About the story of a brave man being a potato for a thousand years and then the world was destroyed

However, Liu Ji was not in a hurry. In his opinion, it was natural to start from the basics.

And when he was learning, he gradually found that this language used for magic spells was very wonderful. As long as he could repeatedly pronounce its correct syllables, he would naturally begin to understand the meaning behind the syllables.

And the more he read it repeatedly, the deeper his understanding would be.

After realizing this, he also roughly understood why Ya Yin wanted to teach him magic spells.

Maybe the other party wanted to communicate with him in this way.

It was just that I always felt that it was quite strange that Ya Yin was willing to teach him magic just to talk to him, a person he had never met.

Maybe she had other considerations, but at this moment, the language was not fluent, and Liu Ji was curious and couldn't ask.

While learning the spell, suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the woods not far away.

The two looked up and saw that the young man with a long sword came back carrying a black bear as big as an elephant.

He looked at Liu Ji and Ya Yin who were sitting in a row, and then looked around, and asked: "Ya Yin, where is Ao Sa? Didn't I ask him to watch over you?"

"I asked him to cut trees," Ya Yin said, looking at the giant bear on the shoulder of the young man with a long knife, "It's a good harvest, Mo Wente, do you need me to help you freeze it?"

"Well, wait a minute, I'll peel the skin first, and then cut off a claw," said the young man with a long knife called Mo Wente, and found an open piece of grass, threw the giant bear to the ground with a bang, swung the long knife, and began to peel the skin with nimble hands and feet.

Liu Ji stared at the scene in front of him in amazement.

How heavy is such a big bear?

One ton?

Or two tons?

Damn it, this brother looks quite thin, how can he be so strong?

Are all the people in this world so awesome?

Or are the people he met actually all the awesome ones?

Liu Ji suddenly felt lucky that the three people he met looked pretty good. If he, an innocent young man with no power, really ran into a few murderous perverts, he might be in trouble.

Hmm...

But he shouldn't be so unlucky to run into such people.

Liu Ji, whose thinking inertia was still stuck in his previous life, subconsciously believed that there were still the majority of good people in this world.

——

Although this unlucky black bear was very big, it didn't seem to be a difficult thing for Mo Wente, who could easily turn this giant bear over and over, to peel off its skin completely.

Of course, it can be seen that he should be an expert in skinning.

It's just that the skinned bear corpse looked a little scary. Fortunately, Liu Ji used to eat a spicy hot pot with live rabbits killed on the spot. He had seen many skinned rabbits. Looking at the bear corpse, as long as he thought it was a large rabbit, he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

"Such a large piece of leather should be able to be used as a carpet for our new home. We can sleep on it directly when the time comes, and we don't have to find cypress branches to make the bed," Mowente spread the peeled bear skin on the grass, occupying a large area, "I'll leave the cleaning and tanning to you, Yayin."

"Well, it's simple," Yayin said, picking up the magic wand, and gently paused. Several round white little furry monsters appeared out of thin air, fell to the ground with a pop, and then ran towards the bear skin with a clatter. One of them raised a horn and ran towards the river with the bear skin.

Mowente looked at the backs of the little furry monsters, clasped his hands, and murmured: "Well, it's convenient to have a familiar."

"Why, you want it? Help me prepare the materials for two and I'll give you one," Yayin said.

"Forget it, I'm overwhelmed by the materials," said Mowente, and chopped off a huge bear paw with a knife. He shook off the blood on the long knife and said, "I have my knife."

"Well, it's good, it suits you very well, so please stand aside," Yayin stood up and waved her staff to the side.

Mowente put away the knife, picked up the bear paw he had just chopped off, and walked aside obediently.

Liu Ji's hands were still tied to the pole, so he could only sit there, doing pronunciation exercises while looking at the two curiously.

After Mowente retreated far away, Yayin raised her staff.

Long and complicated spells were recited from her mouth, and invisible energy flowed around her body, carrying her hair and robes together.

Liu Ji shivered. Until just now, it still felt like summer here, but in just a moment, he felt as if winter had come.

"Won't I catch a cold with such intense alternations of cold and heat..." He shrank and thought to himself.

However, the next moment, the feeling of cold suddenly disappeared. Looking at Ya Yin again, she had put down her staff, straightened her robe, and sat back next to Liu Ji.

The huge bear corpse in the distance was now covered with a thin layer of white frost, and even ice crystals appeared on the grass near it. Obviously, just in a moment, the temperature of the entire bear corpse dropped below zero degrees.

"Good guy, quick freezing to keep fresh," Liu Ji exclaimed.

He was just thinking that it would be a pity if such a big bear was not eaten and went bad.

Hmm... I just don't know if they will share the food with him?

He glanced at Mo Wente who was carrying the bear paw and found that he was also looking at him.

Then, Mo Wente smiled at him, cut a piece of bloody meat from the bear paw, walked over, handed it to him, and looked at him expectantly.

Liu Ji looked at the raw meat in his hand, and then at Mo Wente, with a confused face.

What does this mean?

People in your world don't eat so fresh, do they?

10. Don't ask, just ask well-done

Liu Ji has never eaten raw meat in his life.

As a person from an ordinary Chinese family who grew up eating in the cafeteria, in Liu Ji's recipe, meat must be cooked.

Don't tell him about medium-rare or seven-well, he also eats well-done steak.

I don't know, it doesn't exist. For him, if the well-done steak in this steakhouse is not delicious, he will only choose not to come next time, and he will not order medium-rare.

Although this is a different world, he doesn't plan to eat bear paw meat raw.

Coincidentally, he is not a person who likes to eat and drink for free. After some hard work, he successfully asked Ya Yin for some kitchen utensils.

