Chapter 70: The Honeymoon
When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the lake, the two of them stretched out their arms lazily and opened their hazy sleepy eyes.
When Xu Yue'er saw that she was disheveled, she immediately blushed and began to dress in a panic.
"Don't wear it weirdly and troublesomely, you'll have to take it off later. "A certain great god is not shocking, and he is dying.
"What nonsense in broad daylight. Xu Yu'er was speechless, how could this master be so rogue/rogue, she couldn't do this thing of prostitution during the day.
"It's time for us to go back, we haven't returned overnight, and it's inevitable that the house will be remembered. Xu Nuo'er thought about it, and it seemed that she had eloped with a certain master without explaining it clearly, and Xiaocui was inevitably worried.
"There are very few people who can really worry about us, and the rest are just indiscriminate, and many things in this world are different from what they seem on the surface. Mo Xingchen smiled faintly, after so many years of stumbling and rolling, he has seen people's hearts very thoroughly.
"Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat game. Mo Xingchen smiled and hugged Xu Nuo'er.
"Hurry up and let go of Nuo'er, let others see it and laugh at it!" Xu Nuo'er looked around sheepishly, she didn't want to accept the strange eyes of others.
"Don't be afraid, there are people here, and even if there are people, they won't dare to laugh at you. Mo Xingchen comforted the little woman in his arms mysteriously.
"By the way, we haven't returned the boat to anyone yet, so why don't we just leave?" Xu Nuo'er suddenly remembered something, raised her head from Mo Xingchen's arms, and said very seriously.
"Just leave it here, he'll pick it up later." Mo Xingchen hesitated for a moment and said lightly.
Xu Yu'er stopped making a sound, hid in the arms of a certain master and completely pretended to be dead.
Only occasionally peeked in the direction they were going, only to see Mo Xingchen carrying her towards the other end of the lake.
Walking through the soft green meadows, there is a low bush in front of you, and the jungle is crawling with thorns and wildflowers.
"Huh, there are hills here?" Xu Yu'er was fascinated by the sight in front of her, and couldn't help but raise her head and ask in surprise.
"Well, this used to be the place where our Fuwang Mansion hunted by itself, in order to transform a paradise for you, I plan to stop hunting in the future, there are hares, sika deer, and all kinds of birds and other fierce beasts.
"Huh, then you still brought me here, we won't be treated as breakfast, right?" Xu Yu'er struggled to jump down. Hearing Mo Xingchen say this, she seemed to have smelled the smell of danger, and she didn't want to be buried in the belly of the beast.
"Why don't we go back, you don't have weapons with you, and I'm unarmed, if you really meet a ruthless guy, do you think any of us can deal with it?" Xu Yu'er looked at Mo Xingchen with his bare hands, and he didn't have any confidence at all, so he couldn't help but persuade.
This is a primeval forest, and the forest is full of low bushes, and the rest are towering thousand-year-old trees. The branches of several nearby trees are intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves stretched out like large turquoise parasols, even obscuring the blue sky.
Huge and ancient red cedars appeared in front of the two of them, and the thick and strangely shaped branches coiled around the trees like dragons. The breeze passed, and the branches and leaves rattled, like the sigh of the gods.
The two walked through the forest path, the artemisia grass more than one person tall was lush green, and all kinds of flowers were dotted among them, smiling in the wind, and a red brocade pheasant fluttered and flew up from the grass, startling Xu Yu'er. When it became clear that it was this beautiful little guy who was funny, he couldn't help but giggle.
After walking through the rugged dirt road, he came to the stream, the water of the stream was crystal clear, Xu Yu'er leaned down, and couldn't help but hold his hand and drink it.
"It's so cool and sweet, do you want to taste it?" Xu Yu'er motioned for Mo Xingchen to take a sip as well. Mo Xingchen frowned slightly, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of Xu Nuo'er, and he also squatted down and took a sip of water and tasted it, the taste was good, it was no worse than the Longjing he drank on weekdays.
From time to time, a fresh breeze blows by the stream, and the wind still carries a hint of aroma, and the small fish in the stream jump up and spit bubbles from time to time. If you want to say that the reeds are static beauty, here is the dynamic beauty, and the grass, trees, mountains and rivers in front of you all describe the intoxicating beauty of nature in a vivid way.
"We're going to have breakfast here?" It seems that except for fish, there are birds and animals, we don't have tools, how can we catch them?" Xu Nuo'er suddenly became worried, there are a lot of things, but there are no tools, and he is really powerless!
"Madame, don't worry, everything is made by yourself, for the husband, I will make you a harpoon for you to see. Mo Xingchen turned around with a smile and found a small tree with branches the thickness of a child's arm.
Then he took out the dagger he carried with him from the mouth of his boot, and sharpened the branch part of the tree, like a steel fork.
"Okay, it's as simple as that, you wait here, and you'll have delicious grilled fish in a while. Mo Xingchen held the harpoon and jumped on the bluestones in the stream with a smile, those bluestones were all polished to an extremely smooth surface, which shows that there are also people here who fight fish all year round.
If it weren't for his skills, that kind of bluestone would really be able to stand firmly.
"Be careful!" Xu Nuo'er shouted from the side.
"Shhhh Mo Xingchen looked back and joked with a smile.
