Gu Liuxi rolled up his sleeves and uncovered the lid of the pot, and sure enough, he saw two dry pancakes boiling in the pot, which should be the two that Song Yu took away in the morning, but he didn't have time to eat them yet.

"That's not good, you haven't eaten at noon, and you've been tired for another day, how can you only eat these at night?" Gu Liuxi took out the pancakes, mixed another scoop of water into them, and covered the pot, planning to make something else to fill Song Yu's stomach.

Song Yu couldn't bear that she was still busy in the middle of the night, and said, "Don't worry about me, you go to sleep, I'll just come by myself." ”

"Shhh

In addition to Li Mu is still studying, Father Song and Aunt Song are asleep, and Li An doesn't know where to wander, it is estimated that he is wandering all over the mountains, but he is a boy, so it is not worrying.

Gu Liuxi fished out a handful of dried whitebait from the grain tank and chopped it, cut off a little bit of the pork that Song Jiao brought, chopped it and mixed it with minced whitebait and kneaded it into meat balls and put it in the pot to boil, and then put in a handful of noodles when it was suitable, sprinkle it with green onions and coriander, put in soy sauce, lard, salt, etc., and a bowl of fragrant noodles came out of the pot.

Song Yu soaked the two pancakes in the noodle soup and ate them together, Gu Liuxi sat at the table and looked at him with a smile, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's delicious, but it's ......" Song Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You are Miss Qianjin, why are your cooking skills so good?" ”

Gu Liuxi was stunned for a moment, and before he could think of a wording, Song Yu immediately said: "I just asked casually, I don't mean anything else, don't mind, I don't want to say that I don't ask." ”

This person is really considerate, Gu Liuxi said with a smile: "It's nothing, I've been greedy since I was a child, I like to go to the kitchen to watch the chef cook, and I will look at recipes from all over the world when I have time on weekdays, so I learned a lot of dishes to make for myself. ”

"I see." Song Yu nodded and buried himself in eating noodles.

After that, Gu Liuxi applied ointment to Song Yu and told him to sit in the room and not shake violently, so as not to fall off the ointment and have to be recompressed, and he went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, brushed the iron pot, and then returned to the room.

Song Yu sat on the edge of the table reading a book, an oil lamp was dim, and the breeze blew the flames and moved with it, shaking Gu Liuxi's eyes hurt.

In ancient times, in addition to animal oil, sycamore oil could be illuminated, there were only candles, right? Gu Liuxi remembered reading it in "Sou Shen Ji" before, saying that "outside the South China Sea, there are sharks, water dwellers, like fish, do not waste weaving achievements, and their eyes can produce pearls when they cry."

According to the records, there is a kind of merman in the South China Sea, like a fish living in the sea, they keep weaving, the silk cloth woven is not wet when it meets the water, it is a rare gem to see the best, the tears of the merman will become pearls when they fall to the ground, the value is invaluable, and the oil of the merman is even more magical, the ignition point is low and the burning time is long, it will not be extinguished for several days, and even the ever-bright lamp in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is made of merman oil.

However, legends are legends after all, and there must be an element of exaggeration. Gu Liuxi didn't dare to hope that there would be an Edison invention of electric light in ancient times, and there had to be electricity before that. So give her some oil that burns for a long time, so that it can be lit for a long time.

Gu Liuxi laughed out loud when he thought about it, Song Yu came back to his senses from the book and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Ah, did I get you noisy?" Gu Liuxi hurriedly covered his mouth.

"No," Song Yu put down the book, "have you thought of anything funny?" "He still has a scar-removing ointment on his face, and a circle of gauze around the outside, which looks a little bloated and a little scary.

Gu Liuxi told Song Yu the legend about the shark with the mentality of telling a story, she was just trying to have fun, but she didn't expect Song Yu to mutter: "There are indeed sharks in the South China Sea, who live deep in the sea, and after entering the ground, the shark tail turns into legs, and can walk on land, and the woven cloth is also called dragon yarn, which is the most precious tribute to the royal family in the South China Sea, but the so-called tears can turn into pearls is just an exaggeration, and it is nonsense that the merman oil can last forever." ”

Gu Liuxi's mouth opened wide in surprise.

She thought that the ancients didn't know much about the shark people, especially this kind of poor countryside, and she should have rarely heard of it, but she didn't expect Song Yu to talk about it like he saw it with his own eyes.

"What you just said, is it recorded in the history books or did you hear it from whom?" Gu Liuxi asked cautiously.

Song Yu picked up the book from the goodness, "I saw it in the book." ”

"Whew, scare me." Gu Liuxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had really seen the merman, and then she yearned for it: "If only there were really mermaids in this world, they must be very beautiful." ”

"Like us, they have different appearances, but they don't care about their appearance." Song Yu said casually.

Gu Liuxi: "......"

What the hell is going on with this man? Looking at how well he knows about the merman, could it be that he really saw the merman when he was fishing at sea?

Gu Liuxi was excited when he thought about it, "Song Yu, have you ever been to the sea before?" ”

Song Yu's gaze wandered, "Well, I have been to the South China Sea and the East China Sea before. ”

"Really?" Gu Liuxi pounded the bed excitedly, "Are those places fun?" Are there any pearls? Are there any myths and legends? ”

Seeing that Gu Liuxi was very curious, Song Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "There are pearls in the East China Sea, which are indeed very beautiful, but rare and exotic beasts are rare, and even if they do, they are hidden in a deserted place to avoid the crowd." ”

At night, the two blew out the oil lamp, Gu Liuxi lay on the bed, listening to Song Yu lying on the stool tell her about what she had seen and heard in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

Gu Liuxi never knew that a mountain hunter could have such a rich experience, and in just over twenty years, he seemed to have traveled all over the world, and he kept all the secrets in his eyes and remembered them.

In Song Yu's narration, the East China Sea and the South China Sea are like a magical country independent of the world, birds and beasts that can communicate with people, and a country of women who manipulate snakes, which are more exciting than any novel or TV series she has ever seen, just like the bizarre ancient fairies in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which are fascinating.

Gu Liuxi listened to it with relish, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the third watch, but she couldn't sleep because she was too excited, so she asked Song Yu to continue to tell her.

Song Yu said helplessly: "You're yawning, go to sleep quickly." ”

"It's so interesting, I want to hear it." Gu Liuxi unconsciously used a coquettish tone with his parents.

"Sleep, Liuxi, the coming day will be long, and I'll tell you when I'm free." Song Yu coaxed softly.

Gu Liuxi had no choice but to give up, closed his eyes and muttered, "Then you must continue to tell me when you have time." ”

"Hmm." Song Yu found that he was becoming more and more inseparable from his little wife.

Since this is the case, then don't let go, lest you regret it later.
