Chapter 273: Mouth Twitching
Fairies don't have as complicated thoughts as humans. When Rabbit Nineteen and Rabbit Rongrong heard Zeng Anbang say that, they thought that he was really willing to be friends with them.
They were very happy and came to the door with a pot of spicy bone-eating ants.
The Zeng family who were preparing to have dinner: "..."
Zeng Anbang suddenly saw the rabbit brothers, his eyes widened and he almost ran away in fright.
"Brother Zeng..." Tu Rongrong shouted when he saw someone from a distance, "Your home is right here. We searched for a long time and asked many people before we found it."
Because it was a construction site, in order to save trouble and convenience, the site prepared a batch of tents for everyone.
The entire construction site is like a temporary small village, with various facilities distributed in an orderly manner.
The tent area occupies a large open space at the edge of the construction site, with tents closely connected together, like a gray-white ocean.
The tent is made of thick and durable material, which can effectively resist the cool breeze and occasional drizzle at night.
Narrow passages crisscross between the tents, and simple wooden boards are laid on the ground to prevent people from getting stuck in the mud on rainy days.
The refugees were not picky, having a tent was better than having no tent at all.
At this time, the tent area was filled with the breath of life.
After getting their meals from the canteen, each family would sit in front of the tent and eat on a simple elephant table made of a few stones and wooden boards.
The food at the construction site is pretty good. It’s the same porridge. When it’s used for charity in other places, the porridge is so thin that you can see the bottom of the bowl.
The porridge at the construction site is different. It is very thick and contains various things, sometimes sweet sweet potatoes, sometimes fragrant potatoes, and occasionally some meat particles.
This is also the reason why Zeng Anbang and his family were willing to stay after knowing the existence of the goblins - after all, if they leave here and go somewhere else, they might not even be able to fill their stomachs.
What’s the point of being a goblin if you can’t even fill your stomach?
"Why are you here?" Zeng Anbang's expression was a little stiff.
But Tu Rongrong seemed to have seen nothing. His eyes sparkled, his mouth stretched to his ears, and he said crisply, "Brother Zeng, please try this! This is specially sent by our tribe. They say it is for our health. It is delicious. Please don't hesitate to eat it together!"
As he spoke, he pushed the basin forward with both hands, and the rich aroma of the spicy bone-eating ants instantly spread. The aroma carried a unique spiciness and freshness, stimulating everyone's olfactory nerves.
Zeng Anbang looked at the pot of bone-eating ants, his face turned pale and red, his lips trembled slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Tu Shijiu spoke first.
Rabbit Nineteen said sincerely while gesturing, "Yes, you're welcome. I brought it over as soon as our young clan leader sent it over."
Zeng Anbang's mouth twitched.
Is he not used to eating bone-eating ants?
He didn't want to have contact with them.
The two men seemed to be unable to understand the other person's expression. They put the pot of bone-eating ants on the table, put two stones on the table as stools, and took out two pieces of cake distributed at the construction site from their waists.
He put the bone-eating ants into the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, with an intoxicated look on his face, and ate it with a "smacking crunch" sound.
"Why aren't you eating?" Rabbit Rongrong saw that they didn't move, and was still puzzled. "Hurry up and eat. It's such a big bowl, you can't eat much."
Goblins have big appetites, so this one bowl is definitely not enough, but who can blame us for the current conditions?
They really wanted to make friends with Zeng Anbang, otherwise they wouldn't have brought it over to share with them.
Zeng Anbang's wife Bai Lingxiu stood aside, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, her eyes full of hesitation and fear. She hid behind Zeng Anbang and whispered, "Is this... edible?"
What this means is, do we really want to have dinner with two goblins?
Zeng Anbang frowned, feeling conflicted.
Tu Shijiu directly gave Zeng Anbang's daughter Zeng Ranran a small bowl of it: "Ask your mother to peel it for you to eat. It's very delicious. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after having it. When your father makes money in the future, ask him to go to Yilan Village to buy it. Our young clan leader will help people in Yilan Village to watch the market."
"The bone-eating ants you usually eat are raised by our young chief. Our young chief may have done it. Many people like her."
…
Zeng Anbang couldn't pour out the bone-eating ants in his daughter Zeng Ranran's bowl. What's more, his little daughter hadn't eaten meat properly for a long time and was looking at him with eager eyes.
He sighed softly in his heart: "Eat it! I'll peel it for you. Don't let your mother peel it. Let your mother eat a few too."
Zeng Ranran's little face suddenly brightened up, and she was extremely happy: "Daddy, meat, it's delicious!"
She still remembered that her parents used to pick out the meat of bone-eating ants from the porridge for her to eat, and it was so delicious.
During this meal, probably only the Rabbit brothers and the ignorant Zeng Ranran enjoyed the meal. Zeng Anbang and his wife Bai Xiuling were not so at ease while eating.
After the rabbit brothers left, Zeng Anbang was also asked in a friendly manner by his "neighbors" on both sides, who asked them who those two people were and why they could eat such a big pot of meat when others were not getting enough to eat?
That’s fine, but why do they come to the construction site to work?
Zeng Anbang: “…”
How did he know that the goblin was coming to work at the construction site?

"Aqiu..."
Rabbit Rongrong sneezed.
When he looked up, he found Qingli standing outside his tent.
He blinked, thinking Qingli was here to look for his brother and was retreating, but he didn't expect Qingli was here to look for both of them.
Qingli had a blank expression on her face: "You brought that basin of bone-eating ants to that human to eat?"
"No, we ate together."
"You can't even eat enough yourself, yet you serve it to others. You really are..."
Rabbit Rongrong scratched his head and said, "They won't be full anyway. They won't be full even if we bring them to them. But they can be full. Humans have a small appetite. A few bone-eating ants are enough. Most of the food is eaten by Ranran and me."
"slowly?"
"Brother Zeng's daughter is only five years old. She is so cute, with a pair of pigtails and can barely speak..."
Qingli was speechless: "A five-year-old child can't even speak properly, are you sure there's nothing wrong with this child?"
"Ah?" Tu Rongrong was dumbfounded.
Just now at the dinner table, he kept praising other people's daughter for being cute, especially when he was talking, the words came out one by one, which was very interesting. Wasn't he poking at other people's wounds?
Tu Rongrong immediately turned around and asked his brother why he didn't remind him.
Rabbit Nineteen: "...I don't know."
He also thought it was cute that the little girl spoke like that.
Qingli wanted to touch her forehead: "You two..."
Isn’t this what humans say, good intentions lead to bad consequences?
Fortunately, he came over to ask, otherwise...
Afterwards, Qingli found a chance to observe and indeed found that the little girl was a little abnormal. Dull and silly, his reactions are slower than his peers.
The couple probably knew this, so her mother always took her with her wherever she went and hardly let her out of her sight.
Qingli immediately had an idea in her mind.
