Chapter 125 A Dispute Caused by a Small Snake
chapter 125
Upon arriving in area A2, everyone's eyes lit up.
Walking from the outskirts to area A1, you'll find mountains everywhere, lush and vibrant with spring vegetation. But this place is completely different; there are no mountains, not even a speck of green.
The desert stretched as far as the eye could see, with rolling yellow sand and a strong wind blowing so hard that you could not even see the road ahead.
Fu Lian swallowed hard, and said somewhat nervously, "We...we're not going to walk from here to there, are we?"
Looking at the lifeless desert, Meng Youcheng felt terrible. "There's nothing I can do, I'll just have to bear it..."
Xu Guo was stunned. "But...we didn't seem to have taken any of those rations? They said they would bring us food, but we didn't seem to have taken any. Can we really make it through?"
Meng Youcheng then realized...
The civilians in region A1 prepared a lot of food for them, saying they would definitely need it on the road. However, they thought that the road to region A2 must be the same as here, with everything available in the mountains, so they would never go hungry.
but……
At that moment, he felt a pang of regret.
In this boundless desert, it seems impossible to find even water, let alone food.
But by this point, they had already traveled quite a distance and certainly couldn't turn back. Besides, it was getting late and dark, so they needed to find a place to spend the night...
The desert at night is sure to be fraught with danger.
Fu Lian suddenly clutched his head and screamed, "Ah—I don't want to! I'm going to starve to death! I'm not like you people! I'm really going to starve to death!"
Meng Youcheng initially didn't want to bother with him, but after thinking for a while, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You won't starve, don't worry...?"
A glimmer of hope ignited in the boy's eyes. "What do you mean? Could it be that, Major General... you secretly brought some food?"
"No……"
Meng Youcheng waved his hand, "You can eat sand."
Fu Lian's hope vanished instantly. He gave an incredulous, bitter smile, followed by an angry outburst, "What the hell are you talking about? Do you think I'm stupid? Why the hell would I eat sand?"
Meng Youcheng completely ignored him and looked around...
Xu Guo noticed, "Major General, what are you looking for?"
Meng Youcheng gathered some dry wood from around the area. "Let's build a fire; it's quite cold in the desert at night..."
Fu Lian shouted again, "Ah—"
"I fucking don't want to starve to death!"
Meng Youcheng was somewhat helpless, so he could only say to him, "Many animals that live in the desert only come out at night. Now, sir, build a fire, and you can catch them at night and roast them. You don't want to eat them raw, do you?"
A glimmer of hope immediately rekindled in Fu Lian's eyes. "Really?"
Meng Youcheng threw the withered wood on the ground. "Why would I lie to you for no reason?"
"But then again, there's so little wood here. If we don't find more, we won't be able to start a fire. Even if we catch those small animals, it won't be of much use..."
The boy immediately jumped up, "It's okay, I can help you find it!!!"
……
As night fell, the temperature plummeted, becoming quite cold. A cold wind blew, stirring up dust and sand. Fortunately, they had managed to build a fire before dark.
Fu Lian excitedly nudged Meng Youcheng, "Major General, what kind of animals do you think might be in the desert?"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "Scorpion, centipede, perhaps?"
The boy's face immediately darkened. "What the hell did you say? Scorpions, centipedes, are those things edible? Are you fucking messing with me again? You just want me to start a fire for you, right?"
The man's lips curled into a slight smile. "Sigh...you guessed right, but it's a pity there's no reward..."
"You fucking bastard! I'll fuck your mother!"
The boy cursed angrily and raised his hand to hit him...
Meng Youcheng reacted quickly, grabbing him. "What are you doing? No respect for elders, can't you tell the difference between kings and princes?"
Just then, Xu Guo walked over carrying a pile of dry wood, tossed the wood aside, and sat down next to Meng Youcheng. "Major General... are you hungry?"
Meng Youcheng turned his head and saw that his deputy was holding a spicy snack in his other hand...
Xu Guo continued, "I just saw this snake when I was collecting wood. It should be edible, right?"
Meng Youcheng leaned forward and took a look...
This little carambola is quite big, and it's flicking its tongue, so it should be edible.
Just as the man was about to speak, Fu Lian suddenly jumped up in surprise, "I want to eat...!"
Xu Guo glanced at him reluctantly. "This is for the Major General; there's none for you!"
Fu Lian immediately sat down, grabbed Meng Youcheng's arm, and said in a strained voice, "Baby~~ I want to eat snake meat~~ I want to eat it~~ Can you give me some? You never get hungry anyway... I'm hungry right now!"
