"Huh?"

In the face of Lai's inquiry, "sweet potato" replied blankly, it is indeed slightly spiritual, but it is difficult to understand such a complex issue after all.

As for Lai, after reacting, he immediately pushed open the door and chased him out, but when he arrived in the yard, he looked around blankly, but where could he still find Cheng Lin's figure?

"I'll go out for a while, and you'll be at home and wait for me to come back."

With the parting words of "Ezreal the Explorer" echoing in his mind, Rai could only return to the room with great trepidation, and then stared at the hearth in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but the fire in the furnace gradually went out and the temperature became colder.

The sweet potato has already picked up the animal skin on the ground with its mouth, then jumped on the earthen kang, laid it out, curled itself up in a ball, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Rai also wiped away his tears, silently put away the dishes, and made sure that the fire in the ashes had been extinguished, and then climbed onto the kang with a heart full of concern.

He put the skin on his body, but he could not sleep.

Just leaning against the window and looking out through the gap.

was stunned to find that there was a goose feather snow outside the window.

……

……

In the winter in the territory of the ice dragon Grad, snow is commonplace.

The people in the village have a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early, and by this time the lights of every house have long been extinguished, and the whole village is shrouded in darkness.

Only in the distant city of Udon there was a slight glimmer of light.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The cold wind swept the snowflakes and paved the road surface of the village thickly, which sounded thick but not very cold.

Time seemed much duller in this cold winter, and when the next morning sun shone through the window into the low and cramped earthen house, Lai, who was curled up by the window and fell asleep, was awakened by the cry of "sweet potato".

"Hmm."

He reached out and rubbed his eyes, and then he saw the dog barking at the window.

"Could it be that Ezreal is back?"

Lai was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the earthen kang and pushed open the window with both hands, the window of the house is a "plank" made of many wooden sticks horizontally, similar in shape to a "shutter", the upward side is tied to the wall, and it can be propped up with a wooden stick during the day and put down at night.

Pushing open the window, Layton was stunned by the white light outside.

The snow had stopped, but the mountains were covered in snow, reflecting a dazzling light in the sun.

In the cry of the sweet potato, Rai heard a familiar, slightly old voice: "Rai? Are you up? ”

The young man was slightly stunned, and heard that it was the voice of the village chief.

He hurriedly answered, and then ran to open the door, and saw a "dragon servant" with a face covered with white hair standing outside the courtyard.

It was obviously an old man...... Behind him stood two strong dragon servants, two of the villagers who had gone into the mountains with him yesterday to hunt.

Rai looked wide-eyed, but didn't see Ezreal.

So his face was immediately full of disappointment.

"What happened? I'm going to see that dragon servant you picked up, how is he? Have you recovered? The village chief asked.

Hearing him say this, Lai's eyes were slightly red, he nodded, and shook his head again, causing the village chief and the villagers of the two hunting teams to be surprised for a while.

During their questioning, Lai invited them into the house.

Then he wiped his tears and told the story of last night as it was.

"What? You say he claims to be from another continent? An explorer? ”

"He almost ran out of your food and used it to make a pot of porridge? Very, very tasty porridge? ”

"He said to solve the problem of food for you, and asked you to wait at home? …… Didn't return overnight? ”

Standing in a cramped house.

After listening to Lai's account, the village chief first showed a shocked expression, and then he was heartbroken:

"Are you stupid? Do you believe this lie? This is obviously a lie to you! ”

The other two villagers also nodded and agreed:

"yes, you can believe such a false word? Did you really wait for him all night? ”

"What am I talking about? At that time, I warned you, don't save him, don't save him, what happened? Deceived your food and left, what do you do next? How will you survive this winter? ”

Facing the villagers, Lai hung his head and could only protest in a low voice: "But the food he cooks is really delicious......

"That's because you're too knowledgeable! You and Uncle Sang had the pleasure of having a meal in Udon two years ago, and that was called food, and I haven't forgotten it for two years...... He probably does have some skills, but he can fool a child like you who has never seen the world. ”

A villager said with hatred that iron is not steel.

"I'm not a kid anymore."

"You're still hard-mouthed?" The villager sighed helplessly, "And he said that he is from another kingdom, well, even if there is really a land outside the dragon kingdom in this world, how far should it be?" Can you come to us from such a far away, how can such a strong person be poisoned by a mere poisonous fruit? You picked it up? ”

Lay stopped talking.

At this time, he also felt that this place was full of doubts, and the flame of hope in his heart was finally completely extinguished.

"Okay, don't talk about it."

The village chief sighed, fell silent, and said:

"It's happened, he's definitely not coming back, so, San, you wait for me and bring some food."

"This ......"

"What do you see, I'm old and don't eat much, so I can't let Lai starve to death, right?"

The villager named Sang pursed his lips and said, "Let's go hunting today, let's come back later, and go deeper to hunt more prey." ”

"No! What if you don't come back if you go inside? Is hunting that easy? The village chief glared.

"But we're already a lot behind, and we're going to hand in the winter food in two days, and we'll have to go to the jungle to get enough supplies." Sang said.

Lai originally hung his head, but then he raised it and said, "I'll go today." ”

"Where are you going? You are not yet an adult, you don't have enough physical strength, you just entered the mountain yesterday, and you will go again today? Can you move? Rest at home! ”

"But ......"