Although it was actually just a pot, a knife, a cutting board, a few wooden bowls, and a small bag of salt.

Although it was simple, it was enough to cook a meal.

As for the stove, fortunately he used to like watching videos of Hua Nong. As long as someone could help light the fire, it was not a problem to build a simple stone stove.

Watching Liu Ji busying himself by the fire, Mo Wente and Ya Yin looked at each other.

"Tell me the truth, did you just think he was a wild man who would eat raw meat?" Ya Yin asked speechlessly.

"Uh, aha," Mo Wente spread his hands, "After all, he can't even speak, can he?"

"I said, he is not speechless, but the language is not fluent," Ya Yin sighed, "When we first met, he tried to communicate with us in at least four or five languages. I remember you only know Dragon Language and Common Language, right?"

"Uh... is that so? It seems that I was wrong," Mo Wente touched his chin.

"Forget it, don't do this next time, it's really rude," Yain said, "Luckily he doesn't seem to care."

"I know, but I wanted to say it before," Mo Wente folded his arms and said with a subtle expression, "Are you a little too concerned about this potato man of unknown origin?"

"I should have said that we need a guide," Yain said with a frown.

"Why does it have to be him? Shouldn't we try to find someone else?" said Mowente. "Maybe there will be someone who knows our language here, and you want to teach him magic just for this. Don't you think this reason is a bit far-fetched?"

"So, do you mean we should leave here and look for someone else somewhere else?" Yain looked at Mowente with a subtle expression, "It seems I was wrong? I thought you were the one who wanted to stay here and wait for Callidora the most."

"No, that's right, but..." Mowente was speechless for a moment, scratching his bangs anxiously, "I just feel that for such a stranger with unknown origins, you won't teach him magic, right?"

"What? Can he beat you or me if he teaches him to make fireballs?" Yain raised her eyebrows.

"That's not what I mean," said Mowente, "I just think, aren't you afraid that he has ulterior motives?"

"You should know that I'm a demon spirit," Yain said with a frown.

"You are only half a demon spirit, your perception talent is not complete," said Mo Wente, "otherwise your teacher would not..."

"Ah?"

The cold question interrupted Mo Wente's words, and the sudden drop in temperature seemed to be the arrival of winter.

Liu Ji, who had just finished cooking, shivered immediately. When he turned around, he saw Ya Yin's robe fluttering, and the flowers and plants under his feet were frozen into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No, sorry, I don't mean that," Mo Wente took a step back, "I just slipped my tongue, you know..."

"Yes, I know very well," Ya Yin said, and breathed from between her teeth.

The next moment, the low temperature just now disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared, and the ice crystals on the flowers and plants under Ya Yin's feet began to slowly dissipate.

She was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mo Wente, you have to understand that I am different from you..."

"No, we are not different," Mo Wente shook his head.

"No, you still have Kalidora," Yayin smiled weakly, "and what about me? I have nothing."

"You..." Mowente opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start.

"So, don't bother me, okay?" Yayin sighed softly, "I just want to hide myself in my memories, that's all, okay?"

Mowente was silent for a while, and said, "I'll go to the border to take a look."

After that, he walked straight into the forest, and his figure disappeared in the depths of the dense forest.

——

Looking at Mowente going away, Liu Ji was a little confused.

He didn't understand a word and really couldn't figure out what happened. He just knew that the two seemed to have a quarrel, and then Mowente left.

It can't be a quarrel, right?

This...it should have nothing to do with him, right?

He didn't know, and he couldn't ask. He looked back at Yayin and found that she was writing and drawing in a small notebook again...

It seems that it has nothing to do with him.

In this case, he didn't think much about it.

He hadn't eaten meat for many years. He wasn't hungry, but he was really greedy.

After setting up the stove and cutting the bear meat into small pieces, Liu Ji gestured to Ya Yin to make a pot of water.

After the water boiled, he put the bear meat into the pot and blanched it, skimmed off the floating residue and scooped it out.

While drying the blanched meat, Liu Ji scooped out a large bowl of soup from the pot for later use.

As for the remaining water, just pour it out directly.

Since there was no spatula, Liu Ji went to pick up a few small branches of uniform thickness nearby, washed them and used them as chopsticks.

Then, he threw the fat that had been cut off and set aside into the pot, stir-fried it with branches and chopsticks, and after the oil was refined, he took out the oil residue.

At this time, he put in the chopped bear meat, stir-fried it until it changed color, then added water and covered it, boiled it over high heat, then simmered it over medium heat, and added some salt after it was cooked, and the white-roasted bear meat was ready.

Well, white-roasted.

There was no way, Liu Ji also wanted to braise it, but the conditions did not allow it.

After a slight taste, the smell of mutton was a bit strong, but the flaws did not outweigh the merits. Although it was impossible to expect to make the complex aroma of modern dishes that relied on multiple spices, the pure meat aroma was still sufficient.

At least for Liu Ji, who hadn't eaten meat for many years, this taste was already great.

Hmm...

It tasted great...

And there was an inexplicable impulse...

Liu Ji realized what this impulse was almost instantly.

He turned around and looked at Ya Yin behind him, swallowed his saliva, and forced the impulse back.

No, this matter is not suitable for experimenting now, let's wait until the dead of night.

There is a lot of meat in a whole bear paw, enough for a full pot.

Liu Ji scooped two full bowls of meat and covered the pot.

There was still half a pot in the pot, which should be enough for the two brothers to come back and eat.

"Here," Liu Ji walked to Ya Yin and handed her one of the bowls.

Ya Yin looked up at him, said a short word, then put away the notebook and took the bowl.

"The pronunciation just now should mean thank you?" Liu Ji thought so, holding the bowl and sitting next to Ya Yin, habitually took two branches and handed it over.
