"Advise you to drink more wine, there is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west~ah~ah~"
Chu Shen gave the money to the coachman, and even the coachman was unwilling to go west beyond Yangguan, so Chu Shen had to go on foot by himself.
It may take ten days and half a month to find Shen Lan...
The farther west you go, the fewer people there are.The grass and trees also faded, as if they had withdrawn from their green spring clothes.Even in spring, the place is bare, and it is very difficult to graze livestock.Apart from scorpions and snakes, Chu Shen had never seen any other animals along the way.
At first, I was not used to it, but I got used to it gradually... In his spare time, Chu Shen would make some interesting food according to local conditions.
For example, scorpions and snakes are two kinds of food, Chu Shen is still very courageous. After all, these two kinds of food have no effect on him, so he will collect those scorpions and remove the tail stings.Although he brought a lot of food along the way, compared to scorpions and snakes, the other food is not novel at all.It can be eaten, but it tastes very ordinary. After all, there is not much room for making on this road.Although there are some bacon (bacon appeared in the Han Dynasty), it doesn't taste good without various ingredients.
Chu Shen shook the large number of scorpions in the jar. In the past three days, he caught [-] or [-] scorpions alone. After removing the tail spines and internal organs, he was ready to fry the scorpions.
The internal organs of the scorpion are not many, and the bottom of the scorpion needs to be cut open with a knife, and the inside can be emptied before eating.The meat of the scorpion is actually not much, but the carapace of the whole scorpion is also a very delicious point.
Light a fire, use the pan as a container, put in pepper, salt, and cooking wine to marinate briefly, get rid of the fishy smell of the scorpion, and then add oil... Prepare to fry, this is also the first time for Chu Shen to eat scorpion, and it is also the first time to try cooking... So whether it tastes good or not depends entirely on the strength of the scorpion itself.
However, Chu Shen did not notice that there was a small team of people in the continuous desert to the west.
It is not accurate to say that there are people and horses. There are only people and no horses.Moreover, these people were all dressed in tatters. All five of them looked severely malnourished, their faces were pale, and the little girl among the five was holding her stomach and struggling forward, staggering...
"Hey! Who are you?" Chu Shen turned around and was shocked when he saw five pairs of green eyes.
"We..." The leading man swallowed before he could speak.
They didn't speak and Chu Shen understood that they probably escaped from the Western Regions...
"Father, mother, I'm so hungry!" The child's voice was obviously short of breath. There will be some cacti along the way that can be eaten, but those things are not bad for replenishing water, and they are far from replenishing energy.
"Come here, I still have something to eat." Chu Shen expressed his kindness, and took out all kinds of meat from his backpack. Along the way, in order to improve his combat effectiveness, Chu Shen was also training with heavy weights. Yes, so this extremely exaggerated travel bag is stuffed with nearly twenty catties of things.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you kind people!"
Chu Shen felt light in his hand, and they snatched the bacon that he just took out.How hungry are these people? They completely disregarded the fact that some dirty bacon hadn't been cooked yet, so they began to bite one by one.Except for the child who couldn't bite, this group of people looked like zombies.
Chu Shen looked at these people and sighed: "Hey, one bite is enough, this thing hasn't been made yet, do you want to just eat a big piece like this?"
Everyone was also taken aback, but Chu Shen smiled: "Would you like to try the fried scorpion first?"
"Is it really edible? Big brother?"
"Yes you can."
Chu Shen decanted the oil in the pan, leaving only the hot scorpion, and placed it on the iron plate.Then take the bacon that has been chewed several times, slice it, and then burn it in oil and heat it up.
After removing the tail spine and internal organs, the scorpion can actually swallow it in one gulp.
These people were very hungry and did not hesitate.Even the little girl picked one up. Although it was very hot, she quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
The deep-fried and crispy carapace was easily torn apart by the teeth in the mouth. The crackling sound of chewing made everyone look at each other with surprise in their eyes.The strange scent of the scorpion mixed with the scent of various accessories, echoed between the lips and teeth together with the crushed carapace.
For them, as long as they can eat, whether it is a scorpion or a poisonous snake, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs.
Can scorpions be so fragrant?In fact, there is not much fragrance, but hunger makes them amplify their various senses.So even the mediocre fried scorpions can be chewed and chewed in these people's mouths, until the last piece of carapace has turned into crumbs, and then they reluctantly swallow it into their mouths...
