Surviving In The Ancient Times With Limitless Supplies
Chapter 73: Sulfur Smell

Chapter 73: Sulfur Smell

A Lu Ge thought Xu Xiang was hungry, so he said, "When my eldest brother comes back, I will take you to get your dinner."

Xu Xiang raised her eyebrows at him. Knowing that he had misunderstood, but she just nodded. It doesn’t matter if the little boy is misunderstood, because her real goal was to inspect the food and water, not to eat dinner.

There was a sudden silence in the tent, and both of them stood in place, waiting for A Lu Da to come back. Fortunately, after a short wait, A Lu Da came back with a tray. Seeing him walk in, Xu Xiang’s attention fell on the tray in his hand.

She stepped aside and let A Lu Da sit by the bed. Looking at the brown-red bowl of soup in his hand, she asked, "What is that?"

"This is porridge." A Lu Da replied while feeding his father.

"Porridge? What kind of porridge?" She asked again.

Hearing her question, A Lu Ge looked at her in surprise and asked, "You don’t know what kind of porridge this is?"

Xu Xiang didn’t answer him, but sniffed the air with her nose. Unfortunately, there was no aroma of porridge at all. A Lu Da watched her sniff around and said, "This is millet porridge."

"Millet porridge? Why is it this color?" She asked in doubt.

The brothers looked at each other and shrugged. The millet porridge they have known since birth is this kind of millet porridge. If there are other millet porridges, it is most likely the millet porridge that outsiders consume.

Xu Xiang watched A Lu Da feed the millet porridge to Ha Tai for a while, and then A Lu Ge tugged at the corner of her clothes. She looked at him, and he said, "Do you still want to go to dinner? If you come too late, you will have nothing to eat."

She nodded and said, "Lead the way."

A Lu Ge glanced at his father again, then walked out of the tent, with Xu Xiang following behind him. When she came out of the tent, she was startled because there were many people around the tent, whispering among themselves. As soon as the two left, the eyes of those people stayed on her.

Sensing the hostility and curiosity of those people, she turned to look at A Lu Ge and said, "It seems that your people really hate outsiders."

A Lu Ge glanced at her and said, "We just protect ourselves from outsiders."

Xu Xiang looked at the serious expression on the boy’s face that didn’t match his age, and asked curiously: "I don’t think anyone will come to this place. Why do you need to be so hostile?"

After asking, she remembered how deep the ravine was. Falling into the ravine, no one can survive. A Lu Ge thought for a while before answering her.

"The Jia tribe’s people said that those outsiders eat human flesh and drink human blood. If we don’t want to be eaten, we must protect ourselves from outsiders." He said seriously.

When Xu Xiang heard his answer, she couldn’t believe it. Such words came from such a cute boy. After the original surprise calmed down, she seriously pondered on A Lu Ge’s words.

’The people of the Jia tribe seem to be able to contact outsiders. There must be a way for them to get out of here without going through the deep ravine. Also, the way they portray outsiders like every outsider is a cannibal. But... There is no smoke without fire. There must be some truth behind the reason why they think this way. If there is a phenomenon of cannibalism in this world, then I think it will not be easy for me to live in peace and stability.’

Just when Xu Xiang was still thinking about what A Lu Ge said before, A Lu Ge stopped and pointed to the bonfire in front of him.

"This is where we have dinner. Let’s hurry up. It seems that there is not much porridge left." With that said, he ran towards the bonfire.

Xu Xiang looked around and saw several people sitting around the bonfire, holding wooden bowls and wooden cups in their hands. When she got closer to the bonfire, everyone there stopped eating and stared at her.

After being stared at by such eyes all day long, she already got used to it. When she was standing not far from the bonfire, A Lu Ge motioned her to come closer. Seeing that he had scooped up two bowls of millet porridge, she walked over to him.

A Lu Ge sat in an empty seat, patted the ground beside him and said, "Let’s sit here."

Xu Xiang sat beside him, took a bowl of millet porridge from him, as A Lu Ge said, "Fortunately, there is still porridge left. If we’re even a little late, there won’t be a drop of porridge left."

After speaking, he happily ate his millet porridge. Xu Xiang moved her eyes away from him, and then looked at the bowl of millet porridge in her hand. She didn’t start eating, but sniffed the millet porridge. She took a few sniffs before stirring the porridge with a spoon.

’Why does this porridge have a faint sulfur smell? There is even some metallic red dust mixed in this porridge.’

A Lu Ge saw that she was only staring and stirring the porridge, so he asked, "Why didn’t you eat?"

Thinking of the candy, milk, and the meat bun she gave him before, he asked, "Do you think this porridge is not delicious? You don’t like it?"

Xu Xiang looked at him silently for a while, and asked, "Can I take a drop of your blood as a sample?"

Unable to keep up with her train of thought, A Lu Ge tilted his head and said, "I don’t mind giving you a drop of blood, but... can you give me the delicious milk again?"
