Night. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)
The moon sinks and the stars are scarce. A light rain. The deep mountains and old forests are particularly lonely under the cover of night.
The drizzle continued to fall on the dense branches and leaves, like a lover's intimate murmur, making a delicate 'rustle' sound. Beneath the spread canopy of a towering tree, a red bonfire burns brightly, driving away the darkness and igniting the warmth in people's hearts.
The four-pole array flags were planted around the tree, and the rising spiritual light formed a faint light curtain to block the raindrops that flowed down the branches and leaves. On the bonfire, a pair of dexterous hands are roasting the fragrant delicacy, golden roe deer meat, with several carefully prepared spices, under the red flame, the skin flows down the dripping crystal oil, falling on the red charcoal fire, out of the 'zizi' sound, a faint white smoke floats up, accompanied by a rich meat fragrance coming out, the fragrance is unique, making people smell the index finger move!
A pair of eyes stared at the roe deer on the bonfire, mostly not enough to press the anxious heart, when will they be able to enjoy the delicious food?
"This guy used to be a cook?"
Ji Xiaowen, who deliberately distanced herself, stretched out her delicate little tongue and licked her lips, muttering in her heart. She didn't have the concentration of Senior Sister Qin Ke sitting next to her, and when she smelled the rich smell of meat, her stomach was already growling uncontrollably.
On the other side, in addition to the young man who was roasting delicious food by the bonfire, there were five people and a dog, all staring intently at the roe deer meat that was constantly roasted on the fire.
Ji Xiaowen saw Fengying and Xiahou Yan with salivating faces, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Traitor!" The girl felt very uncomfortable when they bowed their heads in front of the food and stayed with the guy they hated.
"Alright. ”
Huo Xuan sighed and took out more than a dozen dishes from the storage belt, as well as a boning knife. He carried his knife like a fly, and in the sound of 'swish', pieces of roe deer meat were cut off and fell into the dishes placed in front of him. The golden roe deer meat is of the same thickness, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which makes people have a great appetite at a glance.
Half of the roe deer was shaved, and the meat was already full of all the dishes. Huo Xuan threw the bone to the demon dog who was 'snapping' in the air, and the latter jumped into the air with his tail in his mouth, picked up the bone and went to the side to eat a large piece.
With half of the roe deer left, Huo Xuan waved his knife and cut it in half, handed half to Ah Tie, and said with a smile: "Ah Tie has a large amount of rice, and it is not pleasant to eat in small bites, so let's hold it and gnaw it!"
Ah Tie touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "The young master still understands me." He was not polite and reached out to take it.
"That's half a piece left......"
"Of course it's mine!"
As soon as Huo Xuan started to speak, he saw that the ingots were like lightning, and snatched the remaining half of the roe deer meat. This little Taoist first took a big bite, his mouth was full of greasy, and he shouted deliciously, and then said: "I don't have a small amount of food, so I don't need dishes, please take care of yourself." ”
Huo Xuan shook his head and smiled, and said to the others, "Let's start." As he said this, he looked at Kazekage, winked at the other, and quietly pointed behind him with his hand.
Fengying immediately understood, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Qin Ke and Ji Xiaowen, "You guys are coming over for dinner." She knew that there was a problem between the second daughter and Huo Xuan, and she was afraid that they would not come because of their face, so she called Yu Linglong to go and pull Qin Ke and Ji Xiaowen over.
Qin Ke didn't have anything, and sat down indifferently. Ji Xiaowen was very awkward, half-pushing, half-pushing, and then sat down.
"I haven't made it for a long time, and I don't know how it tastes, everyone try it while it's hot!" Huo Xuan greeted with a smile. He picked up a piece of roe deer and put it in his mouth.
As soon as Huo Xuan made a move, the others were not polite and ate one after another. Not to mention Yuanbao, Ah Tie, and Yu Linglong, they have all tasted Huo Xuan's craftsmanship. The other four were all first-timers, and when they picked up a piece of roe deer meat and put it in their mouths, their expressions and actions were different.
"It's delicious!" Kazekage's eyes lit up, and he directly picked up the plate in front of him, ignoring the image of a lady, and ate heavily.
"It's delicious! Alas, it's a pity that it's missing!" Xia Houyan squinted at his peach blossom eyes, and tasted it in small bites, his handsome face was not like a man's, revealing an expression with endless aftertaste.