"Oh, well, I'm to blame for my own skills. Xu Nuo'er muttered quietly, and finally closed her mouth.
"Well, then. I saw a carp weighing more than two catties, which was thrown ashore by Mo Xingchen.
"Ahh
"No, it's still alive, jumping around!" Promise was startled, and the fish fell to the ground again.
"Haha, I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect to be so timid. Mo Xingchen teased with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm just afraid of these things, but I'm actually quite bold. The promise that was exposed by the old man was not to be outdone, and he was busy defending himself.
"Okay, my No'er is the most daring. Here's another one. Mo Xingchen's eyes were quick, and while chatting, he didn't delay him catching fish.
After a while, Mo Xingchen caught two big fish, and felt that it was about the same, so he jumped ashore.
"No'er, don't move around here, I'll go pick up some dry firewood, I won't go far. Mo Xingchen walked around the neighborhood and picked up a small bundle of dry firewood.
Xu Nuo'er sat on the sidelines, watching the great god make a fire and cook, and the scene in front of him never dared to dream even in his dreams. As noble as him, he was able to put down his body to make breakfast for himself, and he was so familiar with survival in the wild, she always thought that he was just a person who came to reach out for food and open his mouth, but she didn't expect him to know a lot, at least a lot more than her. He had been taking care of her all day, and she felt that she could not help at all.
Soon Mo Xingchen lit the fire with flint, skewered the two fish horizontally with a wet branch, and then set them on the fire and roasted them slowly.
"I didn't expect you to do this, I thought we were going to drink the wind today. Xu Yu'er looked at the god in front of him who was focusing on grilling fish affectionately, and said with a smile.
"I know this time, husband, I will go more, the lady has to give me a chance to perform, otherwise there is no room to play. Mo Xingchen smiled evilly, and he was not serious.
Forget that this man's inferiority is too heavy, you can't joke with him, otherwise you will suffer a loss.
"Alright, Noir, do you smell the scent? Mo Xingchen said with a look of hope.
"Well, it's so fragrant, but can it taste good without salt or condiments?" Xu Yu'er was a little puzzled and unsure.
"Don't worry, the taste won't be bad, in the past, as long as we set up camp by the river, we would catch a few fish to try it. Mo Xingchen recalled the past with a satisfied face.
As he spoke, Mo Xingchen broke the grilled fish off the branch and skewered it with another wet branch so as not to burn Xu Xu'er.
Xu Nuo'er took the love breakfast, and her saliva was about to flow out, and it was the first time she had smelled such a fragrant fish.
"Taste it, be careful of the burning. Mo Xingchen told Xu Er like a child.
Xu Yu'er carefully tore a small piece to make sure there were no fish bones before putting it in her mouth. Maybe it's because I'm in a particularly good mood, but I always feel that today's grilled fish is extraordinarily delicious.
"Delicious, the best grilled fish I've ever had. Xu Yu'er praised vaguely as she ate.
Mo Xingchen was very satisfied, and it was the happiest thing for the breakfast he made to be recognized by Xu Yu'er.
"What are we going to do in a while, is it time to go home?" asked Xu Yu'er as she ate.
"Nuo'er is in such a hurry to go back to the house?This king is here, is there anyone you care about in the house?" Mo Xingchen's vinegar jar overturned suddenly, and he asked sourly.
Xu Nuo'er smiled flatteringly, and hurriedly explained: "It's true that the prince that Nuo'er has been most involved in is here, and there is a Xiaocui in the mansion who can't be remembered, after all, we are like sisters, and Nuo'er can't be a friend." ”
"Well, this is also reasonable, but Xiao Cui is so smart that she can guess that I kidnapped you away when she thinks about it, she shouldn't be too worried, as for Xiao Cui's personal safety, there will not be so many people in the palace who dare to give her small shoes to wear. Mo Xingchen said truthfully.
"Well, when the prince said this, Nuo'er was really relieved, but is it okay for the prince not to go to the court? Will he be blamed?"
"I have taken a seven-day leave of absence, and in order to complete the task of the queen mother, this is also a helpless move. Mo Xingchen took advantage of it and behaved obediently.
Almost choked Xu Yu'er to death, is this still a helpless move? So how unpopular she must be, but looking at his tireless appearance, how can he not see the helplessness at all.
Xu Nuo'er was indignant in her heart, but she had a contented smile on her face. She is like a cat, as long as the owner feeds her, just find a sunny area to sleep comfortably, she is quite satisfied, there is no way she does not have too long ago ambitions, nor too big ideals and ambitions, as long as a simple little happiness can wake up from dreams.
After eating grilled fish and drinking some stream water, the two of them finally filled their stomachs. Mo Xingchen had no intention of going back, so he took Xu Xu'er's little hand and continued to move forward.
Xu Nuo'er didn't say much, she knew that when she asked more, he didn't have serious words to answer her, so she could only pretend to be stupid, where he led her, she obediently followed, not saying much, so as not to find herself boring.
Seeing that they were halfway up the mountain, the low shrubs had been left behind, and in front of them was a lush camphor forest, and the scenery here was more charming than the one below.
Through the forest, Xu Yue'er saw a fenced courtyard surrounded by wooden stakes, "There are still homes here?" and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Look, don't you know. Mo Xingchen took her hand and walked towards the fence yard.
