Section 59 Guests and hosts rejoice
When Su Shi heard this, he only felt that the master was becoming more and more incomprehensible, and there were too many mysteries about the young man in front of him, such as: Who is he? What do you do for a living? Where did he come from? Where are you going? Every time I ask him, I get a bigger obstacle, and he doesn't really want people to know, so he doesn't say anything but makes people more curious.
She couldn't understand: Why was Jiang Langting willing to save herself? Do you still carry oil bottles with you?
However, Su Shi's curiosity about the master was far from enough to break the casserole and ask to the end; And Jiang Langting, her master and benefactor are not very close to herself, and she probably doesn't want to be intimate, so she is still a stranger; I can't figure out the temperament of this weird person because I don't understand each other, and I'm afraid that it will be even more annoying to bump into it, so I don't ask at all.
The best situation is now: Su Shi has his protection, and he does not violate the river water with his well water. How good it would be if it was always this kind of relationship.
It's a pity that there are always many unsatisfactory people in this world, and Su Shi definitely can't imagine that the man in front of him has been entangled with him for a whole life - two seemingly unrelated rivers have finally merged and met one day, and they are pushed and blown by the wind of fate together, flowing in a direction that neither of them expected or controlled. That's for later.
Jiang Langting said that the land of Shuojue Villa could not be planted with his lifeline.
What does that mean?
It turned out that despite the lapse of many years, the onset of the Soul Locking Spell was still the same. And its nemesis, the juice of the heart grass, also needs to be taken and drunk to be the most effective; The less fresh it is, the less features it compromises.
Along the way, except for the Langya Valley and the Yiwang Valley in Bashu, there was no trace of the heart grass. He searched carefully, and found that the roots of the grass did not absorb water in the first place, but used its leaves to absorb water vapor from the air, and he especially preferred the mist in the valley at dusk. If it is in a nearby place, especially the further northwest it is, the more arid it is, and it is not impossible to survive, but its stalks cannot hold water, so it cannot squeeze the juice, so it can be said that it is completely useless.
Jiang Langting squatted down and sniffed the soil in Shuobei, which was very dry. A tide-loving thing like the heart grass will definitely not survive.
But fortunately, Jiang Langting brought with him four bottles of the juice of the heart grass, which was enough to walk in the world for four months. But even so, you have to go back within four months, and a little later, you have to suffer the pain of ten thousand ants eating your bones.
It's only been four months, can Master find him?
He patted the soil on his hands, stood up and was about to say something to Su Shi, when he saw the old man who had greeted them knocking on the door again and coming in, and said, "Son, the old man sent you to the front hall for dinner." ”
Jiang Langting took Su Shi to follow the old man, and the route was not the same, but along the way, the gray walls and gray tiles, green trees and red flowers were the same, but on the way he passed through a courtyard, which was very tightly closed. The dust in front of the door was also thick, as if the owner lived in a simple house and no one visited. Because it was the inner courtyard, Jiang Langting wondered which room he must be the female dependent of his senior brother Zhang Conggu, but because he was not very familiar with him, it was more in line with the duty of the guest.
So a group of people hurriedly passed by, Jiang Langting had not gone far, they heard the woman's voice, arguing, he suddenly had an answer in his heart, when he turned around, sure enough, it was the courtyard, only to see a plump arm put a food box on the ground, pushing a maid-like woman out, and then took it back and tied the door from the inside.
The girl slammed the door and shouted, "Mrs. Qing, Mrs. Qing, please spare me." I can't go again! Spare me! But the door did not move. Seeing that the two guests stopped, the old man who led the way coughed and pulled the eyes of the pair of masters and apprentices back. The two of them felt rude and hurriedly urged: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to delay for too long, you can take us quickly." ”
So, before the moon climbed, a group of three people arrived at the main hall in a few moments. This meal is really sumptuous: I saw a large round table with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, rare melons and fruits, and the girl was still moving up like water. It was getting late, and a few clusters of candles were lit in the hall, shining as bright as day.
Seeing that everyone was together, Zhang Conggu took Zhang Hengzhi and quickly left the table and got up, beckoning the two to sit down.
Jiang Langting naturally sat on the right next to Zhang Conggu, and Heng Zhi sat on his father's left, and Su Shi wanted to stand behind the master like a few maids at first, but who knew that Jiang Langting directly held her arm and pressed it down when she sat down, which was very powerful and taught her not to resist, so she also followed the master to sit in the second place on the right side of the master.
This action may be a bit excessive, Zhang Conggu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't seem to be strange at all, but Hengzhi, whose eyes were almost glued to her since Su Shi entered the room, widened his eyes, and it wasn't until he was understated by the uncle in the dark gauze robe that he quickly changed to a casual look.
Zhang Conggu looked at his son, and unexpectedly glanced at the little girl next to his junior brother: delicate and graceful, middle-to-top, a pair of eyes are very bright, and you can imagine how it should be when she grows up.
After looking at it in his heart for a moment, Zhang Conggu poured wine for Jiang Langting and said, "There is nothing to entertain in our place, there are no delicacies, and the coarse tea and light rice are still made." These are all daily foods, but you have lived in Bashu for a long time, and I am in Shuobei, so there are inevitably some differences in taste, and I don't know if you like it or not, so try it. ”
Jiang Langting saw these many dishes and was waiting to be served, Zhang Conggu said enthusiastically: "Senior brother, forget about the dishes on the side, but you must taste a few bites of this golden flower elbow." ”
Jiang Langting saw that the elbow was golden in color and fragrant, so he put a piece in his mouth according to his words, and at first he only felt that it was fragrant and spicy, and it was very tender. Taste it carefully, fat but not greasy, it is actually the fragrance of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and other herbs - stewed meat with medicine, who came up with such an ingenious idea?
Zhang Conggu was complacent: "This is a fresh elbow that I only got this morning, soaked in medicinal water all day, and took it from the kitchen at night." From medicine to meat, it's all good. ”
Jiang Langting saw that he was proud, so he replied truthfully: "It is a good food." So the staggered planning, the host and the guest were happy, and the meal was very enjoyable.
When he was full of wine and food, a wire report came from outside, Zhang Conggu wanted to deal with business, Jiang Langting took Su Shi and retired first.
