Chapter 156: The Plague
The city of Arcas is also a tropical city, a desert in the middle of the day, where few people go out on the streets at noon, and now they are even more reluctant to leave during the war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Stay at home to prevent your food from being stolen, the last few days have not been peaceful, often people take advantage of your time to steal things at home, the valuable ones will not be taken, especially the ones that can be eaten.
Although everyone thinks so, how is it possible for a person to stay at home for several days in a row.
There will still be a lot of drunkards who can't help but sneak into the tavern, all in overcoats so as not to be recognized, so that those who know you well will know that you are not at home at this time.
They pushed open the side door outside the tavern and tapped it a few times in the doorway. Then someone will come and open the door.
"It's really early today, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you. ā
The man under the black coat dared to take out his clothes when he entered the back room...... It was still early, and the tavern was already full by this time, and he looked around almost all around with his drinking companions, who often drank.
"You're finally here, buddy, you're late enough today...... Belch...... Come, toast to war, toast to victory!" a red-faced man picked up the glass on the table, but there was no more wine in it. He looked around at everyone present, and invited them to drink whether they knew it or not.
The man in black came to the bar and threw a few copper coins.
"Money isn't very good at this time. The guy at the bar said.
"But there's always a time when you can use it, don't you?"
The two sides glanced at each other, felt that what the other had said was reasonable, put away the coins on the table, and immediately put a whole glass of wine on the table.
"The portion size is a little less. The man in black picked up his glass and weighed it.
"They were all freshly retrieved from the ice cellar and they tasted just right...... Recently, there have been no tourist merchants entering the city, and a lot of ice has melted to this point. The man at the bar said with a blank face, many people have asked the same question recently, and he is used to it.
"I really hope that the reinforcements of the Empire will arrive sooner so that we can get out of the sea of suffering, and of course the Celtic generals are also important...... Let's toast the general. He picked up the glass and said a few words, and then poured it down hungrily.
"You can slow down, there's not much wine in the cellar. Now we are limited to everyone. ā
No matter what the guy at the bar said, he still didn't mean to put down his glass.
I'm used to it, isn't everyone who comes here like this?
It was only after most of the glass of wine was down that the man in black was willing to put down the wine glass, and his nose was already obviously dyed red.
"Mouse! There are rats in the kitchen. ā
Suddenly, the tavern guy hurried out of the back kitchen, waking up a group of drinkers.
"What? A rat can scare you like that. You're getting more and more useless, and I should have thrown you into the barracks to fight the barbarians. The man at the bar said this, causing a burst of laughter around him.
"It's not one, it's a lot, a lot. ā
He made his hand as wide as he could, but everyone present was half-drunk and didn't care how many rats were there.
Squeak, squeak...... The voice grew louder, and some of the people who were burping suddenly fell silent.
"Who's pretending to be a rat?"
The voices became more and more, and the guy at the bar felt that something was wrong and hurriedly ran in the direction of the kitchen. At this time, many drunken men ran up to the bar to see if there was anything else to drink, and when they found a glass of unopened wine, they immediately hid it, and then went home and drank it slowly.
"Rats, there are really a lot of mice!"
After a moment of going in and running out of the kitchen, a swarm of rats poured out like a honeycomb.
..............................
At this time, in the barracks on the front line, the human soldiers also noticed that there were many rats around.
"What, some rats can scare you down? "General Celtic was originally sleeping, and last night they discussed the matter of the 'mysterious man' for a night, and finally reached a consensus that they could catch up on sleep while the barbarians were also resting. I didn't expect to be woken up again, and it was because of the rat.
"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Just grab a couple of mice. He pulled the soldier who had come in to report and pointed hard at his chest.
"I, Celtic. Do you know how many animals you ate when you were a soldier?"
He glared at the soldier and shook his head with difficulty.
"Stupid pig, don't you all shout that there is not enough food in the city? Now that the food is coming, you have come and asked me what to do, if I will teach you how to bake things, and how to eat them in your mouth. ā
The soldier shook his head again.
"Then don't go quickly, let the soldiers solve it themselves, as long as it's not a barbarian matter, don't bother me. A kick in the soldier's ass kicked him straight out of the tent.
"Yes, yes. Checkmate. ā
Celt went back to his bed and lay down, there were so many things that were bothering him right now.
Of course, the barbarians did not choose to retreat after crossing the river, and I don't know how they found a shallow place in the river. Actually walked over directly, now the barbarians occupy the river bank where the soldiers were originally patrolling, only a few hundred meters away from the barracks on the front line, and they also left there before the guardrail as a defense, and long-range weapons can't shoot into it.
Damn the brute, how could he suddenly become smarter.
Celtic only hoped that the Empire's reinforcements would arrive quickly, so that they could get out of the sea of suffering, so that the generals sent to help could see their heroism, and maybe they would make the lord of the city of Arcas to themselves.
In this way, the entire Gypsy side plug is its own world.
He laughed stupidly, and thought about the rat that the soldier had just spoken about.
There are rats to eat......
He immediately shouted to the soldiers outside, "Go, catch a few mice for me, wash and peel them, and then put them on the shelf and roast them for me." ā
"Yes, General. ā
Someone outside the tent replied.
Sure enough, as Celtic said, the rats that appeared had been caught by the soldiers, and small fires were lit one by one in the camp, and today's dinner was a barbecue rat meeting.
Seridis brought a fat, red-hot rat to Yennefer.
"Mentor, it's yours. I've baked it, it's delicious. He looked at the bishop in front of him, who was probably younger than himself, and proudly handed over his masterpiece.
Yennefer looked at the cooked rat, bare.
"Don't, you can eat it yourself, I can't eat it. ā
"Why, they're so good, you taste it, I promise you'll love it. "Seridis.
Tear off a piece of meat and put it in your mouth, the meat is not fully cooked, and there is still a trace of blood in the innermost part, but this is the best...... Fresh and tender, it tastes good.
