Chapter 114: Hospitality
This so-called small world is the earth.
Xia Yan wielded countless swords in the virtual world, but in this place, he swung his sword for the first time.
It was something he had always dreamed of.
When he spent his youth in the virtual world, the income in the wilderness could indeed make him worry about food and clothing in the real world, but that's all.
He had no friends, no family, no friends, no one.
For a long time, every time he took off his virtual helmet, he would be a little stunned, thinking to himself how nice it would be if this was the Flood Wilderness.
It would be nice to be able to swing a sword here.
However, this thought did not last long.
When he took the path of cultivation in the wilderness, defeated the Valkyrie, and was truly invincible, every time he took off his helmet, he would feel a little tired.
This sense of boredom became stronger and stronger, until the Zhuxian Sword was refined, and the big dream awakened.
He wanted to return to reality, but he was unpopular, and he accidentally entered a different time and space.
Practice, his father, Tu Su, more and more friends around him, and the ten days of life by the lake.
The things he longed for seemed to have come true one by one.
Going around and around, a dream that has been forgotten suddenly shines into reality.
On the earth, with the cultivation of the desolation, swing that sword.
It's just that the state of mind at this time is no longer the same as it was at that time.
Xia Yan slashed down with a sword, felt a little distracted, and turned his head away.
Above the lake, there are no waves.
The forest is still there, and the mountains are silent.
Xia Yan lowered his head on the surface of the lake, thinking and walking until he reached the wooden house.
An earthen statue came out of front of the door, slowly transforming into the appearance of Li Juling.
Bei Kunlun seemed to be a little angry: "Xia Yan, we are fighting a duel, can you be serious?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the big sword in his hand turned into powder and flew away with the wind.
Li Juling looked down at his hand holding the sword with a look of disbelief.
"With just those few barren spiritual veins in Yuqing, you can cultivate to the peak of the Refining Realm." Xia Yan asked, "How?" ”
Li Juling was stunned, and accepted the result of this battle, and shook his head: "Of course you can't do it with the Yuqing Spirit Vein alone.
However, my mountain and river diagram can allow me to ignore the mountains and rivers after the innate realm.
The spiritual veins of the entire continent can be used by me. ”
"I see." Xia Yan nodded, "It seems that if I don't go back, you Li Juling will be able to make great achievements in the cultivation world in the future." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Juling frowned.
When the two of them said this, they heard Tu Su shouting in the distance: "Senior Li, why are you here?" ”
Xia Yan and Li Juling turned their heads to look, only to see Tu Su stepping on his double swords and coming from the sky, carrying a bamboo basket in his hand.
Flying closer, Tu Su fell abruptly, handed the bamboo basket in his hand to Xia Yan casually, and said angrily: "How can you let the guests stand outside the house?" ”
Xia Yan smiled: "Didn't we just meet, I'm also cold, Brother Li, come into the house and sit." ”
While speaking, Xia Yan took the bamboo basket and saw that it was a basket of mushrooms still hanging with dew.
"Good stuff." Xia Yan smiled, "Brother Li, you wait in the house, you will be able to eat soon." ”
Li Juling looked depressed: "I'm not here to eat......
Xia Yan ignored him and went to the lake to wash the mushrooms.
Tu Su didn't say anything, and ran to the back of the house to get meat.
The meat is wild boar, a large wild boar of more than 400 catties, which Xia Yan hunted yesterday.
I stewed a piece last night, and it smelled fragrant.
The aroma of the meat is very strong, and at the same time it smells fishy, which is really difficult to swallow.
Xia Yan then remembered that wild boars are not like domestic pigs, domestic pigs are cut, so there is less fishy smell.
Xia Yan then unloaded the wild boar into eight pieces and soaked it in lake water overnight.
Soak the blood first, and the fishy smell will be gone.
At this time, Tu Su ran to the back of the house to see that the meat was already soaked and white.
When I picked it up and smelled it, I could barely smell the smell from last night.
