Chapter 340
Parrish and Clyde did a bang–up job cleaning up the chicken, while Astrid, with her own dagger in
hand, cut the meat, boiled some in a pot, and skewered some onto wooden sticks to roast.
Cooking meat took a long time, but grilling meat could be done quickly. Everyone was gathered around
the fire, watching her hustle and bustle, like a bunch of kids waiting for supper.
Especially Parrish, his mouth was watering like crazy.
Astrid seasoned the roasted meat, and the tantalizing aroma of the grilled chicken made everyone feel
even hungrier. “Alright, it’s all ready. Let’s share it among ourselves.”
“Thanks!” Parrish didn’t stand on ceremony, grabbed a piece of meat, and started to chow down. “Wow,
this is the best meat I’ve ever had in my life!” “Thanks to Astrid, otherwise we’d be really hungry
tonight!” Odell chuckled, thinking how lucky they were to have meat in such a place.
Joana was very cautious, she dared not grab any unless Astrid gave her the green light.
Everyone got their meat, but she was the only one who didn’t move. She was sitting there, hugging her
knees, looking pretty pitiful. “Take it. A skewer of meat was handed to her. She quickly raised her head
and saw Naylor’s poker face.
Naylor said, “Please don’t bother us in the future.”
Bother?
Joana wanted to throw the skewer away in anger!
But she was so hungry, and Astrid had worked so hard to prepare this meal. If she wasted it, Elio would
definitely not let her go.
“I’m sorry, I won’t be self–willed anymore.” Joana took a small bite of the meat, feeling more and more
wronged..
Now everyone was on Astrid’s side, Joana knew she was in for a rough few days.
After they finished the meat, they had some soup and wild vegetables and everyone was in high
spirits..
Naylor said, “Alright, let’s hit the road.”
It was hard to find food in the mountains during winter.
It was only the third day, but Joana had already shed many tears, often bursting into tears as they
walked. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In the middle of the night in the forest, a woman’s cries combined with the sound of the wind were
pretty creepy.
They walked for a long time, and by the time they found a campsite, it was already dark.
The terrain was flat, surrounded by dense trees and not much wind.
After setting up the tent, Joana went straight to sleep.
Elio saw Astrid pull out a small hand–crank ice drill from her bag and couldn’t help but laugh, “Astrid,
what are you planning to do with that ice drill?”
“Of course, it’s for self–defense.” Astrid said, holding the ice drill, “Let’s go, let’s find some food.”
“Astrid, wait for me! What skill are you going to show off this time?” Parrish dropped what he was
holding and ran over, “I can be your grunt.”
Astrid smiled faintly. Ever since she caught the wild chicken with her arrows, Parrish had been looking
at her differently.
“I researched the terrain of this mountain range before coming here. There’s a mountain lake nearby,
I’m gonna check it out, maybe we can catch some fish.” Astrid knew Parrish would follow, so she said,
“You bring a plastic bag for the fish.”
“Alright!” Parrish excitedly ran back to get a spare plastic bag. He was as excited as a kid.
He now realized that following Astrid meant good food!
Clyde quietly walked over, “I’ll go too.”
Elio originally wanted to stay alone with Astrid to build up some relationship, but suddenly two people
came.
