Chapter 5: Camouflage
"Little brother, you said you want to know the history of a hundred years ago?" The old man changed his name without a trace
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Yu nodded excitedly, "What happened a hundred years ago?" ”
"Oh, that's a long story." The old man looked unfathomable, "It's normal for little brother to be curious, but you also have to pay attention to safety, you see how dangerous it was last night, if it weren't for the pony desperately trying to save you, tsk." The wilderness is very dangerous, where can I make it clear here? ”sp7l
The old man said as he secretly glanced at Ye Yu, who just nodded with a stunned expression. The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he said, "Little Brother Ye Yu, you have been out for so long, your parents should be very worried about you, right?" ”
Hearing his parents, Ye Yu's nose was sour, and tears were about to flow out, he sniffed, and was about to say that his parents were no longer there, when the old man spoke first: "My old man, he is not qualified, but Xia Lu, this child, can be regarded as saving you, can you see if you can ...... Please, Mom and Dad, give her a place in the 'city'? ”
Although the old man's words were not heavy, they hit Ye Hao's heart like a sledgehammer, and he finally understood what the problem was, and at this time he suddenly felt a cold sweat wet his back.
Looking at the old man's complicated eyes, his heart was nervous, as if he understood something.
If the answer is not good, what awaits him may be an extremely tragic fate.
Ye Hao felt that his thinking suddenly became extremely calm, his originally chaotic thoughts were suddenly sorted out, and the things he had ignored before also jumped out clearly.
This is the world a hundred years later, which is very different from the era I am familiar with, and it may have become extremely difficult to survive, and whether I can survive or not is likely to be on my father's "engineer". He deliberately scratched his head and said in a hesitant tone: "My dad is a very strict person...... "After thinking about it, he added, "And our family has already given a place to go out." ”
No matter what the "quota" of that "city" was, this was obviously the last thing he relied on to survive. But he didn't dare to agree directly, otherwise it would be too easy to be exposed, and once the other party knew that he was not from that "city", let alone a father who was an "engineer" in it, he didn't dare to imagine what was waiting for him.
The old man nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, yes, I know, the quota in the city is very difficult, and we are not greedy, right?" You see, if there is only one place for Xia Lu, she is a good boy and should not be in this wilderness...... It's not bad, you have to look at it......"
Ye Yu was embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't mean that, I'll try my best, try my best." ”
The old man showed a relieved smile, took Ye Hao's hand and thanked him vigorously, but it made Ye Hao feel weak and embarrassed. Just when he didn't know what to do, his stomach rumbled at the right time to help him out of the fence.
"Look at it, look at it, you forget about it when you speak. Come come, come first, eat first, eat first. The old man diligently pulled Ye Hao to the fire, and drove away several people by the fire with a cane, and personally helped Ye Hao to sit down.
"There's nothing to eat in the wilderness, so fill your stomach." The old man smiled and handed a bowl of paste-like things to Ye Yu.
Looking at the green mucus in the bowl, Ye Hao's stomach turned over for a while, and he frowned and took a sip, Ye Hao's face became extremely exciting.
This green juice has a unique fishy smell, and I don't know what seasoning is added, forming an extremely strange taste, which is indescribable, and Ye Yu almost didn't squirt out in one gulp.
Looking at Ye Hao's performance, the old man's eyes softened a little, he hurriedly took the bowl, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I can't help it, there's nothing to eat in the wilderness, and you're tired." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Yu waved his hand, he would rather be hungry first than eat this kind of thing again.
The old man seemed to have made up his mind, and made a color at the strong man beside him, and the strong man turned to leave, and after a while brought a small cloth bag. The old man took the cloth bag and carefully opened it layer by layer, and inside the cloth bag was a strip of dried meat about twenty centimeters long and five centimeters wide.
"This thing was originally reserved for the most difficult times, but ......" The old man stroked the jerky like his lover, with a thick reluctance in his eyes, but soon he deliberately gritted his teeth and handed the jerky to Ye Hao.
