Chapter 5 The game is roasted
After the man showed his fierce look, he kept paying attention to Hong Xiaoduo's expression. He originally thought that he would shock her this time, but he didn't expect that she just curled her lips in disdain, not at all. What other reaction, what panic? Afraid?
On the contrary, the seven little beggars left the barbecue fire and gathered around the little lady.
I saw the seven children around me, no matter how old they were, they all had the same look on their faces. They were obviously very scared, but they were all holding rocks and sticks (twigs) in their hands. He looked like he was going to fight to the death with her.
Hong Xiaoduo looked quite surprised. Aren't these seven little ones supposed to protect their flesh?
The hungry ones in front of them stared at the roasted game with joyful eyes without blinking, as if they were afraid that if they blinked, they would fly away without eating.
She felt something was touched in her heart. She didn’t know if this was considered touching?
"Don't be nervous, it's okay. Let's see what this stick you are holding can do?" Hong Xiaoduo comforted the extremely nervous and panic-stricken children with a warm voice while looking at the ones closest to him. asked a little girl.
The little girl is only about five or six years old. She has been hungry for a long time and is thin. Her whole body is trembling slightly because of nervousness.
Listening to Hong Xiaoduo asking, Then he looked down at his hands.
Hong Xiaoduo motioned to show her the stick in his hand, and the little girl released her tightly held hands.
Hong Xiaoduo picked up the small wooden stick and broke it gently. The small wooden stick that had been corroded by the wind and rain was broken.
Well, the little girl's face immediately felt a little embarrassed, and she didn't dare to look at Hong Xiaoduo, as if she had done something wrong. But when she saw her brothers looking for weapons, she only had this at hand.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the eldest child: "Are those baked almost ready?" she asked.
The older boy was not sure why she asked so and nodded.
Hearing what he said, Hong Xiaoduo raised his head and looked at the man on horseback.
The man on horseback was not far away from Hong Xiaoduo, because she heard what she asked the big boy at the time, and thought to herself, now that she knows the truth, why did she go there so early?
According to his speculation, this little lady will probably appease these little ladies, and then ask them to bring over the roasted game.
While on horseback, he had already smelled the aroma of roasted game, and couldn't help but swallowed. It wasn't that he had never eaten before, but that he was really hungry.
Also, the skill of these little beggars in roasting game feels good just by looking at them.
He thought that he would feed it to his master later, and then he could eat the fragrant roasted hare and roasted pheasant. One bite would fill his mouth with fragrance, but it was a pity that he would have to travel later and couldn't drink.
Looking at the companion next to him with a little pride, you are a small boy, you can borrow my light now!
Huh? What is this expression? You don’t want to eat barbecue anymore, do you? Seeing the half-smiling expression on Fan Wu's face again, the man was very dissatisfied, but beside his master, he didn't quarrel like a woman.
Hmph, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to deal with him in the future!
"It's baked. That's okay. You go and share it with your younger brothers and sisters. Be careful not to burn them." Hong Xiaoduo looked at the man on the horse, but he said to the older boy. Yes, I don’t know if I was afraid that someone wouldn’t hear, so I made it loud on purpose.
What a horse?
Aside from the invisible expressions of the people in the carriage, Fan Wu was the only one present who did not show a puzzled or surprised expression.
"Hurry up, it won't taste good if it's overcooked and burnt later." Hong Xiaoduo knew what was going on and urged him slowly.
"Oh." The older boy confirmed what she meant. Although he was surprised and a little worried, he still led the younger ones back to the fire obediently.
As the little guys walked that way, they secretly turned back and glanced at the face of the man on horseback. Emma, why does that evil man seem to be stupid?
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the older boy and took out a bamboo dagger from the tattered cloth bag that looked like a treasure chest. Other children nearby handed it over with the big leaves prepared as usual.
The big boy skillfully separated the hare into two parts and motioned for one to be brought to Hong Xiaoduo.
"You divide yours first, and give it to me last." Hong Xiaoduo saw the big boy's intention and said loudly.
