Chapter 223: Back to the Mountain
Xia Kucao was overjoyed by Bi Chen's reaction, and Jian Yang thanked Ji Zixuan on the side and said with relief: "Fortunately, she likes it very much, thank you so much!"
Ji Zixuan waved his hand, with a proud face: "I can't be wrong with my vision, can the head nod my head, I felt very good when I saw the drawing, and I bought it without saying a word." ”
Xia Kucao happily complimented: "Yes, yes, the vision is really good!"
The old woman didn't make a moment to make a table of dishes, but they were all vegetarian dishes, and the only meat dish was the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The old woman was a little restrained but very enthusiastic and smiled: "Owner, first beckoning the guests to eat some light meals, all are home-cooked food, we have opened up a vegetable garden here, these are freshly picked in the yard, on the back mountain, the old man and I also fed some chickens, these chickens will lay eggs, and they are very fragrant, you can taste them!"
Jian Yang nodded, looked at everyone and said, "That's right, you have helped us so much, we can't repay it, just take this opportunity to drink a cup of tea to show our gratitude." ”
Prunella smelled the fragrance of this vegetable and nodded like pounding garlic: "Wow, wow, it's so fragrant!"
Xia Kucao looked at the master after speaking, and then pointed to a plate of cabbage on the table and said: "Master, you rarely taste this delicious food in the world, why don't we sit down and taste it, this is also a rare opportunity, the disciple is not good at tea and rice on weekdays, so that the master has been wronged, and so far he has not made a decent meal to repay the master's careful teaching to the disciple on weekdays!"
Shi Hanshui lifted his robe and sat on the stool: "It is the responsibility of the teacher to teach you, you can be taught with an open mind, and you can repay the common people, you don't need to thank the teacher, but I really know very little about the food in the world, and today in this paradise there is a feeling of having a great appetite, let's all sit together!"
Xia Kucao had never seen such an easy-going master, and was a little surprised for a while, and the others gradually sat down, forming a circle, Jian Yang beckoned the couple to take a seat, but they were all rejected, the hierarchy is deep-rooted, and I am afraid that it will not be able to change it for a while, so I can only exchange people's hearts for people's hearts day after day.
Prunella grass sandwiched a chopstick to stir-fry water spinach, the taste is refreshing and fresh, very delicious, but this dish is placed in front of her, and she and the master sit diagonally, she glanced at Shi Hanshui, although he has eaten, but also only the plate of mushrooms in front of him, Prunella carefully with chopsticks A chopstick water spinach, stood up, across a table of dishes, through the sea of people handed to Shi Hanshui.
In the eyes of everyone, he whispered: "Master, you try this, it is smooth and tender, refreshing ** juice, and you will know that the heat is excellent when you taste it, and it is very delicious." ”
Shi Hanshui looked up at her, and then looked at the dish in her hand, she didn't respond for two seconds, Xia Kucao's eyes were a little ethereal, and gradually a little embarrassed from the heat, the chopsticks that picked up the vegetables seemed to have barbs, and the prickly hand hurt, but the master didn't want to catch it.
Zixuan hurriedly took out his bowl, ready to catch the dish, and smiled in his mouth: "Is it really as delicious as you say?
Seeing that Zixuan's bowl was about to be lifted, Xia Kucao quickly withdrew his hand, and the dishes on the chopsticks fell into his bowl, and smiled: "It's me who was careless, I'm sorry I'm embarrassed, in this way, I'll bring the plate directly to you, and you can clip it yourself, which is more hygienic." ”
Saying that, Xia Dry Grass really picked up the plate of water spinach as if it was nothing, handed it to Zixuan, and signaled: "Come on, come on, you can know the truth when you taste it, this smell should only be in the sky, how many times can you smell it in the world." ”
Zixuan wanted to relieve her embarrassment, but she didn't appreciate it, so the chopsticks had to pick up the dishes on the plate and muttered: "I don't mind what you mean by chopsticks, don't misunderstand." ”
Prunella just didn't hear it, so she didn't know it, but that dish was their intention to the master, how could this intention be passed on to others because the master didn't accept it?
She also does this to resolve the embarrassment without losing her heart, not to change her will, even if she is frustrated, she will never use others as a shield or punching bag.
Shi Hanshui didn't react too much, he was still cold and detached, silently opening his mouth to eat, and the people at this table didn't seem to be in the same world as him.
Bi Chen still eats in a regular manner, only occasionally sprinkling food on her chest, and Jian Yang takes care of her meticulously, wiping her clothes and even feeding her.
Xia Kucao was very moved in her heart, is this really another village, if the two of them help each other together and spend time together, it will not be a beautiful thing.
After the meal, Shi Hanshui called Xia Kucao to go around the hut in this lake, and Xia Kucao found that there was only one way to come in, and the way to go out was the same, so this is the end of this road, and there is no big road ahead, it seems that few people come here.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, a Hubo, surrounded by bamboo forests, willows and willows, the way in and out is not hidden, nor public, it is really ingenious to build a house here.
The path into the mountain is relatively hidden, and it seems that there are often hunters in and out of the vicinity, so Xia Kucao called the old woman and asked: "Grandma, are there many people who come to beg for water and drink on weekdays, and are there many people passing by?"
