    299: The problem with deer blood

    The deer was alive, but it didn’t struggle much. It only kicked its legs occasionally, and its neck lay softly on Cheng Xiu’s shoulders, bending in a weird arc, as if a bone was broken.

    The team members who were pouting on the ground stopped in unison, their eyes following Cheng Xiu… no, to be precise, they followed the deer on his shoulder, and one of them swallowed loudly.None of them could believe that they had such good luck during this external training. You must know that last time, Instructor Cheng directly dragged people to a barren island in the Atlantic Ocean. They didn’t even have to eat insects. Dozens of people had to drink rainwater to survive for five days before going back.

    Cheng Xiu threw the stag onto a large protruding bluestone by the pool. With a slight movement of his hand, a sharp dagger appeared in his palm.He pressed the stag’s throat with his left hand, and stabbed down neatly and quickly with his right hand holding the knife. The stag neighed one last time, and its head fell to the side and died.Bright red deer blood spurted out from the edge of the knife. Cheng Xiu lowered his head and took a heavy sip.

    He did such an uncivilized act as drinking deer blood in a cool and natural way, and looking at the expressions of the people around him, it seemed that he was not surprised.

    Chen Yuhua walked over: “I followed you to endure hunger and cold just to watch them eat bugs, but you actually brought back a deer?”

    Cheng Xiu: “For a change.”

    Chen Yuhua looked unbelieving.

    Cheng Xiu: “Don’t want to eat?”

    Chen Yuhua: “Eat, eat, eat.”

    He rolled up his sleeves resignedly, took the knife handed over by Cheng Xiu, and began to help handle it together.The same dagger, which was a murder weapon in Cheng Xiu’s hands, turned into a scalpel in Chen Yuhua’s hands.He took the tip of the knife and stabbed it lightly into the back of the deer’s neck, slashing downward along the spine. Without making any movement, the deer rolled out of its fur as if it had taken off its clothes.

    The poor animal’s only remaining protest was a reflexive bounce, and then there was no more movement.

    After skinning the deer, Chen Yuhua was about to disembowel the deer. Just as he was about to cut it, Cheng Xiu raised his hand to stop him and turned to Qiao Qiao and said, “Come here.”

    Qiao Qiao was so soaked in the water that his brain almost froze. He was dumbfounded for a while before he realized that he was calling her.

    She walked over tremblingly, each step bringing a wave of colder water towards her. By the time she reached Cheng Xiu, she was shaking like a sieve.

    Cheng Xiu handed her a bowl made of rolled cattail leaves and said simply: “Drink.”

    Qiao Qiao looked down and saw that it was a bowl of still steaming deer blood.The smell of blood rushed straight into her nose. She frowned and took two steps back, with rejection written all over her face.

    Chen Yuhua: “Deer blood warms you up, or do you want to freeze to death here?”

    Qiao Qiao considered it and said: “I think the fire effect is better and faster.”

    Chen Yuhua said amusedly: “Do you think we went out for a picnic?”

    He looked down at his watch: “It’s ten o’clock in the morning. A patrol with live ammunition will enter the forest in two hours. As long as any one of us is caught, this external training will be a failure and I will be responsible. And if you want to maintain body temperature, you must warm yourself by the fire at least every three hours. I’m afraid we won’t be warmed a second time and we will be killed by the patrol chasing after the embers.”

    After Chen Yuhua explained this, Qiao Qiao also understood the stakes, but she grasped another important point: “Why are you responsible? Cheng Xiu is the instructor, right?”

    Chen Yuhua’s face twitched: “Haven’t you heard a sentence? The first-in-command is responsible for giving orders, and the second-in-command is responsible for taking the blame.”

    He was embarrassed to say that Cheng Xiu’s level was too high. The commander-in-chief who organized the external training had to stand at attention when he saw him. Who dared to punish him?

    After such a delay, the deer’s blood became a little cold, and a faint hot mist enveloped the bowl of red blood, which looked like the poison brewed by Snow White’s stepmother.But Qiao Qiao knew that she had no choice. Chen Yuhua was right, but more importantly, she was freezing to death. If she didn’t do something, she might end up here.