Meng Youcheng's expression changed instantly, turning disgusted. "Could you make it any more disgusting?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Lian immediately tightened her throat and shouted loudly, "Baby~~"
Upon seeing this, Xu Guo immediately stood up, snake in one hand, and shouted, "You fucking stay away from the Major General!"
Upon hearing this, the boy immediately became interested and leaned his whole body towards Meng Youcheng. "Oh dear~~ I'm starving... If I don't eat something soon, I'm afraid I'll die here. But so be it, dying in the arms of the Major General wouldn't be such a bad thing, would it?"
Meng Youcheng shoved him forcefully, "Get away from me, don't disgust me!"
Fu Lian gripped his hand tightly, "General, please don't dislike me. I love you very much..."
I can't push it, and I'm too lazy to push it.
Xu Guo became somewhat excited, "The Major General, he..."
Meng Youcheng said helplessly, "Please sit down first..."
The lieutenant general reluctantly sat down...
Seeing this, Fu Lian held Meng Youcheng's hand and hummed a little tune, "Why should the latecomer surpass the former? Because..."
Hearing that unpleasant voice, Xu Guo's forehead veins bulged, but he still held back and handed the spicy strip to Meng Youcheng, "Major General, are you hungry now?"
The man shook his head. "I'm not hungry, and I'm not very good at cooking this. You can make it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Fu Lian immediately stopped singing and excitedly said, "I'm hungry... Major General, I want to eat..."
Xu Guo looked at Meng Youcheng with a face full of resentment...
The man looked at the fire in front of him, then turned to glance at Fu Lian. "You want to eat it? If you want to eat it, just tell him... I didn't catch this snake, what's the use of telling me? If you want to eat it, just tell him yourself and see if he'll give it to you or not."
The boy immediately interrupted him, "He's your deputy, he'll definitely listen to you, you and him..."
"No no no..."
Meng Youcheng waved his finger at him, "I don't like to force people. If you want to eat, either go get it yourself, or tell him. If he's willing to give you some, then you can eat it. If he's not willing to give you some, then there's nothing I can do."
"you……!"
Fu Lian was instantly enraged and shoved him hard, yelling, "Damn it! Useless old man!"
Meng Youcheng's smile vanished instantly. "What did you say?"
Fu Lian pointed at him and cursed, "You're a useless old man! You think you can get food by acting cute with me? You're a useless old man, no wonder you can't even get a wife!"
Meng Youcheng laughed in exasperation, turning to Xu Guo, "Deputy General Xu, hurry up and eat! Quickly roast this little snake until it's fragrant and delicious, then eat it bite by bite in front of someone, leaving him not even a crumb!"
Xu Guo: "Oh..."
……
Xu Guo killed the small snake in front of the two men, skinned it, and roasted it over a fire. The aroma immediately spread in all directions...
Fu Lian stared, his mouth watering. "I..."
After it was cooked, the lieutenant began to eat it in large mouthfuls...
Fu Lian was drooling, his mouth practically watering the ground. "Lieutenant General, I haven't eaten in ages. I feel like I'm starving, dizzy, and lightheaded. Please have pity on me and give me a piece of meat!"
Xu Guo glanced at him and continued eating...
Looking at the idiot's expression, Meng Youcheng felt quite satisfied. "Ah...it smells so good..."
Fu Lian could only swallow hard. Suddenly, he ran over and gently nudged Xu Guo, "Vice General, please let me have a bite, please?"
Xu Guo felt a pang of guilt and glanced at Meng Youcheng. "Major General, I..."
The man sighed. "Whatever. You caught the snake, so you can give it to whomever you want."
Xu Guo hesitated before extending the spicy strip in her hand, but Fu Lian seized the opportunity, snatched it away, and immediately swallowed it...
Xu Guo's eyes were filled with shock. "Hey! I didn't fucking say I'd give it all to you!"
"Feel sorry……"
Fu Lian patted his stomach. "I swallowed it."
"you……"
Xu Guo pointed angrily at him with one finger, "You really are...!"
Fu Lian stared at his fingers, which were constantly dripping with oil. "Um, Vice General, may I lick your fingers?"
Xu Guo was so startled that he quickly withdrew his hand. "What the hell are you talking about?!"
"I feel your fingers... they seem really nice to suck on..."
Fu Lian rushed forward and desperately grabbed his hand, "Vice General... let me lick it... just one lick... I've never had any before, please let me lick it, please..."
Xu Guo struggled desperately, looking fearfully at Meng Youcheng in the distance, "Major General, save me...!"
