The original God, Yasha, the Immortal Doctor, will finally become the law of heaven

"No, it's just that this step has been completed."

Facing Xumi's language, Xue Kui answered fluently.

He was able to master the Sumeru language well, thanks to the existence of a "sage" in this tribe.

It was an old man. It is said that he was also a ruthless person who was able to wander in the sea of ​​sand before, so he had a lot of experience. After he got old, he returned to his tribe and served as the sage of this place.

Among such tribes, as long as they have certain knowledge and can make judgments that are beneficial to the tribe and guide everyone to survive, they are the local sages.

Being able to have a sage to guide the tribe is already very lucky for the local people, because in this vast sea of ​​sand, there are only a few tribes with sages.

And Xuekui was quite lucky. Among the first tribe he came into contact with in Xumi, there happened to be a sage who knew the common language of Tewat.

On the first day of coming here, after the sage here was disturbed by the status of an outsider and the language barrier, Xue Kui also followed the old man to learn the language of the Xumi people.

To this day, he has been able to communicate with local people proficiently in Sumeru.

As a cook and doctor, he was quickly welcomed by everyone.

The title for him has also changed from "outsider" to "traveling doctor" and now to "pandit" (wise man).

Over the course of several months, out of professional practice as a doctor, Xue Kui completed research on the habits of local plants, and gave a little help to the local residents in the process of learning the Sumeru language.

For example, in order to practice the Xumi language I just learned, I would write prescriptions for local people.

For things like curing a disease, it is important to prescribe the right medicine to the case, and it is still a bit difficult for Xuekui to describe the symptoms in a relatively unfamiliar language.

After helping the adult men of this tribe to treat some external injuries, cleaning their bodies of the toxins they had contracted when they were bitten by poisonous things, and solving some of the malaria that was spreading among the people, Xue Kui clearly felt the attitude of the locals towards him. The change.

"Actually, the most difficult part is the process of burning the date palm into powder and then sifting and purifying it. The next steps are actually no different from how you make pancakes."

Xue Kui explained to the surrounding women, causing everyone to nod.

For these people who can only live in the oasis full of yellow sand around them, food may be the thing they lack the most. Those adult men who are dubbed "braves" actually ran into the desert for most of their purpose. It's all about getting some meat to eat.

Xuekui could often see people bringing back little things like poisonous snakes or sand foxes. If they were lucky enough, they might even be able to catch two quicksand eels.

This kind of amphibious fish that lives in quicksand is very sensitive. As long as it notices the approach of foreign objects, it will dive into the sand sea. Moreover, where they are located, it is very easy for people to get trapped in quicksand. To catch them, it is not only Difficult and dangerous.

In the past few months, Xue Kui only encountered the quicksand eel caught by the locals once.

At that time, when people distributed the grilled eel meat, although he expressed that he didn't need to eat, people still gave him a considerable piece of eel meat, which was second only to the old sage in the tribe.

Even though each person's portion of eel may have been a morsel, the night was a scene of revelry.

Perhaps, for the people here, catching quicksand eels means that their gods have not abandoned them and luck is still favoring them, which is something worth celebrating.

Xue Kui handled the dough in his hands very carefully.

For tribes that lack food, wheat and rice are scarce items. Although these two plants can be grown in oases, the range that can be grown is very small, and the survival rate of the plants is not high.

Compared with Liyue's situation, Xue Kui has to lament that humans in different countries have their own difficulties.

Liyue has no shortage of prey and fertile land, but monsters are everywhere. Before the alchemist appeared, every time people went out, they had the consciousness of losing their lives.

As for Xu Mi, although there is no interference from monsters, the threat of the environment itself is comparable to that of Ice and Snow Mond before Wendy took action to change the environment.

On top of the fire, a thin stone slab was crossed. Xue Kui divided the dough into pieces and spread it on the heated slate, slowly baking it.

As the dough was gradually baked, a unique fragrance of date palms radiated, causing the throats of the children around to move, and they did not act rashly under the suppression of their mothers.

The women watched Xuekui's every move very carefully. This was an opportunity that the foreign pandit was imparting wisdom to them, and it was an opportunity not to be missed.

In the oasis, there is also a kind of food that is not so scarce, and that is the date palm that grows on the tree.

Most of the plants that make up this oasis are date palm trees, which are also people's main food.

But if you rely on coconut meat alone, you will get hungry no matter how much you eat. Xuekui thought of roasting it into powder and mixing it into flour, which can reduce the consumption of wheat flour and make the taste of the bread less boring. .

The results are quite remarkable, otherwise there wouldn't be so many women standing here to study.

The taste is also good. Children who have tasted it once will linger on it, perhaps because it is the first time they have tasted something new.

But just like Marcus's philosophy, studying recipes means thinking about how to bring happiness to people. What the other party left to Xue Kui was not only a recipe for spicy pork buns, but also his philosophy of studying cooking.

Picking up the scones on the stone board one by one, looking at the salivating and eager looks of the children around him, Xue Kui smiled slightly, picked up a piece of coconut cake and put it in front of his nose and took a deep sniff. It was the one who made the sound. kind.

As soon as the impatient children moved, they were all punched on the heads by their quick-eyed old mother.

Seeing this scene, Xue Kui instantly felt bored.

Although with the company of his parents, there is a lot less interference with him, but it is also a lot less fun now.

For example, the picture of children fighting with each other will not be seen.

The scene where the two little boys were so anxious that they stuffed the same coconut cake into their mouths, and their lips touched each other was still vivid in Xue Kui's memory. The scene after that of the two of them retching under the tree was also vivid. This made Xue Kui laugh for a long time.

