Spirit Stone Hunter

Ma Xiaotian's favorite dishes are purple mushrooms and beard melons. Of course, if you want to talk about meat, he likes all kinds of beef, mutton and pork.There is also a strange beast called Lingjiao in this world, which looks like a mixture of sheep and deer. The most important thing is that its meat has a faint vanilla flavor, and there is almost no need for extra seasoning, just use salt and onions Let Ma Xiaotian eat to his heart's content.Since Zhan Jiu knew that Ma Xiaotian liked to eat this kind of small and easy-to-hunt exotic beast, he would catch one for him almost every week.This time he came out, he prepared a lot of ridge meat.Naturally, I have to contribute today.

Ying Feng is very good at cutting meat, in fact, only he and Ma Xiaotian know how to cut it so that it is suitable for eating.Others clean up obstacles, and those who drive away insects and ants drive away insects and ants.Only Zhan Jiu patrolled the surrounding area by himself, and when he was sure that there was no danger around him, he came back.Ma Xiaotian has already prepared the bottom of the pot.

He prepared two pots for ten people.In a pot were cubes of hot sauce he had brought from home.It is made with some spices and chili peppers that have been slightly fried in different animal oil. These are the things he and Ying Feng are used to eating.Zhan Jiu also liked it very much, so he specially made a few catties to carry with him before he set off.This hot sauce is not so much a sauce as it is a congealed chili oil that looks like red oil and has a rich meaty and spicy taste.Put a piece in the pot, and the whole pot of clear water turned red, and then put boiled mustard melon and other dehydrated vegetables in it, the bottom of the pot can be used as a soup to accompany the meal.

The other pot is much simpler.Only water and barbecued meat were placed, and two spoonfuls of salt were sprinkled.Seeing that Ma Xiaotian didn't even put any spices in, Wen Tao was very confused: "Why is the pot here so weak?"

Ma Xiaotian put two pieces of purple mushrooms, rolled them around for a while, then took them out and handed them to Wen Tao: "Try it."

Wen Tao took the bowl and chopsticks, smelled it first, then picked up the purple mushroom and put it in his mouth, his eyes widened soon. "It smells so strong?"

Ma Xiaotian smiled and said: "Of course. There is something in the salt. If the fried food has no taste, just dip it in the salt. It's an exclusive recipe, don't ask me how to make it~!" Although it is only a seasoning for sautéing It is a mixture of powder and dehydrated sea miscellaneous and salt, but this is definitely Ma Xiaotian's only one.Up to now, even Ying Feng and Zhan Jiu don't know how to make the bottle of brown salt at home.Fortunately, those two really didn't care about the salt issue with such great curiosity.After all, it is impossible for everyone to be a foodie.

Wen Tao was really tangled. "Can't you really say that?"

Ma Xiaotian looked calm: "It's really not possible. But you can eat whatever you want."

Wen Tao had a bitter expression: "But who would eat salt casually."

"Hahahahaha" The people on the side laughed wildly at the conversation between the two of them.This reassured Zhan Jiu who had just returned.My own children get along so well with everyone, it really hurts.So don't bother with him about the big white cat.

Sure enough, the shabu-shabu captured the hearts of the whole team in one fell swoop.It would be really troublesome if it wasn't for cutting so much meat.They even said that it is okay to eat every day.

Ma Xiaotian's hot sauce block received unanimous praise.It's just that Mai Na and the other two ordinary prospectors are not used to the spiciness, so they all eat a different pot.Wen Tao has a special liking for spicy food, but after he was full, he even filled the bottom of the pot with a large bowl of clear soup for a while, which made Mina feel very upset. Filling her belly, she instinctively felt overwhelmed.

After dinner, it was already dark.Each of the two tents that have been built is about ten square meters, which of course cannot accommodate ten people.But not everyone sleeps in a tent.For example, a night watch requires at least two Quebecs.

The two prospectors and Mina lived in two cars respectively.Ma Xiaotian and Ying Feng lived in one tent, and the other tent lived in three queer people, and the other two were of course night watchmen.

