Lu Yu said, "Xi'an, I'll teach you to practice." ”

"Is this okay?" Yan Xi'an was also a little excited.

"It should be possible, in fact, it is quite simple, just follow the method taught by the mantra and meditate on luck."

Yan Xi'an's expression was a little troubled, she shook her head and said, "This is your secret, will it be bad for me to learn?" ”

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Which of us is with whom, and what are we with each other." ”

"Hee-hee-hee, you're shameless."

There were three formulas on the kitchen knife, Lu Yu passed the first formula to Yan Xi'an, and explained the meaning of the formula to her word by word, and then taught her how to meditate, how to be lucky, how to feel the aura in heaven and earth, and then absorb the aura into her body.

Yan Xi'an was very smart and quickly learned the method of cultivation, she sat cross-legged on the stone and practiced for a while.

But after practicing for a long time, Yan Xi'an didn't feel any aura, she sat up again, and said to Lu Yu: "It doesn't seem to work, there is no aura." ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I meditated for the first time for a long time before I felt a little bit of aura, and this needs to be practiced slowly." ”

Yan Xi'an nodded: "I know, don't worry." Although Yan Xi'an is young and smart, he is a little impetuous because he is too young, and he is reluctant to practice again after practicing for a while without seeing results.

Lu Yu said: "When you go back, you can only practice secretly at night." Yan Xi'an slept in the same room with her mother, and she could only practice after Mrs. Yan fell asleep.

Yan Xi'an nodded, and suddenly her pretty face turned slightly red. It turned out that she thought that if she didn't sleep with her mother, she would be able to practice generously, but if she didn't sleep with her mother, she could only sleep with Lu Yu, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but be shy.

Lu Yu naturally didn't know what Yan Xi was thinking, and said, "When the time is ripe in the future, I will teach the cultivation method to Xiding, as well as your parents." ”

"Okay, when the time comes, our whole family will be people with mana, and you won't dare to bully me, uncle."

Lu Yu smiled and thought, "When did I bully you?" ”

The two sat on the edge of the pool, looking at the waterfall, listening to the roar of the water, and before they knew it, the sun was setting in the west.

Lu Yu suddenly said, "Xi'an, we don't seem to be able to go up." "The bottom of the cliff is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountain wall is either a waterfall that goes down vertically, or a dense cluster of shrubs and small trees, if Lu Yu wants to carry Yan Xi'an on his back, there is no way to climb up from the mountain wall.

"Then we won't go back, spend the night here!"

"That's not going to work, your parents will be worried." Lu Yu looked around, since he couldn't go up the cliff, he could only walk out of the valley from the other side.

Yan Xi'an said: "Fool, I'm laughing. She said, "Uncle, you can get a few more fish, or we will stay outside for a day and bring nothing back, and when they see it, they will think that we are ...... What it looks like. Speaking of this, Yan Xi'an's face turned red again.

Lu Yu laughed, forced out a few big fish from the water, strung them with thin branches and carried them in his hand, and said, "Then we can only walk back." As he spoke, he bent down again and motioned for Yan Xi to put it on his back.

"Don't carry it." Yan Xi'an held Lu Yu's empty left hand: "I want to go back by myself." ”

To the south of the waterfall pool, there was a gravel stream, and the two of them followed the stream, through the branches and shrubs, all the way down, and walked a long way, never leaving the forest.

Lu Yu didn't know where she was, but Yan Xi'an was not worried at all, jumping and jumping along the way, Lu Yu had to remind her from time to time that she was worried about the uneven mountain road under her feet.

The further down I went, the shallower and shallower the stream, and when I got there, I saw that the surface of the stream was full of pebbles, but there was not much water left. There were high mountains on both sides, and there were still woods and shrubs in front of them, and the two of them walked in the valley and couldn't see far.

Lu Yu was a little anxious, it was getting late, and the valley was even darker, he suddenly regretted that he should have tried to climb the cliff from the waterfall in the first place.

Yan Xi'an persuaded Lu Yu: "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely go out." ”

"Well, don't worry." Lu Yu held Yan Xi'an's little hand tightly, and thought, "Xi'an is not worried that it will be too late to go back, and he is too calm." It's just that it really doesn't get home until dark, and Brother Yan can't help but have some ideas, which is not very good. ”

After walking for a while, Yan Xi'an said, "Uncle, I'm tired, I want you to carry me." ”

Lu Yu smiled and picked Yan Xi'an on his back and said, "Then I'm going to go faster, you hold me tight." ”

"Hee-hee, if you want to be beautiful, don't hold it tightly."

With Yan Xi'an on his back, Lu Yu didn't have to worry about whether his feet were rugged or not, he ran quickly, jumped over stones, bypassed trees, and finally got out of the valley before the sun completely set.

Out of the valley, Lu Yu found that this was near Yangshan Village. It turned out that under the cover of the trees behind him was the mountain road that led to the waterhole. It's just that the trees inside and outside this mountain road are too dense for anyone to find here before.

Lu Yu said to Yan Xi'an: "If there is a shortage of water in the future, we can go in from here to get water." ”

When the two of them got home, it was almost dark.

