Zhu Yuanyu fed Maotou with a piece of dried meat.

Maotou ate happily, and the little tail shook vigorously.

After eating, Zhu Yuanyu took out another piece, and the hairy head quickly chewed it again, and the big tongue licked his nose.

Rubbing the thick and fluffy soft hair of the hair head, Zhu Yuanyu lifted the curtain, and a pigeon flew in.

"Good work. Zhu Yuanyu hooked the pigeon's jaw with his index finger, untied the letter tied to the pigeon's feet, and opened it to see.

"Young Master, is it a letter from the master and the lady?" Cui'er said curiously.

Zhu Yuanyu glanced at ten lines, read it quickly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he rolled up the letter again and held it in the palm of his hand, "Well, it's okay at home." ”

Since it was still in the carriage and it was inconvenient to write, Zhu Yuanyu temporarily put the reply aside.

Qi Yi, who was riding a horse outside the car, looked at the sky, got a little closer to the carriage, and said, "Young master, it seems that it is about to rain, there is a temple in front of us, why don't we take shelter from the rain there......"

Zhu Yuanyu poked his head out, "Okay, stop at the temple in front of you." ”

"Okay!" Li Zhuangzhuang slowed down.

The carriage came to a stop in front of the temple.

Zhu Yuanyu got out of the car and looked up, there was a deserted temple in front of him, and the cobwebs on the corner of the door a few meters away could be clearly seen.

When I pushed the door into the temple, it was almost dusty, and there were straws scattered on the ground.

Cui'er frowned, as if she was a little dissatisfied with this place, she probably felt that such a dirty place would wronged the young master.

"It's almost dark, so let's spend the night here tonight. Zhu Yuanyu looked around, there was no disgust on his face, and said to Qi Yi and them.

Now that the young master has spoken, Cui'er can only admit it if she is not satisfied, "Young master, the slave maid will clean up first." As he spoke, he walked to a corner and began to tidy up the place.

Zhu Yuanyu looked up at the roof and found that the tile in the center where he was standing was missing, and if it rained later, it would definitely leak, and the place Cui'er chose happened to be the only one where the tile was not broken.

Cui'er was quick with her hands and feet, cleaned up the debris, swept the things not far away, sorted out a flat and clean ground, spread the collected straw, and then took out a blanket from the carriage and spread it on the straw, and suddenly a simple resting place was formed.

"Young master, you rest, the slave and maid go outside to collect some firewood. ”

Cui'er just found that there were a lot of dead branches on the ground around the deserted temple, which was just right for the fire, and there were pots of white rice and everything on the carriage, so she couldn't always let the young master eat dry food, or hot porridge to warm her stomach.

Although the winter has passed, the weather is still a little wet and cold, especially after the rain, you will catch a cold if you are not careful.

Zhu Yuanyu did not stop Cui'er, but asked Li Zhuangzhuang to accompany her, a little girl is not safe in the wilderness, it is good to have someone to accompany her.

"Young master, then go down and see if you can catch game. ”

Qi Yi didn't know when he turned out the bow and arrow from the carriage, dressed as a hunter.

Zhu Yuanyu nodded, "Go ahead, be careful." After speaking, he patted Maotou's head melon and motioned for it to follow.

Maotou licked Zhu Yuanyu's wrist, twisted his sturdy body, and followed Qi Yi's side, silently. Qi Yi glanced down casually, looked back with an unfathomable face, and slowly disappeared behind the door with a "affectionate" look at each other.

Zhu Yuanyu sat in Cui'er's paved position, her slender legs crossed, staring at the door and starting to daze.

After a while, thunder flashed outside the temple, and raindrops began to fall.

Cui'er walked in with dry firewood, and Li Zhuangzhuang also walked behind Cui'er with dry firewood.

After putting down the dry firewood, the two ran to the carriage and brought the pot and white rice into the temple.

"Oh no! no water!" Cui'er exclaimed suddenly, and then her expression was very annoyed, "I'm stupid!"

Li Zhuangzhuang said on the side: "Is it okay to rain?"

"Yes, why didn't I think of it!" Cui'er smiled again, but immediately hesitated again, "But ......" looked at Zhu Yuanyu with his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would not agree.

The ancient rainwater can still be drunk, as long as it is cooked, Zhu Yuanyu doesn't mind, so he said to Cui'er: "It's okay, just use rainwater." ”

Cui'er happily took the pot to catch the rain.

When the rain became completely heavy, Qi Yi and Maotou finally came back, one person and one dog did not get wet much, and it would dry soon when they were roasted over the fire.

Qi Yi carried the three hares, and said to Zhu Yuanyu with some embarrassment: "Young master, my subordinates hunted these." Because of the sudden rain, which affected the line of sight, and there were only hares, Qi Yi could only hunt three hares.

And Maotou went out for a circle, stained the hair on his body with mud, and wanted to rub Zhu Yuanyu, but he didn't let him.

Zhu Yuanyu looked funny, and Maotou, who looked like he had been hit, hid in the corner and planted mushrooms alone.

