Chapter 15, the 'man' heart is not ancient
"Miss Jiuli is really knowledgeable." Zhang Zhemao stared at Jiuli Qiantaro without blinking, and said, "I also heard from the old people in the village that my father was guilty of evil diseases. ”
Chu Haoge scratched his head, looking extremely puzzled: "Since it is said that it is an evil disease, it is useless to find some ordinary Langzhong, then why do you still want to go to Luoyang?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiuli Qianyu and Murong Xiaoyan also stared at him, waiting for him to give a good explanation.
"Alas, at least there are a lot of capable people in the city, maybe you can meet a master." Zhang Zhemao sighed and said.
Jiu Li Qiantaro and Chu Haoge both frowned, feeling that these words were a little inconsistent with the previous insistence that they were suffering from a strange disease, presumably there was something hidden in it, but if the interrogation was too hasty, it would always be a little rude.
Murong Xiaoyan suddenly stood up at this time and said, "Oh, since Zhang Gongzi is going to Luoyang, we have decided to go with him again, it's useless to ask so much, let's help him find a master who can exorcise evil spirits when we get to Luoyang." ”
"yes, okay." Chu Haoge responded, and then gave Jiu Li Qiantaro a look, signaling that she didn't need to ask more for the time being, at this time Chu Haoge already had a plan in his heart, although he and Murong Xiaoyan had not known each other for a long time, but he also knew a little about Murong Xiaoyan, Murong Xiaoyan was not like a person who had to obey every possible way when he saw a handsome guy, like Mo Feiming that time, Chu Haoge felt that Mo Feiming was much more handsome than this Zhang Zhemao, coupled with that momentum, it was obviously far more attractive than this Zhang Zhemao, but along the way, Murong Xiaoyan maintained Zhang Zhemao many times, One can't help but be suspicious.
Seeing this, Jiuli Qiantaro didn't say anything more, and the four of them started to hurry again.
……
Chu Haoge and his entourage passed the range of the falling water lake, and walked into a forest again, surrounded by mountains on both sides, not very tall, but in this forest from a distance, it looks like the realm of the fairy family, with the gradually darkening sky, the whole forest is filled with a mysterious atmosphere, as if there is something terrible in the fog, and the realm of the fairy family is very different from the realm of the fairy family during the day on weekdays, and it looks extremely gloomy.
The three of them walked all the way to a large clearing in the forest, Zhang Zhemao said: "There is fog in this forest at night, if you walk at night, it is easy to get lost in it, and the yin qi is so strong that even outside you will seem to hear the ghost scream, so a person who walks will choose to spend this forest during the day." ”
Chu Haoge looked around, and saw that there were strange-shaped old locust trees all around, and they were all quite strong, and from a distance, it really looked like some strange-shaped humanoid creatures were doing all kinds of actions.
"Oh my God......" Chu Haoge couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are there so many locust trees." ”
"Hmm...... The ghost in the locust tree is recorded in the ancient saying, because this kind of tree is too ghostly, feng shui is not allowed to be planted in the courtyard of the house. Jiuli Qiantaro said that she had heard all kinds of legends in her clan since she was a child, so she naturally knew about it.
Chu Haoge looked at those old locust trees again, and looked into the depths of the forest, as if he really saw a few ghost shadows passing by, which frightened him into a clever wit: "No wonder this forest looks so evil, the locust tree gathers ghost energy, this whole locust forest, don't gather all the ghost qi in this radius of a hundred miles." He swallowed his spit and stopped walking.
Looking at Murong Xiaoyan again, she was talking to Zhang Zhemao on the side, Chu Haoge's eyes swept over, and then he snorted imperceptibly, inadvertently keeping his eyes away from them.
At this time, Jiu Li Qianyu walked over, approached and whispered to Chu Haoge: "Miss Murong is not such a person, I am afraid that there is something strange in this, this Zhang Gongzi is probably not so simple." ”
Chu Haoge turned his head to look at Jiuli Qiantaro, nodded solemnly, and then quietly watched the movements of Zhang Zhemao and Murong Xiaoyan with his residual vision.
A few people picked some combustibles such as tree branches, and built a fire in the open space, and the four of them formed a circle, Chu Haoge sat on the left is Jiuli Qiantaro, and on the right is Zhang Zhemao, who squeezed over with a smile.
Chu Haoge took out some dry food from the baggage and distributed it to a few people, the three of them had already eaten most of it along the way, and this time there was not much left, Chu Haoge took out what he was going to eat and put it back, Zhang Zhemao also put the dry food back when he saw him like this, and Jiuli Qiantaro also quietly put it back, leaving only Murong Xiaoyan who did not know why.
