Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the big pot with dull eyes.
The pot was surrounded by some rags to prevent the heat from escaping, so Li Xiao couldn't smell it.
But if you think about it, you know it won't taste good, but now that it's a foregone conclusion, it's useless even if you know it won't taste good.
So in Li Xiao's very uneasy mood, the pot came to a boil.
Xiaomu didn't notice Li Xiao's mood at all. He opened the pot excitedly and took out a large bowl of meat, which included chicken and rabbit meat.
While they were waiting for the meat, Xiao Mumu had already taken the rice from Li Xiao's hand and put it in a small pot next to it to cook.
Li Xiao and Chen Xu brought rice and meat to the table, and Xiaomu each filled a large bowl of rice.
Li Xiao took a bite and found that the rice was okay, a little hard, but it was not a big problem. On the contrary, what made him most happy was that the rice made in this kind of pot still had a layer of rice crust on the bottom of the pot.
Then there is the bowl of meat on the table.
Li Xiao really didn’t have the courage to take off his chopsticks.
Chen Xu didn't think too much. Seeing that Xiaomu was eating happily, he took a bite and put it into his mouth without any worries.
As soon as a mouthful of rabbit meat entered his mouth, Chen Xu's expression changed. Then his Adam's apple slid up and down, and then he quickly regained his expression and looked at Li Xiao.
"Xiao Xiaozi, take a bite, it tastes... great." After saying that, Chen Xu raised a thumbs up to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao sneered, he believed that there was a ghost, and the five features on his face were squeezed together.
So Li Xiao smiled and quickly picked up several pieces of meat for Chen Xu.
"You like it? Eat more if you like it!"
Chen Xu looked at the several pieces of meat in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Xiaomu on the side was very confused, "What's wrong? Brother Xiao, Brother Chen? Aren't you hungry?"
Chen Xu twitched the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, saying that he was lying when he said he wasn't hungry, but it was true that he didn't want to eat.
At this time, Xiaomu also came to his senses, "Isn't it that I shouldn't do this?"
Xiaomu looked at the meat on the table and slowly lowered his head, "This is the first time I have caught so many things. I don't know what to do with them, so I can only put them all together."
Li Xiao sighed, if he was asked to eat it, he would definitely not be able to eat it, so he asked: "Is that rabbit stewed?"
Xiaomu shook his head and said, "I kept half of it. I plan to eat it at night. It will go bad if I keep it for too long."
Li Xiao nodded, then looked at Xiaomu, "Is it okay if you give this meat to the children in the village?"
Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
In fact, if he caught these things by himself, he would definitely give some to the aunts around him who were kind to him, but because Li Xiao and Chen Xu were both here this time, and they were catching prey together, he didn't.
After all, these things are not his own.
Li Xiao looked at Xiaomu's well-behaved and sensible look, touched his head with some distress, and then picked out some chicken from the pot.
The reason why this pot of meat is not delicious is because the mutton smell in the rabbit is too strong, causing the whole pot to smell like this. Although the chicken is also contaminated to some extent, it is somewhat better.
So Li Xiao kept some chicken and planned to see if he could save it later. He was afraid that half a rabbit would not be enough for them to eat.
Xiaomu used a small basin to carry a small basin and sent it to the next door. Then after a while, he came back with the empty basin, filled it again and took it out, and sent it out one by one.
Li Xiao took advantage of this time to stir-fry rabbit meat. It was impossible to make soup with the chicken, so he also stir-fried it into spicy chicken.
This spicy stuff will mask the smell of rabbits.
So when Xiaomu came back from delivering the last meal, there were already two more red dishes on the table.
Li Xiao quickly invited him to come over and eat.
I saw Xiaomu picking up a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks, seemingly cautiously, and then took a tentative bite. Then his eyes lit up and he took another bite.
Seeing that he liked it, Li Xiao smiled and was about to ask Chen Xu how it tasted when he saw that Chen Xu had already eaten and his mouth was full of oil.
So Li Xiao quickly joined the meat snatching team.
