Qi Yunzhi was wearing a nightgown-like robe that reached to his calves. He didn't wear shoes, so he just walked ashore from the middle of the river.

Since Xu Jing knew him, he always dressed like this, and the robe on his body was not wet or dirty, and Xu Jing was no stranger to this.

After washing his hands, Xu Jing squeezed the eggplant and chili into several sections, added river water and salt to the bowl, set it on the firewood to cook, and saw Qi Yunzhi sitting quietly on the stone beside him, Xu Jing couldn't help but smile.

He has always been lonely here, with an adult soul trapped in a child's body, not only feeling awkward, but also unable to communicate normally with others.He couldn't intervene in adult topics, and he wasn't interested in children's topics, so he appeared more dull in front of outsiders.

Xu Jing was very relaxed in front of Qi Yunzhi. He knew that Qi Yunzhi's mind was somewhat abnormal, so he didn't mind.

Qi Yunzhi saved him, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. Even if Qi Yunzhi hurt him in any accident, Xu Jing would accept it, and he should repay the kindness of his life.

The fire was relatively high, and the water in the bowl was gurgling and steaming quickly, and then the fragrance of eggplant and chili wafted out.

The two sat quietly by the fire, waiting for the food to cook.

After waiting for a long time, under the light of the fire, Xu Jing saw that the food in the bowl had been boiled, so he carefully took it out from the bowl with a thick plantain leaf and put it in the river to dry.

The river water quickly took away the scorching heat. After a while, Xu Jing held the bowl through the banana leaf with one hand, and tentatively touched the bowl wall with the other hand. Feeling that it was almost cold, he brought the bowl to the bowl. Qi Yun arrived, and handed him the simple chopsticks he had prepared earlier.

Qi Yunzhi looked at the bowl with longing in his eyes, but he didn't answer it, "You eat."

Xu Jing pushed in his direction again, "Brother Qi, you eat, I'm not hungry."

Qi Yunzhi looked at Jiang Gui for a while, then took the bowl, and started to eat the food in the bowl with the bowl and chopsticks.

He ate in a hurry, but still looked very elegant, as if he was enjoying some big meal, instead of just salt, no oil, no chili and eggplant soup.

After he finished eating, Xu Jing washed the dishes in the river, threw away the simple chopsticks, and sat down in front of the fire again.

He came out early today, and the watch showed that it was only past ten o'clock in the evening, and he would still have time to go back to sleep after staying another two hours.

Looking at Qi Yunzhi's long and thick eyelashes, Xu Jing asked him, "Brother Qi, are you hungry every day?"

After a pause, Qi Yunzhi nodded.

Xu Jing was a little surprised, he asked, "Hungry every day? Still hungry after eating?"

After a while, Qi Yunzhi nodded again, his eyes were very clear, even though his face was already resolute and handsome like an adult man, just looking at his eyes, he still looked like a teenager.

Xu Jing was just the opposite of him, a little over one meter tall, but with frost in his eyes.

Looking at Qi Yunzhi's appearance, Xu Jing couldn't help reaching out to touch his hand, but the next moment Xu Jing was even more surprised, he actually touched it!The cool and skinny palms are very clear under his touch!

Xu Jing always thought Qi Yunzhi was a ghost!

No matter how you look at it, Qi Yunzhi doesn't look like a real entity, through his translucent body, Xu Jing can see the stones under him.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jing decided not to ask for the time being.

"Brother Qi, are you full?"

Qi Yunzhi shook his head, then nodded again.

Just when Xu Jing wanted to ask further questions, Qi Yunzhi said, "I'm not hungry."

"Not hungry, but not full either?"

This time Qi Yunzhi nodded.

Xu Jing looked at the watch's time, stood up and asked, "It's still early, how about we go to the wild to see if we can find something to eat?"

Qi Yunzhi didn't respond, but when Xu Jing took two steps forward, he quietly followed Xu Jing.

