My farm does not raise idle dragons

Chapter 6 The Pursuing Simba

The stone slab was erected, the flames were burning blazingly below, and the midday sun was shining on it, and a gust of heat soon evaporated.

Lu Xi cut the meat into slices, and spread several kinds of wild vegetables found during this period that can be used as seasonings on the meat slices first or later.

Under the double heating of the flame and the sun, the sliced ​​meat quickly sizzled, exuding the aroma of roasted meat, golden fat overflowed from the roasted meat, shining in the sun, several wild vegetables used as seasoning, fried in the fat During the roasting process, those coming from behind exude a more stimulating aroma.

Lu Xi turned back to get the tools, and was about to take out the roasted meat. When he turned his face, he saw Xiao Yuan beside him, who was still sitting upright, and the saliva had flowed down the corner of his mouth, forming a small puddle on the ground. , Immediately couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and handed the first piece of roasted meat to Xiao Yuan.

The size of the stone slab is not too big, it is lucky to find a suitable stone, and the size cannot be forced.

Furthermore, the sharpness of the stone knife is not enough, and the cut meat slices are the size of a palm. It is said that there is no problem with the meat, so only three or four slices can be roasted at a time.

Lu Xi didn't have a big appetite, although he had exhausted a lot of energy, he was almost full after eating two or three slices of barbecue meat, and the rest was roasted to feed Xiao Yuan, so it was rare to be leisurely.

Xiao Yuan wagged its tail and ate very happily. It looked very bluffing on the surface, with a reserved and elegant appearance, like a lady among wolves, but the tail behind it exposed everything.

While eating, Xiao Yuan's ears suddenly moved sensitively, and she quickly turned to the direction they came from. Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that something was wrong. The last time Xiao Yuan behaved like this, it was they who met the When a large creature like a lion.

Without hesitation, Lu Xi immediately stood up, picked up his luggage in twos and twos, and ran towards the route he had chosen earlier, fastening the luggage on his body while running, so as not to affect his actions.

Xiao Yuan also immediately dropped the half-eaten barbecue, picked up the three chubby rabbits that Lu Xi didn't take away from the ground, and tied them into a ball with grass leaves, followed Lu Xi's footsteps, and quickly surpassed Lu Xi , leading the way for Lu Xi in front.

The stone slab and the half-baked meat on it were not cleared away and stayed where they were. Part of the reason was that time was tight and there was no time to clean them up. Xi bought more time to leave.

Lu Xi originally thought that he would be able to leave the grassland immediately, and the traces of all kinds of creatures around him were reduced, especially the traces of large creatures, so there were almost no traces, so he started to cook the stone barbecue with confidence. Unexpectedly, the aroma of the food still attracted the hunters on the grassland. By.

It's just that no matter how upset he is, he can't change the status quo. Lu Xi can only bury his head and run towards the forest, trying to run a longer distance.

"Roar!" A somewhat familiar roar came from where Lu Xi left.

Lu Xi subconsciously glanced back, and from a long distance, she saw a somewhat familiar figure—isn't this the lion that robbed her and Xiao Yuan of food last time? !
Not attracted by the scent, but always chasing after them?

An idea quickly appeared in Lu Xi's mind. After all, there was no more reasonable reason to explain the lion's behavior.

Did her roast really have that much appeal?After chasing for three or four days and still not giving up? !
But before she had time to think too much, Lu Xi quickly withdrew her gaze and continued running towards the forest. To her relief, the lion was indeed attracted by the barbecue she left behind, and stopped for a long time, giving her the opportunity to run far away. Chance.

It's just that the lion's speed was so much faster than Lu Xi's that Lu Xi didn't dare to stop because of the momentary distance, for fear of being caught up again.

Regardless of the physical exertion, just as the night was about to fall, Lu Xi arrived outside the dark forest.

In the gradually dimming sky, the dark forest is like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting to devour all who approach.

Lu Xi looked at the forest in front of her, and her heart was full of uneasiness about the unknown, but she didn't dare to stop there. The danger of the forest was still in the dark, and the threat of the lion was close at hand.

Gritting his teeth, he rushed in with Xiao Yuan.

A forest without traces of human life is more difficult to move than a grassland, and there are more crises hidden in the dark, which are more difficult to guard against.

The night fell after Lu Xi entered the forest, and the dense canopy blocked the last light. Lu Xi, who was used to being illuminated by moonlight at night, became a "blind person" in an instant.

If she could still see a fluorescent game panel in her perspective if it wasn't in the pitch blackness, she would have wondered if she was really blind.

