Chapter 564: Chapter 349: Roasted Lamb Attracts Two Squeaking Creatures_2

By the time it was four in the afternoon, Jiang Luoluo would press the horn to notify Chu Mingcheng to come back first.

If there were boats approaching the area, she would also notify him in the same manner.

The boat’s horn was very loud; one could faintly hear it even from the other side of the island.

Just as it was about to reach four o’clock and she was ready to press the horn, she saw Chu Mingcheng emerge from the forest carrying a sheep on his shoulders.

"Did you actually catch a sheep?" Jiang Luoluo’s mouth hung open in surprise; she had thought that at best he would scope out the place today, set some traps and rely on luck. Yet, in just two hours, he had returned carrying a sheep.

Only in this moment did she realize, with this man around, even in an uninhabited area, they could successfully survive!

Not dazing for too long, Jiang Luoluo snapped back to reality and quickly ran to the deck, waiting for her man to return.

Chu Mingcheng placed the sheep in the dinghy and then rode it back to the Hei Yao.

"Impressive, how did you catch the sheep?"

"That goat was quite fierce; it even dared to bump into me when I approached. Why should I be courteous then? This is lamb meat delivered right to my door."

Chu Mingcheng naturally wouldn’t tell the truth and skimmed over it with an excuse, swiftly changing the subject.

"Shall we have a whole roasted sheep tonight?"

"Can we even finish it?" Jiang Luoluo looked at the sheep, which probably weighed over a hundred pounds, and rolled her eyes in disbelief, "Let’s just slice some meat off to make kebabs for tonight! Tomorrow we can properly handle it, roast half a sheep, and preserve the rest in the fridge for later."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go and take care of the sheep first!"

"Mhm~" Jiang Luoluo nodded and hurried back inside the cabin to prepare dinner, as she honestly couldn’t bear to watch the slaughtering process.

For some reason, she felt nothing when killing Golden Spearfish, but with cattle, sheep, and pigs she would feel very uncomfortable.

Chu Mingcheng, on the other hand, was fine with it. He took out all the tools needed for slaughtering and then began to process the sheep on the deck.

Bleeding it out, skinning it, and removing the organs...

From the sheep’s organs, Chu Mingcheng only kept the stomach and the heart, discarding the rest along with the sheep’s head into the water, a feast for the marine life.

He wasn’t interested in things like kidneys and didn’t need them, so naturally, he threw them all away.

Afterward, he divided the sheep into two halves: one half for roasting tomorrow and from the other half, he cut some meat to bring inside for Jiang Luoluo to skewer.

When they were having their dinner, a pod of killer whales had already finished their meal and came over, playfully frolicking around the island.

"This lamb is good; I’m actually looking forward to the whole roasted sheep tomorrow." Jiang Luoluo savored the skewers while sipping chilled beer, with an utterly satisfied expression on her face.

"Do you think one sheep will be enough, or should I go catch another one tomorrow? After all, we have to be self-sufficient from now on, and we should try to store as much meat as possible, especially since we have a refrigeration unit."

Considering they were only roasting half tomorrow, Chu Mingcheng felt that one sheep wouldn’t be quite enough.

Jiang Luoluo hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Then try to come back as fast as you can. I’ll need your help with roasting the sheep in the afternoon."

"Don’t worry, I now know where that flock of sheep is, and I won’t waste any time," Chu Mingcheng assured her.

A quiet night passed, and early the next morning, the two were already up.

After playing on the surface for a while, the killer whales left the island heading in the direction Chu Mingcheng had pointed out earlier, ready to fill their stomachs.

Meanwhile, after washing up, the two took out yesterday’s half a sheep to marinate, getting it ready for roasting in the afternoon.

Without any special tools for roasting a sheep, they sat together in the dinghy and headed to the beach, bringing the dogs with them to frolic on the sand.

Always staying on the boat wasn’t good for them over a long period.

Indeed, as soon as they were brought to the beach, the dogs immediately began running around happily.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t pay them any attention; after setting up a simple barbecue rack, he joined Jiang Luoluo in search of some sun-dried wood.

After finding plenty of wood, he dug a pit and started turning the wood into charcoal.

Jiang Luoluo was in charge of this task, while he went into the mountains to continue sheep hunting.

Different from yesterday, today they brought walkie-talkies, each carrying one to stay in touch if any issues arose.