Xiaomu had never eaten spicy food before. At this time, he was sweating all over and his mouth was red, but he still kept eating one bite after another without stopping.
On the other hand, Chen Xu was a person who didn't like spicy food. He ate very enthusiastically and even gave Li Xiao a thumbs up.
"You can do this rabbit, it tastes pretty good."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Eat yours!"
After a while, everyone's stomachs were full. Xiao Mumu took the bowls and washed them in a very sensible way. Li Xiao and Chen Xu were bored, so they planned to take a walk around.
As a result, when I opened the door, I saw a lot of things piled at the door, including eggs, brown sugar, and some clothes. I guess they were given by people who had collected the meat.
Although the pot of meat didn't taste good, it was still meat. If they wanted to eat meat, other than going to the forest, they had no choice but to go out and buy it.
Chen Xu shouted into the house and asked Xiaomu to collect the things, and then took Li Xiao to the only barefoot doctor in the village. Xiaomu had also sent meat to his house just now.
So when Li Xiao and Chen Xu passed by, the old man who looked like he was struggling with a piece of chicken. The piece of chicken had too many bones and was not easy to chew.
When the old doctor saw someone coming in, he quickly put down the meat in his hand and pretended to clear his throat.
"Ah, who are you?"
Chen Xu took the lead and walked forward and held the old doctor's hand. "Uncle, do you still remember me? I am Xiaoxu."
"Xiao Xu?" The old doctor took Chen Xu's hand and looked up and down. Then he suddenly realized, "It's you, the one who fell from above."
Chen Xu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's me!"
The old man patted the back of Chen Xu's hand and said, "Ah, it's good, it's good. You can't drink so much in the future. If you drink too much, don't run around. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall somewhere, it will be too dangerous."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Did you drink too much? Li Xiao looked at Chen Xu with suspicious eyes.
That's not what he said before.
Chen Xu felt Li Xiao's gaze and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly took his hand out of the old doctor's hand.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention this. This...this meat tastes good."
When the old doctor heard what Chen Xu said, he immediately frowned and began to check Chen Xu's pulse.
Chen Xu was stunned and couldn't help but feel very nervous, "Uncle, what's wrong? I am...am I suffering from some incurable disease?"
The old doctor didn't say anything and just felt his pulse quietly. Chen Xu didn't dare to speak anymore because of this situation.
After a while, the old doctor took back his hand. Chen Xu quickly asked: "Uncle, what's wrong with me? What do you see?"
He felt a little uneasy.
You are not afraid that the old Chinese medicine doctor will talk to you in a pornographic manner, but you are most worried about the old Chinese medicine doctor frowning and not speaking.
The old doctor frowned and shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it...could it be...could it be a disease that even I can't detect?!"
Chen Xu was shocked when he heard what the old doctor said, "Uncle, please don't scare me!"
He was so thrown that he had internal bleeding before, but this old doctor saved him. I heard that he had saved many difficult and complicated diseases before, and even cured a patient with pre-cancer.
It's terrible for such an old Chinese doctor to say that he can't figure out what's wrong with him.
Thinking of this, Chen Xu's back felt cold. Could it be that...he had some terminal disease?
Li Xiao listened in confusion. He didn't know the glorious deeds of this old doctor, so he asked directly: "Uncle, did you see anything wrong with him?"
The old doctor nodded, "Yes, there is nothing wrong."
When Chen Xu heard this, he was very anxious, "Uncle, what's wrong with me!"
The old doctor shook his head, "You can tell that this meat tastes good. I'm afraid there's something wrong with your body that makes you unable to taste it."
When he heard what was going on, Li Xiao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Pfft! Hahahahaha!"
Chen Xu also helplessly held his forehead.
"Uncle! Stop joking, I'm almost scared to death by you!"
The old doctor also laughed "haha" and said, "Hey, I'm just kidding you, how could there be a disease that I can't see!"
Li Xiao looked at the old doctor and felt that this man was unusual, so he asked: "Uncle, I think all the people in this village are Han people. They don't seem to be Tibetan people."