Qin Ke originally only planned to taste it, but she never thought that after she ate one piece, she couldn't help but pick up the second piece. Ji Xiaowen tasted it, the roe deer meat was half crispy and half tender, it melted in the mouth, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the taste was indescribable!
She ate several more pieces in a row, before she looked up at Huo Xuan, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, you shouldn't have put any medicine in this meat, right?"
"There are several cooking spices, and you are right when you say medicinal herbs!" Huo Xuan replied with a smile.
"It's not poisonous, right?" Ji Xiaowen thought of those disgusting things like poisonous bees and toads, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Poisonous!"
These two words were not said by Huo Xuan, but Yuan Bao took time out of his busy schedule to answer, "If you don't eat, give it to me." Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his oily hand towards Ji Xiaowen.
"Take away your dog's paws!" Ji Xiaowen picked up the dish with her right hand, protected it with her left hand like a baby, her apricot eyes widened, and she yelled at Yuanbao.
"Hey, I know you're reluctant. Yuan Bao waved his hand disdainfully, turned his gaze to Huo Xuan, and said with a smile: "There is meat but no wine, there is a fly in the ointment, Brother Huo, take some treasures and let everyone taste them!"
"Just remember it!" Huo Xuan scolded with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, there was an extra delicate wine jug in front of everyone around the bonfire, "This is my hometown's specialty Baihua Secret Brew, everyone taste it, it tastes very good." ”
"There's wine! Great, Huo Xuan, I'm welcome!"
The first person to do it was not Yuanbao, nor Ah Tie, but it was the lazy girl of Fengying. Her eyes lit up when she saw the flask, and she waved her hand to pat off the sealing mud, and the cherry took a small sip and drank it in a big gulp. Looking at her happy appearance, it is really hard to imagine that such a beautiful * woman with exquisite appearance is not inferior to jade and exquisite, but she is a complete drunkard!
In one breath, she drank most of the pot before she took a breath and praised: "Good wine!"
"Captain, good wine is for slow drinking, but you can't drink it like you. Xiahou Yan's words sounded from the side. This one is still the same as before, tasting it carefully, with an expression of enjoyment.
"Okay, Xiahou, let's do it, whoever doesn't drink it in one gulp is a bastard!" Fengying didn't give Xiahou Yan a chance to speak at all, and directly picked up the wine jug and drank it in a big gulp, and while drinking, he also looked at Xiahou Yan with provocative eyes.
Someone next to him immediately coaxed, and the ingots shouted the most happily. Although Xiahou Yan was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes and is more handsome than a woman, he is an out-and-out old man in his bones, how can he be willing to admit that he is a turtle bastard, he can't care about tasting it carefully, and he picks up the wine jug and 'cow drinks'.
The two of them drank it directly, and it could be seen that they both had some alcohol. Fengying's pretty face was slightly drunk, threw away the empty wine jug in his hand, gestured at Huo Xuan's little hand, and said, "Wine!
Mother, you're really bold enough. Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it. Huo Xuan didn't say much, and with a direct wave of his hand, more than a dozen jugs of wine appeared in front of Fengying and Xiahou Yan.
"Here, make another pot!"
Kazekage began to challenge again.
"Who's afraid of whom!"
Xiahou Yan was not to be outdone and immediately responded to the battle. The two of them just picked up the flask and drank it.
Half an hour later, Xiahou Yan's peach blossom eyes were about to drip water, his face was as red as pig liver, and his eyes were a little dull when he looked at people. On the other hand, Fengying, except for his pretty face and slightly drunk, there is nothing unusual in his expression and demeanor. In front of them, there were already seven or eight more empty flasks.
"Captain, count, count you awesome, little one...... served. Xiahou Yan finally opened an oral infusion.
Fengying smiled proudly, wrinkled his playful little nose, and said to him: "Xiahou, if you want to fight with the old lady with your little drink, it's still far away." ”
After a bit of pride, she got back to the point, looked at everyone, and said, "According to our current degree, it will take at least five days to cross Jiupan Mountain and arrive in Yuecheng. Time is pressing, and when he was leaving, Lord Qiu told him that he must rush to Yuecheng within three days, so in the next few days, we must travel day and night. ”
The flying paper crane is not fast, and it travels up to six or seven hundred miles a day. Huo Xuan and they still have to rush from the ground, in this area of undulating peaks and mountains, even if Zhu Clam is fast, he can't keep up with the paper cranes that fly directly over the peaks from the sky, plus Yuan Bao rode the demon dog, dragging behind, they went all the way today, and at night, but they only traveled more than five hundred miles. According to this degree, it will be difficult to cross the Jiupan Mountain to reach Yuecheng within five days.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will let Chihuo carry the ingots with us on the road, so that it will be faster, plus day and night, it should be almost the same as arriving in Yuecheng within three days. Huo Xuan gave his opinion.
