Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dinner

The white fat man and Biao Ye communicated through pen and paper, and they both thought that staying here would encounter more danger than they expected. Biao Ye admitted that he was a little arrogant, and this time he almost fell into a pit, but he didn't miss the opportunity to correct it in time.

The white fat man was preparing the draft in his belly, and he had already thought of a reason not to rest here, and said goodbye to the old woman who was weaving cloth in the hall.

The two of them went out of the house with their front feet, and the old woman's son entered the house with their back feet.

He spoke with the simplicity peculiar to the mountain people: "Where are the two brothers going, I went up the mountain to hunt a rabbit and a pheasant, just to make up for the two younger brothers. ”

He carried two prey in the corner of his mouth, and two arrows hit the heart, and he did not waste his energy. When the rabbit walks with the pheasant, it does not experience additional pain, which is a sign of a skilled hunter.

He spoke unhurriedly, and both the white fat man and Biao Ye felt an invisible threat. If they propose to leave, this "Zhao Peng" may tear off his face and forcibly leave the three of them here. From that letter, I learned that "Zhao Peng" was the source of the family.

Biao Ye can beat his Lao Tzu "Zhao Hu", but he has no confidence in this little "Zhao Peng". In the end, humans can't compete with monsters, and it's simply wishful thinking to defeat non-humans with human strength!

"Our brother felt a little stuffy in this house, and wanted to go out for a walk, and by the way, go to the mountain stream next to it to touch some small fish." The white fat man turned very quickly, and immediately made up a reasonable reason: "My little brother loves to drink fish soup the most, the illness is like a mountain, and the illness is like a thread, and drinking some fish soup is better and better." ”

Zhao Peng listened to the white fat man's words thoughtfully, pointed to the bags in the hands of Biao Ye and the white fat man, and said, "Could it be that the two brothers, what is the guy who hunts fish in the bag?" ”

He seemed to be smiling, and under his honest face, there was an endless gloom: "You really have leisure ambitions, you don't bring dry food and clothes when you go out, and you bring the guys who eat." He then threw out another question: "Look at the two of them dressed up, but are they from the Xi Kingdom?" ”

The white fat man broke out in a cold sweat, and he suspected that he had already discovered their existence when the three of them were lurking in the grass and watching Zhao Peng dine. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he enjoys this game of caracal hunting and loves to see the desperation before the prey struggles.

Absolutely, absolutely no flaws must be exposed, otherwise, he will definitely tear his throat apart!

is about to face the white-haired brown man in the tomb, and the white fat man has never been as nervous as he is now. He had expected to encounter a soft persimmon - let them handle it, but he didn't expect to kick it hard - and almost didn't break his big toe.

The white fat man suddenly laughed and said, "The three of us brothers are actually fishermen, and we have entertained a foreign merchant by chance, and this burden and clothes are all gifts of gratitude from him to us for our hospitality. Our brother wears this clothing and feels that it is convenient to move, so he has been wearing it, although it looks a little grotesque to outsiders, but where do rough people come from so exquisite?! ”

The white fat man had the courage to put his hand on Zhao Peng's shoulder, looking like a brother, and only he knew the taste and heartbeat.

"As for going out with baggage, isn't that a very normal thing? How can you fish without bait? The bait configured by our brother is unique in the world, and catching a fish is not a matter of hand-to-hand capture? ”

Biao Ye patted his backpack, as if telling Zhao Peng that it contained the bait they had configured.

Zhao Peng hadn't let go of his suspicions, which made Bai Fat, who was relieved, worried again.

"I'm curious about your bait, I wonder if I can take a look?"

The white fat man's heart was cold, how could they have any bait, but they were just fooled, I didn't expect this Zhao to be so good and true.

Biao Ye said a little toughly: "The secret recipe of the family heirloom cannot be revealed, if you are offended, don't blame." ”

Zhao Peng's face was full of regret, and he didn't know if it was regret that he couldn't see the recipe of the bait, or other unknown purposes.

The white fat man laughed dryly a few times and pulled Biao Ye out.

They knew for the time being that this Zhao Peng would not take the initiative to attack them before they showed their feet, and this was the only advantage they could take advantage of.

The white fat man was a little lucky, but fortunately he didn't drag Wei Fang out, otherwise this lie would not have come true.

Biao Ye and the white fat man walked a long way, and looked back at the room, which was far away from the people in the room, and they should not be able to hear them.

"I didn't expect him to come back so quickly."

The white fat man said with a gloomy face: "I feel that guy wants to attack us, but fortunately, he has fulfilled the lie, otherwise he will probably attack us immediately." ”

"He may have had his eye on us for a long time." Biao Ye felt a sense of suffocation: "This place is not simple, I don't know how to get out yet, do you think of any clues?" ”

None of the secret realms are easy to mess with, and if you want to get out of the secret realm, you must at least peel off your skin. Although he narrowly escaped last time, he has no memory of how he escaped. Otherwise, it also has a reference role for the current predicament.

The white fat man shook his head: "God knows how to get out of this hellish place, if it weren't for Bi Qisi's watch...... The clues provided by the Lord Liruyi, I thought we had traveled to the Xi Dynasty. Beatis taught him a lesson enough that he began to pay attention to his words and actions to prevent angering Beatis again.

"Time is irreversible, and no one can change the past." Biao Ye shook his head, remembering what the professor had said to him.

"Wei Flails are still inside, we can't leave him behind." Biao Ye continued: "The evening may be an opportunity, and when they are asleep, we will pack up our things and hurry in the carriage." ”

"Nice proposal." The white fat man nodded and said, "Before that, we pretended that nothing had happened, and we couldn't arouse their vigilance. ”

And until then, they can't go back empty-handed. The stream in the mountain stream is unusually clear, and there are many small fish swimming around.

