Chapter 13: Overnight

Walking out of the west, He Jin was busy.

First, put the ingredients on the horse's body into the east kitchen, and then took a few horses to the northeast corner where the firewood was placed.

Since it was made of hay and the like, a shed was built against the wall to protect it from the wind and rain.

He Jin moved the firewood inside, enough to accommodate these horses, and a simple stable was ready.

The two hands swayed slightly, and the land in front of them slowly bulged, and under He Jin's control, they finally turned into three stone troughs up to one meter high, and the middle one was one size bigger than the one on both sides.

He Jin took a bucket of water from the east room, poured it into the stone troughs on both sides, and then put some soybeans into the stone trough in the middle, which was supposed to be the horse's dinner.

After dealing with the affairs of a few horses, He came in to the kitchen in the east room, looked at the many ingredients in front of him, and finally decided to make it simpler.

Two sweet potatoes are selected from the corner of the wall, peeled, diced, and boiled with mung beans and rice, and it is dinner. As for the dishes, except for those cooked foods, He Jin didn't plan to stir-fry, He Jin prepared a barbecue.

Although he has been back for a week, he really hasn't made a fire to cook, so although he has all the tools for stir-frying, he really can't take it out and use it, after all, he has to make a fire for stir-frying.

With coal, it takes a long time just to start a fire; If you use firewood, it will not only take time, but also take longer; As for natural gas, the Taoist temple didn't buy it at all.

So He Jin finally decided to simply make some barbecue, after all, barbecue is more convenient, and he has all the tools he should have here.

Lifting the barbecue grill outside, He Jin took some firewood from the stable, lit it and put it under the barbecue grill, and then took some broken coal from the kitchen and placed it evenly on the firewood.

When these busyes are over, He Jin only has to wait slowly for the fire to start, but He Jin is destined to be idle today, he still has to cut the meat into pieces suitable for barbecue, and then skewer them.

Not only meat skewers, but also vegetable skewers......

When He Jin was busy, Liu Yunfei didn't suppress the curiosity in her heart after all, brushed aside the Tao Te Ching, and took a copy of the patriarch's notes in He Jin's mouth at random.

"Twenty years of Kangxi, Yu traveled to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and ......"

The notes are not pretended to be written in a profound way to be obscure, they are written in a simple and easy to understand, and they are full of fun, although there is some trouble in breaking sentences, but after all, they are just some troubles.

As a top student, Liu Yunfei was still able to read these notes without breaking sentences, so Liu Yunfei quickly fell into the customs and customs written in this book.

The mouth-watering snacks under the bridge, the strange prescriptions prescribed by the pharmacies, and the strong men fighting tigers in the mountains...... Everything, like a picture scroll, showed everything hundreds of years ago in front of Liu Yunfei, making her read it with relish, and even forgot the passage of time.

After all, it is the notes of the predecessors, or personal experience, and the credibility is much higher than the legends of wild history, so it is still very interesting to read.

"It's time to eat!"

It wasn't until He Jin's angry voice came in that Liu Yunfei woke up.

A little weak-hearted put the notes in their original positions, Liu Yunfei knocked on Liu Meng's little head: "Eat, stop playing games." ”

"Let's play a little longer." Liu Meng's eyes were staring at the computer screen.

Liu Yunfei looked at her phone, it was almost seven o'clock, and it was almost dark outside, if she delayed it any longer, I am afraid it would be much more difficult to go down the mountain.

"Liu Meng!" Liu Yunfei shouted with a straight face and didn't say anything more.

Liu Meng, who was playing a game, naturally read the unhappy mood from Liu Yunfei's dark face, and pursed her mouth, Liu Meng minimized the web page.

The mother and daughter walked out of the west room, and tables and chairs had been set up in the courtyard, with cooked cold dishes and porridge on them.

"You sit down and eat first." He Jin said to the mother and daughter.

Liu Yunfei glanced at the sky with some concern, and did not push, and directly pulled Liu Meng to sit at the table and eat.

"Uncle Daoist, why don't you eat together?" Liu Meng drank a bowl of porridge, leaned back in a chair, and asked with her head tilted.

He Jin shrugged his shoulders, added seasoning to a handful of barbecue, and after placing it on a large plate on the table, he said with a smile: "When you leave, I'll eat it again." It's not early now, time is running out, and you have to go down the mountain after eating. ”

Hearing He Jin take the initiative to mention this issue, Liu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, since He Jin did not keep their mother and daughter, it means that this person did not have any bad intentions, and he can be regarded as a righteous gentleman.

Perhaps, it is really a Taoist priest with a pure heart and few desires, Liu Yunfei muttered in her heart.

Liu Meng didn't know that her mother had thought so much in a short period of time, she heard He Jin's words, she was immediately a little reluctant, and asked expectantly: "Uncle Daoist, is the pony going down the mountain with me?" ”

"The pony needs to rest." He Jin shook his head, looked at Liu Meng with a disappointed face, and said with a smile: "Don't cry with a sad face, I can take the pony down the mountain to find you tomorrow." ”

"Yay! Uncle Taoist is the best! Liu Meng waved her hand, and then continued to bow her head to drink porridge and eat vegetables.

