Chapter 29: Barbecue in the Wild
Mo asked, "Oh, I see. Does the shopkeeper know where she went?" "Yesterday she said she wanted to leave, but today she left, isn't it a little too hasty?"
Ah Ren shook his head, he really didn't know.
Mo Wen looked at Ah Ren, who shook his head, and said, "Then I won't disturb the shopkeeper." ”
He turned around and walked towards another jade shop.
In the morning, Mo Wen checked the jade shop in the city, and found no trace of the jade demon. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that after such a long time, the jade demon had already left the city?
The more Mo Wen thought about it, the more reliable he felt, so he was ready to say goodbye to the county lord after the investigation was fruitless.
After entering the county office, the county lord hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile, "What has the Daoist discovered?" He knew better than anyone that the jade demon was empty, how could he find it.
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't find any trace of the Jade Demon. ”
The county lord looked at Mo Wen with a ashamed face, and said, "Dao Chief, I think that there is no news of the Jade Demon rebellion in the city these days, maybe the Jade Demon has already fled." ”
Mo Wen nodded, "It should be so." ”
Mo Wen can't help it, I'm not good at this, and I didn't change color when I carried a small gourd around, so I could only give up.
Mo Wen stood up and said seriously to the county master: "Since this is the case, I won't bother much." ”
"How many days won't the Taoist stay?"
"No, there is still a master below, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. ”
"Then I won't force the Taoist to stay, the Taoist will walk slowly. The county lord said respectfully.
Mo asked, and simply turned to leave.
Before going down the mountain, the master instructed that after going down the mountain this time to deal with the jade demon, he didn't have to go back directly, he had a catastrophe coming, and it was not too late to go back after the catastrophe.
He asked Shizun what kind of calamity it was.
Shizun shook his head and said, "We'll know when the time comes."
Only, where should he go now?
"I heard that the golden bell flower of the Acropolis is blooming, the golden bell flower leaves are evergreen, the flower shape is unique, the whole flower is like a hanging golden bell, it is very beautiful, I really want to see it......
"Do you want to see it? ”
"You ......"
"Except for the capital city Luancheng, the Acropolis is the second largest ancient city in our southern remote country, although it is not far from us, it is not close. Father and mother will definitely not allow us women to go out so far to see the flowers. ”
"Alas...... That's right, I heard that the golden bell flower is a new variety that was introduced a few years ago. ”
“......”
Don't ask and listen to the conversation of the woman on the side of the road, Jin Linghua?
It's better for him to go and see the golden bellflowers, go north, and the Acropolis.
Don't ask Edgeworth.
And Mengli and Lingmu drove the carriage, leisurely, swaying all the way to the north.
After a day of wandering around the carriage, Mengli and Lingmu found a place in the woods to stop.
Touching the food that was already cold in the carriage, Mengli called: "Lingmu, you go to the forest to find some branches, and we will heat up the meal." ”
"Okay. Lingmu agreed, and went to pick up the branches.
Mengli prepared enough food for the two of them and put it on the grass, because it was all wrapped in advance, and she was not afraid that it would get dirty. Then, put the rest on the rest.
Turning around, Lingmu smiled and hugged a bunch of branches, "There is nothing else in this forest, but there are many branches." ”
Lingmu put the branch on the ground and set it up, Mengli took out the fire fold, blew it gently, and lit the small firewood pile.
Lingmu looked at the fire, stepped back with his right foot, and sat a meter away from the fire.
"Huh...... I'll sit here, miss. Lingmu smiled awkwardly.
Although she has become a demon, it is easy to extinguish a fire, but Mu is afraid of fire in her bones. Although she has no bones, she is just afraid!
Mengli sneered, "Hahaha...... Look at your little bit of interest. Okay, you wait for me to bake it for you. ”
Mengli took out the roast chicken, put it on a wooden stick, put it on the fire, and spun it to grill.
In fact, the ingredients are all ready, as long as they are hot, and the seasonings do not need to be sprinkled.
No, as soon as it is heated, the smell of barbecue meat wafts out of the forest, and the barbecue makes a sizzling sound, and drops of hot oil slowly slide down the surface.
Lingmu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it was so fragrant.
And someone, who was flying in the sky above Edgeworth, apparently also smelled the appetizing scent, and braked suddenly... Oh no, a sudden brake... Sword?
Stopped in mid-air, Mo Wen sniffed, and looked down again, hey, acquaintance.
So, Mo asked Edgeworth to go to the small fire of the barbecue.
So, now, Mengli looked at the chicken in her hand, looked up at the crescent moon in front of her, and said without tears: "Hi~"
Don't tell her, she roasted a chicken and hooked the people she had been trying to hide.
"Miss Mengli, what a coincidence. ”
The corners of Mengli's mouth twitched, it was because she heard this sentence yesterday that she fled from Shengcheng in a hurry.
"It's a coincidence, where is Mo Gongzi going?" Mengli asked when she looked up.
"Preparing to go north to the Acropolis, Miss Mengli is also going north?" Mo Wen said and sat on the ground, looking at Mengli roast chicken.
Lingmu looked at Mo and asked, why did he sit down directly, is this posture ready to eat and drink?
"Well, I want to go north to see. ”
She wanted to ask, is it too late for her to go in another direction?
Mo Wen looked around, and after confirming the two of them, he frowned and asked, "Just your master and servant?"
Isn't it too dangerous for the two women to walk outside without even a guard?
"Hmm...... We ran away from home, originally three people, but later Yunhu was captured by his family. "Mengli lowered her head, she did escape from the Ten Thousand Demon Pit, this is the truth, um!
Mo Wen frowned and looked at the bold man, he was able to run away from home, it was really not an ordinary girl's family, "In this case, there may be danger along the way." It just so happens that we are on the way, so it is better to let the girl protect all the way. ”
Lingmu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I can protect Miss, I don't need you to ......" Why is there a snatch wherever she goes?
Mengli opened his mouth to stop: "Lingmu ......"
"Then this way will trouble Master Mo. Mengli said respectfully.
She felt that this person was just trying to rub her chicken! She couldn't tell people that she was not afraid of any demons and bad people.
Alas, it's better to put away the little feet, let's be honest.
"No trouble, just ...... Girl, do you still have roast chicken?" Mo asked, finally couldn't help but open his mouth to ask for chicken. He kept looking at the roast chicken, and he felt even hungrier.
Mengli shouted in her heart, I knew! I knew!
"And there are. Mengli whispered.
Mozhu held a brush in his mouth, lying on a branch not far away and wrote a letter: The young master and a man who asked Mo Wen barbecued together, the young master's barbecue skills were superb, and the roast chicken smelled particularly fragrant......
