Chapter 39 Mana Roast
Before we knew it, night fell.
The cold wind began to blow in the quiet wild area, and the lush grass also swayed, making a "rustling" sound like wheat fields. In fact, the temperature difference between the canyon during the day and the canyon at night is very large. During the day, the canyon can be very warm like spring, but at night, it will become as cold as winter.
At this time, the vast wild area was quiet, and most animals had already returned to their nests to avoid the cold before nightfall. The cold night wind became the protagonist of this dangerous place. It was like a naughty child, whistling and running in the wild area without regard to the complaints of the animals afraid of the cold, and covered the colder quilt with a layer of cold quilt.
But in such a cold and dark wild area, there is a cave on a certain mountain with a bright halo. From a distance, it looks like a bright light in the darkness. The warm air flow constantly lingers outside the cave, forming a sharp contrast with the cold world outside.
Many small rat animals gathered at the warm entrance to keep warm. They stared at the round eyes and looked into the bright cave from time to time. They seemed to be curious why two missed guests came today when few people set foot in the wild areas all year round.
Sitting on the soft fur blanket, Wang Yao stared at the group of small animals at the entrance of the cave with a malicious look on his face, and suddenly laughed and came up with a bad idea: "Luna, how about roasting them for food?"
Luna, who was barbecuing slices of meat by the bonfire, was stunned when she heard this. Then she looked at the little animal at the entrance of the cave and glared at Wang Yao angrily: "Do you have the heart to eat such a cute rat? Besides, there are so many slices of meat here, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat enough?"
It turns out that they are called 黑黑黑黑黑, but they are indeed very cute, very much like pudding rats on earth, but Wang Yao couldn't help but mutter: "I'm so hungry, you've been baking for so long and haven't been cured yet? Why don't I forget it?"
"You have any injuries, so I'll do it." Luna repeated what she had said four times while sprinkling the salt juice used to season onto the slices of meat inserted in the branches.
Well, this girl's personality is so stubborn. Even if someone intervenes, she will not change her decision. In desperation, Wang Yao could only endure the hunger of constant protest in her stomach and stare at Luna's slow barbecue.
Soon, a strong meat fragrance began to permeate the cave. The fragrance lingers in Wang Yao's breath as much as it is. It is mixed with a light salty smell of appetizing. As long as he smells it, he can't help but saliva.
"It smells so good!" I wonder if it was because I was too hungry, but Wang Yao squatted up regardless of his image. If he added a tail that was shaking left and right at this time, his appearance would look like a hungry puppy.
"Puff." Seeing Wang Yao's appearance, Luna couldn't help laughing: "Your posture is really like a pet I have raised before."
Wang Yao was stunned. Are he talking about "Dabai"? When he was about to ask the girl what the pet was, a piece of barbecue with steaming hot surface appeared in front of him.
"Hungry ghosts, eat quickly." Luna looked at Wang Yao with a funny look.
I saw two layers of meat slices as big as a palm, with a clean branch, so as to better fix it. But what surprised Wang Yao was that there was no slight burnt ash on the meat slices cooked with a bonfire. Instead, they seemed to be fried on an iron plate. The whole was an attractive wheat-gold color, with crystal oil attached to it, reflecting a texture similar to amber under the fire. Just looking at the appearance makes people feel very appetizing!
Wang Yao has always been quite confident in his cooking skills, but at this time he looked at the barbecue slices in Luna's hand, he was calm and willing to give in. At least if he had come, he would definitely not be able to bake such ornamental barbecue slices.
Driven by hunger, Wang Yao reached out to hold the lower end of the branch, took the barbecue slices, and couldn't wait to put the slices into his mouth, and took a bite. The meat was even tenderer than expected. And as he chewed, the rich gravy spread to every taste bud part in his mouth. The rich gravy was as delicious as the marrow that had just been cooked out of the pot.
"tasty!"
"It's delicious." Luna looked at Wang Yao with a smile: "This is my own barbecue method. Covering the mana on the meat slices can not only prevent the meat slices from being baked, but also prevent the meat from being covered by fireworks. Of course, salt fruit is also a very important seasoning. Compared with coarse salt, salt fruit juice is easier to penetrate into the barbecue and can also be distributed more evenly to the surface of the whole piece of meat slices, so that the taste will be more solid and mellow."
Mana roast? There is still such a way to roast meat?
