237. The Elf of the Deep Winter (The Third Shift - Tanabata Festival Warm Heart Sprinkled Sugar Edition)

"Returning the book?"

Bei Yuzi barely reacted.

And by the time her reflex arc received the information, and the clumsy head was raised by the nerves, the person in front of her was gone.

Some are just ancient books piled up on a hill.

Bei Yuzi ate a trench and grew wise, this time she didn't order a book, but rushed out of the book pavilion directly, shouting: "The book thief is here again!!"

The sound rolled away.

It didn't take long for several powerful figures to arrive in a hurry.

Bei Yuzi told these cadres of the True Martial Pavilion about the situation.

Those cadres glanced at the ancient books on the table, and immediately divided into two ways.

All the way to order the arrest of the thief.

The other way is to stay here and take inventory of books.

The real person looked at the "missing catalog" and flipped through the book.

The more he turned his face, the more weird he became...

Gradually, the oddity turned into solemnity.

Then, the solemnity turned into shock.

Shock turned into horror again.

He flipped through the books faster and faster.

Bei Yuzi breathed a sigh of relief, this time she finally did one thing right, she saw that this real person's expression changed so frequently, and she couldn't help but be curious, and she leaned over to take a look, only to see that all the books had clips attached to them.

Each folder is densely written.

Bei Yuzi said, "Elder, these can't be translations of ancient books, right?"

The real humanitarian: "I don't know if it's a translation, but these words are very precious, and the choice of words and sentences is quite obscure, which is in line with the style of the ancient Taoist scriptures..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of thief can write such a thing." ”

Bei Yuzi said: "Then he is still a very talented thief?"

Humane: "It's not just talent..."

His hand froze and landed on a book that did not look like an ancient scroll.

There is only one line written on the cover of the book: To that little Taoist aunt of the Book Pavilion.

The real person didn't read it, but handed the book over: "This is what the thief gave you." ”

Bei Yuzi took the book and opened it curiously, while muttering, "What could it be?"

The doubt disappeared as she began to read.

She stared intently, then quickly flipped the pages again.

This is an extremely clever method of controlling fire.

The True Martial Pavilion is famous for forging swords, and with such a method of controlling fire, its status will definitely rise...

Both of them were engrossed in their own world, reading books without gasping.

All the way back to those who went after the thieves.

Naturally, they couldn't catch Xia Ji...

At this time, Xia Ji had already left the True Martial Pavilion and returned to the Golden Jade Fang.

He turned into a stream of water and crept into the workshop.

And Jing Chunzi also kept his promise and did not open the mountain sealing array in advance.

Xia Ji did not show up again, but left directly from the underground transfer station of the Jingming Real Courtyard.

...

...

After returning to the mirror lake study.

It's really empty.

Xia Ji looked at the bookshelf, grabbed a copy, and continued to read and study.

Spring goes, summer solstice, autumn comes.

He was used to practicing in such silence.

After nightfall, I went to the robbery and still never let go,

This year, he has already raised the small realm to another level and entered the fifth small realm of the Dharma Body realm.

The opening of an additional law vein increased the strength of his law body by about thirty percent on the original basis.

Winter is here again.

The snow is drifting again.

Xia Ji looked at the bronze mirror, and the white hair became more and more obvious.

Obviously, it had only been thirty-seven years, and he suddenly had a feeling that he was tired of seeing flying snow.

So, after hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of years, how does it feel to look at this winter?

At this point...

The howling cold wind penetrated through the crack in the door of the study, sending out a ghost crying wolf, and the candle flame on the table was blown to the ground.

Xia Ji put down the scroll and stretched out his hand to protect the candle flame that was flickering and flickering,

The lonely shadow was enough, and for a while, my heart was a little empty.

He lived for more than 60 years in his previous life and this life, and he didn't know where this loneliness came from.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly admired Su Tian a little, even Lu Chan, the ancestor of the Wu family, Taishang...

How did these people who have lived for tens of thousands of years survive?

When I was thinking about it,

In the cold winter snow, suddenly the voice of a lark was heard.

Tactfully chirped tinnitus.

It's a bird singing a beautiful song,

It makes people feel as if spring has arrived.

Xia Ji had experienced thirty-seven winters, but he had never heard the call of a lark in the snow.

The door of the study was blown by the wind and moved to the side, revealing the dark world outside the door.

And the sound of larks from far and near...

Xia Ji finally saw the lark.

She carried a lantern and a snow-white robe wrapped in a gold belt, and her furry collar surrounded her delicate face.

The "lark" was standing in front of the door, and when he saw the door open, he suddenly pounced into the study and hummed a few bird calls opposite the Xia Ji coffee table.

