Nanxi Village is located on the shady side of the frosty mountains, where there are few trees, jagged rocks, inconvenient mountain roads and few people.If he hadn't met a soul-inducing person in the secret realm, Su Qingya might have lived in Qingxi Valley for the rest of his life, and would never have discovered such a village here.

The village is not big, located in a mountain depression in the shade of the mountain.There is not a single brick house in the whole village, most of them are old mud cottages and a few thatched houses.

The strange thing is that there is not a single villager in the village, and there are few poultry in the cottages. The whole village is as silent as a dead city.

Going further in, Su Qingya and Lu Ye saw a few children at the intersection of Sancha: they were pale and thin, and when they saw Su Qingya approaching with a sugar ball, they rushed away.

"...?"

Children are obviously the most difficult to resist the temptation of candy, even if the family education is extremely strict, they will not escape in such a neat way.Su Qingya glanced at Lu Ye, and Lu Ye lowered his voice and said:

"This village is weird, let's go in carefully and have a look."

Going forward, you will arrive at the small square in the village, where the villagers gather here to go to the market and go to the street on weekdays. There are a few thatched sheds in the square, and some farm tools are sold.There was no one in several stalls, only a butcher sharpening his knife boredly.

"Boss, may I ask..."

"Ouch!!!" The butcher was startled by Su Qingya's voice and almost cut off his own hand. When he looked up and saw the two strangers, the expression on his face was disgusted: "What are you doing?!"

"Don't do anything," Lu Ye smiled and pulled Su Qingya behind him, squinting at the butcher arrogantly, "I wanted to buy two pieces of meat from you, but I don't want to now, oh...Qingya, I see Let's spend these two middle-grade spirit stones elsewhere."

Su Qingya smiled, followed Lu Ye cooperatively and turned away.

The butcher was stunned for a moment, dropped the knife with a bang, rushed out, and stopped them with a smirk: "Two, two, don't go, don't go! It was my fault just now, I... isn't this All the people in the village are going to worship the goddess, have you been frightened when you come up suddenly?"

Worship the goddess?

After Su Qingya exchanged a glance with Lu Ye, he turned around with a smile and walked back to his stall with the butcher.

After seeing that the butcher's stall was either dark red and black lean meat or fat meat that had been put on for several days, Su Qingya frowned slightly: He had been hanging out in the vegetable market and night market since he was a child, and he saw that the butcher's business was not good. Very good.

But how?

Normally, in a village, a butcher is a rare job, and his butcher shop should also be the most profitable place.For example, Zheng Tu in "Water Margin" can even become a local tyrant and bring a few apprentices.

No matter how you look at the butcher in front of you, life is not going well.

So Su Qingya picked among the few pieces of meat, and chatted with the butcher in a familiar way. At first, the butcher was very wary, but later he explained it to Su Qingya like bitter water:

"You don't know! Originally, I was just a small business, barely earning a living in the village. But after the goddess came, the villagers gradually stopped eating meat, and recently they even made a fuss about not eating! This trouble Yes! You see—"

As the butcher said, he pulled out a wooden barrel from under his desk, and when the lid was opened, it was full of marinated bacon.

"My meat can't be sold every day, so I can only make it into jerky and sausages, and I have to worry about them getting moldy and smelly. The life can't go on, so my husband took his son back to his mother's house."

The butcher sighed, shook his head and said, "If I really can't hold on, I can only leave the village and go to my daughter-in-law's house to see the face of my father-in-law..."

The butcher cursed and said a few more words, but when asked about the goddess, he didn't mention a word, and his mouth was as strict as a clam shell.There was no other way, Su Qingya had no choice but to give him a middle-grade spirit stone, and bought him a few pieces of bacon that was not bad.

Leaving the butcher behind, Su Qingya and Lu Ye continued to walk forward, and saw a simple tea shed at another exit of the village.

Not far from the tea shed is the villagers' fields. It is a good time for autumn harvest, but all kinds of crops in the field are still falling on the ground: plump corn and golden rice, which are so cheap for the nearby sparrows, For squirrels, the ridges that used to be neat and orderly have become a mess now.

If they don't eat meat and don't care about food, the village is probably bewitched by evil spirits.

Su Qingya walked towards the tea stall with a serious face, and there was only one fell asleep guy at the stall.The little guy looked young, with long hands and long legs but skinny, and patted him on the shoulder. The little guy woke up with a start, saw two strangers, forced a smile on his face, and said weakly:

"Both, would you like... a bowl of tea?"

Su Qingya nodded, and pulled Lu Ye to sit down, pretending not to see the young man's wobbly body.He casually asked the young man: "Brother, we have walked all the way, why is there no one in this village, have they all gone out?"

