74. Food
"Hungry or not, what is there to eat?" Tan Xiao perked up, and his hand holding Ye Shu was also tight. People are like this, when they know that there is no way to live, they can look down on life and death, because they are desperate. But as long as there is hope, no one wants to die.
Ye Shu grinned, squeaked and whined for a long time before slowly saying, "Isn't there a big white snake up there, we can eat it." ”
"You said the snake?" Tan Xiao shook his body, his expression very unnatural.
"Yes, it's the snake, big enough. ”
Tan Xiao vomited, thinking about the snake was disgusting, let her eat it, it was really fatal.
Ye Shu patted Tan Xiao, although he was also disgusting, but he still pretended to be okay and persuaded him: "It's okay, they all say that the dragon meat in the sky is delicious, and we can't see the dragon, let alone eat it, but the snake is a little dragon, let's taste it the same, and I heard that southerners love to eat snake meat, and often cook snake soup, saying that if you eat snake meat, mosquitoes won't bite." ”
"But ......"
"It's okay, you don't have to go, you won't be disgusted if you don't look at it, you go to the wing room to take a bath, wash well, and when you're tired, go to the room and lie down on the bed for a while, I'll go up by myself, and I'll be back in a while." ”
"Oh well. Although Tan Xiao was reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to starve to death if he had something to eat, not to mention that she was not a hesitant person.
Ye Shu pushed Tan Xiao up the hall, climbed up himself, and took off the "lantern", and after teaching Tan Xiao how to mix water for the pool, he carried the "lantern" out of the courtyard gate. Although Tan Xiao also wanted to follow, Ye Shu said that he wouldn't take her with anything, eating ready-made food was not the same thing as eating it after watching the process, he was worried that Tan Xiao would really not be able to eat it after watching the process.
With the "lantern" to light the way, the pace was much faster, and Ye Shu quickly returned to the hemisphere square from the hole in the stone altar. It was still the same as when they left, not even a bird could fly in, and nothing else would destroy it, and the body of the great white snake was still lying quietly on the side.
Probably because of the lack of microorganisms here, although the wound on the snake's tail is shocking, it shows no signs of decay. Ye Shu pulled the snake to the side of the canal, this thing was terrifying to look at, always worried that it would suddenly bite himself, smashed the snake's head with a stone, solved the "big problem", and then picked a sharp stone from the gravel pile on the ground and "dissected" the big snake. The snakeskin was thick and hard, and Ye Shu struggled to peel off the snakeskin.
Smelling the bloody smell of snake blood and the earthy smell on the snake's body, Ye Shu remembered the snake of the "tumbler" again, as well as the scene in the basement of his house, thinking of those, Ye Shu couldn't stop retching. He wanted to vomit, but he couldn't, he had space in his stomach, and there was nothing that could make him vomit.
After vomiting for a while, Ye Shu finally adapted to the environment, and began to officially operate, disemboweling the snake, as for the internal organs, Ye Shu couldn't tell what was what, whether it was a snake gall or something or not, it was directly put aside, as long as he could eat snake meat.
The snake was too big, Ye Shu only cut a section, and it took a long time. After washing and washing in the water, until the snake meat was completely washed and the blood flowed out, Ye Shu broke a branch to string the snake meat, and then picked up a few thinner stone chips and grinded them on the stone altar, and only put them away when they were sharpened, he wanted to make a "snake meat sashimi" for Tan Xiao. Originally, I wanted to break two branches to make chopsticks, but I thought that the fruit of this tree was poisonous, and the branches could also be poisonous, so I picked up the branches and threw them away. Everything was ready, Ye Shu carried the "lantern" down the hole, hurry back and eat some, now he is hungry, and he can't wait.
When he returned to the courtyard, Tan Xiao was sitting at the door of the main house, with a coat on his body and wet hair.
