Leopard Tooth

Li Jianrui suppressed the urge to run away, turned his head to look at Zheng Jingang, and asked in grief and indignation: "You fucking let labor eat this."

Zheng Jingang looked at the mound not far away with a smile, licked his lips, and looked like he was waiting for a big meal: "This is it, delicious, much more delicious than fucking ants climbing a tree,"

Seeing Zheng Jingang's greedy look, Li Jianrui felt that he could no longer communicate with him, so he turned to Wu Guoyun and asked, "What's going on, I really want to eat this."

Wu Guoyun also smiled, but he still seemed very sensible: "Well, just eat this. I have eaten it. It tastes good, and it is easy to make and easy to store. The key is that the nutritional value is super high,"

Li Jianrui was completely defeated. He used to go hunting in the mountains. Except for hares, he never ate any delicacies. Lack of interest, now the two guys fooled him over and ate bugs, which really made it difficult for him to accept for a while.

But now that he has come, he has done a lot of strenuous work, and he has not eaten yet, and his stomach is so hungry that Li Jianrui really wants to take out the dry food in his backpack and eat it.

Wu Guoyun continued: "In the tropical rainforest, there are actually many things that can be eaten, especially the fruits, but the fruits are difficult to store. Although they can be hunted, the meat is even more difficult to preserve, and it is easy to attract other beasts. If you If you want to save it, you can only roast it. I heard that out of ten barbecues in the rainforest, nine died, and the remaining one was also disabled. Hehe, Li Jianrui, don’t expect to eat meat when you go to the tropical rainforest, unless you are in the camp ,"

Wu Guoyun's words dispelled Li Jianrui's last hope. It is best to keep the dry food. It can be used to save lives at critical moments, and it is completely vacuum-sealed. The shelf life is more than three years. Now the meat can't be eaten, and the fruit is not easy to carry. Putting it in a backpack, in such a humid and high-temperature environment, it might rot in less than a day. Military backpacks are all waterproof and have a good airtightness.

Li Jianrui nodded dejectedly. In fact, he lowered his head and looked at the water in front of him. There were already many flying insects falling on the water surface of the empty can. He watched the flying insects struggling in the water, as if they wanted to spread their wings and fly away. Walking, but being sucked by the tension of the water surface, it quickly loses its activity.

He raised his head again and looked at the mound not far away. The bugs were still gushing out, flying madly towards the flames, reflecting light from the flames in the empty jar.

"What kind of bug is this?" Li Jianrui asked.

"Termites like to gnaw on wood and light. At night, as long as there is light, they will frantically gather," Zheng Jingang replied.

Only then did Li Jianrui know that Zheng Jingang didn't lie to him at first, it was really an ant, but termites were much bigger than ordinary ants, and they could fly, he had never seen this kind of insect before.

Seeing more and more corpses in white clothes piled up on the water, Li Jianrui resisted the nausea and churning in his stomach, and asked, "How do you eat this thing?"

Zheng Jingang then turned his head, the corners of his mouth were turned up, his snow-white teeth gleamed in the firelight: "Do you like to eat raw or deep-fried?"

Li Jianrui felt disgusted no matter how he thought about it, and his face was so ugly.

"This thing can be eaten raw or fried, but if you want to preserve it, you can only fry it," Wu Guoyun said.

Li Jianrui asked: "What about the oil, how do you fry without oil?"

"There's no oil, so I had to eat it raw," Zheng Jingang said with a smirk.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm scaring you. I've already made a bottle. When the collection is almost done, I'll change to another place. At that time, I will fry all these termites, and each person will have a share," Wu Guoyun said.

Zheng Jingang didn't speak, squatted down, picked up a handful of termites in the water tank, put them in his mouth, chewed them a bit and said, "It's delicious to eat like this, but, Li Jianrui, I advise you to eat fried ones."

Li Jianrui watched Zheng Jingang's movements, couldn't help it anymore, turned his head and ran under the big tree next to him, retched a few times, but he didn't eat anything for most of the day, the banana he ate before had already been digested completely, He didn't even vomit water.

Both Zheng Jingang and Wu Guoyun turned their heads to look at the dead termites in the water. In fact, when they ate this for the first time, they did not perform better than Li Jianrui.

Wu Guoyun still remembers that the first time he ate termites was on a mission. At that time, he had just been transferred to an emergency response unit in BJ, and he followed the mission. A team of five had to cross a tropical rainforest in order to perform the mission. Although they are fully armed, the dry food on their bodies is only three days' worth. Generally, this kind of semi-training mission can only bring three days' dry food at most, because there is still a lot of combat equipment to carry.

The team walked in the rainforest for a week. He ate up the dry food at the beginning, but the old team members kept the dry food. They ate fruits or other things while walking, and later they simply ate termites and various insects. , Just don’t eat dry food.

As a mechanic, Wu Guoyun didn't know much about field missions. He thought it was a blow to him by veteran soldiers, but after three days, he realized that dry rations were always saved until the end, even when the mission was over. It is possible that there is no such thing as a bite of dry food for the march.

At noon on the fourth day, the veterans shared a portion of homemade fried termites with Wu Guoyun. At that time, like Li Jianrui, he held back his nausea and ate a handful with great reluctance. Before he could taste the taste, he threw up Well, that situation was exactly the same as Li Jianrui's now, he couldn't vomit anything, and his stomach was empty.

Later, when there was no food, he slowly learned to eat fried termites, and then followed the veterans, eating everything. Of course, this was an extremely impressive one among his limited number of field missions. That time completely changed Wu Guoyun's eating habits.

So he didn't say anything, because he knew Li Jianrui's mood too well at the moment, except for nausea, it was disgusting, and it was useless to listen to anything, only when he was so hungry that he had to eat, the oppression of hunger would suppress his long-term eating habits cause an instinctive reaction.

It can be said that Li Jianrui feels sick and wants to vomit now, just because he is not hungry enough.

If you are really hungry, even if it is a stone that looks like a potato, you will pounce on it and take a bite. In another hour, Li Jianrui will probably experience a similar feeling, and Wu Guoyun is obviously prepared. When he collects Once there are enough termites, they will leave and go to other places for cooking. Fried termites are indeed easier to accept than eating them raw.

This is also Wu Guoyun's painstaking efforts. He has seen many soldiers die in field missions. He thinks Li Jianrui is very pleasing to the eye, so he will make some preparations for him.
