Chapter 114: Please Enter the Urn (4)
Do you know that we outsiders like to eat roasted beef and mutton, which is the kind that is freshly slaughtered and then coated with a little salt, and then put some wood ginger and Shannai seasoning, and then just roast it on the fire, it seems simple but it still tastes delicious, and you will like it when the time comes. Nalan Qidi was roasting the meat while chatting with Xu Nuo'er, he wanted Xu Nuo'er to adapt to their living habits as soon as possible.
After all, the living conditions outside the Saiwai do not have to be in the Central Plains, the climate there is very harsh, sometimes wanting to eat fresh vegetables and fruits can only be a luxury, most of the time it is meat-based, he has observed it in the past two days, Xu Nuo'er is a semi-vegetarian animal, and his love for vegetables far exceeds that of meat, so he must change Xu Nuo'er's eating habits and let her adapt to the life of the desert as soon as possible.
"I only know that when people are hungry to a certain extent, everything is delicious, and if I have been here all the way, I should not be a picky eater, and I am already very happy to have something to eat. Xu Nuo'er was honest and said what was in his heart.
Hehe! Nalan Qidi laughed dryly, this promise is really not ordinary cute, it is indeed hearty and unpretentious, but this time it is really wronged her.
"Nuo'er, don't worry, I won't let you suffer these hardships next time, you follow me Nalan enlightenment will only let you enjoy Qingfu, and will not let you suffer. Nalan Qidi swore and promised.
"I don't have to enjoy Qingfu, I'm not at that age, but I really don't want to eat this kind of hardship, the key is that there is no need for this, there is a big road you don't take, you have to take a small road, you don't go to a place where there is a restaurant, you have to take a detour to a deserted place to try the primitive life, this kind of thinking is simply terrible, please don't take me next time." Xu Nuo'er crossed her arms and looked at the gradually cooked food, as if she was absent-mindedly complaining.
Nalan Qidi smiled helplessly, the little woman in front of him made him feel good, because she was not noisy or noisy, only occasionally complained, which was indeed reasonable, although they did not get along as close as lovers but not as tense as enemies, this way of getting along was already very good in his opinion. If he met someone who was crying and shouting along the way, he would have to go crazy, and he couldn't guarantee that he would not be rough. But at the moment, it seems that his vision is really good, Xu Nuo'er is different from ordinary women, she has a wisdom that ordinary people don't have.
It's good to get along with smart people, that is, you don't get tired, you don't need to say too much, you just need a hint or an expression, the other party already understands your general meaning, but there is also a little bit of anxiety, that is, you have to watch out for her to run away at any time.
But the path he is choosing now is probably a promise that he has the heart and the courage. It is a fantasy for a woman who doesn't know martial arts to break out of here smoothly, not to mention getting lost, even if she doesn't get lost, all kinds of dangerous predicaments are enough for her to cry for a night.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and the surface of the pheasant and rabbit had become golden at this time, and Xu Nuo'er's eyes were fixed on the pheasant and never left, for fear that the pheasant would flap its wings and fly away.
"Well, I'll give you a chicken leg. Nalan Qidi didn't care about the hot hands, and immediately tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xu Nuo'er.
Xu Nuo'er took it casually, "Thank you, then I'm welcome." As he spoke, he began to eat.
Enlightenment tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Caihe, who took it awkwardly and ate it by herself.
In the end, he tore off a rabbit leg and gnawed it, he was indeed hungry, he felt that today's rabbit meat was going to catch up with the dragon meat in the sky, how delicious it was.
The three of them ate with relish, no one spoke, and they were all immersed in the temptation of the food. It's also such an embarrassing identity, and it is true that you have nothing to say.
"After eating for a while, we will go around there and take the waterway to Bianzhou, and then we can go directly to Loulan with the caravan. Nalan Qidi explained the itinerary of this moment while eating.
Xu Yue'er is very anxious, the route this guy took can only be understood, no wonder Mo Xingchen has not been able to appear until now, if the two of them miss each other, I really don't know what year and month they will see each other again, thinking of this, she has no appetite at all, she was hungry just now, as if she was about to lose half her life, and at this time she was so blocked that she couldn't eat at all.
"No'er, what are you thinking, hurry up and eat, if you don't eat, I can't guarantee that there will be something to eat in a while. Enlightenment glanced at the promise in the distance, half concerned and half threatening.
Xu Nuo'er looked sideways at Qiqi when she heard this, smiled faintly, and did not speak, because in her opinion, these threats seemed pale and powerless, she had never been afraid at all, and people who were not afraid of death would still be afraid of threats?
However, Xu Nuo'er still put the chicken leg in her mouth and chewed it mechanically, because whether she was looking for a chance to escape or waiting for rescue, she had to have a good body, and if she fell, then it would be useless for anyone to save her.
"That's right, you have to eat a little, and you have the strength to walk, otherwise when you can get to Loulan, I don't want you to suffer more on the road." Enlightenment said insincerely.
