"Yes, of course I am. Captain Nie grew up under my watch. Last year, I almost fell to death in the mountains. It was he who brought people and braved the heavy rain to look for me all night. Otherwise, I would have died long ago." The old man described it vividly.

Guan Ning nodded: "I see."

"What about Long Yun, old man? Do you know him?"

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned immediately.

"This……"

"If it's inconvenient for the old man to talk about it, forget it. I'm just asking casually and will leave soon." Guan Ning did not ask any further questions.

The old man looked outside the door and whispered, "Actually, there's nothing bad to say."

"Except for Nie Nan, all the other young leaders in Bashan are..." He shook his head and pursed his lips.

"Except for Nie Nan, who is truly doing this for the good of Shu, I think the others are worthless and have their own agendas. At least they don't treat us old guys as their own."

"The Long Yun you mentioned is quite promising. He has many subordinates and a lot of money, but everyone is just afraid of him and doesn't respect him."

"I don't know who the ancestors will choose to be the head of the family in the end. Hey, old man, I've said too much. I've said too much. Please don't be offended. Come and have some tea."

Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue looked at each other, as if they both potentially regarded Long Yun as an enemy. After all, Long Yun had sent people to assassinate them, and according to the old man, Nie Nan and Long Yun were still competitors.

After spending a few days together, as a friend, Guan Ning would definitely help Nie Nan.

"Okay, thank you, old man." Guan Ning picked up the tea and drank it all.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while about the situation in Shu, just like talking about family matters, and the old man told them everything he knew.

Suddenly, Guan Ning's eyes flashed.

"Hey, this is it?"

He stood up, almost thinking he was seeing things, when he saw something fluttering in a bluestone vat in the old man's yard.

When I got closer, I saw that it was longer than my palm, blue-black in color, with very long whiskers and pincers.

"Fuck, it's really shrimp!" Guan Ning exclaimed, overjoyed. He hadn't seen this thing for a long time. It wasn't available in the capital, and it had never appeared on the tables of ordinary people.

As a time traveler, his mouth was watering because he loved eating shrimp in his previous life.

"Shrimp, what are shrimps?" The old man was stunned for a moment: "Sir, these are worms that I caught from the river. I plan to chop them up and feed them to the pigs."

"Bugs? Feed the pigs?" Guan Ning raised his voice, feeling that his brain was not enough. This was too willful. Use it to feed the pigs?

He used to think that there were no shrimps in ancient times, but it turns out there were, it’s just that the ancients treated shrimps as insects.

I don’t know the specific species of the shrimp in front of me, but because the ancient rivers were completely pollution-free and contained no heavy metals, they are very large and plump.

Even the shrimp emperor can be seen through the shell.

Gulu!

Guan Ning swallowed hard and said, "Uncle, this isn't a bug, it's a shrimp!"

"What is shrimp?" The old man was confused. This word was beyond his understanding.

At this time, Lou Xinyue, who had been very quiet, was also attracted over.

"It's just a kind of food, a kind of seafood!"

"Ah, how is that possible, sir? This can't be eaten! It's a worm from the river. How can you eat it with so many tentacles?"

"A few years ago, someone accidentally ate this shrimp and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and almost died." The old man warned seriously.

Lou Xinyue also frowned: "In the Jiangnan area, this is called a water centipede. Did you see it wrong? Can this be eaten?"

Guan Ning stamped his feet anxiously.

"Yes, yes, absolutely!"

"You don't know, after you remove the shell, this thing is full of meat. It's rich in protein, fat, and a variety of trace elements. Children will grow taller if they eat it, and adults will gain weight if they eat it. It's definitely a good thing!"

"I thought I would never be able to eat these things again, but I didn't expect to encounter them here!" He excitedly picked up the net and cast it directly.

At this moment, Lou Xinyue and the old man were completely stunned. What is protein? What is this element?

Wow!

As Guan Ning cast the net, at least twenty fat shrimps came up, snapping... They kept jumping around, looking extremely lively.
