In the old days of sucking bears

The smell of braised fish is very strong, and many orcs playing in the water have seen this side, but the owner of that gaze is very strange, obviously from other races.

Shen Shuliu twisted a small stone, threw it, and threw it out with a "swoosh". After a long parabola, "plop" into the water, he let out a small cry of pain.

Then, a small dark brown head emerged from the water, with a short and broad head, small ear shells, a blunt snout, bare snout, well-developed upper lip and cheeks, and thick hard whiskers.

Seeing the orc's appearance clearly, Shen Shuliu was stunned for a moment, went to the lake and took a sip of water, no, it's a freshwater lake, this guy—this sea otter, why is it in a freshwater lake? !

Seeing the little guy covering his head with his short round forelimbs, his big black eyes looking at him and Shen Shuliu innocently and ignorantly, he didn't look malicious at all, but looked a little silly, Shen Shuliu was more sure This guy is a sea otter.

But the forest is not cold, there is no ice, and the sun is just too hot, Shen Shuliu finds it even more strange, it feels a bit unscientific.

But he has time-traveled, and animals can become humans, which seems unscientific.

"Liu, do you know this kind of orc?" Seeing Shen Shuliu's surprised look, Dai became curious, "Is there something wrong with this orc?"

"...No problem." Shen Shuliu paused, "I just feel that he shouldn't appear here."

"?" Dai was confused, "What do you mean?"

"It's not a big deal." Shen Shuliu looked at the sea otter as if it had grown up, guessing that it should be a creature that looks like a sea otter in the Beastman Continent, and asked him, "What are you looking at us for?"

"The fish smells so good, I want to eat it." The little sea otter's voice was crisp and clear, as if he was singing, he was very greedy, his eyes were bright and he was a little embarrassed, he slapped the water and dived into the water.

"He ran away?" Tai felt a little pity, and looked at Shen Shuliu questioningly.

"Probably not." Shen Shuliu stared at the water, the water blocked the smell of the sea otter, and Shen Shuliu couldn't smell him, and the lake was deep and blue, so he couldn't see the sea otter either.

Suddenly, a splash appeared in the lake near the shore, and it was the little sea otter that swam over.

The little sea otter stared at the fish in Tai's hand with big black eyes, and asked them in a gentlemanly manner despite being greedy, "I'll exchange something with you, okay?"

"What?" Shen Shuliu thought about the habits of modern sea otters, and stretched out his hand in front of the sea otter. Seeing this, the little sea otter's eyes lit up, and obediently used its small forelimbs to dig out something from the skin pouch on its stomach.

It is a beautiful blue gemstone, the size of a palm, shining brightly and translucently in the sunlight.

"Here." The sea otter's body was plump, and his movements were slow when he landed, so he could only lean forward, holding it with his forelimbs and handing it to Shen Shuliu, with his eyes wide open innocently, hoping that Shen Shuliu would be satisfied.

Shen Shuliu took it over, looked at the color and thought it was okay, handed it to Tai, and reached out to the little sea otter, "What else?"

"And..." The little sea otter fished out of his leather bag again, and took out an orange star gem, which was a little smaller than the one just now, but the color was much more beautiful.

Shen Shuliu took it again, handed it to Dai, and reached out to the little sea otter.

The little sea otter looked at the unintelligent Yazi, and when he saw someone stretch out his hand, he tried his best to dig something out of the skin, and then took out a palm-sized white shell, holding it over like a treasure, "This is delicious."

Seeing that Shen Shuliu took it and looked it over, the little sea otter was afraid that they would not open it, so he warmly and sincerely took out a sharp stone and handed it to them, "Use this to smash it, and you can eat the meat inside, which is very convenient."

"En." Shen Shuliu accepted it unceremoniously, and stretched out his hand again, "What else?"

Tai couldn't bear the sight of it, and felt that Shen Shuliu's bully was a little angry and funny, so he said, "Don't bully him." Then he said to the little sea otter, "What you gave is enough for this fish, there is no need to give any more." ..."

