Chapter 264: Traces Reappear

With a wave of his palm, the fine fish (the name Su Miao gave it) that had given up struggling was slapped back into the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At first, the fish didn't seem to react, and after falling into the water, it sank straight into the water, Su Miao looked at it twice and said, "Xiaobai, don't you just press too hard and stun it, right?" ”

Saying that, Su Miao turned her head and asked Song Chen: "Even if the fish faints in the water, it shouldn't drown, right?" ”

"Probably not." Song Chen smiled, "Think about it, aren't fish usually in the water when they sleep?" Dizziness is just a nap and it's fine. ”

As they spoke, they saw the fish, which was about to sink to the bottom, move suddenly, and then paddle its fins and swim away quickly. I don't know if it was a lesson from being picked up by Xiaobai, it swam a few times, didn't continue to stay on the shore, and went straight to the depths.

Skipping this little episode, Su Miao and the others continued to walk forward, and slowly, they saw that there seemed to be a glimmer of light in front of them, is there anyone else in the cave?

But Song Chen shook his head after looking at it twice: "It's almost to the exit." "Judging from the height of Luoxia Peak and the trend of this cave, the section they have walked through in the cave should have reached the foot of the mountain by now, and it seems that this is near the exit.

Continue to move forward, sure enough, the light is getting brighter and brighter, and when they go to the back, even if they haven't seen the entrance of the cave directly, the light is already clear at a glance and can be determined to be sunlight, and at this point, the scenery is much inferior to what they saw all the way just now, Su Miao and they walked faster, and soon, Xiaobai Yishi took the lead and led everyone out of the hole.

Song Chen looked at the scenery on both sides, this place was indeed at the foot of the mountain, and the stream in the cave merged into a small river about one zhang wide after arriving here, and after walking forward for a distance of about three or four zhang, he saw a road passing through. The right side is the way up the mountain, which should be the way they went down the mountain at the fork in the road further forward from Luoxia Peak. The one on the left is supposed to be the road that leads to the next place after descending the mountain.

The purpose of cave exploration has been achieved, they naturally want to go to the next place, according to the instructions of the map, from this road further on, after passing a small town, you can enter the main city of Shilan City. They should be able to enter the main city after dark, and then they will stay there for the night, and the next day they will see if there is nothing worth stopping in Shilan City, and they will leave the east gate to prepare for Jianlan City.

Out of the cave, after Su Miao saw the river in front of her, she specially asked Xiaobai: "Do you want to eat fish?" Do you want to catch a fish, grill it, and eat it before you hit the road? ”

Song Chen looked at the banks of the small river and shook his head: "This small river seems to be often passed by, and it doesn't seem to have any fish, and even if there are, it won't be big, because the big ones are all fished out and eaten." ”

Since the plan to grill fish on the spot was shattered, he had no choice but to move on: "Then Xiaobai, let's go quickly, and strive to get to Shilan City as soon as possible, so that we can eat whatever we want!" ”

The two of them got on their horses, and Xiaobai and Xiaolan also spread their footsteps and ran, and soon arrived at the other town, they did not stop, but went around directly outside the town. Shilan City is indeed vast and sparsely populated, from the time they entered Shilan City, to the distance from Danfeng Mountain that crossed Luoxia Peak to this small town, it looked no different from the small town they encountered in other places, but after passing this town, it has always been a desolate mountain wilderness, from that location to the main city of Shilan City, except for the occasional horses and carriages on the road, there are basically no people along the way.

It wasn't until about thirty miles from the main city that a village appeared. Su Miao and the others did not stop, and hurried into the city.

It wasn't completely dark when we entered the city, but after an afternoon of continuous running, it was time for Xiaobai and Xiaolan, as well as the two horses, to need to replenish their food. After entering the city, they first went to the inn, gave the silver and let the men of the inn feed the horses, and Su Miao and Song Chen took the two white lions out to forage.

