Chapter 420: Eating Meat
Everyone traveled for two days in a row, because there was some distance between Wangxi City and Mingcheng, they had to walk for seven or eight days to move forward normally, but the scenery along the way was pleasant, and everyone hurried down and did not feel bored. On this day, everyone was walking along the rugged mountain road, and it was noon when they walked, and everyone suddenly felt hungry.
Jingyang took the lead in slowing down and said, "It's time for dinner, why don't you fill your stomach with some dry food before you go?"
The Rat King said: "It's okay, there is a forest on the side of the road, so let's take a break and eat some dry food by the way." As he spoke, he and the others stopped at the edge of the woods.
After everyone sat down, they each took out dry food and ate it, it was nothing more than some dry cakes, steamed buns and the like, which tasted very bad when chewed, compared to hot meals, but for those of them who walked the rivers and lakes, there was no way to eat such food, and they should just fill their stomachs.
Everyone ate slowly, even if it was tasteless, they didn't complain, they knew that they could only do it in the wilderness. But there is one person who can't stand it, this person is the Iron Arm Knight, he said with anger on his face: "Damn, it's too unpalatable, this thing doesn't have a little meat, not even a little oil, and if you eat it like this, you have to crush my demon." ”
Bai Yunfeng on the side said: "Iron arm, don't complain, the conditions are limited now, just wait for what you should do, and wait until Mingcheng has its own wine and food to enjoy." ”
Tie Jian said: "I can't wait, I have to go to the neighborhood to find some meat to eat." As he spoke, he walked towards the galewind horse beside him.
The Rat King said: "Don't mess around, we have to hurry later, now there is no shop in front of the village in this barren countryside, where do you find wine and meat to eat?"
Tie Jian said: "I have my own way, don't forget that my gale war horse is not an ordinary horse, if it runs hard, then trekking through mountains and rivers is not like playing." ”
The Rat King said: "You can go if you want to, but we can't wait for you all the time, give you half an hour, if you can find wine and meat, it is your ability, if you don't see you after the time, we will go first." ”
Iron Arm stepped onto the war horse and said: "Although you are one step ahead, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with you if I have a BMW." As he spoke, he rode his war horse galloping towards a path on one side.
Looking at the figure of the iron arm in the distance, Yi Qingfeng said helplessly: "This guy is still a demon after all, and he is just confused when he does things, shouldn't he have anything to do with him this time?"
The Rat King said: "No, since the last time he scared Uncle Zhong so much that he fell and injured himself, he has been careful in everything, and he shouldn't cause trouble in the future, besides, this area is deserted, he should just want to go to the mountains to find some game to satisfy his hunger." ”
As the Rat King expected, Iron Arm really wanted to go to the nearby mountains to find some game to eat, and he rode his war horse around a large mountain, and the war horse was extremely capable, and it was as if he were walking on the ground up and down the mountain, without any effort.
Although the iron arm walked freely in the mountains, he never saw the prey when he turned around, which made him very angry, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn, the luck is really bad, how can I not even see a trace of the prey." ”
Scolding and scolding, Iron Arm still patiently continued to search for prey in the mountains, and the effort paid off, and suddenly the corpse of a roe deer appeared in the grass not far away, with a few sharp arrows stuck in its body, which looked like it had just been shot to death by someone.
Iron Arm looked around and found that there was no human figure, and he secretly said in his heart: "God really helps me, there is nowhere to find it when I step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the roe deer on the ground and put it on the horse's back, thinking that the rat king had only given him half an hour when he came, and the iron arm did not dare to linger longer, so he quickly returned to the same way.
As soon as the iron arm walked on the front foot, several hounds and seven or eight hunters sprang out of the mountain on one side, and one of the hunters said: "What's going on, that roe deer is obviously running towards this side, it will definitely not be able to escape if it is injured, why is it missing now." ”
Another hunter looked at the blood on the ground and said, "The roe deer bled all the way to the grass in front of it, and now it is gone, it must have been snatched by someone." ”
The other hunters hurriedly looked around, and suddenly one of the hunters pointed to the iron arm galloping in the distance and said, "Look, there is a man there who has run away on horseback, and our prey must have been snatched by him." ”
The Orion said angrily: "Damn, where did the despicable people come out, they are too fat, they actually rob us of our things, and when they catch him, they must make him look good." As he spoke, he let the hounds take the lead in the direction of Iron Arm's escape, and they followed.
