Chapter 23: Fish Soup and Jerky

Due to the influence of the weather and environment, the eating habits of Bingzhou are very rough and simple, if it weren't for the fact that Duan Lao brought the frozen fish that Ryoma didn't care about eating, they would only be able to drink a bowl of Yabu boiled paste with moss and flour that they were reluctant to eat on weekdays tonight.

Now, there are not only meat porridge boiled with fish and moss, but also cakes with a unique flavor that can satisfy the appetite of several people.

However, what made the girl Yabu even happier was that her brother, who had been dependent on her for her life, had returned, and with her were two big men from Snow Castle, and these two big men had brought some jerky to spend the night, which was really good!

Although there are a lot of people, their siblings are too big to deal with the night outside, the one of the two beds inside can be given to the elder brother from the two adults from Cymbal, and her own bed can be given to the seemingly plainly dressed, but extraordinarily atmospheric son.

Yabu thought so, but she was holding the jerky brought by the two Snow Castle Lords in her hands, and wanted to use her brother's hunting knife to chop it into pieces and put it in the fish soup pot, presumably this would add a little more flavor, and the boy should like it.

But this is not the case with the girl, the fish is rotten, and the jerky is not suitable for cooking. Maybe Miss Yabu can make a pot for those two adults alone, wouldn't it be better?" said Duan Lao and took the fish soup pot away, for fear that the girl Yabu would dry half of the meat in her hand.

"Ah, I see!" Yabu said embarrassedly, "I don't know how to cook, usually my brother does it!" As she spoke, she turned out an iron basin, chopped the dried meat and put it in the basin, and found some remaining moss vegetables to put in it, and added some snow water to put on the fire rack that Duan Lao had just vacated for her.

That's all she knows, and if her brother is here, she will definitely do better than her. It's just that my brother is talking to the adults in Snow Castle, so it's better not to disturb. Jabu peeked at her brother and the two Snow Castle adults who were sitting in another corner of the outer room, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but she kept looking at her from time to time.

The water in the basin is gradually boiled by the charcoal fire, and the dried meat also floats up and down with the bubbling water of "Gu Du Tu Du", and a peculiar fragrance spreads.

I can't help but take a rough bowl, and I have to scoop out a bowl of soup from it to taste it often.

However, a hand reached out in front of her, and that hand was holding a steaming bowl of fish soup.

"The master said that it is commendable for Miss Yabu to stay with me for the night, so I invited Miss Yabu to drink a bowl of fish soup to express my gratitude!" Duan Lao smiled and put the fish soup in the hand of the girl Yabu, but the empty bowl was taken down by him and put on the ground at some point.

It was the fish soup that the boy invited her to drink! Yabu held it in her hand, and instantly felt that the fish soup in front of her was the most delicious thing in the world, and the fragrant dried meat cooked on the fire rack seemed to have become tasteless.

"Snorr", Yabu swallowed the fish soup along the edge of the bowl while blowing it, and after a while, the fish soup was drunk by her.

"Little sister, have you drunk the boiled jerky soup?" asked a tall young man dressed as a hunter as he walked past the two Snow Castle adults.

Yabu didn't notice anything unusual, and replied casually, "Brother, I just drank fish soup..."

"What! Why don't you drink the soup I brought you with jerky? Why?" the young man Yatu was furious and yelled at Yabu, "Do you know that it is the jerky brought by the two adults of Snow Engburgh, and it is extremely precious?"

The brother who has been familiar for many years suddenly changed, which surprised the girl Yabu and was also scared to tears, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she was stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, Duan Lao had not left yet, and when he saw this situation, he said: "Miss Yabu, my master has invited me to come in for a while, and I hope it will be convenient!" The first half of the sentence is to the girl Yabu, but the second half of the sentence is to look at the girl's brother, Yatu.

"Hmph!" Yatu didn't seem to want to talk to Duan Laoduo, and turned around and walked towards the two Snow Castle Lords.

Duan Lao was not angry, he was still smiling and squinting his eyes, leading Yabu, who was confused and aggrieved, to walk inside.

When I entered the door, I saw a girl of her age sitting on the chair that rushed to the door, boredly playing with her fingers curling her hair, and in front of her was the handsome and beautiful woman, who nodded slightly when she came in.

And on the chair on the other side of the table, the good-looking boy was closing his eyes and concentrating, his eyebrows were clear, his lips were red and his face was white, maybe he was better than her.

"Master, Miss Yabu is here!" Duan Lao approached Luo Buyi and reminded softly.

Luo Buyi finally raised his eyes when he heard this, squinted and smiled: "I frightened Miss Yabu, but there is something to ask below, Miss Yabu thinks that today's big brother Yatu has anything different from what he wanted to do in the past since he entered the door?"

"Today's brother, since you enter the door..."

Yabu's thoughts couldn't help but go back to not long ago......

The shouting outside the door attracted the attention of everyone who was busy cooking, especially the girl Yabu was even more happy, almost jumped three feet high, ran over and opened the wooden door, and standing outside the door was indeed her beloved brother, and two figures wearing cloaks and hoods.

"Brother!" the girl Yabu pounced, trying to let her brother, who had returned unexpectedly, hug her.

