A quiet but vibrant forest.

A house built deep in the forest with brick walls covered with evergreen vines.

A garden where flowers and plants can grow freely.

Yellowed stone tables and chairs beneath the pergolas.

Two elderly people.

Luo stood in front of the wooden fence door in the courtyard, looked at the house that had not changed in the slightest for several years, and sighed: "It's still the same. ”

March couldn't understand Law's feelings, but she looked at her surroundings and felt a hint of affection.

In seven days, her injuries had recovered, but fortunately she avoided them at that time and did not eat the whole move "Shock Fist" head-on, otherwise she might have been seriously injured or even died.

Click.

The sound of slightly hurried footsteps came from the end of the winding path.

A man in a black suit with pale hair walked over quickly, but it was Lin Nie's butler Tianhu.

He came to the fence gate, opened the wooden door, and said respectfully, "You are here." ”

He saw March, who had come with Law, but didn't ask much, for the simple reason that it was the one Luo had brought with him.

When Luo heard this, he said helplessly: "Don't use honorific titles. ”

Hearing this, the day tiger smiled, did not say anything, but leaned sideways, and gestured to invite in.

Luo shook his head slightly, and led March up the winding path towards the main entrance of the house.

Open the main entrance with ease and enter the main hall on the first floor, which has a quaint atmosphere.

Luo glanced back at the day tiger and asked, "What about Lin Nie?"

Daytiger replied: "On the balcony on the second floor." ”

Law nodded, and led March up the mottled staircase, creaking and crunching.

The balcony on the second floor where Lin Nie was always was right in the direction of the other end of the main entrance of the house.

Soon, the two came to the second floor, and through a corridor, they saw Lin Nie sitting on a chair with his back to the two.

"Sit. ”

Lin Nie heard the sound, slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to the chair prepared beside him, and on the round table in the middle, two cups of fragrant hot tea had already been poured.

Law and March walked over and sat down in their chairs.

March knows Lin Nie, but he will not be restrained.

Lin Nie quietly looked at Luo's changes, and had a lot of things to say and ask in his heart, and after a while, he just said, "It's good to be back." ”

Luo smiled slightly, took out a long stone box from the black cat space, and gently placed it on the round table.

"What is this?"

Lin Nie turned his chair slightly and looked at the stone box.

"Nitolomi. Luo said the name of the item in the stone box.

Lin Nie's eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, she knew the five major hopes she knew, and knew that Nitolomi was the longevity food that countless people dreamed of.

"It's only half a plant, but the effect is still there. Law opened the box.

Lin Nie looked at the golden rice in the stone box, and didn't expect that the true face of the longevity food growing in the swampy area would be golden rice.

She raised her eyes to look at Luo, then reached out and pushed the stone box forward, and said lightly: "I don't need it." ”

"No, you do. Luo pushed back the stone box, resolute.

March didn't know what Nitolomi was, and it was strange to watch the two of them push each other.

Seeing that Lin Nie didn't mean to accept it at all, Luo looked serious and persuaded him: "I will go to the Dark Continent again, I don't know when I will leave, I don't know when I will come back." ”

"If you still have hope in your heart, take it honestly. ”

Lin Nie couldn't help but be silent when she heard this, she knew what Luo meant, it was nothing more than that she was worried that after she came back for the second time, she would die of old age at home because her life limit had arrived.

After a while, she no longer shirked and said, "How many people dream of something, you are generous." ”

Luo Feng smiled lightly: "If I need it, I will get it again." ”

A light sentence that fell on the ears of those in the know is not ordinary arrogance at all.

Lin Nie looked at Luo in a daze, and for some reason, a sense of loss arose in his heart.

If he had been more determined at the beginning, how could he still have something to look forward to when he was getting old, and even rely on his juniors.

The time that has passed cannot be reversed in any way.

Luo sensed Lin Nie's loss, silently closed the stone box, and then took out the ingredients from the black cat space, put them on the round table, and immediately squeezed the teacup aside.

A bright red fruit with buds ready to be released.

A translucent mushroom with snow streaks.

A piece of meat that is half emerald green, half snow-white, resembling mahjong.

A basket covered with rocks, basketball-sized stone clams.

In addition to these, there are also a few fire-streaked eggs.

This is not the best of many ingredients, but it is an ingredient that retains its flavor 100% on its own.

Before returning, he also went to the center of the underground world to hunt a turkey, but after being forced back by the magma wave many times, he never found any trace of the turkey, so he had no choice but to give up.

After taking out these ingredients, Luo smiled and said, "It's all ingredients brought back from the Dark Continent. ”

Lin Nie looked at these few distinctive ingredients, and his body trembled slightly.

When Luo pushed the longevity food in front of her, she didn't react, but when Luo put the ingredients brought back from the Dark Continent in front of her, she lost her temper.

For countless days and nights, even in my dreams, I wanted to cook and taste the ingredients of the Dark Continent myself.

She got up from her chair and stretched out her trembling old hand to gently caress the ingredients.

Unconsciously, it was old tears.

Luo looked at Lin Nie, who was out of shape, and could understand the feeling of making up for regret.

Whether it's Nitolomi or the ingredients that are specially selected to be brought back, it is Luo Zuo's way of reciprocating.

He has always been like this, not to mention that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and he has never been stingy with his own people.

It wasn't until Lin Nie calmed down his excitement that he didn't directly take care of the ingredients, and wanted to be fully prepared before cooking, showing a high degree of importance.

You must know that since Lin Nie has become old, few people in the outside world have tasted her craftsmanship again, only old friends Nitro and Maha, who only have the opportunity to taste it once a year or two.

Cooking the ingredients of the Dark Continent is probably one of the most important moments in Lin Nie's life, and before he is ready, he will also invite his old friends over.

She shares Luo's point of view that the essence of good food lies in sharing.

On the same day, Luo and March stayed overnight, I don't know if Lin Nie did it on purpose, and said that the extra rooms were used to stack up sundries, so there was only one room available.

As a result, Law and March could only live together and sleep in the same bed.

Lin Nie's house has a characteristic, that is, the room is very large, relative, and the bed is also very large.

The night is deep, and when you listen closely, you can hear the faint chirping of insects outside.

On the big bed, Luo was lying on the left, and March was lying on the right.

"Have you been to the Dark Continent in the past few years?" Marchie listened during the day, only to know that Luo may have gone to a place called the Dark Continent.

"Hmm. ”

With his arms resting on the back of his head and staring at the ceiling, he could feel the gaze from the side, recalling the days when he was first taken back by March.

March looked at the side of Law's face and was silent.

At this time, Luo Hu turned sideways, met March's gaze, and teased: "March, I have something to confess to you, although I still don't admit it." ”

"What?" said March, also sideways, confused.

"I'll admit that I did accidentally rip off your clothes that night. Luo said seriously.

In the futon, Ma Qi suddenly kicked out, but Luo held it with his hand.

"Let go. March's heart beat involuntarily.

This night, they maybe, maybe, maybe, will grow?
