Yesterday a few light rain was sprinkled in the mountains, Wu Nuxia went to the bamboo forest after killing the chicken, and picked up a few chicken fir when she came out, Yizhou people generally call it mountain hemp mushroom, so they used this bamboo forest old hen to stew a pot of mountain hemp mushroom chicken soup, chicken fat floated a golden layer on the soup surface, full of rich chicken fir fragrance.

When the soup was stewed, the bacon on the beam was untied, brushed and cleaned, and used to fry a pot of garlic seedlings, leaving two mountain hemp mushrooms, which were fried casually, and were filled with a rough bucket bowl.

The old wooden table, the unelaborate but very rich dishes, full of fireworks.

Old friends sit opposite each other, eat meat, and talk while eating.

Because she had to take care of Xiao Jiang Han, the Sanhua Niang Niang next to her did not turn into her original form, but maintained her appearance, sitting on a bench with Xiao Jiang Han, feeding her, listening to the two of them talking, and paying attention to Xiao Jiang Han, who was unstable on the bench, don't fall to death.

"It's very good here, far away from the rivers and lakes, the nearest village is also more than ten miles away, usually no one comes to disturb, and no one comes to collect taxes, I want to eat what I want to grow myself, feed myself, I want to eat wild game on the mountain to find, go to the mountain to play, and receive all the hands are their own. Oh yes, you should have come up from the official road over there, if you go up the hill behind, it's all my trap, I'll go and see this afternoon, and what you eat in the evening depends on what you can find in the afternoon. ”

"Sounds good."

"Yes, it's a little inconvenient to buy things, if you want to go to the city, you have to walk sixty miles. On the other side of the mountain, there are market towns, and several villages open in turns, and each village only opens one day a month, which is only a few days a month. It is more than ten miles near, twenty or thirty miles away, and it only opens in the morning, and I can't remember the days, and I can't remember it with great difficulty, and I can't get up. Wu Nuxia scratched her head with the back of her hand holding chopsticks, "I used to get up early when I was in Changjing, and I woke up when I said I would, if I woke up at the fifth watch, I would definitely hear the sound of the fifth watch, and I would definitely be able to hear the sound of the fifth watch, and now I am getting lazier and lazier." ”

"That's a good thing."

"What's good?"

"It shows that the life of the heroine is getting better and better, and it is indeed getting more and more comfortable."

The Taoist held a thick bowl, and the small half bowl of chicken soup in it was scooped by Wu Nuxia for him, at first it was scooped with chicken and chicken fir and soup, but now all the dried ones have been eaten, and only soup remains.

"Hoo ......"

Daoist blew off the golden oil on it, took a sip of the soup, and the deliciousness and rich fragrance that hit his taste buds made him sigh, and then he raised his head and continued: "Isn't this kind of life much better than the busy and tired days when I was in Changjing before? ”

"That's true."

The woman grinned, but said with a smile: "But it's not a matter to be too lazy, sometimes you eat two meals a day, or even one meal a day, sometimes you are sleepy during the day, and when you wake up it's dark, and you don't know what to do at night." ”

"Fairy days."

"Sometimes you still have to go out, you still need to go shopping, once the salt in the house is finished, I forgot the day of the rush, I finally found someone to ask, and a few times I didn't get up, said to go to the city to buy it and it was too far too rare to go, I didn't eat salt for a few days, but fortunately there were a few pieces of bacon, otherwise I was afraid that I couldn't cut the monster with a knife......"

As he spoke, he looked up and laughed, as if he thought it was extremely funny.

"Salt has become more and more expensive in the past two years."

"Yes, Yizhou too."

"Everywhere."

Salt is the most clever poll tax in this era, so this woman is not completely untaxed.

"When autumn arrives this year, I will finish harvesting the crops, and I will go to your Yinyang Mountain to visit you, and I will pass by Yidu at that time, and I will just pick a good horse in Yidu." Wu Nuxia said, "My BMW is too old after all, I am reluctant to ride it away, buy a new one, it can live here for a long time, I ride a new horse, it is much more convenient to go to the city to buy." ”

"It's rare to see a woman who loves horses so much."

"Isn't there one around you?"

Wu Nuxia glanced at the three flower girls next to her.

The Taoist also looked at Sanhua Niangniang.

Sanhua Niangniang is holding a bowl with one hand, holding vegetables with the other, and putting a large clip of bacon in the bowl, mixing the meat with rice, bowing her head and shaving big.

"How? Over the years, my craft has improved, right? Wu Nuxia said quite proudly.

"Not bad."

The Taoist said truthfully.

Yizhou people have always loved to eat, Wu Nuxia loves to eat even more, but compared with people who love to eat in other states, Yizhou people's desire to do it will be stronger.

"What do you think of Sanhua Niangniang?"

“……”

Sanhua Niangniang raised her eyes, glanced at her, her eyes flashed, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Tomorrow and night, Sanhua Niangniang will cook for you!" ”

"You're cooking, too?"

“……”

Sanhua Niangniang didn't speak, bowed her head and slashed rice.

Grab something casually, stuff it into Xiao Jianghan's mouth next to her, and let her chew it, paying attention to a cat-like feeding method.

