Chapter 8 Gastronomy

Sijiu caught a glimpse of the daggers scattered on the ground, quickly picked them up, kicked away the man who was pressing on An Ning's body, and waved the knife in front of him, "Come over again, I'll kill someone!" ”

Sijiu's eyes were red, his body was bowed, like a full bow, and his arrows were ready to fight, ready to fight for his life at any time.

The besieger's brain spun rapidly, like a hungry wolf besieging a dying hyena, quietly moving his feet to find the other's loopholes.

Forty-nine, An Ning felt that death was so close for the first time.

After several attempts, the wolves never had a chance to strike, as if nothing had happened, and the walking dead continued to move forward.

As soon as the person walked away, the string that was stretched seemed to be broken suddenly, Sijiu was paralyzed on the ground, motionless, An Ning hurriedly picked up the dagger and held it in his hand, and stayed by Sijiu's side, in case anyone coveted their body again, picked up the package, and dragged Sijiu to hide in the dilapidated house next to him.

There is a well in the courtyard, it is estimated that it has long dried up, An Ning can not give up, maybe there is a drop of water, throw the bucket into the well, except for the sound of hitting the wall of the well, I did not hear the sound of water at all. After three rests, he dragged the bucket back to the ground, but there was not a drop of water in the bucket, and he sat on the ground in despair.

It was her who caused the trouble, Sijiu became like this because of her, if she really threw her life here, it was her responsibility, and she would not be at peace in her life.

How cool is it on the legs, hey, there is water on the outer wall of the bucket, and I looked at the moonlight, and I was sure that it was the outside of the bucket, and the lower third was water stains.

"Brother, wait, An Ning will fetch you water to drink immediately." Untied the belt, tied it into a knot, tied it to the hemp rope, and after a while, the belt that was lifted was dripping with water, and hurriedly dripped the water on Sijiu's lips.

An Ning looked at Sijiu carefully by the moonlight, and Sijiu said that when she exchanged her life for someone else's body to eat, she didn't feel it, and she would say such beautiful words. When Sijiu really clenched the knife and blocked her with his life, An Ning's heart was unbearable, there were really people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for others, and she got it, it was worth it even if she married him in this life, but how did he become a woman. Can't figure it out...... Can't figure it out.

I don't know how long it took, Sijiu slowly woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw An Ning lying beside him, the quilt that he pulled out of nowhere, wrapped in the two of them, Sijiu hurriedly reached out and tried An Ning's snort, fortunately, he was still alive. I calmed down, adjusted my posture, and fell asleep with a soft peace in my heart.

The sun was three poles, and An Ning was awake, this way was too tiring, and when I looked up, I saw Sijiu holding her hand to block the sun on her face, looking at her softly, warm, and wanting to see people's hearts.

The rest of yesterday's catastrophe made An Ning particularly blame herself, if it wasn't for her nonsense that caused trouble, the two of them would not have almost been eaten, if things were reversed, it was Sijiu who caused trouble, Anning would definitely be unforgiving, but Sijiu didn't say anything, and she was so warm. An Ning's nose was sore, and she turned her head to cry, but Shui Doudou was dazzled by the sun before she fell, and instantly bounced up from the ground, "Oh, my water is going to be sunburned." ”

dragging the broken quilt to block the sunlight on the wellhead, Sijiu was dragged to one side and rolled over at 360 degrees, "Brother, quickly find something to cover the manhole, there is still a little water in it." ”

Sijiu went into the house and took a bucket out, "I got it all up, and I don't know when I put it in the well." ”

The two of them began to work hard to fetch water, tossing for an hour, or every time they put it down, there was water every time, there were already two buckets, and then put down the bucket, and the water was still one-third of the bucket, "Maybe there is still groundwater, but there is not much, it can only overflow a little at the bottom of the well." An Ning said.

"Let's take a break. If we have water and no food, we won't be able to last long. "Forty-nine sat down.

"Do you really want to eat?" An Ning smiled slyly again.

"You said yesterday that you had something to eat, where is it?"

"Everywhere, everywhere."

"Dead people? Those who can't eat it will get the pestilence and die sooner. Sijiu shook his head repeatedly. Isn't it supposed that people can't eat people, but they are afraid of the plague.

"I'm talking about locusts." An Ning pointed to the sky.

"Gash ~ don't make fun of me."

"The ancients were insectivorous, with a long history, and it was said in "Lingbiao Luyi" that 'ant egg sauce, its taste is similar to meat sauce, and it is not available to relatives and friends of officials and guests', which is said to be made of ant eggs as sauce, which is a high-end food for nobles to eat. Fan Zhongyan also said, 'Locusts can be dried as a substitute for shrimp, try your best to catch them to eliminate harm and food, why not do it!' There is also fresh meat that can be eaten by wealthy families when it is metamorphosed to produce grain worms, called 'meat sprouts' or 'meat shoots'. An Ning shook his head and said.

"What is a grain worm?"

"Maggots!"

"Vomit ~ vomit ~ " Sijiu just vomited out the water he had just drunk, and he almost vomited out his stomach.

"Do you dare to eat it?"

After thinking about it, Sijiu pondered for a long time, "What happened to the people who ate locusts?" ”

"I guess it's nothing, if there is something, Fan Zhongyan won't advocate it."

"What do you do, you say! There are not a few people who use insects as medicine, and they can also cure diseases and save people. Forty-nine pinched his waist with an open expression.

"It can be steamed, fried, roasted, or dried."

Sijiu was busy lighting a fire and catching insects, An Ning washed his face with a little water, moved a chair from the house, sat leisurely in the shade of a tree, held a leaf, blocked in front of him, and enjoyed the rare quiet beauty.

"It's baked, you can taste it too, it smells good." Forty-nine ended up in front of An Ning.

An Ning hid far away, shielding him with leaves, "I don't want it, you can eat, I can still hold on." You eat fat, and when the time comes, I'll come hungry and eat your meat. ”

"I'll taste it first." As he spoke, he squatted next to An Ning with his legs spread.

An Ning looked at it and shook his head, I don't know if it was a shake of the head of the insect, or the squatting posture of shaking the head of the four nines.

"Ahh ”

"Let's eat, it's hard to make it." Just now, she was blocking it with leaves, as if her eyes were dirty at a glance, and she would stare directly at the insects in front of Sijiu's mouth. "What are you hesitating about." While Sijiu opened his mouth to speak, he reached out and hit the chopsticks, and the insect fell into Sijiu's mouth.

Sijiu's facial features suddenly distorted, and he was about to vomit, An Ning hurriedly covered Sijiu's mouth and rubbed it on his cheeks, "Chew, you can swallow it when it's broken." ”

Sijiu's eyes widened, is this really the peace of the dignified and virtuous lady in the impression and everyone's lady? How is it a bit like Scar Liu, thinking about it and trembling all over. Shake off the idea of throwing your head away, and also shake off Anning's little hands, which are not cute at all.

"Well...... En~" Sijiu chewed it slowly, crispy and salty, well, you guessed it, Sijiu found salt in the house and carefully made it. After An Ning was dumbfounded, Sijiu tasted another one, and after making sure that the deliciousness was not an accident, "It's really delicious, very fragrant, like dried shrimp." ”

"Have you ever eaten dried shrimp?" An Ning asked.

"No, didn't you say that locusts can replace shrimp?" Sijiu looked serious, "So this should be the flavor of dried shrimp." It's delicious, more fragrant than roast pheasant and rabbit. ”

An Ning still hid and insisted on not eating. Sijiu made a fuss and caught shrimp in a big way, oh, locusts, "Come and help me catch them, there is nothing to eat around here, they will fly away soon." ”
