Chapter 401: Sauerkraut Soup (1)

The old house of the Yi family is still in decline, but the blue-black eaves tiles with thick snow have a different charm, as if the white jade is covered with jade, and the stark contrast makes people's eyes shine, and the mood calms down.

The old mansion is hidden in the gala of the imperial capital, which is extraordinarily quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, even if there is a vehicle whistle, it is only distant, distant, just like this mountain, I heard that mountain, a few cranes in the distance.

The old man who followed the people saw An Xiaoyu wrapped in a plush coat outside the door, and was a little surprised, but he still let An Xiaoyu in, didn't say anything, and didn't complain that An Xiaoyu came with a lot of things.

An Xiaoyu did carry a lot of things in his hands, all of which were some common snacks in the imperial capital, as well as cooked food and the like, as well as two bottles of good wine.

Following the old man into the old house, An Xiaoyu put down her things, went to the house and looked at Yi Zhe, who was still the same, well preserved, and there was no movement.

An Xiaoyu tried to feel his soul, and found that this kind of slumber was not just a state, but that his soul had entered a dangerous state, probably because he had experienced life and death, and he was not so lucky.

With a sigh, An Xiaoyu knew that she wanted to wake up Yi Zhe, but sure enough, it was still far away, and when she looked back and saw the expectant gaze of the old man, she could only shake her head apologetically.

The old man has been lonely for so many years, and the open-mindedness and calmness reflected at this time made An Xiaoyu a little admired. He just smiled, continued to open the plastic bag An Xiaoyu brought, and was ready to start cooking for An Xiaoyu.

It's just that when he saw the two bottles of good wine, the eyes of the old man obviously lit up, the two of them glanced at each other, and the old man left happily with the bag.

In the entire Yi family's old mansion, there were only two people in total, and now there are three people.

An Xiaoyu is not afraid of the cold, and the old man also has the strength of the young master realm, and his ability to withstand the cold is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people. Yi Zhe lies in the sleeping cabin all day long, warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable, so there are no heating facilities in the old house at all.

And they also don't have the money to lay pipes.

The whole hall was silent and deserted, the wooden door was open, and the snowflakes outside the door fell on the dilapidated pond, and the bottom of the dry pond was getting thicker and thicker, and the snowflakes were still falling, and this heavy snow had been falling for a whole day and a night.

There was only a dying stove in the middle of the room, placed next to the guest chair, An Xiaoyu reached out and picked up the stove next to it, picked up the charcoal fire in the stove, the red light and the faint heat spread, An Xiaoyu put down the stove, copied the sleeve of his coat, and placed it in the chair.

An Xiaoyu is actually not cold, but I don't know why, she just wants to wear the same clothes as normal people outside. Either you're fed up with other people's blue eyes, or you want to get back to normal life completely, or you just feel that winter and coats are still more comfortable.

Coming to the Yi family's old house was not a temporary idea, when she saw the body of the bald old man, An Xiaoyu was suddenly very scared, afraid that such a person as the old man would suffer such a thing when he would suffer like this, and he couldn't stand the torture of life, so he chose to end his time.

Although she knew in her heart that this was absolutely impossible, she was still uneasy after all if she didn't come to see it.

Soon, the old man cut all the cooked food brought by An Xiaoyu on a plate, smoked it a little to keep it hot, cooked a pot of beautiful rice, plus a few more homely hot dishes, and even a pot of sauerkraut soup.

After eating, An Xiaoyu drank a bowl of sauerkraut soup "snorting", feeling the sour taste and the satisfaction of the hot soup, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

The old man put down the half glass of wine in his hand and said: "When we used to wander, we used to go to the northern provinces, and although we could plant two crops a year in that place, the harvest was still not very good, and wintering was a big problem for them. ”

"At that time, sauerkraut was just a method that the local people came up with in order to have a meal to eat in winter, who knows what experts and professors are now promoting health and health, but it has become a treasure, and the vacuum is all over the street."

"I still think that the sauerkraut I soaked tastes better, so I soaked a vat myself, and you are blessed."

An Xiaoyu had never eaten sauerkraut in the Eastern Wilderness before, the weather in the Eastern Wilderness was dry and hot, and the sauerkraut could not grow at all, and it was difficult for lactic acid bacteria to survive under that condition, and they could not find a cold place to store it.

It's just that after coming to the imperial capital, An Xiaoyu once saw sauerkraut and white meat in a northern restaurant with the tomb dead, and after eating it once, he can never forget it, this time he drank the sauerkraut soup of the old man, although there is no meat, but after adding thin vermicelli, it is also quite good.

And in the cold winter, after two people finish eating, drink a bowl of hot sauerkraut soup, and look at the heavy snow outside the window, the satisfaction given to people is no longer something that can be summed up by simply eating.

The old man continued: "At that time, I took the young master to wander all over the place, running around, and there was no food for three days and two ends, especially in the extreme north, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and many places are dense coniferous forests, and walking for three days and three nights is a vast deep mountain. ”

"We can only survive by digging up the stock of squirrels, and occasionally we are lucky enough to run into snow rabbits, and we can eat a full meal, and we can run into wolves......"

