Demon King's Bather

Chapter 16 Self-reliance 5

After a while, the big black cat was dragged into the cave by the big yellow cat.

"Let's have breakfast first, and we'll talk after eating." Facing the always serious big black cat, Yu Chunlai was not so relaxed. For some reason, he always felt that the big black cat was very similar to their junior high school dean, always serious Face, with an expression of "If you dare to play truant, you will die".

The staple food in the morning is gnocchi made of bone soup boiled by the bonfire last night. Yu Chunlai chopped dandelions and other wild vegetables sent by the little demons and sprinkled them in. With just a little salt, it was very delicious. The bone soup was simmered on a low fire all night, and Yu Chunlai added some processed meat skin into it. The gelatin of the meat skin melted into the bone soup, giving off a strong aroma.

Of course, eating bone soup and noodles is not enough. In the middle, Yu Chunlai used an iron plate as a frying pan, used the wild eggs they brought back yesterday with yellow skins, added some flour, baked some egg pancakes, and rolled them into thin pancakes. Sliced ​​braised pork, such a rare delicacy in Dahuangshan, even the expression of the big black cat eased a lot.

"I heard from Ah Huang that you want to buy something and go up the mountain?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiaohei, look, there is nothing in our cave, and we didn't bring much when we came. Life is very inconvenient. I want to ask the brothers who went out to buy something to help you buy something. By the way, I can Pay more for your hard work..." Yu Chun said and took out a small bag of gold coins.

These gold coins, needless to say, were of course Huang Pi asked him to exchange them back then. They said they were gold coins, but they were actually very delicate commemorative coins mixed with some gold. kind.

Sure enough, seeing these exquisitely carved gold coins, the face of the big black cat improved a few shades: "You keep these gold coins first, the old rule in our mountains is to bring things up, and then take the money or the prey to go." changed."

There is no way to do this. The journey is long, and there will always be some wear and tear on the way. If the deposit is not brought up, or the things are lost in the middle, it is not good. They simply pay in advance every time. When things go up the mountain, everyone will choose what they want.

The life of the monsters is simple, and most of the daily necessities are self-sufficient. They need to buy from the bottom of the mountain, nothing more than rice, white flour, coarse salt, and cloth. It can be said that before Yu Chun came, many monsters here, I haven't even smelled the seasoning, so naturally I don't know how to use it.

Knowing that the goods/delivery/payment/payment can be made, Yu Chunlai feels relieved a lot. Although he will not renege on his debts, if the purchase is too bad, he will still have to return it.

After discussing what to buy, Yu Chunlai had just sent the black and yellow two out of the house when he saw a few little monsters poking around outside the door. They were the ones who came to trade for food yesterday.

Seemingly afraid of the black and yellow, seeing them coming out together, these little monsters hid behind a big rock.

"...You are kind." The big black cat gave Yu Chunlai a complicated look, and left with the big yellow cat.

"Don't hide, they're gone, come out quickly." Yu Chunlai walked behind the big rock, saw the terrified faces of a few little monsters, and immediately felt mixed feelings in his heart.

The law of the jungle preys on the strong, is this the Great Barren Mountain?

I don't know how his mother Bai Zhi survived here?Could it be that, like these little demons, they grew up picking up garbage and eating?

"Let's go, let's go eat something first." Yu Chunlai took a few little monsters to the yard, but they couldn't take them anymore, they didn't dare to go in at all.

"The mountain spring inside belongs to that big monster. You can't go in, or you will be eaten!" A little monster with a pair of pointed ears who couldn't recognize what kind of monster trembled.

"...Okay then, I'll bring out the food, and you can eat in this yard."

Yu Chunlai walked in, and quickly came out with food, which was the bone soup reserved in advance, as well as noodle pancakes and iron plate barbecue.

"Today, I didn't find any edible meat and bones. Are these grasses okay?" The little demons took off the animal skin bags on their backs, opened them, and found all kinds of mixed grasses and edible wild vegetables inside. negligible.

