Chapter 15: The Boys in the Mountain Gate

"Well, it smells so good." Yun Niang held a chicken thigh and gnawed her eyebrows and smiled.

"Brother Lu is amazing." Duan Xiaoniang ate the fragrant chicken and launched a star-eye attack on Lu Zhe with a look of adoration.

"That's it, Ah Zhe, you deserve to be a disciple of the Immortal Family." Lin Wuyi said vaguely with food in his mouth.

In the small thatched hut of the Lu family, Lu Zhe, Lin Wujiao, Duan Ergou, Duan Xiaoniang and Yun Niang, the five of them sat around the kang table, feasting on the two oily grouses.

Looking at the four people who were extremely engaged in eating, Lu Zhe was secretly glad that he had roasted two of them and stuffed them with millet rice.

Because of the stuffed millet rice, Lu Zhe was originally going to eat only one, but he happened to meet Lin Wuyi and Duan Ergou who came to deliver firewood to Lu Zhe, so a small winter feast belonging to the boy and Lori began.

"Zhe, Zhelangjun, we ate this pheasant, what should you do with Yun Niang." Duan Ergou was still a little shy, and after eating two pieces of chicken, he only ate the millet in the chicken's belly.

"It's all brothers, what are you doing so politely, it's the same as no blame, just call me Ah Zhe or Lao Lu, come." As Lu Zhe spoke, he tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Duan Ergou. The latter's face turned red for a moment, and he took the chicken leg with some embarrassment.

Four chicken legs, one for Yun Niang and Duan Xiaoniang, and the remaining two, Lu Zhe gave them to Lin Wuyi and Duan Ergou.

"That's, that's it, they're all brothers, what's polite. Old Duan, you eat quickly. Lin Wuyi grabbed the chicken leg and gnawed it very calmly.

"Lao Lin is right, eat and eat." Lu Zhe and Lin Wuyi have long been familiar with each other, and occasionally Lu Zhe will call him Lao Lin, Lin Wuyi, who was born familiar, immediately liked this title, and the two of them called "Lao Lu" and "Lao Lin", and soon, other teenagers in the village also called each other like this.

"Good, good." After all, it was a teenager, and the three of them laughed for a while, and soon became acquainted, and Duan Ergou was no longer polite, and greeted him with a big gulp.

The two grouses, plus the millet and mushrooms inside, the three and a half boys and two small children ate them all in less than a quarter of an hour. The two little Lori's have already held up and hummed, so that the three teenagers of the sisters have only eaten most of the full.

After eating the chicken, the chicken bones were thrown into the pit where the earthworms were raised, the two little girls were playing on the kang, speaking a language that only they could understand, and the three teenagers were holding a cup of boiling water, standing in the backyard of Lu Zhe's house, taking small sips.

"That's nice." A mouthful of warm wolfberry under the water, Lin Wuyi, who was warm all over, couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed." Lu Zhe also ate heartily, holding a cup and looking at the snow-white clouds in the sky.

The young man's mind, like the clouds on the horizon, is erratic, seeing a stone on the side of the road, he may fall into some sad and sad little emotions, the three teenagers looked at the distant mountains and white clouds, and fell silent for a while.

"That, Lao Lu, are you really an immortal disciple?" Lin Wuyi looked at the clouds in the sky and suddenly asked, and Duan Ergou next to him also turned his head to look at him when he heard this.

"What do you think?" Lu Zhe asked rhetorically.

"What about me, it's not good to say, it's the same as me and Lao Duan before, but how to say it, since you fell into the water, you suddenly seem to have changed as if you were a different person, not only did you understand a lot of things, you got those things, Aya said that it was a fairy utensil, and it was also excellent, you didn't know how to cook before, and the food you make now, A-Niang said it was good. There is also the fire kang, so that my family is no longer afraid of the cold in winter, and the elders all said that it was good. You don't talk the same way you used to, you become, like an uncle in the village, like an adult. Lin Wuyi thought about it and said seriously.

"I did meet a man who claimed to be an immortal when I fell into the water, and he taught me a lot of things, but anyway, I'm still the same Ah Zhe, isn't it?" Lu Zhe then remembered that Duan Ergou and Lin Wuyi had always come to play with him before, but since he led people to pick pine mushrooms and made a wheelbarrow and a fire kang, the two of them would never go to their own house again.

Only then did Lu Zhe understand how amazing his changes seemed to the people in the village. It's enough to make his former friends feel strange.

There were not many families in the small mountain village, and there were only two peers with Lu Zhe, Lin Wuji and Duan Ergou, and the rest of the children were not over ten years old.

"What are you talking about, whether I am a disciple of the Immortal Family or not, we all grew up playing with mud together, and we are all good brothers. Have you forgotten that when we were young, we went up the mountain to pick up rabbits, Lao Lin, you fell, and there was such a long hole in your buttocks? At that time, Lao Duan also said, Lao Lin, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ”

"You still have the face to say, didn't you say that day you saw a rabbit there that day, and we would go with you? If I can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I'll ask for you. Old Duan, don't laugh, you forgot, you still said that you wanted to marry a fairy. When he mentioned the embarrassing incident after the hour, especially the wound in a certain part, Lin Wuyi's face turned red, and he began to explode the black material of the three of them.

"Hahahaha." Hearing Lin Wuyi's words, Lu Zhe and Duan Ergou laughed together, and Lin Wuyi laughed as he spoke.

"Now, Lao Lu, you say, is there a fairy in the end?" After laughing, Duan Ergou asked embarrassedly.

