Chapter 36 Chapter 10 The Strange Uncle in the Wilderness

Spring drizzle fell on the outskirts of the Acropolis. On the thin path, there is still a smell of dust at this time. The endless rain, falling quietly from the sky, washed away the light dust hovering in the mortal world, and also washed away the blood, tears and sweat stains in the world. Yi Yangjiu, Yi Ya, Kai Fang, and Shu Diao and a group of four avoided the checkpoints, walked a deserted path through the mountains, and walked around the big city. After leaving the country from Wei State, to go to Qi State, you have to go through a lot of closures. Naqi State was the fiefdom of Jiang Ziya, the commander-in-chief of the Zhou Dynasty who defeated Zhou Dynasty. It was located in the Shandong area in the northeast of Wei State. It was quite far away from Wei State, almost reaching the sea.

Few teenagers are actually quite unfamiliar with the mysterious and vast Qi country with the Jiang surname. In fact, apart from Yiyangjiu's deep hatred of having his family destroyed, these close friends didn't have to accompany him on this trip to Qi. If it wasn't for helping Yi Yangjiu, they wouldn't have been accused of murder for no reason. If it wasn't for helping Yiyangjiu, they wouldn't have to leave their familiar home in such a busy way. Apart from prescribing prescriptions, Yi Ya and Shu Diao actually don't like going abroad, they just want to live a peaceful life in the streets of Weiguo for the rest of their lives.

But Yi Yangjiu knew that he would never thank them for this incident. Because there are some kindnesses that cannot be repaid even by thanking them. Yi Yangjiu also knew that if Yi Ya and any of them suffered the same disaster, he would flee with them without hesitation. That is friends. A kind of friend who really knows and cherishes each other, but refuses to speak out. Along the way, although the journey was very hard, Yi Ya and the others really avoided talking about the real reason for the journey, nor did they mention the helpless sadness of never being able to return home. The funniest trip ever.

The four of them played while walking. Although they were all urban teenagers who grew up on Acropolis Street, it was not hard to walk in the mountains. After the enlightenment ability of "Houji", everyone has a preliminary understanding of their own soul ability. Yiyangjiu's soul "Luo Ye" is even more comfortable in the trails in the mountains and forests. With its movements, Yiyangjiu can know the characteristics of many plants in the mountains and forests, and often find edible wild vegetables in the mountains. During Xiaoxing's overnight stay, the powerful plant growth power of "Luoye" can even set up a rattan curtain for them to protect them from rain and wind at night.

In addition, the vertical mink's animal communication ability is able to find a lot of game such as mountain rabbits and roe deer for them. And when he was communicating with animals, just like what Kai Fang had seen before, his cyan female primordial spirit really helped him by the side, allowing him to better understand the animals' thoughts and thoughts. As long as there are birds chirping in the empty mountains and wild beasts humming, the vertical mink can know the situation in the mountains from the slightest sound. In this peculiar tour group, there is a fat man Yi Ya who is good at cooking, which of course makes their life more comfortable and happy.

The strange thing is that when the fat man Yi Ya was sweating profusely, he was busy frying and frying, but his fat Yuanshen, who looked like yellow and pickled radish, seemed to be okay, and still just smiled with a good temper, There was no interaction with Yi Ya. But in such barren mountains and wild mountains, Kaifang's old man Yuanshen "relieving worries" is of no use, and Kaifang rarely uses him for divination. However, everyone has been convinced of the predictive ability of "relieving worries". On that day, "Jieyou" had already predicted the scene before Yiyangjiu's family was wiped out, but unfortunately, no one could interpret it at that time.

The four of them traveled for several days, and on this day they had already crossed the country of Cao and entered the border of the country of Lu. The State of Lu is also a descendant of the Ji family of the Zhou Dynasty. The founding monarch of the state was the famous "Duke of Zhou" son Dan. It is said that the people of Lu State pay the most attention to the rules and regulations, and they pay attention to the rules and regulations in everything. The young people are all children in the market. I don't want to enter this country to see the prescribing of fate. "I heard that the people of Nalu State pay attention to etiquette even when going to the toilet." Yi Ya blasphemed to everyone, "Sneezing should be in accordance with the ancient customs. If you go to such a place, you will really suffocate five hundred people to death. Well done people."

