Chapter 369 Tanggu Village
In the girl's eyes, Ye Suifeng caught such a big fish with just a casual throw.
It's simply amazing!
The big eyes are filled with little stars.
"It seems my fossil squat fish method is still very effective."
Ye Suifeng was also somewhat smug. This fish was much bigger than the ones that the anchors had stepped on to death. It must have weighed at least five or six kilograms.
"I heard from grandpa that the fish in this river are very delicious."
The little girl spoke in a crisp voice and even swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
"Do you want to eat?"
Ye Suifeng asked.
"Um!"
She nodded quickly.
"good!"
Ye Suifeng smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to try to cook it."
After saying this, under the surprised gaze of the little girl, Ye Suifeng went into the bushes, looked left and right, and finally came out with a few dry branches and a handful of soft fluff.
"Keep an eye on our fish."
Ye Suifeng said this, found an open space, squatted down, and began to rub the dead branches vigorously.
The little girl took a look at the fish. They were all dead. What was there to see?
She was more curious about what Ye Suifeng wanted to do now.
So he squatted beside it, looking like he didn't understand but was very interested.
Ye Suifeng recalled the scene in his mind and rubbed the dead branches with all his strength.
After a while, black carbon-like substances appeared.
Yes, he was rubbing wood together to make fire.
This is a physical job.
Before long, beads of sweat began to drip down his forehead.
Fortunately, the dead branches were very considerate and green smoke slowly rose.
When he saw a spark, Ye Suifeng stopped immediately, carefully placed the spark into the soft cotton, and then blew it slowly.
After a moment, thick smoke billowed.
With a "puff" sound, a flame slowly rose.
"Wow!"
“You can make a fire like this!”
The little girl screamed in surprise. She had never seen such a lifestyle before.
Looking at Ye Suifeng's eyes, he became more and more admiring.
Ye Suifeng enjoyed this pure admiration very much and said with a smile: "What do you think, am I awesome?"
"Uh-huh!"
The little girl nodded vigorously, her ponytails swinging constantly.
But soon, a puzzled expression appeared on her face again.
"But if you want to make a fire, why don't you use flint?"
As she spoke, she took out two small black stones from her arms.
Ye Suifeng turned his head and looked at the flint in her hand, silent for a long time.
"This..."
"Because using this method to make fire will make the grilled fish more fragrant."
"Yeah, that's right."
He made up a lame excuse to try to cover up his embarrassment and speechlessness.
Fortunately, the little girl was simple-minded and did not ask too many questions.
After a while, smoke rose from the river and the aroma of grilled fish slowly spread.
Ye Suifeng was already starving, so after it was cooked, he took it off immediately, gave a small half to the girl, and then started to wolf it down.
Although it was several centuries different from what Gu Youlan made, at this moment, he just felt that this grilled fish that was almost burnt was the most delicious thing in the world.
The little girl was right, compared to ordinary fish, this fish was indeed very delicious.
Moreover, it even carries a trace of spiritual power.
Even without any seasoning, it tastes delicious.
In a short while, he finished his portion and let out a long burp.
I feel relaxed all over.
The girl was still eating in small bites. Ye Suifeng leaned against the bluestone and was about to chat with her when suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps came from the woods.
"Erya, why are you here?"
It was a man's voice, but it sounded a little old.
Ye Suifeng turned around and saw a strong old man with a full beard appearing in front of him.
His temples were gray, but he looked full of energy. He was carrying a large backpack filled with stones, which looked very heavy.
After seeing the fire and Ye Suifeng, the old man was obviously stunned.
"Grandpa!"
The girl shouted happily and then came to the old man.
The old man quickly protected her behind him and looked at Ye Suifeng vigilantly.
"Who are you?"
He asked aloud.
Ye Suifeng thought for a moment and replied, "I am from Yunxiao City."
The old man frowned slightly.
"City people?"
"Then why are you here?"
Ye Suifeng was slightly disappointed. This answer showed that the old man didn't know about Yunxiao City.
He got up, shook off the grass and dust on his body, and said, "I am in trouble."
"I was framed by a nasty guy, so I ended up here."
What Ye Suifeng said was not a lie.
He was indeed brought here by the God of Creation.
"But you don't look miserable at all."
The old man said.
Ye Suifeng shrugged.
“I have always been an optimistic person.”
The old man was silent for a moment, then asked again: "You don't look like a monk?"
Before Ye Suifeng could say anything, Erya shouted, "Grandpa, big brother is not a bad guy!"
"Although his grilled fish tastes terrible, he is still very kind!"
Arya’s words left Ye Suifeng stunned for two consecutive times.
Big brother?
Even though he hasn't aged, he doesn't deserve to be called a big brother, right?
Also, is his skill in grilling fish really that bad? No wonder she ate so slowly just now...
"It's okay, I won't bother you."
Ye Suifeng smiled and said, "You guys are busy, I'll take a walk by myself."
It's normal for people to be wary in the mountains.
And he didn't want to interfere with other people's lives casually.
You should know that you may have the aura of a protagonist. This terrible aura will generally bring disaster to others wherever you go.
As a human being, you should have some sense in your heart.
However, his behavior made the old man relax.
"Little brother, this place is deserted and you have no skills, so you will definitely not be able to get out."
He said, "Otherwise, come back with me. There is a path leading to the outside world there."
Ye Suifeng was stunned.
Two-level reversal?
"Brother, let's go together!"
"I'll teach you how to grill fish when we get back!"
Arya also shouted.
Ye Suifeng was helpless.
"Oh well."
"But I won't stay long."
The purpose of this sentence was, firstly, to prepare Arya mentally, and secondly, to relieve the old man from worrying that he would refuse to leave.
A moment later, a group of three people walked forward along the weed-covered mountain road.
On the way, Ye Suifeng also roughly understood the situation of the old man and Erya.
They are villagers of Tanggu Village, and the old man is the village blacksmith.
Tanggu Village is quite large, with about two hundred households, but they have always lived in seclusion in the mountains and have little contact with the outside world.
Moreover, the vast majority of Tanggu Village residents are unable to practice cultivation.
It's not that there is no way.
It seems like it has been like this since our ancestors were very distant.
I don’t know why.
But they have long been accustomed to this kind of life, with men farming and women weaving, and a beautiful countryside.
"Little brother, Yunxiao City should be very far away, right?"
As they walked, the old man said, "Your accent is really strange."
"Well..."
Ye Suifeng replied: "It is indeed very far."
There are thousands of languages in the world, and he just found a language that was closer to the little girl's from his memory.
Not to mention the accent, many word orders are different.
It's like the old man is speaking Mandarin and Ye Suifeng is speaking classical Chinese.
But fortunately we can communicate.
"No wonder."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "By the way, don't go near that stream again."
"There is a terrible monster in the river. You are lucky today, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to find its corpse."
Ye Suifeng raised his eyebrows.
No wonder there is spiritual power in that ordinary grass carp.
It’s a pity that I didn’t see the monster.
It was lucky, otherwise, the corpse would have gone into its stomach as well.
We walked and talked for about half an hour before an ancient mountain village appeared in the valley ahead.
