Douluo's Gourd

Chapter 632 Border Town

Shitou Town, a not very big town, is located on the western border of the Xingluo Empire and has a population of about a thousand.

Although this is a town, it is located in a remote area and no one will come here for a year or two. The mountain road is blocked by the primeval forest, which is inhabited by poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, making it very dangerous.

Even though the nearest village is Yan Village, which is only a dozen miles away, people from both sides may not meet each other for months.

However, just today, a donkey cart outside Stone Town passed through the Infinite Mountains, broke through the territories of various ferocious creatures, and arrived here safely.

The people driving the donkey cart seemed to be a brother and sister. The younger brother looked very young, wearing a straw hat. He was about fifteen years old, with a handsome appearance.

My sister is fair-skinned and beautiful. Even the prettiest girl in town is far inferior to her.

The two men had empty hands, but their clothes were clean and tidy. They also brought an old donkey that was panting because it was pulling people.

The residents of Stone Town were surprised and puzzled, as there were rarely outsiders coming here on weekdays. Even if there were outsiders, they were mostly lost travelers or peddlers who came to sell small items.

I don’t know what these two people are here for.

The donkey cart swayed and stopped in front of the courtyard of the only tavern and hotel in the town.

The three-story wooden building is the tallest building in the town. There is a wooden sign shaped like a beer cup hanging at the door, and the paint on it has faded.

Without waiting for the donkey cart to stop, Nitia rolled over and landed steadily on the ground, muttering, "We're finally here. I can't wait to lie in the bathtub full of bubbles and enjoy the hot bath."

"I just took a bath yesterday." Wang Xiaofeng complained in a low voice.

"You don't understand. Taking a bath in the wild is completely different from taking a bath in the bathroom."

Wang Xiaofeng, who didn't understand what was different, obediently pulled the donkey cart to the backyard and parked it, then untied the donkey and tied it to the stable, and filled the old friend's trough with nutritious feed.

The old donkey, exhausted from all the physical exertion, could not wait to bury his head in the trough.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. No one is going to snatch it from you." Wang Xiaofeng patted it gently on the back. The pure soul power flowed through its body, helping it relieve its fatigue.

By the time Wang Xiaofeng entered the tavern, half an hour had passed.

Although the pub was open to the public in the morning, there was not a single customer inside.

It is still rare to see people coming to the pub to drink early in the morning. At least it is around noon that the pub will slowly become lively.

There was no sign of Nitia on the first floor. She must have checked into a room and was taking a leisurely bath in the bathroom.

Wang Xiaofeng carefully looked at the interior decoration of the pub. The only thing that had something to do with wine was a few bottles of unlabeled wine and a row of glasses on the shelf behind the bar.

The overall style makes people feel more like a family restaurant than a pub.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a tall and fat man in a thick coat squeezed in backwards with his butt arched and small steps.

In his hand he was dragging a heavy fishing net, on which hung several large, plump fish.

"Sobal, Little Sil, where are they? Where have they gone?" A hoarse voice echoed in the tavern.

After he yelled, he found that no one came to help him. He turned around and saw Wang Xiaofeng sitting at the bar next to him looking at him. Their eyes met.

"A strange guest that I have never seen before came to the tavern so early?"

"I'm the owner and cook of this pub. Everyone calls me Old Goyle."

Old Gore put down the fishing net in his hand and asked enthusiastically: "It seems that you haven't had breakfast yet? Do you need me to prepare it for you?"

He pointed to the fish in the net and said, "Freshly caught salmon, definitely fresh enough."

Wang Xiaofeng glanced at the big fish still struggling in the fishing net and nodded, "We just arrived in town and indeed haven't had breakfast yet. I believe your cooking skills will not disappoint us."

"Haha, I won't let you down."

Old Gaoer was struggling to drag the fishing net. Wang Xiaofeng helped him and the two of them worked together to move the fishing net to the backyard.

Old Gore sharpened his knife and walked towards the kitchen with the largest fish in his hand.

There was a creaking sound from the stairs, and a silver-haired woman came down, cursing in a harsh tone: "Damn old Gore, I can hear your hoarse voice howling from the third floor."

Seeing Wang Xiaofeng, her expression lightened up a little. "You two siblings' room is 305. There is only one key. It's with your sister."

"We are not." Wang Xiaofeng opened his mouth to explain, but the woman had already walked into the kitchen to help, cursing.

Well, this isn't the first time I've been misunderstood like this.

Wang Xiaofeng rubbed his face.

With someone's help, Old Gore cooked much faster. After a while, the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen.

The appetizing aroma filled the entire restaurant.

Nitia came down with wet hair. Apparently the fragrance from downstairs had spread to upstairs, and the girl was so tempted by the smell that she didn't even want to take a bath.

"The dishes are here. Come and try my, old Gore's cooking. I'm not bragging, but if we only talk about cooking skills in this town, I'm second to none and no one dares to claim to be first." Old Gore placed the plate in his hand in front of the two men.

Simple fried fish fillet, fruit pie made of some unknown fruit, and a bowl of fresh fish and radish soup.

Nitia couldn't wait to pick up the fish fillet and take a bite.

The slightly browned flour wraps around the smooth interior, but you get a double enjoyment in one bite.

Fish sashimi is delicious when eaten raw, and frying it further enhances its deliciousness. The crispiness in the mouth and the tenderness inside form a wonderful layer of flavor.

"It's delicious." Nitia tilted her head back and breathed in hot air.

"It's delicious, isn't it? The fish used for today's fish fillets is the fattest salmon in the migratory season. You can't eat such delicious fish meat at other times."

Nitia swallowed her food and asked, "Migration? What is that?"

"Little girl, you don't even know the migration period. You must be from the inland. Migration is indeed rare in the inland."

Old Gaoer pulled a chair over and sat down, talking freely: "To put it simply, in early autumn every year, fish and turtles in the sea will go back up the river to the large lakes inland to lay eggs. This process is called the migratory period."

"There is a big lake about ten kilometers away from the town. Many fish come here to spawn every year. These two days are not the peak time for fish. After a week, if you just throw a net into the lake, you will get at least several thousand kilograms of fish."

"It still weighs several thousand pounds. If you dare to sail the boat into the lake, the Ichthyosaur King will be the first to swallow you." The woman who was wiping the table with a rag couldn't help but interrupt.

"Ichthyosaur King?"

"A black fish that has become a spirit. It bullies the weak and fears the strong, and it holds grudges. It is the overlord of Moyang Lake." Old Gaoer shook his head and refused to say more. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot at the hands of the Fish Dragon King.

Not long after, some guests came into the tavern one after another.

Because the two of them seemed to be somewhat out of place with them in terms of both their dress and appearance, everyone who came in would subconsciously look at them.

Although there was no offense in their looks, the curious glances from time to time were a bit annoying, so after they finished eating they went straight upstairs and back to their room.

As soon as Wang Xiaofeng entered the room, before he had time to appreciate the furnishings in the room, he was thrown onto the bed by Nitia.

I've been playing dnf mobile games and Mingchao these days. After a deep experience, I'm back to update.
