Nie Yuan has no hostility towards strangers.

It seems that the other party does not have a place to eat, and they also need to inquire about what happened nearby.

Nie Yuan didn't answer, just pouted towards the pot, saying please feel free.

After two minutes.

thump, thump~

The processed fish is put into the pot.

During the boiling soup, the fish meat began to turn white in a blink of an eye, and the taste of the broth became more intense and tangy.

The young man didn't even see the outside world, he just sat down with his knees crossed, and while heating the fire, he smiled:

"Thank you for your generosity, friends from afar."

"It does not matter."

Nie Yuan shook his head and said, "Everyone has a problem when they go out. By the way, my friend, what's your name? Are you a resident of this town?"

"Yes."

The young man responded, "I grew up in this town, my name is Walter, and it's nice to meet you."

Hearing this, Nie Yuan said in surprise: "Since he is a resident of the town, why don't he go home to cook?"

Walter smiled bitterly: "My house is very dilapidated, and the things in it have been useless for a long time, and they are basically broken."

Nie Yuan was even more puzzled, and continued to ask, "Did something happen?"

Walter thought for a while, and said, "To tell you the truth, although I grew up here, I was fooled a few years ago to go to Jonas Harbor and go to sea as a crew member in order to do something.

In the end, I didn't make any money, and I almost lost my life. It took a lot of effort to finally return to my hometown a few days ago.

When I came back, I saw that my small house was even more broken, and it was basically uninhabitable. These two days I used the water developed by running a boat, and went to the river to pick up a few fish to eat. "

"That's it."

Nie Yuan responded and said again: "No wonder you haven't gotten up from the river for a while, right?"

"Haha, let's make you laugh, picking up fish, it's inevitable that you won't get wet and dirty, and I hope you don't dislike it."

"I don't think so. I just wanted to ask if you noticed anything wrong when you were around here recently."

"Something wrong?"

Walter was stunned for a moment, then said, "What do you mean?"

Nie Yuan found a random reason and said, "When we were passing by the town just now, we heard a few townspeople say that when night falls, we often hear movement in the jungle, as if a pair of eyes are staring at passers-by.

Don't we deliver goods here? Of course, we have to be careful. If there are traces of large beasts nearby, it will not be very good. "

Walter laughed when he heard the words, and said, "It should be the illusion of those people. I have been picking fish here for several days, and I haven't noticed anything abnormal. Even if there are beasts, under normal circumstances, they are afraid of people, let alone people. You are still the two of you, and the fire is still burning."

"two?"

Nancy looked over suspiciously.

She snapped her fingers and looked at Nie Yuan, her index finger popped out, she looked at Buck, and her **** popped out again.

Finally, he looked down at himself again, and his ring finger popped out.

"math?"

Not much to say.

The deep meaning is to let Walter experience it himself.

Even illiterate is not so outrageous, right?

Can't count numbers that exceed "two"?

I, Nancy, can count with one hand. There are three of us, and now you are an idiot, and there are four in total, okay?

Walter smiled helplessly and said: "I mean, two adult men, and the existence of torches, ordinary beasts would not dare to provoke them easily. I didn't expect you to be so serious, little girl."

After all, for a truly murderous beast, the existence of Nancy's size can basically be ignored.

And the structure of the human body will make her look more vulnerable than other small animals of the same size.

Naturally, individuals who can intimidate wild beasts cannot be counted.

Of course, Nie Yuan knew what Walter meant. He also felt that Nancy must also know it clearly, but he was very unhappy with others, because of her size, he underestimated himself.

So he couldn't help laughing, and touched Nancy's head to comfort him.

Then he gave Walter a sloppy look and said, "If there is a beast that came out from the depths of the wilderness nearby, I hope it is full, or if I and an old man meet it, it must be fierce, so Are you sure you haven't even seen any abnormal footprints these days?"

Walter shook his head again and again and said: "I haven't seen it before, don't worry, I remember when I was a child, there were many wild beasts in the nearby mountains and forests, but they have basically disappeared from the back, and those who dare to move on these hills are definitely I have also learned the first purpose of survival, staying away from human beings.”

There is no animal protection law in this world.

In other words, the only possible animal protection law is that in some places, out of the principle of "sustainable development", it is stipulated that residents with muskets are not allowed to overkill when they enter the mountains in teams.

It's best to kill as much as you can, and it's okay to bring back rations for two or three days, but it's best not to kill indiscriminately.

But the reality is that even if you violate this purpose, usually no one will care about you.

Because this world is really too big, there are still a lot of uncultivated areas.

Even if they killed the surrounding jungle, it would not affect the entire ecosystem at all. The animals still lived well and prospered in the deeper wilderness.

Moreover, a group of ordinary people went into the mountains with muskets. In fact, there was no senior hunter for the real large beasts, and the traps they set were threatening.

Because muskets have not yet developed to the point where one shot can penetrate steel armor, people will also run away. If they hit two or three shots, as long as they don't hit the absolute key points, the problem is not that big.

It can be heard in many places, similar to the story of a person who encounters a beast without a musket on him, and flicks his tongue to scare the other side away.

In most areas where human beings are active, there are still large beasts that can exist safely. Few do not know that those two-legged beasts full of danger suddenly make a strange noise and may show their magical powers.

If it really causes trouble and hurts people, the group of townspeople will pick up the guy and "go up the mountain to fight tigers", and dozens of muskets will be shot indiscriminately, even the root will be wiped out for you.

so.

Don't mess with the terrifying two-legged beasts, that is, within the scope of human activities, most of the beasts with interest are almost the purpose written in the genes.

As for the gene of ignorance, if it is not cut off, it can be called a strange species.

Under normal circumstances, unless you are really dying of starvation, it is difficult to make the decision to go against the genetic warning of your ancestors and attack and kill the two-legged beast.

This is why Walter always said that Nie Yuan and the others don't need to worry.

Seeing that he really didn't seem to know the situation nearby, Nie Yuan gave up the topic with a smile and said:

"I'm afraid of meeting a novice who doesn't know how to do it~lightnovelpub.net~ comes from the depths of the wilderness and doesn't know the rules at all. After all, it's a bad premonition from the townspeople. I might have bumped into it...

But we have a musket, so it shouldn't be a big problem, the soup is ready, let's eat it first. "

While speaking, the thick soup in front of him had already seen billowing white smoke, and the fragrance drifted away.

One person handed out a bowl and was ready to start.

But at this time, Buck, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up and said:

"Walter."

"Well? What's the matter, old man."

"Why haven't your clothes been done yet?"

"Haha, the old man's question is really weird. Maybe it was too deep just now. Just put it on the fire."

"But I seem to be on your body and smell the fishy sea. You climbed out of the river, not the sea, right?"
