Chapter 494: Purple Sweet Potato
The way the man arched out from under the meadow, Xu Ning almost couldn't help laughing, I don't know if it was intentional, he supported the ground with both hands, and first arched the fat gluteal muscles and lower back, which looked wider than a tabletop. Then the upper body stood up, and the height of the body was amazing, as high as the edge of the small pavilion.
With a mace in his hand, he looked at Xu Ning outside with a frightened expression, and Xu Ning almost screamed when he looked at him!
Hercules! That big black guy!
"What are you kid doing here?!"
Xu Ning said in surprise, not nervous at all, but felt that this fool was a little funny.
"I, I'm sleeping here!"
"Sleeping here? Don't you have your own mountain, why don't you continue to be a bandit! ”
Hercules scratched his head and asked, "What is a bandit?" ”
Xu Ning was a little speechless, this question should be best known to him. I've been a bandit for so long, and I still don't know what a bandit is, are you kidding me?
"It is to wait on the mountain every day, and when you see someone on the road, you rush down to rob the money and kill the person, which is called a bandit." Xu Ning explained patiently.
"Oh, this is a bandit! Then I'm not a bandit, because I never rob money, only dry food, and I can't eat money, so what do you want it for! Hercules replied with a straight face.
"Isn't it! You've never robbed money, robbed gold coins?
"I don't want that thing, every time Zhongcheng and his brother ask for it, I just need dry food, and meat is the best." Hercules flowed a snort.
"Don't play dumb on me, boy. Don't you ever kill anyone? I don't believe it! ”
"Of course I killed, hehe, once a guy on a horse pulled a lot of carts behind him, I obviously saw a roast chicken hidden in his arms, but he didn't give it to me, hum, Lao Tzu smashed his brain into his stomach when he was angry." Hercules said proudly.
"And then?" Xu Ning was a little embarrassed.
"The roast chicken is fragrant! Especially the chicken thighs, oops, they will flow oil when you eat them, I can't say it. I can't hold back my saliva......" Hercules said, raising his dirty sleeve and wiping his mouth.
Xu Ning was thundered. The most powerful ever to be thundered. If the guy who was killed knew that he had lost his life for a roast chicken, he would definitely crawl out of the coffin in anger and play with Hercules.
"Every time you kill someone, it's to grab something to eat?"
"yes!"
"Then why are you hiding here, and how are you going to rob it if you don't go back?"
"The place where I live has been burned down. Zhong Cheng and they returned to Hungry Tiger Ridge. Let me take my brothers with them. promised me that I would have meat to eat every day, and by the way, he said that he would marry me a daughter-in-law! But. Before you can eat a meal, you kill it. Hercules subconsciously took a step back.
So he's so afraid of me! Xu Ning couldn't help but smile.
This kid is simple-minded and has well-developed limbs, if someone had educated him well since he was a child, he might not end up where he is now. It's a pity that there is no one to guide him, and it is a miracle that he can live until now.
Such a person has a tendon, and after tasting the sweetness of a thing, he will persevere and wait for the next opportunity, which is very similar to the kind of person who waits for the rabbit. If Zhong Cheng found him first, the result can be imagined, Xu Ning guessed that after Zhong Cheng and the others were whitewashed, he might continue to rob and kill people behind his back, and he was just to eat meat.
"And what are your plans now?" Xu Ning relaxed his guard and said.
Hercules patted his stomach and said, "I slept in a haystack, trying to attract a tiger or a leopard or something, and then catch it and roast it and eat it, but the beasts in the vicinity are hiding, and the rabbit is running too fast for me to catch up." It's uncomfortable, and you're here. ”
"Feelings, you are hiding in the grass to use yourself as bait!" Xu Ning was surprised and didn't know what to say.
"Isn't that so?" Hercules scratched his head and said, at this time, his stomach seemed to be thundering, rumbling straight ahead. It seemed that he was really hungry, and inadvertently, Xu Ning saw cold sweat on his black head.
"I brought something to eat, you can pad it first."
Xu Ning untied his luggage and took out a large bag of beef jerky and two flatbreads from it, which was Xu Ning's rations for three days.
Isn't it too little to eat this in three days?
In fact, for martial arts practitioners, the more things they eat, the more garbage they produce in their bodies, which is not conducive to their cultivation.
Seeing the food, especially the bag of beef jerky, Hercules threw the mace in his hand, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. It looked as if he had been hungry for several days, and then he sat on the ground regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, chewing beef in one hand and flatbread in the other.
Listening to his teeth rattling like sharpening knives, I don't know what is going on inside. In the blink of an eye, a pack of beef jerky and two flatbreads were swallowed like a whirlwind.
Xu Ning was standing next to him, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes.
