Chapter 319 The Unfamiliar Pixiu
Chapter 319 The Unfamiliar Pixiu
After parting ways with Tianlu and the others, Mitang continued to sell Bobo Chicken at Caiyun Mountain.
However, Mi Tang oversimplified things, thinking that as long as his Bo Bo Chicken tasted good, it would sell like hotcakes.
But the reality is that the animals in the mountains are too fierce, and somehow they even have a habit of robbing people.
If Tianlu hadn't left Mitang with a tuft of fur because he was worried that she would be bullied by the animals in the mountains when he left, she probably would have been eaten by the carnivores in the mountains long ago.
That's why Mi Tang especially misses the days when she was by Tian Lu's side, a time when she didn't have to worry about danger and only needed him to focus on researching how to make better Bo Bo Chicken.
"Sigh, I wonder where Mr. Pi lives. It would be great if I could go and stay with him."
Mitang glanced at the empty stroller and sighed helplessly.
Since leaving Tianlu and his brother, not only is their safety not guaranteed, but even obtaining food has become more difficult, especially meat.
Now even the last of the vegetarian ingredients are sold out. If he can't get the ingredients today, he won't be able to make Bo Bo Chicken.
"Meimei, this is the place I told you about skewers."
Just as Mi Tang was worrying about where to get the ingredients, he saw a two-tailed kitten with black spots and an orange fox walking towards him.
Mitang vaguely remembered the two-tailed kitten; its name seemed to be Walnut. She had bought a few skewers of Sichuan-style boiled chicken from him a few days ago.
Now it seems that Walnut must have tried his skewers and thought they were delicious, so he brought his friend along.
"But why would a canine be a friend of a feline?"
Hmm, I think I saw a big green cat bothering a big white dog when I was selling skewers in the mountains before.
Is it a unique feature of these mountains that felines and canines are friends? Maybe I should find one too; that might help me integrate faster.
Just as Mitang was lost in thought, Walnut pulled Meimei to Mitang's cart: "Boss, give me a few more of those spicy skewers from the day before yesterday."
"By the way, boss, this is my good buddy Meimei. He's rich, so you can rest assured and put the accounts on his end."
"???" Meimei, who was thinking about what to eat later, couldn't help but have many small question marks pop up in her head after hearing what Walnut said.
"You little devil! No wonder you were so generous in treating me to skewers today. Turns out you were the one paying and I'm the one footing the bill."
Although Meimei inwardly condemned Walnut's actions, she still took out her wallet in the end, but the heartache on her face was impossible to hide: "Boss, give us a few skewers, how much?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, you two, I've run out of ingredients, so I can't cook for the time being." Mi Tang pointed apologetically to the pot next to her.
All that was left inside was the broth from cooking the Sichuan-style boiled chicken; there was nothing else.
Mitang originally thought that Walnut and the others would leave after hearing that he couldn't make Bobo Chicken, but instead he saw Walnut and the others excitedly patting themselves.
Soon, Walnut pulled out a few dried loaches and a furry mouse from his person: "Boss, I have some ingredients here."
“Me too.” Meimei also pulled out a few roasted lizards from her body: “Boss, you see we bring our own ingredients, can you give us a discount and just charge us a processing fee?”
Mi Tang's lips twitched as she looked at the furry mouse in Walnut's hand. She quickly stopped Walnut from throwing the mouse into the pot.
If this thing were put into the pot he uses to make Sichuan-style boiled chicken, he would throw the pot and the rat away the next moment.
Just as Mitang stopped Walnut, Meimei threw the roasted lizard into the pot and started a fire.
"You, you..."
As the boss, Mi Tang felt a suffocating sensation well up inside her, but quickly deflated like a punctured balloon, waving her hand helplessly: "Fine, do whatever you want!"
He could just throw away the soup; he figured he wouldn't be able to get any more ingredients anyway, so he'd just dump it all out later.
With Mi Tang's tacit approval, Walnut also threw the dried loach into the pot.
Just as Walnut was about to throw the mouse away, Mitang absolutely refused: "Even though I don't want this soup, you should at least take care of it, like skinning the mouse."
In the end, after a flurry of activity, Walnut managed to eat the pot-boiled rat.
"Mmm, that's the taste! Spicy, it's so satisfying, though it's a bit tough on the tongue. I'll let Fu-zai try it in my dreams too, hehe~"
"Mitang, your skills are really good. By the way, why don't you continue making these?"
