The thirty-fourth chapter desperate mandarin duck (2)
Zhang Xiaowu was exhausted but could not fall asleep. Not far away, the Jialan River was surging and the sound was like ten thousand horses galloping. Every sound seemed to be beating on his chest, making him breathless. He took a long breath.
A feeling of sadness arose in his heart, as if for the first time in many days, he had time to think deeply.
"The sky is huge, but where can I go? The whole army of the 27th regiment was wiped out, the general's whereabouts are unknown, and Tucheng fell into the enemy's hands. I am alone. Even if I return to the Holy Han, I will be arrested as a deserter.
Get up." Zhang Xiaowu asked himself that he was not an ambitious person, and he did not have the determination to fight for hegemony in troubled times. Moreover, now that the Holy Han was tyrannical, he alone carried all the countries in the Western Region and the North, and the countries could only rely on natural dangers to shrink from the bad soil. This was really not the case.
What a troubled time. Even if you are a bandit, you still have to worry about the imperial army sending troops to encircle and suppress you at all times. It is difficult for a person without status to survive in the prosperous times.
"It's pitiful that I am a time-traveler, but I don't even have the ability to survive?" He thought about it carefully. Before time-traveling, he studied computer education. This major is nowadays...
"It's really impossible to survive. Those who are useless are those who study computers. The most useless ones who study computers are those who study computer education." Zhang Xiaowu was so depressed that he fell asleep thinking about it.
At dawn the next day, the two of them woke up from hunger. Zhang Xiaowu got up and looked around. He saw a group of geese flying away from the grass to look for food, so he ran over and found bird eggs in the grass. He found eggs in each nest.
I picked up a few, not all of them, but collected a dozen eggs in total and ran back.
Yin Jiuer realized that nothing happened last night, and her thoughts became complicated. She was thinking about things with a red face. When she saw him coming back, her face became even redder, and she saw him holding a nest of eggs. She asked in surprise: "Are these duck eggs?"
"That's right." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.
Wild goose eggs are larger than duck eggs and chicken eggs, and are just like goose eggs. The two of them were very happy to get the food. The next meal was ready, but eating raw wild goose eggs was hard to swallow. Zhang Xiaowu did not panic.
, he came to the river again and looked for flints by the river. Zhang Xiaowu often encountered this kind of flints when he was playing by the water as a child. Sparks were generated when two stones collided. Unfortunately, there were no flints by the Jialan River for the time being, so they could only
They continued up the river to search. The two ate bread again and walked along the river while looking for flints.
After walking along the Jialan River for a day, Zhang Xiaowu finally found two flints in the evening. So he started to light a fire happily, but unfortunately there was no fire until dark. If Jiu'er hadn't been encouraging him, Zhang Xiaowu would have started a fire long ago.
Throw away these two "useless" pieces of flint.
Looking at a pile of wild goose eggs that seemed to look at him mockingly, Zhang Xiaowu said angrily: "Actually, these eggs can also be eaten raw."
Jiuer looked suspicious, but he was really hungry and had to eat the egg liquid raw. However, he never expected that the first wild goose egg Zhang Xiaowu opened turned out to be a hairy egg, and there was an undeveloped bird embryo inside the eggshell.
"Can't you eat this?" Jiu'er asked hesitantly.
Naturally, raw eggs cannot be eaten. Zhang Xiaowu threw them on the ground helplessly and sighed helplessly: "My hometown has a kind of barbecue called roasted eggs, but I heard from the old man that you can't eat raw eggs because it will cause diarrhea. In our hometown, we can't eat raw eggs."
There are two ways to make raw eggs, one is to bake them, the other is to eat them fried, they taste so delicious..." He swallowed and said fiercely: "I won't go to sleep if I don't light a fire today.
"
Huangtian paid off. It was almost midnight, and the fire was finally lit. The two of them were as excited as if they had dug a treasure. After the fire was set, Zhang Xiaowu first dug a pit and buried all the wild goose eggs, and then
Move the bonfire to the wild goose eggs and roast the wild goose eggs in the same way as a beggar's chicken.
Eating barbecue in the middle of the night is the essence of Northeastern barbecue. Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help laughing when he recalled the scene of having barbecue with his classmates when he was a child.
Jiuer asked: "Brother Xiaowu, why are you laughing? Is it so delicious? There is no salt in it."
