53: Miracle
A burst of seductive aroma, accompanied by the sound of "coo-to-goo~" penetrates the tip of the nose. Huang Lei, who was still asleep, instinctively swallowed his saliva and opened his eyes hard. Then he found himself beside a campfire. There was also an iron pot on the fire, and something was boiling in it.
Next to the fire, there were two people sitting. One is Cheng Li, who is concentrating, holding a spoon and stirring in the iron pot. The other is Xiaoqing. Suddenly hearing the movement, she immediately looked back and said with a smile: "Three small stones, are you awake?"
Huang Lei turned over and sat up and shook his head vigorously. But I still feel a little groggy in my head. Looking around again, I immediately found broken temples, deserted suburbs, and night rain. It is the most familiar scene and the most familiar moment for Jianghu people.
Huang Lei breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know why, I subconsciously relaxed a lot. He steadied himself and asked, "I...... How did I end up here?"
Cheng Li was engrossed in the iron pot, as if there was no such person as Huang Lei in his eyes. Xiaoqing blinked and smiled, "Won't you? Could it be that you have amnesia and don't even remember......?" I guess it was because I was hit in the head during the fight just now. Okay, I'll heal you, and make sure you'll remember it right away. ”
Before Huang Lei could agree, Xiaoqing had already run to the corner of the broken temple by himself, picked up a brick and came back, threw it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, come over your head." There is no amnesia, it is a brick that cannot be cured. If so, then another brick. ”
Huang Lei made a sudden, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Cheng Li, who was next to the fire, put down the spoon and said, "Xiaoqing, don't make trouble." After a pause, he turned back to Huang Lei and said, "I cleaned up that guy from Lei Dongtian just now." The others did not dare to stay any longer, so they took the body with them and left in a hurry.
When you were attacked before, you were already injured a lot, but you just persevered with one breath. Seeing that it is safe, this breath is relieved, and then you faint. ”
Xiaoqing said: "We are not doctors, and we can't treat you, so we have to take you out of that small hill, find a broken temple randomly, take a break for a while, and let you recover naturally." How's it going, how do you feel now?"
After listening to these words, Huang Lei tried to think about it again, and immediately remembered it. He sincerely clasped his fists and saluted the two of them, and said, "I see. Thank you both for coming to the rescue. ”
Xiaoqing smiled mischievously: "Just verbally thanking you is not sincere enough, right?
Huang Lei was stunned, and then smiled: "If the girl likes it, just take it." Without saying a word, he took off the strange sword hanging on his waist and threw it away. Impartial, it happened to be thrown in Xiaoqing's hands.
Walking the rivers and lakes, a weapon in hand, is often more important than the lives of the people in the rivers and lakes. That's why there is a saying: "The sword is in the people, and the sword is lost." What's more, it is one of the four great divine soldiers in the world, the strange sword "retention"?
So under normal circumstances, when Xiaoqing makes such a request, at least fifty out of a hundred people will immediately refuse, preferring to give away their wives and daughters rather than hand them over to others. As for the other fifty people, they will turn their faces on the spot. Benefactors become enemies.
Therefore, in fact, Xiaoqing is just trying to embarrass Huang Lei, just to have fun. She didn't even dream that Huang Lei didn't hesitate to take the strange sword into her hands.
Looking at Xiaoqing's overwhelmed look, Cheng Li beside the fire couldn't help but laugh out loud. Shaking his head, he said: "Huang Lei, Xiaoqing is joking, don't care." Having said that, it's really rare to see someone as generous as you. ”
Huang Lei smiled freely: "Actually, I'm stingy, so I take my life very seriously." As for other things outside the body, compared to one's own life, it doesn't matter. ”
“...... Phew, I've really lost these three little stones to you. ”
Xiaoqing shook his head, threw it casually, and threw the strange sword back to Huang Lei, saying, "Just kidding, don't be so serious." I don't know how to use a sword or a sword, let alone a dual cultivation of swords. So it's useless for me to ask for this thing. Give it back to you. ”
Huang Lei took the strange sword and said with a smile: "Then thank you girl." By the way, the arrow east god ......"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a sound of "goo~" in Huang Lei's belly. The three of them looked at each other, and then burst out laughing at the same time. Cheng Li said: "Jian Dongshen has gone out to inquire about the news." Huang Lei, Xiaoqing, come over and eat something. ”
Huang Lei didn't speculate, thanked him, walked to the fire and sat down. Cheng Li untied the lid on the iron pot, and it turned out that it was a pot of broth. There are pheasants, eggs, rabbits, mushrooms, wild vegetables, and other ingredients. The aroma is tangy, and it teaches people to move their index fingers. Cheng Li took out a few broken bowls found from the kitchen of the broken temple and scooped a bowl for each person.
