The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 3 Fox Tail
After the old witch spewed out black air, her whole body suddenly sank down.

She swayed and almost fell to the ground. Two young female disciples who were also dressed strangely behind her quickly stepped forward to support her, and then stabilized her figure.

Although the curse technique is strange and difficult to defend, it also depends on the strength gap between the two sides. The dragon's energy and blood are strong, and his mana is far superior to hers. Therefore, although the curse against the dragon was successful, it also consumed the old witch's energy and spirit immediately. .

If Jiaolong hadn't been busy dealing with the crowd's siege, if he really wanted to resist the curse with all his strength, the old witch might suffer from backlash.

Everyone who was struggling to fight with Jiaolong was overjoyed when they saw Jiaolong collapsed to the ground.

Before being forced by the fierce attack of the flood dragon, he could only swim around, and his heart was full of depression. At this time, he didn't know that the time had come to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

"Hurry up, the witch's curse has broken out, let's go together, don't let this evil dragon get away."

Deng Jiugong greeted him, swung his sword, and attacked first.

Jiaolong roared angrily, resisted the waves of weakness coming from his body, got up, and retreated while fighting with the crowd.

It knows that if you don't leave, you may not be able to leave.

It didn't take long for it to transform from a snake into a dragon. In order to increase its mana as soon as possible, it came up with the idea of ​​asking the people along the coast to pay tribute to boys and girls for it to devour and refine. I didn't expect that people hadn't eaten a few, but they were forced to come here by these people. step.

In fact, the prehistoric land is vast, and it is not uncommon for monsters in remote places to force human races to enshrine boys and girls as blood food.

It's just that most other monsters will choose to be in remote places. How can it dare to swagger outside the Sanshan Pass and let the people pay tribute to blood and food? I can't go down.

Seeing that everyone dragged it and refused to let it retreat, the weakness in the body came one after another, and the wounds on the body became more and more serious. Return to the lake.

However, at this time, no one is willing to let it go.

Even if Jiaolong managed to return to the lake, the water on the shore was shallow, and before it dived into the water, it was tied to its body by a few thick ropes, and many soldiers held it tightly to prevent it from leaving.

All of a sudden, everyone was red-eyed, desperately trying to lose some lives, and wanted to kill this evil dragon here.

In the end, Jiaolong still did not escape his life. After being cursed, his fighting power was greatly reduced, and he was beheaded by everyone.

Of course, Jiaolong's death-defying counterattack also caused many casualties on the human side, especially because it was able to spew extremely cold water to freeze the lake, which injured many people.

When Jiaolong was killed, the crowd watching the battle in the distance immediately cheered. Many of them were people living along the coast. Seeing that Jiaolong was eliminated, they would no longer have to live in fear. Of course, they were happy.

Qi Yuan was also affected by this emotion, and he was amazed by Deng Jiugong and others' feat of slaughtering Jiao. At the same time, he was also amazed by the power and strangeness of the witch's curse.

However, he soon calmed down and stepped down to the shore.

It wasn't that he wanted to watch Jiaolong at a close distance. There were a large number of officers and soldiers surrounding him, so he couldn't get close at all.

His goal was the shore, when the crowd surrounded and killed just now when the dragon stirred up the lake, even though he did not escape successfully, many fish and shrimp were unlucky enough to be washed ashore by the lake.

Before everyone could react, he ran to the vicinity first, grabbed a few fat fish that were alive and kicking with his hand, broke off a willow branch from a willow tree not far away, passed it through the gills of the fish, and held it in his hand. At that time, he was coaxed by the people who were close to him, and he was not given another chance.

But Qi Yuan is not depressed, he is very happy to be able to catch these few fish.

People happily discussed the battle to slay the dragon, but not many people paid attention to the casualties in the battle.

It's not cold-blooded and ruthless, but the human race living in the wilderness has long been accustomed to the invasion of monsters. Now it is a great blessing to be able to kill the dragon and let the people of this side live in peace.