The old man said that he was a little emotional.

An Xiaoyu can imagine that a servant of the young master realm, with a young master who has not yet reached the peak of his body, is struggling to move forward in the deep mountains and rivers with thick snow, even if he encounters a wolf, it will be difficult to deal with because of hunger and fatigue, let alone a wolf pack.

"At some point, we hope that, after crossing this mountain, we will be able to meet a larger village, and then the people there will kindly squeeze a little out of their rations to help us. If you can't squeeze it out, they will also give us a bowl of sauerkraut soup in their pot. ”

"At that time, being able to drink a bowl of sauerkraut soup was the greatest enjoyment of our lives, and it could support our motivation to continue to live."

The old man's memories filled the whole room, and An Xiaoyu held the empty soup bowl and listened intently. She thought of what she had done at the Sand Sea Base, escaping from the mouth of the Sand Sea Centipede to protect herself from the vicissitudes of the base.

After going through so many things, An Xiaoyu always felt that the experience of the Shahai base was her most real adventure, including all the open and secret battles in the imperial capital, including the Heavenly Spirit Domain and the Heavenly Dao, including the High Priest and Changsheng, which could not be compared to the things between Chi Mo, Guan Jue, and Bai Amaranth.

Of course, there are also Zhang Shujie and Chu Sui, as well as pickle jars.

The old man took the empty bowl in An Xiaoyu's hand and asked An Xiaoyu if she wanted another bowl, An Xiaoyu nodded of course, looking at the heavy snow outside the door, a little distracted.

She took a sip of the hot soup, carefully thinking about her own experiences and future plans, seriously like a sauerkraut gang chewed and chewed in her mouth, gradually chewing out the tastes, and gradually chewing these tastes, feeling the wonderful and tasteless parts.

She finally decided that in less than a month, she wanted to live a plain life, like all the ordinary people around her, no matter what happened, she would not take it over, and as long as the strange things that happened had nothing to do with her, she would not pay attention to them.

Anyway, the world can run without everyone, so why should she mix in each of these things?

There is less than a month left until the end of the first half of the semester of Three Thousand Academy. The semester of the empire is fixed, the first semester starts in August and ends in November, the time is December and January, the second semester starts in February and ends at the end of May, and June and July are summer vacations.

An Xiaoyu came from the Eastern Wilderness for the first time, and the special car was earlier than the fresh graduates in other places, and it had been almost five months since she arrived in the imperial capital, and the time was so fast that An Xiaoyu was a little uncomfortable.

She has experienced so many things in the past five months, from an ordinary person to a cultivator, and from an ordinary cultivator to a young sect, the things she has experienced have been piled up in these five months, and they have come one after another, almost making her unable to react to herself.

Because these things are piled up, she rarely has the opportunity to sort out these things, and now she finally wants to be idle, finally wants to leave it alone, and finally has time.

The old man understands An Xiaoyu's thoughts very well.

"When I fled with the young master, I was also young and vigorous, although I was not full of confidence, but I always had the courage to face all kinds of difficulties, never give up, never admit defeat. But the more I refused to admit defeat, the more sudden the defeat became. ”

"After the young master was seriously injured and fell into a coma, I was depressed for a while, and I was also confused, not knowing where to go and what to do. Until the Yi family found me and took me to the old mansion, which became our home completely. ”

"That's when I realized that there's nothing better than home. Even if there are no relatives here, no beautiful houses, and no one even wants to enter the door, this place belongs to me, to me and the young master, so the monotonous life has begun to have hope. ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and suddenly missed her parents very much, missed her home in Donghuang, and missed her own house in the Yilan Villa District.

Of course, the administrators are missed even more.

The old man seemed to see An Xiaoyu's thoughts, so he took the bowl that was empty again in her hand, and encouraged softly: "Go ahead, do what you want." ”

An Xiaoyu glanced at the face of the old man, and was a little moved in her heart, and after thanking her, she ran out of the old mansion quickly, leaving a string of exquisite footprints on the ground of the old mansion, startling the sparrows that were resting on the branches, and the yard suddenly began to come alive.

An Xiaoyu ran out of the old mansion, ran into the alley and took off, flying in the direction of the Three Thousand Academy, and soon arrived at the door of the Three Thousand Books, and couldn't wait to come to the B0 floor, just about to reach out and push the door, but was stunned.

What do you want to say when you come here so excited? She hadn't even thought about it.

When facing the administrator, An Xiaoyu has always been in a semi-mentally retarded state, and it is the same now. She was entangled in her heart, should she tell the administrator that she wants to be intimate with you? That's too much, isn't it?

An Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, calmed down her emotions, pretended that nothing happened, pushed open the door and walked in.

Entering the door, he chatted directly: "What a coincidence, you are also here!" ”

The administrator raised his head and looked at her with caring eyes: "The medicine can't be stopped." ”

"Cut!" An Xiaoyu was disgusted, but she still squeezed into bed greasy and crookedly, leaned against the administrator, looked at the book in his hand that he couldn't understand, and smirked.

