Qingyunxian

Chapter 4: Dragon City

If Liu Xun wants to plot against the bird, he needs to stay in Dalong City for some time.

The most urgent thing is to find a place to live.

A penniless refugee like him looked very abnormal. If he didn't want to be targeted by the internal guards of Dalong City, he needed to settle down as soon as possible and find a job to make a living.

Liu Xun was neither hurried nor slow, he knew where he should go.

In the slaughterhouse in the city, a burly and strong man was skillfully handling wild beasts and livestock.

Suddenly, he felt someone standing in front of him. When he looked up, he saw Liu Xun's harmless face.

"Boss He, I'd like to find a job with you." Liu Xun's expression was very sincere, and he was smiling so sincerely that even his parents didn't dare to confirm his appearance.

He Dazhu looked at Liu Xun for a few times and snorted, "Are you here to escape? Go somewhere else, you little bastard, don't try to kill the pig but end up getting pushed over by it instead!"

There is only one job in a slaughterhouse, and that is slaughtering animals.

He Dazhui was right. How much strength could someone as delicate and tender as Liu Xun have in his hands?
Liu Xun ignored the impatience on He Dazhu's face and continued, "I am born lucky, and the fortune teller also said that I am extraordinary. Maybe if he accepts me, Boss He will be very lucky."

He Dazhu stabbed the wooden table with the sharp knife in his hand and sneered, "When I was six years old, my mother told me that I would be very noble and would meet a noble person at the age of thirty."

"Bah, my old lady has caused me so much trouble. I'm exactly thirty this year, and even pigs look like noble people to me!"

"Hamabi noble man!"

The corners of Liu Xun's mouth twitched twice. This butcher He is also a wonderful person.

Without saying anything more, Liu Xun walked straight into the slaughterhouse.

The butcher He's face trembled: "Hey, I met another idiot today!"

Just as He the Butcher followed in, he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he staggered backward.

Wherever Liuxun walked, the pigs in the pens knelt on the ground.

"Oh my god, did I see a pig?" Butcher He slapped his forehead and screamed.

These pigs bow to Liu Xun when they see him. Could it be that they are seeing the pig ancestor?
Liu Xun's mouth twitched even more violently, and he spoke to dispel He the butcher's increasingly strange thoughts: "My family has been butchering pigs for generations, so maybe he has been influenced by the evil spirit of butchering pigs."

In fact, Liu Xun only drew the aura of the earth crickets in the Wilderness Scripture, frightening these livestock so much that they knelt on the ground in fear.

Butcher He touched his chest and said, "My goodness, how many pigs must have been killed?"

Even with He Dazhu's muscular brain, he was unable to figure out Liu Xun's excuses which were full of mistakes.

Thanks to Liu Xunlu's move, He the butcher finally let him stay.

In He Dazhu's eyes, as long as it is convenient to kill pigs, he doesn't care about any strange things.

He was still thinking, could it be that Liu Xun was the noble person?

Well, he can improve the efficiency of the slaughterhouse and increase the profits, so he is a noble man.

After Liu Xun killed a pig, He the butcher handed over the slaughterhouse to him with confidence and went to buy wild animals.

The upper class of Dalong City prefers to eat wild beasts and fierce creatures, and they are big customers.

Liu Xun stood in the small slaughterhouse, holding a knife and looking at the pigs in the pen.

Seeing Liu Xun's smile, the pigs shivered inexplicably and tried to shrink into the innermost part of the pen.

Forty-two pigs were the result of Liu Xun's busy afternoon.

The processed pork was placed in different parts, and Liu Xun only kept all the pork neck meat.

This was agreed upon in advance with the butcher He, and the pork neck would be used as Liu Xun's daily wage.

The pork neck meat on earth is also called plum meat, which is the most delicious part of the pig.

But no one in this world knew how to cook it, so Liu Xun took away all the pork neck.

He Dazhu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Using a small piece of dispensable meat from a pig as wages, why not?

Liu Xun carried the pork neck meat and went straight to where ordinary people lived. After paying ten pieces of pork neck meat and promising to provide two pieces of meat every day, Liu Xun successfully rented a dilapidated half-sized wooden house.

The owner of the house happily moved into his father-in-law's house not far away with his family, and left the wooden house with only a pot and a bed to Liu Xun.

Liu Xun frowned and looked at the dust on the stove. The room was really too dirty.

After cleaning up a bit, Liu Xun looked out the window.

"The strange bird in Dalong City likes to eat animal meat and fat. It often sneaks into residents' homes to steal animal meat and fat. This is its habit!"

Liu Xun started from the slaughterhouse in order to obtain pork.

He was penniless, and the fastest way to get money was not to steal or rob, as the guards in Dalong City were not there to eat and do nothing.

The bird did not choose the meat and fat of animals randomly. It was more picky than ordinary people!

Liu Xun took the pork belly and cooked it well. He just needed to wait quietly and the bird would eventually be attracted.

In the next few days, Liu Xun went back and forth between the slaughterhouse and the wooden house on time.

He also bought trees with a resinous scent from woodcutters. This kind of wood smells good but stinks when burned, so it cannot be used as incense and ordinary people are not willing to use it as firewood.

Only Liu Xun bought back a lot.

Liu Xun looked at the pile of pine resin firewood and laughed: "I didn't expect to make bacon again in the wilderness."

Yes, he was going to make the pork brisket into smoked meat.

The taste has never appeared in Dalong City. I guess the bird can't resist the temptation?
It took Liu Xun half a night to smoke most of the fresh pork neck and hang it on the beams. The next step was to wait slowly.

For several days, the bacon on the roof beams showed no reaction.

Until one day, when Liu Xun came back from the slaughterhouse, he saw claw marks on the bacon.

The bacon still had obvious signs of being pecked at.

Liu Xun's eyes lit up with joy, as the claw marks and pecking marks were obviously not made by mice.

That bird was here!

Liu Xun looked around calmly, but found no trace of birds.

But it doesn’t matter, Liu Xun just needs to make sure it has been here.

Given its greedy nature, it will definitely never forget the taste of smoked plum meat after eating it.

Liu Xun sat on the bed, tapping his knees with his fingers, and muttered to himself: "What kind of trap should I make?"

It is definitely impossible to put drugs in the meat. The bird is very alert and will become even more vigilant after seeing through it.

We can only rely on external traps.

With more than four hundred years of experience, Liu Xun is not helpless against a bird.

Liu Xun carried a piece of meat and some wine and went to a carpenter's house in the city at night.

On the second day, Liu Xun prepared everything and did not go to the slaughterhouse. Instead, he lay at the bottom of the wooden bed.

After an unknown amount of time, a clear cry was heard from the wooden house, like the sound of water dripping on stone.

Liu Xun under the bed opened his eyes: "Here it comes!"

After two breaths, there was a click and the open window closed automatically.

Liu Xun crawled out from under the bed and stared at a two-foot-long bird on the roof beam.

It has a white head and a naked body, with two tail feathers as long as its body, dragging behind it, like a ball of dancing flame attached to the beam of the house.

Liu Xun and the fiery red bird looked at each other and raised their eyebrows: "Hello."
