Searching for food through the beast world

Actually grow again?

Walking back from the priest's house, Kun suggested that the two of them go to the river to grill fish.Ding Xiao was very satisfied with this proposal. Although he probably wouldn't be able to touch the fishing net, Kun's fishing skills were far worse than that of Abba, and he was definitely at the level of a coach.The feeling of being able to point fingers is also quite good.

So the two went home and took the fishing nets and seasonings, and said hello to Joan that they would not be at home for lunch, and they would bring fish back to add vegetables in the evening. After that, they took a detour and left the village.

The reason why he took the detour was because Kun wanted to avoid the pair of Jing and Luxi.Xiaoxiao said that when two partners go out, it is called a date, and if a group of friends go out together, it is called a party.He wants to date and he doesn't want to party, at least not every day.You can't even kiss like this, and you have to practice real kissing yourself.Besides, he had to tell Xiaoxiao what the priest told him alone.This way, Xiaoxiao doesn't have to worry about not being able to live for so long.

In fact, Kun has long noticed that Xiaoxiao has grown a little taller in the past few months. Although it is not as obvious as Jing, he thinks that when he hugged Xiaoxiao before, his hand position should be lower.You must know that the orc's hand feeling is very accurate, otherwise how can you catch the prey.

兽人雄性虽然50岁的时候成年，但真正停止生长身体实在八90岁的时候。只是在50岁之后生长的速度就会很慢，看上去也没有前面的50年那么明显而已。但半兽人和雌性不一样。他们在30岁成年之后都不会再生长身体了。所以前30年的生长速度就显得快了很多，那是非常容易察觉的。

Leaving the village, the two ran to the north bank of the river.Occasionally, there are dark greens of pines and cypresses among the withered vegetation, but it doesn't look too depressed.It's just that the small animals and birds that used to be seen everywhere have disappeared, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, it is extremely quiet.

Ding Xiao is in a good mood today, not because Uncle Ge Zhong said a lot of good things about Kun.It's just that this blessing and expectation is a happy thing in itself, so a smile is naturally on the face.

The two were looking for a suitable place to "set up camp" while watching the fish in the river.The wind is not strong today, just find a flat and dry place on the shore.

After choosing a fishing spot, Kun first set up a temporary stone stove.The animal skin blanket on the ground is still the softest and most comfortable one. Ding Xiao sat on it and watched Kun busy, and felt that this feeling was really pleasant.Sure enough, it is an absolute enjoyment to be lazy once in a while!

Washing his hands with river water, Kun was not in a hurry to catch fish. Instead, he sat next to Ding Xiao and took his hand: "Xiaoxiao, I asked the priest just now. She said that there were times in our place where she could only live to a hundred around age."

Ding Xiao didn't expect Kun to say this to the priest, so he froze all of a sudden, as if he wanted to stand up. "Did you ask the priest this? Did she doubt me?"

Kun touched the top of Xiaoxiao's head reassuringly: "No. I said you remembered that many of your previous tribes seemed to have not lived to be two hundred years old. Anyway, the priest has long believed that you are the messenger given to us by the beast god. Of course There will be no doubt."

Ding Xiao let out a long breath, and his body relaxed naturally: "It's okay, it's okay. It seems that the misunderstanding of this messenger is quite good. Ah, by the way, you said that the Yihu clan also had a life of only one hundred. year old?"

Kun nodded, and then repeated what the priest had said.

Ding Xiao fell silent after hearing these words, but more of it was the inner shock that could not be expressed accurately on the surface.Have two pulses yourself?Can I really live to be four or five hundred years old with Kun? ? ?He desperately wanted to believe it was true, but his mind told him it was more of a joke.So he subconsciously clasped the pulse gate of his left hand with his right hand. Although he had never studied medicine, there were a few people in the Celestial Dynasty who could not even feel the pulse. Anyone can do it.

At first he didn't even feel a pulse because his hands were trembling, then he took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as possible, closed the pulse gate with three fingers and felt it carefully, it seemed that it was really different from before.At the tip of the finger and the belly of the finger, there are two pulsations with almost the same pace.Is this two pulses?Does that mean that he now has two hearts?Thinking of this strangely, he quickly pulled Kun's wrist, this time he squeezed hard, and the two strong pulses were clearly distinguishable. "I really have two pulses!!" After being convinced of this fact, the shock he felt was actually much greater than the joy, it was too sudden. "Kun Kun Kun, how many hearts does an orc have?"

