From wilderness to palace

Chapter 203 Extravagant Lunch

When he first entered the forest, Liu Yaozu thought the forest would be very quiet.Unexpectedly, after the heavy snowfall, the jungle was more lively than usual.In addition to birds, the animals also appeared to be very active.

Came to the hunting ground under the shack, the plain and valley where the cold wind howled last night, but this meeting seemed very quiet.Standing on a slope, Liu Yaozu could clearly see a few rabbits bouncing around in the snow on the plain.

In the past, seeing these lively hares, Liu Yaozu would definitely not be able to resist killing two to try something new.But shooting seven wolves yesterday, he felt that there was already a lot of meat, and these hares that were having fun, let them go.

If the hare knew what Liu Yaozu was thinking at the moment, he would probably be very excited!

Zhou Shanhe, who was standing next to Liu Yaozu and holding a camera, said with emotion when he saw this scene: "I didn't expect that there are so many rabbits in such a cold weather. Shouldn't they be hiding in holes at this time?"

"I reckon that their caves are in the plain below. The heavy snowstorm last night probably sealed up their caves again. If they don't dig them open, these rabbits might suffocate to death in the caves."

"That's right! Looking at the bushes that are protruding, it seems that the snow underneath is quite thick."

"I just don't know, when the snow melts, will the snow water flood the rabbit's nest!"

After watching on the side of the slope for a while, Liu Yaozu finally chose to leave and continue to search the jungle along the slope.Although they had already harvested two grouse during their trip to the mountains, they hadn't seen the flying dragon they wanted to eat the most.

It is clear that there must be flying dragons in this jungle, but it is just a matter of luck to find them in this weather.If they can be found, then it will definitely be a litter, and it is no problem to catch a few more.

Compared with other birds, the flying dragon is also very fast.But in this kind of weather where the mountains are covered by heavy snow, their reactions will also become slower.For Liu Yaozu, it's okay to have the opportunity to shoot and kill two to try something new!

But what made the two of them a little depressed was that after wandering in the jungle until noon, they still found no trace of the flying dragon.On the other hand, there were a few more grouse in the two backpacks.Compared with the number of flying dragons, the number of grouse is actually greater.

Although a little disappointed, Liu Yaozu still said: "Let's go back first! Flying dragons, if you want to eat them, you have to try your luck. Today, our luck seems to be not very good, but at least we have a few pine birds as substitutes."

"That's right! Go back first, stew these grouse and try something new."

Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't hit the flying dragon, Zhou Shanhe didn't feel there was anything wrong.If you really could catch whatever you wanted, the flying dragon wouldn't have become so rare and so coveted.

In fact, for Liu Yaozu, who lives in a village in the forest area, he has naturally tasted the taste of flying dragons.Even when he was camping outdoors in the mountains earlier, he had shot a flying dragon.It’s just that I didn’t encounter them during this trip into the mountains.

With the filmed materials and the hunted ingredients, Liu Yaozu and the two returned to the shack where they stayed overnight.Compared with walking outdoors, the moment they got into the shack, both of them felt that the indoors and the outdoors were completely different.

"Oh, it's still warm in the shed!"

"That's for sure! The shack I built is made of real materials. Turn on the stove and it will definitely be warm!"

When he left the shack in the morning, Liu Yaozu also added a lot of wood to the heating stove.Now when I come back, there is still charcoal fire in the stove, which saves me the trouble of re-igniting the fire.Even the temperature in the shack can be preserved.

If the stove had been turned off, they wouldn't have felt so warm in the shack when they came in earlier.Even after entering for a while, both of them took off their thick coats.It can be seen that the temperature in the shack is still very good.

As soon as you return to the shack, relight the fire in the stove, fetch snow from outside the shack and melt it into water.Those grouse that were shot will have to be processed later before being put into the pot.For two people, they can have a whole chicken feast for lunch.

It happened that Liu Yaozu also brought a lot of dried wild mushrooms in his backpack.In addition to using the freshly hunted grouse for stewing soup, Liu Yaozu specially roasted a spicy chicken.It turned out that both of them were very satisfied with the lunch.

Zhou Shanhe, who was picking his teeth, was also very satisfied and said: "Azu, this grouse meat seems to be more fragrant than native chicken!"

"That's for sure! One domesticated and one wild, that's comparable! However, our way of eating is somewhat extravagant!"

"It's okay to be extravagant once in a while!"

Accompanying Liu Yaozu into the mountains, Zhou Shanhe felt the greatest pleasure, perhaps because he cared about eating delicious food.The two of them had a taste of wolf meat last night, and at noon they ate a feast with grouse as the main ingredient, which really satisfied Zhou Shanhe.

In the afternoon, Liu Yaozu did not choose to continue going into the mountain. Instead, he thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't we see if we can find a riding road later? There is so much meat, we just have to carry it back to the camp, I'm afraid It’s very troublesome.”

"Are you planning to go back to the camp?"

"Yeah! I've looked here too, but it's really not worth seeing. On the other side of the valley and plain, the wind is probably relatively strong at night. And judging from today's weather, it may be snowy at night. In this case, it's better to go back to Hongye Over there by the lake."

"Okay, let's go around later! If you choose to take a detour, you should still be able to. However, the slope of the shack is relatively high. Can our snowmobile drive up?"

"It should be ok! The snowmobile we bought is the kind of high-power, with a lot of horsepower!"

"That's fine! If it's really hard to go, we can cut a way out. Anyway, it's fine if we can transport the meat back to the camp."

Zhou Shanhe naturally would not refuse Liu Yaozu's decision to return to the Hongye Lake camp.In his opinion, the leopard who visited outside the shack last night must be unwilling to eat the wolf meat from the 'outdoor refrigerator'.

If there is no accident, the two leopards will definitely come again at night.If you really want to run into each other, will you kill or not?
Because of the confusion, it would be better to transport the wolf meat back to the Hongye Lake camp in advance. That would be safer.Compared with the conditions and environment here in the shack, leopards at Hongye Lake must not dare to approach easily.

And there is more space there, and these temporarily frozen wolf meat will be easier to deal with at that time.In any case, these wolf meat must not be taken back to the village for the time being.Really want people to see, the impact is not very good.

Reaching an agreement, the two did not hesitate much, and took the tools and went out again.For Liu Yaozu, if he can find a motorcycle road leading directly to the shack, it will be much more convenient for them to come here in the future.

It is really troublesome to walk in the jungle behind the heavy snow.It is indeed much more convenient if there is a snowmobile for transportation!
