Chapter 1574: Tail

As a promising young man who was born in the city and grew up in the city, Zhang Zian had never slaughtered a live chicken other than dissecting fish. It was quite difficult to face the coypu that looked like an oversized mouse.

Since Feina and the others entered the forest, they have been eating instant canned food all day long, and they are tired of eating, but seeing that Zhang Zian did not hunt the animals in the forest for food, they could only endure it temporarily, so as not to fall into the "ecological destruction" At this time, when the wolves saw several fat coypus in their mouths, they couldn’t help drooling—in their eyes, coypus are no different from rabbits, and the taste is probably similar.

The fat in food is very important to cats. As pure carnivores, cats rely on protein and fat for energy, not starch.

During these days of trekking in the forest, Fina, Laocha, and Feimasi have lost a lot of weight, and they are more eager for fresh meat.

Zhang Zian estimated the food intake of the elves, took two coypus to the river, and used the swiss army knife he carried with him to peel them from the chrysanthemums, remove their internal organs, and get bloody hands. Flushing, he would rather offend the elves than do such a shameful thing.

The most troublesome thing is that the Swiss army knife is too small and not sharp enough. It took a long time to cut off the tail of the coypu, and I was sweating all over.

After finally disposing of the coypu carcass, soaking it in the river water to wash off the blood, and then skewering it with sharpened branches, it is ready to be roasted.

As for the peeled off fur and internal organs, of course, you can't just throw them anywhere, because they are smelly and easy to attract flies, and might even attract the patronage of scavengers. Throwing them into the river is easy, but it will seriously pollute the river.

So he dug a hole with a shovel and buried the fur guts and stuff.

While he was digging the hole, Richard, who was smothered by the smell of blood, flew back again, landed on a nearby branch, covered his nose with his wings, and shouted: "Quack! You idiot! Didn't see there was another tree over there?" Are the two stinking tails not buried? Or what do you think about these two thick black tails?"

Of course Richard was referring to the severed tails of the coypu. These two tails were thrown by Zhang Zian by the river, so Richard thought he had forgotten to bury them, and kept making noises. Scavenging raptor - California condor.

Everything around the butt is basically smelly. Although Richard's sense of smell is not very sensitive as a parrot, he can still smell the smell of blood and foul smell coming from the tail.

Zhang Zian filled it with soil, gave it a blank look, and cursed: "You know what! I left it on purpose, okay?"

"Gah?" Richard returned a bigger roll of his eyes not to be outdone,

"You idiot obviously just forgot, and you are still stubborn? What are you doing with these two stinky tails? There is not much meat on these tails!"

"Of course it is useful."

Zhang Zian rinsed the skinned coypu tail with river water, then laid it flat on a relatively flat and concave stone by the river, then took some river water to soak the tail, roughly estimated the proportion, and added some table salt.

"Tsk tsk! I understand, you want to have a skewer, right?"

"certainly not."

Zhang Zian shook off the water from his hands, and began to gather firewood nearby to start a fire.

The other elves were also very curious. He didn't look like he was going to eat the tail of the coypu. What did he do with it?

"The coypu's tail tendon is made of collagen, which is very suitable for medical sutures. I thought it might be useful. I plan to pull out the tail tendon after eating, and keep it in case it can be used. What?" he explained.

Before, the head of a red deer was severely scratched by a black bear. He only sterilized and bandaged it, but because there was no anesthetic and no sutures, there was no way to sew it up. Fortunately, it was strong enough to survive .

The minke whale that was stranded on the beach in Binhai City earlier, he used kite string to sew up its wound, because the minke whale's wound was too big and deep, and it would definitely not survive without suturing. Besides, the minke whale was stranded on the beach at that time He couldn't move, and the whale's skin and fat layer were thick, so the pain wasn't necessarily strong, so he boldly sewed up the wound on the minke whale without anesthesia.

The deer can’t do it anymore. The deer’s skin is thin and doesn’t have that much fat. If it hurts, it will definitely run and struggle. Besides, there are no sutures, so I gave up.

Seeing the coypu, he remembered where he had seen it before. It seemed that it was written in the first aid manual borrowed from Sun Xiaomeng that after the tail tendons of the coypu were treated, they could be used as sutures and sewed in the wound for a month. Left and right can dissolve on their own, no need to remove stitches.

Now that he had a ready-made coypu, he planned to make a fuss and pull out a few tail tendons as spares—it would be best not to use it, but in case of unforeseen circumstances, he would not be helpless if he needed to use it.

As for the problem of anesthetics, there is still no solution for the time being.

He explained in his mouth that his hands were not idle. He walked around and picked up enough firewood to start a fire. Then he put two skinned coypus on the firewood, and one wiped them inside and out. A thin layer of salt was applied, and the other was not smeared with salt, but some edible wild vegetables and fruits were stuffed in the abdominal cavity to remove the fishy smell.

Light the bonfire, and the fat coypu will be roasted very quickly.

While waiting for the meat to be cooked, he peeled off the meat attached to the tail, found something that looked like a tail tendon, pierced the tail tendon with the tip of a corkscrew used in a Swiss army knife and hooked it, slowly Carefully pull out the tail tendon from the tail, pick out a suitable one, and soak it in hydrogen peroxide for disinfection.

This is a delicate job. There is more than one tail tendon in each tail. Some are long and some are short, some are thick and some are thin. Those that are too short or too thin are definitely useless. May break in the tail, so patience and extreme care must be taken.

The other coypus had been eaten by the wolves, but Fala did not eat them. It seemed that he, like the other elves, no longer drank the blood of his hair, but waited to eat the roasted coypu meat.

If you think about it, it’s true that although Fate is a wolf, since it was summoned as an elf, it must have been someone’s pet or had a close relationship with someone before. normal.

Listening to his explanation of the coypu's tail, Farrah couldn't help but suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "If people in the past knew such knowledge, it would definitely save many lives."

The other elves have long been accustomed to the miscellaneous knowledge he got from nowhere. Instead of pondering the origin of this knowledge, they are more interested in the fragrant roasted coypu meat, and they can't help swallowing.
