"What's wrong? Your face is so red." Ting Shuang raised her head, huh?Why is the baby's face flushed, and even the ears show signs of high hemoglobin?Could it be that he started to have a fever after being injured, well, it must be, it must be.Reach out and touch his head.

"I really can't see that you look so honest and dull, but you are so bad in the mainland." Bao Qi grabbed his hand stretching towards his forehead, his eyes flickered, his face bloomed like a peach blossom, and his color was boundless for a while.

"What's wrong with me?" Ting Shuang was about to lament that you can see peach blossoms all over the sky even in heavy snow. Hearing what he said, she immediately got up from him and punched him in protest.

Baoqi's face changed, Ting Shuang's hand was in front, so who touched his butt just now?

Seeing his face change, Ting Shuang leaned over again: "I just hit you lightly, and you got angry? You're so stingy..."

Baoqi grabbed him to protect her back, pointed the arrow at the place where she was sitting just now with an arrow in one hand.

Ting Shuang's face also changed, is there something in this hole?Grabbing the hunting fork and approaching cautiously, a dark thing moved behind the boulder they had just sat on.

It turned out to be a little bear with short limbs and a clumsy body. It seemed that the big bear was frightened by the firecracker just now, and ran away, leaving the baby bear behind.

Ting Shuang saw something clearly, and happily rushed over to hug the little bear, and gave an unexpected comment: "Good boy."

There was a black line on Baoqi's forehead, it turned out that the one who rubbed her butt just now was...

Ting Shuang happily hugged the little bear to him: "Look how cute he is, chubby, fleshy, fluffy, so cute, I decided to give him a good name, Li Xunhuan, okay? I like it."

"What a ghost." Baoqi's face was even more ugly, showing no face, "It's like a personal name, how can anyone give Xiong a personal name?"

"Oh, let's call it Huanhuan." Ting Shuang didn't care about non-principle issues with others.Touching the baby bear again, the voice was extremely gentle, "We didn't drive your mother away on purpose, we just wanted to borrow a place to shelter from the wind and snow. I guess your mother didn't want to borrow a house, so we had to drive away. Don't worry, I will take care of you. your."

Tie up Huanhuan with a rope, then boil water to roast dry food, the leftover meat from the morning, and medicinal wine to warm up.

Outside the cave, there was already a circle of wild wolves, staring green eyes, white fangs, and black fur in the snowy night, very scary.However, after encountering a wolf last time, the two of them not only gained experience, but also improved their psychological quality by several levels.

"With fire, Pippi, and weapons, don't be afraid of wolves." Ting Shuang drew his bow and arrows and aimed at the wolves at the entrance of the cave.

Baoqi stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and said, "You're not sure about shooting a living thing, so let me do it."

"Your arm is wounded, pulling the bow hard will open the wound, let me do it."

In winter, food is scarce, and it is not easy for wild wolves to find food. Surrounded by the entrance of the cave, they refuse to leave. There is still a lot of wind and snow outside. I don’t know what time it is. what to do?

Ting Shuang was a little worried, and seeing that the red on Baoqi's face hadn't faded, she really had a fever.Ting Shuang scratched her head in worry, and ventured to dig some snow at the entrance of the cave, tore off a strip of cloth, soaked it with snow water, applied it on his forehead, and rubbed the back of his ears and neck with medicinal wine.He unbuttoned his coat and wrapped him in his arms.

"I'm fine." Baoqi looked at him and smiled, then closed her eyes again.

Pippi faithfully guarded the cave and watched the wolf.

The hungry wolves couldn't bear it any longer, and one of them pawed the ground with its claws and prepared to rush in. Ting Shuang was not sure of hitting a living creature, so he grabbed the hunting fork and stood in front of Baoqi.

The other wild wolves also pawed on the ground, howling softly, ready to attack.

Baoqi struggled to get up and picked up the bow and arrow. He would never allow himself to lie helplessly and be protected.

