Chapter 1 A Weak Chicken Cook(1/2)
The north wind howls like a cold blade, causing all things to wither.
On the deserted valley path with only some rocks, Yu Ziqing tightened a large cloak made of several layers of black cloth haphazardly patched together, and wrapped a black dog-skin hat on his head. Only a pair of squinted eyes were exposed. He shrank into the middle of the group and quietly raised his head.
Take a glance.
Behind the team, followed one hundred, seventy or eighty goats, most of which were skinny and skinny. In addition, there were six long-haired cattle carrying supplies.
On both sides of the team, seven or eight black and skinny men, with their necks slightly hunched, looked after the sheep listlessly.
At the front of the team were four men with shiny dark skin and felt-like hair, riding tall horses and wearing only animal skin waistcoats, but they were still steaming in the freezing cold weather.
Just getting closer, Yu Ziqing felt that it wasn't as cold anymore.
The man with snake tattoos on his face on the right seemed to be aware of Yu Ziqing's approach. He glanced back and spoke to his companions in a foreign dialect with a heavy accent.
Yu Ziqing lowered his head and pretended not to understand. Anyway, he knew with his heels that these guys would not be able to spit out any good shit.
After listening to a few words, the four strong men changed the topic away from Yu Ziqing and started chatting on their own.
Yu Ziqing lowered his head, as if afraid of the cold, and followed closely behind the four big men.
After half an hour, when snow began to fall in the sky, the man on the right with snake tattoos on his face turned to glare at Yu Ziqing and spoke in Mandarin with a slightly stiff accent.
"I'm hungry, let's roast some meat."
"Oh." Yu Ziqing responded and thought to himself, it's a good thing that I learned Mandarin very quickly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand such simple words with a slight accent.
When they reached a mountain col with leeward wind, four strong men dismounted from their horses to set up tents and drove the cattle and sheep into the innermost part of the col. Then they turned to look at Yu Ziqing.
Yu Ziqing had no expression on his face and went to find some remaining dry weeds in the crevices of the pile of rocks to start a fire.
After a while, Yu Ziqing took out the frozen, hard meat, cut it into slices with a guillotine, and spread it on the hot stone slab. Soon, the fat sizzled and the aroma began to spread.
Four big and thick men pulled their cheeks and stuffed them hard. Yu Ziqing roasted them for a long time, and in less than half a cup of tea, they were completely eaten.
After eating, and drinking bad wine from animal skin wineskins, several strong men continued to speak in the foreign dialect with a heavy tongue.
After having enough food and wine, the three strong men were slightly drunk. They fell down beside the tent, wrapped themselves in animal skins and fell asleep, snoring like thunder. Only the strong man with snake pattern was still sitting by the campfire.
Yu Ziqing looked at the empty stone slab, stepped aside silently, took out a piece of dry naan from his arms, boiled some hot water and softened it, and then swallowed it slowly.
The few chapped men came over quietly, scraped the remaining grease crumbs on the stone slab with dry biscuits, and wolfed them down.
Yu Ziqing sighed secretly, said nothing, and stood up holding his lower abdomen. Seeing this, the strong man with snake pattern waved his hand impatiently.
After walking out of the mountain col and reaching the leeward outlet, Yu Zi cleared the water and looked around, sighing secretly.
It's really unlucky.
To be honest, when I first came to this world and found out that it was an ancient setting, Yu Ziqing was quite worried, not for himself, but for others.
I was afraid that if I drank some Ollie, I would create a plague that could wipe out the entire city.
Then, he thought too much.
He had never seen the city at all.
Less than three days after landing, I saw a new sun rising on the horizon, its dazzling light expanding exponentially.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found a bunker immediately, otherwise he would have been blinded by the bright light on the spot.
Disaster has struck.
After a month of hard work, I still couldn't find the so-called city. When I finally found the villages, they were all deserted and not even a single living person could be found.
It has been very difficult not to die of thirst and starvation for more than a month.
Finally, I saw a living person, but it was four strong men who captured him.
After marching in the team for a month, the old scholar who taught him Mandarin in the team had disappeared.
The bastard who wanted to be a bitch and cling to the strong man's lap has also disappeared.
Even several women disappeared after Yu Ziqing woke up.
At that time, according to the strong man with the snake-striped face, anyone who wanted to could run away, but the land within a radius of three to four hundred miles was completely deserted, and the weather was so cold. Without the resources in the hands of the strong man, he might not be able to survive for three days.
.
Yu Ziqing didn't plan to run away. When the disappeared old scholar taught him Mandarin, he also taught him some foreign languages. In addition, Yu Ziqing started from scratch and listened to it, and he could basically understand it.
I had nothing to do and eavesdropped on the chatter of the few strongmen who came over. The summary is that these strongmen are traffickers going to the mines. Moreover, the weather this year is abnormal, it gets cold very early, and it is getting colder day by day.
