Shadow Code - C40
” It seems like everything here is dependent on the plants in the forest? ”
” Yes, even the barbecue I just ate was made from a fruit from a plant that had been soaked in water and softened! ”
” “Damn, looks like you haven’t even eaten real barbecue before?” “I thought you were getting tired of eating barbecue every day. You didn’t like to eat dried melon seeds so much until you had eaten some cereal!” “I’m still wondering why the barbecue from earlier can’t taste what kind of meat it is and it’s still a rare and precious ingredient. It’s actually plain meat!”
” I’ve always eaten from the trees in the building. I’ve never eaten anything else! ” Li Si said as he plucked a spike from the top of a long house we passed in front of us. It looked like a wheat ear.
” Can this be eaten? ” I don’t know which part of this stuff to eat.
” It can all be eaten! ” As he spoke, Li Si chewed out the outer layer of skin like a melon seed and passed it to me.
” You can eat anything, but don’t you still want to spit? ”
” This is eating meat when you grow up. If you don’t have anything to eat, you have to eat it even if you don’t have any skin! ”
” “Oh, that!” I began to feel more and more sorry for this child, which was a little weird and mysterious, but it was hard to imagine a child born into his teens eating limited food, and what I had just said, obviously not all of it. It was like three years of starvation, when people would eat peanut shells, they wouldn’t be able to poop, they would eat cotton, they would eat cotton, and when there weren’t many cotton, they would have to wash and continue eating those food they pulled out, which was the most cruel reality of living in front of hunger.
” Does grandpa not let you come out? I see many bows and arrows on the wall. You can kill animals, so it won’t be that difficult! ”
” I’ve shot, but I’ve never succeeded! ” Li Si scratched his head in embarrassment.
” Haha, even your grandfather can’t do it? ”
” He only knows how to make bows and arrows, and he doesn’t know how to use them.
” “How did I find out that you two are just elves in the castle, and idiots outside the castle in the world!” said the pockmark.
” We would rather be loyal to the territory that belongs to us! ” Li Si’s words sometimes make people feel funny, but when you think about it carefully, in front of his words, the really funny thing is us.
” “Don’t be surprised, I can’t explain it either!” Ever since we agreed to take him to eat game, Li Si took the initiative to answer a few questions. It seems that people are all the same.
” “Sans, today, this brother will show you two brothers and little brothers something good. Do you know what kind of stuff is most f * cking delicious this season?” As soon as the wind blew in the forest, the pockmarked person became addicted to bragging, and began to strut around in the open air again. I treated it like fart, but it even made Li Si Wa’s mouth pop up to his chest.
” “Since everything is good and everything is good, can you hunt one today?” Li Si asked.
” Look at you, combing the tails of two lambs. If you want to eat a wild chicken, you must first eat that soft and lightly twisted cockscomb. After eating the cockscomb, you can comb your hair, do you understand? ” Li Si nodded his head obediently and said, “If you want to eat it, just listening to it sounds like you’ve eaten it once!”
I’ll tell you what a wild chicken path is, which is what a wild chicken path is like, because the wild chickens here are unusually beautiful, especially during the mating season. They value their feathers more than their lives, because the wild chicken has a saying, ‘Earth phoenix, open its tail, the feathers are the signboard, and the forest is deep, the wild chicken is not big, the thorns pull their feathers apart, and the wild chicken has some rules, but the wild chickens are old and old, and the wild chickens can follow them, and the wild chickens can follow them, and the wild chickens can follow them, and the wild chickens can grow old and old, and the wild chickens can follow them, and the wild chickens can walk in the wild grass, and the wild chickens can follow the wild grass. “Of course, it’s not just the wild chicken that steps on the path, even the wild boars will step on the path, but the wild boar’s path is wide, and if three or more hunters don’t dare to follow the path of the wild boar, not only would they not leave, but they would also need to avoid it, because if they are too lucky and run into the wild boar’s leader, they would lose their lives!
” Is the wild boar meat delicious? ” Li Si was very curious about these things and asked closely.
” Of course it’s delicious, but there are a few parts on the wild boar’s body that can’t be eaten. First, the male boar’s testicles, that thing is so coquettish, it’s not even the topic, the wild boar has time to talk, right now, the boar is coming for a wild chicken, so I’ll tell you how to beat it, but don’t be messed up by the two of you, do you see that? It’s clearly the wild chicken path! ” The pockmark pointed to the road in front of us.
” Why is it so easy to find the wild chicken path? ” I asked, for we had not gone far when we came upon the pheasant path, and it seemed to me that the pimple had made an appointment with the pheasant.
” The wild chicken has a special characteristic, if you see it nestling there, you can’t even pounce on it, because the wild chicken will fly out immediately after being pounced on, but it’s still smart, and it’ll run out a few steps as soon as it lands, so if you’re smart enough to think that the pheasant is too conspicuous and too far away to follow it, you’re wrong, you’ll never know which direction it’s headed in, so you’ll always be able to catch it in the air, and you won’t even be able to catch it! ”
” “What do we do then, shoot?”
” “If you want to kill a chicken, don’t use your knife. If you want to shoot a wild chicken, then go home and burn it; if you want to live in a flock of wild chickens, then you can’t just run into one; and if a flock of wild chickens, first of all, you have to scatter them and wait for them to flee in all directions, then you will have a target. Or a cliff, or a trough, or a grass field, then you will chase it; if a wild chicken is nervous, you will drill into a thick bush.” He made a shushing gesture and whispered to Li Si, “Child, do you see that? Wild chicken feathers!”
” Give it to me! ” Li Si’s small hands quickly grabbed the chicken feathers and brought them to his nose to smell them. “Hmm, the chicken feathers are so fragrant, the meat must be delicious!”
” “Bones, look, it’s tail hair. Don’t you think you can smell chicken dung?” The pockmark waved his hand, asking me to lead Li Si to a distance behind us. He pointed at our feet, indicating that we should take a light step so as not to disturb them.
