Chapter 117: Brush up on favor
"What is your purpose" Mei Hong looked at Hu Xuan coldly.
"Nothing, just trying to prove what you said"
βοΌβ
"The ugliness and ugliness of human nature"
...... Hearing what Hu Xuan said, Mei Hong was puzzled, she didn't understand why the other party did that, neither to eat her, nor to have any luxury, just to help? 500 years of life made her unbelievable.
The scene cooled down, and neither of them spoke and looked at each other.
A crisp knock sounded on the door.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?" an old voice came from outside the door.
Tiger Xuan turned his head and motioned for Mei Hong to open the door, but Mei Hong hesitated for a moment but walked over and opened the door.
A slightly old figure pulled a cart and stopped in front of the door, with some bedding and other utensils on the cart, and another put some vegetables and meat.
"The two of you are new travelers, and Ishida will send some clothes and some food later," the old man smiled kindly.
Mei Hong was a little stunned for a while, when was the last time she talked to someone normally, Mei Hong thought.
Tiger Xuan walked out properly, took the things and thanked him
"The insiders are more afraid of life, don't you mind, just say a place for clothes, we can go by ourselves, and please come specifically"
"It's going to be cold soon, be careful of catching a cold at night," the old man nodded understandingly, and left after a word.
After the old man left, my sister's red face turned cold again, with a spark of anger in her eyes, and the little goodwill she had just saved was lost in a moment.
"What do you mean, insider!"
"That's what the wife meant," Tiger Xuan explained, pretending to be unclear.
"I, ask, you, why, what, this, what, say"
"A man and a woman need a reasonable identity when traveling, otherwise it is easy to be suspected"
"It doesn't matter what others think, if you say that again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut you!"
Hu Xuan could only nod helplessly, girl, the foul language of the future generations has been exposed in advance.
"Sister Hong, what do you have for dinner?"
"I don't eat," Mei Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Then I'll do it casually" After speaking, Hu Xuan walked to the kitchen with the ingredients, and Mei Hong was at a loss again, and the ghost also wanted to eat?
Ghosts need to eat? when they don't, but foodies do......
Eating is one aspect, on the other hand, Tiger Xuan wants to test the ability to get before the cooking is proficient, and he has been cooking with the demon for a hundred years, and he knows how the level is, he can't say that it is good, but it is definitely not bad, and Hu Xuan is curious about how far the cooking mastery can be improved.
Although I didn't have much hope, I still opened the instructions for cooking mastery.
[Cooking Mastery (Active): Black Iron Level Ability, Cooking Ability for All Ingredients Max]
......
Rub, I didn't find out that it was an active skill before, shouldn't cooking mastery be passive!
With the idea of being pitted, I clicked on the cooking mastery, and suddenly a piece of data appeared in front of me.
[Mackerel: common edible fish, high protein, low fat, very suitable for human consumption]
γFish head: high nutrition, good taste, rich in essential soft phospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids, preparation method, stewed ......γ
An ordinary fish in front of me instantly appeared in countless blue data frames, and the introduction of the fish itself, the edible part, the cooking method, and the energy supply were all listed in great detail.
There is no change in the slightest in his own cooking skills, but the indirectness of these data has greatly improved Tiger Xuan's cooking skills, and there is a posture of infinite improvement.
According to the introduction of the data, after cooking the fish and stewing it for a waiting time, the tiger turned his head to look at Mei Hong, and another piece of data appeared.
[Unknown lifeform: The flesh is delicate and elastic, and only a small piece can provide ordinary people with energy for a whole year, it is very poisonous, be cautious!]
......
It turns out that women are really poisonous!
After watching a series of tiger spins, I suddenly thought that when I returned to the original world, I must have done more to survive in the wilderness than Belgris......
At dinner, Mei Hong, who originally said that she didn't want to eat, didn't stand it in the end, and ate a few big bowls under the teasing eyes of Hu Xuan, and the rest was all done by Hu Xuan himself.
"Na, Mei Hong, don't you go to bed to sleep" Hu Xuan looked at Mei Hong, who was sitting in the corner of the house.
"I'm used to it" Mei Hong shook her head and said, just leaning against the corner and not speaking.
Hearing Mei Hong say this, Hu Xuan felt a little distressed, he met Komachi after he died, and then there were people in Bai Yulou to take care of him, but what about Mei Hong? For five hundred years, she has been alone, she has no friends, and she has no stable place for food, clothing, and accommodation, which is much better than herself.
