The rooms in this inn are almost entirely made of pine wood, which exudes a dry and natural fragrance. Although the furnishings are simple, they are a little warm. Even the tea on the table was lukewarm.
Du Ruo sat down and poured a cup of tea for Qingyun, and after handing it to him, he poured another one for himself. She picked it up and took a careful sip. The tea in this small inn in the mountains naturally can't be compared with the one in the Luoyun Palace, but it is also refreshing.
"Where did Xiao Hei go?" Du Ruo raised his head and asked him.
"I sent him to the mountains to investigate. Qingyun sat on the wooden bench in front of her, looking at her quietly.
"Hmm. Du Ruo was a little shy by his staring, holding the teacup in both hands, and looking at the room with a pair of dark eyes.
Now everyone else treats them as a young couple, although she feels a little shy, but she accepts it by default. But this does not mean that the two of them are really husband and wife.
Although the two of them had lived in the same room before, Du Ruo was still a little uncomfortable, not to mention that she wanted to take a bath. After all, I ran all the way.
Du Ruo thought of the fat tiger, but he was extremely quiet this way.
She pinched a trick and called softly, "Fat Tiger, we're here." ”
There was not the slightest movement in the Qiankun bag.
She called again. "Fat Tiger?"
"He went out. Qingyun took a sip of tea.
"When did you go out? How do I not know?"
"That's when we met the hunter. ”
Du Ruo nodded, maybe the fat tiger also felt a little strange when he heard about the stone bridge. This Luofu Mountain Fat Tiger has lived for thousands of years, and she has long been the demon king in this mountain, so she is not worried.
Du Ruo felt a little embarrassed again, and she secretly glanced at Qingyun. The lights in the room were dim, and his face was a little hazy.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Luckily, the door rang at this time, otherwise she didn't know how long the awkward silence would last.
The person who came was the second child of this inn.
When Qingyun went upstairs with her, he had instructed the shopkeeper to send a few light dishes to Xiaolou.
A plate of wild vegetables mixed with tofu, a plate of braised bamboo shoots in oil, two bowls of porridge, and a plate of pickles. Wild vegetables and bamboo shoots are the specialties of Luofu Mountain.
The shopkeeper put down the dish and said hello. "Guest officer, please use it slowly. ”
Qingyun nodded, and then ordered: "Little Er, in half an hour, you will send some more bath water." Then he threw him a small piece of broken silver, which was considered a tip.
The shopkeeper got a tip, thanked him happily, and left the room to Zhang Luo.
The bath water was naturally for Du Ruo.
"Eat. Qingyun greeted her.
"The wild vegetables and bamboo shoots in this mountain are the most distinctive, you must not have eaten them when you first came to Luofu Mountain, try them. Du Ruo took a piece of braised bamboo shoots in oil and put it in Qingyun's bowl.
The texture of this bamboo shoot is fresh and tender, the taste is crisp, and there is no bitter taste of the bamboo shoots, Qingyun nodded slightly, "It's delicious." ”
Du Ruo's Bigu Dan brought from the Luofu Sect had already been served, so she didn't need to eat like Qingyun, and after running around all day, she was naturally a little hungry.
Qingyun didn't eat much, he turned his head to look at Du Ruo from time to time, and saw that she was eating seriously, as if he was also very satisfied.
Xu hadn't eaten Luofu Mountain's food for a long time, and Du Ruo had eaten a lot of this meal, and the dishes had bottomed out.
"Full?" Qingyun saw that she no longer moved her chopsticks, and also put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"Hmm. Du Ruo nodded.
Qingyun changed a peach again and put it in front of Du Ruo, "Eat a peach." "This peach is the peach I took from Guangchengzi last time.
"I can't eat anymore. Du Ruo was reluctant to refuse Qingyun, but she really couldn't eat it.
"Then leave it alone. ”
Qingyun got up and walked to the couch and found a suitable place to sit up. "After a while, the shopkeeper will bring the bath water, and you can take a shower behind the screen. ”
After speaking, Qingyun closed his eyes and said no more.
Du Ruo wanted to excuse himself, but he felt that he seemed to be too outside. I simply stopped dwelling and replied softly, "Okay." ”
In fact, she was moved in her heart. Although Qingyun is not good at expressing herself and always looks cold, she is careful and thoughtful to her. With him, she doesn't have to worry about anything, Qingyun seems to be able to do everything for her.
Xu was because of the tip, and the second child in the store was very punctual, and just half an hour, he sent the bath water. Before leaving, he also took away the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
When Du Ruo came out wiping his wet hair, Xiao Hei and Fat Tiger had already returned.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting quietly beside Qingyun, and their expressions were a little strange.
"Where did you two go?" Du Ruo sat down, leaning sideways and wiping his wet hair.
Qingyun also opened his eyes. It's just that when he saw Du Ruo, his brows moved obviously.
"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. This poem is very appropriate to describe Du Ruo at this time. Although Qingyun hurriedly removed his eyes, he was still in a trance.
The fat tiger, who usually likes to steal the conversation, didn't open his mouth this time, and exchanged glances with Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei opened his mouth first. "Something happened. ”
Du Ruo's heart suddenly chuckled, she had felt uneasy before, and she felt even more nervous when she heard Xiao Hei say this. The movements in his hands also stopped.
"What's the matter?" Qingyun was much calmer.
"There was a powerful ban set up in front of the Luofu faction, and Fat Tiger and I couldn't break in and were afraid of startling the snake, so we sneaked into the medicine collection village. According to the conversation between the two villagers, a group of people dressed as officers and soldiers entered the mountain a few days ago, and within a few hours, the stone bridge was destroyed by a sudden thunderstorm. Xiao Hei spoke briefly, and in just a few words, he conveyed the information he had discovered.
Du Ruo only felt a "buzz" in his brain, and his heart instantly jumped to his throat. She didn't know why she suddenly became so nervous, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.
Qingyun's expression also became solemn. You must know that Xiao Hei's mana is the same as that of ordinary immortals, and he knows the details of the Luofu faction. The person who can set up a helpless ban on Xiao Hei is definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
There is also the stone bridge, which is struck by thunder, except for the demon thunder, it can only be heavenly thunder. There is no demonic energy on this mountain, Qingyun is certain.
He already had some clues.
"It doesn't matter. Qingyun had walked to Du Ruo's side. He held his hand tightly, "You just have to survive the tribulation with peace of mind, everything is with me." ”
Du Ruo nodded. But the look was still a little unnatural.
Qingyun gently hugged her and whispered, "It's okay, I'll go and investigate in person in a while." ”
"Hmm. Du Ruo responded, reacted and looked up at Qingyun again, she felt that the person who could set such a powerful ban must not be an ordinary person, although Qingyun was also very powerful, but this worry seemed to come from instinct.
"Don't worry, I'll do what I can. Qingyun said with relief.
"Good. Du Ruo didn't say anything more, she believed Qingyun.