The forest at night is not as quiet as imagined.Various voices came from my ears, and Ma Xiaotian couldn't sleep.In fact, he was not at ease in his heart. A few unexpected things happened from last night to now. It is really difficult for him to ignore these experiences.He opened his eyes wide and turned to see that Ying Feng was already fast asleep.He got out of the sleeping bag, unzipped the tent, and poked his head out. "Ninth brother."

Tonight is Zhan Jiu and Huo Congting's vigil, and they are drinking tea by the campfire.Suddenly hearing Ma Xiaotian's voice, both of them turned to look at him.

Ma Xiaotian came out of the tent and trotted two steps to Zhan Jiu's side.Although it is the end of summer, the forest is still cool at night.Zhan Jiu quickly pulled Ma Xiaotian to his side and hugged him in his arms. "Can't sleep?"

The two of them had never done this pose before, it was too intimate and very ambiguous.Even when they were at home, they had never been like this. They were suddenly pulled into each other's arms and sat on each other's lap, Ma Xiaotian's face turned red all of a sudden.He also secretly glanced at Huo Congting. "I really can't sleep."

Huo Congting smiled.He turned away from looking at them, then took a sip from his teacup.He likes this kind of wild tea very much. The light bitter taste has a special fragrance, which is refreshing and helps to calm the mood.Although the taste and taste are really far inferior to those expensive special varieties of tea, but he has been drinking since he was a child.Drinking tea was also the first thing Master taught him.That is: it is the best that suits you, plain is not necessarily boring, liking is the most important thing.

Seeing that Ma Xiaotian was really embarrassed, Zhan Jiu lowered his face and didn't want to raise his head, and didn't want to continue talking. He immediately said, "Brother Ting, go and rest for a while."

"Okay. I'll go and see Xiaofeng. Don't talk too late, both of you." The disgusted Teacher Huo picked up the teacup and went to the tent helplessly, but he gave Zhan Jiu a wink.

Zhan Jiu nodded.Then he lowered his head and grasped Ma Xiaotian's wrist with his palm. "Don't worry, I'm here, there's no danger."

Ma Xiaotian turned his head and glanced at Huo Congting leaving, subconsciously relaxed a little. "It's the first time I've spent the night in the wild. It's very different from being in the hotel yesterday. I've never left home before, except for living in a dormitory during military training."

Zhan Jiu's voice was very low, and he said close to Ma Xiaotian's ear: "There will be many opportunities to go to various places in the future, but I will always be by your side."

This is probably the love story that Ma Xiaotian has heard the most in his two lifetimes.Of course, it was the first time in two lifetimes that someone really liked him and pursued him, and this person also liked him himself. Of course, this feeling was different. "I never thought it would be a day like this before. It's really worrying, but it feels good now."

Zhan Jiu didn't understand the logic of this sentence: "Is it okay to worry?"

The corner of Ma Xiaotian's mouth trembled: "I don't know how to pull it down!"

Zhan Jiu was stunned for a moment before he understood what Ma Xiaotian meant, then he smiled and tightened his arms, hugging him even tighter. "Sleep if you're sleepy, I'll watch over you."

The next day, Ma Xiaotian woke up in his sleeping bag.It's just that his memory is still in Zhan Jiu's arms.Turning his head, he found that there was no one in the place beside him, and even the sleeping bag was packed.Just go to know that Ying Feng woke up early.

After packing his sleeping bag, Ma Xiaotian got out of the tent in a daze, and the outside was almost packed.Ying Feng and Zhan Jiu were making breakfast, and they looked like they were chefs.

He was standing there in a daze, and Wen Tao patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Okay, little friend, last night I was trying to put your husband to sleep with you, the wild forest can't stop the enthusiasm!"

Ma Xiaotian's hairs stood on end by this sentence. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Wen Tao had a mean smile on his face: "Why are you talking nonsense? It's easy for me to get up at night, and I saw Zhan Jiu carrying you into the tent."

Ma Xiaotian now picks up what was broken in his head, thinking that he fell asleep and was hugged and sent back without realizing it, he really felt ashamed. "That... I was a little dizzy yesterday."

