Chapter 133: Winemaking
The flesh of the wild boar was very tight, and Nanshan's homemade stone knife was obviously not so sharp, so she looked hideous and terrifying as she worked hard to cut the wild boar, like an executioner accustomed to killing.
Huang Xia frowned at the blood stains all over the ground and said, "Miss Anan, aren't you afraid that the smell of blood will attract other beasts?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Nanshan wiped her face with the back of her hand, the red blood was pulled from the corner of her mouth to the back of her ear, she chuckled and said: "Let's fight one by one, let's hit two with a pair, but I came over to set a trap in the second half of the night, otherwise...... How do you think I caught this guy with my bare hands? ”
"Still standing and watching? Come and help! Nanshan finally divided the thick wild boar, and muttered angrily: "I didn't eat breakfast, I starved to death......"
Huang Xia suddenly showed a look of disgust, and after the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, he slowly squatted down, took several large pieces of meat steak wrapped in her coat from Nanshan's hand, and slowly walked towards the direction of the cave.
The sunlight outside the cave was just right, and Nanshan was dressed in a deserted summer robe, and she was seriously fiddling with the firewood in the fire, although the robe had always exuded an unbearable fishy smell, which was better than her own coat soaked with wild boar blood.
The coconut shell that was originally used to cook fish soup finally couldn't stand the scorching fire, and cracked a hole that looked a little miserable, so Nanshan's long-awaited white soup stew could only retreat to charcoal barbecue, and the cave was not well ventilated, Nanshan fanned the banana leaves in his hand vigorously, still choking on the soot and couldn't open his eyes, coughing nonstop.
"Okay, I'll hang the rest of the meat on the top of the tree, and I don't know if there are any mountain leopards on this island......" Araxia came in from outside the cave, and there were a few dead leaves mixed in his hair, which made him look even more embarrassed.
"From what I've observed, there are no big beasts like mountain leopards on this island." Nanshan raised her face and looked over, most of her face was now smoked to black and gray, "Maybe there will be a bobcat or something, but I've marinated that meat a few times, it's very salty, and the bobcat shouldn't like it." ”
Huang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, looked Nanshan's big flower face up and down seriously, and asked with a forced smile: "You save so much meat, it seems that you plan to live for a long time?" ”
"Or else? Have you figured out how to get out of here? Nanshan threw away an angry look, "Out of this island, you are the supreme monarch of the Eastern Summer, and I am the high priest of the Blue Moon, but as long as we can't leave for a day, we are grasshoppers on a rope......"
Grasshopper? Araxia couldn't hold back after all, and laughed, as if it was the first time he had heard someone describe himself like this, he looked around at the cave where the two of them lived, and suddenly had a somewhat familiar feeling.
This familiarity was fleeting, but it was very strange that his heart shrank slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head, and happened to meet Nanshan's gaze, and the cold aura in the cave seemed to stagnate for a moment.
After a while, it was Huang Xia who opened his mouth first and said, "There is a question, I have always wanted to ask Miss Anan for verification, we ...... Have you seen it somewhere before? ”
"Nope." Nanshan replied very firmly.
"What did you say before...... What did I mean by the fact that I appeared in your dreams? ”
Although his words evoked imagination, Nanshan looked at his grim face without a trace of obscenity and banter, and he couldn't even blush basically.
She bit her lower lip, remembering in her mind the pair of men and women who seemed to be not in the same space as her when she opened the Origin Forbidden Technique, and asked rhetorically, "Do you believe in the theory of reincarnation?" ”
"I don't believe it." Araxia shook his head, this time it was his turn to give a firm answer.
Nanshan was stunned, obviously not expecting Huang Xia to respond like this.
Not to mention that they are all people who cultivate immortals, even ordinary people, they will more or less have some of their own conjectures about the past life and this life, and even many people live cautiously in their lives, even if they bear the harsh government and heavy taxes, they dare not speak out, it is precisely because they are in awe, thinking that the suffering of this life is the sin of the previous life, and if they want to live a worry-free life and a happy life in the next life, they must work hard and accumulate virtue and happiness.
But the man in front of him, who had already entered the realm of selflessness and was only one step away from ascending to the immortal road, told her with a calm face that he did not believe in reincarnation.
"Okay, then the two of us really don't talk for more than half a sentence." Nanshan shook his head and began to sniff greedily at the smell of barbecue in the air.
However, before she could touch the fragrant barbecue, a deep male voice faintly chuckled in her ear: "I don't have a chance to see you in this life?" Joke, you and I are gods after all, where did we come from reincarnation? ”
Nanshan looked at Huang Xia suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise, and Huang Xia, who was sitting opposite, was also stabbed by her sudden sharp eyes, and asked a little embarrassedly, "What's wrong?" ”
With her fingertips trembling slightly, Nanshan's heart was beating wildly, and the low male voice just now kept echoing in her head, and she also recognized the owner of that voice for the first time......
