Chapter 5: Dinner

It was getting late, and night fell in the small fishing village.

As usual, Aguer's family sat together in the not spacious main house for dinner, the only thing that was a little different from the past was that there was an unexpected guest like Wu Neng on the table today.

The food on the table was very simple, a large bowl of wild vegetable soup as light as water, a few small cakes and a small dried fish, this was the dinner of the Aguer family.

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian were not seriously injured, so they were both resting in their respective beds for now, and the Aguer family was very kind to bring food to their bedside.

"Uncle Aguer, thank you so much today, this is a thank you gift for the three of us, please accept it." As Wu Neng spoke, he took out five gold beads from his pocket, these gold beads were found from Zhu Mingtao's storage bag, and Shi Cheng told Wu Neng to find an opportunity to give these thank-you gifts to Aguer's family during the day.

"Wherever Brother Wu said, helping each other is a virtue in the teachings of the Holy Lord, and a virtuous person will be favored by helping others." The eldest lady in the family said, and as she spoke, she reverently quoted a passage from the Book of the Sacred Ones, "The Divine Ones have incarnated in thousands of ways and walked on the earth. When he traveled to a town one day, people did not know that he was a god king, but they also took food and medicine to help him. Tomorrow he will go to a city again, and people will not know that he is a god king, and they will chase him away with cold eyes. After the experience was completed, and he returned to the gate of the kingdom of God, the Holy Venerable summoned the people of Eryi to come and said: Whoever helps me will enter the kingdom of God with me; Whoever chases me will be slaved to the underworld. The wrongdoer deserves eternal punishment, but the righteous receive eternal life. ”

Wu Neng smiled and nodded in response, but there was some surprise in his heart, he was a native of the Cold Moon Country, but he really hadn't seen many people as pious as Mrs. Kaga.

Aguer didn't want to accept Wu Neng's gold, not because he didn't love money, but because he felt that Wu Neng gave him too much, and he had only seen the real appearance of gold once in his life in the hands of a merchant who went to the village to discuss business with the village chief.

However, under Wu Neng's resolute and repeated insistence, Aguer's family finally accepted the gold happily and thankfully, as if Wu Neng was the one who helped others.

"Okay grandma, let's hurry up and eat, I helped Abba and Grandma do a day's work today, my stomach is hungry, and this Angkor's stomach must be hungry too." Agul's eldest son, Kanda, said.

There are five members of the Aguer family, Aguer, Aguer's wife Medda, Murda's mother Kaja, eleven-year-old eldest son Kanda, and nine-year-old daughter Diya. In addition to Kanda and Dia, the Aguer couple had two children, both of whom died during the pandemic.

On the table was a rather worn-out, papyrus-bound copy of the Sacred Honourable Honourable T

After praying with his family in accordance with the traditional family meal etiquette of the Qingyun Sect, everyone began to eat. Wu Neng had never seen much such etiquette since he was a child, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Wu Neng looked at the wild vegetable soup in front of him, he took it and took a sip, the light and bitter soup almost made him vomit.

In the end, with the help of his own personal will, Wu Neng still smiled and swallowed the wild vegetable soup in his mouth that he had never drunk. Under the backdrop of the wild vegetable soup, Wu Neng felt for a while that the dry fish and hard cakes suddenly turned into delicacies.

"Is this for people to drink?" Wu Neng wrinkled his nose and thought, "How did Uncle Aguer's family manage to swallow this kind of food every day?" ”

Aguer saw Wu Neng's strange expression and asked, "Brother Wu, is it not to your taste?" ”

"Ah no, no," Wu Neng hurriedly waved his left hand and said with a smile, "It's very delicious, it's very delicious." ”

"That's good." Aguer smiled and said, "If it's not enough, there's still here." ”

Wu Neng hurriedly waved his hand and said with a dry smile: "Thank you, uncle, it's enough for me to drink these." ”

When Wu Neng was struggling with Caitang, Kanda suddenly asked curiously, "Brother Ang, I heard my father and sister say that you and the other two uncles floated over from the sea?" Are you fishermen too? ”。

"We're not fishermen." Wu Neng replied with a smile, he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to find a casual excuse to prevaricate, "We are actually businessmen, the ship was caught in the wind and waves at sea, and the three of us escaped by luck, and finally survived and floated here." ”

Mrs. Kaja smiled mildly and said, "This is because of the blessing of the Holy Venerable's Heroic Spirit, and the three of them must be people who accumulate virtue and do good deeds on weekdays. ”

"yes." Wu Neng replied with a smile, "By the way, Uncle Aguer, do you still have that kind of herb here that can be used to heal wounds after being lit, my companion said that it seems to be called ...... What is the name of crowtail grass, it is an herb that grows on the coast. ”

Wu Neng didn't know how to translate crowtail grass into Chu Ze, so he could only translate it literally from the official dialect.

