In the evening, in the heavy big ding, a sheep was boiled.

Below is the firewood that is burning vigorously, the old thing is a good life, everything in the yard is arranged quite anciently, you know, almost no people use this kind of utensil to cook now.

Li Dou'er looked forward to it, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the big ding, holding two chopped firewood in his hand, his little face was smoked red, I don't know if it was because of the cultivation of martial arts, he followed Cao An to eat and sleep in the open, across the mountains, but this little face is still carved in pink and jade, even much better than when I saw it in the village before.

The meat is fragrant all over the courtyard, and those with a lower cultivation realm can even be directly attracted by this fragrance to their own qi and blood, becoming more active, after all, there is a sheep demon stewed here, since the last time he tasted the taste of the hot pot in the purple cloud rack, Changqing has a different kind of love for mutton.

When he went out to buy vegetables, he sold some of the treasures he had accumulated that he couldn't use, exchanged them for some money, and specially selected a sheep demon with the most vigorous blood and brought it back.

The fresh fragrance of mutton, abundant qi and blood, tickled the taste buds of diners, Cao An had expected such a situation early in the morning, and raised his hand to lay an enchantment around the courtyard, which was a rare leisure time for the three of them, and they didn't want to be bothered by others.

"Can't wait, right?"

Li Dou'er smiled, she had already swallowed her saliva many times, and when she heard Cao An ask, she nodded busily, like a chicken, Cao An stood up from the recliner with a bone, put the scenery in her hand on the table, rolled up her sleeves and strode up, stretched out her hand and beckoned on the big ding.

"Alright, let's start eating." Saying that, he started directly, and brought out the stewed sheep in the big ding, Chang Qing ran with the big pot that had been prepared early, and in the small courtyard, two tables were set up, although it was three people eating, but the sense of ceremony was full, a large basin was placed on a table, which was the mutton that Cao An had brought down, and a table was full of condiments for large and small dishes.

One person had a big bowl, and he sat directly on the side and ate it.

"I don't know if the heavy prince and Princess Fengyang have returned." While eating, Chang Qing thought of Shen Chong, not to flatter Cao An, but that there were only a few people he originally knew, and now that everyone was gathered here to eat delicious food, he naturally thought of Shen Chong, who was also recognized by Cao An as his own.

"With Shen Chong's current strength, ordinary martial artists can't help him at all, even if he dispatches the Heavenly and Human Realm, that puppet is enough to deal with it, everyone has their own chances, there is no need to interfere too much, we just need to do our own thing, I have tried my best to help those who can help, and the rest depends on Shen Chong himself."

Cao An's mood was not affected, and he said in a calm tone.

For Cao An's attitude, Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, there was a faint trace of awe and fear in his heart, not simply because of Cao An's words and attitude, but in this specific environment, a feeling formed by a person's mentality, words, and momentum.

He didn't feel that his relationship with Cao An could be compared to the heaviness that accompanied him from his weakest childhood, a kind of determination and ruthlessness that could never be changed by individual emotions and bonds, just like ...... Just like when facing the catastrophe of heaven and earth that day, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is there, and it will not weaken or increase by a cent.

All you can do is rely on yourself.

"What do you think? Eat it quickly, or you will be eaten up by Xiaodouer in a while. ”

Chang Qing came back to his senses, "Okay. ”

Throwing off those thoughts in his mind, he looked at Cao An again out of the corner of his eye, but found that everything before seemed to be an illusion, Cao An was still the same Cao An, the Cao An who could calmly deal with no matter how big the problem was, and found a way to crack it, like Cao An who had no temper and could make you give complete trust.

Syllable!

A soft sound interrupted Chang Qing, it was the sound of Li Dou'er having finished eating and putting down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Big brother, I have a question."

"You say!" Cao An ate slowly, this was just an illusion in his movements, but in fact, he was not slow to eat.

"Do they really exist in the Secret Kingdom?" Li Dou'er held his cheeks curiously, although he didn't show anything along the way, but Cao An still heard it from his words, this obedient child was still homesick after all, for him, home is the village, but the village is gone, and it is inconvenient for the dead to mention it, so the secret kingdom has become the best entry point.

"Homesick?"

However, Li Douer's answer was beyond Cao An's imagination.

"No, I'm thinking about a question, but I don't have an answer, that is, I have a lot of friends, a lot of teachers, and a lot of people in the secret kingdom, and each of them is so real, flesh and blood, just like the big brother and Uncle Chang I met here."

Cao An vaguely felt that this question might have gone beyond what Li Dou'er should ask at this age, but it was extremely important, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at Li Dou'er calmly, and motioned for him to continue.

"So which side is real? Or is it true on both sides? When I was very young, I asked the village chief this question, and he had a very ugly face, and he told me very seriously that this side is real, and that it was like a dream, and that I had to carry the reminder device he gave me in my arms when I fell asleep, and that I must come out when the time comes. ”

"But he never told me why, he never went to the secret kingdom, the whole secret kingdom is only I can enter, just like in the whole secret kingdom, only I can come out, for me, which side is true and which side is false? It seems to be all the same. ”

Chang Qing stopped what he was doing and frowned.

"Can you grow up in the secret kingdom of your mouth?" The two exchanged a lot along the way, and Li Douer's so-called secret kingdom was also understood by Changqing.

This is the most direct and fundamental sign, where you grew up, which side is naturally true.

"It's the same, when I come back from the secret kingdom, my body will return to the way it was before entering the secret kingdom, and when I wake up in the secret kingdom, my body will return to the way it was when I first went out, the worlds on both sides, my body and age are about the same, recently I seem to faintly feel that the world is calling me, it should be almost a day past."

Li Dou'er's words made Cao An's face change slightly.

The village chief hadn't talked about Li Dou'er and this problem before......
