Chapter 22: False Alarm in the Woods
Zhang Cheng regretted that he should not have been drunk and continued to walk, so that he didn't know where he had gone now.
The moon in the sky hung high, looking at the bright moon in the sky, I don't know if the parents on the other side of time and space are okay, and whether the girlfriend who was about to marry him can still remember him, in fact, what I care about the most is the man who held his girlfriend's hand in the dream that night, this is the point!
"Alas", sighed and continued on his way.
The moon on the fifteenth was round and large, and the light from the white moonlight was enough to expel the whole night, so Zhang Cheng did not have to worry about being invisible in the dark night.
After walking for a long time, I don't know where this road can lead, the forest is extremely quiet, Zhang Cheng does not dare to rest in the forest alone, although the moonlight is very clear, but if there is something hanging and white-haired tiger or something, and then there is something blocking the road and robbing something, then it is not very unjust.
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng accelerated his pace more and more, just hoping to get out of this forest and find a place where there were people and light.
The hard work paid off, and after walking for nearly three hours, he found that a faint fire appeared not far away, and Zhang Cheng ran up overjoyed.
When he arrived, he found that it was a dilapidated land temple, and there was a pile of firewood that had just been extinguished in front of the door, and Zhang Cheng was a little nervous.
Because the fire was extinguished as soon as he came, it shows that the person who just came here is a cautious person, and often these people are the people in the rivers and lakes seen in the TV series.
So, Zhang Cheng looked east and west and arched his hand: "In Xia Zhangcheng, coming from Fengzhou City, passing by here, I want to find a place to rest, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”
Except for the sound of insects chirping around, there was still no response.
"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" Zhang Zhang thought secretly.
Seeing that there was no response, Zhang Cheng could only pick up the remaining firewood in front of the temple gate and carry it into the temple, Zhang Cheng didn't want to spend this night outside the temple.
Just when Zhang Cheng picked up the firewood and just stepped into the temple gate half a step,
"Huh"
Zhang Cheng felt a cold chill seeping into his skin on his neck, and in the blink of an eye, my god, a sharp sword flashed in the moonlight, and it was horizontally in front of him. My heart trembled, and thousands of cold pores were erected instantly, only to hear the sound of "clang", and the firewood in my hand had fallen to the ground.
Zhang Cheng immediately raised his hands, so frightened that he almost lost his soul!
"This ...... Benevolence... Brother, you... If... It's robbery, in my arms... There are also... A thousand taels of silver tickets, but... Proper motion... Take it.... In order to save his life, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said.
"Brother, I'll just say, this guy who looks like a scholar, where is there such a big danger!" Zhang Cheng had just finished speaking, and a voice as crisp as a silver bell sounded behind him.
When Zhang Cheng heard the voice of the woman behind him, he felt a lot more relieved, but he still didn't dare to look back, so he tried to ask: "Two heroes, can you let Zai Xia turn around first?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Cheng felt that the cold chill on his neck had disappeared, and he turned around with the coolness brought by the sword between his fingers, only to see a person in front of him who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, smiling at him, with a naughty look on his face, his eyes were smart, extremely delicate, and his complexion was beautiful, and he couldn't be forced to look at him!
Behind the woman stood a handsome and heroic boy of the same age, wearing a blue brocade robe, holding a white folding fan, and wearing a golden belt.
After Zhang Cheng finished looking, he arched his hand and said: "In Xia Zhangcheng, from Fengzhou City, passing by the temple here, I saw that there was a fire inside, so I wanted to come and spend the night, I don't know if the two of you can make it convenient."
"Brother Zhang, I was very sorry just now, when I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, I mistook it for a bad person, so we made this decision, I hope you will forgive me." The brocade-robed man replied. After a pause, he said, "We are also passing by here, if Brother Zhang doesn't mind, of course we can."
"Thank you so much, you haven't asked for your names, I don't know what to call them?" Zhang Cheng asked.
After hesitating for a while, the man said, "My surname is Huang, and this is the sister...
"You can call me Kiki." Before the brocade-robed man could speak, the woman behind him spoke first.
Zhang Cheng's soothing chest teased: "It turns out that you are brothers and sisters, ah, I was scared to death just now, I said Brother Huang, Miss Qiqi, you won't kill me this month when the dark wind is high, I was scared half to death by you, thinking that I, a weak scholar, have no power to restrain the chicken.....
"Stop."
Qiqi interrupted Zhang Cheng's words, and said with a disdainful face: "Look at your little bit of talent, this scares you half to death, it's really useless!" Hum!
Zhang Cheng was speechless by this sudden remark and was stunned.
