Chapter 67 Complaint
While the sugar liquid was still wet, Jian Mo poured the crushed nuts into it, stirred it, and poured it onto the oiled stone slab.
When he woke up the next day, the sugar cubes had solidified, and the amber candy wrapped around the crushed nuts, exuding a sweet aroma. The whole house was filled with the unique smell of candy.
Jian Mo couldn't wait to clean the knife and cut off a small piece, tasting it slowly.
The sugar was sweet, the nuts were fragrant and crispy, and it was very crispy when bitten. The sweetness and fragrance spread in the mouth, and the collision of taste and taste was very wonderful.
After eating the first piece, Jian Mo couldn't help but taste another piece.
While eating, Wu Jiong's figure slowly walked in from outside the yard.
Jian Mo's eyes lit up and he immediately called out to him, asking with sparkling eyes: "The candy is ready, have you tasted it?"
Wu Jiong: "I haven't had time to taste it yet, how is it?"
Jian Mo cut off a piece, held it up and ran to him: "I think it's very delicious, you'll know when you taste it!"
Wu Jiong bit a piece of candy and his expression changed subtly.
Jian Mo asked expectantly, "How is it? Does it suit your taste?"
Wu Jiong: "I have never eaten this kind of food before, it is very strange and delicious."
Jian Mo smiled: "I ate a lot of it when I was a child, but after growing up, I felt it was a bit greasy, so I didn't eat it much. I didn't expect it to taste so delicious now."
Jian Mo was still not satisfied and cut off two more pieces of candy, one for himself and one for Wu Jiong: "It's really delicious."
Wu Jiong: "They are all things I have eaten before, and they taste completely different when put together."
After eating a few pieces of nut candy, Jian Mo was still a little greedy, but he couldn't bear to eat any more, so he planned to cut it into pieces and put it in a jar.
The cut candy was a bit sticky, probably because the water content of maltose is relatively high.
Jian Mo took a look and judged: "This won't work. It seems that we still need to fry some flour to prevent sticking."
Wu Jiong: "I'll cut it, you fry it."
Jian Mo handed him the knife and reminded him: "Try to cut it into even-sized cubes."
Wu Jiong nodded.
Jian Mo found the stone pot, wiped the water inside, scooped out two bowls of flour and put them in the stone pot and slowly fried them until they turned slightly yellow.
The flour exuded a pleasant aroma. Jian Mo took it to Wu Jiong and said: "Put the cut nut candies in. Coat them with a layer of flour so they won't stick."
Wu Jiong followed his instructions, put the nut candies in the pot, and gently stirred them with chopsticks.
The nut candies coated with flour seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost, which looked even more tempting.
Jian Mo couldn't help but pinch another piece, put it in his mouth and said, "This is exactly the snack I remember."
The weather was cold, so they put the jar in a ventilated place. It should be no problem to keep it for half a year.
After putting the jar away, Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong, "It's a pity that there is too little noodle grass this year, otherwise I would have to make it twice more."
Wu Jiong: "It will be ready at the end of the year. When the new noodle grass is harvested, you can do whatever you want."
Jian Mo looked forward to it, "I hope this year will be a good harvest year."
There are nut candies at home. Jian Mo's favorite thing to do is to take out a plate of nut candies after dinner, make tea, and sit at the table with Wu Jiong to eat slowly, chatting while eating.
Jian Mo feels that he is not a talkative person, but he has a lot to say with Wu Jiong.
Maybe it's because the backgrounds of both parties are so different, and each of them has many things that the other doesn't know, so when they chat, they always have a lot of topics to talk about.
Jian Mo was reluctant to give this batch of nut candies to anyone, but Jiujiu is not a beast, so he had to give it some to try.
Jian Mo didn't give much, just one piece a day, letting it eat it slowly.
When Jiujiu tasted it for the first time, its eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. It ate the candy and spit it out, ate it again, and then wanted to spit it out again: "Jiujiujiu!"