Sure enough, Aguer couldn't understand what Wu Neng was saying, "You're talking about cliff flowers and grass, right, I'm sorry, that's all we have at home, and if you want to buy it again, you have to wait for the market to open on the riverbank." ”

"That's ......" Wu Neng's expression was a little distressed, "But uncle, your area is all coasts, and there should be this herb growing in the wild, right?" It's okay for me to go out in the wild and pick a few plants. ”

As soon as Wu Neng's words fell, the expressions of Aguer's family immediately became a little frightened, "Little brother Wu, you don't want to die?" If you are caught by the forest rangers from the big city, unless you are from one of those big chambers of commerce, they will kill one by one! That is, a forest ranger in the west who guards the hillside is easy to talk to, so that the people in our village can secretly go over and pick some wild vegetables and come back. ”

"Huh?" Wu Neng's eyes widened, "What is the truth of this?" Could it be that the land outside the village has an owner? ”

"yes." Aguer's family nodded in unison, "Every piece of land here belongs to that bachelor in Peel City. ”

"Bachelor?" Wu Neng asked suspiciously, "It should be your king or city lord or something, right?" ”

"In the past, the lord of the great city was indeed called the king." Murda, Agul's wife, said, "Later, when the master became the master, he stopped us from calling him king, but changed his name to something...... Belch...... Anyway, it's a long list of things, and I can't remember it, but I know that the land inside and outside the village belongs to the adult. Fortunately, the adult didn't make up his mind to hit the sea, otherwise we fishing villages wouldn't know what to rely on for food? ”

"And this kind of king......" Wu Neng frowned, "Then there should be a market in the Peel City, right?" As long as I pay the entrance fee, no one who wants to come to see me will stop me. ”

"This ......" Aguer and his wife looked at each other, and both shook their heads, "We have never entered that city in our lives, anyway, the village chief told us so, as long as we pay the entrance fee, we can enter, the village chief married the bachelor as his wife, and what their family said should not be false." ”

"I see." Wu Neng nodded, and in his heart he was thinking about going to the peeling city to take a look, the herbs were still secondary, after all, Shi Cheng's storage bag still had a bunch of medicines, and the top priority that Wu Neng encountered at the moment was that his machine weapon was emptied again in the battle with the crow.

Although Wu Neng didn't take any of the forest rangers in Aguer's mouth, he really couldn't make trouble for himself because he was not familiar with the place at the moment, and he really couldn't make trouble for himself with two serious illnesses beside him, so he finally decided to be a law-abiding foreign citizen of this land and go to the market to see if there was anything he could buy.

I don't expect to find anything good in this place, but it's better than nothing to walk around and have a look.

"Fortunately, there is a Heavenly Machine Battle Armor, although I actually have injuries on my body, but it is much better than the situation of Lao Shi and Lao Tie." Thinking of the Heavenly Machine Warframe, Wu Neng's heart was a violent stinging, he had not had the courage to check the situation of the Tianji Warframe after leaving the Fengping, but some things had to be faced after all, Wu Neng finally made up his mind to wait until dinner to check the situation of the Warframe.

Dinner was quickly finished, and Wu Neng left after eating, while Aguer's family stayed in the main house to chat.

At this time, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian were lying together in a small side room, because the climate of the small fishing village was very humid and hot, in order to be able to better recuperate, at Shi Cheng's request, Tie Mian finally moved his wooden pile bed into the house where Shi Cheng was.

"Iron Mask, how are you feeling now?" Shi Cheng asked weakly.

"Your elixir is very powerful, and it will probably take me nearly fifty days to fully recover." Iron Mask said calmly: "If you really don't fight with the Grandmaster face to face, you don't know what the word Grandmaster means, the strength of the Blood Raven Leader is really terrifying." ”

"It's good to be able to save your life." Shi Cheng said as he looked at the roof above his head where he could see the stars.

"What about you? How long does it take to heal? ”

"At this rate, it will take about 70 days to fully heal." Shi Cheng said: "Fortunately, I refined a lot of medicine before leaving the Southern Wilderness, otherwise now we would be calling the heavens and the earth not working." ”

"Is the poison in your body detoxified?"

"It will take a while, but don't worry, the heart stabbing poison is really weird, but it is not difficult for me to understand, but there is no suitable medicine, and the speed of detoxification will be much slower."

"That's good."

After a moment of silence between the two, Iron Mask asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet, at least we'll have to figure out where we are." Shi Cheng replied.

Iron Mask nodded, and after a few moments, he stood up on his own and prepared to walk outside the room.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go out for a walk, and I'll go to Wu Neng by the way."

"What's the matter with him?" Shi Cheng asked.

"Now that's the only one he can go out and walk around, I'll go talk to him, go out for a walk in the next two days, and figure out where we are as soon as possible."

Tie Mian walked out of the house, and soon, he saw Wu Neng who was sitting under the big tree not far away.

Iron Mask walked over, and by the light of the small bonfire in front of Wu Neng, he saw the tears on Wu Neng's face and his red eyes.

Iron Mask's gaze shifted downward, and he quickly understood what was going on.

The badly damaged Heavenly Machine Battle Armor was lying on the bluestone slab in front of Wu Neng, judging from the expression on Wu Neng's face, this treasure of the mechanism that had condensed the efforts of countless elites in Yanmen was probably a thing of the past.

Iron Mask didn't bother Wu Neng, he stood quietly beside Wu Neng.

After a long while, Wu Neng found Tie Mian standing not far from him, he quickly stood up and forcibly pulled a smile, "Lao Tie, you are here, how does your body feel?" ”

"It's fine." After speaking, Iron Mask looked at the Heavenly Machine Battle Armor and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Did you say the Heavenly Machine Warframe?" Wu Neng looked at Tie Mian's eyes, he choked for a while, and then said with a miserable smile and softly: "The luck in the misfortune is that the most core power part in it can still be dismantled and used." ”

"I'm sorry, Wu Neng." Iron Mask suddenly said, "If only I could be stronger......"

"What does this have to do with you? The one who should blame myself is actually me. Wu Neng wiped his eyes, "The old crow is right...... If only I were a monk in the realm of cultivators......"

After saying this, Wu Neng looked at Tie Mian with firm eyes and said, "Old Tie, teach me to practice martial arts, I want to become stronger!" ”
