Chapter Seventy-Four: Dry or Thin?
I was used to getting up early, and Li Yu woke up before dawn the next day, and the others were still asleep.
By the light of the fire, he lightly avoided the crowd and went to a no-man's corner of the cave to start exercising, trying not to make a noise to disturb others.
Half an hour later, Li Yu was already sweating profusely and stopped to rest with his back against the stone wall.
At this time, the sky outside the cave was already bright, and people woke up one after another.
There was a slight sound of footsteps not far away, and Li Yu turned to look.
More than ten meters away from him, a beautiful female leader dressed in white appeared there, holding a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other.
The beautiful leader also saw Li Yu in the corner, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued to walk towards the depths of the cave with a torch, and disappeared around the corner in a few clicks.
Looking at the direction in which the leader disappeared, Li Yu scratched his head, what was she doing in the depths of the cave alone early in the morning?
Although he was curious, Li Yu didn't follow to find out because of curiosity.
There were already people outside who started to light a fire and cook, and when they had nothing to do, Li Yu took a break and continued to exercise his body with those shallow movements.
After another half an hour like this, Li Yu stopped his movements and rested with a fever, without the flesh and blood support of special animals, the effect of the exercise could not be felt at all.
During the break, Li Yu saw the beautiful leader come out of the depths of the cave.
Her expression was still cold, like an iceberg, but her skin was slightly red, her breathing was a little chaotic, and there was a trace of sweat on her forehead.
The beautiful female leader glanced at Li Yu, nodded slightly, and walked away.
Looking at the back of the beautiful female leader, Li Yu looked at the depths of the dark cave again, and was curious, what did she do inside?
I couldn't figure it out, Li Yu simply didn't want to, and he didn't have the heart to find out, so as not to offend the leader.
Soon after, the sound of opening a meal sounded in the cave, and suddenly the atmosphere of the whole cave became eager.
Li Yu went over and found that there were three cauldrons lined up in the middle of the cave, two pots were steaming white rice porridge, and the other pot was a pot of wild vegetables.
They met with Li Dashu, and several people looked at each other, they didn't have a bowl after the meal.
"A few little brothers, I'm looking for you everywhere, it turns out that you are here, you don't know the situation when you first arrive, come with me" At this time, Yue Yang's voice sounded behind Li Yu.
Li Yu turned around, looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
It's all open, don't you want to give us food? Although we are new to the city, we don't need to treat them so differently, Li Yu said secretly in his heart at this time.
"Just come," Yue Yang said with a smile.
Let's go, Li Yu felt that if we didn't have any food, we would just leave, and we didn't stop working, we just came.
Several people followed Yue Yang and left the place where the meal was opened.
In less than a minute, they entered a fork in the hole, turned a few corners, and suddenly opened up before them, and there was a large cave hall with torches around it, which illuminated the place.
In the middle of this cave hall, there are two large cauldrons, one pot is white rice, the other pot is stir-frying, and you can also see meat!
There was already a long queue on the side of the two pots, and at least a hundred people were receiving the food one by one, and the bowls of the people who got the food were full of food.
"I'll take you to get the dishes and chopsticks, I'll talk about it later," Yue Yang said after coming here.
Li Yu glanced at them, didn't say anything, and followed Yue Yang.
got the dishes and chopsticks, lined up to receive the meal, even if it was the last, Li Yu and the others also got a rich meal.
Li Yu was still wondering why there were two places to eat, and they were obviously treated differently.
The people who got the food in this cave each found a place to gobble up, and Yue Yang took Li Yu and them to the side and found a random place to squat down to eat.
During the meal, Yue Yang said: "Because you are here for the first time, I have to give you a good meal, and if you want to eat good food in the future, it depends on how you choose."
Swallowing a mouthful of food, Li Yu was puzzled and asked, "Can Brother Yue explain it clearly?" I didn't understand."
"Here's the thing, now there are nearly 400 people in this cave, men, women and children, the reason why they are treated differently is for a reason, people outside eat porridge and wild vegetables because they usually don't participate in dangerous actions, while we people here can eat white rice and even meat because we pay more than them, and our lives are in danger at any time."