Caihe on the side felt faintly disgusting, this guy still can't make people eat, I've seen disgusting, I've never seen such a disgusting thing, it's really a must. Talking nonsense with her eyes open has reached the point of reaching the pinnacle, but she is beyond her reach.
"The mountain song is singing, the mood is good!" With a brisk and loud mountain song, a mountain man carrying firewood walked over with a smile.
Xu Nuo'er felt a burst of joy in her heart and finally saw a living person, at least someone had seen her like this, Mo Xingchen and they smelled like this.
"Hey, big brother, what kind of place is this?" Xu Yu'er hurriedly waved and asked with a smile.
"Five miles away from here is the Niujiazhuang, we are all hunters who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and in our spare time, we will cut some firewood to sell and subsidize the family, you are a foreigner at a glance, and you will not come here to visit relatives and friends, right?"
"Ah, yes, it's passing by, we want to go to Bianzhou, but we actually passed by here, it's not far from Bianzhou, right?" Nalan Qidi asked first.
"It's not far, it's not far, it's less than half a day to get to Bianzhou by carriage, it's on foot, how can you get there at sunset, especially there are two girls, this foot is not fast. The man in the mountains was very straightforward, glanced at the three of them, and couldn't help shaking his head, feeling that none of the three of them looked like they could endure hardship, and there was no carriage to hire here, so I really didn't know if the three of them could reach Bianzhou before sunset.
"Big brother, please ask, is there an inn ahead?" Xu Nuo'er's main concern was whether she could take a break, she didn't want to die of exhaustion on the way.
"Inn? here is sparsely populated, and most of them are Orion families, where is the inn, but if you want to spend the night, you will be willing to stay in any one of them, the people here are more hospitable, but the environment is poor, not as particular as in your city. Chai Fu said as he continued to walk forward with the firewood.
"What you think is very beautiful, can he let us stay in the guest house? Even if you go to the people's house to spend the night, I'm afraid he won't even have to sleep in the cave tonight, I think the grass is not bad, the ground is a bed and a quilt, spacious enough." Caihe threw the leftover bones at will, wiped a handful of grease stains on his mouth regardless of the image, and said sneeringly.
"What are you talking about, when have I abused you, it was because there was no place to spend the night, and we will stay at the inn if there is an inn in front of us for a while, and there will be no inn, I will find a way, anyway, I will not let you live on the grass to feed the wolves." Nalan Qidi was commanded by Caihe, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and he said angrily.
"As long as there is a place to rest, anyway, I can't sleep in the cave anymore, it's cold and hard, and I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll be tortured to death before I can reach the place." "Xu Nuo'er doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, anyway, he can say whatever he wants.
"Okay, we've eaten almost enough, you can wrap the rest of the colorful lotus in something, take it on the road for backup, and use it to satisfy your hunger if you don't have a place to find food. Nalan Qidi also knew how to save money, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
The three of them packed up and rushed in the direction of the chaifu, they had been walking for two days, and if they didn't find a place to rest, even Nalan Qidi couldn't stand it, so he could only relax his vigilance for the time being, spend the night first, and talk about it tomorrow.
Not far away, I saw a poplar forest in front of me, and a few low and dilapidated thatched houses scattered in this place that could barely be called a village. Some people's yards are surrounded by fence walls, which is already relatively good.
The three of them looked full of energy, and walked along the sheep intestine path to those courtyards, the bloody remnant sun was about to set, and a few roosters and dogs barked to add some vitality to this small village.
The three of them looked at it for a long time, and there were five thatched houses in the family, and the low fence walls were a little crooked, but it was also a courtyard.
"Let's go over and see, maybe there's somewhere for us to spend the night. Xu Nuo'er suddenly came to her senses, trotted a few steps, and opened the fence door.
"Be careful, be cautious outside, you're behind me, I'll just ask. Nalan Qidi grabbed Xu Yu'er and dragged him behind him, full of protection.
Xu Nuo'er pouted, wanting to open her mouth to refute but swallowed back when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't beat it, she couldn't run away, it was better to keep a low profile, don't make trouble if you have nothing to do, Xu Nuo'er suddenly endured it and stopped talking.
Nalan Qidi knocked on the door, the paint of the two wooden doors had already peeled off, and they were already dilapidated after the erosion of the rain, lest a big hole would break out if they were buckled a few more times, so Tus knocked on the door cautiously, for fear that people would find fault with him.
"Who? Wait a minute!" After knocking for a while, there was finally a lazy voice inside, as if this person had just fallen asleep and was disturbed by their good dreams, so it was mixed with a little impatience.
"Hello, we are passing by, and we want to spend the night here, I wonder if the host's family can make it convenient?"
"Oh, it's for the night, so come in!" came a door open, and a woman in her forties came out, wearing a turban over her head and a cloth dress with white flowers on a blue background.
"Sister-in-law, my wife and I and my concubine originally wanted to go to Bianzhou, how did we want to come here and see that it was getting late, we wanted to find a place to spend the night, so I came to you to bother you for a night, I don't know if the master's house is convenient?"
The eldest sister-in-law's eyes were like silk, she looked at the three of them and then smiled heartily: "The son is polite, please come in the three!"
