Follow Taotie to eat meat [Traveling]

The little old man Zhi went out for a walk and gained a lot.

In addition to a few extra pieces of bamboo in the big backpack, I also found a lot of wild herbs in the fields.These small flowers and grasses that grow together with weeds and are trampled on by people on weekdays are not necessarily so rare, but they can be picked up, dried and ground into powder to take with you, and they can also come in handy at critical moments. Small uses—well, no matter if you meet a patient or an enemy, or just someone who doesn't like you, it's all very useful.

The Chinese who came and went saw the old man with a black charcoal head pouted and pulled out weeds. Except for the group led by the round-eyed and long-necked brothers who had been taught by him, they hurriedly avoided, and everyone else was very curious.After observing for a while, it didn't look like it was feeding cows and sheep, so I jumped up and asked the old man what it was for.

One of the old man's hobbies is to keep people talking, and he immediately became excited.Digging medicine science is not wrong, and introduced the efficacy of many herbs in detail, which stunned the people of One Arm Country, and looked at this thin and small black old man with respect.

In this world, although ordinary people will know some commonly used medicines for bruises, blood circulation and stasis through word of mouth, and some homemade prescriptions for headaches, brain fever and stomach pains, such detailed knowledge of herbal medicines belongs to the great witch. of.

A big witch with gray hair is not an ordinary weak old man, but means infinite wisdom.

One-armed country is not the closed mountain before, and I have seen many people coming and going, even Zhizhi looks like a big fool when he speaks, holding a bunch of small grass and wishing he could blow out "cures all diseases" As far as the effect is concerned, everyone can still tell how much dry goods are.Those who reacted quickly had just listened to the beginning, and then jumped to find the leader and elders. After a while, there were a few more listeners on the periphery of the crowd.

Unlike ordinary people who only listen to the excitement, they are people who really know more about medicinal herbs in the country, so they listened very carefully at the moment, and recorded it in some distorted words like earthworms while listening.Although Zhi introduced some common weeds, and the cures are also common problems, but he is very familiar with the properties and combinations of medicines, and even has many unheard of tips, which are rare experiences.

Although Yiarm Kingdom is not too far away from Wuxian Kingdom, and Wuxian Kingdom's medicine is famous all over the world, but great witches generally don't like to communicate with outsiders, and their medicines are even more mysterious, not as easy-talking as Zhizhi.

So when the little old man took enough medicine to his heart's content, straightened up and beat his waist to prepare to go back, he was solemnly thanked by the Chinese people.

A row of more than ten people held containers of different shapes with one arm, which contained various vegetables, fruits, rice and wheat, and some unknown stuff, and even a sheep and a piglet.The elder in charge of the medicine was full of smiles, and spoke carefully: "Listening to the words of the elder Zhi, I have benefited a lot, and I have been taught. This little gift is not a respect, but I hope to accept it..."

Before he could finish the scene, he saw the little old man pointing at the little black pig frantically: "Give it to me—go—"

"...cough cough cough, good." The elder's words were all aborted, and he touched his nose dejectedly, somewhat incomprehensible.

One arm country is not rich, so he couldn't come up with any rare gifts, so he gave them all food.In fact, the rarest thing here is this little piglet.The productivity of this world is not well developed, except for the occasional taming of monsters to help, cattle are a particularly important labor force in the fields, and generally they are not killed for meat.It is troublesome to feed pigs, and animals like sheep, which can grow meat if they are tethered to eat some grass, are the favorite animals in captivity.

Therefore, mutton is common, and pork is much less, and it is generally used in large occasions such as sacrifices.If it weren't for some nobles in the Husband Country who love this kind of black pork that makes minced meat very fragrant, the Yiarm Country would hardly know how to raise it.

I didn't expect the expert to be ungrateful.

The elder murmured in his heart, and tried to ask if it was taboo for seniors, or if eating pork was bad for health. After getting a negative answer, he became even more confused: "Don't look at this pig. The white and fat ones are different, in fact, they are really delicious, especially the cubs, the meat is fragrant and tender, made into minced meat and put into the porridge, it is delicious..."

"...Really?" The old man was a little moved.

"Really, this pig is rare, even the bones are black..." The elder introduced it wholeheartedly.

