Volume 1 Brother, Brother Chapter 1 The best taste in the world is barbecue (3)
Zhang Qi leaned under a huge yellow pine tree and looked at the pile of rocks in front of him, dumbfounded and speechless.
In fact, he didn't run very far into the depths of the forest. Compared to the two soldiers, he was actually more frightened. He only ran a few dozen feet and stopped when he heard the loud noise. But he didn't look back, he was just wary of the Earthly Branches.
I was stunned, not hearing the footsteps of the two soldiers, so I let out a long breath, then walked along the forest path to the foot of the yellow pine, and found a natural stone stove made of several stones.
I took out half a rabbit and a small snake from under the dry firewood, and washed and skinned them all.
The rabbit and the little snake were both hunted by him in the woods yesterday afternoon. Although he has no cultivation, it is not too difficult to deal with these two first-level monsters, since the little snake is not poisonous yet. He ate it yesterday
Halfway through, he went to the foot of the city wall to find a leeward place to spend the night. These delicious rabbit meat and snake meat were left here. Now he took these things out, naturally because he was hungry.
Put the leftover firewood from last night's burning in the stove. Fortunately, the firewood has not been soaked by the remaining snow. Use two thin wooden sticks to put the rabbit meat and snake meat. Everything is ready, all you need is flint——
Hey, where is my flint?
Making a fire is very simple. Just touch two flints to create sparks, and you can ignite dry wood.
But Zhang Qi touched his whole body and found to his great chagrin that his flint had been lost somewhere!
How could this happen, how could this happen! How could I make a fire without flint? Do I need to go into Donghua City to have breakfast? But I don’t have a single coin on me, and I can’t find anything to eat when I enter the city, let alone
To go so far!
Otherwise, find a small shop to buy, no, get some food on credit——
As soon as the idea came up, he slapped himself hard.
"Zhang Qi, what are you thinking about? You must not be a beggar. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not!"
Zhang Qi was angrily and reprimanded himself sternly in his heart: "We can be poor, we can have no divine blood, we can have no acupoints and cannot practice cultivation, but we cannot lose our ambition! We can throw away anything in this life.
Don’t lose your ambition!”
This is the philosophy he has always adhered to, so although he is three points poorer than a beggar, he has taken good care of himself, and seems to be a free and easy-going, elegant and distinguished young man: he can be poor and wander.
, you can hunt small animals in the wilderness, pick wild fruits and weeds, and even eat bark and grass roots, but you are not allowed to beg!
Even if he has a surname of Heavenly Abandonment, even if he doesn't have a drop of divine blood in his body, even in this world where everyone practices, strength is respected, and nobility is supreme, he can't practice at all, even if he is a useless person, he still can't practice.
No begging!
Moreover, today, this concept seems to be even stronger.
In fact, Zhang Qi himself could feel it. It was as if he had undergone some changes since he woke up from that dream this morning. Some of the shrinkage he had suffered from years of wandering had disappeared, but he had become more relaxed and relaxed.
There are three points of perseverance.
He didn't know where this change came from. It seemed that there was something extra in his mind, but he didn't know what it was.
But do you think he was thinking about these things? No, he just looked at it stupidly, his eyes were distracted, and he didn't think about anything.
He seemed to have entered a mysterious space. Although he was in the sun, in the woods, and in the remaining snow, everything around him seemed to have disappeared, and what he saw was darkness - oh, no, it was not completely darkness, there was still some darkness.
Sparkly.
It was a spark in the vast black universe, as thin as a dust, but so shining that his eyes involuntarily focused on it: then, he saw it seemed to jump, and suddenly it
It burst open and turned into a ball of flame!
The flame was not big, smaller than the little finger; it trembled slightly, like a poisonous snake suddenly spitting out a message, and instantly turned into a thin line of fire; then a wall of fire rose into the sky, with brilliant tongues of flame licking the night sky; then, the wall of fire
It collapsed suddenly, and the entire mysterious dark space was filled with red flames, as if even the space was on fire.
However, in just an instant, the sea of fire disappeared, the wall of fire, and the flames also disappeared, leaving only a single spark in the entire space.
Zhang Qi stared blankly. He didn't know where this scene came from, where it was going, or what this space was. But as he watched quietly, he seemed to have some understanding, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
The index finger of his right hand drew a strange pattern in front of him.
Something happened that almost made his eyes pop out: a ball of fire appeared on his finger out of thin air!
He was so frightened that he shivered all over, and the flame seemed to burn his fingertips, so his hand trembled and the flame disappeared.
But that strange pattern was deeply imprinted in his mind.
He closed his eyes and thought carefully: the flame was real, had temperature, and could ignite the firewood in the stove, he was convinced.
That pattern is a magical pattern that can "change" flames out of thin air!
He opened his eyes again and looked into the distance with vigilance: just a few dozen feet away from him was the official road from Donghua City to Wucheng. People were coming and going on the official road, and faint laughter could be heard.
and the sound of hooves, but apparently no one noticed this forest.
Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the stove with a complicated expression, then stretched out his right index finger and slowly drew the pattern.
This time he drew very slowly, as if he wanted to imprint it more firmly in his mind. However, the effect was not affected. He quickly finished drawing the pattern, and then the fingertips of his right hand trembled, and a small flame the size of a mung bean appeared.
It appeared again. He carefully put it on the stove, and with a flash of red light, a dry firewood stick was ignited, and flames and green smoke curled up.
"Great, this is just like moving flint. From now on, when I go over mountains and ridges, I won't have to worry about being unable to light a fire!"
Zhang Qi thought happily, took out two small bottles from the stove, and sprinkled the cumin and pepper on the rabbit and snake meat. After a while, a strong aroma of barbecue began to spread in the forest.
Float away.
When droplets of oil were roasted from the meat and dripped into the flames of the stove, Zhang Qi moved his index finger even more when smelling the slightly burnt meat aroma. If the meat hadn't been completely cooked, he wouldn't have been able to bear it.
I want to grab it: the most delicious thing in the world is barbecue!
In this tempting meaty aroma, he even had auditory hallucinations:
"Excuse me, can I eat your flesh?" This chapter has been completed!
