The Heartless Mage Chapter 188: eat and drink

Wuxin tied the big owl with a straw rope, and then squatted in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Tell the truth, did you eat the chickens in the village?"

The Great Owl has been living a widowed and lonely life, resulting in a decline in communication skills. Hearing Wuxin's question, he was stunned for a while before reacting. A head twisted to the left, then to the right, and he shook his head in denial.

Inadvertently reached out and touched his big belly: "It's really not you?"

The big owl continued to shake its head in a daze, confusing Wuxin: "is it you?"

Big Owl was a little dumbfounded, feeling like he was shaking his head wrong. Looking at Wuxin with his big round eyes, his pointed mouth moved a little up and down.

Wuxin is even more confused: "What do you mean? Nod if you are, shake your head if not."

The big owl's dark eyes were filled with tears, and she shook her head pitifully.

Su Tao sat aside and said, "I don't think it could be it. Didn't it say that seven or eight chickens were lost? How could it eat so much?"

Bai Liuli stuck her head out from Wuxin's neckline, because she felt that the temperature in the tent was not too low, she wrapped a circle around Wuxin's neck and stared at the big owl with two black bean eyes. When the big owl saw him appear, his wet eyes became more and more seductive. It's a pity that Bai Liuli didn't appreciate his demeanor, so she retreated back into Wuxin's arms very indifferently.

WuXin and Owl are not very friendly, so I'm dubious about Owl's answer. He raised his hand and squeezed his sharp mouth, unintentionally staring his eyes bigger than him, and threatening him with a vicious look: "We finally found a place to live for the winter, if you dare to hurt us, I will eat you. !”

The owl stood upright in fright, and "howled" from its throat, indicating that it understood.

Inadvertently let go of the hemp rope on him: "Okay, let's trust you for a while."

The owl was free, moved to the corner and shrunk its neck into a stubby gray stake. And Su Tao handed the thick insole by the fire to Wuxin: "Let's not meddle in our own business, the dinner for the evening hasn't been settled yet."

Inadvertently, he took off his cotton shoes and put the heated insoles into the shoes: "Actually, I'm afraid of a big beast. The big beast eats chicken and eats smoothly, and it must come very often. Our small tent can't help the big guy. Arch."

After saying this, he stood up holding the big owl: "You also come with us."

Wuxin took all the living creatures in the tent into the woods and didn't return until evening. He led Su Tao in one hand and a straw rope in the other. Two heavy fat hares were tied under the straw rope, but the owl disappeared.

In the village, the smoke is already wafting from the cooking, and the area of ​​the wood carving is limited. Many people do not have a kitchen. Wuxin and Su Tao also set up a stone stove outside the tent. Su Tao squatted on the ground and whistled the flames, while Wu Xin hurriedly peeled the rabbit's skin. Rabbit is too fat and covered in thick fat. Wuxin used a dagger to scrape all the fat into the lunch box, and the rest of the meat was cut into small pieces, and roasted on the fire through the sticks. Farming is a work of strength, and hunting is a work of skill. After half a year of hard work, villagers from all over the world can eat stick noodles, but it is rare to want to eat meat. The aroma of rabbit meat permeates the air, making people angry. A child stumbled over, biting a finger and staring at the half-cooked rabbit meat in a daze. Su Tao was very uncomfortable being stared at by the child, and wanted to give the child a piece, but Wuxin gently pressed her hand, unwilling to move like a rabbit.

A moment later, an old woman chased after him with a hot head, and wanted to take the child home. The child squatted half-squatting and couldn't walk away, the old woman was pulling hard, and the child began to howl with a "wow". At this moment, Wuxin turned his head amiably and asked, "Auntie, do you have white noodles in your house? I also have a five- or six-pound rabbit here, a wild rabbit that is as fat as a pig, and I will replace it with three pounds of white noodles."

From the point of view of exchange, it is definitely worthwhile to exchange three catties of white noodles for a rabbit of five or six catties; but everyone is extremely poor, and three catties of white noodles cannot be easily paid. The old woman was very embarrassed and held the child: "Can I give you three pounds of stick noodles? Good stick noodles, freshly ground this year."

Wuxin waved his hand with a smile: "No stick noodles."

Then he turned over the rabbit meat on the fire on his own. Blindly eating meat is not enough, as time goes by, the nutrition will be unbalanced. Saiwei is the most familiar with these theories, and he often taught Wuxin back then. Wuxin was annoyed by her arguing, but she remembered it when she was annoyed. In fact, it doesn't matter what he eats, but he really wants to get some food for Su Tao. Coarse grains are coarse grains, and there is no fine rice or flour to support people, so he must get something good for Su Tao.

The old woman doesn't have chickens or ducks at home, so she can't make a wish on her children with a lie. It took a lot of effort to get the child away. After a while, she came back with two catties of white noodles and one catty of stick noodles, and wanted to change rabbits.

Inadvertently and not picky, I happily gave the rabbit to the old lady. He immediately made a ball of white noodles, and he told Su Tao with a smile, "I'll give you pancakes."

Su Tao was very happy: "Put some stick noodles in it, it's a waste to eat only white noodles."

He shook his head stubbornly and unintentionally: "No, we don't have enough clothes to wear, and we don't live well, so there's only one left to eat, and we still don't have any good ones? Go and bring the white sugar over, we'll make sugar cakes."

Su Tao has always had no idea in front of Wuxin. Intellectually, she thinks Wuxin should mix white noodles and stick noodles to eat; but emotionally, she is also tired of stick noodles. Craving into the tent like a carnival, she happily took out the sugar.

