Chapter 9: Let's Have a Night Banquet Too
,
Taking advantage of the night, Vera quietly came to the bottom of the mountain. [paoshu8]
Out of an abundance of caution, she hid in the middle of the jungle and looked out at the campfire not far away.
And I saw on the top of the bonfire a fat lamb roasted to a golden brown. From time to time, fat dripped from the top of the meat and fell into the fire, making a sizzling sound. At the same time, the enticing aroma of barbecued meat wafts through the night breeze, making it appetizing.
Vera's eyes widened when she saw this. I felt like my stomach was getting hungrier, and I couldn't help but move my body. But she accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground, and suddenly made a soft 'pop' sound, which startled herself.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped up next to the fire, and under the light of the fire, he quickly bent his bow and arrows, and shouted, "Who?"
When Vera heard that voice, she felt a little familiar, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The man said again: "Come out, or I'll release the arrow~!"
Vera hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Don't let go of the arrow, I'm out." But don't be afraid to see me. ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the jungle step by step. Then he came to the man, and waited quietly, waiting for the man, like everyone else, to scream and flee in fright.
But what made her strange was that the man was relieved when he saw him, put down his bow and arrows, and said, "It turned out to be you." ”
Vera blinked inexplicably, looking at the person's appearance, she vaguely seemed to have seen it, and couldn't help but say strangely: "Huh, do we know each other?"
Lorraine smiled and reminded, "What? Don't you remember? Two days ago, you came out to rob ...... for the first time."
Vera suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, I remember, you are the bad young master with sores on the top of his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and a hairless young man. ”
Lorraine's smiling face stiffened, if she hadn't known that she couldn't beat her, she would have been swept over a long time ago.
He rubbed his cheek with some toothache and said, "You're right. ”
Verage said, "How did you get here?" ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to see the fragrant lamb roasted on the fire.
Lorraine couldn't help but have a twinkle in her eyes when she looked at her slanderous appearance. I was very suspicious in my heart, maybe I didn't have to bother with any tricks at all, just take a lollipop and shake it in front of this idiot dragon, and I could coax it.
He forcibly suppressed the wild beat in his heart, smiled reluctantly, and said, "What, are you hungry?
"Ah, yes. Vera said casually, only then did she realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed her words: "This ...... It's not good. Family...... People still have things to do. ”
Even though he said this, his legs couldn't take a step.
Lorraine smiled: "It doesn't matter, I bake a lot anyway." I can't finish it alone, so you should do me a favor. ”
"That's it......" Vera tilted her head and hesitated for a moment, then took out a reluctant expression, and said helplessly: "Okay then, I'll do you a favor." ”
With that, he walked briskly over and sat down beside the fire. Then he leaned on the barbecue and took a deep breath, shaking his tail tied with a pink bow, while muttering intoxicatedly, "It's really fragrant~!"
Lorraine also returned to her place and sat down.
He saw that some of the roasted meat on the fire was already about to be burned, so he hurriedly turned it over, but some of it was still burnt, so he couldn't help sighing, and said, "After patronizing and talking, these are no longer edible." ”
As he spoke, he drew his knife and cut off the leg of the lamb, and was about to throw it away.
Vera was extremely heartbroken when she saw it, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." Give it to me, it doesn't matter if it's just a little mushy. ”
Lorraine hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you sure, if you eat these things, you might have diarrhea." ”
Vera said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, my stomach is good, these things can be dealt with." ”
Lorraine shook his head, handed the leg of mutton over, and said, "Don't blame me if you really have diarrhea." ”
Vera took the leg of lamb, thanked her, and took a small bite carefully.
Feeling the tender juice melt in her mouth, her nose was sore, and she almost cried.
Although I have only been away from home for a few days, I can't eat well every day, I can't sleep well, and I can't remember this feeling when I eat this fragrant food again, just like it was many years ago.
She sniffled, swallowed back the tears that had reached her eyes, and then buried her head, and took a small bite with great grace, but ate it quickly, and in a matter of moments, the leg of lamb had turned into bare bones.
Lorraine looked at her gobbling up, handed another piece of meat, and said with a smile: "You eat slowly, there is still something here." ”
Vera nodded and muttered a thank-you.
Lorraine said: "I'm curious, didn't you shout kill and rob at first? Don't you grab the things here when you want to, and eat them when you want? Why do you still say thank you?"
"What do you say~!" Vera immediately put down the barbecue in her hand, stared at him with round eyes, and puffed up her anger, and said, "We dragons are dignified. We are only robbing the rich and giving to the poor, doing the right thing for heaven. Never bullying the poor. ”
Lorraine secretly said in his heart: That's because the poor can't scrape oil and water off their bodies, right? But looking at the other party's clear big eyes and sharp teeth, I think it's better not to anger her. Perfunctory: "That's right." Admire, admire. ”
"That's right~!" Vera tossed aside the gnawed bones, and said, "You haven't sued me yet, why did you come here?"
Lorraine smiled and said, "Didn't you kidnap a castle hostage? They are coming tomorrow to pay the ransom, and I am here to fight the front station." ”
Vera exclaimed in surprise, "Really? ”
She turned her head to look at Lorraine, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "To thank you for this dinner, tomorrow after I receive the ransom, I will give you five, no, or two, ah, no." It's still a good one. Tomorrow I will give you a gold coin as a token of appreciation. ”
"Thank you so much. Lorraine couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her pained face. Said: "If I get the gold coins, I will definitely keep them well, because maybe I am the first person to get the money from the dragon~!"
Vera looked at him suspiciously, suddenly thought of something, tilted her head by the light of the fire, looked at Lorraine carefully, and said: "You are really strange, as soon as others see me, they scream and jump and run away, why are you not afraid at all." ”
Lorraine grinned and said, "Why should I be afraid of you, didn't you say? You are dignified, and you never bully the poor."
Vera scratched her head and whispered, "You're so good, it seems right." But why do I always feel that something is wrong?"
The two chatted for a while.
The moon was now almost mid-heaven, and the night was deep.
Although Vera was only half-full, she saw that there was only one-fifth of the barbecue left on the shelf, and although she was a little reluctant in her heart, she stood up for the sake of politeness and said, "Thank you for dinner." It's time for me to go, too. We'll see you tomorrow. ”
With that, she turned around, spread her wings, and then ran a few steps, suddenly flew up, and then flapped her wings and flew away.
Lorraine watched silently as her figure disappeared into the distance, leaving him alone by the fire.
There was silence all around. Only the wood resting on the fire made an occasional pop.
Lorraine suddenly raised her voice and said, "Come out, she's gone." We have something to do tonight. ”
I heard the sound of a rope, and two dark figures emerged from the bushes next to me.
They walked up to Lorraine's side, and one of them said, "Sir, you really scared me to death just now. ”
Lorraine shrugged and said, "I said it was going to be fine." ”
The man looked at the sky in horror and suddenly said, "Are you sure she won't come back suddenly?"
Lorraine touched her chin and laughed, "I'm sure." She's busy tonight. ”
As he spoke, he tossed a small, empty bottle aside.
The man said, "Huh, what's that?"
Lorraine smiled weirdly and said, "That's my special laxative." Didn't you notice that I didn't eat a single bite of that roast lamb?"
