The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 94 Adventure
The banquet at night was very lively, but Chu Ying gave Aunt Wang a gift early and went home, washed up and lay down under the blanket.

"Why did you come back so early? Are you full? Why did you sleep? Are you unhappy because you didn't know any friends at the banquet?" Ye Qiu squatted in front of Chu Ying, watching her tightly closed but her eyes were still gurgling. It was moving around.

"Tired." Chu Ying pulled up the quilt and turned her head away.

"Why are you so tired just eating a meal? I've worked all day, but I've eaten all of it. Ouch, have you peeked at the bride? They said she looks very good-looking." Chu Ying Cover your ears with a quilt.

Seeing that Chu Ying didn't want to listen, Ye Qiu stopped talking. Chu Ying likes to be quiet, maybe the banquet was too lively.But the next morning, Chu Ying disappeared without even saying hello. I don't know what happened to the child, but the bow and arrow on the wall were gone.

Since the last summer hunting with Lu Ming, I have a rough idea of ​​which places on the mountain are safer to go alone, and which places are not allowed to go with a dozen big men.

Chu Ying rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, grabbed a few handfuls of mud from the ground and wiped it off her body, and rolled it on the ground a few times, so that she could use the mud to cover up her smell.

This time I came to Chu Ying to familiarize myself with the environment first. After all, the last time I came on horseback, I just got a rough idea. Because I brought a small bamboo tube of water, Chu Ying did not look for the water source first, but looked at the animal footprints on the ground path. There are smaller plum-shaped footprints on it, which may be animals such as deer.

The shape of the footprints is relatively complete. Going a little further, Chu Ying saw a small pile of urine on the ground, so she continued to search. Originally, Chu Ying didn't want to hunt, but there were all signs that there were good prey ahead. Sure enough, after walking for a while, Chu Ying Seeing a male deer alone, Chu Ying slowly squatted down, pulled out the iron-tipped arrow from the arrow basket, and pressed the sword lightly.

Bucks have sharper ears, and I don’t have a horse as a mount, so I can’t catch up with the buck in terms of speed. Even if I catch up, it’s hard to grasp the accuracy of the bow and arrow. target.

Chu Ying could only hold her breath and aim at the target. This arrow could only be one arrow, and it was also the most critical arrow. If she didn't shoot correctly, she would have no chance to catch it again.

Chu Ying drew the bow to the full and quickly let go, watching the arrow hit the buck, the buck ran quickly with the arrow, Chu Ying was sure that the arrow hit the buck, got up and ran to catch up, It took a while to run along the blood trail before seeing the downed buck.Chu Ying put the bow behind her back, picked up the knife tied to her leg, covered the eyes of the buck, and cut off its main artery forcefully, so that the buck would die quickly and avoid too much pain.

After saying a simple prayer, Chu Ying began to peel off the buck's skin from the four feet. Chu Ying kept an eye on the movement around her from time to time, and waited for the skin to be completely peeled off. Chu Ying removed one of the buck's legs.

Wrap the buck's skin with the skin of its own four feet, and put the legs on the shoulders. Such a big buck must not be able to drag it by itself, even if it is a dragger, Chu Ying will have to go It's a long way to go home, but my main purpose today is to explore this mountain.

Chu Ying cut off a piece of the deer's heart, put it in her mouth, wiped off the blood on the knife with grass, and after putting the knife away, Chu Ying continued to move forward. The deer leg had to wait for a while before eating it. , the heart of the deer slowly replenished its strength on the road.

To be honest, this deer heart is more difficult to chew, because it is raw after all, but it is a good source of protein. The smell of blood is very strong, but it is very fresh. Chu Ying feels that the heart is still beating a little.

After walking a few more kilometers, Chu Ying took out the bird's nest picked up from the road and softened it with her hands. The bird's nest is made of very good tinder. Chu Ying picked up the twigs and wood, Put it aside, take out the flint and slowly hit sparks.

After all, this flint is not as good as modern lighters or magnesium rods, but after several times of lighting, there are still some charcoal dust and small sparks that gradually light up on the chicken coop. Chu Ying blew slowly with her mouth, took the chicken coop Get up, let the smoke blow up better, and when the smoke gets thicker and thicker, a bunch of flames burst out, Chu Ying puts the tinder into the cone built by the branches, and slowly adds branches on top.

After the fire stabilized, Chu Ying stuck the deer leg on a branch, and the other end on the ground next to the fire. Chu Ying sliced ​​the roasted venison off the outer layer with a knife, but it took less than a few hours to kill it. , the meat quality is still very delicious, even without adding salt and pepper, the original umami taste of venison is still very good.

Chu Ying tied up three long branches, stretched the buck's hide, leaned against the tree trunk to dry, and tore off some of the meat on the skin. This deer hide is relatively complete, but there is a gap in the belly. A small arrow wound is inevitable.

Chu Ying didn't know how much this piece of deerskin was worth, and it would be better to save up and sell it in the city.When it was almost time to eat, Chu Ying took a short rest, drank all the remaining water in the bamboo tube, and got up to find the water source.

Digesting food requires more water, so if there is no water and dehydration is fast, it is best not to eat even if there is food, which will cause severe dehydration.

Chu Ying lifted up a thinner vine with a branch, and looked at a small green snake with a triangular-shaped head lying on it, slowly backing away, and walking past, human beings cannot defeat nature, but must respect and conform to it. nature.

It was impossible for Chu Ying to kill anything she saw with a knife. Usually, Chu Ying would not kill unless it was necessary, and it was not like this tiny poisonous snake would come into contact with it head-on.

The jungle is not a road, there are tiny bugs, thorny leaves and branches with finger-high thorns. Chu Ying walked into a relatively dense bush and was blocked by the messy branches, but she only had a small knife on her body. , without the necessary machete in the jungle, I can only slowly chop off some main obstructions.When she walked out of the bushes, Chu Ying already had many minor wounds on her hands and legs. Chu Ying took out a small bottle of medicine for sword wounds, and wiped it on before moving forward. After all, if the wounds are exposed for a long time in such a place, it will Inflame the wound.Under certain conditions, Chu Ying didn't want to cause herself any other troubles. Chu Ying originally didn't want to take that road, but she felt that it would be closer, so she took the unfamiliar road. The reality is indeed worse than last time. Much closer, but the bushes were still too much of an obstacle.Before reaching the waterfall, Chu Ying heard a loud sound, and when she got to the side of the waterfall, the sound was deafening. Chu Ying stood beside the waterfall, let the water splash on her body, and relieved her sticky body after walking for a long time.
