Girl, Ranger and Dark Horse (2)
On the side of the country road, a man and a horse are looking down at the boiling pot boiling ...... Soup?
There are a lot of ingredients added to the hot pot, such as onions, beef, tomatoes, celery, carrots, eggplant, cucumbers, etc., and the seasonings include pepper, olive oil, salt, sugar, red oil sauce, etc., which can be said to be a smorgasbord that makes people feel scared.
"I think there's a lot of material, what do you think, old man?"
β......β
"The ingredients are fresh, the seasonings are in place, just looking at this color immediately whets your appetite, what do you think, old man?"
β......β
"The most important thing is that it comes from the hand of the great chef Hank, and this pot is full of my heart, it is just the finishing touch, even better, what do you think, old man?"
β......β
"A bite?"
The dark horse glanced at the man with contempt.
You think it's delicious, but it's delicious.
I always boast that it is delicious, and I don't eat it.
Besides, didn't you say you were hungry and needed to stop for something to eat?
The black horse turned his head away, stepped aside, chose a piece of grass where it was most tender, and began to eat it with his head down.
Hank: "Hey, don't be like that, my old fellow, what are you, how can you eat grass? Come on, come on, my pot of soup stew is worthy of you." β
The edges are pale yellow, the main color is green with blue-purple, and the center is a mass of black.
But the scary thing is that you can't smell a little bit of soup in such a pot.
Seeing that the dark horse was too lazy to take care of himself, Hank had no choice but to give up. In fact, it doesn't smell so bad, no smell doesn't mean it doesn't stink, doesn't it smell good, doesn't it taste okay, and doesn't it taste like success.
Hank summed it up.
Picking up the spoon, he took a small sip, and in the frightened sight of the black horse, he took a mouthful of it.
With two clicks, the man's whole face was twisted together, and his whole body twitched violently before he recovered.
Hank: "Uh-ha, sshh...... Woohoo, this, this is obvious, not for me, the taste is too exciting, I'm a lighter, top, can't stand. β
His eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't imagine that his cooking skills had reached such a peak level, and he could only directly impress people's senses physically, no wonder in the antique shop, old friends never let themselves help in the kitchen.
Hank wiped his face, looked at the black horse who had forgotten to chew with his mouth open, and said with a smile: "How old man, do you think the grass tastes tasteless, or do you want to taste my craft?" β
The black horse bowed his head sharply, and he was eating wildly at the grass.
Hank pouted: "What a guy who doesn't know how to appreciate." β
As he spoke, he poured the soup aside, and under the "moisture" of the thick soup, a circle of grass withered instantly.
Hey, I didn't expect that even grass didn't know how to appreciate.
With a silent sigh in his heart, Hank began to clean up the dishes.
Starting again, someone is still tirelessly telling the essence of the so-called cooking along the way, and the dark horse is tortured but unable to escape, and it can't understand why its master can put up with such a person to stay by his side instead of killing him immediately.
Not long after a man and a horse walked, the sound of a solitary soo came from the grass, and then a thief's head and thief's face poked out, just in time to take a picture with a man and a horse passing by.
Hank: "Uh...... Hello?"
"Haha, hello guys!"
Unexpected moving voice, a pale golden ponytail jumped out of the grass, it was a girl.
"Oh, what a handsome horse, my name is Ilya, a ...... from afar Traveler!"
Goo~Lu~
Ilya touched her stomach embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten in a while, I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Hank: "It's a pity that if you showed up sooner, you would have been able to taste my top craftsmanship, and now all that's left is some jerky and ......"
Before Hank could finish speaking, Elijah snatched the jerky, sat down on the spot and began to eat.
Hank clasped his hands and asked curiously, "You're not defenseless at all, aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh......"
Hank: "Don't choke. β
Throw the hydration bladder over.
Ilya swallowed the jerky, took a sip of water, and straightened her breath before saying, "You're not a bad person, I can see it." β
Then he smiled and continued to eat.
Hank raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything more, and caught a glimpse of the old man watching the other man eat with relish.
Hank leaned into the ear of the black horse and said: "Good fellow, I didn't expect you to be so good, no wonder, such a beautiful girl, who can't be impressed?" But for me it is still a little tender, lacking the taste of years, just like a cup of tea, there must be a proper precipitation, in order to brew the best taste." β
The black horse ignored the man, it only had the girl in its eyes, and sucked the saliva that was about to flow out, and the black horse was full of desire.
Pure appetite.
After dividing the jerky by two, Ilya touched her mouth with her hand, stood up and handed the water bag back to Hank, and said with a smile: "I feel you very much, generous ......"
"Hank. β
Elijah: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hank. β
Hank: "Don't call me sir, it's not for me." β
Ilya: "Hehe, I think too. β
Hank: "......"
