"No!" Li Xiu replied with great certainty. If it weren't for Sun Simiao's reminder, he would probably be kept in the dark.???

"Have Master Xuanzang left any letters or something for you to pass on?" Fuqin showed an unwilling expression when she heard Li Xiu's answer, and asked Li Xiu again.

"No, Xuanzang left very suddenly. He told me the day before he left!" Li Xiu replied patiently again, but after Fuqin heard his answer, a look of loss appeared on his face.

Fuqin came to see Li Xiu today, but in fact she wanted to inquire about Xuanzang. Now her purpose has been achieved, so there is no need to stay anymore. She said goodbye to Li Xiu, and Li Xiu was also put on the "gentleman" hat by the other party, and she was unwilling to inquire about the origin of her and the little lady behind her, so she did not try to keep her and asked Yuechan to send her out of the mansion.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and Li Xiu didn't take it seriously. He should eat and play in the next few days, but what he didn't expect was that the little maid played the piano would come every once in a while, and every time he just simply asked about Xuanzang's news. However, Li Xiu was not often able to receive Xuanzang's news. After all, the other party had already gone too far, and in the end, he could only return disappointed when playing the piano.

Seeing that the harvest season was coming again, Li Xiu took a few children out, and while playing, he told them some knowledge related to food, such as memorizing poems like "The Farmer" to let the children know that food is not easy to get, so that they will not waste food when eating, etc.

However, although Li Xiu had a good idea, the children were too naughty, especially Jin'er and Ping Yanglang were too young to understand what Li Xiu was talking about. Instead, they were more interested in the grasshoppers flying by the grass. As a result, after a while, the children all ran to catch grasshoppers, and in the end, even Li Xiu, an unreliable teacher, joined in.

Autumn is the fattest season for grasshoppers, and they can't fly far with their long belly. Moreover, this thing is a pest, and catching some can also make them harm food. Therefore, in a short while, Li Xiu caught more than a dozen big grasshoppers. Jin'er and Mingkong also caught a lot, but they couldn't tell the difference between grasshoppers and locusts. As a result, even locusts were caught together, and there were even a few crickets mixed in it, which made Li Xiu laugh.

Looking at these fat grasshoppers, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of the interesting story of roasting grasshoppers when he was a child. He also spent his childhood in the countryside, and his family was relatively poor. He rarely ate meat several times a year, so he was very greedy for all the meat he could eat, such as grasshoppers in the grass, frogs on the river bank, loaches and crayfish in the green mud, etc., all of which were delicious foods he had eaten when he was a child.

He did it as soon as he wanted to do it. At that moment, Li Xiu directed a few little guys to pick up some firewood and weeds, and then a bunch of small fires rose up in an open space. He found a thin wooden stick to skew the grasshoppers on it, and put it on the fire to roast it. The little guys all stared at Li Xiu with their eyes wide open, with curious expressions on their faces.

"Sir, are you roasting grasshoppers for eating?" At this time, Wu Mingkong was the first to ask. Among the children, Li Lizhi was the oldest, but she was not in good health, was smaller and had a gentler and quiet personality. On the contrary, Wu Mingkong, who was younger than her, was more lively. She was the head of several children, and even Jin'er and Ping'anlang had to listen to her.

"Yes, grasshoppers are a delicious food, and the taste is similar to shrimp meat. You will know when you try it later!" Li Xiu said with a smile. Hearing that Li Xiu's roasted grasshoppers were indeed used for eating, Wu Mingkong, Jin'er, and Ping'anlang both showed an expression of interest, but Li Zhi and Mian Niang were a little scared. After all, it's okay to catch grasshoppers, but they were still a little scared when they were asked to eat these bugs.

There is no need for any seasoning to roast grasshoppers. They just burn their heads and claws on the fire, and their long belly is also roasted up. At that moment, Li Xiu took off a grasshopper, removed the head, and then teared the stomach open, and removed the black thread from the grasshopper's belly. Then he put it in his mouth and chewed it. A familiar fragrance also bloomed on the tip of his tongue. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the carefree childhood of his previous life.

Seeing that Li Xiu was eating so delicious, Wu Mingkong, the most courageous one, was not willing to be inferior. He immediately took a roasted grasshopper and cleaned it up like Li Xiu. Then he put it in his little mouth and tasted it. It turned out that it was not unpalatable, and it was indeed a bit like shrimp meat as the husband said, which made her completely relieved and stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.

When the two boys Jin'er and Ping'anlang saw Wu Mingkong eating, they also grabbed the grasshoppers and ate them. They were too young and didn't know what fear was. Of course, it was impossible to remove the head, claws and intestines like Li Xiu, and they stuffed them into their mouths and then ate them. In fact, it doesn't matter. The grasshoppers mainly eat grass, and there is nothing dirty in their stomachs. However, Li Xiu was still worried that if they had eaten their stomachs, they would help them peel the grasshoppers and give them food. However, Mian Niang and Lizhi refused to eat them no matter what.

There were three children in adults and three children. The grasshoppers they caught were not enough to eat. In the end, Li Xiu even roasted the locusts together. In fact, although the locusts and grasshoppers looked different, they were almost the same. He often ate them when he was a child, but the locusts could fly and were generally not easy to catch.

After eating grasshoppers and locusts, the three children were still a little unsatisfied. As a result, under the leadership of Wu Mingkong, several children rushed into the grass again. It seemed that the grasshoppers and locusts in the grass were in great danger today.

Seeing the children running around in the grass, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little happy, but at this moment, a bug suddenly flew towards him, which made him instinctively reach out to catch him, but he actually caught him. When he saw carefully, it turned out to be a locust, which made him smile. It was really "If you have a way in heaven, you don't go, and if you have no way in hell, you can break in." After a while, I'll send this locust to drink.

"Huh?" But at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Xiu's mind, because he found that there seemed to be too many locusts in the grass, and he could even catch a few children at will. This is not a good sign, because in ancient times, in addition to floods and droughts, there was also a disaster that made people feel scared, that is, the locust plague!

Thinking of the locust plague, Li Xiu suddenly thought of a historical legend in later generations. Although it is not certain whether this legend was born in real history, if it is true, it would be bad! 8
