Above the stars

"Where's the gift?" Tang Bandit stretched out his hand to Phoenix.

"You're cheating." Phoenix said angrily.

Both of them gained a lot today. They each shot a pheasant and a red-eyed rabbit, which was considered a close match.

Just when Fenghuang thought the two were about to tie, Bandit Tang stabbed to death a field mouse that had just poked its head out of the cave.

The Tang bandits won!

The phoenix was in a hurry, looking for prey all over the world, pheasants, hares, voles, wood frogs

It was as if the animals in the Hate Mountain had a grudge against her. It was also possible that the two of them had made too much noise just now, and none of them came out, so she didn't catch any of them.

"Why did I cheat?" Tang Bandit asked.

"Are voles considered prey? You can't eat them."

"Who said voles can't be eaten?" Tang Bandit looked at Phoenix with a smile and said, "There are many ways to eat voles. They can be stewed, grilled, and made into sashimi. Peel them and cut them into pieces. Cut the meat into thin slices and put it on the plate, roll it with perilla leaves and eat it..."

"."

Phoenix glanced at the vole with a hole in its head, and felt a strong discomfort in his stomach when he thought of them being cut into pieces and put into people's mouths.

Why does this guy always like to stab people in the head?

"The most delicious thing is roasted field mice. I'll roast one for you when I get back and try it." Tang Bandit said loudly: "If you think it tastes good, you will lose this competition. How about it?"

Phoenix was then satisfied and said, "Deal."

I thought to myself, even if it tastes good, I can’t say it tastes good.

Want to beat me? no way.

Hey, how could I be so girly?

Only her closest friends would she talk to them so casually.

Could it be that Tang Bandit is already his friend?

impossible? It's only been a few days. She is not someone who can make friends with others easily.

Fenghuang stared at Bandit Tang in surprise. Bandit Tang was puzzled by her look and asked: "Are you attracted by my beauty again? I tell you, don't think that you can do whatever you want to me in the wilderness here. Even if my body can’t resist, my heart will never give in to you.”

"Tang Bandit, why are you so thick-skinned?"

"It's not that I have thick skin, it's that I haven't washed my face for a long time." Tang Bandit explained with a serious look on his face, "The outer layer is not shame, it's gray."

"."

Seeing Tang Bandit's sly smile, she knew that she had been deceived by him again.

That doesn’t mean he is gray, he is shameless.

The two of them carried the prey home. The old man smiled from ear to ear when he saw today's harvest. He trotted to greet them and asked, "Why did you catch so many today?"

"Phoenix and I competed to see who played more, so both of us played more," Tang Bandi said.

Only then did the old man glance at Phoenix with satisfaction. His expression was as if you were finally no longer a waste of "idle food". He praised and said: "This is good, this is good. Didn't I say that only when there is competition?" Every time I make you and Xiaopang go hunting together, I want you both to make progress together. As a result, not only do you two not make progress, you also come back empty-handed."

"Can you blame me?" Tang Bandit said angrily: "It's not like you don't know Xiaopang's physique. He runs like a hill. Before we arrived, all the animals had finished running."

The fat man who was smashing rocks had an honest smile on his face. He knew that Tang Bandit was telling the truth. Whenever he went hunting with his eldest brother, there was a high probability that he would come back empty-handed that day.

So later on, the old man only let Bandit Tang go out hunting, while he was left at home to throw stones.

Fenghuang didn't want to make Fatty feel uncomfortable, so he comforted him and said, "Little Fatty, it's okay. From now on, I will go hunting with Tang Bandit, and you can just smash rocks at home. If you specialize in the art, you will be good at smashing rocks."

As he spoke, he realized that something was not quite right about what he said.

What does it mean to praise someone for being good at stoning? What's the difference between praising a chubby guy and saying, chubby guy, you're really fat?

"Thank you." Xiaopang didn't take it seriously and smiled shyly at Phoenix.

Phoenix felt like he was healed again. He was such a kind child.

