Hu Ran stared at Ning Du who was immersed in eating, as if he could find something new on his face.

Ning Du held a large bowl of offal noodles, with a thick layer of reddish oil floating on it, a sufficient amount of offal covered into a point, and scattered green onions as garnishes. With such a big bowl of beef offal noodles, Ning Du only took less than a stick of incense to eat it cleanly.

"What are you looking at?" Ning Du wiped the red oil from his mouth.

Hu Ran moved his gaze, glanced at the beam, retracted it, and said slowly: "It's nothing." ”

Ning Du snorted and poured himself a glass of water.

Last night was either fighting, or on the way to fight, he almost lost his life several times in a row, that is, Ning Du's body can withstand such a toss, and only people like him can still live without resting.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" asked Hu Ran pretending to be nonchalant.

"What, why do I have to report to you?"

"Then do I want to report to you when I go out in the future?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why didn't you report it to me?"

Ning Du raised the water glass, poured out the water inside, and said, "See, the water flows out of the cup, which is irreversible, just like I asked you to report that it is irreversible." ”

Hu Ran thought about it, and obviously felt that what Ning Du said didn't make sense, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

Ning Du laughed at Hu Ran and said, "Why didn't you learn from Bian Jiaoxi today?"

"Bian Jiaoxi is not here. ”

Ning Du couldn't help but think about the strength of the Five Realms of Heavenly Destiny displayed by Bian Shihan last night, and he also thought of the young man holding the sword.

"This man's attainments in kendo far surpass my ......"

All along, Ning Du has defeated the strong with the weak, and he has far surpassed his peers, but this time he has encountered a peer who is far beyond him, whether it is the realm or the way of the sword and the instinct to fight, it is as if a mountain suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of a person who has always been on the road, a towering and feared mountain.

"Young master, what do you want?"

"Huh?"

"What do you want?"

"Oh, I was thinking - what's going to eat tonight. ”

"That's ......" Hu Ran's gaze changed back and forth, and said, "Young Master, why don't we go out to eat tonight?"

Ning Du almost laughed, he could be regarded as knowing the purpose of Hu Ran's questioning at the beginning, probably because he had been at home alone for a few days, and he was angry in his heart and wanted to go out.

"And where do you want to go?"

"It's all right!"

Ning Du thought for a while and said, "Then go to Guoan Temple." ”

"yes! I haven't seen Shinobi in a long time. ”

"Forget it. Ning Du denied it again. It is not suitable for him to come into contact with cultivators right now, and at this time he has to find a very peaceful state of mind, otherwise it will be a mess. Mountaineers must not be in a hurry. "Ah?!" Hu Ran looked at Ning Du with an incomprehensible expression.

Ning Du lowered his eyebrows and looked at Hu Ran, and said, "How was the basket of chickens last time?"

"It's delicious!" Hu Ran blurted out.

"I didn't eat it. Ning Du said angrily.

Hu Ran rolled his eyes, and first said in his heart: "It's not because I didn't eat it." Then he said happily: "Then buy a basket of chickens to see Sister Xi'er!"

"Hmm. ”

A few days ago, some new houses were built on Confucius Street, which was almost destroyed a few days ago, and it looked quite ugly under the mixture of old and new. When Ning Du and Hu Ran arrived, it was not dark yet, and there were not many people, so they didn't queue up to buy it, and went around to buy some other things and went to Xi'er's house.

Knock knock.

"Who?" for so long, Xi'er had been sitting alone at home, and no one had ever come, and when there was a knock on the door, her heart was inevitably a little uneasy.

"It's me, Sister Xi'er!"

Xi'er heard Hu Ran's voice and immediately ran out and opened the door.

"Sister Xi'er, let's come to your house for dinner!" Hu Ran lifted the things in his hand, and then happily threw himself into Xi'er's arms.

"I'm going to cook!" Xi'er picked up Hu Ran and took everything into the kitchen.

Ning Du walked in with a smile, looked at the renovated courtyard, found a stool and sat at the door. At this time, he picked up the shelf of the "young master" and waited quietly for the meal to start.

Xi'er hurriedly lit the lamp, and hurriedly lit a fire, Hu Ran was also hurriedly looking for dishes and chopsticks, and the two people who were already in a hurry got together and there was a constant sound of breaking.

