Chapter 21: Brother, come and play when you have time!
"Where's the gift?" Tang Bandit stretched out his hand to Phoenix.
"You're lying." Phoenix said angrily.
Both of them had a great harvest today. They each shot a pheasant and a red-eyed rabbit, which was considered a close match.
Just when Fenghuang thought the two were about to fight to a draw, Bandit Tang stabbed to death a field mouse that had just poked its head out of the cave.
The Tang bandits won!
The Phoenix was in a hurry and searched for prey all over the world, including pheasants, hares, voles, wood frogs...
The animals in Hate Mountain seemed to have a grudge against her. It was also possible that the two of them had made too much noise just now, and none of them came out, so she didn't catch any of them.
"Why did I cheat?" Tang Bandit asked.
"Are voles considered prey? You can't eat them."
"Who says voles can't be eaten?" Tang Bandit looked at Phoenix with a smile and said, "There are many ways to eat voles. They can be stewed, grilled, and made into sashimi... peeled.
Remove the skin, cut the meat into thin slices, place it on a plate, roll it with perilla leaves and eat it..."
"..."
Phoenix glanced at the vole with a hole in its head, and felt a strong discomfort in his stomach when he thought of them being cut into pieces and put into people's mouths.
Why does this guy always like to stab people in the head?
"The most delicious thing is roasted field mice. I'll roast one for you when I get back and try it." Tang Bandit said loudly: "If you think it tastes good, you will lose this competition. How about it?"
Phoenix was then satisfied and said: "Deal."
I thought to myself, even if it tastes good, I can’t say it tastes good.
Want to beat me? No way.
Hey, how could you be... so girly?
Only her closest friends would she talk to them so casually.
Could it be that Tang Bandit is already his friend?
Impossible, right? It has only been a few days. She is not someone who can make friends with others easily.
Fenghuang stared at Tang Bandit in surprise. Tang Bandit was puzzled by her look and asked: "Are you attracted by my beauty again? I tell you, don't think that you can do whatever you want to me in the wilderness here.
... Even if my body cannot resist, my heart will never give in to you."
"Tang Bandit, why are you so thick-skinned?"
"It's not that I have thick skin, it's that I haven't washed my face for a long time." Tang Bandit explained with a serious look on his face and said, "The outer layer is not my face, it's my gray face."
"..."
Seeing Tang Bandit's sly smile, she knew that she had been deceived by him again.
That doesn’t mean you have a gray face, that means you have a shameless face.
The two of them carried the prey home. The old man smiled from ear to ear when he saw today's harvest. He trotted to greet them and asked, "Why did you catch so many today?"
"I competed with Phoenix to see who played more, so both of us played more," Tang Bandi said.
Only then did the old man glance at Phoenix with satisfaction. His expression was as if you were finally no longer a waste of "idle food". He praised and said: "This is good, this is good. Didn't I say that only when there is competition?"
There has been progress... Every time I let you and Xiaopang go hunting together, I just want you two to make progress together. As a result, not only did you two make no progress, you came back empty-handed."
"Can you blame me?" Tang Bandit said angrily: "It's not like you don't know about Fatty's physique. He runs like a hill... before our people arrive, all the animals have finished running."
The little fat man who was smashing rocks had an honest smile on his face. He knew that Tang Bandit was telling the truth. Whenever he went hunting with his elder brother, there was a high probability that he would come back empty-handed that day.
So later on, the old man only let Tang Bandit go hunting, while he was left at home to throw stones.
Fenghuang didn't want to make Xiaopang feel uncomfortable, so he comforted him and said, "Xiaopang, it's okay. From now on, I will go hunting with Tang Bandit, and you can smash rocks at home. If you are specialized in the art, you can hit rocks very well...
..."
As I was talking, I realized that something was not quite right about what I said.
What does it mean to praise someone for being good at throwing stones? What is the difference between praising a chubby guy and saying, chubby guy, you are really fat?
"Thank you." Xiaopang didn't take it seriously and smiled shyly at Phoenix.
Phoenix felt like he was healed again. He was such a kind child.
