Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the Capital Chapter 129: Uninvited Guest

Li Xiangru threw away his messy thoughts, and gently picked up a fish from the river and put it into a small bamboo basket halfway into the water. Put down the purple bamboo fishing rod, squatted down and picked up the small bamboo basket, and after checking the water, he jumped and struggled to catch three fish, and smiled happily.

He took out a knife from between his boots, squatted by the stream and cleanly disemboweled a few fat fish, put them in the clear stream water to wash them, and then put them back into the bamboo basket, and then carried the small bamboo basket to the shaded tree of Yan Ruyu and the ugly girl.

The scenery of green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers, is enough to make people feel happy and temporarily leave their troubles behind.

Miss Yan lay under the big tree with a blanket and teased and grew up in a circle. Xiao Bai lazily buried herself in the crook of her arm, squinting slightly to enjoy her caressing. Yan Ruyu said angrily: "This guy, why is he so lazy? It's not active when he comes out, and if he doesn't run to play, is it possible that he naturally doesn't have the slightest curiosity and yearning for this mountain, forest, and tree?" He said, "Do you think it's sick? How can it not even have nature?"

Li Xiangru sprinkled some seasoning on the grilled scorched yellow fish, bent down slightly and leaned his nose over to smell it, and said without looking back: "Maybe it's because of long-term contact with people, or maybe it's too attached to you that it's reluctant to take half a step away from you." ”

Yan Ruyu smiled happily when she heard this, and said proudly: "That's, after all, Miss Ben is so beautiful and so charming." After speaking, he continued to lie down, continued to caress the top of the little white plush head with one hand, pillowed the back of his head with the other, looked at the sunlight flowing between the gaps in the leaves, and said comfortably: "I really hope that every day is like this...... It's beautiful. ”

Li Xiangru turned his eyes around, glanced at the lady who was lying and enjoying herself, waiting to be fed, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: You are doing well, you can make trouble with whatever you want to eat. Didn't know how to help.

Turning his head to look at the ugly girl who was skewering the cleaned mushrooms into a stick. Under the sun, a fine sweat broke out on his forehead. Xindao: This is a decent woman.

"Big brother, it's all right. The ugly lady picked up a few plates, and when she looked up, she saw Li Xiangru looking at her with hot eyes, lowered her head, and blushed slightly on her cheeks.

Li Xiangru laughed, like a spring flower, the ugly girl was still so shy. Turning his eyes away and turning the grilled fish in his hand, he said, "Take it and bake it together, and when the fish is cooked, these should also be cooked." Ugly girl, go sit under the tree and rest, I'll do it here. ”

"No, I'm not tired. The ugly lady smiled, brought the plate over, stood aside and placed the ingredients on the grill, and turned the barbecue like Li Xiangru.

Li Xiangru smiled and did not refuse. While following her to tell when to put the ingredients and when they can be baked.

In less than half an hour, he placed the fish on a large plate, and put some green and red vegetables around the grilled fish field as a match. All of a sudden, the fragrance overflows......

Lying on the ground, Yan Ruyu couldn't bear the seductive fragrance for a long time, stood up, looked up at the sunlight that could tan her snow-white skin, hesitated for a moment, and immediately ran over, snatched the plate of fish that had been arranged, and hurriedly ran back to the shade of the tree.

For foodies, everything else is illusory underneath the food.

Li Xiangru said angrily: "I'm afraid of the sun, and I have to eat these things in the sun." ”

Yan Ruyu impatiently picked up a piece of fish skin with a chopstick, blew it lightly a few times and handed it into her mouth, and responded while enjoying it: "What do you know? ”

Li Xiangru was dumbfounded, could this mean that when you are in the mood to eat, you can eat without caring whether the food is delicious or not? He shook his head, and said to the ugly lady who was busy smiling on the side: "It's okay, this thing is too hot, and it is not appropriate to eat too much." ”

The ugly girl nodded, smiled in return, and walked with Yan Ruyu.

The ugly lady elegantly picked up the grilled fish plate with chopsticks and chewed a few green vegetables next to it.

Yan Ruyu did not lose most of the fish on the plate at this time, and was about to eat another roast chicken leg when Li Xiangru stopped, she looked up and asked a little unhappily: "What are you doing? I haven't eaten enough!"

Li Xiangru rolled his eyes and replied: "This kind of thing is easy to get angry if you eat too much, you look at the sun shining brightly, are you really afraid that you will wake up tomorrow and find a face on the ground?"

Yan Ruyu was a little scared when she heard this, looked at Li Xiangru in surprise, and asked tentatively, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! I'm still a doctor!" Li Xiangru argued, looking at Yan Ruyu who was hesitant in his eyes and continued: "Then, I'll talk about it first." If you have ugly things on your face, don't rely on me then, I don't have a problem. ”

For Li Xiangru's medical skills, Yan Ruyu is still relieved, she feels that the truth in these words is quite high, and she will not risk making her face ugly in order to eat, so she touched her face and put down her hand in a sneer, and said to Li Xiangru a little unwillingly: "Sigh...... It's just half-baked and barefoot practicing medicine......"

Just as she wanted to continue, a figure shook in front of them at some point, snatched the untouched grilled fish in front of Li Xiangru, and said, "It's so fragrant!

