If God really has a favorite in the world, then this favorite must be Ji Ruoxue.

Because, almost every time Ji Ruoxue has something to look forward to, things will always develop according to what she expects. For example, when Ji Ruoxue secretly prayed in her heart to snow, snowflakes fell in the sky very quickly; When Ji Ruoxue wanted to get rid of the sword-casting Lu cloth-clothed swordsman and hoped that someone could stop them for him, Ram Tian appeared at the right time...... And now, just as Ji Ruoxue was crying about the bowl of chicken soup in her dream, suddenly, a rich fragrance wafted from a distance and entered her nostrils.

……

Ji Ruoxue couldn't help frowning when she smelled the fragrance, well, it was the fragrance of chicken soup, and it seemed to be the same as the chicken soup in her dream just now......

There is a saying that "there is a thought in the day, and a dream in the night".

There is also a saying that "if you don't forget, there will be an echo".

These two sentences were originally not specifically related, but now they can be used on Ji Ruoxue's body at the same time.

"Little flower, where to taste."

Ji Ruoxue screamed and patted the elk's neck.

Elk Xiaohua instantly understood what Ji Ruoxue meant, and began to smell the fragrance and run away.

……

After passing through a small forest, Ji Ruoxue saw a small courtyard from a distance.

"Where, Xiaohua hurry up." Ji Ruoxue excitedly pointed to the small courtyard, urging the elk Xiaohua to speed up her pace.

But what is strange is that the elk, who has always been tame and well-versed, did not listen to Ji Ruoxue's orders when he saw that small courtyard, stopped galloping, stopped, and glanced back at Ji Ruoxue.

But Ji Ruoxue's mind was full of the fragrance of chicken soup at this time, and she couldn't care about Xiaohua's movements at all...... Under Ji Ruoxue's repeated urging, Xiaohua finally took a step, but she refused to use her true speed to run at any point, but moved forward very slowly......

If animals also have expressions, then Elk Floret's expression at this time is undoubtedly full of awe and solemnity, as if those people of faith want to worship the holy place of the monarch in their hearts.

……

After getting close to the courtyard, Ji Ruoxue finally saw the whole appearance of the small courtyard, the courtyard as a whole looked a little dilapidated, the courtyard wall made of mud was dilapidated, and the two courtyard doors in the middle were also sandwiched with sticks, through the courtyard wall, it could be seen that the roof was built with ordinary bluestone slabs, and the bluestone slabs were also covered with moss...... Looking at this scene, Ji Ruoxue was also a little hesitant.

Just now, Ji Ruoxue came looking for the fragrance all the way, and she also noticed that within a radius of 100 miles, except for this small courtyard, there was no other courtyard with people...... In other words, this is the only courtyard.

Deep mountains and forests, cold winds and lonely snow, plus lonely and decadent courtyards...... After these were put together, Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but think of those mountain spirits and wild monsters who had practiced for thousands of years in dramas and legends to change into human forms to harm people's lives...... Although Ji Ruoxue was a little scared and nervous at this time, after getting close to here, the fragrance of the chicken soup also became more and more intense, and it was already possible to determine that the source of the fragrance of the chicken soup was in this small courtyard.

Although Ji Ruoxue was afraid of the mountain spirits and wild monsters and wanted to turn around and leave immediately, the smell of chicken soup made her unable to move.

"Mountain spirits aren't all bad, are they? As mentioned in the play, there are some mountain spirits and wild monsters who are also very kind and simple, right? ......" Ji Ruoxue said to herself to Xiaohua, hoping to get its approval.

Elk Xiaohua did not turn her head in response to her as usual, but lowered her head and stood quietly outside the courtyard.

The aroma of the chicken soup is tempting, and the legend of the mountain spirits and monsters is scary.

With these two things in her mind at the same time, Ji Ruoxue was also a little hesitant.

……

I don't know how long time has passed, but Ji Ruoxue's desire for chicken soup in her heart still overcame her fear of mountain spirits and wild monsters.

"Anyone?" Ji Ruoxue shouted softly.

With a "creak", the wind blew the courtyard door and made a sound, which startled Ji Ruoxue.

After Ji Ruoxue stabilized, she took a few steps closer to the courtyard gate carelessly.

"Anyone?" Ji Ruoxue shouted softly again, but still no one responded.

Ji Ruoxue poked her head carelessly, and the courtyard door spliced together with a tree stick was hidden, and she could see that there was a small stove under the eaves of the house inside, and a small casserole was boiling on the small stove, and the small casserole was full of clouds and mist, and it kept making a "grunt, grunt" sound, although the casserole was not opened, Ji Ruoxue had already determined that the casserole must be stewed with chicken soup.

"Anyone? I'm coming in......" Ji Ruoxue shouted repeatedly, and carefully placed her hands on the small door in the courtyard wall.