"There will be salt meetings, there will be braised pork, there will be everything." Zhang Xiaowu said, looking at the bonfire, he suddenly thought of some interesting things he had done at work in the past, so he slightly modified the story and told it to Jiu'er, saying:
"Jiu'er, let me tell you a story. Come and be by my side."
Jiu'er sat aside obediently, holding her chin in her hands, looking at him curiously like a child.
The eyes of the girl by the campfire were full of intelligence and gentleness. She looked at him curiously like a child, and cuddled up to him like a little wife. Zhang Xiaowu could even smell the fragrance of her skin in the air, which was the unique fragrance of a girl.
There was some silence for a moment.
Jiu'er was filled with joy and asked with a blushing face: "What are you looking at? Where's the story?"
Zhang Xiaowu immediately flashed a smile, like a fire blooming at night. He didn't know why he suddenly became happy. Maybe it was because he was relied on, or he finally established a communication channel with the world. He shook his head and said softly:
"When I was just working--when I joined the army, our leader held a ceremony during a festival.
There was an egg-eating competition. Whoever could eat five eggs in the shortest time would get a leg of lamb. Think about it, as a big guy like me, I naturally couldn't lag behind, so I signed up. I didn't wait until the competition.
I found that eating eggs was so painful. I ate one quickly and couldn't eat the second one, especially because the yolk was dry."
Jiuer giggled: "I don't like egg yolks either. What happened next? Did you win the championship?"
Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said: "I naturally won the championship later, because I ate all the egg whites first, and the remaining four egg yolks were stuffed into my mouth. I raised my hand and said I was finished. When I got the leg of lamb, I ran away immediately
I went to the latrine and vomited out the four egg yolks because I couldn't eat them anymore."
Jiuer laughed for a long time and suddenly said: "Why are you so wasteful? You can't live like this in the future."
Zhang Xiaowu said seriously: "Here, little pepper."
Jiuer smiled so much that she bent over, feeling so happy in her heart that she only hoped that the two of them would always be so happy.
After a while, Jiu'er fell asleep holding Zhang Xiaowu. Zhang Xiaowu also wanted to let himself fall asleep, but Jiu'er's body made him feel a little hot, and the uncontrollable impulse made him couldn't help but reach out his hand. Just when his hand touched her skirt
when, came from a distance
A bird chirped, and Zhang Xiaowu sobered up a lot in an instant. He stroked Jiu'er's long hair, which was as soft as silk. He smiled to himself. Maybe it was the wilderness that allowed his animal nature to flourish, and even the self-proclaimed
Indifference to the opposite sex has also become a trait.
He slapped his right hand and scolded: "It's all your fault, why are you moving?" When he lowered his head, he saw Jiu'er squinting and looking at him with a snicker.
"..."
In the dark night, Zhang Xiaowu's face was as red as a monkey's butt.
In the morning, Zhang Xiaowu was embarrassed and wanted to apologize, but he saw Jiu'er humming a prairie song and looking happy. She also washed her hair by the water, but there was no soapberry, which made her a little disappointed and muttered resentfully.
What? Zhang Xiaowu walked over and couldn't help laughing when he heard her cursing that Quan Yi deserved to die.
Relying on roasted wild goose eggs, the two of them sustained themselves for another three days. On the fifth day of their escape, they encountered a group of wild sheep by the river. Zhang Xiaowu immediately tore his clothes into strips of cloth and wetted them in the water to make a rope.
, and then tied two stones together to make a simple flying stone rope.
The first time Zhang Xiaowu used the flying stone rope, he was worried that he would not hit the sheep but injured Jiu'er, so he asked her to stay away. Jiu'er immediately hid aside, and Zhang Xiaowu waved the flying stone rope, as if it was serious.
, but soon Jiuer was so amused that he almost rolled on the floor because Zhang Xiaowu tied himself up with a flying stone rope.
Jiuer hurriedly ran over and rescued him, saying, "Brother Xiao Wu, I thought you could do everything?"
Zhang Xiaowu said without blushing, "It's a small mistake, it's a little mistake." He then said, "You still laugh, you still laugh, hurry up and untie the rope, otherwise my husband will bully you again."
The young bride suddenly blushed and said "Bah", but she felt happy in her heart. Suddenly something occurred to her, she raised her head and pretended to be evil: "Brother Xiao Wu, I am the wife of your Ming matchmaker. You can't take a concubine unless I die."
, otherwise I will make your Zhang family extinct."
"So ruthless, you are my little pepper." Zhang Xiaowu sighed. As expected, only after marriage can a woman's true face be seen clearly, no matter how old she is.
