Chapter 36
It was the fifth day after Tong Xiu and Tang Ning's ceremony, all their luggage was packed, and they were ready to leave the fox clan for the tiger clan. Patriarch Tang Ran couldn't wait to give all his belongings to his younger brother and take them away, except for the place where Tang Ning was sitting, the Tong Xiu was full of things, but fortunately, the things were not too heavy and could afford it. The big white tiger Huo Bai was not much better, there were a bunch of bits and pieces, especially the ten ducks in the cage, Gu Xi couldn't bear to look at it, it was a mighty big tiger, with all kinds of packages hanging on his body, and his image was completely ruined.
Huo Bai didn't care, these were all things that Gu Xi wanted to bring back, as long as Gu Xi liked it, and his might was only shown to Gu Xi anyway, where did he care about other people's eyes.
"Xiao Ning, when you get to the Tiger Clan, take care of yourself" Tang Ran's eyes were red, and he almost cried.
"En" Tang Ning nodded, and his eyes were also red: "Brother, you too." ā
"Wait until next year's exchange day, I will go to the Tiger Clan to see you," Tang Ran said, and looked at Tong Xiu and commanded, "You must take care of him." ā
Tong Xiu nodded again and again.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Three tigers, two sub-beasts, with a bunch of luggage, set off towards the tiger clan.
This time I brought back more things, their speed was a little slow, Tang Ning had just left the fox clan and his brother, and his feelings had been a little low, sitting on Tong Xiu's back along the way, he didn't talk much, and everyone didn't want to disturb him, and his mood gradually improved in the next few days, and Tong Xiu comforted him for a long time along the way, and said that he would definitely come back to live in the future.
This way, they are all in a hurry, they don't find a place to rest every day, orcs don't sleep for a few days is no problem, when they rush at night, Gu Xi lies on Huo Bai's back to sleep, generally a three-day road, only to find a place to rest for a night, and then continue on the road, taking the road that the tribe takes to participate in the exchange day, there is no foresight of any dangerous beasts on the road, some small beasts do not dare to cause trouble because they are afraid of the tiger clan, but they are also stable.
When he was bored on the road, Tang Ning chatted with Gu Xi and asked about some things about the Tiger Clan, Gu Xi was also bored, so he simply introduced all the people familiar with the Tiger Clan, especially Uncle Song, Tong Qi, Yan Yan, they are all Tang Ning's relatives in the future, Tang Ning also listened carefully, and knew that Tong Xiu's mother and father were very kind to the sub-beast, and he especially liked to cook, and Tong Qi and Tong Xiu were exactly the same, but the personality was a little different, and the shy sub-beast Yan Yan ...... Listening to Gu Xi's words, he looked forward to meeting them even more.
Every time he went to a resting place, Tang Ning and Gu Xi searched for the surrounding plants together, this is already Gu Xi's habit, Tang Ning is also very happy to participate in it, there is nothing more exciting than discovering new ingredients, the two of them have a basket for each person, and they pick a little when they meet something that can be collected on the road, Tang Ning also learned from Gu Xi to make a small bag around his waist, which contains commonly used things.
"Gu Xi, you see, it's another red pepper, let's pick some more" Tang Ning has fallen in love with the taste since he ate the red pepper, and he is even more powerful than Gu Xi when he eats the pepper, if he is not afraid of getting hot, he can't wait to be full of peppers, and there are many red peppers in his back basket.
"I've picked so much, it's enough to eat on the road, and when I get to the Tiger Clan, I still have a lot of planting in my family" Gu Xi looked at Tang Ning, who had already started to do it, it seems that it is necessary to make chili sauce directly, and it has been stored in large quantities, and people from other worlds seem to love chili peppers.
Gu Xi pushed aside the grass in front of him, and looked at it at the same time, he felt that the small white flowers on these grasses were a little familiar, and the slender grass leaves were also very similar to some kind of plant, so he pinched a leaf and put it under his nose and smelled it, the rich taste of leeks came into his nose, yes, it was leeks!
"This is a leek!" Gu Xi said in surprise, pulled another one and put it under his nose and smelled it, it's a leek!
Tang Ning also came over, looked at the plants in Gu Xi's hands that were similar to grass, learned from Gu Xi's appearance, smelled it, only felt that the taste was a little heavy, and looked at Gu Xi with a question mark on his face, waiting for an explanation.
"This thing is called leeks, and it is also a kind of green leafy vegetables, which can be eaten and tastes good, but because the taste is a little heavy, there are also some people who don't like to eat it, it can be fried with gurgling bird eggs, or fried with green peppers! There are a few other practices...... "Gu Xi explained.
Tang Ning looked at Gu Xi with some admiration: "Gu Xi, you are very powerful, you know a lot of things, where is your previous tribe, it must be very powerful, right?" ā
Gu Xi nodded: "Well, it's indeed very powerful, but it's too far away." "The development of human beings will always become stronger and stronger, and the same is true in other worlds, not to mention that there are so many orcs in the other world, what kind of journey can they go in the future, Gu Xi can't imagine it, at least the current orcs are still very simple.
