Chapter 8: Familiar at First Sight
Lu Ying immediately withdrew his gaze from Wanyue's pair of white and flawless wings, bowed his head slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "Lu Ying is rude, please forgive me." ”
Wan Yue smiled and said, "Where is the rudeness? Who can do this wing without being strange? Even in my hometown, this wing is extremely rare." Elders who have been old for many years, when they see my wings, they have to take a closer look!"
What Wanyue said earlier is indeed true, and wings are also rare in the fairy world. Most of the immortals are only flying through the clouds, and only immortals such as the Bird Clan have wings.
However, in what Wan Yue later said about "the old elders carefully looked at her wings", the old fairy was not out of curiosity. It's because, when Wanyue was 200 years old, the fetal feathers on her wings still lingered for a long time, and her wings were not abundant and she couldn't fly, so Mrs. Miaolian often invited the old fairy to Qingliangtai to guide Wanyue to fly. Wan Yue said this kind of kind of white little lie to comfort the teenager and resolve the embarrassment, which is also weird and cute.
Before Lu Ying could respond, Wan Yue smiled again and said, "You just looked at my wings, but are you curious, do you have anything to ask?"
Lu Ying was a little curious, but he felt that he shouldn't get to the bottom of it anyway, so he responded: "I'm not curious." ”
After hearing this, Wanyue felt a little inexplicably unwilling in her heart, and when she played together, she had an idea, and used the immortal method to turn herself into an ugly and terrifying toad, wanting to scare Lu Ying.
Seeing this, Lu Ying was not only calm, but also smiled: "The girl's dress is very special, that is... Well, it's just that this toad face and the wings behind him don't quite match. ”
Lu Ying rarely laughs on weekdays, and there is no one to laugh at. When I met my peers today, I naturally released the naughty nature of children.
Wan Yue wondered in her heart, how could this young man be so bold and not afraid at all?
She changed again, this time into a very hideous-looking old demon of Montenegro.
Wan Yuexin said, this time you have to be scared!
Who knew that Lu Ying smiled again and said: "This is good! This black cloak covers the white wings, and it is more majestic than the previous one! This is the true face of the girl? I didn't expect you to be such a majestic heroine among women!"
When Wan Yue heard this, she was so amused that she squatted down, crossed her hands on her waist, and giggled.
Lu Ying looked at her and said with a smile: "The girl loves to laugh so much, but how can it be good? I see that no matter how majestic you dress up, I am afraid that you will not be able to bluff people!"
Wan Yue thought about it, she, the old demon of Montenegro with a fierce face, actually held her stomach and laughed, it was indeed not terrible at all, and it was very funny. I felt that I had enough trouble, so I turned back into a human body.
Wan Yue said with a smile: "You have seen the toad spirit, you have seen the old demon of Montenegro, you are not afraid, even if you are not afraid, how can you still enjoy the jokes and amusement in it?
Lu Ying said: "It's just because I know that 'people can't look good'." I am not related to the girl, and the girl was willing to help me study yesterday, which shows that the girl's heart is extremely kind. Therefore, even if the girl was really born as ugly and vicious as the old demon of Montenegro, it would not make Lu Ying feel terrible. For me, the hideous appearance is not terrible. The real scary ones are, in fact, those who are out-of-the-box and ruined. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ying stopped, his expression serious and lonely.
Wan Yue knew that the young man remembered his heart knot, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "It's already noon, so I'm hungry." Are you iron-clad to look neither sleepy nor hungry!"
Lu Ying smiled: "I'm really a little hungry, why don't you go to my humble house, Lu Ying cooks to thank you for the grace of yesterday's bright light?"
Wan Yue smiled and said, "Eating is excellent. But I don't know how long you want to remember this little light?"
Lu Ying smiled slightly.
Then, talking and laughing, the two returned to the hut.
Lu Ying said: "Girl, you rest first, I'll cook." ”
I saw that Lu Ying was going to boil thin rice soup again.
Wan Yue chuckled and said, "Is it all thin rice soup? It's been a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to become a monk!"
Lu Ying said with a smile: "There are a lot of wild animals on this mountain. It's just that I often have to read the books every day until dawn to finish them. I really don't have the time and energy to go to the mountains to catch wild animals. This meal is really simple, and I invite the girl Haihan. ”
Wan Yue said in her heart, I already knew that this young man took the matter of revenge on reading very seriously, but I didn't expect it to be so important. Looking at him like this, when the time comes, I am afraid that he will risk his life to take revenge.
Wan Yue felt a little more sympathy and admiration for the boy in her heart, but she didn't want to embarrass the boy by taking such sympathetic emotions on the surface.
So, she giggled again and said, "What is Haihan again! It just so happens that I haven't hunted a small animal for a long time." Why don't you go to the study to read or take a break, and I'll make today's lunch?"
Lu Ying said solemnly: "How can this be done, even if you don't mention the matter of repaying the favor, the girl comes to my humble room as a guest, and I should be the one who cooks, how can I let the girl cook herself? Besides, there are tigers and leopards on the mountain, and there are many wild beasts, how can the girl go up the mountain alone?"
Wan Yue smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? You have forgotten, I have even become an old demon in the Black Mountain, how can I be afraid of tigers? You can rest so much, I will come when I go." ”
After that, without waiting for Lu Ying to respond, he disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ying shook his head with a smile, walked into the study and took the book, stood under the eaves, and waited for Wanyue while reading.
