my dream adventure

Chapter 149 Yuanyang Hot Pot (Nineteen)
"Okay, while my sister is looking for materials, let's prepare torches." He clapped his hands and pulled some scraped materials at his feet.

When making torches last night, the teenager happened to be asleep in the tent, so he did not witness the process of Lin Yuan making torches, but in fact the process of making torches is quite simple, that is, they have a lot to do today, if they don’t hurry up , it is very likely that there will be no way to finish it before the sun goes down.

"Speak, I'll listen." The young man picked up a few pieces of material, and made an appearance that he was ready to learn.

His learning ability has never been low. Although most of his skills were learned from a few instructors when he was in the research institute, he has basically learned all skills, including the use of guns and equipment, martial arts fighting, and even survival in the wild. , password cracking and so on.

Although the study during that period was extremely boring, for the teenager, it was the only period of life as a normal person.

"Well, it's actually very simple. Just do it like I did. First tie these small branches to the trunk, and then wait for them to get the pine tree back, and then tie the upper part." Lin Yuan did a simple demo.

He has made this thing several times recently, and he can become a master at making torches.If there are cloth strips and kerosene, soaking the cloth strips and tying them directly to the tree trunk is also a way to make torches.

It's a pity that they don't have similar tools at hand now, so they can only use Songming as a substitute.

"It doesn't look complicated, but how long can the torch burn?" The boy asked a very critical question, because he didn't have time to pay attention to this problem before.

"A good question. According to my observation, the burning time of a torch is about 4 to 5 minutes." Lin Yuan neatly arranged the half-finished torches on the ground.

"The time is too short, how can we prolong the burning time of the torch?" The young man tried to make one, and felt that it was really not complicated. During the short conversation, they had already made four semi-finished frames.

"Well, if there is more turpentine or animal fat, it will definitely burn longer, but we don't have such items at hand at present." Lin Yuan spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face.

"These things are actually not difficult to find, but at present, there may be no way to find so many materials." The boy thought while working, "The bats in the cave and the red mice in the bushes are all animals that can be obtained. channels of fat."

Lin Yuan took the frame he had tied, and tied it around with fresh vines, so that it would be a little stronger.

"Hunting consumes too much energy. We don't have that much time. We still need to weigh the pros and cons." He has a flexible mind and knows the priorities of things. elapsed time.

"You're right." The young man nodded with an understandable expression.

After a while, around three or four o'clock in the noon, Sister Yue came back excitedly with her younger sister, with many things still hanging on her hands.

The two looked over and saw that they actually went hunting and caught a lot of red mice.

"Fuck, have you guys fallen into a rat's nest, or what's wrong?" He put down the things in hand with a look of shock, and ran over enthusiastically to unload them.

These red mice are all fat and pleasant, and they are much fatter than the ones that Lin Yuan and the others caught with traps before.

Large and small mice, if you simply count them, there may be more than ten.

"Haha, it's all thanks to Sister Moon. After we met a swarm of mice, she killed many of them with a knife." Xiaoman waved his hands, which was really weird.

"Accident, it's just an accident." Sister Yue also smiled lightly, but she looked quite calm at this time, without any self-boasting appearance.

"Look, brother, I also found so many pine buds, which should be enough for us this time." Xiao Man spread out the white robe that Lin Yuan handed to her before leaving, and there were ten dense pine buds inside, at least to say the least. It weighs a few to twenty kilograms, and there is a lot of crystal clear turpentine that has been picked, which should indeed be enough for them.

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, seeing that it was the right choice to shoot them out.

"Okay, hurry up and wash your hands. Your beautiful young lady and I have boiled a lot of hot water to entertain you." He took out a lot of hot water boiled in bamboo tubes, and they did it while they were making torches. work.

"Haha, it's so warm. It's cold outside. It's freezing to death. I'm going to have a barbecue later." Xiaoman took the hot water with a smile, with a happy smile on his face.

Lin Yuan shook his head and thought, this little girl is really easy to satisfy.

"Go and sit down, I believe that the red mouse can be dealt with by me." Looking like a hardworking and capable little husband, he grabbed a dozen mice and walked to the other side of the bamboo forest, as far as possible from their camp. A little bit.

