Chapter 438: Dig more tomorrow!
"I guess there's a ruin out back there."
"Not necessarily. What if there is nothing?"
"Laughing, if there's nothing there, why would you go to so much trouble to build a wall? And look at the material, can it be cheap?"
"It's also..."
Anjiu rested his chin on the mouth of the bag and listened to the voices of those people.
She knew that this place was called the Abyss by those people, and it seemed that only people in high positions knew what was inside.
Grandma and the others also joined in the topic, guessing in low voices to each other.
But they don’t have the word abyss in their minds, so how could they possibly guess it?
When asked about Anjiu, she lazily lifted her eyelids and said casually: "It may be the dried-up seabed. The wall was built so high, it should have been to block something in the beginning."
Grandma and the others were stunned for a moment, and tried to figure out what the seabed was - unfortunately, they had never heard of this term.
After looking at each other, they all praised Anjiu for her reasonableness and thought her guess was the most accurate.
Anjiu couldn't help laughing. He put his hat on his head and continued to look at the high wall that reached into the sky.
If there was no shift change among the guards, Song Haizhi might have really been sent behind the wall.
What's over there?
Anjiu carefully recalled the last words the old teacher said before leaving -
“The abyss was named later. It is extremely large with no end in sight. Those who are sucked in rarely come out alive.
"It's dangerous and terrifying, but because of its large area and the only entrance to the land is blocked by a high wall made of special materials, you are safe..."
Anjiu looked at the high wall that was far beyond his sight and couldn't imagine how long this only gap was.
Think about it again, even the entrance and exit are so large, how vast would the abyss be?
She shuddered for no apparent reason and had no intention of going in.
As the car entered the ice and snow area, the temperature suddenly dropped.
She asked Aling and the grandmothers to huddle together in a circle, with their backs to the air vent to keep warm, and then took out the thermos bucket and cup from the cloth bag.
As soon as I opened the lid, a stream of hot air floated out of the cup, but was blown away by the cold wind.
Grandma took out the sugar cakes she had baked in the morning, gave one to each person, and urged everyone to eat quickly in a low voice.
Anjiu took out a few disposable cups and poured a cup of hot water into each person's cup, which could be held to keep warm and relieve thirst.
While eating the soft and sweet cakes and drinking the hot water, Aling and the grandmothers silently remembered this friendship in their hearts.
A group of people lowered their heads and ate the food quickly while it was still hot, otherwise they would easily get diarrhea if it got cold.
Especially now that the car is driving fast, where can I go to relieve the pain if it really hurts?
Fortunately, after more than four hours of travel, there was no sign of stomach pain, and the truck returned to the original location where it had picked them up.
The driver jumped out and placed the portal in the snow.
At this time, a voice came from the loudspeaker of the lead car urging them to get off.
No one dared to delay and jumped down one after another carrying bags. When the door was ready for use, they rushed in.
There were too many people and it was difficult to squeeze in. Anjiu and the others waited there for a while until there were fewer people. Then they carried their bags and walked in one by one.
The scene in front of my eyes suddenly changed from dazzling white to dull dark color.
They were back in the familiar Beehive building.
Home is just ahead and everyone is excited.
Anjiu carried the bag home in one go, put it down, took off his coat, and lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
Even she was so tired, let alone grandma. After changing her coat, she lay down on the bed to catch her breath.
The two of them breathed in and out, and suddenly they turned to look at each other, grinning happily.
Grandma: “I dug a lot, haha.”
Anjiu: "A lot of gains, hehe."
They both: “We’ll dig more tomorrow!”
They giggled happily for a while and were full of energy.
He got out of bed, grandma lit a fire, Anjiu brought a small stool, untied the bag, and cleaned the thick charred shell on the fruits one by one.
Later, grandma also moved a stool to help, and the two of them stayed beside the stove, working and chatting in the light of the fire, in a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
When you crack open the shell, the flesh is pink and feels a bit rough to the touch.
The juice that seeped out covered my hands, it felt like lotion and was very refreshing to the touch.
"Xiaojiu, how do you think we should eat this fruit?" asked grandma.
Anjiu was unsure, as she had never seen this kind of fruit before. Anyway, there were only a few ways to eat it, and as long as it was not poisonous, she could try more.
"Try stir-frying it with meat later, or stewing it into a soup."
After removing the shell, the edible flesh shrinks by half. It looks like there are two large bags, but after this treatment, only half a bag is left.
Grandma washed it carefully twice with warm water to remove all the dust and black ash, put it evenly into a clean bag, and placed it in the copy room.
The temperature there is low after nightfall and it can also be used as a cold storage.
Anjiu took out all the fruits in the space, and thus got another half bag.
Leave five or six for cooking, and wash the rest and put them next door.
Grandma is too tired today, so she plans to cut more meat.
Anjiu did not act like a hands-off boss. After washing and cooking the rice, he sat by the stove, picked vegetables and lit the fire.
The meal would not be ready for a while, and she felt bored, so she took out two boxes of milk with different flavors from the space. She gave the original flavor to her grandma and drank the chocolate flavor herself.
Grandma kept muttering that it was almost time to eat, so why waste a box of milk? Anjiu then tried to trick her, saying that the more tired and hungry she was, the better it would be to drink milk because she could absorb all the nutrients in it.
Grandma was skeptical, but she took the milk carton and drank it all.
Anjiu took out a lot of snacks with a smile and stuffed a piece of squid into grandma's mouth.
"What is this?" Grandma asked in surprise, "Why does it taste weird? It's a little sweet, but also fishy."
"A kind of seafood. Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the taste. Keep it for yourself and don't give it to me. I'm waiting to eat later."
Grandma gently pushed her away with her elbow and refused to eat any more, no matter what.
Anjiu sat by the stove and picked up a bag of spicy boneless chicken feet from the pile of snacks beside him. He tore open the bag and bit into the crispy bones, making a crunchy sound.
Just throw the food packaging bags into the stove and burn them, keeping your home clean and hygienic.
Then have a bag of crispy rice, and then eat sweet after the spicy taste. The main idea is to let the tip of your tongue taste two extreme flavors in a short period of time.
Then he ate some cod intestines to neutralize the taste, sucked a bag of jelly to moisten his throat, and then ate some beef tendon.
Grandma wanted to persuade her to eat less snacks, but then she thought, Xiaojiu's appetite is so big that she won't be full at all! So she should let her eat happily.
Why do you want to be an unpleasant old lady?
Since it’s just a food tasting, there’s no need to waste too much meat. Just grab two pieces and stir-fry them.
Referring to the cooking time of the past, when it was roughly cooked, grandma picked up a piece with chopsticks and brought it to her mouth.
