Chapter 90: A Boy Running Through the Mountains and Snow
Is there anyone like a dog in the southern sorghum, probably not the reason why Lu Xiaoyi's rice was scorched today.
The eldest elder sister of the Little White Sword Sect stayed in the kitchen with a sad face at this time, looking at the rice in the pot that had dried into grains.
Lu Xiaosan has already asked several times outside - has the senior sister's rice been cooked?
Lu Xiaoyi could only say - not yet, wait.
But after all, when can the junior brothers and masters have to eat?
Lu Xiaoyi pinched a grain of rice out of the pot, and the bite was very chewy in his mouth.
People certainly like to eat chewy stuff sometimes.
But I don't want to come to rice.
Lu Xiaoyi stood in front of the stove, but he was suddenly a little dazed.
Why did I keep squatting in front of the stove pit to add firewood, and forgot to look at the rice in the pot?
When Lu Xiaoyi was thinking like this, the kitchen door was pushed open.
"Master, senior sister must have cooked the rice to the burnt." Lu Xiaosan stood at the door, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao who walked into the kitchen, and said proudly, "I smell burning." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and made a beating gesture, and Lu Xiaosan hurriedly hugged his head and ran away.
Then the kitchen door was shut.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the stove, looked at Lu Xiaoyi, who was a little distracted, and reached out and grabbed a small pinch of rice from the pot, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it.
After swallowing the rice with great difficulty, Lu Xiaoxiao patted Lu Xiaoyi's shoulder and said, "Go and find some rice again." ”
Lu Xiaoyi looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao for a long time before he nodded, lifted the pot on the stove, replaced it with another pot and placed it on it, and then walked to the back to dig for rice.
The rice was quickly cooked, and the fire was re-burned by Lu Xiaoxiao.
The master and apprentice sat down in front of the stove, and neither of them said anything.
It wasn't until outside that the voice of Lu Xiaoer, who came back from sword practice in the snow of the small white waterfall.
"Hey, why haven't you eaten today?"
Then there is Lu Xiaosan, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
"I don't know, but Master just said that if you come back, go to the kitchen and look for him."
Lu Xiaoer probably did think it was very strange, and stepped on the snow with his sword on his back, so he walked towards this side.
Then the little boy pushed open the door against a shoulder of wind and snow, and poked his head inside.
When he saw Lu Xiaoyi sitting there in a daze, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at himself with a strange expression and said, "Do you also believe Xiaosan's words?" ”
So the young man knew that he had mistaken the words of the traitor, and led the door up.
Not long after, Lu Xiaosan's begging for mercy came from the wind and snow outside the door.
"Senior brother, stop your sword, I'm wrong, I'm wrong!"
......
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the direction of the door for a long time before looking back at Lu Xiaoyi again.
"What's wrong with you today?"
Lu Xiaoyi, who has always taken care of his juniors without complaint, was silent for a long time this time, and then looked at Lu Xiaodao: "Are they going to fight again?" ”
Lu Xiaoxiao understood, looked at Lu Xiaoyi and said, "When did you know?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi said softly: "It was some time ago. ”
When was some time ago?
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, and then remembered.
That should be the time before the second snow comes.
Because about the things of those demon clans in the world, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that he should have only talked about it once.
It was on the courtyard of the Tianya Sword Sect, and Nandao was also there that time, and he also said that he was going to climb the cliff next year.
So in fact, Lu Xiaoyi was also there at that time?
Lu Xiaoxiao really didn't notice.
But thinking about the time at that time, she might indeed be there, and she would call herself back for dinner.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't bother where Lu Xiaoyi was at that time, but just thought about it and said, "Actually, those things are just our guesses. Just like in the past many years, people sometimes wonder if there will be disputes between the two clans. But many things, their big people, just like those senior brothers in the Sword Sect, often help the world solve problems. It's not going to really go that far. ”
Lu Xiaoyi quietly looked at the burning firewood in the stove, which was the dry branch that she and her junior brothers had picked up in the mountains and forests in their spare time.
