Chapter 4

"Hu", Su Shuifu breathed out a breath, straightened up and rubbed his aching waist, which was finally finished.

Su Shuifu wrapped all kinds of dried wild mushroom with silk cloth and put them in the package.

These were found under a few wet trees when I was exploring the road a few days ago. At first, I was not sure whether it was poisonous or not. Later, in an observation, it was found that the pheasant running by was pecking and eating in its beak, but there was nothing unusual. So I took a thick branch and dug all these mushrooms back.

In the stew when adding a few into the soup, I found that it really tasted a lot better. It seems that the stew is not so simple. I want to take the kindling from the first drill wood and stew the tasteless tiger meat soup. Until last month I transferred out the sour and salty juice, the taste of the soup became smoky and fiery, and the mushroom I found these days added a lot of points to the meat soup.

Su Shuifu is satisfied with a big package of dried mushroom collected by didian. Although it's not heavy, it's enough for him to eat for several months.

"Wuwu", two wolf cubs rushed into the hole from the outside, biting Su Shuifu's trouser legs and dragging out. Su Shuifu had to drag himself to the cave by them.

"Xiaochun, Xiaoxue, you caught this?" Su Shuifu pointed to two pheasants lying on the floor of the cave with blood dripping, and asked the two pups.

"Sobbing." The little wolf seemed to answer her. He straightened up his forelimb and walked around Su Shuifu. Then he put down his forelimb and wagged his pure white tail.

Su Shuifu squatted down with a smile and rubbed their heads: "I can't imagine that little pure snow has grown up, and it can hunt for food. Ha ha... Well, today we'll have roast pheasant. Well, cut off the chicken's neck and stew it for a drink. "

"Wuwuwu -" the two pups happily shook their heads around Su Shuifu and then rushed out of the hole to pick up the dead branches. Su Shuifu stood at the hole and smiled at them for a while, then rolled up his sleeves to prepare for work.

He was burning hot water for plucking chicken feathers in a stone jar, thinking about going out of the woods. Now that the two pups are almost one year old, it's no problem to follow them out of the forest. Besides, they will arrest the little wild animals. Even if the dried meat, mushroom and wild fruit they prepared are not enough to eat, they don't have to worry about starvation.

Well, that's how it's decided. While it's still spring and summer, I must start as early as possible. Who knows how long it will take to walk out of the forest? In case the weather turns cold, it will be terrible if it snows heavily.

To make a good decision, Su Shuifu plucked the feathers of the chickens, cleaned both the pheasants, and cut open the belly of the chickens with a dagger. The belly of the wild animals that live in the mountains is very clean. Except for the five internal organs, there are almost no disgusting oil sacs. Unlike my memory, my cousin dug out so many greasy and disgusting things when he cut the chickens.

After staring at two cleaned and sliced pheasants for half a day, Su Shuifu decided to marinate one of them with only the meat juice of salty fruit for half a day, then hang the chicken's paw in the hole with a hemp rope woven from rattan grass and air dry it, and the other was to smear the chicken's back with sour and salty juice, and put it on a wooden stick for barbecue later. And put the chicken claws, chicken neck and internal organs into the stone pot which has been added six parts of water, and throw down a lot of dried mushrooms. After adding seasoning, they are stewed on the fire.

"Whine -" when the thick fragrant chicken soup and crisp fragrant roast chicken were almost ready to taste, the two wolf pups gave up the chase not far from the hole to play, "whine" ran back to Su Shuifu and licked her feet, which seemed to be greedy.

Su Shuifu laughingly picks up Xiaoxue. "Sister, are you hungry? OK, we'll have dinner soon. " Then he clapped and squatted on the ground, shining his eyes, and looked at Su Shuizhen's teasing Xiaochun with envy. He smiled and comforted him: "Xiaochun is hungry, right? OK, take my sister to play for a while. I'll give you chicken soup with fragrance and roast chicken with crispy cut. "

Fill the stone bowl with thick chicken soup for the two wolf cubs, cool it first, then cut the whole roasted chicken into eight pieces with a dagger, divide the two chicken legs into small pure and small snow, and nip a chicken wing to chew. Well, with the seasoning, the roast chicken tastes much better than the original roast tiger meat.

Looking at two wolf cubs who are very happy to eat, they smile. Unexpectedly, wolf cubs also like to eat cooked food. Maybe it's because of feeding them meat soup and eating mince from the beginning. Xiaochun snow is not as fierce as the hungry wolf's attack on the living or dying wild animals. Even if he catches the wild animals like today, he will take them back and let him deal with them. I don't know whether such wolves are good or bad for them. However, since I have decided to take them out of the mountains and forests, I will keep them as big dogs. As long as I have my own stuttering, I will never starve them.

…………

Although we had decided to go out of the forest for a long time, it was another month after su Shuifu was fully prepared and cleaned up. The forest also entered the summer as scheduled.