In fact, in order to save time, when Song Chen entrusted the horse to that guy, he asked the other party which restaurant in the city was better. So after leaving the inn, Song Chen took Su Miao and Xiaobai and turned right into another street, walked all the way forward, walked about fifty zhang, and was almost at the end of the street before stopping. Song Chen looked up at the plaque hanging in the restaurant: "Well, Liuxian Building, it's here." ”

"Looking at the name, this restaurant should be very good!" Even the immortals will stay in the restaurant after eating, the dishes should not only be delicious but also very unique, otherwise, how could it become the "fifty-year-old restaurant" in the mouth of the guy? I'm afraid the signboard has been torn down a long time ago!

"Go in and try it out to see if they live up to their name."

Song Chen said, they stood in front of the restaurant for a while, and soon the guys in the hall had already come forward to greet them with great eyesight: "Guest officer! Guest officer, please! ”

"There's a private room, right?" Song Chen stood at the counter and looked at the environment in the store, and almost shook his eyes at a glance, the one in the store was splendid! The pillars, the tables, and the chairs were all decorated in whole or in part with gold, even if there were no gold bowls and chopsticks!

The guy's eyes were originally on Song Chen and Su Miao, but he was quickly attracted by the two white lions next to them: "Yes!" Some! Merchants on the second floor, please! "With these two beasts, even if they don't want a private room, I'm afraid he will persuade them to enter the private room. There are a lot of merchants coming and going in Shilan City, but only a small part of them are from the rivers and lakes, and the rest are serious businessmen. The people who noticed it at the moment seemed to be talking to themselves.

Under the deliberate arrangement of that guy, Song Chen and the others entered the largest private room in Liuxian Building. As soon as Song Chen sat down, he said to the guy: "If you have any signature meat in your store, let's have two or three dishes first, and serve two portions of each!" Another big plate of rice! Wait for the rest, you'll order it later. ”

As soon as Xiaobai and Xiaolan entered the private room, they had already consciously unloaded each other's bags, took out the food plates and put them in front of them, looking extremely hungry.

As soon as the guy saw the posture of the two lions, he didn't say anything more at the moment, and hurried away after answering. Soon he appeared with the guy who served the food, and at this time Song Chen and Su Miao had already seen what they wanted to eat, and after they put the things down, they reported to him the rest of the dishes they wanted to order.

As soon as the things arrived, Su Miao divided each portion of each dish into two, and the same was true for the rice, which was divided into Xiaobai and Xiaolan's plates. After Xiaobai started eating, she was cleaning her hands, and Song Chen took a piece of stewed mutton with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth: "Miaomiao, you can eat some too." ”

I heard that guy say that the most famous thing they are here is actually roasted whole sheep, but they are all roasted to order, so they can't come for a while, so they serve a few plates of braised beef, stewed lamb chops and the like, and fill the stomachs of Xiaobai and Xiaolan first. However, Su Miao felt that this simple stewed lamb chops with radish was really good, there was no mutton smell, the taste was light and light, the stew was soft and rotten, and it was not difficult to gnaw at all, and it almost fell down as soon as she bit the meat: "It's delicious!" ”

Su Miao's taste is light, Song Chen knows it, so the first chopsticks are to let her taste this dish. Seeing that Su Miao was happy to eat, he pointed to another dish: "Do you want to try the braised beef too?" ”

Absolutely. However, after trying the braised beef, Su Miao found that she still preferred stewed lamb chops a little more. Soon, the other dishes they ordered were also served, and finally the roasted whole lamb that the shop guy had been recommending all along.

It was just baked and served directly on the rack. Originally, there was also a guy to help cut the meat, but seeing that guy's little soft hands and weak legs when facing Xiao Bai and Xiao Lan's "lion eye" who were drooling at the fragrant roasted whole sheep, Su Miao still kindly refused him.

Dividing the meat is also Su Miao's best job, dividing three times by five, and quickly dividing Song Chen or the parts preferred by the two lions in front of them. She tried a piece of leg meat herself. The roasted whole sheep is said to be fully marinated with 36 bells of herbs and spices before it is put on the shelf and roasted, those herbs and spices remove the smell of the sheep very cleanly, and the meat is full of the aroma of herbs, so it tastes fragrant and not easy to get hot, it is indeed rare. However, it was precisely because it was so fragrant that Su Miao felt that it was a bit of a stealth of flavor, but she lost the original flavor of mutton, so she still preferred stew in comparison.

