Chapter 19: Changing Meat You know, in the past, these punches fell on them...
You have to know that in the past these punches were all thrown at them.
Ximingren recalled how he used to be when he first joined the team and how unruly he was. At that time, it was his master who was mainly responsible for beating him up. Thinking back on it now, he felt pain all over his body.
The ghost scholar's attitude was much gentler. As Ye Lu approached, he became more obedient for a moment. He asked, "Master Dao, what are you going to do with this strange corpse?"
"Make a weapon." Ye Lu dragged the strange corpse to the side of the carriage. As soon as the corpse of the Dodder was put down, the black dogs that were originally curious and wanted to come over watched the whole process. For a moment, they were a little afraid of Ye Lu and ran away from a certain range, and were reluctant to come over.
Originally, these black dogs were very close to Ye Lu, mainly because Ye Lu, the Son of Mount Tai's God, had extraordinary talent. The black dogs thought that this two-legged beast smelled good and was very gentle. Sometimes when Ye Lu got off the car, the head dog would even pat his head.
Ye Lu didn't even notice this. He lowered his head and talked about his plan, saying: "I was a little angry just now, and I used a little too much strength. This strange corpse is a little damaged, but it should be usable."
As he spoke, he was still mumbling something.
Hearing this, the ghost scholar's mouth twitched. "Master Dao, is this what you call a bit too strong? You used this much strength when you beat us. It seems that you were too soft-hearted towards us, right?"
However, the ghost scholar could only say gently: "I know."
Fortunately, Helan and He Si's group on the other side were well-informed. Although they were surprised at Ye Lu's extraordinary talent, there were precedents in the village after all, and Helan's talent was not much better. The two of them recovered quickly, and because they each had things to do, they did not stay too long and left.
As soon as Ye Lu finished talking to the ghost scholar, he saw the lazy and playful man behind him.
"Huh? Where are my aunt, fourth uncle and others?" Ye Lu was a little puzzled as to why his elders ran so fast.
Xi Mingren saw a lot of jokes. He thought that Helan and He Qi left so quickly because they were out of control and embarrassed to stay in front of the younger generation. Xi Mingren lazily gloated in his heart, and heard what Dao Ye said, and replied: "They still have to deal with the weirdness over there, so they went back first."
"It seems that there are two clones of Dodder in the escort team."
"Oh, it seems that this monster is indeed a bit annoying." Ye Lu understood instantly and frowned a little. It seems that this monster is quite special.
However, Ye Lu was only puzzled for a while and soon recovered. He excitedly told the ghost scholar about his initial idea: "I'm lucky today. I'm still thinking about finding a weirdo to make a weapon. It's best if it's plant-based, but minerals are also OK. Originally, Fourth Uncle and the others said that these two types of weirdos are the least, and most of the weirdos that are too sneaky are beast-based."
"I never expected that my dream would come true."
"As soon as I saw this weird thing, I already thought of what the weapon could do."
Oh? The ghost scholar was originally listening in a distracted way, thinking about how to deal with this dodder. He didn't know if he could eat it, and he would have to show it to the guards later. When he heard Ye Lu's words, he instantly became interested. He saw Ye Lu's eyes shining, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of weapon?"
"You will know when the time comes." This time Ye Lu did not answer directly, but avoided the question and kept it in suspense.
Now, both of them became interested. Taoist had never introduced weapons so formally before. Generally speaking, if he had such an attitude, it proved that he was more than 80% sure.
But Ye Lu didn't want to say it, and there was nothing they could do. They were just curious.
The next day, everyone in the fleeing team knew about the great achievements of Ye Lu's family of three, especially after hearing that Xi Mingren and Ye Lu had killed a Huang Li-level monster, they became even more famous. The ghost scholar was even quietly pulled over when he was chatting with Aunt Huang outside.
At first the ghost scholar was a little confused. When he came to his senses, he was already in the middle of a group of people, both men and women, gathered not far from the team, and a little further away was a forest.
Aunt Huang brought him over, her voice was particularly loud, and she said with a smile on her face: "Here I am, here I am, I brought Ah Guiwazi here, you can have a look."
"Let me make it clear first, this kid is a little shy, so you can't bully him casually, otherwise I will run to your door and curse him." Aunt Huang has a cheerful personality and likes to make friends. She usually has a good temper, but when she is unhappy, that temper will show up. The ghost scholar has also seen it.
After the ghost scholar stood firm, he discovered that in this short circle of space, everyone had something in their hands, either vegetables or meat. He also had meat in his hand, which was the meat of the dodder that Ye Lu and his team had killed yesterday. This time, he asked the people in the guard team and they said it was edible, so he came over to ask Aunt Huang.
Before I could react, I was dragged away.
Now it seems that almost all the people who do housework in He Village are here.
This is also another sense of being the master of one's own house.
