Chapter Forty-Three: The Hunger and Thirst of Two Pounds
As soon as Lan's mother went out, she saw Randy's tall back standing in the yard, her blue cloak fluttering in the wind, and her big sword leaning on her back, tilting her head sideways, listening to what Henry next to her was saying.
Lan's mother feels extraordinarily grounded, and this feeling hasn't been seen for a long time since her husband left.
Lan's mother is only in her forties, and her face is prematurely covered with wrinkles because of the erosion of the hard years. After sleeping peacefully all day, her complexion was much better, and the youth and vitality that had long passed away returned to her.
The yard was filled with the smell of blood, four fox skins hung on the branches of the osmanthus tree, and on the ground were peeled fox "white stripes". Lan Zuo was holding a sharp knife and was unloading the wild boar into eight pieces.
On the stone table next to it, there were nine demonic beast crystal nuclei neatly placed, some large and some small. Lan Zuo did things very carefully, and the crystal nucleus had been wiped clean.
As a hunter's wife, I have seen a lot of this kind of bloody scene, and I don't care about it, and most of this kind of work was actually done by myself in the past. However, it has been more than ten years since I have seen this familiar scene.
"Lan Zuo, don't force yourself, I'll do the rest of the work."
Lan's mother didn't blame Randy for letting Lan Zuo work, the man risked his life to go out to fight the monsters, and these odd jobs were naturally done by the women and children at home. She felt sorry for her youngest son's body and was ready to end up by herself.
"Mother, it's okay. Let Lan Zuo do some work to rejuvenate his blood, and when he treats him for a while, the effect will be better. ”
Does Randy still heal? Lan's mother has full trust in her son superstitionally. Looking up at the sky, "Oh, I slept until the afternoon, you're all hungry, right?" I'm going to cook. ”
As she spoke, Lan Ma had already walked quickly to the stove. This is her territory, and she immediately notices a huge change.
The jar is made of rice and fine noodles, and the side is filled with bacon, fresh bamboo shoots, and sun-dried daylily. All kinds of spices, salt and everything are also available, as well as the long-lost rice wine, the Lan family's kitchen has a new look.
"Mother, we ate on the mountain at noon, and now we are not hungry, you just fainted yesterday, rest first, I will make you some porridge."
Randy followed in, found some millet that Lan Zuo had just bought in the morning, and prepared to cook porridge for his mother.
This is a child's filial piety, Lan's mother didn't stop her, but she couldn't stay idle, "I'm completely fine, I'll go and marinate the pork first, and I'll make braised pork for you at night." ”
The stove was a little dark, and the dead branches in the stove crackled and burned, flickering and dimming, shining on Randy's face. The cloak was placed in the hall, and the great sword stood beside him. Lan Ma quickly processed the pork next to her, cut it, and soaked it in rice wine and seasoning.
The two chatted, and Randy briefly talked about his study in Sword Hill. In fact, it is also very monotonous, basically practicing hard all the time, and hiding the matter of being beaten as a sparring partner to earn tuition.
"Mother, this little bit of meat is not enough, Ah Hua can eat half a wild boar by herself."
Randy went out and carried half a fan of pork into the house, and was about to clean it up, but was stopped by Lan's mother, and she was better at doing this job than Randy.
"How did you subdue the tiger? Fortunately, the boy is now powerful and can hit the wild boar, otherwise we really can't afford to raise it. ”
"Mother, this is a gift from the mountain chief who won the first place in the graduation trial.
By the way, during the graduation trial, I accidentally got a bottle of immortal wine and gave it to Lan Zuo to drink, which will definitely restore his vitality. He is now working and living his bloodline, which is more conducive to the better functioning of immortal wine.
A sip of this wine will take a full day's sleep, and someone has to be there to take care of it. I'm just waiting for you to wake up and look at him, I'm going to go up the mountain tomorrow to fight Warcraft. When he finishes drinking, you can also take a sip. ”
"Since it is immortal wine that can cure diseases, just give Lan Zuo a drink. Mother is not sick, you can keep it for yourself. ”
"The first sip of Baihua nectar brewing can eliminate all diseases and restore vitality, and in the future, you can only increase your magic power, and my mother will definitely take a sip.