"It's okay, there's more..." The little sea otter didn't know that he had been betrayed at all, and even spoke for the villains who bullied him. He continued to dig out things innocently, and took out another round moonstone.

"It can be bright this night..." The little sea otter handed it to Dai, who wanted to refuse, but Shen Shuliu took it directly, stuffed it into Dai's arms, and said righteously, "How can there be a free dinner in the world? Gained."

"Correct, you deceive people." Dai was amused by Shen Shuliu's heretical and heretical talk, Shen Shuliu was confident, and continued to reach out, "What else, bring it."

The size of the dark brown pouch was unclear, and he didn't know how many things were hidden. The little sea otter was tricked by Shen Shuliu, and took out one thing after another. Beautiful gems, big shells, even small seaweeds, and nut cores were all taken out. It was completely wiped out, and the family went bankrupt in an instant.

The habit of the sea otter to reach out and give is really fun.

Shen Shuliu tossed the opal in his hand, and didn't mention the braised fish at all. The little sea otter watched eagerly. This guy even complained first, "What are you looking at? It's not for you to eat."

"I traded it with you..." The little sea otter stared wide-eyed, feeling aggrieved by being cheated, holding his face in his forelegs, at a loss, "I gave you all my things..."

"I didn't say I want to change it, you gave it yourself." Shen Shuliu was serious, the little sea otter hugged his head and thought for a while, it seemed like oh, he didn't say he wanted to change it.

Little Sea Otter: Pa, my heart is broken.

"Stop teasing him." Dai returned the things in his arms to the little sea otter, and Shen Shuliu reached out to stop him, "You are an adult orc, and you have to pay for your actions."

"You can't eat food for free. You pick a few you like, and we'll exchange them with him." Shen Shuliu pointed out a finger to the little sea otter, "Exchange a fish, do you agree?"

"Hmm!" The little sea otter held his cheeks in surprise, and patted the water excitedly. Before Shen Shuliu had time to react, the splashed water covered his face.

Shen Shuliu: "..." Feng Shui takes turns.

"You deserve it." Tai laughed and cursed, took two random stones from the little sea otter's pile of weird things, and gave the rest to the little sea otter.

Seeing this, Shen Shuliu took out the most beautiful gemstones and shellfish, returned the remaining rags to the little sea otter, and ordered him to do things, "Is there any shellfish like this?"

The guide said that this kind of shellfish tastes good, but it is quite difficult to find. Their orcs just went into the water and couldn't find these pearl oysters.

"Yes." The little sea otter nodded ignorantly, seeing that Shen Shuliu was interested in his favorite food and was very excited, "There are so many below!"

"Bring some more." Shen Shuliu was not polite, "At least thirty or fifty like this."

"Why instigate others." Tai frowned, and condemned Shen Shuliu's behavior of bullying children. Shen Shuliu was unreasonable and strong, "Don't look at him as a small animal, this sea otter has grown up."

"Yes, I'm an adult." The little sea otter nodded obediently, and patted the water in surprise, "How do you know I'm a sea otter? Other orcs don't know my clan."

Um?Is this guy really a sea otter?

Shen Shuliu felt something was wrong, "You are the only sea otter here?"

"Yeah, I've only seen one sea otter." The little sea otter was not sad at all, and introduced his partner shyly, "But I have a partner, he is the patriarch of the duck otter clan."

Duck otter?

Shen Shuliu was stunned for a moment, there is such a creature here?

"Ah," the sea otter thought of something, dived into the water with a "plop", and didn't even take back his treasures, "I'll go find shells for you."

Tai wanted to laugh a little, "Why is this sea otter a little..."

"Why are you a bit stupid?" Shen Shuliu was not surprised, "The sea otters all have this kind of character, they just give when they reach out, they don't know how to bargain, and they don't lie or lie."

"How do you talk..." Tai slapped Shen Shuliu across the face, and said with a frown, "It's reasonable to lie, these things..."

Tai looked at the gemstone in his hand again, dumbfounding: "I've never seen you so bad."

Shen Shuliu clicked his tongue lightly: "You can see worse ones."

