Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 436 Passionate Mutton Feast

I looked at the 50 people in the village, some were singing and dancing, some were concentrating on cooking, the elders were chatting with Captain Peng, and the atmosphere was peaceful and enjoyable, and it didn't seem like there was any problem at all.

But the more so, the more people feel strange.

In such an inaccessible barren mountain and wild ridge, there is such an isolated village, and there are a bunch of human beings speaking demonic language, no matter how you hear it, it doesn't feel right.

Ma Yi'ao looked around, and then said, "From the perspective of the houses, what do you think is the population size of this village?"

I estimated that there must be at least two or three hundred people.

Ma Yi'ao asked again: "How many people are showing up at this moment?"

Let me say 50 people, and some of them disappeared after showing up, but no more than 70 people.

Ma Yi'ao said: "Since entering this village, a total of 67 people have appeared, including 48 people on the scene. The ratio of adults, elderly people, women and children is about 6-3-1. A healthy and thriving village, Do you think this ratio is healthy?"

I said you mean someone hid and didn't show up?
Ma Yi'ao nodded, and said, "It's also possible that Night Walker hid and didn't show up."

I was a little worried, so I glanced at Captain Peng, who was chatting happily with an old villager under the translation of the foreign beauty Di Li, and said, "Do you want to remind me?"

Ma Yi'ao hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are too many people around him, go tell Xie Ning."

After the two had a proper discussion, they decided not to go to Captain Peng, but to raise the matter with Xie Ning, who seemed to be irrelevant in the team but actually had an important decision-making position.

It happened that Xie Ning went to the stream to wash his hands, and when he came back, Ma Yi'ao and I stopped her.

I glanced at Ma Yi'ao, he didn't shirk, but stepped forward and said: "Thank you, Inspector, please take a step to speak."

Xie Ning narrowed his eyes, looked at Ma Yi'ao and me, and said, "What's wrong?"

Ma Yi'ao pointed at me and said: "Hou Mo has learned some demon language, which is the special language of ancient night walkers. He told me that the people in this village speak a kind of demon language, that is to say, This group of people is very likely to be related to wild night crawlers..."

Xie Ning was not surprised when he heard this, and said oh, so it was this.

Seeing her so calm, Ma Yi'ao was a little surprised and said, do you know about this?

Xie Ning laughed, and said that you think Mr. Zhang, as an expert and scholar who studies Kunlun subjects, can't understand the demon language?Even if the accent of this group of people is mixed with many local dialects, this is not a problem for Mr. Zhang; what's more, Tang Dao also understands this...

Ma Yi'ao looked at the slightly mocking expression on her face, and said calmly: "So that's the case. If this is the case, why do you still pretend not to know?"

Xie Ning said: "If you don't dress appropriately, how do you know what kind of medicine is sold in these people's gourds?"

I said that I was afraid that they would poison the food, and then it would be a big trouble.

Xie Ning smiled, and said: "Tang Dao was born in the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu, and he knows the release and pharmacology of poisons the most. With him around, these people can't play tricks."

After she reminded us, we just remembered that although Tang Dao is from the background of wild monsters, he is indeed from the Tang family, and it was by virtue of this superb method that he was able to restrain Zhongzhou hero Zou Guodong and win Under the victory of the actual combat exercise.

Indeed, with Tang Dao around, we really don't need to worry about the risk of being poisoned.

After talking about this, Xie Ning said to Ma Yi'ao and me: "I have heard about the reputation of the two of you, and I also know that you are the outstanding ones from the first advanced research class, so it is not surprising that you have such insights. But you have to trust Captain Peng. It must be reasonable for him to be the captain of the scientific expedition team this time, and to take charge of this matter. We have also considered the allocation of the scientific expedition team, and everyone has enough advantages And expertise, let us be able to deal with all the challenges that follow, you should have more confidence. In addition, before the final result of this matter, just keep quiet and pretend that you don't know, okay?"

Her slightly warning tone made people uncomfortable, but Ma Yi'ao and I didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement.

Then Xie Ning left and returned to the crowd, while Ma Yi'ao and I stayed by the stream, looking at the lively crowd in the distance, not knowing what to say.

Indeed, one of Xie Ning's words is correct, that is, the scientific expedition team may not have many people, but each has unique skills, and they are all extraordinary people.

Even Brother Bing, who accompanied us, knew at a glance that he was one of the top talents in a hundred.

Teacher Zhang and Tang Dao of the scientific expedition team understand even the extremely uncommon demon language.

Moreover, they actually kept their secrets hidden, didn't reveal anything, and pretended not to know anything. In this regard, that Captain Peng is qualified and has enough strength to lead us on.

It's useless to worry about Ma'ao and I.