    Qiao Qiao took the handful of deer blood from Cheng Xiu’s hand, and tried his best to hypnotize himself that it was hawthorn juice. Then he closed his eyes and raised his head and took a deep breath, doing it in one go without giving himself a chance to regret it.

    A hint of appreciation flashed in Chen Yuhua’s eyes.

    Although she deliberately drank it quickly so that her mouth would not have time to taste the taste, the delicate gastric mucosa immediately protested. As soon as she swallowed the last mouthful, she felt nauseated. Qiao Qiao grabbed the kettle handed to her by Cheng Xiu and drank heavily to dilute the taste of blood in her mouth.

    Don’t tell me, it really works.

    After a while, my stomach felt warm as if a small stove had been set up, and the stove was still being filled with firewood. The excess heat flowed to the limbs, and the frozen hands and feet gradually regained consciousness.

    Qiao Qiao jumped twice in the water. Hey, he was resurrected with full health.

    Half an hour later, the venison skewered on several large branches was almost cooked. The meat was sizzling with oil due to the flames, exuding the aroma of protein.

    The elites watched helplessly while doing push-ups. Even if they were not allowed to eat, they still had to train with the smell. Is this what humans do?

    Cheng Xiu handed the first grilled skewer to Qiao Qiao, and Qiao Qiao handed it to Chen Yuhua. Chen Yuhua took it contentedly and was about to take his mouth. Unexpectedly, he caught Cheng Xiu’s eyes and silently returned the skewers.

    Qiao Qiao: “Aren’t you hungry?”

    Chen Yuhua smiled softly: “I can still persist.”

    She didn’t really like to eat this kind of thing, but the strange thing was that each skewer Cheng Xiu handed over had just the right balance of fat and thin, retaining the flavor of the fat without being too greasy. She originally just wanted to try something new, but she couldn’t stop skewering one skewer after another.Just sprinkle some salt on the meat, and it will be 10,000 times more tender than the ones in barbecue restaurants that are slathered with sauce.

    After burping at the end of the meal, Qiao Qiao realized that Chen Yuhua was still empty-handed.

    Qiao Qiao coughed lightly: “Why don’t you eat?”

    Chen Yuhua smiled gloomily: “Then I have to wait until someone finishes eating before it’s my turn.”

    That’s right, there were three people surrounding the stove, and she was the only one with a pile of leftover sticks on hand, and she cooked all the barbecue by herself.

    Qiao Qiao was embarrassed and grabbed the branch: “I’m full, I’ll take care of the rest.”

    Chen Yuhua said warily: “I’m warning you, classmate Qiao Qiao, don’t do anything stupid.”

    He expected Cheng Xiu to refuse, but the man stepped aside without saying a word and handed over the power of barbecue.

    Qiao Qiao thought that it was not difficult to barbecue. Besides, after watching it for so long just now, it was almost enough to follow the example.So he baked for a long time like Cheng Xiu did, and finally handed over two strings of unknown carbon black objects.One string was given to Chen Yuhua, and the other string was given to Cheng Xiu.The former’s eyes were twitching visibly, while the latter lowered his head and ate expressionlessly.

    Qiao Qiao is very concerned about the feedback from diners: “How is it?”

    Chen Yuhua’s expression changed for a long time: “It tastes terrible.”

    “How is that possible!” Qiao Qiao glared, “Look at how delicious he eats!”

    Cheng Xiu indeed ate very deliciously. He first bit a corner of the meat with his teeth, tore the whole meat off the branch, and then chewed it slowly with his back molars. The food was not polite, but it had the taste of drinking blood.

    Chen Yuhua was too lazy to say that Cheng Xiu could still enjoy the meal even if he ate a live snake.

    The remaining scraps of meat were distributed to the team members as their last meal before the official training began. After all, they would not have the opportunity to eat well for a long time.

    All the old men burst into tears of gratitude and devoured their food as if celebrating the New Year.

