Chapter 8 The Source of Taste

"Do you smell it? It seems to be eaten! Ma Yuezong opened his eyes and stood up from under the tree excitedly. Not only him, but everyone else smelled the scent. The crowd, who hadn't eaten for most of the day, was swallowing their saliva and trying to sniff the smell, trying to find the source of the fragrance.

Especially Xu Jinbo, who had a larger appetite than ordinary people, he was already so hungry that his stomach was pantothenic acid, and after smelling the fragrance at this time, he swallowed his saliva frantically, eager to find someone to cook and eat a good meal.

"The smell seems to be wafting from here." Gao Xintao's nose is the most sensitive, and he locked the direction at once. He pointed to a dense forest in the east and said to the people, "Shall we go and see it together?" ”

"Okay, okay, I'm going crazy hungry!" Liang Xiaxia immediately echoed,

"Wait, don't you think it's weird?" Although Gu Meng himself was dizzy from hunger, he still kept his sanity in front of him: "This island itself is already very strange, you have all seen it, there are not even animals in the forest along the way, who will be here to eat in the middle of the night?" I don't think it's better not to go, lest there be danger......"

Her words were not unreasonable, which made everyone who was about to move suddenly hesitate. But as if he intended to do it with Gu Meng, the fragrance did not disappear, but became more intense. This flavor is rich and mellow, and the mouths of the people are overflowing.

"Coo-goo......" After smelling this smell, Gu Meng's stomach finally screamed out angrily. She blushed and lowered her head with her glasses, feeling her cheeks hot.

"I can't take care of it, is it possible that there are still ghosts hiding in the woods at night to cook and eat?" Xu Jinbo waved his hand and said, "Maybe it's the guys who got separated before!" ”

"That's right!" The eyes of the others lit up instantly, and they thought of Li Zeyan and his party: "Maybe it's really them!" Then let's go find them quickly, and we can meet them by the way. Ma Yuezong rubbed his hands, saying this, but his heart had already rushed to the source of the fragrance.

"But......" Gu Meng wanted to say something more, but the other four couldn't care about it anymore, seeing that they got up and walked towards the forest, Gu Meng had to hurriedly follow. Maybe it's because I'm too worried, maybe it's really that group of people who are getting food.

Comforting himself like this, Gu Meng quickened his pace.

……

After walking for about ten minutes, everyone finally saw the orange fire in the middle of the woods in front of them. And the scent was constantly coming from there, burrowing into their nostrils.

Everyone couldn't wait to speed up their pace, brushing aside the branches and weeds in front of them, and they finally saw that on an open ground, there was a black iron pot, and at this time, something was boiling in the pot. It's just strange that there is no one around except for this pot of soup.

Xu Jinbo couldn't bear the hunger for a long time, and rushed out with a brisk step. After watching the soup in the pot being stewed until golden brown, he moved his index finger even more, and couldn't help but pick up the spoon on the side, scoop a spoonful of soup and send it to his mouth.

The rich and fragrant soup entered his stomach and lifted his spirits: "It's delicious!" After saying that, he didn't care about anything else, scooped up another spoonful and drank it.

Seeing this, other people who were still worried about whether the soup was poisonous could no longer control themselves, and rushed forward to fight: "Give me a taste!" ”

"I want it too!"

"Wait for Lao Tzu to finish drinking first!" Xu Jinbo waved his hand, shocking the other three. Although he was unwilling, he knew that he couldn't beat the other party, so Ma Yuezong had to laugh and said, "Okay, okay, you drink first." Just remember to leave us a few bites......"

"You know each other." Xu Jinbo nodded with satisfaction and continued to scoop up the soup and drink it. The other three swallowed their saliva and looked at him with blank eyes, and at the same time they were distressed about this pot of soup, but don't be drunk up......

But this time, Xu Jinbo is also generous. After drinking about eight points full, looking at the soup that was missing more than half, he handed the spoon to Liang Xiaxia: "You are a woman, you drink first." ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Liang Xiaxia was grateful, and he didn't care about the taboo, so he directly scooped up the soup and poured it down.

It's probably been too long since I've been hungry, and when I get my first bite at this moment, I can imagine how wonderful it tastes. Liang Xiaxia let out a satisfied sigh, then scooped up another spoonful and drank it. However, the girl has a small appetite, and after about four or five spoonfuls, she is already full.

Gu Meng looked around and saw that no one was there for a long time, and he felt very strange in his heart. Seeing the others gobbling up, she suddenly hesitated a little when she was originally hungry.

After Gao Xintao took a few sips of soup, he noticed Gu Meng on the side. He looked at the soup that was about to bottom, and handed the spoon to Gu Meng: "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of you when I was too hungry just now." There's still a little left, so you can eat it. ”

Gu Meng took the spoon and walked to the iron pot. Smelling the aroma of the soup, the strange feeling in her heart became even stronger.

She tried to stir the pot with a spoon, only to find that there was nothing at the bottom of the pot. In other words, she still doesn't know what this soup is made of.

"Do you drink or not?" Xu Jinbo, who was on the side, saw that she had been stirring up for a long time, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you don't want to drink, give it to me." Don't waste it anyway. ”

"But then again, we drank up the soup without their permission, isn't that right?" Liang Xiaxia only remembered this incident after she was full, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"yes...... If the other party comes, we will explain to him and apologize. Gao Xintao said.

Under Xu Jinbo's urging, Gu Meng finally raised the spoon and scooped up a mouthful of soup.

Looking at the golden soup with oil in the spoon, she suddenly thought of something, and then threw the spoon away in fear.

"What are you doing? If you don't eat it, don't eat it, don't waste it! Ma Yuezong picked up the spoon from the ground distressedly, wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and then handed it to Xu Jinbo: "Big brother, you drink first, just give me two mouthfuls in a while." ”

"Hmm." Xu Jinbo nodded with satisfaction, and just wanted to scoop the soup, but was stopped by Gu Meng. Seeing that the girl's face was pale, and her lips couldn't stop trembling. She said tremblingly, "Don't drink it...... There's something wrong with this soup......"

"What's wrong?" The others were stunned and immediately got up and asked.

"No, this soup doesn't smell like a plant or mushroom stew, although you can't get anything, but you see: there is a layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup, which means that this is a pot of broth......"

Gu Meng's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, they were too anxious to drink just now, and they didn't care what the soup was made of. Now listen to her. Recall the palate, indeed, this should be a pot of broth.

"There's nothing alive in this forest, so I want to know what this pot of soup is made of."

While everyone was talking, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the forest behind them, as if someone was coming.

"Hey, someone's coming! Just ask him when the time comes! Gao Xintao said in surprise.

Everyone looked at the dark woods behind them with anticipation, and soon, they saw a figure walking out of the forest. It's just that after seeing this face, everyone's expressions changed from expectation to fear, and Liang Xiaxia was even more frightened and sat on the ground, her legs trembling.

"Is the soup I cooked good?" The middle-aged man, who had already died, looked at everyone treacherously and viciously, with an infiltrating smile on his face.
