Chapter 44: Beef Stew

ο»Ώ

I also felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that there are all houses in this neighborhood, and I should have found the well after walking with the fat man for so long. The fat man smashed his mouth and said: "Nerd, don't fool me with those black and white words, or the leader is right, practice brings the truth, what is written in the book is not necessarily reliable, then what river water goes underground, it is estimated that it is all blind." ”

My mouth was so dry that I didn't even have the heart to speak, the thirst made the whole person very anxious, and even the tone of talking with the fat man was a little rushed, I couldn't help but think of the time in the Devil's Domain, there was no water, no food, the same scorching sun, I and A Ning were shuttling there in a daze, that kind of desperate mood, I didn't want to have a second time.

A-Ning is dead, the body has long since decomposed in that ditch, and I am still alive. Yes, I'm still alive.

I swallowed, but my mouth was dry, and I didn't swallow anything in my throat. Then, I tugged at the fat man's clothes and said, "Let's go, there is no end to the road." The fat man wiped his sweat and stood up, and said, "You crow's mouth, when good words come out of your mouth, I feel unreliable." I glared at the fat man, ignored him, and walked in a direction.

The sun in the sky is very scorching, the scorching heat shines down, the sequelae of snow blindness makes my eyes dazzle, photophobic squinting and opening again, the fat man's physical strength is better than mine, and he slept for another night, and he walked in front of me in a short time, and I don't know how he found the way, anyway, no one knows the road now, and can only rely on luck to find the well, so I didn't speak, and followed the fat man.

Because I was afraid of light, I didn't look up, I kept looking down at the fat man's big ass, and I went wherever the ass was. I don't know how long it took, when the two legs had already walked and trembled, the fat man suddenly stopped, I was thinking about water at this time, I couldn't help but fantasize about lakes, mountain springs, I wanted to become a fish swimming in the river, I was trying to quench my thirst with water, one didn't pay attention, and directly hit the fat man's back.

The fat man's stinky sweat was a little sour, and this collision almost didn't smoke me to death, so I quickly took a step back, covered my nose and scolded: "Dead fat man, this smell on your body, cockroaches can be smoked to death by you." ”

The fat man was not happy, wiped his sweat, and said: "Damn, you haven't taken a bath for seven or eight days, it's not as fragrant as me, and you actually dislike your good brother who was born and died, no, even if the situation is critical, I must re-educate you spiritually." After saying that, he gritted his teeth and reached out to grab me, I was already tired and out of breath, how did I know that the fat man was so energetic, and as soon as he grabbed me, he pressed my face to his chest.

The pectoral muscles are almost catching up with A-Ning's cup, the fat man has a lot of strength, I was pressed and didn't break open for a while, and the sour smell came over, and I was almost smoked to death.

In fact, the fat man is a little stinky and beautiful, in the words of young people, it is mixed with sullenness in the Ming Sao, and it seems that he does not pay attention to appearance on weekdays, but in Banai, we borrowed the time when we lived in Agui's house, and the three of them were crowded into a room, and the kid also avoided the little brother, hid in bed and asked me: "Innocent, is there any perfume." ”

I said, "Old man, what kind of perfume do you use, your head has been gnawed by a dog." Later, I learned that he wanted to chase the clouds, and in the days when he didn't borrow perfume, he sneaked to pick wild chrysanthemums early in the morning to wash his face, and then came up to me and asked: "Alas, smell it, is it fragrant?" ”

My stomach hurt from laughter at the time, and I pointed at him and said, "Guangxiang has a fart, and he has the ability to change the little brother's face." The fat man was hit and defended with a depressed face: "Yun Cai is not that kind of person, she doesn't like little white faces." ”

This time I went to Beijing, when he came to pick me up, he also wore a particularly sassy black leather pants and black jacket, this old fat man said that men can't be formalistic, in fact, they pay special attention to the image, it seems that I think he stinks this time. stepped on the fat man's tail bone, so he had to quickly beg for mercy: "I was wrong, it's fragrant, it's as fragrant as old Beijing sauerkraut." ”

After saying that, I felt that the more I spoke, the more wrong it became, the fat man was really angry, pinched my neck and scolded: "Innocent comrade, you fucking deliberate, live impatiently......" He was halfway through his words, and suddenly let go of the hand that was holding my neck, and sniffed vigorously around.

His grandmother's, this dead fat man is really not an ordinary, doesn't he just say that he is ugly, as for the confirmation of sniffing and sniffing? I cleared my throat and was just about to comfort the fat man, when he suddenly turned his head to the side and said, "Innocent, do you smell anything?" ”

I saw that his expression was wrong, so I also sniffed, and suddenly the smell of sweat on our bodies came to my nose, in order not to hit the fat man, I considered the wording, and said: "A little bit of old Beijing sauerkraut." In fact, my mouth is dry now, and I don't want to say a word, but the fat man's throat slid a little, his eyes stared straight at a deep alley, and he smashed his mouth and said: "What old Beijing sauerkraut, fat man, I smell the smell of meat, go, go over and take a look." ”

Meaty?

I sniffed hard, trying to ignore the smell of sweat, and found that there was a faint smell of meat in the air.

Is it hard to get anyone around here?

Is it passerby A or surnamed Zhang?

The fat man's throat kept sliding, and I couldn't resist the temptation, and the two of them were like dogs, sniffing their noses and tiptoeing down the alley. The alley is deep and surrounded by mud and stone houses, but the houses are taller and more complex, and it is clear that it was once supposed to be a gathering place for the wealthy.

The fat man and I turned around several times in search of taste, and suddenly the alley came to the end, and at the end was a clearing, about the courtyard of a rich family, and at this moment, in the middle of the courtyard, a bonfire was burning, and a clay pot of earthy brown was set up on the fire, and the top was steaming, as if something was being stewed.