Otherwise, keep the internal organs in the camp, and I hate to provoke some carnivores who like blood.

"Wait, I'll go with you." The boy picked up the tool and followed Lin Yuan to the other side of the bamboo forest.

"Such a lot of rat meat should be able to be eaten for a long time. If it is made into bacon, it can be preserved for a period of time. Unfortunately, there is no salt, otherwise it can be preserved for a longer time." Lin Yuan muttered a few words, if there are more With food, their energy can also recover a little bit faster.

In this case, you can persist for a longer time. Wild life basically needs to meet a few small points, one is food and water, the other is shelter, the third is to explore the surrounding resource environment, and the fourth is environment and safety.

Food alone cannot guarantee that they can complete the entire main task, but they can obtain it for a longer period of time, and the possibility of victory will be better.

"The quality of these furs looks good. I wonder if they can be used to make other things?" The boy cut off the mouse's hands and feet from the corpse, and then began to peel the skin from the mouse's head. The whole action was very familiar.

The mouse's skin, like a sock, was quickly peeled off from the body.

Lin Yuan smacked his lips and looked at his skillful movements in surprise, as if he had done it many times before. He had never seen a boy handling dead animals before, so he thought he was a layman who knew nothing.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

"Have you ever done these jobs before?" he asked slightly curiously.

"It doesn't seem to be in my memory, but my learning ability is relatively good, and I can quickly learn the work I have seen." The young man showed a cute expression, a little unconcerned.

"What a genius, we ordinary people are really ashamed of ourselves." Lin Yuan shook his head, and pulled out the mouse's internal organs. It felt sticky and slightly disgusting.

He tried his best to regard the mouse as a normal fish or chicken, not thinking that it was also a lively and jumping life form.

"By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. What's the use of this mouse skin?" The young man seemed a little persistent in his tangled questions, as if he would never give up until he asked clearly.

"Haha, the treatment of animal fur is not that simple. It needs to be embalmed for a period of time, otherwise there is no way to preserve it." He showed a cheerful smile and was relieved by the boy's curiosity, "Actually, you asked a very good question. Any resources in wild life cannot be wasted. It is good to use this fur to keep warm. If it is not that we do not have time to make it now, otherwise it cannot be directly wasted. "

"It sounds very complicated. If it is antiseptic, it may be preliminarily treated with plant ash after drying, and it may also have a certain preservation effect." The young man is very good at drawing inferences from one example, and he skewered the cleaned mice with miscanthus grass on the side of the road , which seems to be more convenient to carry.

"Well, it's okay. I'll talk about this later. Roast the meat first, otherwise in this state, it won't last long and it's easy to get stale." He grabbed a few and plucked the skins, The little mouse got up and looked around, ready to find a clean stone to use as a chopping board for cutting.

"That place is nice, very flat." The boy pointed in a direction, and sure enough there was a nice stone under the sun.

"Let's go, let's go there." Lin Yuan carried the things and put them on the stone.

Take out the sharpened bamboo knife to cut, evenly along the muscle line of the animal, cut into meat strips of similar length, and remove the bones inside by the way.

"Your movements are very proficient. It can be seen that you often cook." The boy's movements are much more clumsy, and the bamboo knife is not very sharp, and a lot of meat is tossed out of shape.

"Practice more. No one knows everything right from birth. Your learning ability is good, and you can quickly figure out the tricks." Lin Yuan nodded his approval, and the young man's movements still look good.

"I see that there seem to be some wild spices over there. Will it taste better if you add it to the meat to marinate?" The young man looked at a bush of wild basil next to him, which grew very fertile.

"That's right, I'll take some back later. Let's find a place farther away from the camp to bury these internal organs and bones, otherwise the animals will invade our camp following the smell of blood." He raised a concern of his own.

In 30 minutes, the two dissected more than a dozen mice. On the way back, they picked a lot of spices and pine leaves, and prepared to make pine leaf bacon, which should taste good.

"You guys are back!" Xiaoman happily stood up and waved to Lin Yuan and the two, with an excited look as if they hadn't seen each other in several lifetimes.

"Hey, add more fire, we'll make bacon later!" Lin Yuan ostentatiously raised his hand and waved the meat strips in his hands, which was actually a bit stupid.