"Are you back?" Seeing Ye Shu enter the courtyard, Tan Xiao greeted her, but when she saw the snake meat that Ye Shu was carrying, she stood on the other side, trying not to get too close.
Ye Shu smiled and deliberately lifted the snake meat in his hand, "What are you hiding from here, let's eat it in a while, I'll cut it." ”
Ye Shu moved the stone pot in the kitchen, took it to the pool and flushed it, the dirty water was poured directly from the bottom of the pool, and then used the stone pot to hold the water, and rinsed the wall of the pool.
Watching Ye Shu move the pot, washing and flushing, Tan Xiao was confused, "What are you doing, we can't make a fire?"
Ye Shu didn't speak, and after cleaning up, he removed the stone slab on the wall to block the hot water, and the hot water flowed into the stone trough, flowed into the pool, and then drained directly from the bottom of the pool to the underground dark river. Seeing that the heat at the bottom of the pool was getting stronger and stronger, Ye Shu touched the wall of the pool, he didn't dare to touch the water directly, he tried it when he first came in, and the water was extremely hot as soon as it was released, and now it seems that the water temperature is not 90 degrees but at least 85 degrees or more, it seems that the nearby geothermal heat is very rich, but I haven't heard that there is a hot spring here in my hometown.
Originally, Ye Shu also planned to eat snake meat with Tan Xiao, but when he came back, he saw Tan Xiao taking a bath and remembered that there was hot water available here around the clock, they were not savages, and they didn't want to live a life of drinking blood. At the same time, I also observed the water that flowed out, there was no peculiar smell in the water, indicating that the water did not contain toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, and the color of the water did not change after drying for a long time, indicating that the iron and manganese content in the water was not high, and the fingers were dipped in a little water and rubbed, and there was a slight lubrication, indicating that there were minerals in the water, and it was much better, but it was impossible to judge which category it belonged to.
When the temperature of the hot water flowing out no longer changed, Ye Shu put the snake meat on the wall of the pool, first divided a snake meat into five pieces, then picked out a piece and cut it into many small pieces, put it in the pot and put it in the pot, and finally went to pick up the hot water, intending to use this natural hot water to blanch the snake meat.
After the temperature of the water in the pot dropped for a while, he changed the water in the pot to ensure that the water temperature was hot enough to cook the snake meat. Of course, Ye Shu also knows that it is easier to blanch the meat by cutting it into thin slices, or eat it directly, but the conditions do not allow it, it is not easy to cut it into small pieces now, if you want to be smaller, you can only bite it with your teeth.
Pouring out the hot water in the pot, Ye Shu brought the stone pot to the hall of the main house, there are tables and chairs here, and it is just right to put the stone pot on the stone table.
Ye Shu was not too hot, took out a piece of meat from the pot and handed it directly to Tan Xiao's mouth.
Tan Xiao's lips were tightly closed, and her face was full of disgust, of course, she hated the meat, not the person who took the meat.
"Don't dare to eat it?" Ye Shu smiled, stuffed the meat into his mouth, swallowed the meat after chewing it a few times, and nodded, "Well, it's okay, it's cooked, this thing garlic clove meat, it's not bad, it's a little earthy, it's good to have seasonings, it's a pity, it's almost meaningful." ”
As he spoke, Ye Shu stuffed a few more pieces into his mouth, and when his mouth was full, he remembered to get another piece for Tan Xiao.
Tan Xiao devoured Ye Shu's food, and his stomach couldn't resist the temptation, so he took the meat in Ye Shu's hand nervously, and with a heartbeat, he stuffed the meat into his mouth, didn't even chew it, and swallowed it one by one.
"I said okay, I didn't lie to you. Ye Shu smiled, saw through it without saying anything, and picked another piece and handed it to Tan Xiao.
