Chapter 13: Be Honest
The afterglow of the setting sun scorched the sea of clouds on the horizon, and the fiery red sun slowly set down the mountain peaks, sprinkling a layer of golden gauze on the earth.
Lin Xiuyuan, who had been tossing all day, could finally rest for a while.
A leeward cave sits at the mouth of a lumber pile, orange flames dancing softly, licking the flesh pierced by the branches.
Lin Xiuyuan's right hand was holding the other end of the branch, concentrating on roasting the thigh meat of the unknown animal in his hand.
On the boulder beside him, there was also a large pile of cleaned flesh and blood, red and elastic, looking particularly elastic.
Watch the pieces of meat on the branches turn from red to yellow, from yellow to black, and finally a faint smell of paste wafts into the air.
Waiting until the surface of the meat was almost completely carbonized, Lin Xiuyuan withdrew the branch and looked at the pitch-black charcoal in front of him with a cautious expression.
'Try?'
Lin Xiuyuan first picked up a clean branch with his other hand and carefully scraped off the carbon layer on the surface of the barbecue, revealing the part that was still palpable.
Half of it was scraped off, and Lin Xiuyuan stopped what he was doing, looked at the white and black barbecue in front of him, and slowly bit it down with a heroic and righteous look.
Sour, sassy, astringent, chai.
Like a charred wild boar mixed with the smell of mutton, there is also a sour taste of horse meat.
Holding back the nausea, Lin Xiuyuan chewed perfunctorily a few times, and swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth.
Looking at the barbecue meat in his hand, which has hardly changed in volume, his expression is complicated.
'Even if I'm a bad cook, you're so talented. ’
'No wonder you can grow so big, the feelings are too difficult for you to say. ’
Pinching his nose, relying on his now powerful body, Lin Xiuyuan stuffed the piece of meat in his hand directly into his mouth, without chewing, with the help of the strong muscles in his throat, he swallowed it raw into his stomach.
Sure enough, no matter in that world, if an animal is not bred in batches as food, in addition to scarce breeding, there is a high probability that it will not be delicious.
Sometimes, we still have to trust the vision of our ancestors.
Eating game has no future except for the chance to win a viral package prize.
After barely eating a large piece of barbecue to replenish his strength, Lin Xiuyuan's ears suddenly moved slightly, and he turned back to the cave, looking at the man lying on the leaves, ready to wait for the other party to wake up.
Lin Xiuyuan, who was slowly beginning to adapt to his facial features, heard the sound of a rapidly accelerating heartbeat, and guessed that the wounded might be about to wake up.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the man's eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes.
Mowgli feels that he has lived a fulfilling life today, just like in a dream.
First of all, he was inexplicably found hiding by Yutian and his party in the early morning, and after desperately killing the four great masters and breaking out of the encirclement, he was forced to start the journey to the end of the world again, and finally he was outnumbered, and was put into a cold arrow and fell off the cliff.
Then he didn't seem to fall to his death, but was saved by a stranger, and that man seemed to be a fool who could only say a word.
But at that time, I was delirious and couldn't control my body, so I had to lie down like that.
After that, I don't know much about it, but I remember that it should have been found by Yutian and his party at that time. His hair stood on end, and he used all his energy to open his mouth to remind him and fainted again.
Now it seems that his reminder is still useful, at least now that he is out of danger, otherwise the place where he opened his eyes would not be a cave, but a dungeon.
"In the next Mowgli, thank you for saving your life. ”
Looking at the strange man in front of him, Wuji endured the soreness in his body and forcibly got up, knelt on one knee, and saluted Lin Xiuyuan with a fist.
"Well, no, no, I just helped you out. ”
Lin Xiuyuan was not very accustomed to this kind of etiquette, so he hurriedly held Wuji up, and the latter gritted his teeth in pain.
"Oh, sorry, forget you're still wounded. Quick, lie down. ”
Lin Xiuyuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and found that Lin Xiuyuan, who seemed to be doing bad things with good intentions, let go of Wuji and was no longer in physical contact with the other party.
“... And don't call me Engong, it's weird, my surname is Lin, and my name is Xiuyuan... Just call me Lin Shaoxia. ”
Seeing Wuji lie down again after saying a word of rudeness, Lin Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally there is a living person to ask questions. ’
"We're not familiar with each other now, so let's introduce each other. ”
"That's how it should be. Wuji nodded, he felt that it was his obligation to reveal his identity to Engong, and he consciously took the lead in speaking.
