Cooking in the Monster Shelter - Chapter 103
Concubine Lin sighed slightly, took out the tissue from her pocket, and carefully wiped away the teardrops from the corner of the beast’s eyes.
However, the more comforted she was, the harder the other party cried. Even if she bit her lip hard and tried not to make any noise, tears came out uncontrollably.
Fangs and trembling pale lips, bloodshot and water-filled blue eyes, hoarse and cruel voice and endless small sobbing, two completely different qualities form a delicate balance, making him look vicious and pitiful, inexplicable There is also a bit out of place and cute.
“If you want, if you want to kill me, hurry up, what’s the use of pretending to be a human being here?” The beast stared fiercely while crying, and said in a crying voice that there is no deterrence at all, because it is crying. , He even squatted in his words, “Don’t look at me with such disgusting eyes, or you will dig out your eyeballs!”
Concubine Lin actually nodded: “Okay, you come.”
She only said three words, and easily choked all of the other’s cruel words in her throat.
The monster with sharp claws moved his fingertips subconsciously, but as soon as she saw the soft white paper she held in her hand and wiped her tears, she lost all killing intent for some reason.
He knew that this strange little black-haired girl was helping him.
When it comes to fighting, he ends up in an extremely embarrassed defeat; when it comes to fighting, he is directly killed by three words.
The beast was angry and embarrassed, and only felt the heat rising up quickly, making his neck and cheeks become unbearably hot. Fortunately, the long dark brown hair covered his cheeks, so that he would not show even more embarrassing facial flushing.
He was furious for a while, and wanted to let the arrogant strange woman in front of him taste his own power, but worried that the too sharp claws would hurt her, so he thought smartly and chose a compromise method——
Her sharp nails can be stretched freely, and as long as they are all retracted, they can take revenge without hesitation.
Human, tremble under his minions!
Seeing a trace of hatred appearing in the eyes of the beast, Lin Contained her expression and held her breath, watching the other party suddenly raise her hands——
Then, as she continued to cry, tapped her shoulders tirelessly with a soft pad, shouting in her mouth, “Go to hell!”
Lin Concubine:?
This is the legendary…smash your shoulder with a small fist?
The prototype of Mr. Beast should be the lion, which belongs to the orthodox cat. Compared with the cat’s small and soft paws, his palms are much thicker and wider. The thick fleshy pads are dark brown, and they are wrapped in the center by fine white hairs, showing a somewhat inexplicable silly cuteness. .
He didn’t have much strength. When the meat pads fell on her arms and shoulders, it looked like he was being massaged by a fluffy meat ball. One thing to say, it was actually quite comfortable.
only–
Lin Yan lowered her eyes, put her gaze on the back of the beast’s hand, and pressed her lips unconsciously.
There are wounds everywhere on his hands. The blood mouth that has not completely solidified probably originated from a sword cut, and the pierced blood hole was caused by an arrow. Both were hideous and terrifying, and pus and blood leaked out. The mane was stained with wisps of blood and solidified into a bunch of knots. The fishy wind passed through the tip of Lin Yan’s nose from time to time, causing her to frown.
She gently held the beast’s wrist to prevent him from causing the wound to open and worsen due to excessive activities, and then hesitated and asked in a low voice: “Your hand…”
The other party didn’t appreciate it, and pulled out his paw.
He finally stopped crying, his bloodshot eyes squinted at her, without any extra feelings: “My hand? Isn’t this your masterpiece? Hire you to kill me, those people in town how much did you spend?”
Concubine Lin was stunned for a moment, and soon understood that the wild beasts had misunderstood their origins, thinking that everyone was hired by nearby residents to come to the castle to hunt the monsters.
The relevant plot is mentioned in the original book. Although he did not commit any mistakes, the presence of the beast still made the people around him panic, so he would go to the castle to carry out the so-called “crisis” every few hours, leaving him scarred.
In order to save his life, the beast can only resist and counterattack. This behavior makes him more brutal and terrifying in the eyes of humans, and crusades are becoming more frequent, forming a sad vicious circle, which just happened to be true of his brutality. rumor.
Before she could explain, Lu Yinge’s voice rang to the sky not far away: “Spend money? We are not people who can be instructed at will, and you should not be passionate and add some persecution to yourself. “
Concubine Lin followed his meaning: “You misunderstood. We were not entrusted by anyone, and we only entered the castle because… it was getting late and we needed to find a place to spend the night.”
