Chapter 40: Outing

On the big bluestone by the waterhole, Lu Fan sat on it while washing the wild vegetables he dug up, while looking at the bamboo he braided with bamboo, whether he caught fish and crabs, and the new clothes that he had changed to in order to give the county lord a good impression were now half dumped and half thrown into the water, and the original white clothes were now gray and white.

Not far from the waterhole, beside the tent, cooking utensils had been set up on the bonfire, and the bored two maids played "The wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows." 'The burning of the wasteland.

However, every time a wildfire spreads to the trees on the grass, a ball of water falls from the sky to extinguish the fire and prevent it from burning the barren land into a burning mountain.

Lu Fan is tired of the 'fire-fighting operation' with his hands, which not only makes the two maids have a good time, but also closes the relationship with them.

Looking at the shepherd's cabbage that I dug up, it was white and tender after washing, and there was a faint wild fragrance, as well as a lot of mountain ginger, fungus, mushrooms, and a few wild ginseng as thin as grass, all of which were put into the cooking utensils on the bonfire, and put the caught mountain hairy crab mountain and saury and black-backed crucian carp into it together to have a hodgepodge.

When Lu Fan was a child, he and his father's favorite way to eat this is both trouble-free and fragrant, which is also a very common practice for mountain farmers.

Add salt, pepper from the mountains, black pepper, and a little vegetable oil, and before eating, it's best to add a little coriander.

Looking at the flowing cold pool water, there are dense green or yellow ginkgo leaves, yellow or red maple leaves, mixed with a lot of unknown leaves, small fish on the waterhole are free to feed and jump and play, occasionally there are larger fish stirring the water, the water is moving, a gust of wind blows the whole mountain forest, the sound of falling leaves 'sassy' sounds, the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and a large piece of the pool blows, and Lu Fan's body is also stained with a few fallen leaves.

The sunset has not yet completely set, but the mountains have already dimmed, a gust of autumn wind swept by, and the boundless fallen leaves fell, Lu Fan also felt a chill, came to the bonfire and sat down, smelling the fragrance wafting from the pot, listening to the soup in the pot gurgling, the bonfire crackling, and his heart was warm.

Watching the bonfire float around, flickering in and out, this moment away from the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital, returning to the tranquility of nature, enjoying and looking forward to the results of your efforts, maybe you won't feel powerless at this moment.

Returning to this long-lost life, a wisp of burning smoke drifted in front of Lu Fan's eyes, and he suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Maybe it's Lu Fan's eagerness to succeed, but he has nowhere to tell.

Maybe it's really smoked.

In short, at this moment, the cowardly and strong Lu Fan secretly left tears, unable to tell whether it was sadness or joy, or both.

This long-lost tranquility, at this moment, this situation and this scene makes Lu Fan feel at home, even if it is in the wild.

Although the burning was not finished, but it was late, the two maids returned to the tent camp unsatisfied, sat down to rest, after this period of time 'master and servant' got along, the two girls knew that their master was a good person, so there was not too much restraint.

I just wanted to sweep the fallen leaves off the tent, but after thinking about it, this may be more interesting than an outing, so I just forget it.

Smelling the wafting around, the wildfires burning the wasteland, the crackling sound of dead branches and fallen leaves, the smell of burning wood, I didn't feel anything after a day's fatigue.

Quietly walked to Lu Fan's side, they didn't understand that the young master was always so depressed, isn't life good now, this kind of life is the life they have longed for for a long time!

"Young master, the fire over there is about to burn into the woods" Qiu Tan interrupted Lu Fan's silence in a daze.

Lu Fan casually extinguished the pitiful flame, and seeing that the ashes of the fire were still some distance away from the woods, Lu Fan smiled

"Come and eat soup, drink some soup to warm up when it's cold, have a good rest tonight, and go back tomorrow"

The two maids nodded, "um", and began to serve soup to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "If you have a chance in the future, you will come out to play again." ”

After hearing this, the two of them immediately cheered, and the three of them sat down, without saying a word, chatting about some inconsequential words, drinking hot soup, sweating profusely, and not having to worry about the rule of 'eating without words'.

Drinking a little wine is the best way to promote feelings, but Lu Fan's is very poor, and his face turns red when he drinks it, so Lu Fan doesn't drink too much every time.

This time in the wild, I just brought a little rice wine, but I was afraid of getting drunk, and the wilderness and forests were not as good as the city, where snakes, insects, rats and ants were everywhere, and there were often wild beasts.

The three of them drank to the right place, looked up at the starry sky, it was the moon and the stars.

Lu Fan was just about to speak again, only to feel that the ground trembled slightly, and on the mountain path in the distance, more than a dozen torches were lit, and a group of people walked towards him.

Lu Fan and the three of them all stared at the flickering torches in the forest, although there would be no bandits at the foot of the Heavenly City, but it was always not wrong to be careful.

When you get closer, you can see a few people in front of you who are sturdy and have extraordinary skills at a glance to open the way in front, and six people in the back are riding horses and walking slowly behind, and there are many people behind them who look ordinary, but have a strong anger and a faint murderous aura, and are always on guard all around.

Immediately, two of the six people were women, and in the night, through the light of the fire, they could be seen faintly, a woman in a blue brocade dress, and a woman in a pink dress.

By the light of the fire, Lu Fan vaguely felt that he had seen the two of them somewhere, and when he got closer, he saw a wolf-like dog pet beside the woman in pink, and it was a feathered wolf if he looked closely, but his hair had been trimmed to the point that he couldn't look like it. So much so that Lu Fan couldn't recognize it at a glance.

A man on horseback turned his head and asked, "Is the princess unwell?"

The woman in pink muttered: "It's not as useful as my pet, I still have to look at my 'evil wolf' at the critical moment, and our beautiful women still have to be saved by 'evil wolf'."

The man was about to refute, but he thought that a good man should not fight with a woman, but should have a gentlemanly demeanor, so he had to shake his head and say nothing, and the others also laughed secretly in their hearts.

At a glance, it is known that it is the pearl of everyone's palms, and it is also a headache, so it is inevitable that the nails that the man touches, and no one is surprised.

"Second brother, fourth brother, tenth brother, you were too embarrassed just now. ”

It turned out that this group of people was the county lord, Princess Hesu, the second prince, the fourth prince, the tenth prince and Nalan and his party.

"You're not the same, you're almost crying. The Ten Emperors said a little unconvinced

Among the many princes, only the ten princes are not a few years older than the youngest county lord, although the ten princes also love their own county lord sister, but he is still childish, and he likes to quarrel with his county lord sister in trivial matters, grinding his teeth.

And others also like to watch the wicked grind with the wicked.

"The two of us are girls, so it's normal to be afraid," Wei Ruozhang said as a matter of course

"Okay, don't make any noise, it's dark and slippery, be careful, we should get out of the range of the hummingbirds now, we should be safe now, find a better place, and camp in the open." The fourth prince stopped the two from bickering in a timely manner, and the second prince on the side nodded and agreed.

Here Lu Fan watched the large group of people gradually come this way, there seemed to be a dog in the crowd that looked like a wolf but not a wolf followed, and if he looked carefully, it was not the feathered wolf, and he finally knew why he looked at the two women familiarly.

Seeing that the person he had been waiting for for so hard came by himself when he didn't have any hope, Lu Fan's heart became excited, and how could he get the feather wolf back.

"Who?" suddenly someone shouted.

The ashes of the plants and trees that had been burned on the ground danced in the wind under the air current, gently streaking across everyone's faces.
