Chapter 20: The little squirrel cries for help
Subsequently, Liu Xiaoxu led He Zhixing into the room and taught the other party to make a delicious duck neck.
He Zhixing listened very carefully, and if he didn't understand something, he humbly asked for advice, and Liu Xiaoxu would also answer it on the spot.
However, this person's talent in cooking is really poor. Either too much salt is put in and the duck neck is salty, or the heat is too big and the duck neck is mush...... In short, the situation continues.
Until the sun sets, the duck neck has not been made once.
On the contrary, it was Liu Xiaoxu, who was so tired that his mouth was dry, his throat was smoking, and he drank a few large scoops of water.
In the end, there was really no way, Liu Xiaoxu simply found a pen and paper, wrote down the detailed methods of the exquisite duck neck, and told him to practice diligently every day.
Ho Chi Heng was very grateful.
This day was spent in a busy way.
At night, Liu Xiaoxu returned to the hut, closed the door, jumped on the bed happily, and opened the sandalwood box that He Zhixing gave him during the day.
In the box, a gray-brown pill was quietly displayed in it. The surface of the pill is bright, and a faint medicinal fragrance emanates from the pill.
Liu Xiaoxu sniffed deeply, his face beaming. With the painkiller pill, the chances of participating in the Xianmen assessment are undoubtedly a few points greater!
In the midst of the excitement, a rapid squeak and scream suddenly came from outside the house.
Liu Xiaoxu's heart moved, and he hurriedly put away the painkiller pill and opened the door.
Outside, a small squirrel was crouching in the doorway. The little squirrel's body was as white as snow, and its fur was smooth, but it was only one of its front paws, but it was bloody, and it was not lightly injured.
"Little squirrel, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xiaoxu was taken aback and hurriedly hugged the little squirrel into his arms.
"Squeak squeak!" the little squirrel squeaked, waving its uninjured front paws.
Liu Xiaoxu looked at it carefully for a while, and said tentatively: "You mean, your nest was invaded by a python, and your wound was also bitten by a python?"
"Squeak ......" The little squirrel responded weakly twice, suddenly drooped his little head, and fainted on the spot.
Liu Xiaoxu was shocked, and hurriedly checked the wound of the little squirrel.
The color of the wound was bright red, not blackened, it seems that the little squirrel was not poisoned, and the reason why he passed out in a coma was only caused by excessive bleeding.
Liu Xiaoxu thought about it, tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes, bandaged the front paws of the little squirrel, and then put it in the quilt to let it rest.
Since knocking down the tube to poop, Liu Xiaoxu has never disturbed the life of the little squirrel. Unexpectedly, the little squirrel was invaded by a python just after a few days of peace, which was really unlucky.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Liu Xiaoxu woke up leisurely.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the little squirrel squatting on the side of the pillow, and a pair of mung bean eyes looked at him, dripping and turning.
"Squeak!" Seeing Liu Xiaoxu wake up, the little squirrel squeaked twice.
Liu Xiaoxu stretched, sat up from the bed, looked at the little squirrel and said, "Little one, I saved your life last night, how can you repay me?"
"Squeak, squeak!" the little squirrel blinked a few times, and his little paw gestured twice.
"You're saying you're willing to give me ten spirit fruits in return, but I need to take care of you before you're healed?
"Squeak!" the little squirrel nodded vigorously.
"Oh, you pay a little little, I first saved your life, and then I have to serve you like a nanny, and I have to help you drive away the python like a bodyguard, I help you do so much, you have to give me at least twenty spirit fruits, right?"
"Squeak squeak!" protested the little squirrel.
"Okay, okay, then fifteen spirit fruits, fifteen spirit fruits will be fine, right?"
Liu Xiaoxu had a barrier-free communication with the little squirrel, and after some cross-racial bargaining, the number of fruits was finally set at fifteen.
Then the little squirrel lay on the pillow on all fours, poked his belly with his little paws, and squeaked twice, as if to say, "Brother, I'm hungry, go and give me something to eat." ”
Liu Xiaoxu is angry and funny, this little thing is really missing, and he has called himself so quickly.
Speaking of which, this little squirrel is also quite human, and it can understand what he says. And the meaning it wants to express through body language can be roughly understood by yourself.
At this time, Liu Xiaoxu was also a little hungry.
With a move in his heart, he picked up the tail of the little squirrel, lifted it into the air, and said, "Little squirrel, didn't you say that a python has invaded your nest?