Biao Ye found a special plant by the stream, poisonous fish grass, a four-shuttle branch, which looks brown and is covered with dense fluff. The leaves are opposite, brownish-yellow, with jagged edges.

The white fat man helped Biao Ye and laid stones in the lower reaches of the mountain stream to temporarily block the flowing water. Biao Ye smashed the poisonous fish grass with a stone until the milky white juice seeped out. Then stand in the upstream zone and put the pounded poisonous fish grass into the water, and the poison will penetrate silently with the flowing water.

The little fish, which were cunning and nimble, moved slowly as if they were drunk, and then twitched suddenly, and their snow-white stomachs fell into the water. The floating fish went down the water, just in the way of being blocked by the stone made by the white fat man.

The fat white man grinned and threw the fish floating on the surface of the water one by one to the shore. Biao Ye found a sturdy grass as a rope and tied all the fish together, looking from a distance like carrying a string of "fishy sugar gourds".

When he was a child, he used to catch fish in the stream with his friends like he still does, which is a little knowledge he got from his childhood. More than once helped him survive in the wild, getting plenty of food.

I remember that there was a little girl in the same village at that time, who often wore braids and followed them into the wilderness. Whether it's climbing trees, touching fish, swimming, digging birds' eggs, or anything else, she has a lot of fun. It's kind of funny to think about it now, she's called ...... Called...... What's going on?

Biao Ye couldn't remember the name of the little girl with braids, after all, she was a person from two worlds. With the increase of casual time, the people and things that used to be and his trajectory are like two parallel lines that never intersect. Unable to remember the little girl's name, he simply threw it out of his mind.

The white fat man and Biao Ye sat by the stream for a while, and waited for both feet to dry out, and then carried the fish back. The straw rope woven by Biao Ye was very strong, and the fat white man put the fish on the edge of the stream to prevent them from dying. The fish, who woke up, realized that they had been caught, struggled desperately, but their strength could not shake the stone pressing on the rope - a futile resistance.

When he returned to the house, Zhao Peng greeted him and saw the "results" carried by Biao Ye at a glance. He couldn't help but smile and said: "The two brothers are really amazing, in such a little time, they have brought back so many fish, and the ancestral bait really deserves its name." ”

The white fat man responded with a smile: "Little meaning, these fish are bothered to be dealt with by Brother Tai, and cook a bowl of fish soup for my brother, as for the rest, it should be regarded as a meeting gift for the three of our brothers." ”

Zhao Peng looked very happy, took this large string of fresh fish from Biao Ye's hand and said: "The two brothers are too polite, it's a convenient thing to go out and do it, it doesn't have to be so, it doesn't have to be so ......"

When night fell, the temperature on this summer night really dropped quickly, and the white fat man stood outside the door and shivered. The fire in the house emitted light and heat, giving them plenty of heat, and the feeling inside the house was so warm that if they didn't spend the night outside, they might freeze to death.

It was Zhao Peng who cooked, and his blind old lady didn't stop weaving until Zhao Peng called her to eat. For dinner, in addition to the fish they touched, Zhao Peng also got some wild vegetables, as well as roasted pheasants and rabbits. The entrails of the pheasant and the hare are all discarded, and the appearance is shiny and charred on the outside, which makes people look appetizing. The fish is boiled in a pot, and the water flowing down the mountain stream smells particularly attractive.

Zhao Peng helped the blind old lady to sit down at the table, and the white fat man and Biao Ye also sat down. Zhao Peng happily handed over the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Why don't you see your little brother, aren't you in a daze?" ”

The white fat man had already thought of the wording, took the dishes and chopsticks in Zhao Peng's hand and said: "He is unwell and wants to sleep more, so I didn't wake him up, leave him some fish soup, and I'll bring it to him later." ”

When Zhao Peng was cooking, the white fat man was staring at him, and he didn't do anything in the process of cooking.

But they weren't in the usual place, as Beatis had said, and they were still in the tomb of the Great Tiger General.

When Zhao Peng gave him the vegetables, he hesitated.

In the bowl is a piece of well-roasted rabbit meat.

"Why don't you move your chopsticks?"

Zhao Peng looked at the white fat man with a smile, and the blind old woman closed her eyes inexplicably.

Biao Ye folded the barbecue meat in the fat man's bowl and said: "My eldest brother doesn't eat rabbit meat, I heard the elders in the family say that when he was a child, he went out to play naughtily, was trapped in the mountains, and was saved by a rabbit spirit, so he made a vow not to eat rabbit meat." ”

There is no way to verify this, Ren Biaoye made it up casually, and after he finished speaking, he stuffed the roasted rabbit meat into his mouth and chewed, chewing until his mouth was full of oil. The white fat man was worried that the delicious food he saw in front of him would be transformed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, but seeing that Biao Ye had no taboos, he also took a piece of mountain chicken and threw it into his mouth.

Zhao Peng brought a bowl of fish soup to his blind old lady and stuffed the chopsticks into her hand. The old woman fumbled with the bowl of soup, accidentally put her finger into the bowl, and hissed her finger back. Seeing this, Zhao Peng said: "Mother, what are you anxious about, you tell me, I will stuff the bowl in your hand, and it won't be burned!" ”

"Oops." The old woman replied expectantly, holding the bowl in her hand, and slowly blowing away the heat wafting in the bowl.

"Mother, is it delicious?" Zhao Peng said with a smile, and the old woman nodded and said slowly: "It's delicious, it's delicious......"

"These are fish caught by the two brothers, and I may not be able to touch these fish in half a day."