Xu Jing took the simple cane he made, and continued to adjust the Watchman to the second-level alert mode.

The wilderness has been abandoned for many years, and there are waist-deep weeds everywhere. The road is very difficult to walk, and there is no light source. Xu Jing has to tense up and walk very close to recognize whether the plants in front of him are food or weeds. .

The two stopped and went, and Xu Jing found an edible pumpkin, three shallots, five yams, 36 peppers and a handful of beans.

Just as Xu Jing was carrying these vegetables in his clothes and was about to go back, Qi Yunzhi suddenly pricked up his ears to listen, then took two quick steps forward and disappeared into the grass.

When Xu Jing turned around, he was taken aback by his tall and long legs, and quickly followed, "Brother Qi, where are you going?"

Qi Yunzhi didn't answer, he just jumped forward, and when Xu Jing walked closer, he saw that he was holding two big birds in his hands.The bird chirped uncomfortably in his hand, and Qi Yunzhi held its wings firmly, motionless.

The bird was huge, as big as a pullet, big and fat.

Xu Jing didn't expect him to have such a harvest, so he quickly asked the Overwatch to scan to see if the W-ray in Big Bird's body was within the safe value.

The scans are good, the bird on the left is edible, the one on the right is not.

Xu Jing glanced at Qi Yunzhi and said, "Brother Qi, the bird in your hand is poisonous and cannot be eaten. Put it back?"

Qi Yunzhi didn't ask anything, and immediately put the big bird back.

Xu Jing knew where the bird's nest was probably, so he couldn't help poking his probe forward.Under the dim light of the crescent moon, Xu Jing saw a huge bird's nest filled with six egg-sized eggs.

The big bird that was put back was frightened. Regardless of the hazy night, it flew away with a long scream, and probably no bird would come to pay attention to the nest of eggs left behind.

Xu Jing asked the Overwatch to continue scanning the nest of eggs. This time they were lucky. There were six eggs in a nest, all of which were edible.

Xu Jing carefully pocketed the eggs with his clothes. There was too much food, and his clothes couldn't fit.He simply took off his jacket, tied a firm knot at the hem, and then put the pumpkin and taro on the bottom, and the bird eggs on top, holding the bottom, and walked back with Qi Yunzhi.

Back to the river, Xu Jing started the fire again.He looked at the big bird. He didn't have tools to kill the bird. He planned to pick up a sharper stone and cut the bird's throat.

"Where are you going?" Qi Yun asked abruptly.

"Find a stone to kill the bird." Xu Jing motioned to cut the throat, "Without tools, there is no way to cut the throat and let the blood out."

Qi Yunzhi seemed to understand Xu Jing's gesture, and his slender fingers circled around the bird's neck, and then the whole bird's head fell off.

"!!!" Xu Jing swallowed.

However, when he saw the bird's blood dripping down, he couldn't care less, and hurriedly asked Qi Yunzhi to lift the bird up, and he took a porcelain bowl to catch the blood.

Bird blood is a great tonic, Xu Jing is reluctant to waste it.

After receiving the bird's blood, mix it with some river water, and put some salt water into it. After a while, the blood will coagulate into blood tofu.

After the big bird was completely dead, Xu Jing took the big bird and tentatively plucked it.The hair is so tight that Xu Jing can't pull it out without scalding it with boiling water.

He glanced left and right, intending to wash a banana leaf, pour bird blood tofu on it, and boil a bowl of water to pluck the bird feathers.

Qi Yunzhi saw his movement, took the big bird from his hand, and easily pulled out a lot of bird feathers, even the hardest wing feathers.

Xu Jing's eyes lit up, and he squatted aside and instructed him to pluck the hair, tear open the stomach, and clean the internal organs.

The intestines were not easy to deal with, so Xu Jing threw them directly into the river.

The river water has a certain self-purification ability, and with the fish in the river, there is no need to worry about pollution.

