When Nandao walked to the Tianya Sword Sect, he saw Wu Dalong and Lu Xiaoxiao with four small ones busy there, cutting meat, soaking vermicelli, and making spices and other things.

I thought that Le Chaotian just saw Nandao's senior brother coming, so he would prepare hot pot in advance, but now it seems that he has probably thought about eating hot pot today.

Lu Xiaoxiao stood there in a daze when he saw Nandao coming, and asked puzzledly, "What is the junior brother thinking?" ”

Nandao came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's nothing, have you already done everything?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao glanced back at the few people who were busy in the kitchen of the Tianya Sword Sect, stretched out his hand and nodded around, and said; "It should be almost."

"A little more paprika." Lu Xiaoyi reminded.

Lu Xiaoxiao patted her head and said with a smile: "Ah yes, I forgot what Senior Brother Le said before." ”

So everyone was busy turning over the chili peppers again.

Wu Dalong carried the cut pork, looked at Nandao, and whispered: "I saw you sitting and talking to a person on it before, who is that?" ”

Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaoyu." ”

"Oh, Zhang Xiaoyu." Wu Dalong turned around, but after turning around, he was stunned for a moment, looked back at Nan Dao and said in surprise: "Who?" ”

This sound made Lu Xiaoxiao and the others turn their heads in shock and look at the two of them.

Nandao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said softly, "Senior Brother Zhang is here." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao was silent, then put the things in his hand aside, sneered, and said, "I'm going to go and see what other face he has to come here!" ”

Before the words fell, Lu Xiaoxiao had already pushed the door and walked out.

Wu Dalong was worried that Lu Xiaoxiao would be too excited and do something bad, so he hurriedly picked up some things and chased after him.

Lu Xiaoyi and Lu Xiaoer had both heard the name Zhang Xiaoyu, so naturally they didn't say anything, just looked up at Nandao on the side.

Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu were a little dumb and cute, looked at Nandao and asked, "Who is Zhang Xiaoyu?" ”

Nan Dao said softly, "He is my senior brother. ”

"Oh, that's it, but this name is not as powerful as Uncle Wu."

Zhang Xiaoyu Judging from the name, it may indeed not be as powerful as Wu Dalong's name.

Nan Dao just smiled, didn't say anything, put the things prepared in the kitchen into a basin, and then held the umbrella with one hand and held the basin, and took Lu Xiaoyi and them into the heavy snow outside.

It was only a few people who began to pass through the courtyard of the Tianya Sword Sect, and when they walked through the path, they saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Wu Dalong standing under the mountain road, looking up and up, and they didn't go up for a long time.

Nandao stopped behind the two of them, and looked up, Zhang Xiaoyu was no longer on the edge of the cliff, according to Nandao's understanding of him, most of them went into the house to roast the fire.

"Why didn't Senior Sister leave?"

Nan Dao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao's back and asked.

The two turned their heads and looked at Nandao, Lu Xiaoxiao's expression was complicated, and he stood quietly in the snow under the mountain road and looked at the young man.

That day, only Lu Xiaoxiao and Nandao had seen it with their own eyes.

So probably only Nandao can understand what those looks on Lu Xiaoxiao's face meant.

Zhang Xiaoyu is a complex person.

Therefore, people who have experienced some things with him will also feel very complicated and hesitant.

It's like a mess that's hard to unravel.

"Senior brother really doesn't care?"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Nandao and said.

Nandao looked down at his heart, was silent for a while, and said, "Maybe yes." ”

It may be yes, it may not be.

Nandao himself can't tell.

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed and turned around and walked towards the Little White Sword Sect.

"Forget it, I have a cold today, so I'll go back and rest first."

"Senior sister!"

Nandao wanted to stop her, but Lu Xiaoxiao just walked away in the snow without looking back.

"It may be a good thing that the junior brother can not care."

Lu Xiaoxiao's voice came from the snow.

"But I can't, I'm just a little Lingnan little sword cultivator like the world."

Lu Xiaoxiao naturally has gratitude and admiration for Zhang Xiaoyu, as well as resentment and incomprehension.

