022. Food chain
The sudden silence in the room could be heard by dropping the embroidery needle, and Fang Fei and Lin Yi were made to look at each other by this strange situation.
Lin Yi was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time, and Fang Fei was already laughing in his heart.
"Why are you still stunned? You're really not hungry..."Fang Feijiao snorted, her expression couldn't hide the taste of narrowness, as if she was smiling but not smiling.
"Alas~" Lin Yi sighed slightly, but pretended to shrug his shoulders chicly, in the face of such a eccentric wife and children, he could only be convinced, and he inevitably felt a little lonely when he turned away.
"Poof..."Fang Fei couldn't help but smile.
In this way, Fang Fei was holding the swaddling clothes in his left hand and eating porridge with a spoon in his right hand, his mood was refreshing, and his appetite was more fragrant.
Lin Yi went to the stove room and walked over with a bowl, and he also ate very deliciously. On the surface, Lin Yi's bowl is also peanut porridge, but in fact, this is a bowl of cold rice left over from yesterday, just mixed with a little hot porridge.
The shape of life is compelling, and Lin Yi's rough way of eating, Fang Fei has already handled it calmly.
However, Lin Yao, who was in swaddling clothes, noticed the food in their bowls and felt very surprised, and even wondered: What is this? What are they eating? Could it be the harvest of those humans who saw it yesterday......
In Lin Yao's memory more than 7,000 years ago, human beings were carnivorous creatures, and their staple food was birds and animals.
Since his thinking had been traced back to seven thousand years ago, Lin Yao also thought about it carefully, and really remembered an important matter, which may have a great relationship with the source of this food.
At that time, he was still a little toad demon who had just been transformed, and in the land of Nanling, he met a friend, and it was a toad demon. Shrimp toad and toad are easy to confuse in the eyes of humans, but if they are indeed closer to each other, they are commensurate with each other. During the years when the two demons got along, as a little toad demon who was unheard of in the cave, he naturally benefited a lot from a series of guidance from the toad brother, not only quickly improved his skills, but also had a basic understanding of the complex world.
At that time, the toad brother had nearly 2,000 years of cultivation, and he had been in the world for a thousand years, and the humans in the land of Nanling mostly fed on catching frogs, and the toads with delicate meat and large heads were favored by humans, and many of them fell into the hands of humans and became their delicacy. Brother Toad once said that the living conditions of Nanling are: frogs eat insects, poisonous insects eat human blood, and humans eat frog meat; the decline of the frog tribe is mainly because it has become a meal for human beings, and the death of human beings is mostly due to being bitten by poisonous insects, and most of the insects fall into the mouths of frogs; everything in the world is based on food, and it is impossible for human beings to stop predating, so in order for the frog tribe not to be wiped out by human beings, then we have to avoid it, away from places where there are human beings, but evasion is not a good way after all, and it is not a long-term solution.
The shrimp toad demon asked at that time, what is the better way to change that state of existence. Brother Toad immediately came up with the idea that if another creature could be found that could become the staple food of humans, then the frog tribe would naturally eliminate the danger of extinction.
Later, the two demons traveled all over the South Ridge together, only to find that no other species could replace the frog tribe, and the reason for this was that the frogs were popular as food because they were delicious and easy to catch.
Knowing this psychology of human beings, Brother Toad pondered what to do, and finally determined to cultivate a crop for human beings in his lifetime, that is, to meet the taste of human beings, and to harvest as much as possible. Although the shrimp toad demon also has the heart to do his part, but it is not so ambitious, just transformed into a human form is in the stage of jumping out of the active temperament, and the toad brother at this time, met a like-minded witch......
So, the shrimp toad demon decided to continue to travel from east to south, west to north.
I remember that at the time of parting, Brother Toad said solemnly to him: If such a crop is cultivated and becomes the staple food of human beings, it will not only be the luck of the frog tribe, but also the luck of mankind; if there is such a day, the frog tribe will protect this crop for human beings from generation to generation, so that it will not be attacked by poisonous insects, and form a situation of coexistence and dependence with human beings, it will be a great feat!
For more than 8,000 years, perhaps it was the sky that lived up to the heart of the toad brother and cultivated this crop. ,
Lin Yao couldn't be sure, thinking so, he really hoped it was so.
Lin Yao, who was in swaddling clothes, wandered alone, looking back on the years he had experienced. At this moment, Fang Fei and Lin Yi had already finished eating.
"Fei'er, let's go back to the capital later!" Lin Yi said while cleaning up the porridge bowl.
"Brother Yi, don't you want to go back with me?" Fang Fei asked softly.
"The child has just been born, and your body is weak, and you have traveled a long way... I'm watching out for you..."Lin Yi responded tactfully, and he was really reluctant to go back.
"Well, I'll talk about it in a few days. Fang Fei understood that it was indeed not appropriate to leave at the moment.
"Hmm. Seeing that his wife agreed not to return to the capital for the time being, Lin Yi nodded slightly in response, and didn't say anything, looking preoccupied.
For Lin Yi, although the elopement was in a blind form, it was also a willing choice, although the encounter here was unlucky, unexpected hardships and setbacks, life was in trouble, and there was no complaint about suffering. Yesterday, I was frightened by my wife's sudden situation, and I only promised her to go back to the capital, so that I could get the best treatment.
Now that the child was born and his wife is unharmed, he naturally does not want to go back. Lin Yi stood from a man's point of view, and it was reasonable to consider the problem and be inconsistent with Fang Fei, since he had eloped, he would admit it no matter how hard the days were, but when he went back so down, what kind of face did he have when he faced his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
The Fang family is in a high-ranking family in the capital, although it has become a fact that Lin Yi and Fang Fei are married, but after all, it is against Fang Fei's father's order, not only did he elope for life, but he also eloped for life, and there was no matchmaker's words. If he goes back, Lin Yi can't imagine what it will be like, he will not be treated by his father-in-law, the Lin family will have no family background in the capital, and life will also be very embarrassing, in that case, it is better to stay here, relatively speaking, at least it doesn't feel so ugly, and the shame can't be thrown to the capital.
Of course, Lin Yi understands his wife's intentions, and he can rely on the Fang family to live when he goes back, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Yi, who still has a little self-esteem, would rather endure hardships in this mountain than go back to the capital to eat soft rice and enjoy happiness. Here, it is to put down the body, after all, there are still hands and feet, as long as you are hungry and grit your teeth, you will get through, and if you go back, you have to pull down your face, and the dignified man will not die of shame.
It didn't reach the point of last resort, Lin Yi resolutely refused to go back to his father-in-law, and the man's self-esteem couldn't be hurt!
However, the situation he is facing now makes Lin Yi feel extremely ashamed and feel that he is too useless. Even if you suffer a lot, it doesn't matter, but what about your wife and newborn son?
Lin Yi is responsible, so he is anxious, sorrowful, and confused, like a snail carrying a heavy shell, feeling the weight of responsibility, and feeling his own insignificance. Real life makes Lin Yi, a scholar, feel helpless and feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
The examination for the township examination in the coming year is an opportunity for Lin Yi to make a living, but how can he expect it to go so far? It is still an unknown future, and only by taking care of the present can there be a way forward.