It's just that this game panel doesn't know what the reason is, it looks like it is emitting light, but it can't illuminate any place in front of Lu Xi's eyes.

He couldn't see his fingers, and the surrounding environment was extremely complicated, so Lu Xi's footsteps couldn't help but stop here.

"Wuen?" Xiaoyuan noticed something, it had been opening the way ahead, stopped, turned around and walked to Lu Xi's side, rubbed her legs, put down the prey it was holding in its mouth, and said with a voice. with doubts.

"Xiao Yuan, it's too dark here, I can't see anything." Lu Xi hesitated for a moment, the darkness aggravated her fear of the forest, making her timid to take a step forward.

But Lu Xi also knew that she shouldn't stop here. After she stabilized her mind, she spoke firmly.

"Xiaoyuan, I'll give you a rope later, you bite on it and take me away."

Although there is a novice guide that is a cheating device, so that Lu Xi will not be unable to distinguish the direction to go, but the novice guide will not remind Lu Xi of how many trees and stones are in front of her, and she still has to rely on Xiaoyuan to replace her. She leads the way.

"Aww," Xiao Yuan responded.

Tie the few prey that Xiaoyuan put down on his back——Lu Xi is no longer in a hurry to go on the road, even if he is in a hurry, there is nothing he can do, so there is no need to let Xiaoyuan share the weight of the prey for her, and he will carry it slowly on his back. just go.

Handed a strong rope made of several strips of cloth to Xiaoyuan, who held it in his mouth, and led Lu Xi to walk in the forest. Lu Xi walked slowly in the dark along the strength of the rope.

After more than half an hour, Lu Xi couldn't help but be thankful that her decision was correct. At the edge of the forest, in the direction she came from, a huge angry roar could be heard clearly, it was the lion that was chasing them.

Maybe the forest was not friendly to its huge size, maybe it was the danger in the dark that made it retreat, or maybe it was the vigilance of the unknown situation in the forest, and finally the lion stayed outside the forest, only uttering a few impotent rages roar.

Lu Xi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, because she couldn't see, she didn't actually go too far, otherwise she wouldn't have heard the roar of the lion outside the forest. Once the lion chose to enter the forest, she would definitely be caught up. And she, who couldn't see anything, didn't even know which direction to run to.

After confirming that the lion will not enter the forest, Lu Xi does not intend to continue walking. After all, even lions dare not enter, so there may be some danger in the forest, although she has not encountered anything yet.

Gently pulling the rope in his hand, Lu Xi called Xiao Yuan softly, "Xiao Yuan, don't go, let's find a place to rest first."

Xiao Yuan stopped obediently, and because she was biting the rope in her mouth, she just made a few humming sounds with her nose as a response.

As the time in the darkness grew longer, Lu Xi's eyes gradually began to adapt to the darkness, and she could vaguely see the edges of some nearby blurred objects. Even if Xiao Yuan left for a short while, she would not bump her head into a tree up.

Without leaving for too long, Xiao Yuan found a suitable place to rest. After such a long time, it has been able to distinguish the requirements of Lu Xi's choice of resting place--drying is a must, and secondly, there must be a certain amount of rest. It is best not to have small creatures such as snakes, insects, rats and ants around, and must be cleaned up if there are any.

It was a tree that withered for unknown reasons. Over time, the body of the tree had tilted, and it was placed on another tree, forming a natural space.

Perhaps the fallen tree trunk blocked the sunlight too tightly, and there were no plants growing underneath, only a layer of fallen leaves.

Xiao Yuan dug out a clean ground with his claws, pulled out two small snakes with long arms from the fallen leaves, carried them away and threw them away.

I checked around twice more, and there were no other creatures, which is good news.

The ground without the cover of fallen leaves was very damp. Luckily, before Lu Xi weaved a whole straw mat, spread the straw mat, and then spread a layer of rabbit fur blanket, it was able to block the dampness of the ground.

The original skirt cloth has been changed by Lu Xi into two sheets, as well as some other sundries such as cloth bags. Folding the sheets to cover the body and adding a small edge with its own body temperature is enough to keep warm in the cold night.

The semi-enclosed space created by the two trees gave Lu Xi a rare sense of security, so he fell asleep.

It's dawn.

In fact, it was only 04:30 in the morning, and there was some brightness in the forest, but Lu Xi didn't dare to continue to sleep, she was very afraid that the lion would enter the forest after dawn and chase it.

So he hurriedly packed up his things, and continued on his way in the forest with Xiaoyuan.