Although it was the first time to eat Luna's food, Wang Yao still knelt down. How bored was this girl who came up with such a strange barbecue method? He couldn't help but wonder if Luna's upgraded skill points had been given all the [Life Skills]!
But no matter what, this dinner was very satisfying to Wang Yao. This was the most down-to-earth and delicious hot food he had ever eaten after he arrived at the canyon battlefield. He ate it alone throughout the whole process. When the feeling of fullness came, the slices of meat brought back by Luna were basically the bottom.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm just consuming it myself." Wang Yao scratched his head awkwardly. He was so excited that he didn't pay attention to Luna was busy barbecuing him throughout the whole process, and she had never eaten it.
"It's okay, I don't eat much, and I'm very happy if you like it." Luna smiled pursed her lips, as gentle as ever.
"That's great." Wang Yao took out the fruit brought back by the girl heartlessly, and started to chew while watching Luna insert the last piece of meat on the branches.
"After that Luna, why did you come to the road? Are you planning to destroy the first defensive tower of Wei?"
"Hey? How did you know?" Luna turned around with a look of surprise.
"Uh, I guess it casually." Wang Yao shrugged his shoulders, hiding his merits and fame.
He is an unknown soldier in the Shu Kingdom Legion. Do you know if the senior leaders of Shu Kingdom arranged for Luna to come because they accepted their proposals? If the proposals proposed by other generals happened to be the same as theirs, wouldn’t he become a shameful villain who deprived others of their achievements?
These days, only by being low-key can you protect yourself.
"You are so amazing, you can guess this." Luna smiled at Wang Yao, but did not pay attention to the hidden secret in Wang Yao's eyes, but instead put her eyes back on the barbecue in the campfire: "Just as you guessed, this time I took the main force to destroy the Wei State's defense tower. But in fact, I was always nervous inside."
"What are you nervous?" Wang Yao couldn't help asking.
"This is my first time leading a military line, and it is also the main force. I was obviously only responsible for supporting the third route in the past." Luna smiled helplessly: "I am afraid that I will mess up the matter. The senior officials of Shu Kingdom seem to value my actions very much. If I messed up accidentally, I will probably be disliked by others again..."
"How come you have such an idea?" Wang Yao was speechless. He couldn't understand that Luna, who had both appearance and strength, would still feel inferior: "You don't have to think too much. In fact, it's very simple. There are no heroes on the road in Wei. What you have to do is lead the troops to eliminate the black soldiers, and then quickly destroy their defense tower while the Wei side has not had time to return to support. However, you should note that when attacking the defense tower, you must first let the troops enter the attack range of the enemy's defense tower, so that the soldiers can attract the firepower of the defense tower, and you can take the opportunity..."
Halfway through the talk, Wang Yao suddenly stopped because he saw Luna staring at him in a daze: "Is there any problem?"
"No, no." Luna subconsciously turned her head, her eyes seemed to be a little erratic, "It just felt that after coming to the canyon battlefield, you seemed to have changed a lot. Speaking of which, you were chased by the Black Armor Army in the wild area for two days. It must be very difficult, right?"
Thinking of his experience in the wild area these two days, Wang Yao fell silent. With a click, he took a big mouthful of fruit. The sweet juice was sandwiched with the hard flesh, just like his days in the wild area these two days.
"Another...it's nothing, that's all."
He suddenly refused to tell the experience of the past two days. Perhaps for many soldiers, this would be a proud deed, but for him, what he did in the jungle these two days was actually impossible to accept from the bottom of his heart.
A picture of a certain early morning came unconsciously in his mind. The young black soldier who was shot to death by himself in order to save his companion was very uncomfortable. He suddenly remembered Mulan's lines. If he was too far away from home, he would forget his hometown, and if he killed too many people, he would forget himself...
I used to think this line was handsome, but now when I recall it, I feel that what is revealed in this sentence is actually full of pain and bitterness that others cannot understand.
"I... did I say something wrong?" Luna asked crampedly when she saw Wang Yao's face was pale and unnatural.
"It's nothing. You're thinking too much, hurry up and eat." Wang Yao shook his head gently and showed a faint smile. "Let's rest early after eating, and I'll rush back to the road tomorrow. The longer the time goes, the more changes will be."
I know it's late to update again, but I feel that for me personally, it may be the best at the moment. I update every day, "write what I want to write and do what I should do". Life may be like this. By the way, the information from the backend said that the contract status has changed. Do anyone want to get the first blood?