In fact, it was really to kill him at first.
But at that time, according to the widespread rumors, everyone thought that the wild beast was tyrannical and murderous, and it was a disaster for one side. But now from his lame attack and crying appearance…Where is this the ultimate boss villain? , Change the gender and appearance, and say that the little princess is awkward, and everyone believes it.
The Beast didn’t expect her to say this, the original fierce and evil expression melted softly before long, turning into a curious baby-like dazed.
It seemed that he realized that his expression management had made a mistake, and he quickly raised his eyebrows and tightened his lips, trying to maintain his ferocious appearance.
Concubine Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her voice still soft: “My name is Concubine Lin, how about you?”
It wasn’t until then that Lin Hao realized that the reason why the beast’s voice was so hoarse was only because it had cried too long and too hard. Although his voice was still dry now, it was much softer than before: “Adam.”
“Adam.” She said the name softly, “Then can you tell me now, why are you crying?”
Last second, a beast with an expression of “the only one in the sky and the world” burst into tears for an instant: “Belle, Belle, and other men ran away! That guy had an accident at sea, and it was me and Belle. He was rescued from the beach, but the man abducted her, wow-!”
Oh, it turned out to be just because the heroine eloped with someone else.
and many more.
The heroine eloped with another man? ! And this “rescue home from the beach” plot… Why does it sound so similar to the story of “The Mermaid” hello!
Concubine Lin sat at the long table that was finally wiped clean, boringly supporting her cheeks with her hands, carefully sorting out the current situation.
Belle eloped with an unknown man. Adam was in grief and indignation. He searched for the two men’s tracks regardless of the fact that he had had a long-term relationship with the surrounding residents. However, he was surrounded and intercepted, and his body was covered with scars.
He finally agreed to take a bath to clean up the blood stains under Lin Yu’s instructions. Lu Yinge and Ming Chuan met to hunt for food in the jungle. People are iron rice or steel. Even in a dream, eating food to fill your stomach is also a factor. An indispensable activity.
What struck her the most was Adam’s description of the unknown third person.
Hearing that the royal ship wrecked the night before, when he and Belle found the handsome young man, it was already in the early hours of the next day. I don’t know if it was the cause of the waves, but he was washed to the shore wet, and saved a life in a mortal situation. It can be called a miracle.
There are not so many miracles in the world.
The ship wrecked, the prince was rescued to the shore, and an unknown woman took him home… The overall story of these plots fits perfectly with the story of “The Mermaid”.
So, instead of Ariel, it was the heroine in “Beauty and the Beast” who rescued the prince, and the heroine abandoned her destined true love and eloped with the prince? Since there is a connection between them, will there be more or less connections between the rest of the stories, forming a huge fairy tale universe?
Anyway, your circle is really messy.
She thought about it, and was startled by the unprepared footsteps behind her. When she turned her head to find out, she happened to meet Mr. Beast’s blue eyes.
After the long hair was soaked in water, it was wetly attached to his body. Although it was wiped with a towel, it still dropped a few cold water droplets from time to time. The new white shirt was already soaked. . The scars and blood mouth were wrapped in a bandage roughly, the crimson and nearly black blood stains were finally washed away, and the long hair showed a beautiful and steady brown, which looked smooth and well-behaved.
He was rarely looked at so bluntly. He was a little overwhelmed for a while, and could only respond fiercely in his most accustomed tone of blasting: “What do you look at!”
Although it was too cold, it was just right to tremble constantly when speaking, and to have no deterrent at all.
It seems that he is still persistently implementing his goal in life: pretending to be fierce, pretending to be fierce-as long as he feels fierce enough, the world will have been trampled under his feet.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Adam showed the triumphant expression of the victor after the children quarreled, and showed a wooden comb in his hand.
His mane is thick and intricate, and many thick long hairs are tangled together, making the comb stop halfway awkwardly. The beast has never had the patience in this regard, and with a violent force, when the comb finally slipped, it also took away a handful of hair.
Concubine Lin saw her scalp hurt, and waved at him: “Come here and I will teach you.”
Adam reluctantly wrote all over his face: “Do I need you to teach? Dreaming.”
Then obediently stepped forward to sit on the chair and handed her the comb.