The person who came was Lu Miaomiao.

She asked, "Like it?"

Xia Ji's heart inexplicably swelled up with a little warmth, and he smiled: "Like." ”

Lu Miaomiao pulled her throat again, and learned to speak with the bird: "Uncle, the Lu family is checking the progress, I have been with you for a long time." ”

Xia Ji said: "I'm going to be busy this winter. ”

Lu Miaomiao said with a bitter face: "Where you go, where I go." ”

"Why are you so miserable?"

Lu Miaomiao said: "Uncle, you are too serious, I am just suffering, you still ask." Are you alone on this island?"

When she arrived, she had already found that the building was empty.

Xia Ji nodded.

Lu Miaomiao said: "Do you know how to cook?"

Xia Ji nodded again.

Lu Miaomiao said: "Don't cook it, I invite you out to eat good, just so that the Lu family can see the two of us together and make a marriage for them to see." ”

...

...

An hour and a half later.

The two appeared in the city of Giant Cause.

Lu Miaomiao's quirky eyes were wandering around, holding Xia Ji's left arm with her right hand, and walking on the street.

A restaurant appeared in front of the two, the restaurant was seven stories high, the lanterns were hung high, the guests came and went, and the central plaque read the words "Tianzhenfang".

Xia Ji said: "Is this here?"

"No~~ Yes. ”

Lu Miaomiao hurriedly pulled Xia Ji forward and ran away.

Xia Ji said: "I heard that the food in this restaurant is good. ”

Lu Miaomiao: "It's not delicious! Hurry up... Walk over quickly, I can't stand the vulgar smell of oily smoke. ”

The girl shouted as she quickly pulled Xia Ji forward away from the range illuminated by the lantern of "Tianzhenfang", and walked to a somewhat dark place.

Xia Ji tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You won't be without money, right?"

"How~~?" Lu Miaomiao hurriedly said, "Haven't you heard a word? The wonders and wonders of the world are very strange, often in the distance, and the delicious and rare dishes in the city often lie in the remote. ”

Xia Ji shook his head very honestly: "I haven't heard a word about it." ”

Lu Miaomiao showed a look of disdain, and let out a "姅~~~",

Then he said: "Uncle Loss, you are still a scholar, I haven't heard this sentence, hum." ”

Xia Ji couldn't help laughing, and he clearly felt that the girl beside him was still blushing and her heart was not beating even if she heard his laughter, and the curvature of the corners of his lips couldn't help but be more.

The emptiness in my heart before was actually expelled by a few points.

Lu Miaomiao said: "Last time in Wangjiang Tower, I invited you to tea on the top floor, uncle, do you think this girl is a person who is short of money?"

Xia Ji smiled: "Actually, that day... Although you can flip fast and point your fingers quickly, I can see it..."

Lu Miaomiao rolled her eyes and said confidently: "What if you see it?Isn't it thirty times more expensive than the tea outside?I'm still very rich~~ Let's go, it's almost there." ”

Xia Jiqi said, "What do you want me to eat?"

"Secret. Lu Miaomiao squeezed her eyes, "Anyway, it must be something special, special and delicious." ”

Xia Ji was unexpectedly aroused, "Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it." ”

His green silk and white hair were swept by the winter sleet.

Rising behind him, it sets off a bit of a detached temperament.

And the girl holding her arm beside him is also like an elf.

The two of them are still and moving, showing a strange sense of harmony and warmth.

There are fewer lanterns on the streets on winter nights, and the light is getting darker.

The two went from light to darkness.

In the dark corner of the alley, there was a crisp sound of "do-do" suddenly.

It was an unkempt, frozen beggar shaking his hands in a copper bowl with a gap.

The copper staggered up and down in the copper bowl and made a sound.

Lu Miaomiao stopped, pulled out her arm from the crook of Xia Ji's arm, then took out a small purse, counted twenty copper plates in it and threw it out, "Go eat a bowl of noodles." ”

The beggar didn't look at it, and said "thank you, thank you" mechanically.

The two walked by.

Xia Ji said: "He thinks you give less." ”

Lu Miaomiao said: "Nonsense!"

Xia Ji said: "Although his face is dirty, his hair is messy, and his clothes are torn, but it is fake, I can feel that his qi and blood flow is completely healthy, and he is quite strong, he should be a practitioner." ”

Lu Miaomiao suddenly paused.

He turned around and ran over.

Xia Ji hurriedly pulled her: "What are you going to do?"

"I can't be cheated by him for my hard-earned money. ”

Lu Miaomiao broke free from Xia Ji's hand, ran back in a small circle, and quickly circled back.

The beggar was clicked by her, and the bowl was snatched by her...