"To be more specific, people outside usually only move around the cave, collecting firewood, digging wild vegetables, cutting wood, cleaning, etc., similar to non-dangerous work they do, so they can only eat porridge and wild vegetables, and we people here need to risk hunting, go to the town to find food, and have their heads tied to their belts, so they can eat white rice and meat, understand?" Yue Yang patiently explained.
"I understand, if you want to get good treatment, you have to pay more than others," Li Yu said suddenly.
Yue Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since you understand, then I'll ask you now, do you want to eat white rice and meat or porridge and wild vegetables?" I'm just routinely asking and definitely not forcing you how to choose in you"
Li Yu took a bite of the food, chewed and swallowed, looked up at Yue Yang, and said, "I want to eat rice and meat."
"Got it figured? Once you decide, you can't go back," Yue Yang asked with a smile.
"You've figured it out!"
Yue Yang nodded, looked at Li Dashu who was gobbling up on the side and asked, "What about you?" ”
"I'm with Li Yu, and I also want to eat rice and meat," Li Dashu said without raising his head.
Although Li Yu and Li Dashu were not adults, their physique was there, and Yue Yang was obviously very happy about their choice, so he turned to look at Wang Xiaoshan and the brothers and said, "You ......"
"We also want to eat rice and meat, together," Wang Xiaoshan replied.
Yue Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "That's not good, you are too small, your little arms and legs are not suitable for dangerous actions, otherwise we are disregarding human life, so you can only do what you can."
Yue Yang said it relatively tactfully, the meaning was obvious, Wang Xiaoshan and the brothers could only eat porridge and wild vegetables, after all, the physique and age were there.
The Wang Xiaoshan brothers understood Yueyang's extraneous voice and were dumbfounded on the spot.
"We are powerful, no worse than ordinary people, why can't we eat rice and meat?" Stunned for a moment, Wang Xiaoshan said eagerly unconvinced.
Yue Yang shook his head and said, "Obedient, you are still young, this is good for you"
"No, we want to eat rice and meat, we are with Brother Li and them," Wang Xiaoshi said stubbornly.
Yue Yang was helpless, looked at Li Yu and said, "They are really not suitable, you persuade them"
Li Yu lowered his head, thought for a while, looked at Yue Yang and said, "Brother Yue, they want to eat white rice and meat, why don't you give them a chance?" ”
"But they're still young, so they're really not suitable," Yue Yang said helplessly.
After taking a bite of the meal, Li Yu continued: "Don't look at them small, their physique doesn't have to be bad for adults, give them a chance."
"Well, what we have is strength," Wang Xiaoshan and the two brothers nodded immediately.
After pondering for a moment, Yue Yang looked at the two brothers and said, "That's it, don't say it, I won't give you a chance, give you a small test, if you pass, how about eating white rice and meat together in the future?" ”
"What test?" Wang Xiaoshan asked, vaguely worried.
Yue Yang pointed to a person on the side and said: "It's very simple, you wrestle with him, and if you win, you are qualified to eat white rice and meat, and if you lose, you will be obedient, rest assured, I don't deliberately embarrass you, his strength is average among our people."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoshan and the brothers subconsciously looked at Li Yu.
The person who was concentrating on eating on the side also heard the conversation here, and looked up at Li Yu and grinned at them at this time.
This is a young man of about twenty years old, already an adult, with average physique.
"Let them try," Li Yu thought for a moment and said.
Yue Yang nodded and said to the young man, "Did you hear that?" Don't hurry up yet."
"Okay, good now, kid, why are you so stubborn, it's all for you to be so biased" The other party muttered and got up and walked over.
The situation here is watched by the people around me, and they all looked at it curiously when they were eating.
It's just a wrist wrestler, it's not complicated.
Everyone watched, but the result was that the young man lost, and the Wang Xiaoshan brothers won him!
"It can't be, right?" The young man had a grimace on his face.
Don't talk about him, everyone around him who saw it looked surprised.
"How?" Li Yu looked at Yue Yang and asked.
Yue Yang looked at Wang Xiaoshan and the brothers were speechless and said: "What else, they will also eat white rice and meat in the future, these two little guys, I can't see it, I have a lot of strength."
Speaking of this, Yue Yang said to the surroundings: "Everyone has seen it, they are still young, take care of them more in the future"
Li Yu smiled and said nothing, he didn't feel too surprised by this result, don't look at Wang Xiaoshan's brothers, but after eating snake meat, their physique is no worse than that of normal adults......