After hearing this, the boy paused for a moment and then continued to share the points with other children. Finally, the big boy held a whole hare in leaves and brought half a pheasant to her.
Hong Xiaoduo signaled him to take away half of the hare, then tore off the legs of the roasted hare, put it in front of his nose, smelled it exaggeratedly, and nodded with satisfaction.
The seven children held their portions of game and walked behind Hong Xiaoduo to find a seat to sit down. They blew on it with their small mouths and bit into it tentatively.
It’s so fragrant, so hot, so delicious, blow it, eat it quickly.
The children were afraid of being burned and couldn't wait to eat. From time to time they looked up and looked ahead to prevent people on horseback from coming to snatch them. It looked a little funny, but Hong Xiaoduo laughed. Not coming out.
Looking at the man on horseback who looked like he had been struck by lightning, Hong Xiaoduo was very satisfied and took a bite of rabbit leg meat. Well, the heat was just right and not too much salt was sprinkled on it. Just right.
"Children, is the meat delicious?" She not only ate it, but also asked loudly.
The seven little ones were eating deliciously. When my mother asked, they all stopped and responded loudly: "It's delicious." Then they continued to eat meat, oooh, it tastes so good.
Only the biggest one, after responding that it was delicious, looked at the statue on the horse again.
Then, I looked at the "mother" on the stone. It turns out that mother is such a person. It feels so good!
"Eat slowly, it will be okay." He whispered to his companions.
Even if the meat in the hand is only bitten a few times, the people on the horse will not want it, let alone the master in their carriage. After all, unlike poor little people like them, what they usually eat is the leftover soup and rice that others don’t want, and most of the time it’s sour.
Even if there are bones to chew on, there is basically no meat on them. It is just the smell of chewing on them and the remaining meat residue.
However, it won’t really be okay. The people on the horseback carriage have not said anything, have not gotten angry, and have not left yet!
There was also a man named Fan Wu, who was watching the excitement on horseback with great interest.
There are not many pedestrians passing by on this mountain road. Now, the scene is that one, one and seven children are eating roasted game. A carriage is parked there quietly, and the two guards on horseback are looking at each other with different expressions. Let others eat meat.
"Ah, ah, I'm so angry." When he saw Hong Xiaoduo throwing away the bones in his hand with great satisfaction and looking towards him with a smile, the statue on the horse finally reacted and became furious.
"Mom, drink some clean water." The older boy also finished eating and very considerately brought water in a small pottery bowl with a chip.
"Mom, wipe your hands." A little girl also shouted and handed over an old piece of cloth.
Mother? The two guards on horseback couldn't believe this call. They looked at each other, thinking that their ears were not good and they heard it wrong.
But when I saw the look on the other person’s face, I knew that I heard it right.
Just such an unfamiliar word confused the man who was furious and wanted to rush over to take action. This was too ridiculous!
"Are the children full?" In any case, the other party did not prevent them from delaying their snack of meat and meat. Hong Xiaoduo was quite satisfied and asked the little ones happily.
"As you say, mother, you are full." The seven little ones responded in unison, their childish voices also filled with satisfaction.
How long had it been since they had eaten enough? They didn’t know how long it had been since they had eaten meat. When they looked at the man on the horse, they were not as afraid as before. After eating, they were beaten to death. Bar.
What? All seven of them call her mother? What the hell is going on?
Did she use the disguise technique? In fact, she is already an old lady? The two guards were even more shocked!
"You look like you haven't left the palace yet, but you have so many young ladies calling you mother? Is it possible that you are the beggar's gang leader's lover?" He couldn't buy the roasted game smoothly, and he still watched helplessly. Let others eat it happily.
I originally wanted to behave well with my master, but now I am fine. I was teased by a little lady and let Fan Wu watch the joke. The master was present the whole time. How will I look at him in the future?
Vicious words blurted out.
Fan Wu watched the smile on the little lady’s face gradually disappear, feeling unsure...