Concubine Lin thought, he was really right, it was just a dream here.
“Comb your hair from top to bottom and gently slide it down. Be patient when you encounter knots, and slowly untie it.”
She held the wooden comb in one hand and held the beast’s head in the other. Adam’s hair is thick, and it is covered with a layer of cool and refreshing touch after being soaked in water, but when he touches it carefully, he will feel the gentle heat from his skin. The long mane of the lion feels unique to the touch. After being softened by the water, it no longer bursts loosely, but with a unique soft touch, which seems to melt away with the water droplets in the palm of the next second.
Adam in front of him muttered, as if he hesitated for a long time before saying this question: “…Are you afraid of me?”
Lin Concubine raised her eyebrows: “Why are you afraid of you?”
She was quite afraid of him crying, and she didn’t know how to coax him.
“Because I am the most ferocious beast in a hundred miles!” Adam turned to look at her solemnly, “I hurt a lot of people, as long as the scream is called, there is no human nearby who flees without leaving the wasteland.”
If she didn’t know this guy, she might believe this nonsense.
But unfortunately, now Mr. Beast is standing in front of her, no matter how he looks, he looks like a giant cat pretending to be fierce, or a kind of coquettish.
What’s more, if you want to live a good life, you must have a little green on your head. The ferocious villain who was wearing a green hat… He looked miserable no matter how he thought it! When I saw him, I thought of the free and beautiful green grassland!
Lin Hui answered honestly: “But you hurt them, wasn’t it because those people besieged you first?”
Adam was stunned.
“Then, then my personality is also very bad. If I don’t agree with you, I will lose my temper at you. If I don’t pay attention, I might…”
Concubine Lin answered in due course: “Will cry? It doesn’t matter, I am very good at comforting people.”
Beast:…
“Then you are not afraid of what I look like?” He was silent for a long while, and finally made up his mind to say this sentence, “You have also seen that I look completely different from you, and I am a completely different monster. They are all Said, as long as they see my face, any girl will be scared to cry immediately—the same is true of Belle, she has been hiding from me.”
He tightened his lips when he said that, and then tried to lift the corners of his mouth to show a smile that was uglier than crying.
In fact, he was once a human being, because he was cursed and turned into what he is now, but this incident could not be told to other people anyway, and over time it became a secret that belonged only to him.
Thinking about it now, he couldn’t even remember what it was like to be a human being.
The ignorant town residents regard him as a man-eating monster, and whenever they meet him, they will attack him in groups. Over time, the beast stopped going out at will, and closed himself in a small castle. For a long time, his friend had only one wall.
Perhaps out of loneliness, he forced a little girl named “Bell” to stay here. In fact, it doesn’t matter who that person is, as long as someone is willing to accompany him, the beast is already very satisfied, even if she fists and lashes at each other.
He yearned for company but he felt inferior that he was not worthy of company. He was afraid of being alone but had to put himself in loneliness. After turning into an inhuman and ghost appearance, Lin Yu was the first person to speak to him with a smile, but her gentleness made the Beast feel scared——
He has nothing, except for an ugly body, a bad temper and an old castle. Where can a guy like this get such gentle treatment?
Lin Yan seemed to smile: “The reason why they are afraid of you is not because of your looks, but because of rumours about the’mannibal beast’. When humans are afraid of something, no matter what it looks like, they will not please them. ——I don’t know who you are, so I’m not scared, right?”
Seeing the other party nodded dumbfounded, she added briskly: “Although your appearance is different from that of human beings, humans can never be the only standard for everything. The animals and plants in the forest are very different from them. Do you want to Say they are ugly? If you want me to say it, your hair is very beautiful—to the point that you can’t help but feel it.”
Actually I want to touch my ears! The lion’s round little furry ears are really super cute! Want to pinch!
It’s a pity that she failed to express this wish in person.
When Lin Ma’s words fell, the gate of the castle was gently pushed open. Mingchuan and Lu Yinge took advantage of the sunset to search for some ingredients, and then it was her turn to cook.
In this dream, autumn is getting stronger, the weather is getting colder, and in the soothing autumn wind, if you can eat some light and warm food, it is undoubtedly a happy thing.
The first dish that Lin Ma brought to the table was the fish soup that was boiled milky and milky white. A big plump grass carp lay flat in the soup, with jade-like green onions dotted with it. The intervention of only one color made the otherwise dull and cool tone full of vitality and appetite.
