Make home in the bird's nest

Shi Shi lay on the bed for a while, and slowly recovered from his weakness, but his body was still powerless due to hunger.

Shitou wanted to go out to buy something to eat, and when he thought of all kinds of food on the street, his saliva was about to flow out. At this moment, Aunt Li's voice came from outside the door: "Dinner is ready, go out and eat."

"How is this possible?" Shito straightened his clothes quickly, and helped Wu Li tidy up before opening the door.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just licking the bowls and chopsticks, so don't dawdle." Aunt Li said enthusiastically. She had just cooked a meal, and her round, round face was covered with greasy sweat.

Shitou is not very good at talking, so he had to accept the Li family's kindness because of the kindness.

Shitou glanced at Wuli's long black nails, smiled and said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, go and eat first, we will be over soon."

Aunt Li didn't talk too much, and said with a pleasant smile: "Then you can hurry up, the children are young and like to grab food, if you come late, there will be no good food."

Stone responded with a smile.

After Aunt Li left, Shitou found orange-yellow deerskin gloves from the bundle and put them on for Wu Li. The deerskin is thin and short-haired, which is very suitable for making gloves. The boots they are wearing now are also made of deerskin.

Due to nails, Wu Li's gloves are a little longer, and they don't fit well after wearing them, which is a bit of a discount for a pair of well-cut gloves.

Shi Shi took out Wu Li's special 'Little Bird Claw' again, and then pulled him out of the room.

The dinner table was set in the main room, and the scene was much more lively than Shitou imagined. Dr. Li and his wife sat in the upper seat, and below were their three sons and three daughters, ranging in age from three to eleven or twelve years old. family.

Shitou looked at this family of eight people gathered around a dining table, which was nothing new to him.Since he turned ten years old, he hasn't eaten Baijia rice anymore. In the past two years, the elderly Granny Li had dinner with him. It would not be so easy to accept being with a wild bird.

As long as he thinks about being alone for the next few decades, Shitou will feel a sense of desolation in his heart, but this feeling never appeared again after he decided to be with Wu Li, replaced by a feeling of finally consummation Feeling, although he is not yet 16 years old.

Wu Li was reluctant, but thinking about his partner coming to Fairy Valley with him alone, and usually not seeing anyone of his own kind, he followed without complaint.

Seeing the two men approaching, Dr. Li hurriedly greeted them: "You are here, sit down and eat quickly."

"Oh, then we will not be polite." Shito walked quickly to the table, pulling Wu Li.

Shitou sat next to Dr. Li, and Wu Li sat next to the stone. Next to him was a human cub, so young that he couldn't tell the cub's gender.

There are eight bowls of steaming dishes on the table, fried potato slices, wax gourd slices, eggplant sticks, fried Chinese cabbage, pumpkin lumps, yellow, white, purple, green and red in different colors, which is pleasing to the eye.There are also three meat dishes in the middle as the main course, a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers, a plate of pickled fish, and a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts.Of course, there are only a few slices of bacon, mostly garlic sprouts, but this is very fragrant.

Shitou was surprised by such a sumptuous dish, thinking that the people in the city had good food, and their fishing village only had a few days of Chinese New Year to compete with this.But looking at the way the children swallowed their saliva, Shi Shi knew that such a meal was also very rare for them.The Li family educated the children very well, and they didn't make a fuss when they were so greedy. If it was the children in their fishing village, they would have started stealing food.

"How do you cook such a good dish? If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed here." Shito said angrily.

Li Loudly said immediately: "What are you talking about? These are home-cooked dishes, and it's not expensive to buy a fish. When you come, the children can try something new. It's not a problem. You're welcome. "

"Yeah, eat quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold." Dr. Li said while holding the chopsticks.

Shi Shi had no choice but to answer with a smile. He cautiously stretched his chopsticks into the potato bowl closest to him. As soon as he put the potatoes into the bowl, he found that the children stretched their chopsticks into the dish like hungry tigers, as if he moved the chopsticks. It was like an order to eat, and only then did Shi Shi have the familiar smell of a child.

Wu Li looked at the immature human cubs beside him for a while, and suddenly thought, could Shishi and him give birth to human cubs?Or a black raptor egg?

Wu Li thought seriously.

Wu Li glanced around at the cubs of different sizes, feeling puzzled.Why did the pups in this litter vary in size so much?Even if there are two litters, there will not be such a big difference?Look at the smaller cubs, who can't even hold the chopsticks steadily, while the older cubs have already eaten several mouthfuls of food.

Wu Li suddenly realized that the difference in size is so large, so it turns out that they don't know how to grab food. It seems that the competitiveness of human cubs is also great.

After much deliberation, Wu Li decided that it would be better to lay eggs.Although human cubs are as cute as stones, they are too fragile, and the chicks are easy to raise.

Speaking of the stone side, he picked up a piece of potato but didn't rush to eat it. Instead, he put it near his mouth and blew it, and then stretched it out in front of Wuli.

"Wuli, open your mouth." Shito said softly.