Meimei initially didn't think much of the Bobo Chicken; she thought it couldn't possibly be as delicious as roasted lizard.
However, after trying the pot-bellied lizard, Meimei found that eating it this way seemed quite good.
Judging from Mitang's behavior, she wasn't even preparing the ingredients anymore, and it seemed she wasn't planning to continue making Bo Bo Chicken. This made Meimei feel a little sorry for Mitang's skills.
After hearing Meimei's question, Mitang sighed, which immediately made Meimei feel that there was more to the story.
As an outstanding employee of the Deer Man Shop, Meimei subconsciously patted Mitang on the shoulder: "Mitang, if you need any help, you can go to my boss. He runs a Deer Man Shop, which specializes in helping mythical beasts and spirits."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Meimei. But I just have a few small questions. I want to know where I can buy some things here. I'd like to buy some meat skewers and vegetables."
In just a few words from Mitang, Meimei quickly understood the difficulties Mitang was facing: she was simply too weak to get food and therefore couldn't continue making Bobo Chicken.
"There are places to buy things, but they're too far from here."
Meimei looked at Mitang's short legs and subconsciously shook her head.
When he runs errands for the four-legged creatures, whether he goes to the village of the Wamao or transforms into a human to go to the town, it's all very far from here. Only he, with his long legs, can run fast.
When Mi Tang learned that the nearest village, Wa Mao Village, was four or five hours away from his location by running, he immediately gave up the idea of making the purchase.
However, Walnut, who had just finished eating a mouse, panicked when he heard Meimei and Mitang's conversation. If Mitang didn't make Bobo Chicken, then Fuzai wouldn't be able to eat it when he came to visit him!
no! ! !
"Little dog, you just can't catch any prey, right? Simple, come with me, I'll teach you how to hunt."
Walnut patted his chest confidently and said, "I've watched Pipi hunt; it's very simple."
"Really? You're really willing to teach me hunting? Can I do it?"
Compared to Walnut's confidence, Mi Tang was somewhat skeptical. He had seen the animals in the mountains these past few days, and each one was bigger than the last.
Even after examining the size of the walnut, Mi Tang became even more unsure whether they could really hunt their prey safely.
As for the safety of the walnuts, Meimei was not worried at all. After all, they had lived in the mountains for a long time, and the locals all knew that they came from Luren Shop and were under the command of the fourth boss.
Unless these animals no longer need the help of the Deer Man Shop, they will never harm themselves.
And so, at the urging of Walnut and Meimei, Mitang finally agreed to go hunting with them.
It's hard to say whether their luck was good or bad; on the one hand, they didn't encounter any prey along the way, and on the other hand, they were safe the whole way.
"What's going on? I haven't been able to find a single thing to eat today!"
Walnut was a little discouraged. She had originally planned to show off her skills in front of Mi Tang to win her favor and make it easier to freeload in the future.
Just as Walnut was about to give up, Meimei suddenly pointed excitedly to a pink paw sticking out of the grass ahead: "Shh, look there, there's an animal sleeping in the grass."
Following the direction Meimei's paw pointed, Walnut and Rice Candy also saw the paw in the grass.
Walnut's face showed a hint of surprise, not expecting that they could still find prey like this: "Keep your voice down, don't wake him up, watch me."
Walnut pointed to himself, then to Meimei, and then to the paw in the grass, indicating that Meimei should join him in flanking it.
"Ha, got you!"
Walnut leaped with all its might and pounced into the bushes, pinning its sleeping prey down.
"Meimei, come quick, I've held him down."
"Here it comes, Walnut, hold on tight, don't let the prey escape."
Meimei called Walnut's hand, and with the same force, jumped into the grass.
But when Meimei saw her prey pinned to the ground by Walnut, she instantly snapped back to reality.
"Boss Haochen, it's you?"
Meimei paced anxiously, then stepped forward and tugged at Walnut: "Walnut is wrong, this is Boss Haochen, not prey."
"What?! Haochen?!"
Walnut was startled by Meimei's words. Looking down, it saw that the animal beneath it had black fur.
"Could I be that unlucky? To have fallen prey to Hao Chen?!"
Thinking of the consequences of doing so, Walnut involuntarily clenched its two tails.
However, after Walnut got off "Haochen", it found that "Haochen" on the ground had fallen into a coma for some reason.
