Live in Doomsday Wasteland

Chapter 154 Food Problem Solved
Appearing in front of Chen Qi's eyes were reindeer "all over the mountains and plains".

It might be an exaggeration to say so, but as far as Chen Qi could see, there were at least dozens of reindeer on the sloping mountains, and more were still out of his sight.

As a kind of migratory action, reindeer will not always live in one area. Once they have such a large-scale gathering phenomenon, it proves that this group of reindeer will soon chase food and start to move to the next place advance.

In other words, if he missed this time, Chen Qi might have to wait a few months until spring came, or he was lucky enough to wait until another batch of reindeer came near this mountain.

"Time doesn't wait for me, why don't I wait!"

His hands and feet were almost warm, and Chen Qi was lying on his stomach in the cave entrance. Under such circumstances, he couldn't use the bow and arrow well.

However, the reindeer is a very alert animal, with a particularly sensitive sense of hearing. If Chen Qi just went out like this, he might be discovered by the other party, and it would be a waste of success.

"I have been hiding in the snow cave before, look at the door, there are reindeer footprints there.

A few reindeer even walked past my door.If I woke up earlier, I might be able to get the prey directly and easily.

But now, we have to wait..."

Chen Qi's waiting didn't last long. Not far from him, two strong stags were struggling to express themselves for the right to breed.

They don't back up and give themselves an impact like sheep. As an animal that weighs hundreds of kilograms and has a big horn that often exceeds one meter in length and width, that kind of attack will often kill them. Life.

Therefore, the two big-horned bucks just kept testing each other, and the two pairs of antlers collided from time to time.

But from Chen Qi's point of view, that seems to be closer to "showing off" one's own role.

"Hey, you don't know, the deer herd during this time period are basically in the breeding period, so when the fawn is born, it will avoid the cold winter during its growth period, and the chance of surviving will be greatly increased.

This is one of the reasons why reindeer gather in herds.

During this time period, bucks will temporarily stop eating, or eat very little.

This makes them lower in fat and less tasty meat.

So, our target is not the big bucks who are showing themselves, but the does who are watching, or the young bucks. "

……

A small deer is constantly looking for food, looking for moss on the exposed rocks on the ridge, raising its head from time to time, looking at the "reproduction war" ahead.

When it gradually moved closer and closer to Chen Qi until it turned its back to Chen Qi, Chen Qi's opportunity came.

At this time, Chen Qi didn't care too much about the snow cave, so Chen Qi got up quietly, knelt at the entrance of the snow cave, leaned out most of his body, and drew his bow and arrow.

The sound of the bucks' antlers hitting and the sound of the deer's hooves trampling on the rocks well covered up the sound of snow falling on some snow caves on Chen Qi's side.

When the little deer finally turned sideways, Chen Qi, who was ten meters away, shot an arrow, which precisely hit the upper shoulder blade of the little deer.

Although the deer standing sideways on a ridge with a certain slope did not die after being hit by the arrow, it lost its balance on all fours and fell to the ground.

Chen Qi calmly added another arrow, which hit Xiao Lu in the stomach.

The poor little male deer, who was not a womanizer, was killed by Chen Qi's arrow before the deer reached its peak.

The fighting and display of the deer flocked for a moment. They were stunned for a few seconds, then they ran away with a bang, and ran desperately into the distance along the direction of the ridge.

Chen Qi didn't care about hiding, so he just shot arrows at the herd of deer in the distance, but of course he didn't catch anything.

But Chen Qi wasn't depressed, he was simply overjoyed.

"Ahahahahahaha! I really succeeded! Fuck!!! Hahahaha!"

Climbing up with his hands on the ground, this arch collapsed the outer layer of the entire snow cave.

Chen Qi didn't care about that either, he laughed and ran out, running to Xiao Lu's side.

"Oh! It's not easy! For the headhunting deer, I slept in the snow all night in the winter!
Am I easy? Me! "

................................................

On the way back down the mountain while dragging the deer, Chen Qi grinned nonstop.

This fawn has enough venison to feed at least a normal person for a few weeks.

For a person like Chen Qi who is suffering from severe physical exertion and calorie loss, that is enough to eat for at least three weeks.

