It rained all night.

Zhou Li woke up with a soft blanket on his body, and the wooden bed was a little hard, which made him understand at once that this was not at home, but strangely he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

As soon as he turned his head, Huai Xu sat by the window, looking out of the window.

Xu heard Zhou Li's movement, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Li: "You woke up so late today." ”

"Really?"

Zhou Li took out his mobile phone and saw that it was eight o'clock.

It's really late.

His routine is similar to that of high school, and he wakes up at six o'clock these days at home.

"I slept so well last night. ”

Looking back now, he did sleep well last night, and when he woke up, he felt like he was resurrected, and probably only after really feeling it could he experience it.

It seems that the noise of the rain on the earth and the noise of the city are two things that help people sleep.

Huai Xu looked back at the window again and said, "It's not raining, and the host's family has started to cook mutton soup and set up a rack for roasting mutton." ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Li hurriedly got up.

He felt that he was sleeping here, and it was not good for his master to be busy outside.

At least keep an eye on it yourself......

Seeing him get up, Huai Xu also hurriedly jumped down from the window: "They have all eaten breakfast, I'm embarrassed to go over to eat if you don't wake up." ”

Zhou Li: ......

A simple wash takes ten minutes.

Zhou Li came downstairs and saw Zheng Zhilan, he was very embarrassed and said, "I slept so well last night, I don't know why, I woke up late." ”

Zheng Zhilan smiled slightly: "I'm afraid you won't be used to sleeping, so let's have breakfast." ”

"Good. ”

Breakfast was on the table.

The two plates of steamed buns are small steamed buns, and the color is very beautiful, red and green, just like the ones sold in the supermarket, which makes Zhou Li suspect that he is not in a remote mountain village but in a scenic resort hotel.

In addition, there are two bowls of porridge, a plate of rotten tofu, and a plate of kimchi, which are made by lotus white.

Small plates are placed on the table.

The table is also clean and free of clutter.

Unexpectedly exquisite.

Huai Xu has been holding back for a long time, and he ate it immediately.

"This kimchi is delicious!"

"Spicy, crunchy, and a little sour!"

"This porridge is so strange, it always feels like it has a special taste, and it's delicious!"

"Zhou Li, I don't think there's anything wrong with you being with her now. Huai Xu took the time to say to Zhou Li, and after thinking about it, he admonished again, "But you still can't delay your studies." ”

“...... Eat yours. ”

This monster is really annoying.

After eating, he walked to the kitchen with a bowl, white soup was boiling in the pot, and after consulting Zheng Zhilan, he took a basin and scooped water with a melon scoop to the dishwashing table to clean.

He turned slightly sideways and could see Zheng Zhilan in charge of the stove and the harmony of the fire, which cooperated harmoniously. The clay stove burned branches one by one, about the thickness of a wrist, and the crackling sound from the stove made Zhou Li seem to have returned to his childhood, he vaguely remembered that it was very labor-saving to burn this kind of firewood, just send a piece to the stove from time to time.

Zheng Zhilan stirred in the pot and whispered: "Qinghe went out for a walk this morning, the creek rose and the fish baskets were washed away, and I found it after looking for a while." There are a lot of fish in it, as well as loaches, crucian carp is just used to make soup, and we can grill and eat the rest at noon. ”

"Is there a creek over here?"

"Well, what flows down the mountain, all the way down the mountain, right over there. There is a lot of fish in it, which we often catch and eat, the small ones can be fried or grilled, and the large ones can be cooked. It's just that the fish seasoning has to be bought at the bottom of the mountain, and it is troublesome to make it yourself. ”

"That's good. ”

"Last night I went out with chopsticks and caught two hares, which seemed to be in pairs, and today I have roast lamb chops, roast fish and roast rabbit at noon. ”

"The dog?"

"Yes, it's the only one that can catch it, and the rest follow it as porters. ”

"That's amazing. ”

Zhou Li put it in the cupboard after washing the dishes, and did not leave, but stood aside and chatted with Zheng Zhilan.

I heard Zheng Zhilan say that she originally had ten dogs, one of which was raised when she was very young, and died when she was old, and now the remaining nine are still young. They are very intelligent and are usually led by the rhubarb, who is the oldest and the local dog, but has different leaders in different situations.

When herding sheep, everyone listens to the command of steamed buns.

Occasionally, a little ferocious wild animal or even a wild boar will come down the mountain, and at this time, the guard dog will take the lead and scold them away.

When catching rabbits, everyone follows the chopsticks.

