In the World Chapter 53: The Food Dispute
Dugu Zhishui shrugged his shoulders and whispered: "What are you afraid of, there are so many people here, and there are no monsters that have really attracted them." As he spoke, he cut off a piece of meat and handed it to her, "This is the secret sauce beef made by Yuyulou, try it?"
"You...... Where did you get so much money?" Ah Yan looked back at the two waves of people sitting in front of the bonfire, and said in a low voice: "You have all come to be a hunter as a doctor, presumably you are not a rich child, since this is the case, why live so luxuriously, the things in the Yulou are not something that people like us can eat." ”
Dugu Zhishui didn't speak, still maintaining the posture of handing things, she looked at the dry food in her hand that was difficult to swallow, her face turned slightly red, and she took the beef. At this time, Sun Xiaofeng came back from his night patrol, and several night watchmen hunted some pheasants and hares, and the captain of the hunter moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything. The hunters suddenly exploded, threw away the dry food one by one, peeled and plucked the hair, and worked very hard.
Sun Xiaofeng sat beside Dugu Zhishui, moved his nose, and wondered: "What do you eat, so fragrant?"
Dugu Zhishui handed him a piece of meat, he took it and tasted it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Where did you buy it?"
Ah Yan chuckled and said, "The things in the Yuyu Building are not something we can afford. ”
Sun Xiaofeng's face suddenly stiffened, and he smiled bitterly: "Brother, this thing is not cheap." ”
Dugu Zhishui shook his head helplessly, "The Jade Mansion is indeed expensive, but that's because their signature is a dish made of the meat of demon beasts. Although the price of some ordinary food in Yuyulou is much higher than that of ordinary restaurants, it is not expensive for people who cultivate martial arts, and this big bag of beef is only ten taels of gold. ”
Sun Xiaofeng's face was a little embarrassed, "Brother, ten taels of gold is not cheap...... We can only hunt a martial artist-level demon beast for one or twenty taels of gold, and our team can't hunt a few martial artist-level demon beasts in a month. ”
Dugu Zhishui was about to speak, when his back suddenly tightened, he turned his head and found that the employer of this mission, the middle-aged man, was looking at him with a flat expression, and the guards on the side turned their backs to him and seemed to be saying something. Dugu Zhishui smiled politely, turned his head and continued: "What are you crying about, there are five hundred taels on this mission, and this money is nothing to you at that time." ”
The man named Han Li looked at Dugu Zhishui's back, his brows furrowed slightly, and for some reason he felt something wrong in his heart.
Dugu Zhishui was not stingy, he took out a lot of food from his bag, and the three of them sat together, which was a bit like a dinner. A square-faced man with a full beard in the hunter team came over with a large cake when he saw the three of them eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Seeing a lot of meat on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sneered: "Several, you can't finish eating so much I see, how about you share a little with me?"
Dugu Zhishui took something, and the man swallowed it like a date, and then stared at him with bright eyes. Dugu Zhishui looked at Sun Xiaofeng, his eyes glanced at the man beside him, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Sun Xiaofeng shook his head imperceptibly, indicating that he didn't know.
Seeing that Dugu Zhishui ignored him for a long time, the square-faced man's face suddenly darkened. He looked at Dugu Zhishui lightly and said, "Brother, how about giving you a tael of silver and selling me half of the beef?"
"Sorry, not for sale. Dugu Zhishui said.
"Isn't it just a little meat? I can buy a lot of silver for a tael outside, and I told you to give you money, why don't you sell it? It's too little? Everyone goes on a mission together, and they have to support each other, as for being so snobbish?" The square-faced man deliberately raised his voice, and the attention of the people in the camp was immediately attracted.
Sun Xiaofeng and Ah Yan's faces changed, and some hunters heard that there was food here, and they also surrounded them. Many hunters knew Sun Xiaofeng and Ah Yan, and as soon as they came up, they persuaded them: "It turned out to be Brother Feng and Sister A Yan, and it's not that everyone hasn't eaten meat, so why bother hurting the harmony for some food." ”
The hunters persuaded the square-faced man again, "Brother, the game over there will be roasted immediately, bear with it first, and wait until it is open to eat." ”
The square-faced man didn't give up, and said loudly: "It's not that I haven't eaten meat, it's not a matter of meat or not!" Just like you said, the barbecue over there will be good immediately, this kid brought the meat out and took it out, what's wrong with everyone padding their stomachs first? Everyone is still hungry, they are all on a mission together, and just now several brothers can share why he can't. I just said that I would give him a tael of silver to buy, but he still wants to blackmail me! Such a selfish person is in the team, it is really scary to think about it, everyone knows how dangerous this mission is, do you think you can count on him in times of crisis?"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers suddenly fell silent, and one person moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Han Li watched the play from the side with considerable interest. "Do you need to take care of it, sir?" asked one of the guards suddenly.
Han Li waved his hand, he really wanted to see if there was anything special about that young man.
The captain of the hunter closed his eyes by the fire, and had no intention of interceding. Whether it is Dugu Zhishui or a square-faced man, they are all recruited scattered people, and their life or death has nothing to do with him.