"Qui! Can we eat?"

The skinny kid with bronze skin opened his clean eyes wide and asked Xue Kui pitifully.

However, hearing this kid call Xue Kui's name directly, one knew that he was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

One of the two children who kissed each other was this child.

"Anu, don't be so anxious, is it possible that I will still fight with you?"

When Anu heard this, his eyes were filled with suspicion.

Although everyone else thinks that Ban Zhida is a kind-hearted big brother, but he has played better with Xue Kui, but he knows that the other party's heart is simply stronger than the poisonous scorpion in the desert... Uh, then It doesn't seem to be the case.

In short, it's right that this big brother is bad.

When I was wandering with the other party in the forest, I became curious about a kind of medicinal herb he put into his mouth. After the other party generously gave him the same herb, he was even touched.

Then the body was paralyzed, and at the moment when the scorching sun lifted high above his head, he lay down on the ground until the sun returned to the end of the sand sea.

You know how much joy it means for a child to spend so much time, you bastard!

Thinking of the white-haired guy laughing so loudly afterwards, Anu couldn't help but want to grind his teeth.

Despite this, Anu still maintained his big watery eyes.

After all, the coconut cakes in Xue Kui's hands are really fragrant.

Well, thinking about it now, it seems that this guy really hasn't robbed them of delicious food.

After Xuekui distributed the scones all the way, he sent the women away.

How can children have fun while parents are watching?

"Anu, when will your father come back?"

"Usually when Chi Wang is about to take away the heat from the yellow sand."

I don’t know if this is Xumi’s unique way of speaking. Anyway, people in this tribe like to connect ordinary scenes with some abstract things, a bit like metaphors. This always makes Xue Kui, a Liyue native, feel very strangeness.

Fortunately, Xue Kui, who is quite intelligent and has been here for a long time, knew what Anu meant, just before sunset.

Anu took a bite of the toasted coconut pancake and said inarticulately.

"Qui, are you really not going to make such delicious food by yourself in the future?"

Xue Kui lay reclined on the ground, supported his head with one hand, and responded lazily.

"Didn't I teach your grandma all this?"

He remembered that Anu's mother was among the crowd just now.

Anu's expression became painful.

"Last time you taught grandma that mint can also be used to cook dishes. Do you know what we ate in the dishes?"

Xue Kui's expression became curious.

He is only responsible for teaching. As for how other people are learning, he really hasn't seen it, but now that he thinks about it, it's really embarrassing for someone who used to just bake things to study the heat.

Anu opened his mouth wide and bit off a large piece of the coconut cake. It seemed that only by taking in a little more of the sweetness of the date palm could he dilute the bitterness in his heart.

"We ate dirt!"

It was boring and Xue Kui's interest suddenly disappeared.

"Then it's not washed well? But it doesn't seem to be unacceptable. I heard from the old man that when you were extremely hungry, didn't you also eat dirt?"

Anu shook his head with a sad look on his face.

"The problem is, the place where grandma picks mint is the same place where grandma takes it for a walk!"

Xue Kui: "!"

Atao, this is what the Anu family calls their Luoluo beast.

This is a kind of large and gentle animal. It is a good partner for travelers in the desert. Because they have excellent load-bearing capacity, they are often used to carry materials in the desert, and they can also be ridden by people. It can be said that they can cross the sand sea A must-have.

There is only A Tuo in the whole tribe, and it is a blessing for the tribe to have A Tuo.

But pack animals, for example, usually move around even if they don't go out.

While walking, physiological phenomena necessary for every living thing also take place.

To put it bluntly...

Just defecation.

Xue Kui looked at the child staring at the sky.

At this moment, he was full of vicissitudes of life.

2. Children's starry night fantasy turned into crystallization

"So is it? Is it?"

Seeing Xue Kui's excited face, Anu felt that he really saw this guy right.

He is really a bad and bad person!

"How do I know it's not? I hope it's not!"

"So Kui, if you stop here, this delicacy will become a legend, do you understand?"

"I don't really understand, I just find it interesting. But date palms don't grow in the ground, and the outer casing is inedible. Even if it falls to the ground, there should be no problem. What else can your grandma do wrong? ?”

Anu lost his energy and responded listlessly.

"Who knows?"

Xue Kui carefully recalled the production process of coconut cakes, and said uncertainly.

"Maybe... Anu, you can eat toasted coconut pancakes that are as hard as charcoal?"

"?"

Seeing Anu's frightened expression, Xue Kui smiled.

"Thinking about it now, if the dough is not baked properly, the dough will become mushy. In this case, it is generally thought of baking a little longer, so there will be no mushy dough on the table."

"But if it is over-baked, the taste will become very dry and rough, so there is no help!"

Anu lay down on the ground, as if he saw his miserable future from Xue Kui's words.

After a while, the child came to his senses.

"Speaking of which, Kui, why did you specifically ask Dad what time he came back today?"

"I want to ask him, which direction does your Xumi god live in?"

As the child with the best temperament among his peers, Anu's courage and intelligence are more or less hereditary.

Because his father is the number one warrior recognized by this tribe.

If you want to know something beyond this oasis, the most likely place to get the answer is Anu's father.

If you can know the location of the God of Sumeru, it will save you the effort of searching.

"Huh? Kui, are you leaving?"

Even though he disliked this foreign big brother very much, if he didn't really regard him as his friend, how could Anu follow Xue Kui all day long.

"Yes, I have my own purpose in coming to Xumi."

Xue Kui recalled that during these days, he was either obsessed with Xumi's plants, researching new recipes, or partying with children.

But the day before suddenly doubts.

Hey, what am I here for?