Save some food, Chen Qi didn't even need to go fishing at all, to find grouse, hunt other prey, and find other food, so he could spend the remaining 30 days completely.

This was the first time that Chen Qi was able to bring back a whole deer in its entirety.

Although it was a fawn, the amount of meat on its body was certainly not comparable to the two thighs of an adult stag.

What's more, this complete deer can provide him with a piece of deerskin, and all the internal organs that can supplement vitamins and other nutrients.

Of course Chen Qi would be very happy.

…………

Originally, Chen Qi should have dealt with this deer directly in the wild, so as to avoid bloody smell everywhere near his place of residence.

This can also reduce the weight of some deer, making it easier for Chen Qi to transport it back.

However, there are no bears in the wild now, and Chen Qi's sledge is at the foot of the mountain, so he just bled the deer, and didn't spend any time rummaging through the collapsed snow cave for tools and finding arrows all over the mountain. The branch takes a long time.

Deer blood is a very good tonic in many places, but it seems that the deer is generally not a reindeer.

There are sika deer and moose, but not reindeer anyway.

Besides, in such a completely wild environment, Chen Qi actually didn't dare to have any thoughts about deer blood. He had no way to solve the problems of diseases and parasites.

……

Until he returned to the cabin, Chen Qi didn't stop smiling.

When I went there, it was still yesterday morning, and I walked for more than two hours in a light car.

When he came back, it was already noon that day, pulling a deer, it took almost two hours for Chen Qi to come back.

That is called a return home like an arrow!

The deer was dragged away by him for two hours, and the bloodletting also took some time, which also accelerated the loss of body temperature of the deer.

Therefore, when Chen Qi brought this deer back, it was frozen stiff.

First, the deer was brought into the log cabin, and the stove was raised to slow down the freezing, while Chen Qi was happily chopping firewood outside.

About half an hour later, Chen Qi's wood was almost processed, and he went back to add some firewood to the stove. Chen Qi dragged the deer out and started processing.

……

According to the rules, Chen Qi should still turn the drone's camera to the side so that he can't see where he is doing it.

However, I don't know if Chen Qi was so happy that he forgot, or if he did it on purpose. This time, he didn't deliberately avoid the audience.

……

First, he dealt with the deer's head "roughly". In this step, Chen Qi used an axe.

Next came the part where the knife was used. Chen Qi didn't have a knife, so he used the small dagger.

The work of skinning is a relatively delicate job, and it took Chen Qi a lot of time to peel off the whole piece of deerskin.

The parts of the limbs, the head, and the two small arrow holes are deducted, and it is considered a complete fur.

"This thing, together with the bear's, can bear the part of my mattress.

Still needs to be dealt with, but we'll have to wait a while. "

In the world of ice and snow, the meat freezes extremely fast, Chen Qi must first handle those meat parts properly.

For the limbs, Chen Qi used a small knife to cut open the flesh bit by bit, and then "broke off" the deer leg with some brute force, which took him a lot of effort.

There should be a quicker and less labor-intensive way to deal with this kind of place, but that is the professional knowledge that doctors and butchers only understand. Chen Qi feels that he should also learn this part of knowledge in the future.

After busy work until the afternoon, Chen Qi finally almost finished handling the whole fawn.

At this time, Chen Qi should have divided up the venison carefully, and then hung it on a shelf to dry and store it.

But he was still too tired and too hungry.

After a busy day, the last time I had a hot meal was breakfast more than 30 hours ago.

"Today's lunch is yours!"

Chen Qi chose the kidney and liver.

……

After treating the sticky white tendons and throwing away the smelly things, Chen Qi simply washed them with hot water, then changed the knife and put them in a frying pan for frying.

When the sound of Zila sounded, Chen Qi felt that his whole body had been sublimated.

Because there is no staple food, Chen Qi's meals are pure blueberries and other berries besides meat.

This feast of viscera, which he hadn't eaten for a long time, made Chen Qi feel like a ditch. During the whole meal, he made comments like "beautiful juice" more than once.

………………

Er Miao's fan: "Old Ba has someone to succeed me, son, I am very pleased!"

M The Mandalorian: "Wow~ The little deer is so cute, it looks like roasting its kidney~!"

