Chapter 8: In Search of the Wise
Ignoring their expressions of disbelief, Han Shuang continued to eat fried meat.
The emotion on Xiao's face only lasted for a moment before it was hidden, and he raised his eyes to look at Han Shuang, and his eyes became very serious: "What you said is true?" ”
Han Shuang returned his gaze and nodded seriously, "Really, I have no reason to lie to you. ”
Xiao listened to her answer, his brows furrowed slightly, and the pupils under his long eyelashes were deep.
The rest of the three were different, they were shocked or shocked.
Ming was the first to come back to his senses from the shock, he finished eating the fried meat in his hand twice, and said with a look of unfinished business: "Han Shuang, can you fry some more for us?" I can eat ten more pieces. ”
After speaking, he looked at Yong, and when Yong saw it, he immediately echoed: "I also want another ten yuan." ”
Jie is not far behind: "I'll eat another ten yuan." ”
The three of them scrambled to report the number, but Xiao chewed the fried meat in his hand with a deep face and did not speak.
Han Shuang didn't ask him, took the washed meat and continued to fry it.
The sound of fried meat was greedy, Ming stared at the fried meat on the stone slab without blinking, smashed his mouth, and continued to ask Han Shuang: "Han Shuang, can you tell us how you eat there?" I see you did the same yesterday with slate scalding meat. ”
Han Shuang listened to his inquiry and recalled for a while before replying: "We have many ways to do food there, such as, boiling, boiling, stewing, boiling, stewing, stewing, frying, frying, stir-frying, stir-frying, exploding, grilling, stir-frying, simmering, simmering, smoking, roasting, steaming, baking, boiling, steaming, stewing, braised and spicy, sauce fried, fish fragrant, sweet and sour, kung pao, crispy, crispy, dry stir-fry, salt-baked, five-spice, casserole, three fresh, steamed powder, Drunk, tempeh, strange smell...... Wait a minute. ”
She counted with her fingers as she spoke, and after she finished speaking, Ming exaggerated: "You said forty-six kinds, are there so many?" Will you do it all? ”
Ming's shameless question made Han Shuang a little embarrassed, although she knew so many cooking methods, but she didn't know how to cook much, the taste of the south and the north in her previous life was very different, in order to be able to eat the dishes she wanted to eat, she learned some of her favorite dishes, so that she could satisfy her appetite when she was in a foreign place, and now she doesn't even have salt, let alone cooking, and now she says that it is a fantasy.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Ming continued to ask with some puzzlement: "Han Shuang, what's wrong with you?" Do you miss your country? ”
Hearing Ming's inquiry, Han Shuang hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Yes, I miss my country, but unfortunately I haven't found a way to go back after coming here for three months." ”
After Han Shuang finished speaking, an irrepressible longing naturally arose in her heart, which made her whole person look melancholy.
Naruto felt her mood down, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so in order to ease her emotions, she quickly diverted the topic and said, "Is there one of those methods you just said called salt baking?" ”
She nodded and replied: "Yes, we collectively refer to the various practices of food there as cooking, and the ways of cooking are ever-changing, and I only remember these forty-six names, as for salt baking, it is one of many cooking methods, and our current method is called frying, and your method yesterday is roasting, and the most inseparable thing about salt baking is salt, by the way, do you have salt here?" ”
"Yes." She was answered by Xiao's cold, magnetic voice, and now that the meat in his hand had been eaten, a pair of emotionless eyes staring at the flames under the stone slab.
The meat on the slate was fried again, this time only four pieces were fried, Han Shuang herself was already full, and she divided the rest among the four people around her.
Xiao took the fried meat she handed over and glanced at it and said, "What about yours?" ”
"What?" Han Shuang didn't react a little.
"Where's your own fried meat?" Xiao explained coldly.
"I'm full." After saying that, she asked rhetorically, "Why don't you use salt when you barbecue yesterday?" ”
Xiao slowly ate the fried meat in his hand, and only after swallowing the meat in his mouth did he say indifferently: "Salt is used to cure diseases, even super tribes can't squander it at will." ”
His answer made Han Shuang understand the preciousness of salt in this world, and there will indeed be many problems with the lack of salt in the body, and if it is serious, it will indeed be sick.
Salt is a luxury, and the world is so backward.
After a meal of fried meat, he didn't eat much meat on the boar, so all that the big boar couldn't eat was wasted, although it was a pity, but the frost didn't dare to blatantly put it into the ring space.
After a meal pack, Han Shuang brought up the old story again: "Can I go with you?" I want to go back to the tribe with you. ”
This request was made by Han Shuang for the second time, the first time Xiao did not answer her, this time she wanted to ask for the opinions of the other three.
Xiao's face was a little ugly, but this time he still didn't answer, and the other three people also had an expression of "I can't do it, don't look at me".
The three of them looked very frightened, and they collectively looked at Xiao innocently, as if the innocent victim was waiting for Xiao to give them a fair last fair trial.
From the expressions of several people, Han Shuang understood that Xiao was their boss, and only when Xiao nodded could she decide whether she would go or stay.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao's gloomy face refused to speak, Han Shuang somewhat understood what he meant, no matter what the reason was, she didn't want to be embarrassed for others anymore, and it was time to make another plan.
One last glance at Xiao, after a glance, she decisively got up and walked in the direction of the cave, since she decided to leave, she had to make some preparations in advance.
After she left, Xiao silently looked at the direction she was leaving, and her eyes were indescribably gloomy.
His emotions were all seen by the three of them, and Ming was very puzzled by him: "Xiao, since you like her, why don't you agree to her?" She hasn't made a partner with another orc yet, although she is still a little younger, but she will be able to have a partner and have cubs after two years, and our tribe can't afford to raise an underage female like her. ”
Ming's words made Xiao recognize his thoughts, and in the survival of the tribe and his private feelings, he chose the former:
"We came out this time to find the wise man in the priest's prophecy, before we found the wise man, it would only be a burden to take her with her, there are no big beasts in this forest, and other orcs will not come to hunt in such a remote place, she is safer to live here than to follow us, and when we find the wise man, I will come here to take her back to the tribe."
His explanation made the three of them powerless to refute, the wise man is the future of the tribe, and it is not something that a little female can compare.
Unbeknownst to them, however, the person they were discussing had decided to leave the place and find a new place to live.
In front of the cave.
Han Shuang came back not for anything else, but for this wild boar that was not finished.
Walking up to the wild boar, she took the fish basket out of the space in distress, and she could only ruthlessly abandon the fish basket in order to pretend to be a wild boar.
Wild boar meat can be enough for her to eat for a long time, and the fish basket is not needed for the time being, the fish basket is gone, you can make it again, but the wild boar will never be there again if you miss it, at least she can't kill such a big wild boar.
After collecting the wild boar, she glanced at the place where she had lived for three months, and suddenly a tall figure flashed in her mind, and she suppressed the loss in her heart, and she turned and disappeared into the grass to the north.
Han Shuang left, Xiao they didn't know anything, and at this moment they also got up and embarked on a journey to find the wise man, and as they both left, the forest returned to its former calm.
