Chapter 51: Mermaids Don't Cry 1

The moon hangs like a hook in the night sky. The sound of the night owl's sinister laughter drifted through the night, and the sound of wings flapping faded away.

Tsing Yi suddenly woke up from his sleep, only to feel extremely hungry.

She reached out and pressed her side to the side, tossing and turning on the bed with some impatience.

Hunger made her feel that her internal organs were empty, and a strong eating* made her unable to help but get up and get out of bed, and slowly walked to the door of the room barefoot.

There was a small clicking sound outside the room, and Tsing Yi leaned his ear to the door panel to listen carefully to the movement outside the door.

The muffled sound of raw meat being torn apart came in bits and pieces, accompanied by the sound of heavy wheezing, sticky biting, and the occasional crunch of bones being bitten off, Tsing Yi knew that the monsters outside the door were enjoying their fresh and delicious supper.

I'm so hungry -- I want to eat fish --

Listening to the sound of eating full of wildness, Tsing Yi couldn't help but press his hungry and aching stomach, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

The movement of eating outside the door suddenly disappeared, replaced by the happy low laughter of the yokai, and then one of the youkai whispered, "The new moon has arrived, shall we go hunting?" ”

New moon?

Tsing Yi's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately stood up straight and stopped eavesdropping on the movements of those monsters, and then tiptoed back to the bed again and quietly.

As soon as the moon arrives, the terrain outside the inn will change again, and the guests who come in that way will have to change again.

Tsing Yi sighed in annoyance, closed his eyes again, and lay there quietly, silently enduring the burning hunger.

The general fell asleep, and a loud rooster crow sounded outside the inn.

Tsing Yi immediately opened his eyes, climbed off the bed with a bone, and ran out of the room to the kitchen after quickly finishing his makeup.

The sound of quick knives chopping meat in the kitchen continued, and Tsing Yi looked inside from outside the door, and saw Master Gao rolling up his sleeves and holding a sharp knife in one hand.

"Yo, you woke up so early today." Master Gao seemed to be aware of the tilt of his head and greeted Tsing Yi, "Or is it a time-consuming dish like preparing sauced beef today?" ”

"Not really." Tsing Yi subconsciously covered his stomach, and said a little embarrassed, "I didn't seem to have eaten enough last night, and I slept until midnight and was hungry, so I got up early in the morning to get some food pads to pad my stomach." ”

Hearing this, Master Gao just nodded casually, and then said to the burning stove: "It's just boiling the pot, don't worry about anything, you can get some food first." ”

Tsing Yi didn't say much, went straight to the sink and caught a fish, cut the belly and scales, and then roughly wiped the fish body and fish belly with green onions, ginger and garlic, and fried it in the oil pan.

When the fried fish is browned, add some old wine to simmer for a while, then add water, and when the soup boils, add salt and soy sauce to taste, and finally sprinkle some garlic sprouts out of the pot and put it on the plate.

Master Gao was also hungry by the smell of fish mixed with ginger and garlic soy sauce, he sniffed and stopped, and saw that Tsing Yi was eating fish with a pair of chopsticks there, so he suddenly threw away the two chopping knives and went to Tsing Yi's side and begged: "Good girl, smell the fragrance, I am hungry to death by you." It just so happened that I didn't have breakfast when I got up in the morning, so I had to pad my stomach......"

Before the words fell, he saw that Tsing Yi had put down his chopsticks, and took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

When I looked down again, I saw that the big fish that weighed more than two catties had been eaten clean by Tsing Yi.

Master Gao's eyes widened in surprise, staring at Tsing Yi's delicate little mouth and said, "Girl, didn't you have dinner yesterday?" Compared to the past, you have a good appetite this morning......"

"Eat." Tsing Yi's fish fell into her stomach, and then she felt that she was alive again, and then she hiccuped quietly and said lazily, "It's just the white porridge I ate last night, I'm afraid I'm not hungry." I didn't sleep well after half the night when I was hungry. ”

Hearing this, Master Gao showed a look of approval, nodded and agreed: "That's nature, how can white porridge fill your stomach?" I have to eat half a pig and a cow to be full. You are a little lady, although you don't have the appetite of our men, but in the end you still want a whole pork leg. It's not that I said, your appetite is too small on weekdays, a small bowl of rice, a small plate of side dishes, and you say that you are full. ”

Tsing Yi only felt that what Master Gao said was too outrageous, so he covered his mouth and chuckled, and then replied: "I am a mortal, where did I get such a big appetite to eat a whole pork leg?" This big fish is also stuffed by me when I'm very hungry, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat half of it, right? ”

Master Gao smacked his lips and shook his head when he heard this, and saw that the fish had been eaten by Tsing Yi alone, and he had nothing to eat, so he turned around without delay and continued to chop up the minced meat.