While chatting and laughing, the night gradually fell. The four of them walked in the mountains for a while, seeing that the sky was dark, and planned to find a flat place to rest for the night. The nature of young people is to love to play and laugh. Even if there are all kinds of sorrows, they are easy to forget. After rushing for the past few days, Yi Yangjiu has gradually recovered from the panic and sadness of the family's extermination. Although the dim memory of the family's tragic death is still there, it has faded a layer of color. But when he thought of his family, he still felt a little sad.

Although most of his family members treat him badly, they are all relatives who grew up together. These people have been the closest people in his life since he came back from the west when he was two years old. Even Yi Yangqing, the eldest brother who framed him maliciously, remembered his cold and fake expression, but now he misses him a little bit. "Hey," Yi Ya's voice suddenly came from beside his ear, "Jiu Geer, why is your boss in a daze?" Yi Yangjiu was taken aback, only to realize that several people were staring at him. "Are you in a daze?" Yi Ya smiled and said, "You're thinking about women again, aren't you?"

"I'm thinking about your woman." Yi Yangjiu couldn't help retorting, the few of them were used to fighting, they didn't even need to use their brains to reply, and blurted out narrow words, "And everyone is thinking, what do you want me to do? " "Nothing, just ask you to ask your soul, if you want to pick a place for everyone to rest." Yiyang wandered around and saw the primordial spirit "Luoye" walking slowly from behind, staggering towards the east. In the past few days, Yi Yangjiu discovered that "Luo Ye" has the ability to find a resting place.

