Chapter 5: Beast Meat
As for why the snitch appeared in Lingyun Courtyard during the day, the people of the Lingyun faction did not say, probably because they did not catch the snitch and made the sect lose face, so they didn't want to say anything more to the townspeople, so they simply calmed people's hearts, and after saying something to calm people's hearts, they let people disperse.
However, someone still revealed the news later, after all, many of the official disciples of the Lingyun Sect are from the town, and among the people who watch the excitement are their fathers and mothers, and they can not say anything to others, if their fathers and mothers ask, they will have to say it.
It turned out that Elder Su rushed to Qingmo Town early this morning in order to capture the snitch and restore stability to the town.
As soon as Elder Su arrived at Lingyun Courtyard, he first asked someone to take him to investigate the treasure house of Lingyun Courtyard, preparing to explore the environment in which the snitch committed the crime first, and see if he could arrange it in advance, so that he could easily take down the snitch, but as soon as he opened the door, he was startled, and the snitch actually fell asleep in the treasure house!
In the treasure house of Lingyun Academy, there are not only various exercise cheats, but also some precious treasures, including a jar of fine wine offered by the Liu family, which is stored in the treasure house and is ready to be brought back to the sect to be enjoyed by the higher-ups.
And at this time, the jar was opened, and the jar fell to the ground, and a lot of the wine in it was spilled on the ground, and the ground was wet, and the snitch, dressed in black, had his back to the door, and fell asleep beside the jar.
When Elder Su saw it, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and was about to take him down.
But the snitch reacted quite quickly, as soon as the door opened, he had already woken up, and when he turned his head, he had already put on the mask, looking at Elder Su and the others who came in, the drowsiness suddenly subsided, and he immediately understood what was going on.
The disciples were shocked, they didn't expect the snitch to be so bold, just come here to steal things, even if they slept here, they didn't even take the Lingyun Sect in their eyes!
"Why are you still stunned! Chase!" Elder Su was also a person who had lived for nearly a hundred years, and he reacted instantly, and hurriedly beckoned his disciples to chase the snitch with him.
Then everyone and the snitch fought in the courtyard, the snitch was extraordinary, not only injured a disciple, but also escaped from the courtyard smoothly, and the next thing is what everyone who watched the excitement knows.
"Do you see what he looks like?" someone asked.
"No, he had his back to the door of the treasury and put his mask on as soon as he opened the door. ”
Chen Mu was amazed after listening to it, this snitch was estimated to be stealing the cheats of the exercises, and when he saw that there was wine, he couldn't help but drink it secretly, but the amount of alcohol was not good, and he couldn't walk when he was drunk, so he lay down in the treasure house of Lingyun Temple for a night.
"Oh no! I'm going to deliver the knife!" He suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, and he had confirmed that Sister Qingyan was okay, so he squeezed out of the crowd with the knife.
Walking and walking, I felt that it was not very convenient to hold the knife, and I was about to carry it with one hand, when I found that something had fallen, and Chen Mu remembered that something had reached my chest just now.
He picked it up and found that it was a delicate jade pendant, with the word "Tang" engraved on it, some patterns around it, and a red rope tied to it.
"Who is this jade pendant?" Chen Mu pondered, he remembered that when something appeared on his chest at that time, there was a black shadow passing by him, and he didn't even see what it was.
He thought about it for a long time, and an uncertain answer flashed through his mind, "Could it be the snitch?"
"Yes, only the snitch has such a fast speed, Elder Su and they haven't come in yet, and the people standing with me are all people who know each other in the town, no one has such a fast speed, it must be the snitch!"
Thinking of this, he quietly put this piece of jade pendant that may be a snitch into his pocket, this kind of thing is not easy to take out and show to others, the jade pendant is a high-end item at a glance, how can a poor boy like him have it, he can't explain the origin, and he may be suspected of colluding with the snitch, and then cause a lot of trouble.
Grandpa had already told him about this situation earlier, so he didn't plan to show this jade pendant to others, as for how to deal with it in the future, he wanted to wait for grandpa to come back.
walked all the way to Li Qianshan's house, and saw Li Qianshan basking in the sun at the door, the hunting team did not come back, and he had nothing to do today.
