25 Determination
Xiaoxi left Xiaohua's house and slowly walked towards the river.
She didn't want to go back and let Changfeng see that she had cried, so she squatted by the river to wash away the tears on her face. I found a rock and sat down, calming my mood.
It was noon, and the stream had not yet returned.
Changfeng went to Xiaohua's house and was told that Xiaoxi had been walking for a while.
Walking out of the cliff of Xiaohuajia, the long wind followed the breath left by the creek and found the big river. Seeing the slightly lonely back sitting by the river, Changfeng hurriedly stepped forward and gently hugged the stream from behind, "Why do you sit here and don't go home?" ”
"Changfeng, Xiaohua, they're leaving."
Xiaoxi said in a hoarse voice, and when she heard the voice, Changfeng knew that she had cried.
"Why, I can't give up Xiaohua."
Xiaoxi, didn't answer, but Changfeng knew he had guessed right.
"Xiaohua said that she would go to her father and mother first, and then she would go to the holy mountain with them in advance to spend the snow season."
Changfeng asked puzzledly: "What's so sad about this, they will come back here next year, you can still meet?" ”
Xiaoxi looked at Changfeng with a face as if to say what is so sad about this, you will meet again next year, why should you be sad.
"You don't understand"
After saying this, Xiaoxi snuggled in Changfeng's arms and didn't speak again.
The scorching sun in the sky kept feeding the heat, and the cool breeze blew on the water, perhaps because of the tiredness of crying, the stream fell asleep.
Changfeng looked at the sleeping stream leaning on his arms, and the tenderness hidden in his light blue eyes was about to overflow.
Although it was hot, Xiaoxi's body was not strong, and Changfeng was afraid that her body would not be able to stand it if she blew by the river for a long time, so she hugged Xiaoxi back, and jumped on the cliff platform after a few jumps to the edge of the cliff.
Maybe he was tired from crying before, and Changfeng didn't make much movement.
When he put the brook on the straw mat covered with animal skins, no one woke up.
Xiaoxi slept until mid-afternoon, and when she got up, Changfeng was ready to barbecue under the cliff, and Xiaoxi stopped in time.
"Didn't you promise to fry meat for you yesterday? It just so happens that I have time today. ”
Changfeng looked up and saw that the creek had recovered, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, you wait, I'll take these."
Changfeng took the prey in his hand a few times and jumped onto the platform.
"You put the prey on the stone platform first, I'll do more today and send some to Xiaohua later, she is pregnant with a cub now, I don't know if her appetite is good."
There are also no spices here, and you can marinate animal meat. However, when the creek went to pick red fruits, some plants similar to peppercorns and cumin were found in the mountains, but they were not exactly the same.
When he first picked it up, Xiaoxi didn't dare to eat it for fear of being poisonous, so he asked Changfeng to catch a sharp-billed beast and come back, and Xiaoxi forcibly fed it to eat, and after a day or two, the sharp-mouthed beast did not react, and it was still alive.
Because there are not many picks back, the creek has never been willing to use it.
Xiaohua will be gone in a few days, and Xiaoxi wants to make something delicious for her.
The brook also cut the meat of the beast with a stone knife, a two-centimetre-thick piece of meat.
Place it in a hot stone pan just like you would fry a steak now, and when it is golden brown on both sides, then sprinkle some powder like peppercorns and cumin on top.
Xiaoxi put the fried meat in a bamboo basin, which is made of 50 centimeters thick cylindrical bamboo, and it was rare to see such a thick bamboo stream for a long time.
Xiaoxi filled a pot full of fried meat and called Changfeng over, "You give these fried meats to Xiaohua's family first, and when you come back, we can also eat them." ”
The brook was afraid of dust falling on it, so he covered it with a clean hide.
Changfeng took the bamboo pot and sent it to Xiaohua's house as quickly as possible. Because the brook was asleep, he did not eat at noon, and now he smelled the smell of fried meat, and his stomach became even hungrier.
Xiaoxi made a bird's egg and wild vegetable soup on the oil pot, the bird's egg was still found by Changfeng last time, Xiaoxi has not been willing to eat, just done, Changfeng will come back.
"Why is it so fast?"
"I sent it to Xiaohua's house to see if there was nothing wrong, and I came back."
In fact, Changfeng was hungry, so he sent the things to Xiaohua's family and said hello, and then rushed back.
Xiaoxi asked casually.
"Bring that pot of fried meat, and we'll have dinner too."
Xiaoxi also carried a bamboo pot of bird's eggs and wild vegetable soup on the stone table, and held two wooden spoons in his hands, these two wooden spoons were still because Xiaoxi drank fish soup last time, there were no spoons at home, and Changfeng made them for her with wood.
When Xiaoxi served soup to the two of them, Changfeng couldn't help but eat two pieces of fried meat, and he looked really hungry.
A piece of fried meat, the full stream, slowly drank the wild vegetable soup, accompanied by the long wind who was reluctant to put down the fried meat in his hand.
"Xiaoxi, the fried meat you made is still so fragrant, you have to keep making it for me in the future."
"Okay, as long as you want to eat, I'll make it for you later."
Changfeng heard Xiaoxi's reply, stopped eating meat, and stared at her intently with a pair of light blue eyes, slowly flickering with a hazy mist in his eyes.
Changfeng asked in a trembling voice, "Xiaoxi, are you telling the truth?" You are really willing to make fried meat for me for the rest of your life.
I am so happy that my heart has never been so hot since I was kicked out of the house by my family. ”
Changfeng walked to Xiaoxi and knelt on one knee, his eyes were firm, he took her hand and said, "Xiaoxi, I love you, I am willing to spend my life taking care of you, protecting you, and I will live up to you for the rest of my life." ”
Xiaoxi's eyes flashed with tears and she smiled and said, "I believe in you." ”
"Xiaoxi, let's get married."
"Well, Xiaoxi is not an indecisive person, and besides, she really likes this, the silver wolf beast male orc who is careful and considerate to herself.
Tomorrow we will decorate this place beautifully, make a lot of delicious food, and then ask Xiaohua's family to witness our couple. ”
Changfeng listened to Xiaoxi's words, and landed a * kiss on her lips with affection......
"Okay, everything is up to you."
After the two confessed, the fried meat and wild vegetable soup on the stone table were already cold.
"Do you still eat it? Do you want me to go and heat the meat again? ”
Changfeng shook his head, I have already eaten enough, but the fried meat you made is so fragrant that I can't stop eating.
After eating, Xiaoxi wanted to clean up, and was pressed by Changfeng on the stone bench and sit, "I'll do these things later, I have nowhere to use my strength, just sit on the side and watch me do it." ”
After cleaning up, the moon has hung on the treetops. The two of them snuggled up to the cliff platform against the long wind, admiring the moon in the sky.
Neither of them spoke, feeling each other's heartbeats.