When Jian Mo saw its look, he quickly pinched its mouth: "Don't spit out, don't play with food!"
Jiujiu is so big, but its personality is very docile. It blinked, and was afraid that Jian Mo would be a little tired of pinching its mouth by tiptoeing, so it lowered its head and lay down: "Jiujiujiu!" "Ying."
Seeing that it had no intention of spitting it out again, Jian Mo let go and patted its neck: "Don't cry, eat well, I'll give you another piece tomorrow."
Jiujiu tilted its head, not knowing whether it really understood what Jian Mo said, or discovered from his tone and expression that he would give candy, it became happy again, flapped its wings and shouted loudly: "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo smiled and patted its neck: "Good boy."
In order to coax Jiujiu, Jian Mo gave it a piece of candy every morning.
Jiujiu has been doing very well these days, and even its veterinary hygiene has improved a lot. When Jian Mo came over every morning, he could see that the grass under it was dry and clean, and the inside of its nest was also dry and clean.
Jian Mo really didn't expect that nut candy would be so attractive to it. He thought that after eating this batch of nut candy, he could just make another batch, made of honey cubes, which would be good for appeasing this guy.
Jiujiu is one of those animals that is easy to keep. It doesn't destroy the house or get angry, and basically doesn't cause them any trouble.
As the weather gets warmer, there is more food outside. It can go hunting every day and feed itself half full, so Jian Mo and his friends don't have much pressure to feed it.
On this day, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went out to collect and came back, and then went to the field to check the various crops they had planted.
While they were still busy, Jiujiu flew over from a distance and flew directly to the field.
Jian Mo saw it and shouted to the sky: "Jiujiu, fly farther away, don't come over here, don't step on the things we planted!"
Jiujiu was almost close to him, and then circled again and landed far away.
At this time, Wu Jiong suddenly said: "That's not right."
Jian Mo's eyesight was not as good as his, and his reaction speed was not very fast. He didn't react for a while: "What?"
Wu Jiong: "Jiujiu seems to be crying."
Jian Mo was startled, straightened up and stretched his neck to look at Jiujiu: "No way?"
Jian Mo was anxious and didn't care about the crops in the field. He ran towards Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's body was shaking, and his big eyes were bloodshot, and tears kept flowing out.
Jian Mo had seen kittens and puppies shed tears, but he never thought that Jiujiu would cry, so he patted it with heartache: "What's wrong? Let me see."
Wu Jiong came over to check: "Jiujiu has wounds."
Jian Mo checked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw that Jiujiu had lost hair in several places, and it was red, swollen and bleeding.
As soon as he saw the wounds, Jian Mo knew that it was definitely not caused by falling, and it should not be caused by being poked by a branch or something.
Jian Mo pulled Jiujiu's hair: "Who bullied you?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked this question. Once he asked this question, Jiujiu felt even more wronged, and cried so hard that he almost hiccupped.
Jian Mo felt distressed and held its big furry paws: "Tell us quickly, and let Wu Jiong help you beat it back later."
After looking at the wounds, Wu Jiong said: "The claw marks are a bit strange, and I can't tell what hurt it."
Jiujiu cried for a while, and suddenly grabbed Wu Jiong's clothes with her mouth and tried to drag them to herself: "Jiujiujiu."
Jian Mo didn't understand.
Wu Jiong lowered his eyes and looked at Jiujiu: "Do you want to take me to see the guy who bullied you?"
Jiujiu: "Jiujiu."
Jian Mo immediately said: "I want to go too."
Jiujiu lay down and let them get on its back.
After the two sat down, Jiujiu flapped its wings and flew up while crying.
Maybe because it was crying all the time, it didn't fly very steadily, and sometimes it would tilt to one side. When it found out, it cried and adjusted itself back.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong sat on its back, and both didn't know what to say.
Jiujiu was so sad, and it was difficult to criticize it now, so it could only bear it for the time being.
Jiujiu took them flying until it was almost dark, but they had not reached their destination.
Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong behind him: "Is it taking us to the Upper South Canyon?"
Wu Jiong: "It looks like it."
Jian Mo: "Strange, there don't seem to be any large wild animals in the Upper South Canyon."
In winter, it is cold here, and the grass and trees outside are basically withered, and there is little food.
The herbivores have migrated away long ago, and the carnivores have migrated with the herbivores without food.
There are really few wild animals outside now.
Wu Jiong narrowed his eyes: "Maybe it's not a beast."
Jian Mo: "Ah, no way, if it's not a beast, then it could be a beastman? Who is so crazy that he can do such a thing as bullying a flying beast?"
Wu Jiong: "It's hard to say. Maybe the beastman didn't guess that Jiujiu would come back to complain."
Jian Mo was numb: "How could it be like this?"
It was getting dark, Jiujiu flapped its wings hard and flew faster.
After flying for a long time, Jian Mo saw the Upper South Canyon below.
The pink tube flowers had not yet bloomed, and there was a sea of flowers below. A huge white bear was lying in the sea of flowers with his legs crossed.
He looked very comfortable, and what was even more comfortable was that he was eating something in his mouth.
Just when Jian Mo wanted to see it clearly, the white bear took out the things in his mouth, stretched out his huge bear paw to the side, grabbed a handful of pink tube flowers and stuffed them into his mouth to chew, and then stuffed the things he had taken out of his mouth back.
Maybe because the pink tube flowers were a bit intoxicating, the white bear's reaction was a bit slow. He squinted his eyes and chewed for a while, and didn't even notice that they were approaching.
Jian Mo saw it very clearly. The piece of candy he took out and stuffed into his mouth was exactly the nut candy made by their family.
Wu Jiong sat on Jiujiu's back and asked, "People from the Bingjiang tribe?"
The white bear heard the movement, sat up, blinked his eyes, which were relatively small compared to his face, and looked up in shock.
Wu Jiong had already confirmed it, and asked, "How did you people from the Bingjiang tribe come here?"
Shangnan Gorge is between the Riverside Tribe and the Dianxin Tribe, and one corner of it is connected to the Mengshui Tribe, but it has nothing to do with the Bingjiang Tribe anyway.
The white bear was startled and sat up: "Chief Wu Jiong?"
Wu Jiong patted the Chirp Chirp to let it land, and looked at the huge white bear: "Did you steal the candy from the flying beast?"
The white bear stuttered: "I, I, I...it, I don't know."
Wu Jiong: "Don't know? There are no candies with nuts in the wild. Tell me, fight or pay compensation?"
The white bear gulped and swallowed the candy in his mouth. He looked left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Wu Jiong and Jian Mo.
Someone supported Jiujiu, and Jiujiu could no longer hold back. He jumped behind Wu Jiong and Jian Mo, accusing loudly: "Jiuhou!"
It seemed that he was shouting at the top of his lungs that it was this bear who had snatched his candy.
When the white bear heard Jiujiu's voice, he looked at it angrily.
Jian Mo couldn't help it when he saw this, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to argue.
Wu Jiong tore off his fur robe, turned into a huge white wolf, and rushed directly towards the white bear.
The white bear was at his peak, and was slightly larger than the giant wolf. Seeing the giant wolf rushing over, he decided to go all out and directly raised his bear claws to meet it.
He underestimated the giant wolf's fighting ability. The giant wolf avoided his bear claws and directly kicked and bit with its legs and teeth.
After just a few simple rounds, the giant bear had a wound on its head, and blood flowed down, staining its fur red.
The giant wolf was completely unharmed except for its snow-white fangs stained with bear blood. It also seemed to have plenty of physical strength. Its attack speed not only did not slow down, but even increased.
The polar bear howled as it was bitten.
Jiujiu looked like he had gotten his revenge, jumping around behind Jian Mo: "Jiujiujiu!"
Jian Mo turned around and looked at him: "Stop jumping."
