Ahh

Hidden in a bush very close to Shen'en Village, Liao Qi suddenly sneezed for some reason.

belch

Instant vigilance.

Isn't there something bad going to happen again?

Rubbing the tip of his nose, Liao Qi glanced around.

There are a lot of blooming wildflowers in the bushes of the hiding place, and under the ecology of the island, the dense forest is filled with a faint pollen, and it is normal for me to be a little irritated by my nose after staying here for a long time.

Well, it should be a normal sneeze.

After convincing himself and feeling a little more at ease, next to Liao Qi, the fairy woman who was hiding in the bushes with him, Sophie took this opportunity and began to ask a little dissatisfied

"I said, why are we staying here?"

The sun was shining through the trees, and it was noon.

Since the little girl Emma got a job, Liao Qi had to return to the gathering place early, but on the middle road, in order to collect some necessary seasoning materials, he delayed a lot of effort, so that in the end, breakfast became lunch.

However, for the villagers, there is no difference between breakfast and lunch, because they only eat the only meal every day at the junction of afternoon and evening.

As for the reason why Sophie is whining now

Obviously, the group came to the gate of the village, but Liao Qi insisted on parting here, so he let Lot and the little girl go in with the food first, and pulled her to hide here.

Looking through the bushes and looking at the village of Divine Grace not far away, Liao Qi replied simply

"Because we're outsiders."

"Outsiders?" Sophie frowned.

"Yes, if we were around, with the temperament of these villagers, I'm afraid they would still be in the way of losing face and refuse our things, but if it was only Emma and Lot."

Liao Qi pursed his mouth and stretched out his hand to point to the open space in the village.

"If the villagers let their guard down, the whole process will be much easier." He said proudly.

Sophie looked at Liao Qi's finger and found that Lott had found several female villagers to help, and began to raise the smoke of the cooking, cooking the ingredients, and starting a fire to cook.

Such a scene has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

I saw that many villagers were first attracted by the smoke, and then watched from a distance, and found that only Lott and the little girl were there, so they quickly gathered around.

However, further on, it seems that he communicated with Lott and clarified the reason

The adult villagers were fine, but many of the young villagers quickly dispersed again, and the expressions on their faces were full of rejection, as if they did not want to join the army.

So, Sophie, who was already unhappy with Liao Qi, immediately said sarcastically

"It seems that your plan still doesn't work, and the young villagers are the real laborers, but unfortunately, they don't bite the bait."

"Huh."

Liao Qi smiled at all.

He said to the fairy woman as if he was holding the ground with a victory

"Don't worry, they will."

"Why are you so sure?"

The status quo is here, and Sophie doesn't understand the source of Liao Qi's confidence at all.

In this regard, Liao Qi just glanced at the fairy woman, and said an unchanging truth lightly.

"Because, the essence of our human beings is really fragrant!"

Lu En is an ordinary young man in the village.

He was the first to notice the return of Lot and the little girl, and immediately saw the food in their arms and on their backs.

Could it be that the alien sent it?

It's no wonder that Lu En would think so, Liao Qi and his party have only been in the past few hours, so with so many people, in addition to receiving assistance from the academy or the blood clan, where did they get so much food?

As soon as he thought of this, Lu En stubbornly wanted to look away, after all, a fool could guess the reason why the other party would send food at this point.

If you want to rely on this, you can buy us and let us die for him and crusade against monsters like the Demon Tyrannosaurus?

He's not so easy to deceive!

How could it be possible to let him fall for this trick!

Lu En really thought so in his heart, but the young man's eyes always fell, and he was strung up by little Emma and hung around his neck, several fat and big green hamster corpses.

Goo

Subconsciously touching his flat belly, Lu En swallowed and foamed.

It's been since the last time I ate meat

When is it?

People can't resist the most primitive instincts, they will always quietly affect people's consciousness, and Luen, who has never been very good at observation, has discovered another point very keenly this time.

Hey?

The alien didn't come back with them?

