Chapter 674: Mutual Benefit
Knowing that he and Diji were still alive, Zidu's heart rekindled the hope of life.
Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people.
"But what about being alive, what is the difference between our current appearance, imprisoned in the Yin River, never seeing the light of day, and dead?
I think it's worse than death, you don't need to eat when you die, you have to find food to live. Zidu couldn't help but start complaining again.
When it comes to eating, Zidu can't help but burp, in fact, his stomach is not very full, and the raw fish is making a mistake in his stomach, and the full burp that comes out is worse than the smell of the deer.
"It stinks!" Zidu's burping was in the face of Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi frowned, and hurriedly fanned his nose with his hand.
Zidu hurriedly covered his mouth: "Hehe, I'm sorry, I was so hungry just now that I couldn't wait to stuff a stone into my stomach, and when I saw those pickled fish, I couldn't help but swallow it raw." ”
"Zidu, I'm sorry to let you suffer with me!" Xiao Qi stood up and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
With a single thought, he turned a suave prince into a primitive man who drank blood, and Xiao Qi felt a little guilty.
"Look at what you say, it is my great honor to be able to accompany the emperor from birth to death, and I will not be guilty of sin, and I will not be guilty." Zidu smiled innocently.
Eating raw fish was so sinful, Xiao Qi was a little hesitant, and he didn't know whether to eat a little.
She stared blankly at the fish she had pickled, still feeling that the smell was too strong.
She swallowed her saliva, the fish in the Yin River were tender and tender, but the fishy smell was much fishier than the fish in the river that saw the sun.
"Alas, if the deer is here, maybe he can fry the raw fish." Xiao Qi muttered to himself.
"Emperor Ji, you can eat a little, even a little, it is good to replenish your physical strength, after all, people are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.
What's more, it's not just that we haven't eaten a single meal, but we haven't eaten a grain of rice in a few days. ”
Zidu grabbed a fish and handed it to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi picked up the fish and bit its head or tail, she swallowed her saliva and began to hesitate again.
"Eat, eat, although the smell is unpleasant, but the taste is good, the meat is delicate, and even the fish bones can be swallowed in the stomach." The son encouraged her.
But he himself was stimulated by the fishy smell, and the gurgling in his stomach began to stir again, and he couldn't hold it back, and he vomited it out.
"It seems that we have all evolved into civilized people, and we are not used to drinking blood!" Xiao Qi muttered in his heart, and hurriedly patted Zidu's back to help him vomit.
Boom, boom, the water in the Yin River is tumbling.
"Oh no, it must be that beast chasing after you, Emperor, we're dead." Zidu habitually hid behind Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi turned his head and smiled and patted Zidu's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, there is me." It's just in time, I'm thinking about it. ”
"What, you're still thinking about that brute, Emperor, you don't have water in your head, are you?" Zidu was shocked and reproached.
Xiao Qi smiled: "Without it, how can I eat cooked fish?" Zidu, if we want to leave the Yin River, we can't do without this beast. ”
Zidu originally wanted to stop it, but Di Ji's words were not unreasonable, without that ruthlessness, the two of them would also starve to death, after all, raw fish is not easy to digest.
How it got into the stomach, how it had to get out of the throat, it didn't change much, at most chewed a little bit.
Xiao Qiluo comforted Zidu for a few words, and then strode to the edge of the Yin River.
She greeted the deer fiercely: "Hey, old friend, we meet again, it seems that our fate is not shallow!" ”
"Hmph, if you want to escape from the palm of my hand, there is no door!" He jumped out and glared at Xiao Qi viciously.
This woman is too cunning and doesn't know how to buy life medicine in the gourd.
has already been on Xiao Qi's ruthlessness, and he was slandered, so he decided to strike first and not give the other party a chance, otherwise the food in his mouth would have to slip away.
"Whew" The deer screamed fiercely, grinned his teeth, and opened his bloody mouth again.
"Old friend, there are so many things to eat in the Yin River, why do you need to eat us, it's a big deal that I'll help you forage for food to ensure that you won't go hungry, how about it?"
"Do you mean those fish in the Yin River, they are very cunning, their bodies are slippery, and they can't catch them at all." He snorted coldly.
Compared to those fish, these two people are also very cunning, and this time they should be optimistic, and they can't let the two of them escape again.
Looking at the greedy eyes of the ruthless, Xiao Qi certainly knew what it was thinking.
"Zidu, bring the fish and let our good friend taste it." Xiao Qi turned his head and shouted.
Zidu trembled, and really brought a pickled fish and handed it to Xiao Qi.
"If you look closely, is this a fish? Just because you can't catch it doesn't mean I can't catch it.
You taste it, it tastes good! Xiao Qi shook the fish in his hand, and saw that he was indifferent, and he was not very interested in the fish in his hand.
"I see, you think no one is good at fish, do you think so?
