Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Pomegranate of Flesh
"What kind of footprints are these?" Zhu Zhigang had never seen it before, so when he saw this kind of footprint, he turned his head and asked Song Qingli, and then saw that Lao Song also shook his head suspiciously, so he chased the footprints and walked forward, and after walking not far, he heard the sound of running water in front of him.
The two of them looked around and unconsciously walked out of the space just now, and the place where they were at this time turned out to be like a large aquarium, the water inside was crystal clear, and the light in this place was suddenly much better, and then looked into the water, there were several huge whitebait rolling back and forth in the water.
"So big?"
The back of the silverfish occasionally shows the water surface when swimming, and it looks as big as a dustpan, which is in the inland area, and how can there be such a heavy rain in this cold and high-altitude hypoxic area, think about the largest fish in Qinghai Lake is only a few catties in weight, and it has grown for many years.
Isn't it possible that the fish here are fine?
The fish is too big, people who want to eat fish must not be able to eat it, these fish are not bad if they don't eat people, for Zhu Zhigang and Song Qingli, these two guys are now hungry and want to cry and dare not step into the water for half a step.
"What do you say these fish eat?" Zhu Zhigang suddenly thought about a question, and then asked Song Qingli.
That's right, how did these fish survive in such clear water, and they can live so well, the heavier the tonnage, the greater the amount of food.
So the two of them stared at the fish in the water, trying to see how they were feeding, but they waited left and right, and there were no creatures growing under the water, and there were no other living creatures, until a few hours later, several big fish quickly escaped into the bottom of the water and stretched out, and then struggled to swim up.
"Wow"
"Whoa·····
A boat-sized fish jumped high with the water, opened its mouth a few feet high on the surface of the water and fell down into the water, and then the remaining big fish jumped up in turn, this scene shocked Zhu Zhigang and Song Qingli The palms and backs of their hands were sweaty, and even their backs were wet with long sweat.
There are a few big fish under the ancient tombs of this desolate snow-capped mountain, and they can jump high like dolphins in the acrobatic troupe?
"There's something on it"
The location of Zhu Zhigang and Song Qingli happened to be blocked by the mountain rocks, and they couldn't see what was above the waterhole, and they could only see it clearly on the edge of the waterhole, but they might be attacked by giant fish near the waterhole, but now the two of them were really hungry, and it was better to fight than starve to death.
For Zhu Zhigang and Song Qingli, these two people are rats, although they are two big men, but their faces are very afraid of death, watching the big fish swimming in the water, there is an inexplicable feeling of egg pain and Mimi swelling in their hearts, "Gurgling ······" However, this mood lasted for a while and was occupied by the hunger in the stomach, and the two discussed it and came to the water's edge together.
At this time, the two of them found that there were huge branches growing above the waterhole, and there were fat fruits hanging on the branches, and it was the fat fruit that attracted the giant fish, and the big fish just now was after diving, and then jumped up to reach the fruit, which may not be very deep when looking at the water surface, but it can jump up more than a foot high, and it is extremely deep below the waterhole.
When the whitebait saw someone coming, they swam over one after another, and Song Qingli was so frightened that he retreated far back, and said in his heart, why is this fish so fierce!
I don't know if the whitebait was also worried about the idea of the two of them to hunt the huge fruit, which was their food, how could it be shared with other species, so when they saw the two of them coming, they swirled in the water like wild dogs with bared teeth.
"This fucking fish still knows how to protect food, what should I do?" Song Qingli was already so hungry that his eyes were black at this time, he had suffered this kind of suffering before, even in the revolutionary era, his father had never let him suffer this kind of sin, which may also be a reason why he didn't know how to be grateful.
Zhu Zhigang said: "What else can I do, don't you still have dark paper?" Fold two out, then climb up, pick one down and taste it, this fruit looks quite big, one or two should fill your stomach."
Song Qingli said that he only had the last piece of paper left, and the girl of the paper had a time limit, and she could only fold it once or twice in a day, and she had already folded it once before entering this tomb, and she hadn't recovered yet. In fact, he can't wait to recover quickly, the feeling in this cave makes him very uncomfortable, whether it is a huge silverfish or Zhu Zhigang, it is not a good stubble in his opinion, what he always believes is actually just himself.
Zhu Zhigang said in his heart, even if you believe in your evil, people, people who always drop the chain when they are used cannot be trusted, and he also does not trust what Song Qingli said, so he took out a small knife from his bag and then cut a few thorns, connected them together, and added a thin wire to make a set, and then stretched out his arms, standing at the water's edge and taking advantage of the silverfish swimming a little farther away, a little closer to the fruit.
Although the tools were simple, the first two fruits fell in the pool, and a few silverfish scrambled to grab it, but after all, he still let one down, and when the silverfish reacted, Zhu Zhigang and Song Qingli had already escaped from the edge of the pool with the fruits.
The two of them looked at the fruit in their arms, it was really big, several times bigger than a coconut, but neither of them knew this thing, there was a thick layer of skin outside, they didn't know how to eat, the two of them looked at it for a long time, and finally they could only cut it with a knife, and then the things inside fell out.
It turned out to be a pomegranate, and there were grains of flesh inside, but it was full of fishy smell and a fishy smell of meat.
Song Qingli was so frightened that he threw it on the ground all of a sudden, this thing turned out to be a meat pomegranate, and the thing that grew out of it turned out to be meat!
"How can this thing ······, Brother Zhu, do you think there are really any plants in this world that can grow into animal tissues?" Song Qingli asked with palpitations. Zhu Zhigang said: "Actually, this thing may not be real meat, lion's mane mushroom looks like meat, but it is not, this thing may also be a kind of mushroom or something, just like a fungal mushroom, it must not work to eat it raw."
"How to eat"
"Stir-frying is definitely unrealistic, but boiling into a pot of mushroom soup must taste extremely beautiful", the two of them peeled off the meat pomegranate and found that there was half a pot, if it was cooked, the amount was enough for the two of them to eat a full meal and there was still leftover.
The two of them were already hungry and light-headed, and soon the water in the pot was boiling, and when it was steaming, the aroma in the pot also came to their noses, and the two of them watched the flesh in the pot roll in the water like "meatballs", not to mention how gratifying, if it wasn't for the fact that they had just rolled up now, they would have fished it out.
It's just that it doesn't need to be hot yet, and the person who came sat down again, leaning back against the pot, out of sight and out of mind, anyway, this soup needs to be simmered on low heat to make it more flavorful, and I don't care about these few minutes.
Along the way, hunger is one thing, and the greater suffering lies in tiredness and fatigue, now the two of them are idle and even doze off at the same time, Zhu Zhigang is still young after all, and he has no defenses when he sleeps, but Song Qingli is always thinking about the soup, and he woke up after a short while, and then when he wanted to see how the soup was boiling, he was suddenly stunned, and he grabbed the spoon in his hand and scratched it in the pot a few times, "Empty?" ”
Song Qingli's eyes turned red for a moment, and he grabbed Zhu Zhigang's collar and shouted: "Zhu Zhigang, did you fucking eat all the balls in the pot while I was sleeping?" ”
"Huh?" Zhu Zhigang woke up in a dream when he heard this, and then stared at the empty pot with only soup left, a kind of creepy spontaneous appearance, the contents of this pot are definitely not for the two of them to eat, is there anyone else!