"Hmm...... There is not much dry food left, I am about to get some game to satisfy my hunger, otherwise we will be hungry in the next two days" Chu Haoge said, if he glanced at Zhang Zhemao meaningfully, Zhang Zhemao was also a little embarrassed, his face was not obviously red, and he also understood that if he hadn't joined him halfway, I am afraid that there would be a lot of surplus rations for several people in Luoyang.
Walking this way, the four of them also rested for a while, during which they found that although this Zhang Zhemao looked soft and weak like a girl, he ate a lot, and even one person could eat one, one and a half or even two servings.
He was also very embarrassed about this, saying that his physique was like this, and it was difficult for several people to say anything.
Murong Xiaoyan took Chu Haoge's words, and said to Zhang Zhemao: "Let me tell you, Chu Haoge has a set of methods for roasting meat, and you will have a good mouth this time." ”
This way to this point, Murong Xiaoyan mentioned Chu Haoge for the first time, which made him a little happy, but as soon as he heard her words, he was not very happy, he took me as a cook in his feelings, thinking of this, he didn't entangle with her, so he went straight to the forest to find a few beasts, but he never left too far from the vicinity of the fire, and he could pay attention to the general situation here with his eyesight.
Zhang Zhemao smiled: "Then I still dragged the blessing of Miss Murong." As he spoke, Zhang Zhemao added wood to the fire.
Jiuli Qiantaro was silent beside him, his eyes casually glanced at Zhang Zhemao's hand, and quickly looked away, frowning slightly, but there was no excessive reaction, and he took out some herbs from the burden beside him and fiddled with them.
Half an hour later, Chu Haoge came back with two hares that had just been called, and after cleaning up, the two poor hares were reduced to Chu Haoge's ingredients and everyone's rations.
Chu Haoge put two hares on the branches, made a shelf made of tree branches and started the barbecue.
"Well......" is in considerable contrast to Murong Xiaoyan over there who keeps talking to Zhang Zhemao, Jiuli Qianyao and Chu Haoge didn't say a word, one was quietly roasting meat, and the other was looking at the fire in a daze.
Jiu Li Qiantaro couldn't help frowning when he looked at the rabbit meat roasted by Chu Haoge, and said, "The old man in the clan said that if you often eat so-called game meat for the sake of deliciousness in this life, you will become game meat for others to eat in the next life. ”
Her words were very inappropriate, and the three of them were very appetizing at this time, so that most of her appetite was dispelled when she said this, and the whole world seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
Chu Haoge was very embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said, "Miss Qiantaro, if you say this, I won't dare to eat meat in the future." As he spoke, he felt a little embarrassed to hold the rabbit meat, so he put it back on the branch shelf.
"Jiuli girl doesn't have to be like this, there are people in the world who have a legal system, and there is also a legal system in the jungle, the so-called 'survival of the fittest, natural selection.'" Zhang Zhemao's face was full of spring breeze, and his smile seemed to be demonic, which made people feel emotional, and he continued: "What's more, if this is the case, the grass, trees, rice and millet all have life, if they are all as the Jiuli girl thinks, won't everyone starve to death in vain?" ”
Zhang Zhemao said this, although he was refuting Jiuli Qiantaro, but with his smile, he looked like a handsome boy who talked eloquently.
"Mmmm, Jiuli girl, don't think about it so much, Chu Haoge's barbecue is delicious." Murong Xiaoyan's words made Chu Haoge's face black, and he praised his skills again, and the timing of her interjection was really ......
Jiu Li Qiantaro nodded, took down the roast rabbit on the branch shelf close to Chu Haoge and her, gently brushed it on the rabbit with his hand, as if to appease, and then handed it to Chu Haoge: "He is right." ”
Chu Haoge looked at Jiuli Qiantaro very strangely, and he didn't know what she meant for a while, but seeing that she handed over the unroasted rabbit, Chu Haoge continued to do his work as a cook.
After a while, Chu Haoge cooked the two roast rabbits, Chu Haoge took out a little salt from the sachet bag on his waist and added it, after roasting, Chu Haoge was about to hand the one close to him to Murong Xiaoyan, but at this time, he saw Jiuli Qiantaro next to him stretching out his hand.
This can give Chu Haoge a lot of embarrassment, so he had to give the one in his hand to Jiuli Qiantaro and the other to Murong Xiaoyan, at this time, among the four people, Chu Haoge and Zhang Zhemao were empty, and the second daughter was holding a roast rabbit in his hand.
