After everyone drank the medicine, Yaohu said to Chong and Ah Shui: "Pig, Uncle Shui, you guys will keep watch for half the night, Mu Feng, Uncle Chong, and Xiong Niu will keep watch for the rest of the night."
Several people responded: "Yes, leader."
Yao Hu smiled and said to everyone: "Go to bed, go to bed early, and start early tomorrow."
"Yes, chief." Everyone nodded in agreement, letting the women sleep in the middle of the animal skin mats, and the men lying down on the outside.
Yao Xiaoqing leaned on the sleeping bag and rubbed her sore calf. Jianshan Amu held Yaya in his arms. Seeing that she was asleep, he took out a piece of animal skin and gently covered her body, patted her vest, and hummed.
Singing unknown songs.
Yao Xiaoqing was lying on the animal skin leaning on his backpack, stroking the smooth fur of the golden retriever, looking at the loving faces of Shan Amu and Hua, thinking about his parents in his previous life, looking at the dark forest with a low mood, feeling like
A man-eating monster with a big mouth.
After a while, the sounds of snoring could be heard one after another on the animal skin mat.
It was a cold spring, and the wind blew at night. There were not even a single star in the sky, and it was extremely cold in the mountains and forests.
Listening to the snoring one after another, Uncle Shui touched his cold arms and saw that the fire was weakening. He added a few sticks of firewood to the fire and looked around with a stone knife.
The first half of the night was spent safely, and in the second half of the night it was Mu Feng, Uncle Chong, and Xiong Niu's turn to keep watch together.
Yao Xiaoqing, who was half asleep and half awake, listened to the strange chirping sounds in the forest and suddenly noticed that the golden retriever suddenly stood up.
"There is an enemy situation!" She also hurriedly climbed up, picked up the engineering shovel, and saw the golden retriever looking at the woods opposite with vigilance.
Mu Feng and the others also noticed something lying there in the forest. They stared at this side with eager eyes, gripped the stone knives tightly, and prepared to face the enemy.
The bull added some firewood to the fire, and the fire became stronger. Yao Xiaoqing saw a beast lying in the forest opposite, looking at it coldly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yaohu, who sensed something was wrong, got up and walked to the fire with a cane, "Have you seen clearly what it is?"
Uncle Chong whispered to him: "It's a bit like a big cat."
Yao Hu looked at it carefully for a while and said to several people: "Even if it is a big cat, it will not dare to come when the fire is burning. Don't be careless. This thing is ferocious and patient."
The bull nodded, "There are many of us, so it doesn't dare to move. You go to sleep and wait until daybreak."
After walking for a long time, Yao Hu's wound was a little swollen and painful. If he didn't want to affect his journey tomorrow, he had to rest at night.
After Yao Hu agreed, he saw Yao Xiaoqing standing there holding a shovel, and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiao Qing, there is a big cat, you don't have to be afraid."
Mufeng also looked at her and said: "Xiaoqing, brother, I'm here to stay, you can go to sleep."
"Okay, be careful." Yao Xiaoqing touched the golden retriever's head and went back to lie down and force himself to sleep.
Golden Retriever glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, lying there and looking at the opposite side warily.
The big cat on the other side didn't dare to come here, and the two sides just faced each other, not daring to relax at all.
As soon as the sky dawned, everyone got up. After a night's rest, Shan and Dashi felt much better.
Shan'am and the others also knew that there were ferocious beasts on the other side, but they were not afraid at all. They calmly buried the poria cocos in the ashes and prepared for breakfast.
Yao Xiaoqing finally saw clearly what the big cat looked like: a thick body, slender limbs, pointed ears, and two tufts of black hair standing at the top. It stood quietly in the forest, looking coldly with its slender eyes.
Looking over here.
It looks a bit like a cat, but it is several times the enlarged version of a cat. It weighs at least seventy or eighty pounds by visual inspection.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at them for a long time and determined that the big cat in their mouth was the lynx mentioned in the animal world in his previous life.
Looking at the big cat glaring eagerly, Pig said to Xiong Niu and Mu Feng: "If it doesn't leave, we can't leave either. Let's go over and kill it."
Shan and Dashi also raised their stone knives, "Come on, even though you are injured, you still can't kill a big cat?"
Zhi shook his head at the two of them, "You don't need to take action, the three of us will do."
"Yes, the three of us can kill it." Mu Feng and Xiong Niu held stone knives and were about to take action.
"Wait a minute." Yaohu stopped a few people, took out a table knife, cut the crutch in his hand into a wooden spear, and handed it to Pig.
Shan and Dashi also whittled the crutches and handed them to Xiong Niu and Mu Feng, "For the warriors."
Yao Xiaoqing quickly gave the engineer shovel to Mu Feng, "Brother, you have a wound on your arm, use this sharpener."
"Okay." Mu Feng took the engineer shovel and the pig, and the three Xiong Niu walked towards the big cat.
Seeing the menacing three men, the big cat stretched out its front paws and arched its back in an attacking posture.
Mufeng and the other three walked to a position ten meters away from the big cat, and threw the stone knives in their hands at the big cat.
The stone knife flew towards the big cat, "Meow...!" The big cat let out a ferocious roar, jumped up and pounced on the pig at lightning speed.
The pig hurriedly fell back to avoid the big cat's bite, and at the same time raised its wooden spear to poke at the big cat.
The big cat's front paws clawed at Pig's belly, and Pig raised its wooden spear and stabbed the big cat's belly hard.
Mu Feng swung his engineer shovel and struck at the big cat, and the bull in the bull's hand poked at the big cat.
"Plop!" With a muffled sound, the pig's wooden spear pierced the big cat's belly, Mufeng's weapon shovel struck its waist, and the bull's wooden spear pierced its belly with a "plop" sound.
"Meow~" The big cat let out its last shrill wail and twisted its body crazily.
The pig and the male ox poked the big cat with wooden straw, lifted it up, and threw it to the ground with a "bang", and the big cat lost its breath.
Yao Xiaoqing was so excited that he clapped his hands and cheered loudly.
Pigeon and Xiongniu dragged the big cat back in high spirits, while Mufeng followed happily with Mufeng and the weapon shovel.
Even Yaya happily said to Hua: "Mom, there is meat to eat."
"Yeah!" Hua led Yaya and everyone gathered around.
Watching Mu Feng, they quickly skinned and dismembered the big cat and chopped it into pieces.
There was no time to deal with the big cat's skin, and he was afraid that the smell of blood would attract wild beasts, so Yaohu asked everyone to throw it into the forest.
Mufeng returned the crutches of Yao Hu, Shan and Dashi to several people, and returned the shovel to Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, your ax is very sharp, and it cut off the big cat's back."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded proudly, "Yes, it's very sharp."
Yaohu smiled and said to Mufeng and the others: "It looks like it's going to rain. Let's quickly roast the meat and start on our way."
"Yes, leader." Mu Feng and others chopped some sticks and put meat on them, while Shan'am and Yun'am added some firewood to the fire to keep it burning brightly.
One person held a piece of meat and placed it on the fire to roast it.
Yao Xiaoqing was holding a piece of ribs and turning the wooden stick. After giving the wooden stick to Mu Feng, he took out the bag of salt from the bag, poured some into his hand, and carefully sprinkled it on the meat that everyone was grilling.
After a while, the big cat meat was roasted to a shiny caramel color and exuded a burst of meaty aroma.
Yao Xiaoqing heard the sound of everyone swallowing.
