Chapter No.16 A life with food and drink

Goats are good at running!
But goats can't keep running!

After chasing it for five or six miles, Zhang Xiaoqiang clearly felt that the goat's speed had slowed down significantly.

It can't run anymore!
Zhang Xiaoqiang can still run very well.Now the distance between him and the goat is only a short twenty meters.From this distance, Zhang Xiaoqiang could clearly see the white foam that the goat spit out every time he looked back at him.

Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his hand and threw out another spear.

The spear still brushed past the goat.But to avoid the spear, the goat had to change direction.And this made Zhang Xiaoqiang chase a few meters closer.

Now Zhang Xiaoqiang feels that as long as he works harder, he can catch the goat's hind feet.But now Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that although his speed had reached the limit, he still had a lot of physical strength.

Just get a little closer and you can grab it with your hands.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his hand and threw the last spear out.

Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that the goat would shake its head and change the direction to avoid the attack. Unexpectedly, the spear pierced the goat's back half fiercely.The goat somersaulted out.He rolled and crawled on the ground and fell more than ten meters before barely stopping.

Just when the goat was struggling to stand up, Zhang Xiaoqiang followed up and kicked the goat hard on the head.Then all of a sudden, people rushed forward and pinned down the goat.

The spear didn't actually penetrate the goat's body, but it knocked the goat off balance.That hit just now actually confused the goat.In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang pushed him to the ground.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and the goat danced for a long time, until Zhang Xiaoqiang's two hands pressed the goat's horns so that it could not lift its head when lying on the ground.Only to find out that the fall just now had broken one of the goat's front legs.Even if you don't press it, it won't get up.

The next step was much easier, Zhang Xiaoqiang stabbed the guy to death with a spear.Then he grabbed the goat by its four legs and carried it on his shoulders, turned around and ran back.

This time, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that he had run at least fifteen kilometers.

But even so, when Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to the cave with the goat on his back, it was only around seven o'clock in the morning.More importantly, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't feel tired at all.

In three or four hours, the fire in the cave had already been extinguished.But because of the good shelter from the wind, the cave is still not cold.Looking at Yang Zixi's appearance, although she was still in a coma, it was more like falling asleep.

Zhang Xiaoqiang built a fire, hung the goat on a nearby tree, then cut the goat's skin with a sharp piece of gravel, and peeled the goat little by little.

Skinning is definitely a technical job. Zhang Xiaoqiang spent a lot of effort and cut his hands several times. When the sun rose above his head, he finally finished skinning the goat.During the period, Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to give up many times, and when he turned around to add fuel to the fire in the cave, he saw Yang Zixi sleeping.Gritting his teeth, he persisted.

After peeling the skin, the first thing Zhang Xiaoqiang did was to cover Yang Zixi with the sheepskin.

The internal organs of the sheep were taken out, except for the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys that Zhang Xiaoqiang knew, all the rest were discarded and thrown into the woods.The mutton was carried by Zhang Xiaoqiang and thrown into the cave.Start the lamb roast.

There was still soup and fresh water left from last night, after feeding Yang Zixi a few mouthfuls, Zhang Xiaoqiang went back to fetch water from the river.

Now Zhang Xiaoqiang really hopes to have some suitable tools.For example, buckets and knives.

If you have a bucket, you only need to run once to fetch water.Unlike now, every time I drink water, I have to run several times.Because the tools for holding water are those two sea clam shells.The water boiled each time is barely enough to quench one's thirst.

As for the knife, Zhang Xiaoqiang almost stopped scolding his mother because of the piece of gravel when he cut the mutton.It's just too much work.With a knife, at least it doesn't take so much effort to make a spear, and the prey can be caught, and the meat and skin can be cut and peeled faster.

In the cave, because the fire has been burning and the meat is roasting, the smell in the cave is really good.Plus the fresh sheepskin that was just peeled off.There were also blood clots and minced meat on it.Just imagine the taste.

Now Zhang Xiaoqiang has some doubts, Yang Zixi has not woken up, is it because of this smell.

Although the fever was gone, Zhang Xiaoqiang still chewed the herbal medicine, held Yang Zixi's face and fed it mouth to mouth.After feeding the herbs, I took a few sips of water.Otherwise, lack of water will make the patient's condition worse.

Just when Zhang Xiaoqiang was concentrating on feeding the water, Yang Zixi suddenly gave a warning.Then slowly opened his eyes.He gave Zhang Xiaoqiang a weak look.

Zhang Xiaoqiang held Yang Zixi's face in his hands, and the two looked at each other.After staring at each other for a while, Zhang Xiaoqiang said something in embarrassment.

"Are you awake?"

There was a kind smile on Yang Zixi's face, and then she fell asleep again with her head tilted.

Zhang Xiaoqiang first breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about it.Happy again.

Now that he has woken up, it means that his method is not wrong.Yang Zixi has gradually improved.In the future, just continue to work hard in this way.

Thinking that Yang Zixi would recover in two days, Zhang Xiaoqiang was very happy, and with this joy, he ate a lot of mutton all at once.

Yang Zixi is fine now, as long as she is not cold and has water and food, she will get better in a few days.So now, the most important thing should be... what to do with the leftover mutton?
That goat contributed almost [-] catties of meat including bones and meat to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Now this pile is just placed in the cave. It is fine today, but it will stink tomorrow in such a hot day.That would be such a pity.

Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that if he wanted to preserve the meat, he could marinate it with salt.But now even drinking water is a problem, where is the salt?
There is another method called smoking, which can preserve meat.But that requires crafting a smoker.

Seeing that Yang Zixi was sleeping soundly, Zhang Xiaoqiang dug a hole with branches in a sheltered place outside the cave.Then a small shack was built with branches.

It stands to reason that this shack should be covered with mud.Only one vent is left.But for Zhang Xiaoqiang now, things like mud and mud are a luxury here, nothing else, water is too difficult to deal with.It's only a minute or two away from the water source, but if you don't have the tools to fill it, you can't do anything.In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang could only cover it with soil, making do with it.

Pick the mutton into thin strips and hang them in the shack with branches, and then light a fire under the shack.Cover the firewood and seal the exit with soil.In this way, the fire inside is not fully burned, and smoke will be emitted.The smoke slowly came out along the vents in the shack, and the meat was smoked.

Meat treated this way will have a strong smoky flavor, but will keep for a few days longer.

After lighting the fire, Zhang Xiaoqiang ran back to the river, used a lot of branches as tools, dug a lot of mud in the fish pond he made, put it on the leaves and ran back holding it.Use this dirt to mend that shack.

For almost a day, Zhang Xiaoqiang ran back and forth between the small river and the shack, either fetching mud to repair the shack, or fetching water for Yang Zixi to drink.Finally, I took the time to make a sheep soup with sheep offal.

It can be said that Zhang Xiaoqiang is quite satisfied with the current life with food and drink, except that the tools are not handy.
