Chapter 16 The First Meal

Yesterday I wade into cold water and kept rushing to the road, steaming my clothes with my body temperature and no food to fill my stomach. A series of problems caused all four of them to have a cold.

In the face of a cold, Guyu's performance is no better than that of the three girls.

Dizzy, dizzy, heavy eyelids, weak whole body, sore throat.

Touching his hot forehead, Guyu couldn't help but sigh:

"What a fuck, Jueyin boy, is he just a son, or an ordinary man."

Seeing the three girls gathered around the bonfire, baking the fire while trembling with their lips, obviously they were also having a high fever.

So he hurriedly approached him. The three girls were weak all over and could only rub their butts, approaching each other, leaving such a place for Guyu.

The temperature of the bonfire made Guyu feel much more comfortable. He coughed a few times, cleared his throat and said:

"Don't worry, it's just a cold. I'm irresponsible. This thing doesn't require medicine and can be cured in seven days, as long as you don't have complications such as encephalitis and pneumonia."

The three girls tilted their necks and looked at Guyu muffled. They chose to remain silent and not complain about their savior. This is really irresponsible.

The main thing is that I don't have the strength.

After sitting for a while, Gu Yu couldn't help it anymore and was too hungry.

The three girls probably had too hungry, so they didn’t feel anything in their stomachs. Of course, it might be due to physiological reasons. After all, girls have more fat reserves than boys.

Guyu took a few deep breaths to allow oxygen to fully integrate into the blood and provide energy for himself.

After a little strength, he whispered:

"You guys keep the bonfire, the firewood is enough. I'll find a way to get some food and find herbs by the way."

After saying that, he stood up with the stone wall and staggered out of the cave.

The late autumn sunshine did not bring any warmth to the Grain Rain, but the autumn wind instantly swept away the residual heat left by the bonfire on its body.

If there is a river, there must be fish, but there is definitely no such thing as the shallow stream in front of you. There are also small fish the size of a little finger. When he went to the big river in the distance, Gu Yu asked himself that he was unable to go down the river to catch fish.

Guyu doesn't see the small fish fry in Qianxi that removes bones and internal organs and has no meat.

Of course, that was before.

Now he was holding a small circle of nets woven with branches and long grass under the grass roots on the edge of the stream.

Not to mention, in this primitive environment, there are quite a lot of small fish, and there are black bent river shrimps.

In less than half an hour, Guyu harvested no less than twenty small fish, the largest one with the largest thumb thickness and the smallest one had to squint and eyes to see.

There are a few river shrimps, the quantity is unknown, and the volume is a small handful.

Don't underestimate this meat that doesn't look big. It's enough for four people to starve to death from energy alone.

But this kind of little guy cannot rely on eating. Once he relies on eating, he will have nothing and can only be cooked.

Drink soup and mix water to fill up.

But the problem arose again, they have no trouble.

Guyu wrapped the small fish and river shrimp in a large broad leaf. The leaf was about one meter long and wide. I don’t know what kind of plant it was, but Guyu didn’t know it anyway.

Carrying the leaves, Guyu began to look for something that could replace the pot along the mountain, such as thinner stones, but it didn't.

But it was not considered as nothing was found, because he saw some familiar wild vegetables by the mountain.

Mountain garlic and shepherd's purse are all wild vegetables with good taste, and they can blend fishy fish and increase the beauty of the soup.

Most importantly, he also found wild ginger root.

Colds in spring and summer are mostly caused by dampness, while colds in autumn and winter are mostly caused by wind and cold.

Dampness requires clearing heat and detoxification, and wind and cold require warming the inside and dispelling the cold.

The colds of the four of them were obviously caused by cold water. Ginger root is the best thing to warm the inside and dispel cold, which can be said to be the right medicine.

The only thing that made him at a loss now was the pot.

There is really no substitute.

Just when he was at a loss, he looked at another broad leaf that had just been picked, which was intended to be used to make wild vegetables and ginger roots.

"Hey, there's a way!"

Guyu quickly picked a few more pieces of the largest leaves, wrapped them in wild vegetables, washed the roots of the wild vegetables and ginger by the stream, and cut the abdomen of the small fish with a dagger, squeezed out the internal organs, and then returned to the cave as fast as possible.

Perhaps it was because of the activity that made his bloodline clearer, and it was not as uncomfortable as before.

So he returned to the hole, put things on the base of the wall, and started to work hard again.

First, he used a stone as big as a fist to enclose three circles with a diameter of fifty inside outside the hole, and then picked three largest and insect-free broadleafs and spread them on the circle of stones. He pressed them with his hands in the middle of the leaves, and the leaves were concave like a pot.

Little Man'er came over tremblingly:

"Guyu, what are you doing?"

The other two girls also looked at Guyu, and they couldn't understand what this guy was doing.

Guyu pointed to the concave broadleaf and said:

"This is our pot!"

The three girls were stunned together.

Is this a pot?

"Guyu, how can this burn fire?"

Guyu took out three broad leaves and handed them to the three girls, saying:

"The mountain people have their own tricks. You three are going to take the leaves and go to the stream to fill the water. Make sure you eat well and warm in a while."

Hearing this, the three girls' eyes lit up, trembling, and running to the stream with great speed, diligently fetching water.

Gu Yu looked at the swaying three backs, shook his head and smiled, picked up a few blue stones and threw them into the bonfire.

When the three women came back with broadleafs, Guyu had already put the mountain onion shepherd's purse and small fish and shrimps in the largest concave broadleafs. It was a small pile of fish that had squeezed their internal organs, their nerves were not dead, and they were still beating.

"Come on, fill this leaf pot with water first."

Guyu said, pointing to the concave leaves where fish, shrimps and wild vegetables were placed.

The three of them poured all the water they bought back and barely filled the leaf pot. Guyu asked them to continue to get the water back and cook two more pots of ginger root tea. If they are lucky, this ginger root tea can treat their cold symptoms.

The three girls quickly continued to take a slumber. No matter what, they saw the fish and shrimps, and they felt inexplicably strong and were so hungry.

I didn't eat for two days and two nights.

But the three girls were still wondering how the water in the leaves should boil.

However, when they returned to the door of the cave with water, they had already smelled the fragrance of mountain onions and the tempting smell of fish and shrimp protein.

The three girls quickly poured all the water into the two leaf pots with ginger roots by Guyu, and then swallowed their saliva and surrounded them in front of the fish and shrimp soup pot, looking forward to it.

Tangtang asked curiously:

"Guyu, why did you let the water in the leaves boil? You haven't broken the leaves yet? It's so amazing!"

Gu Yu held two fresh branches as thick as a thumb in his hand and smiled:

"I know magic, isn't it? You see, it boils in seconds. The leaves are not burning yet, hehehe!"

The three girls, including Xiao Man'er, all shouted curiously:

"Teaching us, teaching us, you are the best, Guyu!"

Guyu smiled proudly:

"I can learn it even if I want to learn it. I will teach you Brother Guyu..."

"Brother Guyu!"

"Brother Guyu!"

"Brother Guyu!"

"Hiss!!! Is that unreserved?"

Guyu pretended to be contempt.

The three girls ignored them and continued to be cute.

The food is right in front of them, and they are very happy now.

Once I feel refreshed, the symptoms of the cold seem to be much less mild.

Gu Yu put on his arms and said proudly:

"Okay, then teach you Brother Gu's spells and make soup with leaves!"

As he said that, he used the two fresh branches in his hand to pick up a piece of blue stone in the charcoal and slowly put it in the leaf pot where the ginger root is located. He did not dare to sink the stone directly to the bottom and to hang it in the water.

"Thuh ~~~"