But I don't know why, I always feel a little unhappy, I rolled the dirt under my feet with my feet, and couldn't help cursing: "What are you pretending to be?"

Ma Yi'ao patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. In fact, thinking about it the other way around, the strength of the scientific expedition team is strong, and the leader has a brain. If it is not a pig teammate, we will save a lot of effort, and Ugin is very hopeful." ——We came here not to fight against others, but to get something is the real reward."

Even though I said this, seeing that girl's vigilance and guard against us made me angry.

Ma Yi'ao smiled, and said: "That Inspector Yang must have reported Tai'a Jian's matter to the higher-ups, and Xie Ning naturally knew about it. Although this matter was suppressed by Empress Tian, ​​the people below have to say It's impossible to have no resentment, so we can understand our attitude. Speaking of it, it's still my fault, if it weren't for my greed, we wouldn't be treated like this..."

I heard him look a little bit ashamed, and his anger finally dissipated, saying hey, it's true, we got a benefit, and it's normal to be a little angry.

The two comforted each other, and at this time, the roasted whole lamb in the distance was almost done, with honey and spices sprinkled on it, the smell was everywhere, making people salivate.

The people in this village were very enthusiastic, and they began to gather everyone to come forward to share the food. We couldn't stand by the stream anymore, so we surrounded them.

If I had smelled this mouth-watering aroma before, I might have stepped forward enthusiastically, but after knowing the weirdness of this village, Ma Yi'ao and I subconsciously stood on the periphery, not daring to go forward.

But the people in this village were very enthusiastic, they pushed us guests to the front, and offered bright red grape juice.

Ma Yi'ao and I hid on the edge, but the girl named Di Li came over and said to us enthusiastically: "You two handsome pots, why are you hiding behind? Come and sit in front, our uncle Gega said Let the distinguished guests have a taste of our snow goats - these goats grew up drinking snow mountain water, the meat is warm and moist, there is no smell at all, it is very delicious..."

She reached out and took Ma Yi'ao's hand. The enthusiasm in those big eyes almost melted Ma Yi'ao.

It was me, on the other hand, who was left alone, a little bleak.

But it's no wonder, who told us that we are not handsome guys, Ma Yi'ao and I are standing together, which is completely a supporting green leaf.

The girl didn't pay attention to me at all.

I followed Ma Yi'ao to the bonfire. The uncle with a goat beard who looked a bit like Avanti was talking enthusiastically. Although Di Li was a little reluctant to part with Ma Yi'ao, she still He left, stepped forward, and began to translate.

In fact, there is no need for translation for these words, which are normal scene words, welcome guests from afar, and hope we can have fun here and spend a beautiful night.

Then the elder raised the croissant in his hand and drank with us.

When the uncle Gega was talking, we also stuffed croissants in our hands, and the wine in the glasses was filled up, but it smelled a little sour, and it was not a good wine.

Captain Peng raised his glass, but he didn't drink it, but glanced at Tang Dao next to him.

Tang Dao didn't hesitate, he raised his glass and drank it directly, while the others saw that they didn't wait any longer and drank the glass of wine.

I drank it the same way, and it felt a little sour. The taste of the wine was very light, but it had a strong grape flavor. Obviously, the winemaking technique was not very good, and it was just a very primitive fermentation process.

But not to mention, this sip of wine actually opened up the appetite, and the smell of the fragrant roast lamb made people even more greedy.

After toasting the wine, the elder touched a beautifully carved silver knife, cut off the fattest piece of meat from the roast lamb, and handed it to Captain Peng. At this moment, Tang Dao stepped forward, As if greedy, he took a bite first, and then shouted: "It's delicious, it's delicious..."

When Captain Peng saw it, he pretended to berate him first, and then put the piece of meat into his mouth with a smile.

He was sure that the roast lamb was non-toxic, so he dared to eat it with confidence.

Captain Peng ate the first piece, and the banquet began. The elders began to divide the meal, rotating the mutton on the grill, and then divided the meat, put it on a pottery plate, and handed it out to everyone. I also got a piece of breast. The meat, after tasting, was really charred on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious.

And then there was boiled mutton soup served, Tang Dao still tried it first, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, he distributed it to everyone.

Everyone shared mutton, drank grape juice, sang and danced, and were very happy. Ma Yi'ao and I were eating next to each other, and young girls kept coming over to talk to Ma Yi'ao and invite him to dance, while I Nest in the corner.

Fortunately, there was a little monk Mo Yan as his companion, so he was not so lonely just now.

Everything seemed to be just a lively banquet, but when the banquet was in full swing, suddenly a fat woman ran from a room not far away, and fell to the ground within a few steps.

And then, she never got up again.
