Is this hospitality?

Gao Li didn't understand much, and when he looked around, there were more than a dozen people around, because there were too many people, and the sweet fragrance around him was a little spicy. They hardly need to use any special means, and there is no need for that.

Well, go for it.

"Okay! then excuse me!" Gao Li smiled.

"Don't bother, don't bother! In our small village, it's rare to have guests come to visit. To tell you the truth, even if it is an order from Lord Jairus, we can't receive it at all because it's too far away, hahaha!" The child's father said, "Oh yes, my name is Zhu Daqiang, and the two little naughty bags you rescued are my two daughters, Liuliu and Lili." You two haven't thanked your benefactor yet!"

As soon as Zhu Daqiang stretched out his hand, his two arms stretched out to the elder, and he grabbed the heads of the two children and lifted them over.

"Thank you benefactor!" In front of her father, the little girl was very well-behaved.

"It's okay, it's just kids. Gao Li said with a smile.

This is a seaside fishing village, and the fishing boats on the shore look very special, they are almost all catamarans. Between the two fishing boats is a huge arch connected by the kind of black substance that can shade the sun. Of course, it is said that it is to shade the sun, but it is not that there is no light at all, and there are still sporadic sunlight shining in.

The fishermen fish between two boats, but it seems that their fishing activities are also quite dangerous, and if the sea splashes on them, they may be in trouble.

Gao Li also took this opportunity to carefully observe these Blood Shadow Figures.

The facial features of the Blood Shadow Men are actually very blurry, they don't need to breathe, and the cracks in their mouths can only be seen when they speak, only the position of their eyes flashes red. And like a blink of an eye, flashing and flashing. As a creature made of blood, Gao Li didn't quite understand what they were made of. Is it a bit too risky to choose blood, a substance that is not easy to preserve and easy to escape? Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the Blood Shadow Man to evolve by himself, because it is impossible for any natural evolution to choose such a form that fears nature.

The Blood Shadow Figures were dressed in what appeared to be made of fish skin, and looked very flexible, waterproof and light-blocking. Boots and pants are made in one and seem to be waterproof to the maximum.

Gao Li was observing them, and they were also observing Gao Li and Ling Long. From time to time, someone in the crowd whispered:

"It's funny to hear that their shells are complicated, and they hide in a very thin tube that flows back and forth. ”

"You know what? I've heard that this shell itself is alive, they feed this body, and this body protects them from death. ”

"You two are simply unskilled, my friend said, the shell human body is a symbiosis of several different creatures!"

Gao Li's ears are also smart, and he can hear clearly. This means one thing, these Blood Shadow people are not completely closed natives, they have some knowledge of the outside world, although they don't know where this knowledge comes from. However, this dispelled one of Gao Li's biggest concerns - these Blood Shadow People were not barbarians.

To be honest, as soon as the two children spoke, Gao Li basically felt a lot more relieved. Originally, Gao Li was most worried about a creature like an alien, there was no civilization, no culture, and the purpose of birth was to reproduce. And as long as there is its own civilization, it will be easy to do.

From the way they spoke, it could be seen that the Blood Shadow People were also influenced by ancient culture. I don't know if this influence comes from Jairus or the ancients who were summoned by the tyrant, but the common language will make the two sides naturally close.

While chatting, the crowd left the beach and came to the meadow. The ground here is a pure black grass that completely covers the ground like a carpet. When the Blood Shadow people came to the grass, they immediately relaxed, and they took off their clothes and shoes one after another, and walked naked inside. And when their bodies step on that kind of black grass, they will gradually glow red.

Seeing their images, Gao Li was almost certain of one thing, the Blood Shadow People must not be a race that reproduces both sexes. Because those who look like women are in average shape, and those who look like men are also missing something.

Also, how can they be sexually reproductive, they are about the blood they are made of?

