Chapter 383: Chapter 384: Where is my meat?
Perhaps it was due to the lower temperature here, it took a long time to cook the meat to the point where it had some flavor, but the color didn’t change much, and it was obvious that it was still raw.
Su Tang hadn’t eaten breakfast, and now the smell of the roasting meat was making her feel incredibly hungry!
Unfortunately, the meat was raw, and thus inedible!
The sound of the waves beating against the rocks reached her ears, and the fresh, cold air was filled with the scent of roasting meat.
Feeling suddenly inspired, Su Tang had an idea.
She turned to look at Gaiyin, her eyes sparkling, "Let’s go and have a look at the rocks over there, we might find some seafood. How did I not think of that before?"
Where Su Tang lived on the Blue Star there was no sea, and she had never left her city in all her years growing up, so she had no idea what sea creatures were edible. However, she had the System.
Su Tang excitely picked up Hua Sheng, with Hua Mo quickly following behind her.
Gaiyin took one last glance at the roasting platform then followed with no further comment.
Yadang waved at them from behind, "Hey, where are you guys going? Wait for me!"
They stood on a large rock by the sea, looking around the beach, the crevices in the rocks, hoping to find something. Unfortunately, there was nothing. There were plenty of beautiful shells, and some empty conch shells.
Could it be because the weather was so cold?
Su Tang couldn’t help but wonder. However, that didn’t make sense. After all, seafood should be available even in winter. Yet this beach was clean, as if someone had tidied up, there was not a single living thing.
They walked a few more rounds along the beach, but to no avail.
Although they had not gained anything substantial from this round, Su Tang had made some mental gains.
The bone needles used by the females seemed to be made from fish bones, which meant that there are fish here. The stream in the valley was formed by the melting snow from the mountains, so there were no fish in it.
It seems that when she has time, she has to search the forest for other lakes. She remembers seeing on TV that if the surface of a lake freezes in winter, fishes might jump out if a hole is made in the ice.
This is scientifically proved, but Su Tang has never tried it. If it indeed is the case, they will have a new source of food for this winter season.
Thinking about pickled fish, spicy fish, spicy tofu and fish... she was already drooling, and her stomach was growling.
"I can’t stand it anymore, I’m so hungry. Let’s hurry back! If the meat isn’t ready yet, I’ll just eat a rice ball first, otherwise I don’t think I can wait till the meat’s done cooking."
She looked weak as she returned to the roast platform. But when she saw the empty roast rack, Su Tang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Where is, my meat?!"
Gaiyin frowned, looking at Yadang, and found the same confusion in his eyes.
Su Tang was about to cry from frustration!
"Who on earth stole my meat?! Resisting will bring strict punishment, Confess and you will be forgiven! Just come clean, and I will forgive you!"
"..."
An eerie silence.
While Su Tang was shouting, Gaiyin was closely observing the movement in the surrounding area and carefully looking for any traces left behind.
But it was clean. Nothing remained.
The meat on the roasting rack seemed to have flown away on its own.
Apart from the footprints they left when they first came, the snow in the other areas was still flat, as if no one had ever stepped on it.
Su Tang was irritated. The meat that she had been waiting so long for was gone just like that!
Yadang speculated, "Could it be a bird or some creature with wings that smelled the meat and stole it?"