Chen Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Li Xiao ask this. Didn't he explain it before? Why...
Li Xiao didn't have time to explain to him, so he gave him a look to indicate that he should stop talking, and Chen Xu honestly shut his mouth.
The old doctor touched his beard and said, "Forget it, we were just in a small county before, but then there was a big earthquake, so we ran here."
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, "When there was an earthquake, why didn't you just wait for rescue where you were and why did you run this way?"
The old doctor touched his beard with his hand, and then sighed quietly.
"Since you want to know, just think of it as hearing a story. Anyway, it happened many years ago."
The old doctor sighed and looked into the distance without focus.
"Actually, our group of people all ran away from the stockade before."
Hearing the old doctor say it was a village, Li Xiao had an answer in his mind. There was no doubt that it was probably a village owned by those bandits.
The old doctor stroked his beard again, "Logically speaking, several generations have passed, and things have been peaceful for a long time. We can move out, but the bad thing is that we have to find a way to register these children.
"
"And there are many people who can't stop eating shit! Some went out into the society and finally found a job, but ended up stealing from others and were sent to the police."
Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat, "You mean?"
The old doctor nodded, "Yes, I'm talking about the child Xiaomu. That child was poor. When his parents went out, we were very happy. They were the first people to go out, and they were beaten by everyone.
It looked like this, but I didn’t expect that they went directly to rob someone’s bank.”
Li Xiao and Chen Xu both stared wide-eyed. Who dares to rob a bank these days? Or two people?!
The old doctor seemed to realize their incredulity and couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which, it's also the fault of us old people. We are always afraid of what if someone outside keeps looking for us. We don't dare to go out, and we don't dare to let the juniors go out. That's why they are so blind and ignorant, thinking that it's us outside.
That era in your mouth!”
"I thought it was the chaotic era before, when anyone could do evil!"
Li Xiao sighed, this person was too courageous, but what he was more curious about now was, "Did they succeed?"
The old doctor shook his head and looked at Li Xiao as if he were a madman.
"How is it possible? They are not invulnerable, let alone infinitely powerful. How can they succeed?"
Li Xiao also thought it was impossible, but he just asked subconsciously. As for looking at him like this?
"Then the two of them were arrested. Only I knew about this. I never told Xiaomu. After all, it would be useless to tell him. It would only increase worries. Anyway, he is living a good life now.
.”
Li Xiao didn't know how to evaluate this matter, so he could only sigh and shake his head. Chen Xu, on the other hand, thought about it and asked: "Why don't you just talk to Xiao Mu."
Li Xiao shook his head, and the old doctor quickly refused, saying: "That child has a sensitive mind. If you talk to him directly, I'm afraid he will feel that his parents have done that kind of thing and he will be embarrassed."
When Chen Xu heard this, he gave up the idea.
The two of them had a meal at the old doctor's place, stayed for a while, and then left. Before leaving, Li Xiao didn't know why, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered many stories about this kind of plot in novels.
Every now and then, there will always be a protagonist here eavesdropping.
So Li Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, so he subconsciously glanced at the open space next to the house, only to see that it was empty and there was nothing there.
Li Xiao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had read too many novels and was thinking about these things. At this time, Chen Xu also called him, so Li Xiao didn't say anything more and left directly.
However, what Li Xiao didn't see was that there was a series of small footprints behind a crooked-neck tree in the open space.
The two returned to Xiaomu's home and saw Xiaomu sitting outside basking in the sun.
When Li Xiao saw him, he came to Xiaomu's side.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Xiaomu looked at Li Xiao, "Anything is fine."
Li Xiao nodded, so they went to the woods again. With good luck, they caught another nest of rabbits, and the female rabbit in that nest was also pregnant.
Li Xiao took the male rabbit away and gave the pregnant female rabbit to the old doctor. No one would want to offend the only doctor in the village.
I have to say that Li Xiao was right. Not only did he not, there were many people who saw the old doctor raising rabbits and would always pick up a few handfuls of grass, leaves, etc. and throw them to the rabbit.
