Chapter 259 258. Nap
The taro fried in the simple environment in the mountains is still a little inferior to the big iron pot at home. Huaiyu said very wisely:
"This multifunctional pot has limited materials, so there is no pot gas!"
Zhou Qian: ...What gas?
“And this taro charge is actually the best when pickled and sour, but that one needs to be made slowly at home... Let’s make do with it today.”
Zhou Qian found it hard to imagine why there were so many ways to eat this taro stick. But no matter what, for him, the crispy texture of taro and lotus after entering his mouth, as well as the slightly spicy, salty, crisp and juicy feeling when he takes a bite, combined with the flatbread prepared before, are indeed better than eating them dry. Much more comfortable.
He is quite satisfied.
After the meal was finished, the pots were washed, and the two of them divided the remaining handful of raspberries. Huaiyu looked at the woods not far away and couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Brother Zhou Qian... ..."
Zhou Qian's scalp tightened: "I have something to say."
"That's it..." Huaiyu took out a ball of hemp rope from his backpack: "We have already left. It’s been a long morning. Are your legs very sore? Why don’t you take a nap?”
"Look!" She shook the hemp rope: "This is the hammock I tied at home. I can give you the sleeping bag."
Zhou Qian: ...He is so happy! I wonder, do you think this is an outing? After lunch, I had to take a nap! But as soon as I put the words of rejection on my lips, I suddenly realized that today was no different from an outing.
So he paused for a long time and then refused: "No, my legs are neither sore nor painful, and are even very strong. Let's continue walking."
He looked at the communication When I was using the machine, I thought about Kuang Biao's description, and finally relaxed: "Rest for half an hour at most."
The branches and leaves in the woods cover the area. The heat at noon is not as unbearable as outside. Instead, the temperature will get higher when the heat evaporates at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Qian said this and planned to arrange a rest at that time.
After all, they were walking around all morning, so this amount of exercise wouldn’t make them tired, right?
But Huaiyu had quickly found two trees and started to tie the hammock.
Zhou Qian paused and took out a rolled-up sleeping bag from his backpack - no wonder the basket was filled to the brim, it really had everything.
However, at the moment when he laid the sleeping bag flat under the shade of the tree, Zhou Qian couldn't help but smile when he looked at Huaiyu who was already lying on the hammock.
No need to be vigilant, no need to be vigilant in advance to clear everything, and no need to worry about losing... This feeling is really good.
There is a warm breath in the air, but the wind under the shade of the trees is slightly cool. The sleeping bag is on the ground, so you don't have to worry about insects and ants. You are surrounded by the safety that Huaiyu can guarantee along the way.
He stared at the dots of sunlight projected from the leaves. He could see Huaiyu's dangling figure from the corner of his eye, and his consciousness gradually became chaotic.
......
When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Qian was in a trance for a moment, not knowing what night it was.
The wind gradually brought out the heat, and my body was soaked in hot sweat. The hammock not far away disappeared without a trace, and Huai Yu was nowhere to be seen.
But there was a particularly strong aroma in the air!
Zhou Qian came back to his senses and finally remembered what he was doing. When he quickly turned over and sat up, he saw the familiar small pot once again set up on the stove that had been set up at noon.
Huaiyu was fiddling with chopsticks, and a sizzling sound came from the pot:
"What is this?"
Zhou Qian came over, But she looked up and smiled happily: "Brother Zhou Qian, you're awake!"
Zhou Qian stared at her: "Where did the shrimp come from?" Huaiyu pointed to the stream they passed by and explained: "I didn't touch the water, and I didn't get close! They were caught with a straw pole from a distance! ”
There was no defensiveness about these shrimps. The blue-grey translucent river shrimps were hard to see in the water, but she easily caught a handful of them. It was too hot to save, so Huaiyu simply unscrewed his own small oil bottle, removed the shrimp heads first and fried a bottle of shrimp oil.
After heating it up, fry the wild garlic as well. You can fry anything you want and it will be delicious.
The remaining shrimps were shelled and dethreaded, and they were quickly fried in the oil pan just now. When Zhou Qian came over, Huaiyu had just sprinkled a little salt on them, and looked at Zhou Qian at the moment. Qian, quickly picked one up with chopsticks and took it out:
"Brother Zhou Qian, try it!"
She was so attentive and careful that Zhou Qian couldn't express his frustration, so he had to reach out and pinch the tail of the shrimp and stuff it into his mouth.
Don’t mention it, it’s fragrant and crispy and the meat inside is still tender. It’s really delicious.
Seeing him open his mouth, Huaiyu immediately laughed, then quickly put all the shrimps he had packed into the leaf bucket, and then asked: "Are you ready to set off now?"
Zhou Qian raised his arm to check the time, his expression almost tense for a moment——
"I slept for more than an hour?!"
Huaiyu nodded: "Yes! But you must have been nervous and tired this morning. It's normal to sleep more. I didn't call you."
She wiped her sweat: "It's too late to leave now! Although we took a lot of detours, I still remember a cave we encountered before, where we can rest at night."
< br>It is indeed unsafe to sit out in the jungle at night with a bonfire. Zhou Qian nodded and helped to pack the pot. Seeing that Huaiyu had put out the fire, he packed up his sleeping bag and said, "Let's go. ”
The cave still needs Huaiyu to lead the way. Although she can’t remember some of the sections clearly, in the end she was able to walk to the plank road that was exclusive to tourists before. Now her feet are on the smooth road. She was still gesturing at the area where she would rest at night——
"The cave is at the corner of the plank road. It is said to be a cave, but it is more like a protrusion of a big stone and a depression at the bottom."
"There is not much soil, it is very clean, and it is very suitable for resting at night. , I went to see it last time, and there were no bugs or ants."
She tried to search her memory and described: "The cave is quite unique, and it seems to be an attraction next to it. You can see it from the plank road. When we got there, there was a stone mountain that stood up like a finger. It was very abrupt, very conspicuous, and very close.”
“Brother Zhou Qian, let’s go take a look together this time. If possible, we can do it there in the future. If you mark it, you can choose where to spend the night in the mountain.”
She even had a plan: “In this case, next time we go to the mountain to spend the night, I will ask Xiaokui for a handful of melon seeds in advance.”
"It has grown as tall as bamboo now, and its flowers are big, yellow and conspicuous. If you plant one in a key place, wouldn't you be able to spot it from a long distance away?"
" It can be used as a landmark."
When she said this, she turned her head proudly: "Brother Zhou Qian, what do you think of my arrangement?"
Zhou Qian said expressionlessly. Okay.”
I just don’t know if Huaiyu realizes that the place she described is very similar to what Kuang Biao said, a place where mutated fungi grow.
Update two, good night. The next door is writing and writing.
