"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, I found grandpa!" Mao Doudou's childish voice suddenly came from outside the barracks.
Ye Dong walked out of the barracks and saw Mao Doudou running towards him. The pigtails on his head were swaying back and forth as he ran. His clear and big eyes were full of anxiety, and his little red face was still stained with dust.
"Doudou, what's wrong? Don't be in a hurry, run slowly." Ye Dong smiled and walked towards Mao Doudou.
At this time, night has enveloped the surrounding areas.
The generator at the army station began to roar. Torches were also lit next to the barbed wire fence surrounding the Iron Bark Village.
"Brother Ye, did I find grandpa just now?" Mao Doudou rushed to Ye Dong, took Ye Dong's big hand and said excitedly.
"Where is your grandpa now? Is he in there?" Ye Dong pointed at the iron village surrounded by barbed wire.
"No, grandpa is over there." Mao Doudou pointed to a very small room in the barracks, which had the word "warehouse" written on it.
"Let's go, take uncle to have a look."
Ye Dong and Mao Doudou came to the small warehouse. Mao Doudou put his little ear to the green iron door and said, "Brother Ye, listen, it's grandpa's voice. I heard grandpa coughing."
Ye Dong listened carefully, and sure enough, an old man's voice came from the small warehouse.
The old man seemed to be out of breath. Occasionally he let out a slight cough or two, but the sound was very soft. If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all.
At this time, Zhao Yonggang saw Ye Dong standing at the door of the tool room and walked over curiously.
"Director Ye, are you okay? This is our tool room." Zhao Yonggang said with a smile.
"Do you have the key to the tool room?" Ye Dong pointed to the big lock on the door and said, "Doudou's grandfather is inside."
"Uh! If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot." Zhao Yonggang slapped his head in shock, "Director Ye, just wait, I will get the key for you right away."
Zhao Yonggang trotted away and came back a moment later with a bunch of keys.
"On the first day we came here, we encountered this old man crawling out of the village, followed by many violent villagers chasing him. At that time, after we rescued the old man, we found that he had
There were many traces of bites. In order to prevent the old man from being infected with the virus, we locked him into this tool room. Unexpectedly, we have been so busy these days that we forgot about it..." Zhao Yonggang opened the lock
He said with a smile.
When the door of the warehouse opened, Doudou called out to Grandpa and ran in, but was held back by Zhao Yonggang.
"Be careful! Your grandfather has been infected with the virus!" Zhao Yonggang said loudly.
Ye Dong turned his clairvoyance, scanned Grandpa Doudou's body, and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Doudou is not infected with the OL virus."
With a whoosh, Doudou got rid of Zhao Yonggang's big hand, shouted grandpa, and rushed towards a little old man huddled in the corner.
The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His gray hair was messy, his clothes were in tatters, and there were many eye-catching wounds on his body. He looked extremely miserable.
"Grandpa! What's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
"Grandpa, I am Doudou, please open your eyes and look at me."
"Grandpa, just say it, you must not die. I don't want you to die..."
Doudou shook her grandfather's body and cried heartbrokenly.
Ye Dong walked to his grandfather and grandson, squatted down, and silently condensed a rice-sized vitality crystal on his fingertips, and then dropped the tiny crystal on the Baihui point on Grandpa Doudou's head.
Seeing the dense vitality filling Grandpa Doudou's body like mist, Ye Dong felt a little curious. There were obviously wounds everywhere on this old man's body that were bitten by those infected by OL, but why was this old man not infected?
Grandpa Doudou slowly woke up, his dim old eyes full of tiredness, "Doudou..."
"Grandpa! You finally woke up." Doudou wiped her tears and said with a look of surprise.
"Doudou, don't worry, your grandpa just passed out from hunger. He will be fine after eating and drinking enough." Ye Dong comforted softly.
Hearing Ye Dong's words, Zhao Yonggang's old face turned red with embarrassment. It was his own negligence that almost caused the old man to starve to death. Fortunately, Director Ye discovered it in time, otherwise, he would have to bear the consequences.
He quickly called in two soldiers, carried the old man out, and fed him well.
In fact, the old man's physique is indeed different from ordinary people. It may be because he has never given up physical work, and Ye Dong's drop of vitality crystal has played a role in his body. The old man ate and drank enough, burped, and stood up
, as if nothing was wrong, he couldn't help but thank Ye Dong, Fang Dusha and others.
Because he had heard what Doudou said, if it weren't for Ye Dong and the others, Doudou would probably have been eaten by mountain birds and beasts at this moment, even if he hadn't frozen to death in a tree hole.
After the old man regained his strength, he saw that no one had eaten dinner yet. He felt a little sorry when he thought that so many people were watching him eat alone, so he called out to Doudou, and he and his grandson were going to make a meal for Ye Dong and others.