"Today is the fasting day," the young man brought tea, and his attitude was quite attentive, but he obviously didn't want to talk about this topic: "Everyone in the village has gone to the mountain to worship the goddess. You two are passing by here. If there is nothing wrong, It's better to leave earlier."

"What?" Lu Ye jokingly said, "The tea doctor next to him wants the guests to drink more and stay for a long time, but brother, you have money and don't make money, so you want to drive us away?"

The boy's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips: "I, I didn't mean that."

"There is no one in the left and right villages, and the boss is not here," Su Qingya took the waiter's hand: "Brother, why don't you sit down and have a few words with us."

The buddy seemed to be scalded, and immediately shook off Su Qingya's hand, and took a trembling step back: "Small, I dare not..."

"..." Su Qingya rubbed his sore palms, blinked at the boy and dragged his voice innocently: "Brother—sit down and talk to us—"

Su Qingya was born with a delicate face and big eyes that are very flattering.

Now that he made such a pitiful appearance, even the Lord Mojun next to him was completely bewildered, let alone an ordinary tea shop clerk.Without saying a word, the young man just sat down with a blushing face and was stupefied, not knowing what to do.

"Actually, we were entrusted by someone to come to the village to find someone," Su Qingya said, saying the old man's name, and then tricked the young man by making up a lie: "He was injured outside, and we asked us to bring the medicinal materials. After coming back, we didn’t meet anyone in the village, so I wanted to ask you, little brother.”

Unexpectedly, after the guy heard the old man's name, he suddenly stood up with a strange cry and knocked over the entire tea table.

"You, you guys, go away—!" The boy seemed to be a different person, very rudely pushed Su Qingya and the others out of the tea shop, then stood at the door and picked up the tongs to drive them away fiercely: "Don't, don't come to our village again! We , We do not welcome you!"

"Then, let her die, please! Go away! Don't come back!"

Don't look at the young man as thin as a stick, and his voice is weak, but such an extreme reaction made Su Qingya and Lu Ye take two steps back.

There was no door to the tea shop, and after a few curses, the young man turned his head angrily and hid in the back kitchen.

Su Qingya and Lu Ye looked at each other, vaguely guessing the status of the old man and his daughter in the village - although the tea shop guy didn't tell them where the old man was, but combined with the attitude of the butcher and the little brother, they quickly found the village There are two thatched huts on the outermost periphery.

A lot of fetid chicken droppings were splashed on the ground outside the house, and there were still many dried black and red blood stains on the wooden fence door.

Lu Ye frowned, and said softly, "It's black blood."

"Then it seems that their family is really unwelcome in Nanxi Village." Su Qingya pushed open the courtyard door, and the courtyard was full of rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes. No.

"Is anyone there?" Su Qingya called out.

The room was quiet and no one responded. Looking back at Lu Ye, Su Qingya went up and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened as soon as it was knocked, and there was an unpleasant smell coming from the room, as if someone was vomiting continuously. The sour water poured from the stomach from time to time.

It was dark inside and I couldn't see anything, but I could barely hear a woman coughing.

"...Girl?" Su Qingya covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and asked tentatively.

The coughing sound stopped for a moment, followed by the sound of "boom", and then a girl with sallow complexion and withered gray hair crawled out of the back room rustlingly. Unconcious.

It didn't matter who it was, the girl babbled wildly: "I've lost weight, and I haven't eaten, I, I'm not a curse..."

"Girl, we are entrusted by your father to deliver medicine to you." Su Qingya squatted down, trying to help the girl up.

But as soon as the girl heard the word father, she pushed Su Qingya away like crazy. If she didn't have the strength, Su Qingya would be overthrown to the ground.

"What father! I don't have a father! Go! Go away!"

"I don't want him to care! I don't want to take any medicine! Let me go—!"

She struggled twice, but she lost all strength and passed out.

Su Qingya frowned, and Lu Ye conjured up two lamps without his instructions, so that Su Qingya and him could help the girl in together.The back room was a mess, with dried vomit everywhere, and cockroaches running across the ground.

For conscientious dining, Su Qingya couldn't bear this kind of mess the most, so she asked Lu Ye to help clean up the whole house.After helping the girl to lie down on the bed, Su Qingya said: "This village is full of weirdness, everyone is obviously hungry and skinny, but they still don't eat, they don't collect the grain in the field, and they can't sell the meat in the butcher shop. "

"This girl is even more so. She is so hungry that she keeps saying that she doesn't eat. Are all of them dying?"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the 'goddess'." Lu Ye said softly.