Huang Lei's master, Tianyi Jushi, is a strange generation. In medicine, astrology, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other miscellaneous studies are all refined, all of which are proficient. Culinary skills are naturally included.
Huang Lei, as his apprentice, can't learn those too complicated knowledge, but his cooking skills have been passed down by Tianyi Jushi. But now, Huang Lei picked up the bowl and tasted a small bite, which was so delicious that he didn't swallow his tongue.
He devoured the wind and gobbled up, drank a bowl of broth clean, and gnawed down the bones. Only then did he put down the bowl and sighed: "Brother Cheng, I have served you." I didn't expect you to not only have the best martial arts, but also the best cooking skills. Alas~ I'll practice for another twenty years, and I don't know if I can catch up with half of yours. It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating. ”
Cheng Li smiled and didn't say much. In fact, although his cooking skills are good, he can't reach the top level. The reason why Huang Lei was so happy and convinced, and even worshipped, actually relied on two words: chicken essence.
In the "tattoos" on Cheng Li's body, in addition to arms and weapons, there are also many messy things stuffed in. This includes several large boxes of a variety of modern high-concentration compound condiments. Including chicken essence, cyclamate, food flavor, sand tea sauce, XO sauce, barbecue sauce, brine juice, cumin powder, pepper, sand ginger powder...... And so on and so forth. I don't know exactly when it was stuffed in.
In fact, when Cheng Li found that there were still these things in the "tattoo", he couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He even suspected that it was his adoptive father, the old man, who was the director of the institute, who stuffed all the condiments in the institute's canteen for thousands of people to eat.
Although I think it's ridiculous. But anyway, there is a lot of space in the "tattoo", and there are places. So Cheng Li also put these condiments casually and didn't care about it. I don't know when, but I'll be able to use it, right?
People in this era have never tasted the taste of chicken essence. Once tasted, it was like a primitive man in the Stone Age, who met a colonist with an arquebus, completely collapsed, and fell without even the slightest resistance.
Drinking a bowl of broth was far from enough, and Huang Lei couldn't help but drink the second bowl and the third bowl at the moment. The three of them quickly divided the full pot of broth.
Huang Lei sat on the floor and gently patted his lower abdomen, only to feel that life is like this, what more can a husband ask for. I was in a relaxed mood for a while, and I couldn't help humming a little song.
Xiaoqing is a snake clan. There are many things that are different from humans, including the taste of food. So although it was the first time she had come into contact with MSG, she also felt that it was quite fresh, but she was not as addicted as Huang Lei. She put down the dishes and chopsticks, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, three little stones, are you really the deputy owner of the Canghai Yueming Building?"
Huang Lei said leisurely: "The goods are genuine, such as fake." But to be honest, I don't really like being this deputy landlord too much. If it weren't for the sake of taking into account the feelings of righteousness, I would have gone to the rivers and lakes by myself and lived happily alone. ”
"Righteous feelings......" Cheng Li thought about it, but always felt incomprehensible. He was an orphan and had no brothers. When I was in graduate school, I didn't have any friends of the same age. So it's hard for him to understand that two people who are not related by blood can "marry Jinlan" just because they are "like-minded", and then become real brothers?
Huang Lei sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't worship my eldest brother for a long time. But the eldest brother is kind to me, and the eldest brother is a decent person. Although it can't be said to be a white way, Canghai Yueminglou never earns those dirty money with a bad conscience. If there is no Canghai Yueming Tower, the evil in this world will increase by at least fifty percent. So no matter whether it's public or private, I can't leave my eldest brother alone. ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "Listen to your tone...... Why does it seem that Zhu You's tears are about to die?"
Huang Lei smiled bitterly: "When the eldest brother was still in infancy, he suffered serious internal injuries. After that, he was frail for the rest of his life.
No, he was not only frail, but he was also sick and terminally ill. He was infected with at least seventeen or eighteen serious diseases. Many of these diseases are incurable, and so far several have not even had an official name, let alone a treatment. If ordinary people have one of these diseases, they are afraid that they will get sick and die early.
But the eldest brother was accepted as a disciple by the god of the sea, and was given authentic Buddhism, and the illness was suppressed for the time being. In addition, under the accumulation of his illnesses for many years, mutual restraint has actually reached some kind of incredible balance. That's why he has been able to live to this day. ”
Cheng Li couldn't help but exclaim: "This is really a miracle. ”
Huang Lei nodded and said, "It is indeed a miracle." But there is a limit to miracles. Over the past year, the eldest brother's health has become worse and worse. Even if he invited the imperial doctor in the palace to treat him, the imperial doctor was helpless.
Everyone said that unless they could get one thing, then maybe there was a one-in-a-thousandth chance that the eldest brother could continue to live. Otherwise, at most, in another half a year, the eldest brother will not be able to do it. ”
Cheng Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "Such a thing...... Is it the glass orb?"
