When we arrived at Bai Er's base camp, Xiao Chou and I squatted on the side to make a fire, and the ink was like when I first came, walking around in the cave, touching left and right.

"Xiaobai, Second Master Bai has a vision for site selection, not to mention the good mountains, rivers and fruits along the way, this mansion is bigger than our side room, look at this ceiling...... I can't see the top. Ink crossed his hands on his chest and said, "It's just that the sense of secrecy is a little worse, unlike us, where you can only enter with the key." ”

"Even if you don't have a key, you can't find it."

"Not necessarily." Shui Mo leaned over, "Didn't Chi Nian just now go in this direction?" But they should be passing through here, and they won't have the leisure to come in and visit. ”

"Ink, did the fairy realm go out so often in the past, or was the spirit space too restless recently? I only saw Chi Nian once a few days ago, and I saw it again today. ”

Shui Mo said, "Do you want to see him again in two days, and then check the quality of the task you assigned to him by the way?" ”

"You don't want to?"

Shui Mo shook his head, "I'm different from you, things that usually don't come to fruition, I won't waste time pondering." ”

I glanced at him, "A lot of things that seem to you to have no results seem to have been figured out by me." ”

Shui Mo paused and looked at Xiao Chou, "So I have to say that there are exceptions to everything." ”

Xiao Chou looked at the ink, and then at me, with a blank expression.

At night, I sat in front of the fire in a daze, and Xiao Chou sat over, holding two golden fruits in his hand and handing them to me.

"Let's eat together." I took one over, "Xiao Chou, did you say that the immortals will receive my message?" ”

Xiao Chou looked at me and nodded vigorously.

"As long as you are willing to believe, everything in this world is good." Ink lay on his side on the stone platform, looking at us with his chin on his back.

I gave him a blank look, "Aren't you already asleep?" ”

"Isn't this thinking about getting up and listening to coaxing words, hoping to have a good dream for a while." Ink turned over and continued to sleep.

I whispered to Xiao Chou, "Are you coaxing me?" ”

Xiao Chou shook his head vigorously.

I straightened his head and smiled, "Okay, don't shake it, it'll fall off later." ”

If Xiao Fan received my Golden Fruit, he would know that I had not forgotten him, and if Chi Nian described it in more detail, or if Xiao Fan thought more deeply, he would have guessed that my spiritual sense had been returned...... But if Xiao Fan really guessed this layer, he was so smart, he would definitely guess what method I used...... The more I think about it, the more furious I feel, isn't this equivalent to turning myself in......

Is this a mistake?

The next day, we went to Zhuo Jing's house with Shui Mo.

Zhuo Jing was very happy to see us, and when he saw Xiao Chou behind me, he muttered, "Why are you here too?" ”

Brother Zhuo slapped the back of Zhuo Jing's head, "How can the stinky boy speak!" And then another count.

Ink patted me and whispered, "No wonder many times I think that this bear child is like you, and even the growth environment is so similar." ”

"Beat my son again!" Sister Pei came out of the house, "gently patted Brother Zhuo's head, then kissed him on the face, turned to Zhuo Jing and said, "Mom has helped you take revenge." ”

Brother Zhuo smiled embarrassedly and touched his face, "There are still guests here." ”

"...... Looks like I'm going to have to go back and read the Art of War. Ink muttered, "I've met my opponent." ”

"Bai Yi, Xiao Chou is here." Sister Pei came over with a smile, she looked at the ink and asked me, "This is the friend you mentioned to me before, who has both ability and political integrity, and is outstanding, right?" ”

Did I say that?

Shui Mo smiled heaps on his face, "Hello Sister Pei, I'm going to ink it." This is a little fruit that I have brought you from the woods on my side, and it is not a tribute. ”

Sister Pei took it and nodded slightly, "I have a heart." Our family Zhuo Jing always runs to trouble you, I'm really sorry. Come, come into the house and talk. ”

Ink walked in front with Sister Pei, "Zhuo Jing helped us a lot in the black market, and now we can't do without him over there." ”

Sister Pei smiled lightly, "I don't know what my son is like, if he can help, it must be that you teach well." ”

Shui Mo said with a smile, "Sister Pei has a good reputation, and Zhuo Jingcheng is because of his decent family style, strict father and filial piety." ”

I really can't listen to it anymore, I feel like I've relived the battle of words between Ink and Chuan on the day, and today is the duel of the "Kill Theater Version".

Zhuo Jing sat on the side and listened attentively, looking at these two people with curiosity on his face.

I dragged Xiao Chou into the kitchen to see if there was anything I could do to help Brother Zhuo.

"Bai Yi, Xiao Chou, why don't you sit in the house?" Brother Zhuo said, "There is a lot of smoke here. ”

"It's foggy in the house." I muttered.

"What did you say?" Brother Zhuo just threw a fish into the iron pot and made a "zila" sound.

I smiled, "I just said that I want to learn how to make fish with you." ”

Brother Zhuo looked at me unexpectedly, "Are you still interested in cooking?" ”

"When you're alone, you can deal with it casually, and the whole family won't be hungry if you eat it alone, and now with your younger brother, you can't still be fooled like before."

"From the first time I saw you, I could see that you really love this brother." Brother Zhuo shook his head and smiled, "You haven't seen it, I envy that kid Zhuo Jing!" ”

I looked at Xiao Chou, he lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were full of pleasure.

