The sun rises in the east, and the figure faces west.

The withered grass on the hillside parted, and the golden wind hit the people's faces, carrying wet and cold moisture, and the spirit was shaken.

The five-flowered horse snorted and snorted, and was alone on the side, and it refused to eat the grass that had been beaten by the frost, so it used its hooves to dig out the grass roots and chew them.

After chewing two bites and feeling disappointed, he strode to Wei Yining's horse, raising his hooves and shaking his head as if he was drunk.

Wei Yining's horse was from the Duanmin County Lord's Mansion, and it was also a good horse, but it was a little timid, and the five-flowered horse was unusually tall, so it came to him, and the horse suddenly felt threatened and became agitated.

Zhong Ye saw it and shouted to the five-flowered horse: "Don't make trouble, go cool down." ”

The five-flowered horse walked away a little later, lay on the ground and flicked his tail.

The county lord of Duanmin chased a roe deer over the mountain with great interest, Shao Nan followed closely, and in addition, the little servants of the county lord of Duanmin and the two maids who could ride horses also followed, for fear that something would go wrong.

Wei Yining and Zhong Ye collected firewood and slaughtered the prey one by one, and they were all done quickly, but they hadn't seen Duanmin County Lord and Shao Nan come back yet.

"Yining, did you eat in the morning?" Zhong Ye asked.

"I ate," Wei Yining squatted on the ground and gathered the dry firewood together: "But I didn't eat too much, I'm afraid that it will be uncomfortable to ride a horse." ”

"The county lords haven't come back yet, so why don't I bake something for you to eat first." Zhong Ye said as he took a cloth bag from his horse, then crouched down and lit the pyre.

"What's in this bag?" Wei Yining poked his head curiously, and his defenseless appearance made Zhong Ye's heart warm.

When she saw that her pockets were filled with her favorite milk, Wei Yining smiled like a child: "Grandpa, you are so good, where did you get these sought-after goods?" Chunjiao went around the street several times but didn't buy it, and the people in the shop said that the milk in the Western Regions would not be available until October at the earliest. ”

"I know a businessman from the Western Regions, who came to Zhaoyi half a month earlier than usual this year. I saw him the other day, and he gave me these, and I put them on my horse. I just happened to think about it, and I don't have anything to do now anyway, so I might as well bake some and eat it. Zhong Ye's tone was very casual, as if everything was just a coincidence, and he didn't deliberately prepare.

Wei Yining picked up a piece of cottage cheese and put it under his nose and sniffed it, saying, "It's so fresh, it's not dry yet, it's just that I haven't eaten fire-roasted milk yet, and everything I used to eat was steamed or fried." ”

Zhong Ye took out a small iron chisel to put on all kinds of milk food, put it on the fire and slowly turn it to roast.

Roasting milk with fire is the eating habit passed down from the ancestors of the herdsmen, and the people of the Central Plains do not eat it like this.

"When I was very young, my mother always liked to roast milk on the fire and feed it to me, she is from the Western Regions, and she likes this simple way of eating, which has a unique flavor." When Zhong Ye talks about his mother, his eyes will always be unconsciously darkened.

Wei Yining has never seen such Zhong Ye, in her heart Zhong Ye is strong, generous, and a man who stands up to the sky.

It seems that he doesn't care about anything, and he is uninhibited and indulgent, and he doesn't worry about anything.

But it turns out that he also has moments of sadness, but it doesn't make people feel weak, but it shows his true temperament even more.

"Grandpa Zhong, Mrs. Xian is from the Western Regions, I wonder if you have ever been to the Western Regions?" Wei Yining asked.

"I've been there three times," Zhong Ye handed Wei Yining a skewer of grilled cheese and said with concern: "Eat slowly, be careful of scalding." ”

Wei Yining thanked him and took it, and after tasting a small sip, he couldn't help but praise excitedly: "It's really a unique flavor, with a little bit of fireworks, but the milky aroma is rich, and the return to the basics is more suitable for my taste than the steamed and fried ones in sugar." ”

Zhong Ye looked at her with squinted eyes and a satisfied look, completely losing his usual shrewdness and calmness, but it made him extremely excited, and he just wanted Wei Yining to be like this forever.

Zhong Ye didn't speak, just smiled and handed over another string of milk, and moved his body without a trace, blocking the cold wind blowing from the side, as if a large screen was installed in front of Wei Yining.

"Grandpa Zhong, you can eat too!" Wei Yining was embarrassed to eat alone, so he baked a skewer with his own hands and gave it to Zhong Ye.

Although the fire-roasted milk food is delicious, it will inevitably stick to some ashes, Wei Yining has eaten it very carefully, but he still rubs a shallow ash on his cheeks, like a cat stealing food.

Seeing that Wei Yining enjoyed eating, Zhong Ye put on the grill and put the game he had made before on it.

Seasoning or something, it had already been prepared before, Zhong Ye slowly turned the grill, and saw that the heat was almost there, and Wei Yining sprinkled the seasoning on it.

There was a burst of meat smell from the desolate and slaughtering mountain, and the Duanmin County Lord and they were in the downwind direction again, and they soon smelled it.

"I'm tired and hungry, let's go back and eat." Duanmin's face was flushed, and she looked charming and heroic in a riding costume.

They caught a few more small prey, and the previous meals couldn't be eaten at all, Duanmin County Lord had already passed the addiction of hunting, and he didn't want to fight anymore when he was lured by the aroma.

Shao Nan smiled warmly and said: "The county lord is slow, he has just galloped his horse, and when he goes back, he will rest on his horse, so as not to be too uncomfortable after dismounting." ”

"Shao Guard, I know why Yining called you," Lord Duanmin said bluntly, "You are so compassionate. ”

Shao Nan didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a gentle smile: "The county lord has won the award, please forgive me for any shortcomings." ”

"What else does Yining have to do? She's too modest on weekdays. Lord Duanmin blinked mischievously and asked Shao Nan: "Also, what are her preferences?" I remember that she was about to celebrate her birthday and wanted to give her a gift. ”

Shao Nan listened to the words of the county lord of Duanmin, and knew that Wei Yining and her did get along well, and he was really happy for Wei Yining.

said: "Although Yining is my sister, I really don't know her preferences," thought for a while and said, "Maybe a woman dressed as a man can be counted as one, right?" ”

When Wei Yining didn't enter the palace, he sometimes went out to play with them, and he would change into men's clothes for convenience, and at that time, he usually wore Shao Nan's clothes.

Moreover, Wei Yining looks very good in men's clothes.

"Eh, that's a good idea, at least chic!" Lord Duanmin said happily: "Thank you! But keep it a secret for me. ”

When they returned, the game was also roasted, and Wei Yining cut off some of the pheasant wings and the hare's hind leg meat and put them on a silver plate and handed them to the county lord of Duanmin.

"Come back next month!" Before he could swallow a mouthful of meat, Lord Duanmin said, "Hunting is so fun, it's much more enjoyable than watching the hunt." ”

After eating, it was already past noon, and everyone got on their horses and slowly descended the mountain.

After entering the city, they split their ways, Zhong Ye stopped at the intersection for a moment, looking at the direction Wei Yining had left.
