Mr. Liu quickly withdrew his hand like lightning.
His face red, Liu Zhen still forced himself to chew the stewed rabbit meat into a pulp and fed it to the little fox spirit with the meat broth.
"You have to know, this is to save you." Liu Zhen could affirm that the little fox probably didnt understand what he was saying at all, but he still couldnt help but defend himself.
After all, who would want to eat a rabbit that has been chewed and spat out by someone else? Its only natural to feel a bit queasy about it.
The little fox was thus shaken by Liu and leaned against his chest, eating a rabbit leg and drinking some soup. Her beautiful big eyes were basically able to open now, although still dull and lifeless, but indeed as Liu had thought, they were a pair of eyes that sparkled with expression, spoke volumes, and could captivate peoples hearts.
Liu Zhenhong finished feeding her, and there was also a little ancestor waiting for him with a big belly. After serving two ancestors to eat rabbit meat, Liu Zhenhong himself just drank the remaining soup and swept away the remaining rabbit meat. The package he brought back yesterday had two or three large melons that were torn open, which he cleaned up in one go. These melons didnt know what variety they were, the skin pattern looked like watermelon, with green stripes like waves, but the pulp inside was not red like watermelon, it was golden yellow, and the seeds were red. The taste was a bit like cantaloupe, sweet and crispy.
Liu Zhen was originally going to leave one for Xiaohuli and Guoguo, but thinking about it again, this melon is already broken and cant be kept for long, so he might as well eat it all himself.
Guo Guo was full of rabbit meat and had already crawled into the wolf skin blanket to sleep, Liu Zhen discovered that every time it used up that air mass, it would become lazy and afraid to move, wanting to rest.
Originally Liu Zhen wanted to walk around the entire island, but now he has also temporarily dispelled this idea. With a young child and an ill family member at home, he really cant leave.
Spent half a morning and half an afternoon, using a curved knife as a hoe, digging a small water storage pool at the door, as for whether it can produce water or not, Liu Zhen himself did not dare to confirm.
If you cant fetch water, Ill make a toilet out of you! Liu Zhenpeng made an oath in front of the well with a vicious expression.
The strenuous labor also brought him some adverse consequences, the wound on his arm that had been bleeding reopened, and this discovery made Liu cancel his original intention to catch a few more fat rabbits in the grass nest, although the delicious taste of rabbit meat made him lick his lips.
At noon, the rabbit was almost full of fruit peels. The little thing opened its meal and could be described as a rice bucket. Its stomach seemed to not belong to itself, but rather connected to another universe.
Back home, Liu saw that Guo Guo and Xiao Hu Li were both sleeping soundly, and he had no intention of waking them up. He took out the bow and arrow from the corner and prepared to go shoot a few seagulls for dinner. After all, they had been eating seagull eggs for several days, and it was getting a bit tiresome.
His stomach suddenly hurt a bit, and Liu was shocked and frowned.
Its probably just a chill, Liu Zhen thought to himself, his heart racing slightly. In this place, if he fell ill again, hed be done for.
He hastily put on the white cloak that was used to make a backpack, and Liu Zhens heart was also racing. Fortunately, after a while, his stomach didnt hurt anymore, and Liu Zhen took out his bow and arrow and went out the door. The seagulls here were a bit silly, probably because they had never encountered hunting before, standing on the red willow tree to preen their feathers, as long as Liu Zhen stood far away, they wouldnt fly away at all, allowing Liu Zhens poor archery skills to be displayed here.
After shooting down seven or eight birds, Liu Zhen felt that he had grasped a bit of the feeling of shooting arrows. This shooting arrows and firing guns are actually somewhat similar, the difference is just that theres no sight, cant aim, purely relying on feeling, as long as one gets a good sense of the bow and arrows trajectory and range, its basically not too difficult, anyway these birds are stupidly standing there like live targets.
All the way, Liu Zhen was unknowingly passing through the red willow forest again, and arrived at the seaside. The seaside had already been washed away by the rising tide, leaving no trace of yesterdays storm.
Liu Zhen looked out at the sea with a sense of regret, thinking that even if he left a dead body floating on the surface it would be better. The white robe on his body was of good quality, but it was too big and wide, dragging on the ground, not to mention getting dirty, and if he wasnt careful, hed trip over it; whats more regrettable was that yesterday when boarding the ship, he forgot to bring a pair of shoes, because without shoes, his feet had already been scratched by several thorns.
Since theyve all come here, theres no hurry to go back. Liu Zhen took a long wooden stick and tore off several strips from his long gown, tying them together to make a fishing rod.
He pulled some flesh with feathers and skin from the sea bird he had hunted, tied it to the top as bait, Liu Zhenshen jumped onto the nearest reef, lowered his fishing rod.
A gentle breeze swept through the red willow forest, and the leaves rustled softly, as if whispering to this fishing rod, which didnt even have a hook, how could it possibly catch any fish?
Liu Zhenhong wasnt relying on the fishing rod, the bow and arrow in his hand had already been drawn into a semicircle, the sharp wolf-toothed arrows aimed at the seabird bait under the waters surface. One foot was stepping on the fishing rod, one foot was stepping on the snow-bright curved knife, as long as he found fish on the hook, he would shoot an arrow first and then talk about it later, if all else failed, he could dive into the water to fight hand-to-hand without delay.
The sea water is very clear, the underwater grass sways gently with the current, and on the sparkling surface of the water, there is a lingering sunset glow.
Liu Zhenhong was as still as a wooden puppet, staring motionlessly at the surface of the water.
