Follow Taotie to eat meat [Traveling]

An unexpected turning point made the scene fall into silence for a while.

The little old man Zhi scratched his head with a stick of charcoal, immediately leaving a thick, black and glaring mark on his gray hair.But he didn't notice it, and squeezed out a "sorrow" awkwardly.

The gluttonous reaction is even more obvious.He has always disliked that being close to the crowd will limit the power of demons. Before, he mostly wandered around the mountains, and basically didn't mix in human territory. Where has he seen the ups and downs of humans, and the contrasting way of speaking?The goatee boasted about his partner's good craftsmanship and was wandering in his mind. Suddenly, a large basin of cold water was poured on his face, and the whole beast was shocked from head to toe.

Feeling sorry for missing out on some food you've never heard of?It doesn't seem quite like it, but it's a bit hard to say what it is exactly...

Xiao Yan had been pretending that he was an ordinary fox, so it was not easy to speak rashly at this moment, and he was not good at comforting others, so after looking at Tao Tie, he could only continue to grab the other's arm silently, but he didn't have the heart to look around up.

Fortunately, the people in One Arm Country knew the situation of the old man with the goatee very well, and they comforted him one after another.The two who pointed at Zhizhi and laughed at him before were the first to speak.

"Okay, Elder Liuzhi, don't mention the past. Anyway, you are very happy together, isn't it?" The person who spoke had one round eye and opened it wide.

When Xiao Yan heard this address, he paid attention to the goatee's hand.It was found that there was a small fork on his little finger, which was really "six fingers".

The other man's neck was slenderer than others, with a round face like a potato, and he was a bit childish, bluffing: "Yes, yes, elder, everyone is gone. It's useless to think about it all the time, it's better to have a good meal and sleep... Ouch! Why are you hitting me again, Yuanyan?"

"Shut up, you idiot!" Yuanyuanyan slapped him hard on the head, with a very sad expression, and apologized to the goatee, "Elder, don't worry about the long-necked nonsense. Do I have a meal at home? Yesterday, my mother picked a bunch of sunflowers, and she was still talking about your favorite food."

The goatee shook his head, and returned to his smiling face: "Okay, okay, you must try the sunflower vegetables made by your mother...Young master long neck, you are still young, wait until you find it Mate, I wouldn't say that..."

Taotie was feeling awkward, feeling uncomfortable no matter what. Hearing Goatee's words, he suddenly glanced at the round eyes and long neck sitting on a horse: "Aren't they... partners?"

"Pfft—" The round eyes and slender neck sprayed out at the same time.

"Who is his partner? Even if I am blind, I will not find a partner who knocks me on the head for nothing!" The slender neck flushed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he received another blow on the head: "Who made you always talk and act without thinking? How can I have such a stupid brother like you?"

Long Neck was beaten again and again, and he stopped immediately. Taking advantage of his brother's one arm, he grabbed the rein again, stretched his arm to the side, and grabbed Yuanyan's neck and shook it: "You have the nerve to say? Having said that, it must be because you knocked too much when you were a child! Don’t think I don’t remember how you knocked my head while grabbing my food..."

Yuanyan was pinched so hard to breathe: "Long-neck-you loosen-hands... Cough cough cough... Is the brat itchy again? You will wait and see for me later!"

These two are also probably used to pinching each other, and the people around them are not surprised, and those who ride with their partners all laugh and watch the two little kids making a fuss.A woman also took out a long, thin bottle that was visually made of clay, pulled out the cork wrapped in some cloth, and fed some water into the mouth of the man holding the reins.

The goatee and six fingers smiled: "In our country, it's not uncommon for men and women to form partners, but Round Eyes and Long Neck are two brothers, and they haven't found their own partners yet. They're just hunting together temporarily."

"Elder, young master, are you back?" Just as they were talking, the speed of the horse gradually slowed down, and the number of people began to increase, and someone greeted the returning group.

Since there are fewer prey on the mountain now, there are even fewer animals that appear during the day. Goatee and his party actually went up the mountain at night. They only met Xiao Yan and the others in the early morning, but they had already received some goods.

Handing the prey on the horse to the visitor, Goat Hu smiled and introduced Tao Tie and his party: "This is the guest who is going to the husband's country, let's arrange a place for them to live."

After Zhi Lao's unremitting fooling all the way, Goatee has no doubts about Xiao Yan and his party. Although Taotie kicked all of them in front of him, he was drugged first by himself, so it can be regarded as not acquaintance.

This uncle is quite shrewd, the one-armed country is not far from the husband's country, and caravans often stop here for supplies, and they need common spirit stones for board and lodging.Although there are only two people on the other side this time, it is said that they are following a large army. If they treat each other well and establish a good relationship, wouldn't they be able to increase their income?

Thinking of this, he waved his hands proudly: "I want to be the best!"

"Come on—" one person responded, "You two, come with me."