The whole big bird was cleaned. Xu Jing poked countless fine holes on it with a branch, massaged and marinated it carefully with salt and scallion leaves, then rubbed the pepper and scallion slices inside and out, wrapped it with banana leaves, and wrapped it up again. Spread wet mud on top and wrap into balls to keep from burning.

He put the simple version of the beggar flower and bird into the fire, put the bright yellow grease torn off in advance into a bowl, added water to boil, and then added salt and offal peppers to boil together.

The internal organs are cooked first, and a layer of oily flowers appear on the top. The slightly spicy and salty taste almost completely covers the fishy smell inside.

Xu Jing took the bowl down with an insulated banana leaf, let it cool slightly, and handed it to Qi Yunzhi a pair of simple chopsticks, "Brother Qi, let's eat the internal organs of this bowl while it's hot, it will be fishy when it's cold."

The cooking method of this bowl of offal is a bit like Malatang, but it is much simpler than Malatang. Nevertheless, this bowl of offal is still incredibly delicious.

The whole bowl of offal is tender and hot, and each part has a different taste, but they are all delicious.

For the first time since Xu Jing regained consciousness, he felt the satisfaction of eating meat. He couldn't help but bend his eyes, his clear pupils seemed to be shining, and Qi Yunzhi kept looking at him, unable to move his eyes away.

He reminded Qi Yunzhi while exhaling, "Brother Qi, be careful of burning. Don't eat the yellow ointment first, we will use it to cook blood tofu later."

When Qi Yunzhi heard this, he turned his chopsticks and picked up the bird liver.The expression on his face didn't change, but his eyes clearly showed satisfaction.

Xu Jing smiled at him, and when the internal organs in the bowl were finished, he put the bowl back on the fire, then cut the blood tofu into pieces, and after the blood tofu changed color, he sprinkled the last bit of chopped green onion on top.

The viscera tastes thicker, but the blood tofu is extremely tender. When you sip it with the tip of your tongue, the whole mouth is full of umami.

The two sat in front of the fire, surrounded by the burnt black rough porcelain bowl placed on the banana leaf, and finished eating while exhaling, even Qi Yunzhi had a smile on his face.

After washing the dishes, the two waited for flowers and birds to be called.

Xu Jing wrapped the pumpkin, taro, beans and a few peppers in banana leaves, carefully tied them up, and wrapped the bird's eggs in another banana leaf, hid them together in the grass, and told Qi Yun To, "Brother Qi, this is our food reserve, we will eat these again tomorrow."

After reacting for a while, Qi Yunzhi nodded solemnly, his eyes sparkling.

The beggar has been turned over by Xu Jing several times, and the mud ball outside has dried up.

Xu Jing pulled out the mud ball and knocked it open with a stone.

As soon as the beggar opened it, a very strong meaty smell permeated the air, even though the two of them were already half full, smelling the smell of meat made them hungry again.

Xu Jing used several layers of folded banana leaves to insulate the heat, put the simmered beggars and the outer burnt yellow banana leaves on clean banana leaves, and slowly took them apart.

A burst of hot aroma emanated from the bird meat inside, attacking the two of them.

Through the banana leaves, Xu Jing simply split the bird meat into pieces and motioned to Qi Yunzhi, "Brother Qi, eat it while it's hot."

Bird meat is very tough and not easy to tear apart.Xu Jing accidentally tore the banana leaf through the banana leaf, and got some gravy on his hands, and he couldn't help sucking his fingers.

As soon as the delicious gravy touched the taste buds, Xu Jing's appetite was revived.He couldn't help but put a piece of bird meat wrapped in the banana leaf and put it in his mouth to bite.

The bird meat is tender and delicious, with salty and chili flavors. The bird skin is smooth and full of fat, so delicious that it makes people want to cry.

For the first time since Xu Jing woke up, he really felt happy.

The two ate the big bird, bit the bones and sucked it, and finally sat in front of the fire with their stomachs in their arms and sighed contentedly.
