Mountain Wild Clouds

Chapter 5 Fishing, Grilling Fish

Before the rain was too heavy, Yun Bu stayed in the bushes by the stream to search.

Not long after, he used the key to slowly cut a large bundle of extremely tough thin vines and some large leaves.

After that, he started weaving straw baskets.

He used a few half-finger-wide grass vines as bones, and crossed them in the word 'meter', and then used thinner grass vines to start winding around these crossed grass vines.

This is how we weave loach baskets in farmers' homes.

Although he had never made it up before, he saw someone else make it up on the spot.

After working for more than an hour, when more and more raindrops fell from the branches and leaves above the head, a [-] to [-] centimeters high pot-bellied straw rattan basket was finally completed.

The mouth of the basket was made into a circle with branches, only less than [-] centimeters wide, and the whole straw basket looked crooked and ugly.But he is still very happy, at least this is what he did with his own hands.

And in the future, he will even use this to try to fill his stomach.

He opened a gap in the middle of the V-shaped stone dam that he cast before, put the opening of the straw basket against the gap, and blocked it with stones.

Then go into the water with a wooden stick and stir all the way from upstream.

You can see fish swimming towards the V-shaped stone dam downstream.

Seeing these fish, he couldn't help grinning.Maybe there is no salt, no other condiments, and the grilled fish is not very tasty, but when you are very hungry, who cares if the food is delicious?He even ate worms.

He licked his lips involuntarily.

After tossing in the small pool for about an hour, he finally lifted the straw basket.

Looking inside, there are more than a dozen small fishes that are two fingers wide and more than ten centimeters long.

Back at the stream, he dumped the fish on hay and beat them to death with a stick.

After looking carefully, he found that the mouths of these fishes actually had sharp sawtooth, which made him a little thankful that these fishes did not bite him before.

Obviously, these are carnivorous fish, commonly known as piranhas.It's just that there are quite a few differences from the piranhas in his impression, their bodies are more slender.

He was a little worried. Could there be such piranhas in the big river that he encountered next?
Piranhas are not scary when there are few piranhas, but when there are too many, they are terrifying.

After knocking the fish to death, he wanted to use the keys to kill the fish, but because the keys were not sharp enough to pierce the belly of the fish, he had to sit by the stream and sharpen the keys.

The key of the small eMule is made of aluminum alloy, which is much easier to grind.

It didn't take long for the tip to be sharpened by him.

Cut the belly of the fish with a sharp point, remove the fine scales, clean it up, and put it on the big leaves that have been washed.

After all the fish were cleaned, he wrapped them in leaves and buried them in the fire where a pile of coals had been burned.

Then, he tied three branches with thin vines to make a simple tripod.

After making two tripods, he put the tripods next to the bonfire, put the wooden sticks used for walking on the tripods, then took off his clothes and put them in the stream to wash.

After washing, hang the clothes and trousers on wooden sticks and slowly roast them over a bonfire.

After finishing the clothes, he moved the pile of dry wood to the campfire, put the smelly leather shoes on the dry wood, and slowly roasted it.

After everything was done, he was naked, washed briefly in the stream, and then sat by the stream and continued to grind the keys.

After the little eDonkey key turned into a sharpened sawtooth nail clipper, he returned to the side of the pile of charcoal fire and pushed the ashes aside with a branch.

Pull the bag of fish out of the fire, and as soon as you open it, the smell of fish wafts out.

In many cases, the original taste is actually not as good as imagined.

For example, these fish have a strong fishy smell.

However, compared to those worms, there is no obstacle for Yun Buliu to eat these fish.

There is nothing more enjoyable than being able to eat a mouthful of hot food in this desolate and remote mountain forest, and he was even moved to tears by it.

It's not easy!
He raised his head, squinted his eyes, and carefully tasted the fresh and tender fish with fishy smell.

Finally, when he opened his eyes, he saw the little beast standing on a tree branch not far away, staring at him with wide eyes, which made him startled.

After pondering for a while, he took a clean leaf and put it on a rock far away, then took out two hot fish and put them on the leaf, beckoning to the little beast.

The little beast ignored him, still quietly squatting on the tree branch and watching him.He walked back to the campfire, glanced at the little beast, and then pointed to the two fish on the rock in the distance.

He felt that it was necessary to bribe this guy, so as not to accidentally give him another shock.

Seeing that the little guy was indifferent, Yun Buliu was not in a hurry, and continued to eat fish silently.

The fish is tender and smooth.

"Ah! If there is an earthenware pot, add slices of ginger, boil a pot of fish soup, sprinkle with a handful of green onions, and have a little wine, it will definitely be a great enjoyment!"

He squinted and muttered to himself, imagining that he was enjoying it.

When he opened his eyes again, he happened to see the little beast descending the tree.

He squinted his eyes again, not wanting him to find himself looking at it.