"Well, that's it. Feng Ying nodded, and then, her big eyes flickered, she looked at Huo Xuan with a smile, and said: "This time we came out, I originally thought that we would be able to reach Yuecheng within a day, and I didn't prepare any dry food, and then we need to travel day and night, I'm afraid that I won't have time to rest, but I always have to fill my stomach, this ...... Can Huo Xuan trouble you, prepare more barbecue tonight and keep it for us to eat on the road. ”
In fact, she has a lot of dry food on her, including a few people here, and her intention is, of course, that she has tasted Huo Xuan's craftsmanship, and she can't swallow the dry food on her body. Therefore, this request was made in Kazekage, and it was unanimously approved.
"He caused us to do this...... Well, he has to be responsible for everyone's diet!" Ji Xiaowen took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and ate very pleasantly, but she didn't feel Huo Xuan's favor, in her words, this is what Huo Xuan should do.
Huo Xuan smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart. He doesn't care about this unruly girl, and there is a certain truth in saying the other party's words.
Yuan Bao was not happy when he heard this, waved his hand and threw the roe deer leg that was gnawed to the bone, wiped his oily mouth, and said to Ji Xiaowen: "Don't think about eating and drinking for nothing, Brother Huo is responsible for the barbecue, and you can get the prey!"
"Why should I go!" Ji Xiaowen retorted angrily.
"It's up to you to eat more than anyone else!"
"Are you happy? Look at your appearance, like a hungry ghost reincarnated!"
......
These two are like natural rivals, and before they could say a word, they were red-eyed and thick-necked, and they quarreled.
"Alright, alright, you guys don't argue. Kazekage opened his mouth to persuade. Huo Xuan grabbed the ingot, and Qin Ke also persuaded Ji Xiaowen to stop arguing. The two of them stopped.
"I'm the captain, I'll arrange it, so let's do it, Huo Xuan is in charge of the barbecue, and Qin Ke helps. At this point, the wind shadow grinned, stretched out his little white hand, gestured, and said, "The others will decide the winner with their fists, and the two people who lose will be responsible for getting the prey." ”
"I agree. Yuanbao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately agreed. He thinks he is a veteran of the wine industry, and his 'boxing' skills are exquisite, how could he lose to these rookies.
"Who is afraid of whom!" Ji Xiaowen said not to be outdone. She doesn't know how to draw boxing, but she's heard of it, and it shouldn't be difficult.
Others have no objection. At this time, I saw Fengying roll up his sleeves, put on a posture, and said with great interest: "One round per person, the person who loses the most is out, I'll come first." ”
Subsequently, the quiet mountains and forests on a rainy night were filled with bursts of lively hustle and bustle, all of which were 'five kui hands, eight horses, and four joyful wealth', and so on.
Half an hour later, the 'boxing' competition ended, and the result was that Yuanbao, who thought he was an 'old bird', and Ji Xiaowen, a rookie, were out, of course, that is, they went to get prey.
"Ah Tie, didn't you kid say that you can't draw fists?" Yuan Bao felt aggrieved. In the end, he was defeated by Ah Tie, an iron pimple, and he was very unconvinced.
"I have a good character, so my luck is naturally good. Ah Tie replied. In fact, he went in and out of Fengyue places with Huo Xuan in his early years, and he was already familiar with these pediatrics, even if he hadn't practiced, he had seen it, and he was quite immersed in this way, and with a little luck, he naturally defeated Yuanbao without much effort.
"That's fine. Yuan Bao muttered, stood up, and greeted Ji Xiaowen with an unwilling face, "Admit defeat and go!" The latter reluctantly stood up, glared at Yuan Bao fiercely, and said with his eyes, it's all your stinky hair!
Yuan Bao whistled, and the demon dog immediately rushed over, waving his head and wagging his tail, extremely intimate.
", you're well fed and well-fed, it's time to do something. Yuan Bao touched the's head, and the latter let out a low roar, and his body instantly swelled and became the size of a calf. Yuan Bao turned over and rode up, and with a shout, the carried him through the faint curtain of light and rushed into the light rain of the night.