After the Tang bandit packed up the prey, he said to Phoenix: "I will roast the field mouse for you... If you eat it once, you will want to eat it a second time, and after eating it a second time, you will want to eat it a third time."
......."
"I don't believe it." Phoenix curled his lips.
Above the new star, what kind of delicacies and alien monsters have not been eaten? Would this lady like to eat a roasted field mouse with the eyes of a deer-headed rat?
The Tang bandits found a large stove, threw a few flammable charcoal blocks into it, lit it, and waited for it to burn. Then they skinned the vole and removed its internal organs. He inserted a red willow skewer as thick as two chopsticks through the middle, and then placed it on the stove.
Make circles on the fire.
Soon, the vole, which was as big as a basketball, began to smoke, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of meat.
Phoenix was watching and saw the vole whose skin was starting to turn brown, and thought, maybe this thing is really delicious?
The vole's skin became more and more yellow, because it was too rich in oil, and finally turned into a layer of golden yellow. Phoenix became more determined in this idea.
After all, she had already begun to swallow secretly.
Tang Bandit heard the growl of Phoenix's stomach and knew that she had not eaten dinner that night. He also smelled the aroma of field mice, so his body had a natural reaction.
The field mouse meat had already been coated with a layer of salt when it was marinated. When it was cooked, it was sprinkled with a layer of pepper and its own secret spices. Then he tore off a large piece of field mouse leg and handed it to Phoenix, saying, "You
Try it... voles run very fast, and their leg muscles are the most developed. This piece of meat is the most fragrant, tender, and very delicious..."
Phoenix was not polite, took the vole's leg and took a bite.
Spicy and fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"It's delicious!" Phoenix couldn't help but praise it.
"You lost!" Tang Bandit looked at Phoenix with a smile and said.
Only then did Fenghuang remember the bet. He had clearly made a plan, and even if it was delicious, he would never say it was delicious. However, he accidentally shouted out...
Of course, it was impossible for Fenghuang to express this little calculation in her heart. She glanced at Tang Bandit proudly and said, "If you lose, you lose. Isn't it just a small gift? I do what I say.
When I arrive, I will definitely fulfill my promise.”
"Then I'll be relieved." Tang Bandi said.
The little fat man smelled the scent of the field mouse, moved his index finger, dropped the hammer in his hand and ran over, pleading: "Brother, please give me a leg too."
"One leg is not enough for you." Tang Bandit put the vole on the tray, and then cut it into two parts with a meat cleaver.
He handed half of the field mouse to Xiaopang and said, "Take it and eat it."
"Thank you, brother." Little Fatty's eyes shone brightly, and he squatted on the ground with half a field mouse in his hands and began to chew on it.
"Two bastards, they don't know how to leave any for me, no matter how big or small." The old man scolded.
Tang Bandit cut the remaining half of the vole into three parts, gave one to the old man, kept one for himself, and gave another to Fenghuang. The snack had already finished chewing the leg of the vole, and he was looking eagerly.
Look over here.
"This is not enough to fill your teeth." The old man took his share and said with a look of disgust.
Phoenix still retained the good habit of "respecting the old and loving the young" in Xinxing. He handed over the vole meat in his hand and said: "Uncle, you can eat my share."
When he first came here, he was very polite and called him "sir". Now that he eats and lives with other people, the relationship between them has become much closer, so he calls the old man "uncle" as a chubby friend of Tang Bandit.
"Don't give it to him." Bandit Tang intercepted in the middle and said, "There is still a pot of porridge cooking in the kitchen. If he is not full, he can drink porridge. The elderly cannot eat so much meat, otherwise they will suffer from indigestion at night."
"Oh!" Phoenix nodded and took back the vole meat in his hand.
Their Xinxing article also said that many elderly people maintain their health in this way. Including her father, he does not dare to eat more meat every night because he is worried that his digestion will not be good and he will not be able to sleep well.
"You brat, you forgot about your father after you got a wife. You are such a heartless thing." The old man cursed angrily.
"Let's go eat there and ignore him." Tang Bandit said to Fenghuang, not even bothering to refute the old man's words.
I couldn't bear to refute.
"When you have a wife, you forget about your father"...
