Chapter Ninety-Two: The Hunter's Harvest
The whole Cangyue Village is still quite large, but the road leading to Ima's house is the only main road in the village that is paved with stones, no matter how you turn around, Ye Zilan easily found that road, and arrived at Imma's house after a while.
The door was still open, and she was not polite, she raised her foot and walked inside, and it was a coincidence that Ima was just about to step out of the door at this time.
The two met like this.
"Huh? New to the new arrival? It's not time to arrange for you yet, so there's no need to be in such a hurry to come here. Come back in two days and wait for me to assign it. Ima said with a blank face, and planned to go out.
Ye Zilan said: "I didn't come here to arrange with you, I have something to look for you!" ”
Ima raised her eyebrows and glared at her phoenix eyes: "Yo? Something! Hurry up and say something, now it's time for me to patrol the village, but I don't have time to spend it with you! ”
Ye Zilan raised his voice and said, "In the house arranged for me, except for a bed and half a table, it is an empty room. There is no cover, even the dust can't be cleaned, and there is nothing to pack for water, so how can we live?? ”
Ima said, "Tsk, is that your little lover unable to bear this suffering?" Understandable. Isn't it just a bucket, a basin, a plate, a broom, this kind of thing, it's easy to say. As he spoke, he continued to raise his feet to step past Ye Zilan.
Ye Zilan's figure moved, and he blocked her without giving an inch: "How easy is it to say?" When will you get back to me? ”
"Reply? Why should I answer you! Everything in this village has to be received with contribution points, as long as the contribution points are enough, you can take whatever you want here! ”
"Really, tell me how to get contribution points, or are you not going to let me get contribution points?"
"Ouch, a child like you who can't endure hardship for a day or two also wants to get contribution points? Yes, there is no place for you to work in the village now, and the most valuable thing here is food, whether you are hunting or gathering plants, you will have contribution points to get food back outside the village. ”
"Yes, you don't know how to process animal furs, and the prey you hunt is only food." Ye Zilan said in a contemptuous tone.
"Good quality fur will definitely count as a contribution point! Then you talk like you have prey, look at your sick appearance, and walk swayingly. Irma was clearly a little angry when she heard this.
Ye Zilan took out the two complete rodent skins, and had to admire He Ming for holding a thunderbolt larger than a human, but only made a small opening in the stomach of the small animal, leaving two amazingly complete skins. Say:
"I've been on the island for too short, but the prey has still been caught, and these two skins contribute more or less points, just an integer, no need to count zero."
Ima was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, and her heavy snort sounded like a cow, but she refused to admit defeat, and her mind turned slightly, and she shouted:
"The food in the village has to be distributed uniformly! You have eaten your precious meat without permission, and I should punish you!" But it's the first offense, and I didn't hide my secrets, so forget it this time. Next time there is prey, at least more than half of the food will be handed in, understand? ”
Imma, who had lost a lot of momentum, still walked past her with Ye Zilan in her arms, and said without looking back:
"You take the bucket I have here first, everything in the village is counted, and it will be given to you in two days, and you will be able to overcome it in these two days, women must be able to endure hardship!"
Then he strode out and inspected the village. Ye Zilan looked at her back and smiled.
Although it is detrimental to the image of lifting a bucket, Ye Zilan still puts the oversized bucket of Imma's house. She filled some water and brought it home, but with her current strength, she really couldn't carry it back if she had to fill a bucket of water from the well in the center of the village.
She came and went, and tossed all afternoon, and her body was still a little weak, and when she returned home, she felt very tired, and after drinking a glass of water, she really didn't have the courage to nibble on that kind of pancake, so she lay down on the bed and rested.
Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, and He Ming, the kid hadn't come back yet, Ye Zilan couldn't help but feel funny, but the various visions on this island were by no means accidental, I don't know if he would be in danger?
A pair of bright eyes smiled slightly, and when he was thinking about some trivial matters, the door was pushed open by He Ming.
This is probably the most beautiful appearance of He Ming in front of Ye Zilan's eyes: I saw a large canine with white hair, no trace of variegation, and bright fangs exposed, with a blue nose and swollen face, and a heavy burden tied to his back, which was led by He Ming with a rope around its neck, and honestly followed him at his feet.
The animal looked like it had injured one of its hind feet, which should have been injured by a slipknot set by He Ming.