I also heard Zheng Zhilan talk about the practice of mutton soup, the mutton soup here pays attention to the milky white and thick soup color, you have to use crucian carp to boil white, and there are also milk powder. Crucian carp soup is an authentic practice, and the fresh words are fish and sheep, but she ate it once in the city with milk powder, and she felt that it was not bad to have a faint milk flavor.

Zhou Li felt very calm chatting with her.

Maybe it's because she's always soft-spoken, or maybe the content of the chat is very simple.

Crucian carp and mutton bones boiled for a long time, and Zheng Zhilan took a bowl and handed it to Zhou Li.

Zhou Li picked up the bowl and blew it cold.

One bite down, fresh and thick.

"Delicious!"

"So be it. ”

"Good. ”

Halfway through the morning, Qinghe lit a fire in the courtyard, next to the rabbit and lamb chops, Huaixu sat on the small bench and carefully skewered the small fish. Zhou Li thought that Huai Xu's mind was only fighting and running away in addition to eating, and he had never seen him do such a fine job, so he felt novel and took a few more looks.

The meat is placed on the grill and slowly roasted so that it is oily and the aroma overflows little by little.

The two of them chatted while barbecue, but most of them were Zhou Li and Zheng Zhilan talking, Qinghe didn't talk much, and Huai Xu only knew when to eat, and asked several times.

At some point, the dog also ran back.

After Meals –

Huai Xu lay on the side, picking his teeth with a sharp grass, and he said to Zhou Li lazily: "I thought that life in this mountain would be very boring and boring, but it turned out to be not at all!"

Zhou Li glanced at him: "Have you been impressed?"

Huai Xu smiled, and then said: "The sun is out in the afternoon, you should study with that little girl, and when the sun is shining, I will go to the mountains with Qinghe to chop wood." ”

"Where to cut?"

"喏~"

Huai Xu pouted forward: "Opposite." ”

Zhou Li looked up, the mountains were wet after the rain, the sun shone on the mist rising, and the clouds were deep and nowhere to go.

The evil god tossed through the clouds.

Huai Xu casually threw the sharp grass on the ground, and said hatefully: "When my strength is all restored, I will definitely go to him to fight!"

"Can you beat it?"

"Hehe, don't underestimate me!" Huai Xu said, "Don't look at me without wings, I can run faster than him!"

“......”

At this time, Zheng Zhilan had already taken out the bookcase, and Zhou Li hurriedly ran over and cooperated with Qinghe to divide the book into three stacks.

The three stacks of books are from high to low, and are basically in the shape of a ladder.

Then Zheng Zhilan pointed to the highest stack and said: "These are the basics, it seems like a lot, but there is a lot of nonsense in it, there are a lot of repetitive introductions, and some records of previous history. ”

"The remaining two piles are used in two different ways. ”

"Because demons are alien races, they are invaders, and there was even a full-scale war between humans and demons a long time ago, so both of these methods of use are used for attacking. ”

"I don't know any other way to do it. ”

"Is there a big difference between these two?" Zhou Li looked at two stacks of books, one stack was more than half a meter high, there were more than a dozen books, and a stack only had two books, which was still very thin.

"Yes. Zheng Zhilan pointed to the tall stack, "This pile mainly describes an attack method called "Golden Silk", and those two are the most basic and primitive, compressing spiritual power and then gushing out to achieve the attack effect. The thickness you see is basically a representation of how difficult it is to learn. The skill of the golden thread is very high, correspondingly, if you learn the depths, the flexibility, functionality and power will be very high, but if you practice for too short a time, you may not be able to use it at all, or one or two of them is not stronger than directly releasing spiritual power. ”

"How hard is the golden thread?"

"I've been studying for eight years, and it's expensive, and it needs to be introduced with high-purity gold. Zheng Zhilan said.

"Zhilan is extremely talented. Kiyowa added as he stood at the door.

"Then where did you get your money?" asked Huai Xu.

"Sometimes I go to the county or Yancheng to help people deal with some things related to monsters, usually just to mediate in the middle, and also go down the mountain to buy by the way. Zheng Zhilan said, "Of course, most of them have nothing to do with demons, and I will charge a little less for these." ”

"That's ......" Zhou Li nodded, "Psychological counseling should also be charged." ”

"Learn that easy!" Huai Xu encouraged beside him, "That difficult one sounds like a headache!" Zhou Li told you, you have to believe in yourself, as soon as the spiritual power in your body gushes out, no matter what bells and whistles it is, just bulldoze it!"

"Good!"