Inadvertently, the rabbit's fat was refined into oil, and the oil was used to bake sugar cakes. Because the lunch box is used as the pot, the sugar cake is also boxy, with a bit of rabbit meat smell. The well-fed idle people came to watch the fun, looking for the fragrance. They all thought that the young couple would not be able to live a good life. Someone asked Wuxin, "Where did you get the rabbit?"

Wanxin was full, drank hot water and smiled: "Steal it."

Of course no one believed: "Steal from whose house?"

Wuxin replied: "I stole it from the rabbit's house. I stole the rabbit and its parents."

Everyone burst into laughter, and at the same time, they felt that the new little white face was wicked.

There were oil and sugar left in the lunch box. Su Tao added some water and cooked a box of cornmeal porridge for tomorrow's breakfast. Both ears listened to Wuxin chatting with the villagers, and she had no desire to join the conversation. The longer she spends with Wuxin, the less interested she becomes in outsiders. Bringing the cooked cornstarch porridge to the ground, she listened to Wuxin and asked everyone around her: "Who wants to eat meat tomorrow? If you want to eat it, let me know in advance. Whether it's rice noodles or dried vegetables and pickles, I'm willing to change them."

A teenage half-year-old child peeked at Su Tao and said loudly: "Brother, you can take me with you tomorrow too, I will learn from you. I don't want rabbits and their parents, they can get them. Just a **** to satisfy his cravings."

Wuxin smiles like a smile, but is very good at talking: "Okay, I will take you with you. But I just take it, not teach it."

The half-eldest child is happy: "Is my sister-in-law going too?"

Inadvertently saw that this half-eldest child was similar in age to his own half-eldest girl, and immediately took precaution: "She won't go tomorrow."

The half-eldest child is secretly disappointed: "Oh..."

When it got dark, everyone dispersed to rest. The owl also quietly came back with a hairless little field mouse in its mouth. Wuxin asked him to help catch the hare in the woods, but when he saw that the hare was similar in size to himself, and his limbs were strong, he could kick himself a somersault with one leg, and he immediately gave birth to the thought of peace. Taking advantage of the unintentional inattention, he fluttered his big wings and slipped away quietly.

Shyly squeezed into the tent, he was going to feed the voles to Bai Liuli. Wuxin didn't have the same knowledge as him, he stretched Bai Liuli out of the hem of his cotton jacket and placed it by the fire pond. He lied down while gossiping: "You, Bai Chang is so big. It looks like a big eagle, but it's actually a big eagle. Sparrow courage. Tao Tao, come and sleep."

Su Tao lay down on her unintentional arm. The tent looked thin, but it actually blocked the wind and sealed the heat of the fire pit. Wuxin rubbed her face with the back of her hand and found that Su Tao's skin had become rough.

Su Tao is also aware of her change, but she doesn't take it too seriously. Now is not a year when beauty is considered beauty, and she has not reached the age to take beauty seriously. She ate a meal of roast meat and sugar cakes, and now lying beside Wuxin, she was already satisfied beyond measure.

After the night, half-old children came to the tent early, waiting for Wuxin to go hunting. Wuxin didn't disturb Su Tao, so she heated up the cornmeal porridge in the lunch box by herself. After taking a few sips, he turned around and got back into the tent and said, "Tao Tao, go to sleep, I'm leaving."

Su Tao sat up sleepily and agreed.

The weather is getting colder, and the remaining half of the lunch box is still on the stone stove outside the tent. Su Tao went out of the tent and saw that there was no one around, so she went behind the tent with a small water glass to brush her teeth. Just after rinsing out the toothpaste in her mouth, she suddenly heard a "chuckling" sound behind her, as if someone was eating and drinking in front of her house. She suddenly remembered the lunch box on the stove, and she slowly moved forward, leaning against the tent. At the end, when she stretched her head out to take a look, she was shocked, and saw a fiery red fox squatting in front of the stone stove, secretly drinking her own cornmeal porridge!

Su Tao was dumbfounded—if it was a gray wolf who stole the porridge, she might be more determined and run away; but she was vaguely unsure whether the fox was worth fearing. Seeing that the porridge with oil and sugar was becoming less and less, she felt anxious, bent down and stretched one hand in from the bottom of the canvas tent, stroking her fingers on the ground a few times, she groped and grabbed it first. With a paw, it was the owl squatting in the corner to sleep. She let go of her claws and continued to touch. She couldn't find the weapon again, so she withdrew her hand and picked up a stubby dry branch on the spot. She tiptoed closer to the stone stove, she shouted and rushed forward, hitting the fox's head with a stick. The fox was drinking porridge with his head down, when he was caught off guard, and immediately plunged his mouth into the lunch box. And Su Tao immediately shouted: "Come here! There are foxes!"

The fox raised his head, and the cornmeal porridge tickled down the beard around his mouth. Baring his teeth at Su Tao, it was about to do evil acts, but the nearby villagers had already heard the sound. The fox is the most cunning. Seeing the situation is not good, it turns its head and flees, rushing into the woods in three steps and disappearing.

This time, the chicken theft case in the village can be solved so-so. It was a fox that was seen, and there were some who were not seen. A large group of foxes entered the village, wouldn't the chickens and ducks suffer?

Su Tao pouted to brush the lunch box - sweet cornstarch porridge, she didn't want to drink too much, she kept it for her, but she didn't take care of it at a glance, it was a cheap fox.