"Why, Lao Duan, you really want to marry a fairy, that fairy will take a fancy to you, a poor boy, tall and thin, like a hemp rod." The teenager drew the strip very quickly, and the thirteen-year-old Duan Ergou was almost 1.6 meters old.

"Ask me what, you don't want to." The fantasy of the opposite sex is always the theme of teenagers, this is no different from a thousand years later, Lu Zhe seems to have returned to his teenage years, when a few friends YY a school flower together.

"Don't worry, I'm an immortal disciple, and after a few years, I promise to trick one of you into coming back with a fairy."

"Cut." Lao Lu and Lao Duan shushed at the same time, looking like I didn't believe it.

"I ate Lao Lu's pine pheasant today, it tastes very good, Lao Duan, why don't we go to the mountain again and see if we can catch the rabbit, after we catch it, let's eat it again." The grouse is not much bigger than the pigeon, and when the teenagers are growing up again, and they haven't eaten meat for a long time, they are a little unsatisfied.

"Let's go." Thinking of the delicious pheasant meat just now, Duan Ergou also jumped to try it.

"Forget it, forget it, don't run into a beast." Seeing that the two teenagers wanted to enter the mountain, Lu Zhe hurriedly stopped him.

"Lao Lu, you too, so unpleasant, can Lao Lin and I still eat your pine pheasant for nothing?" The young man always attaches great importance to the righteousness of his friends, and today Duan Ergou and Lin Wuyi ate Lu Zhe's grouse, and they also wanted to get something for their good brother.

"That's it, that's it, otherwise a few of us have nothing to do, and we're going to be idle." Lin Wuyi was also beside him.

"I still have some wild meat at home, if you want to eat it, you can come here, this mountain, don't go up."

"How can I eat you all the time, it's okay these days anyway, I'll go to the mountains to make a few sets, I'll be the host in a few days, Lao Lu, you come to cook, and we'll eat him again." Duan Ergou often went into the mountains to hunt with his father, and among the three, he was the only one with hunting experience.

"It's the pole, it's the pole." Lin Wuyi also clapped his hands and laughed.

"Wait, brothers, if you really have nothing to do, I have something here, it's very interesting, but unfortunately there has been no material to make it, so we might as well make him."

"What to do? What materials are needed? Lao Lu, you said. Lin Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard that there was something new.

"It's a game called chess, which is easy to learn and very fun." Since Lu Zhe crossed here, he had no other entertainment at night except to tell his sister stories, and he was also a little bored, and he also wanted to make something out for entertainment.

"Chess...... It sounds like fun, what you need. ”

"It's very simple, a little wood, a carving knife, and some ink...... Lu Zhe also became interested and began to talk to the two of them in detail.

"This is very easy, I'll get the planks and chess pieces, just a few wooden blocks, there are a lot of them at home, and I also have ink at home, Aya makes ink fountains, I'll steal some of them, and let Lao Duan come to the lettering, he is also a family heirloom." After listening, Lin Wuyi quickly assigned the task.

"It's no problem to carve things, but I can't read......" Duan Ergou lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll write them out one by one, and you can follow them. May I? Lu Zhe looked at Duan Ergou.

"Lao Lu, you will do that, according to the carving, that is a trivial matter." Duan Ergou raised his head, full of confidence.

Several teenagers discussed it, and at this time, it was time for Lu Zhe to talk about Journey to the West every day, and they all said that they would start to do it when they went home after listening to Journey to the West.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhe, who was giving a lecture to Yun Niang and Duan Xiaoniang, saw the two of them sneakily coming to the door, bringing the things they needed to do chess.

"Lao Lu, you see it's okay, Lao Duan also brought the carving knife at home." Looking at the things brought by the two, Lu Zhe couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child and secretly grilled sausages with his friends. In the same way, some people secretly bring sausages from home, some people get seasonings from home, and some people are responsible for using their exam papers and books as fuel, and secretly roast sausages somewhere behind the back of the adults in the family and share them.

It's obviously a very ordinary sausage, but it's so fragrant, and when he thinks of this, he can't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay, there's enough stuff." Lu Zhe assigned homework to the two little Lori, and then followed the two to his backyard, and the three soldiers began to get busy.

Lu Zhe was responsible for drawing patterns and writing on the ground, Lin Wuyi was responsible for carving lines on the chessboard, Duan Ergou was responsible for carving chess pieces, and soon, a pair of chess pieces was made. Lu Zhe also asked Lin Wuji to carve a grid on the back of the chessboard to play backgammon.

After the chess was done, the two of them sneakily returned their adults' tools, and under the guidance of Lu Zhe, they began to play.

Because there was no red dye, Lu Zhe only dyed one of the pawns black, stipulating that white first and then black, and the cannon was also changed to a crossbow. After teaching the two of them how to play, the three of them began to get down.

At the beginning, Duan Ergou and Lin Wuyi were still a little strange, one of them played a game with Lu Zhe and was defeated and lost, and they didn't play with him, the two caught and fought each other, under the guidance of Lu Zhe, after slowly getting familiar with the rules, soon, both of them were addicted to chess. Even Lu Zhe forgot to listen to the Journey to the West that day.

"It's so much fun, come back tomorrow." It was almost dark, and under Lu Zhe's reminder, the two who were addicted to chess remembered that it was time to go home, reluctantly threw down the chess pieces in their hands, and ran away like a gust of wind.

"Huh." Lu Zhe put away the chessboard and chess pieces, looked at him for a long time with itchy hands for a long time, and prepared to play a game with himself to have a good time.
