Chapter 61 The Suburbs - Accompanied by the Warmth of Spring

"Lady, pick less, you can't eat so much."

"It naturally doesn't take much to make a few dishes, but these can also be made into some snacks, and they are excellent medicinal materials, which have always only been produced around here, and since I happened to encounter them, I want to pick more back."

"Okay, then I'll go find some firewood nearby, and the lady will go into the house after picking it."

"Hmm."

It didn't take long for Xiao Zhen to pick a basket full of fresh fruits and wild vegetables, and as soon as she put the basket on the ground, the deer rushed over, and three pairs of smart eyes looked at Xiao Zhen in unison.

Xiao Zhen took out some fruits from the basket and put them in front of the deer, and they happily gathered around, and soon ate all the fresh fruits, Xiao Zhen looked at the cute appearance of the little ones, and smiled softly.

"Lady, help me pick it up."

Xiao Zhen turned around, only to see Xiao Xiao holding a big bundle of firewood, and a wine jug was placed on it, which was shaking constantly, as if it would fall down at any time.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Xiaoyu finished speaking, Xiaoyu tripped on the last step, and the wine jug on the top also slid out, and it was about to fall to the ground.

At the moment when the wine jug was about to turn into pieces, the streamer in Xiao Zhen's hand waved slightly, wrapped the wine jug tightly, and pulled it back and fell into her hand.

Although Xiaoyu was tripped and stumbled, he fortunately stood firmly, but he couldn't hold the firewood in his hand and fell to the ground crackling.

"Husband, why are you so careless."

Xiao Zhen complained while helping Xiao Yu pick up the fallen firewood.

"It's not this firewood that is so out of my way that I can't see the way."

After packing up the firewood, Xiaoyu patted the ashes on his body, and only relieved himself after making sure that he was not cut by the firewood. This is his favorite, the clothes that Xiaozhen made for him, he has always cherished them.

"Lady, give me the flask."

"You went out for so long just to find this pot of wine?!"

Xiao Zhen's beautiful eyes opened wide and stared at Xiao Yu directly.

"This is water, I just went to the pool to get it, the lady didn't say to make jade tofu, I remember you said, the herbs must be soaked in mountain spring water before they are delicious."

"I didn't listen to anything else, but I remembered it, and you just remembered to eat quickly, right?"

"This ...... The people live on food. ”

Xiaoyu smiled lightly, sorted out the firewood in his hand, and turned to the stove to make a fire.

Xiao Zhen picked out the accessories used to make jade tofu from the basket, cleaned them, and put them into the mountain spring water that Xiao Yu had just taken.

Originally, the herbs only needed to be cleaned before they could be used, but Xiao Ji would often soak them for half an hour and then chop them, so that the herbs would have some sweetness of spring water and taste more delicious.

The husband and wife were busy preparing dinner when someone knocked on the door, it was a hunter from Changshou Village, it was already dark at this time, and it was a little dangerous to go back at night, so he came here to spend the night. Orion carried a little girl of six or seven years old on his back, and at this time, she was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Zhen let the father and daughter into the door, poured a cup of hot tea for Orion, and soon the little girl woke up, and the dinner prepared by the husband and wife was already out of the pot.

"Daddy, they're older brothers and sisters in the afternoon."

"No wonder I always felt that the two young heroes were a little familiar, and they turned out to be benefactors."

Orion also recognized the husband and wife, and got up to salute them.

"You're welcome, it's the other little knights who subdued the bully, we didn't do anything, we just had a fight with them."

"Gongzi is too modest, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that those bullies will continue to do evil, and I don't know when this longevity village will have such peace."

A few people were talking to themselves, but the little girl was looking at the food on the table back and forth, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.

"Daddy, I'm hungry."

"Then eat it quickly, this jade tofu should be delicious while it is hot."

Xiao Zhen took a piece of hot jade tofu and put it on the little girl's plate, but the little girl was unceremonious, and directly got started, held the piece of jade tofu in front of her, and took a big bite.

"It's delicious, thank you, sister."

Jade tofu has a unique flavor, and with that fragrant sweet soup, it can also be regarded as a delicacy in the world.

Soon, a table of dishes was eaten clean by several people, sitting at the table and chatting for a while, the little girl slowly fell asleep, Orion was also a little sleepy, and the father and daughter went to the side to rest.

Gently putting away the dishes and chopsticks, the husband and wife tiptoed to the door and sat side by side on the small porch.

"Husband, do you feel that this night breeze is not so cold."

"It's true, if it was this hour a few days ago, the cool breeze seemed to be piercing into the bones, but today I feel a little comfortable."

"But maybe it's because it's too warm in the house, so I still feel a little stuffy."

"Then be careful not to catch a cold, the climate in this forest is changeable, and the day is like the four seasons."

It was quiet all around now, except for the soft sound of the leaves and the intermittent chirping of insects, and the sound of burning wood in the stove.

The moonlight could not penetrate the lush canopy, but the base of the hut was built a little above the ground, and the roof was just level with the trees in front of the porch, so that the moonlight could reach the porch where the couple were sitting.

"How can it be so valuable, there are also thousands of weather within the Three Realms, as a person who walks the rivers and lakes, he often shuttles back and forth within the Three Realms, what is such a little change? Even when you arrive in Beiju Luzhou, it is not so unusual. ”

If you are in the city, it is lively at this time, but in this suburban mountain forest, it is already silent, and in the boundless darkness, the hidden beasts are opening their eyes wide, looking for their prey.

The fawns were huddled together, lying on the straw pile, and they were already asleep, but the night breeze outside the house was blowing, and the two of them were more and more energetic.

"I didn't close my eyes all night yesterday, is the lady sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy, this wind is blowing, but I'm more awake."

Xiaoyu looked through the notes again, except for Changshou Village and Fangcun Mountain, the rest of the places were in Dongsheng Shenzhou and Beiju Luzhou.

"Now that the stories in the handbook have been filled, when we arrive at Fangcun Mountain tomorrow, the stories in the west will be over, and it is time to go east."

"Then you have to fly over, if you go back the same way, it will take several days."

"That's nature, first return to Chang'an, then from the south of the city to the south of the Yangtze River, and then all the way to the east, I plan to do so, what does the lady think?"

"Just follow the route that my husband said, and go home by the way."

"Okay."

After sitting for a long time, the night was getting deeper, the moon was in the sky, and the breeze was blowing, as if it was just a little colder, but Xiaozhen leaned on Xiaoyu's shoulder and didn't feel the cold.