When everyone came to the grass and saw that Gao Li and Ling Long were still in their original appearance, Zhu Daqiang smiled and said: "The two guests don't have to be restrained, when they get to our own place, let's give up this shell and reveal our body, our village is our own people." ”

Gao Li grinned bitterly and said: "Brother, you are embarrassing us, our body is different from yours, and the shell you are talking about is our body." As an old brother said before, our bodies are composed of different organs, and we are all dead without whichever one we leave. ”

Zhu Daqiang's face with blurred facial features was full of surprise: "Your body, is it so fragile?"

Fragile ?us?

But come to think of it, the Blood Shadow people are afraid of the sun and the sea. But what about a shell man like Gao Li? He is afraid of almost everything, afraid of stones, afraid of knives, afraid of all physical damage, afraid of high temperatures, afraid of sickness. Any organ of the body has its own fearful part, and once damaged, the whole body suffers.

"yes, it's a little fragile. Gao Li said.

Zhu Daqiang sighed, patted Gao Li's shoulder, and said, "Brother, it's not easy for you." ”

Gao Li said: "Yes, yes, it's not easy." ”

What else can I say about this, it's not easy anyway.

"Then, otherwise, you take off your shoes? This is a blood-tonifying herb under our feet, which can keep us healthy at all times. Zhu Daqiang said.

Only then did Gao Li notice that these blood shadow people stepped on the grass, and instead of stepping on the grass to the ground, the tips of the grass pierced the soles of their feet, and the grass seemed to be hollow, and it was actually circulating with the blood that made up their bodies!

Gao Li waved his hand again and again and said, "We don't have this ability, so we don't need it." ”

The surrounding blood shadow people were all amazed, and Gao Lixin said, are you guys weird.

The buildings in the seaside village are all round like a bird's nest, and they are also woven of a black substance. If you look closely, it looks like some kind of thick rattan. Gao Li noticed that all the plants here were black. The texture doesn't look like metal, and I don't know what kind of material it is. In this village, Gao Li saw a huge tree, about tens of meters thick, with a crown like an umbrella, spreading out and connecting with the shelter in the sky. Only then did Gao Li know that it was this kind of pitch-black tree that blocked the sunlight in the sky. These books are everywhere, one at intervals, but they are not resistant to seawater, so there is no place near the sea.

"Benefactor, please come in! you, we're here!" Zhu Daqiang shouted.

A woman with a blood shadow came out of the house, with a slender figure, but unfortunately her figure was not very attractive.

"Huh, these two guests ......," the woman wondered.

"These two came to us from afar, and as soon as they came here, they just caught up with you two naughty eggs to drive a small boat to the open sea, and then they were rescued by these two benefactors. Zhu Daqiang explained.

"It turned out to be a benefactor!" the woman's attitude immediately changed, and she moved out of the door, "Quick, benefactor, please come in!

There was no lighting in the room, and it was very dark, but because everyone here could glow, it didn't matter. Gao Li's eyesight is not bad, and he doesn't particularly care. As for Ling Long, she could see it clearly with her eyes closed. So, everything is fine.

Everything in the room is made of black wood, as expected.

Not long after the hostess left, she brought back two large wooden cups, and the water in them smelled fragrantly.

"I don't know if you're used to eating our food, but please try it somewhat......" said the hostess of the house, a little nervously.

Gao Li thought that there would be big fish and big meat, but if there was no fish, what would you do when you went out to sea to fish?

However, in line with the local customs, Gao Li picked up the cup and tasted it a little.

"It's so sweet!" Gao Li was very surprised, this sweetness was very authentic, and it didn't seem to be a sweetener at all. There's even a little sticky lip at the mouth of the cup, and sure enough, it's sugar!

"How's that, can you get used to eating?" Zhu Daqiang and Liuliu Lili both looked at Gao Li.

"This is also quite delicious for us. Gao Li said with a smile. This sweet smell can be sold for a good price even if it is slightly diluted.

"Ah! That's great! We're worried that the two benefactors won't be able to get used to our food! Our seaside is not very rich, and we can only make this kind of crude food from the fish we have caught, and it's really good that you don't dislike it!" Zhu Daqiang said with a very honest smile.