Lu En stretched his neck and looked hard, but except for Lot and Emma, he couldn't see Liao Qi and the goblin demon at all.

It's so weird!

If you want to tempt us, you can't not show up, right?

Is it a twist?

Or rather

Luen suddenly thought of another possibility, although it was ridiculous, but

These foods are not

Is it Lott who called them by luck?

As soon as the thought came to him, it was like turning on some kind of strange switch, and Luan decided to go over and see what was going on anyway.

Trotting all the way over, Lu En found that many villagers had joined him along the way, and like himself, the young man's heart suddenly became much more stable.

He's not hungry for meat.

He was just concerned about Lott and the little girl Emma.

Luen believes that everyone is like this!

"Lot, you are these"

In the crowd in a circle, some villagers couldn't help but ask questions to the young man who was cooking.

It is worth mentioning that although Luan was the first to discover Lott and Emma, in the end, the young man was not the first to arrive, and there were many people who arrived one step ahead of him.

"Ahh Do you ask these? These are the ones Emma and I hunted from the jungle. ”

The boy's first words made the expressions of all the villagers present lift.

But the next second.

"It's just the method that Brother Liao Qi taught us!"

Lott wasn't thick enough to take the credit on his own.

Although Liao Qi's eldest brother seemed to have something to do suddenly, asking them to go to the village to cook food first, the young man would never pretend to hide the past because Liao Qi was not there.

Even if he does so, he will be able to enjoy more praise and praise.

After that, sure enough.

The eager glances cast by the villagers at the young man were extinguished a lot, and there were even several young people in the village who were about the same age as Lot, with disdain on their faces.

They were the first to turn around and leave, and then they led many other young people who were still watching and hesitating, and they also followed the crowd and planned to leave.

Luen was one of the young people who were taken away.

After hearing Lott say that the food was still related to Liao Qi, Luen, like most of the villagers, suddenly flashed with disappointment in his eyes.

They had no intention of helping the alien human.

After all, in their eyes, it was pure madness to send to death.

Therefore, they have no reason and cannot accept other people's alms, and Lu En thinks it is better to call it "reward".

Flattened his lower abdomen, just as the young man was about to follow everyone and turn around and walk out

"Brother Luan"

A pair of small hands tugged at the corner of the young man's clothes.

Luan looked down and saw that it was the brave little girl who had impressed him, and Emma was looking at him with watery and helpless eyes.

At this time, the girl's face was sad, as if she was so hungry that she was weak, and she pleaded with the young man in a weak voice

"Brother, can you stay and help us? Emma is so hungry that if her brother can cook with us, Emma will be able to have lunch sooner. ”

As if afraid that Lu En would refuse, the little girl said again

"Not only me, my brother, but we also have to distribute food to everyone in the village, but if it is just a few of us, there will be no manpower at all."

"This, Emma I"

Lun was eager to explain to Emma why.

The villagers are not allowed to eat this food.

Because eating is equivalent to inheriting the kindness of others, so naturally you can't help others with your life, but you want them to die with one meal

The youth paused for a long time.

But in the end, I don't know what to say, after all, the girl in front of me is so small.

"Can't you, brother? I also want Uncle Harry to send it a little bit, Uncle Harry has always had bad legs and feet, always coughing, Sister Nana once said that if you drink a little more meat porridge, you can relieve Uncle's symptoms"

Emma seemed to be making a last-ditch effort.

As for Luan, he was going to refuse, but after the girl's words, especially when he heard the name "Uncle Harry", the young man swallowed it back.

Oh, yes

A meal or two may not be a big deal for a young man like them, but don't forget that there are quite a few elderly people in the village.

Uncle Harry, as Emma speaks, is the only craftsman in the village and the master that Luen respects the most.

That's right, Luan was an apprentice craftsman.

The young man has no parents since he was a child, and his parents died in a monster attack, and it was Uncle Harry who adopted him and raised him until he grew up, and the relationship between them, if not family affection, has long been better than family affection.

If these foods can help Uncle Harry's health feel better, then

Luen clenched his fists.

