Chapter 72: Hot Pot
The Great Wilderness.
Zhang Yi walked to the familiar cave and saw Qiaoqiao sitting alone on a tree, bored in the sun.
Her little feet were dangling there.
Seeing Zhang Yi, Qiaoqiao's face was full of excitement.
"Brother Yi, why are you here?"
Zhang Yi smiled: "Qiaoqiao, I apologized to you for leaving early last time." This time, I'm going to treat you to hot pot. ”
"Great!"
Qiaoqiao jumped down from the tree and hugged Zhang Yi's arm tightly with both hands.
An hour later, the two of them had already walked out of the Great Wilderness and arrived at the border of the Holy Hand Country.
A detachment of guards, patrolling there. Seeing Zhang Yi, they shouted:
"Stop! This is the Holy Hand Country, and you can't pass through without an entry certificate! ”
Zhang Yi took out the Outer Sect Disciple Token of the Deception Sect, and the soldiers quickly stood up straight and saluted.
The border officer in the distance hurriedly ran over and said:
"It turned out to be the Immortal Master of the Deception Sect, I was so presumptuous just now, and I still look at Haihan!"
Zhang Yi asked, "We want to go to Chongcheng, how do we get there?" ”
Chongcheng is the city where the dragon fruit was discovered before. The city is located in a remote area, adjacent to the Great Wilderness.
Hearing Chongcheng's name, the officer blinked, and then stopped:
"Immortal Master is going to Chongcheng?"
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "That's right, what's the problem?" ”
"I've heard that Chongcheng is close to the Great Wilderness, and it seems that there are demons at work." The officer said.
Zhang Yi smiled: "We came out of the Great Wilderness, just to kill demons." ”
The officer smiled and said:
"Then I'll thank the two immortal masters for the people of Chongcheng first. Walking along this road, a hundred miles later will be the territory of Chongcheng. ”
Zhang Yi nodded and walked forward quickly with Qiaoqiao. After a while, they found a small city.
Qiaoqiao stopped, and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Brother Yi, I feel that there is a faint atmosphere of the demon clan in this city."
"You mean, there's a demon clan in the city?" Zhang Yi asked.
Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. This demonic aura is too light, except for me, no one else will definitely feel it. ”
The two came to the city gate and wanted to enter the city, but were stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter the city!"
"Why?" Qiaoqiao asked loudly.
The two soldiers said in a cold voice, "This is the order of the city lord. ”
Zhang Yi had no choice but to take out the outer disciple token again and show it to the two soldiers.
Seeing the token, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two soldiers.
A soldier looked respectful and asked, "It turned out to be Lord Immortal, I don't know why the Immortal Master came to my city?" ”
"What's the matter with you? Just talk a lot about you. ”
Qiaoqiao couldn't wait anymore, so she pulled Zhang Yi and ran into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Qiaoqiao was like a bird flying out of a cage, and he was happy.
"Brother Yi, is this a human city, it's really lively!"
"What kind of building is that, it's so lively inside?"
"That's the casino."
"And what about this place where there are a lot of young ladies?"
"Uh...... This is the Green House. ”
Qiaoqiao walked quickly to the side of the road, picked up a candy man, and asked, "Brother Yi, what is this, so good-looking?" ”
"This is a sugar man, there are many kinds, this sugar man is a fairy. It can be eaten and is very sweet. ”
Zhang Yi explained, took out a tael of silver, and handed it to the old man who sold sugar.
"It's so pretty, don't eat it."
Qiaoqiao said, stuffed the sugar man into Zhang Yi's hand, and went to look at other shops.
This time, her eyes were attracted by a stall selling jewelry.
Qiaoqiao picked up a silver hairpin, fiddled with it curiously, and then turned his head: "Brother Yi, what is this?" ”
"It's a piece of jewelry, I'll put it on for you."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he took the silver hairpin and inserted it into Qiaoqiao's hair.
Qiaoqiao's face was flushed with shame, and in a very expectant tone, she asked, "How is it, am I beautiful?" ”
The seller of silver hairpins was a middle-aged man, and said with a smile:
"Girl, you are very beautiful, just like the fairy in the New Year's painting. I've never seen such a beautiful person as you in my life. ”
Qiaoqiao pouted and said, "I'm not beautiful, it doesn't matter what you say, what Brother Yi says counts." ”
After speaking, Qiaoqiao pulled Zhang Yi and continued to move forward.
Along the way, Qiaoqiao looked east and west, bought a bunch of messy things, and still felt unsatisfied.
Zhang Yi had no choice but to follow her and help her carry her things. I can't help but sigh in my heart, shopping is a woman's nature.
Finally, it was getting late.
"Qiaoqiao, let's find a place to settle down and eat by the way." Zhang Yi said.
Qiaoqiao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I want to eat hot pot!" ”
The two walked into an inn, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him:
"The little couple stays in the hotel? It just so happens that we still have a big room left in the store! ”
"Give us two rooms." Zhang Yi said.
The shopkeeper was full of surprise and asked, "You are not husband and wife?" ”
Qiaoqiao looked unhappy and said, "Why do you ask so much, and then we won't live." ”
"Okay, count me as talkative."
The shopkeeper looked helpless. He opened two rooms, gave the key to Zhang Yi, and said solemnly:
"Seeing that you are outsiders, I want to remind you that Chongcheng is close to the Great Wilderness, so don't go out when it's dark."
"You have to take care of it!"
Qiaoqiao's face was full of unhappiness, snatched the key, and pulled Zhang Yi into the room.
Closing the door, Zhang Yi took out a large cauldron from the saint space and began to make hot pot.
In order to invite Qiaoqiao to eat this hot pot, he had already purchased many ingredients and prepared them.
Beef and mutton, lettuce, potatoes, vermicelli......
The prepared dishes were taken out by him and put in the hot pot in turn.
As soon as these meat dishes were cooked, Zhang Yi took them out with chopsticks, rolled them in the hot pot ingredients that had already been adjusted, and put them on Qiaoqiao's plate.
How have Qiaoqiao ever seen such a diet?
She ate with pleasure and her mouth was full of oil.
"Brother Yi, is this a hot pot? It's so delicious! Qiaoqiao was smiling, and her eyes were almost squinting.
Finally, the two ate late into the night.
Qiaoqiao patted her stomach and said, "I'm full." I felt like I didn't have to eat for three days. ”
Zhang Yi smiled slightly, put away these tools, and prepared to return to his room.
At this moment, Qiaoqiao suddenly grabbed Zhang Yi's hand.
"Brother Yi, don't go!"
Qiaoqiao's hands were white and soft, which made Zhang Yi's heart flutter.
Qiaoqiao pointed out the window and said, "Brother Yi, what is the sound of you?" ”
Zhang Yi held his breath and listened carefully, and heard the sound of running in the distance and the shouts of someone.
"Catch her!"
"Don't let her run!"
Hearing this, Qiaoqiao said:
"Brother Yi, let's go and see the excitement!"
With that, she pushed open the window and jumped out.
Zhang Yi hurriedly caught up with Qiaoqiao, ran forward a few hundred meters, and saw a woman running fast.
The woman was short of breath and sweaty, holding a newborn baby in her hands.
Behind the woman, a group of soldiers armed with swords, and a boy in fancy clothes, were quickly chasing her.
At this time, the moonlight is like silver, pouring down on the ground. In the moonlight, the woman suddenly fell to the side of the road.
The baby flew out, and Qiaoqiao hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.
Immediately afterwards, Qiaoqiao stood in front of the woman and said to the soldiers in front of her:
"You bunch of bad guys, how can you bully this sister?"
"If you dare to take half a step forward, I will kill you!"