The Three Thousand Academy has been quiet lately, very calm.

All the students were starting to get busy studying, because there was less than a month to go until the Devil's Exam Week, and they couldn't help but be nervous.

The school paths are full of pedestrians in a hurry in the morning, noon and evening, and the study rooms are usually full, but in the last month, almost all classes are over, leaving enough time for students to review or prepare.

For the students of 3000 Academy, academic performance is always the foundation of their livelihood, whether you are a genius or not, whether you like to go to school or not, whether you want to find the right major or not, grades will always be the hard standard for you to survive in school.

Because as long as you hang up three subjects, you will not be able to study.

An Xiaoyu has been studying with a textbook at night recently, the administrator is very quiet here, and there is a ready-made desk, and occasionally the administrator will give him guidance, I feel that the administrator has not done anything for so many years but has figured out the whole world?

Come to the sea of 3,000 books early in the morning, go out for a meal at noon, and then occupy the administrator's bed to sleep, let the administrator go down to mark the key points for her, and then continue in the afternoon.

Maintaining such a state, it is quite easy for An Xiaoyu to get a high score, after all, An Xiaoyu's developed mind is no longer a human brain.

Usually, An Xiaoyu eats with Mu Si and them, and occasionally Leng Yan and a few young masters will come over, which makes people from other families blush.

They were all surprised that An Xiaoyu had been divided into more than a week and didn't go out to make trouble, and An Xiaoyu's answer to them was: "I'm old, I can't move anymore." ”

But anyone can see that An Xiaoyu has been in good shape recently, her face is full of happiness, and the thought of her running to the sea of three thousand books every day can't help but make them extremely envious.

The closer the exam, the more some people believe in metaphysics, after all, not everyone is a genius, and they are not very suitable for life here when they just enter the university, and there are always some people who fall behind in their studies, so they live in dire straits for a month.

And the more this happens, the more people will believe in metaphysics.

At the end of each semester, all kinds of worship and blessings, lucky pictures, and fortune divination began to become popular in the school. Those who believe go for comfort, and those who don't believe also join in the fun, of course, in addition to these more traditional things, there are also some high-tech ones.

For example, a responsive application that has gone viral in the school has spread throughout the college in less than a few days, and more and more people are trying it.

Of course, no one will directly believe this kind of thing, just think that someone is cheating on the number of clicks, and it is estimated that those people from the software development school are debugging new software as the content of the graduation project.

Even if they think so, they won't abandon it, in short, it's auspicious, and they're all classmates, it's not easy to want clicks? Just cheer you on.

This responsive software not only has a wish-making and divination function, but also a display board where everyone's wishes are displayed anonymously, which is what really makes this software spread among people.

Many people are happy to look at the wishes posted on the display board in addition to studying, some are sincere, some are joking, watch the fun, adjust the state of life, and ensure the quality of learning.

However, things are not as simple as they think.

At the end of the semester, the students are busy studying, and the whole is immersed in their own world, and even the former gossip king is already unable to protect himself, so he naturally doesn't care about the new events in the school.

Only a few people began to pay attention to the strange events that had happened recently, and An Xiaoyu was one of them.

The school began to rumor that someone did not sleep overnight because of too many subjects in the final exam, and died suddenly in the dormitory.

An Xiaoyu didn't know if this rumor was true or false at first, because the dormitory of the students of which college was really a bit far away from An Xiaoyu's dormitory.

Later, the official news came that the student did die suddenly, because of overwork, died in the dormitory, and the news was not blocked by the school, but a special mourning event was held, and then the students were warned to take care of their bodies.

An Xiaoyu didn't care, and neither did the others.

Because it is said that there will always be such people in school every year, probably because they don't usually know how to exercise, the body is originally sub-healthy, and sub-health has become unhealthy to the extreme, and I don't know it, I usually eat and drink a lot and stay in the house all day, and suddenly strengthen my study plan.

It's over......

And it has been two or three days since the rumors of sudden death came out and the official news was established, and the review process has wiped out everyone's curiosity, and few people will pay attention to what terrible truth is hidden behind this sudden death incident.

Just a few days ago, An Xiaoyu once saw a joking wish on the display board of "Responsive", hoping that the fat housemate in the dormitory who doesn't like to be clean, eats takeout in the dormitory all day and doesn't throw takeout boxes, and doesn't take a bath for a month makes the dormitory full of smells die, so that his learning progress can be greatly improved.

At that time, someone commented below, you are also reviewing in the dormitory, aren't you also a fat house?

So this incident was seen as a joke at the time, and after laughing, it was pulled down, and this memory began to be crushed by all kinds of formulas and numbers.

But who is Ann Xiaoyu? She remembered everything she saw and heard clearly, and she didn't even think to forget it if it wasn't necessary.

And she soon discovered that the person who died suddenly was the fat house that was joked about by her roommate in her original wish.

Immediately afterwards, on the "Responsive Request", several death wishes appeared one after another.

It's a big deal!
