Chapter 122: The Banquet

By the end of the tour, Byronsburg was already covered in night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the middle of the tour, the onlookers picked up the torches that had been prepared to illuminate the way of the touring team. When the light could not keep up, Maier, who had been following the tour on the city walls, would fire a few magic flares into the sky at the right time, causing people to let out a burst of exclamations.

Due to the lack of supplies in the castle, the witch gave gifts to the people and was canceled by Maier. After the tour, the tour team was disbanded directly outside the West Gate. In order to have a place for everyone to sit while eating, Maier had a lot of logs brought in from the log pile and arranged them neatly in the open space.

Because of the limited conditions, there is no need to count on the table. In the warehouses of Byronsburg, there are only all kinds of cured and air-dried meats, not even fresh vegetables. Fortunately, Meier's men were familiar with their surroundings, and under their guidance, the women of Byrensburg found wild vegetables, wild fruits, nuts and fungi in the woods.

The menu consisted of only a few stews, and snacks consisted of cured and dried meats cut into small pieces, as well as wild fruits and nuts from the forest.

Because the seats are long logs, people can only sit side by side and chat with the people around them. The taste of the stewed food was uneven, and the taste of the snacks was not very good, but everyone still had a good time.

Among the thousands of smiling faces, there are a few faces that are clearly out of place. Lanning, who hadn't laughed in a long time, was one, and Maier, Yishan, and Ulis were the other three.

Just as Mel had feared before, after the sweet happiness had passed, Yishan and Euris soon realized that Mel had been hugging two people at the time. This kind of "flowery" behavior made the two very angry, but the fact that the opponent was hugged made them even more angry, so that Euris even forgot about her disguise and looked at Yishan angrily.

Maier didn't persuade peace, nor did he leave, so he could only sit between the two with an embarrassed face. On the other side, He Yan Xinye was feeding He Yan Zhiheng, who was flushed.

Being fed in public by his sister is a very shameful thing in the eyes of He Yan Zhiheng. If He Yan Xinye just fed him food, she would have to make a "Ah~~~" sound every time she fed, and wait for He Yan Zhiheng to open his mouth to make a "Ah~~~" sound, and then send the food into his mouth.

Unfortunately, the three maids happened to be sitting on the log opposite them, and they happened to be face to face with the brothers and sisters of the Yan family. He Yan Zhiheng always couldn't help but glance at the bird, and whenever he saw her face turned to this side, he would become very nervous.

The bird can't move, so she also enjoys being fed. However, compared to the embarrassed and nervous He Yan Zhiheng, the little bird who was fed by Xiaoye seemed very happy. After eating a spoonful of stew, Little Bird finally noticed that He Yan Zhiheng on the other side was being fed by his sister again.

After seeing this scene, the bird suddenly closed its mouth. Xiao Ye brought the next spoonful of stew to the bird's beak, and she didn't open her mouth.

"Hmm...... Have you eaten enough? ”

"It's not a joke!"

The little bird wanted to reach out to the Kazuyan siblings, but she just moved her shoulder, and the pain rushed to her brain like a flood. After baring its teeth for a while, the bird could only snort in that direction.

"Look at how good other people are, I want to 'ah~~~'."

"Huh? In front of so many people, 'ah~~~' or something......" Xiao Yexiao's face flushed, "Isn't it okay to eat normally?" ”

"Don't! I'm going to 'ah~~~'! ”

"Hmm......"

"People are wounded! I can't move my whole body! Can you bear to let me not be able to eat like this? ”

The wayward appearance of the little bird made Kiki, who was sitting on the other side of her, very unhappy, so she interjected unceremoniously.

"You are doing this on your own, hurry up and eat honestly, and you have to work for your master after you recover from your injuries."

After being taken care of by Kiki for a while, she couldn't hold her head up in front of Kiki because she owed Kiki a favor. So much so that when Kiki left halfway, Xiao Bird was embarrassed to call her "that little dot" in front of Xiao Ye, but called her "Miss Kiki" instead.

Xiao Ye was very pleased with such a change, and she persuaded Xiao Bird to take this opportunity to completely improve her relationship with Kiki, but Xiao Bird couldn't let go of it, and never apologized to Kiki for all her previous mistakes. Even so, the change in the bird's attitude is really not small, at least now she has sincerely obeyed Kiki's arrangement.

"No, ah~~~, no, ah~~~."

The little bird honestly opened its mouth and ate the stew in the small leaf spoon.

On the log behind the three maids, Yu Changnian sat side by side with his daughter, eating without saying a word. Yu Changnian eats boiled sweet potatoes, and Yu Mingli eats stew.

Yu Mingli didn't seem to have a very good appetite, and he didn't miss a small bowl of stew for a long time. Yu Changnian is the opposite, he has already eaten a lot. After eating the boiled sweet potato in his hand, Yu Changnian took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands, then stuffed the handkerchief back into his sleeve.

"Still not relieved?"

Yu Changnian did not turn his head when he spoke, but looked at the fire used for lighting between the logs. The flames danced merrily in the crackling sound, emitting a little spark like sweat.