Murong Xiaoyan looked at Jiuli Qiantaro and muttered, "Just now I said that I shouldn't eat them......"
Several people were very close, although Murong Xiaoyan's words were not very loud, but several people heard them, Chu Haoge unconsciously looked at Jiuli Qiantaro, she really didn't seem to hear it, and fiddled with the rabbit meat in her hand.
In this way, everyone didn't speak again, and it was a lot quieter all of a sudden, Jiuli Qiantaro tore off a piece of the rabbit with his hands, put it in his mouth and chewed it in small bites, everyone was beautiful, and then handed the whole roast rabbit meat back to Chu Haoge, saying: "Master Chu, I'm not hungry yet, you can eat first." ”
With this action, Chu Haoge couldn't help but look at Jiuli Qiantaro very strangely, and said in his heart: "What does this mean?" Jiuli Qiantaro seemed to be full after only one bite, and today's series of behaviors were very different from her usual.
Looking at Murong Xiaoyan and Zhang Zhemao again, Murong Xiaoyan has already begun to eat in a big gulp, and gave half of it to Zhang Zhemao, the two of them are gnawing on rabbit meat, I have to say that Zhang Zhemao is very educated, and the concept of eating without words is deeply implemented, and he does not talk to several people when eating.
Chu Haoge glanced at Murong Xiaoyan, and then began to eat rabbit meat by himself, forgetting that he had only eaten a small bite of Jiuli Qiantaro next to him, and Jiuli Qiantaro went to the baggage at this time to get some dry food and ate it on the side.
……
At this time, there was a person standing on the treetops in the distance, it was the purple-black robed man who followed a few people near Xianglin Village last time, that person was standing upright, as if he had merged with the surroundings, and only a pair of bright eyes were revealed in the hat of the robe, and he was watching the dynamics of Chu Haoge and the others.
"Zhang Zhemao?" His voice was cold and hoarse, like the sound of scrub rubbing, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes, startling away a few nearby birds, but soon returned to normal.
……
Besides, on Chu Haoge's side, the four of them had already finished eating, and Murong Xiaoyan was about to get up and move, but as soon as he stood up, he collapsed again. Zhang Zhemao next to her was watching all this coldly, Jiuli Qiantaro was a little panicked, and hurriedly prepared to get up, but she didn't stand firm all of a sudden, and lay on the ground weakly, looking quite embarrassed, and her collapsed posture was reverie.
Chu Haoge's eyes suddenly froze, he glanced at Jiuli Qiantaro, and then prepared to get his Starlight Giant Sword, but he didn't have the strength to take the Starlight over, let alone lift it.
The three of them looked at Zhang Zhemao next to him, he got up very leisurely, and then Chu Haoge couldn't help but look solemn, and shouted: "Zhang Zhemao, who are you?!" ”
Zhang Zhemao didn't answer Chu Haoge's question, got up and walked beside Jiuli Qianyao, and didn't care about Murong Xiaoyan behind him, and said with a relaxed face: "At first, I was very curious, why didn't the two of you be captured by my charm. Saying that, he walked to Jiuli Qiantaro's side and said, "It turns out that you are from the Jiuli clan, that is, the Jiuli clan's tricks do restrain my charm." ”
Zhang Zhemao walked in front of Chu Haoge again, raised Chu Haoge's chin very ambiguously, and said, "And you ......" Saying that, he lowered his head and sniffed at Chu Haoge's neck, as if an evil boy had met a beautiful girl, and actually licked his neck, which made Chu Haoge have goosebumps all over his body, and said in his heart: "Could it be that I guessed correctly at the time, this person is really a rabbit master?" Immediately, the hand holding the star mangs tightened, and let go weakly, Zhang Zhemao continued: "Your blood contains powerful energy, if you absorb that energy, you can save me a thousand years of penance. As he spoke, he stroked Chu Haoge's body like a baby, laid him flat on the ground, got up by himself, and looked at the three of them.
The expressions of the three of them were slightly condensed, and Murong Xiaoyan at this time seemed to have returned to normal, giving people a completely different feeling from just now, and she did not defend Zhang Zhemao like before, she shouted: "You are really ungrateful!" But we saved you! ”
"Save?" Zhang Zhemao sneered, his hand shook suddenly, and he saw a thick tentacle like a whip poking out, and hit a big tree next to him that was hugged by two people, and then he saw that the thick tree exploded all of a sudden, and the top of the tree above suddenly turned down and smashed to the ground, and only the broken wood could be seen flying in the place where it was hit.
This action frightened the three of them, and Zhang Zhemao said with a smile on his face: "With you? Save me? ”
