Following Xuanming and Xuanying's example, Gu Xiaoran also started barbecuing.
Before it was even cooked, he placed the skewer of scorpions he was holding near Lightning's mouth.
"Try it, is it cooked yet?"
Lightning, undeterred, opened its mouth and began to gnaw, crunching and snapping.
The scorpion made a crisp sound in its mouth, which made Gu Xiaoran smile and made Zhu Juan... feel uncomfortable.
Gu Xiaoran took another skewer of scorpions, grilled it briefly, and was about to take a bite when Zhu Juan was startled.
"Young master, it's not cooked yet."
Xuanming and Xuanying also tried to stop it.
"Isn't it cooked yet?" Gu Xiaoran listened to the crackling sound of lightning, eager to taste the scorpion.
But then Xuan Ying reached out and handed over the scorpion skewers he had just grilled.
"Eat this."
Gu Xiaoran reached out and took it; an enticing aroma wafted to her nose.
He opened his little mouth and took a bite.
Zhu Juan dared not look and abruptly closed her eyes, only to hear a crisp crunching sound coming from Gu Xiaoran's mouth.
Gu Xiaoran: "It's delicious." When people are extremely hungry, even insects taste good.
Gu Xiaoran ate with great relish.
The second string of pearls was handed to Zhu Juan by Xuanming.
Zhu Juan waved her hand; she didn't dare eat it, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, Xuanming insisted and handed it to her.
"Eat up, or we'll all starve."
Zhu Juan hesitated for a long time, holding the scorpion string, but still didn't dare to take a bite.
Listening to Gu Xiaoran's chewing sounds, she hesitated, felt uneasy, and struggled internally...
“Juan’er, just think of it as ordinary food, and you won’t feel anything special,” Xuanming continued.
Seeing Xuanming take one of the scorpions from the string in her hand, put it directly into his mouth, and begin to chew...
Zhu Juan steeled herself, closed her eyes, took the first bite, and swallowed it whole.
Once you take the first bite, you'll take the second...
When you're starving, what wouldn't you dare eat?
Xuanming is right, unless they starve to death.
Xuanming, Xuanying, and Zhu Juan grilled skewers one after another, while Gu Xiaoran and Shandian ate theirs instead.
The entire barbecue process,
Xuanming and Xuanying brought out almost all the poisonous scorpions in the area.
They skewered scorpions, grilled them, and ate their fill... It was truly a peculiar and extraordinary night.
Tonight's dinner is quite unusual.
The four people and the dog finally had a good meal.
But this meal took up a lot of their time.
Looking at the sky, it was already midnight.
Gu Xiaoran's once-flat stomach gradually became rounder.
Even the lightning bolts beside him were hit quite a bit.
Gradually, Gu Xiaoran fell asleep in front of the brightly lit woodpile.
Zhu Juan held him in her arms, hugging his small body tightly.
Leaning against the poplar branches, I closed my eyes and began to sleep.
Seeing this, Xuanming took off his outer garment and covered Gu Xiaoran and Zhu Juan with it.
Zhu Juan opened her eyes, shook her head and said, "Brother Xuanming, you won't be able to take this."
Xuanming wasn't wearing much to begin with.
Even the strongest body can't withstand that.
"It's alright, I can withstand the cold." Xuanming smiled and said nonchalantly.
Xuan Ying added some firewood, and upon hearing Xuan Ming's last words, he also took off his outer garment and covered Zhu Juan and Gu Xiaoran with it.
Zhu Juan was deeply moved and, unable to refuse, silently added another bundle of firewood.
Gradually, they fell asleep under the clear night sky.
The dry branches were still burning, so the bodies of the four people and the dog weren't too cold.
Two men surrounded Zhu Juan and Gu Xiaoran, shielding them from the night wind.
Lightning lay beside them, always guarding its little master.
Before they knew it, their firewood pile gradually went out.
Just at dawn the next day,
The sky, which had darkened slightly, became gloomy and watery.
