The leaders of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism died on the same day, and Buddhism and Taoism are not as painful as ordinary people for death, in their opinion, Yuan Hui is driving the crane west to become an immortal, and the wisdom and Zen master's merits are all good deaths.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi, who lived in seclusion in the countryside of Fengyang, had no idea what the death of these two masters had to do with them. In the humble yard, Zhu Di stirred the thin yellow mud and coarse salt, smeared the white duck egg shell, rolled it in the soft grass ash, and the yellow mud duck egg immediately turned into the appearance of a long-haired "kiwi", and then stacked it in the pickle jar.

Xu Miaoyi mixed half a jar of marinade with plant ash, lime, salt, huangdan powder and coarse tea leaves, and threw a frame of duck eggs into it.

If nothing else, a month later, Zhu Di's salted duck eggs and Xu Miaoyi's pickled preserved eggs were fully cooked.

At dusk, the two of them sealed two jars full of duck eggs, and the side dishes to accompany the meal were ready, and they jumped into the river to wash off the dust from head to toe, covered with mud and sweat.

Soon after the two left the thatched hut, the group rode to the courtyard halfway up the mountainside, the half-height fence courtyard wall was crawling with beans, melons and vegetables, etc., a chicken nest was built in the backyard, a hen had just laid an egg, feeling the gaze of this group of strangers, the hen was guarding the warm egg, and the tail feathers were erected, making a cooing warning sound.

Ji Gang, who led the way, said diligently: "Grandpa Ma, this is it." It's great that you guys came to pick up King Yan, we can also get wet, follow you back to the capital, to be honest, we've been eating vegetarians for the past few months, let's set off tonight, I'll arrive in Fengyang County tomorrow morning, I'll buy ten drawers of xiaolongbao to eat. ”

When he said Xiaolong Baozi, Ji Gang's saliva overflowed, overflowing from the corners of his mouth, dripping into a crystal straight line.

How did this kind of superb product choose into Jinyiwei? Mao Xiang's vision is not very good! Ma Sanbao said: "The house is darkly lit, it seems that His Highness is not at home." ”

Ji Gang said: "The lamp oil in the countryside is expensive, and I am reluctant to light the lamp, so I fall asleep after dark, and Ma Gonggong knocks on the door, maybe they are all at home." ”

Ma Sanbao knocked on the door and no one answered, and asked, "Where did Your Highness go?" ”

Ji Gang said in embarrassment: "This ...... We don't know, Your Highness doesn't like us to watch, and my leg has been caught in the trap by a beast. Besides, this poor and remote place is almost isolated from the world, at most there are a few people who walk the streets and alleys, the people are simple, stealing chickens and dogs is a big deal, Your Highness is very safe here, and we don't follow it all the time. ”

Ma Sanbao said: "Then let's go in and wait for King Yan to come back." ”

The chai door was not locked, and Ma Sanbao wondered: "Although there are no traitors here, but the heart of defense is indispensable, His Royal Highness King Yan does not lock the door, you should send a guard dog to guard the house." ”

Ji Gang said with a smile: "King Yan raised a pair of big white geese to look after the house. ”

"Can the goose still take care of the house?" Ma Sanbao didn't believe it and pushed the door in.

Ji Gang's face changed greatly, "Father-in-law Ma be careful!" This big white goose is fiercer than a dog! ”

As soon as the words fell, two white shadows came with wings, their slender necks were like writhing snake bodies, Ma Sanbao was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back, the slender legs of the white shadow and the wings were like tigers, and he quickly caught up with Ma Sanbao, and pecked his neck!

"Oh my ass!" Halfway up the mountain, Ma Sanbao's screams echoed.

The dark river water of the summer night was shrouded in a thin mist, Zhu Di finished bathing, his wet hair was scattered on his shoulders casually, he built a bonfire on the bank, next to the pile of half a bundle of wheat he had just cut from the ground, the golden and full ears of wheat were roasted in the fire, bursting out the unique aroma of food.

The wheat is roasted with the bran and has a unique flavor, and it is a delicious snack in the countryside. Zhu Di watched the farmers resting in the fields roasting wheat, and he also learned this crude craft.

Zhu Di gently blew off the floating ash on the roasted wheat, took a grain of roasted wheat into his mouth and chewed it, so fragrant that he almost bit off his tongue.

The wheat was grown by him, so it was so sweet that no delicacy could compare to a handful of roasted wheat in his hand. Zhu Di chewed wheat and looked at the woman in white floating in the middle of the river, her eyes were hotter than flames.

It is Xu Miaoyi, she has excellent water nature, lying on her back in the river, just a little movement of her hands and feet, she can always float on the water without sinking, the wide moon-white robe is swollen by the river, with the light movement of her hands and feet, the white robe spreads, stretches, she is like a fish with wings, flying in the water.

Waist-length long hair spread out, dancing like water plants in a river with the rhythm of ripples, wearing a crown of willow branches on his head, pinned to a few pale yellow water lilies, this crown is Zhu Di's "masterpiece", but at the moment he is very jealous of this handmade gift: the flower crown can easily kiss her forehead, but he can't.

The moonlight pours down, softening people's eyes, no matter what they look at, they are covered with a layer of divine light, and even the willows on the riverbank and the moss on the pebbles are stained with fairy energy, which is a landscape that can be painted. Not to mention the beauty in the water, she floated on the water like an elf, and a breeze blew, as if she could ride the wind and run away to the moon in the next moment.

Zhu Di shouted: "The wheat is baked, come here." ”

The beauty in the water smiled: "I haven't swam enough, go to the bottom of the water and touch a fish before coming up." ”

"Miaoyi?" Zhu Di was in a hurry, jumped into the river and swam in the direction of Xu Miaoyi's diving.

