There is no way for a tiger to eat it openly. In the past few days, I drank porridge every day and my face turned pale. Although I added salt, my mouth still felt like a bird.
It happens to be by the mountain stream here, and there is water, which is convenient for cleaning.
Although wild boar is rough, it is still good whether it is grilled or eaten in broth.
Of course, the most important thing is that she is worried that Qin Lang's body and bones will not be able to bear the stress of traveling all the way without a day's rest.
Qin Lang was very excited about the rope ladder woven by his mother and the tree house on the tree branch.
He is a child by nature, and although he suppresses his childish nature because he is sensible, these things are very attractive to him.
If there was such a tree house in the village, he would definitely be the most handsome boy in the village.
Thinking of this, the smile on the originally excited Qin Lang's face faded a lot. He thought of the fire that filled the village when he escaped with his mother that night.
Although not many people in the village were kind to the mother and son, many children often bullied him.
But there are always a few people who are pretty good to him.
Thinking of those playmates, Qin Lang couldn't help but burst into tears again.
However, before it could even flow out of his eyes, he wiped it away fiercely.
He is already so old, and his mother was injured trying to save him. If he cries and makes his mother worried, it would be too unfilial.
By the time Shi Jiang dug the trap and caught two palm-sized fish from the mountain stream, Qin Lang had already wiped away his tears and looked at the fish in his mother's hands with a look of surprise.
Shi Jiang lit the fire, filled the iron pot with water, and boiled it like this.
When the water boils down a little, add some water into it.
When the cooked fish meat has fallen off the bones and the soup base has become turbid, I sprinkle a handful of salt into it and pinch a handful of wild onions I just dug up by the mountain stream. The tangy aroma comes to my face.
Come.
“It smells so good.”
Qin Lang couldn't help but swallowed, and then took the wooden jar that had been filled with water and asked his mother to fill a jar for him, blowing on the hot air, and then drank in small sips.
In this fish soup, Shijiang puts ginger slices in it, and the fish meat melts in the soup. It is delicious and warm after drinking it, which is very comfortable.
If it weren't for the small amount of food in his mother's package, it would be gone once he finished eating it. Qin Lang even felt that it would be a good thing to just stay in the mountains like this.
However, even if there was more food than the mother and son could eat in their lifetimes, Shi Jiang would not stay in the mountains.
After all, the original owner's wish was for his son to succeed.
You can't do this in this deep mountain.
After drinking the fish soup, Shi Jiang washed the iron pot and asked Qin Lang to sleep first while he watched over it.
Although they live in this tree house, there may be dangers in the tree.
For example, animals such as snakes do not have life-saving elixirs and other medicines in their own space. If they are bitten by a poisonous snake, they will really die.
I don’t know if it was because of the late autumn, but it got dark relatively late, and when the sun hung like salted duck eggs on the top of the mountain, a group of black-skinned wild boars staggered towards the mountain stream.
Because Qin Lang slept so soundly, even Shi Jiang, who was watching beside him, kept nodding and dozing off.
Then, the mother and son were woken up by a scream of pigs.
Qin Lang was so frightened that he almost rolled down the tree from the tree house.
Shi Jiang dragged him back, then hissed, and cautiously raised his head to look at the place where he dug the trap.
Obviously, the two leading ones of the group of wild boars fell in together. Because the pit was not deep, they were still struggling and screaming.
But because the two leading ones were very big, they were also the heaviest. After they fell, they were all pierced by the wooden sticks at the bottom of the pit.
They tried to turn over and climb up, but they couldn't. The more they struggled, the more blood flowed from the punctured area.
Gradually, the blood flow almost stopped, and they stopped moving.
On the other hand, the group of wild boars next to the trap were howling outside the pit.
It wasn't until the two wild boars in the pit made no sound that they ran away in panic, forgetting to even drink water.
When Shi Jiang saw them running away, he didn't dare to go down immediately to check on the two wild boars.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Shi Jiang climbed down from the tree.
Walk over and look into the pit.
Good guys, these two wild boars must weigh at least two hundred pounds each.
There are also the tusks at the mouth of the wild boar, which are a full foot long. If they were pressed against a person, they would probably be like the wooden stick at the bottom of the pit, capable of stabbing a person through.
Shi Jiang went down first, pulled out the wooden sticks, and then called Qin Lang over, and together they dragged the wild boars one by one to the pool of the mountain stream.
In this place, there was no way to boil water to remove the pig's hair, so Shi Jiang directly cut off the wild boar's head and pig's trotters with a knife and threw them away. Then he started to remove the wild boar's skin and fur, leaving only the meat inside and not the internal organs.
After removing the bones, only half of the two wild boars are left.
These wild boars are boiled many times with ginger and then made into dried meat.
In this way, more than two hundred kilograms of meat were made into about one hundred kilograms of dried meat.
These dried meats are the protein they can supplement for the rest of the journey.
In order to make these dried meats, Shi Jiang stayed by the mountain stream for three days.
During this period, the wild boars still came, but they were smart enough not to pass through the trap originally dug.
Shi Jiang felt a little pity about this, but he didn't expect these wild boars to be quite smart.
However, it was a bit difficult for the mother and son to carry the dried meat they made now, and they couldn't handle any more.
After eating, drinking, and getting enough rest, on the fourth day, Shi Jiang took Qin Lang and continued walking forward.
You only need to climb one more hill to reach the inside of Xiamen Pass.
Then we'll ask about the situation in the border town. If everything's okay, we can go back.
If there is still fighting, then they will go south.
People who have been displaced due to the war and do not have a household registration certificate should be able to get a new household registration by spending some money.
However, in this case, Shi Jiang will definitely not be able to use his original identity, and Qin Lang will not be able to use it either.
Thinking that the original owner wanted Qin Lang to get ahead and not be bullied by his tribe, he wondered if it would be okay to change his name?
However, all of Shi Jiang's worries disappeared after finally getting out of the mountain.
Because, after they finally reached a village, they saw a group of people being blocked by the people in the village, preventing them from entering the village.
Hearing the familiar voice, before Shi Jiang could think of it, Qin Lang shouted in surprise from the side.
"Grandpa village chief?"
Hearing this shout, Li Tianqiao, who was originally communicating with people in the village, turned his head and looked behind him in shock.
