There were not many customers in the candy shop. The two of them were not so much helping in the shop as they were chatting with Granny Qu.

It wasn't until the sunset that Liu Xiaolu reluctantly said goodbye to Granny Qu and returned to Wanxiang Pavilion with Luo Lin.

Hu Yizhi had been waiting at Wanxiang Pavilion for a long time. When Liu Xiaolu came back, he directly pulled her into the carriage at the door.

By the time the two returned to Yuchuan in the carriage, the sky was already dark.

"Oops, Xiaoqing!"

Walking to the west courtyard, Liu Xiaolu suddenly thought of Xiao Qing at home. He hurriedly picked up the hem of his clothes and trotted towards his residence.

Xiao Qing is now one and a half feet long. It would be inconvenient to carry it with you, and if it were released, it would scare the mortals in Zongyuan City.

Therefore, the two did not take Xiaoqing with them when they went out in the morning, but left it at home.

I stayed in Zongyuan City for a whole day before coming back. I was afraid that Xiaoqing would be starved.

In desperation, Liu Xiaolu's light body magic spirit took a quick stride, and in a few breaths he reached the door of the courtyard where they lived.

"Xiaoqing?" Liu Xiaolu opened the door and walked into the yard, calling.

After a while, a long green snake slowly swam out of the grass, raised its pointed triangular head, looked at Liu Xiaolu, who was in a hurry, and said through the voice, "What's the matter with calling me?"

Liu Xiaolu was a little puzzled. The green snake in front of him had a calm expression, but it was not at all like the way he would show his teeth and fight for food with her when he was hungry.

"Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything today?"

"I just ate something casually during the day. I'm already hungry now. Do you want to prepare dinner for me?" As soon as he heard about the food, Xiaoqing immediately blinked his eyes and said.

"Have you eaten during the day? What did you eat during the day?" Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.

Xiao Qing turned around and burrowed into the patch of grass, and soon emerged again with a small earthen jar rolled up by her tail.

Liu Xiaolu took two steps forward and took out the small earthen jar. He saw that the lid on the jar was missing and there was nothing inside. Only the fishy smell coming from the jar revealed the identity of the items it originally contained.

"Where did you get the fish?" Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but become more curious when he saw this.

Xiaoqing shook his head and said proudly, "It's not a fish, it's dried small fish. It was given to me by my new little brother."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Which person, no, what beast is it that thinks you are the boss?"

"Hiss." Xiao Qing spat out the pink letter in dissatisfaction and said angrily, "What's wrong with the lonely beast, you have a little brother?"

"Okay, Brother Divine Beast, just be happy." Liu Xiaolu rolled his eyes helplessly, not bothering to care about which unlucky guy Xiaoqing had deceived.

It's already past meal time, and I'm afraid there won't be any food delivered by the clan. There is a small kitchen in the courtyard, but there are no ingredients at home that can be used for cooking.

Just when Liu Xiaolu was frowning and thinking, Hu Yizhi also walked into the courtyard gate from the outside.

Seeing Hu Yizhi, an idea flashed in Liu Xiaolu's mind, and he suddenly thought of a good idea. He smiled and said, "Father, are you hungry? I'll treat you to roasted bamboo rat."

Hu Yizhi was stunned when he heard this, that bamboo rat was for Xiaoqing to eat, how could a human being eat it?

Xiao Qing next to her even said with a look of disgust, "I don't want to eat this kind of thing!"

"Hey, you two just wait."

Liu Xiaolu waved his hand and walked to a corner of the yard.

She has cleared all the weeds in this area, and there is a waist-high iron cage in the corner. The cage is covered with grass and carrots, and there are seven or eight huge gray bamboo rats in it.

Roasted bamboo rat is a good thing. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender and fragrant. It is much more delicious than pork.

Liu Xiaolu smashed his mouth and prepared to open the cage to catch two bamboo rats and beat them as a tooth sacrifice.

Wait, one, two, three, four, five...eight.

Liu Xiaolu's eyes narrowed and he spoke to Xiao Qing who was following him, "Xiao Qing, I remember there were twelve bamboo rats in the cage. Why are there only eight left now?"

Xiaoqing tilted her head and said nonchalantly, "Today Gu's little brother said he wanted one, so Gu gave him a few."

It’s dried small fish and bamboo rats again. What kind of kid has Xiaoqing deceived?

Glancing at Xiaoqing suspiciously, Liu Xiaolu closed the cage, picked up a bamboo rat weighing two kilograms and walked towards the kitchen.

…

Half an hour later, the aroma of barbecue gradually came from the kitchen.

Soon, Liu Xiaolu was seen walking out of the kitchen with a plate of golden meat, and he said, "Father, Xiaoqing, come and try it."

Hu Yizhi hesitated for a while, obviously unwilling, but he couldn't bear to offend Liu Xiaolu, so he followed her into the main room with a frown.

"Huh, even if you die alone, you won't eat this kind of thing!" Xiao Qing didn't even look at it, turned around and swam up to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard.

Liu Xiaolu handed Hu Yi a pair of bamboo chopsticks, sat down opposite him, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, there is still some salt in the kitchen. Father, please try it quickly. The meat will not taste good after a while."

The bamboo rat meat on the porcelain plate was cut into several pieces by Liu Xiaolu. The original shape could no longer be seen. The skin had become golden after roasting, but it was no different from ordinary barbecue.

Seeing Liu Xiaolu's expectant eyes, Hu Yizhi could only carefully pick up a piece of bamboo rat meat and put it into his mouth.

But as soon as he chewed it twice, the somewhat reluctant expression on his face suddenly changed.

The taste of this meat was actually much more delicious than he expected. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat was smooth. It tasted a bit like roasted suckling pig, but it had a special fresh and sweet taste.

"Is this really a bamboo rat? I didn't expect that although this thing looks ugly, it tastes so delicious!" After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Hu Yizhi couldn't help but say.

"Of course, I just didn't find any other seasonings at home. When someone from the tribe comes to deliver the food tomorrow, ask him for some. It will be more delicious next time." Seeing Hu Yizhi's reaction, Liu Xiaolu felt a little proud.

replied.

Xiao Qing on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree poked out her pointed triangular head from the branches, looked curiously in the direction of the main room, and muttered, "Is the meat of that thing really edible?"

No matter what Xiaoqing thought, the two people in the room had already started using their chopsticks, and the plate of roasted bamboo rat was quickly eaten by the two of them.

"It smells pretty good..." Xiao Qing spat out the message and looked hesitantly at the plate of barbecue on the table again.

As a monster, Xiaoqing has excellent eyesight. He is only a few feet away from the house. He can clearly see at a glance that there are only the last one or two pieces of meat left on the plate, but the two people at the table look like they are still unfinished.