A large fish with thorns all over its back proudly emerged from the seaweed, but before it could swallow, a sharp wolf-tooth arrow had pierced its skull at close range. The big fishs tail swept across, and the clear sea water suddenly churned up a mixture of mud and blood. Liu Zhen took up his fishing rod, which had been sharpened to a point like a javelin, and with one thrust, he pierced the belly of the large fish. Liu Zhen pulled on the fishing line made from his robe, laughing as he hauled the big fish onto the reef.
"We can make a fish soup for Little Fox!" Looking at the big fish that weighed about 4-5 kilograms, Lius heart was filled with joy.
At night when he rushed back home, the sky was already pitch black. Liu Zhen dropped his prey and hurriedly lit up a fire. He stroked the little foxs forehead.
Not bad, its already returned to normal temperature, looks like the kang is still somewhat useful! Liu Zhen was delighted and rubbed his hands together.
Liu Zhenhong went to take a look at the water pool he had dug out after being busy for half a day. Fortunately, it had already accumulated a little water, and the soil under the pool was starting to get wet and soggy. He pinched some with his fingers, and it was a dark, muddy lump.
He picked up three relatively fat seagulls, cleaned them up, applied a thin layer of salt, wrapped them in straw, covered them with a layer of mud, and threw them into the fire. Liu Zhen took out the big fish, saw that there wasnt much fresh water left in the clam pot, so he took down half of the fish body, rubbed it with salt twice, hung it in the wind, and stewed the remaining half with a pot of bird eggs and fish soup.
While doing all this, the little fox blinked her eyes and stared at him without stopping for a moment. Liu Zhen was made to feel somewhat embarrassed by her sparkling eyes.
"Go ahead and eat..." Liu Zhen took the large clam pot, using a pair of chopsticks made from tree branches to pick out all the fish bones and brought it to the little foxs mouth.
The little fox looked at him, and suddenly a string of tears rolled down from his eyes. Liu Zhen felt that his heart was about to break, and he roughly wiped away the tears on the edge of the little foxs eyes with his rough hands. Liu Zhen blew gently on the hot fish meat again and carefully put it into the little foxs mouth.
The little fox uttered a string of strange syllables, and Liu was shocked that he didnt understand what they meant at all.
"Sorry!" Liu Zhenhong scratched his head and said apologetically, "I didnt understand what you were saying. Eat first and then talk."
The little fox was chewing with tears streaming down her face, Liu Zhen was at a loss for how to comfort her and could only feed her food one mouthful at a time.
Maybe hes thinking of his family, just like me. Liu Zhenhong also felt a little sad and couldnt help it.
The little beast grew a pair of dog noses, and as soon as it smelled the fragrance, it immediately jumped out from under the wolf skin blanket, calling out happily, and jumped onto Liu Zhens head. After a moment of affection, it jumped down and stared at the pot of fish soup with eager eyes.
"Go, go, go!" Liu Zhens face turned into a big apple again. The little beast poked out from under the wolf skin blanket and lifted up a large piece of it. The small foxs chest was exposed in the air, neat and tidy, almost causing Liu Zhen to spill the pot of fish soup in his hand.
He tucked the wolf skin quilt around her, and Liu Zhenlei fed her a bit more fish soup with his mouth. The little fox closed her eyes, her face flushing a deep red like wine, the flickering firelight dancing across her beautiful, captivating face. Liu Zhenlei felt as though the Shaolin Temple in his heart had reopened for business once again.
"No wonder Wu Sangui could betray the country for a woman back then!" Liu Zhens heart was in an uproar, he didnt believe it before, but now he couldnt help but believe it, this little fox in front of him really did have some of Chen Yuanyuans charm.
Shes too captivating, whether shes closing her eyes or opening them, crying or drinking soup, every expression has a unique charm. Just now when I was feeding her soup, I, a detective who has undergone rigorous training and is known for my mental endurance, couldnt help but linger on her rose-like lips for a moment. Moreover, Liu Zhen felt that the floral scent on her body was getting stronger and stronger, this fragrance made Liu Zhen a bit dizzy, thinking back to this afternoon when he was hunting, he couldnt help but think of the little foxs appearance, Liu Zhen felt his face burning with heat.
Knock open the mud seal of "Jiao Hua Niao", tear off the fleshy part of its thigh and throw it to Guo Guo, Liu Zhen also feels a bit hungry.
Seeing Liu Zhens bird meat being chewed up, and his mouth approaching, the little fox blushed and closed his eyes, shaking his head gently.
Liu Zhen was quite embarrassed and didnt know what to say, so he lowered his head and started writing furiously.
After dinner, Liu Zhen stunned picked out the small foxs big fish bones from the fish spine, put on the split fine line of fish intestines, and carefully sewed up the wound on his arm shot by the rabbits water arrow. The bonfire was jumping, Liu Zhens face was calm, looking at the little foxs tightly knitted eyebrows.
Actually, Liu Zhen was also in a lot of pain at this time, but he saw the little fox paying attention to him, so he had to pretend to be very heroic.
He tied a knot on the wound with fish guts, moved his arm around and Liu Zhen was satisfied with a smile.
He picked up that shell full of blood and fish scales, Liu Zhen just about to pour it out, suddenly stiffened.
On the calm surface of the clams water, a terrifying face was clearly reflected, with eyebrows still standing on end and eyes flashing with cold stars. The whiskers were still strong and fierce, but the nose in the middle of the face had become two huge holes facing upwards, with a strange knot above it. The edges of the holes could be seen to have blood scabs that were still forming into pieces.
"Is this still... me... Liu... Zhen... Mou?" Officer Lius whole body turned ice-cold, and the wok "clanged" as it fell to the ground, spinning twice before the grayish-blue edge of its rim chipped off a thin piece on the stone-stacked stove.
Liu Das heart was also shattered like a broken clamshell at this moment.
