Chapter 195: Gossip
"Probably the recent thing," Liqiu thought for a moment, "It shouldn't even be a thousand years." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSome countries in the West don't have a long history and are not very comfortable to live in. ”
A thousand years, even if it is a "recent thing", I have to sigh again.
"Then there are indeed ...... like you in the West Non-human? ”
"Yes, vampires and werewolves belong to demon gods, and there are many demons, but they tend to live in secret areas, and they don't like to come into contact with humans, and they don't even have that much interest in eating people."
I remembered that I had read from my family's collection that the bloodline of demon hunters continued not only in the East, but even in the West a long, long time ago.
If the demons in the West are not interested in human beings, then wouldn't the West be safer in this chaotic era when the rules are open and demons are rampant?
I seem to have some understanding of why the family forcibly sent their children who were born without the talent of demon hunters to study abroad, perhaps it was a deep meaning, to find a less threatening safe place for them abroad, and even to disperse their destinations. Presumably, where they went, there was also the existence of demon hunter forces.
However, it doesn't seem necessary to think too much about the depressing things like the Demon God Chronicle and the End of the World now. Recently, everything has been indescribably calm, and the White Dragon God has not given me any special warnings, so it is best to concentrate on enjoying the rare peace at the moment, because I don't know how long this peaceful time will last.
Everything that might come was originally the result of the self-operation of the Heavenly Dao, and even the Protoss could not make any predictions about the direction of the world's orbit. We, the insignificant human beings, can only wait and accept, and most importantly, do not go in the wrong direction when we need to make choices and judgments.
I searched for information and carefully made a menu. Actually, I'm quite good at cooking Western food, because my family is engaged in business activities, and all the dinners held are Western-style, and I see a lot of them, so I will unconsciously imitate them. The decoration of my home is originally a Western-style cabinet, and when I eat at home, in order to reduce the amount of smoke, I cook Western food more often.
I was worried that Liqing and they wouldn't be used to eating, so I just prepared three meals a day according to the taste of Chinese food, but now that I think about it, I am really worried.
I checked the menu and felt like it wouldn't disappoint the visitors. Although this is not in accordance with the rules of the festival at all. However, on the basis of valuing and remembering, there will be some changes occasionally, and life will be more fun.
So, Liqiu and I rolled up our sleeves and got ready.
Western food looks simple, but it's actually more cumbersome to make than Chinese food. For example, in an ordinary pan-fried sea bass, it seems that the main part is just fried in oil after seasoning, but in fact, in addition to the technical content of the fish fillet, the side dish part and the sauce part must be prepared separately, and only one point is taken for each serving. After making a small plate, it feels like three dishes have been made.
The charm of Chinese food is that even if the recipe is exactly the same, there will be a big difference in the taste of the food due to the difference in heat, the order of ingredients, and even the different personalities of the chefs. Western food, on the other hand, is exquisite and rigorous, and it is entirely possible for different people to present delicious recipes accurately and perfectly.
So, our decision is a bit of a self-defeating one.
The two of us spent the whole day preparing things in the kitchen. Most of the food handling processes are boring, and the two of us can only chat to relieve boredom.
To be exact, it was me who felt bored, and Liqiu handled everything so clearly that he couldn't see his emotions at all. However, his thoughtfulness is also manifested in the fact that as long as there is a question, he will definitely answer, and it seems that this point is not affected by emotions.
It was in this process that I was surprised to find that this "gentleman", who seemed to be easy to give people a cold look, actually unexpectedly gossiped!
Mainly because of rambling small talk, somehow it gets into the history of boring fasting.
"Well, we've been here for about 200 years. This city, this street, existed 200 years ago, but it wasn't like this. ”
The location of Boring Zhai belongs to the old town, but it is not the core of the city, and the surrounding buildings look old. Although it has undergone several rounds of renovation, it still retains some of its quaint taste.
Thinking about the fact that they have been living here for 200 years, watching the warmth and coldness of the world as a bystander, my heart unconsciously wells up with a trace of emotion.
"Sister Liqing, I should think it's very interesting, what about you? Do you find it interesting? ”
"We?" Liqiu stopped the kitchen knife in his hand, "So, does Shining want to know about us?" ”
Of course I want to know about them, but it just doesn't feel good to ask. Moreover, there may be things that they think I shouldn't know, things that are taboo, and things that belong to their personal privacy, and I don't want to embarrass them.
At the beginning, didn't they warn me not to mention the word "white dragon" in front of Liqing?
At that time, I thought that the white dragon was our great enemy, some kind of evil monster, but now that I know the reason for this, I understand that what is implied in this is actually endless anxiety and sadness.
Everything comes from the white dragon's non-farewell three thousand years ago. Such a sudden disappearance is magnified like a convex lens by an extremely long period of time, and as long as there is an emotion, it is difficult not to become shaken and doubtful.
Wonder if it's forgotten, wonder if a long disappearance doesn't mean you don't have to see you again. But I feel that she never doubted whether the white dragon was dead, not once.
I didn't ask about this, but by chance, I knew everything. It's not even just about "knowing".
So I think that as time passes, I will gradually get to know them better. When they want to say it, maybe it will come naturally to me. It's just that I didn't expect this moment to come so quickly.
And in Liqiu's words, there is nothing worth hiding at all, as if their past could have been casually put on the table as something to gossip and exchange.
"A long, long time ago, I can't tell you how long ago, there was a big demon. He became stronger and stronger during the long practice, and gradually, the beings around him could hardly match him. From then on, he believed only in strength, believing that power is the absolute law of the world. He is cruel, tyrannical and cold-blooded, and the habitat he chooses is always surrounded by no life that dares to approach, like a lifeless wasteland. ”
I was so captivated by his story that I even slowed down the action of preparing the ingredients. Liqiu's slow and logical narration is unexpectedly attractive.
It's just that we're not talking about their own story, aren't we? So, who is this powerful, brutal, and cold-blooded demon referring to?