The fire was about to burn out, but there was no one around.

Although I was seduced by the smell of this meat stomach gurgling, but still alert around the search, as far as the eye can see, there is no figure, just when I am still carefully observing, the fat man has already farted and ran over, everything around him was forgotten, I can't help but want to beat people, this dead fat man, too undisciplined, as soon as I see food, my head will become tofu scum.

By this time, the fat man had already kicked out the bonfire, his mouth kept swallowing, and he pulled out the dagger from his waist, ready to go and fish for the contents of the pot.

I saw that the old fat man had no sense of crisis at all, so I hurriedly stepped forward to block his hand and said, "Damn, I don't know if there is any rat medicine in it, you really dare to eat it." ”

That being said, but the pot of meat was at my feet, I glanced at it, the water was still bubbling, and the large pieces of meat were rolling slightly in it, making a gurgling sound, looking at it, my mouth that had been dry for a long time actually secreted saliva automatically, and I was hungry and thirsty for a day and a night.

The fat man completely took my words as a deaf ear, and directly inserted a piece of meat into his mouth with a dagger, his eyes were about to glow green, and after eating, he pointed to the side and said: "There is a packaging bag, it should be the group surnamed Qi." ”

I looked in the direction of the fat man's finger, near the fire, sure enough, there were a few bags that had been roasted and deformed, it seemed that the stew was compressed beef, the fat man took a bite, pulled me to sit down, inserted a piece of beef and sent it to my mouth, at this time I can still hold back, I am a god, a bite of beef to eat, the hungry stomach suddenly stirred into a piece, gurgling, asking for more.

The fat man and I no longer cared about any danger, any mouse medicine, and immediately turned into wolves, each of us stuck a dagger into the meat inside, and ate a pot of beef stew cleanly.

There is no seasoning in this meat, it is very light, but the meat aroma is still there, and the compressed beef becomes soft as soon as it is cooked.

After the two of us ate the beef, the clay pot was not so hot, the fat man directly picked up the pot and poured the soup to drink, it was simply not ventilated, we drank half of it, after eating, the stomach was swollen and bulging, the fat man was just like a pregnant woman who was ten months old, the beef was already rising, I didn't feel it when I ate it, now half of the meat and half of the soup are poured down, we can't stand up, our hands are on the ground, and our stomachs are panting.

The taste of hunger and thirst was finally driven away, and the two of us were the same as in the world, the fat man snorted, and then said: "Life, how beautiful, the fat man wants to make a poem for himself." ”

I gave him a blank look, just like in the sketch, I can't read poetry, I can't understand it, write a fart poem.

Before I could express my opinion, the fat man had already begun to say: "The fat man is not afraid of difficult expeditions, thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for idle ......" I shook my head, and let the fat man change the words there blindly, and the poems of ** will completely change the taste in his mouth, which is really a cultural tumor.

The two of us sat in front of the clay pot and rested for a while before I was in the mood to think about the current situation.

Thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong, whether this beef is stewed by the surname Zhang, or stewed by passers-by, how can it be stewed, and the person will disappear? Looking at the cooking time of this beef, it should be about an hour, and the fat man and I have been eating and drinking here for more than half an hour, even if people go out, it will be time to come back here.

At this time, the fat man sighed: "Naive, how else to say that there are many people and great power, you see how luxurious this surnamed Qi is, white water stewed beef, in the desert, how many people can have this blessing." ”

I felt that something was wrong, so I said, "The last time we met passer-by A in the river, we didn't see them carrying a water tank or anything. "Water sources are precious in the desert, when we teamed up with the surname Zhang, we ate dried shredded beef, and only drank two sips of water at the end.

Speaking of water, I suddenly came to my senses and couldn't help but pat myself on the forehead. Before, I and the fat man in the city looking for water, is blindly blind, but now I look at the surrounding buildings to come back to the taste, in the ancient Western Regions, digging wells is a big project, in order to prevent the well from collapsing, and with stone reinforcement, manpower and material resources are not ordinary people can afford, generally only rich and noble, the family will dig wells, from the beginning, I and the fat man should go to the rich place, the house is big, where to go.

But I won't explain it to the fat man at this time, otherwise if he knows that I am confused for a while, and he has suffered so much loss, he will definitely have to be anxious with me.

After resting for a while, my stomach was not so uncomfortable, so I said to the fat man: "Get up, there should be a water source nearby, and the next road is still long, let's look around." ”

The fat man sat up with a carp and took our poor equipment, and prepared to go to the well, and we first picked a small alley, ready to start looking for it, and the fat man took the lead, and the fat body stepped on it, leaving a footprint in the sand.

I didn't take a few steps after the fat man, and suddenly I felt a chill in my heart.

Wrong!

I quickly looked down to see that on the thin layer of sand on the ground, there were only the footprints of me and the fat man.

Isn't there anyone here at all?

So who stewed this pot of beef?

Seeing that I hadn't left, the fat man turned around and shouted: "Naive comrade, hurry up and follow, don't get too far from the troops." I swallowed my saliva, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said to the fat man, he frowned and thought about it, and then waved his hand and said: "It's windy in this desert, more than an hour, it's normal to cover up the footprints, naΓ―ve comrade, why does the fat man think that you have turned a little grass and trees into ice recently." ”

I couldn't help but correct him: "It's all grass and trees." ”

The fat man shrugged indifferently, he was used to me correcting his wrong idioms, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, when the sky falls, I will press the fat man first, what are you thinking about." ”

As soon as the fat man said this, I felt that I had been too cautious, so I stopped saying anything, followed him, and began to search this rich gathering area.