There is a patch of aquatic plants growing here, and there are nameless flowers such as white and pink blooming in the aquatic plants, Zhu Di was worried that Miaoyi was entangled in the aquatic plants at the bottom of the water, so he sank under the water and swam around looking for it.

His left hand was suddenly grabbed by a person, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and struggled to pull Xu Miaoyi to tread water and swim up, and his lips were blocked by a soft object in an instant.

The two hugged and kissed each other under the water, a pair of young and flexible bodies intertwined like aquatic plants, writhing, inseparable, until they reached the limit of holding their breath, they surfaced together, gasping for breath.

The ancient trees are shady, like two high walls, the vines and thorns on the shore are entangled, the soft reeds on the waterfront are fluttering in the evening breeze, sending bursts of lotus fragrance, and unknown insects are singing songs, no matter how you listen to it, it is like a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

Just now Zhu Di thought that Miaoyi was in distress, in order to facilitate swimming, he took off his shirt, bare his upper body, only wore knee-length pants, and soaked in the water, as if he was wearing nothing.

Xu Miaoyi hugged his solid waist and slowly touched it up, feeling the muscles and bones in every part of his back and the uneven skin in the palm of his hand.

"Your whiplash is healed." Xu Miaoyi said: "I remember seeing your injury the night I first came, crawling on your back like dozens of black centipedes. ”

Zhu Di's voice was a little hoarse, "You tricked me into going down to the river just to see my scars?" ”

"Of course, why do you think that?" Xu Miaoyi smiled: "You are too easy to deceive, with my water nature, there is no problem in the sea, how can you be trapped in the river water." ”

The flower crown on Xu Miaoyi's head has been washed away by the water when she sinks, her wet black hair sticks to her cheeks, her eyes are brighter than the moonlight, she laughs heartily, her jaw is light, like a child who has succeeded in mischief, but under the soaked white robe, is Miaoman's mature body.

Extremely pure and extremely glamorous were mixed together, Zhu Di disarmed and surrendered, floating away like a water lily crown, his arms tightened, Xu Miaoyi was tightly held in his arms, and his body was also entangled.

Xu Miaoyi felt like she was trapped in the water and grass, her heart had been entangled, she was powerless to break free, and she didn't want to break free, she relaxed her body and greeted Zhu Di's frantic kiss like a storm, just like that night she trekked day and night, and finally found a house halfway up the mountain, the light at the door of the yard flickered on and off, and it seemed that it could be extinguished in the wind and rain at any time, but it always brightened again at the last moment.

At that time, the icy spring rain whipped her body like a whip, the umbrella almost did not work, and on the rainy night, she had nowhere to escape, nowhere to avoid, only the faint light in front of her was the only hope.

The same is true at this time, Zhu Di's enthusiasm is like a rainstorm that covers the sky, but this rain is warm and hot, soothing her, as if she is in a hot spring, she doesn't want to escape, she just wants to continue to sink in the hot spring pool.

Xu Miaoyi looked at the sky, the night sky was as bright as a wash, her lips were slightly open, and her eyes were calm and confused......

"Quack!"

The shrill goose cry broke the silence of the night, and then two big white geese came from the mountain road and half flew into the water, swimming towards the center of the river as if fleeing for their lives!

Ma Sanbao came on horseback and drove the two big white geese, "You beasts! Dare to bite me, let you see how powerful your father-in-law is! ”

Chased all the way to the shore, there was a bunch of unextinguished bonfires on the riverside, there were bursts of wheat fragrance, a burly man was wearing a shirt, Ma Sanbao had been serving Zhu Di since he was a child, and he knew that it was his own master with just one back, he suddenly became excited, turned over and dismounted, and almost rolled off the horse.

"King Yan? It's really Your Highness! Ma Sanbao cried and knelt on the ground, kneeled to Zhu Di's side, the pebbles made his knees hurt, he didn't feel the pain at all, and hugged Zhu Di's thighs and howled, "My Highness!" The days of suffering and suffering have finally come to an end, and the slave and maid have been ordered to take you back to the palace. ”

Under the joy and sadness of the reunion, Ma Sanbao cried and wiped his tears, and the tears extinguished the bonfire, but Zhu Di couldn't wait to kick him back to the capital, hoping that he would never appear.

In the middle of the night, in the courtyard of the grass house on the mountainside, Zhu Di pointed to the beans, gourds and gourds and other vegetables on the courtyard wall, "Let's go in the night, so as not to disturb the people during the day." All of these were taken off and taken away, and ......"

Zhu Di patted the two large vats, "These are freshly pickled salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, I made them with my own hands with Miss Xu, and carried them away with the jars, be careful not to break them......"

In the bedroom, Xu Miaoyi was packing up her big and small burdens, and Ma Sanbao said in a low voice: "Miss Xu, please persuade King Yan, it's almost over, don't let go of the pickle jar, King Yan almost has to take away the overnight meal in the kitchen, and we can't load so many things in the car." ”

Only then did she know that it was not easy to get firewood, rice, oil and salt, Zhu Di was reluctant to throw away anything, and so was Xu Miaoyi, she put the teacup that was missing a corner into the baggage, and said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly grab the chicken in the backyard into the cage and take it away." ”

It seems that Miss Xu won't persuade King Yan - she is even more slamming than King Yan! Ma Sanbao said with a bitter face: "That thing is a living thing, so it's not easy to carry." ”

Xu Miaoyi poked Ma Sanbao's forehead and said, "That little hen has been raised since the spring, and she just threw it away as soon as she laid eggs?" You scumbag! 166 Reading Network