Ye Hao just wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw the old man's eyes, his heart jumped suddenly, took it, tore off a piece with force, and put it in his mouth. This jerky is extremely old and hard, and Ye Yu's cheeks are tired and painful before he barely chews it, not only that, but there is also a lingering smell, if it weren't for the spicy meat in it, he wouldn't even be able to eat this jerky.
Ye Yu was really hungry, he must have thrown this kind of thing directly before, but now he ate half of it in one go, and his mouth was dry, the old man was very clever and asked someone to send a scoop of clear water with leaves, this water was not a problem, but it was slightly earthy, Ye Yu felt that his stomach was finally temporarily calmed down after drinking.
The old man took the remaining half of the jerky, carefully wiped off the meat star on it and handed it to the strong man beside him. The strong man hesitated, then put it in his mouth and chewed. The old man put the jerky in a cloth bag and wrapped it and handed it to the strong man.
After doing all this, the old man turned around, glanced at Ye Yu a few times, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Ye, which city do you live in?" ”
Damn it! Ye Hao scolded fiercely in his heart, this old man was still not at ease at this time, and he was still trying. And this time it's really in the middle of Ye Yu's weakness, how does he know what city is nearby! Seeing that he was about to be exposed, his head spun rapidly at a speed of twelve minutes.
A flash of inspiration flashed, and Ye Yu knew that he had to take a gamble.
"I heard Xia Lu call you Grandpa Shan, I'll call you Grandpa Shan." Ye Yu suddenly put on a serious expression, "You know, I'm looking for the history of a hundred years ago, and I also know that you want a place, so if you can tell me what happened a hundred years ago, I guarantee that I will get this place!" After saying that, he stared at the old man's eyes, not even daring to blink his eyelids.
The old man seemed to be really frightened, he awkwardly avoided Ye Hao's gaze, and said: "The history of a hundred years ago, I know a little, but ......"
"I want a complete answer, of course, I'm not a person who doesn't know how to be grateful, but without this history, I don't dare to guarantee a place." Ye Yu knew that he had made the right bet, the old man really didn't know the history of a hundred years ago, and now he was anti-guest-oriented, seizing the other party's flaws and attacking.
The old man thought for a moment and said seriously: "I really don't know, but I know who still preserves this history, if you can really determine a place, I will take you there." ”
"Good!" Ye Yu agreed, "As long as you can take me to get the history of a hundred years ago, I promise to definitely give you a place!" He paused, didn't dare to give the old man a chance, and pursued after the victory: "Where is the person you said who knows history?" ”
The old man showed an affirmative expression: "Their settlement will not change, I have been there many times, but I am not sure if the food and water of the tribe can still support us to walk through." ”
"So, Grandpa Shan, let's wait until you're sure, right?" Ye Yu stood up with a smile, "Can I take a look around?" ”
"Of course." The old man made a gesture of please, Ye Yu nodded at him, and left quickly.
After walking a few steps, Ye Yu felt like a big battle, his whole body was about to lose his strength, his back was already soaked with sweat, and it was only a few tens of seconds, which can be said to be extremely dangerous, a rhythm that would end if he was not careful, and now he just wanted to leave this old man quickly, where did he care which way to go.
Behind him, the old man squinted his eyes and looked at his back, and whispered, "This little guy is not an easy chick to deal with." ”
It's also a shame that Ye Yu can't hear his words, otherwise he is afraid that he will be scared on the spot and will run away.
Ye Hao's identity quickly spread among everyone, and everyone's expression was a little more flattering, which made Ye Hao feel even more incredible, the identity of an engineer can bring such a great effect? Even the young man who couldn't stop hurting him at the beginning didn't dare to say anything sarcastic, but Kuroko was obviously a familiar character, and soon entangled next to Ye Yu and refused to leave.