Ning Du listened to the chaotic voice, and his mood calmed down a little.

"Young master, it's time to eat!" Hu Ran leaned into Ning Du's ear and shouted loudly.

"It's not that he can't hear it, why are you shouting so loudly!" Xi'er said with a smile while setting the dishes and chopsticks.

"Young master, he doesn't know what he's thinking, he can't come back to his senses if he doesn't shout loudly to scare him!" Hu Ran returned to the table proudly, and immediately picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

Ning Du glared at Hu Ran, also walked to the table, and after sitting down, he suddenly leaned into Hu Ran's ear and shouted loudly: "Is it delicious?!"

Hu Ran shrank in fright, his eyes were full of flowers, and he almost spit out the meat in his mouth, and when he reacted, his stomach was full of fire, and he wanted to beat Ning Du but couldn't, so he had to continue to eat after his hands danced wildly.

Xi'er laughed on the side, and kept serving Ning Du and Hu Ran vegetables.

After the chaotic sound of dishes and chopsticks gradually subsided, Xi'er blew out the lights in turn and retreated into the room.

Ning sat alone at the door, not thinking of sleeping.

"Is there something on your mind?" asked Xi'er softly as she stood in the doorway with the lamp.

Ning Du glanced back at Xi'er, smiled, and said, "Sister Xi'er, you are so good-looking." ”

Xi'er's face turned red, and she didn't know what to say. The red and yellow lights stand on Xi'er's face, the color is extraordinarily warm, and only such warmth can block the cold of winter, and only the existence of such people in the family can be warm enough.

"Sister Xi'er, you don't have to worry about the young master, we slept well. Hu Ran was already lying on the bed, waiting to whisper to Xi'er.

Xi'er glanced back at Hu Ran, then at Ning Du, put the lamp on the ground, and said, "It's cold outside, go to bed early, you keep the lamp, don't knock it." ”

The lamp shone from the ground, illuminating half of Xi'er's body, and the other half of her body was hidden in the darkness, and her face became a little faint, like a dew drop about to disappear.

"Hmm. Ning Du looked at Xi'er and answered.

The lamp burned quietly on the ground, and there was a whisper in the room behind him, and Ning Du closed his eyes.

"His sword is faster than mine. ”

"His realm is higher than mine. ”

"His reflexes to fight are not weaker than mine. ”

"There is no possibility of winning......"

Ning Du can maintain absolute rationality to look at any problem, but he can't control his desire to win. No matter who the opponent is, he will win until he stands at the top of this world.

Ever since he saw the sword-hugging boy, Ning Du has been suppressing his desire to win, otherwise it will affect the rescue of those children. Now he must also be careful to maintain his state of mind, and must not let the appearance of a mountain disturb his heart to move forward, in which case he has no chance of winning.

"Still no chance of winning......"

Ning Du looked up at the sky and exhaled a breath of white mist. No matter what method he came up with, there was no possibility of defeating the sword-hugging boy, not even the possibility of dying together, the gap between the two was too huge.

Looking back at the light next to him that was about to go out, Ning Du reached out and tested the temperature, with a smile on his face.

"The lights are going out, I'll go refill some oil." Xi'er opened the door and said.

"Sister Xi'er, aren't you sleeping yet?" Ning Du asked with a smile.

"Ah, just woke up. It's so cold outside, even if you sit, you can sit inside. Xi'er stepped forward and grabbed Ning Du's hand and pulled him into the house. "After staying outside for so long, how do you see your hands being cold?" Xi'er hurriedly rubbed Ning Du's hands again.

"Sister Xi'er, you are so good-looking. Ning Du said sincerely.

Xi'er's face turned red again, and she said, "Hurry up and go to bed." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xi'er blew out the light, groped her way into bed, and didn't fall asleep immediately, looking at the dark beams and whispering, "Ning Du, are there only two people, you and Hu Ran?"

"Hmm. ”

"What about your parents?"

"Nope. Ning Du said it very lightly, as if it was not a very important thing.

Xi'er didn't speak for a long time, and then asked as if she remembered, "Is it still cold?"

Ning Du didn't speak, as if he had fallen asleep.

The three of them all seemed to have fallen asleep, like an ordinary family.
