The weather has been bad in recent days, and although it has been rainy in autumn, it has always been as cloudy as it is now.

It was another morning, Gu Tinglan couldn't lift any energy after getting up, so she only took a wooden hairpin, lazily pulled her long hair behind her head, and went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook rice.

The fire rises to add some warmth to the gloomy and gloomy weather, and the white rice is put into the pot, and more than three times the amount of water is added, and the warm meal of porridge and soup in the early morning can iron the stomach.

The firewood that had been chopped into small pieces made a 'crackling' sound under the burning of the flames, but it swept away the gloomy mood for a long time, Gu Tinglan raised a very faint smile on her lips, and after taking care of the stove, she walked to the stone frame near the window.

It is said that it is a stone frame, but a stone slab has been raised from the ground by half an inch, and there are several small porcelain altars on the shelf, about half the height of the calf, placed against the wall, and the height is still some time away from the half-open window.

"Huh?" When she was about to lift the porcelain bowl on the altar, she heard the sound of falling rain outside the window, and looked up, but saw a light mist, and a fine light rain fell from the sky, hitting the banana leaves under the window, causing a splash, and a few scattered water droplets jumped into the window and landed on her sleeves.

After a few days of gloomy days, the rain finally began to fall.

Gu Tinglan smiled, her mood was even better than just now, she opened several porcelain altars under the window one by one, and while she still remembered, she took the pen and ink, and wrote down the names of these pickled side dishes on the paper seal that had been glued the day before yesterday: spiced peanuts, sour and crispy radish, fresh and spicy lotus root slices.

Recently, it's always easy to forget something, and every time I come to these jars, I forget which jar contains what kind of food.

After writing here, put the pen and ink back, and go to the stove to check the situation of the rice porridge, and stir it from time to time so as not to stick to the pot again.

After inspecting the porridge pot, I took out a plate from the cabinet next to me, and after thinking about it, I still scooped out some side dishes from the spiced peanut jar, orange carrots, green celery, and soft and glutinous peanuts.

Putting the dish in his hand on the dining table, he suddenly remembered that the fresh vegetables and fruits brought by Du Zhan yesterday had not been put in the ice cellar. Alas, sighing, it's always so lost, and there will be such a long time in the future, but what should I do.

Halfway to the road, a little uneasy, so I added the stove fire again, and the porridge soup with distinct grains was stirred again, and then the vegetables and fruits piled up on the board were divided into categories and put into the ice cellar, saying that it was an ice cellar, but it was just a box made of unknown wood, half a person high, and a frozen charm was built into it to keep the vegetables fresh.

Potatoes, green peppers, a few green onions and garlic, and two very small cabbages, but the size of the palm, it is said that the leaves are very fresh and tender, and the taste is also a little different.

Kneeling in front of the ice cellar to tidy up half, but when she saw a few shiitake mushrooms in the bamboo basket covered by vegetables before, she suddenly remembered that when Qing Xuanyue came back a few days ago, she inadvertently mentioned that she missed the shredded mushroom chicken soup she had made.

It's been a long time, and at that time she was also quite proficient in cooking, and she had to eat and sleep outside the home, but she must not grieve her stomach.

Shiitake mushrooms are a common thing in the forest, no matter what kind of mushroom, as long as you can pick a few flowers, break them into small pieces by hand and put them in the soup, it will have a nostalgic taste, and there are often pheasants and hares in the forest, so it is not difficult to eat.

..

And her encounter with Qingxuan was on a rainy day, because the teachers were different, but they happened to have the same goal, so there were a lot of contradictions. It was such a coincidence that the dark cloud grass they were looking for was born in a rainy place, and when they found it, although they were both prepared, they were all drenched thoroughly.

Although there was a dispute over the ownership of the dark cloud grass, they also unanimously decided to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

I don't know what's going on, after the dark cloud grass was picked, the rain suddenly increased, just like someone was constantly pouring water from the air one after another, there were few people here, and the two searched for a long time in the heavy rain before they found a cave, the place is not big, but it can also accommodate it.

The cave is halfway up the mountain, and there is only rain and no wind, so there is no need to worry about rain pouring in for a while, but the condition of the two of them is not very good, Gu Tinglan took the lead in sneezing, and if the wet clothes on her body continue to be worn like this, I am afraid that I will be infected with the wind cold.

But after all, there was still a man present, so it was inconvenient, thinking of this, Gu Tinglan subconsciously looked at the person beside him. saw that Mu Qingxuan actually began to untie his clothes neatly......

Just when the bad impression of this person in her heart was adding another layer, the other party handed over the robe in her hand: "There is a bulge on the cave wall, fortunately the height is not large, fix the clothes on it to make a barrier temporarily." ”

This person may not be as bad as she thought, so she readily agreed, and the two people who were also soaked covered their robes on the inside of the cave, separating two spaces, Gu Tinglan inside, and Mu Qingxuan outside.