"Xiaochun, Xiaoxue, it's time for us to start."

Su Shuifu picked up the packed package. In addition to the clothes, ornaments and silver, he added a package of dried mushroom, a dried salted pheasant and a large package of dried meat mixed with tiger meat and rabbit meat.

In addition, Su Shuifu ladled the crystal green transparent liquid in the stalactite pit into the gourd with a wooden spoon. Although it's just a little bit on the bottom of the gourd, only a few drops of sushuifu is to know how effective the liquid is. You can't taste it without permission.

The two pups recently fell in love with hunting. Although all they could catch were wild animals, probably due to their nature, they still didn't like to eat when all the food they had been hunting was handed over to Su Shuifu. Su Shuifu roasted and stewed the rabbits and ducks they had hunted for a long time. She dried the rest of them and prepared to carry them on the road.

As for wild fruit, she packed a basket full of ripe wild peach, sour plum, wild mulberry and hawthorn with that lovely garden rattan basket. There were several apples that looked like apples, but they were smaller and more sour than apples. I guess they were wild apples, but there were few such trees. After many days, she found only two, and picked all the ripe fruits on the trees Down, there are only about 20. I couldn't help nibbling off several of them in the last few days. This is the least of the remaining wild fruits.

But it's enough to eat for a long time. Su shuibi thought of it beautifully.

At least, it's much better now than when I first came to eat the light dried tiger meat. You see, there are salty dried meat, dried mushrooms and fresh wild fruits. Well, the basket is heavier. However, look at two young wolf cubs who are jumping forward happily. Su Shuifu has no choice but to change his hands. He should carry them by himself. He can't bully them. Although he really wants to put the fruit basket on their back and let them carry forward.

…………

One person and two wolves walk and rest. Whenever they meet water source, Su Shuifu always stops. Because the gourd is filled with crystal green liquid and can't be filled with water anymore, they have to wash their faces and hands and drink some water to moisten their lips.

It's still a little sultry to drive in the woods after summer.

Su Shuifu let the two pups drink enough water and play with them for a while. He rested on the trunk, ate some wild fruits and lost some dried meat for the pups.

Although I lost several silver tickets with a face value of 1000 Liang because of the water source, I still like to rest where there is water.

When it comes to the five banknotes that were wet and rotten due to entering the water, Su Shuifu has to attribute it to his failure to get along with them.

Who knows that the owner of this body will hide the silver note in the belt between the outer robe and the middle coat. When I took off my robe by the stream, I didn't notice that. I just took off and washed in the stream. As a result, I saw that the five silver notes were floating up from the water. I found that they were actually silver notes with a face value of 1000 liang when I fished them up. Unfortunately, they were rotten.

……

After four or five times of walking and resting, when he came to the water source again, it was dark. Su Shuifu looked at the endless forest and sighed low. After a circle around, he didn't find any stone cave or tree cave that could be used for the night. It seems that I have to sleep in the open tonight. I don't know if there will be water supply.

After su Shuifu looked around, he picked a relatively secret Bush and spread the tiger skin on the ground. The two wolf cubs were very discerning. Seeing Su Shuifu's posture, he picked up a lot of dry wood. Su Shuifu patted their heads happily, as if her children knew how to be considerate mothers.

It's only after I'm happy that I don't bring fire.

"Oh!" Su Shuifu clapped his forehead dejectedly, remembering that the charcoal and wood kindling which he had carefully stored in the stone tube and blown with hay was now missing in the cave.

That's how easy it is for me to use the knowledge of drilling wood to make fire for experiments. I don't know how many times it took to make a successful spark. Since then, Su Shuifu has been used to keeping a fire in the stone cylinder, so as not to waste countless times of wood drilling in the next fire. It's very painful.

Su Shuifu looked at two wolf cubs squatting on the ground, shaking their heads and tails innocently. He spread out his palm to them and said wrongly, "Xiao Chun and Xiao Xue, I forgot to bring the kindling. Although the stone bowl and the stone jar are heavier, I didn't plan to take them. But I didn't want to forget the fire in the stone cylinder. Alas! It's my fault. I thought about this tiger skin before I left. I didn't check it carefully again. " Su Shuifu half complained and half reproached himself. Two wolf cubs arched her affectionately, and they seemed to comfort her.

"Well, I'm not sad. I just blame myself for being too careless. Fortunately, it's early summer. It shouldn't be very cold to sleep in the evening. Besides, we have this warm and soft tiger skin, right? Chuckle... Don't lick my face. It's itchy! "

One man and two wolves shared the dried meat and wild fruit. Su Shuifu also cut a salty chicken leg for them to eat. The wolf cub is still growing, so he can't be hungry. Then, after drinking water, they snuggled together and went to sleep quietly wrapped in tiger skin.
