Chapter 53: The boy who failed to eat sheep eggs to replenish his body's strength
To Zhang Liu's dismay, he watched for a long time without waiting for the two girls to make any further moves to chat.
Qin Rushuang and Anya looked at each other instead, then let go of each other and began to sit in front of the fire and chat quietly.
From time to time, two distinct laughs were heard.
Although it looks very nice.
But it's also very boring.
He deliberately slowed his steps and said to the two people who turned around and said, "I'm back…"
"Look, I knew Zhang Liu would react like this! Don't take another bite later!" Qin Rushuang looked at Zhang Liu's blank expression, smiled, and said, "I understand him better, right?"
"Ah! Zhang Liu, you big fool!" Anya scratched her head and cried, with a remorseful expression on her face.
"Haa?" Zhang Liu stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do for a while.
He was also very curious—what were the two girls in front of him talking about now?
It seems to be something related to him.
"Just now, when you were hiding behind the rock with the sheep on your back, Qin Rushuang saw you. She made a bet with me whether you would deliberately make noise and come. Can't you even eavesdrop properly?" Anya said it angrily.
Zhang Liu suddenly became speechless.
At the same time, he was becoming more and more embarrassed; he didn't even know how to peep, and he was discovered directly...
They even used him as betting material.
"Um, Qin Rushuang, why don't you get up and get out of the way first?" He walked over to the two of them and changed the position of the sheep from carrying it on his back to carrying it on his shoulder. Zhang Liu looked at Qin Rushuang, who was already a little pale, and coaxed in a low voice, "I'll cut it off and ask you to come down after I'm done."
"no need!" Qin Rushuang took the initiative to walk to Zhang Liu and said, "I can do it!"
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Liu was a little surprised by the other party's resolute attitude and was about to continue the persuasion when he heard Anya say, "Zhang Liu, Qin Rushuang just told me that this is something she should try in the future."
"Um, actually, that's not necessarily the case." Raising the sheep into the air, Qin Rushuang and Anya joined hands to hang it on the rack. Zhang Liu smiled and said, "I thought about it; I don't think it will be possible in a short time; I don't think there will be another sheep."
"What do you mean?" After hanging the sheep carcass, Anya sat down next to it and began grinding the dull piece of metal. Qin Rushuang stood next to Zhang Liu and asked curiously, "Why won't there be another sheep?"
"In the situation last night, it was obvious that the sheep had never seen anyone here before, so they regarded me as someone they could resist without sharp claws and fangs." Zhang Liu touched his chin. Speaking, he said, "I think this has always been the water point for the sheep. After we occupied it, they were struggling!"
"Oh! Is that why you were standing like that last night?" Anya held the coin upright in front of her mouth and blew hard, making a whistling sound. Then she continued to lower her head, grinding as she spoke to take control. Zhang Liu's topic: "So, can't we set traps to catch more?"
"Please, if their leader is killed and roasted here, any sheep will know that it is not easy to mess with us." Zhang Liu looked at Anya wordlessly and said, "If I were like that to sheep, they would definitely not come here, and if it weren't for a chance encounter like what happened yesterday, we wouldn't be able to successfully catch up with them on flat ground."
"Is that so?" Qin Rushuang nodded slightly, and the look on her face suddenly became complicated.
Instead of fearing the disgust of seeing corpses, she was unwilling to give up meat.
The hot skewers she ate gave Qin Rushuang an unprecedented sense of power.
She even felt that even her lower abdomen, which had been vaguely aching, also became warm after eating something hot.
"By the way, Zhang Liu, what about the sheep testicles?" Anya quickly completed the metal and handed it to Zhang Liu. She noticed that the sheep had not only lost its main head but a smaller one as well. She said with a smile on her face, "Did you eat it secretly?"
"I left it outside. There wasn't much meat in it, and it was embarrassing for everyone." Zhang Liu reached out to pick up the metal, then explained to Anya, "I put it with the sheep's head. Maybe it can be used as bait after it rots in the future."
"That's it; I was planning to let you replenish your strength." Without changing her smile, Anya turned to look at Qin Rushuang, who was blushing just as she was, and said, "It seems that Zhang Liu missed a piece of candy."
"…" Zhang Liu was speechless as he looked at Anya, who took the initiative to drive, and then began to peel the sheepskin down the neck.
When Anya saw the white fat and crimson muscles revealed, she felt a little stimulated.
But Qin Rushuang, next to her, began to tremble and swallow.
It wasn't because she was greedy; Qin Rushuang was just swallowing saliva to prevent herself from retching.
"If you feel uncomfortable, just go up first." She extended her hand to help Zhang Liu pull the sheep's leg. Anya looked at the pale Qin Rushuang next to her and said, "Don't hold still. Zhang Liu also said that there may not be any sheep in the near future."
"It's okay! I can do it!" Qin Rushuang looked at Zhang Liu's face, and a wave of strength surged from her heart to make her stand up straight, and then she also took the initiative to reach out and grab the other leg of the sheep.
The cold feeling from the hoof made Qin Rushuang tremble all over.
But she held on to the sheep's hoof and refused to let go.
Zhang Liu looked at Qin Rushuang, didn't say much, but tried to speed up his hand movements.
There is no relief at the moment, and the best solution is to end the matter quickly.
But skinning sheep is really annoying.
Skinning animals on TV is as easy as eating a banana, with half the body disappearing at once.
But if Zhang Liu did it himself now, he would need to carefully cut the gap with the metal piece and then pull hard to take the piece off.
Cut the gap again and pull it hard.
This is still easier to handle with the abdomen and back.
After making several cuts in the skin at the distal joint of the lamb's leg, he simply made a circumferential cut around the leg, bypassing the hoof.
Fortunately, the sheep was suspended in the air by the "hanging rack" that Anya had made, and he was able to easily use his strength with the help of two girls.
That's why there's enough space to work with. If there was only one person, Zhang Liu really doubted whether he could skin him until the night.
"Huh..." He pulled the sheepskin by his tail, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face.
In his opinion, this is not only sheepskin but also one of the important pieces of equipment to go out exploring tomorrow.
However, the feedback from holding the sheepskin in your hands isn't as soft as the cotton-lined jackets your parents bought you when you were a kid, and instead, it feels like you're gripping a thick, sturdy layer of rubber.
Can this thing really be used as a backpack?
Although there was some hesitation in his heart, Zhang Liu didn't have time to think too much at the moment.
He knew that his priority should be dealing with the lamb that had been fully exposed to the hot air rather than the skin.
