bottle with a strange smell and asked in confusion: "What is..."
Old man Li didn't even look at him.
"For insect repellent, apply this on all of you before entering the valley. The effect of this herbal juice will last for two or three days. If we can't get out within two or three days, you'll have to apply more!"
As he spoke, he went into the kitchen and took out a lot of dry and hard cakes, carefully wrapped them in oil paper, and put them in a small leather bag.
Each of them handed them a bag.
Song Shiwei looked at the seven or eight rock-hard cakes in the bag, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Isn’t this similar to modern compressed biscuits?
Although it is dry and hard, it is very filling. Moreover, if it is wrapped in grease and a small leather bag, it can be isolated from rain and moisture, so it can be preserved for a longer period of time.
He also took out several kettles and greeted Captain Sun and the others.
"Young men, don't just stand there. Fill up your canteens with water. Don't drink water casually when you get to the valley!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbing and his companions quickly took out four or five military water bottles from the car, filled them with water one by one, and carried them on their backs.
In addition to this, Old Li also brought out a medicine box.
This surprised Song Shiwei.
“Are you a doctor??”
Old Li nodded.
"My ancestors were imperial physicians, but their medical skills were lost during my father's generation. However, they left behind a lot of medical skills, which I also learned on my own! The medicines in this medicine box are all made by me!"
Sun Hongbing suddenly understood. No wonder he had never heard anyone say that Mr. Li knew medical skills. It turned out that he had figured it out on his own.
"Then you..."
Old Li seemed to be thinking of the days when he was not sure whether he was alive or dead, and his eyes gradually became far-reaching.
"I went to collect herbs and strayed in there by mistake. Luckily, I brought a lot of herbs I made myself. I usually go out to collect herbs for several days, so I happened to bring a lot of water and dry food with me, so I was lucky enough to get out!"
As he spoke, he looked at the sky and waved at them: "Let's go and set off quickly. We have to find a place to stay before dark, otherwise it will be even more dangerous inside!"
Song Shiwei thought for a moment, picked up the salt shaker on the table, and then followed him.
After all, we don't know what the place is like. If there is really a problem with the food, we can find some food nearby. Salt has one function to increase the flavor of food, another function is to sterilize and disinfect. At the same time, it can also be used as rehydration salt in the case of dehydration. In addition to these, salt has many other uses. Anyway, it is a good thing in the wild.
In his previous life, Song Shiwei also participated in a variety show with his friends, which was about wilderness survival.
In Death Valley, everything is unknown. It should be similar to wilderness survival, right?
After everything was ready, they prepared to set off. Captain Zheng also found their equipment for field missions in the trunk of the car, including a flashlight, matches, a small pot, salt and seasonings, two military knives, a small shovel, hemp rope and other things.
He directly put the equipment on his back, but gave one of the military knives to Song Shiwei.
"Sister-in-law, take this knife. It will be useful if you encounter any danger!"
Song Shiwei was also quite satisfied. This military knife looked very sharp. She was just worried about not having something suitable.
"Thanks!"
Sun Hongbing drove them all the way to the vicinity of Death Valley.
He originally wanted to go with them, but neither Song Shiwei nor Captain Zheng agreed.
"Captain Sun, there are too many things outside that need your command! Captain Zheng and I can go to Death Valley!"
Old Zheng also nodded and said, "Yes, we can just go there. You still need to search for Tingyue and the others outside!"
Sun Hongbing also understood, but he just didn't trust them.
"Then you must be careful! I will send someone to check on you at any time and wait for you to come out!"
Song Shiwei and Lao Zheng nodded: "Okay!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Old Li shouted to them, "Let's go! It will be dark if we don't leave now!"
So the three of them walked along the outer cemeteries and headed deeper into the canyon.
There were actually people guarding this place. When they saw them driving over, someone went back to the village to report early, and as a result, a large group of people came over.