Seeing that there was another quarrel in the house.

Suddenly, the "sweet potato" who was squatting on the ground and drooping his ears suddenly raised his dog's head, his ears were also ridged, and his nose moved.

Suddenly he turned his head and ran to the door, scratching the door frantically with his two front paws, and at the same time let out a cry of excitement.

"Woohoo!"

This unusual scene silenced the crowd.

Lai couldn't help but scold, but the sweet potato didn't listen at all, just scratched the door more frantically.

Immediately afterward, several people in the house heard more barking dogs in the village.

All of a sudden, the hounds of the whole village barked!

"What happened?"

The village chief was stunned and sensed that something was wrong.

"Go out and have a look!"

The villager named Sang strode to the door and pushed the door hard, and in an instant, his tall body trembled and let out an exclamation, as if he had seen an unbelievable scene!

"Oh my God! What is that?! ”

When everyone saw this, they hurriedly rushed over.

Squeeze out the door together.

Came to the courtyard.

Immediately, all the dragon servants, including the village chief and Lai, were stunned!

I saw that in the direction of the forest, between the desolate mountain roads covered with snow.

A black figure was slowly approaching.

The shadow was thin and thin...... At least for the stout and clumsy dragon servants.

It's just that at this moment, the thin figure exudes a shuddering atmosphere.

That's bloody gas!

I saw that the figure was walking in front, but in his right hand he was holding a "rope" woven with withered yellow vines, and about ten meters behind the rope, there was a "mountain of meat"!

Or "corpse mountain" is more appropriate!

It was a huge house, and it was made up of all kinds of beasts!

Tied up with vines at random, at a glance, there are hundreds of all kinds of large beasts alone!

They were obviously all dead, and the blood on their bodies had already coagulated in the cold wind, but the thick bloody qi could not be frozen, and with the pull of the figure, a clear blood mark was torn out on the mountain road after the snow.

Like a bright red stroke on white paper.

And the figure leading this corpse mountain looks like a leisurely stroll, slowly stepping on the snow, and the weight behind him is like a thousand pounds, but it seems that he can't slow down his pace.

As he approached, the bloody aura grew thicker and thicker, and the hounds of the village barked wildly.

The villagers were also alarmed, and they came out of their yards one after another, rushing to this side, and when they saw this scene clearly, they all showed a look of horror.

The hunters in the village, in particular, quickly identified the species of the beasts.

"It's an iron thorn pig!"

"Five-flowered deer!"

"Ice Bear!"

"Oh my God, there's the Black Tiger! How the hell did this hit?! ”

In the small courtyard of the Lai family, the villagers of the two hunting teams were already shocked and speechless, they knew Cheng Lin and knew the ins and outs, but this did not reduce the shock in their hearts, but they were even more shocked.

This "freak" who calls himself "Ezreal" has really returned?

He didn't run away?

He didn't cheat on Rai?

He is not a "weak freak" as he thinks he is, let alone an "odious liar" but a mysterious powerhouse?

To be able to slaughter so much prey, even some powerful dragon servants in Udon who have mastered dragon magic can't do it, right?

"This ...... It's all you...... You ......"

Seeing Cheng Lin dragging this mountain of meat to the gate of the small courtyard, looking at them through the open wooden fence gate, the village chief finally couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Lin glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Of course." ”

After saying that, he leaned over and touched the head of the dog of the "sweet potato" that ran to his leg in a crazy circle.

immediately looked at the stunned young man Lai, stuffed the vine in his hand into his hand, and said in a slightly tired tone:

"The food promised you for the winter, these beasts are really well hidden...... In addition, it was snowing at night, so I thought I would be able to come back before dawn, but it was delayed until now. ”

Hearing his faint words, Rai finally came back to his senses.

He secretly pinched his leg in disbelief, and then a sharp pain hit.

But he was not astonished, but stammered:

"Izawa...... Mr. Ezreal...... This ......"

"It's all yours."

"Yes...... That's too much, I ...... I can't finish the sweet potatoes and I......"

Lay said with a sad face that he never imagined that one day he would worry about too much food to eat.

"That's ......"

Cheng Lin groaned, then glanced at the village chief and the two villagers standing on the side, and said with a smile:

"You said there was a shortage of meat in the village...... Well, I think that's enough to make up ......."

"But that's still too much...... Too much......"

"That's a lot...... That ......"

Cheng Lin was slightly stunned, thought about it with some embarrassment, looked at the old elder, and said:

"In that case, how about we get the whole village to have a full meal tonight?"

Before the village chief could come to his senses, Rai nodded happily.

Immediately, he remembered something, and asked eagerly, "Dinner...... Or do you do it? ”

"Hmm......"

Cheng Lin looked at the young man's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.

If you can eat it with the whole village...... The first word that popped up in Cheng Lin's mind was "killing pigs...... But there is a clear lack of necessary ingredients, such as sauerkraut......

Pure meat...... Although these villagers may not care, it does not conform to Cheng Lin's own basic aesthetic of things......

What should we do?

Cheng Lin pondered for two seconds, and suddenly had an idea.

So, he nodded in Lai's expectant gaze and said, "Of course, tonight, I will treat the whole village to a dish that is very popular in my hometown. ”

"What kind of food?"

"Barbecue." Cheng Lin smiled.
