Chapter 517: The Man with a Story
"My craft is a family heirloom, and I don't want to change careers to do something else, so life is getting more and more difficult."
"After another period of time, the city's supply line was cut off by the Jin soldiers for a month, not to mention meat, even white rice became a sought-after thing."
"At that time, I had already eaten all the food stored at home, and I was lying in bed waiting to die." Speaking of this, the cook's eyes revealed a little sadness.
"But one day, an officer came to the house, saying that there was a lack of butchers in the general's mansion, so he summoned me in, taught me the craft of cooking, and let me enter the army."
"This is equivalent to saving my life, I always thought it was my luck, but then one day when I was cooking in the kitchen, Miss's personal maid Xiaohong came to visit me."
"Only then did I know that the little girl who often bought meat at my stall was actually the personal maid of Miss Guo's house."
"She said that the meat I sell is different from the special military-supplied meat, there is no taste of blood, the texture is delicious, it looks fresh, and the young lady likes to eat it very much."
"A few days ago, she came to me on the street to buy meat and found that the stall had been removed."
"I asked a few fellow vegetable sellers, only to find out that I hadn't opened for a long time, so I secretly came to my house to see me."
"Seeing my predicament, she went back to the house and told Miss about it, and Miss went to find the general again."
"In the end, after General Guo's approval, I was summoned into the mansion, and then I fell in love with Xiaohong for a long time, and the general made the decision to marry her to me, and their father and daughter can be said to be my lifesavers."
"Now that the general and the young lady are in danger, do you think I, Zhang Rong, can stay out of the matter alone?"
Listening to his words, I sighed in my heart, I didn't expect a cook in the general's mansion to have such a story.
No wonder from the beginning, he protected Guo Lianyue with all his might, it turned out that there was this reason in it.
When a person lives in the world, he is a righteous word, and he sacrificed his life in order to repay his kindness, which is also worthy of my respect.
Put a lot of people in his place, and I'm afraid that when you encounter this situation in front of you, you may die at any time, and you will run away.
I patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you are a lover, if you can kill the demon king this time, I will definitely find a way to make you a new person!" ”
The cook may not have spoken his heart for a long time, but after hearing this, his eyes turned a little red.
The dirty Taoist priest walked to the other side of him and patted him on the back, "Okay, the boy has tears and doesn't flick!" The three of us will go and kill him, and let the monster know that there is still a heavenly way in this world! ”
These words instantly ignited the will of several people, and even the coldness behind the door in front of them was not so heavy.
Before opening the door, I turned around and instructed, "It's a good thing to be careless, but we also have to use our brains more to do things, and we still have to act at the opportunity after we go in, and don't blindly rush to kill." ”
"Not only will you not be able to save people, but you will also sacrifice yourself in vain."
In fact, I said this to the cook, this kid Long Xing is an old fritter, don't look at the good words he says, in fact, he is a cautious person in his bones, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now.
The cook nodded, his expression was no longer impulsive, and it seemed that this was quite useful.
I glared at the dirty Taoist priest, blaming him for stirring up the atmosphere too intensely, Long Xing stuck out his tongue, turned his head and gently pushed the door open with his hand.
As soon as the crack opened, it closed again with a 'bang'.
This made everyone unexpected, the dirty Taoist priest had fortunately taken a step back in time, otherwise his nose would have collapsed.
The cook was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Enchantment!" Long Xing and I replied in unison.
Long Xing looked at me, "Bing Shao, it seems that there is a cat in this, the monster has set up an enchantment here, and he doesn't want us to pass, I'm afraid the general is really fine." ”
I nodded, walked over to the door, and gently placed my hand on the door, feeling the rhythm from above.
"How's that, what kind of demon spell is it?" The dirty Taoist priest asked expectantly.
I scratched my head and said something that made him vomit blood, "I don't know." ”
The thing was just about to jump to its feet, but I tapped my fingers rhythmically on the door panel.
Slow, fast, fast, slow, and at one time it had been knocked about fifty times, and the door suddenly made a soft 'bang' sound, and a small crack opened inside.
The dirty Taoist clapped his hands, "Okay, today I not only saw the 'Evil Chasing Hand', but also saw the 'Evil Breaking Hand', and it is really the brain in our group, Bing Shao." ”
In fact, except for the sentence 'I don't know' just now, the rest of the hands are moving on their own, so I don't know much about what 'evil hands' and the like are.
But if you can open this door, the purpose will be achieved, and the dirty Taoist priest is still saying flattering words, but at this time, I take it as a deaf ear.
Because a smell of blood was wafting through the crack in the door, and the sound of killing could be faintly heard coming from a distance.
With a slight push, the door opened outward, and three mantis men were seen facing away from the place, crouching on the ground and peeling off several bloody corpses of Midwinter with their sharp claws.
The dirty Taoist priest made a silent gesture and tiptoed over, and I also took a light step and followed him.
The closer they got, the stronger the smell of blood, and the attention of the three mantis people was entirely focused on the corpse below.
They seemed to be looking for something, but before they could react, a blue light crossed in front of them.
The head of the mantis man on the far left flew straight into the sky, and the one in the middle just realized that something was wrong when he saw a silver spear head coming out from under his neck.
The last mantis man reacted, and as soon as he straightened up, a kitchen knife slashed straight at its head.
The praying mantis opened its mouth in pain and wanted to scream, but it was only halfway open when several black shadows shot into it, and soon pierced through the back of its head.
I kicked down the mantis man who had been pierced by the spear, and took back the evil crossbow in my right hand, and the dirty Taoist priest had already gone over to mend a sword on the monster.
Only then did he reassure and said, "Well, it's not easy, to catch up with the usual, I don't think it's easy to hide the feelings of these insects, who told them to be greedy for blood food." ”
I shook off the blood from the tip of the spear and said, "Not really, apparently they were sent to guard the entrance to this barrier, probably because they thought that no one had broken it, so they were careless." ”
The cook pointed to a small four-story building in front of him, "Two masters, it doesn't matter how these monsters died now, the situation over there seems to be more serious." ”
I raised my head and found that two hundred paces away, a coalition of praying mantis and human chrysalis was crowding at the door of the small building, and the door had been smashed open.
