I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

After prying open the door, Lu Juan saw that there were two people standing in the room, a man and a woman, wearing common clothes, with numb expressions. Since Lu Juan came in, they had been staring at him vigilantly.

"Hello, I want to ask how to get to Dry Water Town?"

Lu Lian briefly glanced around the house. Although it is the largest house in the village, it still looks cramped. Apart from a wooden bed, a table, two chairs, a kitchen counter, and a cabinet, there is nothing decent. .

"Over Dry Water Town, go straight along the road."

The man replied with a gloomy face. He was a little scared and a little angry, and pointed to the road.

"I don't think you welcome us very much. Is it because we are going to Dry Water Town?"

Lu Jian asked again, and at the same time approached the kitchen counter and looked at the things on it.

Sun-dried fish, flour, rice, etc.

"Dry water town, unlucky"

The man hesitated to speak, and he saw Lu Jian pick up the salted fish hanging in front of the kitchen counter.

"I'm a little hungry now, can I have some of your dried salted fish? I see that you have hung a lot of them here. You can't keep this kind of dried fish for too long. If you don't eat it now, you may have a stomachache if it breaks later. That's it. I am here, and I have fate with you, why don't I help you take some salted fish away, which is considered a good deed."

With that said, Lu Jian took down three of the dried salted fish and stuffed them into the bag.

""

The man looked at the crowbar in Lu Jian's hand, and hesitated to speak.

"The garlic will germinate if you don't eat it. The onions won't last long. There's also salt. It's been foggy recently and it's all damp. For your health, I'll help you get rid of it."

Lu Jian took some garlic and onions, kelp, a handful of salt, and finally some rice.

"By the way, do you know the Black Queen Mother?"

He skillfully put the ingredients into the bag, and asked casually.

Hearing this word, the expressions on the faces of the men and women finally changed, from the insensitive and rigid to panic, fear, and awe.

"Don't dare to know, dare not know"

The man muttered, and took a few steps back.

"Don't dare to know? Does that mean you know?"

Lu Jian took two steps forward.

"I have no idea I have no idea"

The woman blocked her ears, as if she would be hurt just by hearing the word.

"Do you know anything about the Hai family? I heard that there are strange noises in their yard at night?"

Lu Juan pressed on step by step.

"The Hai family is, the Hai family is the messenger of the gods, I dare not know, I dare not know"

the man said in awe.

"It does seem to have a deep impact."

Lu Jian muttered to himself.

Now that he had already taken the dried salted fish, he stopped embarrassing the man, walked out of the house, and closed the door for them intimately.

"Did you find anything?"

Drizzt didn't know what happened in the house, so he asked.

“The quality of the salted fish is good.”

Lu Jian put the three dried salted fish on the carriage, turned over and got on the carriage.

"You snatched it from someone else's house?"

Drizzt glanced at Lu Jian's three dried salted fish.

"No, I took it. I didn't threaten them. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Lu Jian explained.

"Are you really going to eat these?"

Making the carriage move, Drizzt asked in bewilderment.

When he is in a quiet place, he usually tries to avoid eating local food. On the one hand, he prevents the food from having any serious things, and on the other hand, most of the local food tastes hard to describe.

"That's right, otherwise what would I do with these, you have really weird problems."

Lu Yi replied as a matter of course, and then looked at the village behind him.

"The people here must know about the Black Queen Mother, and the Hai family probably has something weird, but they dare not say it, probably because the Hai family controls this area."

"That task is a bit difficult."

Drizzt thought.

The task is to survive until the end of the wedding, and also to witness the wedding,

It means that you can't hide outside Dry Water Town until the time expires, and at the wedding, you will probably be surrounded by people from Dry Water Town.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Jian pointed to the dried salted fish beside him.

"I will not eat"

Drizzt blushed.

"Then I'll eat it myself."

He took out a camping grill, some charcoal, a pot, and mineral water from his bag.

The grill is suspended in the air and can be placed directly on the carriage. After lighting the fire, Lu Yi heated up the pot and poured oil.

Throw the dried salted fish cut into small pieces into the hot oil and fry, and soon, a burst of fragrance spreads out.

The dried salted fish of the villagers is not the kind that is completely air-dried, but still has some umami taste. As long as it is heated at a high temperature, it will immediately emit that unique seafood flavor.

He put down the onion and garlic and sautéed until fragrant, then added water.

Finally put rice, sliced ​​kelp, cover the pot, and wait.

"You seem to be very skilled?"

Drizzt looked at Lu Trip with strange eyes.

It’s fine if it’s the first time you come to the Quiet Land. If you can come to a foreign land that is difficult to erode, you must be a veteran of at least two missions. Why didn’t Lu Lian bring all kinds of props for survival, but the kitchen utensils are so complete?

"Average."

While Lu Jian was waiting, he saw that the surrounding trees became thinner, the night wind began to grow stronger, and the humidity in the air became greater, and the smell of the sea became stronger.

You can even hear the faint sound of the waves.

The sea breeze blew the leaves and made rustling sounds, which seemed inexplicably strange on the empty and quiet road.

grunt grunt

Lu Jian's pot made a sound of bubbling, and he opened the lid.

The rice is cooked into porridge, together with salted fish and kelp, it looks like the food of primitive people, it doesn’t look like much, but the smell is very strong, the salty and fresh smell penetrates into the nose, even Drizzt can’t stand it He swallowed his saliva.

Lu Jian picked up the spoon, filled some porridge with salted fish and kelp, and put it in his mouth.

The umami taste locked by drying is stimulated at high temperature, and mixed with rice, it has an extraordinary taste. The fish is delicate, the kelp is crispy, the rice is soft and glutinous, and the spicy aroma of onion and garlic are combined into a A pot of warm porridge.

"It's delicious."

As long as the ingredients are good enough, it is delicious to stew directly.

Lu Yi gulped down the porridge and gnawed on the salted fish, while Drizzt, who was on the side, was a little tangled up watching this scene.

"You really don't want to eat?"

Seeing his struggle, Lu Jian took out a spare bowl.

"I'll just eat a little bit, a little bit."

Drizzt felt as if he had been led astray by this man.

But when he picked up the bowl, drank the salted fish porridge, and let the taste of the sea soak his tongue, Drizzt felt that it would be good to eat something like this.

He had just finished eating the salted fish porridge, put down the bowl, and saw that the front suddenly opened up, the trees disappeared, and the shadows of buildings lay across the night.

They have arrived in Dry Water Town.