It is difficult for the world to solve such a problem, so I walked through the snow and slept until tomorrow.

Nandao wanted to say something, but Wu Dalong shook his head and said, "Forget it, today is the hot pot in the snow that Senior Brother Le has been thinking about for a long time, let's go up first, and I'll go see her later." ”

Wu Dalong is naturally also an uncomfortable person caught in the middle.

Nan Dao stood there silent for a long time, then looked at Wu Dalong and the four little ones and whispered, "I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, Uncle Shi." Lu Xiaoer hugged those seasoning jars, looked at Nandao and said very sincerely.

Lu Xiaoyi and the others on the side also nodded.

So a few people looked back at the figure walking towards the Little White Sword Sect and walked upward.

Probably the reason for the delay below.

Lu Xiaosan was already stepping on the snow alone, coming back from the mountain behind, and was walking in the canyon at this time, when he saw Nandao and others holding a lot of things, he screamed out wow, and then dragged his hands back and rushed over with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

"Is there a hot pot to eat today?"

Lu Xiaosan shouted excitedly.

Wu Dalong laughed, took out his free hand, and pressed the head of Lu Xiaosan, who rushed over.

"You kid, didn't you calculate the time to run back?"

Lu Xiaosan grinned.

was interrupted by Lu Xiaosan like this, and everyone's mood was a lot better.

Wu Dalong laughed, then walked to the side of the cabin, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

A red dress quickly appeared in the wind and snow at the door, frowned and looked at several people and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Dalong said with a smile: "Senior sister, help me bring these things over, I still have some things, I want to go down for a while." ”

Qingjiao glanced at everyone silently, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So Wu Dalong handed the vermicelli pork in his hand to the green peppers, and then stepped on the snow and walked down the mountain road.

Lu Xiaosan asked curiously in the back, "What is Uncle Shi going to do?" What about Master? ”

Without waiting for Nandao to answer, Lu Xiaoyi spoke first: "Master is a little uncomfortable, he shouldn't be here tonight." ”

"Ah, well-then." Although Lu Xiaosan is very afraid of Lu Xiaoxiao on weekdays, but for such a hot pot today, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't come, he still felt that it was a pity.

A group of people walked towards the Little Red Mansion with their things in their arms.

It was not very late, but because of the heavy snow, the world was already dark, and the lights in the small building had already been lit up.

When the group walked upstairs, Zhang Xiaoyu and Le Chaotian did sit in front of the stove with their knees crossed, talking on the fire there, and they didn't look too embarrassed.

As soon as Lu Xiaosan, who didn't listen to the bell on his back with his empty hands, came up, he looked around, and didn't care who the white-clothed sword cultivator was, and walked around the building several times before he wondered: "What about the pot, why is there only fire and no pot?" ”

Le Chaotian looked at Lu Xiaosan with a smile and said, "What do you think this big furnace looks like?" ”

Lu Xiaosan said: "Sharp, what's wrong?" ”

Le Chaotian smiled and said, "Yes, so this is a big hot pot!" ”

Lu Xiaosan's eyes widened, and he looked at the stove in the building in a daze, but he suddenly understood why Le Chaotian deliberately built such a big furnace in the first place.

"But something seems to be missing?"

Lu Xiaosan scratched his head and circled around the stove.

After turning around, I saw the huge round pot ring in the corner.

Lu Xiaoer and the others also saw it, so the five little ones grinned, put down the things in their hands, and ran over together to set up the pot ring, and rolled towards the stove with a clang.

"Uncle Shi!" Lu Xiaosan shouted unusually loudly.

Le Chaotian took the initiative to stand up at this time, poked out the butterfly love flower, and then picked up the huge and heavy copper pot, and picked it up to the stove in a chic and handsome manner.

So a huge copper hot pot was placed in the middle of the small building.

Le Chaotian took the sword back with a smile, then turned his head to look at Nandao on the side, and said, "Senior brother, go get some water." ”

"Hmm." Nandao said as he walked down.

It's just that the five little ones move faster.

"Let's go, we're going!"

Then they swarmed down.

South Island: "......"

