Chapter 21: Dinner

It can be seen from the face of the wounded that he seems to have recovered well this afternoon, although he still needs to be supported when he walks, but he does not have the feeling that he may hang up at any time at noon.

Buffy had a smile on his face, as if he was talking to this wounded man, and he also personally supported him, not letting others interfere at all.

Zhao Xi, who saw this scene, couldn't help frowning, judging from the performance of the two, it seems that they have known each other for a long time, and it is not at all like they just met today.

The wounded man on the side seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, so he looked at Zhao Xi in the direction of his gaze.

Looking at each other, the eyes of this wounded man did not look like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties at all, but more like a young man in his twenties.

Zhao Xi saw that the other party was looking at him, and involuntarily looked away his eyes to the side.

After the wounded saw Zhao Xi and the other party look away, a trace of the original expression flashed on his face, and then he became sick and weak.

As time passed, the aroma of the food in the camp became more and more intense, the smell of broth.

Zhao Xi took a big sip of the aroma of the broth, looking satisfied, after all, he only ate two mouthfuls of bread at noon, and now he was already hungry.

Cornelia also borrowed a small iron pot from the coachman and began to make a simple broth from the jerky she had carried.

As the sun went down, Dorothy was also full of energy, playing on the side, and from time to time she took out various spices from the car.

The little girl was also careful enough to prepare some sun-dried vegetables, which suddenly exuded a special aroma when placed in the broth, which made people appetizing.

Zhao Xi didn't have anything to do, so he simply leaned on the carriage and waited for Cornelia to finish the meal, and he only needed to bring his mouth over when the time came.

Today, except for the mysterious wounded, on the whole, it is quite good, and it is also the first time that Zhao Xi has experienced a trip to another world and increased his knowledge.

A large bonfire in the distance had been lit by the mercenaries, and the huge flames lit up the entire camp as if it were daylight.

The mercenaries formed a prototype around the carriage, which was convenient for defense and to resist the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Everyone's tent was also close to the bonfire, but compared to the other people's tents, Zhao Xi's tent was much more gorgeous.

The other tents were dusty, made of a special fabric, and five people had to live in a small tent.

Zhao Xi's tent is made of special fur, with special patterns on it, and it occupies an area larger than other people's tents.

The only thing that can be compared to Zhao Xi's tent is Buffyhide and the tent where the wounded man lived.

Dorn and another unnamed mercenary captain lived with Buffy without a separate tent, while Sid was in charge of the overall defense, so he lived in a tent farther out.

Just when Zhao Xi was a little sleepy after being roasted by the bonfire, he suddenly heard someone walking towards him again, and it sounded like a woman from the footsteps.

Zhao Xi opened his eyes at this time and saw a red-haired female mercenary with two knives on her back walking cautiously towards her with half of a piece of food like a roast chicken.

After the red-haired mercenary saw Zhao Xi looking at her, her originally white little face was a little red, and her small steps were now even smaller.

Some of the mercenaries behind her looked at their companions a little timid, and began to cheer for their companions directly behind.

"Daisy!

"Daisy!

After listening to the cries of the companions behind her, the mercenary named Daisy was eager to find a crack in the ground and get in, and looked at Zhao Xi with watery eyes, as if asking for help.

Zhao Xi looked at the female mercenary on the opposite side with a pitiful look, so he had to stand up and pat the dust on his body, and slowly walked towards the red-haired female mercenary.

When Daisy saw Zhao Xi walking towards her, her eyes glowed with golden light as if she had seen a savior, and she also began to trot towards Zhao Xi.

"Miss Daisy, what are you looking for me? ”

When the two met, Zhao Xi had no choice but to say hello in order to avoid the embarrassment of the mercenary named Vina opposite.

"That's... That one... This is for you, can I know your name?"

Daisy's face was flushed now, and she was a little hesitant to speak, and handed the roast chicken-like food in her hand to Zhao Xi.

"Thank you. Zhao Xi took the food handed over by the other party and said with a smile: "My name is Tang En." ”

"Then I wish you a good night's sleep, Mr. Donn. ”

After saying this, Daisy turned around and trotted back to her companion, accompanied by the whistle and laughter of her companion.

Some of the older mercenaries on the opposite side also gave Zhao Xi a young man a cheering look, which suddenly made him feel a little crying and laughing.

However, this roast chicken is still quite fragrant, Zhao Xi smelled the aroma of the roast chicken on the wooden stick in his hand, and immediately swallowed his saliva.