"Actually, when I heard the layman's decision, I was surprised. I want the layman to work hard for the 29 villages over the years, and the 29 villages can develop to what they are today, all of which are the credit of the laymen. The big clans in the twenty-nine villages can't do this, our Yu family can't do it, and the people in those villages can't do it. It is no exaggeration to say that without laymen, there would be no 29 villages, because 29 villages were established by laymen. ”

"I couldn't stand the betrayal, so I was angry too. But when I thought about it, the people of Twenty-Nine Village had already betrayed the laymen at a very early age. When I was a child, your grandfather told me about the reason for the alliance between Twenty-Nine Village and Riya Shrine. That was when our Yu family first came to Twenty-Nine Village, and the people of Shangjin County came to find the layman, saying that they wanted to merge Twenty-Nine Village into Shangjin County. Of course, the layman disagreed, but not long after, the people of Twenty-Nine Village suddenly approached the layman, saying that he wanted the layman to find them a few witches to preside over various activities. ”

"You must know that before this, there was not a single witch in the twenty-nine villages, and the weddings and funerals were presided over by highly respected people, so it was not a big deal. Later, your grandfather found out that it was Kamijin Prefecture who sent people to Twenty-Nine Village to do propaganda, saying that the Ira people should live according to the Ira's way, so those people would go to the layman to ask for shrine maidens. At this time, the Shrine suddenly intervened in the Twenty-Nine Village, saying that as long as the Twenty-Nine Village was willing to form an alliance with the Shrine, they would send a shrine maiden. ”

The layman felt that he could maintain his independence by forming an alliance rather than being annexed, so he signed an alliance with Rimi Shrine. In other words, Kamijin Prefecture was busy for a long time, but he made a wedding dress for Riya Shrine. But the covenant at that time was not the version you know, but the unconditional dispatch of shrine maidens to the twenty-nine villages at the Rima Shrine. A few years later, the shrine suddenly said that it was going to remove the shrine maiden and break the covenant, and at this time, Kamijin Prefecture came to join in the fun, and in desperation, the lay people could only change the content of the covenant. In this way, Rimi Shrine threatens the laymen through this means, and little by little changes the covenant to what you know. ”

"Actually, I've been thinking about the question of which is more important than the identity of the Ira people or the laymen. For our Yu family, of course, it is more important to be a layman. If it hadn't been for the layman's intake, the original Yu family would have died in the wilderness - in fact, at this point, everyone in the twenty-nine villages was the same. If it weren't for the original shelter of the laymen in those twenty-nine villages, there would be no so-called twenty-nine villages. But when it came to making a choice, others did not hesitate to choose the former. ”

"In the face of national feelings and kindness, the vast majority of people have chosen national feelings, does this mean that we have made the wrong choice? Categorically not! Yu Changnian's tone suddenly became excited, "If the so-called national feelings are ungrateful, then I would rather not have this national feelings!" If ingratitude is the essence of an Ira, I'd rather not be an Ira! The moment I chose to follow the layman out of the 29th Village, I was no longer a part of the 29th Village. Let them carry the so-called national feelings! I only carry my own loyalty! ”

Yu Changnian's words made Yu Mingli stunned, and when she came back to her senses, Yu Changnian was no longer in her seat.

Carrying only one's own loyalty......

Yu Mingli raised his head and looked at the bright night sky intently. By the time she lowered her head, her hands and mouth had moved, and she had gulped down the stew in her bowl.

On the western side of the city wall, Nami lay on the ground, and Yan He lay on her lap. Nami Monk held a piece of boiled sweet potato in his hand, while Yan He held a large piece of air-dried meat.

"Na, Xiao Nan, don't look at those Ira and Tairong people below, bow your head and see if I'm okay?"

"Hmm...... Don't you think their happy faces are beautiful? ”

"Huh?"

Yan He turned his head to look at the people under the city wall, tore off a piece of air-dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

"If you say beautiful, you're beautiful."

"Why can't you understand the beauty of these creatures?" Nami said with regret, "A lot of the things they create are things we can't create, aren't they?" ”

"That's right, yes, they do a lot of things that we can't do, such as betrayal, breaking promises, and so on."

Yan He's words had thorns in them, but Nami could only let it stab into his heart. She clutched her chest, and it took a while for the pain in her heart to begin to subside.

"Perhaps...... You should look more at the good parts of them. ”

"Okay, isn't that how it should be?" Yan He shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, "Before the Ira people appeared in our world, did we see anything bad?" If nothing else, at least until they appear, we don't have to be inexplicably called 'youkai'. ”

Nami wanted to say something, but Yan He sealed his mouth with his grease-stained hands.

"Alright, alright, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Besides, your heart should hurt again. ”

As he spoke, Yan He snatched the boiled sweet potato from Nami Jushi's hand again, swallowed it in his stomach, and then seriously licked the residue from Nami Jushi's hand. Nanyi's face turned red, and he let Yan He lick his little hand with his tongue.

"I said I could be a vegetarian for your sake, but I would never accept Ira."

Yan Crane withdrew the hand that had sealed Nami and placed his finger on Nami Layman's mouth.

"You haven't tasted animal fat in a long time, don't you try it?"

Nami hesitated for a moment, and carefully stuck out her tongue and licked Yan He's fingers. The aroma of oil spreads on the tip of the tongue, stimulating the nerves of Nami Layman. She couldn't help but want to lick it again, but at this time, Yan He put away her fingers, suddenly sat up, and took Nami Layman's tongue in her mouth.

"Hmm!!!"

Before Nami could let out a second scream, Yan He's tongue stuck into her mouth. The mixture of boiled sweet potatoes and air-dried meat made her mouth down the saliva, and the wonderful taste of salty and sweet intertwined made her can't help but entangle her tongue with Yanhe's tongue.

After about five minutes, Nami pouted, and the oil stains on the side of her mouth disappeared.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've done this."

Yan He rested on Nanyi's lap and leisurely chewed on the air-dried meat.

"You can't do another surprise attack next time, you know?"

Nami said in a reproachful tone.

"Uh-huh, got it."

Yan He was a little unhappy in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded his head twice, and then tore off a piece of air-dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
