Chapter 11: Early Morning
In the early morning of the next day, with a miserable rooster crow, the entire forest and fishing mountain began to be lively.
The temperature in the mountains was already cooler than in the city, not to mention that it was winter at this time, Li Mu endured the chill and got up early in the morning, scolded and went up the back mountain, caught an old hen with the help of steamed buns, and picked up ten wild eggs.
After beating two wild eggs to feed the two little white foxes who were woken up, Li Mu took a pair of scissors and began to bleed the old hen.
The old hen's chicken blood was very much, and it was enough to fill a big bowl, and in this cold mountain, in less than half an hour, this bowl of hot chicken blood was frozen.
Li Mu boiled several large pots of boiling water after letting out the blood, plucked the old hen's feathers, and then cleaned up its five internal organs, and put it into the pot and simmered it over slow heat.
Such a busy job, the sky is bright, the steamed buns are two black and three colors, they are also flattering and wagging their tails to beg for food, usually they are looking for food on the mountain by themselves, but as long as Li Mu is here, they will definitely come.
There was already a lot of rice stored in the house, and Li Mu was not stingy, he boiled a big pot, and one person and five dogs squatted in the sun with freshly fried wild eggs and ate happily.
After breakfast, the steamed buns and others went up the mountain to waste.
Li Mule was leisurely, watching the old hen in the pot gradually exude fragrance, and he put some sliced ginger into it to remove the earthy smell.
Then he went down to the fish pond, fished half a bucket of purple shrimp, and carefully selected the small ones back, leaving only the big ones.
Li Mu grabbed a few purple shrimp at random, and they all had a faint blue silk thread on their backs, which was the symbol of the second generation of purple shrimp.
After hastily cleaning it, Li Mu soaked the purple shrimp in clean water, and poured some liquor into it, he still wants to make spicy purple shrimp today, but he knew from Qin Xin that Lei Lao likes to drink liquor, but considering that his body is not good, Li Mu plans to make a white wine-flavored spicy purple shrimp, which will not affect Lei Lao's body, but also relieve Lei Lao's hangover.
After that, Li Mu went to clean up the vegetables he picked yesterday, cleaned them, cut them and put them on plates one by one, so that it was convenient to cook at noon.
The old hen in the pot was stewed more and more fragrant, and the second general came to the pot with two pairs of big and round eyes, smelling the aroma, but the nature of the animals made them dare not get too close, and looked pitifully at the pot on the string of small fires.
Li Mu saw that he was afraid that the fire would burn them, so he hurriedly grabbed them one by one, small animals should see more sunlight, do you want to be a house beast if you hide in the house all day long?
Although the temperature outside was low, the sun still had a little warmth, Li Mu put the two little white foxes in the sun, watched them pounce and entangle, and then snuggled together, before leaving satisfied.
After working blindly for a while, there was a sound of steam on the road outside the mountain.
Didi!
Didi~
Li Mulian came out to greet him, imagining that the founding hero was coming, and he was so happy and nervous that he couldn't help himself.
There were two cars on the road, a Hummer and a BMW, which were the cars of Lei Mingyi and Qin Xin.
The car stopped not far from the hut, and before Li Mu stepped forward, an excited voice came down.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai."
Then, a petite and delicate figure ran behind Li Mu from the car.
"Boom. Boom. ”
Xiao Man saw the two little white foxes snuggling together and dozing in the sun, and when he saw their cute appearance, his heart was already itching.
"Don't just name them, Xiao Man, they're my second general."
"Cheesy, vulgar, vulgar!" Xiao Man squatted on the ground and carefully stroked the white fox's soft hair, his face full of love.
"Li Mu, I came so early, I didn't bother you."
Lei Mingyi got out of the Humvee, opened the door to the back seat of the BMW, and helped a thin old man with gray hair to get out of the car.
"Haha, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, what a good place." The white-haired old man looked around at Lin Yushan and nodded with satisfaction, "It's just a little colder." ”
Li Mu knew at first sight that this white-haired old man was Lei Mingyi's grandfather, and Lei Jiefang, the founding hero of Huaguo, was old and busy stepping forward to greet him.
Lei Lao is really as Qin Xin said, he speaks loudly and roughly, but it is very real and kind to people's ears.
"Grandpa Lei, let's go into the house, the temperature has indeed dropped a lot today." Qin Xin also got out of the car, nodded at Li Mu, and then helped Lei Lao into the house.
The two cars swarmed down a few people, but there were also many acquaintances.
In addition to Lei Mingyi and Qin Xin Xiaoman, Lin Xi also came, as well as Lei Lao, Sun Xiansun Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a very imposing middle-aged man, with a national face, he is a senior civil servant at a glance, it is Lei Mingyi's father Lei Jianjun, the number one in charge of the security of the northeast, one of the few powerful people in Tianmen City.
The group entered the house and sat down, Li Mu was embarrassed to find that there were not enough stools, and he forgot to buy a few stools, Li Mu was ashamed and embarrassed.
Xiao Man came in with two little foxes, and when he saw that the position was not enough, he even made a grimace at Li Mu, and then ran out into the sun to play with Hum Ha again.
"Well, I'm sorry, I forgot." Li Mugan smiled and rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do.
But it was the old man who spoke for the first time: "Hahaha, it's okay to stand, young people should stand, think about the time of the Anti-Japanese War, let's." ”
"Ahem, grandpa, you sit first, sit." Lei Mingyi saw that the old man was interested in talking about the War of Resistance again, and even interjected, "Old Doctor Sun, you also sit, Dad, sit here." ”
There are only four stools in the house, Lei Lao, Lei Father, and Sun Lao sit on three, but no one dares to sit on the remaining one.
"Li Mu, why are you standing, you also sit, if you don't sit down, we old men won't be able to sit down." Master Lei said with a smile, "Not to mention that you still have two lives for me." ”
Li Mulian didn't dare to refuse: "Master Lei, don't say that, it's just the right time." ”
When Sun Lao heard this, he also showed a faint smile: "It's a good coincidence, the young man's cultivation is good, and he is not arrogant or impatient." ”
Because he had introduced it outside before, Li Mu hurriedly responded: "Lao Sun old Chinese medicine praised it." ”
Seeing that Sun Lao was about to praise again, Li Mu hurriedly accused him and ran to the kitchen to make tea.
The two old men laughed and talked in a low voice, and Father Lei called Lei Mingyi aside to ask about Li Mu's situation, while Lin Xi walked to Qin Xin's side.
"Qin Xin, do you know, Zhang He is going back to China."
Lin Xi carefully observed the subtle expression on Qin Xin's face, but was very shocked to find that there was a stunned expression on her face, just like when you suddenly mentioned a stranger, she didn't remember that this was her elementary school classmate until she thought about it.
Qin Xin didn't expect Lin Xi to tell her about it, but when he heard Zhang He's news again, Qin Xin didn't have much joy or disgust in his heart, it was like suddenly mentioning an old person who had been dusty in his memory for many years, leaving only some faint memories that were about to be forgotten.
"Yes." Qin Xin responded, and it was only at this time that she was sure that she had really let go of that relationship.
Lin Xi asked, "You don't want him?" He's going to settle down in the country when he comes back this time, me. ”
Qin Xin interrupted without waiting for her to finish: "Actually, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this person, if you still think of him, you don't have to tell me." ”
Qin Xin's faint words stabbed Lin Xi's death hole, and her face immediately darkened.