Sure enough, it looked up at him vigilantly, and then cautiously approached the two fish placed on the leaves.It first turned around the leaf twice, then stretched out its paws, and carefully tested it. When it found that the fish hadn't moved, it lowered its head and sniffed lightly.

After sniffing, it raised its head again, looked at Yunbuliu, stretched out its claws quickly, grabbed the fish and ran away, but soon, it found that there was only a little fish meat in its claws.

Yun Buliu, who was watching it secretly, almost laughed, but finally held back.

It came back cautiously again and found that the fish it had caught was rotten on the leaves.

It looked at Yunbuliu again, lowered its head and stretched out its small tongue to lick the minced fish, then lay down and ate the two fish silently, but its eyes would look at Yunbuliu from time to time.

Yun Buliu secretly thought it was funny, but he ate the fish in silence, never making any big moves, so as not to scare this weird little beast.

After the two little fish were eaten by the little beast, it started to lick its paws, and finally lay there, looking at Yunbuliu eagerly.

Yun Buliu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the steaming fish beside him, then picked up two and approached the little beast cautiously.

Seeing him approaching, the little beast jumped back a few meters. After he put the fish on the leaf and retreated again, it cautiously approached again.

In the end, fourteen of the fourteen fish were taken away by the little beast, and he ate all the remaining ten. The combined weight of the fish was not that big, but he still felt very full.

He lay by the campfire, holding his head, watching the water dripping from the treetops.

The water droplets have become less and less, obviously the rain is not heavy.

It's just that there are still drizzles of rain, and I don't know how long it will take.

Fortunately, there is a fire by his side to drive away his coldness.

He didn't care about the little animal anymore, but turned over his clothes, the leather shoes were still not dry, although the outer leather shoes were very hot, the inside was still damp.

However, his underwear and torn shirt were dry, so he picked them up and put them on.

Although there was no one else in this deep mountain and old forest, being so naked still made him feel a little ashamed and a little embarrassed.

After flipping through the suit pants that turned into hole pants and the suit jacket that turned into a striped suit, he rolled up his sleeves and put the straw basket on the gap.

Silently looking forward to tomorrow morning, one or two stupid fish will slip into the straw basket along the current.

He saw that there were still fish in the pool. Obviously, the previous struggles had not been able to wipe out the fish in the shallow pool.

Then, he sat down by the stream again, grinding another room key.

This key is made of steel alloy, which is not easy to sharpen, but the material is harder than the key of the little eDonkey, but it is about two centimeters shorter, which makes him a little regretful.

However, he continued to grind, he felt that this thing would be useful sooner or later.

I don't know how long it took, but the numbness in his arms made him stunned.Because he found that his endurance seemed to have increased a lot.

In the past, if the arms were moved for so long, they would have been so sore and numb that they could not lift them up!

After resting for a while, he continued to grind until the sound of howling wolves was heard in the distance, and the night really came.

At this time, the key in his hand had turned into a single-edged serrated knife with a length of only five centimeters and a blade of only three centimeters, no different from a nail clipper.

But he is still very satisfied, after all, with this thing, cutting things will be much faster.

He got up and went downstream to have a rest, then moved the bonfire not far from the entrance of the stone cave, moved the clothes hanger and leather shoes to the edge of the cave, and began to rest.

At some point, he woke up and heard the howling of wolves in the distance.

The fire at the hole at the foot was much smaller, and the red charcoal fire became extremely conspicuous in the dark night.He got up, walked out of the cave, relieved his anxiety in the lower reaches of the stream, then collected the clothes and shoes outside the cave, added a pile of firewood to the campfire, and continued to fall asleep.

But after waking up and going back to sleep, it was no longer so easy to fall asleep.

In the forest at night, it was eerily quiet, only the howling of wolves and night owls occasionally sounded in the distance, and the sound of insects and frogs nearby disappeared.

click...

He heard the sound of branches breaking suddenly from the bushes above the stream outside the cave.

He listened with bated breath, as if he felt something approaching. In addition to the whirring sound of the bonfire burning and jumping at the entrance of the cave, there seemed to be a large animal breathing sound of "wheezing and wheezing".

Probably because of the light and temperature of the fire, this large animal did not dare to approach.

Not long after, he felt that the thing seemed to be slowly leaving.

He breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his forehead and back were all wet.

He was secretly thankful that he was not attacked by this large animal when he went out of the cave to collect clothes and add firewood.

At some point, he fell asleep again.When he got up the next day, he was shocked by the monster again.When he was lying on the ground twitching and wagging, he scolded the little beast bloody in his heart, calling it an unfamiliar 'little white-eyed wolf'.

He didn't know why this little beast approached him when he was asleep, and he didn't know why this guy would startle him and discharge electricity when he saw him open his eyes.

He just felt that this little beast was simply the devil in his life.

He was sent by God to punish him.

The most painful thing is that he has nothing to do with it.

He could only comfort himself again, fortunately, there was no incontinence this time!
