Chapter 10: Eating Melon Seeds
Three heads poked out of the stone wall, and a giant pangolin with its hind legs erect lifted its claws, as if on guard against something.
Wu Dao looked at the light sprinkled above, a small pumpkin the size of a Ferris wheel hung on the top, the skylight opened on the top of the cave, and the vines were intertwined and hung down from the skylight, like snake-like vines slowly sliding, and pumpkins the size of a millstone were hanging on the side.
The leaves on the vines rustled, and the vines slid faster, and the ends pulled out in all directions to attack the pangolin
The pangolin curled, the scales on its body were violently staggered, and the vines seemed to be drawn onto countless scissors, and for a while, the broken branches flew all over the sky and fell to the ground.
Wu Dao pinched the sweat in his palm, leaned into Uncle Hao's ear and whispered, "The pumpkin vine and garlic are fragrant." ”
It's just that the voice trembles.
Uncle Hao pulled Wu Dao's tail down, and he saw that the pumpkins around him were cracked one by one with jagged openings, cracked open hollow eyes, and opened and closed their big sawtooth mouths up and down, as if they were laughing.
Wu Dao was taken aback: "Halloween jack-o'-lantern?"
As the serrated mouth opens and closes, pumpkin seeds shoot out of the mouth like a machine gun, striking the pangolin's scales and sparkling.
The pangolin had obviously suffered a loss from the dense shooting, and with a flick of its tail, it bounced like a ball and rolled along the stone wall to dodge, and for a time it clanged and made small holes in the ground with pumpkin seeds.
When the pangolin rolled to the position of the three of them, a string of pumpkin seeds hit the stone wall where they were hiding, and several stones splashed up.
For a while, the other pumpkins' laughing faces became vicious, and the ghost screamed and stretched vines and threw them in the direction of Wu Dao.
Uncle Hao moved very quickly, stuffed the glasses hanging on his chest into his pocket, jumped out and hooked his tail to hook the eye sockets of the pumpkin in front of him and dragged it down, and the pumpkin smashed on the ground and was firmly pressed by Uncle Hao.
Wu Dao deserved to be Uncle Hao's praise, and he had a good heart, and he kicked at the other pumpkin to trigger the counterattack spiral, and the pumpkin pulled the vine and staggered on the suppressed pumpkin vine.
The counterattack spiral plus the way Wu Dao learned today, the flying force is very large, and the flying pumpkin pulls the melon vine with the suppressed melon vine as the axis, like a flying stone rope, and wraps the other pumpkins that rush over a few times into a bunch.
A bunch of pumpkins collided together, and the fierce face turned into a crying face, and the chatter became a mess.
Uncle Hao, who had been hiding on the side for a long time, jumped onto the vine, only to see his mouth open, his front teeth reflecting the light, and in a flash, Wu Dao only heard a series of "Click, Click... A bouquet of pumpkins with vines was "cut" down.
Wu Daojue's was so exciting, without waiting to say a witty word, Uncle Hao hooked his tail and jumped to Wu Dao's side with the pumpkin that fell before.
Wu Dao found that the hairs on Uncle Hao's body were standing up, and before he could ask what was going on, the huge pumpkin on the top was turning around and cracking its jagged mouth, and its eyes were shining red.
The old nose that was hiding on the side with his head "squeaked" a few times, and the pangolin, which was rolling, rushed over and grabbed the melon vines bundled together, and rolled his tail into a ball.
Wu Dao had already resisted the old nose and ran away with Uncle Hao, and as soon as he got out of the hole, he put down the old nose, and the pangolin rumbled and rolled out of the hole.
Wu Dao jumped to the side to dodge, turned around and saw that Uncle Hao also had a pumpkin hanging on his agile tail and rolled away, only the old nose and legs were not flexible, and he was not in a hurry to dodge, "squeak" screamed and was stretched out by his uncle Shu and threw out a large string of pumpkins and stood there with both hands.
"Poof, hold high... Wu Dao couldn't help laughing.
Uncle Hao is steady and decent, and there is nothing unusual on the surface, but the tail behind him is rolling around on the ground with a pumpkin, and it seems that his mood is not calm.
The tail of the old nose jumped straight, and after being placed on the ground by the pangolin, his body stiffened and fell to the ground, with his feet facing the sky.
Wu Dao reacted at this time, the old nose was not ashamed, it was the rat gall that was frightened, and due to the size problem, Wu Dao ignored the original temperament of the mouse.
The pangolin ignored its nephew, turned around and sniffed to explore the cave, and after a moment of vigilance, he found that the huge pumpkin had not followed.
The big bunch of pumpkins was still making noise, and Wu Dao's head hurt when he was noisy, Wu Dao walked over, took out a kitchen knife and cut off a melon vine, and tied up a pumpkin firmly, so that its mouth couldn't open, and sure enough, "En'en whined" couldn't scream.
Wu Dao greeted Uncle Hao and Old Nose and tied up the other pumpkins.
