Chapter 5: The Great Lord of a Million
Food is like a toilet, you don't care when you don't need it, and you can only appreciate the preciousness and greatness of both when you need it.
What should I do if my child is always picky and can't eat well? It's very simple, you can eat a dry steamed bun after three days of starvation, just like a vicious dog pounces.
For example, now, Lesting did not eat any more after eating a bamboo worm, but swallowed her saliva while distributing the bamboo worms in the pot to the children, everyone had the same number and was impartial.
The children are also very self-conscious, with the younger ones coming first and the older ones coming in the back. The girl who had given Leon half a chaff cake was last in line, and sensing Leon's gaze, she turned her head and smiled in gratitude, then looked forward to the food made of worms as if she were looking forward to candy.
People who can have a grateful heart can't be any worse, and these children in front of them have a character that their peers don't have.
The children ate the food they had been given carefully, and although they were quiet, their eyes shone brightly like never before. They didn't know that there was something more delicious in the world than bran bread, so that they unconsciously smiled happily on their faces as they ate them.
"Demon race...... "O Demon," Li Ang sighed, "What is the difference between it and humans?" ”
"What are you muttering about?" Lesting stretched out her hand and handed over a few bamboo worms: "Oh, this is your share." ”
Leon looked at the pot, and there were only some fragments of bamboo insects left, and the girl gave all the whole fat bamboo insects to the children, leaving only a little scrap for herself.
"You haven't eaten much, so I'll leave it to you." Leon smiled and rejected Lesting's kindness.
The maid girl raised her eyebrows: "You said it yourself, then I'm welcome!" ”
As she spoke, she took back Li Ang's share of the bamboo worms, and was about to raise her hand to eat them. But when it was brought to his mouth, he stopped and said in wonder, "Are you really going to give me the food?" Humans shouldn't be like that. ”
Leon asked curiously, "What should humans be like?" ”
"Mean, greedy, lustful, cowardly!" Lesting said with a look of disdain.
"Uh......" Li Ang was speechless for a while, and then said without hesitation: "You demons are no better!" ”
"Oh?" Lesting asked with a dark face, "Tell me, what do you humans think of the demons?" ”
"Brutal, rude, savage, crazy!"
Lesteen was furious: "Nonsense! Do you think so too? ”
"It used to be like this."
Lesteen glared at her fiercely, her eyes were about to burst into flames, and there was a tendency to "convince people with reason" if she didn't agree with her. Well, it's physics.
"Wait, don't be in a hurry." Li Ang was startled, and hurriedly said, "I thought that way before, but now it's not." ”
"Oh?" Lesteen's brows twitched twice, as if she didn't quite believe it: "Humans are paranoid, your mind can be changed so easily?" ”
Li Ang smiled bitterly: "Whether you believe it or not, but what I say is true." Tirio. Ferding once said that there are the noblest demons in this world, and there are also the lowest humans, and races do not represent glory, let alone good and evil. I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to understand a little. ”
"Race does not represent glory, let alone good and ......evil," Lesting repeated, her expression became subtle, and the state of the fried hair just now calmed down. She let out a long sigh and asked faintly, "Tirio. Who is Fordin? ”
"High Lord, Paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand."
"Paladin? Can such a stold-fashioned place of the Holy See of Light accommodate such a person? Knights of the Silver Hand, why haven't I heard of it? Lesting asked three times in a row and then waved her hand in a relaxed manner: "Forget it, these have nothing to do with me anymore." That Tirio. Is Ferding still alive? ”
"Dead. was ambushed by the enemy, but the two groups of reinforcements lost the best rescue opportunity because of mutual suspicion, and they watched him die. ”
"Haha, what a pretty 'human' way to die. The nobler the person, the sooner they die, I am not surprised at all. Lesting laughed and said, and sighed after laughing: "It's a pity, if he is still alive, he will definitely be able to talk to his father." ”
"Father?" Leon asked curiously, "Your father?" ”
Lesting glared at Li Ang and said coldly: "Being keen to snoop on other people's privacy is also one of the vices of human beings!" ”
Li Ang touched his nose, estimating whether he should have a favorability or not enough.
Lesteen angrily ate the rest of the bamboo worms, although she devoured them, but there was no waste at all, and it could be seen that this girl cherished food very much. After eating, she licked her fingers and said to Li Ang defiantly: "See, it's all eaten, it's gone, you continue to starve!" ”
Li Ang realized that the other party's age didn't seem to be very old, but he usually looked much more mature with a straight face. At this moment, I am probably in a good mood after eating a full stomach, but I actually showed a hint of a little daughter's demeanor.
"Look at what! Look at it again, gouge out your eyeballs! After just one glance, Lesting immediately scolded viciously.
Well, retract the preamble. The little daughter's demeanor doesn't exist at all!
Leon raised his chin and replied in the same defiant tone, "If I told you that these bugs were just appetizers, and there were even more delicious things to eat, would you regret eating too much now?" ”
Lesteen was dumbfounded: "You, what you said is true?" ”
"If you really try it, you'll know." Li Ang smiled: "You should know the bamboo forest in the east." Although you have plucked the bamboo leaves and swept away everything you can eat on the ground, what I speak of is buried deep in the ground! ”
"Underground?" Lesteen habitually thought of the insect again: "Is it an earthworm?" ”
"Well, although earthworms can be eaten, the amount of that thing is too small, and it is troublesome to catch, so forget it." Li Ang raised his chin and wrote an ancient poem: "Good bamboo even the mountains feel the fragrance of bamboo shoots, there must be bamboo shoots, that thing is much better than insects, but it is a real wild mountain treasure." ”
"Bamboo shoots?" Lesteen was confused: "What's that?" Can you really eat it? Don't spoil the kids. ”
Li Ang rolled his eyes, the natives of another world are indigenous, and the people in the city can't eat authentic wild bamboo shoots, this girl is afraid of eating people badly, could it be that there is paranoia of victimization? You say that you are poor and white, who can harm you, and what do you want? Isn't this salty and eating radish lightly worrying?
Immediately ignoring her, Li Ang waved to the children: "Come with me, I'll take you to find something delicious!" ”
As a result, none of the children moved, just stood there and looked at Lesting, which embarrassed Li Ang.
Leon only gave them one meal, while Lesteen gave them countless meals. Maybe Leon's meal was better, but that wasn't a reason for them to "betray" Lesting. Relatives and distances should not be measured by material, these children are not little white-eyed wolves, who is their real relatives, they know in their hearts.
So although it was very embarrassing, Li Ang was not angry at all, but admired this group of little girls more and more.
But Leon's embarrassment became a sign of Lestin's victory, and she curled the corners of her mouth, first glanced at Leon smugly, and then nodded at the children.
The children cheered, led by the child who had given Leon half a piece of chaff and followed him towards the bamboo grove to the east.
After walking a few steps, Li Ang suddenly stopped, turned back to Lesting and said, "You know? High Lord Tirio. Although Fording is dead, countless young people have inherited his Ashen Bringer, from a new paladin to a great lord who has grown into a revered lord. The body can be destroyed, but the spirit lives on, and Fordin is not dead, he is living in everyone's heart! ”
(Well, it's embarrassing to be busy and embarrassed just after opening a new book.) Cheekily begging for a ticket, hehe! )