There was a "creak", and the courtyard door was pushed open, but no one came out of the courtyard.

"Is anyone home?"

Ji Xiaoxue walked into the courtyard, looked around, and found that although the courtyard was also very broken, it was very clean.

The courtyard is not large, except for three small houses side by side, there is only a small courtyard left, although the courtyard is small, but the inside is full. On the left side of the courtyard there is a small stone mill and a large water tank, and there is a small stone table and a stone bench in the middle, and on the other side of the courtyard, there is a small vegetable garden surrounded by stones, and there is a small hoe on the courtyard wall next to the vegetable garden, and under the eaves are several bunches of dried red peppers and a few bunches of dried garlic...... After seeing all this, Ji Ruoxue was really relieved, she could already be sure that there were people living in this courtyard and not some mountain spirits and wild monsters, because she had never heard of mountain spirits and wild monsters growing their own vegetables in the play......

After looking around, Ji Ruoxue's eyes were all focused on the casserole on the stove, and there was a "gurgling" sound from the casserole, and the steam hit the lid up and down, and the fragrance filled the entire courtyard...... Ji Ruoxue walked under the eaves and greedily sucked the aroma of chicken soup, very satisfied.

But after sucking the aroma, Ji Ruoxue's stomach became even more hungry...... She wanted to open the lid and scoop out a bowl of chicken soup, but she stiffly restrained herself.

Now that it is certain that this yard is inhabited, this chicken soup must also have an owner. Since there is a master, then Ji Ruoxue must get the permission of the master to drink chicken soup, and she has to endure hunger without permission...... "If you take it without asking, it will be regarded as stealing." Ji Ruoxue didn't want to be a thief herself.

"The master must have gone out, I'll wait here for him to come back, and then buy a bowl of chicken soup with him......" Ji Ruoxue thought so, and then squatted next to the stove, staring intently at the chicken soup on the stove.

……

The chicken soup in the pot was "gurgling", and Ji Ruoxue's stomach was also "gurgling".

"Bear with me, when the owner of the chicken soup comes back, I will definitely let you eat to your heart's content......" Ji Ruoxue comforted her stomach with a self-muttering voice.

"But when will the master come back? Why is there such a delicious pot of chicken soup, but you can't find anyone? Ji Ruoxue looked at the courtyard gate with blank eyes, waiting for the owner of the courtyard to come back, but fell asleep unconsciously.

There was a "creak" and the door slammed.

But it was not the door in the courtyard that rang, but the door in the hut that was opened, and an unkempt old man walked out, the old man looked a little thin, and his clothes were a little shabby, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were even more magical, not only were they not as dull as ordinary old people, but there was still a god in them compared to the eyes of ordinary young people, and there seemed to be thousands of stars hidden in them.

The old man walked out of the room and let out a long yawn, then twisted his neck and stretched, then turned his gaze to the chicken soup.

Ji Ruoxue also woke up the moment the door rang, and by the time the old man turned around, he had already stood up.

Just when the old man was about to speak, Ji Ruoxue had already bent down and apologized to the old man: "I'm sorry old man, Xue'er didn't know that you were at home, and you broke in without your permission, it's really that the aroma of the chicken soup you cooked is too tempting......"

The old man smiled and looked at Ji Ruoxue to listen to her, and when he heard her mention the chicken soup, he glanced at the casserole on the stove, and when he saw that the casserole lid was still intact, his smile became even stronger.

"Want to drink?" The old man asked.

"Uh-huh." Ji Ruoxue nodded again and again, watched the old man take out a silver ticket, and asked, "Old man, can I buy you a bowl of chicken soup to drink?" ”

The old man looked at the silver ticket in Ji Ruoxue's hand and smiled: "One hundred taels of silver tickets to buy chicken soup?" You must be a rich man. ”

"Still." The old man changed his words and quipped: "This hundred taels of silver tickets can't buy me a bowl of chicken soup?" ”

"Cher still has money." Ji Ruoxue said as she took out a few more silver tickets from her sleeve and handed them to the old man, "Xue'er only has this money, can the old man give me a small bowl to drink?" ”

The old man looked at these silver tickets and then looked at Ji Ruoxue, and smiled: "Put away the silver tickets!" ”

Ji Ruoxue was a little disappointed when she saw this, but she still bowed to the old man seriously and said, "I'm bothering the old man." ”

Just when Ji Ruoxue was about to turn around and leave, she heard the old man say: "If you want to drink, go to the kitchen and get a bowl to serve, I only said that I won't sell your chicken soup, and I didn't say that I won't let you drink chicken soup." ”

"Old man, ...... you," Ji Ruoxue wondered.

The old man pointed to the small room next to him and said with a smile, "The kitchen is there, go get two bowls." ”

"Hmm." Ji Ruoxue answered and ran into the kitchen happily.