Their walkie-talkies had a maximum range of ten kilometers; so long as Chu Mingcheng didn’t go to the farthest end of the island’s opposite side, there wouldn’t be any issues.

Entering the forest once more, he confidently made his way to the basin where he found the flock of sheep yesterday.

But the sheep were not there, so he continued towards the cliffs to look for them, only to find that the sheep were not there either.

Chu Mingcheng now had a bit of a headache, maybe the flock of sheep got scared off to another place yesterday.

This island was indeed not small, and searching for the sheep blindly would be quite difficult.

It was still early, and there wasn’t much point in going back, so Chu Mingcheng simply started wandering around the island.

One reason was to look for fruit or other animals; sheep had appeared, and Chu Mingcheng wouldn’t be surprised if a herd of wild boars turned up as well.

He also wanted to try his luck, and who knows, he might run into the flock of sheep again, right?

Then, when Chu Mingcheng accidentally found a small stream, he really did hear snorting noises.

Sure enough, a large wild boar followed by a string of piglets appeared in front of him.

The mother boar had never seen a two-legged creature, but the shiny eyes of the other made her instinctively feel uneasy.

Because the other was clearly drooling over her children, the ill-tempered boar became instantly enraged and lowered its head to charge.

Little did it know, the other only lightly tossed the spear in hand and knocked it to the ground.

The severe pain prevented it from standing up again for the moment.

Seeing their mom knocked down, the piglets were so frightened that they scattered and fled immediately.

Chu Mingcheng, on the other hand, chuckled and quickly chased after them in his sea god mode, swinging at every piglet he saw.

There were many piglets, at least more than ten.

Chu Mingcheng was not at all polite, knocking out five, and didn’t stop until he couldn’t find any more as the others had run far away.

Considering the reproduction rate of wild boars, and given that the large sow wasn’t seriously injured, it probably wouldn’t be long before another litter of piglets arrived.

Although it was strange that the island actually had wild boars, Chu Mingcheng didn’t consider this an issue.

Given how close we were to Indonesia, some people might deliberately bring animals over to the island and then come to harvest them every year.

Some even buy an island and bring animals over, for all he knew.

But Chu Mingcheng’s location was in the Public Sea, and the island was too large to be owned by anyone.

After he trussed up the five piglets with vines, the old sow had long since made her escape.

She wasn’t stupid; knowing she was no match for him, she wouldn’t foolishly charge again.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t interested in the large wild boar either; the boar wasn’t castrated, so its meat was gamey and not tasty.

On the other hand, these young piglets that hadn’t been alive long didn’t have that issue; their meat would be delicious no matter how it was prepared, especially roasted suckling pig.

With his bountiful harvest, Chu Mingcheng no longer dwelt on the sheep and brought the five piglets back to the beach.

Jiang Luoluo had seen so many surprises that the sight of the piglets only made her a little happy; the amazement was no longer there.

That afternoon, a delicious scent of roasting meat wafted from the beach, carried far away by the sea breeze.

This aroma lasted a very long time because, without a proper grill, the whole sheep roasted very slowly.

Starting from one in the afternoon until past five in the evening, the sheep’s skin gradually became crispy.

"It smells so good, I’ve had roasted whole sheep many times before, but it’s the first time I’ve found it this fragrant!" Jiang Luoluo sprinkled cumin on the sheep meat, salivating at the scent.

The two dogs were even less composed, their drool had already moistened the sand beneath their mouths, forming a circular stain.

However, preparations were made for them too, only a tiny bit of salt was sprinkled on the hind legs of the roasted whole sheep destined for them.

"Maybe it’s because we barbecued it ourselves that it seems especially delicious?" Chu Mingcheng turned the sheep meat over and over, teasing her.

Jiang Luoluo nodded, about to agree, when she suddenly heard a squeaking sound.

The squeak was somewhat reminiscent of a mouse, but the voice was softer, with an almost coquettish quality.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t need a reminder, as he heard it too.

Both of them looked towards the rocky area to the south of the beach, and saw two adorable little creatures, with short paws held up to their chests, standing on their hind legs and curiously peering over at them.

"Wow, so cute!" Jiang Luoluo’s eyes immediately lit up.

Chu Mingcheng was quick to grab the two dogs, preventing them from rushing over and harassing the two little cuties.