This girl is really not polite at all.
Taking back the hydration bag, Hank continued to walk with the black horse, and the black horse turned back in three steps, very reluctant to let the girl go.
Hank tugged at the other party and said, "Let's go, what about you looking at Nima with a horse?!"
Saying this, the dark horse really didn't look back and continued to look at it.
Because the girl naturally followed them.
After walking a few steps, Hank couldn't help but say, "Is there anything else?"
Elijah: "No. β
Hank: "And what are you doing with us?"
Elijah: "No, by the way, just by the way." β
Hank: "Oh, where are you going?"
Elijah: "That's it, that's it, that's it, yes, that's it." β
Hank stared at the other party without saying a word, thinking that under the long-term gaze, the other party would slowly retreat, but he didn't expect Ilya to look at him with a smile on his face, not feeling embarrassed at all.
Hank: "What the hell is going on?"
Ilya thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll tell you the truth, I am indeed a traveler from afar, as far as it is, yes, so far. β
The girl drew a large circle with her hands outstretched.
Hank: "So what?"
Elijah: "So I don't know the road, and you're not a bad person, take me along the way?"
Hank thinks it's funny, he thinks that the other party is not a bad person when he meets someone on the road, and this girl who is less than twenty years old is also naΓ―ve.
"How do you know I'm not a bad person? Maybe I just didn't show it. β
Ilya smiled slyly: "I just know, ouch, take me." β
Hank shook his head, ignoring the other man's intention to continue on his way. For some reason, he didn't feel right with this girl.
The plan succeeded, and Ilya was happy again, and began to obediently follow one man and one horse.
Elijah: "Is there anything interesting about the Orn Empire?"
Hank: "Your first time?"
Elijah: "Hmm...... Ah, no, I'm just, I just grew up on the border, so I don't know much about the rest of the Orn Empire. β
If you don't lie, where you prove that there are no difficulties in everyday life, then first exclude growing up on the border, and secondly ask yourself what is interesting about the empire you are in, and then exclude the natives.
Conclusion, there is no need to worry about life, life is better since childhood, so he is optimistic about others, he is a person from other empires, and since he is optimistic and lively, it will not be the Shyya Empire, and the girl called Ilya is most likely from a worry-free family in the Kalbas Empire.
Hank silently figured out where the girl came from, and said, "What kind of fun do you want to go to?
Speaking of this, the girl was excited: "Well, for example, there are a lot of delicious places, or places with a lot of novelties, and of course, places where you can meet a lot of big people, etc., as long as it's this kind of place, I want to go there." β
Hank: "You're a girl traveling alone and not worrying about encountering monsters or being attacked by wild beasts while sleeping at night?"
Ilya waved his hand: "Hey, what's there to worry about, I can take care of myself." β
Hank's eyes narrowed, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
It's still a magician, a female magician, and her qualifications are not bad.
Hank became wary, a magician from a foreign country, and given that the other two empires did not get along very well with the Orn Empire, Hank felt that he needed to be wary of this girl.
Although Hank is not concerned about whether or not the Orn Empire is being spied, he fears that he will get into unnecessary trouble if the "spy" mistakes him for a loyal subject of the country.
Hank: "There are a lot of delicious places in Haikou City, which is lively all year round, and there are many delicacies and complete types. β
Hank was going to follow along with the other person's question first.
"Uh-huh, Haikou City. β
With a serious face, Ilya listened attentively and carefully wrote down the names of places.
Hank: "The place where there is a lot of novelty is of course the free city of Phoenix, which contains almost every kind of thing in the empire, and I think you must be interested. β
Elijah: "That's great, well, Phoenix, Free City. β
"As for the place of the big guys, it's nothing more than the Dukedom......" Hank paused, "or the Imperial City." β
I thought that if the other party was a spy, he would show some flaws when he heard that the imperial city would be more or less flawed, but Ilya not only did not have a flaw, but frowned and refused with a look of refusal.
Hank is surprised that either this is a spy who knows how to hide, or the girl is really a traveler from another country.
But he felt that the latter was less likely than the former, and that the Shalya Empire and the Kalbath Empire and the Orn Empire were almost at opposite ends of the world, and it was hard to imagine that someone would go so far in search of something delicious, fun, and beautiful.
Hank continued, "I happen to have a map of the Orn Empire here, and I can give it to you if you want it. β
He intended to continue the temptation.
Ilya's eyes lit up, and he took the map and said: "Thank you, this is amazing, you are really a good person, with the map all problems are solved, I will take care of the rest myself, thank you again for your generosity, Hank, goodbye!"
Turn around, open the map, talk to yourself, and gradually walk away.
Hank, who was left alone, froze.
Really a traveler?