Jiujiu couldn't help but jump a few more times before squatting down and just cheering him up verbally: "Jiujiu!"
The white bear soon couldn't stand it anymore, and ran away with his head in his hands: "Ahhh, stop fighting, I'm leaving now."
The giant wolf looked at him with cold eyes: "You broke into our territory and bullied our pets, and now you want to leave?"
The white bear protected his head with his paws and ran forward with all his might: "Well, what else do you want? I've already fought you! I didn't really bully it, I just chased it away for your sake!"
Giant wolf: "And then take its candy?"
White bear: “It was it that stole my pink tube flower first!”
Jiujiu didn’t understand at first, but when he saw the look in White Bear’s eyes, he seemed to finally understand. He jumped up on the spot very unconvinced: “Jiujiu, jiujiu!”
Jian Mo helped translate: “Jiujiu is so shy, I won’t steal your pink tube flower.”
Jiujiu couldn’t tell whether this was a good thing or not, but he agreed with his master’s words and shouted loudly: “Jiujiu!”
Giant wolf: "This is the territory of the River Tribe. You, a bear from the Ice River Tribe, come here and say that the River Tribe's pet stole your pink tube flower?"
The white bear couldn't beat it or run away, so he could only throw himself to the ground, holding his head, sticking out his butt, and said frustratedly: "Then what do you want to do?"
The giant wolf: "Pay me for the winged beast candy."
The white bear: "Or you can kill me, I don't have any."
The giant wolf narrowed its eyes and bit it a few more times without any hesitation.
The white bear was bitten and howled: "Okay, okay, I'll pay, I'll pay a lot, okay?"
Giant wolf: "And apologize." White
bear: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have come to your territory, and I shouldn't have stolen your pink tube flowers and candies!"
Giant wolf: "You stole the candies from the flying beast."
The white bear understood and said frustratedly: "Then let go of your claws, and I'll apologize to the flying beast."
The giant wolf looked at him and let go of his claws.
The white bear slowly climbed up and walked in front of the flying beast: "I'm sorry, I won't steal your things next time."
The flying beast stepped back, still a little scared.
The giant wolf came over and gave the white bear another paw: "Next time, be more capable and don't steal even the things of the flying beast."
The white bear became even more frustrated, sighed, and muttered: "Who would have thought that you two would come all the way to avenge the flying beast?"
The giant wolf ignored him, changed back to human form, and put on a beast skin robe.
The giant bear also changed back to human form, pulled out a beast skin from behind his buttocks, and slowly walked towards Jian Mo and the others.
White Bear looked like a solid young man with a childish look on his face. Perhaps because he had already lost all his face, he did not say anything this time. Instead, he apologized honestly: "I'm sorry, the candy from the flying beast looked so delicious, I couldn't resist it, I won't do it next time."
Wu Jiong: "Remember to send the compensation candy to the Riverside Tribe in the next few days."
White Bear: "Got it. I will send it. My name is Mu Chu, and I'm from the Bingjiang Tribe. I won't run away."
Jian Mo looked at him . He had already admitted his mistake and apologized, but did not insist: "You go back first."
Mu Chu hesitated for a few seconds and whispered: "I ate too much pink tube flower today, and I'm a little drunk. This is my own fault. I hope this incident will not affect the friendship between our two tribes."
Wu Jiong looked at him unceremoniously: "You are not worthy of representing your tribe."
Mu Chu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then I'll go back first."
With that, the guy turned around and ran away.
Jiujiu watched the enemy flee, puffed out his chest happily, and jumped again: "Jiujiu."
The ground was shaking a little from its jumping. Jian Mo thought it was a bit absurd and a bit funny. Finally, he couldn't help but turned around and patted Jiujiu's hairy legs: "You're doing well, keep it up."
It's good enough for him to come back to his parents after being bullied outside.
Jian Mo looked at the happy Jiujiu and added: "When the time comes, I'll make you a candy bar as compensation."