I said, "Ink also hurts Zhuo Jing, the two of them are now glued together all day long, and Brother Huo in the black market, listening to Ink and Wash, Brother Huo hurts Zhuo Jing like his own son." ”

"Zhuo Jing often mentions these things to us, and it is a blessing for that kid to meet you." Brother Zhuo flipped over the fish in the pot and continued, "I heard that you hunted dozens of white foxes last time, and that kid endlessly shows us every time he comes back. It is also said that it is a fan-shaped blade white fox, and most people will avoid that thing when they see it, but you are bold. ”

I hurriedly said, "I was also a little surprised by what happened last time, but I didn't expect to encounter that kind of thing, I'm sorry to make you worry about Zhuo Jing." ”

"It's okay, I really hope that Zhuo Jing can follow you out more, after all, it's a boy, what do you always say at home?" Brother Zhuo glanced at the living room and whispered, "It's Zhuo Jing who is always at ease, after all, women think differently from us men, but Zhuo Jing has grown a lot in recent days, depending on the situation, your sister Pei is not far from loosening." ”

I smiled, "Actually, Sister Pei's worries are understandable, Zhuo Jing has been by your side since he was a child, and basically never left your sight. Unlike us, a few of us were used to being wild outside. ”

"You used to live alone?"

"I used to live with Bai Ye for more than 20 years, and he is also a good cook, but unfortunately I didn't learn any cooking skills from him." I said, "At that time, I always felt that if someone did this, I didn't have to learn it. ”

Brother Zhuo glanced back at me, his expression was a little bitter, "Human beings all have a lifespan, we have to leave after all, and in the end, everything depends on you." He paused, waved his hand and said, "Oops, it's a big no-no!" ”

"What?" I don't understand.

Brother Zhuo said with a smile, "You must be in a happy mood when cooking, so that the things that are cooked will be delicious, and the mood will affect the main ingredient of the ingredients and the color of the seasoning." ”

"The heart is tied to food, and the food is hearted?"

"You're right!" Brother Zhuo said, "Especially those who are familiar with you, as soon as they eat what you make, they will know whether you are in a good or bad mood when you make this dish." ”

"Really?"

Brother Zhuo nodded, "When you cook vegetables, you will inadvertently put your mood into the pot as a condiment." ”

I thought back to the dishes cooked by Bai Ye, the old man was skilled and stable, as if he had never missed a beat.

Sometimes Bai Ye was blowing his beard and glaring at me one second, and the next second he went into the kitchen, and even then, I didn't taste his failed cooking skills once. So when he cooks, he is always in a comfortable and happy mood?

Is the old man so strong in his heart? Stimulated by me like that, my mentality has never collapsed once?

In a panic, Brother Zhuo's second dish was put into the pot, and when I saw it, it was fried small green vegetables.

"I love this!" I pointed to the little greens, "This should be easier to learn than fish, right?" ”

Brother Zhuo said with a smile, "Actually, these are all the same, as long as you know how to cook the same or two, go back and think about it slowly, and all ten and eight things will come out." ”

I stood by and watched Brother Zhuo go about his work, trying to remember his methods and steps. A few dishes came down, and the memories were messy.

When I sat down at the dining table and looked at the food on the table, I was stunned, and I only remembered the order in which these dishes came out of the pot. Regarding the recipes dictated by Brother Zhuo and the fragments of his cooking, it seems that they were thrown into the pot with these ingredients, and they were boiled and fried.

"Xiaobai, what are you stunned about?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I'm amazed by Brother Zhuo's cooking skills." I said.

"After that, I often come to dinner." Sister Pei smiled, "Just think of this as my own home, a family of six." ”

Zhuo Jing said, "Yes, you will ...... with Ink in the future" He glanced at Xiao Chou and pouted, "You three often come." ”

Brother Zhuo said, "Yes, yes, I really like this kid, Xiao Chou, calm and quiet, unlike our stinky boy, who doesn't have a sense of proportion in what he says and does." ”

"You like him so much, it's better to think of him as a son!" Zhuo Jing said dissatisfiedly, "You see if he will be calm and quiet after you pat him on the back of the head a few times!" ”

"Zhuo Jing!" Sister Pei said, "If you can be as obedient and sensible as Xiao Chou, your father will still beat you?" ”

Zhuo Jing squinted at Xiao Chou and muttered with displeasure, "One or two are like this, I really don't know what good ...... he has."

Xiao Chou's face did not change color, as if the things he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

Sister Pei sandwiched a piece of fish for Zhuo Jing, "In the future, whether you are helping in the black market or playing some of your distant hunting and fishing games, you must be careful." ”

I looked at Sister Pei in surprise, and Brother Zhuo also glanced at Sister Pei, and then secretly gave me a look.

Zhuo Jing was surprised and said excitedly, "Mom, don't you object to me going to do the right thing for heaven?" ”

Sister Pei said leisurely, "You are so capable now, you can go to the heavens, God doesn't care about you what you do, what else do I care about you?" ”

"Really!" Zhuo Jing said excitedly, "Mom, you finally figured it out!" Say, how do you want me to repay you? ”

"The reward is free, but you must listen to the words of the ink. During this time, you have indeed grown a lot, and you can see that the ink has not bothered much on you, and if you follow the ink, your mother can rest assured. ”

Shui Mo hurriedly picked up the teacup, "Thank you Sister Pei for trusting me so much, replacing wine with tea, toasting you, and also respecting this table of delicious food that Brother Zhuo has worked so hard to handle." ”

We also picked up the teacups together.

Brother Zhuo smiled, "It's not hard, I'm a person who likes hunting and cooking." ”

Zhuo Jing stood up and said proudly, "From now on, I am an official member of your team, and I am no longer a backup main force, and you will not be able to do without me in the future!" ”

Ink Zhengse said, "No matter where you go, you have to go home often to see Sister Pei and Brother Zhuo, and your mother is worried." ”

Sister Pei smiled and took a sip of tea.

I looked at Ink and Sister Pei, and said in my heart, a draw.