Lu Miaomiao lost thirty copper plates, blew off the dust, and put them into the small purse with satisfaction.

Xia Ji was speechless and said, "You actually robbed the beggar's money?"

Lu Miaomiao said: "I have also been a beggar." ”

The two talked and walked, talking and laughing, as if they were completely integrated into this ordinary world.

...

...

Not far away, there was a figure in a black robe.

That figure was sent by the Lu family to check the "progress of the marriage".

When I saw Lu Miaomiao robbing the beggar's money in front of the emperor of the Su family, this black-robed figure couldn't bear to look at it directly, with spicy eyes...

However, he also heard the unabashed conversation between the two, and knew that Lu Miaomiao was going to invite the emperor to have a good meal.

The shadow was also full of curiosity, because as far as he knew, there was nothing to eat further down the street.

At least there's nothing expensive anymore.

Soon, he saw the two of them stop in front of a small stall.

There was almost no one in front of the stall, and although the cauldron behind the stall was tightly covered, some steaming soup was still coming out of the cracks.

Behind the cauldron, an old couple was standing.

Lu Miaomiao shouted: "Boss, a large bowl of secret mutton noodle soup, and then a copy of your family's secret pickles." ”

The grandmother of the old couple immediately responded: "Okay." ”

Then he glanced at the two of them again, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid of eating fat, if your husband really loves you, it's just right for you to eat fat." ”

Lu Miaomiao blushed and said, "It's not Xianggong, he..."

The old woman looked at the two curiously.

Lu Miaomiao's eyes turned and said, "He is my brother." ”

The old grandmother showed a "clear" smile, while smiling, she looked at the old man who was cutting mutton next to her, and then whispered: "Old man, cut more for the two of them, anyway, the business is not good." ”

The old man also smiled, as if he remembered the appearance and things of him and this old woman when they were young, and said, "Got it, long-winded." ”

Xia Ji and Lu Miaomiao sat under the shed covering the snow.

Lu Miaomiao leaned over and said, "Let me tell you, the mutton noodle soup here is particularly delicious." ”

Xia Ji stared blankly and said, "Then why did you only order one?"

Lu Miaomiao said: "I eat less, just add a small bowl." ”

Distance...

was silently staring at the black shadows of these two people, and directly covered his face.

No, Lu Miaomiao, you are simply a shame for my Lu family.

Do you dare to say that the special and delicious thing you said is half a bowl of mutton noodle soup?

Soon...

The bottom line of this dark shadow has been ruthlessly challenged again.

The old grandmother brought a big bowl of mutton soup noodles to the table, and divided a small bowl for Lu Miaomiao.

From beginning to end, the old woman looked at the two of them with a smile, and her eyes seemed to have seen through everything.

Lu Miaomiao's face was almost red, she grabbed the chopsticks and started to fork the noodles from the big bowl, and took a large piece of mutton into her bowl by the way.

Xia Ji was speechless and said, "Why did you clip off all the meat?"

Lu Miaomiao looked at it, and then evened out another piece and went back: "It's fair now, right? I didn't clip off all the meat." ”

Boom!!

There was a strange sound in the distance, as if something had fallen.

The black shadow couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but convulsions and fell to the ground.

Xia Ji asked, "What sound?"

Lu Miaomiao said: "Drunkard, right?Eat noodles, starve to death~ Boss, come up quickly." ”

She grabbed the bowl and took a contented sip of the hot soup.

Xia Ji also ate it.

There was a non-stop voice from Lu Miaomiao on the table.

"Add some pepper. ”

"Wow~ This pickle is so delicious. ”

"The lamb tastes really authentic. ”

Xia Ji had never eaten such a dinner.

In the past, I used to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but now it is delicious with one mouth...

But for some reason, he ate quite warmly.

Because, although the winter snow is cold, although it is dead rain,

For, though the heavens and the earth are great, they are so big that they are empty and lonely,

Because, although the time is long, it is so long that it is divided and combined, and the people around you will eventually leave.

But at this moment, having such an elf by his side is enough to give this simple meal the most delicious name.

"Ha~~"

Lu Miaomiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

And the noodles on the table, Wowotou has been swept away by the two of them.

"I'm not lying, right?"

Lu Miaomiao sent out a soul torture.

The black shadow watching from afar secretly complained in his heart, it's delicious, it's a ghost, it's rude and rude for you to invite the emperor to eat such a thing, so if the emperor thinks it's delicious, there will be a problem.

But soon, the black shadow heard Xia Ji's laughing voice.

"Delicious. ”

The two words were passed, and the black shadow was suddenly petrified, and the frozen ice sculpture stood in the wind and snow and stopped moving.

At this moment, he has completed the assessment.

Marriage is excellent and excellent.