"That's just right, you go to the mountains with me in the afternoon and see what you find. Next to it is my field, the moon has been very full lately, and many yellow eels will come out at night, as well as frogs and snails, and I will get these things for you to eat tomorrow. Wu Nuxia said, "You're not in a hurry to go back, are you?" ”

Sanhua Niangniang's expression was already serious, and she looked at the Taoist.

"There's no hurry."

The Taoist replied.

"Then stay here for a few more days, so that you can taste the good of the mountains." Wu Nuxia said.

"Good!"

The Taoist did not refuse.

After a meal, satisfied.

The topic is even more unknown where to fly.

The sun is quite big at noon, the sun makes people drowsy, and the sound of cicadas also makes people want to sleep, Wu Nuxia has no other room, so she has to make some space in the room and let them rest here.

Take a nap first, and after waking up, the world seems to be asleep, and then follow Wu Nuxia to the back mountain, check the traps one by one, and wake up this world again.

Sanhua Niangniang's eyes widened, and she was amazed that she didn't have to hunt, she didn't have to chase her prey, she didn't have to fight it, she didn't have to wait for her prey, and when it came out, she would put some branches on the mountain and dig some small pits, just like those who put cages in the river and wait for the fish to go in and fetch themselves, just go and pick up the prey.

It's effortless, and it's reaping the benefits.

Worthy of a human being! That's smart!

The Taoist is walking and watching, enjoying the scenery in the mountains, looking at the official road opposite, looking at the place where the old friend has lived alone for more than ten years, talking to her from time to time, talking about the thoughts and experiences of these years.

Dinner was a hare and pheasant.

I saw Sanhua Niangniang skillfully cleaning up the hare and pheasant, taking out all kinds of spices and ingredients from the brocade bag, and roasting the hare to charred on the outside and tender on the inside in a way that this era does not have, and the pheasant was stir-fried with chili peppers, so crispy that the bones can be bitten.

Wu Nuxia watched from the side, although she was amazed, but she also laughed more, and occasionally asked her how she learned it, just like the Taoist, and behaved incredulously, so as to satisfy her vanity.

That night, it was the night of the full moon.

When the moon is in the sky, the mountains are painted by the moonlight, and the world is full of frogs and insect noises.

Wu Nuxia is already very familiar with the surrounding environment, with the help of the moonlight, even if the ridges are uneven, will not step crookedly, Sanhua Niangniang is the moonlight as daylight, the night is like day in her eyes, but also with her own small bamboo cane, follow Wu Nuxia in the field.

The two of them caught loaches and yellow eels, and frogs and locusts, and there was often the sound of water splashing in the field, and the whispers of the two of them in low voices, and the exclamation of grasping something.

Song You didn't go with them.

He lit an oil lamp in the hall of Wu Nuxia, spread out the paper, dipped a pen in ink, and recorded the last part of his journey in the past twenty years.

It is extremely happy and unexpected to meet Wu Nuxia on the way back, and there are many feelings in my heart when I see the appearance and life of the deceased now, which are worth recording.

The lights in the house were dim and shaking.

The moonlight outside seemed to be brighter, and the voices of the two of them were faintly and continuously.

"Taoist priest~"

Xiao Jiang Han crawled beside him.

"Call Master."

"Taoist priest~"

The Taoist shook his head and continued to write by the candlelight, until the little girl fell asleep unconsciously, and his pen did not stop.

……

The Taoist stayed here for a few days in a row.

No day is boring.

Sometimes Wu Nuxia took Sanhua Niangniang to the nearest river to fish and catch shrimp, and when she came back, Sanhua Niangniang incarnated as Sanhua Teacher and taught her her own unique cooking skills.

Sanhua Niangniang is in charge, and she burns the fire.

Sometimes Wu Nuxia took Sanhua Niangniang to the field to see her crops, and Sanhua Niangniang took out the sour eggplant seeds and planted them in her vegetable field, telling her that she couldn't eat this thing all summer, and also taught her a variety of ways to eat sour eggplant, all of which were learned from Taoists through secret observation.

Wu Nuxia taught her to set traps in the mountains, and she took Wu Nuxia to fly on a crane.

It wasn't until a few days later that someone from the village from afar came, respectfully, and asked Wu Nuxia to go to the village to get rid of the demon, and the Taoist also took the opportunity to say goodbye to her.

"We should also go back, there are still three hundred miles to Yidu, and Yidu is not a short distance from Lingquan, and it is estimated that it will take a while to walk, and we will wait for the woman to visit in the Taoist temple."

"It's going to be there!"

Wu Nuxia said, looking at Sanhua Niangniang.

Sanhua Niangniang was standing in front of the house, holding a dried mouse, hissing at the yellow dog in front of her, feeling her gaze, and seemed to know that she was leaving, she was expressionless, only threw the mouse slice and threw it to the yellow dog who had been greedy for a long time, and turned her head to look at Wu Nuxia, her tone was clear and her expression was serious:

"We've met many times, haven't we?"

"This is natural." Wu Nuxia said, "When I buy a new horse and ride to find you, it will only be a matter of two or three days, and I will come to you at least twice a year." ”

"Sanhua Niangniang will also come to you on a crane."

"Okay."

"Then let's go."

"Walk slowly."

"Yes!"

The group said goodbye to each other in front of the bamboo forest and on the ridge.