Yan Ruyu looked at it fixedly, and just said that Li Xiangru was a barefoot practitioner of medicine, but another Taoist priest came to him? He looked at this middle-aged man with a beard on his chin and dressed as a middle-aged man, and wondered, why did this guy suddenly appear? Could it be that he is also a high-ranking person?

The Taoist just wanted to grab the grilled fish with his hand, and suddenly remembered something, and looked at a man who seemed to be frightened, a little curious, and a man with an indifferent and calm face, and tried to squeeze out a kind smile, and said, "That...... I'm sorry about that...... I was so hungry. Lao Dao has not eaten the grain of rice for three days......" After speaking, he gently pushed the plate over, but his fingers were still pinching the plate.

The ugly lady was just frightened by the sudden appearance of this person for a day, and when she saw that his face was kind and he was an outsider, she relaxed. When I heard that he hadn't eaten for a few days, I was even more unbearable. After searching left and right, he pushed some other roasted vegetables and meat in front of him, and then looked at Li Xiangru. In this case, it is natural for Li Xiangru to speak, although he doesn't think that Li Xiangru will be angry because of her actions.

Li Xiangru smiled, stretched out his hand and signaled, "Dao Chief, please feel free." When I came out in the morning, I was already full, so the fish didn't move. ”

The ugly lady immediately wiped Li Xiangru's chopsticks with a handkerchief, handed them to the Taoist chief with a smile, and explained, "Big brother...... My big brother...... We didn't move the chopsticks, and we didn't prepare more than the ground, so please don't dislike it. ”

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it......" The Taoist chief said with a smile, and he was not polite, grabbed the chopsticks handed over by the ugly lady with his big hand, picked up a piece of delicate fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth, exhaled comfortably, and praised it: "It's delicious, it's delicious! It's so delicious! This is the most delicious fish Lao Dao has ever eaten in his life! It's even more delicious than the people on the small island in the sea in Fuzhou who feed on fish!"

The ugly lady silently took out a bowl, poured it full of wine and put it next to Lao Dao, who smiled and nodded in thanks.

Yan Ruyu looked the Taoist up and down, wondering in her heart that this old Taoist looked only in his early forties, why did he keep calling himself an old Taoist?

Lao Dao didn't care at all about Yan Ruyu's somewhat impolite gaze, and smiled at her.

Yan Ruyu was not afraid at all, and asked: "Old Dao, what are you doing? Where did you come from? How do you feel that you appeared out of thin air?"

Lao Dao devoured a plate of fish in an instant, leaving only the fish skeleton neatly placed on the food plate, squatted up the bowl again, took a big sip, sighed, and smiled at the three dumbfounded: "Lao Dao came from Fuzhou to find an old friend." It's just delayed by something. He naturally didn't want to mention the ghost hunting, he was afraid of scaring these two kind, cute and beautiful girls.

"That'...... How did you suddenly appear? Could it be that you are also a cultivator?" Yan Ruyu was dissatisfied with the old Taoist answer, and continued to ask.

Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, smiled, waved his hand and said, "No, no, no...... What kind of immortal am I, I just happen to know some means of escaping. Then leaned over slightly, so he whispered mysteriously: "You should know that after being abducted and deceived by a Taoist priest like us, the master knew that he was going to be beaten to the ground, and if he was beaten to the ground more, he would naturally run faster." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Giggles...... Yan Ruyu laughed uncontrollably, pointed to the old Taoist and said, "How can you say this about your own Taoist......"

Lao Dao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Alas...... There's no way, the Taoist priest in the mountain is not as good as the monk in the temple. We don't have that begging bowl, and we don't have the beauty of the monks when we read the scriptures. If you want to say something about catching ghosts and subduing demons, I haven't seen it, and even if I did, I ran away anyway with my way......"

The ugly lady also laughed when she heard this, and Yan Ruyu laughed even more, and generously put a chicken leg in front of Lao Dao, and praised it with a thumbs up: "Reasonable! Honest enough! This chicken leg is rewarded to you! Haha......"

Lao Dao nodded, muttered thank you in his mouth, and after taking it, he stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth without hesitation and pulled off a piece of it fiercely. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Xiangru secretly looking at the peachwood sword behind him, silently continuing to bite the chicken legs, and talking funny words to the two girls.

Yan Ruyu had a lot of curiosity about this interesting tour of Fang Dao people, and asked a lot of questions, Lao Dao thought about it and selected a few distinctive local customs to talk to them, and the three of them listened with relish. Even Li Xiangru listened carefully, and when he talked about the burning of the city in Gongzhou, he deliberately glanced at him a few times.

Li Xiangru was indifferent in his heart, of course he wouldn't think that this Taoist was really just an ordinary Taoist who walked the rivers and lakes to cheat big people out of money. Especially when I caught a glimpse of the Taoist spirit, the peach wood sword and the demon collection pot exposed a little bit around the waist. The inscription on his demon collection pot was very similar to his own. He had never seen the little white fox who was alert from beginning to end, and he had doubts about the Taoist.

Ghosts and demons, born to be enemies of Taoists. The nature of the little white fox made it perceive the danger of the Taoist, and this was also the first time that the little white reacted to the outside world.