But have you ever thought about it, can fish help you do things, can't it be, but I'm a different person,
It can help you do things, do many, many things, such as making food, and refining elixir.
Let's try the taste and it's guaranteed to taste better than human flesh! Xiao Qi tempted it with a pickled fish.
He swept his tongue around his lips and punched him.
"Since people say this pickled fish is delicious, why don't you eat one?" The ruthless began to be moved, accepting the prey that was sent to the door.
It is very suitable for Ru Mao to drink blood, and the fish with some salt is so delicious.
"Well, yes, yes, it's delicious." He was overjoyed, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Yes, of course!" Xiao Qi replied, "But the taste of such fish has not yet reached the extreme. ”
He gave her a cruel look: "You mean, there is anything better than pickled fish?" ”
"Of course, it's a pity that there are no branches, no fire, and if there is a fire, the grilled fish will taste more delicious than the pickled fish."
"If you want fire, it's not simple, I have it when I open my mouth." The deer was triumphant.
Xiao Qibelly sneered: "Of course I know that you have fire, otherwise I would be waiting for you here, a brute?" ”
"Hehe, my good king, you are unique, your magic power is boundless, I think about it, instead of wandering around in the Yin River without a head and no brain, it is better to live a quiet and comfortable life under your protection.
But if you had an inexhaustible supply of food, would you eat us? ”
"I'm not that stupid, as long as you wait for me well, I'll spare your life, but that person is useless, it's better to eat."
Zidu was scared half to death, because of his own incompetence, he was about to eat himself, and he almost despaired.
"Emperor Ji ......" Zi hid behind Xiao Qi, almost crying.
Emperor Ji is not dead, he doesn't want to die, even if he looks at Emperor Ji from afar, he feels happy.
"King, look at what you say, how can he be useless, although he is not proficient in cooking, but he can make pills, do you know the pills?"
"He can make pills, is this true?" He was overjoyed, "You stand up, didn't I warn you, what kind of man is hiding behind a woman." ”
"Don't be afraid, the king is merciful, the king has something to ask you." Xiao Qi squeezed his eyebrows and gestured to stop hiding.
Zidu walked out stubbornly and said, "I am a pharmacist, proficient in pharmacology, and the elixir that I refine can stay young and prolong life." ”
"Great King, the son never deceives people, but I, it is because I have eaten the smart pill he refined that I have become very smart and wise.
Doesn't the king want to become a clever brute? The little seven suspects all cowered when they spoke, and took the initiative to add fuel and vinegar to him.
"There are so many spiritual grasses in Zimu Peak, it's a pity not to use them."
He hesitated again and again, and finally decided to leave the two of them alive.
He admonished, "In that case, then ...... You two, stay and work for me.
But I'll say the ugly thing first, if you two are half-hearted, I'll roast you two and turn them into roast human flesh. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for our loyalty to you." Xiao Qi and Zi hurriedly swore a vow.
Now that the danger has been resolved, it is imperative to address hunger first.
Xiao Qi and Zi all laid out the fish one by one on the bluestone slab, and spit fire.
Even the surrounding rocks became warmer.
Xiao Qi was ingenious on the fish again, smeared some spices, and only smelled the smell of the fish, and everyone couldn't help but drool.
He liked it even more, blinking his eyes and eating up the fish in one go.
Xiao Qi and Zi both shared a fish, and they could only solve their hunger.
Looking at the ruthless appearance of the deer, he must still eat fish. Xiao Qi had already thought of a way and pretended to faint.
"Hey, what's wrong with her, she's so decent, how can she faint?" The deer was so anxious that he hurriedly asked his son to show her.
Zidu hurriedly checked Xiao Qi's pulse.
Xiao Qi Chaozi blinked his eyes, and secretly pointed to his wounds, and Zidu understood.
"Great King, Emperor Ji fainted because of excessive blood loss, hunger, cold, and fatigue." Zidu hurriedly explained.
"Excessive blood loss, what's going on?" He asked fiercely.
"Because the fish must use blood to attract them, otherwise they are too slippery to catch them, and I ......" Zidu also fainted deliberately.
"Hey, hey, what's going on with you, what's going on?" He kicked both of them with his foot.
Hunger and cold, excessive blood loss, people are too weak to help the wind!
Xiao Qi and Zi both lay on the big stone that was burned by the fire, pretending to faint, and simply pretending to do it, and really slept a lot.
They still have to be by their side.
These two are too smart to let them die easily. One can make delicious dishes, and the other can refine elixirs, which is very beneficial to themselves.
The big bluestone that had been burned by the fire was very warm, and Xiao Qi and Zi slept for a day and a night before waking up.
As soon as Xiao Qi opened his eyes, he said ruthlessly: "I'm starving to death, hurry up and go fishing with me." ”
It is ruthless and strong, and a little blood has no effect on it.
As soon as the ruthless blood and the water of the Yin River blended, the fish in the Yin River scrambled to swim over, and soon they returned with a full load.