Black and black, isn't it just a little darker?What a surprise!Zhi Shua elongated his face: "No! Yes!"

That's called a categorical.

If Xiao Yan were here, he would probably feel rather regretful.He has never seen a pig with black bones. Isn't this like a silky chicken?Should make up for it...

But now, he half-hid in the back of the cubicle, hid the six tails tightly, poked his head to see the rows of Chinese people filing in, and put down a lot of fresh ingredients. He was still very happy.

The elder took Zhi to talk for a while about the special medicinal materials that are common in the local area but not commonly found in other places. He coaxed the old man to smile again, and he was relieved in his heart: "Then don't bother, let's leave first."

"Wow, rice, wheat, green beans, cucumber, what kind of food is this? Forget it... peaches, apricots, plums... so much to eat!" After the people left, Xiao Yan jumped out happily and took a careful look at the food The content sent, "Old Zhi, what have you done? Are you teaching people to entertain the gods?"

The old man was quite proud, and waved his hands pretendingly: "I've said it all, the old man walks around, and he is full of skills. How can he be so different! I think back then..."

"..." Xiao Yan silently lowered three black lines, and decided to change the subject, "Old man, what are you holding?"

"Hey, this one? Hey hey hey, it's a rare treasure I caught. It grows in a sycamore tree. It is said that it has a miraculous effect on nourishment. The old man is about to try it." Zhi bent down and lowered a small earthen pot with a baby face. After a while, he leaned in front of Xiao Yan.

Inside the sycamore tree...Xiao Yan was wondering if the old man had made a mistake. It should be a bird living on the tree. When he stretched his neck, he saw a few fat, white, round bugs: "..."

"How is it? Not bad? It is said that stewed meat soup is the best, hehe~" Zhi said with a face full of treasures.

"..." Xiao Yan pointed to a small earthen jar, "Grandpa, you always research various medicines, so let me give you a special earthen jar."

Please don't harm all pots and pans QAQ

With the dishes, Xiao Yan should start preparing after chatting with Zhi for a while.After being able to transform into a fox, it would be inconvenient to turn back into a fox. Fortunately, the old man has good hands-on skills, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves to help, and Xiao Yan only needed to use his mouth.

So Taotie carried a lot of prey on his shoulders, fantasizing happily about the stupid fox waiting for him to return, and specially found a one-armed Chinese who didn't have too many surprises, and rolled to the door like a gust of wind. At that time, I smelled a tempting smell of meat.

It is different from the aroma of the barbecue that I ate on the mountain, much richer, a little weird, but inexplicably attractive.As soon as he got closer, Taotie couldn't help swallowing his saliva.Hoho, what did the stupid fox eat again?

……wrong!

Taotie sucked in the saliva that was about to flow down, turned his head with difficulty, looked at the large pile of prey on his back, and fell silent.

Waiting for his return with hunger and hunger, sure enough, I think too much...

Listen, it's a joy inside.

"Ha~ Boss, it smells so good!" It was the voice of the snake.

"Here, let me give you a piece first." This is Xiao Yan's voice.

Taotie curled his lips, and could even imagine the stupid fox with his eyes squinted and his good temper, and his six long tails swaying behind him.The Nine-Tailed Fox, who is known for his sharp minions and violent temper, hangs around with some useless little monsters every day. What is his future?

——He will never admit that he feels a little sour in his heart.

"Hey, I said little fox, where did you come up with so many weird ideas? The old man has traveled all over the country for so long, and he has never seen such a delicate way of eating." This is the voice of Zhi saliva.

"... Heh, heh heh, I'm just thinking about nothing." The familiar, Taotie knew that he wasn't telling the truth.

But the old man couldn't hear it: "This roasting method is really delicious. The dishes are almost ready. Why hasn't your little friend come back? The old man can't wait for the meal... why don't you leave it alone for him?" One serving, let's start first? The food will be cold in a while."

Taotie's face turned slightly cold.Sure enough, he still hates undead people...

He couldn't even explain why he was so upset when he heard this.Is it because when you come back, you find that the situation is completely different from what you expected?Or, I think it's a bit stupid to rush out to find food for everyone...

Obviously, people don't need him as much as he imagined...