"Squeak!" the little squirrel nodded when he heard this, and his little tail wagged happily.
"Let's go!" Liu Xiaoxu put the little squirrel on his shoulder and went out the door humming a little song.
Liu Xiaoxu did not go straight to the little squirrel's den, but went to the room first and gathered people. After all, he is also very afraid of such a thing as a python.
As soon as they heard that Liu Xiaoxu was going to catch snakes, everyone was eager to try, carrying kitchen knives and axes one by one, and followed Liu Xiaoxu to the little squirrel's nest. Sure enough, I saw a two-zhang long green python entrenched in the nest.
Catching snakes is such a thing, so naturally there is no need to bother Liu Xiaoxu to do it himself.
Someone suggested that the python should be lured down the tree with bait first, and then the python would be subdued, so everyone began to set traps and bait.
Soon, the python was lured by the bait, got down the tree, and dozens of people rushed up with kitchen knives and axes, and cut them all indiscriminately, cutting the python to pieces, and dying so much that he couldn't die anymore.
Back in the room, Liu Xiaoxu made a hearty snake soup soup, and everyone who saw it had a share.
All the members of the room ate a beautiful meal, and the little squirrel ate two large bowls with tears, tears glistening with excitement.
It's never eaten such delicious food!
Since Liu Xiaoxu made a meal of snake soup, the little squirrel has appreciated his superb cooking skills, and since then he has eaten the marrow and knows the taste, every day Liu Xiaoxu goes to the room, it will hang on Liu Xiaoxu's body like a koala, and go to the room to eat and drink.
Within a few days, my body gained a lot of weight.
And the little squirrel's injury has gradually healed under the conditioning of these days.
But Liu Xiaoxu found that after the little squirrel was injured, he didn't have the slightest consciousness of leaving, and he knew that he was relying on himself every day, and as soon as he made something delicious, he would go up and rub two bites.
Liu Xiaoxu was a little unhappy.
On this day, he looked at the little squirrel that was fatter than before, and said with a serious face: "Now that your injuries have healed, why are you still not leaving?"
The little squirrel blinked a few times, squatted on the ground, and gestured with his two little paws in the air, which seemed to say: "Brother, I have been injured for a hundred days, don't look at my injury on the surface, in fact, the bones are still broken." ”
"Bullshit!" Liu Xiaoxu rolled his eyes and pointed to its two happily dancing little claws: "You look like you have broken bones? Who are you blinding? I think you just want to cheat and eat and drink!"
"Squeak squeak......" The little squirrel saw that the lie was exposed, and pretended to be pitiful again, and looked at Liu Xiaoxu aggrievedly, the two mung bean eyes blinked, and before they knew it, tears flashed, and they actually cried!
"It's useless to sell cuteness and miserable! I don't raise idlers here...... Don't raise idle mice!" Liu Xiaoxu glared at the little squirrel and said unceremoniously.
"Squeak squeak!" the little squirrel couldn't help but get anxious, and the two little paws began to gesture again.
Liu Xiaoxu squinted for a while and asked, "You mean, you are willing to give me a spirit fruit every day, as a transaction, I have to take care of your food and your accommodation?"
"Squeak!" the little squirrel nodded vigorously.
Liu Xiaoxu glared at him and said angrily: "There is only one fruit, and you want to exchange it for food and accommodation?
"Squeak squeak!" When the little squirrel heard this, his cheeks instantly puffed up, and he squeaked at Liu Xiaoxu, as if he was protesting.
"You say that I am a lion with a big mouth, okay, okay, then I will be very kind, just give me four spirit fruits every day, four spirit fruits can't be bought, you can't be fooled, you deserve it!"
"Squeak squeak!"
"What? You said three spirit fruits? No, no, three spirit fruits are too few, if you only give three spirit fruits a day, it will not be a package of food and accommodation, only food and not food!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
In the end, the little squirrel still compromised and was willing to pay four spirit fruits a day in exchange for food and lodging.
Liu Xiaoxu was overjoyed in his heart, although he wouldn't be hungry now, he still valued the spirit fruit. Because every time you take the spirit fruit, not only can you offset the hunger in your stomach, but the whole body is even warmer, just like soaking in a hot spring, and the exhaustion is swept away.
Liu Xiaoxu felt that this spirit fruit must have an effect that he didn't know.
Eat more, it certainly doesn't hurt!