As he said that, he hopped high on one leg, and jumped to a row of houses to the west with a tom, tom, tom.

Taotie got off his horse, hugged Xiao Yan and followed.Zhi stuffed things into the bag indiscriminately, and the big white egg was also stuffed in, holding the skinny fish and the parrot in his arms, and hurriedly followed.Hua Snake just woke up, and didn't know what happened: "Ha~ Boss, wait for me—"

The person who led the way looked back at Hua Snake with some curiosity: "Eh? It can talk, is this... a monster?"

"Haha, don't worry, it doesn't hurt people." Zhibei smiled.

The man didn't care about this: "Then you have to pay attention to these things in normal times. Some people here like to raise monsters, and many of them have been lost recently."

Although most of the monsters live freely in the mountains, there are also a few who are willing to get close to people, and some are captured and raised by humans.The former is okay, if you meet a good person, you will sincerely take them as your companions.The latter is worse. People either take a fancy to their special skills and enclose them as special labor, or because they want to show off, raising a monster is cool, and they think it is cute for a while, so they keep it as a pet. , and even more just love to eat monster meat.

Zhi Zhi was afraid that Taotie and Xiao Yan would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly responded: "Okay, okay, we will pay attention."

"Then you all stay here first, and you can come to me if you have anything to do. I usually hang around nearby." The man pointed to a big house for Xiao Yan and his party, and explained some bits and pieces of precautions. Jump away.

Xiao Yan was bored all the way, and finally he was able to speak, he shook his big tail, and couldn't wait to crawl out from Taotie's arms, landed on the ground, and entered the house quickly: "Wow, you can already use earth to build houses here. Hey."

As seen from a distance, the standard of living in One Arm Country is much higher than that of the mountain tribes seen before.

For example, in the house in front of me, the surface of the earthen wall is smooth, and a layer of grass ash has been carefully applied. This is a very classic board wall.A long groove is sandwiched between two wooden boards, and filled with soil. In Xiao Yan's original world, this kind of wall has been passed down from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to before Xiao Yan crossed. When reinforced concrete was popular, there were still remote mountain villages. The house is built in such a rustic way.

Compared with the simple wooden houses seen from afar, this looks more like a house, and Xiao Yan immediately felt more friendly.

There are also functional classifications in the house, and several rooms are roughly divided.The place with a simple earthen stove and several large and small earthen pots is probably equivalent to a kitchen.The slightly larger room has a few tree stumps covered with fur that is about to be bald, where you can sit and rest.Furthermore, there are three small compartments, which are built with soil slightly higher than the ground, and also covered with bald fur.

It can also be seen from the simple configuration that the life of One Arm Country is not considered prosperous.There is no obvious gap between rich and poor here. The so-called country is more like a large settlement. Some people have already started planting, and some cattle and sheep are raised in captivity. They are all publicly owned and not enough for the people of the country to consume. A group of people are sent out to hunt every day. .

Men, women and children go into battle together in this hunt, even Goatee, the son of the elder and chief, has round eyes and a long neck.

Xiao Yan really likes the relaxed atmosphere here.

Now, however, his attention was drawn to something small in the kitchen.

In fact, Xiao Yan was not an avid foodie before traveling. Although he would definitely try local special snacks when traveling, he would go to a new store near the company’s residence on weekdays, but he returned to his residence after working overtime. Soaking instant noodles can also be enjoyable.But anyway, he was born in Huaguo, where the food culture is extremely developed. Once he travels to the mountains where he needs to drink blood, the gap is too big. If he doesn't think about what to eat, Xiao Yan feels that he will die of depression.

In addition, there is a gluttonous gluttonous eater who eats a lot and is picky, which directly formed Xiao Yan's habit of looking for food at the first time wherever he went.

And now, look what he found in the crock!Rice and wheat!

Although it is located in the west, this world is full of rain, and it can even grow rice!What's more, I didn't expect that the people of One Arm Country have already mastered the technology of shelling. Although it is still a little rough, it is not easy, right?

The little fox almost burst into tears with excitement. One paw was on the mouth of the big jar, and the other paw was desperately poking down. The six tails were all wagging with joy.

Taotie strode forward, picked up the stupid fox that almost fell into the jar, peeked inside, curled his lips disinterestedly: "What is this? Grass seeds? Why are you so excited?"

a stranger.Xiao Yan raised his head proudly: "Just wait, I will surprise you."

It was probably too pleasantly surprised. When I was excited, I really felt a little hungry. Xiao Yan struggled and jumped down to cook.

The tip of the fluffy tail swept Taotie's neck excitedly, and the handsome young man felt a little uncomfortable again.He looked at the stupid fox with shining eyes, and was about to put him down, but suddenly found that Xiao Yan's limbs kicking on him were still too soft to exert any strength, so he changed his mind somehow: "Aren't you Did you just grow your tail? Don’t worry about it, I’ll go outside and get some back.”