The danger in the forest is unknown, Lu Xi didn't dare to go deep, and crossed the entire forest to reach the other end, so he decided to go around a little farther and go around the edge of the forest.

Just to guard against the huge lion that might come chasing him at any time, Lu Xi didn't dare to get too close to the edge of the forest, and kept a distance that wasn't too deep or too far, with retreats both in front and behind.

Concentrating on the journey, the morning passed without knowing it, and his stomach made a grumbling sound at the right time, reminding Lu Xi to stop and rest.

Lu Xi looked back, she wasn't sure how far she had gone, and she wasn't sure if she could get rid of the lion, but rest was necessary.

When putting down his luggage, Lu Xi found that he had been cut many more wounds, and he couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, everything has a price.

However, although the body refreshes every day and cannot form skin protection such as cocoons, Lu Xi's mental tolerance to pain has increased a lot.

After all, the mental state does not refresh every day.

After treating the wound a little, Lu Xi started to prepare lunch. With the tinder he had left before, it was much easier to regenerate the fire, and the most important thing in the forest was firewood, so it didn't take much time to start the fire.

Just be careful not to have flammable objects around the fire, so as not to cause a forest fire.

Worried that the scent would attract some creatures to the meat like before, Lu Xi didn't put any seasoning at all this time, but just inserted pieces of rabbit meat with a wooden stick, and roasted the rabbit meat dry on the fire.

If Lu Xi couldn't eat raw meat, she wouldn't even want to start a fire.

Lu Xi, who felt that the barbecue would not taste good this time, did not forget to ask Xiao Yuan, "I won't put those things for seasoning this time, it may not be delicious, do you eat grilled or raw?"

As a wolf of unknown breed, Xiaoyuan has a natural instinct to eat raw meat, but after tasting the barbecue made by Lu Xi, Xiaoyuan completely defected to the barbecue camp, even though Lu Xi said "it might not be delicious", He still chose the barbecue with firm eyes.

Lu Xi, who was always worried about whether the lions would come after her behind her, didn't pay much attention to the roasting, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the barbecue was roasted very well, and there was no undercooked or burnt phenomenon, which made her very grateful.

The barbecue without seasoning had no other smell except for the faint smell of meat, not even as strong as the smell of burning firewood, which made Lu Xi heave a sigh of relief.

What made her most relaxed was that there was no movement from behind.

After cooling down for a while, Lu Xi took a bite of the meat before it burned his mouth. Then he was a little surprised. It wasn't bad, but unexpectedly delicious...

When he hunted these chubby rabbits, Lu Xi skinned them and bled them, leaving only the meat wrapped in mustard grass leaves to carry.

Overnight, the outermost layer of the rabbit meat inevitably shriveled a lot, so that when the meat was roasted, all the fat was locked in the meat without overflowing, and it was perfectly integrated into the rabbit meat.

Of course, pure barbecue does not have much taste, but Lu Xi wraps the rabbit meat with mustard grass leaves, and the mustard grass itself will have more juice. When moving back and forth, some mustard grass will inevitably seep into the rabbit meat. Juice is the best seasoning.

A little wild vegetables are bitter, no more, no less, just right.

Xiao Yuan was already feasting, and Lu Xi was a little puzzled, but he couldn't find anyone to answer his doubts, so he could only attribute it to the chubby rabbit... Maybe he was born to be so delicious, so whatever he did was delicious.

Lu Xi saved the fire again, extinguished the fire, checked it several times, and confirmed that there would be no resurgence, then picked up his luggage and prepared to continue on his way.

The plants in the forest are much more abundant than those on the grassland. Even though Lu Xi was in a hurry, he saw many kinds of plants that looked like but didn't look like the earth.

Most of them are inedible, whether it is in another world or on the earth, until Lu Xi saw a clump of mushrooms growing under the roots of a certain tree, he stopped in his tracks.

There are many types of mushrooms on the earth, but they are often poisonous. They are either inherently poisonous, or poisonous if they are not cooked well. Except for a few types, they are extremely dangerous to eat.

But the taste of mushrooms is also really good, otherwise it wouldn't make countless people try to be poisoned and have to take a bite.

Lu Xi is not the kind of person who particularly likes to eat mushrooms, but after living in another world for such a long time, the recipes only have a few extremely unpalatable wild vegetables, and the delicious but simple rabbit meat, so he can't help but miss the taste of mushrooms.

Mushroom soup, grilled mushrooms, fried mushrooms, fried mushrooms... just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

　In fact, this chapter is called "I want urgent syrup", but I feel that most people may not get this point...
