Chapter 4 First acquaintance
Lu Ye’s consciousness was groggy.
He seemed to have had a dream. In the endless darkness, it seemed as if he was back as a baby again, lying in his mother's warm arms, with the sweet milk passing through his throat and falling into his belly, nourishing his body.
He felt as if he had been hungry for a long time. His body was like a dry land longing for the rain to fall. His appetite could not be filled, and his mouth and tongue were greedy for milk. No matter how much he drank, he always felt that it was not enough.
It’s just that my belly felt warm, but the taste of the milk quickly became weird.
The imagined sweetness turned into extremely bitter and sticky, with a vague earthy taste mixed in?
Lu Ye was a little confused, but his body was very sincere and he was still trying to suck in the "milk".
As the milk fell in large gulps, his body's five senses also quickly recovered.
The nose is filled with foul smelling turbid air.
In my ears I heard the slight crackling sound of firewood.
There was hot water mist hitting the skin.
Lu Ye opened his eyes.
He found himself half lying on the ground, with someone half supporting his neck.
And all around...
The temple is ruined, the Buddha is broken, the skull is on fire, the copper bell is the pot, and the water vapor is jumping happily on the pot.
The waiter, sitting cross-legged, holds a tile in one hand. There is "porridge" in the tile, and the tile has just left Lu Ye's lips.
Draw out a long, thin, shiny line in the air.
Just behind the copper pot, two naked corpses were lying there. One corpse had a leg bone inserted into it. The owner of the corpse looked at Lu Ye with a face that was pockmarked. anger.
Hiss...
Lu Ye took a breath of air.
All the previous memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
Traveling to another world, becoming a useless person, awakening his talents, fighting back with his bones, exhausting his energy, falling into coma...
Lu Ye closed his eyes in pain and took a deep breath.
Don’t chase the past. Farewell, parents, relatives and friends. Farewell. I feel like throwing up when I see the Fa Kao...
Nowadays, the most important thing is to live, live well, and work hard. Survive in this cannibalistic world...
He adjusted his mentality, opened his eyes, and tried his best to put on a smile on his face.
In front of you.
The dishman who almost cooked Zhongzhongshi with him was squatting in front of him, holding a tile in his hand.
"Thank you brother for helping me!"
Lu Zhi was grateful and squeezed out a voice from his throat. Due to his weak body, his throat had not spoken for a long time, and now when he opened his mouth, it seemed like two pieces of rust. The iron blocks rubbed together, making the sound hoarse.
He knew that he had fainted before and had no ability to resist at all.
If the cook opposite him was cruel and careless, he might have been cooked in that bell pot by now.
If nothing else, even if you leave yourself alone, you will become the shame of a time traveler who awakens the golden finger. It is very likely that you will faint and starve to death.
However, people did not take advantage of others' danger and distributed precious food to themselves.
This undoubtedly saved his life. Lu Ye was glad that his luck was not extremely bad.
It seems that people really cannot be judged by their appearance. This rookie brother has scars on his chest and abdomen, a pair of thick eyebrows, and his face looks sinister, but he is actually a good person.
It's just the food on the tiles...
Lu Ye looked at the tiles in the waiter's hands suspiciously, and then at the steaming bell pot next to the waiter.
Brush!
His face suddenly turned white.
Could it be that the "milk" I drank just now was scooped from that pot?
Who knows how many people have been cooked in that pot? Who knows what weird “ingredients” are in the pot now?
Lu Ye felt like his stomach was churning and he felt like vomiting.
“You save my life first, and then I’ll save yours. Isn’t this a matter of course?” The rookie brother replied carelessly, patting his chest, “My master taught me this, and I’m a martial arts practitioner. , I must repay my kindness..."
"Really speaking, you are my benefactor!"
He saw that Lu Ye looked wrong and stared straight at Zhong Guo beside him. He knew what Lu Ye was thinking as soon as he turned his eyes.
"Don't think too much," the dishman said with a smile, "Master taught me that you can't eat people even if you starve to death. Then you are not a beast? What I feed you is not human flesh."
"What we eat is the mixed noodles that the two gangsters kept close to home."
The way for refugees to survive is to always keep life-saving food close to home.
Even if the evil duo of cannibals are more troublesome to prepare and unable to store and carry later, life-saving food is the last thing to save life, and it will not be used unless it is a last resort. Moving lightly.
The waiter carefully took out a small gray bag from his arms. When he opened it, there was fine brown flour inside.
He moved his body and saw a small firewood pile behind him. On it was a broken pot that he found from somewhere, and there was still half a pot of porridge in it.