After the Tang bandit packed up the prey, he said to Phoenix: "I will roast the field mouse for you. If you eat it once, you will want to eat it a second time. After eating it a second time, you will want to eat it a third time."

"I don't believe it." Phoenix curled his lips.

On the new star, what kind of delicacies and alien monsters have not eaten? Would this lady like to eat a roasted roe vole?

The Tang bandit found a large stove, threw a few flammable charcoal blocks into it, lit it, and waited for it to burn. Skin the vole and remove its internal organs. Use two tamarisk skewers as thick as chopsticks to pass through the middle, then place them on the fire and spin them in circles.

Soon, the vole, which was as big as a basketball, began to smoke, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of meat.

Phoenix was watching and saw the vole whose skin was starting to turn brown, and thought, maybe this thing is really delicious?

The vole's skin became more and more yellow, because it was too rich in oil, and finally turned into a layer of golden yellow. Phoenix strengthened this idea.

After all, she had begun to swallow secretly.

Tang Bandit heard Phoenix's stomach growling and knew that she hadn't had dinner yet. I smelled the scent of field mice again, so my body had a natural reaction.

The field mouse meat was already coated with a layer of salt when it was marinated. When it was cooked, it was sprinkled with a layer of pepper and its own secret spices. Then he tore off a large piece of field mouse leg and handed it to Phoenix, saying, "You Try it. Voles run very fast and their leg muscles are the most developed. This piece of meat is the most fragrant and tender, and very delicious.”

Phoenix was not polite, took the vole's leg and took a bite.

Spicy and fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"It's delicious!" Phoenix couldn't help but praise.

"You lost!" Tang Bandit looked at Phoenix with a smile and said.

Only then did Phoenix remember the bet. He had clearly made a plan, and even if it was delicious, he would never say it was delicious. However, he accidentally shouted it out.

Of course, it was impossible for Fenghuang to express this little calculation in her heart. She glanced at Tang Bandit proudly and said, "If you lose, you lose. Isn't it just a small gift? I do what I say. When we arrive, we will definitely fulfill our promise.”

"Then I'll be relieved." Tang Bandi said.

The little fat man smelled the scent of the field mouse, moved his index finger, dropped the hammer in his hand and ran over, pleading: "Brother, give me a leg too."

"One leg isn't enough for you." Tang Bandit put the vole on the tray and cut it in half with a meat cleaver.

He handed half of the field mouse to Xiaopang and said, "Take it and eat it."

"Thank you, brother." Little Fatty's eyes shone brightly, and he squatted on the ground with half a vole in his hands and began to chew on it.

"Two bastards, they don't know how to leave any for me, no matter how big or small they are." The old man scolded.

Tang Bandit cut the remaining half of the field mouse into three parts, gave one to the old man, kept one for himself, and gave another to Phoenix. This snacker had finished chewing the leg of the vole just now and was looking over at it eagerly.

"This is not enough to fill the gap between teeth." The old man took his share and said with a look of disgust.

Phoenix still retained the good habit of "respecting the old and loving the young" in Xinxing. He handed over the vole meat in his hand and said, "Uncle, you can eat my share."

When he first came here, he was very polite and called him "sir". Now that he eats and lives in other people's homes, the relationship between them has become much closer, so he calls the old man "uncle" as a chubby friend of Tang Bandit.

"Don't give it to him." Bandit Tang intercepted in the middle and said, "There is still a pot of porridge cooking in the kitchen. If he is not full, he can drink porridge. The elderly cannot eat so much meat, otherwise they will suffer from indigestion at night."

"Oh!" Phoenix nodded and took back the vole meat in his hand.

They also say this on Xinxing, and many elderly people maintain their health in this way. The same goes for her father, who dares not eat too much meat every night for fear of poor digestion and poor sleep.

"You brat, you forgot about your father after you got a wife. You are such a heartless thing." The old man scolded angrily.

"Let's go eat there and ignore him." Tang Bandit said to Fenghuang, not even bothering to refute the old man's words.

He couldn't bear to refute.

"When you have a wife, you forget about your father"...

What does this mean? It means you have a wife.

He didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the old man scolding him like this, he actually felt quite happy.

Just like those students who are just starting to fall in love, they hate others spreading rumors about them, but when someone does spread the rumors, they feel a sweet and sour feeling of happiness.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

"Who is it?" Tang Bandit asked aloud.

"Fire Shrine. Open the door." Someone shouted at the door.

Tang Bandit's eyes were slightly stern, and the old man's eyes were full of murderous intent. The little fat man had already rushed over and picked up the hammer on the ground.

Of course, I didn’t want to throw away the field mouse in my hand.

Because I was so nervous, I actually took a big bite and chewed it in my mouth.

Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit with panic on her face. She didn't expect the people from the Flame Shrine to come to the door so quickly.

She could fight her way out, but she was worried that it would implicate Tang Bandit Xiaopang and others.

However, even if he fights out, where will he escape to?

Do you still want an escape pod? Without the escape cabin's taxiing track, how could his family find him?

For a moment, my heart was in confusion.

Tang Bandit patted her shoulder and signaled Fenghuang not to be nervous.

Then he pointed to the inner room and asked her to go in and hide for a while.

After Fenghuang left, Bandit Tang made a gesture, telling the old man and Xiaopang to put down their guard. If you two are so murderous, doesn't it mean that there is no silver in this place?

Calm down!

Calm down!

Be elegant and calm at all times!

Then, Bandit Tang bit off a large piece of vole meat and chewed it in his mouth. He casually walked over, opened the door, and asked aloud, "What's going on?"

A group of gray robes stood at the door. When they saw a young man opening the door, they asked, "How many people are there in your family? Have any strangers been to your home?"

"There are three people in our family. My father and my brother." Tang Bandi pointed at the old man and the little fat man and said, "There are no strangers in our family, we are all our own people. How can we dare to let strangers in these days?"

"You get what you ask, how can there be so much nonsense?" a gray robe scolded dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, Lord Divine Envoy is right." Tang Bandit immediately changed his face to a flattering smile.

"Have you seen any strangers?"

"Stranger?" Tang Bandit thought for a moment and said, "This is a gathering area, and you can see strangers coming every day."

"Is there any that you remember particularly deeply?"

"Yes, yes, there was a man who was blind in one eye and had a blindfold on the other eye. It looked scary. There was also a man who came with a monkey standing on his shoulder."

"Go in and search." The gray-robed leader gave the order.

He smelled the aroma of meat. The brothers were still working hungry, but these bastards were actually eating barbecue. Is there any heavenly principle?

The Flame God would not agree to this kind of thing. His old man will never allow his followers to go hungry.

"Yes!" Several men in gray robes wanted to break in. They also wanted to eat barbecue.

Tang Bandi glanced at them and understood what they were thinking.

He ran over and snatched the field mouse meat from the hands of the little fat man and the old man, and then handed it to the gray-robed leader in front of him along with what he had in his own hand, and said: "Master God has worked hard, must he be starving? First, right? Eat something to replenish your body.”

The little fat man looked aggrieved and stared at the piece of barbecue reluctantly.

The gray-robed leader was very satisfied with Tang Bandit's performance. He took a big bite of the field mouse meat and chewed it until his mouth was full of oil. He pointed at Tang Bandit and said, "This kid is quite sensible. I can't eat enough by myself. I still can't." There are these brothers”

"Understood. Understood." Tang Bandit opened the door and said with a smile: "Everyone, please come in, I will cook barbecue for you. I don't dare to brag about anything else, but my barbecue is the best in Henshan Gathering Area. , coupled with my special spicy sauce. I guarantee that all adults will enjoy it."

"Okay. Then let my brothers have a taste of your craftsmanship." The gray-robed leader said with a smile, and broke into the small courtyard with several of his brothers.

Tang Bandi winked at Fatty and said: "Little Fatty, go and bring out all the meat from home. Lord God is coming to our house as a guest. This is the blessing we have earned over several lifetimes, so we have to entertain him." "

Xiaopang understood, and immediately ran over and moved out the big tank where the meat was stored at home, and said, "Brother, they have all been moved here."