Food is meant to be eaten. For those who eat it, whether it is delicious or not is their own business.Chu Shen was only responsible for providing food, so he was relieved to see the expressions of these hungry people all the way.
In addition to fried scorpions, there are also god-level recipes such as iron plate bacon... But to them, it doesn't matter whether it is iron plate, after all, they are hungry, even if it is soil and water, they still want to eat of.
"How did you get down to this point?"
Chapter 274 270. It's all a dish
On the road to the Western Regions, there are many of these fleeing Western Region residents.The Western Regions have suffered years of drought, and the current emperor is controlled by a certain boss, who intends to isolate the source of the Silk Road. Without the support of the Central Plains, the Western Regions today can be said to be full of disasters.
Hungry and dying everywhere, mourning everywhere, changing children to eat...
No matter how powerful Chu Shen was, he couldn't help everyone here.
According to the territory of the later celestial dynasties, this can be regarded as a key plateau area in China in the future, but now that it has encountered such a catastrophe, Chu Shen can't bear to look at it. The distribution has been exhausted. He himself can kill scorpions and snakes to satisfy his hunger, but these ordinary people don't have such ability... If you can help one person, can you help everyone?Does not.
But someone can help. When the Heavenly King was still in the Western Regions, he made the entire Western Regions prosperous.It's a pity that the Tianlong Sect developed too fast, which made the sects in the Central Plains quite vigilant... The Heavenly King was besieged by the famous and decent masters of the entire martial arts, and was finally imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple... During the 20 years that the Heavenly King was imprisoned, the Western Regions are now in decline.The current leader of the Dragon Sect, Dragon King, is a very ambitious guy, but he doesn't have the same political ambitions as his brother.
Does the world need to change?It is indeed necessary, but unfortunately, it is difficult for him to change the whole country by himself, so he should think about it carefully.
Scattered villages also appeared in Chu Shen's eyes, and there were still some villagers from the Western Regions struggling to survive.
Around the houses made of mud, many villagers are queuing.
In the middle of the village, Shen Lan, who is like a landscape here, is indifferently asking everyone for medical treatment.
"Miraculous doctor! Look at my son! He has been vomiting and diarrhea all day!"
Shen Lan nodded. She first looked at the young man's tongue coating, then opened her eyelids and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally felt the pulse. This is probably the so-called observation.Chu Shen didn't go up either, but just looked at her silently from a distance. He also had complicated thoughts about Shen Lan. This kind of arrogant woman might be more popular with him... It would be a lie if he said he didn't like her. It's just that the change from pity to pity to liking at the beginning was quite subtle.Of course, not everyone is like this. For example, Chu Shen admires women like Xili and Laura more.
"It's nothing serious. It should be that the scorpions in the desert ate too much and were poisoned. I asked Hong'er to inject some toxins that can neutralize each other. You'll be fine if you take a rest."
"Thank you doctor! Thank you doctor!"
Shen Lan's complexion was also very solemn. She looked at these yellow and thin people. It is true that eating scorpions is easy to be poisoned, but the people here have nothing to eat except scorpions.When she came here, even if it was a free clinic, she knew that she would not be able to stay for long. Ordinary people had a miserable life, but those nobles from the Western Regions were all fat and big-eared.It's like a scene where rich people smell of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road...
Shen Lan's consultation time was very long, and many of them were due to various complications such as anemia and dizziness caused by malnutrition, which were difficult even for her to deal with.
People who practice medicine seem to have the world in mind, and Shen Lan's mentality is actually similar...
But now, practicing medicine can't save these people.
"Shen Lan, do you think these people in the Western Regions can be saved by practicing medicine alone?"
Shen Lan was also taken aback when she heard the words, and when she saw Chu Shen standing aside smiling, she also showed a rather indifferent expression.
"Why don't you talk? I can see from your expression that you really feel sorry for these people."
"Do you have a solution?" Shen Lan still said it.
It is her dream to help the world by hanging pots and practicing medicine with poisonous techniques, but the ultimate dream is that people in the world can be healthy without doctors, and that would be great.
"There may be a solution, but it is still difficult to change the fate of everyone."
"Why are you here?"
"The reason why I came here is actually very simple, for you."