The reason why the fish soup becomes milky white is because the fat contained in the fish overflows during the cooking process. The boiling soup smashes the fat into many small particles, and the protein in the fish has an emulsifying effect. Both After fusion, an oil-in-water emulsion is formed, and the soup becomes rich and white.
Fortunately, there were still some bottles and jars and messy powder left in the kitchen for seasoning. As soon as the fish soup was on the table, the delicious and fragrant aroma filled the nose of everyone present.
It was the first time that Ming Chuan tasted Lin Hao’s craftsmanship. Holding the bowl in both hands, and carefully drank the first sip of fish soup, his eyes suddenly widened involuntarily.
The hot water flow is at the right temperature, with a little hotness, passing through the tip of the tongue, throat and intestines very smoothly. As soon as it is swallowed, it flutters and spreads, as if it has penetrated into every cell and every corner of the body It’s all warm.
The soup is very tasty, the strong meaty aroma of grass carp has not been able to spread on the tongue, and another sweet aroma covers the whole mouth. As for the fish, it’s incredibly soft and slippery. When touched with a knife and fork, it breaks into scattered pieces. It hardly feels when you put it in your mouth. It just feels like a soft, sweet air rolling around. On the tip of the tongue, then wrapped the fish scent and slipped into the throat.
The second dish is a classic Western dish-roast chicken.
In addition to the fish, the two of them did not know where to find a lively chicken. Lu Yinge volunteered to help. After a while, he finally succeeded in beheading it and washing it away. The two natural enemies of taste, blood and smell, were removed.
There was no oven in this era, so you had to put firewood and grill on your own.
Before grilling, apply honey, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to every part of the chicken’s body. After rubbing and massaging, the sauce is finely immersed in every fiber. In order to make it more flavorful, Lin Yu also poke many small holes on the roast chicken body with a needle, so that the sauce can easily penetrate into the meat.
If there is only monotonous chicken, it would look too greasy. Various vegetables are the finishing touch to this dish. After the chicken is grilled, it can be placed in the center of a huge plate, surrounded by cooked potatoes, carrots, broccoli and small tomatoes.
Adam doesn’t know how to cook, so his daily food is boiled vegetables. Now when he sees such a delicate and rich roast chicken, he can’t help but swallow.
The first bite of the roast chicken oozes hot juice. The juice was wrapped in salty, honey, and meaty aromas. When he tore off the crispy and crispy outer skin, he could feel the click of teeth against the crunchy shell when he chewed.
The skin of the chicken is grilled into a full and even brown, but the inside is white, tender and smooth. Take a bite along the lines of the chicken. The burnt-flavored skin is wrapped in the fresh and tender meat. Because the roasting maturity is just right, the moisture is fully locked in the meat, and it tastes not too old. It is matched with carefully prepared sweet and salty. The sauce and honey are refreshing, and everything is perfect.
He hadn’t eaten human food for a long time, and even for a long, long time, he didn’t dare to expect to have a meal one day.
It turns out that the fragrant and hot dishes have this kind of taste, and when you eat it, you are about to cry with happiness.
The rumored beast that kills without blinking let out a low whimper, and its round ears swayed quietly.
Then his eyes flushed, and he lowered his head hastily.
“Eh eh,” Lin Hao stopped the silver fork, “Are you okay?”
Adam’s hoarse voice was heard fiercely: “I didn’t cry! I just…”
He tried very hard to think about the excuse for a while, and then choked up with a cry of tears: “It’s just that I choked accidentally.”
She never said that he was crying.
“Good, good,” Lin Concubine said, “you slow down.”
She took another sip of fish soup, and squinted to Lu Yinge when she was interested: “How is it?”
“Not bad.” Lu Yinge rarely showed a repulsive attitude, and raised his eyes jokingly, “Your cooking skills are much more pleasing than yourself.”
Lin Concubine: “Oh, you spit out the **** for me.”
After dinner slowly, it was getting late.
Ming Chuan volunteered to take on the task of washing the dishes, but was taken away by Lu Yinge with a horizontal knife. This was in Lin Yu’s expectation-with Lu Yinge’s character, even if he became a tired scalper, he would never let the children suffer a little toss. .
Typical negative textbook of contemporary education.