Hercules is a typical person without martial arts, completely dependent on the ability of the body, especially the "Body Refining Fist" that tempers the body, which consumes a lot of strength every day, and it is not possible to eat without eating.
"This kid is such a bastard, I don't check before eating, if I really want to poison him, I will die a long time ago."
After Hercules finished eating, he felt a little refreshed, but it was clear that he was not full. He rubbed his stomach with his hand and looked at Xu Ning with expectant eyes.
"Don't look at it, you've eaten up all my rations for three days." Xu Ning sighed and said.
"But I'm not full yet! Forget it, I'll continue to lie under the hay and wait, in case a tiger comes in a while, I invite you to eat tiger meat! ”
As he spoke, Hercules picked up his mace from the ground and turned to walk towards the small pavilion. Xu Ning suddenly saw a touch of purple on his back, and his eyes lit up.
"Big black. Hold it. ”
"What for?" Hercules asked, looking back.
"You kid just think about hunting, don't you know how to pick something to eat? There is food everywhere in this mountain forest, and you are so hungry, how stupid it is! ”
Hercules scratched his head and said, "What to pick?" What is Picking? ”
Xu Ning was helpless, feeling that he would be an idiot if he continued to ask.
How can a guy who only knows how to play with bears, tigers and leopards know the art of survival in the deep forest? Forget it, help people to the end!
He walked over and pointed to the big black man's clothes, which were dyed purple in several places. Said: "It is the rhizome color of the tapioca in it. Come with me, there's food where you just lay down! ”
Hercules was skeptical, carrying a mace on his back and Xu Ning came to the meadow under the small pavilion.
Xu Ning squatted down and lifted a part of the hay. There's the hard ground down there. After looking around again. Xu Ning's hand had an extra flattened leaf, purple.
"Dig down here!"
"Digging? It's all grassroots, what are you digging for? Hercules said unhappily.
"Less nonsense. I'll dig you if you tell you to! Xu Ning glared and stretched out a finger to tap his waist.
"Oops!"
The meridian acupoints on his waist were sore, and Hercules immediately became as honest as a little cat, obediently squatting on the ground and digging up. The dirt is hard and the roots are wrapped in it, but it's the best exercise for someone like Hercules, who likes to use brute force.
His ten fingers were about the same as steel bars, and when he pulled them with his hands, a large piece of turf was deducted, and in a short time a large hole was pulled out. Below, there was soft sand and yellow mud, and Hercules' hand reached into a hole, and in a short time it uprooted a large bunch of oval-shaped fruits like small watermelons.
"What is this?"
"Stupid, this is a kawhava, you can eat it! Dig a little more! ”
Xu Ning gently kicked his big fat glutes, but Hercules was frightened, and the feeling of the last kick is still fresh in his memory. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, lying there pouting his big ass and digging desperately, and after a while, dozens of pieces were piled up outside.
"Okay, okay, if you dig any more digging, it will be extinct." Xu Ning sighed and tugged at his trouser belt to lift him up. The weight is really not light, how can it be more than 500 catties.
"Can I eat this?"
Although he was scared of Xu Ning in his heart, when it came to eating, Hercules couldn't help but ask. Those so-called tapias are like lumps of mud, what does it taste like to eat them in your stomach?
"Silly big man, don't think about it, hurry up and make a fire, you will always do it!"
"That's fine!"
Hercules saw some small stones from all around, formed a circle, and then broke off an iron peg from his mace, and slashed it around on a piece of dry firewood, and in a circle came out of it.
"Well, isn't it simpler to have a fire?" Xu Ning sighed.
There were dry trees all around, and Hercules threw the sturdiest part into a stone circle, and in a short time the fire burned. The sun at noon was already very warm, and with such a fire, Xu Ning felt a little hot.
"Throw all these cassava into it!"
Xu Ning said, picked up a few and threw them into the fire, and Hercules also followed Xu Ning's example.
"Silly big man, listen up, this kind of thing is called cassava, which is not only delicious, but also very energy-replenishing food. It will take at least ten years for a piece of purple potato to grow into a fist-sized piece, and it is really good for you kid to find so many and so big today. ”
"I don't know what to say, as long as I can eat it." Hercules muttered.
Xu Ning knew that he was also playing the piano to the cow if he continued to speak, so he simply stopped talking.
As Xu Ning said, this kind of thing contains more calories than meat, after eating, if it can't be digested, it will be stored in the body, and it will be converted into energy at any time when needed, and will not be converted into fat. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is now also endangered.
While the two were waiting, the sound of a carriage came from a distance, Hercules was tall and could see far away, and suddenly smiled and said, "Big brother, my daughter-in-law is here!" (To be continued......)
