Chapter 8: Sweet Potatoes
The next day, before dawn, Sangwa was woken up by a burst of pain in her stomach.
He was so hungry that his stomach hurt.
He touched the two red fruits in his arms, thought for a moment, and walked to many places.
In a daze, many people felt that someone was looking at her with heavy eyes, which made her feel depressed, and even the air became thinner.
Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, and woke up in anxiety, but saw a small figure standing in front of me, and many of them looked at it as her "golden father".
The person in front of her had clear eyes and looked at herself intently, as if the person she saw last night with a snarky eye was just an illusion.
Duoduo was taken aback, and hurriedly stayed five meters away from him: "Don't get too close to me and damage your longevity." ”
Sangwa's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't understand why she cared so much, but soon, he took out the two red fruits from his arms and asked, "This is possible?"
After speaking, as if responding to him, there was a "coo" cry from Sangwa's stomach.
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the red fruit in his hand. The temple was dimly lit, and it was impossible to see what he was doing, so many had to come closer.
At the same time, Sang Wa quietly moved her body back a little, and the expression on her face did not change. Many people only looked at the things in his hands, and did not notice his small movements.
The moonlight shone through the cracks in the tiles, and with the only few rays of light in the temple, Duoduo finally saw what he was doing, wasn't this a sweet potato?
Sang Wa looked at Duoduo expectantly, and Duoduo nodded, indicating that this thing could be eaten.
Sanwa's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to bite off a piece of sweet potato.
Many times he even bit the flesh of the belt, and the sweet potato seemed to be stained with a little soil, so he hurriedly stopped, "Hey, hey, this sweet potato has to be cooked......"
After thinking about it, she changed her tone and said, "This sweet potato has to be peeled and washed before it can be eaten, otherwise it will not be clean." ”
Sweet potatoes are easy to have stomach aches when eaten raw, not to mention the mud with the belt.
Hearing this, Sang Wa stopped chewing in her mouth, and only felt that this sweet potato was crispy and sweet, very delicious.
Sang Wa swallowed a mouthful of sweet potato and silently wiped the sweet potato on her clothes.
The corners of many eyes twitched, and he reminded again: "Sweet potatoes must be peeled and washed before eating." ”
Sangwa's hand kept moving, and she looked up and asked suspiciously, "Can't you eat the skin of this fruit?"
Duoduo thought seriously for two seconds: "Yes." ”
"Then why peel and wash it, isn't that a waste?" besides, there was almost no water in the vicinity, except by the stream, and he drank the dew from the leaves in the morning.
Thinking of the stream, Sang Wa's eyes were slightly dark, why bother.
Sangwa put the cleaned sweet potato into her mouth, and took two big bites with a "click".
There are many who were almost convinced: "Then you should at least wash it, eating mud is easy to get sick." ”
The corners of Sangwa's mouth showed a trace of disdain, sometimes, people are so hungry that as long as they can eat their stomachs, even people can eat them, let alone mud.
The person who is eaten will be unwilling, and after death, he will turn into a powerful ghost, and he will never be reincarnated, and he has seen more than one such ghost.
However, Sang Wa didn't say these words to many people, just pretended to be well-behaved "um", and then continued to nibble on the sweet potato in her hand.
When the day dawned, Sang Wa had already eaten the two big potatoes, and there was a feeling of fullness in her stomach that she hadn't seen for a long time.
Patting the dirt left behind when he wiped the sweet potatoes on his body, he prepared to dig two more sweet potatoes and come back.
As soon as he got up, Duoduo stopped him: "Are you going to dig sweet potatoes?"
Sang Wa nodded, only to see a lot of hesitation on his face, half curious and half distressed: "You...... What do you usually eat?"
You're so young, and you don't look like you have parents, how do you usually find food?
Sanwa's eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't know what she was doing with this question.
But the honest answer is, "Eat some wild fruits picked in the mountains." Seeing a look of surprise on his face, he smiled and said, "But now that I have sweet potatoes to eat, I found a small piece on the mountain!" There was some excitement in his tone.
Even if Duoduo was prepared in his heart, hearing him say this at this time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
No wonder I was so hungry every night, it turned out that I just ate some wild fruits every day.
Many people were depressed in their hearts, remembering the experience of planting sweet potatoes in the past, so they opened their mouths and advised, "When you dig that sweet potato, don't throw away the rattan, the rattan can be broken into a section and planted in the soil, and if you can live, you can grow a new one." After a pause, he thought that sweet potato leaves can also be eaten: "The leaves on the rattan can be eaten when cooked." ”
Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, and if he could grow more, he wouldn't have to go hungry so much.
Sang Wa was obviously stunned, her heart moved slightly, and her dark eyes were a little complicated.
She's ...... Helping him?
"Did you hear me?" he asked, a little stunned.
"Well, I heard you clearly. ”
Duoduo thought about it again, and added a sentence when he was finished: "The sweet potatoes should be washed before eating." ”
The corners of Sangwa's mouth hooked slightly: "Okay." "I don't know why she wants to help him, but it's not a bad thing for him.
That night, Sang Wa returned to the temple with a bunch of sweet potatoes and rattan, and he folded the rattan into small pieces and planted them in the backyard of the temple.
The land in the backyard is quite fertile, but there is no water to irrigate, and there are a lot of rattans.
In desperation, Sanwa still went to the stream, and used the broken crockpot picked up by the roadside to fill the water and water the rattan.
Mulberry gradually dug up the sweet potatoes from the mountain back to the temple, leaving only a few small ones for it to continue growing.
With the food reserves, Sang Wa doesn't have to go outside to forage for food for the time being, and she can listen to a lot of stories with the ghosts during the day.
Sangwa gets along with the ghosts quite well, except that Qingdou often uses his tongue to scare people, and it's nothing to get used to.
Duoduo often talks to him, but Sang Wa has not completely let down her guard, and she is not good at words, and she is a well-behaved and clever person on weekdays.
Many asked a lot, and he answered. In general, I know each other, but I am not familiar with it.
It's just that he often has to go to the stream to wash sweet potatoes, and many strict requirements require him to wash sweet potatoes before he can eat them.
Not only that, but once she thought he stinked and said that he was not allowed to come near her.
But she obviously never approached him, and she didn't even dare to approach with other ghosts, saying that it was a loss to his longevity.
Sangwa's young self-esteem was hit, and every once in a while, Sangwa would consciously take a few sweet potatoes to the stream and take a bath by the way.
