The Yanhua dagger in Su Luo's hand made a whooshing sound.
Soon, the lean meat of the coral snake was cut into pieces weighing half a pound.
Su Luo ordered Zhao Erya, "Pick up some firewood. Remember, don't go too far, or you'll be taken away by wild animals. I won't be able to save you."
"Okay, okay!"
At this moment, Zhao Erya's whole body was shining, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her skin was faintly pink with excitement.
After a while, Zhao Erya came back with a bundle of firewood.
When she came back, Su Luo had already set up the grill and even cleaned all the snake segments. Each piece of snake meat was stuck with two thick branches.
Using fire at night is very dangerous, but Su Luo is very experienced.
She didn't choose to be near the water source.
The water source is the real danger at night, because countless wild animals will come here to drink water, which will cause conflicts over time.
Su Luo's foot injury has not yet healed completely, and she has lost all her spiritual power. She cannot withstand such torture.
So Su Luo chose a wide hillside where she could see everything around her at a glance.
Once Su Luo took action, her movements were very efficient.
In just a short while, she had roasted the snake meat to a golden brown color. The snake oil made a sizzling sound in the charcoal fire, and the fragrance filled the air, making people's mouths water.
Su Luo was still fine, but Zhao Erya was already licking her fingers.
Su Luo smiled and glanced at Zhao Erya: "Lotus leaf."
The need for food is the most basic need in life. In the past, she was so powerful that she could easily conquer a city. Why would she ever worry about these things?
but--
Through the orange-yellow firelight, Su Luo saw Zhao Erya's eyes that were extremely eager and pious for food. Su Luo's heart was suddenly moved, and a sense of satisfaction of being needed arose spontaneously.
"Hiss--" Because she was craving for food, Zhao Erya took a deep breath and held back her saliva, while spreading out the lotus leaves that Su Luo had picked and washed earlier with both hands.
Su Luo smiled and glanced at her: "Want to eat?"
"It smells so good, I wish I could swallow my tongue..." Zhao Erya drooled as she spoke. "Erya, from childhood, has only ever eaten white flour dumplings with a tiny piece of overcooked pork lard inside. I was so craving meat that I secretly scooped it up from the kitchen while grandma was away and ate it. It didn't taste like meat at all. Other than that, I've never eaten meat again."
Su Luo smiled: "Snakes have parasites in them, so they have to be roasted thoroughly before you eat them, otherwise you will get sick."
As Su Luo spoke, she placed the cooked snake pieces on the lotus leaves spread out by Zhao Erya.
Zhao Erya was so excited that she was about to tear the meat with her hands.
"Hiss—it's so hot!" Zhao Erya's fingers were burned and tears were about to come out.
"It's too hot. Let it cool down and be blown by the mountain breeze. It will be ready to eat soon. We've waited for so long. Can't we wait a little longer?" Su Luo shook her head with a wry smile.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Erya said she would wait, but her eyes were almost embedded in the flesh, not moving at all.
Waited about ten seconds.
"Sister Yun, can we eat now?"
Su Luo shook her head.
Waited another ten seconds.
"Sister Yun, can we eat now?"
Su Luo: “…”
Seeing how eager she was, Su Luo shook her head speechlessly and threw the dagger to Yanhua: "Use the dagger to cut the snake meat into pieces. This way it will cool down faster."