He Jin continued to barbecue.

The meal lasted until more than seven o'clock, seeing that the time was not early, and the sky was even more like dark clouds before a storm, He Jin put down the skewers and said, "Have you eaten enough?" When you're full, go down the mountain, or it will be dark in a while. ”

"I'm full, Uncle Taoist, I'm full." Liu Meng stood on the chair and patted her round belly with her hand.

He Jin nodded and began to clean up the food, while Liu Yunfei took Liu Meng to wash his hands.

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain!" He Jin walked in the front with a flashlight, Liu Yunfei walked in the back, and Liu Meng was in the middle, and the two little hands were held by two adults.

Pushing open the door of the Taoist temple, a cool breeze hit instantly, Liu Yunfei had a dense layer of goosebumps all over her body, and Liu Meng shivered.

Looking inside and outside is like two worlds, although she hasn't left yet, Liu Yunfei misses Yuntai a little.

"Isn't it a little cold?" He Jin asked with some concern.

"It's not cold, it's not ...... at all Ah ...... "Liu Meng was saying, and he sneezed involuntarily.

This sneeze was like a fuse, and Liu Meng sneezed several times in succession, twitching her nose very uncomfortably.

With a frown, He Jin said, "Then let's hurry up." ”

Day and night, there is no difference for He Jin, but for Liu Meng and Liu Yunfei, it is completely different.

When I went up the mountain in the afternoon, the sun had not yet completely set, and there were still herds of horses; Now, it's getting dark, and it's so cold outside......

Walking into the woods, the sky darkened suddenly, listening to the whining wind around him, and then thinking of the three people in the whole mountain, Liu Yunfei felt a little cold behind her back, and her hand held with Liu Meng tighter.

"Ah sneeze......" Liu Meng was still sneezing.

Night roads, especially those like sheep's intestine trails, are difficult to walk, and even on both sides of some roads, there are tall rocks on the left and slopes on the right.

Yuntai Mountain is not better than Mount Tai, Mount Tai not only has lights at night, but also has ladders to repair, although some steps are steeper, but compared with the dirt road of Yuntai Mountain, it is nothing.

From the halfway up the mountain to the Yuntai Temple, I walked for nearly half an hour when I went up the mountain; And now, after ten minutes of walking, it is not even a fifth.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Yunfei was a little depressed, at this rate, it would take at least an hour to reach the halfway up the mountain.

This distraction, Liu Yunfei didn't pay attention to her feet, stepped on an empty pit, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Ah......" Feeling a burst of pain in her feet, Liu Yunfei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Liu Meng asked with some concern.

"It's fine." Liu Yunfei squeezed out a smile, leaned on a tree on the side of the road, stood up, and just took a step forward, the pain from the soles of her feet made Liu Yunfei's forehead sweat.

He Jin frowned, he didn't know how to treat injuries, sighed, bent down directly, hugged Liu Meng in his arms, and then turned his head and walked towards the mountain: "Go, go up the mountain." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yunfei didn't react at once.

He Jin pointed to Liu Yunfei's feet: "From here to the halfway up the mountain, according to the current state, it will take at least more than an hour." Your foot is broken, so rest well. ”

Liu Yunfei was silent, what He Jin said was indeed right.

"Besides, the night in the mountains is relatively cold, and you two are dressed so thinly, you are better as an adult, and the little girl stays in the mountains for an hour, and she is bound to freeze."

Just as He Jin was talking, the little girl snorted.

"Take a look." He Jin shook his head: "The little girl has encountered so many things today, what if she gets sick again...... So, now go up the mountain. Little girl, do you say it's good? ”

"Good!" Liu Meng giggled.

Not allowing Liu Yunfei to refuse, He Jin changed his posture, hugged Liu Meng with his left hand, and held Liu Yunfei's left arm with his free right hand: "Go, I'll carry you up." ”

Liu Yunfei opened her mouth, and subconsciously wanted to pull out her arm, but she struggled twice, but she didn't break free, and her foot hurt so badly that she sighed, and she walked up the mountain by He Jin.

This time, because he had to take care of the injured Liu Yunfei, the speed of going up the mountain was much slower, and it took a full twenty minutes to return to Yuntai Temple.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the Taoist temple, the cold wind outside dissipated, Liu Meng jumped up and continued to play the game, and He Jin held Liu Yunfei and sat on the chair that had not been confiscated.

After settling Liu Yunfei, He Jin went to the house to get some medicinal wine. Living in the mountains, who doesn't have some medicine for bruises, insect bites and snake bites?

"You rub it yourself, then massage it for a while, and you'll be gone in a while. As long as you don't do strenuous exercise, you will probably be fine tomorrow. After a brief explanation, He Jin began to eat, and he was still hungry.
