"I said you're done washing, aren't you?" came Liu Shaoshan's voice outside the bathroom.

Yang Meng shook his head: "Morning, I'm going to drown in the bathtub today! Do you think it's easy for me over there? You didn't see me come back? I'm even more embarrassed than a beggar!"

Liu Shaoshan pouted and said, "Come on, come out quickly! It's been soaked for an hour! The barber is waiting for you!"

"It's really troublesome!" Yang Meng came out of the bathtub to dry his body and change into new clothes, the barber in the hotel had been waiting for a long time, and Yang Meng, who had changed into new clothes and a new haircut, was like a different person. It's not like the one who fled from the airport anymore.

After the barber left, Yang Meng pointed to the backpack on the side and said to Liu Shaoshan: "That's for you." ”

"What is it?" Liu Shaoshan asked his guards to get the backpack, which contained individual communication equipment in addition to Yang Meng's pistol.

"Portable Harrisrf-5058. Standard for the Stars and Stripes Army. There is also an AN/PVS-14 night vision device. It was all given to me by the mercenaries on my way back, so you can take it back and study if it can be used. Yang Meng said.

Liu Shaoshan's eyes widened: "You have a direct conflict with them?"

Yang Meng shrugged and said: "The conflict is a fart, you can buy it directly on the black market, 12,000 US dollars a piece, good quality and low price." When you get there, only you can't think of it, there's nothing you can't buy. Liu Pianpian sent you back with all the beard and tail, is she okay?"

Liu Shaoshan handed Yang Meng a cigarette: "I know it's useless to say thank you, but I'll still say thank you." Liu Pianpian just did a full body test to check all her health, well, it's just a little too edible. I'm desperately eating over there now. ”

Yang Meng pouted and said, "Hmm, don't you smoke? What do you think he eats during this time? Snakes, scorpions, locusts, those are all delicious." In the beginning, I once caught a rabbit and said to me, 'How can a little rabbit eat it?' This time, I can bring not only your daughter back, but also a granddaughter for you. ”

After hearing this, Liu Shaoshan was silent for a while and said: "I know about her brother, the child has suffered! This child's surname will be Liu in the future, and she will be my family's own granddaughter, the kind who enters the family tree! Our Lao Liu family is responsible for doing things!" After he finished speaking, he picked up a cigarette and lit it: "I was a little worried after you went to Irakka, so I smoked a cigarette occasionally." You've suffered this time too!"

"What are you worried about? It's not that I don't want to contact you! Besides, what am I suffering from? I'm happy to have food and drink!" Yang Meng said.

He is really not polite, how many times has Liu Pianpian been hungry to death, Yang Meng secretly eats fragrant and drinks spicy food, can he let himself suffer?

But Liu Shaoshan didn't know this: "Pian Pian told me that you took more care of her this time." Did she really even eat locusts?"

"Of course! Even the spiny-tailed flying lizards can eat it. More Middle Easterners than Middle Easterners!" Yang Meng gave a thumbs up: "The locust plague just finished over there, and I really don't worry about these things." ”

In the past few years, many people know about the locust plague in the Middle East, and there are still countless foodies in China who sigh one after another: Why don't you come to Hanguo?

People who say this are basically ignorant.

Including watching some crossings, as long as there is any disaster relief, there will definitely be protagonists who eat, lead people to eat locusts, and even make a fortune, so as to show that the protagonist is smart and wise, and has made contributions through the past and the present.

In fact, by eating locusts to cure locusts, cough cough, the idea is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

In fact, the ancients have always eaten locusts, but it is really useless when facing locust plagues. The locust plague is overwhelming, and when you finish eating, you catch some locusts and prepare to eat, and the people have already eaten the food and fly away.

The real plague of locusts can be described as 'overwhelming'. Yang Meng They watched it once in the Middle East, and the whole day was black.

It's good not to eat yourself!

In fact, before the advent of pesticides, locust plagues were difficult to treat, and even with insecticides, locusts were difficult to control, and in fact locust plagues occur every year in the Middle East. In the book of Exodus, the Bible, there is a record of locust plagues.

So do Middle Eastern people eat locusts? Some people have said that their religious beliefs are there, so how can they eat locusts?

In fact, their history of eating locusts is much older. Locusts, grasshoppers, crickets, and the like are all clean foods that are edible. It's a great way to replenish protein in the desert.

Not only do they eat it themselves, but they also feed the camels, crush the dried locusts, mix them with milk and flour, and fry them with salt, which is a local delicacy. When it comes to Ramadan, many people rely on eating locusts to replenish their energy.