It's just that the voice just now spoke in a contemptuous tone, revealing a bit of gloom in the lowness; Although the person in front of him sometimes shows a lonely and arrogant appearance that no one can enter, Nanshan has been with him for so many days, but he has not felt the slightest bit of being the king of the Eastern Xia from him.
"No, it's nothing...... Nanshan lowered her head in disdain, but Leng Buding was burned by the hot branch in her hand, and she was so shocked that she even threw out the barbecue.
"Are you alright?" Huang Xia stepped over the fire and grabbed Nanshan's hand, "Are you in a daze?" ”
"Ahem, I remembered something, no...... Don't worry. ”
Pretending not to see Nanshan's embarrassment, Huang Xia smiled: "I'm afraid that you have read too much of the love and love between the immortals, and you will believe those past and present lives." ”
"Then have you ever wondered where people who become immortals and gods go when they die? What will it become? ”
Huang Xia was stunned for a moment, his hand holding Nanshan loosened slightly, and he muttered for a moment: "It seems that there is no relevant record in the classics...... It is said that you can live forever if you forget your heart, and you think it should be the same life as the sky, right? ”
"Live with the sky, what if the sky declines? Also, what kind of books are you reading? Is there a special talk about how to break through from forgetfulness to selflessness? Nanshan blinked with interest and withdrew his hand.
Asking whether he was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Araxia frowned, and carefully searched his mind for the memory of "reading classics", but he couldn't say why he remembered it for a long time, which made him a little puzzled for a while.
It's not that he deliberately hides the method he doesn't want to tell Nanshan about his cultivation, but he can't remember what the "classics" he just mentioned are. In fact, he even questioned it at first, thinking that it was really unreasonable for Nanshan's extremely lazy temperament to cultivate to the point of forgetting his mind, how many hard-working and diligent immortal cultivators would he envy?
Nanshan picked up the barbecue on the ground at this time, carefully peeled off the dusty parts, saw that Huang Xia was stunned, and pushed him with his elbow and said: "It's okay, don't be entangled, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it, after all, you still have to unload me from this island, in case Qingzhiyue has two selfless realms, your pressure is also quite high, right?" ”
"Miss Anan, you misunderstood......" Although he quickly saw a hint of cunning in Nanshan's face, Araxia still wanted to explain.
But what can he explain? Saying that he was just angry at the beginning?
At that time, the old emperor lost on the battlefield, and the Eastern Xia court was in chaos, he was taking care of the war in the north, and on the other hand, he had to return to the imperial capital to quell the rebellion, and he was very busy, and it was Nanshan, the high priest of the stars, who broke the myth of the old emperor's undefeated conquest.
Perhaps, you can take advantage of the time when the two of them are on a desert island to lobby her a little? At least on the surface, it seems that the two countries are about to make peace, as long as the Qingyue King and his jade seal are both stamped on the peace talks, it is not impossible for the two countries to conclude a century-old friendship.
I heard that the Temple of the Asking Stars only reads the Mandate of Heaven, and the high priests of the past dynasties of the Asking Stars are far away from the court and never get involved in the affairs of the monarch's kingdom......
Araxia has always wondered why this generation of High Priests of the Asking Star cares so much about the Qingyue King, and even when the Qingyue King did not ascend to the Great Treasure, he had firmly stood in his camp, and finally overwhelmed the kings and seized the supreme position.
Some people say that the Ask Star Priest is not without desire, but he has not been able to find a virtuous monarch worthy of their allegiance, and he thinks that he has a powerful cultivation that is not inferior to the Qingyue King, and the bearing of a king is even more than that...... Huang Xia looked at Nanshan's side face, and seemed to suddenly have a different kind of feeling, and his eyes gradually became blurred.
It was only soon that he heard Nanshan muttering dissatisfiedly: "Alas, there is meat and no wine, this is really a tyrannical thing." ”
"Miss Anan wants to drink?"
Nanshan didn't answer, chewing the piece of meat in his mouth with a bitter face, feeling that the body of Huang Xia on the side was a little tight, and subconsciously moved to the corner of the cave.
Araxia sighed softly, stood up and walked out of the cave, and about a quarter of an hour later, he came in with a large plantain leaf, and on the wide leaf were piled up a dozen wild fruits of different sizes and varieties.
"What did you do when you came back with the fruit? Do you have to eat fruit if you have meat to eat? ”
Although Nanshan complained about the meat and no wine, but the wild boar meat was roasted crispy on the fire, and she would not retreat to eat the sweet and sour wild fruit.
When the tsunami had just passed, she couldn't catch fish, and the wild beasts in the mountains ran away, and she and Desert Summer used wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
"It's not for you to eat, it's for you to ask which flavor you like." Huang Xia put the banana leaves in front of Nanshan and said, "I know some ways to make wine, these fruits are relatively sweet, and they should be able to make good fruit wine." ”