Suddenly, the wild wolves became restless and gasped heavily. After a while, they retreated with their tails between their legs.

Ting Shuang probed to see that the wild wolf had really retreated.Oh also, thank the people, thank the government, and thank the great party, the wolves actually retreated by themselves. Sure enough, people who travel through time are omnipotent, and the aura of domineering is everywhere.I couldn't help but feel complacent: "It must be my heroic posture holding a hunting fork that scares away the wild wolves... Ouch... why are you pinching me?"

Baoqi smiled: "I just pushed down your raised little tail."

Suddenly, Pippi pricked up his ears, and the hair on his neck puffed up, but he didn't cry.

"There's another situation." Ting Shuang grabbed the hunting fork and stretched out her head to look over.

When I looked at it, I almost stumbled, oh, mother, a tiger with black and yellow stripes is walking towards this side, its long and thick tail is shaking slightly, and it is carrying three tigers in its might. very elegant.His body exudes a real majestic aura, which is completely different from the listless tigers artificially raised in the zoo.No wonder the wolves retreated just now. It turned out that the even more powerful King of the Mountain had come.If this tiger brother appeared in the Tiger Mountain in the zoo, or in "Animal World" on TV, Ting Shuang would have to watch it carefully and get close to him, but when he appeared in front of him so vividly, two Legs kicked up in a futile way.

The tiger walked to the entrance of the cave and slowly squatted down.The huge body moves soundlessly, full of strength and beauty.

Although Pippi, who has the title of macular king, didn't get down in fright, he was not as ferocious as usual, and he didn't even dare to look directly. He understood the difference in strength between them.

Huang Puma was so frightened that he pawed his hooves on the ground and snorted non-stop.

Ting Shuang's face was ashen, and his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the hunting fork. It was going to be the tiger's dinner, but we didn't have much meat on us, and we hadn't bathed for a few days. Brother Tiger, wouldn't you be afraid of getting a stomachache if you ate it?So, brother tiger, let's eat wild boar.

After the previous mental exercise facing the siege of wild wolves, Baoqi's mentality is far stronger than before. He calmly took the hunting fork in his hand and pointed it at the big tiger at the entrance of the cave. If the tiger rushed over, its chest and abdomen would be Exposure, as long as he grasps the strength, timing and angle, he can send the hunting fork into the tiger's chest. In this flash of light, he must not tremble, and he must not deviate by half, otherwise he will die in the tiger's mouth. This is a life and death struggle.

Life and death are only a moment.

Surprisingly, the big tiger in the beautiful yellow and black striped leather coat did not rush over, nor did he pose to attack. Instead, he squatted down and stretched out his tongue to lick its front paw.

Baoqi didn't dare to relax at all, and tightly held the hunting fork in her hand.Ting Shuang was extremely terrified. He didn't believe that Bao Qi could hit the tiger's vitals with one blow when the tiger rushed towards him, but when someone protected him in front of him, he knew that the protection was not very strong, so he still felt at ease.

Ting Shuang forcibly calmed herself down, thinking of the experience taught by Zhang Daquan, not to be afraid or panic in the face of ferocious beasts, if you cannot guarantee that you will kill the ferocious beast at once, then don't take action, because the attack power of the injured beast will be doubled, and if you don't attack it Put to death and never give up.

"It seems that it doesn't want to attack us. How about I talk to it. When Uncle Zhang was surrounded by ferocious beasts, he didn't show fear or killing intent to shock the beasts." Ting Shuang walked over shaking her legs.Offer a sincere smile first, and then proceed to the first round of negotiations.

"We're just taking shelter from the wind and snow here, and we're leaving at dawn. There is absolutely no malice."

"This house is not yours, is it? You have a real estate certificate... oh, do you have a cave birth certificate? No?" It means that it is completely legal for him to occupy this cave, and the tiger has no reason to attack.