Just like before, Lu Xiaoxiao picked her up like this.
Lu Xiaoyi sometimes walks in the mountains and forests with a backpack, looking at the firewood in the baskets of his junior and younger brothers, and he will think, will one day, he will also be taken to burn?
But such a thing naturally won't happen, so Lu Xiaoyi is just thinking about it, and he has no emotions.
Lu Xiaoyi looked at it for a long time, and then said softly: "Didn't you say that it might have been done by the senior brother of the Human Sword Sect?" ”
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard this, he suddenly realized a lot of things.
Yes, there are some things in her and Wu Dalong's eyes, just one guess and another guess.
It's just that they are people of the world, so naturally they won't experience some deeper fears.
What suppressed the rift between the two clans and made them flow together in the world was the Tonggui Monument in Nanyi City?
No.
It is the Sword Sect that is as quiet as the Tonggui Monument.
Only then did Lu Xiaoxiao realize that he had neglected his eldest disciple.
Therefore, this thirty-year-old Lingnan little sword cultivator looked at Lu Xiaoyi, who had always been very quiet, very guilty, touched her head and said: "The senior brothers of the Sword Sect know better than anyone the harm caused by turmoil to the world, so such a thing naturally cannot happen. Those who do such a thing secretly want you to have some misunderstandings. You see, when you start to doubt something, it's hard to trust a lot of things. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao paused, thought for a while, and continued: "Just like many years ago, many years ago, the human race and demon clan also lived in the world peacefully, until Huai'an, whose name is Li Asan, began to suspect some things. So sometimes, you don't think too much about it, you may feel that there is a lot of snow in the world because you have heard some stories. But just like the snow outside, the cold is only temporary, and tomorrow spring, you can see the snow melt away and everything starts again. ”
"I see." Lu Xiaoyi said after a long time, "But ......"
"But what?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her with some puzzlement.
Lu Xiaoyi pointed to the raging flames in the stove and said, "Master, you are burning too much. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao found out about this matter, but fortunately, he found it in time, otherwise today's second pot of rice would also be burnt, so he could only take the five little ones to Wu Dalong to rub the rice.
After all, there are only two pots in the Sword Sect that can be used.
The burnt rice in the last pot, Lu Xiaoxiao hasn't figured out how to solve it yet.
Because today's kitchen was a bit messy, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't cook any more dishes, so he took two small cabbages, washed them with snow-melting water, poured some lard, added some salt and chili powder, and put them in the pot and steamed them together.
When he went out to call the other four little boys for dinner, he found that only Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu, the two honest junior disciples, were still holding the little earth dog in the Sword Sect and waiting for the meal, but Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan didn't know where to go.
.....
Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan were naturally hungry.
So I planned to go to the canyon to see if the two uncles were eating hot pot.
Originally, I called the four and five children to go together, but the two little teenagers did not follow, so the two went by themselves.
When they ran to the small building under the wind and snow, the two of them saw two uncles, one of the old gods was sitting on the ground under the eaves, and the other was shaking his head and playing tunes, so they also understood that they probably didn't have anything to eat.
I wanted to go back again, but Lu Xiaosan said that he missed Tianya Town a little.
So the two young boys began to brave the wind and snow again towards the high mountain cliff behind the canyon.
It's just that this snowstorm is quite mighty, and it has been raining for a long time, this road is very difficult to walk, and the two of them stepped on the extremely deep snow and walked hard for a long time before returning to the Qingxi cliff.
If they just missed Tianya Town, the two little teenagers probably wouldn't have worked so hard to climb in the snow.
When Lu Xiaosan drooled and said that I miss Tianya Town.
Lu Xiaoer understood that what he missed was not Tianya Town.
It's the roast chicken that I ate in the town.
So Lu Xiaoer also missed it.
After climbing this thousand-foot high cliff, the two young men sat down on the edge of the cliff while panting.
Probably because they stood tall enough, the two of them saw some twilight in the gloomy wind and snow that had lasted for a long time.
At dusk, as soon as you climb the cliff, you will be a teenager in the world, countless, and the mountains are snowy.