Tang Bandit looked into the tank and saw half a rabbit and one pheasant.

Tang Bandit was relieved. Xiaopang was just fat, but not stupid.

"My lords, all the meat in the house is here." Tang Bandi pointed at the big vat and said, "I'm here to grill the meat for you, and I'll make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable meal."

"Stop talking nonsense and bake it quickly. When it's done, we'll give you a lot of rewards."

"It's just that after searching for a whole day and a night, I'm almost hungry."

"Damn, where can I find the airbending realm? How do we know what an airbending master looks like? You have to take a photo, right? Just draw a sketch if you don't have a photo. There's nothing, how can you find it?"

"Monkey, do you want to die? Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I'm just kidding, I just said that casually. Brothers, you have to keep it a secret for me. I still have a bottle of old wine stored there. When the time comes, I'll treat the brothers to a drink."

"Damn monkey, you don't even say a word about the good wine? You can't deceive the brothers this time, otherwise, hehe."

"No, no, absolutely not"

——

Tang Bandit was busy cutting meat, cutting rabbits and pheasants into small pieces for barbecue.

If you put it whole and bake it, will it take years and months to be cooked?

He wanted to send these plague gods away quickly, but he really didn't want them to stay at home for a second longer.

You know, there is an extraterrestrial visitor hiding inside. If they discover it, it will be another accident.

Tang Bandit was very angry. Ever since this woman came, he had been on tenterhooks every day. It was so exciting.

No, this energy cannot be wasted.

Need more money!

While Bandit Tang was working, he eavesdropped on the chats of the gray robes.

The moment he heard the name of the Flame Shrine, he was already sure that these people came to him because of the death of the black robe.

He knew that the Flame Shrine would go to war because of this matter, but he didn't expect that they would choose the stupidest way.

The Henshan gathering area is so big and there are so many people in the gathering area. What is the difference between this nationwide search method and finding a needle in a haystack?

What made Tang Bandi depressed was that they unexpectedly came to his door.

Why are they roasting field mice? Why are they roasting field mice? Would it be better if baked sweet potatoes?

If we cook a pot of papaya porridge as usual, these gray robes must not have the intention to stay for dinner, right?

"Boss, do you want to take a look around?" A gray-robed man suddenly said to the gray-robed leader.

Tang Bandit's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Xiaopang wanted to touch the hammer again, but the old man quietly pulled him away, and then he stopped this dangerous action.

"It's okay to take a look." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "It's just two shabby houses. You can search everywhere. If you can't find anyone, it can prove our innocence. Don't you think so?"

"Then you go and have a look." The gray-robed leader was chewing on a field mouse's leg. He was not enthusiastic about this kind of thing, but since one of his brothers had brought it up, he would go around for a while to fulfill his official duties. In this case, even if something goes wrong in the future, it will not be your fault.

After all, it is impossible for him to take the blame.

The man in gray robe had no choice but to take over the job. After glancing at several rooms, he ran back to deliver the assignment and said, "Boss, I didn't see anyone."

"Isn't this an obvious thing? Just this family, the old, the young, the young, and a silly little fat guy, how can they look like masters in the air control realm?" The gray-robed leader laughed, his eyes showing. The radiance of wisdom. "Besides, if there really is an air-bending master hiding here, how many of us are still alive? His heads would have been chopped off long ago."

"The boss is wise."

"Brother Long has a sharp gaze, no wonder you can be the captain."

"What is a captain? The boss will soon be an adjutant. I heard that Adjutant Chen Hu is going to be promoted to black robe. Doesn't the vacant adjutant position belong to the boss?"

"Then let's congratulate the boss in advance!"

"It's still early, it's early!" The gray-robed leader waved his hands extremely modestly and said: "Several captains are competing for this position, but you also know that Adjutant Chen Hu and I are brothers. He has been promoted to black robe, and he can Don’t you promote your own brothers?”

"That is."

"Of course, we still have to make some achievements. If we can find the guy who killed the envoy next to us, it will be safe." The gray-robed leader said seriously.

