Chapter Twenty-Seven: Everyday Food
The east lit up with the white belly of the fish, the city in the mountains was still dark, and the clansmen who had been happy all night had already rested, and it was difficult to hear the slightest sound inside and outside.
Click~
Before the rooster crowed, a slight footstep appeared on the mountain road outside the walled city.
Xuanji Zhenren, dressed in a white robe and wearing a hat, first came to a high place and glanced at the walled city, and then passed the curfew and came to the walled city.
Leaving from Yazhou, Xuanji Zhenren went directly out of the customs, looking for traces of the Night Terror Hall, and before he arrived at Tianlang Lake, he heard the news of the death of King Zuoxian.
Killed King Zuoxian, since the Night Terror Hall did not return to the Guannai immediately, it must be hiding somewhere, the entire Xihai Tribes, except for the Winter Hades Department, Xuanji Zhenren couldn't think of any other places, so he directly transferred to the Winter Hades Mountain.
The last time I came over, it was Lao Zhuzong who was in charge of Winter Styx Mountain, and now that the king has been replaced by He He, there is still a sense of being a person.
Xuanji Zhenren walked leisurely in the village like going back to his own home, but after a while, he came to the high place outside the 'palace', and when he raised his eyes, he saw the bored birds, walking back and forth on the platform, cooing softly, should be muttering-startled but turned back, there is hatred but no birds. Pick up all the cold branches and refuse to live, and the lonely sandbar is cold......
Xuanji Zhenren raised her eyebrows, quietly walked behind her back, and then took small steps, trying to scare the birds.
But as a sentry, the vigilance of the bird is amazing, and the distance is still several feet, and the bird turns his head one hundred and eighty degrees on the spot, and his eyes light up: "Huh? Then he turned around.
"Shh~"
Xuanji Zhenren raised his hand to indicate that he should not be impatient, took some dried meat used as dry food and fed it to the birds, and quietly ran into the patriarch's residence.
Because Fan Qinghe had not yet married a family, and there were no outsiders in the patriarch's residence, Xuanji Zhenren walked into it and only heard a sound of even breathing.
She followed the sound to the wing room of the courtyard, pushed the door and entered, but saw the person who was lying on the pillow and sleeping soundly, and there was no trace of night terrors next to him.
Seeing this, Xuanji Zhenren couldn't help but be puzzled, came closer, raised his hand and pinched it on Liren's face:
"Leave?"
"Hmmm......"
Dongfang Zhengxiang, who was sleeping away from others, was suddenly woken up, frowned slightly, and came back from the night terror hall to rub the bed, and subconsciously rolled half a circle to get out of the way.
But he reacted immediately, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the white-clothed beauty sitting in front of him:
"Master? What are you doing here? ”
In front of the apprentices, Xuanji Zhenren still has a very dignified teacher's posture, and with a smile on his face, he helped Dongfang Liren cover the thin quilt:
"The Holy One is concerned about your safety, let me come and have a look. What about the Night Terrors? What happened to the injury? ”
Dongfang Liren arranged Aunt Fan's vigil, and was originally curious whether Aunt Fan would fulfill her obligations, but the two went out to admire the moon and didn't come back, she fell asleep unconsciously, and she didn't know the current situation, so she said:
"I went out to admire the moon last night, haven't you come back yet?"
"Moon ......"
When Xuanji Zhenren came to the Winter Styx Mountain, he wandered around the medicine storehouse, and accidentally walked to the platform behind the mountain, only to be discovered by the tea-drinking Lao Zhuzong, who obviously knew where the moonlight was best in the Winter Styx Mountain.
Seeing that the person left to say this, Xuanji Zhenren was also curious about what the two of them were doing, and immediately got up and said:
"I'll go out and see, and you can sleep a little longer."
Dongfang Liren actually wanted to follow and take a look, but her three-legged cat kung fu, I am afraid that she will be discovered by Aunt Fan half a mile away, and she can't see anything, so she thinks about it and says:
"Night Terror Hall has eaten Tianlang Pearl, and his body is not quite right, and he needs to be reconciled with yin and yang. I asked Miss Fan to take good care of her, and Shi Zunling went to help see if she complied. ”
?
