Chapter 92 Eating Insects

ses.This place was poorer than she had expected.In such a poor place, I wonder if the apothecary's herbs and medicines are complete.Zong Yu led her through two streets, stopping in front of a food sta...The young man who was pulling at Zezong Hu's clothes said, "I think Tie Zhu is right. Since he knows the mountains so well, he must know where to find food."

"We all got so thin living in the village, like skin and bones, but he was still strong like a bull."

"He obviously hasn't gone hungry for a few meals."

When people face adversity and desperation, they are not so rational. Whoever can keep them alive, their words hold the most reason.

The youth's words apparently gained the agreement of most people. Just now, no one spoke up, but now everyone is chiming in to agree with the youth.

When Zong Hu saw this, he was furious.

“Such nonsense! You actually have the audacity to say such things.”

"He survived and made a living in the mountains by his own abilities. If you have the skills, come hunt too."

"Nobody stopped you again."

"Why should he find you food."

The young man looked at Zong Hu with disdain, “It sounds like your Zong family hasn’t asked Zong Yu for food and drink. Not only did you ask him for grain and meat, but you even wanted money from him.”

"Zong Hu, you haven't taken advantage of Zong Yu's reputation less than anyone else. Now, what kind of good big brother are you pretending to be"

"You!" Zong Hu's face flushed with anger, he was indeed guilty about what happened before.

But the family head wasn't him making the decisions.

Seeing this, Zongyu immediately grabbed Zonghu and shook his head at him, "Come on, Big Brother, don't hold a grudge against him."

The young man rolled his eyes at Zong Hu.

Tie Zhu was glared at harshly by his father, "I told you not to cause trouble and talk nonsense!"

He rushed out to calm the situation, "Everyone, please quiet down and stay calm!"

"What's all the fuss about Aren't you too hungry and tired to even walk You have enough energy to argue"

"Whoever keeps making noise, I won't take them down the mountain. In the future, when the irrigation canal is dug, their house won't be allowed to use water!"

Wang, the village head, still held great authority in the hearts of the villagers. He said he wouldn't take anyone down the mountain, and it was likely that he wouldn't. For their own safety, everyone had no choice but to keep quiet out of resentment.

He then turned to Zongyu and apologized.

"Ayu, don't take it to heart."

But the next sentence still exposed Wang Village Chief's thoughts, "Only, you really have no way at all, do you"

Zongyu thought for a moment, actually there was a way to temporarily fill their stomachs.

The food's a little bit unappetizing, let's see if they dare to eat it.

"Yes." He uttered a single word firmly, and everyone's eyes lit up, looking at him with hope.

"What's the solution, tell me quickly!" The village head was also impatient.

"When I was trapped in the mountains while hunting, once I ran out of dry food, I would dig for worms in the soil to eat."

"You can survive ten or half a month with whatever you eat."

"Eat, eat bugs Everyone's expression instantly turned to shock and disgust."

Only Village Head Wang continued to ask, "What kind of bug is it"

Since Zongyu didn't eat to death, it means this is a way out.

Before, everyone just knew how to stare at the vegetables and dig them up for food. They never thought about eating insects as another option.

Zongyu searched around for a while, they were in a mountainous area where the vegetation was relatively dense. Even though they had killed quite a few plants, it wasn't completely bare.

He rummaged through the soil and found a worm that was still wriggling.

"That's it."

When everyone saw it, some young children had a hard time accepting it. As soon as they thought about eating earthworms, they immediately felt nauseous and threw up.

Even the elderly had expressions of disbelief.

Zongyu saw a grasshopper flying past and caught it.

"How about this one instead"

After finishing his sentence, he swiftly snapped the grasshoppers' heads and tails off before tossing them into his mouth. He chewed them nonchalantly, swallowing them down with a calm expression.

"Actually, it tastes pretty good."

"Ugh!" A child suddenly vomited even worse.

Tie Zhu's face turned ashen as he rushed out, "It would be better for us to die than to eat these disgusting bugs!"

"Brother Zong, if you really can't do it, just say so, there's no need to be so disgusting." she said just now was nothing compared to their usual arguments. He didn't understand why she was reacting this way."Big brother, I'm going to bring Yu Lian back."Zong Yu said coldly, "No need.""If s...