"...Eh? It's okay, I'll do it myself, and I can eat whatever I want, but I'm so hungry—" Xiao Yan thought excitedly that Taotie, a complete meat eater, wouldn't like white rice, but instead You can try to make more tricks, but the people of One Arm Country will definitely not work.

Taotie frowned slightly: "No, you can sleep first before talking about it."

"...?" Xiao Yan looked at him suspiciously, did this guy take the wrong medicine again?Don't you usually get excited when you hear your own barbecue?Could it be that he really doesn't want to see these "grass seeds" in his eyes so much, so he tries his best to avoid doing them by himself?

Seen by the stupid fox's slightly puzzled eyes, Taotie's face was slightly troubled.I wanted to say fiercely that you just grew your tail and you were restless and lying quietly, but then you thought that you were still urging the other party to barbecue before, and you suddenly felt even more uncomfortable: "Then what, didn't the bearded human say that?" , people in their country cook and eat well, wouldn’t it be a loss if you don’t try it?”

"..." Xiao Yan tilted his head, conscious of the truth, "Well, you have no conscience, you have not tasted other delicacies, and you despise my craftsmanship?"

"No!" If it was the original Taotie, he would probably be furious by now, how could he mean it?How could he... despise the stupid fox?

Rare is too late.

"I said..." The little old man Zhi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted the two inexplicable bickering.

Taotie and Xiao Yan turned their heads together and looked at the old man.

Zhi sighed, and spread his hands: "This arm country looks poor, haha, we live in other people's houses, so I'm sorry to eat anymore, right? Didn't you see that the merchants living here are exchanging spirit stones with them? What’s more, we can’t just eat this little rice and wheat, right? There must be some other food, and it’s not close to the mountains, and it’s not convenient to hunt by ourselves, so what we need most now is…”

Taotie had no concept of buying things with spirit stones, so he looked at a loss.However, Xiao Yan immediately understood what Zhi Lao meant: "... Lingshi!"

Xiao Yan didn't know much about the common currency here, but he saw a few of them just now, and they all exchanged small stones of different sizes and colors with One Arm Country. It must be the spirit stone that Zhi Lao said.

Elder Zhi sighed again: "Then here comes the problem. The little old man walks in the world relying on his own ability, and has never been in the habit of carrying spirit stones. You two...have any? It doesn't matter if it's not a spirit stone, it doesn't matter if it's a spirit stone. Things can be changed, and they can be exchanged for spirit stones."

Taotie and Xiao Yan were stunned.

Xiao Yan originally still had a few rock spirit insect stones, which were not as weak as the spirit stones exchanged here, and they were definitely priceless treasures.Nai He was taken away from the mountain too suddenly by Gu and Qin, and never came out at all.

So he couldn't help but look at Taotie together with Zhi.Zhizhi didn't know his identity yet, but Xiao Yan knew it clearly. Gluttonous, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, fierce beasts, they must have accumulated some treasures, right?Just take out a little bit and it will shock the world, right?

Taotie was furious again under the expectant eyes of the two: "How can I have a spirit stone, how can I have an object with aura? If you encounter Quan Tun, please eat it in your stomach?"

Xiao Yan and Zhi: "..." It makes sense.

Xiao Yan shook his tail, and asked Zhi with little expectation: "Mr. Zhi, what do you mean by the ability of a person?"

Is it possible to bring them a few more substantial meals?

The little old man scratched his cheeks and looked up at the sky: "On the mountain, just grab a pheasant. Where there are people, let them buy some medicine or something... Well, don't look at me like that, the medicine powder was almost scattered when I was running last night. In order to teach those two stinky boys with long neck and round eyes, I used up the last bit."

Xiao Yan: "..."

Well, get over the excitement of seeing rice and wheat.Xiao Yan suddenly realized that for the next few days, they might have to eat only these rice and wheat that were still ground with chaff.

The long six tails drooped immediately, looking sadly at the rice vat, then at the glutton with a big appetite, as well as wisdom and snakes, skinny fish, and parrots, a sense of desolation that a clever woman can hardly live without rice .

Taotie didn't know what the stupid fox was worrying about, so he rubbed him: "Then I won't exchange food with them, I'll go find something to eat."

"It's hard to find food here..." Chi tried to stop him.

"Old man, it's hard to find for you, but not for me." Taotie raised his chin high.

Even in human form, his speed is not comparable to that of ordinary monsters. Isn't it easy to run to a distant mountain to find something to eat?

Taking a glance at the stupid fox who was staring at him eagerly from the corner of the eye, Taotie felt even more proud.Look, the stupid fox just can't do without him, and now a large group of them have to rely on him to support them!

Immediately, a sense of responsibility as the head of the family arose, and he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he was inexplicably proud: "You wait!"
