Chapter 223: The Snake Catcher
Li Canghai smiled and said: "Brother Cook is inevitably judged by his appearance, maybe these two people look lazy and delicious on the surface, maybe when they encounter danger, they will fight to protect the master!" ”
The cook snorted disdainfully and said, "Will they fight to the death to protect the master? You really think so highly of them! Along the way, I have already seen through them! They all had to rely on the princess's support, otherwise they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish! ”
Speaking of this, the cook said with a sad face: "There are also the princess and the spirit queen, these two are really difficult to serve." ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Canghai asked.
The cook looked around and said cautiously: "You are not from our Dongying, so you don't know the temper of our princess, she has been willful since she was a child, and her face is like this weather, and she will change when she says it." One moment, she greeted you with a smile, but the next moment, her face immediately changed. After this disaster, the princess still wants to eat delicacies, where do you say to get those delicacies on this desert island? It was the wild boar, most of which was given to the princess, and we could only drink the broth. ”
Li Canghai nodded, from the fact that the princess had let people destroy the tribute before, it can be seen that this princess's willfulness is absolutely extraordinary.
The cook snorted and said very unhappily: "And that Lingji, because she is the princess's personal maid, she doesn't take everyone in her eyes, and she dictates everywhere, which is really annoying to me!" ”
After Li Canghai listened, he patted the chef on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother cook, don't be too angry, being on a desert island is already depressing." However, things will change after all, maybe when you get to Datang. You can achieve your life goals! ”
"Well, I hope so. I've had enough of these days! The cook sighed, and suddenly said, "I forgot to ask." What are you doing here? ”
Li Canghai patted his head and said with a sigh: "I've been chatting with the chef for a long time, and I almost forgot the purpose of my visit." To tell you the truth, I'm a little hungry and want to come to the chef to ask for some food, I wonder if the chef has any leftovers? ”
After talking to Li Canghai for half a day, the cook had a good impression of Li Canghai, he picked up the weed, handed it to Li Canghai and said, "Ah." That's the surplus. ”
Li Canghai was stunned, he looked at the stove, and suddenly smiled: "Brother cook, I'm not a rabbit, I can't eat this wild vegetable." ”
"But right now, there's only wild vegetables here. To be honest, in two more days, I won't even be able to eat this weed cake! The cook shook his head.
Li Canghai pointed to a porcelain bowl on the stove and said, "Big brother cook." Isn't there meat in this bowl? Why don't you give me a little bit of it, otherwise how will this wild vegetable be swallowed! ”
Seeing this, the cook hurriedly walked over and held the porcelain bowl in his arms. "That's not going to work." This is the snake soup made for the princess before, and the princess still has to eat it! ”
"The princess actually eats snake soup?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.
The cook said triumphantly: "That's because I made the snake soup into the taste of bear's paw, and the princess can't eat it!" ”
"Oh? I didn't expect the chef to have such skills? Li Canghai smelled the aroma of the snake soup. The worms in his abdomen were suddenly hooked out.
After thinking about it, Li Canghai said, "Big brother cook." If I get a snake, can you make it for me? ”
The cook tilted his head. said: "If you get it, I will naturally do it for you." However, snakes on this island are not so easy to catch. ”
"Just a few snakes, what's so difficult, you wait for me here, I'll go and catch it for you!" Li Canghai said with his hands in full swing.
The cook hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If you go to catch snakes, be careful." When I went to catch snakes, I saw a monster with red eyes, and it was very scary. ”
"Oh? What kind of monster? Li Canghai asked.
The cook's face turned a little pale, as if he remembered something terrible, and he said in horror: "That monster is hiding in the cave, with several heads, and eyes the size of lanterns, so it is not scary! ”
Li Canghai smiled disappreciatively and said, "If there is really a monster, I really want to see it!" Where's that monster you're talking about? ”
"A swamp east of the shrine, where there are a lot of snakes, but it's not easy to catch. The monster is hiding in the cave, and if you go, you'd better bring your weapons, or it's dangerous! The cook advised.
"Thank you Brother Cook for reminding me, I'm going now, farewell!" With that, Li Canghai left the backyard.
Back in the house, Wanyu had already woken up, and when she saw Li Canghai coming, she was about to leave with the bronze ancient sword, and hurriedly asked, "Childe, where are you going?" ”
Li Canghai smiled at her and said gently: "You are weak, I'll get you some good things to make up for your body." ”
"Childe, wait a minute, Wanyu wants to go with Childe!" Wanyu jumped off the bed and said.
"No, you better get some rest. I'm enough for one person. Li Canghai smiled slightly.
Wanyu hesitated and said worriedly: "Childe, you have to be careful!" ”
Li Canghai nodded at her, then picked up the bronze ancient sword and left the room.
To the east of Penglai Island, about six or seven miles away from the shrine, it is a low-lying place.
Li Canghai carried a simple basket woven by the cook on his back and walked through the forest with difficulty, but he walked for several hours for a distance of six or seven miles, until night fell, and he came to a low-lying place.
Looking up at the night, Li Canghai hesitated in his heart.
It is said that there are many strange things on this island, only the vicinity of the shrine is a safe place, and now that night is falling, I am here alone, and I don't know if I will encounter any danger.
Li Canghai thought about it for a while, and felt that since he had already boasted about Haikou in front of the cook, wouldn't it make him laugh if he returned empty-handed like this?
Thinking of this, Li Canghai suddenly made a decision, since he came, he would have to get a few snakes back, so that he could talk about the past.
Li Canghai took out the fire fold, found a wooden stick, took out the wine gourd that Linlin had prepared for him on Yingzhou Island before, poured the liquor on the wooden stick, and made a simple torch.
"Thinking of my fame, if I can't even catch a few small snakes, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth?" Li Canghai muttered a few words, then picked up the torch and walked towards the low-lying swamp.
Li Canghai bent his waist and carefully played among the grass.
Not long after, Li Canghai found many faded snake skins in the grass.
Some of the skins have long since weathered, while others are still relatively intact, reflecting a little bit of light in the light of the fire, which makes the scalp tingle. (To be continued.) )