Maybe it's a long-lost house accommodation, maybe it's a tiger spinning by her side to protect, and soon Mei Hong fell asleep, this night Mei Hong slept very peacefully, and some small bumps didn't wake up.
Although I still don't believe in Tiger Xuan's appearance on the surface, I already have a certain trust in him deep down.
Under the gaze of the tiger whirl, a faint snoring sounded, and Mei Hong fell asleep against the corner of the wall.
Hu Xuan sighed and slowly approached Mei Hong, but when she was within a certain range, she could clearly see the tremors of her hands and feet, as if she might wake up at any time, and it would take a while to return to normal.
Gently picked up Mei Hong, put it on the bed, covered it with a futon, and secretly made up her mind that she couldn't let Mei Hong live like this anymore, at least she had to change her current mentality, otherwise she wouldn't even dare to touch anyone.
The next day, Qingming
Mei Hong opened her misty eyes, this was the most comfortable sleep she had slept in hundreds of years. But then my heart was tight, and I slept in a different place! I didn't wake up before!
After looking around, I realized that I was lying on the bed, still covered with bedding, no wonder I slept so comfortably.
With a slight movement of her legs, her red face suddenly darkened, and she kicked the contents of the quilt off the bed while screaming
"Soul light monster! What have you done, Lao Tzu really misjudged you!"
If it weren't for Tiger Vortex arranging the barrier in advance, the whole village would have to hear it.
"What did you do," Hu Xuan, who had already woken up, blinked calmly.
"Why do I sleep with you!"
"Last night, I saw that you were too pitiful in the corner, so I carried you to bed and went to sleep, and then you dragged my arm and didn't let me leave, I had no choice but to stay there all night, who knew that I was suddenly kicked down in the morning" Tiger Xuan said innocently, while exposing his arm, there was a bruise on it.
Seeing that there was indeed a bruise on her arm, the girl's face froze, and then she turned red and stammered
"I don't care where I sleep"
"Okay, good" Tiger Xuan raised his hands as if he had surrendered, and waited until Mei Hong turned around before putting it down, and made a V behind him with one hand, and the plan was through!
"Little Sister Hong, this is for you" An old man smiled and handed over some of the ingredients in his hand to Mei Hong.
With a stiff smile on her face, Mei Hong thanked her and returned home.
Hu Xuan, who watched the development of the situation in the house, sighed a little, it had been more than half a month since he and Mei Hong came here, and Mei Hong was no longer very reluctant to communicate with people, but the indifference in his words could still make him hear it at once.
With the sound of the door closing, Mei Hong returned to the house.
"Actually, people aren't as bad as you think," Tiger Xuan asked tentatively.
"That's because they don't know the truth about us," Mei Hong replied, her tone calm and scary.
"Doesn't this also mean that those people in the past were not afraid of you, but of your ability?"
"Ability is inseparable from me" Mei Hong's voice carried a hint of pain, Penglai medicine was her own choice, and it was also the root of everything.
Tiger Xuan was silent, yes, ability itself is inseparable, just like his identity as an undead, it's not something he can give up if he wants to.
"Sister Hong, let's make a bet" If it goes on like this, it may be possible to make Sister Hong's view of people change a little after a month, but the overall concept will not change much.
Tiger Xuan can only make one bet, and he doesn't have much time to waste more.
"What"
"What would happen if I told the people in the village who we really were?" said Hu Xuan, looking directly into Meihong's eyes.
"You're crazy, then we'll definitely be ostracized" A trace of panic flashed in the girl's red eyes, and she said a little crazy.
"So what's going on, I was supposed to stay for a month, and now it's about the same time, at most, it's just a few days early."
...... Yes, I came here for a month because of him, why did I lose my temper when I heard it just now......
"Okay"
The two gradually walked towards the old man's house of Ishida, who was the head of the village.
Fear stems from people's ignorance of the unknown.
The reason why people are afraid of Meihong is because they don't know her herself, and they don't know her abilities. Because we don't understand, we are afraid, because we are afraid we refuse to understand, and in this cycle fear is infinitely deepened.
However, under the catalysis of some conditions, fear gradually turns into disgust, and negative emotions such as envy, jealousy, and resentment of human beings make fear deteriorate, and without power, fear becomes rejection and disgust.