"This is, made of fish, can fish be made into something that tastes like this?" Gao Li was a little surprised.

"Yes, there is only one way to eat fish, otherwise?" Zhu Daqiang asked rhetorically.

"For example, frying, roasting, steaming, simmering, ......," Gao Li suggested some cooking techniques.

"I haven't heard of it, if it is not made into water, how can I eat it?" Zhu Daqiang looked at her daughter-in-law, who also shook his head.

Gao Li realized that the body of the Blood Shadow Man was completely liquid, and it was all blood, that is, there was only one thing they really needed!

Sugar!

No, blood is hemoglobin, and protein and iron must be in it anyway.

Oh! Oh yes, those grasses, those grasses are circulating all the time, and the grass may always renew the red blood cells for these Blood Shadow Figures!

In other words, the Blood Shadow Men have reached a symbiotic relationship with the world they live in!

Gao Li asked, "Can I know how you make food?"

Zhu Daqiang said: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm also interested in the food preparation methods you said, can the benefactor show me?"

Gao Li said: "What's so difficult about this?"

Zhu Daqiang's house does not have a special stove, only a hut, and the hostess slaughters and cleans the fish, and then throws it into a large vat. Then she held out a hand, which turned into a bucket lid and covered the bucket. Then, in Gao Li's eyes, the concentration of true qi in the bucket increased rapidly, and there was a gurgling sound from the barrel. In other words, this housewife of the Blood Shadow Man is using her martial arts cultivation to make barrel fish for Gao Li.

After a while, the true qi gradually subsided, the housewife's hand changed back to its original state, and a sweet smell permeated the barrel. Gao Li leaned over and saw that there were no more fish in the bucket, only some slightly cloudy liquid.

"Let this sit for a while, and after the water is clear, you can eat it. Zhu Daqiang said.

In that short period of time just now, this housewife used her martial arts cultivation in front of Gao Li to turn all the protein and fat in this fish's body into sugar!

Gluconeogenesis is not uncommon in the human body, and this reaction occurs constantly in the body when people are hungry. And this is the favorite reaction of all people who lose weight. And now, in front of Gao Li, this person has forcibly turned both protein and fat into sugar.

What a.

In the world of the previous life, you could win several Nobel Prizes in minutes.

This pretty much explains where the aroma comes from.

There are only carbons, hydrogen and oxygen in glucose, and other elements such as excess nitrogen become the flavor substances in the drink. Gao Li also suddenly understood, why the people in this village have a sweet and greasy fragrance, because this is the taste obtained from their food, these blood shadow people, about all the time in a state of high blood sugar.

Subsequently, Gao Li also showed them his fish grilling skills.

As a fire worshipper, controlling the temperature is commonplace. However, when Gao Li's palm caught fire, Zhu Daqiang took a few steps back in fear, and his woman hid Liuliu and Lili behind him.

"You guys, what's wrong?" Gao Li asked.

Zhu Daqiang said nervously: "Benefactor, can you not use fire, we are afraid of fire." ”

Afraid of fire?

Your body is made of blood, so there's no reason to be afraid of fire. What's more, how did you name your daughter Ruri if you are afraid of fire?

So Gao Li just warmed the fish and cooked it like a microwave. Then he said, "Then you can eat it." ”

Zhu Daqiang's family couldn't understand it at all, and asked, "This can be eaten?"

Gao Li said: "Yes, you can eat it." ”

As he spoke, Gao Li pinched a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth, there was no salt, but the taste was okay.

"However, this fish, this ......" Zhu Daqiang couldn't understand what was going on at all, and he couldn't understand why Gao Li was eating like this.

So Gao Li explained: "You see, when the fish is eaten into the stomach and into the intestines, the digestive system will turn the fish into nutrients, and these nutrients will be transported into the bloodstream, and then transmitted to all parts of the body, nourishing the whole body. ”

When Zhu Daqiang heard this, he couldn't understand it at all: "But why didn't you just make it like this in the first place? What's more, the blood actually has to send nutrients to the whole body? Give it to others? This is too pitiful, isn't it?"
