Chapter 56: The boy who is served and helped by two girls

It was a peculiar experience being coerced into eating barbecue by the affluent girl in my class.

After all, what boy wouldn't enjoy being force-fed by a wealthy girl?

That is, if she wasn't nearly suffocating him to death...

After devouring the food given by Anya and Qin Rushuang, Zhang Liu hurriedly left.

His destination was the pit, where the lamb legs were roasting, and he needed to monitor the situation.

After a while, Zhang Liu arrived at the exposed rock, the hole about ten meters in front of him.

In the distance, green smoke billowed from the hole, indicating that the intense boiling situation had subsided.

Standing at least ten meters from the hole, he stopped, just in case, touching the ground with the back of his finger.

The cold touch that met him indicated his extreme anxiety.

Zhang Liu sighed slightly and walked towards the pit entrance.

As he approached, a wave of heat swept over him.

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Liu peered into the hole.

The long stick he left for ventilation had completely burned, turning into a few thick charcoal pieces at the bottom with a red glow.

He kicked the rocks into the hole with his foot to make sure nothing was loose.

Sitting on the edge, he extended his hand over the rock's edge to feel the temperature with the back of his hand.

A little hot, but manageable. He boldly touched it, confirming it was safe.

If he could catch it, there would be no risk of slipping or having no place to grab on.

Being in the wilderness, every action required careful consideration.

Zhang Liu ran to the side, found a longer wooden stick, and began stirring the ashes at the bottom.

The stick showed no adhesion, indicating extensive burning inside—the success of the pit-burning plan!

However, while stirring, some remnants of withered grass or leaves not entirely burned ignited, starting a second round of burning on the rock wall.

After mixing every spot in the hole with plant ash, Zhang Liu threw the stick away and sighed in relief.

Initial preparations have been completed!

The next task is to prepare dinner.

In his mind, four huge roasted lamb legs were already waving at him!

Zhang Liu only saw a barbecue recipe on TV.

But he remembered every detail clearly.

The allure of sizzling roast lamb for poor teenagers is very strong.

The first step is to get enough firewood!

This problem is easy to solve; just make more trips back and forth.

After several days of accumulation, a large pile of firewood was stored on flat ground near the cave.

The three picked them up from nearby or from the distant forest.

They are all thick and long, and the thickest and longest is a wooden stake that is more than three meters long and has a waist-width radius.

It was originally a very tall tree, but it was eaten by insects and then smashed, and later, Zhang Liu and Anya carried it away.

It really took a lot of effort.

When Zhang Liu saw a lot of firewood in front of him, he nodded in satisfaction.

Not to mention four legs of lamb, it is estimated that ten legs of lamb can be roasted.

Outside the cave, Qin Rushuang and Anya left separately, and there was only the hanging cutting rack that was still smoking mutton.

Zhang Liu showed no signs of hesitation or laziness and began moving the wood like a little hamster.

One trip, two trips, three trips...

Zhang Liu himself couldn't remember the number of times he had walked back and forth between the cave and the hole.

But in the end, he took five reserves of wood that the three of them had collected.

He placed all the timber upright so that it was hollow. Then Zhang Liu filled the middle with straw and then set fire to it, setting the fire directly in the open space.

Smoke filled the sky again, and Zhang Liu did not dare to leave casually now.

Since there was dry grass not far away, he was afraid that sparks would explode and cause a grass fire.

But God is also very generous in this moment.

There was no wind blowing, just the sun burning the ground.

It should be the afternoon, right?

Turning his head to look at the blazing sun that was basking his body, Zhang Liu sighed helplessly.

Over the past few days, there has been a significant color difference between the skin tone of the three people's faces and the skin tone under their clothes.

It is said that coconut meat can be crushed to extract the oil and used as a sunscreen.

Just when he was thinking violently, the raging fire was at its strongest.

Each piece of wood is ignited, then the surface is quickly charred, creating a crackling sound.

The blazing flames even prevented Zhang Liu from standing close to two meters away.

And this level of burning is what he really needs.

Zhang Liu took a deep breath, took a stick, and dragged all the burning wood into the hole that was more than one meter deep behind them.

There are continuous flames that ignite smoke, and there are also continuous flames that go out to emit smoke. The thick black smoke and yellow fire mix and emerge from the entrance of the cave. The scene is absolutely stunning.

However, he had no interest in watching this scene carefully.

Then he just waited until it was almost burned, then put the lamb legs in, covering the top with fresh coconut leaves and yellow sand to moisten and preserve the heat.

Zhang Liu raised his already sore arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned around, and walked towards the cave.

Now he couldn't wait to find a shady place to hide, then deal with the sheepskin that would be used tomorrow.

Arriving near the cave, Zhang Liu bumped into Anya and Qin Rushuang, who were just returning.

Anya placed the simple foam box on her head to block the sun, while Qin Rushuang directly covered her head with two coconut leaves.

Like Zhang Liu, they both took a lesson from the sunlight outside and then chose to run back to the cave to avoid the strong ultraviolet rays.

The moment they saw Zhang Liu, they all showed happy expressions on their faces, and each of them said:

“Zhang Liu, you're back”

"Thank you for your hard work"

“Yeah” Zhang Liu nodded and looked at Anya with the foam box on her head and asked, “Were you at the beach?”

“I want to add another seafood dish in the evening.” She ran to Zhang Liu and hid in a cool place, scooped up the water in the shell, and took a swig. Anya complained helplessly, "The sun is so bright today. The water is cold and wonderful!"

“Today’s sunshine is already stronger than yesterday.” Qin Rushuang picked up two shells, handed one to Zhang Liu, and placed the other on her lips. She drank and asked, "What's wrong with your face? Did you make that hole?"

“Yeah, it's already burning. I'll go back to prepare the sheepskin first. Lamb leg meat should be ready to eat when the sun goes down.” Zhang Liu nodded, turned around, and said to Qin Rushuang, “Why don't you go up there and rest first? I will remove the meat from the sheepskin later. The sight may look disgusting."

"Let me help you!" At almost the same time, Anya and Qin Rushuang both asked to help.

Realizing that they had said the same thing, they both looked at each other and then changed their words in unison. “Then... then I'll go get water...”

Zhang Liu was stunned when he saw Anya and Qin Rushuang making condescending remarks to each other at the same time. He felt that the situation was a bit strange.
