Chapter 74: Eat dry or thin?
I was used to getting up early, and Li Yu woke up before dawn the next day, and the others were still asleep.
Taking advantage of the light of the fire, he gently avoided the crowd, came to an unmanned corner of the cave to start exercising his body, and tried not to make a sound to affect others.
Half an hour later, Li Yu was already sweating profusely and stopped and rested on the stone wall.
At this time, the sky outside the cave was already bright and people woke up one after another.
A slight footsteps sounded not far away, and Li Yu turned around and looked.
More than ten meters away from him, a beautiful female leader in white appeared there, holding a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other.
The beautiful leader also saw Li Yu in the corner, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly to say hello. Then he continued to walk to the depths of the cave with a torch, and disappeared around the corner in a few strokes.
Looking at the direction of the disappearance of the leader, Li Yu scratched his head. What did she do in the depths of the cave alone in the early morning?
Although he was curious, Li Yu did not follow up to find out the truth because of his curiosity.
Someone outside was already starting to make a fire and cook. When he was free, Li Yu took a break and continued to use those superficial movements to exercise his body.
After another half an hour, Li Yu stopped moving and rested with heat. Without the support of the special animals, the exercise effect could not be felt at all.
During the break, Li Yu saw the beautiful leader walking out of the depths of the cave.
Her expression was still cold, like an iceberg, but her skin was slightly red, her breathing was a little messy, and there was a trace of sweat on her forehead. She was originally beautiful and indifferent, but the breath of being unable to enter the wild person on her body was discouraged. After a glance, Li Yu avoided her gaze.
The beautiful female leader glanced at Li Yu, nodded slightly and walked away.
After looking at the back of the beautiful female leader, Li Yu looked at the depths of the dark cave again, and was very curious. What did she do in it?
If he couldn't figure it out, Li Yu simply didn't think about it, nor did he have the intention to find out the truth, so as not to offend the leader.
Not long after, the sound of eating started in the cave, and suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire cave became enthusiastic.
Li Yu went over and found three large pots lined up in the middle of the cave. Two pots were steaming white rice porridge, and the other pot was wild vegetables. People had already consciously lined up, and those who were queuing up were holding a wooden bowl.
When they met Li Dashu and the others, they looked at each other in a different way. They had no bowls after dinner.
"A few little brothers, I'm looking for you everywhere. It turns out that you are here. You are not sure about the situation when you are just a first-timer. Come with me." At this time, Yueyang's voice sounded behind Li Yu.
Li Yu turned around, looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
It's already dinner, don't you want to give us a meal? Although we are new to us, we don't have to treat it like this, right now Li Yu thought to himself.
"Just come," Yue Yang said with a smile.
Just leave. Li Yu felt that if we didn’t give food, we might as well leave. We were not just not working, but just came.
Several people followed Yueyang and left the place where they had dinner.
In less than a minute, they entered a fork hole, turned a few turns, and suddenly they saw a big cave hall here, with torches inserted around them, illuminating the place.
In the middle of this cave hall, there are two large pots, one with white rice, the other with stir-frying dishes, and you can see meat!
There was already a long line next to the two pots, at least one hundred people were receiving the meal one by one, and the people who got the meal had enough food in the bowl.
"I'll take you to get the dishes and chopsticks, let's talk about it later." Yueyang spoke after coming here.
Li Yu and the others looked at each other, and said nothing, followed Yueyang.
They got the dishes and lined up to receive the meal. Even at the end, Li Yu and the others also got a generous meal.
Li Yu was still wondering why there were two places to eat, and it was obviously treated differently.
The people who got the food in this cave looked for a place to eat it. Yueyang took Li Yu and the others to the side and found a place to squat down to have a meal.
During the meal, Yueyang said, "Because it's your first time here, you have to give you a good meal. If you want to have a good meal in the future, it depends on how you choose."
After swallowing a bite of the food, Li Yu asked in confusion: "Can Brother Yue explain it clearly? I don't understand."
"This is the thing. There are nearly 400 people in this cave now, both men, women, young and old. There is a reason why they treat it differently. People outside eat porridge and wild vegetables because they do not participate in dangerous actions. The people here can eat white rice and even meat because we pay more than them and are in danger of life at any time."