Wen Tao laughed loudly: "What's the matter! Look, you're still blushing. It's normal to not be able to sleep when you're in the field for the first time. I won't tease you anymore, just wash up quickly."

Hearing the movement here, Zhan Jiu turned his head to see Ma Xiaotian, handed the spoon in his hand to the surveyor beside him, and walked over. "Sleep well? Do you have a headache?"

The embarrassment of being teased by Wen Tao just now hadn't passed yet, and when Zhan Jiu asked him if he had a headache, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's good. It doesn't hurt anywhere."

Wen Tao covered his stomach and laughed. "Hey, you're making me laugh. No wonder Xiaofeng said your nickname is Ma Xiaoer! Why are you so funny! Where are those sharp tongues before? Why do you feel confused every time you wake up!"

Ma Xiaotian wants to cry but has no tears.He didn't find out before.After all, after waking up before, I didn't need to contact other people. "Can't you treat your teammates with spring-like warmth? Why are you smiling so lowly!"

Zhan Jiu was also amused. "It's windy in the middle of the night. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. As long as you're fine. Breakfast is ready. It's almost ready to eat."

Ma Xiaotian scratched his head: "Then I'll go wash up." After speaking, he didn't forget to stare at Wen Tao, who was still clutching his belly and laughing wildly.I really want to find a ground seam!

One night's safety at least shows that the person who can control the beast is not approaching them.Otherwise, night attack is the best way to fight.Huo Congting has already received the news that yesterday when it was dark, the patrol team was dispatched, and they don't need to worry about that group of people.

The breakfast was marching biscuits, and the meat and vegetables cooked with yesterday's soup was a relatively easy meal, but because the taste was good, everyone was quite satisfied.After packing up their things and going back on the road, they first chose to drive to the top of the waterfall mentioned earlier.The prey must be packed before moving forward, so that the fresh meat for today and tomorrow will be settled.

Ma Xiaotian hadn't seen the real waterfall with his own eyes yet, and when he got there, he was the first to jump off the car.

The scenery here is quite nice.There is a clear river in front of my eyes, and the sound of gurgling water in my ears. The sound from the waterfall under the cliff in the distance is not as loud as I imagined.Looking at the size of the river and the water flow, it really is a small waterfall.

Squatting by the river to catch a handful of water, Ma Xiaotian shivered when his tentacles were cold. "It's still cool."

Ying Feng came over: "It's only what time, of course it's cold. Don't get too close to the water's edge, even if the river is too shallow so there won't be any ferocious aquatic animals, you'll catch a cold if you fall."

Ma Xiaotian rubbed his nose: "I look like someone who will fall if I don't coordinate my body?" Ying Feng nodded very honestly.Ma Xiaotian's mouth twitched. "You won." After he finished speaking, he stood up and took a step back. Unfortunately, he stepped on a curved stone, slipped and lost his footing.

Fortunately, Zhan Jiuyan quickly supported Ma Xiaotian quickly, otherwise he would really be afraid of something. "Why are you so careless?"

Ma Xiaotian had lingering fears: "Hey, I'm going, what a coincidence! I was shocked!"

Ying Feng was also startled by him. "How are you? Are you sprained?"

Ma Xiaotian felt like being protected as a precious item.Although I am really happy, I always feel weird. "I'm fine. Didn't everyone support me. I just accidentally stepped on a stone." After he stood up, he lowered his head and saw the stone that he had pushed to the water's edge at a glance.After touching the water, the originally gray stone suddenly revealed a faint green color, and it seemed to have a sense of light transmission.He immediately became interested, and took Zhan Jiu's hand: "Brother Jiu, look at that stone, it seems different."

When he said this, Zhan Jiu also noticed.Ying Feng could also see clearly from the edge, so the three of them moved closer together.Zhan Jiu personally picked up the stone, washed it in water, and handed it to Ma Xiaotian.

After Ma Xiaotian gave birth, the first feeling was that it was as cold as the water temperature, but soon this temperature was replaced by a slightly itchy feeling. "I have a feeling, this is a spirit stone!"