"In Xia Wuji, a person from Tiannan Mansion, was originally the general of the Cangwu Northern Border Guard. ”
Speaking of this, a touch of self-deprecation appeared on Wuji's pale face, and he shook his head and continued:
"Hehe, but now he's just a thief. was hunted down by the second factory of that thing, presumably Lin Shaoxia had already met them today. ”
After Wuji finished speaking, he looked up at Lin Xiuyuan, he wanted to know how the latter would behave after knowing his identity.
Wuji is ready to resign, he will lead away the pursuers, and he will never let Lin Xiuyuan suffer an unwarranted disaster.
Since the ascension of the national teacher, the status of the East and West No. 2 Factory in Cangwu has risen, and now it is almost hand and eye, the people of the world, and the officials who are not afraid? .
He is a manly man, one person has something to do, and he doesn't want Lin Xiuyuan to be implicated because of him.
To the surprise of Mowgli, Lin Xiuyuan did not show any jealousy of the second factory, and even did not take it to heart at all.
"Oh, then you're very powerful, and you're a general and you're being hunted down. ”
Sure enough, this Mowgli is definitely a key role in my mission. So I'm taking sides now?'
"No wonder Fang Zhi told me that when the time comes, the mission will take the initiative to come to me, this is the plot?"
Without looking at Wuji's face, Lin Xiuyuan began brainstorming again.
He felt that the road ahead was beginning to brighten.
I don't know what camp this guy belongs to... But it's better than the bastards who shot me indiscriminately... Next, I guess it's time to start leveling up and fighting monsters. ’
"Lin Shaoxia?"
Mowgli's call interrupted Lin Xiuyuan's conjecture. The former now feels that his engong is probably really a fool, and any normal person laughs when he hears that he is being chased and killed by the second factory at the same time.
Wuji wants to remind his engong that he is chasing and killing himself from the East and West No. 2 Factory, and it is the factory father Yutian who takes the lead.
If Lin Shaoxia gave up his life in such a daze, he would have an unstable life for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that Lin Xiuyuan's brain circuit is obviously not at the same frequency as him.
It is obviously impossible for a normal person to keep up with the frequency of a frog jumping in heat in the rain.
"Hmm? What's wrong... Oh, I see, right now. ”
Throwing down a sentence that had no beginning or end, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't wait to rush out of the cave, leaving only Wuji lying on the ground with a hooded face.
"Did I say anything earlier?...
...
"Here it is, the fresh secret little barbecue is out of the oven. ”
Looking at Lin Xiuyuan's hopeful eyes in front of him, Wuji had no choice but to swallow the words in his mouth, follow the former, and take over the strange meat that was held by the leaves.
...
"Is it delicious?"
"Delicious. ”
Swallowing the last bite of the barbecue, Wuji nodded from the bottom of his heart.
Even as a general back then, Wuji, who ate with the soldiers, rarely ate meat, and even if he did, he only divided one or two slices in the broth to satisfy his hunger, not to mention himself who is now on the run.
No matter how strange the taste of this barbecue is, it is also meat, far from being comparable to corn.
"It's delicious... Haha, I'm afraid you're not used to not having salt. Lin Xiuyuan scratched his head and sneered.
'I've improved?, and sure enough, I'm a real genius. ’
"Lin Shaoxia, it's enough to have meat, Wuji doesn't dare to ask for too much. ”
Seizing the opportunity, Mowgli spoke first, and he wanted to take the initiative to speak.
"Lin Shaoxia is not afraid of the second factory of the east and west?"
"East and West No. 2 Factory? ”
Facing Wuji's gaze, Lin Xiuyuan shook his head honestly, and then put on an obedient appearance of a good student, waiting for the former to solve his doubts.
"Lin Shaoxia doesn't know the second factory of the east and west?"
"I don't know" Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, he was an honest man and never lied.
"Lin Shaoxia don't be joking, your great kindness and virtue are unscrupulous, but Lin Shaoxia doesn't need to grudge with the East and West Second Factory because he is below. ”
Wuji almost didn't come up in one breath, he thought that Lin Xiuyuan was the kind of chivalrous man who was dissatisfied with the brutality of the second factory, and he specifically opposed him.
But what he committed was not an ordinary thing, and the crime of assassinating the national teacher was no less than stabbing the sky in Cangwu. If the other party participates, he will definitely die.
The entire Cangwu has long been the world of the national teacher, and the people who assassinated the national teacher, except for himself, the allies have all died, and he is also precarious.
You must know that among the people who were killed, there were three great masters who had accumulated years.
