SIAS Chapter 66.2

Yi Qingqing chose the second method this time. The reason was simple. It was quiet and only required a little vinegar, which was not a big deal.

She had killed rabbits several times in the skill-teaching mode, so she was familiar with the process. She skillfully fed vinegar to the two rabbits that were tied up tightly and dazed, with only their eyes still moving.

After waiting for a few minutes, the rabbits foamed and died.

This skinning should be done when the prey has just died. Not only was it fast and easy, but the blood would also not easily contaminate the fur.

The two rabbit skins that were peeled off were very complete.

She put them aside and processed the rabbit meat first.

She planned to store one of the two rabbits in her portable space for her own consumption and pickle the other one with salt to make dried rabbit meat so that she could send it back home.

The rabbit meat also needed to be salted for a few days before it could be hung to dry, so she put it aside after it was salted.

Then, she processed the rabbit skin.

First, scrape off the fat and residual meat on the rabbit skin, open the skin tube from the midline of the abdomen to make the skin appear to be open, and then spread out the fur and fix it to the wooden board with small nails, with the fur facing the board and the inside facing out.

She planned to hunt more rabbits before winter and accumulate some rabbit skins so that she could add a layer of rabbit fur lining to her coat, as well as shoes and pants.

With such equipment, she would not have to stay in the room and burn the kang all day when it was freezing cold.

She worked until dark and finally finished when the candle was almost burned out.

After washing up, she went to bed and took out the night pearl covered in the quilt.

The originally gray translucent beads emitted yellow-green fluorescence.

This light was probably similar to the luminous stickers of later generations, only a little brighter than that.

If you put it close to the things you wanted to see, you could see them clearly. However, it was also quite tiring to see things in this way.

So, it was just a rumor that this night-shining pearl could be used as a light bulb.

The bead felt cool and smooth, and it had a very good feel.

Yi Qingqing played with it for a while and then put it back in her backpack.

Although this thing was valuable, there was no channel to sell it in this era, and it couldn’t be sold at a high price. For the time being, it could only be collected.

Before starting the formal course today, Yi Qingqing couldn’t help but be curious and entered the hunting skills teaching mode first.

Dragging Master Li around the simulated ancient Daqing Mountain, they found the location of the soil slope where she signed in today.

She didn’t know what dynasty Master Li was from. If she asked Master Li, he wouldn’t answer, but the terrain of this Daqing Mountain and the one in Xiangshui Village didn’t change much.

The slope at this time was not the ordinary place she saw today.

There were many deserted graves without tombstones, overgrown with weeds, and extremely desolate, much more frightening than what she saw outside today.

There really were graves! And there were so many!

Yi Qingqing swallowed her saliva and asked Master Li in a roundabout way, “Is there anything I need to pay attention to when hunting in this grave?”

In short, no matter what the question was, the two keywords of hunting could not be missing, otherwise, Master Li would be like a broken artificial intelligence and knew nothing.

“Generally, only weasels and mice like to burrow in the desolate graves. They don’t have much meat on their bodies, and weasels hold grudges, so it’s not worth provoking them.” Master Li said seriously.

“Is there nothing else? For example, if we come here to hunt at night, will we encounter strange things?” Yi Qingqing was still curious about whether there were ghosts in this world.

In her previous life, she personally verified that people would become ghosts and go to the underworld after death.

So were there ghosts lingering in the world of the living? Did she not cause any trouble by signing in today?

It was really hard to control the superstitious thoughts. In fact, this world was not only about science, but there was also metaphysics.

Master Li shook his head, “No.”

The author has something to say:

—Sugar-Sprinkling Little Theater—

Yun Guyuan: I regret again not living in the room next to my wife. It’s not on my way home, so I have no excuse to send her home. Is it too late for me to move now?
