Deep in the woods.

“…… That's it, Senior Sister Liang Siyan and I are sitting in the wind gusting spirit boat......"

Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin sat around the bonfire and chatted. Although we have only met for a few days, the relationship between people is so wonderful. After these two days of thrilling experiences, the relationship between the two has become significantly closer.

This time they went to Beiyang City, and the two had discussed with Zhao Yuanwai before, first to visit the old lady's condition, whether it could be cured or not, the Zhao family would send a merchant ship to take the two down the nearby river to the Bailong River Valley.

Chen Muzhi's spiritual power has also recovered a little, and there is nothing to worry about for the time being, and the two of them are obviously relaxed. Chen Muzhi suggested that Liang Wenxin go out in the future and bring a white veil or hat, which will cause trouble if he looks good. provoked Liang Wenxin to grab his ears and pretend to be disgusted.

The two of them laughed and talked to Yan Yan, and Liang Wenxin mentioned the matters to be paid attention to in practice. At this time, the kettle placed on the wooden stake boiled, Chen Muzhi opened the lid of the kettle, put in a few fiery red fruits, and suddenly a fragrance permeated, "This is Hexia, picked last year." As he spoke, he took out two teacups.

The flickering firelight flickered, shining on Liang Wenxin's beautiful face. Liang Wenxin propped up his upper body with both hands, looked up at the bright moon, and sang softly: "Sleep freely in the mountains, sleep in a dream, rest your head on the bright moon and the breeze, and be covered with stars and ......."

"Goo~"

Suddenly, the sound of a stomach screaming came, which abruptly interrupted Liang Wenxin's soft and tactful singing, and Liang Wenxin and Chen Muyi looked back at the carriage together.

Unable to hide it, Zhao Ruyi squirmed a few times in the blanket, and finally sat up from the carriage, a pair of eyes shining in the dark night, embarrassed to dodge, and her pretty cheeks were flushed.

At this time, in the Shili Pavilion outside Beiyang City, Zhao Yuanwai's carriage stopped outside the post station, and it was about to fall apart due to the bumps along the way, and on the back plate behind the carriage, an arrow feather was shot.

The post station was already lit up, and Zhao Yuanwai was pacing back and forth impatiently in the hall, and the head of the family didn't dare to raise his head when he knelt under the hall.

"Report! Big man! ”

There was a rush of horses' hooves, and a family member rushed into the post station and turned over and dismounted, and hurried in to report.

"Speak!"

"The second master invited Master Ma from the City Patrol Division, and brought five hundred soldiers and the family in the house, and he will arrive immediately!"

"Good...... Master Ma? Forget it, I can't care so much! Into the mountains! Zhao Yuanwai straightened his neckline and hurriedly walked out. Passing by the leader of the family, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and said viciously: "You go with me!" If only Ruyi was missing a hair! I skinned you! ”

After a while, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and hundreds of horsemen rushed back along the road where Zhao Yuan had come out, startling the entire Jackdaw Night Stalker.

"Goo~"

The cry of an owl caused Zhao Ruyi to turn his head around and look around.

"Miss Zhao, there are no teacups, you can use this." Chen Muzhi used the glass cup he bought in Muji City, poured a cup of Hexia tea, and handed it to Zhao Ruyi, who was draped in a blanket.

After Zhao Ruyi took it, he saw the aroma of rose-red tea coming to his face in the crystal clear cup, and he said in surprise: "What a beautiful cup!" Is this what the immortals are for? This tea is so fragrant! ”

"I usually use ordinary cups, which are also good-looking to buy." Chen Muzhi.

Liang Wenxin held the tea cup lightly in his hand, using an ordinary secret color porcelain bowl, and smiled sideways at Zhao Ruyi: "You drink and see, this is Muzhicai's Hexia tea, which can replenish blood, invigorate blood, promote wound healing, and can also relieve fatigue and warm the spleen and stomach. ”

Zhao Ruyi only remembered at this time, and suddenly reached out and touched her face, the woman loves beauty, her eyes were wide open, and she asked Liang Wenxin with a worried face: "Sister Liang, how are you looking at the injury on my face?" ”

Liang Wenxin leaned in, stared at Zhao Ruyi's cheeks with a pair of beautiful eyes, frowned slightly, shook his head while watching, Zhao Ruyi, who was looking directly, was full of anxiety, with tears in the corners of his eyes, before he spoke: "There is no mark, it is still the original beautiful face, haha." ”

Zhao Ruyi exhaled a long breath and stroked his chest with one hand, "I'm scared to death!" Sister Liang, you scare people! Did Sister Liang cure me? Could it be an elixir? Spell? ”

"It's not me, it's Muzhi." Liang Wenxin took a sip of tea, and his eyes raised towards Chen Muzhi's side, "I use a spirit rune, the effect is faster, for mortals, the effect of the pill is too strong." ”

Zhao Ruyi picked up the glass cup and took a sip, the warm tea had a slight sweetness, and it spread out before he could get down, and a warm current suddenly surged all over his body, and the whole person almost made a sound with comfort, and hurriedly drank a second sip.

But the mouth didn't make a sound, and the sound of the stomach couldn't be stopped. The tea was under the stomach, and the whole body was warm, but he wanted to eat something more, and there was another sound of hunger, and Zhao Ruyi, who was ashamed, was flushed.

"Master, I'll go to the stream first." Chen Muzhi got up and said to Liang Wenxin.

"Well, go ahead, be careful." Liang Wenxin smiled and nodded at Chen Muzhi, looking at the figure he walked towards the road he came from just now, and unconsciously smiled even more.

"What's wrong with Sister Liang?" Zhao Ruyi asked suspiciously.

"Nothing. By the way, Sister Ruyi, how old are you this year? ”

"This year has just passed."