"Yes, but these are not enough. After dinner, if you have nothing to do, you can help my house with work, so that you can get food in exchange." Yu Chunlai accepted the grass without changing his face, and prepared to feed it to the chickens later .

Of the dozen or so pheasants that Huang Pi and the others brought back yesterday, the dead ones were used for cooking today, and Yu Chunlai kept the ones that didn’t die. The eggs were eaten.

After the meal, Yu Chunlai was not polite to them, and after briefly explaining what to do, he sent these little demons to help him wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.

At this time, Yu Chunlai learned during the chat that among these little monsters, the one with a pair of pointed ears was a pure white wolf cub, probably because the fur color was different from other little wolf cubs when it was born. , so he was abandoned by the wolves, but this little wolf cub was lucky, when he was thrown out, he happened to be thrown in the "garbage dump", so he was taken back and raised by a civet who came here to pick up garbage and eat .

Later, when the old civet went out to look for food, he never came back. This kind of thing happened almost every day in the Great Barren Mountain. After being sad for several days, the little white wolf took the two younger civet cubs and started Picking up rubbish in Dahuangshan for a living.

"So, you are the eldest brother, that one is the second brother, and the youngest is the third brother?" Yu Chunlai looked at the three cubs, thinking that no wonder they look different, because they are not of the same race.

"No...that's the third sister." Pursing his lips, the little white wolf looked at the obedient cubs who were washing dishes next to him with a complicated expression.

"The female cubs in the Great Barren Mountain are more dangerous than the males..." the older civet brother sighed.

"I'm here for the first time, can you tell me what's going on? Why are females more dangerous than males?"

"Hehe... what else could be the reason? The Great Barren Mountain is close to Xuantian Sect, the largest cultivation sect in the northern continent. Every three years, disciples from the sect come to the mountain to capture and domesticate monsters. Most of the male monsters are brought back and domesticated into mounts, and the female ...Of course there are other uses."

"Those human monks like to raise female monsters as a cauldron for harvesting..."

Hearing these calm words, Yu Chunlai's hairs almost stood on end!

Thinking of the little civet that is not as tall as his thigh, it is very likely that those monks will catch it back at some point, and then raise it into a cauldron for harvesting, and it will run out of oil at some point... Yu Chunlai felt that the whole body It was as cold as being thrown into an ice hole!

After a long while, he managed to regain his sanity and looked at the little white wolf——

"Could it be that your king doesn't care about it? This is his territory after all."

With such a stingy personality like Ye Zhan, how could he allow human monks to hunt freely on his own territory?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty can't control all the big and small monsters in the Great Barren Mountain. Besides, many big monsters in our Great Barren Mountain will still go to the mortal world to hunt monks for nourishment. But it doesn't matter. When we work hard to become big monsters, There will be no mortal monks who can arrest us at will!" Looking at his young sister, the little white wolf's eyes burst out with a gleam of hope.

Wolves are the most vengeful animals!

From the moment he was abandoned by his own clan and parents, the wolves were no longer his destination.

Now, his family only has these two civets who are younger than him. In order to protect his younger brother from being caught as a pet by the monks, and to protect his younger sister from being a human cauldron, he must grow up as soon as possible!Become the most powerful big monster in this Great Barren Mountain!

Before that, feeding the whole family is the most difficult task that Little White Wolf is currently facing.

Originally, the little white wolf planned to take the risk of hunting a mountain deer or boar before winter came, but Yu Chunlai's appearance saved him from a hunt that might cost his life.

A young wolf who has not yet grown up, and has not even been trained in hunting by wolves, is undoubtedly close to death if he ventures to hunt wild boars.

Fortunately, before winter came, they met Yu Chunlai.

"I heard that the shops at the foot of the mountain will hire workers to help with the work. Boss Yu, if you are too busy, can you hire me?" Looking at Yu Chunlai, the white wolf asked softly.

Yu Chunlai was stunned for a while, then smiled——

"Okay, it happens that there are still a few handymen in the store. You brothers and sisters can help out. Three meals a day are included, and there is still some monthly money. It may not be too much. Would you like to come?"
