Chapter 284: Innocent Caterpillar
The scholar's name is Ning Wenqing, who wants to go to the Confucian Palace to study, but the poor family can only choose to trek between the mountains and wilderness, and has to hit the idea on the insect in order to satisfy his stomach.
Ning Wenqing, who was walking on the road, hadn't seen meat for a few months, and as he walked, he heard people say that he wanted to eat roasted insects, and he thought that he was hallucinating from hunger, but when he got closer, he found that there were really people, so this was what happened.
Ye Liancheng listened to Ning Wenqing's story, and secretly went through it in his heart, and found that there were no loopholes, as if everything was according to what he said.
"It's autumn, where can I find the right insects?" Ye Liancheng asked, it is autumn, there are many fewer insects than in summer, and not all insects can be roasted and eaten.
Ning Wenqing also showed a distressed look on his face, he had also been troubled by this question for a long time, otherwise he would not be so excited after hearing someone say that he wanted to eat roasted insects.
"I don't know, but this senior may be able to think of a way. ”
Hearing Ning Wenqing's crepe answer, Ye Liancheng frowned, perhaps because of the influence of Hongying, he didn't like scholars very much.
Yu Lao is different, he finally saw a person who likes to eat insects, so he naturally has to treat it well, he patted Ning Wenqing on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the old man has his own clever plan." ”
Ning Wenqing nodded excitedly, "Thank you seniors, I don't know if seniors are also moving in this direction?"
Heading in this direction? Ye Liancheng was a little puzzled, could it be that this person only knew the location of the Confucian Palace but did not know the specific route.
Fortunately, Yu Lao took the first step to express Ye Liancheng's doubts, "You little baby doesn't know where the Confucian Palace is?"
Facing the gaze of the master and apprentice, Ning Wenqing blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "My master told me that I would always go north, and I don't have to worry about the rest." ”
Ye Liancheng's eyes flickered, and he felt that you had walked all the way north to this place, "Then you have passed through a series of crumbling mountains?"
Ning Wenqing nodded, just walked out of the mountains, looked back and found that the mountains and mountains seemed to have been cut off, and couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature, so the place Ye Liancheng said was still a little reflective.
No wonder, it was behind them who walked out of the mountains, otherwise they would have become two-legged sheep in the Batu Caves.
Since it hadn't been too long since they met, Ye Liancheng didn't continue to ask, so just beware of this person.
Yu Lao chatted with this person very well, and it turned out from his mouth that Ning Wenqing didn't even know that there was 'Chaisang City' in front of him, and he had to say that it was a miracle that a weak scholar could survive alone in the mountains.
Since the kebabs were mentioned, and Yu Lao made a promise, the next step is the appearance of Yu Laoda's magical powers.
The bugs are so small, and there are three people here to eat, so the number of bugs to find is not small.
Ye Liancheng has become a lively person again, he is happy to be leisurely, to see how the two people with similar tastes can find insects in this big autumn.
Needless to say, Yu Lao crawled on the ground like a radar, and after a while, he reached out into the grass and pulled out a live insect, and then strung it with a grass stalk and began to harvest the insect.
And Ning Wenqing is not so easy, his method of finding insects is exactly the same as Yu Lao, but the efficiency is basically zero, Yu Lao has to catch enough ten insects, and he still has nothing.
This scholar didn't seem to have a bright brain, Ye Liancheng looked at it for a while and then withdrew his gaze, he looked into the distance and acted as a bodyguard for the two.
After about a stick of incense, Ning Wenqing finally had a harvest, but what he caught in his hand was a caterpillar that lived by eating grass leaves, which seemed not suitable for barbecue.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, just leave it to me. Yu Lao seemed to be comforting Ning Wenqing, but in fact, he paid attention to the insect.
Ning Wenqing glanced at the insects in Yu Lao's arms, which were skewered with grass stems, and handed over most of his harvest to Yu Lao with some embarrassment.
He has survived in the wild for so long and does know that this bug is not suitable for barbecue.
How do you know that Yu Lao didn't use it to barbecue, but with a mouth, he threw this insect into his mouth, smashed it, and swallowed it in his stomach.
Ye Liancheng was already surprised by this, but Ning Wenqing's eyes widened with curiosity, this insect can actually be eaten raw!
After eating the caterpillar, Yu Lao smiled at Ning Wenqing, and after leaking out a mouth full of yellow teeth, he began to look for the insects hiding in the grass.
Ning Wenqing, who was stimulated, became extremely hardworking, and today he had to find a few bugs as well!
The hard work paid off, Ning Wenqing saw movement on a small grass, presumably there must be insects hiding in it.
Pushing aside the weeds in front of him, after Ning Wenqing saw the insect, his originally fiery face showed an expression of disappointment, and it was another caterpillar.
Did you stab the caterpillar's nest? Sighing, when he was about to continue looking for prey, Ning Wenqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, this insect has eaten all the predecessors, and it looks like it tastes good, do you want to try it yourself.
This scene was taken into Ye Liancheng's eyes, and with a hint of a wicked smile, he looked at Ning Wenqing intently, he wanted to see what this scholar was going to do.
Just do it, although Ning Wenqing hesitated on weekdays, but at this moment, he quickly made up his mind, grabbed the fat caterpillar, and threw it into his mouth like Yu Lao.
Yu Lao also noticed Ning Wenqing's movements, unlike Ye Liancheng, his face showed an expression of appreciation.
"Crunch", because Ning Wenqing showed that he was eating one small bite after another, so the caterpillar bit the pulp in the first bite, and the yellow viscous liquid filled his mouth.
Ye Liancheng glanced at the mucus that had been sprayed from Ning Wenqing's mouth and withdrew his gaze with some disgust.
In fact, after the first bite, Ning Wenqing felt a little strange, astringent, and a little bitter, not as delicious as the predecessors.
Just as he was about to spit out something in his mouth, he saw Yu Lao's encouraging eyes, and Yu Lao even waved his fist at him.
Could it be that as the Master said, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and the sweetness is usually at the end!
Ning Wenqing plucked up his courage and began to refuse the caterpillar in his mouth, but in the end, the taste was really unbearable, so he could only swallow it directly into his stomach.
Before he could taste the taste, Ning Wenqing stuck out his tongue because his mouth was pierced by the burrs on the caterpillar.