"Hey, come quickly, come quickly, Madam Huang, what are you talking about? Aren't we just curious about Ah Guiwawa's family? There are only three little kids, and we haven't seen the person in charge. Now we finally see him. We are not the kind of people who are blind. Don't worry." There were women picking vegetables in the crowd, and the ghost scholar even saw a man preparing medicinal herbs. The woman who was talking moved to the side and waved to the ghost scholar, indicating that he should sit over.
The ghost scholar understood that this meant that the villagers officially recognized them as a proper family. Now that there was someone in charge to take on the responsibility, some things would not be avoided by them. This was also a good sign.
The only exception was that the ghost scholar never expected it to be under such circumstances.
That's right. Everyone is in the village now. Those in charge of military forces have to go on patrol, and the rest have things to do, such as preparing dry food or checking the harvest. Don't they have to talk while working?
The ghost scholar accepted it quickly and sat down without any hesitation. He wore the same green robe as before, which they patched up and put on again. There was no other way. Since there was no market, they had no place to exchange cloth. The only remaining cloth in the house was taken away by Uncle He Qi, who said he would find someone in the village who could make robes and make one for the three of them.
But that will take some time too.
"We are from the Qian family. Qian Bacun is my father-in-law." The woman who spoke smiled before she spoke. She was three parts friendly and seven parts cheerful. She was tall and had a little bit of weird power, but it was terrible. She smiled at the ghost scholar and said, "Qian Gouzi and Qian Linzi in the guard team are also two disappointing kids in my family. I think Ah Xi Wawa knows these two people."
The ghost scholar suddenly realized. He had heard of the Hilarious People. It was said that there were two teenagers in the guard team who were not yet adults and had strong bodies. This was not the point. The point was that those two guys were very interesting and could always find some good things every time they went out hunting.
Some are plants with strange powers, and some are fruits, which should be the talents of the two brothers. Those things are generally not of much use, they just taste better, and people with awakened talents like to eat them. The two brothers don’t want much, as long as they are given enough meat, they will exchange.
The person who played the game changed several times.
"It turned out to be them." The ghost scholar relaxed quickly, he said with a smile, dragging the meat in his hand to sit more comfortably, he had eaten it a few times. It tasted very good, and he planned to change it in the future.
"Oh, is this the strange meat of the Huangli level?" Aunt Qian of course saw the change in the ghost scholar. When he mentioned her two children, the ghost scholar's attitude became more relaxed. She smiled a little helplessly and said, "Did the guards say it's edible?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone present pricked up their ears to listen, including a few young boys in the corners. Well, their talents have not yet awakened or have just awakened. They can't do anything, but they can't just sit there. So, they were sent here by the adults to run errands.
When the ghost scholar saw this, he knew everything. He wanted to ask about the plan for this strange meat and what the requirements were in exchange. He mentioned it to Aunt Huang this morning, but he didn't expect the other party to be so quick. He took care of it this afternoon.
The ghost scholar was amazed at the speed of the people in this world.
No one expected that it was because of the scarcity of Huangli-level monsters, especially Huangli-level monster meat. After hearing Aunt Huang's exaggerated words, many families were tempted. Now they were fleeing from famine, and there were many dangers along the way. They had enough food at home, and the only thing they were worried about was that the head of the family did not have enough monster power.
As soon as I heard about this Huang Li-level monster, I was excited.
"Well, this morning A Lu brought the meat to show to Chief Helan. This meat is edible and can replenish a lot of strange power. It is said that it can strengthen the muscles and bones. However, it is only a Huangli-level strange power after all, so the effect is limited. It is useless after eating about ten kilograms." The ghost scholar explained gently.
Speaking of this, the ghost scholar felt a little helpless.
This weird thing is useful, but it is not very useful for the three of them. Ximingren and Ye Lu each have their own secret methods to strengthen their bones and muscles. As for him, he is a person who uses his brain. How much can he eat by himself? To make jerky, this dodder is at least several hundred kilograms. He can't finish it even if he dies, so he can only change.
Not to mention, I heard that the guard team also killed two Baiyou-level clones of the Dodder, which means that only the original body has this function, so they raised the price.
"What good stuff." The eyes of the thin young man at the side lit up. He was really happy to hear this. He said in a low voice that the head of his family was in the guard team, and what they lacked was this kind of meat.
Their family was newly established last year. There are a couple in the family. The girl has good talent and is a fighter. She is currently in the guard team. She can bring meat home every few days. The boy came from another village. His background is similar to that of the Ximing people, but his village is better and has not been merged. However, there are not many people left in his family. Fortunately, he has known herbs since he was a child and knows some medical skills. After he grew up, he and He Xiaoniang fell in love.
"Your name is Ah Gui, right?" The man was completely moved and couldn't help asking, "Would you like to exchange this meat? I know some medical skills and I have some herbs at home. If you have anything you want, you can exchange it."
But when the young man said this, he didn't hold out any hope. Who would be willing to exchange such a good thing?