Halloween pumpkins are like hairy crabs on the shelves, obediently lying there in a pile.
After a busy meal, Wu Dao stood there and watched the pumpkin having fun there, "poof", a black shadow pierced a pumpkin, and the pumpkin was hollowed out a few times back and forth.
Wu Dao turned his head to see that the pangolin was eating pumpkin with his tongue.
Wu Dao and Uncle Hao's eyes lit up at the same time, picking up a pumpkin, no matter how sad the pumpkin's crying face became, an axe split it, only to see that the inside was like a yellow pudding, and there were a lot of pumpkin seeds inside.
Wu Dao's fingers hooked a piece, sucked, oh he, rich pumpkin flavor, sweet but not greasy, refreshing taste, delicious!
Wu Daogang was about to spit out the pumpkin seeds in his mouth, but after thinking about it, he spit out the seeds and put them in his pocket, and said to Uncle Hao, who was happily eating, "Uncle, keep the seeds." ”
Gathered around for a supper, Wu Daojue's body was swollen, his muscles were numb and crispy, and Uncle Hao was also feeling the comfort brought by evolution, but when he saw Wu Dao's eyes were confused, and his face looked endless, he quickly controlled his expression, so as not to fall into the footsteps of Wu Dao, because with his appearance, it would be more obscene.
The old nose has the lowest evolution and has fallen into a deep sleep, while the pangolin seems to have just eaten a supper, but the lost scales on the body have a bright light and gradually recover.
Desserts can always bring pleasure, after Uncle Hao returned to normal, he talked with the pangolin first, and then Wu Dao was sober and joined in, this time "paste it" because the pangolin with a higher level of evolution participated, the other party has pictures and expressions, illustrated and illustrated, Wu Dao is envious, and many times the reply that can be done with an emoji can only be expressed honestly in words, which makes Wu Dao's heart itch and uncomfortable.
Sure enough, Uncle Hao didn't guess wrong, the pangolin readily agreed to Wu Dao's request, because there are all kinds of plants and unknown dangers in this mountain range, and the pangolin, a wild animal, was forced to go deep on the periphery of the mountain, it just wanted to return to the mountain, so it kept trying to find a way to burrow and encounter some plants similar to Halloween pumpkins, and the evolutionary materials obtained almost increased.
The advantages of evolutionary plants make it impossible for the pangolin to win easily, it needs helpers, and the nephew Big Nose and other rats have their own ideas and need to be guarded, and it is impossible to live and die without caring about life and death.
At this time, Wu Dao's request coincided with its purpose, and there was also tonight's test cooperation, and it seemed that it was still quite satisfied.
At present, the biggest danger on this small hill is this Halloween pumpkin, that huge pumpkin is still a roadblock, animals and plants hunt each other for evolutionary matter, as long as there is no effective communication and cooperation, it is the naked law of the jungle.
Wu Dao finally asked the pangolin for the remaining pumpkins, and the price he paid was to bring two more helpers, namely rice balls and Wu Di, and negotiated with the pangolins to leave two days to prepare and beat the big pumpkins together.
Wu Dao and Uncle Hao dragged the pumpkin back to the gatehouse, the sky was already dawning, the rice ball and Wu Di were sleeping outside, "heaven and earth, you, me and him" on the ground in front of the house, "one, two, three, four, five, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, heaven and earth are divided up and down, and the sun and the moon shine on the present and the ancient." "It's full of writing.
Wu Dao smiled and heard Uncle Hao: "The first grade Chinese course of primary school?"
Uncle Hao was happy: "By the way, you can find a full set of primary school textbooks to university textbooks in the garbage dump!"
Wu Dao smiled even more happily, but his expression was a little distorted.
Next, Wu Dao cut off the skin of the split pumpkin, boiled and mashed it with oil and flour, and kept its original sweetness and baked into a pumpkin pie.
Participate in shrimp, dried scallops and other dried seafood, fry until the cake body is crispy, dip in fragrant soy sauce to eat, fresh and salty, and have no aftertaste.
Cut into pieces and wash rice to cook pumpkin porridge, the golden porridge is tumbling with white rice grains, sweet and satisfying.
Sliced and stir-fried with green peppers, the pumpkin is soft and hard from the outer wall to the inner wall, and the taste is rich in layers, refreshing and appetizing.
Wu Daonian's pumpkin vine fried garlic is also fried together, don't look at this melon vine so thick, but peel and shred and stir-fry, like the taste of green bamboo shoots, crispy and fragrant.
In the end, the leaves on the vines boiled a soup, just put a little salt, and a few drops of sesame oil out of the pot, and almost swallowed my tongue when I drank it.
Wu Dao and Uncle Hao were busy preparing a table of pumpkin feasts, and the two goods who were sleeping soundly had already been woken up, and the rice balls were staring at all kinds of food and drinks, Wu Di was very interested in looking at the practice of various dishes, his nose twitched, and his eyes were shining.
