Hard times have room

Chapter 887 Miserable
When Li Ting and Qin Dashan came back, the oysters and snail meat had been cleaned up, and all the meat inside had been picked out of the shell. There are two big bowls full of meat. You can have a good lunch today paused.

Wang Jiandang had already cleaned up the fish, and he chopped off the big thorns, so as not to pierce his mouth when eating.

Knowing that Pauline and Wang Jiandang were going back after lunch, and to no avail, Li Ting rolled up her sleeves and started cooking, while Pauline helped with chores.

Li Ting, who used to be a little hands-on in the kitchen, now works very quickly. Obviously, she has practiced in the kitchen a lot in the past two years.

At noon, I ate sweet potato and rice porridge, thick and warm porridge, and my whole stomach was warmed with one bite.

The fish bones are fried with lard, pour boiling water into it, the milky white fish soup looks very appetizing.

The oysters are blanched directly in hot fish soup, taken out after more than ten or 20 seconds, and served with soy sauce, which is called fresh.

The snail meat is stir-fried with chili. For this lunch, Li Ting did not use less oil. Just this stir-fried snail meat, she directly used up the amount of oil at home for three days.

After eating, Baolin and Wang Jiandang bid farewell to the reluctant Li Ting, tightened their backpacks, and left quickly.

On the way back, Pauline was in a relaxed mood, even a little excited, she let go of the things that had been in her heart for a long time.

Of course, it didn't take long for her relaxed and happy mood to be fully occupied by the heavy backpack. Really, when walking, the things she carried on her body will become heavier and heavier as time goes by. Heavy.

In Baolin's back basket were shrimp skins and dried shrimps, and two bamboo tubes filled with clear water with a pinch of salt.

Wang Jiandang puts small dried fish and bamboo tubes in his back basket, and he puts the most water in his back basket, because they have to travel under the scorching sun and sweat a lot, so salt water is essential.

Both of them wore simple straw hats to cover their heads. In this way, there is a high probability that they will not suffer from heat stroke when they are traveling under the scorching sun, but they will be very hot, especially their heads, which are obviously sweaty, but they have to wear straw hats. Keeping your head stuffed, you can only take off the straw hat from time to time to let your head breathe. The time can't last too long, the sun is too strong now, and you will suffer from heat stroke.

They also held a bamboo stick in their hands. At this time, there are more snakes, and they like to lie on the road and bask in the sun. They may encounter them at some point, and they have a stick in their hands. At that time, they will be easy to use.

Everything was fine for the first part of the journey. When the father and daughter were walking beside a small ditch, an accident happened. To be precise, there was a roadblock ahead, a big black snake.

"Dad, why don't we take a detour? This snake looks a bit fierce." Pauline was shocked when she saw the color of the snake.

Black, this color is very fierce at first glance, it can't be a poisonous snake, right?
If it's a poisonous snake, then of course you can hide as long as you can, so as not to get hurt. If you are really bitten by a poisonous tongue, it's okay if it's not very poisonous. It is a very good choice.

"Don't take a detour, don't worry!"

"This snake is not poisonous, it's just a grass snake. I've beaten it before! It's old."

While Wang Jiandang was speaking, he put the pannier on his shoulders on the ground, tightened the stick in his hand, and said to Pauline, "Stay away, I'll beat this snake to death before you come back."

He was nervous, but he was afraid that the snake would run away. The snake was not small in size and had a lot of meat. It would weigh more than two catties. It would be a pity to run away.

Pauline obediently stepped back a dozen steps, and stood on a half-meter-high boulder. Since her father said it was fine, it was fine. This was based on her trust in her father.

Since she was a child, things like snake meat were not unfamiliar to her. In the first two years, the situation was not very good. Little snakes were never let go, and they were rare.

I haven't seen this thing for two or three years. Goodbye. The appearance of this thing still makes people feel hard to say.

At this time, in Pauline's heart, there was a little fear of snakes, but more of a reaction. After all, no matter how many times she had seen that thing, she would never find it attractive. She really couldn't get used to it like that. .

In the face of snakes, Wang Jiandang has very rich experience in fighting snakes. At the age of seven or eight, he can kill snakes by himself and take the meat home to eat, let alone now.

I saw him holding a stick, walking towards the snake carefully, and the snake also noticed him at this time, half of its body stood upright, the snake letter in its mouth was hesitating, hissing, as if it was passing through such a snake. The way of threatening the opposite person, wanting that person to retreat.

At this time, Wang Jiandang's mind, which was still a little uncertain, settled down in an instant, and he wanted to be as calm as possible. At this time, if he wanted to avoid being bitten and eat meat, he had to calm his mind and have no distractions.

I saw that he raised the long stick in his hand, and when the snake rushed towards him, he hit the snake with force, and the stick hit the snake directly.

The snake was whipped so violently that its spine was severed, its body could only twist and struggle on the ground feebly, even escaping was a luxury.

Sensing the approaching humans, it uttered the loudest roar in its life, but unfortunately, this was just its dying cry.

After confirming that the snake could not run away, Wang Jiandang walked a few steps, found a big stone, weighed it and walked to the front of the snake, threw the stone, and hit the snake's head without any mistakes. There was no room for resistance, half of the head was smashed flat.

When the father and daughter finished their backpacks and set off again, Wang Jiandang found a snake corpse with a severed head in a diabolo tube in the basket.

On a moonless night, with the crisp chirping of cicadas and birds, everything seemed so beautiful. Suddenly, with a "snap", Pauline slapped her face with her hands, spread her hands, and with the help of the bright moonlight, she could See the black mark on the palm, it is a mosquito.

Before it was dark, the father and daughter rested several times, but once it got dark, the two never rested again, even though the moonlight was as bright as day.

It's not that they are full of energy when it's dark, it's that the mosquitoes that surround them from time to time, chasing the father and daughter without a moment's breath, because if there is a slight pause, those mosquitoes swarm up like sharks smelling fishy, I can't wait to suck the two of them up in one go.

Now the exposed faces, hands, and ankles of the two are all densely packed and itchy. Even so, they don't even have time to stop and scratch to relieve the itching, because staying in the wild, their next end will only be Worse.