Westerners say that Han people eat locusts all day long, but in fact, the Middle East eats more, and locusts in Han are very expensive, and not everyone can afford to eat them. And there's really no shortage of this stuff over there, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they eat it every day. However, they selectively ignore the West for the sake of oil, and their media never mention the fact that Middle Easterners eat locusts。。。。。。

And in addition to this, there is also a delicacy in the Middle East, which is the spiny-tailed flying lizard.

It is a large lizard that lives in the desert, one is as long as an arm, and because it eats young leaf plants, it is also a 'clean' food. When there are no locusts in a drought, then eat lizards, which is the third largest source of meat in the region after cattle and sheep. Call it 'Fish of the Desert' and it's one of the most popular delicacies!

The way the locals eat it is very surprising, after washing the lizard, take out the internal organs, peel off the skin, remove the head and limbs, cut into small pieces, add spices, onions, and put it in the pot to fry, if you catch the female lizard with lizard eggs, it is even more delicious, directly make soup.

Of course, this is not the favorite way of eating for the locals, what is the favorite way for those nomads?

Raw!

Yang Meng The lizards they caught were neither as delicate as them, nor did they eat them raw, they were just roasted and sprinkled with a little salt.

Liu Pianpian didn't dislike it, so it can be seen how hungry she was at that time.

"Well, I don't think she's going to run around after this. Yang Meng smiled: "She should learn what responsibility is." Well, I guess it's time for me to say goodbye too!"

"Farewell?" Liu Shaoshan asked puzzled.

Yang Meng nodded: "I'm just here to take a shower and get a haircut." It's time for me to go home! My sister is going to take the college entrance exam, and I don't want to miss such an important time. Also, I did what I promised you, but what about what you promised me?"

"Don't worry, I'm done! no one will beat you with those antique ideas anymore. "Willow Shake Mountain Road.

Yang Meng said after hearing this: "Okay, our deal is complete, don't look for me again in the future." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Liu Shaoshan, puzzled.

Yang Meng shrugged: "That's the literal meaning." I'm going out this time and I'm going to regret the most in my life! Because you and my hands are covered with blood! Maybe it's a common thing for you, but don't tell me about it! I want to forget everything that happened now. I'm just a normal person, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing anymore. So I said, from today onwards, I have nothing to do with you, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge. ”

Liu Shaoshan still wanted to speak, but Yang Meng waved his hand: "You are great, your family is great." But you can't expect everyone to be as great as you are. As a last resort, you sent your second son over, and I helped him heal his eye. And then you just let me go. Let's just don't know each other. ”

"You're too paranoid, aren't you?" said Liu Shaoshan.

"Paranoid?" Yang Meng pointed around: "This is the life I should live! Do you know how much I want the service of a five-star hotel in the desert? I am a rich man now, but I have to eat sand in the desert, that is not the life I should live, this is it! Otherwise, what am I going to do with my money? Although I don't know what I want to live in life, what is certain is that this kind of murderous life is definitely not what I want!"

Liu Shaoshan was silent for a long time: "I really owe you a big favor this time." ”

Yang Meng shook his head: "I really don't need the favor you owe me." I'm just an ordinary person, and when I go back, I'll live a retired life?"

"Retirement?" Liu Shaoshan suspected that he had misheard.

Yang Meng nodded: "Yes, raise flowers, raise fish, and make a little money." When I'm idle and bored, I go to deliver a takeaway, run a substitute driver, and chat with people. Well. Otherwise, I would buy a house, buy 30 units at a time, rent them all out, and go to one house every day to collect rent, so that I will be busy for 30 days a month, and I will rest for one day. That's nice, right?"

Liu Shaoshan: "What about Xiaoyue and February?"

“。。。。。。。 Don't interrupt other people's dreams!" Yang Meng said.

Liu Shaoshan raised his voice: "This is your dream?"

Yang Meng smiled: "Didn't you listen to what I just said? Actually, I don't even know what I want, let alone me, 99.99% of people in this society don't know what they want." The vast majority of people will answer: money. But how do they make money, how do they spend it, how do they maintain their wealth? And then someone will go astray. I'm different, I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want. I don't want to live a life where I can't eat, so I work, and I don't want a life with blood on my hands, so I avoid you. Do you know what Alyosha thought when he was shot in half with Barrett in front of me? I wanted to tear Liu Pian Pian in half!"

Speaking of this, Yang Meng sank his face: "Everyone has a demon in their body, I always thought that I was a kind person, but when I went out, I found that I had already become numb and my hands were covered with blood." I don't want to be a real demon. Bring your son here, it's the last thing I'll do for you. ”
