Chapter 81: Emergencies
Seeing what Hevian said solemnly, Ryan also put away his joke and said, "What's the matter, is it a problem with engineering construction?" ”
Hevian nodded and said: "It's a problem on the side of the cemetery, this evening, when the person in charge of the cemetery finished work, a slave was attacked by an unknown creature while washing his hands by the Linton River, and his body was bitten off from the neck.
The companion said that he saw a black shadow in the water, but in an instant, the person's head was bitten off, and the speed was very fast. ”
Hearing this, Delai touched his chin and said, "Could it be an attack by a water demon or a demonic beast?" ”
"Has anyone else been attacked, have you seen what it is?" Ryan's thoughts are a little different from Delai's, although the Linton River is not small, but he has never heard of the traces of water demons and demonic beasts, so it is impossible to appear out of thin air, right?
"The man was frightened, I had asked carefully before I came, it was a flash of black shadow, nothing else was seen, and no one else was attacked."
Hevian spread his hands, and he was helpless in this situation, so he came to seek Ryan's help.
"Could it be a fellow traveler who committed the murder, after all, there are no other witnesses." Hans happened to come by at this time to get a drink, and stopped to listen for a while.
"It's unlikely, I looked for someone to see it, and the person's wound had obvious marks of sharp teeth biting, not like it was caused by man."
Hervian shook his head, he had always been thoughtful, if it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't help it, he would never have come to Ryan.
"I'll personally lead the team to take a look tomorrow, it may be a lonely demonic beast or something, don't go near that side yet." Hans took over this errand without hesitation, and after the last battle, he broke through the bottleneck that had puzzled him for a long time, and broke through to the intermediate knight, and had no problem dealing with ordinary monsters.
"That's all it can be." Hevian reluctantly agreed, there was no better way.
"Okay, don't be sad, it's quite a coincidence that you're here, the food stewed in the room is almost ready, sit down and have a few drinks with us."
Ryan got up and poured Hevean himself a drink, much to the latter's surprise.
Looking at his somewhat frightened and surprised expression, Ryan smiled and said, "You have been so busy that your feet don't touch the ground during this time, and you have worked hard, so you should pour you a glass of wine." ”
After speaking, he looked at Joel, who was a little restrained, and said, "How did you come here with Hevian, didn't I let you disperse first?" ”
Hevian hurriedly got up and said with some shame: "He was met by me on the road, he said that he was the cook in your castle, and he was going to go with me after knowing that I was here, and I saw that he knew your whereabouts, so I didn't pursue it much......"
He also saw at this moment that this person was obviously coaxing him, and he couldn't help but be secretly confused, and he actually brought people in so casually.
Ryan didn't expect Hevian to have such a careless side, so he couldn't help but nod him and said, "You, forget it this time, pay attention next time, and have more eyes." ”
"Let's talk about it, why do you want to deceive people, you must know that coaxing officials with this article is already a bad intention, and I can sentence you to a hanging."
Ryan didn't scare him, that is, he met him, and the rope was put around his neck if he was replaced by the noble Joel.
"I'm not lying, you told me to come to your castle and you want to hire me as the head chef." Joel immediately knelt on the ground and shouted grievances.
Ryan thought for a while, he seemed to have said something like this, and corrected: "What I said is that I will hire you if you have real skills, you haven't proven it yet, of course you can't count, how is it not a lie?" ”
"My lord, I will definitely satisfy you, I don't believe I can prove it to you now." Joel said confidently.
"Oh, okay then, just go ahead and try."
This was just a small episode for everyone, and they didn't care about it and started talking.
Among several people, if you want to say that you have rich experience, you have to look at Delai, his footprints involve the west, north, south, and central four realms of the kingdom, which is beyond the reach of everyone present.
In this era of backward transportation development, people's footprints are often limited to territory or surrounding territories, and generally do not exceed the boundaries of a county.
Even Ryan had only learned about the world in books, but in fact, there weren't many places he had personally traveled, not even as good as Alan.
He also listened to Delai's peculiar customs and strange things with relish.
A few people stopped drinking and began to eat and drink, and the freshly baked bread was the most delicious.
Hervean didn't know where to take a green plant and nibble on it in his mouth, it looked like some kind of tree vine, as thick as two thumbs, and the skin was smooth, only to see him tear open the green skin with his teeth, revealing the pale green stem inside.
He took a bite of it, chewed it carefully, and ate it with relish.
Ryan looked curious, can this thing be eaten?
"Mr. Hevian, what's in your hand?" He had seen it when he first came to Canna, it was everywhere, and it looked like a rattan attached to a tree.
"Uh, you mean that? This is called green pole, and there are also called green vines and rattan poles, there is no specific name, and it is everywhere in Linton County.
It doesn't seem to affect growth all year round, and it's fast, and the farmers are annoyed by it, because they often encroach on the cultivated land, and they have to organize people to cut it down on a large scale in the early spring of each year.
However, it is not useless, it is rich in water, it has a sweet taste, it is sweet and juicy to chew, and it is often used in the fields to quench the thirst of children.
When I came back from the cemetery today, I saw it, so I brought one back. Hevian is worthy of being the village chief for several years, and he knows all about these things, after all, he used to organize people to "cut poles" every spring.
The more Ryan listened, the more strange his face became, this thing is so familiar.
"This thing is a little new, you can try it for us." Delai has walked a lot, but he has never heard of such a thing, and he is curious to try it, and Ryan also means this.
Hevian only pulled a piece of it casually, and seeing that they were all interested, he picked up the dagger that cut the flesh on one side and cut it in two.
Hans was a native and had little interest in it for a long time, and it was called a "snack" for the poor in Lintonshire, which didn't fit his identity.
The green rod is cold to the hand, and the skin is also stained with some juice that flowed out during cutting, and it has a faint cyan color by the light of the fire.
Learn Hervian's method to peel off the skin, take a bite, the fiber in it is very hard, the bite is a little laborious, the sweetness is not very obvious, far less than the sugar cane in the previous life, but the juice is much richer, the upper and lower teeth chew, squeeze out the last bit of juice to spit out the dregs, no different from eating sugar cane.
"Isn't this an otherworldly version of sugar cane?"