"Forget it," Su Qingya got up, and pointed to the kitchen behind: "I'll borrow her kitchen to get her something to eat, if she doesn't eat anything, she will really starve to death."

Lu Ye nodded, and in a short while he heard Su Qingya's desperate cry, telling him to hurry over and help.

It turned out that the kitchen of this girl’s house was even more horrible. The food on the table had become moldy and black, and the ground was covered with sticky vomit and mouse feces. All the materials are covered with spider webs.

And the only rice vat that can be seen, when it is opened, there is thick dust and moths flying out.

Su Qingya: ...

Lu Ye: ...

Suppressing the nausea and exiting, Su Qingya cooked a bowl of porridge for the girl with the pot and ingredients he brought, and then fed the girl a little bit.It can be seen that the situation in the girl's house is the same as that in the village. It's not that there is no rice or food in the family, but it's because the rice and food are abundant, but she wants to starve herself.

Not only do not eat, and even prepare to starve themselves to death.

Hearing from the butcher that today is the day of fasting, everyone in the village went to worship the goddess, and Zhu Huai also mentioned the "goddess" in the secret realm of Donglingyuan before he died. Su Qingya guessed that - all kinds of strange conditions in the village, even the old man's daughter Diseases are all related to this "goddess".

When the girl gradually woke up and saw that Su Qingya and Lu Ye hadn't left, she was also taken aback.

Immediately after seeing the porridge bowl next to her, she was struck by lightning, and before Su Qingya could speak, she pointed at the porridge bowl and shook it like chaff: "You, you... gave me something to eat?"

Su Qingya and Lu Ye, who don't know the situation, nod or no nod.

"You guys! How can you give me something to eat!" The girl was obviously so hungry, but she still poked her throat with her finger, insisting on spitting out the porridge. She retched and chased Su Qingya and Lu Ye: " I don't want you to be nosy! You go!"

"You tell that old man too! I don't want him to care! As long as I persist, the villagers will forgive me! I will get the blessing of the goddess!"

As she said that, she didn't know where the power came from, the girl pushed Su Qingya and Lu Ye out of the house by herself.

Su Qingya is speechless: ...

Lu Ye was expressionless: "It seems that the food you cook is really delicious, half a bowl can give a dying person strength."

These words made Su Qingya roll her eyes quite a bit, and her voice was flat and flat: "I'm waiting for rainbow farts, let's blow them later when new dishes are promoted."

Rainbow fart? ? ?

Lu Ye was dumbfounded, but seeing that Su Qingya was not very happy, he tactfully did not continue to mention it.But Su Qingya thought about it, and decided to go and see the so-called Goddess——

He and Lu Ye followed the sound of people, and saw a huge crowd on the top of the mountain not far from Nanxi Village.The crowd all knelt behind a huge stone, and on the stone sat a very beautiful woman.

The woman was covered in blue, she looked like a fairy, she was chanting words, and the light blue light was lingering around her.

The villagers were as thin as sticks, but looked at this "Goddess" with tears streaming down their faces, hoping to get the "God's blessing", and kowtowed one after another: "Master Goddess, we have obeyed your words and have fasted for several days. There is no one in the village." Fat star, please spread blessings for us."

Clinker, the goddess still closed her eyes and shook her head at the crowd. The villagers looked at each other in panic, and after a while they accused each other—"I knew you ate chicken legs last night!", "Obviously your daughter is hungry. You let her eat sugar cake!", "Why do you still have food in your house!"

……

The villagers who were kneeling together suddenly started quarreling at this moment, blaming each other and shirking responsibility, thinking that it was the other party stealing food that made the "goddess" unwilling to give them blessings.

Regardless of whether the "goddess" can really bring blessings, but seeing the villagers' so dull appearance, Su Qingya has a care in his heart——

There is no "hungry food" in this world that cannot be cleaned up with a good meal.

If so, just two meals.

Coincidentally, he wanted to come and try his new pot—whether the "Soul Refining Cauldron" is good or not, and there happened to be a kung fu dish, which would have been stewed for two or three hours in an ordinary casserole or iron pot. But with the Soul Refining Cauldron, the time can be shortened, and it can also provide guarantee for mass production in the future.

The phoenix fetus that Su Qingya wants to make is not really using phoenix as ingredients.

Although he could do the immoral thing of letting the devil eat his own mount, he would not really ask Lu Ye to hunt a phoenix as a dish.The name Phoenix Fetus is also an arty work, and the original vulgar thing-fish white is made into a dish that can be elegant.

The milt is not the most tender belly meat of the fish, but the testis of the fish.