Kun replied with a look of incomprehension: "Of course there is only one." It is said that only two-headed beasts have two hearts, but no one has ever encountered it, let alone want to.

Ding Xiao let out a long breath.He wasn't afraid of becoming a monster or something, if everyone here was like this, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to be like this.Being alive is a great thing.He was just a little uncomfortable with this sudden change.But after hearing that the internal structure is quite normal, I feel more at ease. "Then I might really live as long as you guys!!" After saying this, he suddenly thought that his whole body was sore and had a low-grade fever after he came here.Maybe at that time my body was being changed by the world.And when I ate it that time, it might not only open my eyes, but also make my body quickly become the state of the people here.Or that the stone is actually the materialization of the "vein of the beast god"?Is it really because of the call of such a god that I came here?

Xiaoxiao feels that since he has time-traveled, it is not easy to maintain an atheist attitude, and besides, he is not a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods at all.

Of course Ding Xiao never believed that he was born like this.After all, there were a lot of physical examinations in school, if I was different from normal people, I would have been found out long ago.And when he was taking medicine before, he checked his heart rate every day. Feeling the pulse is a daily necessity. He hadn't felt two pulses at that time. "Then starting today, I'm going to carve my height on the pillars of the shed!" Hmph, how could I still have a chance to grow again?Both Jiji and Kun feel that they have grown a little taller, which is a good sign!By the way, I can go back and wear the previous clothes, I always feel it!

Although I can't be sure that I can live that long, it is always good to have hope!Ding Xiao's mood changed from shock at the beginning to complete excitement, which made him even more happy who was already in a good mood today, so the two of them seemed very happy during the whole fishing process.

Under Ding Xiao's command, Kun's net-casting skills have made a qualitative leap, coupled with the orc's male strength and talent for accuracy, there are still a lot of fish at noon today.Except for the first two nets that only caught one poisonous round bone fish, which was equivalent to an empty net, the remaining five nets caught a total of twelve fish.It also includes a strange aquatic creature, which Ding Xiao has seen many times before. In addition to the headed fish, there are other things like jellyfish with countless tentacles.

Kun asked: "Xiaoxiao, can this thing be eaten? No one has ever tried it before."

Ding Xiao asked, "Why hasn't anyone tried it? Can't you males smell poisonous things?" Although the fish has no name, Tianyan shows that this thing is not poisonous, and it can also clear away heat and moisten the lungs.

Kun replied: "Because the body of this fish really wants the worms pulled out by the cubs."

Ding Xiao immediately dismissed the idea of ​​trying this fish.Nima, who cares if he can eat or not when he says such a thing! ! !So without saying a word, he threw the strange "fish" back into the water. "Forget it, it will break if you eat the worms." But he regretted it when it was over, so he can take it back and feed those gluttonous long-tailed chickens! ! !

After the topic of affecting appetite was over, the two of them still couldn't bear the hunger.It was Kun's first time to use a lighter to light a fire, and he was very fond of this thing that ignited a flame at the touch of a button.Although he looked very calm on the surface, he couldn't help but press it a few more times. "Grilled red fish? You said it tastes good before."

"No, just one. Take it home and eat it. I will steam red fish for you to eat at night. I just eat a yellow croaker. I really like yellow croakers. There are no spines and the mouth is full of meat. It's so good. What kind of fish do you eat? What flavor do you want?" Looking at the bunch of fish in front of him, Ding Xiao began to figure out how to cook the fish.The previous boiled beef was deeply loved by the family, and it would be nice to make another boiled fish tomorrow.Moreover, the large yellow croaker has only the main thorn, so it is very suitable for making fish balls. Add soaked scallops in it, and then use bonito flakes to cook seafood soup to cook fish balls... I really drool when I think about it !

Seeing Xiaoxiao staring at these fish as if his eyes were shining, Kun knew that his cub partner must be thinking about something delicious again.The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and if others saw the pampering and praise all over the face, they would be very surprised.

Grilled fish sprinkled with black pepper and green orange juice is full of aroma under the background of vegetable salt.The slightly sour and slightly sweet fruit aroma combines the spiciness of black pepper, but the freshness and sweetness of the fish are more prominent.

The freshly caught and grilled fish by the water is undoubtedly the freshest, plus self-reliance and the two of them are definitely the first time to eat outdoors on a "date" after they communicated with each other, and Xiaoxiao's life worry is temporarily gone Turning around, the mood and atmosphere alone are enough to make the fish taste better.What's more, Ding Xiao and Kun's craftsmanship is not bad.