Tang Ning also thought that he had evoked Gu Xi's bad memories, thinking that he was sad that he couldn't go back to his previous tribe, he heard Tong Xiu say that Gu Xi came from a distant tribe, and he couldn't go back, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Then let's get it back and eat it, right?" ā
Gu Xi came back to his senses, "This one is a little old, it doesn't taste good when fried, let's find some tender ones, that is, those that haven't bloomed yet, and the color is a little more tender, pay attention when looking for them, because leeks are a little similar to other grasses, and these flowers are blooming, let's look carefully to see if there are any seeds, so that we can take them back and plant them, and we can eat them often in the future!" Gu Xi looked at the leek flowers, he had heard that leek flowers could also be eaten, but he didn't know the specific way to eat them, but he could tell Uncle Song when he went back, and when the leeks he planted at home bloomed in the future, he could let Uncle Song study and study, and now that he can collect leek seeds, he is very satisfied.
Leeks are also convenient to grow, Gu Xi has seen many people grow at home, stubble by stubble, when you want to eat it, cut a handful from above the root, the root is kept, it can continue to grow, and it will not be long before you can cut it again, and you can eat it for a long time if you plant it once.
When Huo Bai and the others came back from hunting, Gu Xi and Tang Ning had already collected a lot of leek seeds, and the two of them also cut a lot of ageless leeks, and directly fried a plate with red peppers for dinner.
Cut the leeks into small pieces, scoop a spoonful of lard in the stone pot to preheat, enlarge the green onions, red peppers, and leeks in the pot, stir-fry for a while, put the appropriate amount of ingredients, and you can get out of the pot.
The taste of leeks is matched with the spicy taste of red peppers, which is particularly fragrant, because the fried ones are a little salty, and the roasted taro tastes just right, and when there is rice, rice and fried leeks will be more delicious next year. Tang Ning chewed and ate the leek and the red pepper inside, and nodded with satisfaction, he didn't feel that he liked it so much before, but since he met Gu Xi, he felt that he was going to gain weight.
Gu Xi looked at Tang Ning's cheeks that were slightly red from eating chili peppers, his fair skin was pink, and there was a meager sweat on the tip of his nose, it was really eye-catching, didn't he look at Tong Xiu next to him, his eyes were straight? Gu Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged Huo Bai to eat and eat, Tong Bo also consciously left space for his son, poor Tong Bo was alone, missing Uncle Song. And Tang Ning didn't realize it at all, his slender fingers pinned the red hair that fell to his forehead behind his ears, the movements were good-looking, Tong Xiu had already eaten, stared at his daughter-in-law silently, and waited for his daughter-in-law to finish eating, ah...... The daughter-in-law is so seductive.
In fact, they have been on the road for a few days, Tong Xiu is newly married, and it is appropriate to be more intimate and intimate. Thinking like this, Gu Xi walked slowly, not noticing the deep eyes of Huo Bai beside him looking at him.
"Let's go a little farther away," Huo Bai ti yƬ, a pair of eyes shining and staring at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Okay, the province will disturb them" didn't notice Huo Bai's eager gaze at all, until Huo Bai took him away and came to another small lake, where there was a soft lawn......
By the time he was carried into the clear water by Huo Bai to be washed, Gu Xi was already tired, his eyes were dozing, but he had no strength, so he could only be at the mercy of Huo Bai.
When the two came back to the resting place, it was already late at night, Tang Ning was wrapped in the tiger Tong Xiu's arms and slept sweetly, only Tong Xiu opened his eyes vigilantly and took a look, seeing that it was Huo Bai, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he continued to sleep.
And Gu Xi's whole body was nested in Huo Bai's arms, he didn't want to move, squinting his eyes, sleeping very unsteadily, his hair that had not been cut for a while and had grown a little bit was still a little wet, sticking to his forehead, Huo Bai wrapped him tightly with his body, and then gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Gu Xi felt that he couldn't stand the soreness when he moved his waist, sat up, and pulled the ears of the big tiger with thick skin, Huo Bai had already woken up, and he had been making a tiger-shaped mattress responsibly, Huo Bai also tossed with him, Gu Xi was really angry, field or something...... I was really tossed to death. Leeks or something...... He shouldn't have given it to Huo Bai.
"Gu Xi, you're awake, get up quickly, we're on our way" Tang Ning woke up early, and he didn't feel comfortable at all.
"Your body is so bad! You have to exercise," Downing said very seriously.
Gu Xi silently looked at the red suspicious marks on Tang Ning's neck, and felt that his head was about to smoke, don't be so enthusiastic, okay? You'd better be a cold beauty! At this moment, Gu Xi felt that Tang Ning must be good friends with An Hua, and both of them liked to tease him!
After eating at noon, they were on the road again, but fortunately, they sat on Huo Bai's back and were soft, and they were not very tired.
They still have to hurry up and rush to the Tiger Clan, it is about to be a cold winter, Tong Xiu and Tang Ning still have to rush to build a house, and there are still many things that have not been done.