The old woman smiled and said: "There are also people who beg for water to drink, most of them are hunters in the mountains, but there are not many, this place is relatively remote, far away from the official road, it is difficult to walk into the mountain road, and it is generally necessary to walk by horse, which is to put an end to the ordinary ordinary people's contacts, the old slave has lived here for more than 20 years, and the number of people he has seen is only 100 people." ”
Xia Kucao nodded, sure enough, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, suitable for seclusion, she looked at the master and said: "Master, do you see if there is a need to seal an enchantment, although there are few people coming and going here, but Bi Chen's situation is special, in case Jian Yang is not at home, the old and weak women and children, I am worried about their danger, and there are many poisons in the mountain, and the enchantment can also prevent one or two." ”
Shi Hanshui looked at the sky, and then looked at the height of the mountain, the whole is not too high, but it is just enough to seal a golden bell jar, after sealing, what people who come and go is nothing more than a calm Hubo, only those who have been pointed at can open their eyes to see the house, Bichen and Jian Yang and Xia Kucao are very important, even so, it is very likely to be targeted by the demons, even if she doesn't say it, he plans to do so.
Shi Hanshui nodded, gathered strength in his hand, and the transparent true qi was transmitted from his palm, rushing into the sky, covering up this small bridge family, as if he was invisible, Shi Hanshui tapped on the foreheads of the old man, and then tapped on the foreheads of Bichen and Jian Yang:
"From now on, you can see the situation outside, but the people outside cannot see you, and they only see this piece of Hubo, so that you can be safe, and if this place is attacked and damaged, I will know it as soon as possible. ”
Xia Kucao was excited, and hurriedly pulled Jian Yang and Bi Chen to bow and said, "Thank you Master for your care." ”
Xia Kucao and Jian Yang talked for a long time, and then said goodbye to Bi Chen reluctantly, Bi Chen's eyes did not fluctuate much, and she still couldn't remember her, Xia Kucao smiled and waved her hand, she would not despair, now she is on the mountain, and they are at the foot of the mountain, next time I come to hope to have a different Bi Chen.
From the small bridge to the opposite side of the shore, and then turned back, sure enough, I saw the vast Hubo, the water surface is still sparkling, very beautiful, Xia Kucao is a little lost, standing in front of Shi Hanshui coquettishly said: "Master, please also point to the apprentices, the apprentices are not saying goodbye to them this time, today's pass, if the apprentices are not able to find them without the fingers, then it will be sad." ”
Zixuan's two fingers slowly swiped in front of his eyes, as if he had opened the eyes of heaven, and hurriedly leaned over and whispered to Xia Kucao: "I know the technique of the eye of heaven, do I want to tell you the secret?"
Xia Kucao shook her head firmly: "I am not the same as what you have learned, you have your bridge ladder, I have my Zhang Liang, you can't mix it up." ”
"Alas, then you still don't cultivate well, isn't it good to have more skills, why do you refuse!" Zi Xuan was puzzled, in Zi Xuan's opinion, Xia Kucao's lack of cultivation was related to her poor cultivation, her brain was so good, it was definitely not a stupid problem.
Xia Kucao didn't plan to discuss this topic with him more, but pouted: "I have a master, I don't need you to teach, what I have learned in my life can only be taught by the master." ”
Then followed behind the master and pleaded for a long time, and Shi Hanshui agreed to give her a forehead.
Xia Kucao thanked the master with a smile, and said goodbye to Jian Yang and the others with tears, reluctantly.
Master's Ice Divine Sword was still magnificent, and it was transformed into a blue ice crystal, and it circled around the Prunella grass, as if it had determined the smell of the Prunella grass, and then it honestly stopped in front of the Prunella grass.
Xia Kucao was afraid in her heart, if she wanted to say that she had gone down the mountain before, she still had some cultivation, and she was not very afraid of the sword, but now that half of her cultivation is gone, it is difficult to say whether this sword can stand firmly or not, and it is suddenly back to the general ten years ago.
Xia Kucao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, she had really lived in vain for ten years, her skills had not grown, and she had to give up, and the flute in her sleeve was the only comfort.
Shi Hanshui looked at her lightly on the side, not urging or reminding, but Zixuan was a little anxious, and added oil and vinegar to the side: "Do you want me to help you?"
"I want you to be nosy!" muttered Xia Withthere, glancing at him.
"I definitely didn't mean to laugh at you, I just wanted to help you!" Zixuan reluctantly immediately showed goodwill.
Xia Kucao stretched out her index finger, waved her index finger very calmly, and swore to fight for the last bit of face for herself: "No, I can!"
After she finished speaking, she held the handle of the sword with her hand, the sword was obedient, and let her hold it, Shi Hanshui's eyes narrowed slightly, Xia Kucao held the hilt of the sword and put it down and again, until it was twenty centimeters high from the ground, she just stepped on one foot, the sword moved, she screamed in fright, and the other foot was uncontrollable and put it up, and the whole person rushed into the sky like an arrow from the string.
This cry soared all the way up to the sky, gradually drifting away, the echo echoed layer by layer in the valley, Jian Yang was still worried when he heard this scream, but he also smiled with relief, although the master was cold and alienated from people, but there was love in his eyes when he looked at Xia Kucao, he was definitely a good master, Xia Kucao had a way forward, don't worry.