A hearty frog dinner.
At the same time, in a mountainous field ten kilometers away from Tiepi Village, there were two strange-looking people walking slowly towards the direction of Tiepi Village.
Two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were both wearing bright red cloaks. Their faces could not be seen in the night, but the auras emanating from their bodies were very strange.
"I don't understand, since we are going to Tiebi Village, why do we have to bypass Shipo Town? The people and livestock in that town are definitely enough for our children to have a good meal." The thin man said,
The voice sounded like a woman.
"Why are we going to Shipo Town? There are thousands of people there. If they are all eaten by children, it will definitely alarm the strange people and strangers hidden in China. Although we are not afraid of them, the number of children is too shocking.
.In case of public outrage, it is a trivial matter for us to run away, but the fruits of our hard work will be destroyed in one day." said the tall fat man.
When he spoke, his Adam's apple surged, but the sound was like a sharp instrument scratching the glass, sharp and harsh, so unpleasant that it made people's hair explode when they heard it.
"But why do we have to go to Tiebi Village?" the short woman Jie Jie asked with a strange smile.
"Because there are good things our children have been waiting for for a long time..." the tall fat man laughed.
…
Doudou and Grandpa worked together very well, and after half an hour, they cooked a pot of frog dinner for Ye Dong and others.
"Don't over stew this frog. It's best when it's seven or eight years old. It's fragrant, the meat is tender, the soup is fresh, and the taste is really good." The old man said with a smile.
Doudou was drooling greedily on the side.
Fang Dusha and Liu Xiaolan almost retched, the people from the Tinpi Village actually ate toads!
Ye Dong was not averse to this kind of natural delicacy. He had carefully observed it by the river. It seemed that there were a lot of frogs in the river near Tiepi Village. It was not an exaggeration to cook a frog meal once in a while.
"Okay, it's time to eat."
Grandpa Doudou opened the lid of the pot and invited everyone to taste it.
In order to thank Ye Dong for saving Doudou and his grandson, the old man enthusiastically served Ye Dong a bowl of fragrant frog meat.
"Eat quickly, Director Ye, the frog meat should be eaten while it's hot." The old man said with a smile.
Ye Dong smiled and picked up a piece of hind leg with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, his expression changed, and with a pop, he spat the frog meat out of his mouth.
"You can't eat this meat!" Ye Dong said loudly.
Everyone was holding bowls and looking at him in surprise.
"This frog meat is the source of infection of the OL virus." Ye Dong said.
"Director Ye, no way, my old man has been eating this frog meat for decades, how could it be the source of virus infection?"
Grandpa Doudou was very puzzled. He had good intentions and invited his savior to have a big meal, but unexpectedly his savior said that his big meal was the source of virus infection, which made the old man very hurt.
Liu Xiaolan and Fang Dusha looked at Ye Dong in surprise. Although they didn't know why Ye Dong said this, since he said that the frog meat was the source of OL virus infection, he must have a reason.
The bowls that Director Wu and Director Liao had picked up suddenly froze in the air, and they both looked at Ye Dong in surprise. I really don't know why Ye Dong said this.
"Brother Ye, this frog meat is not a source of infection." Doudou said, "My grandpa and I have eaten a lot of it before."
Ye Dong looked at Doudou with a smile, then turned to Grandpa Doudou and said: "Old man, don't get me wrong. I said that this frog chicken is the source of virus infection, and I don't mean to blame you at all. I want to ask, what is your Tiepi Village like?
Is there a custom of eating frog meat?”
Grandpa Doudou looked at the solemn expressions of the people around him, and then he realized how much influence the young-looking Director Xiaoye had among these people.
He looked at the steaming cauldron and said with some regret: "Director Ye is right. We in Tiepi Village do have the custom of eating frog meat. During every New Year and festival, almost every family makes frog rice.
My old man is quite old, and Doudou is young, so usually we can grab one or two frogs, which is pretty good."
Ye Dong said that frog meat is the source of infection of the OL virus, which is not an exaggeration. Because when he put the frog meat into his mouth, he could clearly feel a trace of blue disease gas being released on the tip of his tongue.
His senses were so ridiculously strong and perverted that to others, they just thought it was a fat frog dinner, but Ye Dong could feel the danger contained in it.
But, why do all the villagers in Tiepi Village eat frog meat, but Doudou and her grandfather are the only two people who are not infected with the OL virus?
Suddenly, Ye Dong turned his attention to the wounds on Grandpa Doudou's body.
"Old man, when you used to eat frog meat, what else did you often eat?" Ye Dong asked.
"What else is there to eat?" The old man fell into deep thought.