Dugu Zhishui looked calm, "Brother, I bought these foods from Yuyulou for dozens of taels of gold, and the one or two silver you gave me was not enough for the bite you ate." ”
"Huh. The square-faced man sneered, "Don't look at what you are, just make some broken things and say it's from Yuyulou, why don't you say it's dragon meat?"
"Brother, although I haven't been to the Jade Tower, the things there are not something that can be bought for dozens of taels of gold. One of them said suddenly.
"That's it, this kid is still so dark, let's see, who is this!" The square-faced man saw that someone echoed him, and he suddenly became more arrogant, and bent down to take away the food in front of Dugu Zhishui.
With a bang, a silver light flashed, and a slender long sword snatched out. Ah Yan held the hilt of the sword back, and the blade of the sword was holding the neck of the big man. The big man wanted to resist, but Ah Yan suddenly pressed the sword a little closer, and the blade of the sword suddenly cut through his superficial skin, and subtle blood lines spread down the blade.
Dahan's back suddenly felt cold, and he didn't dare to move at all, he could feel the killing intent of the other party. The sudden change shocked everyone around, including Dugu Zhishui, and Ah Yan looked indifferent, and he didn't mean to let go of the big man at all.
"Auntie...... Girl, I have no intention of offending you. Everyone is a team, so there's no need to draw a sword against each other for this. The square-faced man was covered in cold sweat.
The hunters who were watching around pinched a cold sweat and hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Ayan, don't be angry, this brother did talk a little too much just now, but it wasn't enough to kill him, it's not worth killing people for such a trivial matter." ”
Ah Yan said angrily: "What did you do just now? Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, but they pretend to be stupid and stunned, adding fuel and vinegar. You big men like to watch theaters so much, and think it's funny that others are unlucky, aren't they?
"Hey...... Sister Yan, it's not right for you to say this, how did we offend you? Why are you scolding us like that?"
"yes, why are you scolding us? ”
The hunters around him were suddenly unhappy.
"Ah Yan, forget it, there's no need to be so atmospheric. Sun Xiaofeng pressed Ah Yan's arm holding the sword, but he couldn't let her stop, and he looked at the captain of the hunter helplessly.
"Apologize to him. Ah Yan pointed at Dugu Zhishui with his chin, and said indifferently with the other party's face.
Dugu Zhishui didn't expect Ah Yan's reaction to be so big, but thinking of the experience of meeting the previous times, he was not so strange about it.
"Little brother, right...... I'm sorry......" The square-faced man's voice trembled.
"Sister Ayan, there's no need to be angry about such a thing, why bother with such a person. Dugu Zhishui smiled slightly and pressed Ah Yan's arm lightly.
Ah Yan paused and slowly withdrew his long sword. The square-faced man hurriedly got up and hid out of her attack range. Then a hideous look flashed across his face, and he quickly moved to the side of the weapon, brushing out his saber.
"One against three, how many chances do you think you have to win?" Dugu Zhishui glanced at him lightly, and the big man looked at him, only to feel a sudden and inexplicable panic in his heart.
"Uncle Lin, I'll talk to the shopkeeper when I go back today. Sun Xiaofeng suddenly said to the captain of the hunter with an expressionless face.
The captain of the hunter suddenly laughed a few times, "Xiaofeng, where is it worth mentioning such a thing to the shopkeeper, young people, there will inevitably be friction when getting along with us middle-aged and elderly people." At this point, he turned his head, "Okay, what are you still standing there for, the meat here is all roasted, hurry up and come over to make it, for a little food, it's a lot of trouble, out of breath!"
The square-faced man borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and did not continue to look for trouble, and the onlookers also dispersed to grab the barbecue, and after a while the camp was filled with a noisy noise.
The corners of Han Li's mouth went up, and he sneered, "Interesting, it seems that some people are also very interested in that kid, this hunter team is not as simple as it seems on the surface......
"My lord, will this affect our mission?" asked one of the guards in a whisper.
Han Li smiled coldly, "Let them go, it wasn't ...... to let them come."
Seeing the hunters around him disperse, Sun Xiaofeng breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Ah Yan, you are too impulsive. We are weak and weak, and if we really want to have a conflict, I am afraid that we will not be able to get any advantage. Ah Yan was noncommittal, Sun Xiaofeng shook his head, and continued: "You shouldn't have come to this mission, if the shopkeeper knew about it, I would have to be scolded again." ”
Ah Yan was a little impatient, and pouted: "Why are you like a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, don't you say who will be idle and have nothing to complain about, old man." ”
Sun Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed and had nothing to say for a while. Ah Yan saw that Dugu Zhishui didn't say a word, and didn't know what he was thinking, and whispered to him: "I'm sorry, today's incident is that we have caused you trouble." ”
Dugu Zhishui came back to his senses and smiled: "It's nothing." ”
Ah Yan was a little surprised, and wondered: "You are not surprised at all?"
"The reason for that guy's search just now is really too far-fetched, and at first glance, he deliberately came to provoke. I don't know anyone else in this team except for the two of you, and I can't possibly have formed any bonds, so it's not hard to imagine that he would target me because of someone or something. ”
Dugu Zhishui glanced at the captain of the hunter carelessly, then retracted his gaze and stretched, the entire camp was just a projectile land, as long as he wanted, everyone's every move could be in his eyes and ears.