    After eating and drinking enough, Qiao Qiao felt that his body was getting hotter, and he was even slightly sweating.It was so undying that there was a strange heat coming out of her lower abdomen. She had been chanting “A calm mind will naturally cool down” for a long time, but it was no use. This heat was getting stronger and stronger.

    Chen Yuhua was burying the traces of the stove. When he saw her walking deeper into the pool, he shouted, “Why are you going?”

    Qiao Qiao waved his hand: “Wash your face!”

    She found a secluded place and washed her hands first, wondering why the water that almost froze her just now was not ice at all. Then she leaned over and dipped her face into the pool of water, trying to cool her cheeks.

    This worked for a while, but as soon as she left the pool, she returned to her original state. She was so dry that she really wanted to take off her clothes and soak in the water.

    Is the effect of that cup of deer blood too strong?

    There was a sound of water splashing behind her, and soon a tall shadow enveloped her. Qiao Qiao turned around and found Cheng Xiu standing behind her.

    The position of the two people was behind a large bluestone more than two meters high on the edge of the pool. The stone blocked them tightly. Unless the water came over, it would be difficult to find anyone behind them. It also separated the two from the team members just right.

    Cheng Xiu didn’t look at her, but squatted down and picked up a handful of water to wash away the deer blood remaining in his wrists and fingers.

    He washed slowly and carefully. A faint red color smeared in the water and spread to Qiao Qiao’s feet with the flow of the pool. For some reason, it gave people a very lustful feeling.

    Qiao Qiao felt her body starting to heat up again. Damn it, she knew there was something wrong with that cup of deer blood!

    No, Cheng Xiu drank too. Why did he act like nothing was wrong?

    “The deer blood is quite powerful.” Qiao Qiao laughed dryly and began to make insinuations, “I’m not cold at all now, how about you?”

    Cheng Xiu glanced at her lightly, then lowered his head: “Yes.”

    I am really fed up with this boring gourd.

    He washed his hands for a while without any embarrassment, and the skin on his hands was almost peeling off. The man didn’t mean to speak again. Qiao Qiao thought to himself, OK, you are awesome, I won’t ask anymore.

    She stood up and was about to leave. She glanced at Cheng Xiu’s squatting posture and suddenly felt that something was wrong.No, what is that big bulging thing between the legs?

    Qiao Qiao felt balanced in her heart. It turned out that she was not the only one who was suffering. Cheng Xiu was forced to be like that and couldn’t release him, so it was probably even more painful.

    I deserve it, you feed me deer blood.

    After a few seconds of gloating, Qiao Qiao began to worry again. This was about to be transferred. How could he see anyone?

    Just as she was thinking, a huge splash of water suddenly appeared in front of her. Qiao Qiao was unprepared and was turned into a drowned rat. After she finally pulled away her wet forehead and regained her sight, she saw Cheng Xiu actually jump directly into the water.

    The man regarded this place as a natural swimming pool and swam back and forth very quickly. With the temperature of the deep water area, no matter how strong his inner fire was, he would probably have extinguished it.

    “What are you two doing?” Chen Yuhua popped up, “Hey, why are you still swimming?”

    Cheng Xiu came ashore expressionlessly: “Catch fish.”

    Chen Yuhua was shocked: “Is there a fish? Why didn’t you find it just now?”

    Cheng Xiu: “Let’s go, prepare to transfer.”

    Chen Yuhua’s attention was successfully captured: “Yes, I have investigated all the routes. I have initially found three, two of which are smoke bombs. They will definitely fool the patrol into finding their way…”

    The two of them walked out while talking. Chen Yuhua, despite his busy schedule, did not forget to turn around and say to Qiao Qiao: “Why are you standing there in a daze? Follow me. If you are caught, you will be considered a failure.”

    Qiao Qiao wiped the water on his face and thought depressedly that he would have known that she would also go out to ‘catch fish’. Now she would be fine, and she would be the only one who felt uncomfortable.

    Alas, I hope the deer blood is slowly metabolized on the road.