Let's say that the iron arm quickly returned to the forest where Yi Qingfeng, the rat king and others were resting, and saw that he really brought back a prey, everyone was surprised and happy, and they couldn't help but praise a few words, and the iron arm also felt very useful. Once they had food, they began to remove the roe deer meat with knives, then rinse it with water from a nearby mountain spring, and then roast the meat fresh over the fire.
These jobs are naturally difficult for everyone, and in just a moment, a strong smell of meat wafted in the entire forest, Jingyang was so hungry that his saliva was about to flow out, he picked up a large string of barbecue meat and said: "Wow, it's so fragrant, it has hooked all my suppressed appetite in the past few days." He ate unceremoniously.
Just as everyone was feasting on their mouths full of oil, suddenly there was a sound of dogs barking, and then a group of hunters and hounds with bows and arrows appeared in front of them. The hunters looked at the deer deer on the ground and said angrily: "Okay, it turns out that you shameless thieves stole our prey, and now you dare to eat and chew so blatantly, it is really too ignorant of us." ”
Seeing that a group of hunters suddenly appeared, the Rat King, Yi Qingfeng and the others were also a little dumbfounded, and they all looked at the iron arm and said, "This roe deer can't be these hunters, right?"
Tie Jian said: "No, I picked up the roe deer in the mountains, and there was no one around at that time, why did they say that this roe deer was theirs?"
Seeing that Iron Arm still wanted to deny it, a hunter stepped forward and said, "This roe deer is obviously our prey, and you can see that the arrows in its body are exactly the same as the arrows we carry on our bodies." As he spoke, he took out the arrow from his body and handed it to the others.
Everyone compared, and sure enough, they found that what Orion said was true, and the Rat King said: "Iron arm, iron arm, what else do you have to say now, I thought you were going hunting, but I didn't expect to steal someone else's prey." ”
Iron Arm said aggrievedly: "I can't blame all this, when I found the roe deer, there was really no one around, because there was a time limit and I couldn't stay too long, so I quickly took the roe deer away." ”
The Rat King said: "Okay, it's useless to talk about it at this point, now let's see how to end this matter." ”
Yi Qingfeng said to the group of hunters: "This matter is indeed our fault, please bear with me, you just have to open your mouth for how much silver you want, and we will compensate according to the price." ”
The hunters said, "We don't want your stinky silver, and even if we have it, there is nowhere to use it, and there is not even a market in the backwoods here, so we want the roe deer, and the family is still waiting to fill their stomachs with it." ”
Seeing that the hunters didn't want silver, Jingyang was a little unhappy, and he said with a displeased face: "A few big brothers, we are at fault first, but you don't need to be unforgiving, if you want to say that you just wait to eat this roe deer meat to live, no one believes it." ”
Zhong Jialei beside him also echoed: "That's it, take us as fools, you can't live without this roe deer, just say as much silver as you want, we still have important things to do and hurry up." ”
These words of the two made the hunters anxious, and they said angrily: "It is not right for you to steal our prey, and now we are still counting us, and now we only need prey, and nothing else is discussed." ”
Seeing that the hunters had said this, everyone turned their hearts and said, "Isn't it just a roe deer, I really think it's something great, and we will compensate you." As he spoke, he packed his luggage and prepared to go into the mountains to hunt a roe deer and compensate the hunters.
Seeing that everyone was really going to enter the mountain, Tie Jian hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, everyone, this matter is all because of me, it is better for me to go into the mountain to beat a roe deer to compensate them, you should continue to hurry, anyway, my horse is fast, I will chase you after I finish the work." ”
The Rat King said: "Don't take everything to yourself, the roe deer meat is not all eaten by you alone, this matter is so decided, everyone goes into the mountain together, just to beat a roe deer, it doesn't take much effort." So saying, they all went to the mountain.
