Chapter 2522: It’s a long-lost taste, I miss it so much!
"Ok?"
Ling Tian turned to look at Lili, then looked at the dish on the table, and found that the meat he had taken out had been cooked beyond recognition by Lili. Ling Tian seemed a little helpless for a moment.
It seems that the people here haven't eaten meat for a long time, so they don't know how to cook it?
Although the food on the table looks fine, but...
"Brother, brother~"
Suddenly, Ling Tian felt someone pulling his pants. He turned his head sharply and found that the little boy he met at the door was looking at him with his dark pupils. There were faint tears in his eyes and he pursed his lips, obviously wanting to say something.
Seeing him, Ling Tian smiled slightly, reached out and touched his head and said, "What's wrong? Little brother, weren't you on patrol? Why are you back?"
Hearing Ling Tian's question, Lili also turned her head sharply. When she saw the figure standing in front of Ling Tian, she hurried forward, grabbed his ear, and said in a tone full of reproach: "Okay, you, I was wondering why you disappeared. You're out on patrol again, right?"
"I'm telling you, Xiaohao, if you dare to leave the village again, I'll kill you. Also, this man is our family's savior, so don't be rude to him. Call him uncle, and don't touch him with your dirty hands. Go! Go wash your face first!"
Hearing this, Xiao Hao also hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mom, Mom, I was wrong! I saw my brother outside the village, and he gave us food. I...I didn't go on patrol. I was just hungry, so I wanted to...Mom, I can eat the food on the table, right?"
Lili was also stunned when she heard this, and then she said in a slightly painful tone: "You are not allowed to eat this. This is all prepared for the guests. If you want to eat it, go outside and make a piece of meat out of mud, and then just satisfy your eyes. Get out!"
"Oh!"
Perhaps he knew Lili's temper, or perhaps he was already used to going out and making steaks with mud, so he really didn't have the slightest bit of reluctance and walked straight out.
Seeing his departing figure, Ling Tian hurriedly said, "Little brother, wait a moment."
Ling Tian spoke, Xiao Hao stopped and turned to look at him: "What's wrong? Brother."
"You can eat this. I've eaten and I'm not hungry yet. You can take it and eat it with your parents."
Hearing this, Xiao Hao's face lit up with joy. He suddenly turned around and rushed over. Ignoring Lili's obstruction, he directly picked up the large piece of meat on the plate with his hands. He smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. The first time I saw you, I knew you were a good person. I didn't expect that you really are a good person, hehe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hao looked at the meat in his hand, his eyes shining. He finally bit off a piece fiercely. After about one twentieth of it, he suddenly lifted the meat up, brought it to Yuzhe who was lying on the bed, and handed it to him, saying, "Dad, eat it. You are injured. Eating meat will make you heal faster!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yuzhe to speak, he put the meat beside the bed, picked up the knife that Lili had just dropped on the ground, went over and cut the meat into two pieces, took the other piece, came to Lili and said, "Mom, you eat it, my brother just gave it to me to eat, so you two eat it!"
Xiao Hao's sensible look made Ling Tian and Lin Qi feel distressed, and both of them frowned unconsciously.
They are also children, and they know that when Xiaohao is five or six years old, he will become interested in all delicious and fun things.
On the other hand, Xiao Hao probably also wanted to eat the meat, but he knew that the family was supported by his parents, so he wanted to let the two of them eat more.
To be honest, some adults can’t be as sensible as Xiaohao in suppressing their desire for delicious food.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tian did not say anything, but watched the scene in front of him quietly.
Of course, Lili would not let Xiaohao eat only that small piece. She took the knife, divided the meat in her hand into two pieces, and handed the larger piece to Xiaohao.
In this way, the three members of the family all ate meat. Although Lili pretended to be calm while eating the meat, the tears sliding from the corners of her eyes seemed to tell of her joy.
After they finished eating, Yuzhe fell asleep on the bed, Xiaohao happily went out to play, and Lili looked at Lingtian, lowered her head slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ling, for allowing us to relive the taste of meat again. Thank you so much!"
Hearing this, Ling Tian waved his hand. "No need for that. It's just... I see there are trees all around. Aren't there any animals there? Don't you guys go out hunting?"
Hearing Ling Tian's question, Lin Qi also turned around, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, waiting for Lili's answer.
On the other hand, Lili frowned slightly, seeming to hesitate to speak. It was obvious that the answer to this question made her very conflicted.
Noticing her reaction, Ling Tian smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't be nervous. Just treat it as a normal chat. Don't think too much about it. We won't tell anyone else. We're just curious."
Ling Tian's words seemed to relax Lili a little, so after a moment's thought, she nodded gently: "Well, I can tell you, but can you promise me that you won't tell anyone else about what happened today?"
"Although you are our family's savior, this incident has a significant impact. I'm afraid... I'll be killed, and then there will be no one to take care of Xiaohao. I don't want Xiaohao to say goodbye to this world so early before he even sees it."
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then a serious expression appeared on his face and he nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone about our conversation today, so you don't need to worry about it."
"it is good!"
Seeing Ling Tian had said so much, Lili knew that if she concealed anything further, she would be disrespecting her savior. So she took a deep breath and said, "I don't know where you are from, but you may have heard of the plunderers. They are our greatest threat."
"Every one of them is a warrior. You may not know this, but warriors are humans who can fight against monsters. Each of them is very powerful. In fact, my husband is also a warrior, but in front of them... my husband was directly injured."
At this point, Lili glanced at Yuzhe on the bed, then continued, "The looters come almost three times a month, and every time they come, they plunder the village. If we don't find food, we will... be killed. The animals in the woods are all controlled by the looters, so..."
Lili didn't continue talking, but Ling Tian understood the general situation.
Ling Tian frowned slightly. "Do you know where the predators are hiding? If you do... maybe I can help you out."
"I know." Lili nodded. "It's not far away... Licheng!"