"Fifteen, three years older than our family."

After a while, Chen Muzhi came back from the woods, carrying a large string of bamboo skewers in his hand, it turned out that he had just gone to the stream, skewered the rabbit meat, returned to the torch, took out all kinds of salt and spices from the storage bag and pickled them.

Zhao Ruyi stared at him intently, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Is this ...... What? ”

Chen Muzhi raised his head and pointed behind him, "Rabbit, hit the tree and died." ”

"How can there be such a stupid rabbit...... I mean, do immortals also cook and eat? ”

Chen Muzhi finally took out a small bottle from the bag, smelled it, poured out some golden sauce and smeared it on the meat, and said, "Those who have just practiced also need to eat, but my master doesn't need it." ”

"I'm going to eat it too!" Liang Wenxin, who was drinking tea on the side, immediately protested, pulled Zhao Ruyi over and said, "Mu Zhi's cooking skills are amazing, let's just wait." ”

Chen Muzhi smiled, put the meat skewers on the fire and roasted them, and flipped them intently. With the scorching flame, after a while, the rabbit meat gradually turns golden brown, and the roasted meat juice "sizzles", and the fragrance of spices and sauces overflows.

Zhao Ruyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, the refreshing fragrance penetrated into his heart, making people feel as if the whole person was attracted by the fragrance, and couldn't help but swallow saliva. But seeing Chen Muzhi's focused, under the reflection of the flames, he was so solemn and serious, and the appearance of the barbecue was a little different from the immortal he imagined in his heart, but ...... Somewhat fascinating indeed.

"Miss Zhao, this is for you." Chen Muzhi handed the freshly grilled meat skewers to Zhao Ruyi.

"Ahh Zhao Ruyi was staring at Chen Muzhi just now, and he didn't react yet.

"Huh?"

"Ahhh Zhao Ruyi hurriedly took the meat skewers, only to feel a fever on his face, and turned around embarrassedly, but was immediately attracted by the aroma of the meat skewers.

I saw that the meat skewers were golden and buttery in color, and the aroma was tangy, and the gluttonous worms in the stomach were attracted to the index finger and were about to bite down.

"It's still a little hot, blow it and eat it." Chen Muzhi said.

Zhao Ruyi's original face turned even redder, and he carefully lifted the meat skewer and blew lightly a few breaths, and bit it down. The charred barbecue is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sauce on the surface is slightly spicy and fragrant, the outside is crispy, the meat is delicate on the inside, and the full aroma of the meat spreads in the mouth, it is simply the best meat I have ever tasted.

Zhao Ruyi was so satisfied that he almost made a sound, holding his face in one hand, he was almost immersed in it.

Chen Muzhi asked, "Miss Zhao, what do you think?" When is the taste still there? ”

Zhao Ruyi hurriedly swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, turned around and said, "Enter the ...... Melt-in-your-mouth. It's just that the words are a little stumbling, and he quickly added, "It's the best thing I've ever eaten!" ”

Chen Muzhi smiled and said, "It's good if you like it." ”

Liang Wenxin shouted beside him: "Muzhi, I want another string!" It turned out that in just a moment, Liang Wenxin had already eaten a bunch.

"Master, you're eating too fast."

"Hehe, who called me an immortal." Liang Wenxin looked up at the moon proudly and said.

"Master, monks are not afraid of burns, and they are not like you!"

"Here comes the meat!"

Zhao Ruyi looked at his master and apprentice bickering, couldn't help giggling, lowered his head and continued to bite into the rabbit meat, and said softly: "Well, it's really delicious." ”

After a while, the pile of meat skewers was eaten by the three of them, and Liang Wenxin was actually greedy at the beginning, and most of the meat was still reserved for Chen Muzhi and Zhao Ruyi to eat.

After Zhao Ruyi finished eating, he only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and after drinking a cup of Hexia tea, he only felt warm all over his body. When the bright moon is in the sky, in the cold woods of March spring, unprecedented satisfaction, the whole person relaxes, only feels a little sleepy.

Chen Muzhi found an open space next to the carriage and took out a huge tent from the storage bag, and took out such a big thing from the small bag, which made Zhao Ruyi exclaim.

Chen Muzhi handed the folded white robe to Liang Wenxin and said, "Master, I have used the cleaning charm for your robe, Miss Zhao's clothes are broken, you can change it for her, I will keep vigil outside." ”

"The great night has just begun, right?" Liang Wenxin wondered.

"Master, ordinary people should go to bed right now." Chen Muzhi glanced at Zhao Ruyi.

Liang Wenxin pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Okay, sister Ruyi come here." ”

"Thank you for the tea and barbecue, both delicious."

Zhao Ruyi also heard his words just now, and returned the glass cup to Chen Muzhi. looked at this handsome young man who was half a head shorter than her, and only felt that he was different from all the men around him, gentle and careful, but at this moment, he couldn't see that the bloody storm not long ago was caused by him.

"I want to ask."

"Huh? Miss Zhao, please speak. ”

"You're so young, aren't you scared when you kill those bad guys in the afternoon?" Zhao Ruyi deliberately bit the word "bad guy" very hard.

Chen Muzhi thought for a while, "It's not that I don't feel bad about killing, when I went into the mountains with my father to collect medicine before, I encountered wolves, and my father said that don't be kind to the beasts that attack you." In fact, in the afternoon, I just imagined the bad guys wielding knives and guns as beasts with teeth and claws, and they had to get rid of the danger in order to protect themselves and their loved ones. ”

Zhao Ruyi stared at his eyes for a while, nodded solemnly, went into the tent with Liang Wenxin, and looked back at Chen Muzhi who was sitting back next to the torch, "It's quite handsome." She said to herself.