Only then did Wu Li pull back his thoughts, glanced at Shi Shi, and opened his mouth to hold the chopsticks stretched out in front of him.

Dr. Li frowned, feeling worthless for the stone.Such a virtuous girl, why did she follow a heartless and reckless man, she even had to be fed for food, and she acted like it should be taken for granted.However, he is not qualified to intervene in other people's family affairs, he just looks at it and feels blocked.

On the contrary, Aunt Li gave them a strange look, she had never been in contact with Wu Li, she had no prejudice against him, she just felt that he was quite honest, so she asked casually: "Wu Li also moves chopsticks, is the food not to your liking? "

Wu Li glanced at her, but didn't speak.

Shi Shi hurriedly said: "No, he is used to using this." He shook the 'bird claw' in front of Wu Li's table and said to Wu Li: "You can eat with a fork."

Wu Li nodded and took the fork.

Aunt Li let out a "huh" and asked curiously, "What is this? It looks very convenient. It's perfect for children. Where did you buy it?"

"Ah." Shito said shyly, "I made this by myself. If you want, I can make a few for you. It's very simple."

"You can also work as a carpenter. It's amazing. Most girls don't know how to work as a carpenter." Li said loudly.

Stone choked and smiled embarrassingly.

The more Li Loud looked at the stone, the more he liked it. He took a large piece of fish and sent it to the stone bowl. He said enthusiastically, "You eat fish to nourish your body."

"No, no, no!" Shito hurriedly hugged the bowl, shook his head and said, "I don't eat fish, it's too fishy."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's probably morning sickness. When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a very bad reaction, especially fish. I couldn't smell it, but I didn't feel sick when I ate fish with pickled cabbage. It didn't smell fishy at all. If you don't believe me, try it. "

Shitou blushed, and took it half-believingly.

It turned out that the nausea during that time was also due to pregnancy.

Shi Shi sniffed lightly, put a small piece of fish meat into his mouth, chewed it, his eyes lit up, and said in disbelief: "It's really not fishy, ​​it's delicious, it's sour, how do you do it? "

Aunt Li said: "This is boiled with old sauerkraut from our family. It is very simple. If you are interested, I will teach you tomorrow. When I leave, I will take the sauerkraut soup with me."

"Forget it, it's too much trouble for you." Shitou said.

"No trouble, just a little soup." Aunt Li said.

Wu Li glanced at Shi Shi, who was getting along happily with his peers, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he was also happy, poked a brightly colored pumpkin with a fork, put it in his mouth, and suddenly changed his face.

Hmm... the taste is too strange, as expected, don't trust human taste too much.Wu Li frowned and swallowed the sticky, sweet and salty food that looked like rotten leaves, smashed it into his mouth, and then took a piece of pickled fish to taste.

Shi Shi quickly finished his meal, and Wu Li had no appetite, so he immediately put down his chopsticks when Shi Shi finished eating.

After saying a few polite words to the Li family, Shitou took Wuli back to the room, then filled a bowl of chestnuts and a bowl with two large soup bowls he found in the kitchen, and let Wuli stay in the room and run away by himself. to the living room.

Shi Shi put the food on the table and said embarrassingly: "We brought this from home, let you have a taste."

"How can this be?" Aunt Li refused without even thinking about it.

Dr. Li was so impolite, he said to his wife: "Just keep it, Shitou's house is on the mountain, these wild game should not be considered valuable."

Shi Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our house is everywhere."

Aunt Li just took it away, and when she heard what Shitou said, she suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "Now that you have a child, you have to pay attention, some things are not edible, such as almonds, which are poisonous for pregnant women."

Shi Shi was taken aback and asked, "Is it the kernels in the apricots? I used to smash almonds when I had nothing to eat, but now I'm too lazy to smash the shells, so I haven't eaten them again, but I have eaten some overripe apricots. It's okay." Bar."

Aunt Li was taken aback by Shitou's words, and said anxiously: "Oh, fortunately, I didn't eat it. It's too dangerous. I only knew this when I was married to the head of the family. Many women have problems with their children, because they ate the wrong food."

Shi Shi suddenly thought of his mother he had never seen before. Could it be because his mother ate something wrong that his body was abnormal?

The children ran away when they were full. Dr. Li glanced at the two women who were talking lively, and felt embarrassed to stay here, so he quickly picked up the rice in the bowl and left.

Aunt Li started to clear the dining table, and said to Shitou, "Let me tell you about my experience. Many diseases in children are brought from the mother's womb."

Stone naturally listened carefully and helped clean up.

"You can't eat chili. If you eat it, your child will get sores on the top of their head, which is difficult to cure. You live in the mountains, and you can't eat hawthorn and fungus..."

Aunt Li said to Shitou in a nonchalant manner, and after clearing away the dishes, the two of them sat on a small bench and talked at the door of the kitchen.

Unknowingly, it was already dark, and Wu Li, who was alone in the stranger's lair, sat quietly on the bed, staring at the door longingly.

Until it was completely dark, Shi Shi hadn't come back yet, Wu Li went out of the room with a stern face, and pulled Shi Shi back from Aunt Li's eloquent teaching.
