Chapter 6
Although the black fish was ridiculously big, the meat was delicious and not old at all. Coupled with the MSG leaves, it was even more fragrant and made people drool.
It was the first time that Shan Yu experienced the feeling of hunger, and it was also the first time that he deeply realized that cherishing food was the most noble and rare virtue in the world.
Shan Yu grabbed a piece of fish and ate it surprisingly fast, but it didn’t feel vulgar at all.
Wan Qiu felt that his husband seemed to be a little different, but he couldn’t tell what was different. He touched his belly, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the delicious fish, hoping that he could keep some for himself.
He was really hungry and really greedy.
Wan Qiu wanted to eat the delicious-smelling fish and add some nutrition to the child in his belly, but he didn’t dare to take the initiative to get it.
Shan Yu ate the fish in his hand. After noticing Wan Qiu’s gaze, he asked him, “Why don’t you eat it?”
Wan Qiu licked his lips, shook his head, and said, “Husband, please eat first.”
Shan Yu was stunned when he heard Wan Qiu’s words. He knew that the original owner was a selfish person who loved to eat alone and didn’t care about his wife and children. He sighed softly in his heart, tore half of the fragrant fish grilled on the shelf, skewered it on a branch, handed it to Wan Qiu’s hand, and said, “If there is something to eat in the future, you can take it yourself if you want to eat without asking me.”
Wan Qiu was stunned. He nodded, holding the fragrant and heavy fish in his hand, and said in disbelief: “Husband… will you give me all this fish?”
“Of course, each of us get a half. This fish is enough for the two of us.”
Wan Qiu smiled when he heard this, holding the fish in his hand and devouring it hungrily. After a long time, he suddenly whispered: “Husband…”
“Huh?”
“…It’s good for you to be like this.”
“What?” Shan Yu was puzzled. “What is good?”
Wan Qiu shook his head, lowered his head, and ate the fish in his hand, and changed the subject: “I mean this fish is so fragrant, it tastes better than adding three spices…”
“Three spices?”
Shan Yu reacted for a moment and guessed that three spices should be the condiment of this era. He took an MSG leaf and handed it to Wan Qiu and said, “This is why it’s so delicious. Let’s pick some back up later and use it as… our spices.”
Wan Qiu was stunned for a moment, wondering how his husband, who always wanted to save face and never suffer, could learn to pick leaves?
But no matter what, Shan Yu’s change made Wan Qiu very happy. He nodded and said he would remember it, thinking that his husband had lost his memory. It was really good.
.
The black fish, which was more than half a meter long, was quite substantial. Although it was only half roasted, neither of them ate finish it all. There was a large piece left, which was carefully wrapped in MSG leaves by Wan Qiu and put into the basket.
After Shan Yu filled his stomach and gained strength, he still wanted to visit the other side of the stream.
Not talking about looking for MSG trees or anything else, but the injury on the back of his head needed to be cured. He needed to find some medicine.
Since Grandpa Yaba in Wan Qiu’s mouth was able to go to the other side of the stream to collect the medicine and come back safe and sound, then Shan Yu guessed…neither the medicine could be collected easily, or Grandpa Yaba had some way to get it from the forest full of dead people.
Judging from the available information, this Grandpa Yaba’s only advantage was that he knew Chinese medicine just like himself.
He did not have the ability to fight ghosts. The only possibility was to use herbs to avoid beasts and poisonous plants and animals.
Thinking about it this way, there was nothing to be afraid of in the Deadly Forest.
Shan Yu ignored Wan Qiu’s dissuasion and asked him to wait for him. He waded across the stream alone and disappeared into the lingering mist in a short while.