Le Chaotian raised his eyebrows, probably guessed something, walked out of the building and looked at the guardrail, and sure enough, the five little ones carried buckets and dug snow there.

Although Le Chaotian wanted to get some water from the South Island, it seemed that it would be okay to get snow directly.

So he ignored the five little ones, and went back to the building, and sat down there, where an iron kettle had been placed by the fire, and wine was probably being heated in it.

Wu Dalong hasn't come back for a long time, and probably won't come.

Nandao walked outside the building and quietly looked in the direction of the Little White Sword Sect below.

The five little ones carried a bucket of snow, but after walking a few steps, they forgot their original intention and started playing in the snow.

Nandao watched this scene, but also chuckled softly.

Nandao is naturally smiling.

But the green peppers sitting by the stove in the building were a little stuffy.

Zhang Xiaoyu and Le Chaotian didn't say anything more, just sat there and waited for the five little ones to come up in the snow.

Qingjiao sat on the side, always a little at a loss, and was about to go out to breathe like Nandao, but saw Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly turn his head, looked at her and asked curiously, "From the East China Sea Sword Sect?" ”

Qingjiao breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Yes, senior brother." ”

It was naturally impossible for Qingjiao not to guess who this white-clothed sword cultivator was.

With such a young Dao Sword Cultivator, coupled with that white robe, there is only Zhang Xiaoyu in the world at present.

Facing such a young but high-level senior brother, Qingjiao was naturally a little restrained.

"The East China Sea is really good." Zhang Xiaoyu said calmly.

Except that sometimes the head is raised a little too high.

Le Chaotian said with a smile on the side: "If they also love hot pot, it will naturally be good." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu: "......"

This sentence is quite his style in the past - just change eating hot pot to playing cards.

The five little ones played for a while, and finally ran up with the snow in a sweaty sweat and placed it by the fireside.

Zhang Xiaoyu is a lazy person, Le Chaotian is also a lazy person, and green peppers are not easy to drive.

So Le Chaotian shouted outside the door: "Senior brother! ”

Nan Dao walked in silently, holding an umbrella while pouring all the snow into the pot with the five little ones, and putting down some ingredients and bases.

Then the crowd sat in a circle around the fire, waiting for the water to boil.

Le Chaotian is actually not wrong.

The water is too cold, and the hot pot is difficult to cook.

What's more, the five small ones are still directly loaded with large barrels of snow this time.

So I waited for the snow to turn into water, and I waited for a while.

It was just as dark outside that the snow turned into water and heated slowly in the pot.

Although the stove was piping hot, because the pot was separated from the stove, it didn't get hot quickly for a while.

Le Chaotian waited while looking at Nandao and asked, "Senior sister, what about them?" ”

Nandao was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Senior Sister is a little uncomfortable, so she won't come, Senior Brother Wu went to see her." ”

"Ah, well-then." Le Chaotian said with some pity.

Zhang Xiaoyu on the side could probably guess why, sat for a while, stood up, and walked towards the corridor outside.

"What are you going to do?" Nandao looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said.

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's a little stuffy inside, come out and breathe." ”

Le Chaotian looked at the water in the pot while probing by the stove, and said with a smile: "Then why don't you go and help us pick some cabbage, just in the vegetable field next to the mountain road, and wipe it with snow after picking." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Then he put down his sword and walked downstairs.

Le Chaotian was still there pulling the water in the pot, and the five little ones were beside him, and he didn't care about anything else, just stared at the base that was gradually boiling in the big hot pot.

"Are you ready to eat?"

Lu Xiaosan swallowed his saliva and asked a little impatiently.

This time's hot pot is fully prepared, although it is still based on Le Chaotian's favorite cabbage vermicelli, but a lot of seasonings are prepared, the base ingredients are bought at the bottom of the mountain, and there are all kinds of side dishes, such as shiitake mushroom enoki mushroom balls or something, all of which are placed aside.

Le Chaotian chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry, the water hasn't boiled yet, but you can put the noodles in first." ”

"Yay!"