Of course, the best way is to teach from the child, but Huxuan doesn't have so much time, the people in the village have a preliminary understanding of Mei Hong's character, and most of them are elderly people who have seen it, and their negative emotions are indifferent, and they may not be hopeless.
"Is the village chief here?" in front of the door, Tiger Xuan knocked on the door and said softly.
After a few moments, the door creaked open, revealing the kind face of the old man Ishida.
"It turned out to be Meihong and Youfeng, how is it, how are you doing during this time, what's the matter, what difficulties are you encountering?"
"We have something we want to tell you," Tiger Whirl
"Then let's come in first" Seeing that the faces of the two were serious, the old man Ishida was also upright and said seriously.
"There's something I'd like to tell you about who we are"
"Isn't it a nobleman who eloped?" said the old man Ishida
Hu Xuan glanced at Mei Hong, paused for a moment and said
"Meihong is indeed a child of a noble family, but she is not a nobleman now, but a member of the aristocratic Fujiwara family 500 years ago"
Old man Ishida's eyes flashed with surprise, and even his face was a little distorted, and he stood up directly.
"500 years! You're not scaring me, old man, are you?"
"The aristocrats of the outside world have long stopped wearing this kind of clothes, this is already the style of a hundred years ago," Hu Xuan said, pointing to the clothes on Mei Hong's body that have not changed for thousands of years.
"You really didn't lie to the old man?" Old man Ishida's face was still full of disbelief, who knew that a person who looked much younger than you would not have a normal reaction after living for hundreds of years, right?
Seeing the reaction of the old man Ishida, Mei Hong flashed a look of disappointment, in the end, everyone is the same.
"I didn't lie to you, I gained the ability to be immortal 500 years ago" said Mei Hong cut a big hole in her hand, and the blood had not had time to flow out much, and it had healed quickly.
The old man Ishida's eyes were full of shock, staring at Mei Hong, unable to say a word, just standing dumbfounded, living in a small village on the edge of the village, he had almost never seen a stranger.
Seeing this scene, Mei Hongxin sank, subconsciously took a step back, and walked behind the tiger, it was this disgusting feeling again, for hundreds of years, everyone was the same, after learning the truth, they were first shocked, and then disgusted and repulsed.
"Then you are," Ishida turned his head back to Tiger Whirl.
"I'm a non-human, a person who died a hundred years ago, and now I'm an undead" Hu Xuan said indifferently, unlike Mei Hong, he was born in modern times and has no rejection of non-people, non-human girls are more popular, and they are also very satisfied with their identity. As he spoke, his body left the ground and floated in the air, causing the old man Ishida to be shocked again.
The old man Ishida looked at Huxuan, then at Meihong, and was silent.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Hu Xuan also thought that the old man Ishida would also reject them, the old man Ishida's eyes suddenly flashed, and he patted his leg and said
"The two of them are really a match made in heaven, one represents that life cannot die no matter what, and the other represents that death cannot be resurrected. β
Sister Hong was dumbfounded, and Tiger Xuan was also dumbfounded, is this okay? It seems that he came to him really right, the second disease is hanging and blowing up the sky! Why didn't I think of it, isn't Sister Hong x Youyouzi also good?
"Nothing else?"
"I'm really a little scared, if it weren't for the old man's heart, maybe it would have passed" The old man also had some palpitations.
"People are getting old, and they are also open, but it's best not to spread this matter, after all, there shouldn't be many people in the village who can accept it, so it's better to get familiar with it later."
In the midst of Tiger Xuan's joy and sister Hong's doubts, the door was vigorously slammed open, and a loud noise was heard, and a young man was scratched all over his body, and blood flowed into the house, with a frightened look on his face, shouting at the old man Ishida
"The village chief is not good, demon beast, there is a demon beast near the village"
The old man Ishida also had a flash of panic on his face, but he still tried his best to calm his voice and soothe the young man and asked
"Slowly, what's going on"
The young man gasped a few times and said again
"Today I went to patrol outside the village with the rain custom, and suddenly saw a giant snake coming in the direction of the village on the top of the front mountain, and the trees that I touched were all broken, and the places that were crossed were all ravines, and the rain fell and injured, I came back in advance to report, I'm afraid it won't be long before I get to the village."
The old man Ishida seemed to think of something, and he didn't even bother to verify it, so he panicked completely
"Quick, gather the whole village, you must be fast"
Hu Xuan was puzzled in his heart, the village was chosen by himself, and there were almost no monsters nearby, so why did a monster come by chance? )
