Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 593
The two of them had just walked to the door, and before they could speak, they heard an old man with a complexion like the gravel around him coming out of the house.

The old man is not very tall, and his back is a little stooped. Looking at Zhuang Qiu and Huayuelou, he seems very surprised.

Hastily asked.

"Where did this person come from? How did he come here?"

Zhuang Qiu heard that what the old man said was close to Arabic, and he could barely understand it.

Zhuang Qiu briefly explained the ins and outs of the future to the old man.

After listening, the old man looked at the chapped lips of the two, and very enthusiastically invited Hua Yuelou and Zhuang Qiu to the room for a short rest.

As soon as they entered, for some reason, the two felt that the temperature in the room was much lower.

The long-lost feeling of cooling made Huayuelou and Zhuang Qiu feel a burst of comfort.

The two found a sealed jar, and the top of the jar was tightly sealed with white cloth.

The old man opened the jar carefully, as if it was very precious.

The tiles on the top were lifted, and inside the jar was slowly a large jar of water.

The old man scooped up a bowl of water and handed it to Zhuang Qiu.

After Zhuang Qiu took it, he thanked the old man repeatedly, and then handed the water to Huayuelou.

The moment Huayuelou saw the water, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Seeing the water being handed over, he quickly picked it up and drank it.

The water in this bowl doesn't look very clean, showing a light yellow color.

But for Zhuang Qiu and Huayuelou, they can't care so much in this desert anymore, this is the medicine for the two of them to continue their lives.

It's better than dying of thirst in the desert.

After Huayuelou finished drinking, Zhuang Qiu also got a bowl of water.

The old man was very kind and generous and said that he was not in a hurry, and there would be more after drinking.

Zhuang Qiu waved his hand, knowing that this water is also extremely precious to the old man.

It is also very difficult for the elderly to get water.

After Zhuang Qiu and Huayuelou took a rest, they quickly recovered their strength.

Then chatted with the old man.

"How many years have you lived here?"

Huayuelou was the first to ask.

For people to survive in such an extreme desert environment, Huayuelou still feels very unreal.

The old man said that he had lived in this great desert since he was born, and his parents were both descendants of Kerry Polk.

Starting from here, heading southeast is where their town is located.

There lived many aborigines like him who lived in public in the desert.

The reason why I am here is because I have been walking in the desert all year round. For convenience, I left such a cabin in the center of the desert.

"You are really lucky. If I come one day later, I will leave here."

Zhuang Qiu and Hua Yuelou also felt the same way.

"So there are still so many people living in this desert."

"In fact, many deserts are populated by people, just like the deserts in our country. We only discovered in the 90s of the last century. There is actually a village in the center of the desert. No one has discovered this village before."

"That's right, I've read the news too. It's said that people in this village have lived there for generations and have never gone out to that desert."

"This desert is not only a desperate situation, but also the best natural barrier to isolate the dangers from the outside world. It is like a paradise. Nothing outside will break the tranquility and peace of the indigenous people in this desert."

"Indeed."

"Zhuang Qiu and Hua Boss are really lucky."

"Isn't it? If it weren't for this cabin, I don't know how to get out alive."

……

Zhuang Qiu and Hua Yuelou continued to chat with the old man for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, the old man took down half a goat from the hook beside it.

The old man smiled and said to Zhuang Qiu.

"Have you ever eaten raw sheep's eggs?"

Zhuang Qiu froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"This really doesn't exist."

"In our understanding, eating raw sheep eggs for guests is our highest welcome ceremony, expressing our love and respect for guests. I wonder if you can accept it?"

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the knife beside him and cut off the sheep egg.

Zhuang Qiu took it respectfully, put the small piece of fat-like white meat in front of his nose and smelled it.

A smell of mutton came to my face.

Zhuang Qiu couldn't help frowning.

"Sheep egg? Is that what I think, or is Master Zhuang's translation wrong?"

"I once thought I heard it wrong. Is it really a sheep's egg?"

"No upstairs, you heard it right, you can see where he cut it with a knife, it is indeed the sheep's egg."

"I'll go, is this really edible?"

"It is true that some people will eat sheep's eggs, which is no problem, but eating them raw? Sashimi with sheep's eggs? What a horrible way to eat them. I can feel the smell of mutton and fishy smell through the screen."

"That's right, don't you usually eat sheep's eggs cooked over a fire? At least, this is the first time I've heard that sheep's eggs can be eaten raw."

"Ham, do as the Romans do. This is the way people express their welcome. You think it's disgusting, but in the eyes of others, this may be a rare delicacy. I'll leave it to you."

"Compared to the smell of mutton, I personally feel a deep egg pain for this sheep."

"Brother, to be honest, at the moment this old man cut it off with a knife, I also felt a burst of "egg pain"!"

……

Zhuang Qiu looked at Huayue Tower with a questioning tone in his eyes.

Huayuelou frowned.

But after so many days of survival in the desert, Huayuelou found that her acceptance of food seemed to be much stronger.

With the idea of ​​respecting others' kindness and curiosity, Huayuelou finally nodded.

Without further ado, Zhuang Qiu took out a knife, split the egg in his hand into two, and gave half to Huayuelou.

Huayuelou took it over, and the two of them glanced at the same time, and then put the sheep's egg into their mouths at the same time.

Zhuang Qiu frowned as soon as it entered his mouth, but he still swallowed it alive.

Huayuelou vomited it out with a wow.

It's just too disgusting to eat.

As soon as it entered his mouth, the stench and mutton smell rushed straight to his heavenly cap.

It felt like having a piece of lard soaked in urine in your mouth.

Zhuang Qiu explained the performance of the two, hoping that there would be no misunderstanding.

The old man waved his hand kindly, indicating that this is all normal.

Few of the foreigners I have met in my life can accept this food.

After speaking, the two set up a wooden frame and put the remaining mutton on the branches.

Prepare a sumptuous dinner for Zhuang Qiu and Huayuelou.

The sun was setting, and the burning firewood was burning with white smoke.
