Xiao Qing woke up at an unknown time and looked at Bai Zhi and Shane Shaw like a monster.
Bai Zhi turned her back to Xiao Qing, and naturally didn’t notice her strangeness, but Shane Shaw had a full view of Xiao Qing’s facial expression. He closed his mouth and simply said with a smile: “Your companion seems to be awake.”
Only then did Bai Zhi turn around, seeing Xiao Qing’s strange gaze, she immediately understood, and smiled: “I happened to have learned their language, so I can speak a few words. You don’t need to be so surprised, it’s just another dialect.”
Xiao Qing swallowed hard: “Just, just another dialect?” How could she never hear this damn dialect? And it’s still the dialect of such a strange person. How many secrets does Bai Zhi have that she doesn’t know?
Bai Zhi patted Xiao Qing on the shoulder and said warmly: “Don’t do this, Shane Shaw will be embarrassed. He is also a human being, just like us, but his appearance and words are a little different. You know, this world is very big, bigger than you can imagine. And in this world, there are all kinds of people, living all kinds of lives.”
Xiao Qing seemed to understand and felt that she was indeed very rude, so she nodded her head towards Shane Shaw to express her apology.
Bai Zhi took out the snake meat that was left before, put it on the fire and heated it, and then handed it to Shane Shaw: “This is the snake that Xiao Qing caught. We ate some, and the taste is good, you can try it.”
Shane Shaw was almost going crazy with hunger. When he saw the grilled meat skewers, he didn’t care what kind of meat it was.
After eating, he was still not satisfied: “What kind of meat is this? It’s fresh and tender, and also delicious.”
Bai Zhi pointed to the snake head thrown at the other end of the fire and said: “It’s the meat of that kind of snake. There should be a lot of it on this island. If you like it, let’s look for it tomorrow, maybe we can find some.”
Shane Shaw had never eaten a snake before. He think it was a very disgusting thing. Just now, he found his meal taste wonderful. But at this time, when he saw the snake’s bloody head, his stomach began to turn over again.
He tried his best to suppress the feeling of vomiting.
It turned out that the delicious meat just now was snake meat. . .
It never occurred to him that snakes were edible. . .
“Have you never eaten it?” Looking at the wonderful expression on his face, Bai Zhi asked with a smile.
Shane Shaw shook his head: “I’ve never eaten it before.” He couldn’t believe that the cute little girl in front of him could eat snakes.
Bai Zhi said: “This kind of roasted snake is good, but if it is made into a snake soup, it will taste even better. If you want to try it, and if there is an opportunity in the future, I can make it for you.”
Shane Shaw swallowed again and smiled dryly: “Let’s talk about it next time.” He turned his eyes away, not daring to look at the bloody snake head again.
To express her apology for her previous rudeness, Xiao Qing took out the coconut pulp hidden in the medicine box, handed it to Shane Shaw, and said in Chinese words: “If you don’t like snake meat, eat this.”
Shane Shaw had eaten coconut pulp before. When he saw this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took it in his hand and thanked Xiao Qing again and again.
Neither of them could understand each other, but they both knew what the other was talking about.
This was the purest communication between people.
Bai Zhi thought, in the beginning, when human beings didn’t have their language and writing characters, wasn’t the communication between people relying on eyes and some simple movements?
No matter where you go, no matter who the other party was, as long as you treat them kindly, you will receive kindness.
