Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 10 Multiple Choice Questions

"There, the first bite of protein I ate was maggots." Ye Mimi told her experience "keeping promise".

Lin Xiaodong spit out the fish in his mouth after hearing this.

"When there are only two options in front of you, the rotten goat and the maggots on it, how would you choose?" Ye Mimi continued, looking at Lin Xiaodong with gloating eyes, picked up a piece of translucent fish, Don't dip it in wasabi and soy sauce, put it in your mouth and taste it carefully.

"I choose not to eat." Lin Xiaodong wiped his mouth with a tissue in embarrassment, and replied firmly.

Ye Mimi sneered: "I forgot that there is a third option, option [-] is rotten flesh, option [-] is maggots... option [-] is death, isn't it easier to make a choice?"

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Lin Xiaodong across the table.

"It's hard to say, I might choose to die." Lin Xiaodong joked bluntly.

"Death is the easiest option." Ye Mimi replied seriously, "If you want to live, you have to do multiple-choice questions seriously."

"How did you get lost?" Lin Xiaodong was really curious.

"I rolled down the hillside while collecting herbs." Ye Mimi replied without thinking.

Lin Xiaodong has faced too many criminals before, so he has no way of judging whether Ye Mimi's answer is true or not. This kind of quick answer is not so much the truth as his question is within her expectation.

And she is happy to add more details: "At first I was struggling to hold onto a branch, not big, just as thick as a finger. But it had just snowed that day, it was so cold, and the branch was wet and slippery. His hands were getting so cold that he lost consciousness.

I can only watch my hand gradually slide down, one millimeter, two millimeters...

In fact, I hardly remember the process of falling. It should be knocked out by the branches on the hillside very quickly.

But the process of holding on to the branch was too long and torturous, I couldn't concentrate and grasp it, because there were too many distracting thoughts in my mind, the memories of my short life, I was not ready to say goodbye to this world, but there was nothing I could do , Many people say despair, but I think not everyone knows the real despair. "

As she said that, she put down her chopsticks and picked up the clear water beside her. She didn't drink it, but just looked at the transparent liquid inside, thoughtfully, and didn't let her emotions fluctuate in the slightest because of the terrible memories. She was even replaying: " I was just inexperienced at the time, but I should have decided to adjust my posture earlier and then let go, find a good angle with the steep slope, and slide down against the slope. Fortunately, I was lucky, and I didn’t fall to my death when I rolled down in such a mess.”

"How old were you then?"

"14 is old."

"That's still a child, how could he be so calm, besides, he doesn't have that kind of survival experience."

"Yes, if you survive, you will have a chance to improve." When Ye Mimi said this, he stared at Lin Xiaodong. For some reason, Lin Xiaodong seemed familiar with that look, and his heart shuddered. He remembered that it was Nakano in the dark night in his dream. The gaze of the wolf.

"..." Lin Xiaodong didn't know how to respond, so he buried his head in a mouthful of Yusheng, and even the best Yusheng had an inexplicable bloody smell, making it hard to swallow.

"Actually, maggots are not unpalatable, just the taste of protein. Later, there is no shortage of food. I still occasionally put them on the leaves and bake them. They taste like milk-flavored popcorn." Ye Mimi continued, even a little It means endless aftertaste.

"Have you been to Linzhou before you went to Linda University?" Lin Xiaodong tried to bring the topic back to his main position.

"No." Ye Mimi answered without thinking again, exactly the same as last time, the kind of frankness that comes from preparation.

"I read your information. You are from Alan County in western Sichuan. Do you speak Sichuanese or Tibetan?"

"Tibetan is the main language."

"Tell me a few words?"

Ye Mimi pursed her lips and smiled, and now whenever she smiled, Lin Xiaodong would feel a little flustered, not because of fear, but because of the irresistible appeal that would make people feel good about her unconsciously, he knew this This kind of goodwill is very subjective, and he doesn't like this kind of subjectivity.

"You don't need to beat around the bush if you want to continue to investigate me. However, I said that tonight I will talk to you about the first meat I ate in the wild. The theme that has been set cannot be changed." She said With a raised eyebrow, there are all kinds of styles.

"Your first meal was maggots. I already know that." Of course, Lin Xiaodong would not easily follow Ye Mimi's meaning. He has received professional training. "It's time to move on to the second topic."

"Maggots are just protein, not meat. My first decent meal of meat was a long time ago, and I forgot what day it was, you know? After leaving civilized society, you forget the time. Months What day and what time are all meaningless. You just remember what your last meal was, where your last shelter was, and where was your last wolf track.

It was a thunderstorm in winter. In that deep valley, I realized that it turns out that there can be heavy rainstorms with lightning and thunder in winter.I hid under a protruding rock and panicked. The scene was magnificent and terrifying. I often recall it. For hundreds of millions of years, nature has been like this. She can destroy any existence that she wants to destroy, and we are used to hiding. Sitting in a well and watching the sky in the city I built.

At that time, I was wrapped in a tattered mud-stained coat, curled up in the cave, and watched blankly as the entire valley was flooded by heavy rain.Unexpectedly, nature is teaching me the first secret of survival.

I saw a lot of little gray things scurrying out of the heavy rain. "

"Uh..." Lin Xiaodong seemed to understand, "It can't be a mouse."

Ye Mimi always smiled: "You guessed it right. The heavy rain filled their caves. At that time, I didn't eat anything except a few maggots the size of rice grains. Seeing these food delivered to my door, I went crazy. to catch.

At that time, I was very weak and my skills were unfamiliar. I flung left and right in the heavy rain. After a long time of tossing, I finally caught one, which was a small mouse the size of a fist. "

"You won't eat it directly, will you?"

Ye Mimi blinked at Lin Xiaodong: "Otherwise? Eating barbecue is a later thing. Do you want to know what it tastes like?"

"Uh, no need." Lin Xiaodong had completely lost his appetite at this time.

"Hehe, mouse, it's really not good. Even though I was starving to death at that time, when I took the first bite, I still retched and vomited a lot of yellow water, but I knew I had to survive, so I still put It ate it, from head to tail, and swallowed it with fur, just like a snake eats. To be honest, I ate all kinds of meat later, and rat meat was still the worst kind of meat. But that's me The stable source of meat in those two years, that valley, often rained, with this experience, I will set traps outside the mouse holes before it rains, if you are interested, we can talk about the traps next time." Yeh Mimi said, showing a secretive smile, the word "trap" seemed to have something in it, "The most important thing is the right bait."