What does this mean? It means you have a wife.
I don't know why, but when he heard the old man scolding him like this, he actually felt very happy.
Just like those students who are just starting to fall in love, they hate others spreading rumors about them, but when someone does spread the rumors, they feel a sweet and sour feeling of happiness.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.
"Who is it?" Tang Bandit asked aloud.
"Fire Shrine. Open the door." Someone shouted at the door.
Tang Bandit's eyes were slightly stern, and the old man's eyes were full of murderous intent. The little fat man had already rushed over and picked up the hammer on the ground...
Of course, I didn’t want to throw away the field mouse in my hand.
Because I was so nervous, I took a big bite and chewed it in my mouth.
Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit with panic on her face. She didn't expect the people from the Flame Shrine to come to her door so quickly.
She could fight her way out by herself, but she was worried that it would implicate Tang Bandit Xiaopang and others.
However, even if he kills himself, where will he escape to?
Do you still need an escape cabin? Without the taxiing track of the escape cabin, how can your family find you?
For a moment, my heart was in a state of confusion.
Tang Bandit patted her shoulder and signaled Fenghuang not to be nervous.
Then he pointed inside and asked her to go in and hide for a while.
After Fenghuang left, Bandit Tang made a gesture, telling the old man and Xiaopang to put down their guard. If you two are so murderous, doesn't it mean that there is no silver in this place?
Calm down!
Calm down!
Be elegant and calm at all times!
Then, Bandit Tang bit off a large piece of vole meat and chewed it in his mouth. He casually walked over, opened the door, and asked aloud, "What's going on?"
A group of gray robes stood at the door. When they saw a young man opening the door, they asked, "How many people are there in your family? Have any strangers been to your home?"
"There are three people in our family. My father, my brother..." Tang Bandi pointed at the old man and the little fat man, and said: "There are no strangers in our family, we are all our own people. How dare we let strangers in these days?"
Come in?"
"Ask the question and answer the question, why is there so much nonsense?" a gray robe scolded dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes, Lord Divine Envoy is right." Tang Bandit immediately changed his face to a flattering smile.
"Have you seen any strangers?"
"Stranger?" Tang Bandit thought for a while and said, "This is a gathering area. You can see strangers coming every day..."
"Is there any that you remember particularly deeply?"
"Yes, yes, there was a man who was blind in one eye and had a blindfold on the other eye. It was scary to look at it... There was also a man who came with a monkey standing on his shoulder...
..."
"Go in and search..." the gray-robed leader gave the order.
He smelled the aroma of meat. The brothers were still working hungry, but these bastards were actually eating barbecue. Is there any justice?
The Fire God will not agree to this kind of thing. He will never allow his followers to starve.
"Yes!" Several men in gray robes wanted to break in. They also wanted to eat barbecue.
Tang Bandit glanced at them and understood what they were thinking.
He ran over and snatched the field mouse meat from the hands of the little fat man and the old man, then handed it to the gray-robed leader in front of him along with what he had in his own hand, and said: "Master God has worked hard, must be starving, right? First,
Eat something to replenish your body."
The little fat man looked aggrieved and stared at the piece of barbecue reluctantly.
The gray-robed leader was very satisfied with Tang Bandit's performance. He took a big bite of the field mouse meat and chewed it until his mouth was full of oil. He pointed at Tang Bandit and said: "This kid is quite sensible...I can eat enough by myself."
Isn’t it great? I still have these brothers..."
"I understand. I understand." Tang Bandit opened the door and said with a smile: "Everyone, please come in, I will cook barbecue for you. I don't dare to brag about anything else, but my barbecue is the best in Henshan Gathering Area.
, coupled with my special spicy sauce... I guarantee that all adults will enjoy it."
"Okay. Then let my brothers have a taste of your craftsmanship." The gray-robed leader said with a smile, and led several of his brothers into the small courtyard.
Tang Bandi winked at Fatty and said: "Little Fatty, go and bring out all the meat from home. Lord God has come to our house as a guest. This is the blessing we have earned over several lifetimes...
We have to entertain you."
Xiaopang understood, and immediately ran over and moved out the big tank where the meat was stored at home, and said: "Brother, they have all been moved here."
