Chapter 13 Rising to the Top
followed a man and a bear to the cave where the Ma brothers and sisters lived.
The cave is so large that if it were built, it would have been enough to hold six or seven rooms. There are two bamboo sheds in front of the cave, one is for firewood and the other is a simple kitchen.
The lighting and air permeability of the cave are very good, and there is a stone bed covered with brocade quilts on the left and right, which should be two brothers and sisters. In the middle are large vat stores of food, clothing, and daily necessities.
In the corner was the den of the big stupid bear, and a fat rabbit was lying there looking at the two and the bear with ignorance, neither curious nor afraid of the new stranger.
"My brother hasn't come back yet...... By the way, it's almost time for dinner, why don't you go cook, my brother is also a foodie, you can buy his stomach so that he doesn't hate you. β
The more Ma Xue'e talked about it, the more she felt that she was smart and came up with this idea. There is something delicious and can make my brother accept Luo Changning, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing Ma Xue'e radiant and proud, Luo Changning was helpless and went to cook obediently.
It was almost an hour before dark, and they had just eaten grilled fish.
The ingredients are limited, Luo Changning can only cook a few dishes simply, and his cooking skills were only practiced when he was a child to please his mother, although Su Qinqin did not react unusually when she ate the dishes he cooked.
Braised bird eggs, fried fish pieces, spicy boiled fish, stewed bacon with dried beans, steamed eggs, cured rice, lotus millet porridge.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ma Xue'e decided to firmly hold Luo Changning's thick legs. The big stupid bear on the side nodded, and I had to hug my little legs tightly.
"Who are you?" The voice was cold, and a handsome young man wearing a blue caftan brown appeared quietly at the door with a gloomy face.
The temperature in the cave plummeted, and a murderous aura went straight to Luo Changning's door.
Luo Changning turned his head unhurriedly to dodge, and the murderous aura hit the stone wall, and suddenly split a crack two fingers wide, visible feet deep, and stone fragments were scattered everywhere.
Seeing this, Luo Changning's mind flickered: Is this the innate true qi, it is really not trivial, if it weren't for the fact that I had cultivated the child's skill and body dexterity, and the other party was merciful and did not go all out, I was afraid that I would have already died now.
Ma Qingyun is a congenital Xiaocheng, I don't know how powerful the Tongtian Realm is, it seems that he still underestimates the martial arts of this world, after all, he still has too little knowledge, if he doesn't go to the rivers and lakes to experience it, I'm afraid that he will always be a frog at the bottom of the well, and there is no hope of revenge.
"Brother, he's my friend, why did you kill him as soon as he came?" Ma Xue'e said coquettishly.
Ma Qingyun snorted coldly: "People's hearts are not ancient, and the world is unpredictable. Little sister, don't be gullible to others, if you meet someone with bad intentions, my brother can't save you. β
Luo Changning smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Xue'e's martial arts are above me, and there is a big stupid bear beside me, how can I hurt her." What's more, I never thought of hurting her, after all, her surname is Ma, my surname is Luo, and both have a horse character and can be regarded as a family. β
I saw a flash of afterimage, but in an instant, Ma Qingyun came to him, grabbed his front placket, and his eyes were as cold as a sword: "Let me ask you again, who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?" β
Luo Changning frowned, not understanding why he was so hostile to himself.
"My name is Luo Changning, and I am the young master of the Su Family Medical Center in Qingyang County, and I came here today to try my luck and see if I can find some good things. As for the scheme, what can I, a person who has not even opened all the meridians, plot. β
"Brother, you are so ungraceful, Brother Luo is very good to Xue'e, and he gave me meat buns! Besides, if Brother Luo was a bad guy, the big stupid bear would have slapped him away a long time ago. β
Ma Xue'e pouted, she felt that her brother was really unreasonable and angry, if he angered Luo Changning, he would be angry and leave without anyone to cook for him.
"Brother Ma, you believe me, I am really good friends with you."
