Chapter 216: Appetite
Hong Mei had never expected this. She had thought that the intrigues and verbal battles among women were refreshing enough, but she had never expected that a man's sarcasm could be even more impressive than a woman.
Those hurtful words were so sour that Hong Mei couldn't bear to watch them.
However, her subordinates thought she was watching with great interest, and they were almost holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands.
But he saw through it but didn't say it out loud. His subordinate just silently handed her a handful of Danmu gummies.
Some were arguing, some were eating melons, and this seemingly "harmonious" atmosphere was soon interrupted by the creepy beast roar that lasted for three minutes from the depths of Morimize.
Everyone present tensed up and became solemn and alert.
Only Lin Qiu was sitting there drinking nutrient solution as if nothing had happened, as if he was out for a leisurely trip.
Hong Mei's charming and seductive face paused, and she narrowed her eyes and noticed him.
Then her expression changed, and she flung herself to his side, her bright red nails touching his lips. Her breath was like honey, and her voice was charming and seductive as she asked, "Brother Qiu, do you know something? Tell me and I'll feel at ease."
The people around who were on guard also looked over when they heard the sound.
Lin Qiu's eyes secretly gleamed with a glint of pride, and a profound smile appeared on his elegant face. "Mei'er really understands me. I do know a little bit of the inside story. Every year on the full moon day of June 15th, strange changes like this happen in Senmuzhai."
"Oh, what happened inside Morimize?" Hongmei's eyes turned, and her charming and clear eyes flickered faintly.
As expected, this old man Lin Qiu has a lot of secrets.
For so many years, no one has ever discovered the abnormality in Senmize. If it were not for Lin Qiu's suggestion this time, I am afraid no one would be able to discover it in the next few years.
The others also looked unhappy and looked at him with complicated eyes.
Xun Min narrowed his eyes. This Lin Qiu was more cunning than he thought. No wonder his father told him to listen to Lin Qiu. Could it be that he also knew how cunning this man was?
Thinking of this, Xun Min no longer dared to argue, but just looked at Lin Qiu, wanting him to explain more.
But Lin Qiu didn't want to say more, just said that he discovered it by accident and so on.
Finally, he reassured them that such a pilgrimage would take three days and today was the first day, so they were told not to worry and not to stand.
His calm and composed look, as if everything was under control, was extremely oppressive to everyone, making them feel that Lin Qiu was unfathomable.
Obviously, Wu Gang and Xun Min continued to be sarcastic to him at this moment, and did not dare to confront him.
Whoosh, whoosh, extremely subtle noises, so subtle that no one could detect them at all, were heard twice behind the shade of the tree.
A cobra that had been poking its head out retracted its head, coiled up, and continued to sleep with its eyes closed.
At the same time, the Elbe moth, which had originally closed its eyes, opened them.
His tense body became lazy again, and then he sat back, yawned, and ordered Shen Tu to bring him barbecue.
Shen Tu, who was still on guard, was stunned and turned his head with a confused look on his face. "Now? Eating barbecue?"
"Yeah." Yi Beiming nodded with a smile, "If not now, then when? I'll just pick the tenderest part of the deer leg. I like to eat tender meat."
"Oh oh." Shen Tu blinked. He was used to obeying Yi Beiming's words, so he was no longer tense and ran happily to serve their leader.
Yun Qimu noticed the movement on his side, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Yi Beiming looked over with a smile in her eyes and asked jokingly, "What do you want to use in exchange for this information, Miss Yun?"
"What does Village Master Yi want?"
Wu Xingyu stared at him with his dark eyes, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking a little dissatisfied.
Zhong Teng also looked over, pursed his lips with a serious face, walked in front of Yun Qimu and the others, and looked at Yi Beiming.
"Miss Yun is here to help Longteng, so I should be the one to make this deal with Village Master Yi."
Wu Xingyu raised his eyebrows, and the serious expression on the handsome beauty's face relaxed. This guy was quite sensible.
Then just step back and let him do it.
Yi Beiming's expression fell in boredom, and he curled his lips. "I didn't expect to ask for too much. I just wanted to try some of your barbecued meat and vegetables. I've been staring at them for a long time, and now I'm just thinking about this little craving. So, can I have a taste too?"
He had known that Long Teng's people had a good relationship with Yun Qimu, but when he saw that Long Teng, who was poorer than them, could take out a lot of vegetables and the same meat as Yun Qimu and his friends without blinking an eye, he realized that the relationship between Long Teng and Yun Qimu was even closer than he had imagined.
There were also a few people from Molan City. They brought a lot of meat and vegetables with them, and they were even more generous than Longteng's people. Even Dongfang Ji and his people benefited from it.
Yi Beiming was immediately furious. After all, he was the leader of a village. How could he just stand there and watch? He had to have a taste of it.
Originally, he was thinking about finding a reason to go over and have a meal, but now, the opportunity has come to him.
Thanks Lin Qiu!
Looking at his shining eyes, Zhong Teng's mouth twitched. He had never heard that the elusive moth was a foodie?
But he still nodded and agreed, "Okay, but we don't have much ourselves, you have to save some money"
Before he could finish his words, Yi Beiming interrupted him cheerfully, "I know, I know. I'll take it easy. Let me try the barbecue in your hand first. I'll check the quality and tell you later."
Yi Beiming couldn't wait to stand up, walked directly to Zhong Teng, raised his hand and snatched the skewers from Zhong Teng's hand, and Zhong Teng couldn't stop him.
He could only hold out Erkang's hand, and said with a strange and tangled expression, "That was...I bit it."
Yi Beiming not only did not dislike it, but ate it more happily, with a layer of grease on his lips, and said, "Don't worry, I don't dislike you. This meat tastes good."
Zhong Teng: But I dislike you.
Before he could finish his words, Yibei Moth started chattering.
"The inspection is complete. I'm telling you the news now. Every year on the night of the full moon on June 15th, a grand ceremony of worship by all the beasts takes place deep in Senmu Lake. This lasts for three days, and tonight is the first night, so there's no danger. We should eat, drink, and sleep as usual. Don't worry about them."
The sound of the Elbe borer was not loud but not small either, and everyone in the camp could hear it.
Everyone was shocked at this moment, but their bodies relaxed. "Three days of continuous worship, this is more sophisticated than how we live."
"But why didn't anyone notice it before?"
"Okay, now that everything is fine, let's continue eating and drinking as Village Master Yi said."