Wanyue is an immortal, and catching goats and hares on the mountain is naturally as easy for her as a walk.
It's just that Wanyue has loved small animals since she was a child, and although she often plays with small animals, she has never killed them. If it weren't for the young man's eyes today, he would naturally not have come to the mountains to catch wild animals for him to eat.
Wanyue was on the mountain, and it seemed that she couldn't bear to kill any small animal. In desperation, she thought of a way, she carefully observed each goat and hare, and then picked out two wild animals that were already destined to go down the mountain.
If Wanyue wasn't so picky, maybe she could return to the hut in just half a stick of incense. However, even so, Wan Yue didn't have enough time to stick incense when she came and went.
Lu Ying saw Wanyue with a hare in one hand and a goat in the other, appearing on the grass in front of the house, and hurriedly put down the book to welcome Wanyue.
Lu Ying took the sheep and rabbit in Wanyue's hand and said with a smile: "The girl seems to be weak, but who knows that her strength is comparable to that of an eight-foot strong man." If the girl is really a man, she must be more majestic than the old demon of Montenegro!"
The two laughed and returned to the hut.
The two of them carried the sheep and rabbit into the kitchen, and Wanyue blasted Lu Ying out of the kitchen and let Lu Ying rest.
Lu Ying thinks that it is really inappropriate to let Wanyue do the rude thing of killing rabbits and sheep and letting Wanyue do it. He insisted on staying in the kitchen.
Wan Yue knew that Lu Ying would do this, so she used the immortal method to set up a small realm at the kitchen door.
Lu Ying is a mortal, so he naturally can't resist the small world, so he has no choice but to take the book and wait for Wanyue outside the kitchen door.
Killing rabbits and slaughtering sheep, Wanyue really hates it. However, the use of the immortal method is also clean and neat, and there is not a trace of wild animal stains and residual blood in the kitchen.
Although Wanyue only likes to drink elixir and jade dew, she eats sweets. But Wanyue has often gone to the dining room since she was a child, looking for the uncle who cooks to tell stories to listen to, and naturally she knows some delicious methods in the world.
Wan Yue first wrapped the mutton piece by piece with lotus leaves, and then stewed the mutton with agar wine. Then, with the oil from the lamb overflowing, accompanied by the Chaotian pepper that had just been picked on the mountain, the hare was fried. After stir-frying, the two kinds of wild vegetables picked in the mountains, one with Chaotian pepper, and the other with wine juice to cool down. Then, the lotus leaves picked in the lotus pond on the mountain are cut into small pieces, the lotus seeds are peeled, and the osmanthus petals picked by the laurel forest after going down the mountain are taken out. Finally, the lotus leaves, lotus seeds, and osmanthus were put into the pot together, and the white rice, spring water, and some jade dew were poured into the pot, and simmered into rice soup.
This series of processes seems complicated, but in fact, Wanyue used the immortal method, which was done in three times and two times, and it took a very short time.
Wan Yue happily brought the two meats, two vegetables and one soup out of the kitchen. Lu Ying watched Wanyue approaching at the kitchen door, hurriedly took it and put it on the dining table in the main hall.
Lu Ying was surprised and delighted, he really couldn't imagine that the little girl in front of him, who didn't seem to eat fireworks, could make such a fragrant dish in such a short time.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Wan Yue smiled and asked Lu Ying to taste it.
Lu Ying tasted each of the four dishes and one soup first.
I first tasted the lamb wrapped in lotus leaves stewed in agar wine. The mutton is delicious, and the taste is rich because it is mixed with agar wine, and the lotus leaves make the mutton fat but not greasy, and the taste is perfect.
Next, stir-fried hare with lamb fat and peppers. This dish is a little spicy, but not too spicy, and the Chaotian pepper is not too much, not too much, not too much, just right.
I tasted two more wild vegetables, the spicy fried is chewy, the cool tone is crisp, and each has its own good.
Finally, I took a bite of Gyokuro lotus cinnamon boiled rice soup. This soup defeated the oil of the previous four dishes, whether it was spicy or spicy, leaving only the refreshing and delicious soup in the mouth.
After Lu Ying tasted it, he couldn't help but admire and thank the girl in front of him even more.
Although Wanyue made these dishes, she didn't like to eat them very much, and was only willing to drink some Yulu lotus cinnamon boiled rice soup.
Two young people chatting while eating.
Lu Ying said: "I have known the girl for a day and a half, and I have also been favored by the girl for a day and a half, I don't know the girl's name?"
After Wanyue told Lu Ying her name, she said, "Although I know that your name is Lu Ying, I don't know how old you are this year?"
Lu Ying said: "Sixteen this year. It's sixteen, and I don't know when I can go to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination. Alas, not to mention this. I don't know if you're expensive this year, girl?"
When Wanyue heard Lu Ying say that she was sixteen years old, she regretted her question. She had forgotten that mortals and immortals had a huge difference in lifespan.
Hearing Lu Ying ask himself, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Four hundred and one years old." ”
Lu Ying listened, but was not as surprised as Wanyue imagined. He just smiled calmly: "Four hundred and one years old." Life is really interesting, and I really can't help myself. The girl has been more knowledgeable than me for 400 years, and when I see her today, I feel that I have seen her at first sight. ”
When Wanyue heard this, she was stunned, and thought to herself, how could she not feel like she was familiar at first sight. She and the young man had only spent more than a day together in the mortal world, but they felt unusually cordial, and they felt that they had known each other for hundreds of years.
