Chapter 411: Good Way

“Of course you can! With your skills, you can go up the mountain to hunt yourself! I can bring you to the stone house I built in the deep mountains to take a look. When you need to rest while hunting in the deep mountains, you can find the stone house I built nearby and sleep there!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Wu Qinghe nodded.

After the wild boar meat had been divided, Luo Cheng asked Wu Qinghe to find a place further away and dig a hole to bury it.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to cherish food, but they had to take the bamboo raft down the river, so they couldn’t bring so many things.

Luo Cheng had to think of a way to take away the pig heads, pig legs, and pork.

Just as Luo Cheng was fretting, Li Xiaoran woke up.

Seeing that the ground was covered in meat, Li Xiaoran immediately became excited.

“Husband, there’s actually so much pork! I’l cut some lard and boil some oil later. We can even stir-fry wild celery tonight.”

When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran’s happy expression, he couldn’t help but be happy.

“There’s a lot of meat, but how can we bring it all away?! I’m afraid we can’t bring so much pork on the bamboo raft!”

Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

That’s right, this was a big problem!

“If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have cut the pork skin into pieces. If there was a complete pork skin, we could have placed these pork inside and taken them away!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was amused.

“But our bamboo raft can’t carry such heavy pork!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Isn’t the solution simple? Take out the pig bones and we’ll stew a pot of meat tonight. We’ll cook the remaining pork in a big pot. Then, we’ll each bring some to the bamboo raft. If one bamboo raft isn’t enough, we’ll make another bamboo raft. We’ll take one bamboo raft and Wu Qinghe will take another one. Won’t we be able to bring these pork along this way?

Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe both felt that this was a good idea, so they left the cooking of meat to Li Xiaoran. Then, they went to cut bamboo and collect vines.

Because they had a fulfilling afternoon, the two of them started to use vines to build bamboo rafts.

Wu Qinghe didn’t know how to set up a bamboo raft, so Luo Cheng guided Wu Qinghe as he did so.

Before the sun set, the two of them actually made two bamboo rafts.

Then, they placed them in the river and tested them. They were just right.

After completing this arduous task, the two of them dragged the bamboo rafts out and placed them on the shore. Then, they tied them with vines and placed them there.

On the other side, Li Xiaoran had already cooked all the pork. They were tied up by the leaves of the brown tree and hung up. In the pot, there were pork ribs, pig brains, and pig legs.

After the three of them sat down, they began to grab the bones and chew them carefully.

Because there were some wild onions and ginger, as well as some dried chili, the stewed pork bones tasted very delicious.

Not only did Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe, who had used up a lot of stamina, eat all the bones, but they also drank all the meat soup in the pot.

After eating, the three of them moved the fire to a different place. Then, they spread some weeds on the ground and slept.

At night, all kinds of cries came from deep in the mountains.

Li Xiaoran let Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe sleep.

After midnight, Wu Qinghe woke up and let Li Xiaoran sleep.

Fortunately, the fire didn’t go out at night and there were still people keeping watch, so the beasts didn’t dare to approach after seeing the fire.

Perhaps it was because the fire had been burning at night, but when Li Xiaoran woke up the next morning, she felt that the cooked pork that was hung up had shrunk.

After the three of them washed up, they cooked a large pot of meat and picked some wild celery to eat.

After the meal, Li Xiaoran extinguished the fire before starting to pack the pork with Luo Cheng.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng had brought some big bags made of cowhide, so all the pork was packed.

As Li Xiaoran looked at these big leather bags, she thought for a moment before asking, “Husband, are these leather bags water-proof?” Luo Cheng thought for a moment, then took out another one.

“I’ll take it to the river to give it a try now!”

Soon, the results were out.

As it turned out, these leather bags were really waterproof. No water leaked in at all.

Li Xiaoran became happy.

“Then we can tie these leather bags to the bamboo raft with brown leaves and take these pork away by relying on the buoyancy of the water!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately carried the leather bag to the bamboo raft to try.

“Wait, husband, you should put some air in the leather bag!” Li Xiaoran said as she gestured for Luo Cheng to pick up the bag and wave it around.

When the bag became full, she tied the mouth of the bag tightly with the leaves of the brown tree.

Just like that, the eight leather bags became bulging bags and were tied to the four corners of the bamboo raft.

The two bamboo rafts floated in the water. Even if people sat on them, they didn’t sink that much.

“This is a really good idea!” After Wu Qinghe tried it, he said in surprise.

“Since there’s no problem, let’s take the bamboo pole and go down the river!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Before long, the two bamboo rafts went straight down the river with three people and some luggage.

The river’s current was fast, so the two bamboo rafts quickly passed many places.

This speed was countless times faster than them crossing the mountains on foot.

Along the way, Li Xiaoran admired the scenery along the way and even saw many animals drinking water by the shore.

They even saw packs of wild wolves in a place where the river was calm.

Seeing the large number of wild wolves, Li Xiaoran gasped.

“Husband, look, there are actually so many wolves in this mountain! If we had walked, we would have been in trouble if we encountered those wolves!”

“That’s right! That’s why I suggested that we go by water!” Luo Cheng nodded and said.

Li Xiaoran was glad that they had chosen to use the waterway and that Luo Cheng had brought a leather bag with him. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to travel by water.

The time they spent on the water felt especially long.

At noon, Li Xiaoran and the others took out some food from their backpacks.

They had estimated this amount in advance and it wasn’t placed in the leather bag.

Therefore, at noon, they could continue to travel down the river without resting!