"If you don't mind, we can live together. You are at the entrance of the cave and we are inside." Explain the possibility of peaceful coexistence.

The tiger seemed to agree, licked its front paw again, and let out a low growl.

Seeing that Brother Hu didn't intend to attack, Ting Shuang felt a little more relaxed, and realized that something was wrong.

Brother Hu seemed to be walking very slowly when he came just now, his roar was full of pain, and he kept licking his left forefoot, Ting Shuang started to use his brain, pointed to the sole of his foot, and said, "Is your foot hurt? "

The tiger let out a low growl, licked the soles of his feet again, and put them down again. Ting Shuang's eyes were sharp, and he saw in the firelight that Brother Hu's soles seemed to be stuck in something.

"Hey, Xiao Bao, brother Hu seems to be injured." Ting Shuang turned to look at Bao Qi, "Do you want to take advantage of the danger of the tiger to regain your injured self-esteem and act like a hero?"

Baoqi put down the hunting fork and breathed a sigh of relief: "If I kill it now, you will definitely say that it is not a manly act for me to take advantage of the tiger's danger."

The tiger wagged its tail and lay on the ground, as obedient as a big cat.

It was the first time in Ting Shuang's life that he came into close contact with the King of Beasts, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, Brother Hu let him caress him.Ting Shuang became more daring, and moved her hands up and down, left and right, tsk tsk, it feels so good, so beautiful.

The tiger rubbed its head against his face, and stretched out its tongue to lick the injured sole. Ting Shuang held the sole of its foot and stabbed an arrow in it. Maybe it was a trap set by some hunter, and the tiger bit off the arrow. Rod, but the arrow stays in the sole of the foot, so it's a pain.

Ting Shuang touched the beautiful head of the first-class state-protected animal again, and said, "I'll pull out the arrow for you. Don't deal with us. If you're hungry, there are rabbits and wild boars to eat. Human flesh is sour and you can't eat it." .”

The tiger seemed to understand and lowered his head.

Ting Shuang raised its foot, yanked it out, pulled out the arrowhead, sprinkled some white medicine to stop the bleeding, and tore a strip of cloth to wrap it up.The tiger was very docile, quietly let him play with it, and even stuck out its tongue to lick his face.

"Oh, don't move, itchy." Ting Shuang turned her head, and brought a hare after finishing it, "Do you want to eat? Please leave when you are full."

The tiger didn't seem to be hungry, and showed no interest in the rabbit. It still squatted at the entrance of the cave, like a patron saint.

"If you don't eat it, I will eat it." Ting Shuang cooked a pot of broth, fed it to Bao Qi first, and said, "It seems that Brother Hu has established a friendship with us and won't eat us anymore. You can rest assured to sleep." Come on, sleep will help your body recover, and drink more hot water."

Baoqi drank a few spoonfuls of hot soup, sweated a little, and said, "You hug me to sleep."

Ting Shuang hugged him and was scared and tired all night. She couldn't hold it anymore, so she had to close her eyes. At first, she opened her eyes to look at the tiger at the entrance of the cave after a while. Before she knew it, she was so sleepy that she didn't know anything.

This time I slept until dawn, and at dawn, the wind and snow had stopped, and the sun was shining outside again.As soon as Ting Shuang opened her eyes and saw Baoqi's sleeping face, she quickly reached out to touch his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, the fever subsided a little.

"Brother Hu left without saying hello. Oh..." Ting Shuang went out of the cave to check, and found that the tiger at the entrance of the cave was gone. Not far away was a little gazelle with a bloody mouth on its neck, which should have been bitten by a tiger. dead.

"Oh, Brother Hu is so polite." Ting Shuang shook her head, "How can such a heavy gift be worthy of such a heavy gift, since you sent it, I will hurt your face if I don't accept it, so I still accept it with a smile." ..."

"Like your second child who talks a lot." Baoqi heard it, and jumped out of the cave.

