Chapter 54: Steaming

"Guan Zhuangshi, wake up, wake up."

Little by little, Guan Li regained consciousness and regained consciousness, only to feel that he had a splitting headache, dizziness, tinnitus, and an uncomfortable stomach. I opened my eyes with great difficulty, and found that Mr. Jiang, who was one step ahead, was standing in front of him at this time, looking at him for a long time.

"Mr. Jiang..."Guan Li remembered the clump of blood-sucking bamboo he saw before he fainted, and his already pale face turned a little whiter. Could it be that Mr. Jiang and the others also met the bamboo monster, just like him, they were sucked up by the monster in the water and died in Huangquan?

Seeing through Guan Zhuangshi's thoughts, Chi Jing smiled slightly, and casually lifted the green thing at his feet: "Guan Zhuangshi, are you curious about what this is?" ”

Guan Li involuntarily took a step back with an involuntary "ah", and almost fell headlong into the water behind him.

"Don't be afraid, look." Chi Jing soothed, and with a wave of his hand, the dagger split the bamboo neatly. Guan Li looked closely, and there were many red maggots the size of tail fingers wriggling in the middle of the bamboo. was already deeply unwell, but at this time, when he saw these maggots, his stomach was churning, Guan Li's face turned white, and he vomited as soon as he opened his mouth.

He was really unlucky, Ji Jing looked at the wound on his forehead with sympathy. These maggots live in the bamboo tube, which is used as its own cover, and lives by sucking blood and gnawing on carrion. She and Xiaoyu came all the way to relax and comfortable, without bleeding and injury, and only escaped in the water.

If Xiao Yu hadn't been bored for a while, so he turned back to answer him, he was afraid that he would really die in the water, and let these bamboo insects suck their blood and die. But then again, this is also Guan Li's fate that he is destined to be saved by Xiaoyu today, no matter whether she appears here or not, he will not die today.

Guan Li vomited the contents of his stomach and emptied it. He looked up sickly and said, "Guan Li is here, thank you for the grace of Miss Xiaoyu for saving her life." ”

The little fish ignored him, and took the bone that should be a beast and played with the red maggots on the ground. Seeing this, Guan Li turned around and spit out violently.

Chi Jing rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "Xiaoyu, that is a human bone, you can't play with it, it's disrespectful to the dead, if you want to play, pick a cow bone." ”

Guan Li followed the direction she was pointing and saw the bones piled up next to her like a small mountain bag, and the vomiting sound was louder.

...

There was nothing to vomit, Guan Li cheered up and looked around. I didn't expect this look, and I felt even more bitter in my heart.

This is a valley, the whole valley is shrouded in a thin light mist, although the light is abundant, the glowing white light mist still crosses the fairy aura of everything in front of you.

The mountain in the distance is majestic and ethereal, although the shape of the mountain can be seen, Guan Li can not understand very well, walking for three days and three nights may not be able to walk to the bottom of the mountain. In addition to the deep pools they had just drilled, there were more small pools large and small in front of them, as far as the eye could see...

Without exception, there are several motionless green bamboos growing on the edge of each pool, which are still on the surface, because when they move, there must be a time when a living person sees blood or goes out to find a corpse to eat. Fortunately, these bamboo-wielding insects are quite mild, and will not actively attack people unless they smell blood.

In addition to the bamboo, the ponds are irregularly dotted with dozens of small dwarf trees with scattered red fruits the size of fingernails. He stepped forward and picked one up, and was about to take a closer look, when Chi Jing hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" ”

It's a pity that it's too late.

After the fruit broke away from the tree, it immediately emitted a rich sweet fragrance, and a large amount of saliva was quickly secreted from the empty mouth of Guan Li, who had vomited out his stomach. He didn't know what Chi Jing was saying beside him, his eyes glowed with greed, looking at the delicate and pleasing red fruit in his hand, he only felt hungry, and he wanted to swallow all the red fruits. And he did—

Who? Who threw down the fruit he was about to eat to the ground? I don't care about you!

Guan Li was furious, waved away that hand, and a cloud of dry heat rose from the bottom of his heart, so hot that he almost scratched his heart and liver! It is like a gluttonous mouth growing out of my heart, constantly clamoring to eat! To eat! He's going to eat!

Obeying the desire of his heart, he leaned down again, and his hand trembled a little because of his longing to the extreme, and he hastily plucked another fruit, and found that the smell of this fruit was more fragrant and sweeter than the previous one!

Just before he could put it in his mouth again, the fruit was slammed to the ground again! Guan Li's red eyes were full of fierce light, and he raised his head and looked at Chi Jing as if he was going to eat people, intending to go crazy.

Chi Jing took out the small green porcelain bottle in his arms at any time for emergencies, and after pulling out the cork, a burst of mint fragrance came out, and it shook under Guan Li's nose.

The heat in Guan Li's heart suddenly subsided, and his eyes became clear.

"Mr. Jiang..."Guan Li hugged his fists, knowing that the old gentleman in front of him had once again extended a helping hand to him, and he was very gracious.

Chi Jing waved her hand, she took out two small bamboo tubes from the burden behind her back, handed one of them to him and said, "Guan Zhuangshi, please put the fruit in your hand." ”

Guan Li hurriedly threw the red fruit in his hand into it. I saw that she used two sticks as chopsticks, picked up the fruit he had thrown on the ground before, put it in, and then closed it.

Opening another bamboo tube, she walked towards Xiaoyu: "God has the virtue of a good life, Xiaoyu, don't play all to death, leave a few for the teacher." ”

Guan Li looked at the back of this pair of strange masters and apprentices, what a strange person, a famous teacher is a high apprentice! They were not affected by the smell of the fruit at all! Just now, when he smelled the strange fragrance of the fruit, he only felt an urge in his heart to devour everything he saw in front of him, and this impulse was fierce and fierce, and he could not suppress it at all.

If he did, would he eat everything he saw? shivered, and just saw the strange-looking little fish girl squatting by the broken bamboo.

The little fish girl is still poking those red maggots with a bone, but it is obviously not the human bone before, and the red maggots on the ground are poked one by one, flowing pink slurry and white maggot flesh...

"Gross." Guan Li began to retch again. When he turned around again, he found that Chi Jing had closed the other bamboo tube...

No, Mr. Jiang really wants to bring these red maggots back? Thinking so, he couldn't help but ask: "What's the use of Mr. Jiang bringing these back?" ”

"Uh..."Chi Jing actually didn't know what to do when he took it back, but he just felt that if he wanted to take a sample back, even if he didn't study it, it would be good to study it for the famous doctor. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't take medicine, maybe this thing is very replenishing? It is said that all maggots have a high protein content.

Nothing can be said to anyone. Chi Jing didn't hide it, and replied: "Perhaps, you can take it back and try whether it is steamed or braised and delicious." ”

In the valley, the sound of men retching echoed endlessly.