The places he finds usually have water sources, and there are enough trees, flowers and fruits to feed everyone. Yi Ya and the others saw that Luo Ye had pointed out the direction, so they followed up back and forth. A few days ago, Luoye picked flat and spacious places with good places for giant trees to live in, but today I don't know why, but just led everyone to the deepest part of the forest. After walking for a while, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help showing a suspicious look, turned around, and looked at each other in blank dismay with his companions. "Ask it." Shu Diao whispered, "Luo Ye" moved forward with his lips, "Why do I feel weird as I walk?" Yi Yangjiu thought about it for a while, then concentrated in his heart. He and Luo Ye have some kind of strange telepathy ability, which is sometimes more useful than talking. Sure enough, Luo Ye turned her head, still smiling cutely, but still walking forward firmly. If it is so firm, it must have a unique purpose. Therefore, the four had no choice but to follow him obediently, and gradually went deeper into the forest. Suddenly, a strong smell entered everyone's noses. It was vaguely as if someone was cooking delicious food in this deep forest. After rushing here for a long time like this, everyone didn't eat anything well, and all of them were teenagers whose bodies were growing, so they naturally became hungry easily. Smelling such a fragrance lifted everyone's spirits and almost forgot where they were. "It smells so good." Yi Yangjiu licked his lips, "I'm starving to death, I must find something to eat later." Fatty Yi Ya tilted his head and took a deep breath. "Mountain mushrooms, wild ginger, rabbit meat, and wild pheasants..." He seemed to be a famous master, although the food was not in front of his eyes, he closed his eyes, as if appraising the best delicacies in the palace, "...Impossible, this wild pheasant can't be cooked in this way, it needs to be sautéed with green onion and garlic first, and then stewed slowly..." The rest of the people didn't have time to pay attention to him, they just sniffed around, only to find that Luo Ye, who was leading the way, disappeared in the dense forest in front of him with a vertical leap. Yi Yangjiu and the others chased after them, penetrated into the dense forest, and walked for a while, only to find a small open space in front of them. At this time, the night was falling, and the air was full of twilight, but a small fire appeared in the open space. If there is fire, it means there are people. The man sitting before the fire was the strangest man you could ever meet in your life. In that little clearing, instead of a small fire, there was now a huge campfire. On the blazing campfire, there was a broken cauldron that could almost allow people to take a bath in it. A big corner was missing from the body of the tripod. From the missing corner, one could see a pot of thick broth boiling hot inside. This person seemed to be alone and did not see any companions, but in such a wilderness, he cooked this pot of hot soup that could be eaten by ten people. Yiyangjiu and Kaifang had relatively fine personalities, and at the moment they all looked at this strange man in unison, but they were a little taken aback. This person is wearing a purple fox fur coat, that purple fox coat was extremely precious in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, not a famous prince or nobleman, how could anyone afford to wear it? However, such a rare and expensive coat was very unlucky for this person. I saw that the fox fur on the fox coat was almost all gone, and it was filthy, with patches of oil stains. It seemed that He wiped his mouth after eating, and some places were covered with dirt that he didn't even dare to think about. But looking at his appearance, this man has a disheveled face, but his eyes are full of spirit. Such a filthy appearance, but he still wears a crown on his head, and there is a precious emerald on the crown. His appearance was supposed to be good, but he grew a big tangled beard, and he couldn't even see his face clearly. Seeing the sudden appearance of Yi Yangjiu and other four young men, this strange man in the outskirts did not show any surprise. Instead, he showed his white teeth and smiled brightly and cutely. Amidst the crackling sound of firewood burning, suddenly, there was a thunderous low muffled sound of "goo hee hee" for no reason. It was Yiyangjiu's stomach that made the sound. This big boy was already hungry at the moment, smelling the strong smell of meat, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Others, of course, were not much better off. The weird man laughed loudly, waved the branch he was using to fiddle with the broth, and gave up his seat, indicating that Yiyangjiu and the others could sit down. "Come, come, a few hungry boys, come to my place to drink soup." When Yiyangjiu and the others heard this, they were overjoyed and ran over hurriedly. The fat man Yi Ya frowned, took a few sniffs, and said dissatisfied: "Not good." The strange man showed approval in his eyes, and said with a smile: "But I don't know what's wrong?" Yi Ya looked around and saw several handfuls of wild ginger and lettuce for seasoning on the ground, he held it in his hand and smelled it, approached the stick from the strange man's hand, and sprinkled some leaves and stalks of wild ginger into it. "In this broth, there are hares and pheasants, right?" "In addition to these, there are two other things." The strange man laughed: "But I want to test you, can you guess it?" Fatty Yi Ya was startled, closed his eyes and sniffed again. "...Well, there are really other things..." He smelled it for a while, as if lost in thought. Yiyangjiu and the others next to him were panicking with hunger, and saw the two of them playing the game of playing the game, and were about to yell and curse, but saw Yi Ya's meditative movements, not far away from him. The primordial spirit, the figure of the fat man in the yellow color, actually gradually lit up in the firelight. And the silly smile on the fat man's Yuanshen's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a dignified expression. "It's long... the delicious meat is as delicious as chicken, ah." Yi Ya opened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and suddenly realized: "That's a snake, and the hind legs of the roe deer." The strange man showed surprise on his face, and kept nodding. "That's right, the little fat man really has a way, but he doesn't know what's not good in this pot of soup?" After Yi Ya put the seasonings in, he stirred and said, "There is nothing wrong with the hare and snake meat. The rabbit meat has no fishy smell, and the snake meat is as delicious as chicken. It is good in the first place, but the mountain pheasant is not. It is hard and hard to chew fishy food, in addition to cooking for a while, it also needs to be seasoned more to remove the fishy smell." He talked like a master, "And the hind legs of the roe deer, I don't think it is The things that have just been hunted have probably been stored for a while, so they need to be handled more, so as not to have an expired stale smell." The weirdo nodded: "I see." Fortunately, Yi Ya's craftsmanship is really extraordinary, this correction didn't take much time, and the broth was cooked in a short while, and I don't know where the strange man got a few bowls, Yi Yangjiu and the others were already hungry Panicked, he poured the broth and drank it with a snort.