Tang Bandit looked into the tank and saw half a rabbit and one pheasant...
Tang Bandit was relieved. Xiaopang was just fat, but not stupid.
"My lords, all the meat at home is here." Tang Bandi pointed at the big vat and said, "I'm here to grill the meat for you, and I'll make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable meal."
"Stop talking nonsense and bake it quickly. When it's done, we'll give you a lot of rewards."
"It's just that after searching for a whole day and a night, I'm almost hungry."
"Damn, where can I find the airbending realm? How do we know what an airbending master looks like? We have to give him a photo, right? If you don't have a photo, you can just draw a sketch... There is nothing, how can you find it?
"
"Monkey, do you want to die? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I'm just joking, I just said that casually...Brothers, you have to keep it a secret for me. I still have a bottle of old wine, Zhuyeqing... I will invite the brothers when the time comes.
drink wine."
"Damn monkey, you don't even say a word about the good wine? You can't deceive the brothers this time...otherwise, hehe..."
"No, no, absolutely not..."
-------
Tang Bandit was busy cutting meat, cutting rabbits and pheasants into small pieces for barbecue.
If you put it whole and bake it, will it take years of the monkey to be cooked?
He wanted to send these plague gods away quickly, but he really didn't want them to stay at home for a second longer.
You know, there is an extraterrestrial visitor hiding inside. If they discover it, it will be another accident.
Tang Bandit felt very angry. Ever since this woman came, he had been on tenterhooks every day. It was so exciting.
No, this energy cannot be wasted.
Need more money!
While the Tang bandits were working, they eavesdropped on the chats of the gray robes.
The moment he heard the name of the Flame Shrine, he was already sure that these people came to him because of the death of the black robe.
He knew that the Flame Shrine would go to war because of this matter, but he didn't expect that they would choose the stupidest way.
The Henshan gathering area is so big and there are so many people in the gathering area... What is the difference between this nationwide search method and finding a needle in a haystack?
What made Tang Bandit depressed was that they unexpectedly came to his door.
Why are they roasting voles? Why are they roasting voles? Wouldn't roasting sweet potatoes be better?
If we cook a pot of papaya porridge as usual, these gray robes must not have the intention to stay for dinner, right?
"Boss, do you want to take a look around?" A gray-robed man suddenly said to the gray-robed leader.
Tang Bandit's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Xiaopang wanted to touch the hammer again, but the old man gently pulled him away, and then he stopped this dangerous action.
"It's okay to take a look." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "It's just two shabby houses. You can search everywhere... If you can't find anyone, it can prove our innocence. Do you think so?
?”
"Then you go and have a look." The gray-robed leader was chewing on the vole leg. He was not enthusiastic about this kind of thing, but since one of his brothers brought it up, let's go around for a while to fulfill his official duties. In this case, even if something goes wrong in the future
Whatever problems you have, you can't blame yourself.
After all, it is impossible for him to take the blame.
The man in gray robe had no choice but to take over the job. He glanced at several rooms and then ran back to hand in the assignment and said, "Boss, I didn't see anyone."
"Isn't this an obvious thing? Just this family, the old, the young, the young, and a silly little fat guy, how can they look like masters in the air control realm?" The gray-robed leader laughed, his eyes showing.
The brilliance of wisdom. "Besides, if there really is a master of air control hiding here, how many of us are still alive? His heads would have been chopped off long ago."
"The boss is wise."
"Brother Long has a sharp gaze, no wonder you can be the captain."
"What does a captain mean? The boss will soon be an adjutant. I heard that Adjutant Chen Hu is going to be promoted to a black robe... Then doesn't the vacant adjutant position belong to the boss?"
"Then let's congratulate the boss in advance!"
"It's still early, it's early!" The gray-robed leader waved his hands extremely modestly and said: "Several captains are competing for this position, but you also know that Adjutant Chen Hu and I are brothers who are the boss... He was promoted
If you get the black robe, how can you not promote your brother?"
"That is."
"Of course, we still have to make some achievements. If we can find the guy who killed the envoy next to us... then it will be safe." The gray-robed leader said seriously.
