Uncle Nine said very seriously: "That's because you don't know the local situation yet......

Zhou Xiaolong asked, "What's the situation?!" ”

Uncle Nine said: Many years ago, there was no food to eat at that time, it happened that there was a lot of heavy rain in the summer of that year, and the villagers didn't even have grass roots to eat, so people began to look for food everywhere, first picked up the bark, stripped off the bark, the bark was gone, the villagers saw that there were a lot of frogs on the branches, and began to catch frogs to eat, and then the frogs finished eating, and the villagers began to eat the toads on the trees, it is said that some people were poisoned by frogs, their eyes were swollen to the size of copper bells, their stomachs were bulging into a ball, and their bodies were full of meat lumps the size of soybeans…… But even so, eating frogs has become a hobby of the local villagers, and after life is good, not starving, the villagers still like to catch toads on the mountain or by the water, and the farmhouse dishes opened in the nearby farmhouse, a large part of which are frog cooking dishes, seem to have become a local flavor snack, of course, many of the farmhouses are purchased breeding bullfrogs, but the locals believe that the freshness of the breeding frogs can not be compared with the wild ones, therefore, in summer, the villagers like to go to the mountains with flashlights to catch frogs, Then go home and make snacks......

Zhou Xiaolong sighed and said: "I have also eaten chili fried field chicken in the restaurant, or field chicken spicy pot, the taste of field chicken is really delicate, but once I saw a merchant in the farmers' market killing bullfrogs, peeled bullfrogs, those two legs, look very similar to human legs, really terrifying and cruel......

Uncle Nine recalled for a moment and said: "It seems that just last summer, I followed the villagers to arrest once, and now that I think about it, I feel that the situation that day was already very strange......"

Zhou Xiaolong asked again: "What's weird?" ”

That night, Uncle Nine went up to the hillside with dozens of villagers, and chose a place with dense grass and wet water.

These people didn't expect that in an instant, there were thousands of big toads escaping, quite spectacular, people were dazzled, everyone saw that there were so many toads, they had not encountered them in previous years, people were overjoyed, and shouted in their mouths to catch them.

The bigger the toad, the more stupid it became, scurrying all over the mountains, moving unfast, and being easily grabbed by the villagers one by one like picking up stones, and thrown into the sack.

Later, the toads on the mountain were driven into the col, the col was dark and dreary, and the villagers caught the toads and caught them, but when they reached the col, they all stopped, although they were unwilling, but they did not dare to go inside.

Why did there appear so many toads this year, Uncle Nine was very strange at that time, he tried to stop the villagers from eating those toads, but who could believe his words?

And later, Uncle Nine told Zhou Xiaolong that the local villagers were also very puzzling to ordinary people about the method of eating frogs, and ordinary people would immediately feel quite cruel when they heard it.

For example, there is a popular local meat dish called "Ten Perfect Tonic Dishes".

The specific method is to pour water into the cauldron, cut the yam into ten centimeters long, put it in the water, and then put the live fat frog without slaughtering, after washing, take advantage of the live jumping directly into the hot pot, and then, put in the onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments, immediately cover the pot, press the lid tightly, so that the frog can not jump out.

Then the stove was filled with firewood, and the water in the pot boiled over the fire, and then I heard the lid of the pot not stop rolling, and the frog was heated, struggling in the pot, and when it was not long, the hot water boiled, and the frog had been cooked alive, and the lid was lifted, and the smell was fragrant, and each frog was staring with its mouth open, and hugged a piece of yam tightly.

Because the frog was tormented by hot water in the pot, it was in pain, and it could only desperately hold on to a yam until it died, so the juice of the frog penetrated deep into the yam and the taste was very unique.

The chef then chops up the yam and cooked frog and stir-fries it with other seasonal vegetables, which is said to be more delicious than a Buddha jumping over a wall.

After listening to Uncle Jiu's explanation of this cruel cooking method, Zhou Xiaolong thought that he would never eat fried chicken with chili peppers in the future.

Zhou Xiaolong said to Uncle Nine while paddling: If Zhou Xiaolong is one of those frogs who died tragically, Zhou Xiaolong will also find an opportunity to take revenge on these villagers.

Uncle Nine said: "This is the difference between wild and farmed animals. ”

Zhou Xiaolong asked, "What do you mean, what can be the difference between the two?" ”

Uncle Nine said: "The farmed chickens, ducks and geese, after people's hard feeding, have less grievances, but wild animals are not born to make food for people, so the grievances are very heavy, for example, many years ago, wasn't there an animal called civet cats, which developed a virus to retaliate against humans?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong heard a cold sweat, thinking of that year, even to take the bus had to wear a gas mask, it was really terrible, later, the news did say that the pathogen may come from a wild animal civet, because of its unique taste, it has become a delicacy in southern Fujian, and then the civet cats are about to become extinct, is the SARS virus really the civet cat's revenge on the diners......

Zhou Xiaolong still don't think about these things, anyway, at this time, Zhou Xiaolong just wants to get out as soon as possible, go home to change into clean clothes, and then eat a bowl of Master Kong's instant noodles, this is Zhou Xiaolong's greatest satisfaction.

Uncle Nine suddenly lifted his spirit and straightened up, he said, "Hey, it seems to be windy......"

Zhou Xiaolong was sweating profusely from paddling, and when he heard Uncle Nine say this, he stood up and felt that there was indeed some flowing airflow, however, Zhou Xiaolong seemed to smell a smell of gasoline in the airflow.

Zhou Xiaolong said to Uncle Jiu: It seems that there is really wind, does it mean that Zhou Xiaolong is about to go out?

Next, Uncle Nine directed Zhou Xiaolong to paddle according to the direction of the torch's flames, and it seemed that after a long time, Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine finally saw a large rock protruding in front of them.

An iron peg was nailed to the rock, some straw ropes were tied to it, and a few rafts were moored in the water that were the same as those under Zhou Xiaolong's feet, and then, Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Jiu stepped on the raft and went ashore.

Finally stepped on the solid ground under his feet, and Zhou Xiaolong's body also had strength, and that down-to-earth feeling was really good.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhou Xiaolong found something terrible, another corpse, lying face down on the ground, before he could check the corpse, Zhou Xiaolong found two more in front, and the terrible thing was that there were still not far away.

In the small space, Zhou Xiaolong roughly counted them, there were almost eight corpses, and from the outside, they all belonged to men.

Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu: Uncle Jiu, why is there such a corpse here, it is too terrifying, will there be a huge danger!!!!!!!!