Lu Xiaosan smiled happily and found the noodles in the dishes on the side, the noodles were already soaked and slippery, Lu Xiaosan directly held a large handful with his hand, put it inside, and then quickly picked up the dishes and chopsticks filled with seasonings from the side, holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, staring at Lu Xiaoer and the others vigilantly.

Le Chaotian just watched with a smile on the side.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaoyu came back with the cabbage.

The cabbage has been broken, one by one, and there is still some snow left on it, which must have been washed with snow.

Nandao picked it up curiously and looked at it, and found that it was indeed not bad, and it was indeed useful for Le Chaotian to tie up the little cabbage.

This pot of hot pot boiled in snow finally began to steam and began to gurgle.

The five little ones happily put things inside, and Le Chaotian sat next to them, looking at them with a smile, and then took advantage of their inattention, and secretly fished out their good food and ate it.

The hot pot is very large, even if everyone sits in a circle, there is a lot of space, and the green pepper sits alone, hesitating there with chopsticks, not knowing what to eat.

Lu Xiaoyi, who was closest to Qingjiao, looked at the woman in red a little, sandwiched some meat slices and meatballs for her, and asked, "Haven't you eaten anything like this before?" ”

Qingjiao shook his head and said softly, "I've eaten it, but it's only when I was a child." ”

Of course, the East China Sea Sword Sect doesn't eat hot pot.

So after many years, green peppers faced with such a big hot pot, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't have such embarrassment, as a white-clothed sword cultivator who had been in Nanyi City for many years and could squat on the side of the road with a sword on his back and nibble on rice balls, he was naturally like a fish in water when he ate such things in the world.

While constantly pouring things into it, he didn't forget to stretch out his chopsticks in those mist to clip out the cooked meat, put it in a bowl with a lot of chili peppers separately, and eat it in a big gulp, without the demeanor of Dao Sword Cultivation.

Nan Dao laughed softly on the side and said, "Senior brother seems to like eating such things very much. ”

"That's nature." Zhang Xiaoyu said as a matter of course while eating.

Nandao turned his head to look at Le Chaotian on the side, this smiling uncle was still not doing anything - Lu Xiaosan had already turned over a piece of big pork that he had put down earlier for a long time.

Probably finally realizing something, Lu Xiaosan turned his head to look at Le Chaotian who still had some oil stains on the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle Shi, have you seen my slices of meat?"

Le Chaotian picked up a glass of water from the side and took two sips, and said with an innocent face: "What meat slices?" ”

Lu Xiaosan sneered and said, "I've already lost three slices of meat, so I rolled the third slice in the chili pepper before adding it." ”

Le Chaotian, whose mouth is a little swollen: "......"

"Dog thief, come here!" Lu Xiaosan threw himself towards Le Chaotian with a sad and angry face.

Le Chaotian laughed and ran towards Nandao and Zhang Xiaoyu.

Although Lu Xiaosan didn't want to give up, he looked at the white-clothed sword cultivator sitting there, and still let Le Chaotian go.

"Senior brother is really happy." Zhang Xiaoyu said while eating the balls with chili peppers in the bowl, while looking at Le Chaotian who was sitting on the side.

Le Chaotian looked at the chili peppers in Zhang Xiaoyu's bowl with a sad face, thought for a while and said, "If Senior Brother is willing to use another pair of chopsticks that are not stained with chili peppers to pick up vegetables, I will probably be a little happier." ”

Nandao couldn't stop laughing on the side, and then took the pot of wine that had been hot for a long time from the stove, poured himself a glass, just thought about it, and poured a glass for Zhang Xiaoyu, and then poured a glass for the green pepper on the opposite side, after pouring, looking at Le Chaotian's eyes, and remembering Le Chaotian's staggering appearance after taking a sip in the past, he thought about it and said, "How much do you want?" ”

Le Chaotian tilted his head and thought about it, and stretched out a finger.

"Drink a drink today, a cup!"

Zhang Xiaoyu may be able to face a glass of nothing, and said calmly that he can.

But for Le Chaotian, this is probably a thing that needs to be thought through.

Green ant new brewed wine, copper clay small hot pot.

It was snowing late in the evening.

So probably a cup is quite a lot.