The roast chicken is naturally delicious, and the journey towards the roast chicken is also painful and happy.
Lu Xiaosan sat on the edge of the cliff and shouted.
"I don't want to be the biggest sword cultivator in the world, I want to eat the best roast chicken in the world."
Lu Xiaoer sat aside with his sword on his back, watching his junior brother smile.
was probably infected by Lu Xiaosan's bold words, and Lu Xiaoer also shouted with some pleasure.
"I'm going to eat it too!"
What the little boy wants to do and eat, it's probably all random.
Because they don't have to perceive many of the world's troubles.
The two rested on the cliff for a while, and then jumped down the cliff with a plop.
Then, when he landed in a snowfield, he was stunned.
Are you in the wrong place?
Isn't it spring in Tianya Town?
Just looking at those mountain roads with wind, snow and clouds, it seems that I haven't come to the wrong place.
The two young men hesitated for a long time, and then began to walk down the mountain called Jingting with their swords.
Everything was still as usual, except for a lot of light snow drifting slowly.
I don't know why, but the two of them always feel that there is some wine in the snow.
Lu Xiaoer remembered what Nandao said about washing swords with wine.
Probably got something.
The two of them walked through the wind and snow of the cloud cliff and headed towards Tianya Town, and when they crossed the stone path on the lake, they saw that the whole town fell in the snow, and the sky was a little dark, and the town in the distance was like an old man carrying a lantern in the snow.
There was also a lot of snow in the sea of flowers, probably because the background color had turned white, and it was the flowers and leaves that clearly covered some snow that made it even more vivid.
The grass is not sleeping in the sea of flowers, nor is it drinking under the peach trees with snow hanging on the lakeside, and I don't know where it went.
So the two of them headed for the town where the lanterns were hung.
The people of the town were no different from the people of the world, they put on their makeshift thick clothes in the snow, stepped on the wet shiny stone slabs illuminated by the lanterns hanging down the cliffs, and hurriedly walked, carrying large bags of things in their hands, probably shopping for New Year's goods.
However, Lu Xiaosan was very curious, such a town surrounded by a big lake, walking in a hurry, where did he come from and where did he go?
When Lu Xiaosan thought of this question, he felt as if he had touched a trace of the true meaning of life.
So he stood on the side of the street at the entrance of the town with his waist crossed, and began to sigh inexplicably.
It's just that he probably didn't stand in a very good position, and stepped on an old dog that was sleeping peacefully.
The old dog barked in pain.
The little boy was startled, and hurriedly jumped behind his senior brother.
The people of the town were attracted by the barking of the old dog, and they all looked back at the two brothers.
It's just that the two little boys who stepped on the old dog by mistake didn't have anything to look at, so they turned around and continued to walk back and forth.
Probably because they were startled by the old dog, the two little teenagers also became cautious, after all, this is not Lingnan, and it doesn't seem to be the world.
Walking all the way along the long street, from time to time I opened the curtains of the nearby liquor stores or various shops, and looked inside, trying to find where the grass was firefly.
It's just that the two of them have been looking for a long time, and they are hungry, and they don't see the figure of the young man in green clothes who likes to drink with a wine jug.
Dusk was already fading in the snow.
Two young boys sat on the steps of the street with their heads downcast, watching the people come and go.
"Senior brother, where did you say the grass was firefly?"
Lu Xiaosan looked at a passer-by holding a roast chicken in his hand, and said while licking his lips.
Lu Xiaoer also swallowed his saliva, thought about it and said, "I don't know, maybe I got drunk and forgot to come back." ”
Tianya Town is very large.
The two young men who have been in this world for a while are naturally very clear.
It's just that many places were blocked by clouds and mist, and the two didn't dare to walk around.
The two sighed, feeling that the colors of the sky looked like the crispy skin of a roast chicken.
So he kept swallowing his saliva.
Yes, the road to the roast chicken was hard.
