The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

After collecting the prey, Lu Jiao took out a small bottle of salt and cumin from his bag and handed it to Chen Wen.

"Take Aze and spread the salt evenly. I'll go find some branches."

People on both sides divided the work and strung the pickled chickens and rabbits on branches that were more than a finger thick.

A circle was formed around the fire, with five peeled branches inserted and then secured with several large stones.

Just above it hangs a small pot filled with water freshly drawn from the creek.

The water in the water bags they brought had been almost finished, and Lu Jiao didn't dare let Lu Ze drink raw water.

The fat on the outside of the chicken was not completely removed, and it slowly turned brown under the roasting of the campfire.

The golden, transparent chicken fat dripped onto the firewood diagonally below, stirring up a cloud of black smoke. At the same time, the unique and tempting aroma of roasted chicken mixed with the scent of cumin penetrated the noses of the three people.

Lu Ze swallowed his saliva and seemed to be talking to himself: "How long do I have to wait before I can eat this!"

Lu Jiao glanced at his greedy look and chuckled, "Don't worry, it has to be cooked through, right?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." Lu Ze muttered to himself, not sure whether he was answering Lu Jiao or comforting himself.

After roasting the chickens over a high fire for about ten minutes, Lu Jiao turned them over.

Rabbits are much larger than chickens and take longer to cook.

Lu Ze wanted to help Lu Jiao, but he had never had a barbecue outdoors before, so he could only stand by and watch anxiously.

My stomach kept rumbling.

Lu Jiao couldn't help but suggest to him: "You haven't finished the biscuits you brought this morning. You can eat some first."

"No!" Lu Ze's eyes flashed with fire. "If I eat the pancakes, I won't have room for meat! I want to eat meat!"

Under his expectant eyes, Lu Jiao pulled out the first roasted chicken and used a dagger to cut open the thickest part of the chicken leg.

Without the outer layer of fascia, the juice in the chicken leg fell as the dagger cut it, dripping onto the firewood, making the smell in the cave even stronger.

Chen Wen couldn't help but take a few breaths of the fragrance.

“Brother, are you done?” Lu Ze had already stood up, pacing back and forth with his body hunched.

"Alright!" Lu Jiao blew on the chicken leg while pulling it off, and reminded Lu Ze, "Wrap it with oil paper, otherwise it will be burned!"

“I know, I know!” Lu Ze blew on it carefully, and then started to chew it.

While chewing on it, he mumbled, "It's delicious... Ouch, it's hot!"

Lu Jiao resisted the urge to laugh at him and tore off the other chicken leg and handed it to Chen Wen.

"Try my cooking too!"

"Sir, how can I eat first? You eat first!"

"I told you to eat, so just eat. Why are you talking so much?"

Chen Wen subconsciously shrank his neck and took the chicken leg.

In the light of the fire, the surface of the chicken leg had a burnt yellow glow.

Lu Jiao had already cut off a large piece of meat with a dagger and put it into his mouth, commenting vaguely: "It was marinated for a short time, so it's not very flavorful, and I haven't used cooking wine to remove the fishy smell yet.

Fortunately, the ingredients are fresh, and the chickens are free-range in the mountains all year round, so they taste good.

It would be even better if it could be brushed with honey and sprinkled with chili peppers.”

Chen Wen buried his head and nibbled on the chicken leg, complaining in his heart: Young Master is too picky. It's good enough to have enough food when you're out. How can you expect to eat well? I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a lot on this trip to the northwest.

Fortunately, Lu Jiao didn’t know what Chen Wen was thinking, otherwise he would definitely make a bet with him.

When he and Kui Lang returned from the northwest, he could ask Kui Lang if he had been treated unfairly during the journey. But that was a story for later.

The three of them shared the chicken. Lu Jiao turned the rabbit over and reached out for the second chicken.

In this way, Lu Ze and Chen Wen each ate half a chicken, and the rest was taken care of by Lu Jiao.

There was no other way. Their stomachs were only so big and they had to save some space for the rabbit meat.

Before the end of the world in his previous life, Lu Jiao had eaten rabbit meat, but he didn't like it very much, and he didn't even dare to touch the rabbit head.

She pulled the last chicken out of the ground and asked Lu Ze, "You really don't want to eat any more?"

Lu Ze's little hands were itching to take another bite, but when he saw the rabbit that had been roasted pink by the campfire, he hardened his heart and shook his head desperately.

"No, I want to save my stomach for the rabbit!"

"Okay, okay!" Lu Jiao's tone was full of doting.

Lu Ze couldn't help feeling dazed when he heard this, as if being sold to Qinming Cottage was not such a bad thing.

At least I have a brother who dotes on me so much, and my cousin Hao.

If only it were possible, it would be great to be with my two brothers forever.

The three of them shared the rabbit, not like eating chicken, but Lu Jiao sliced the meat. Worried that Lu Ze would not be used to it, Lu Jiao also took out the unfinished meat sauce.

"If you're not used to it, just dip it in this meat sauce, it will help get rid of the odor a bit."

But Lu Ze had only eaten a few pieces before his little head started to nod, and finally he fell asleep on Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao moved his shoulders slightly, and seeing that the little guy was motionless and showed no sign of waking up, he held up his head with his hands.

"Chen Wen, help me, I'll make the bed for him."

She carried out a large bundle of dry straw from the depths of the cave, spread it on the ground, and took out a thin blanket from her bag and spread it on top.

Chen Wen also took the opportunity to put Lu Ze on the simple mat on the floor.

"Sir, you stay with the young master tonight, I will keep watch over the fire."

"No, I have something to go out for tonight."

Seeing Chen Wen's puzzled look, Lu Jiao said, "You and Aze stay here tonight. I'll go find a big rock and seal up most of the cave entrance. There shouldn't be any problem."

What she didn't say was that she would also set up a mental barrier at the entrance of the cave, which would not only block the smell but also confuse the vision.

"Is this really okay? I'm worried that wild animals that roam at night may smell the blood in the afternoon and come into the cave."

"Trust me, don't worry!"

Lu Jiao did not explain much. After Chen Wen was full, he finished the remaining roasted rabbit with the meat sauce.

Although she didn't like eating rabbit meat, she hated wasting food even more. Especially since Lu Jiao had experienced the days of food shortage in the end times.

She swallowed the last bite of meat, the crystal core moved slightly, and the unique taste of rabbit meat in her mouth disappeared completely, leaving no trace.

It's getting late and there's still a lot to do tonight.

She first picked up a lot of dead wood and piled them next to Lu Ze's bed, then moved a large stone from not far away and blocked most of the cave entrance.

Chen Wen looked at the moonlight coming in from the top of the cave, which was only the width of his palm. The cool breeze blew into the cave from the remaining gap, making a slight humming sound.

He didn't feel scared, but felt a warm feeling in his heart.

One day he will be able to have the same high internal strength as the young master, so that he can move such a large stone over here with ease.

Even though he was worried, Chen Wen sat by the campfire, the warm flames shining on his body, and soon fell asleep with his knees hugged.

What he didn't see was that several thick dry logs were slowly moving towards the center of the campfire.