I'm a swordsman, and now I have enough magic, and it's useless to have more.
I will leave more wine for Lan Zuo, and if Lan Zuo also goes to Jianqiu to learn art in the future, he will need it. His body, even if healed, is not the material of a swordsman, and I am afraid that he will have to develop in the direction of the law system or something. ”
Seeing that Randy cares about his younger brother and that her youngest son's illness has been cured, Lan's mother feels satisfied, looking at Randy's strong figure, "By the way, you're so old......"
"Randy, Randy!" There was a shout from the courtyard.
"You go to see Erjin, when you are not there, he and Shi Yuan have taken care of our mother and son, I will watch the pot."
As soon as Randy saw Erjin, he was punched by Erjin, "Good guy, you look so strong, unlike me, you're quite big, and your body is full of fat."
I heard that you went up the mountain to fight monsters in the morning? Why don't you tell me and call me along? ”
"You're not afraid of Warcraft? When I was a child, I was afraid of fighting. ”
"I'm a little scared, but it's fine with you. I'm a gunsmith, and I don't have to rush in front, I can hide behind this tiger. ”
Ah Hua, who was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, glanced at Erjin with disdain, and then turned back to look at the kitchen.
Along the way, Randy bragged about his family's braised pork for a long time, and Ah Hua just saw Randy carrying half a pig in, obviously preparing it for himself, looking forward to it, and his saliva had flowed out unconsciously.
Randy pulled Erjin to the hall and sat down, while Henry went to the big well in the middle of the village to fetch water, ready to help Lan Zuo clean up the pigs. He's a surgeon, and he's pretty good at cleaning up his internal organs.
"Erjin, weren't you studying at Master Xu when I left? How did you become a gunsmith? ”
"Don't mention it, although I love to read, I read idle books, and I like handicrafts very much, and I want to sleep after reading the Four Books and Five Classics.
Xu Fuzi beat me several times with a ring ruler, saying that I was a wall of dung and could not be encircled. My father and mother saw that I was really not the material for scientific research, and not long after you left, they finally took me back to the town, ready for me to learn to help my family do business.
Doing business is nothing to me, but I don't like it. ”
Erjin took out his huge hand cannon again, and gently rubbed the barrel.
"I heard that Governor Zhang had established a gun factory in Jiangxia to build the water beads needed by the new army. I took my pocket money as a travel fee, went to Jiangxia, and became an apprentice in the manufacturing factory.
Half a year later, my father and mother finally found me in Jiangxia and beat me up. However, there were foreigners in the factory, and my father heard that Mo Xin, the orc firearms master hired by Governor Zhang with a high salary, also praised me for my talent, so he changed his mind and sent me to the craft school opened by Governor Zhang.
I studied at the craft school for three years, and I only returned to Shonan City half a year ago. Now my family's factory makes accessories for the gun factory in Jiangxia, and has made a fortune.
In fact, a complete gun can also do it, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the government. I secretly made one myself, and it was this Sera Jiong.
My family is not short of money, and my craft has earned money for my family, and seeing that I want to be a gunsmith, my father bought me two bottles of black potion to replenish my spiritual power. Now I'm a senior gunsmith, a junior gunsmith.
That kid from Lan Zhi can't be a military assistant to the governor's yamen, but I have a way with Governor Zhang, so I dared to put it right with them yesterday. ”
Erjin actually found another way and climbed the high branch of Governor Zhang, and his friends are not simple.
No wonder Lin Gengbai, a master of easy learning, was greatly admired when he happened to pass by here, saying that Shi Lanchong's feng shui is good, and a large number of heroes will be produced. Even Lan Zhi, who was naughty and mischievous when he was a child, did not do his job, and caused trouble for his son everywhere, is now quite promising.
"Randy, if you go up the mountain again tomorrow, you must take me with you, I am a junior gunsmith and have never fought, and my Sera Jiong is already hungry and thirsty."