-

Although sea otters can't swim fast, their sense of smell and the storage capacity of their skins are not limited. They floated up from the water in a short time, and when they were pulled out of their skins, there were more than a dozen large shells.

The little sea otter didn't talk too much. He unloaded his cargo and dived into the water again, looking for shells. He came and went several times, and then collected shellfish as high as the hill. Seeing that the sea otter wanted to go into the water, Tai hurriedly stopped him, "Enough is enough. No more looking for it."

"I'll catch another fish." The little sea otter went down again, patting the water, and Shen Shuliu looked amazed, "If it wasn't for the fear of duck otters chasing and killing me, I would really like to kidnap a sea otter. It’s so deceptive, you can work so hard without paying, how good is 996.”

"What are you talking about?" Tai slapped him and called out, "Let's cook."

"Of order." Shen Shuliu sighed, poured the just-cooked braised fish onto the big leaves, and honestly made a wooden frame for grilling shellfish.

Shen Shuliu was so strong that he broke open a large shell casually with both hands, and dozens of round and plump pearls lay quietly on the red-orange shell, waiting to be picked.

"Pearl oyster, the pearl is quite big." Shen Shuliu was a little surprised. Pearl oysters have many common diseases, and sick pearl oysters cannot be eaten, so modern oyster farmers would rather throw away the oyster meat than let They flowed into the market, Shen Shuliu did not expect that there were such high-quality pearls among these edible shellfish.

Guide to Ancient Flora and Fauna is honest.

"See if you like it or not." Shen Shuliu picked out those thumb-sized pearls, washed them and handed them to Dai, "If you like it, if you have time, you can make holes in these pearls and string them together to make a necklace."

"Necklace?" Dai picked up the pearls and put them under the sunlight. They were so beautiful and beautiful. "Let's take some back and make a necklace for brother's cub."

"Okay, if you want, pick some and keep them." Shen Shuliu was not interested in these gemstones and pearls. His own coming-of-age necklaces were all dusty, but Dai liked...

Shen Shuliu opened a few more, and the pearls inside were not only the usual white, but also rose, gold, blue, red, etc., mostly depending on the color of the shell.

Shen Shuliu put the opened pearl oyster on the fire to roast, Dai watched him sprinkle garlic and salt, and was a little curious, "Can you still eat it like this?"

"Well, you don't need bowls and chopsticks to eat this way, and it tastes delicious." Shen Shuliu sprinkled chili powder, squeezed out some sour fruit juice to drip on it, watched the meat in the shell sizzling, and erupted an indescribable gasp. Fragrant.

Fortunately, there were many fires on the shore of the lake, and the aromas everywhere were very strong. After rising, they mixed together, so that Shen Shuliu's eating alone was able to be quiet, and did not attract such troublesome little devils as praying cub Huyu.

"Is it ready to eat?" Dai had just eaten a piece of braised fish, and was aroused by these pearl shells, staring at the dish eagerly.

"It's almost there." Shen Shuliu glanced at the heat, pinched the edge of the shell that was not too hot, let it dry before handing it to Dai's mouth, "Try the taste, be careful of burning."

"Yeah." Toi carefully ate one, and his eyes lit up instantly, "This is delicious!"

"Actually, this can also be eaten raw, but freshwater shellfish have no taste," Shen Shuliu said, "See if the beast gods have saltwater shellfish, those are delicious when eaten raw."

"Water, is there still salt water and fresh water?" Dai asked, "What's the difference between them? Is it because they taste different?"

"It's because the salinity is different." Shen Shuliu said, "In fresh water..." Just halfway through speaking, there was another splash of water. Fortunately, Shen Shuliu was quick with his eyes and hands, and took a few big leaves to block the fire and tortoise. The shell survived, but he was soaked again and became a drowned chicken.

Shen Shuliu: "..." Did this guy intentionally take revenge?

Shen Shuliu looked up, and saw a picture of a beauty coming out of the bath.

The water was crystal clear, the water droplets were clear, and the young man's slender and beautiful body was stained with a layer of light orange pink under the afterglow of the sun. He jumped out of the water like a vigorous swimming fish, flexible yet powerful.