"Your foot is twisted, don't move around." Ting Shuang hurriedly stopped him.

He quickly boiled the water and ate breakfast, and put the tent, small pot, wild boar, yellow sheep and other hunting gear on the horse. This yellow pussy is Zhang Daquan's treasure, and it is a famous Hequ horse breed. Things barely followed down the hill.

Ting Shuang held the horse in one hand and the bear in the other, and with Baoqi on her back, she reluctantly went down the mountain, her legs trembling from exhaustion, and she was sweating non-stop. Baoqi wiped his sweat and said, "Take a break."

"No." Ting Shuang resolutely refused. Yesterday's adventure had made him terribly afraid. It would be bad if he encountered a heavy snowstorm again, or encountered wolves. One or two would not be afraid, but a pack would be troublesome.The most important thing is to go home quickly.

In Meng's kitchen, Xiaolan and Tingqiu are discussing how to eat tiger meat.

"Tiger meat is best eaten cooked," Ting Qiu said.

"No, grilled meat is the best, eat tiger meat grilled." Xiaolan was not to be outdone.

Ting Qiu didn't choose a compromise with her: "Then bake part, boil part, and braise part."

"That's a good idea." Xiaolan agreed.

"What a fart..." Ting Shuang's voice came from outside the door, "You didn't even hit the tiger's fur, what are you fighting for?"

"Brother is back." Xiao Lan rushed out cheering, saw the cute baby bear, hugged her happily and kept petting, "I'm going to hug him to sleep tonight."

"Then you sleep with me, don't go to Aunt Zhou's." Aunt Li said.

This time the winter hunting was very fruitful. I used traps to kill a wild boar, about two hundred catties, and the tiger gave me a small yellow sheep in return, as well as two pheasants and hares.

"Tomorrow will kill the New Year's Pig." With a heroic wave of Ting Shuang's hand, she collapsed on the kang and couldn't get up. She couldn't help admiring her own strength, but she actually walked around with a big living person on her back, and got off before dark. Shan, I praised myself a few words in my heart.

Farmers usually kill pigs in the twelfth lunar month, and now it is not the twelfth lunar month, but the wild boar is already dead, so the meat is first removed and frozen.

"Should we keep half and sell the other half?" asked Aunt Li, who was careful about budgeting.

"There are nine and a half people in our family including the older one, the younger one and the third one who went home to celebrate the New Year. After removing the pig's head, hoof and bones, there is not much meat left." Ting Shuang counted the heads according to the amount of food, counting Xiaolan as half a person. I can't make new clothes for my family this year, so I should eat meat well.A decision was made: "That's it, I'll keep it all for myself to eat."

The whole family is happy and smiling, with so much meat, this year can have a fat year.

There is no professional pig butcher in the village. Zhang Daquan, who often handles wild animals, usually kills pigs. Later, when Li Dongsheng returned to the village, the job was handed over to him.

Li Dongsheng often goes to the city to kill pigs and sell meat. He is very skilled in his work. First he removes the pig's head, then the hooves. The knife flies, and the wild boar skin is quickly peeled off.Then disembowel the belly, first remove the intestines, then the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys, and put suet in another pot.

The last thing is to remove the bones, Ting Shuang reminded: "Brother Li, you don't need to remove the meat too clean, the meat on the bones is delicious."

He likes to eat bones very much, but no matter in ancient times or modern times, hunters are very skilled in killing artisans, and can remove not much meat from the bones.

"Okay." Li Dongsheng agreed, unloaded the two ribs, deboned the legs, and divided the hip and tenderloin. Soon, the bones and the meat were clearly separated. According to the master's request, the bones were still scratched less meat.

So much meat, about a hundred catties, has to be kept for the New Year.Fortunately, it's freezing outside, so if you pile up the pork mix and pour water on it, it will freeze hard overnight. This is called "hanging wax", which means natural freshness preservation, and you can pick it off when you eat it.
