Chapter 1016 Hunting
However you look at it, it's still meat.
Bai Song told Lu Qingqing and then put the rabbit on Old Man Zhuang's carriage.
As he walked towards his carriage, he felt a surge of joy.
He'll be able to eat this meat at noon.
The procession reached midday, when the sun was high in the sky.
Lu Qingqing felt dizzy from the intense sunlight.
She felt more comfortable after changing from her thin padded jacket to a light-colored blouse.
Many people in the group were so hot that they even took out their straw hats to shield themselves from the sun.
The temperature fluctuated so much that day, it was really hard to bear.
Unfortunately, there's no thermometer yet, so we don't know how high the temperature is.
Lu Qingqing guessed that today's temperature difference would definitely set a new historical record!
Seeing that everyone in the group was flushed from the heat, she spoke to Bai Song and Qian Chengzhi.
The three of them found a corner and stopped to rest.
As soon as the group stopped, Bai Song rushed over and urged Old Man Zhuang to cook.
Fearing he might be too busy, they wanted to ask the men in the team to come and help.
Old Zhuang disliked their coming over to cause trouble, so he only asked Sun Yue to help out.
Bai Song thought Sun Yue was a good cook, so he called her over as well.
Old Zhuang knew she was pregnant, so he only made her sit and do the work of chopping vegetables.
For this lunch, Old Man Zhuang was the head chef, with Xu Erniu and Sun Yue assisting him.
I made a stew of rabbit meat and dried vegetables, and also steamed a bowl of cured pork and stir-fried cured pork with wild vegetables.
Bai Song, who had been longing for snake soup, ultimately did not get to eat it.
There's no way around it; this snake soup takes at least half an hour to simmer.
The lunch break is only about half an hour.
Upon learning this, Bai Song sighed helplessly.
However, seeing the fresh rabbit meat on the table and the sizzling fried cured meat made me feel better.
At lunchtime, no one at the table could beat him to a bite.
When we set off again, the sun was still blazing.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang made some simple modifications to the rain shelter, turning it into a sunshade.
Fortunately, the trees and cliffs in the mountains provide shade, which helps to keep the temperature down.
She even suspected that if she left the mountains now, it would probably be even hotter outside.
The convoy continued along the mountain road.
In the late afternoon, Lu Qingqing was resting in the carriage when she felt the carriage suddenly stop.
The row of carriages following behind also stopped.
They just didn't know what was happening ahead, so someone got out of the car to check.
Lu Qingqing had just gotten up and was about to leave the carriage when the carriage door was suddenly opened.
Qin Lang peeked in, handed her the compound bow that was placed near the carriage door, and whispered:
"Qingqing, there seems to be a wild boar ahead."
I heard some noise, but I wasn't sure how many there were.
Lu Qingqing perked up at the mention of wild boars.
It's been so long since I've seen a wild boar!
She nimbly jumped off the carriage and gestured to the people behind her to follow.
Qin Lang was worried about her being alone, so he quietly followed her.
Behind him, the hundred or so people in the group fell silent in unison.
Even the horses and mules, which usually neigh loudly, had their mouths held shut by the crowd.
On the other side, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang tiptoed forward.
Walk a few dozen meters ahead, and you'll see a small dirt road leading up the mountain.
There were many places on the dirt road that were covered by grass and trees and were not completely dry.
Here, you can clearly see the hoofprints that were just stepped on not long ago.
Above the mountain path, one could hear something arching across the ground.
Qin Lang gestured to Lu Qingqing, then drew his sword and walked ahead.
Lu Qingqing hung the broadsword back on her waist, took the composite bow from her back, and nocked the string and drew the bow.
The two of them went up the path one after the other. They hadn't gone far when they saw a dozen wild boars rooting in the soil for food under a tree not far away.
Before the two could make a move, the wild boar in front twitched its nose and suddenly looked up at them.
Lu Qingqing knew in her heart that something was wrong; they were upwind.
The wind blew along the path, carrying their scent with it.