In the past ten days, she and Xia Yan have built a wooden house by the lake and made a bed, and other things are not in a hurry.
So far, the kitchen has not had time to be built, and the stove is freshly built, using adobe bricks burned from lake mud.
Tu Su was busy on the stove, remembering that Xia Yan said two days ago that this batch of adobe bricks was for experiments.
If the effect is good, burn the bricks in this way and build three tiled houses.
At that time, Tu Su heard that the wooden house was only a temporary settlement, and if he could live in a tiled house, he would really live a good life.
But she also had some doubts in her mind.
In recent days, she has often seen iron birds flying in the sky.
She once chased after Edgeworth to investigate, and found that the Iron Bird was hiding a human being.
It seems that there are people in this small world.
Since there are people, the items needed for life can be picked up outside the forest, so why make them yourself?
She just buried these questions in her heart and didn't ask them.
She thinks it's interesting for the two of them to live in isolation like this.
At this time, Xia Yan and Tu Su were busy in front of and behind the house, leaving Li Juling in the house.
Li Juling looked at Xia Yan, who had washed the fungi in front of the house and started fishing, and then looked at Tu Su, who was cutting meat and side dishes at the back of the house, and was stunned for a while.
The giant man touched the back of his head, laughed for a while, and said:
"Xia Yan, that's not how the fish are caught, I'll come."
……
In terms of cooking skills, Xia Yan got the true biography of Chen Wenbing, and Tu Su got the true biography of Xia Yan.
Li Juling lives in the wild all year round, and in terms of food, he is an expert in serving himself.
The three of them worked together to make a banquet, which could be regarded as washing the dust for Li Juling.
Charcoal-grilled wild boar meat and wild mushroom fish soup, in which the fish soup is eaten twice, the fish is eaten first, and then the soup base is shabu-shabu with wild boar meat cut as thin as cicada wings.
The wine was brought by Li Juling himself, and the wine gourd around his waist was full.
There is no wine glass, the three of them are like beating a drum and passing flowers, and the wine gourd is passed around, you take a sip and I will take a sip.
The three of them all took a sip of wine, and Li Juling took the wine gourd handed over by Tu Su, and said with a smile: "How is it, the wine in this small world tastes very special." ”
Tu Su nodded: "It's delicious." ”
Xia Yan was silent.
With this sip of wine, he probably knew where it was.
This is Huadiao wine, the origin of this rice wine is in Jiangnan, China.
No wonder after coming to this forest, Xia Yan felt that the climate was pleasant and comfortable.
One side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, and this is the hometown.
The wine gourd continued to pass between the three of them, and Li Juling seemed to be very interested: "This small world, I have been shopping around in the past few days, and it is really interesting."
This is the same planet as our secular world, but it is much smaller in size.
The people here don't know how to practice, but the utensils they make are very good.
There are iron birds in the sky and iron oxen on the earth, and they can hold people in them.
That speed is only faster than all kinds of mounts in our secular world.
And their place of residence is also heaven and earth.
There are large cities underground, and there are suspended fortresses in the sky......"
Li Juling gushed endlessly, and Tu Su listened with great interest.
Xia Yan listened to those descriptions, but he didn't speak, stunned.
Every time the wine gourd was handed to him, he would unconsciously take a few more sips.
So after three laps, the wine gourd was empty.
Xia Yan came to his senses and said apologetically: "You wait a while, I'll go out to drink." ”
"Are you going to talk like this, and leave me and my brother and sister in the same room?" Li Juling rolled his eyes, "I'll go!" ”
After speaking, the giant man copied the wine gourd and disappeared in place.
After Li Juling left, Tu Su looked at Xia Yan's expression and asked, "Xia Yan, do you have anything on your mind?" ”
Xia Yan smiled: "I'm wondering, should I go out for a walk with you and see this small world." ”
"Okay." Tu Su smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter where you go, it's good that you're around." ”
Xia Yan nodded: "Okay, when Brother Li comes back, after we finish drinking this wine, I will take you out for a walk." ”
"Hmm!"
