Real Cthulhu Running Game

Just when Liu Xing pricked up his ears and was about to continue listening, he heard Yin En's voice, "It's time for Liu Xing to get up, we are going to have dinner."

Then Liu Xing woke up, opened his eyes and looked at Yin En.

Is this just an ordinary dream?

Looking at Liu Xing who was a little confused, Yin En said: "Liu Xing, you slept for half an hour. Young Master Ying and the others went to pack their things first, and then prepared to go to the cafeteria with us for dinner, and tonight the cafeteria should prepare porridge. Add steamed buns, maybe a tomato and scrambled eggs.”

Liu Xing hit him and said doubtfully: "Tomato, has that thing been passed on? Although there are already some plants from the other side of the sea in the New Dragon Empire, the problem lies in the memory of my character card. Is there no trace of tomatoes? If there were, I think tomatoes should have spread long ago and become one of the most popular vegetables. After all, tomatoes and eggs are a perfect match."

"That's because tomatoes at this time are not called tomatoes, but wolf peaches."

Yin En said with a smile: "In this martial arts module, the name of tomatoes is called wolf peach, because wolves in the wild like to eat tomatoes, so witnesses called this bright red plant peach. After all, the ancients The naming of animals and plants highlights two words - image, so there are some animals with cats or dogs in their names, but they are not felines or canines, and the wolf peach has the word peach in its name, but it is not a peach. .”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and stood up and said: "I see, I have also heard the story of the wolf peach. When the wolf peach was first introduced to Europe, everyone regarded it as an ornamental plant, just like peppers when they first appeared. In China, it also existed as a special ornamental plant. So, these tomatoes were brought by Gongzi Ying? Or maybe these tomatoes originally belonged to the third prince. After all, the third prince also liked to grow ornamental plants. Some flowers and plants.”

"Liu Xing, you are right. These tomatoes do come from the third prince's back garden. Of course, there are corn and peppers in the third prince's back garden, but they are all regarded as ornamental plants. As for the fruits they bear, They were all regarded as by-products and were left to gardeners to deal with in the past, and gardeners had not yet discovered the magic of these plants; but Gongziying is also a good eater, and he also likes to play in the back garden. , so after I heard that wolf peaches can be eaten, I fell in love with the taste of tomatoes, so I brought a lot of tomatoes when I came here this time."

"So after we learned about this incident, we performed a scrambled egg with tomatoes for Gongzi Ying, and then took all the tomatoes from Gongzi Ying's hands and started planting them on a large scale. But the most important thing is The tomatoes in the martial arts module this time grow as fast as if they had been added with golden squid, comparable to bean sprouts; of course, this is also related to the fact that Gongziying brought the entire plant, so after transplanting those tomatoes out of the pot , after only a few days of hard work, it has already produced a lot of fruits, and the taste is quite good, so today we can eat tomatoes and scrambled eggs."

Hearing this, Liu Xing had a guess, "It seems that the mod author decided to open a backdoor for some vegetables after considering our stomachs, allowing them to appear in the New Dragon Empire in advance, and also speeding up the growth cycle. In this way, we can eat more familiar vegetables; as far as I know, many researchers believe that eating has become a big problem for time-travelers after returning to ancient times, because many vegetables are regional specialties and belong to those who have passed through this period. There is no such store in the village, and even now it is similar. When you go to other countries, you will find that many of the vegetables you are familiar with are gone."

"As for many fruits and vegetables that we are very familiar with today, let alone hundreds of years ago, even decades ago they were different. They have been specially cultivated before they became the common fruits and vegetables we have today. look like, so even if we see the original version of some vegetables now, we may not be able to recognize them; but this is also a big advantage for us, right? Because there are some things that only we can recognize, and NPC You may know them but don’t know why, or even ask questions and don’t know.”

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Yin En showed a sinister smile, "For example, this tomato is still popular in a small circle as an ornamental plant. After all, this thing has traveled thousands of miles across the ocean. It comes from the sea, so it is quite valuable, so ordinary people have never seen it, let alone eating it. So we can prepare some tomato juice, which has a very special taste and is very different from other fruits and vegetables. There is an obvious difference, so we can use it as poison to fool others, while most people will instinctively feel two words - fear when facing something completely unknown."

One thing to say, Liu Xing also thinks that the taste of tomatoes is quite special, and there is an obvious acidity, so it should be able to scare people when used as a guest star as "poison".

What's more, on this hot day, tomato juice won't last long, and it will have some rotten smell, so this smell will make people who don't know the truth confirm that there is definitely something wrong with this thing!

Unknowingly, Liu Xing and others had another useful trump card.

After meeting up with Young Master Ying and others, everyone went back to the canteen in Tianshui Town to have dinner. The content of the dinner was just as Yin En said, which was rice porridge, steamed buns with tomatoes and scrambled eggs, because the temperature had already gone up. In summer, these simple meals will make people more appetizing.

"The current logging team has been disbanded, because the wood used to build houses is completely enough, so we asked the logging team to dig a ditch around Tianshui Town so that mountain spring water can flow through the entire Tianshui Town, which has a certain effect. It has a cooling effect and also makes it easier for everyone to wash their hands and so on.”

Yin En was eating steamed buns and said vaguely: "Tianshui Town is now on the right track, but from time to time we find some sneaky people peeking at us. After all, the rain has started to fall. It is said that the Sixth Prince Bian is already recruiting new soldiers and has concentrated his original forces in Yecheng."

