Nan Feng walked over, snorting disdainfully, “You come begging first thing in the morning, but you’re too proud to come in.”
“Who are you calling a beggar?”
“Whoever answers is the one!” Nan Feng shot her a glance and called into the house, “Brother Ye, Second Uncle!”
Soon, the wooden door creaked open, and it was Brother Ye who opened it.
“Brother Ye, are you going hunting in the mountains today?
If you’re going, let’s go together,” Nan Feng said with a smile.
Their relationship felt much more natural now that they were friends.
Brother Ye agreed without much thought.
“Okay, but we’ll have to wait a while.”
Brother Ye then saw Second Uncle’s wife and their three-year-old son at the entrance.
Before Brother Ye could say anything, Second Uncle’s wife spoke up, “Why are you looking?
What’s there to look at?”
She then dragged her son away, who was crying, “I want to eat bugs, I want to eat bugs.”
“…”
Nan Feng waited until the mother and daughter were gone before she asked Brother Ye, “Does your family eat insects?”
Brother Ye nodded.
“Really eating insects?
What kind of insects?
I’d like to try it too,” Nan Feng said, full of anticipation.
When she was a special agent, she often had to undergo survival training in the wild, sometimes eating insect larvae to stave off hunger.
But in the wilderness, they couldn’t cook so they ate them raw.
The taste was really hard to stomach.
She had always wanted to try them fried if she ever had the chance, and now that chance was here.
“All right, come with me,” Brother Ye said.
Nan Feng went with Brother Ye to the kitchen where Second Uncle was.
Upon seeing Nan Feng, Second Uncle said, “Ah, Feng girl is here.
Brother Ye, grab another pair of chopsticks, let’s let Feng girl taste our cicada monkeys.”
“Cicada monkey?” Nan Feng laughed, “What an unusual name.”
Brother Ye explained, “Actually, it’s just what cicadas look like before they turn into insects.
Second Uncle caught them last night in the woods.
He’s really good at catching insects.”
“It’s nothing special.
I’m getting old.
I used to be able to catch two bowls-worth in a night, but now, I’m lucky to get a bowl,” Second Uncle said, laughing.
“Maybe it’s because there are fewer and fewer cicada monkeys, thanks to you catching most of them,” Nan Feng joked, sitting down by the table just as Brother Ye handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Nan Feng looked at the large plate of golden-fried insects on the table.
Her mouth watered instantly.
She immediately picked one up to taste and was met with a delicious flavor.
It tasted somewhat meaty, somewhat eggy, and was both fragrant and crispy.
It also had a crunch when she bit into it.
“This is delicious,” Nan Feng said, giving Second Uncle a thumbs up while she ate.
“If the girl likes it, then eat more.
Second Uncle will catch more tonight,” Second Uncle said.
But Nan Feng didn’t dare to eat too much, knowing that she was a guest.
After tasting a few, she put her chopsticks down and wiped her mouth, “Second Uncle, I came to go hunting with Brother Ye on the mountain.
It’s getting late, we should hurry and leave.”
“Oh, hunting, sure.
Brother Ye told me that you’ve learned some kung fu from a master, you can hunt rabbits, and even wild boars,” Second Uncle said.
“And Brother Ye has been a big help,” Nan Feng said, “If it wasn’t for Brother Ye, there’s no way I would dare to go up the mountain alone.
Even if I could get there, I’d only be able to catch small things like rabbits.”
“Well, he should be.
He can’t let you go to the mountain alone.
Whenever you want to go up the mountain, call him to go with you.
He’s quite willing to protect you.”
“…” Nan Feng’s face suddenly blushed, but luckily the light in Second Uncle’s kitchen was dim, so they probably didn’t see.
