Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Shabby Banquet of Thanksgiving
Bai Ze forced himself to forget the fact that the person in front of him was a monster, and it was likely to eat people without blinking, and said with a smile on his face:
"I'm a fisherman in Wangjia Village, and I don't feel right when there are suddenly a lot of turtles in the river today. After the net was cast, the three turtles entered the net one after another, and I don't think they are vulgar things, so let go of one, and these two are also going to let go. ”
Although the faces of the Eight Kings were kind, they couldn't see any expression, and they only thanked them perfunctorily, looking extremely sluggish. In fact, the Eight Great Kings were out of their bodies and were doing their best to deduce and judge whether the person in front of them was the key to the needs of the formation.
Bai Ze thought that the Eight Kings didn't understand what he meant by asking for some benefits, so he turned around and pointed to the red-spotted turtle and reminded more explicitly:
"Haha, the wife of the Eight Kings is really extraordinary! After I saved her, she always wanted to repay me. But I'm not the kind of person who wants to repay me! I refused at the time! Now seeing your family reunited is my greatest reward!"
Seeing that the Eight Kings were still smiling on their faces, but they didn't say anything, Bai Ze laughed awkwardly, and said in his heart:
"The master saved your three relatives! One of them may still be your wife, but you don't mean anything at all!
At this time, the eight kings finally finished deducing the great array, and the primordial spirit returned to his senses, and the expression on his face immediately became lively, and he laughed and said:
"Thank you to Engong for saving a few greedy guys from my turtle clan, I will definitely feast Engong today to thank Engong for saving his life!"
After that, the eight kings gave the little guy a look, and the little guy made a bitter face, turned into a gust of black wind, and disappeared.
Bai Ze finally waited for this sentence, his face showed joy, but he didn't dare to be humble at all, after all, this old Wang Ba was too slammed on the door, Bai Ze let go, what if Lao Wang Ba borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, he really didn't repay the favor?
Seeing that the Eight Great Kings glanced at the two turtles, the two turtles hurriedly crawled into the river and swam away. Bai Ze was obediently pulled away by the Eight Kings, and complimented without words:
"Although I am a mortal eye, I can also see that the king's wife is really educated, walking and running every move exudes intellectual beauty, and the red dot on the forehead is the finishing touch given by God, beautiful and incomprehensible, and the king is really a match made in heaven!"
The Eight Great Kings thought about the red-headed turtle, not to mention how many generations it was its great-grandson, but in terms of gender, the more the turtle was also male! The more the Eight Kings thought about it, the more they responded, but they couldn't expose Bai Ze, so they could only change the topic bluntly and asked:
"Don't know the name of the benefactor?"
Bai Ze had already been prepared, and without feeling inferior or hesitant, he reported the name of the plot and said: "Zheng Dagou!"
The eight kings choked, and originally wanted to praise the name and change the topic. But with such a bad name, the Eight Kings really couldn't find a suitable compliment, so they could only say haha:
"The name is good, it's good! I wonder what the benefactor's hobbies are?"
Bai Ze already had a seamless answer in his heart not to expose himself to people from the outside world, and he didn't want to say authentically: "I just sleep on weekdays!"
The Eight Kings choked again, looking at Bai Ze's expression, feeling that they couldn't find any useful information. The two of them, each with a ghost, glanced at each other, laughed awkwardly and looked at each other speechlessly, and began to move forward with their heads bored.
After walking for a few miles, the little guy who had disappeared before appeared sweating profusely, leading the two of them to crutch, and Bai Ze saw a dilapidated and old rotten thatched house.
The eyes of the eight kings widened, and the little servant hurriedly explained:
"King, I really don't have enough mana, I can't move the small village you said at all, and I can't break the dragon qi of the official eunuchs, so I can only grieve the king and settle like this. ”
The Eight Kings were stunned, and then the smile on their faces was even better, without any embarrassment, and pulled Bai Ze into the thatched house.
In the thatched hut there was a wooden table with three legs, the less leg had a pier to maintain balance, and next to the table were two small wooden piers, which were shiny with oil, and I don't know how many years had not been polished.
There are two bowls of dishes, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and an urn of wine on the table. Luckily, the food was still steaming. A strong wind blew outside, and a window of the thatched house was directly blown away, and the broken thatched house was directly turned into an exhibition room.
The Eight Kings felt more and more embarrassed, and the little guy was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he explained again:
"King, I really don't have the power to use the trick, and I can't go to the city and village to move the house without attracting attention, so I can only find a house at the edge of the village that people don't pay attention to......" The little girl's voice became quieter and quieter.
The Eight Kings kicked the little guy down and shouted, "Where did you get so many reasons! Is this our way of hospitality?"
Seeing this, Bai Ze was afraid of hurting the harmony, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him:
"My lord, I am very grateful if you can invite me here. Let's talk about eating, food and wine are more important than the environment, let's at least taste the food. ”
Seeing that Bai Ze couldn't collapse, the eight kings stepped forward to take the initiative to persuade him, and the angry attitude on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, and said:
"Benefactor Gaoyi, please sit down!"
Bai Ze secretly scolded in his heart, "This old Wang Ba is really slamming the door again, and he has a lot of flowers, just now he must have been afraid that I would be treated badly and blackmail him more, so I put on a bitter show for me." ”
But Bai Ze didn't have much to do, so he had to sit on the small wooden pier and be more vigilant in his heart.
The little guy hurriedly poured wine for the two, Bai Ze looked at it fixedly, and he didn't even bother to scold in his heart, this old Wang Ba really had to bring a pair of chopsticks to pull a bubble of shit - to see if there was anything undigested in it.
There are two bowls of vegetables on the table, one bowl is stewed, and all kinds of wild vegetables in it are salty, and it is salty and astringent when you taste it. The other bowl was meat, a few finger-sized small fish were stewed in it, Bai Ze ate one, the meat was not enough for a bite, it was full of fish bones.
Bai Ze looked at the food, felt that he couldn't eat it at all, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then his face was bitter, and he spit on the ground with a "wow", this wine is astringent and muddy, and it is better to drink water than this thing.
Although the Eight Kings of Wine and Bai Ze couldn't drink it, for the wine worm who had been hungry for a day, no matter how garbage the wine was, it was much stronger than edible alcohol. Ignoring Bai Ze's prior instructions, the wine worm poked out his head and looked at Bai Ze's wine glass longingly.
The eyes of the Eight Kings were very thief, and as soon as the wine worm showed his face, he stared at the wine worm twice, recalled some legends, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils, pretending to be unintentional:
"Benefactor, I didn't expect you to have a worm that has opened your mind! Let it come out, it's a monster, I haven't seen a foreign monster for many years. ”
Bai Ze considered that the eight kings in the original book were a monster who was quite easy to talk to, and he also wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he didn't doubt him, so he called out the wine worm.