Although in theory the tea city under the rule of the sixth prince is closest to the territory of the third prince, it would be very troublesome to set off from the tea city and it would be difficult to use troops on a large scale. Therefore, it is actually more convenient to start from Yecheng. .

And if troops are sent from Yecheng, the first target is Yuancheng, which is less than 20 kilometers away.

Abyss City lives up to its name. There are several deep pools nearby, the most famous of which is probably the Ice Pool, because even in summer, a few pieces of ice will emerge from the deep pool from time to time, and it is at least It is the size of a millstone, so in the summer, many people will come to this deep pool to get cold water. If you are lucky, you can bring back a few pieces of ice.

But apart from these deep pools, Abyss City seems a bit unremarkable, and since there is a certain distance between those deep pools and Abyss City, Abyss City is considered to be without danger, so it is considered a good place. attack target.

"It seems that Uncle Six is ​​preparing to take action against us."

Young Master Ying on the side sighed and said melancholy: "The relationship between Uncle Six and my father is the worst. It was already so bad before that he didn't even intend to act superficially, so now he is ready to take action so quickly. , it was within the expectations of my father and I... Well, now we can be sure that something happened to my grandfather. After all, he was already in his seventies, and he had been sick from time to time in the past few years. But it’s not serious, so it’s not known to outsiders.”

"Of course, my grandfather has been the emperor for so many years, and he also knows that there are many interested people watching his every move, like poisonous scorpions waiting for opportunities, ready to bite you at any time, so even if he is alive Some minor illnesses will also prevent people around them from telling people about them, so as to prevent those who are interested in being disloyal; but my grandfather really couldn't bear it this time, and he suddenly collapsed while eating, and he still continues to this day. Unconscious... If nothing else happens, my uncles will take action in the name of King Qin."

Looking at the sad face of Young Master Ying, Yu Lei on the side couldn't help but said: "A Ying, maybe this is the reason why His Highness the Third Prince arranged for you to come to Tianshui Town, because if you still stay in Liangcheng, it will be very difficult for you to come to Tianshui Town." You may be involved; and let me put it bluntly here, since your father and your uncles can fight against each other, then you and your brothers will do the same, otherwise they would not all choose to go out to work. .”

After being silent for a moment, Young Master Ying nodded and said: "Yes, if I haven't left Liangcheng now, the situation will indeed become more subtle, and I will easily be regarded as a thorn in the side of my brothers. Then they will not Know what they will do to deal with me; after all, at this time, as the only son beside my father, I can gain a lot of reputation even if I do nothing or even do something wrong, so if I My brother will definitely regard me as the biggest stumbling block."

Having said this, Young Master Ying let out a long sigh and his expression became sad, "As far as I can remember, my brothers were very kind to me before they left the palace, but when they were about to leave, When I was young, if I wanted to go to them to play, the result would often be two words - rejection, and I could also feel that they no longer liked me as my younger brother... So is the throne really that important? "

Liu Xing also sighed, shook his head and said: "Sir, if you walk around Tianshui Town these two days, you will find that after the children of some families grow up, they will also start to fight for the family members. They started to fight openly and secretly with a farm cow, because these are the guys who will eat in the future. If you don't fight, you will suffer a loss in the near future; this is like the steamed buns in our hands. If you eat less one bite, Then others can take one more bite, and you won’t be hungry even if you take one less bite, but you will feel a little disadvantaged.”

"What's more, for you, young master, your buns are not steamed buns, but meat buns with thin skin and large fillings. It seems that the whole family can eat a little bit, but the problem lies in the meat filling. But the throne cannot be given to a second person, so at this time, it is the young master, your father who eats meat fillings, and you and your brothers are eating steamed bun skins; in this case, you and your brothers No one will have any big objections, after all, everyone eats about the same amount, it doesn’t matter if it’s more or less, no one suffers too much anyway.”

"But the problem is that your father is already old, and he has begun to intentionally give up the meat filling of the buns. Now that he has the opportunity to eat the meat filling, who will be satisfied with eating the skin of the buns? And the same sentence , there is only one person who can eat the meat filling, so sir, you can imagine that you and your brothers are eating at the same table, and as a result, all the meat bones in the bowl of bone soup are taken away by one of your brothers. And you can only drink leftover soup with other brothers, and occasionally you can eat some side dishes or bone residue, will your mentality change?"

Liu Xing's words made Gongziying fall into silence again.

After a while, Young Master Ying nodded and said: "Yes, even if I have never thought about competing for the position left by my father, when I think of the scene you just mentioned, A Peng, I will feel a little... It’s such a disadvantage. After all, if it’s my father, it’s definitely okay if he eats meat and we drink soup. But if the person who eats meat is replaced by my brother, then I will feel that he shouldn’t eat so much... But Just like A Peng said, no matter how much meat you have, it can only be eaten by one person."

"So the same is true for my father and my uncles. What they want to fight for is not meat and bones, but a whole table of vegetables! I still remember the last time I went to see my grandfather, the table of vegetables was full of vegetables. It was my grandfather who moved the chopsticks first before we could eat, or it was my grandfather who spoke. It seems that the reason why I am able to come here is also my father’s good intentions, because although I don’t have ability to join the fight, but it does not prevent me from becoming a stumbling block in the eyes of my brothers."

At this time, Liu Xing stopped saying anything, because it would be a bit rude to say another word.

Of course, the main reason why Liu Xing said these words was because he wanted Young Master Ying to stay in Tianshui Town with peace of mind, so that Tianshui Town would have an extra guarantee.
