Chapter 22 Strange Old Man

The next day, Liu Qingqing got up early in the morning and entered the original world.

As for her robbing someone yesterday, how could it be considered robbery? This was clearly medical expenses. She treated the man out of kindness, so how could she not charge him a little for the treatment?

Just like that, Liu Qingqing went in without feeling guilty at all.

As soon as she entered, she appeared at the place where she logged off last time. This was the center of the forest. Liu Qingqing decided not to go back to the city first, but to see if there were any good things here.

I have to say, I actually found some stuff after just this little search. Not to mention the energy stones underneath, Liu Qingqing now only mines for energy stones of exceptionally high purity, and doesn't even bother with the lower-quality ones. After all, treasures are meant to be mined for the rarest, right?

In addition, she also found some wild onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings. After all, there were not many seasonings in her space, and there would always be a day when they would be eaten up, so she collected as much as she could.

As she was walking, Liu Qingqing saw a pheasant suddenly rushing towards her. It was nearly one and a half meters tall, fat and strong, with large colorful feathers. It was simply a beauty among chickens.

Liu Qingqing looked at it and thought it was very beautiful and delicious.

She took out a knife from the space and tiptoed to the rooster. At this time, the rooster was pecking at the grass seeds and insects on the ground and was not paying attention to the situation behind it.

Liu Qingqing rushed forward and chopped the rooster with a knife, but she didn't expect that the rooster's feathers were very hard and could not be cut at all. The rooster then discovered Liu Qingqing's presence.

The rooster was furious. It was such a beautiful feather that the human didn't appreciate it, but he actually wanted to chop it off? This is simply unforgivable!!!

It rushed forward and was about to peck at Liu Qingqing's head. Liu Qingqing dodged quickly. She stepped on a tree, did a backflip, and then kicked the rooster directly on the head. The rooster was not easy to deal with either. It dodged Liu Qingqing's attack by turning its head.

Liu Qingqing was a little angry. She just wanted to eat a big cock, so why wasn't she allowed to eat it? Why was she resisting so strongly?

Big cock...

Guess why I did this?

Liu Qingqing didn't want to waste any more time, so she used her lightning ability to strike the rooster. However, she also used her wind ability to create a protective shield around it, as she really didn't want to cause a forest fire.

The rooster fell to the ground, shaking and trembling, looking extremely miserable. Not only that, but it also exuded the aroma of meat.

Liu Qingqing happily dragged the big rooster to an open space, cleared the surrounding plants and then began to process the chicken.

She first plucked the chicken and then removed its wings and legs. She also chopped off the part above the chicken's neck and its butt, and then proceeded with the secondary processing.

Liu Qingqing put the two extra-large chicken legs into the space and planned to take them out to let Xi Chen taste the taste of the chicken legs. She quickly made a fire, stuck the two chicken wings on the fire, and began to slowly roast them.

Liu Qingqing smeared spices all over the chicken and stuffed the belly with mushrooms and other vegetables. She then wrapped it in oversized leaves she found nearby, covered it with dirt, and made a simple version of beggar's chicken, which she then buried in the soil.

She carefully controlled the heat to prevent the chicken from becoming tough and dry, or from being partially cooked and partially undercooked. The waiting part was truly excruciating. Liu Qingqing could smell the aroma of the chicken but couldn't eat it. It was so painful!

After baking for a while, it was finally done. Liu Qingqing took out honey, ginger juice, cumin, chili and other seasonings from the space, brushing her mouth while humming:

"There was a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. Kun was so big that it couldn't be cooked in one pot! It transformed into a bird, named Peng. Peng was so big that it needed two grills! One secret recipe, one spicy. Add some cumin, some chili, and a bottle of Snow Flower, and I'll take you to the ends of the earth." [Note]

Just when Liu Qingqing was having fun, a faint rustling sound came to her ears.

She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards a certain place, saying:

"Come out, don't be a villain behind my back."

Liu Qingqing glanced over and found that the person who came out was an old man.

She looked at the old man and felt that he had an inexplicable aura, like a murderous aura. She thought that this man must have seen blood.

Liu Qingqing pondered this secretly in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. After all, how could a normal girl distinguish what murderous aura was?

"Who are you, old man? What are you doing here?"

The old man before shook his cloak, looking a bit reckless.

"Hey, kid, why are you so disrespectful?"

"Who are you to me to tell me the difference?"

Liu Qingqing muttered something, and the old man also saw that Liu Qingqing didn't seem like someone who particularly respected the elderly and loved the young, so he didn't "take advantage of his age". He saw that, and no matter how he tried to take advantage of his age, Liu Qingqing would not accept it.

"My friend, you are eating meat here!"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with me. It just smells so good!"

“Oh, I think it smells good too.”

Seeing that Liu Qingqing was not fooled, the old man rushed over in two or three steps, picked up the chicken wings and started to eat them.

"Hey, you..."

Liu Qingqing was speechless. Is this even a robbery? She was furious.

So she rolled her eyes and took another chicken wing, eating it while glancing at the old man's movements as he ate the chicken.

I can't help but complain in my heart, this eating style...

But I didn't say anything. It was already in his mouth, so there was no point in saying anything.

"Hey little girl, anything else?"

The old man ate very fast and finished his meal in no time.

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, which was really rude.

"No."

She has a good temper now, but in her previous life, if anyone dared to snatch her food, she would have slapped him in the face to let him experience the fickleness of human nature.

"Hey, little girl, I'm so old now, can you please be considerate of me? I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time."

Liu Qingqing thought that in this world, faces can be changed, so who knows if you are a real old man. However, her attitude softened a little. After all, she also came from a world with a lack of food, so she could understand his behavior.

If someone had eaten in front of her in her previous life, she would probably have snatched the food away. Don't even think about moral issues. She can't even fill her stomach, so why think about moral issues?

Liu Qingqing finished the chicken wings in her hand in two or three bites, wiped her mouth and said:

"Okay, I'll keep you here for a meal, just wait!"

As he said this, he overturned the fire and dug out the simplified beggar's chicken underneath. Although it couldn't compare with the original one, it was also fragrant.

The old man smelled the scent and looked intoxicated, his mouth watering. When Liu Qingqing tore off the leaves, the old man's expression showed that she was really afraid that he would snatch the whole chicken away.

Liu Qingqing protected the whole chicken, carefully guarding it, and then used a knife to cut the chicken in half vertically, giving half to the old man:

"Here, this one is yours."