"Don't worry, boss. Brothers will definitely help you find the murderer."

"Yes, let's set off after the barbecue."

"Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to dig him out."

"What the hell, do you think airbending masters are field mice? They like to dig into caves?"

While the group of gray robes were chatting and spanking, Bandit Tang had already roasted rabbits and pheasants.

First, he brought a large bunch to the gray-robed leader and said, "The ones just baked are the most delicious. Sir, how do you like it first? If you think the taste is not strong enough, I will add some chili powder for you."

"Young man, he will do something good." The gray-robed leader became more and more satisfied with Tang Bandit. He actually raised his noble right hand covered with grease and patted Tang Bandit's shoulder and asked, "How old are you?"

"14." Tang Bandit said.

Shamelessly, I say one and a half years younger. After all, the younger you are, the less able you are to control your energy, right?

"I see you are quite clever. Are you interested in coming to our Flame Shrine?" The gray-robed leader actually took the initiative to offer an olive branch to Tang Bandit.

Tang Bandit showed an incredible expression on his face and asked excitedly: "Sir, are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me?"

"You brat, how can you talk? Where is our Flame Shrine? Who is our boss? Can he talk to you?"

"That's right, let me tell you, don't be ignorant of your blessings. When we wanted to enter the Flame Shrine, we had to ask grandfather and grandma everywhere to find middlemen for introductions."

"Our brother Long is the captain and will soon be the adjutant. With him protecting you, you will be able to eat well and drink hot food in the Flame Shrine. Boy, just wait for the beauty."

——

After being introduced by the people around him, Tang Bandi realized that this opportunity was "rare", and he was moved to tears and said: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Our whole family thanks you for eating meat. Please eat more meat." "

The old man also came over to say kind words and thanked the gray-robed leader for his regard for Tang Bandit.

The gray-robed leader was lifted up to the sky, and the barbecue in his hand became more and more delicious.

Tang Bandit looked at the gray-robed leader and said humbly: "Sir, I just heard that you are looking for someone. Who are you looking for? I am very familiar with this area, and maybe I can be of some help."

"You're a little brat, how can you help?" The gray-robed leader obviously didn't believe Tang Bandit could really help, but he was very satisfied with his enthusiastic and proactive attitude. "A master like that can stab you to death with one finger. You'd better live well, and when you get to our shrine, you can be responsible for grilling meat for me."

"Yes, yes, listen to your Majesty. Listen to your Majesty." Tang Bandit smiled sincerely.

The leader in gray robe finished the chicken skewers in his hand and said hello: "Okay, okay, brothers, eat quickly. After we are full, we will continue to work. There are still many families who have not touched the skewers."

"Yes, sir." The gray robes began to devour the food.

The gray-robed leader looked back at Tang Bandit and asked, "What's your name?"

"Tang Bandit." Tang Bandit said.

"Tang Bandit, what a good name." The gray-robed leader nodded, looked at the old man, and said: "Your father seems to be a fool who can't hit a fart with three sticks. I didn't expect that he could give you such a good name. name."

"It was taken from the gentleman in the village. He is literate." Tang Bandit said.

"No wonder." The gray-robed leader then took it for granted and said to the younger brother beside him: "Put a flame talisman on his door. From now on, he will be one of our own, and brothers from other teams will not come to investigate."

"yes, Sir."

So a younger brother took out a talisman with a flame pattern from his pocket and slapped it on the door.

In this way, other Flame Shrine teams or predator organizations will not come to check again when they see the flame talisman at the door.

What else are you looking for?

Tang Bandit was even more grateful and kept sending his gray-robed brothers all the way away. He was so loyal that he wished he could fight with the gray-robed leader right there and then through life and death.

"Brother, come and play when you have time!" Bandit Tang shouted with his voice choked up.

(ps: I’m too lazy to break it down, so I’ll update it two chapters at a time.

In addition, everyone can throw any tickets at will, Lao Liu is as easy to pass as Tang Bandits.

Brother, come and play when you have time! (choking)