Still wanting to sleep today, young master: "After Chen Qi ate this meal, his body fat rate has finally improved a bit."

Heart-warming red fruit: "Well, it tastes great when the body fat rate is high."

Kagou Ming: "Some people put Chen Qi in the computer, some people put Chen Qi in their hearts, and some people want to put Chen Qi in their stomachs"

Ren Xian: "Chen Qi's jaw line is clearer than my life now"

Chen Xingling: "When I think that there are 10,000+ people who are greedy with me at the same time, I suddenly don't feel sad."

A pan-fried bun: "Think too much, I just ate the tiger skin pork knuckle"

Red Sky: "Thinking too much, the spicy chicken wings are so delicious!"

Don't look at my favorites: "Think too much, the cod porridge has a unique flavor."

Jiang Zhejun: "No one can say no to braised pork, fried chicken legs, braised pork, fried rice with eggs, and a bottle of Coke. No!"

………………

All the fans ate better than Chen Qi, but what Chen Qi ate was indeed much happier and happier than theirs.

Hunger is always the best seasoning, which is a universal truth throughout the ages.

After finishing his "one meal", Chen Qi sat by the stove and thought about it for a long time.

These days, Chen Qi has been shrouded in the crisis of food shortage.The failure of two huntings made Chen Qi doubt his "good luck" all the time.

Of course, the fans can also see how much courage Chen Qi mustered to hunt this deer, before he dared to live in the snow cave overnight.

For this deer, Chen Qi ate not only food, but also spiritual comfort.

……

"Okay! Sajia is full, go out and tidy up the meat. Hehehe..."

Thinking that he really brought back a whole deer, Chen Qi was very happy.

The venison was brought into the house by Chen Qi just now, and placed on the leftover spruce branches from a certain time.

For these different parts of meat, Chen Qi also thinks that they should be placed and handled in different ways.

Chen Qi placed the ribs, the whole spine, and some meat from other parts directly on the snow a little far from the door of the cabin.

In order to prevent the birds from stealing his food, Chen Qi also used a shovel to cover a lot of snow on it.

In this way, it is equivalent to putting them into a large natural refrigerator.

For the remaining pure meat parts, Chen Qi took some time to divide them into pieces of meat, which were connected to each other without being cut off.

In this way, Chen Qi can directly hang them on the meat rack, and after they are all hung up, set up a pile of alder wood fires underneath, and the processing will be considered complete.

All that remains is the head and limbs.

To be honest, Chen Qi didn't know how to eat the head of a deer, or even if he could eat it at all.

The food is basically sufficient now, just to be on the safe side, Chen Qi still didn't make any unnecessary attempts.

The entire deer head, except for the tongue and antlers, was left by Chen Qi, and Chen Qi threw the rest in the snow far away and buried it.

The deer tongue is also delicious, and it doesn't need too many seasonings and accessories to be delicious. Of course, Chen Qi will not let it go.

Antlers, Chen Qi now has two sets of antlers, the previous one was hung on the wall of the cabin by Chen Qi, and this one, Chen Qi is going to find a way to fix it on the door.

Of course deer hooves are also edible, but it is more complicated to deal with. Chen Qi originally thought about making them tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have anything to do.

"Then deal with a deer hoof and eat it. It's just right, I didn't enjoy eating just now."

Hanging the deer's hoof with a rope, Chen Qi carefully decomposed the outer cortex of the deer's hoof bit by bit with the help of the stove and lights with a small dagger.

It has been several hours since Chen Qi came back to deal with this whole deer, and it has already darkened unknowingly today.

But Chen Qi didn't feel tired at all, it was also work, and this kind of work was much more interesting than cutting down trees.

"With enough food as a foundation, we can also have some confidence to do other things.

What the hell I want to fish now, I want to kill chickens and chickens, and if I'm not happy, I'll stay in the house for a whole day without going out. "

Tomorrow, Chen Qi decided to find something else first, such as some wild vegetables.

Inuit people can eat vegetables and fruits, so there's no reason why they can't.

But before that, you still have to study the issue of getting out of bed and other furniture.

Sitting on tree stumps all the time is not a problem after all.