Lu Xiaosan sighed and said: "Senior brother, I'm so hungry, I didn't come if I knew it, eating some burnt rice in the Sword Sect is actually quite fragrant, and when I take a bite, it creaks in my mouth." ”
"Don't talk about it." Lu Xiaoer patted Lu Xiaosan's head, and then stood up, the little boy stood in the twilight with his sword on his back and pondered for a while, and then began to flip through his thick winter coat.
The little boy may not have any money, but because of the happy coin throwing behavior at the beginning, it also led to the two little teenagers being able to have some money.
However, the two also patronized Wuhu at that time.
Actually, I didn't pick up much.
So Lu Xiaoer turned over for a long time before he turned over a dozen copper plates. Lu Xiaosan's eyes lit up, and he also began to rummage through the money on his body.
It's just a pity that Lu Xiaosan didn't have any money on him, so the two people in the town probably had all their belongings, which were the dozen copper coins in Lu Xiaosan's second-hand.
Naturally, it is not enough to buy a roast chicken.
The two sighed again.
Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you put the sword there, and then wait until you find the old boy Cao Weiying, and let him redeem it for us?" ”
Lu Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Xiaosan and sighed and said, "Senior brother, junior brother, how can you have such a dangerous idea?" ”
Lu Xiaosan sighed and said, "I don't care, I want to eat, I'm starving." ”
Lu Xiaoer looked at Lu Xiaosan helplessly, sighed, and said, "Then I'll try it." ”
Lu Xiaosan smiled, stood up, and followed Lu Xiaoer towards the shop selling roast chicken in the town.
Two young boys stood in front of the shop full of roast chickens, and the stove inside was roasting some broiler chickens that had just been seasoned.
The charcoal fire is red, the roast chicken is golden, and the two little teenagers are salivating.
It's just that after wandering for a long time, the two little boys still didn't dare to go up and really exchange their swords for chickens to eat.
Lu Xiaosan was probably hungry, hesitated for a long time, looked at the roast chickens in front of him, thought about it, walked to the counter, and said sincerely: "Shopkeeper, please take a roast chicken, we are cold and hungry, probably about to starve to death, if you don't have other opinions, please hurry up." ”
Lu Xiaoer: "......"
Which bastard taught you to eat white food so justifiably?
It's just that to Lu Xiaoer's surprise, the man who was busy in front of the oven glanced at the two of them, and then really took a freshly roasted chicken from the road, wrapped it in some oiled paper, and handed it to the two.
Lu Xiaosan probably just had a mouthful of it, but at this time, seeing that the roast chicken was really handed over, he didn't dare to reach out to take it.
The man in front of the oven smiled and said, "I know you, it was the grass that brought it to the firefly boy, you can eat it if you want." ”
"Is that true?"
Lu Xiaosan's eyes were shining as he stared at the man behind the counter.
"Of course, it's true, just let him give the money when the time comes."
"Good!"
Lu Xiaosan finally learned to say a good word.
It's just that I haven't learned the essence yet.
The good words of sword cultivation are, of course, to be said calmly.
However, a young boy who can think of exchanging a sword for roast chicken to eat probably has nothing to do with sword cultivation at present.
Lu Xiaosan smiled and picked up the roast chicken on the counter, and then grinned, while walking on the long street with sparse snow, he couldn't wait to open the oiled paper bag, pulled a piece of chicken skin, and gnawed on it deliciously.
Lu Xiaoer stood behind, looked at the man and thanked him, and then hurriedly chased Lu Xiaosan.
The two young men walked along the street for a while, and then sat down under a sheltered eaves.
Lu Xiaosan licked his fingers while spreading the roast chicken on his knees, tore a big chicken leg, and handed it to Lu Xiaoer on the side.
"Senior brother eats this."
Then he tore another chicken leg.
"I'll eat this, hee-hee-hee."
The chill was not heavy in the sparse snow of the town, and the two of them sat in the dim sky and the light overhead, eating contentedly.
Maybe not so satisfying either.
Lu Xiaosan nibbled on the chicken leg and said vaguely: "It would be nice if there were some peach blossoms stuffed to drink." ”
“......”
