Chapter 285 There Must Be a Plan
Thinking of what had just happened to Miao Duo, she didn't say anything more. She took out a dagger from her waist and cut open her palm.
Amazingly, no blood flowed out after the palm was cut open, and Miao Duo muttered some unintelligible words.
As she chanted, a bulge appeared on her arm where she had just cut herself, as if insects were sliding under her skin, jumping up and down, crawling toward her palm.
Until they reached the spot where she had cut open her palm, a few drops of golden liquid flowed out and fell into Uncle Abba's mouth.
The person, who had been rapidly shriveling, slowly returned to normal as the golden liquid was absorbed.
Even her skin color returned to normal after changing from black.
Uncle Aba returned to normal in no time.
"Uncle Aba, are you alright?"
"It's alright. Miao Duo, your Gu worms are really powerful. The Gu worms in my body have calmed down."
"I also felt a surge of agitation just now, and the Gu worms in my body have been restless for a long time."
What on earth is going on? I've never encountered anything like this before.
Miao Duo was somewhat puzzled by the restlessness of the Gu worms.
"It's probably because the sacrificial day is approaching, and the creatures in the mountains are starting to become restless," Uncle Aba offered his analysis.
Thinking about what was inside the Miaoling Mountains, Miao Duo didn't ask any further questions.
"Is the food for the guests prepared?"
"It's almost done. They'll get more nutrition after eating the food we specially prepared for them."
Xiao Mei is very skillful, and Tian Zhenzhen, having nothing else to do, also started learning from her.
However, she was clumsy and couldn't even stab a straight line, so she gave up.
It was now completely dark, and the lights inside the house were on.
There were constant noises coming from the courtyard outside; people were gradually coming out to eat.
There were many lanterns hanging in the courtyard, making the view quite bright.
A long table was placed in the middle, and some people were already sitting down.
Qi Ge and the others also came out. As soon as they sat down, Linlin was almost startled when she saw the food that was served.
"Hey Qi, there are bugs here too! They look disgusting. Tell them to take them away."
There was a dish made with insects on the table. Actually, after the insects were cooked, the texture was quite similar to chicken.
However, people who haven't tried it before might find it a bit unusual.
As Linlin spoke, she buried her entire body in Qi Ge's arms.
"This is a local specialty dish that you can't find anywhere else."
Don't worry, these insects are very clean, and eating them is good for your health.
"Sister Linlin, you're such a scaredy-cat! I've seen these bugs online all the time. I'm really curious about what they taste like." Baiqiu, the short-haired girl, didn't show any fear at all; in fact, she seemed eager to try it out.
"Bai Qiu, you're quite bold. Linlin, this worm is indeed very nutritious. I've eaten it before, but this is the first time I've seen a worm with this shape. It must be a specialty of Miaoling Mountain."
As Qi Ge spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took one out. The insect made a crisp sound when it entered his mouth.
"Hmm, this tastes pretty good, the meat is very tender and delicious, you should try it too."
With Qi Ge taking the lead, the rest of the group also started to try the food.
Even Bai Qiu, filled with curiosity, picked one up, took a bite, and exclaimed dramatically:
"Brother Qi is right, these insects do taste delicious."
"Sister Linlin, you probably won't dislike what Brother Qi likes, right? Have one too."
As Bai Qiu spoke, she placed a piece of food into the bowl and chopsticks in front of Linlin.
Linlin wanted nothing more than to bite this vixen to death.
She had long suspected that Bai Qiu was a bad person, always eyeing what was in the pot while eating what was in the bowl.
Now they're even forcing her to eat insects.
If she doesn't eat now, Bai Qiu will probably have something to say to her.
"Linlin, you should try it too, it tastes really good." Qi Ge's love of adventure means that he is destined to be a person who dares to try new things.
Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Linlin had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the insect in front of her.
After mentally preparing myself for a long time, I closed my eyes and swallowed it whole.
She then felt extremely nauseous and vomited.
Some things are not something everyone can bear.
"Oh dear, Sister Linlin, why did you throw up? I thought you would like the same things as Brother Qi."
I didn't expect you to be so averse to it. It seems you and Qi-ge will have a hard time eating together from now on.
Linlin already felt disgusted, and when she heard Bai Qiu's provocative words, she slammed her hand on the table.
"Shut up! It's none of your business what we do."
Upon hearing Linlin's reprimand, Bai Qiu's eyes immediately reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Alright, Linlin, how can you be so harsh with Bai Qiu? She didn't say anything wrong. Since you're my girlfriend, you'd better keep in touch with me when it comes to food."
Qi Ge is a very self-centered person and doesn't think there's anything wrong with what Bai Qiu said.
"Hmph, I'm not eating."
Although Linlin usually fawned over Qi Ge, she never expected that Qi Ge would protect this bitch at this moment.
She stood up abruptly and went back to her room without eating anything.
Back in her room, she found her toothbrush and washed her face several times before she felt less nauseous.
Tian Zhenzhen and the others' food was ready, and she also had some insects on the table.
She had it taken away immediately; she simply couldn't bring herself to like it.
The other dishes were perfectly normal; according to Daqiang's scan, nothing extra had been added to them.
Finally, a chicken soup was served.
"This chicken soup is very nourishing. The cordyceps in it are hard to find outside. You must try it."
"Cordyceps, isn't that very expensive? How can you afford to give it to us?" a guest asked, since their meals didn't require any extra payment.
“In our Miaoling Mountains, cordyceps is not a rare commodity. If you like it, you can buy some before you leave. It will definitely be cheaper than outside.”
Hearing the shopkeeper say that, everyone thought he was there to promote and sell cordyceps.
They didn't say anything more, and whether they would buy or not, they would decide when they left.
However, after taking a sip of the chicken soup, everyone found it to be very delicious and tasty.
Several large bowls of chicken soup were eventually all drunk up.
Even Tian Zhenzhen drank quite a bit.
She could feel the effects of the chicken soup, which were similar to the medicinal food Xiaomei had prepared for her.
She looked at the cordyceps inside and quickly recognized it.
This cordyceps is described in the Great Compendium of Elixirs.
This is no ordinary cordyceps; it's a true rare treasure, so rare that it would be hard to find even at auction.
I really don't understand why this place would be used to entertain guests.
There must be a ulterior motive behind spending such a large sum of money.
Before I start writing a novel, I always think about asking for five-star reviews and urging me to update more at the end, but I always forget. So today, I'm asking for them!