Let's ask, in the middle of the night in a dilapidated temple, a sharp sword suddenly crossed your neck, normal people are so frightened that their faces are bloodless, and the timid ones pee their pants on the spot, and this Miss Qiqi said casually with a very disdainful tone that made Zhang Cheng feel extremely embarrassed.
Huang Gongzi saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and then said: "Brother Zhang is rushing in the middle of the night, he must have not eaten, if you don't dislike it, there are two pheasants that I hunted before, I can give you one." “
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng took the dehaired and washed pheasant in Huang Gongzi's hand, and said overjoyed: "Thank you Huang Gongzi so much."
After seeing that Zhang Cheng unceremoniously took his brother's pheasant, Qiqi muttered in a low voice, "Shameless! “
Zhang Cheng, who was hurrying in the middle of the night, was already hungry and frightened, and his chest was already hungry against his back, although when he took the pheasant, he heard the Qiqi muttering to himself, but Zhang Cheng was very happy to worry.
Zhang Cheng decided to treat himself to comfort the stimulation and fright he received tonight.
Looking at the pheasant in his hand, he remembered that in the past novels and TV series, the protagonists all made lotus leaf chickens or something, and the food was very fragrant, so Zhang Cheng decided to follow suit.
Because of the season, there must be no lotus leaves. Therefore, Zhang Cheng picked a lot of fresh, larger leaves, carefully wrapped them, picked up the water and mud in the pheasant bucket that Huang Gongzi had washed before, and after reconciling, slowly wiped it on the outer layer full of fresh leaves, and wiped it tightly.
Zhang Cheng's series of actions made the Huang brothers and sisters really stunned, and Qiqi asked his brother: "Brother, what do you see that stupid scholar doing, are you really scared by me?" “
Huang Gongzi also replied with a puzzled face: "I don't know, but I think that although this Zhang Gongzi was frightened before, the tone of voice that listened to it later should be fine, wait for me to ask him." “
"Zhang Gongzi, I don't know who you are?" Huang Gongzi asked loudly.
After hearing Huang Gongzi's question, Zhang Cheng knew the meaning of Huang Gongzi's question, so he picked up his hand full of mud and walked in the direction of his brother and sister.
When he arrived in front of his brother and sister, Zhang Cheng did not speak, first opened the fire, dug a small pit with branches, carefully put the muddy chickens in it, refilled the soil, and after regathering the scattered fire, he clapped his hands and said, "It's done." ”
"Hey, nerd, what are you doing here?" Qiqi looked at Zhang Cheng's series of actions, her curiosity was too strong, and she couldn't help asking.
Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, washed his hands in the bucket, and then sat by the fire, pointed to the chicken roasted on the fire and said, "Just like you, roast pheasants!" ”
Kiki immediately asked, "Nonsense, where are you roasting pheasants?" Then he pointed to the pheasant that was tumbling on the fire and said, "This is called a roasted pheasant!" Nerd, are you scared silly by me!
"Ahem. . . Hmm..."
Huang Gongzi coughed and said: "How can Qiqi speak, I want to call "Zhang Gongzi", well, that, Zhang Gongzi is sorry, the little sister is rude, and I hope that Brother Zhang Haihan!" “
"Hmph, that's what it is, don't let people say it yet!" Kiki whispered.
Zhang Cheng still smiled and said: "It's okay, Brother Huang, Sister Ling is innocent, besides, what she said is right, am I originally a scholar, it doesn't matter if I am called a nerd, it's just a title, why care!" After a pause, he said, "What I just made is called "Flower Chicken", speaking of which, I will tell you a story first, and you will understand after listening to it. “
I heard that there is a story, the brothers and sisters are all sitting upright, especially this girl, a natural and curious baby's appearance, so cute!
Zhang Cheng said: "According to legend, a long time ago, there was a man named Hanako, who begged for food along the way and went to a poor village. One day, he came across a chicken and wanted to slaughter it for cooking, but he had no cooking utensils or spices. He came to the foot of the mountain, after killing the chicken, remove the internal organs, coat the yellow mud with hair, firewood and grass, put the coated chicken in the fire and roast, wait for the mud to dry the chicken and cook, peel off the mud shell, the chicken feathers are also taken off with the mud shell, and the exposed chicken is found to be bright in color and jujube, fragrant and fragrant, and taste a bite of the crispy meat is tender, it is simply delicious.
The brother and sister listened to Zhang Cheng's eyebrows dancing and telling the story, and when they heard how delicious the flower chicken was, the saliva at the corners of their mouths flowed out, Zhang Cheng watched the brothers and sisters being fooled by themselves, and the more they talked, the more hungry they became.
So Huh, Zhang Cheng decided to take out the flower chicken, the brother and sister said "yes" in unison, the three of them took out the mud together, gently knocked off the mud with a branch, and after picking off the leaves, the fragrance came to the nose......