It is actually very common to leave some food for people who go out and return home late.But for Taotie who rushed to the door excitedly, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured into his head, and all the enthusiasm was completely extinguished all at once.

The young man who returned with a full load lowered his head slightly, his slightly long hair fell in front of him in a mess, and his profound facial features left a deep and shallow shadow on his face, covering the slight coldness in his eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, although I have always disliked Xiao Yan as stupid and weak, because of the spiritual treasure in his body, the awakening of demon power is indeed slow, and every time he grows his tail, he will die, but he is not really weak at all.

He has a good temper, good popularity, and excellent craftsmanship that he did not know where he learned. A bunch of monsters will follow him wholeheartedly, and even mountain gods will come all the way to find him.What's more, he still has a lot of spooky ideas, and he can make some small traps to catch and eat with one tail.There is still something very firm in his bones. When he was tied up in a small cave, he saw him practicing ambushes over and over again outside.

Such a nine-tailed fox doesn't need any help from himself.Maybe, in Xiao Yan's eyes, he is a big beast with a big appetite, always hungry, a big trouble that can't be driven away?

Thinking of the trembling eyes of other animals every time they leaned next to Xiao Yan, Taotie's eyes became colder.

Since he is not welcome, then there is no need for him to nest in a place full of human beings, and he cannot even be transformed into a prototype.If he was the only beast, would he still need to avoid the group of wizards riding on birds...

There was a fire in Taotie's heart, an urge to turn around and leave, and a violent spurt of flames to burn everything he could see.

Xiao Yan's voice came to his ears, obviously very close, but somewhat vaguely: "...Eh? Old man, are you hungry?"

"Hey, little fox, with the skill you taught, even if you just finished eating, you will be hungry immediately after smelling it." Zhi patted his belly exaggeratedly.

The snake moved a little uneasily, he didn't hear any noise, but why did he always feel chilly all over his body?

"Well, then...how about you eat first? That guy hurried out without saying where he was going, and he didn't know when he would be back." Xiao Yan felt that it was not good for an old man to starve.

Boom—As if a raging fire was ignited in his mind, Taotie clenched his fingers tightly.really……

"What about you?" Chi heard the subtle meaning in it.

"I don't seem to be very hungry, let's eat together when he comes back. That guy has a good appetite, and eating with him is delicious." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Others don't know, but he knows it very well. The little tiger looks big-hearted, and he is arrogant in his bones.If I had to finish eating all behind his back, I might make a fuss when I came back.Forget it, my brother, get used to it.

Xiao Yan thought with relief, and knowing that going out to help everyone find food is already a big improvement.

Taotie, who tried his best to restrain the urge to breathe fire and wanted to turn around and leave, turned around suddenly, and couldn't believe his ears.What did he... hear?

"Tsk..." Chi pouted depressingly.

"Come, come, I'll serve you a portion first." Zhi was grilling lamb chops, and Xiao Yan hugged a big rice bowl with his front paws, ready to start.

"Don't, don't, don't, the old man will wait a little longer, it seems...he's not that hungry anymore." Zhi Zhi is not really as poor as some nobles who pay attention to etiquette, but is very interested in Taotie, and wants more sets. .

There is no way, this nine-tailed fox is too strict-tongued. Just now, he was slapped on the sidelines for a long time, but he was killed: "I want to know what breed he is? Then you have to ask him yourself - I can't decide to tell you~"

Xiao Yan, who came here through time travel, attaches great importance to the privacy of others!

The little old man was tempted by the cumin lamb chops in front of him, and his stomach growled, so he had to try his best to divert his attention: "Oh, what kind of egg is this? It even rolled into the fire and roasted it..."

Squeak—the door that was just repaired was gently pushed open.

When Xiao Yan raised his head, he was startled by the prey that was full of Taotie's body, and then he grinned: "Huh——you're back? Just in time, we're about to eat, huh, I'm almost starving to death, if you don't come back, we'll eat them all." It's all gone—well, this may not be enough for you, quickly unload the prey on your back, and I'll see if I can do something else..."

The light came in from outside the door, the round white fur fox bent its eyes and grinned, and its six big tails dangled happily behind it.Obviously, I am very happy with Taotie's return.

The handsome and unruly young man stood against the light, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the only fox in the world, his eyes suddenly became tender.