When Xuanji Zhenren heard this, his eyes were a little speechless, and he sat down again and looked at the apprentice who was serious:
"Night Terror Hall has a physical problem, why don't you help him? Can this kind of thing be handed over to outsiders? ”
Although Dongfang Liren had already rolled the sheets, in front of the master, where was he embarrassed to admit it, and pretended to be calm:
"I haven't come out of the cabinet yet, how can I ...... Moreover, Miss Fan is not an outsider, and she will be a family in the future. ”
"What if Qinghe is not happy? Physical safety is a big deal, if you both don't want to, who will help the Night Terror Hall? ”
Dongfang Liren said to this: "If Miss Fan really can't let go, I will naturally help, how can I let the night terror hall stay up." Master, let's help take a look first. ”
Xuanji Zhenren shook his head secretly, got up and said:
"Got it, I'll go check it out first."
……
———
The medicine depot is located in the back mountain of Dazhai, through the excavation of natural caves through the mountain, extending to the side of the mountain.
After coming out of the room, he easily bypassed the residential area of the clan elder, and when he arrived outside the big warehouse, he looked at it a little and said:
"Why are there so many iron gates, who can be prevented from ......?"
After that, she came to the door and saw that the iron lock had been removed, so she knew that Qinghe must be inside, so she quietly opened the door and walked in silently.
The last time Xuanji Zhenren came over, it was to turn over the dragon map, and he didn't steal any precious medicinal materials, but he was familiar with the route. After walking through several partitions, he saw the iron fence where the Gu worms were stored, and stopped to take a look, and then came to the platform in the middle of the cave.
Because the big warehouse is inside the Winter Styx Mountain, there is still a need for ventilation, and when she came over last time, she didn't have a gate, and the inside and outside were open.
And now, for some reason, the front and back are locked, there is no light in the hole, and she almost walked over.
Fortunately, when she was about to reach the iron gate, a slight sound still caught her attention:
"Squeak ~ Squeak ......"
"Huh~......"
……
The swaying of the chaise longue and the woman's breathing made Xuanji Zhenren, who was strolling in the courtyard, feel a lot of energy, and quietly walked behind the iron door and looked out through the gap.
Outside the platform, the moon was gone, and the dawn did not shine here, only the dim light of the stove illuminated the lonely men and women in the chaise longues.
Night Terror Hall leaned back on the chaise longue, revealing the bandages on his shoulders, and at this time, with a little surprise in his eyes, he turned his head to look back at the iron door, and looked at her through the crack in the door.
And Qinghe is very different from the past, his legs passed through the armrest, he rode on the recliner, his skirt was on his back and lay on the chest of the night terror, looking from the side, the inverted jade bowl with perfect arc was flattened, probably overworked, with his eyes closed, it looked like he had fallen asleep, and the two slowly swayed with the recliner......
Xuanji Zhenren Rao is mind is very strong, seeing this kind of picture, his face is still dyed with a touch of red, originally wanted to say a few words in righteousness and strictness, but with He He's cowardice, he woke up and was afraid that he would be ashamed to jump off the cliff directly, so he hesitated for a little and didn't move, just leaned on the door and looked at it with interest, and took off the wine gourd from behind his waist, ready to take a sip.
On the platform, Dr. Fan seriously treated the patient, and after the first Chengyu and dew, the person was already fainting, but she could still see the patient's reaction.
When he was closing his eyes and resting, he found that the patient suddenly looked around, Fan Qinghe naturally noticed it, raised his cheeks slightly, and wanted to ask, but immediately realized that there was someone behind the iron door, and quickly propped up his upper body in shock, and said angrily:
"Who?"
Originally, she was lying on her stomach, but when she got up, Bai Tuan'er shook violently twice in front of her, and she could see the beautiful vest line on her abdomen against the backdrop, and then there was a small concave ......
Seeing that he had been discovered, Xuanji Zhenren naturally stopped hiding, pushed the iron door open and walked out, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip:
"He He, what are you doing?"
"You ......"
Fan Qinghe saw the elusive demon girl suddenly appear, obviously a little confused; But there is also a bit of relief in the bottom of my heart, after all, the demon girl is also on the ship, and being discovered by the demon girl is better than being bumped into by outsiders.
As soon as Fan Qinghe wanted to speak, he noticed that something was wrong, looked down, and quickly pounced on the Night Terror, pulled up his robe to cover his shoulders, and said shyly:
"What are you doing here? You go out ......."
Xuanji Zhenren didn't look like an obedient person, so he came to the small bench next to the recliner and sat down, and when he saw that Night Terror Hall wanted to open his mouth to play a round game, he leaned over and blocked his words, and then covered Night Terror Hall's face with a hat, and looked at Qing He, who was self-conscious:
"It's all a family, what's shy?"