Then there were still four rodent beasts on his waist that he had caught last time, and there were no obvious external injuries, but for some reason they were all dying, He Ming threw the little beast on the ground, and then tied the canine rope to the window, turned around and said to Ye Zilan like a child:
"Although I don't know much about the plants on this island, many wild vegetables and tubers are not poisonous and not unpalatable, but while I was studying the plants, this big dog dared to steal the prey I caught with the slipknot!
"It's a good thing this guy got tangled in the slipknot too, otherwise he would have eaten one of our rabbits for nothing. What do you think we should do with it? Is it stewed or roasted? ”
Hearing this, the animal actually whined and begged for mercy.
Ye Zilan sneered and laughed, and then said, "It looks like it listens to you now, so keep it, anyway, you are so capable, it's not bad for this rabbit." ”
He Ming said with some reluctance: "In this way, then listen to you." Anyway, it's not a red dog, and the meat isn't the best one, so are you going to give it a name? ”
Ye Zilan smiled: "Didn't you already call it a big dog, it heard it and responded, just barking like this, it's not a big deal." Tell me about what you learned today, and then I'll tell you what I heard. ”
Hearing this voice, the big dog seemed to be relieved, and cast a grateful and flattering look at Ye Zilan, but then it whined again, obviously having an opinion on the name, but no one would care about this kind of protest.
Ye Zilan walked towards the big dog, stretched out his hand to touch its forehead, and the big dog lowered his head as if he had a spirit and let her touch it, completely defenseless.
Ye Zilan laughed and said: "I have used the light of temptation to control how many animals have fought for me, I can't count it myself, but it is the first time to have a real pet like this, I really have to thank you this time, He Ming." ”
"I'm not sure it's going to be obedient, but now is not the time to talk about it." He Ming opened the baggage and took out various plants, and said to Ye Zilan:
"There are no ripe fruits on the island now, so I collected eleven kinds of wild vegetables in this baggage, fed them all to the rabbits, and tasted them myself. Except for these two tastes, which are more bitter and you may not like to eat, the other textures are okay. ”
The corners of Ye Zilan's mouth twitched a little and asked, "So these four guys are dying, and they were all poured food like this by you?" ”
He Ming said: "Yes, of course they didn't have any poison, they were all too full." I threw away the two that were poisoned. Would you like to try it? Anyway, we can't cook them on a fire right now, so it's okay to eat them raw. ”
"I can cook them without cooking, I don't want to eat grass like cattle and sheep here!" Ye Zilan gave him a blank look, and then began to prepare for cooking.
"Don't kill those rabbits today, just bolt them up, we've eaten too much meat in the past two days, and it sounds good to have these wild vegetables."
"Now I have to tell you about what I've found here." While she was busy processing wild vegetables, she said to He Ming: "Although I haven't seen it yet, the boys born on this island are very weak and delicate, and it is said that they can lose a piece of skin if they are too far away, and they are all locked up at home and do not go out." ”
He Ming looked at her with wide eyes, and many images that made him chill behind him instantly appeared in his mind, and he didn't speak.
"I spent an afternoon in the village, where the system is very perfect, every woman does the work that is reasonably arranged by the Ima, almost everyone is very motivated, and there are no lazy people.
"All of them get points for their performance, and they're mainly used for food, so I don't think we need to get our contribution points for those pancakes."
He Ming glared and asked, "We?" Do you want to do the same work as they do? I don't think we'll be able to stay in this kind of place for long. ”
Ye Zilan said faintly: "But now you still can't leave here, right?" We lack everything here, are you going to solve this problem by robbing? ”
He Ming changed the topic and said: "If you have to do it, it is also a way to grab it...... But I always felt that the women in this village were too tall and strong, and they were completely abnormal. ”
Ye Zilan said: "In addition, they said that at night, outside the mountain that protects this village, it will be haunted, and without the support of a certain dark force in the Marfa Continent, there will be no undead in the wilderness." ”
He Ming couldn't help but lift his spirit and asked, "Dark power?" Could it have something to do with the connection channel we came through? I thought you would kill that monster and solve the invasion of darkness. ”
Ye Zilan shook his head: "I'm just speculating that the women here are particularly strong, and the men are extremely weak, according to Taoism, it is the result of yin qi suppressing yang qi for a long time, and this yin qi refers to the breath of darkness." ”
He Ming immediately thought of that person, and unconsciously said in a tone of disgust: "Then if the interrogator is here, things may be much easier." ”