Chen Mu glanced at Li Qianshan and found that he was lying on a chair with squinting eyes, basking in the sun, and didn't notice that someone was coming.
Chen Mu walked to Li Qianshan's side, and could faintly smell the smell of meat wafting from the house, he couldn't help but move his nose, and said, "Grandpa Li, the knife master you want has been prepared." ”
Li Qianshan opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw that it was Chen Mu, he smiled at him, stretched slowly, and then said: "Xiao Mu is here! Master Huo's speed is really getting faster and faster, come, let me see!"
Taking the knife from Chen Mu's hand, he removed the paper wrapped around the knife, and a thick knife appeared in front of him, the blade was black, only the blade was white, there was no extra decorative pattern, but it looked very atmospheric.
Li Qianshan praised: "Not bad, not bad!"
"Let me see how it feels. Li Qianshan got up and went back to the house, and Chen Mu also followed.
As soon as I entered the house, the smell of meat filled the whole room, and on the walls hung several pieces of smoked beast meat of different varieties, which Li Qianshan had obtained when he helped the hunting team clean up the prey.
Chen Mu almost drooled out, he swallowed his saliva and continued to follow Li Qianshan to the kitchen.
Li Qianshan rinsed the knife with water, and then wiped the water dry with a dry cloth, and then took out a piece of meat connected to the bones, only to see him holding the handle of the knife, and the blade shuttled back and forth between the bones and flesh, separating the bones and flesh in a few clicks.
"Good knife!" Li Qianshan cleaned the knife, wrapped the bones and meat with two pieces of paper, tied the rope and handed it to Chen Mu, "You can take the bones and meat to eat with Master Huo, the bones can be boiled into soup, and the meat can be boiled and eaten." ”
"You are not in good health, take this tonic, but don't eat too much, it's easy to overdo it. Li Qianshan reminded.
Chen Mu carried the knife money paid by Li Qianshan, and carried the bones and flesh of the fierce beast in his hand, and trotted back to the blacksmith shop.
gave things and money to Huo Gang, Chen Mu began to carry water again, sometimes when he came back and met a guest at the door, he went up to greet him, and if he had something to send, he went to deliver something, until it was almost dark, and he ended carrying water.
Although he picked up water for a day, the water tank was almost out of water, because Huo Gang had been using it.
It was almost dark and the door was about to close, so Huo Gang and Chen Mu scooped out all the water from the water tank to clean the tools.
At night, the sparks of the oil lamp on the table splashed gently, and Chen Mu and Huo Gang's father and daughter ate the fierce beast meat sent by Li Qianshan, and the animal bones were boiling in the pot, ready to eat steamed buns tomorrow morning.
Because Chen Xian was often not at home, Huo Gang had a good relationship with Chen Xian, so he naturally took care of Chen Mu's eating and drinking, so Chen Mu ate three meals a day at Huo Gang's place.
The beast meat has strong energy, Chen Mu didn't dare to eat it again after eating two pieces, he couldn't digest it if he ate too much, but it hurt his body, and then he only ate green vegetables.
Huo Qingyan is different, don't look at her, she only ate one steamed bun in the morning, but when she ate the fierce beast, she ate one piece after another, eating seven pieces in a row, more than Huo Gang ate.
Although Huo Gang is physically strong, he has never cultivated, and his body's ability to absorb the flesh of fierce beasts is not as good as that of a cultivator like Huo Qingyan.
The monks have a great demand for ferocious beast meat, but the ferocious beast is not something that ordinary people can afford, Li Qianshan can only get a few pieces because he helps clean up the prey, and few other ordinary people can afford it, after all, this ferocious beast meat is hunted by the hunting team at the risk of their lives, and the price is naturally expensive.
After eating, the meat of the fierce beast was in his stomach, Chen Muzhi felt as if his body was on fire, his face was flushed, and he was burning badly, he couldn't help but take off his coat and fan his face with his hand.
After sitting in the blacksmith shop for a while, Chen Mu said goodbye to Huo Gang.
With the light through the windows of the people on the street, accompanied by the cool breeze blowing from the street, Chen Mu suddenly felt much more comfortable and slowly walked back home.
After a tiring day, he was in no mood to do anything else, and fell asleep soon after lying in bed.