"Don't worry, boss. Brothers will definitely help you find the murderer."
"Yes, let's set off after the barbecue."
"Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to dig him out..."
"What the hell, do you think air-bending masters are field mice? They like to dig into caves?"
While the group of gray robes were chatting and spanking, Bandit Tang had already roasted rabbits and pheasants.
First, he brought a large bunch to the gray-robed leader and said, "The ones just baked are the most delicious. Sir, how do you like it first? If you think the taste is not strong enough, I will add some chili powder for you."
"Young man will do something." The gray-robed leader became more and more satisfied with Tang Bandit. He actually raised his noble right hand covered with grease and patted Tang Bandit's shoulder and asked: "How old are you?"
"14." Tang Bandit said.
Shamelessly, I say one and a half years younger. After all, the younger you are, the less able you are to control your energy, right?
"I see you are quite clever. Are you interested in coming to our Flame Shrine?" The gray-robed leader actually took the initiative to offer an olive branch to Tang Bandit.
Tang Bandit showed an incredible expression on his face and asked excitedly: "Sir, are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me?"
"You brat, how can you talk? Where is our Flame Shrine? Who is our boss? Can he talk to you?"
"That's right, let me tell you, don't be ignorant of your blessings... When we wanted to enter the Flame Shrine, we had to ask our grandfather and grandma everywhere to find middlemen for introductions..."
"Our brother Long is the captain and will soon be the adjutant. With him protecting you, you can enjoy the hot food and drink in the Flame Shrine... Boy, just wait for the beauty...
."
------
After being introduced by the people around him, Tang Bandi realized that this opportunity was "rare", and he was moved to tears and said: "Thank you, sir, thank you... My whole family is grateful to you...
....Eat meat, sir, please eat more meat..."
The old man also came over to say kind words and thanked the gray-robed leader for his regard for Tang Bandit.
The gray-robed leader was lifted up to the sky, and the barbecue in his hand became more and more delicious.
Tang Bandit looked at the gray-robed leader and said humbly: "Sir, I just heard that you are looking for someone... Who are you looking for? I am very familiar with this area, maybe I can help a little bit.
Just a small favor."
"You're a little brat, how can you help?" The gray-robed leader obviously didn't believe Tang Bandit could really help, but he was very satisfied with his enthusiastic and proactive attitude. "A master like that can stab you to death with one finger.
You'd better live well, and when you get to our shrine, you'll be responsible for grilling meat for me."
"Yes, yes, listen to your Majesty. Listen to your Majesty." Tang Bandit smiled sincerely.
The leader in gray robe finished the chicken skewers in his hand and said hello: "Okay, okay, brothers, eat quickly. After we are full, we will continue to work. There are still many families who have not touched the skewers."
"Yes, sir." The gray robes began to devour the food.
The gray-robed leader looked back at Tang Bandit and asked, "What's your name?"
"Tang Bandit." Tang Bandit said.
"Tang Bandit, what a good name." The gray-robed leader nodded, looked at the old man, and said: "Your father seems to be a fool who can't hit a fart with three sticks. I never thought he could give you such a nice name.
name."
"It was taken by a gentleman in the village. He is literate," Tang Bandit said.
"No wonder." The gray-robed leader then took it for granted and said to the younger brother beside him: "Put a flame talisman on his door. From now on, he will be one of our own, and brothers from other teams will not come to investigate."
"yes, Sir."
So one of the boys took out a talisman with a flame pattern from his pocket and slapped it on the door.
In this way, other Flame Shrine teams or predator organizations will not come to check again when they see the flame talisman at the door.
What else should your own people check?
Tang Bandit was even more grateful, and kept sending the gray-robed brothers all the way away. He was so loyal that he wished he could fight with the gray-robed leader on the battlefield through life and death.
"Brother, come and play when you have time!" Tang Bandit shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice choked with sobs.
(ps: I’m too lazy to break it down, so I’ll update it two chapters at a time.
In addition, everyone can throw in any tickets they want. Lao Liu and Tang Bandit can be easily dismissed.
Brother, come and play when you have time! (Chokes)