His eyes suddenly lit up again, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly asked the little girl

"Emma, that outsider, it's that Liao Qi's brother, did he tell you how to distribute the food, and did he restrict you from giving the food to whom?"

"No, Brother Liao Qi didn't say anything, just let us bring things back to the village and cook a meal for everyone!"

The girl nodded her little head affirmatively.

"Great!"

And sure enough, it was!

After listening to Emma's words, Luen's face instantly turned happy, because he thought he had found a loophole in Liao Qi's plan.

I don't want to watch the food run away

I don't want to die for aliens

Wouldn't it be better to distribute the food only to the children in the village and the elders with poor mobility?

In this way, even if the alien human settles accounts after the autumn, it turns out that all the people who eat his food are old people and children, and the other party can't force these people who have no combat effectiveness to go into the dense forest, right?

Yes, that's right, as long as their young people don't eat these things, alien humans can't help them!

Thinking of this, Lu En couldn't help but smile smugly, happy that he had the best of both worlds.

So he replied quickly

"In that case, my brother will stay and help you! And not only that, but my brother has to pull the others over and let everyone help together! ”

"Wait a minute, little Emma, brother will go and get everyone back!"

Lunn couldn't wait to share his idea with everyone.

Looking at the back of the young man who was running in a hurry to call someone, the helpless expression on the little girl's face gradually faded, and Emma was left with only a look of hunger and distress at an empty stomach, and a

Helpless exclamation.

Lunn's idea proved to be successful, at least immediately convincing everyone.

After a while, the young people who had left before all turned back again.

The look of disdain on their faces all vanished, and it was transformed into a kind of snickering joy as if they had taken advantage of it, and another kind of indescribable sense of evasion.

This left Lott completely confused.

The boy opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only give a thumbs up to the biggest hero next to him, little Emma.

When the manpower is sufficient, the cooking of the food is on full fire.

The boiling water is boiled in a pot, the stems and nubs are cleaned, and the small pieces are boiled in the pot and boiled into a paste, and the faint aroma of the sweet potato spreads out after a while.

As for the nuts, they are crushed into powdered minced pieces, sprinkled in a separate pot, and mixed with the vegetable leaves and planting stems to make a vegetable soup.

Of course, what made most of the young villagers, including Luen, couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, was the only meat dish, the meat of the green hamster.

These plump and fluffy hamster meat turns the original vegetable soup into a broth.

The meat pieces are stewed to a thin scale, the soup begins to appear milky white, and the rich appearance seems to have the texture of milk, and the overflowing lipid makes the soup noodles oily, plus I don't know what seasoning spices are added, so that the whole pot of broth is extremely fragrant and fragrant.

Just a glance and a sniff is enough to make these young people who haven't eaten meat for a long time move their fingers.

But

The young people in the village who were called by Lu En all resisted the impulse, and after they put the broth and sweet potato paste into bowls, they sent them to the older generation in the surrounding area one by one.

Yes, in such a big matter as the open space at the head of the village, in addition to the young people, the adult villagers have long been gathered around, trying to find out the situation.

At a glance, Luen caught a glimpse of the wrinkled faces in the crowd.

Uncle Harry is considered to be the oldest generation in the village, but in fact, he is not very old, according to Uncle Harry's own words, he is just the luckiest.

All those who were older than him, even the same age, had already died.

As the only craftsman in the village, the perennial hard work day and night and the increasingly difficult environment have left traces of old age on this uncle's body.

"Uncle and uncle, drink broth! Just out of the pot! ”

Lu En handed Uncle Harry's hands the steaming, fragrant broth to Uncle Harry.

"I'm not hungry, you can drink first."

Old Harry squeezed a smile out of his wrinkled face, and reached out to push the broth back in front of the young man.

He's an old bone of age.

These energetic young people are the real hope of the village.

But this time, Lu En didn't accept it as usual, but quickly pushed it back.

"No, no, no, uncle, I can't drink it, because, because oops, anyway, uncle, master, you drink it quickly!"