Attracting the eyes of many orcs, even Dai thought he was very good-looking. After a pause, he turned his head to look at Shen Shuliu, and saw that his eyes were also bright. Before Dai had time to be jealous, he immediately reacted when he saw his eyes clearly. come over.

The young man caught the lively golden long fish in his hand. It has a nimble body, a vigorous body, smooth lines, and graceful movements. When Shen Shuliu saw it, the DNA in his body moved.

[Ding——golden dragon fish, few spines, extremely delicious, best eaten raw...]

Tsk tsk, the best sashimi will be delivered to your door.

Shen Shuliu was ready to sharpen his knife and rushed towards the dragon fish, "Little sea otter, throw the fish up."

Hearing Shen Shuliu's words, the boy threw his hands away, and the beautiful and plump arowana fell into Shen Shuliu's clutches. The sea otter boy came out of the water and sat on the shore, staring at Shen Shuliu's baked shells without blinking: " This smells delicious, can I eat it?"

"Ah," the sea otter boy saw the steaming braised fish on the leaves, and his face became lively, "Is this for me?"

The young man has short silver curly hair, extremely black pupils like a speck of smoke, his skin is creamy, his collar is like a grub, his waist is still in the shape of a beast, like a mermaid prince who is ignorant of the world, pure and beautiful.

However, Shen Shuliu didn't care, he only cared about whether Dai was full, so he had to deal with the fish in his hand.

"It's up to you." Shen Shuliu refused to give an inch, and the lion opened his mouth, "But if you want to eat shells, you have to exchange this fish."

"Okay, okay." The sea otter boy nodded repeatedly, fearing that Shen Shuliu would regret it, he grabbed the braised fish with both hands, took a small bite, and looked happy.

Shen Shuliu took the shells off the fire rack, put another batch on them, sprinkled garlic, and said to Dai: "Look at the fire."

"Okay." Toi nodded, and saw that sharp animal nails had popped out of Shen Shuliu's hands, ready to slash the dragon fish vigorously.

The dragon fish seemed to know its end, struggling desperately, but Shen Shuliu held it tightly.

The best ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods—such as eating them raw.

After a while, the body of the arowana was covered with beautiful flowers, and the rose-gold fish meat was neatly stacked on the clean leaves, Shen Shuliu simply adjusted the sauce of the sashimi, "Try it, how about it. "

"Yeah." Toi picked up a piece and wrapped it in sauce. The snowflake fish seemed to melt in the mouth. It was sweet and spicy, plump and tender, and the umami taste hit the taste buds. Toi fell in love with it in one bite.

"good to eat!"

"It's delicious!" The young sea otter smiled when he saw it. "This fish is hard to catch, but my partner thinks it's delicious, so I often catch it for him. If I catch it, I'll be very good at catching this fish."

"You are so kind to your partner." Dai smiled, Shen Shuliu heard the words, took him over and kissed him, with a threatening tone, "I'm not good to you?"

"Okay, it's not bad." Tai smiled, kissed him back, and put the sashimi into his mouth, "You eat too."

"Hmm." Shen Shuliu ate with satisfaction, and put the remaining skeleton of the dragon fish into the stone pot, added fresh mushrooms and small shellfish, and prepared to stew a pot of thick soup.

Of course, the water is not the water in the lake. This lake is disgusted by the jackal fur and jackal blood that the orcs have swallowed, so the orcs go to the nearby stream to get water.

"I just smelled the bloody smell, and thought you were bad orcs." The sea otter boy gnawed on the braised fish and smiled foolishly, "I was terribly scared, but the fish you grilled is so delicious, I couldn't bear it." live close to..."

"Especially the fish you cook," the sea otter boy looked at Shen Shuliu with big black eyes, "how can you cook fish so well? It's really delicious."

"This fish is difficult to cook, but my partner thinks it is delicious, so I often cook it for him. As I do it, I will be very good at cooking this fish." Shen Shuliu added, "It's not difficult to catch fish. Also good at catching fish."