Song Chen and the two lions both had heavy tastes, so the roasted whole sheep was indeed to their liking.

"Hey, you've run out of sheep in this restaurant or what? Why hasn't our roasted whole sheep come up yet! The people in the room were eating, and there was no extra sound except for the occasional two comments, so the sound of the neighboring private room was even more eye-catching, plus Song Chen and Su Miao's hearing was already good, and the words next door seemed to be spoken in front of them.

The voice - Song Chen and Su Miao stopped their chopsticks, Su Miao looked at Song Chen and found that he was also looking at her, the voice seemed a little familiar......

"It's because we didn't greet the merchant well, so the merchants have ......been waiting for a long time," the shopkeeper's voice sounded, and he apologized repeatedly, "It's really because there are too many people ordering the whole sheep, and it takes a certain amount of time to roast this dish, so——"

"Is it that it takes a long time to make this dish? Or did you serve the food we ordered to someone else first? At this time, another voice sounded in the room, "It's not like I haven't eaten roasted whole sheep, how can I need to roast it for so long, and it has been roasted to char for so long, right?" ”

Another familiar voice! Su Miao was stunned, she just felt that their roasted whole sheep was delivered faster, and thought that the restaurant was not afraid that it would not be sold, so there was a reason why the sheep was roasted at any time, don't be that guy because he was afraid that Xiaobai and Xiaolan would go crazy when they were hungry or something, so he sent someone else's to them first, right?

Whether the matter was as she guessed and couldn't be investigated, because they couldn't call that guy in again to ask him about it, but the two familiar voices in the private room next door made Song Chen and them a little concerned.

And the conversation next door continued, and the guy denied their accusations, of course, but kept apologizing. Soon, the first voice came out to play a round: "Forget it, Brother Miao, it may be that their business is too good." Wait, wait, let's eat the other dishes first, and we don't have to rush to do it anyway, right? ”

Song Chen raised his eyebrows and whispered to Su Miao, "Miaomiao, do you remember?" That lake ......"

That's right, it should be Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou's voices, because Su Miao and Song Chen followed them for a while, so they were very impressed by their voices and appearances.

At that time, because they felt that although this Jing Si Sect in a remote corner was organized by the old people of the previous dynasty, it didn't seem to have any big moves to do, so they didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect to meet it in this place.

Su Miao thought of what Duan Yi, the sect leader of the Jing Si Sect, said that he would let Duan Lianqing go out to practice more in the future: "They were sent out to experience like this? ”

"Come here to train?" Song Chen felt a little funny. Just like the shopkeeper said, in addition to a small number of locals in Shilan City, the most of them are merchants and the like, as well as the beasts that may be flooded because of the small number of people in the mountains. Otherwise, even if they come to experience the kung fu of knowing people, they are all passing by in a hurry, and it is difficult for them to gain anything just by watching, right?

Sure enough, Su Miao quickly felt a little strange: "No, Huolan City is in the south of Lanzhong, and Shilan City is in the northernmost part of Lanxi, the distance between the two places is more than thousands of miles, right?" ”

Song Chen looked at Su Miao and continued, "It's more than three thousand miles." ”

"More than three thousand miles?" Su Miao was surprised when she heard Song Chen say it, she knew that the two places were far away, but she didn't expect it to be so far, "So far away they came here to practice?" Do you want to practice what to do if you are in distress and have no way to call for help? ”

Su Miao laughed as she spoke, and she sighed: "This Duan Sect Master may not be too overkill. Before, he loved his daughter too much, except for Huolan City, and only let her move around a few neighboring cities. Now that he felt that he had not had enough experience, he sent her thousands of miles away at once...... I don't know if this is ruthless or big-hearted? With the skills of these two people, if something really happens, I'm afraid he won't be able to rescue them in time, right? ”