Lu En didn't want to waste any more effort to explain, he was a little anxious to urge the master in front of him.

And old Harry didn't ask much, but after a pause, he didn't take the broth, but took another thing from Zai Luen's hand.

A wooden spoon.

"In this way, I will feed you a sip, and if you drink it, it will be me who drinks." Old Harry squinted and smiled.

"Ah, master, how old am I! Why do you still think I'm a child! ”

Luen's reaction was fierce, and he was first shocked and complained about his master.

But

"You stinky boy, you dislike me, don't you! How many times have you peed on the bed over the years, and I still wipe it for you."

Old Harry glared at the young man.

As for Lu En, he didn't want to be exposed, his face was full of panic, and he hurriedly agreed to stop the uncle from talking further.

"Okay, I'll take this sip."

Looking at the crystal soup in front of him that was slowly filled with a spoonful of it by his master, Lu En moved his throat hard, and he kept comforting himself from the bottom of his heart.

only

Just one bite

Just take this sip secretly, no one knows

Goo

Old Harry put the broth into the young man's mouth.

Then, Lune's eyes widened.

The moment the tip of the tongue touched the gravy, Luen's dry taste buds exploded in an instant, which was an instinctive stimulus, and the soft and rotten flesh between the teeth seemed to be the most beautiful thing in the world.

"How's it taste?" Old Harry asked knowingly, just by looking at the expression of enjoyment on his apprentice's face.

"It's really fragrant."

The young man pondered for a while, but he was very unconfident, and replied stumblingly.

Luan found himself wrong.

This delicacy

It's simply not something that humans can refuse.

It seems to have read the longing in the eyes of the young man who was not aware of it, or perhaps the old Harry had planned it this way in the beginning.

"Haha, look at your stupid appearance, let's go, stinky boy, let's go over there, one person and half will be divided, anyway, no one knows, you say to the outside world that I drank it all, and it will be counted on my head."

Patting Luen on the shoulder, old Harry limped towards his little wooden shed with the still dazed teenager.

Such scenes also happened in various places in the village of Divine Grace.

The original idea of these young people in the village was good, and only the older and younger generations should eat Liao Qi's food.

can

In the end, in the corners that no one can see, the older generation secretly gives them to the younger ones, and the children quietly divide them among the older ones.

Everything was done in secret, and no one said it.

But the end result of this is:

Bowls of broth flowed through the village, and eventually, no "one kind" group became the monopoly, but was silently and evenly distributed into the stomachs of each villager.

Outside the village, you can look down on the bushes of the entire village.

After seeing this scene, Sophie fell silent, and it was a long time before she asked Liao Qi

"Is that all part of your plan?"

"Sort of."

Liao Qi shrugged.

He wasn't really worried that the villagers would really not eat his food.

Because hunger is his biggest hole card.

As long as the food is there, no matter how much you resist, you will eventually find a suitable excuse for yourself under the guidance of your subconscious.

And as soon as there is the first excuse

The box could not be contained.

"However, what if the villagers don't admit it when the time comes, you can also see it, at least on the visible side, it's just that the children and the elders who have no ability to move have drunk."

Sophie still asked Liao Qi puzzled.

But under this question, Liao Qi laughed out loud.

"Miss Sofelle, you seem to have overlooked another point, do you know why these villagers have to go to such great lengths and so complicated back and forth to eat my food?"

"Why?"

The elven woman's emerald green eyes stared at the village gathering place.

"Because they still have a conscience in their hearts, they know that if they eat my food, they have to do something for me, so they don't want to eat my food, and this is why in the end, they will still eat my food."

Liao Qi's words may sound very winding.

But after a frown, Sofelle's expression slowly loosened, as if she understood something.

But

Liao Qi's words are not over yet

I saw him get up from the bushes, which was a sign that they could end their hiding and get ready to play.

Inky black eyes scanned the village.

Liao Qi lightly added his ending.

"And Miss Sophie, do you know that in this world, good people are the best to deceive."