"Wow," said the sea otter boy with a look of admiration, "You are so kind to your partner."

Listening to this familiar conversation, Dai was both funny and annoyed, and glared at Shen Shuliu, "Why do you hold grudges like this?" Then, he rubbed his face again, "Others will know even if you don't tell."

Shen Shuliu snorted.

Important things are repeated three times, and there is still one more time.

"By the way, my name is Ta, what's your name?" The sea otter boy realized later, and Dai also realized, "My name is Dai, and this is my partner, Liu."

"Hey, my partner's name is Leng." Sea Otter Tower smiled shyly, and said, "Can you give me some of your sauces? I want to give my partner a taste of this 'sashimi'."

"Yes, I can also give you the sauce, and I can also teach you how to make it, but you have to exchange it for something." Shen Shuliu said, "Barter, what do you exchange?"

Sea Otter Tower thought for a while, "Is it okay to use gemstones? Is it okay to use pearl oysters? I can also catch dragon fish for you!"

Gemstones are flashy things, but the orcs can't stand them, and they can be exchanged for worthless sauces, and the value can be doubled several times.

Shen Shuliu nodded, and said again: "Apart from the ones you took out just now, what gems do you have?"

"I have a lot more! There are a lot!" Sea Otter Tower heard that he agreed, and happily patted the water with his tail. "Blue, red, pink, gold, so many more! I'll get them for you!"

"Okay." As soon as Shen Shuliu agreed, Sea Otter immediately jumped into the water, "I'll be back soon!"

Dai saw that he disappeared after entering the water, so he smiled, "If you say that the wind is the rain, you seem to be in a hurry."

"It's fine if you can get your hands on it." Shen Shuliu said indifferently, and casually took out the baked pearl shells, "This batch of shells is also ready."

Shen Shuliu ate for a while, then raised his head inadvertently, and saw that the setting sun had completely set, and the faint stars were twinkling in the night sky, and soon filled the dark blue night sky like chess falling.

There are light blue plants growing on the shore of the lake, and the golden-red flowers slowly bloom, shining like fireflies. When the orcs accidentally touch them, the flowers fall down, float on the lake, and are sent farther by the wind of the lake.

The orcs raised a bonfire and coaxed by the bonfire. Some orcs went up and sang and danced deliberately pushing and pulling, which made the orcs laugh. They ate grilled fish and meat, played music and danced.

Shen Shuliu suddenly remembered that duck otters seem to be nocturnal animals and live in rivers and lakes. Sea Otter Tower said that his partner is duck otter, and he seems to be active here...

Tsk, this lake is not the territory of the duck otter tribe, right?

Dai saw that Shen Shuliu's complexion was a bit uneasy, and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face like this?"

"This seems to be the territory of the Duck Otter Tribe." Shen Shuliu frowned slightly, "The strange orcs came here uninvited, and they still ate and drank here, making the whole lake smell like blood. To the Duck Otter Clan, it is tantamount to provocation .”

"What should I do?" Dai Wenyan, the heart that was excited by the food also calmed down, "Do you know the Duck Otter Tribe?"

"It's not necessarily clear," Shen Shuliu said, "I'm not sure about the temper of the duck otter."

The problem arises here. After all, there are two time and space. The habits of the modern duck otter and the ancient duck otter are not necessarily the same. For example, the modern fox is so loyal, the ancient fox is still a sea king, the modern rabbit is eager to bite, and the ancient rabbit Eat meat straight away.

"But Tulan and Huyu should be clearer." Dai said, "Ask them."

-

"You mean the Duck Otter Tribe?" Hu Yu's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Well, it's not like you don't know that our Fox Clan was disliked by the tribes in the mainland forest, especially the Duck Otter Tribe. The whole tribe hates us."

"The Duck Otter tribe is very mysterious and difficult to meet, but their tribe seems to be poisonous all over their bodies, and they hold grudges very much," Hu Yu said, with an ugly expression on his face, "Our tribe who ran away after playing is because of this... ...finally died."