But Zhao Xi didn't immediately stop talking, but walked to the side of Cornelia on the side, ready to ask Cornelia to check if there was anything wrong with this food.

Just when the mercenaries were coaxing, Dorothy also looked at Cornelia with a puzzled expression.

"Sister Cornelia, do you think that girl likes Donn?"

"Huh?" said Cornelia without looking up, "maybe, I don't know, but it's bad enough to like a perverted eye." ”

"Aren't you angry that Don was snatched away by someone else?" Dorothy continued.

Cornelia looked up and saw Dorothy and said, "What am I angry about?"

"Don and you..."

Before Dorothy finished speaking, she saw Zhao Xi walking towards her side, and hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words.

"Cornelia, come over for dinner. Zhao Xi said as he walked.

"The broth will have to wait a while, if you are hungry, you can eat the board first. Cornelia threw out a magic spell and landed on the roast chicken.

Zhao Xi also turned sideways to block the eyes of the mercenaries behind him, after all, such a blatant inspection of food, if there is no problem, it is easy to break other people's hearts.

He was also relieved to see that the holy light on the food had not changed, after all, it was a pity not to eat such a good thing.

"And don't you know how to cook, why don't you come to help?" Cornelia raised her head and looked at Zhao Xi.

"Ahahahaha, this, people will always be lazy!" Zhao Xi touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Alright, alright, let's get ready for dinner. ”

Cornelia glanced at Zhao Xi, took the wooden bowl that Dorothy handed her, and began to hold the broth in the pot.

Zhao Xi stuck the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, took the broth handed to him, and picked up the bread heated by the fire from the side, and began to eat it in a big gulp without fear of being hot.

Cornelia on the side was much more elegant, taking small sips of broth, and from time to time tidying up some long hair that was scattered due to disobedience.

Dorothy sat on the sidelines and watched the two of them eat, squinting and laughing.

"Why don't you eat this?"

Zhao Xi watched as Cornelia just took a sip of the broth, and didn't touch the roast chicken he brought over at all.

"What others gave you, what I eat, how sad others are to see it. ”

Cornelia raised her head and glared at Zhao Xi, as if she felt that the question he was asking was strange.

"yes, yes, you still have to eat it all, and this red pheasant is delicious!"

Dorothy on the side also nodded vigorously, agreeing with Cornelia's words.

"Okay. ”

Zhao Xi also felt that what the two said made some sense, so he tore off a piece of meat from the roast chicken, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Although the seasoning seems to be simply salted, the grilling heat is just right, and it is tender and delicious in one bite, and it is not as woody as ordinary chicken.

Zhao Xi's eyes lit up and he began to gulp down the roast chicken on the side, feeling choked and drank a mouthful of broth.

Daisy, who was in the distance, saw that Zhao Xi liked to eat her own food very much, and showed a happy smile.

"I said Daisy, you can't choose a husband who is too skinny, you have to choose someone as strong as your uncle. ”

The elderly mercenary on the side looked at Daisy with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but joke.

"Go, go, what to choose a husband!"

Daisy's ears turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly pushed the older mercenary aside on the side.

The mercenaries around him also laughed when they saw this, and Daisy didn't know what to do.

The mercenaries here are very lively, and the other mercenaries are not bad, and even some of the mercenaries have already taken out their musical instruments and started singing.

Although the singer doesn't know any skills and just howls with his throat, it still sounds pretty good.

As time passed, the flames of the fire became smaller and smaller, and the camp began to gradually become quiet.

Cornelia and Dorothy had already returned to the tent to rest, and although Dorothy was in good spirits at night, there was still a necessary rest.

As for Zhao Xi, his task today is to keep vigil, after all, it is not a dangerous thing to enter the Black Forest to keep vigil, just so that he can learn what to do at vigil.

Now everyone outside except for the night watchman has entered the tent and started to rest, after all, tomorrow will be in the Black Forest, and the mental trance caused by lack of sleep will be fatal.

Now there was silence in the camp except for the sound of burning firewood and exploding in the campfire, and all the mercenaries who kept vigil were silently wiping their weapons in their hands to prevent any accidents in the sudden battle.

Zhao Xi also returned to the tent and changed back into the blood leather armor, and with the loss of time, the bloody smell of the blood leather armor was no longer so pungent, but became the same as at the beginning, only a faint smell of blood, which could not be smelled if you didn't smell it carefully in an open place in the wild.