A male fish in the breeding season is taken, and the milt is taken out by disemboweling the belly. Because it is in the breeding season, the milt swells and can fill the entire body cavity.Take out the milt and wash it, fill it with fresh chicken and other seasonings, then put it in the pot for two hours, then take it out and slice it to eat.

After stewed, milt can lock in the flavor and freshness of food, and even cook the nutrition in milt into other ingredients.

For example, the small owl and red owl used by Su Qingya today, the meat of the small owl is tender and the fish white is sweet and tender, adding dogwood and other seasonings into the soul refining cauldron, it only takes three minutes for the fragrance to overflow, and it becomes this dish "Phoenix fetus".

Before Su Qingya took out the fish white slices from the Soul Refining Cauldron, several villagers were watching from a distance.Su Qingya and Lu Ye are foreigners, they dare not approach rashly, but the greedy insects that were hooked made them stop uncontrollably.

With a slight smile, Su Qingya asked Lu Ye to help, and divided the fish white slices into small pieces. He did not explain to the villagers, but only carried one of the plates and walked towards the young man in the front. The young man swallowed his saliva and said dryly. Said: "I... I have no money..."

As he spoke, he sucked the saliva from his lips, and wiped his face with his sleeve in embarrassment.

"This is for you," Su Qingya smiled, "No money."

The young man blinked and looked at Su Qingya in disbelief.

But Su Qingya stuffed the plate to the young man, then turned his head and left without hesitation.Seeing that the young man got this fragrant dish for no reason, the other villagers turned their eyes away from Su Qingya and focused on him.

The young man was trembling, holding the plate like holding a hot yam, reluctant to throw it away, but afraid to eat it.

While he was hesitating, a skinny big yellow dog sprang out from nowhere behind him, swiftly rushed over and snatched the meat on the plate.Unexpectedly, the young man subconsciously grabbed it.

And the yellow dog was also very hungry, and refused to give an inch, biting the young man fiercely, trying to escape with the delicate piece of meat in its mouth.The young man let out a strange yelp, and was anxious: he picked up a wooden stick next to him and hit the yellow dog.

The yellow dog looked fierce, but actually exhausted the last of his strength.

The young man hit it as hard as he could, and it just hit the back of the head. The yellow dog let out a mournful wail, and the phoenix fetus fell from the dog's mouth onto the ground covered with yellow sand.

Accompanied by the wailing dogs, the young man suddenly laughed madly. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he swallowed the fish meat without hesitation, and tears poured out of his sunken eye sockets: "Whoever wants to go hungry Hungry, I want to eat, at worst, get out of this ghost place!"

As soon as he said this, determination appeared on the faces of the few remaining hesitant villagers.

This is the time!

Su Qingya asked Lu Ye to conjure up a table in front of the Soul Refining Cauldron, and he lined up a series of small plates on the table, and each plate contained the phoenix embryos he had cut: cut The white of the red owl is light red, and the flesh of the small owl is tightly wrapped in it, like a cut red jade peony.

"This phoenix fetus was originally given to you all," Su Qingya said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, just take it if you don't have enough food."

The villagers looked at this ability to turn the case out of thin air, and then saw Su Qingya and Lu Ye's beautiful appearance and extraordinary bearing.They also heard Su Qingya say that this dish is called "Phoenix Fetus". After looking around, they hurriedly bowed to Su and Lu:

"Daxian!"

In the beginning, only a few young villagers came over with tears in their eyes and rushed to eat.Afterwards, the women and children among the villagers couldn't bear the temptation, and stepped forward one after another.Later, more people came together.

Fortunately, with the help of Lu Ye, Su Qingya only needs to show off his exquisite sword skills before the case.

The villagers have never eaten such a delicious food. They spread the word to ten or ten to a hundred. After half an hour, almost all the people in the whole village came back from the "goddess" and surrounded Su Qingya and Lu Ye, praising them. "Miracle", while preparing to kowtow to pray.

"I just said that your cooking is really delicious," Lu Ye whispered to Su Qingya, "Look, this magically saved a whole village."

"It's a pity that they don't need the ring," Su Qingya sighed: "So many people have unanimous praise, it must be better than your celebrity effect."

Lu Ye smiled: "The future is long."

The two were talking together intimately, when suddenly the world changed and the earth shook. A beautiful woman in Tsing Yi fell from the sky and directly killed Su Qingya and Lu Ye. She stared at a pair of beautiful eyes and stretched out her white eyes. Pointing at them with his finger, he cursed:

"It's you, a couple of dogs, who ruined my mother's good deeds?!!"