If you are full of food and drink, you will naturally not stay by the river in this cold weather.The two returned home with the fish, and before entering the door, they heard the sound of long-tailed chickens fighting fiercely.It seems that someone must be feeding them, otherwise those stupid guys wouldn't make any noise even if they were wandering around in the cage. "Jing? You came alone?" Ding Xiao asked after entering the courtyard door.

Jing nodded: "Yes. Muwa will patrol until dinner today. Luxi has gone to his grandmother's house, and it is impossible for Feng to accompany me, ah, no, I don't want Feng to accompany me."

Kun's presence made Jing feel that his presence here would really make Boss Kun unhappy, and finally ran home quickly after Balabala did some trivial things.Ding Xiao complained to Kun: "Why are you so stern?"

Kunli replied confidently: "I have always been like this."

Ding Xiao curled his lips: "Are you lying to a ghost? It's like I've never seen you smile before!"

Kun said: "I just smile at you. Also, what are ghosts?"

Ding Xiao was silent for a while, and then replied: "This word has no meaning." Otherwise, I have to talk about the difference between humans and ghosts. What are the three realms and six realms?Don't say that I can't explain clearly, but what's the point of explaining clearly, it occupies Kun's brain capacity in vain.Besides, people here believe in beast gods, so it's better not to promote other ideas.But... the ghost is still terrified.

There are only two things that Ding Xiao fears most since he was a child.The first is that I am afraid that my father will not want me, and the second is that I am afraid of ghosts.This is the TV series Liao Zhai I watched when I was a child.Especially when he thinks of a headless person walking towards him, his heart beats faster and his hands and feet become cold.Although I watched that TV series after growing up, I felt that shooting special effects and props was nothing scary.But the influence from childhood has been deeply ingrained, and he immediately felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck when the string of music in the opening song sounded.As a result, he lived to be 24 years old and never watched a horror movie.

But now he felt that with such a powerful male around, he seemed to have nothing to fear.And if you are afraid of ghosts in a place where you don't know what ghosts are, isn't that crazy!But I really have to find time to look at the divine scroll. I haven’t read it since I told the priest before. Alas, I feel very uncomfortable that I can’t take it home and lie on the bed to read the fairy tale!

Joan immediately became happy after listening to Kun's talk about the priest's opinion on Xiaoxiao's lifespan.In fact, since Ding Xiao finished talking about his life experience, Joan's heart has been in a panic.He really wanted to ask the priest, but he felt that He's words made sense.If he risked exposing Xiaoxiao's life experience to others, he would never do it.Unexpectedly, Kun used a set of half-truths to consult the priest, and the answer he got was so joyful, how could he be unhappy.

"Quick, now go to the pillar and carve the line, I feel that Xiaoxiao has grown a little taller." When she was happy, Joan's eyes became brighter.The depression of this moment was swept away.

Seeing that his father was in good spirits, Ding Xiao felt that even if his changes could not change his lifespan, it was worth it.At least the family and loved ones are relieved for the time being. "Okay! I'm going to engrave it now. I can also try on the clothes I wore when I came here. It fit me very well. If I grow taller now, it must be shorter!"

It turned out that the eyes of the crowd were extremely discerning. Ding Xiao was really excited after changing into the clothes he wore when he arrived.After growing up to such a size, after he was ten years old, he never jumped up and down because of happiness, but today he wears narrow shoulders, short sleeves, and turned into cropped trousers, which has become a tight outfit. I jumped around my room several times.After jumping, he immediately realized that it was too embarrassing for him to be like this. Fortunately, the curtain was covered and no one saw it.

Having confirmed the fact that he "developed" again, Ding Xiao believed 80.00% of what the priest said.The reason why it is not [-]% is really because this thing has not been in the heart for more than ten years and still cannot be completely let go.But it doesn't matter, this is enough to reassure everyone, and I am also relieved.

When Joan saw Xiaoxiao wearing her previous clothes and looking very ill-fitting, her face was immediately full of smiles. "That's great, Xiaoxiao is just like us!! My baby will live a long life!!! The four of us must celebrate tonight!" We can't let other people know, but celebration is still a must !

Everyone is happy, and of course it deserves a lot of fun.Ding Xiao immediately gave up the idea of ​​steaming red fish, put his hips on his hips and said, "Then let's have hot pot tonight! It's hot and red. In my hometown, fiery red is the most festive color."
