Chapter 17: Eating Bugs
When everyone got into the car, I hurriedly took a glass of water with a giant thermos cup bought from the store, although the black bone spirit was impatient, probably because he mistook me for the sake of a woman with cold wood, so he didn't get angry, he was very short, and he had to occupy the last row of the car, and lay down to sleep.
Lu Laojiu was the driver, and the car drove for about seven or eight hours, and the fat uncle said: "It's almost time to Yunnan." ”
I don't know where they're going, the road ahead is very winding, and it's all high mountains and mountains, and it's full of dangers, "There are so many mountains here?" ”
The fat uncle smiled: "Yunnan is deep in the mountains and old forests. ”
Han Ye opened his eyes, "You and Lu Laojiu will change shifts in a while, it's even more difficult to walk on the road in the mountains, he is driving, we don't have to worry." ”
"Yes."
Lu Laojiu was so sleepy that he couldn't do it, and he didn't care about opposition, so he strongly asked for a shift change, and fell asleep in the deputy seat.
The further we went, the more ever-changing the scenery around us, and sure enough, we entered the mountains, and those houses were the kind I saw on TV, generally earthen houses, and the slightly better ones were tiled houses, but they were very rare, "This is a mountainous area, right?" ”
Han Ye nodded, "En." ”
When we arrived, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, fortunately it was not night, otherwise it was dark and high, and I don't know if it would go down this way, their means of transportation are small tricycles, this road is full of potholes, we really can't drive down, the fat uncle had to find a place to park.
Now the biggest problem is to find a place to stay, I whispered next to Han Ye and said: "This house is so small, I don't think they are enough to live in, there are so many of us, do people let us live?" ”
"There's a hotel here."
"Are you kidding?"
"Yes."
I was surprised when I saw them, but I was the only one who made a fuss, thinking that they had probably been here, and I kept my mouth shut when I saw that they were familiar with the road.
The fat uncle went to find a place to park, I followed the team, and finally found a so-called hotel, which is actually a bungalow made of bricks and earth, but it is a little bigger, and their clothes are similar to what we are wearing, I thought they would wear skirts or hair or something, and the girl sitting in the yard saw us coming and stood up, "Housing?" ”
"Yes, we need three rooms."
She smiled, "There are three best upper class rooms here, four medium rooms, but two have been occupied by other guests, and there are three lower class rooms, I don't know what room you want to stay in." ”
I heard that tourist attractions are very ridiculous, so I looked at the little girl and asked, "What kind of room is the inferior room?" How much? ”
She pointed to the thatched hut in front of her, "Ten pieces a room." ”
Han Ye glanced at me, as if to say that he would be embarrassed for us, and turned his head to the little girl and said, "Come to the three first-class rooms." ”
Lu Laojiu immediately grabbed Han Ye, it goes without saying that I am in a room with Leng Mu, but Uncle Fat has to share a room with that eventful dwarf, I can only give him a sympathetic look and follow the little girl to our room.
Before leaving, the little girl said to us, "It's best not to go out at night if you hear any noise, if something happens, the store will not be responsible." ”
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and I was six years older than her, and finally found an advantage, and asked with a smile, "Little sister, why can't you go out?" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, "Pay the money first!" ”
"How much." I asked.
"Fifty."
I took out the red ticket that Uncle Fat gave me, but in fact, I didn't have any money, so I had five, "No need to look for it." ”
She took the money and eased her expression, "We are very close to the forbidden mountain in front, it used to be a battlefield, and the souls of the dead in vain wandered around here every night, it is said that there is a thunderstorm today, and there will be some strange sounds every time this weather comes, that is, some swords and irons are striking, clanging sounds, and only the sound can be heard, and no one can be seen, the older generation of people say that this is a battle between Yin soldiers." ”
"Hahaha." I laughed when I heard it, I had never seen a young person who was still superstitious.
On the contrary, Leng Mutou listened very carefully, she probably expected that I didn't believe it, and she didn't bother to explain, "Do you believe it or not, there are many people who die here because of curiosity, so I advise you not to go out." With that, he went out.
My face was ugly at the time, not scared, but really a big sister of mine, who was actually trained by a little girl, and her face was very unbearable, and it was really hard to believe that such words came out of a little girl's mouth.
Everyone has been bumpy in the car for a day, already tired and exhausted, when I want to take a bath, I am going to ask her where to take a bath, she was holding a child, the child is crying and crying, she also ignored me, pointed to the iron basin next to it, I asked: "Is this child your brother?" It was lovely. ”
The childish voice looked like a little adult, "This is my son." ”
I don't think she's fully developed, this scene is very funny,
"Your son? How old are you? ”
"Sixteen."
Early marriage? I've seen these words in books before, and I'm not surprised, "But how do you take a bath in this iron basin?" ”
She handed the child to a man and used an iron kettle to get some warm water, "Just go to your room and wipe it with a towel." ”
"How can this be cleaned?" I was just about to continue complaining, but Han Ye and the others were ordering food on the table and said to me: "Wei Wei, let's go down, it's all washed like this here." ”
I reluctantly carried the iron basin into the house, the cold wood was still sitting on the kang, I put the basin on the ground, "I want to take a bath, or you go outside and order food with the fat uncle." ”
He went straight out.
However, this was only the beginning, and this was only the beginning of my dissatisfaction, and I said to the bugs on the plate, "This is the dish? ”
"This is also a characteristic of Yunnan, it looks disgusting, it tastes very fragrant, I don't believe you can taste it." The fat uncle said that he wanted to clip it with me, and I immediately covered my rice bowl, "I don't want it!" ”
Lu Laojiu thought that he knew women best, and saw that I disliked insects and disgusting, so he took money and said: "There are many insects in Yunnan, don't look at these insects, they are expensive, eat them!" ”
I was angry, "I'm not a chicken, so I don't need to eat bugs." ”
Lu Laojiu put down his chopsticks, "Why are you so picky,!" ”
The fat uncle said, "Take this and a plate of green vegetables, let's make do with it, and I'll give you another dish." ”
When I finally saw someone eating, I nodded, grabbed a few chopsticks and put them in the bowl, "Thank you, Uncle Fat." He devoured it.
"What about that little man, why didn't he come out to eat."
"He's going to find someone from the residents, and tomorrow someone will take us up the mountain."