Ji Xiaowen pinched out a seal in her hand at this moment, and she also turned into a flowing wind and followed. After the two left, the wine dissipated slightly, and Xiahou Yan, who was still flushed, looked at the others and said with a smile: "The two of them won't fight outside, right?"
Kazekage shrugged. This is a matter of injustice, it is impossible to say, and everything is possible.
......
Sou!
A golden light pierced the night.
The two pheasants hiding in the bushes to take shelter from the rain were immediately killed, and with a wave of his hand, the ingots put their prey into the treasure bag. He rode on the back of the demon dog, and his body was covered with mana aura, blocking all the dense raindrops. Xiao Daoye turned his head to look at Ji Xiaowen not far away, smiled coquettishly, and said: "I have hunted two roe deer and twelve pheasants, enough for everyone to eat for a day and a half, and the rest is up to you!"
Leaving the camp, Yuan Bao took advantage of the talent for a keen sense of smell, and it only took half an hour to make a big gain. However, he didn't plan to continue to make a move, so as to save 'Little Pepper' from panicking.
"Chicken belly, watch out. ”
Ji Xiaowen muttered a few words, exuded the power of divine thoughts, and searched around. Her figure began to flutter as well, heading towards a dense forest in front of her. Yuan Bao patted the on the head and followed unhurriedly. Unwilling to suffer a loss, he would rather stay more on a rainy night than raise his style and help Ji Xiaowen.
In the middle of the night, it rains heavily, and the wild beasts in the forest basically burrow into burrows and rarely come out to move. Ji Xiaowen tried her best, and it took a long time to hunt two unknown big birds. Look at the skinny prey, excluding the five internal organs and feathers, it is only half a catty of meat at most, which is not enough for one person to eat. Ji Xiaowen lamented in her heart that her hunting road is still very long.
"You're still not a man, you can't let your do you a favor!" finally couldn't help it, Ji Xiaowen opened her mouth and said to Yuanbao.
"It can help. Yuan Bao smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbed his fingers, and said, "There has to be a price." "Don't take advantage of this time to blackmail Xiao Pepper, and it is not in line with the style of Yuanbao Daoye.
"Just say it. Ji Xiaowen is also simply. She knew that if she didn't use the power of the other party's demon dog, she didn't know how long it would take to complete the task on her own. She didn't want to stay in this hellish weather for a long time.
"One prey, no matter how big or small, is a hundred spirit crystals. "Ingot made an offer.
"Why don't you grab it!" Ji Xiaowen crooked her nose angrily, directly ignored this greedy little miscellaneous hair, and continued to look for prey. Although she doesn't lack hundreds of spirit crystals, she can't let the stinky miscellaneous hair be slaughtered.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, we still have to discuss the price. Yuan Bao would not give up this business, and hurriedly drove the to follow.
A pair of rivals bargained as they went, and in the end, they still made a deal. The help search for prey, large and small, a fifty spirit crystal. Outside, this is simply an incredible sky-high price, in the words of ingots, this is still based on the affection of their companions, the 'friendship price'.
"Yuanbao, you remember, one day you will have something to ask me, when the time comes, hum!" Ji Xiaowen hatefully took out five hundred spirit crystals and gave them to Yuanbao, and said in an unkind tone. The latter didn't care at all, accepted the spirit crystal with a smile, and replied: "If there is really such a day, the sun will definitely rise in the west, and this world is over!"
Ji Xiaowen was angry, she didn't want to look at this little slut again, for fear that she would not be able to help but slap this slut.
"I've received all the spirit crystals, and I'm not working!" she yelled at the ingots.
"Don't get angry, let's get moving. Yuan Bao grinned and patted the's head, and in an instant, the's big nose sniffed around, locked in a certain direction, and kicked it on all fours, and it flew away like a sharp arrow. Ji Xiaowen hurriedly unfolded her body and followed.
Half an hour later. The prey was finally gathered, enough for the companions to eat for three days. For this reason, Ji Xiaowen paid 500 spirit crystals to the ingot, for the same reason, and I don't know if the ingots did it on purpose, the searched for small prey such as hares and pheasants, and the increase in the number of them naturally increased the reward.
Ji Xiaowen hated it so much, but she had no choice but to pay according to the order. (To be continued...!)