When going out, food and clothing for change are carried with you, maybe women are naturally more careful than men, before entering to change clothes, Gu Tinglan handed Mu Qingxuan a clean and soft cloth towel, which is usually used to wipe his face, although it is not as big as the one used after bathing, but it is enough to simply dry his body.

Mu Qingxuan thanked him, then lowered his eyes and turned his back, he rarely spoke from the beginning, and the first feeling was indifference.

Although it is used to cover the outer robe, it also makes people feel that the cover is limited after being wet by the rain, and they are still a little concerned, although they know that the other party will not do this, but they still can't help but peek out through the unstoppable gap at the edge.

With just one glance, she turned her head, Mu Qingxuan outside was taking off her middle coat, revealing a smooth back, and what really surprised her was that there was a clear scar on the other party's back, from right to left, almost running through the entire back, Mu Qingxuan was only in his early twenties, and that trace had dimmed, and it would take at least two or three years, but I don't know when he was seriously injured.

After a short time, the two of them had already finished changing, and when Gu Tinglan put away the wet clothes hanging on the wall and came out, Mu Qingxuan had already made a fire with the firewood he was carrying, and also built a bamboo shelf on the side, on which a few wet clothes had been built, but they only occupied half of the position, and the clothes were also stacked.

Gu Tinglan smiled, and under Mu Qingxuan's surprised gaze, he took out a wooden basin with a large size, took off several of his clothes and those on the shelf one by one, and carefully scrubbed them in the water in the basin before putting them back on.

"Do me a favor, I can't hold a single one of such a large wooden basin." Looking at the woman's flower-like smile in front of him, Mu Qingxuan also smiled, walked over and picked up the wooden basin, and poured it down at the entrance of the cave. Judging by the rain outside, the basin of water they poured seemed irrelevant.

"You've been looking here for a long time, and now it's getting dark, do you have anything to eat?" Gu Tinglan sat by the fire, supporting her face with one hand, and looked at him with a smile on her face.

Looking at her expression and words, Mu Qingxuan couldn't tell for a while whether she was asking for help or giving herself a problem.

His preparation was indeed not much, two jars of small portions of spirits, and dry food were only a few steamed buns, and they were eaten with cooked sauce beef. It's good to be full, and it's easy to eat.

When he saw him take out the cooked meat wrapped in fresh lotus leaves, Gu Tinglan smiled: "What? A pot of soju and two catties of beef are already a must-use match for you people? ”

Having said that, he still took it, but when he opened the lotus leaf, he said "huh", but saw that the lotus leaf was wrapped in two pieces of cooked chicken, Mu Qingxuan seemed to have expected her to have this reaction: "I want a little more, the store doesn't have enough beef, so I took two pieces of chicken to me, only boiled in white water, light and tasteless, so I left it for the end." ”

Gu Tinglan didn't seem to care, only rolled up her sleeves, didn't know how to take out a pot, put it on the fire, poured water out of the water bladder, and took out a wooden board and put it on the nearby fairly flat stone, a sharp kitchen knife, a few mushrooms that could be picked in the forest, and some porcelain bottles that could be seen to be spices but couldn't recognize what they were.

"It just so happens that the ingredients I brought are almost finished, so I can use your two pieces of chicken to make soup, and I will also go to the cold." As he spoke, he prepared the green onion and ginger and other accessories, and when the water was boiling, the two of them started together and tore the cooked chicken little by little, Mu Qingxuan seemed to have never done such a thing, and he began to look a little clumsy, but it was not too difficult to tear the chicken into thin strips, so he gradually got used to it.

"The disciples of Baicao Garden, will they be so well prepared when they go out?" Watching Gu Tinglan's men shave the mushrooms and grasp the skillful actions of adding condiments to the heat, Mu Qingxuan couldn't help but make a joke.

"That's better than forgetting to return to the mountains, you can't even eat on the spot when you go out, and you talk all day about what to return to the mountains, if you really return to the mountains, where are you going to buy beef spirits?"

"It is the same sect of Dan Dao that belongs to the mountains and fields, and our sect is mainly based on swordsmanship, so we are often sent out to help them find alchemy materials." The gist of it is that those who can't fight hide in the door for alchemy, and those who can do it come out to find some Ganoderma lucidum herbs.

Hearing his self-deprecation, Gu Tinglan couldn't help laughing, the role of the vein he was in in the door was not much different from him, the mushrooms and other ingredients had been boiled in the water until soft, and the chicken that had increased after being shredded was put into the pot, waiting for the water to boil again.

"Do you prefer steamed buns or rice?" Gu Tinglan asked Mu Qingxuan with a smile holding two bowls of white rice that had already been cooked a long time ago.