Cui'er filled it with water, scooped up the rice, and when Li Zhuangzhuang used the stones he picked up to build a simple stove and lit firewood in it, he put the pot on it and cooked porridge. In addition to white rice and rainwater, there are also some wild vegetables picked by Li Zhuangzhuang and dried meat, one of the dry foods.

Cui'er washed the dishes and chopsticks with rain water and put them aside, and was very understanding and soaked her handkerchief with rainwater to wipe the mud off her body carefully.

seemed to know that Cui'er was helping herself clean up, and her hair was obediently motionless, and when she wiped it, her head instantly turned to Zhu Yuanyu's direction.

"Come here. Zhu Yuanyu smiled and beckoned.

The hairy head grinned and ran over.

Zhu Yuanyu touched its wet fur and looked at Qi Yi, who was sitting by the temple gate cleaning up the hares.

Qi Yi cleaned the three hares very neatly, washed away the blood stains with rainwater, and then walked through the sharpened branches and walked to Li Zhuangzhuang's side.

Li Zhuangzhuang had already set up another fire and roasted three hares with Qi Yi.

The twig was inserted from the hare's mouth and was burned by the two men and set on fire. The internal organs have been disposed of by Qi Yi in advance, and they only need to be roasted with seasonings and eaten.

Zhu Yuanyu looked at the two of them and thought about it, and reminded: "I remember that there seems to be cumin, add some points." ”

Qi Yi responded, looked at the stove, and found his target - Cui'er put all the spices and seasonings in a cloth bag, and the cumin that Zhu Yuanyu wanted was also in it.

Cui'er, who was squatting on the stove staring at the pot, also heard Zhu Yuanyu's words, and immediately took out the porcelain bottle containing cumin and handed it to Qi Yi.

The rain outside the temple became heavier and heavier, and finally the inside of the temple began to leak.

The continuous rain penetrated the hole in the missing tiles and entered the temple, and the ground was instantly splashed with small pieces of water.

Occasionally, a drop of water that splashed too hard shot into the fire, making a "pop" sound.

Fortunately, the rain leakage in the place picked by Li Zhuangzhuang was relatively small, and when the porridge was cooked, the hare also exuded a strong cumin fragrance, and the fire was not extinguished.

The hairy head turned his head to the hare's location, and his tail began to wobble.

"You can't eat this hare with seasoning, it's going to hurt your stomach. Zhu Yuanyu smiled and pressed his hair, "Besides, didn't you just eat it? Why are you hungry again so soon?"

Although he said so, Zhu Yuanyu was reluctant to see the hair, so he tore a hare and tore it to bite it.

Zhu Yuanyu also only ate a hare's hind leg, and then drank a bowl of wild vegetable and dried porridge.

Cui'er saw that her young master had eaten so little, and said with some sorrow: "Young master, you can eat some more, the slave and maid see that you seem to have lost weight recently...... Or is this not to your liking? The slave remembers that there are pastries and preserves in the car, so I'm going to bring them to you!"

"No, it's raining. Zhu Yuanyu stopped her and shook her head, "Give me another bowl of porridge." ”

Zhu Yuanyu was really full, he had already eaten all the pastries when he was in the car, and he was embarrassed to say at this time, so he could only eat another bowl of porridge.

Cui'er happily scooped up half a bowl of porridge and held it in front of Zhu Yuanyu, "Young master, eat it while it's hot, there's still it in the pot!"

So sister, you raised me as a pig-Zhu Yuanyu took the bowl speechlessly, lowered his head and drank.

......

On the road not far from the deserted temple, a horse-drawn carriage came slowly.

Probably found that there was a deserted temple at the front door to shelter from the rain, and the coachman turned back to the car and said, "Master, there is a deserted temple in front, do you want to go in to avoid the rain?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the carriage—

"Well, go ahead. ”

Then another charming female voice spoke, as if complaining, and the driver outside the car felt that his bones were crispy.

"This weather is really annoying~ It's all your fault, how did you find such a carriage, the rain is almost wetting people~ Look! Look! People are wet here, but it's uncomfortable~ Say! How to compensate people~"

The middle-aged male voice seemed to be very useful, not only did he not get angry, but he comforted the owner who made the coquettish female voice in a low voice, and he didn't know how to comfort him, but he actually provoked the owner who made the coquettish female voice to suddenly snort, and brought a little gasp.

The driver tilted his ears to hear more realistically, but the rain was so loud that it interfered with the voices of the people in the car.

Suddenly, a good-looking woman poked her head out and said, "What are you doing with this coachman who is not driving well?

The coachman smiled, his eyes wandered around, and inadvertently glanced at the woman's slightly bulging chest, and suddenly felt dry mouth and fever.

The woman seemed to know what he was thinking, smiled softly, pointed to the front and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, the deserted temple has arrived." After speaking, he glanced at the coachman lightly and got into the car.

Soon, the carriage came to the deserted temple.

Inside the temple, Zhu Yuanyu and others heard the sound and looked outside the temple.

"It looks like someone is coming. ”