The two looked at each other, one open and the other deep. After a long time, Ma Qingyun said: "I made you a friend." Because you have the same hatred in your eyes as I do! β
Luo Changning was taken aback, he thought that his emotions were well concealed, but he was said by this young man. I thought to myself: It seems that I have to learn to control my hatred and not show it.
"Thank you, Brother Ma, for reminding me." Luo Changning smiled and hugged his fists.
Many times, people's friendship comes so quickly, especially between men and men, people with the same breath are more likely to attract and cherish each other.
Ma Xue'e slipped her apricot eyes, and her gaze wandered between the two: "Brother, Luo Changning, what are you talking about, why can't Xue'er understand?" β
Ma Qingyun said with a blank face: "With my little sister's IQ, it is naturally more difficult to understand, but if we continue to stand here and chat, I am afraid that Brother Luo will have to work hard to cook again." β
Burst! Luo Changning chuckled, this Ma Qingyun is really black-bellied.
Xue'e was about to ask why, when she saw the fat paws of the big stupid bear quietly reaching out to the porcelain plate on the table. More than half of the pieces of fried fish on the plate were gone, and only a pitiful few remained.
The brown bear was eating happily, and he found that everyone was looking at him, especially Ma Xue'e's eyes.
swallowed saliva, brought the porcelain plate to his mouth with lightning speed, and ate all the fried fish pieces with a whin.
"Stinky Fat Bear! You're dead, half a month, no, don't think about eating cooked food for a month! β
Whewβ
The brown bear had tears in his eyes, and he was pitiful. Xue'e stared at the apricot eyes, hard-hearted.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, the dishes are cold." Ma Qingyun came forward to mediate the conflict between the two children.
A few people sat down, picked up chopsticks and started.
During this period, Ma Xue'e kept exclaiming: "Oh, it's so delicious, this one is delicious, that one is even more delicious......"
The speed at which Ma Qingyun is paralyzed is also getting faster and faster. They have lived in the mountains since they were children, and there are no elders to take care of them and slaves to serve.
Except for Ma Qingyun going down the mountain every month to purchase some delicious meals that he can bring back, he copes with them casually on weekdays. There is no one to guide me, and I have no talent for cooking, so I can imagine the taste of the things I make, so I can eat them.
After the meal, Luo Changning washed the dishes and returned to the cave.
"I don't know why you're hiding in the mountains, but it's not a way to stay in the long run. Sister Xue'e is still young now, and she will marry someone in the future, will she spend her good years here with you all her life? Girls of the same age as her outside, which one is not wearing red and green to visit the temple fair and put lanterns. β
"If you hide here, you won't be able to take revenge for the rest of your life. It's better to follow me down the mountain, no one will go in and out of my house on weekdays, and you don't have to worry about being discovered. Even if Xue'e wants to go shopping, she can ask my aunt to help her change her appearance. My aunt is so good at disguise that she won't let you be recognized by the enemy. β
Ma Qingyun was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay." β
He can wronged himself, but he can't delay his little sister, not to mention that only by killing that person can he wash away their sins.
Ma Xue'e was half-lying on the big stupid bear, and when she heard this, she turned her head to look at the two of them and said in surprise: "Really? Brother, can we go down the mountain and live in Luo Changning's house? Is his family big, can he live in a big stupid bear? β
The big stupid bear also looked at the two, as if praying: Where the little girl goes, I will follow. As long as there is something delicious......
Ma Qingyun looked at his sister's expectant eyes, and he was even more ashamed, no matter how cold his heart was against Ma Xue'e.
Seeing Luo Changning nodding at him, he smiled and said, "Well, the big stupid bear and the gray gray rabbit are all going with us." β
"Yay, that's great! Luo Changning, my brother has a lot of money, he is responsible for buying ingredients, can you make delicious food for us? Ma Xue'e jumped up excitedly and rushed to Luo Changning.
"Okay." With that kind of smile, he couldn't refuse.
