"Nope!" Li Xiu replied with great certainty, if it weren't for Sun Simiao's reminder, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Did Master Xuanzang leave a letter or something else for you to forward?" Fuqin heard Li Xiu's answer but showed an unwilling expression, and asked Li Xiu again at the moment.

"No, Xuanzang left very suddenly, and he only told me the day before he left!" Li Xiu patiently replied again, but after Fuqin heard his answer, there was an obvious expression of loss on his face.

Fuqin came to see Li Xiu today, in fact, she just wanted to inquire about Xuanzang's news, now that her goal has been achieved, so there is no need to stay anymore, and she said goodbye to Li Xiu at the moment, and Li Xiu was also put on the high hat of "gentleman" by the other party, and she didn't want to ask about the origin of her and the little lady behind her, so she didn't keep it, and asked Yuechan to send her out of the mansion at the moment.

Originally, this was just an insignificant trifle, and Li Xiu didn't take it to heart, he should eat and play in the next few days, but what he didn't expect was that the little girl Fuqin would come every once in a while, and every time she just asked about Xuanzang's news, but Li Xiu didn't often receive news from Xuanzang, after all, the other party had gone too far, and many times Fuqin could only return disappointed.

Seeing that it was about to be the harvest season again, Li Xiu took a few children out to tell them some food-related knowledge while playing, such as reciting poems like "Compassion for Nong", so that the children knew that food was not easy to come by, so as not to waste food when they usually eat.

However, although Li Xiu's idea was good, several children were too naughty, especially Jin'er and Pingyanglang were too young to understand what Li Xiu was talking about, but they were more interested in grasshoppers flying through the grass, and after a while, several children all ran to catch grasshoppers, and finally even Li Xiu, an unreliable teacher, joined in.

Autumn is the fattest season for grasshoppers, and they can't fly far with a long belly, and this thing is a pest, catching some can also make them scourge the grain, so after a while, Li Xiu caught more than a dozen big grasshoppers. Jin'er and Mingkong also caught a lot of children, but they couldn't tell the difference between grasshoppers and locusts, so they even caught locusts together, and even a few crickets were mixed in them, which caused Li Xiu to laugh too.

Looking at these fat grasshoppers, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of the interesting story of roasting grasshoppers when he was a child, speaking of which he also spent in the countryside when he was a child, and his family was relatively poor, and it was rare to eat meat several times a year, so he was very greedy for all the meat that could be eaten, such as grasshoppers in the grass, frogs on the bank of the river, loaches and crayfish in the mud, etc., all of which were the delicacies he had eaten when he was a child.

Do what you want, at that moment Li Xiu commanded a few little guys to pick up some firewood and weeds, and then a small fire rose in an open space, and found a thin wooden stick to skewer the grasshoppers on it, put it on the fire and roasted it, and several little guys stared at Li Xiu with wide eyes, with a curious look on their faces.

"Sir, do you roast grasshoppers for food?" At this time, I saw that Wu Mingkong was the first to ask, among the children, Li Lizhi was the oldest, but she was not in good health, she was relatively small, and her temperament was more gentle and demure, but Wu Mingkong, who was a little younger than her, was more lively, and even Jin'er and Ping'anlang had to listen to her.

"Yes, grasshoppers are a delicacy, the taste is similar to shrimp meat, you will know when you taste it!" Li Xiu said with a smile. Hearing that Li Xiu's roasted grasshoppers were really used to eat, Wu Mingkong, Jin'er, and Ping'an Lang all showed interested expressions, but Lizhi and Mian Niang were a little scared, after all, it was okay to catch grasshoppers, and they were still a little afraid to let them eat these insects.

There is no need for any seasoning to roast grasshoppers, just scorch the head and claws on the fire, and the long belly is also roasted, and then Li Xiu takes off a grasshopper, removes the head, and then tears open the stomach, and removes the black line in the grasshopper's stomach, and then puts it in his mouth and chews it, and a familiar fragrance also blooms on the tip of his tongue, and at this moment he seems to have returned to the carefree childhood time in his previous life.

Seeing that Li Xiu ate so fragrantly, Wu Mingkong, who had the greatest courage, was not willing to live behind others, and also took a roasted grasshopper at the moment, and cleaned it up like Li Xiu, and then put it in his small mouth and tasted it, and found that it was not unpalatable, and it was a bit like shrimp meat as Mr. said, which also made her completely relieved, and she stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it all at once.

Jin Er and Ping An Lang saw Wu Mingkong eat, they also grabbed the grasshoppers and ate them, they were too young to know what it meant to be afraid, of course, it was impossible to remove the head claws and intestines like Li Xiu, they were all stuffed into their mouths and eaten, in fact, it didn't matter, grasshoppers mainly eat grass, and there was nothing dirty in their stomachs, but Li Xiu was still worried that if they ate bad stomachs, they still helped them peel off the grasshoppers for them to eat, but Mian Niang and Lizhi refused to eat them anyway.

An adult and three children, the grasshoppers they caught were not enough to eat, and in the end, Li Xiu even roasted the locusts together, in fact, although the locusts and grasshoppers looked different in his opinion, they were similar, and he often ate them when he was a child, but the locusts could fly, and they were generally not easy to catch.

The three children finished eating the grasshoppers and locusts, and in the end they were still a little unsatisfied, but under the leadership of Wu Mingkong, several children killed into the grass again, and it seemed that the grasshoppers and locusts in the grass were unlucky today.

Seeing a few children running around in the grass, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little happily, but at this moment, suddenly an insect flew in front of him, which made him instinctively reach out to catch it, but he was caught, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a locust, which also made him smile, it was really "there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and hell has no door for you to break in", and he will send this locust to his stomach after a while.

"Huh?" But at this moment, Li Xiu's mind suddenly flashed, because he found that there seemed to be too many locusts in the grass, and even a few children could catch them casually, which is not a good sign, because in ancient times, in addition to floods and droughts, there was also a kind of disaster that made people talk about it, that is, locust plague!

Thinking of the locust plague, Li Xiu suddenly thought of a historical legend in later generations, although he couldn't be sure if this legend had happened in real history, but if it was true, it would be terrible!