"To be more specific, people outside usually only move around caves, picking up firewood, digging wild vegetables, cutting wood, cleaning, etc. They are doing similar jobs without danger, so they can only eat porridge and wild vegetables. The people here need to risk hunting, search for food in the town, and tie their heads to the belt, so they can eat white rice and meat. Do you understand?" Yue Yang explained patiently.
"I understand. If you want to get good treatment, you have to pay more than others," Li Yu said suddenly.
Yue Yang nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, since you understand, then I'll ask you now, do you want to eat white rice and meat or porridge and wild vegetables? I'm just asking routinely, I will never force you, how to choose between you."
Li Yu digs a bite of the food, chews it and looks up at Yueyang and says, "I want to eat rice and meat."
"Have you thought about it? Once you decide, you can't regret it." Yue Yang asked with a smile.
"Think about it!"
Yue Yang nodded and looked at Li Dashu who was eating voraciously beside him and asked, "Where are you?"
"I am with Li Yu, and I want to eat rice and meat," Li Dashutou said without raising his head.
Although Li Yu and Li Dashu are not adults, they are in their physique. Yue Yang is obviously very happy about their choice. Instead, he looks at the Wang Xiaoshan brothers and said, "You..."
"We also want to eat rice and meat," Wang Xiaoshan answered quickly.
Yue Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "That's not possible. You are too small, your small arms and legs are not suitable for dangerous actions. Otherwise, we are just taking human life, so you can only do something within your ability."
Yue Yang said it relatively tactfully, and the meaning was very obvious. The Wang Xiaoshan brothers could only eat wild vegetables, after all, their physique and age were there.
The Wang Xiaoshan brothers understood Yue Yang's implicit sound and were stunned.
"We are not inferior to ordinary people. Why can't we eat rice and meat?" Wang Xiaoshan said anxiously for a moment without consenting.
Yue Yang shook his head and said, "As you are still young, this is good to you."
"No, we want to eat rice and meat, we are with Brother Li and the others," Wang Xiaoshi said stubbornly.
Yue Yang had no choice but to look at Li Yu and said, "They are really not suitable, please advise them."
Li Yu lowered his head, thought for a while and looked at Yueyang and said, "Brother Yue, they want to eat white rice and meat, why not give them a chance?"
"But they are still young, they are really not suitable," Yue Yang said helplessly.
After eating a bite of the meal, Li Yu continued: "Don't look at them as young, they don't have to be poor in their physical condition. Give them a chance."
"Yeah, we have the strength." The Wang Xiaoshan brothers nodded immediately.
After pondering for a while, Yueyang looked at the two brothers and said, "Let's do this, I won't give you a chance. I'll give you a small test. If I pass, how about eating white rice and meat together in the future?"
"What test?" Wang Xiaoshan asked, with a hint of worry.
Yueyang pointed to a person next to him and said, "It's very simple. You fight with him. If you win, you are qualified to eat white rice and meat. If you lose, be obedient. Don't worry, don't make things difficult for you on purpose. His strength is just among us."
Hearing this sentence, the Wang Xiaoshan and his brothers subconsciously looked at Li Yu.
The person who was concentrating on eating next to him also heard the conversation here, and then looked up and grinned at Li Yu and the others.
This is a young man in his twenties, already an adult, with an average physique.
"Let them try it," Li Yu thought about it and said.
Yue Yang nodded and said to the young man: "Did you hear it? Why don't you hurry up?"
"Okay, okay, the kids are so stubborn nowadays. They are just for your own sake," the other party muttered and stood up and walked over.
Everyone around them looked at the situation here, and they all looked at it curiously while eating.
Just a wrestling hand, not complicated.
In full view of everyone, the young man lost, and both Wang Xiaoshan and his brothers defeated him!
"Is this impossible?" the young man looked haunted.
Not to mention him, everyone around him looked surprised.
"How?" Li Yu looked at Yueyang and asked.
Yue Yang looked at the two brothers Wang Xiaoshan and said speechlessly: "What else can you do? They will eat white rice and meat in the future. These two little guys can't tell, they have some strength."
Speaking of this, Yueyang said to the surroundings: "Everyone has seen it. They are still young, so take care of them in the future."