Seeing the three members of the Yan family, Lu Yu actually felt very embarrassed, but fortunately, it was dark, and no one could see the different colors on his face.

Seeing Yan Yubai, Lu Yu was particularly worried, feeling as if he had done a great bad thing, and he was a little sorry.

Fortunately, Yan Jibai didn't think much about it, and only said: "Brother Yu, you went into the mountain to practice, did that girl bother you again?" ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Don't lie to the big brother, I didn't go into the mountain to practice, I found a valley inside, I want to open up a path to the outside, and when I can't stay outside in the future, we can move in." Lu Yu felt that other people's daughters were getting along with him, and he would hide everything from others, which was a bit unreasonable.

"Oh?" Yan Yubai was also happy, and said: "There is such a good place, then next time Brother Yu takes me in, I can help you a little, and it is good to fight." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly said: "There's no need for this, the passage is almost dug up." He was worried that Yan Jibai would continue to ask, and said: "Brother Yan, for the time being, only me and Xi'an Xiding know where that place is, so it's better not to let others know." ”

Yan Yubai nodded: "That's nature." ”

Yan Xiding was very unhappy today, he got up in the morning and found that Uncle Da Yu and his sister were not at home, these two guys actually carried themselves into the mountain without even saying hello, it was so hateful.

In order to appease Yan Xiding, Lu Yu cooked by himself, cooked a pot of fish soup, fried a fresh fish, and then fried two dishes with pork. Because the backyard of Lu Yu's house is taken care of by Mrs. Yan, there is no shortage of vegetables in autumn such as green cabbage and beans.

When cooking, Lu Yu suddenly thought: "Do it and do it, I will have a few dishes, it seems that I will have to learn a few new dishes in the future, I always cook home-cooked food, and I will get tired of eating too much." ”

Lu Yu was stir-frying, and Yan Xi'an quietly entered the kitchen. She picked up Lu Yu's kitchen knife, looked at the front and back carefully, and said, "Uncle, there are no words on it!" "Lu Yu's family now has three kitchen knives, but he still likes to use his own one when cutting vegetables.

Lu Yu turned his head to take a look, the mantra that appeared on the kitchen knife for the third time was still there, and he asked, "Xi'an, can't you really see it?" ”

"I can't see it." Yan Xi'an put down the kitchen knife and suddenly gently hugged Lu Yu from behind.

Lu Yu was very nervous, worried that someone would come in and see him again, and whispered, "Xi'an......"

Yan Xi'an hugged Lu Yu and let go, she grinned and said, "Uncle, you are so cowardly. ”

"Why is Uncle Da Yu timid?" At this moment, Yan Xiding walked in, and he said again, "Isn't the meal ready yet?" I'm hungry. ”

Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an both blushed, and thought at the same time: "It's so dangerous, I almost let Xiding see it." ”

"Come on, you guys go out and get ready first, and we'll eat right away." Lu Yu put the fish in the pot on a plate and took it out.

When eating, Yan Xi'an was very naughty, stretching out his leg under the table from time to time to kick Lu Yu, or gently kicking Lu Yu. Lu Yu could only pretend to be casual, and he didn't even dare to look at Yan Xi'an more. Until Yan Xiding suddenly shouted: "Sister, why do you keep kicking me?" "Yan Xi'an settled down.

The next day, Lu Yu didn't go up the mountain again, he found that there was not much salt at home when he was cooking yesterday, and he had to go to the town to buy a little. A long time ago, Lu Yu had some salt, but it had been too long, and because he often hunted and needed to marinate meat, there was not much left. Lu Yu brought a lot of silver, and after going out, he thought about it, and went to the kitchen to load a few bacon belts.

There used to be four or five grocery stores in Dunlin, but now only one of them is open, and the doors are half closed. Lu Yu entered the store and asked the boss if there was any salt for sale.

The boss said yes, but he only exchanged food, not sold for money, one pound of salt, twenty pounds of grain. In normal times, the price of one catty of salt is at most two or three catties of grain.

Lu Yu asked him: "I didn't bring any grain, is it okay to exchange it for pork?" ”

"You have pork?" The boss's eyes lit up, and he said, "You can change it, three catties of pork for one catty of salt." ”

Lu Yu shook his head: "Two catties for one catty." Although Lu Yu didn't know how salt was made, he believed that the output of this kind of thing should have little to do with whether there were natural disasters or not.

The boss thought about it and agreed. At this time, grain is certainly precious, but meat is much more precious, and there are very few people in ten miles and eight villages who raise pigs and chickens.

weighed the meat he brought, a total of thirteen and a half catties, and the boss gave Lu Yu seven catties of salt. The salt grains are very coarse and the quality is not very good, but Lu Yu didn't care, and asked the boss to give him a few candles. The owner generously gave him a pack.

Candles are a good thing, when Lu Yu lived alone in the past, he never lit candles, even if he needed to do something at night, he lit an oil lamp. The flame of the oil lamp is small, and the light is dim, far worse than the candle.

When he left the store, the boss had already put on a smiling expression, and Lu Yu remembered that when he first came in, he was not like this.