Fan Qinghe saw people with this posture, how could she not be shy, she didn't dare to get up, she could only say fiercely:
"Who is the same family with you? I saw that he was unwell, so I helped him regulate his qi and blood, and he was not ...... Why didn't you come earlier? As soon as I got out, you came running, aren't you tossing people? ”
When Fan Qinghe said this, she was really a little aggrieved, after all, the demon girl came early, and it was the demon girl who was smashed when the medicine jar was smashed, why did she do this?
Xuanji Zhenren felt that with his combat power, if he had come over last night, he would have been half-dead now, where could he be as full of energy as Qing He. She shrugged her shoulders slightly and said:
"When I received the news, I rushed here non-stop, who would have thought that you were so anxious, or half a step slower."
"Who's in a hurry? He said he wasn't feeling well, and I ...... Now you're here, it's your turn! ”
Fan Qinghe was in this state now, he couldn't suppress the demon girl at all, and when he saw that he couldn't hold it anymore, he wanted to get up and pull the demon girl into the water.
But Xuanji Zhenren saw that the sky was about to dawn, and she was still waiting for a reply, where was she embarrassed to bask in the sun, tossing here for another hour, and made a considerate appearance at the moment, helping to take the skirt over and drape it on Fan Qinghe's back:
"It's dawn, and he's not an iron man, how can he ask so much? Let's ...... together in the evening."
"Who's going to be with you? Are you ashamed......
……
Night Terror Hall had a hat with a fragrant orchid on his face, and he originally wanted to be a tool man, but he couldn't hold back when he heard this, and opened his hat slightly:
"Actually, I'm fine, it's not completely bright......"
Fan Qinghe saw that the Night Terror Hall was still acting for the tiger, so he angrily hammered it on his chest, and the Night Terror Hall honestly shut up, put his hat back on and pretended to be dead.
Seeing that Qing He's face was red to the neck, Xuanji Zhenren understood that she had just gotten on the boat, and did not ridicule her too much, but instead got up and stood on the edge of the stone cliff, admired the sunrise in the east, and asked:
"How many days are you going to spend in the Winter Stygian Mountain? The Holy Lord has arrived in Jingjie City and is waiting for news. ”
Seeing that the demon girl was not staring, Fan Qinghe relaxed a little, quickly got up and put on his belly pocket, put on the high priest's robe again, heard the words, and responded:
"The snow lake flowers will only be dry for these two days, and you can set off when they are packed. Well...... Go ahead, I'm not going to follow this time. ”
In order not to put pressure on Qing He, the night terror hall waited for Qing He to put on it, and then he dared to lift his hat, and when he heard this, he knew that Qing He was talking angrily, so he shook his head and smiled:
"We don't know how to refine Tianlang Pearl, if you don't follow, in case there is a need at that time, we don't have to run back to pick you up. You're the accompanying doctor, and you won't mess around with me......"
When Fan Qinghe heard this, he was speechless.
If he had said this in the night terror hall last night, Fan Qinghe would have actually believed it, and he would have been a doctor in private to solve incurable diseases, but it would be nothing.
But now that the demon girl came, the situation was completely different, and when she found out that she was on the boat, she was pulled by whatever she was supposed to do, and what kind of doctor did she pretend?
I entered the house on time and on time every day to be a little daughter-in-law.
But when the night terror hall said this, Fan Qinghe couldn't find a refusal word, so he said to Xuanji Zhenren:
"Did you hear that? I'm a doctor, if you come again, I'll go back to Winter Styx Mountain, and then you will see how the Night Terror Hall cleans you up. ”
Xuanji Zhenren was not afraid of this at all, and even a little funny, and glanced back:
"It's good if I don't clean him up, and clean me up. Okay, let's wash up first, go down for breakfast, I'm hungry all the way. ”
Fan Qinghe couldn't help but face the demon girl who didn't enter the oil and salt, so he buried his head and left Shiping with the two of them......
——
Soon after, the sun peeked out of the eastern mountains, turning the white clouds flowing among the mountains golden yellow.
The people living in the walled city got up one after another, and from the heights, there was smoke rising from the roofs of thousands of tiles, and there were many more children playing in the square in the center of the house.
As the patriarch, Fan Qinghe naturally didn't have to cook by himself, and soon after the sky was bright, Granny Gui arranged for someone to send breakfast over, because they were all from their own family, and they were not too extravagant, it was normal home-cooked food, and there was also a good wine brewed by the Winter Hades Department.
After Dongfang Liren came, he had already gotten up and caught the birds wandering outside, and then he and his master came to the restaurant.
And in the room in the courtyard, the night terror hall after washing, because when I was treated by the doctor yesterday, the robe was wet, and it was difficult to wear it out again, so I changed back into a black robe.