"..." Shen Lan looked at Chu Shen with the expression that you obviously asked the question knowingly.
"Well, I'm here to be a scumbag, and I like you."
"Are you looking for me to be your concubine?" The corner of Shen Lan's mouth twitched slightly, obviously mocking.
"Little concubine has been a thing for many years. You can call it lover or husband and wife, but I really like you very much. Maybe you can't accept Hai Lirui, and you can't accept a bastard like me. But I have one more thing to do when I come here this time, which is to bring you back."
Shen Lan just snorted, turned her head and walked towards the back door.
"Eh--!"
boom--!
The tightly closed wooden door touched Chu Shen's nose.
Chu Shen looked around, and all the villagers around looked as if they were going to fight him desperately.After all, Shen Lan's reputation here has been established recently. If he really brings her back forcibly, these people probably want to come over with a hammer and a sickle...
In desperation, Chu Shen also thought of a good way.Shen Lan is actually a very good girl, it's fine if she doesn't accept her, she must take her back.Since forcibly carrying it by oneself may cause commotion, it is better to suppress the possibility of commotion first.
The villages in the Western Regions were surrounded by a gray area, and Chu Shen began to wander around.
Even in such a desert, there is food to be found.In addition to scorpions, it should be snakes.As a rather terrifying reptile, snake meat is actually very delicious, but it is not easy to find snakes.It is necessary to look for dark and damp places such as tombs around, and to observe in detail...
Chu Shen was not a professional, so he had to dig out holes one by one. Anyway, he was not afraid of snakes.
In addition to snakes, there are also centipedes... In fact, fried is also edible, but centipedes are more dangerous than snakes. After all, snakes hide their poison in the belly at the end of their teeth, but centipedes are hidden in centipedes. If If you don't know how to deal with it, it's better not to try it casually.
"oh oh?"
Chu Shen looked at the ground. Could this be the entrance to a tomb?
There are some special-colored feces hidden at the entrance of the tomb hidden in the ground. Could there be snakes in it?
Without thinking too much, Chu Shen jumped in.There was a snake hissing in the dark tomb, and Chu Shen grinned: "I didn't expect this to be a snake den! God help me!"
These snakes don't understand what Chu Shen is thinking, but to Chu Shen, you are all a piece of cake!
ps: Thank you for the two blades of 'The Master of Rebellion'
Chapter 275 271. Snake Meat Soup
When Chu Shen came back, he was carrying a bag of snakes on his back. The shriveled backpack that had given all the meat to the refugees was now playing a role. Chu Shen took off the straps of the backpack and used it as a rope Also tied up the snakes.
At this time, the sky was dark, but there was no smoke in the village, and many people hadn't boiled a pot for a long time. Even if they wanted to eat, they had to boil all the wild vegetables collected from the surroundings.So when Chu Shen threw the snake corpses on the ground, those villagers who looked blank looked over.
"Everyone!"
Chu Shen mobilized his internal strength, allowing the voice to travel far away.
"Is there anyone who knows how to kill snakes? Come and help me deal with snake meat, I invite everyone to eat snake meat!"
He wanted to sleep and was handed a pillow. Chu Shen never expected to find the snake cave outside.
Soon there were villagers who volunteered to kill the snake.
The first thing to deal with is skinning, which is actually very simple, just like dealing with eels, find a wooden board, make a nail-like protrusion on the top of the board, hang the snake's head on the protrusion, and then use the snake's The body was cut open, and while the internal organs were being disposed of, the skin could also be easily peeled off. Chu Shen had to rely on the help of the villagers for the internal organs processing, so peeling the skin would not be a big problem.
I just don't know what these snake skins can do.
And there are quite a few snakes, at least thirty or forty. Although this is a village, there are actually only about ten households. If you really want to eat, maybe you can save it until tomorrow morning, anyway. The snake also looked quite plump.
Chu Shen skillfully chopped off the snake's head.
"That won't work." Shen Lan who didn't know when she appeared in the crowd said silently: "These snakes are not ordinary snakes. It is not enough to just cut off the snake's head. The best way is to cut the snake meat into pieces. Put it in a large container, and I use Hong'er's venom to pickle and neutralize it, so that all the toxins on the snake can be removed."
"Okay, let's do it like this, please lend me a bigger container!"