In order to reassure Lu Ye, the cook sat down cross-legged, poured the remaining porridge from the broken pot onto the tiles, and ate it hungrily.
Lu Ye smiled awkwardly and then put his heart into his stomach. Seeing that the dishman was eating deliciously, he felt that his stomach seemed to hurt again. This meant that he was not full at all, and he was still hungry and wanted to eat.
Just looking at the size of the broken pot, Lu Ye estimated that most of the pot of porridge had fallen into his stomach.
Lu Ye licked his lips, and in order to distract his stomach, he immediately started chatting with this rookie brother.
"We are destined to meet each other. May I ask this brother what his name is?"
Cai Ren: "I don't dare. My name is Wang Hu. The master and fellow apprentices all call me Hu Zi. "
"Master said that when you go out, you rely on friends. Since we have saved each other's lives, we are friends in life and death. "
"Don't worry, the mixed noodles are mine and they are yours."
As he spoke, he swallowed the leftover porridge in a few mouthfuls, licked the tiles clean, and then licked the broken pot. Lift it up.
Lu Zhiyi felt warm, this is not a tiger, this is obviously an angel!
This Angel Tiger looks a bit stern, and with his thick eyebrows, he looks a bit sinister. In fact, judging from his voice and actions, it is clear that he is a simple young man.
"Thank you, Brother Wang Hu..."
When he was moved to thank him, his eyes fell on the broken pot, and then he realized what kind of pot it was. It was clearly a broken iron helmet.
Wang Hu now lifted the helmet upside down. Looking at his posture, he was clearly preparing to lick the inside of the helmet.
Lu Ye immediately became nervous - if Wang Hu really wanted to lick the pot with his tongue, the food cooked in the pot in the future...
Fortunately, Wang Hu might have mixed it up There was too little noodles and the porridge was too thin. After carefully examining it for a long time, he finally put down his helmet.
Lu Ye finally let out a sigh of relief: "Brother Wang Hu, I'm here, Lu Ye..."
The two started talking.
It turns out that Wang Hu is not from this province, he is from Lin province.
His family was wealthy, and he liked to dance with swords and guns since he was a child. A year ago, a Wu Xiucai who returned to his hometown and was raised in honor opened a shop to accept apprentices.
He came to learn martial arts from his master. The master said that he was born with great strength. Although he was late in practicing martial arts, as long as he was willing to work hard, he might be able to reach the level of a bronze-skinned martial artist in the future, and he could also take the martial arts exam and gain fame. .
Wang Hu studied hard for a year and became an official disciple. He was about to learn the master's advanced martial arts, but this natural disaster happened.
When a natural disaster strikes, all the disciples take their parents and family members and follow their master on the road.
They were armed with knives, guns, and carriages. Most people would not dare to mess with them. Who would have expected that there was no food in the county and no food in the prefectural city. Everyone had no choice but to go to the provincial capital to survive.
As a result, they encountered a large group of bandits and broke up their team.
Wang Hu’s parents and family members died in the fighting. He broke out and rushed out. He was confused all the way and didn’t know the direction. He actually crossed the province to get here.
"During the chaotic battle, Master... Master, he..." Wang Hu's eyes suddenly turned red and he shed tears.
Lu Ye answered immediately.
"Brother Wang Hu, please give me my condolences. If your master knew that you could escape, he would be very pleased."
Wang Hu never left his master with these three words, and he must have a deep relationship between master and apprentice. Normally, Lu Ye's mind automatically conjured up a touching scene of an old martial artist standing guard, blocking many gangsters, and carving a way out for his disciples.
Wang Hu shook his head and said.
“Master saw that the thieves were so powerful that he left us brothers and family members behind, broke out of the siege and ran away without even looking back...”
Lu Ye: "..."
This master is really different in his words and deeds. He says one thing and does another.
At this time, it was getting dark outside. Wang Hu thought of sad things and didn't want to say more, so he lay down to rest on the stone platform of the statue.
Lu Ye also lay down on his side.
He silently recited the picture of fish and dragon in his mind, and a golden picture scroll immediately appeared in his mind.
In the ichthyosaur picture, the gray carp that was about to sink into the river has already floated on the water. All the dark gray scales on its body have faded and turned into light white. There are still dots of red scales on the fish's tail.
This pale white red-tailed carp roams in the river. In front of and behind it are countless carps of various colors that surpass it. In front of the thousands of carps is the towering Longmen Pass.
Although the light white carp is slow, it is not discouraged. It faces the direction of the dragon gate and moves straight forward without hesitation.
The scene of thousands of carps fighting for the crossing disappeared, and a few lines of writing appeared.