Fan Qinghe's clothes were placed next to him, but he was not affected, but he suddenly experienced a major life event, and he obviously still had some ideas in his heart, and after returning to the house and washing, he changed back to his favorite gauze skirt, a long skirt with red gauze on a yellow background, and a colorful beaded outfit in her hair was very bright, and she looked like a little daughter-in-law who had just passed the door.
In the room, Fan Qinghe sat in front of the dressing table, carefully braiding his pigtails, and kept thinking about last night's bits and pieces in his mind, a little distracted.
After changing his clothes, Night Terror came to the house, stood behind him, and said with a smile:
"Why don't I try it?"
When Fan Qinghe saw the night terror, his heart was strange, and his face was still a little red, but when he was wearing clothes, the pressure in his heart was not so great, and he still looked as usual:
"You're a man, where would you do this. Let's go eat first, I'll be right there. ”
Night Terror Hall really hasn't tied his hair, but he has lived with Ning Er and Yunli for a long time, and he still sees a lot of how to tie his hair, so he raised his hand to take the hair bundle, combed it according to Qinghe's previous dress, and asked:
"You promised to marry me yesterday, when are you going to talk to Granny Gui?"
“?”
Fan Qinghe was originally a little cramped, but he was slightly stunned when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look at the night terror hall in the mirror:
"When did I say yes?"
Night Terror Hall said confidently:
"It's just that when I was carrying you back and forth, I asked, "To marry or not?" If you don't marry, I won't let you go. You responded at the time: "Can't I get married......?"
?!
Fan Qinghe was stunned, and thought back slightly, as if he really remembered this scene, his eyes suddenly showed shame, and he took out three silver needles from the leather armor behind his waist, got up and looked back at the Night Terror Hall:
"If you don't say I forgot! You...... You said you would treat me as a doctor, how could you coerce me to agree like that last night? You're just ......."
Night Terrors' eyes are full of smiles:
"That doesn't count? Do you think about it again? ”
Fan Qinghe felt that Night Terror Hall was so thick-skinned, holding a silver needle in his hand, he didn't dare to poke it really , so he gritted his teeth and said:
"It doesn't count, the next time you dare to ask at that time, I'll turn around and ......leave."
Night Terror Hall is just joking to enliven the atmosphere, and he has already acquiesced in his heart, so why do he need to repeat it verbally, he sat down with Qing He's shoulders and helped comb his hair again:
"Okay, next time I won't ask nonsense, just take care of my body."
"There's no next time, the demon girl is here, you will find the demon girl in the future."
"Hehe......"
Night Terror smiled without saying a word, and after helping to fix his hair, he held his shoulders and looked at it slightly, and then lowered his head in front of him.
Fan Qinghe's body stiffened, and he wanted to hide, but it's like this, what's the point of hiding and kissing? In the end, in the spirit of long-term pain is better than short-term pain, let Night Terror Hall kiss on the red lips, and then quickly got up:
"Let's go eat, you are not allowed to come outside, I am not a soft persimmon, I really annoyed this girl, do you believe it or not......"
Night Terror didn't believe it at all, but it didn't refute it, and followed out of the courtyard.
And on the other side, in the restaurant.
The meal sent by Granny Gui has been set up on the table, in addition to the home-cooked side dishes, she also prepared a roast rabbit for the birds, and the sleepy birds woke up, squatting on the stool and probe, looking intently.
Dongfang Liren sat on the stool neatly dressed, because the bird wanted to sleep, so he first helped it to sandwich some roast rabbit and let it eat first.
And Xuanji Zhenren sat in front of him, holding an old wine jar and looking at it, his demeanor was quite serious.
Yuhu learned the cynicism of the master in private, while the person learned the dignified elegance of the master on the table, and the contrast is great, but no matter who sits with Xuanji Zhenren, it is not against the harmony, and it is a pro-master and apprentice at a glance.
After Dongfang Liren grabbed two chopsticks and meat, he saw that the Night Terror Hall had not yet come, so he quietly approached a little and asked:
"Master, what was Miss Fan doing last night? Is there a ......?"
Xuanji really wants to help Qinghe cover up, but the lonely man and widow stay in the back mountain for a night, can't they really look at the moon, right? She couldn't say it clearly, so she said earnestly:
"Divorce, marriage is a big deal, and those who are in the first place must always have an advantage. You have been with the Night Terror Hall for so long, and it doesn't matter if you don't take the initiative, if you still push the other girls forward, if it goes on like this, Yunli enters the door, you may not be able to succeed, and when you get married in the future, how can you live in the back house? ”
Dongfang Liren thinks that he is quite active, he has only known each other for a year, and he has already been with the Night Terror Hall or something.