There were some disasters in the past few months. Today, it is difficult to find a village even within a radius of 500 miles or even 1,000 miles.
These trafficked people were told that there was no man's land within a radius of three to four hundred miles. Yu Ziqing estimated that these weaklings must have deliberately dug holes to give people some hope of escape.
According to empirical estimates, the temperature is now almost minus 20 degrees, and it is getting colder and colder. He is not sure that under such circumstances, he will be a headless fly and travel thousands of miles into a completely unfamiliar place... No, it may be bigger.
No man's land.
Survive first and then talk.
Of course, he also knew that he couldn't run away.
Returning to the mountain col, Yu Ziqing hunched slightly, wrapped himself in a patchwork cloak, and lay beside the bonfire.
Not long after, while half asleep and half awake, I vaguely saw a figure moving.
Yu Ziqing remained motionless, breathing evenly. He just opened his eyes slightly and watched quietly.
A man with a black hairy patch on the left side of his face made a small circle around the edge of the camp, picked up a skinny lamb, and wriggled away along the edge.
Through the faint light of the campfire, Yu Ziqing could still see that the lamb had its head drooped, and he didn't know if it was dead.
As soon as this man left the temporary camp, he saw several other figures quietly following him, and they left quietly while gesturing.
In the camp, even the strong man with snake pattern who kept vigil at the end had fallen asleep.
Yu Ziqing sighed secretly, with a somewhat complicated expression. He didn't know whether to admire the courage of these people or lament their next fate.
Sure enough, when these people walked no more than ten feet away, Yu Ziqing saw a black rope on the ground, like a black snake swimming, following it with a thin rustling sound.
The man carrying the lamb seemed to stumble and stumble. He put his hands on the ground and was about to stand up. The skinny lamb on his back silently turned into a sheepskin and was draped around him.
On the body.
The black rope that was approaching quietly was also wrapped around his neck at this moment.
A seven-foot man was dragged into the shadows by the black rope without any suspense.
"Baa... baa..."
Accompanied by frightening bleating sounds in the night, the bonfire suddenly became blazing. Under the light, I saw a strong man with snake pattern standing in the shadow without knowing it.
He held a black rope in one hand and a white goat on the other.
There is a round piece of black hair on the left side of the goat's face.
The shape is just like the black hairy mole on the left face of the man before.
Seeing the strong man with the snake pattern walking out of the shadows with a sneer, the remaining people, with frightened expressions on their faces, waved the knives they got from nowhere and stabbed the body of the strong man with the snake pattern.
"Ding."
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, but the place where the knife was pierced was still glowing with oil, and even the skin was not broken.
The roaring flames of the bonfire subsided again, and everything was covered in shadow again.
After a while, Yu Ziqing saw the strong man with the snake pattern coming back, holding a black rope in his hand and tying up seven or eight skinny goats.
Everything was quiet, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
In the second half of the night, it seemed to be even colder than yesterday.
Yu Ziqing was woken up by the cold, so he could only get closer to the bonfire and the human-shaped stoves, and finally he didn't feel so cold anymore.
But at this point, I no longer feel sleepy.
Taking advantage of the light of the fire, Yu Ziqing took out a yellowed book, and then used blackened charcoal as a charcoal pencil to write and draw on the book.
The strong man with snake print sitting on the night watch sat by the bonfire. He glanced at it and saw the word "recipe" on the cover of the book. He turned his head with surprise and took out a black scorpion and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yu Ziqing opened the menu and found that most of it contained words with very complicated strokes. In the gaps between the lines, there were small Chinese characters written in familiar Chinese characters.
Code name: Snake tattooed face.
Real name: Holgeda (transliteration), original text **** (blacked out).
Identity: A member of the Bantu tribe (which has been destroyed), Ren Yazi, a cannibal evil cultivator, and an informant of the seventh floor (unknown force).
Main experience: The tribe was destroyed, wandering in the wilderness, and accidentally obtained a fragment of the Dharma Book called "Five Poisons Often Heard", which started Ren Yazi's path of evil cultivation.
Often eat poisonous substances (there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the supplies, which are necessary for spiritual practice).
Practice evil laws and create animals.
Controlling the rope, the black rope is actually made of hair mixed with unknown types of wool and is an essential magical tool for creating evil animals.
After that, Yu Ziqing continued to add:
To be invulnerable, it does not require the physical body to be trained horizontally, nor the use of Qi to resist. It requires eating poisonous substances to nourish and practice. Poisonous substances can also be used as blue medicine.
This is what I just saw. I have seen eating poisons many times to practice, but it is his speculation that eating poisons immediately after taking action can be used as blue medicine to quickly replenish and consume.
To be continued...
