Chapter 450: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
The child picked up a dead leaf cocoon and tore it open. A large white fleshy worm thicker than Gu Li's finger fell out of it.
Gu Li jumped and hid behind Gu Mancang.
I hate these boneless soft-bodied creatures the most. Ahhh! I feel so itchy!
The child threw away the outer cocoon, pinched the squirming big white worm, pinched off the black part at one end of the worm with his bare hands, then glanced at Gu Li and threw it directly into his mouth.
Gu Li just wanted to scream a few times to vent the nausea that was rising in her body.
But she covered her mouth, not wanting to look so ignorant.
Although Gu Li had never eaten insects, how could a child who grew up running in the mountains not know that many insects are edible?
Put it on the fire and roast it, it will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and some of them will burst. It is better than pork with a fishy smell.
She has eaten roasted cicada monkey!
But Gu Li had never seen such a big worm, it looked like an enlarged version of a toilet maggot. Just one look at it made her eyeballs hurt, and when she saw the fat body twisting, she almost vomited the steamed bun she had eaten the previous night.
The child simply threw the wriggling insect directly into his mouth.
Ugh~
Gu Mancang's eyes lit up, "Is this a chicken bug?"
The child licked the nonexistent juice on his lips with great satisfaction, "This is a grub, you can eat it, I'll give it to you!"
Gu Mancang once went to the south when he was on a escort mission, and he saw people in the villages there specifically looking for this to eat.
It’s just called differently, I didn’t expect it to exist here too.
"Are all these given to us?" Gu Mancang asked, pointing at a pile of dead leaf cocoons on the ground.
"Yeah. Thanks for saving me!"
Gu Li pushed her father to pick up the chicken worms. She stood there and asked, "Where did you pick this up?"
The child looked at Gu Li warily, and didn't seem to want to tell her.
"We not only need food, we also need water!" Gu Li said bluntly without feeling embarrassed at all.
Gu Mancang lowered his head even lower in embarrassment and quickly picked up the cocoon on the ground and put it into his clothes pocket.
The child looked up at Gu Li in surprise. This woman was really shameless. There were many people who were racking their brains over stuttering. He had given her so many grubs, and she still wanted to ask him for water!
"I don't have any water either!" The child refused bluntly!
Although the child's lips were pale and bloodless, they were not like their cracked lips that had been cracked and healed after being thirsty for a long time, and then cracked again and bled.
Gu Li stood with her arms folded, looking down at the child on the ground, as if to say, "I'm going to see you lying, and if you don't give me water, I'm going to kick you back into the pit."
Gu Li tilted her eyes and glanced at the trap hole behind the child.
The child swallowed and persisted.
Gu Mancang saw that the confrontation between the two children would not produce any results in a short period of time, and as an adult, he would not really embarrass a child. He asked, "Where did you pick up this chicken worm? Just take us there."
The child's wolf-like eyes darted towards Gu Mancang, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Li rushed over and slapped the kid on the head, "What are you doing? What are you doing? What kind of look is that? We are your saviors, how dare you look at my dad like that!"
The kid was rebellious, waving his hands and shaking his head, "Don't touch my head!"
Gu Li was so angry that she almost laughed. This kid wanted to compete with her in rebellion?
Gu Li jumped up and slapped him again. There was a loud thud and Gu Mancang felt the pain just by hearing it.
He pulled Gu Li back in time and said, "This chicken beetle likes shade and humid environment. I just want to look for edible wild vegetables where you found the chicken beetle."
Gu Mancang even thought about digging a hole there to seep out some groundwater.
After Gu Mancang finished speaking, the child closed his mouth even tighter.
Gu Li became even more suspicious. This brat must have something he didn't want them to find out, and it must be related to these bitches, so he was so wary of their prying into him.
"Dad, carry him out." Gu Li's eyes rolled, "Let him see how people out there live to survive."
The child tensed up, "No!"
Gu Li tried several times to reach out and pull the child away but failed. She didn't know what was on his body, which was dirty, smelly, and hurt his eyes and nose.
Seeing Gu Mancang walking towards him, the child actually said, "You'd better throw me back into the cave!" He didn't want them to save him.
Gu Li and Gu Mancang looked at each other. Even so, they refused to tell where the chicken-necked insects lived. There must be some unspeakable secret.
Mostly it is related to food or water sources.
Gu Mancang became serious and was about to reach out to touch the child when he heard the sound of animals running quickly in the depths of the forest.
Gu Mancang picked up the broken child on the ground, put his other hand in front of his daughter, and quickly backed away from the trap.
In the forest, people cannot outrun animals and can only lead them into ready-made traps.
The child struggled in Gu Mancang's hands, and Gu Mancang warned in a low voice, "Don't move, it's dangerous."
Unexpectedly, the kid struggled even harder, and Gu Li was so angry that she wanted to hit him on the head!
"My father told you not to move. Don't think about committing suicide and dragging us down!"
The little brat grabbed Gu Mancang's hand and opened his mouth to bite it, but Gu Mancang immediately let go. Gu Li, who was quick-eyed and quick-footed, stepped on the little kid who fell to the ground.
Broken child:-----
After all the operations, they were still stepped on by others. This father and daughter are poisonous, just like they had discussed it beforehand, their actions were perfectly matched.
"Whoosh."
An arrow shot from behind a big tree. Gu Mancang's face changed. He picked up his daughter with one hand and held her in his arms, then rolled on the ground and hid to the side.
While dodging, he still did not forget to take the child with him.
The child was dragged by Gu Mancang by one of his legs and was dragged far away. His wound was touched and he cried out in pain.
Gu Li looked back at the place where the arrow had entered the ground, then turned towards the forest which had returned to peace.
The arrows were aimed at her.
If they were enemies, wouldn't they normally shoot the more aggressive opponents first? Of the three of them, anyone with eyes would choose to kill Gu Mancang first!
Why would you shoot her as a child?
Gu Li kicked the broken kid on the ground, "Is it related to you?"
The child who was kicked in the wound howled in pain, and the man in the woods shot another arrow.
Gu Mancang used his knife to block the crudely made arrows and shouted in the direction of the arrows, "Come out, don't force me to do it!"
A cold light flashed on the side of the sword, and the only sound in the woods was the groan of pain from the little kid.
Gu Li squatted down, picked up a branch, and poked the edge of the little boy's wound, "Cry louder, your family is here to look for you!"
The little brat glared at Gu Li fiercely, but Gu Li was not afraid at all.
He’s just a little brat, can’t your sister cure him?
"Sister, I just want to find something to eat. You just need to tell me the place and I'll find it myself. Is that not possible? We saved your life. Isn't your life worth a few insects?"
The little brat gritted his teeth.
Gu Li clicked her tongue twice, "I didn't expect you to be such a stubborn person, you would rather-----"
Before Gu Li finished speaking, the little brat instantly broke down and yelled, "I am a man, a man."
