Wan Lin and Xiaoya looked at each other and smiled. They walked towards some rocks on the shore of the lake. Then they took off the backpacks behind them and sat down on the rocks by the lake.
The two of them sat on the rock and slowly adjusted their Qi. They looked at the two leopards floating up and down in the water with smiles in their eyes. They knew that they were feasting in the water and enjoying the fresh food in the water. fish.
After a while, Xie Chao came back with a lot of dead branches. He placed a few large pebbles in a small circle by the lake. Then he placed the dead branches in the center of the stones. He took out Wan Lin and gave them to him. He glanced at the lighter, then carefully lit a dead branch and placed it under the firewood. "Whew" a flame suddenly burst out from the pile of firewood. In the blink of an eye, a raging flame ignited.
Xie Chao looked at the lighter in his hand happily. Then he carefully put it into his pocket. He took out a flat clay kettle and stood up. He said to Wan Lin and Xiaoya who were resting and practicing aside: "Brother, eldest sister, put your Give me the kettle. I'll go fill some lake water."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw ripples suddenly appearing on the lake. Then he saw two furry little heads emerging from the water. Then a big silver-white fish suddenly rose from the water. Two The kitten bit the head and tail of the big fish with its big mouth, and was quickly pushing the big fish towards the shore.
Xie Chao was dumbfounded as he stared at the strange scene in front of him. Only then did he realize that the eldest brother of the Wan family had invited him to eat grilled fish. It turned out that two kittens had gone into the lake to catch big fish for them.
He ran to the shore in surprise. He bent down and pushed the two kittens to the shore and grabbed the big fish. He grabbed the gills and lifted the big fish up. The big fish was nearly half a meter long. It had white scales. Silver light flashed in the sunlight. It weighed seven or eight kilograms.
Wan Lin and Xiaoya also stood up from the rocks with a smile. Wan Lin took a step forward and took a look at the big fish that was wagging its tail slightly. He smiled and said to Xie Chao: "I'm not lying to you. Let's clean up." Let’s eat grilled fish later.” He said, taking a folding knife handed over by Xiaoya, and called Xie Chao to walk aside.
It didn't take long. Xie Chao excitedly walked back to the fire with the big fish he had cleaned up. He was holding the military dagger captured in the forest. At this time, Xiaoya had already filled the kettle with water and put it in the fire. On the fire.
Xie Chao turned around and handed the big fish to Wan Lin. Then he ran to the edge of the forest behind. After a while, he ran back with a pile of firewood and a bamboo as thick as his wrist. He quickly fixed the big fish on the bamboo pole. Above. I made a simple barbecue rack out of branches and bamboos. Then I put the big fish on top of the flame and slowly started rotating it.
Wan Lin and Xiaoya looked at the excited Xie Chao with smiles. They knew that they had lived in the mountains and forests for a long time and were very good at making these game meats.
After a while, the aroma of meat came out from the fire. The big silver fish had turned brown.
Xie Chao quickly sliced out a few golden fish fillets with a dagger in his hand. He handed them to Xiaoya and Wan Lin and said with a smile: "It smells so good. Your two kittens are awesome." He turned around. Looking at the two leopards lying on the rocks nearby, lazily basking in the sun.
Wan Lin tasted the fish fillets that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He smiled and said: "Hehehe. As long as we, Xiaohua and Xiaobai, are here, we won't be hungry." As he said this, he turned to look at the two leopards.
Xiaohua and Xiaobai lay comfortably on the rocks. Their heads were pressed tightly against the rocks warmed by the sun. Their tails were raised and they shook slowly at Wan Lin, looking nonchalant.
Xiaoya chewed the delicious food. She turned her head and saw the appearance of two leopards. She burst into laughter and said, "You are so arrogant. Come here and try the grilled fish fillets made by Brother Xiaochao."
When the two leopards heard Xiaoya's words, they raised their heads and sniffed hard. Then they laid their heads on the rocks. They closed their eyes slightly, looking disdainful.
Everyone laughed. Wan Lin stood up and said to Xie Chao: "You can eat some too. I'll bake it." Xie Chao smiled and waved his hand and said: "You are guests. How can I let you bake? You go first Eat such a big fish, it’s enough for us to eat”…
Several people had a delicious meal. Wan Lin patted his belly and looked at Xiaoya beside him with a smile. Seeing that there was no tired look on her face, he turned to Xie Chao and asked, "We are here overnight. Should we rush there or leave tomorrow morning?"
He was worried that Xie Chao's weak skills would not be able to bear this kind of continuous march in the mountains, so he specifically asked for his opinion.
Xie Chao extinguished the fire. He turned to look at Wan's sister beside him and said with a smile: "Let's travel all night. We hunters often chase our prey. Sometimes we don't get much rest for several days. This mountain road is not a problem for us." Then he looked at the military dagger in his hand fondly and said, "This knife is so fast."
Wan Lin stood up. He stretched out his hand to pull Xiaoya up and said, "Of course. These are military daggers. They are extremely sharp. You have to be careful when using them." He said to Xiaohua and Xiaobai, "Xiaohua, Xiaobai." Bai. Let’s go.”
The two leopards seemed impatient to wait for a long time. When they heard Wan Lin's words, they jumped up from the rocks. They ran around and lowered their heads to smell the grass. They turned around and ran away along the shore.
Wan Lin and the others quickly picked up their backpacks and followed quickly. As Xie Chao walked, he looked at the two kittens in front of him with fondness. He said with envy: "Your two kittens are awesome. I also wanted to have a pet." "But none of the animals can stand the cold in our mountains. When I was a kid, a few of them either ran away or died. You two kittens are so awesome. They are not afraid of the cold in the mountains."
At this time, the two leopards were running left and right on the grass by the lake, looking for the target scent. They heard the newly met young man behind them always calling them "kitten" and "kitten". At this time He suddenly stopped and turned around to stare at Xie Chao fiercely. He bared his teeth and showed a fierce look.
Xie Chao, who was walking more than ten meters behind them with Wan Lin, suddenly saw two kittens stopping to threaten him. He was so frightened that he quickly stopped. His hand immediately pressed on the handle of the scimitar at his waist. He was at the top of the mountain. I saw two kittens showing off their power online, and I felt a little nervous.
Xiaoya in the back giggled when she saw the two leopards. She came over and said to Xie Chao: "Don't call us leopards and kittens. They must be unhappy." She said to the two leopards. He waved his hands and said, "You want to call us Xiaohua and Xiaobai, right?"
Only then did Xiao Chao realize that he had violated the taboo of the two little leopards. He quickly released the hand holding the knife handle and clasped his fists with both hands. He clasped his fists at the two kittens in front of him who were staring at him fiercely. He said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes. It's Xiaohua and Xiaobai." The two leopards stared at him fiercely, then turned around and continued running forward.