After eating the sea, the rice ball and Wu Di fell into a deep sleep, a dog and a pig really woke up to eat, ate and slept...
Uncle Hao boiled the pumpkin seeds on the stove in the gatehouse to make five flavors, then fried them dry, grabbed a handful and put them on the front teeth, and rolled his tongue, the snow-white melon seeds came to his mouth, and the one he chewed was fragrant.
Wu Dao looked greedy, grabbed a handful, picked up one and put it in his mouth, Uncle Hao didn't have time to stop it, he knocked it down, the pumpkin seeds didn't move at all, and Wu Dao felt that his gums were bleeding.
Only then did Wu Dao realize that the pangolin scales hit by the pumpkin seeds were damaged, which showed how hard it was.
Seeing Uncle Hao's relish, "Click... Click... Click... ”
How rhythmic, Wu Dao was greedy, and looked at Uncle Hao: "Uncle, is it delicious?"
"It's okay, the particles are full, the oiliness is extremely high, the chew is full of flavor, addictive!"
"Uncle, borrow your front teeth!"
"Xiao Wu, what are you going to do? Let go, let go! Can't the old man help you knock?"
。。。
Wu Dao carried a bag of pumpkin seeds that had been cracked, broke it with his hand, and took out a kernel the size of a yuan coin and ate it, which was called a beauty.
Uncle Hao rubbed his sour cheeks, and told Wu Dao: "The old man is tired, and he will give you the whole weapon in the afternoon, which is really disrespectful." ”
"Uncle, I'll treat you to a whole table in the afternoon. ”
"Come on, boy, you just see, the old man is going to go... Uncle Hao pierced his body, and Wu Dao had to walk away with the sound.
Wu Dao watched Uncle Hao walk away, and then looked at the sleeping rice balls and Wu Di, threw away the melon seed skin, the hippie smiling face was closed, and his brows were tightly locked, everything in the night actually had a great impact on Wu Dao, the evolutionary diversity of plants is unpredictable, the evolution of wild animals is obviously higher, there are powerful species climbing in this world every moment, and the gap will get bigger and bigger as time passes.
Originally, human beings were at the top of the domination, but now most of them have become zombies, and the rest are nowhere to be seen, Wu Dao has not seen a single living person until now, and only heard that there are living people in the eldest sister's head, but there are very few of them.
Human beings are social, Wu Dao is because of loneliness, subconsciously have a good impression of every creature who meets Kaizhi, and get along with each other equally, and thanks to the snapping turtle blood obtained before, let him turn on the smell pheromone, that is, the so-called "sticker" and Kaizhi animals to communicate without barriers, this is the key, other living human beings may not have this kind of good luck.
Wu Dao, who was deep in thought, his expression changed unpredictably, which expressed his inner unpeace very well.
"Whew~~~. Wu Dao let out a long breath, pinched his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the construction waste in the distance, strode over, turned out a large piece of cement with steel bars, turned it upside down, felt a little heavy, a few axes knocked down a piece, and felt that the weight was just right.
"Think about it so much, in fact, the most important thing at the moment is the ability to save your life, there is nothing more reliable than force in the last days, practice, Wu Dao!"
。。。
When Uncle Hao came over with a slashing saber, he saw Wu Dao doing a chopping action shirtless.
"4381, huhu, 4382, huh, 4383... ”
Good guy, really fake, Uncle Hao approached and took a look, the place where Wu Dao was standing had been wet with sweat, his eyes moved to the position of the swing, Uncle Hao's mouse eyes narrowed, every time Wu Dao slashed, the cement block was a little distance from the ground, but the ground was made a shallow pit by the air pressure generated by the high-speed swing.
Uncle Hao nodded with satisfaction, this young man is good, although there are still traces of swimming rings on his stomach, and his eight-pack abs have not yet been highlighted, but he has a thick skin, is bold, and has a good understanding.
"4400, ho, uncle, huh, is this knife for, huh, my old Wu?" Wu Dao rounded up, threw the cement block on the ground, and shouted in surprise with a grinning pant.
Uncle Hao handed Wu Dao the slashing saber with his backhand, raised his chin and motioned for Wu Dao to try, Wu Dao looked left and right, and cut off a rotten plywood boss's table next to him with a knife.
Uncle Hao proudly looked at Wu Dao while touching the knife and gave a thumbs up, turned his head and saw the melon seed shell thrown by Wu Dao at the entrance of the door, jumped up and slapped Wu Dao on the head.
"Uncle, why are you beating me?" Wu Dao asked puzzled, touching his head.
Uncle Hao flicked his tail and pulled Wu Dao as he walked to the porter and told Wu Dao: "The shell of melon seeds is so hard, isn't it fragrant to drill a hole and make a fish scale breastplate?
Wu Dao suddenly realized, yes, my brain hole has degenerated.
"Uncle, I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up. Wu Daoyan smiled.