As for some casualties, this is inevitable, and the casualties are not serious, and there are pensions from the General Military Office, so it is not everyone's turn to worry about it.

Amidst the noise, it was already evening when the joyous people returned to the city.

Qi Yuan entered the city, feeling his empty stomach protesting again.

So I exchanged two of the fish with a family for some salt, found an open space not far from the intersection, picked up some firewood, disemboweled and removed the scales from the remaining two fish, and took them from the well beside the road. Clean the water, put some salt in the earthen jar and simmer slowly over low heat, fetch some water by yourself, clean some wild vegetables picked by the roadside when you come back, and put them in the fish soup later Cook and eat.

At this time, Qi Yuan heard the voice, and looked up, it turned out to be the family who performed during the day.

It's just that they looked a little depressed at this time. The old man's two sons were both suffering from some injuries. Although they didn't look too serious, they obviously affected the activities. The daughter-in-law beside him was crying silently, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that they parked the carriage aside and unloaded their things, Qi Yuan obviously planned to camp and rest here, so he cupped his hands at the old man and asked, "Old man...cough cough, that, old brother, I see you are not here today?" Are you going to follow Commander Deng to deal with Jiaolong? Could it be that the Commander’s Mansion didn’t reward you, so why do you still stay here overnight?”

He hadn't turned the corner for a while, and when he said it, he remembered that he was also an old man now, so he quickly changed his words.

However, calling a person who looks about the same age as his grandfather is called brother, he feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

Seeing someone questioning, the old man was polite, but his expression was a little helpless: "Oh, don't mention it, the General Military Mansion did not treat me badly, but the little old man is weak, and he took his two sons to battle together, and he didn't do anything. It is too effective, so the credit is not much. Although the General Military Office gave some rewards for the sake of my two sons being injured, they were not too many. They simply exchanged those rewards with the doctor for some healing herbs. , it is important to heal the wound quickly."

Qi Yuan nodded, but also confirmed that the old man was not some kind of expert, but simply knew some spells.

The woman was packing up her things and preparing to make some meals. Although she felt sad for her family's injury, she had to eat. The two children obediently helped her pick up some firewood.

I saw the woman washed some corn, piled a few stones into a simple stove, put the earthen pot on it to cook porridge, and also put some wild vegetables in it.

Although Qi Yuan came early, he used a low fire to stew the fish, so he cooked in about the same time as the other party.

Folding two twigs to use as chopsticks, Qi Yuan turned over the fish in the crock pot. Seeing that the soup was whitish and moderately salty, he nodded in satisfaction.

Although there are no other seasonings and no suitable kitchen utensils, the fish here is extremely plump and tender, not to mention the slightest fishy smell, but it has a burst of fresh fragrance.

Qi Yuan put the wild vegetables in it, and smelling the fragrant fish soup, he suddenly felt that his saliva couldn't stop.

There was a grunt, and the sound of swallowing saliva sounded one after another.

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, he only swallowed it once, why the sound...

He looked up, only to find that there were still two little ones squatting in front of him, with two pairs of small black eyes fixed on the earthen pot in front of him, crystal saliva dripping down the corners of his mouth.

"Ha ha……"

Qi Yuan couldn't help laughing.

The two children in front of him reminded him of his two little nephews, who are also about the same age as them. They used to look like this when they saw him cooking. There is no way, who told his sister-in-law to cook so badly? Well, for this reason, when I went back to my hometown, I was busy.

"Yaya, Qiu'er, come back quickly."

The woman shouted from the side.

Seeing her child like this, the woman was a little embarrassed, but smelling the delicious smell, she couldn't help spitting out her mouth, and looked at the vegetable porridge in front of her, and she seemed to have a big appetite.

Qi Yuan watched the two children run back to their mother, holding the porridge in the bowl with their hands, while looking at Qi Yuan with those shining eyes.

