Chapter 16 Prey in the deep mountains tastes better
Shancha's little heart was beating wildly. As the saying goes, there are three people and four ghosts. She knew that what was outside the cave was not a living person, but a ghost.
The ghost had already come to the door, and it was impossible to hide. So he took out his ghost-killing whip, braved the cave entrance, and looked outside, "Why is it you?"
"Miss Camellia, I went hunting with the prince in the mountains. When I heard your voices, I came over to say hello."
Shancha pushed away the rock at the entrance of the cave, "You guys come in and have a rest!"
Seeing three zombies walking in carrying prey, Douhua and Li Xiaoshan both took a few steps back and stared at them warily.
Shancha pulled Li Xiaoshan and the others behind her, then looked at her zombie husband with a smile, "I don't know your names yet!"
"Xuanyuanli!"
Seeing that his master had already spoken, Ah Si also spoke, "The younger one's name is Ah Si, and his name is Zhang Da."
Shancha grinned and said, "One of them is called Li Xiaoshan and the other is Douhua."
Zhang Da saw that his master kept a serious face and was afraid that he would scare the three little children, so he smiled and asked: "Miss Camellia, why did you go into the mountains?"
"We went into the mountains to collect herbs. There are a lot of prey in the north mountains. Why did you come to the south mountains to hunt?
Just as Zhang Da was about to answer, Xuanyuan Li glared at him, "The meat of the prey in the deep mountains is more delicious, so I took them into the mountains to hunt." After Xuanyuan Li finished speaking, he turned to look at Ah Si, "Get some deer for me.
Drink blood.”
Ah Si's eyes flashed, and he thought, "Why does the master have such a good appetite today? Didn't he just suck the blood of a tiger?" But he only dared to think about it in his heart.
He took out a dagger and bled the wild deer, put it into a jade cup and handed it over.
Xuanyuan Li took the deer blood and did not drink it in a hurry. Instead, he pointed at the wild deer on the ground and said, "Mountain girl, you can't keep the dead prey, so roast it!"
Shan Cha is a foodie. When he heard that there was something to eat, his big eyes were filled with smiles. He immediately asked Li Xiaoshan to light the fire, "Douhua, sprinkle some salt on the venison later. You can eat it for a few more days, so you don't have to gnaw on it every day."
"
"okay!"
Seeing that the zombie gave them a wild deer, Douhua forgot to be afraid. He moved three rocks over, let Xuanyuan Li and the others sit down, and then started to peel the deer skin, "Camellia, we didn't bring alkaline flour, it's a pity that this deer skin is
.”
"Miss Camellia, there are a lot of animal skins in the ancient tomb. If you want to use animal skins, you can go to the ancient tomb and get them."
Zhang Da was almost pissed to death by this idiot Ah Si. The master obviously had other thoughts about the Camellia girl, and did not know how to leave the opportunity to please others, "Ah Si, those animal skins belong to the master."
Ah Si had an upright character, stretched out his neck and shouted: "I didn't say anything about taking the master's things and giving them away! I have dozens of good leathers myself."
"Ah Si, I'm a little hungry. You go hunting for wild bears and come back."
"Just the younger one?"
"Um!"
Ah Si was not a fool, and he immediately realized that he had offended his petty master, "Miss Camellia, those little ones are infested with bugs, you'd better ask the master for them!" After finishing speaking, Ah Si turned to look at Xuanyuan Li.
, "Master, all the wild bears have returned to the cave at this time, so you can make do with some deer blood for now!"
Seeing his master nodding, Ah Si continued and said: "Camellia girl, we want to save some prey for the winter and live in the mountains for a while, but there are no habitable caves nearby.
We sleep during the day and go hunting at night. You go out to collect herbs during the day and sleep at night.
Can you take us in for a few days? Don't worry, we won't live here in vain. You can eat whatever you catch.
There are many wild beasts and ghosts in these deep mountains and old forests, and we can still protect a few of you."
"Um!"
Shancha nodded, "You can live here if you want!"
A few people roasted some venison, and after eating and drinking, Shan Cha asked Xiao Shan to go out and bring back some hay, which he spread in the north corner, "You guys should also take a nap!"
A few minutes later, Zhang Da almost laughed out loud when he saw his master lying upright on the hay. Thinking of the news from Ah Jiu, he frowned again...!
Shancha fell asleep in a daze, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. He reached out and pushed Li Xiaoshan and Douhua. The three of them ate some steamed buns and salted venison, and then walked towards the ancient forest.
Douhua is a talkative person, and kept nagging along the way, "Camellia, some zombies will jump around and scream, and they can't understand human speech at all.
If Xuanyuan Li and the others didn't jump around when they walked, they would be almost the same as living people, and there is no smell of corpses on their bodies."
"They are ghost corpses whose souls have been sealed into their bodies. They are different from those soulless zombies." After Shancha finished speaking, he glared at Douhua, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and collect herbs. We must return to the cave before the sun sets.
middle.
There is a lot of gloom in the deep mountains and old forests, and as soon as the sun sets, evil spirits will come out to harm people."
The three people wandered around in the mountains and forests for two or three hours, but found nothing, only some worthless herbs.
Just as he was about to turn around and go elsewhere to collect herbs, Shancha saw patches of cartilaginous grass not far away. He picked a dozen of them and put them into a sack.
Li Xiaoshan raised his head and looked at the sky, "Camellia, there are no herbs nearby, pick some mushrooms and go back! Come out early tomorrow and go take a look deep in the forest."
"Um!"
Shancha nodded in agreement, took Li Xiaoshan and Douhua to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and returned to the cave.
"Miss Camellia, next time you go out to collect herbs, you don't need to carry it back. Leave it in the ancient forest. When we go hunting at night, we can bring it back for you."
"Uncle Zhang, these herbs are not heavy and we can carry them on our backs." Shancha opened the sack and took out the cartilage grass and handed it to Zhang Da, "Uncle Zhang, put these herbs in the pot and boil them for half an hour.
Soak your legs in the soup, and in a few days you will be able to walk like a living person."
"real?"
"Why should I lie to you? My mother-in-law was a wealthy man when she was alive." After Shancha finished speaking, he ignored the others, set up a small iron pot, cooked a pot of venison and mushroom soup, and invited several people to come over for dinner.
After dinner, Shancha took out half a bottle of wine from the package, walked out of the cave alone, found a rock and sat down, looked up at the moon, silently thought about his thoughts, and sipped the wine.
Ah Si poked his head out and took a look, "Miss Douhua, does Miss Camellia usually drink?"
"Um!"
Douhua responded calmly, "The three of us are orphans, and we are often bullied by the children in the village. Sometimes when we fight back, the adults also beat us.
I heard from the old Hutou in the village that wine can make people bold, so the three of us went to the village chief's house and stole half a jar of wine. After drinking it, we felt a lot more courageous.
The three of us got drunk and set fire to Liu Laolai's house. From then on, people in the village did not dare to provoke the three of us."
