Chapter 50 Bear Paw

When Ringo, who was stirring the pot, heard this, his hands shook and he almost dropped the tableware to the ground.

I have only seen the word "Internet" in history books.

Tiantian's eyes trembled slightly. She looked at Qiao Jiajin and asked with a serious face: "Qiao Jiajin, last time you said...in what year were you born?"

"Didn't I say it? 1979." Qiao Jiajin scratched his nose with a finger and said nonchalantly, "1979, what happened?"

Tiantian stood up slowly and stared cautiously into Qiao Jiajin's eyes: "Aren't you kidding me? If you were really born in 1979, you would be in your forties this year."

Ringo was slightly startled when he heard this, and turned to look at Tiantian: "It doesn't seem right..."

Qi Xia ignored the people arguing and instead served himself a bowl of meat.

Qiao Jiajin frowned, feeling that what Tiantian said was very difficult to understand: "Tiantian, what's the matter with you? Are you stupid because of hunger? How can a handsome young man like me look like he is in his forties?"

Yes, he doesn't look forty.

Judging from his appearance and physical fitness, there is no way he is in his forties.

Xiaoxiao on the side heard several people talking, but like Qi Xia, she remained motionless.

Lin Ye moved his mouth slightly and asked, "Qiao Jiajin, what year is it now?"

Qiao Jiajin stared at her suspiciously: "2006."

He turned around and found Tiantian and Ringo staring at him in disbelief, which made him feel even stranger.

"Why are you all staring at me?"

Ringo felt that the whole thing was unspeakably weird. He turned to look at Tiantian and asked, "Tiantian, which year are you from?"

"I'm from 2019..." Tiantian frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Ringo felt weak all over and slowly sat down: "Everyone...I come from 2068..."

"Huh??" Qiao Jiajin was shocked, "2068??"

Qi Xia nodded silently after hearing this.

Yes, she does look like someone from the future.

Then everything makes sense.

In her era, masks were worn from childhood, and masks would be as common as ordinary clothing from birth.

So she looks strange when she's not wearing a mask, and feels like she's not wearing any clothes.

With the rapid development of the Internet, she did not need to know what a "leaflet" was. Online advertisements were enough to dazzle people.

Qi Xia shook his head silently. Unexpectedly, everyone still noticed this problem.

"Isn't this even weirder..." Tiantian's lips trembled slightly and she said to everyone, "We are not from the same year, but we gathered on the same day. Is this really what "God" did... "

After hearing this, Ringo said in disbelief: "If we are not from the same day, then the "earthquake" we encountered before coming here is not the same thing..."

After speaking, she looked at Qiao Jiajin again: "But in my memory, I have never heard of a large-scale earthquake in your area..."

"What about you?" Tiantian suddenly asked Qi Xia, "What year are you from?"

"I'm from 2022." Qi Xia said.

"What the hell is going on?!" Qiao Jiajin felt a little dizzy, "Liar, why is this happening? You are so smart, have you guessed something?"

Qi Xia shook his head. None of the theoretical knowledge he knew could explain the situation at hand.

Why do everyone come from different time periods?

Did "God" choose these people randomly, or was it intentional?

What is the time span of the participants?

"In any case, we will only gather here for ten days." Qi Xia looked at the dark red sky outside the window, his eyes very determined, "Whether all this is done by "gods" or not, I don't care. Now I just want to fill my stomach and find the "Tao" as soon as possible. Even if you care about this issue very much, I don't recommend you to explore the truth. "

After hearing Qi Xia's words, everyone slowly sat down.

Yes, Qi Xia was right, they were going out.

No matter which year everyone comes from, they all have the same purpose, which is to escape from this ghost place and return to their original lives.

Spending several days investigating the "time period" issue would defeat their purpose.

The five people took the small bowls from the restaurant and each filled a bowl of broth with their expressions still a bit unnatural.

The mysteries of this place seem to be wrapped up layer by layer, and there are so many things that everyone wants to figure out.

But as Qi Xia said, if you want to explore the truth, you will definitely waste a lot of time.

Which is more important, "the truth" or "escape"?

"Yeah... don't think about it." Tiantian sighed, "Have we experienced too many "unbelievable" things? "

Lin Yu and Qiao Jiajin looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Tiantian picked up an old frying spoon, slowly tore off the meat from the bear's arm, and put some into everyone's bowl.

The bear's arm had been stewed to a pulp, and with a slight touch, the flesh separated from the bones. A smell of meat also wafted out, along with hot and rich juice, impacting everyone's nostrils.

"It's... quite delicious." Qiao Jiajin swallowed and took his bowl.

Qi Xia also held the bowl in his hands and did not move.

He glanced at Xiaoxiao out of the corner of his eye, and after seeing her starting to eat, Qi Xia waited silently for a while.

Only after he was sure that the food in front of him was completely fine did he tear off a piece of white meat from the bone.

He brought the bear meat to his nose and smelled it. The aroma was fragrant. Then he threw the meat into his mouth. With a light bite, the hot gravy exploded in his mouth.

"Huh..." Qi Xia was burned and exhaled a few breaths of hot air. Then he chewed it randomly and swallowed the white meat.

It tasted bad.

He had never thought that bear meat would be so bad.

It felt fat and greasy when it entered his mouth. After chewing it a few times, it left a mouthful of mutton smell.

Maybe it was because they didn't have any seasoning, or maybe the taste of bear meat was like this. In short, Qi Xia didn't want to touch this bowl of food again after just the first bite.

He looked at Ringo on the side. She also frowned, her facial features twisted together, as if she had eaten a very sour lemon.

Qiao Jiajin and Tiantian didn't feel anything. They chewed the meat in big mouthfuls while looking at the two people.

"What's wrong? It doesn't taste good?" Qiao Jiajin asked.

"What do you think?" Qi Xia asked, "We are from different generations, so do our taste buds also differ?"

"It really tastes bad." Qiao Jiajin said incoherently, "But we have to survive, liar, you probably didn't eat leftovers from the garbage when you were a child, did you?"

Qi Xia felt a little interesting when he heard Qiao Jiajin's words. He put down the bowl in his hand and said jokingly: "Qiao Jiajin, your usual diet is quite substantial. You have not only eaten bear paws, but also garbage?"

"Liar, you are a little presumptuous..." Qiao Jiajin stuffed another large piece of meat into his mouth and said, "Do you know how much older I am than you? Call me "Master Qiao" from now on, and I will protect you. Master Qiao has eaten more garbage in his life than you have eaten bear paws."

"I say it again, I have neither eaten bear paws nor garbage. "

Tiantian and Ringo were amused by the two again, as if the food in their hands had become more delicious.

Yes, no matter what era everyone came from, they were all comrades at this moment.

Qi Xia stopped bickering with Qiao Jiajin and picked up a few more pieces of meat from the bowl and ate them.

In any case, eating something is better than being hungry. I don't know what kind of game will be played next, and I need to keep sufficient physical strength at all times.

The bear's paw happened to be in Qi Xia's bowl. He thought the so-called "bear paw" would be different from other parts, but after just one bite, Qi Xia retched repeatedly.

This part is fatter than other parts. It tastes like a piece of snot with the taste of fat, and it is extremely fishy.

"Did the ancients really regard this thing as a delicacy?"