This time, Tan Xiao didn't answer, she directly opened her mouth and swallowed it, she swallowed a piece, Ye Shu fed a piece, and Ye Shu fed a piece, she swallowed a piece.
ate more than ten pieces in a row, Tan Xiao stopped eating, no matter how Ye Shu persuaded her, she only said that she was full, and Ye Shu fed it again, so she covered her mouth.
"No, I'm full. I'm a little sleepy, go and sleep in that room for a while, and you can rest for a while when you're done. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Shu to speak, Tan Xiao entered the bedroom room and quickly went to bed.
As soon as Tan Xiao left, the smile on Ye Shu's face disappeared all of a sudden, Tan Xiao was enduring it, he was also enduring it, his impression of the earthy smell was engraved in his bones, while Tan Xiao didn't look out, he ran to the toilet and vomited, just vomit, he didn't dare to be loud, for fear of being heard by Tan Xiao, how did he know that Tan Xiao was lying on the stone bed at this time, lying facing inward, covering his mouth with his hands, for fear of throwing it out.
I became numb when I spit and spit, and of course I got used to it. He knew that if the two wanted to go out, they had to rely on him, and he had to ensure his physical strength, and now his efforts were related to the fate of the two people. I vomited after eating, vomited and ate, anyway, there was enough meat, and Ye Shu gradually got used to it. Ye Shuqiang endured to eat the snake meat in the stone pot cleanly, of course, only half of it really entered his stomach, and the rest was ruined by him into the toilet, but in this way, he almost broke his belly after eating, and it is estimated that he will not feel hungry if he does not eat for two days.
Rinsing the stone pot and putting it back in the kitchen, Ye Shu brushed the pool again, he was afraid that Tan Xiao would not dare to take a bath if he disliked it. After cleaning up like this, Ye Shu put the water in the big pool, stripped naked and soaked in, he didn't sit on the stone, but sat directly at the bottom of the pool, leaned back, leaned his head on the stone, and lay down. How to enjoy it in the hot springs, he is clearer than anyone else. In order to maintain the constant temperature of the water, he also deliberately moved the stone slab to keep the water back, so that the hot water source was continuously replenished into the pool, and opened the plug of the drainage at the bottom of the pool a little, so that the heat in and out of the cold, so that there was a balance between the two.
"Ah...... Comfortable!"
Ye Shu groaned, he hadn't soaked in a hot spring for a long time, and now he actually soaked in the "original hot spring" in the mountain, no matter what he should not soak in the hot spring after a meal, who is comfortable who knows.
Too tired and tired, now that there is hope of escaping, and there is nothing else to worry about, Ye Shu can finally breathe a sigh of relief, close his eyes, and fall asleep after a while.
"Ahh
Ye Shu was sleeping comfortably, and he didn't even dream, when he was suddenly woken up by the screams in his ears.
Ye Shu wiped the water on his face, and saw Tan Xiao standing at the door with his eyes covered, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Why don't you wear clothes?" Tan Xiao shouted angrily, she fell asleep on the stone bed just now, and when she woke up, she thought that Ye Shu should be more tired, and came out to ask him to rest for a while, but she didn't expect Ye Shu to fall asleep in the pool, her body half floating and half sinking on the water, naked.
Ye Shu realized that he was not in a good position, sat up with a bone, covered his hands underneath, and saw Tan Xiao peeking at himself through the slit of his hand, Ye Shu snorted, "Who's still wearing clothes in the shower, besides, we are husband and wife, what's wrong with being honest? Come here, let's wash together for a while." So saying, he got up from the pool, and did not hide his hands.
"You are perverted......" Tan Xiao ran away.
"Can't cure you?" Ye Shu smiled evilly and picked up the clothes next to him and put them on, and this woman couldn't explain, so she could only use this hooligan method, otherwise she would be pinched. His clothes are very simple, just a pair of underwear, a "strip of cloth" with a belt, the others have been torn up when he was poisoned, and the only coat that is still complete is still draped on Tan Xiao's body, but even if Ye Shu is not covered now, she has no intention of returning it.