Just as Walnut was about to take the opportunity to run away, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the mark on "Haochen's" hind leg was actually a black square, and he immediately frowned: "That's not right, he's not Haochen."
Walnut pointed to the black square and said, "Meimei, although the pattern on Haochen's leg is black, it is round, just like Pipi's, but his is square."
"Oh right." Meimei suddenly realized, but she was still a little unsure, since the one on the ground looked a lot like Haochen.
No, not only does he look like Haochen, but he also looks like Pipi, except that the horns on his head seem a little smaller.
Meimei wondered if they were all Pixiu, otherwise how could they look so alike? But how could there suddenly be an extra Pixiu? She hadn't heard Haochen mention that they had any brothers or anything like that.
While Meimei was still in a daze, Mitang went over to check on the unconscious Pixiu on the ground and said anxiously, "It's bad, his breath is very weak, he seems to be dying."
"What!!!" Mei Mei was shocked. A creature resembling a Pixiu had suddenly appeared. She had to tell the Fourth Boss first, no matter what.
Moreover, this person might be a relative of Hao Chen's family.
Meimei turned to look at Walnut, only to see that Walnut's eyes were serious, indicating that he had also thought of these things.
"Mitang, can I borrow your stroller for a moment? We need to take him back to the Deer Man Shop first."
"No problem, do you need me to help carry him up?"
"Thanks!"
With Mitang's help, Meimei and Hetao carried the creature that resembled a Pixiu onto the cart.
If Hao Chen were here, he would recognize that the person Walnut and the others encountered was actually Seventy-Seven, the same Seventy-Seven he encountered when he traveled to a parallel world.
Meanwhile, Zhan Hu waited at the Wang family villa for about half an hour. Just as they were about to lose patience, Hao Chen appeared in front of Zhan Hu looking exhausted.
Before Hao Chen could even speak, Tian Lu suddenly pointed at Hao Chen's head and exclaimed in surprise, "Hao Chen, your head is split open!"
"..." Hao Chen naturally knew his situation. A tiny crack ran through his forehead, and specks of vital energy flew out through the crack, turning into a rain of light and dissipating into the world.
However, these are minor issues and will be fine in a while.
Hao Chen felt a little embarrassed that Tianlu had said it to his face.
The power of Cantian was beyond Haochen's expectations. In less than ten moves, Haochen's physical body and primordial spirit were shattered by Cantian's palm.
Furthermore, Cantian's Daoist techniques were unlike anything he had ever seen before, as if Cantian did not come from the Xuanhuang Realm.
Therefore, he could only forcibly reassemble his physical body in a short period of time, but he could not erase the Dao left behind by Cantian.
What surprised Hao Chen was that Can Tian didn't take the opportunity to kill him, but instead left directly.
"Are you looking down on me? Do you think I'm not worthy of dying at your hands?"
Thinking of this, Hao Chen secretly vowed in his heart: "Can Tian, no matter where you come from, if I stand above the eternal heavens in the future, I will surely settle the score with you for what happened today!!!"
However, Hao Chen quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After all, with his current strength, thinking too much was useless, so he might as well recall his clone first.
With a wave of his hand, Hao Chen sent Wang Hao into a shower of light that merged into his body.
However, when Hao Chen retrieved his clone, he naturally shared the clone's memories and learned about the clone's relationship with Zhan Hu and the others.
Zhan Hu noticed that Hao Chen's gaze was a little strange, and immediately realized that he had been exposed. He panicked and said, "Hao Chen, let me explain. It's not what you think."
"Master? You're quite the player, Zhanhu. If you can satisfy me when we get back, then this matter is settled. Otherwise, you know what will happen."
Suddenly, Zhan Hu heard Hao Chen's voice transmission in his mind, which made Zhan Hu breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Hao Chen was not really angry.
As for Hao Chen's "satisfaction," Zhan Hu naturally knew what he meant, but he alone couldn't satisfy Hao Chen's appetite, so he had to continue to include Oleander in the meal.
"Let's go, go back."
As they were talking, Hao Chen waved his claws to open a space-time tunnel, jumped onto the back of Zhan Hu, and walked in without looking back. Tian Lu and the others quickly followed.
As for Wang's father and mother, who were slumped on the ground, and Wang Teng, their bodies became illusory after Hao Chen left and quickly disappeared.
Not only that, but the entire world became illusory after Haochen left, until it disappeared completely.