This may be a habitual action between Yabu and his brother for a long time, after all, the two depend on each other, and it is impossible to get close. However, I didn't expect that my brother, who would catch her firmly on weekdays, was on one side, and he was able to pass her rushing figure, so that she didn't say anything, and almost fell to the ground.

"In front of the two Snow Castle masters, don't be presumptuous!" said the elder brother Yatu with a cold face, and the tone of his voice was extremely unfamiliar, which made the girl Yabu feel a little uncomfortable, so that she didn't bother to pay attention to the two so-called big people in Snow Castle.

Later, when the elder brother Yatu and the girl Yabu entered the house, they were not surprised to see Luo Buyi and the others, nor did they speak, and directly led the two big men of Snow Castle to the outer corner, opposite the direction of the white donkey.

Everyone was crowded outside, and it was supposed to be lively, but since the return of his brother Yatu, even Luo Buyi, who had been talking and laughing, stopped communicating, and just looked at the girl who was the same age as the girl Yabu.

And for some reason the girl shook her head, and she didn't know what she meant.

At this time, Xu is brother Yatu's hospitable instinct came into play, so he came over and handed the girl Yabu a heavy bag, and said: "Little sister, this is the jerky brought to us by the two adults of Snow Castle, I have tasted it, it tastes very good, you can give it to the guests to satisfy their hunger!"

The girl Yabu was overjoyed, took the cloth bag, and was startled when her hand touched her brother's hand, because her brother Yatu's hand was as cold as ice, and his skin was stiff, without half elasticity.

But she didn't think much about it, she just thought that her brother had just returned from the ice and snow and was so frozen that she respected her brother even more in her heart.

Open the cloth bag in your hand and take a look, the fruit is a good jerky, I don't know what beast it is taken from, but the fat is white and the meat is red, although there is no trace of moisture, it is not difficult to see that the meat is fat and thin, if you eat it must be fragrant and full of mouth, quite chewy.

It's just that the girl Yabu didn't notice that the moment she opened the cloth bag containing the jerky, Duan Lao and Bingluan's faces changed drastically, and the look of disbelief disappeared in a flash, and the shocked face was well concealed.

"Young master, Yi'er, come inside and talk!"

Bingluan gave Luo Buyi and Fang Yi a look, and the three of them entered the room together, but they didn't know what to say.

The girl Yabu was just about to invite a son to taste the rare high-quality jerky, but when she saw that she had gone back to the middle, she could only give up temporarily, so she wanted to add the jerky to the fish soup, but was stopped by Duan Lao.

recalled the performance of my brother since he came back today, although the girl Yabu had a strange face, she didn't know where to start.

On weekdays, my brother is generous and bold, and he is quite gentle with her, and his face is almost always smiling, but today when his brother comes back, he is almost unpretentious to her, although he calls her little sister, but he does not have the slightest affection, she at first thought that her brother was busy receiving two adults in Snow Castle, so he couldn't take care of her, but now he thinks about it but he doesn't feel like it.

And in the past, except for the brother who came back from looking for food, he would have more or less a little gain, but this time he returned empty-handed, although there was a jerky gift from two Lord Xueyingbao, but it was not the same as before, the elder brother exchanged the prey back.

Didn't the brother go out for a few days and didn't catch the prey? Or did he not take care of what happened? Why didn't he mention it to her sister?

Thinking of this Luo Gongzi asking his brother if there was anything abnormal compared to usual, the girl Yabu was suddenly shocked, could it be that her brother had hit the evil spirit?

Seeing that the girl's expression was uncertain, Luo Buyi knew that the girl still had a certain suspicion in her heart, but he didn't plan to say anything, but just said: "Miss Yabu, don't think too much, just ask casually." But..."Luo Buyi changed his words and asked again: "Miss Yabu once said that her family escaped with Brother Yatu because of a demon. I don't know what happened to Miss Yabu, is it inconvenient for you to reveal it?"

Although it is quite bad for a girl's family to recall that kind of thing, in order to find out the ins and outs, Luo Buyi can only ask the girl Yabu ruthlessly.

Fortunately, a few years have passed since the incident, and Yabu no longer recalls it with unnecessary sadness: "It was one night, a guest came to the neighbor's house, and my father, mother, and sister all went to help buy food, and it took a long time to come back. Then, when they went to bed at night, the three of them had a stomach upset and went out to the toilet. At that time, my brother and I woke up quietly, and my companion wanted to look for someone at the door, but I saw—" Yabu's eyes were full of horror, and he continued, "I saw two humanoid monsters full of spikes in the moonlight... I'm gnawing on my dad and sister!"

"Ah!" But Fang Yi was startled by the picture described by Yabu, and hurriedly covered his mouth after reacting.

Yatu outside seemed to hear Fang Yi's cry and shouted, "Little sister, what are you doing?"

"No... It's okay, brother, I'll go out now!" Yabu subconsciously wiped the tears from his eyes, and then bowed to Luo Buyi and walked outside.

"Ice Commander, what do you think..."Luo Buyi turned his head to look at Bingluan.

Bingluan nodded and said, "Yes, it should be what we just discussed." ”

Fang Yi let go of the hand covering her mouth and whispered, "Then this Yabu girl is too pitiful!"

Luo Buyi nodded approvingly, most of the joys and sorrows in the world are not the same, nor are they connected, but they are enough to arouse people's sympathy.

"Let's go meet those three... People?"

Remember that there is a permanent address for knives in the world