Tsing Yi silently touched his somewhat supported stomach, and then decided to go out for a walk first to eliminate food. She scolded as she walked, people are really hungry, and when they are hungry, they will have no control when they eat, and it is not easy to control the amount of food, and they will eat too much if they are not careful.

Hei Saburo outside had already gotten up to clean up the lobby, and when he saw Tsing Yi slowly walking out of the kitchen with his stomach in his arms, he jumped onto the table and smiled at Tsing Yi who came out and said, "What did you get just now?" It smells good, go back and get me some too, I'm a little hungry. ”

Tsing Yi, who originally had a comfortable face, saw Hei Saburo, and suddenly turned cold and didn't make a sound.

Because Hei Saburo ruined her rare marriage sign without saying anything that day, and forced her to draw countless lotteries like teasing her, so Tsing Yi has been angry with Hei Saburo recently.

That day, Tsing Yi was dizzy, and after thinking about it, he remembered Hei Saburo's power, and he was a little afraid, and he didn't dare to turn his face with Hei Saburo again.

It's just that the breath that is blocked in her heart and can't be swallowed, which makes Tsing Yi feel panicked, so in the following days, she always kept a straight face, and seemed to be well-behaved but was actually dissatisfied with Hei Saburo.

At this time, Hei Saburo meant to eat the fish made by Tsing Yi, and Tsing Yi did not refuse, nodded with a cold face, and then looked at Hei Saburo without a single glance, and walked straight out of the gate.

Hei Saburo suddenly restrained his smile, looked at Tsing Yi's back and frowned. However, he didn't say anything, just dodged and disappeared.

At the time of the new moon, the topography of the area where the Santugawa Inn is located will change.

The reason for the change of terrain in Tsing Yi is unknown, only that every time it changes, it is not the same.

But even if he was used to seeing the exterior scene that changed once a month, after opening the felt curtain at the door at this moment, Tsing Yi was still shocked by the scenery outside.

Not far from the inn, a wide river appeared out of thin air, winding and stretching into the distance, almost crossing the entire snowfield.

The riverside is different from a barren snowfield, there are a few large weeping willows with lush foliage, and under the thick trees is a small green meadow, and where it borders the snowfield, the green grass slowly disappears under the white ice and snow, and it looks very natural, as if this place was originally like this.

A figure in a wide black cloak was standing under a willow tree, staring at the clear river.

Tsing Yi blinked, and immediately recognized that the figure was the master of the dead wood, so he took a few more strange steps out, looking forward to the river.

I saw the clear water of the river flowing in the river, and on the sparkling river, from time to time there were one or two small fish jumping out to play.

When Tsing Yi saw the few small fish that jumped out of the water, he suddenly felt a little hungry again.

She wants to eat fish.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Deadwood stared at the river with a gorgeous smile, but his voice was full of vicissitudes and calm, and he said slowly, "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful scenery in Tsing Yi?" ”

"Hmm......" Tsing Yi came back to his senses from the urge to eat fish and replied vaguely.

"Tsing Yi has been at the inn for more than three years now." Master Deadwood sighed with emotion, "When Lao Ni first saw you, you were still very young, and in the blink of an eye, you have grown up......."

Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at the gorgeous side face of the dead wood and did not speak.

Deadwood laughed to himself, and gradually retracted his smile and stared at the sparkling river.

Tsing Yi saw that the dead wood looked different from usual, and looked like an enlightened and Zen person, so he stood quietly aside without making a sound, so as to spoil the other party's artistic conception.

After half a ring, Tsing Yi looked at the small fish that kept jumping and was already stupid, and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The thought of wanting to eat fish lingered, and her heart was like a cat's claw scratching a dog, which made her a little crazy.

While she was restless, she heard the dead wood on the side suddenly laugh and said, "Speaking of which, this river is rich in white fish, the meat is delicate, tender and juicy, and it is a good thing for the season." Lao Ni was still worried that the fish he brought back a few days ago was tired of eating, and he wanted to change his taste, but he happened to meet the new moon. ”

Tsing Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Master Deadwood and smiled happily: "Master wants to get some white fish for me to cook?" ”

"It's so rare, so naturally I want to get some white fish to try it." Deadwood looked at Tsing Yi and nodded with a smile, and then lowered his eyes as if muttering to himself, and whispered, "The opportunity must not be lost, it will not come again, Lao Ni has waited for a hundred years, this time God has sent me a rare opportunity, how can I miss it in vain......"
