58. Sources of food

The dark and boundless Black Forest, all about the pristine and wild, the sun shines through the woods and into the woodland. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info such a cruel wilderness survival, although Apis received some training when he served in the Legion, but when the cruel and real wilderness survival arrived, Apis still couldn't help but have a trace of panic.

First of all, the acquisition of food has become the biggest problem, the acquisition of meat requires a lot of physical strength and time, and the barbarians may not have left yet, and they cannot make a fire, otherwise they will be discovered by the barbarians. But it is almost impossible to eat raw, Apis has not received training in this area, even if this body is strong, whether it can bear it if it can bear it if it eats raw pieces of meat, I don't know, not to mention a piece of paralyzed raw meat in front of him, how to eat it is already a problem.

Fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. vegetarian?

This sounds like easy access to food, but it can be a challenge for people with no experience in the wild. First of all, how to find them, Appis is already in trouble, so to speak, there is no clue.

Fortunately, Appis now has a partner by his side - Faobi, Sabinus's personal guard before his death, the elite cavalry of the Roman General's Guard, can be selected from the legion of thousands of people to join the General's Guard, Faobi not only has excellent fighting skills, but also has a strong ability to survive in the wild. He was able to sense the danger of two miles away, whether it was the threat of a beast or man-made movements. And Faobi also has his own way of obtaining all kinds of food, he can skillfully climb fruit trees, pick ripe fruits, and can also find all kinds of mushrooms that can be used in damp places.

……

Fate makes people, God closes the door for you, and will also open a window for you. After the bloody battle in the forest, Appis thought back to what had happened in the past few days, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh that fate had made people, everything had happened so dramatically, and when he was in Rome, when Sabinus found himself in his apartment and promoted himself to the captain of the legionary cavalry, Apis was full of confidence that in the future, it would not be long before he would become the middle class of Rome, and he could have a certain amount of assets, and then he could run for tribune, and then he would be eligible to make a request to Attia, Married to her daughter Octavia.

But fate was so bumpy, the Eighth Legion of the Seventh Legion was ambushed in the forest, and Sabinus had just recognized his father and son, but his whereabouts were unknown in the bloody battle in the woods, and the chance of survival was almost zero. All happiness came so suddenly, and then it was lost so suddenly...... Appis suddenly felt, why did the ancients have faith, many times, human beings are so helpless when they encounter disasters, when they encounter some obstacles that they can't overcome, or when they can't change the cruelty of their fate, at this time, what else can you do except believe in the gods?

"Appis."

Appis was fascinated, and Faobi picked up a twig covered with fat larvae and white eggs.

"What for?"

Looking at Faobi, Appis asked in confusion.

"You should try this."

……

The words that came out of Faobi's mouth shocked Appis. Seeing the wriggling dense worms, let alone eating them, and even touching them with his fingers, Appis felt extremely disgusted, but now Faobi had to swallow them himself.

"Dude, you're not kidding, are you?"

Appis spread his branches apart, frustrating his refusal of food from the Roman legionnaires. If that's food......

"No kidding, these larvae and eggs are very high-quality food, they can make you hungry, the effect is more obvious than any fruit and wild vegetables, I don't believe you can try it."

Faobi handed over the branch again, and the worms on it even dripped on Appis's body......

"Wait, I think I'd rather eat more fruit and wild vegetables than these disgusting bugs, even if they do have a good stomach."

Appis turned to look at Faobi, hoping that this comrade would not introduce this food to him again. The larvae can be used as a temporary food source, which Apis knows, the Bell on TV before the crossing is often doing this kind of thing, but watching others take risks and try it with himself is completely different, those fat little worms, Apis feels that he will be nauseous to vomit when he looks at it more, even if he starves to death, it is impossible to swallow.

"Brother, I know you don't like this kind of food, but in a special environment, we have to learn to adapt and eat all kinds of wild food, I can understand how you feel now, when I first ate this bug meal, I also felt a wave of nausea, and I vomited many times before I got used to it. But in order to survive, we must consume it. Fruits and wild vegetables are not available all the time, and when the season is over, we will not have a supply of fruits and wild vegetables, and at that time, bugs will become our main food source. ”

Seeing that Appis still did not speak, Faobi continued to persuade -

"Unless we find other legions and join them up we will be able to eat the food of the hot civilized world, or we will all have to live on it until then. It's summer, and there are plenty of foods to choose from in the forest, but once it's late autumn or winter, we may not even be able to eat the bugs. You know what, man, I used to eat carrion and offal from animals in a desperate situation. Those things, you don't have to say to eat, smell sick to you. But in order to survive, I have no choice, my wife and daughter at home are still waiting for me to go back, so I have to live. ”

……

Faobi's words made Abiston feel a sour nose. Indeed, human beings always live because of hope, and because of hope and sustenance, human beings have the courage and determination to overcome all difficulties. Faobi's wife and daughter are all the motivation for him to live, and Octavia has become the warmest memory of Appis at this moment. The delicate pendant around his neck was like a recreation of yesterday's scene, and Octavia's expectant eyes stayed in Appis's heart for a long time.

"For the sake of the family, for the sake of survival."

Appis looked at Faobi and forced a smile. Then, try to pinch a larva with your fingers and put it in your mouth......

Looking at the still wriggling worm, Apis closed his eyes and quickly threw the worm into his mouth.

The taste of grilled sausages? The taste of fried chicken? It's all, swallowing larvae makes it feel like snot running into your mouth, except for nausea or nausea.