But this kind of thing, she can't take it out and offer treasures in front of her master, but she just diverts the topic and says:
"Yunli is Ning'er's girl's apprentice, if she enters the door, won't she become a master and apprentice...... Alas, in fact, it's nothing, the rules of the rivers and lakes can't be set on the head of the court, the night terror hall is the princess of the sister Feng, and the king will operate again in the future, the problem of sealing the king is not big, there are two more side concubines in the family, who dares to talk more than half a sentence......"
“……”
Xuanji Zhenren blinked her peach blossom eyes, and when she heard this sentence "It's nothing for the master and apprentice to serve together", her eyes were a little strange, she opened the wine seal and poured a glass for the apprentice:
"That's true, Night Terror Hall is not Ning'er's apprentice, even if he is placed on the rivers and lakes, it is not considered immoral, it can only be said that he is capable. But if Yunli can't accept it, she hates her master for it......"
Dongfang Liren looked at the wine glass in front of him and felt that something was wrong, but he still responded:
"Miss Ning'er met first, Yunli came later, and drove the master out of the door, it must be unruly, Miss Ning'er doesn't care about her, it's good......"
"It's also ...... ha"
"But I'm different."
When Dongfang Liren said this, the conversation changed:
"I know the Night Terror Hall early, half a day later than Sanniang, no matter who comes, they are all competing with me, Master, don't you say?"
Xuanji Zhenren's eyes stiffened slightly, and he slowly put down the wine jar and carefully looked at the departing expression:
"That's true...... What do you mean? ”
Dongfang Liren said softly: "I know that my sister must also have intentions, as a sister, and she also named me the king of one word side by side, I naturally can't stop it."
"But the outside is the outside, and the home is the home. My sister has been in charge of me since I was a child, and I have been married since then, and I am in the advanced door, so I can't still be managed by my sister, right?
"Shizun is an elder, if there is really such a situation in the future, you should help me say a few words behind my back......"
Xuanji Zhenren thought that the leaver was beating her, but she was secretly relieved when she heard the words, and said helplessly:
"The Night Terror Hall was originally going to be sent to the palace for Yuhu to look for, didn't you intercept Xiunan......"
Dongfang Liren heard this, obviously a little unreasonable:
"I have a strong ability to see the night terrors, and I want him to go through the official career and enter the palace, so I can't contribute to the court, so I ...... Well...... I didn't have any selfish intentions at the time. ”
Xuanji Zhenren held his side face with his hand and sighed softly:
"Even so, the private affairs of your family, for the outsider of the teacher, where can you intervene. If after you get married, you will still live with you as a teacher as before, then it will be able to support you and let Yuhu not be so domineering......"
Dongfang Liren pondered for a moment and asked directly:
"In what capacity does the master want to live in? Why don't I let the Night Terror Hall worship you as a teacher? ”
"Ahem......"
Xuanji Zhenren was almost annoyed by this sentence, and it was not easy to respond at all, but said:
"What is it like to live in a male apprentice's house for the elderly? Well...... The Night Terror Hall is coming, don't talk about it......"
Although Dongfang Liren is nicknamed 'stupid', he is only limited to martial arts, and he learns strategy in terms of talent, but he is blue.
She felt that something was wrong with Shizun, but something really happened, and her sister came to clean up Shizun, and she had to obey how her sister arranged her, and she couldn't think about so much mess. She sat up straight and looked back:
"Come and eat, the dishes are cold."
With a smile on his face, Night Terror came to the table and sat down, rubbing the bird that had moved his beak in advance.
And Fan Qinghe was embarrassed to go together, and when the night terror hall was seated, he came out of the aisle, came to the table and sat down, put on the posture of the host, picked up the wine glass and said:
"Home-cooked dishes, don't dislike them, come, have a drink first......"
After Dongfang Liren touched the cup with Fan Qinghe, he asked knowingly:
"Miss Fan, was the moon beautiful yesterday?"
Xuanji Zhenren took the cup with one hand, touched it with the Night Terror Hall, and said after seeing this:
"That's not it, the white flowers are big and round, otherwise how could the Night Terror Hall watch it all night."
Fan Qinghe was ridiculed by the master and apprentice, his face turned red, and he drank the wine before explaining:
"It's cool on the mountain, and I fall asleep when I look at it, but it's not really interesting......"
Night Terror listened to the chatter, afraid of being trampled on tiptoe by the three girls, and to be honest, he didn't dare to answer randomly, just smiled and helped pour wine and vegetables, and ate breakfast......