After Lin Yu briefly washed, and when she headed to the assigned room, she met Mingchuan at the corner of the corridor.
I don’t know if it’s because of the dark night, his expression is much gloomier than that during the day, and there is not the slightest expression in his dark eyes. When standing motionless in the corner, he looks like a beautiful but stiff statue.
“Why help him?”
Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and the other side was exposed to the flickering light. When Mingchuan spoke with a calm voice, his eyelashes that fluctuated with his breathing resembled a trembling butterfly, and his wings were stained with bright lights.
His voice was erratic, and he couldn’t hear his emotions: “Obviously, as long as you stab a knife in his neck, everything is over, isn’t it? You do this all the time.”
Lin Yu subconsciously felt something was wrong.
Although the young man was in a low pressure, he did not show any hostility towards her. I don’t know why, Lin Hui always felt that he was not very happy.
“Because he is crying, no matter how fierce he looks, as long as he still cries, it means that there is still a soft place in his heart. What’s more–“
She approached the boy step by step, and the soft lingering sound that followed the autumn breeze came into her ears when she spoke: “When the beast is crying, you also show a very sad expression, don’t you?”
Ming Chuan’s back trembled slightly and raised his eyes hastily.
He never thought that Lin Lin would notice such tiny details, or that it has been a long time that no one would give him even a little gaze, let alone any one who tried his best to speculate on his inner thoughts under his expression, and then Treat him gently and implicitly like now.
It’s like dreaming.
The young man couldn’t help laughing at himself—it was indeed a real dream here. Whether it was those terrifying and hideous monsters or the gentle Lin Hao and Lu Yinge who were willing to give him, everyone was just a illusion of nothingness, and never existed from beginning to end.
Concubine Lin said, walking to Mingchuan, a light smile overflowed from the arc at the end of her eyes: “You think you are very similar to him, don’t you?”
The thin layer of ice under his eyes shattered and turned into a lake rippling with sparkling water. Mingchuan stared at her in astonishment, opened his mouth slightly, but stopped talking.
Concubine Lin said nothing bad.
The moment he saw the beast, he thought of his own experience almost at the same time. They are also jailed and scarred, never loved by anyone, and withdrawn and indifferent to isolate themselves from the world.
It is absolutely impossible for people like them to get the so-called “happy and happy” ending. Only death is the only destination-today is a beast, and it will be his turn soon.
Ming Chuan had made all the preparations to witness the death of the beast, but he never expected that Lin Hao did not kill.
Even, she wanted to help him, just because the guy was crying.
What a strange person.
At that time, he was thinking like this in his heart, and he couldn’t help but pray. If it were her, he might be able to take himself out of this endless abyss, this recurring nightmare. His emotions are so sincere and strong, but when he thinks about it, he feels frustrated–
No matter how tender and close Lin Hao and Lu Yinge were, they would never appear in his real life. There is a whole dimensional universe separated between them, and there is never the possibility of intersection.
He became jealous of Adam inexplicably, just because the latter was in the same world with them, even if this world was emptiness and cruel, at least there were people who were really by his side.
Lin Ma next to her continued to whisper: “No matter who it is, you will meet someone you want to protect one day, and someone willing to protect him. The curse of Mr. Beast can definitely be eliminated, and you can always Meet them-just get through the hardest time.”
“Although I don’t know what you have experienced in reality… But as long as Lu Yinge and I are there, you will never be subjected to unnecessary pain. The most important point is that if you are Mingchuan, no matter what you become What it looks like, even if it is to become the most ferocious beast—”
Concubine Lin paused for a moment and touched the top of his soft and fluffy head: “We will all find you, and then save you from the curse.”
The young man looked at her quietly.
The moon poked his head out of the dark clouds to illuminate most of his face. Suddenly Mingchuan chuckled softly and slowly said, “I have already met.”
Concubine Lin didn’t understand and frowned in confusion.
A night breeze blew by, and the swaying candlelight all deflected, only the heavy night suddenly covered him, and all his expressions and voices seemed blurred. Mingchuan’s eyes were dim, and there was a trace of inexplicable gloom across his eyes.
In the short and quiet darkness, a slightly hoarse young man’s voice swept past his ears in the evening breeze: “So… don’t disappear for no reason, sister.”
The author has something to say:
Blackened reservation (not)