Qi Yuan laughed lightly, stood up and said to the old man: "Brother, you still have extra bowls, lend me two for use, my little brother has nothing but nothing, but he doesn't even have any utensils for eating."

"When it's inconvenient for everyone to go out, brother just use it." The old man smiled heartily, took two bowls and gave them over.

Qi Yuan thanked him, fished out the fish, and filled it with fish soup, accompanied by freshly cooked wild vegetables, the aroma was tangy.

He looked up at the two children on his side eagerly and waved. Although the little girl named Yaya was an older sister, she seemed a little shy and buried her head in her mother's arms, daring not to come over, but the little boy Teng Teng Teng He ran to the front, biting his finger and looking at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan chuckled, reached out and handed a big bowl to the boy, and waved him to take it back.

"This...brother, how did this happen."

Seeing this, the old man felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay."

Qi Yuan picked up the bowl in front of him: "What about the two fish, anyway, I can't finish it all by myself, just treat it as a nourishment for your two sons, brother, and they need to be taken care of if they are injured. It’s not good to leave future troubles behind.”

Seeing what he said, the old man couldn't say anything more, after thinking about it, Qi Yuan said: "Brother, why don't you come here together."

"Alright."

Qi Yuan was about to talk to the old man, so he sat down without being polite.

The old man took two pieces of cakes and handed them to him, opened his mouth and said: "Old man He Yu, this year is sixty-three, judging by my face, he should be a few years younger than me, I don't know what to call my brother?"

"Brother's gaze is like a torch, and younger brother Qi... has white eyebrows, five years younger than my brother."

Qi Yuan smiled on the surface, but in his heart he thought of the witch's curse method today, and from this he thought of the nail-headed seven-arrow book that Lu Ya used when dealing with Zhao Gongming. Although no one would be bored to curse himself now, But to be a human being, you have to take a long-term view. In case you offend someone in the future and want to use a curse to deal with yourself, as long as no one knows your real name, you will be safer if you think about it. In this way, you will declare yourself as Qi Baimei in the future.

Although it looks a bit delusional, but this is the world of conferred gods, and there are endless magical methods, so you can't be too careful.

The old man didn't know that in just a short moment, Qi Yuan had thought so much in his heart, and he was still chatting with him.

After talking, I learned that the old man He Yu took his family to travel around to perform for a living, but now that wars are frequent, life is more difficult than before, so there is a lot of helplessness in his words.

"Brother Baimei's fish dishes are so delicious."

After eating a few mouthfuls of fish, He Yu was amazed.

"Ha ha."

Qi Yuan smiled, all kinds of thoughts were spinning quickly in his heart, and he put gold on his face unceremoniously, saying: "Speaking of food, I am not exaggerating. Those who can surpass me in cooking skills in this world, I'm afraid not yet."

"Oh……"

He Yu was startled, looking at Qi Yuan's confident expression, he was quite shocked.

He didn't expect Qi Yuan to be able to boast so much.

Qi Yuan looked at He Yu, and said softly: "Nowadays the world is in constant chaos, why don't you find a stable place to settle down, why do you have to suffer from this wandering, I think your two grandchildren are not old, so they follow everywhere Drifting is not a long-term solution!"

"Ugh."

He Yu sighed, and said: "I also know that this will indeed make the children suffer, but my house has no tiles, no land, and there is no other way of making a living except this means of performing arts. How can I settle down? !"

"That's it."

Qi Yuan pretended to be careless and said: "If my brother is willing, I can teach you some cooking skills. I will find a place to open a tavern in the future, sell some food, and it will be enough to feed your family."

"really?"

He Yu asked.

"really."

Qi Yuan nodded.

The old man was overjoyed and thanked again and again: "I really don't know how to repay my virtuous brother."

Qi Yuan chuckled, and slowly showed his fox tail: "My brother and I are considered to be friends. I teach a few cooking skills casually, and there is no use of the word "reward". If my brother is really sorry, I am quite good at spells. Out of curiosity, why don't you teach me a few spells in your spare time, how about it?"
