The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Part 21)
Big Cat didn't admit it, but Song Ning believed that it was an undeniable fact that Big Cat didn't need to admit it.
Even if the big cat doesn't admit it, it won't affect Song Ning's good mood, but right now he obviously has more important things to do.
"Let's get something to eat first, and then hurry up and put up the soundproofing mat."
The temperature dropped faster than Song Ning had imagined. He didn't know exactly how much it had dropped, but judging from the current sensation, it was at least minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, or even lower.
"Although it's very cold, life still goes on."
Song Ning added another piece of coal to the large iron pot and moved the water bucket that was originally next to the stove inside.
He was glad he had moved it quickly enough, because it was obvious that a lot of the water in the bucket had already frozen.
Having found a spot that was neither too close nor too far from the fire, just enough to keep the water in the bucket from freezing, Song Ning was about to set up the soundproofing mat when the big cat came out from outside carrying a prey.
Song Ning glanced at it subconsciously and saw that it was a rabbit that had just died.
"There are rabbits around here?"
He looked delighted; rabbits were a wonderful thing.
Rabbit fur can be used to make warm clothing and even gloves. Rabbit meat can be eaten. Rabbits are also easy to raise and reproduce quickly, making them a very good species for farming.
"When we have the means, we'll catch a few rabbits to raise, and then we won't have to worry about food."
Not only can you eat meat, but you can also solve the problem of keeping warm in winter. If you have the means, spicy rabbit heads and spicy rabbit cubes are delicious.
Song Ning's mouth was watering just thinking about it. He took the opportunity to ask the big cat if it had eaten yet. After confirming that the big cat was feeding him, he began to skin and butcher the cat.
He quickly processed the rabbit skin and set it aside, planning to tan it later when he had time. After the apocalypse, he had learned many skills that he didn't know before.
The whole rabbit, after removing the skin and internal organs, weighed about two pounds, making it a very plump rabbit. Song Ning didn't have much time right now, so after simply marinating it with salt, she made a simple barbecue grill and put it on the fire pit to slowly roast it. She would just come and check on it when she had time.
He drank some water, took a deep breath, and started working.
There are only a few rolls of soundproofing mats, which isn't a lot, but the good news is that their room isn't very big either, so it should be more than enough to cover all of them.
Despite the continuous wind and snow outside, Song Ning was so busy that she broke out in a sweat.
Doing all this was a bit more troublesome than he had imagined, but fortunately, after circling around him a few times, the big cat guessed his intentions and helped him as much as it could.
But by the time he finally finished installing all the soundproofing pads and the temperature inside the tin shack had noticeably changed, Song Ning's clothes were already soaked with sweat.
"That was a mistake. We should have stayed up all night to finish it."
After finishing his work, Song Ning plopped down on the ground and let out a long sigh. Before he could even say a few more words, he got up again to find a towel to wipe his sweat. He also took off his sweaty undergarments and threw them aside, planning to wash them quickly with hot water and dry them before putting them back on.
As Black Panther listened to his lament, a sense of irritation rose within him.
If only he were human, he could help with all the things humans are doing now, and humans wouldn't have to work so hard.
The moment this thought arose, the humans in front of them stood beside the fire and began to take off their clothes.
The beautiful vertical pupils suddenly narrowed to slits, and a low growl came from the black panther's throat.
Song Ning turned around after changing her clothes, assuming that the big cat was also feeling comfortable because the soundproofing pad had made it warmer, and couldn't help but take credit.
"Although it took a lot of time and effort to make this, the results are really great, right, Leopard Bro?"
He could clearly feel that things were different from before. He hadn't completely sealed off the small window, since it was still necessary to keep the air circulating while burning charcoal indoors.
However, he specially made a vent-like opening for the window using a piece of plastic water pipe he had found before, and he also made a 'curtain' out of the original iron door using a whole piece of padding. When it is lowered, it can block a lot of the cold air at the door.
The temperature inside the house is noticeably warmer now, and it's quite comfortable as long as you're careful.
Not only that, but what Song Ning was even more looking forward to was that the rabbit that had been roasting next to him was already cooked. He placed it a little away from the fire pit and slowly roasted it on a stick. It was golden in color and was emitting a fragrant aroma.
The first thing Song Ning did after changing his clothes was to plop down next to the brazier and begin to enjoy his first formal meal of the day.
The roasted rabbit tasted much better than Song Ning had imagined. Although it was only seasoned with a little salt, Song Ning didn't forget this precious food at all while she was busy, and kept turning it over.
He might not have been able to bake this well before the apocalypse, but he has indeed learned a lot more since then.
"Brother Leopard, would you like some to eat with me?"
Song Ning didn't put the first piece of leg meat she tore off into her own mouth; instead, she handed it to the big cat.
"This seasoning only has a little salt in it, you should be able to taste it, right?"
Before the apocalypse, people always said that it was bad for pets to eat too much salt, but he felt that things were different now than before. Back then, it was so easy for everyone to ingest salt, including pets.
Things are different now. For example, Brother Leopard even stockpiled salt in his house, right? It's obviously for replenishing his salt intake, so eating some salty cooked food shouldn't be a problem for him.
At this moment, the black panther sat upright to the side, not even wagging its tail. Its face was serious as if it was thinking about something very important. It seemed to glance at Song Ning from time to time, but then it didn't. Its gaze was very subtle and hard to discern.
Song Ning fed the meat to the big cat, and it didn't refuse. It opened its mouth slightly and chewed up the meat and bones together in no time before swallowing it.
Seeing the big cat eat, Song Ning felt inexplicably happy and finally couldn't resist taking a bite herself.
His barbecue skills were indeed excellent. The rabbit skin was roasted to a golden brown and crispy, while the meat inside was firm and chewy. One bite revealed the rabbit to be juicy and robust, which explained why it was chosen by the big cat for hunting.
Song Ning placed the kettle on the brazier to heat it, slowly eating the roasted rabbit with the hot water. As dusk approached, he promptly turned on the radio to enjoy his rare moment of leisure.
