『Volume 1: The Scroll of Water』 "Mountain Flowers Gradually Become Charming Eyes" Chapter 45 Reasons to be happy

The breeze blows green, and the sky is blue. Between the mountain roads, the horse team rushed all the way.

Lu Xiaohua was used to the bumps of the carriage and Shang Tianhua's ignorance of her.

Bored looking out through the gap in the curtains, she sighed to herself: it is also a trip, if you can ride Xiaobai, how beautiful it would be to run in the sun.

Thinking of this, she secretly grimaced at Shang Tianhua: this person always sits in a gloomy carriage, no wonder his personality is so gloomy.

At this moment, Shang Tianhua suddenly opened his eyes, and his cold eyes were facing the grimace of Xiaohua on the road.

Lu Xiaohua's expression froze comically all of a sudden. She felt a palpitation in her heart and quickly lowered her head.

I only heard Shang Tianhua knock on the car door and summon bangs.

Lu Xiaohua's heart was pounding, and she didn't know how he was going to deal with herself. But I heard him lightly order, "Let's eat." Then, there was no movement.

Lu Xiaohua peeked and saw that he continued to practice like an old monk. She sighed secretly, but also a little annoyed: this man always treated her as if she were nothing, and disdained nothing she did.

Then she laughed dumbly, what's so angry about this, it's okay to ignore it. The first time he met him, he did deal with him, and as a result, she fell twice in a row. It's precisely because he disdains people that he doesn't remember her.

After a short time, Liu Hai counted as bringing a beef flatbread to each person for lunch.

Shang Tianhua took his own lunch from the window. Lu Xiaohua also hurriedly raised her bound hands to pick it up. Unexpectedly, her hands were tied for too long, her fingers were stiff, and the flatbread fell to the ground at once, just at Shang Tianhua's feet.

"It's just one for each person. After Liu Hai finished speaking calmly, he left.

Lu Xiaohua couldn't help but look up at Shang Tianhua in a slight daze.

Shang Tianhua glanced at her without moving, and then ate the burrito that had nothing to do with him.

Lu Xiaohua frowned, her hands laboriously ran over his feet, and bent down to pick up the cake. When she finally caught the cake, she suddenly remembered something:

The first meal with Brother Feng was to eat beef flatbread on horseback. At that time, she didn't know how to ride a horse at all, and it took a lot of effort to eat every bite of the cake, and she almost dropped the cake and meat to the ground, but fortunately, Brother Feng quickly picked up the cake.

Thinking of this interesting incident, she couldn't help but laugh: it seems that as soon as this beef patty reaches her hands, it will always fall to the ground.

"What are you laughing at?" Shang Tianhua, who was sitting opposite, suddenly asked.

"I won't tell you!" Lu Xiaohua grimaced at him.

Blowing the ashes on the flatbread, she carefully rolled the beef into the flatbread and ate it with a good taste.

Shang Tianhua slowly put down the cake in his hand, and his eyes were focused on her for the first time.

I saw her smiling and looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, and the joy on her face was indescribably infectious. Her countenance was no more than a delicate and medium appearance, but now her smile became bright and bright.

Shang Tianhua's eyes sank, and he secretly thought in his heart: This woman can laugh and endure the unbearable things of ordinary people, if she is not broad-minded, she is extremely scheming.

......

After lunch and a short rest, Shang Tianhua ordered to set off again. The horses traveled from noon until it was very dark, and then stopped in a field near a river.

Lu Xiaohua was finally untied and immediately got out of the car to move her body. Shang Tianhua was still sitting in the car and practicing. Lu Xiaohua pursed the corners of her mouth and said in her heart: This person is really nostalgic for his dark carriage.

In the open space, several subordinates have quickly lit a bonfire, and bangs are just burying the pot to make rice.

Removing the restraints, Lu Xiaohua walked around the camp with ease, and when she turned her head, she found that Ma Chengji was following behind. I saw that his expression was serious, and he held the handle of the knife in his hand, apparently to prevent her from escaping.

Lu Xiaohua couldn't help but look at him strangely, "I can't run away, why do you always follow me?" Everyone here knows martial arts, I don't know how many times more powerful than her, can they keep up with it so closely?

Ma Chengji snorted, but ignored her. This woman designed such a sinister array, and she had just escaped once, so if she was careful, how could it be.

Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Lu Xiaohua glanced at him and walked to the river to watch Cheng Qingxie fishing.

Cheng Qingxie is only slightly older than Ding Tingjie among the eight people, and when he just arrived at the age of eighteen, he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his expression was slightly shy.

It was already dark at this time, and he stood in the water with a torch in one hand and a spear in the other, and pulled up the corners of his trousers. With a focused expression, he went down with a spear, forking the belly of a large fish.

When Lu Xiaohua saw it, she couldn't help but cheer for him.

The corners of Cheng Qingxie's mouth curled slightly, and a trace of pride crossed his eyes, but he pretended to remain silent, took the fish off the spear, and put it in the bamboo basket beside him.

Seeing that he neatly forked a few big fish one after another, Lu Xiaohua watched it with relish. She suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Hey, you have to be more careful when you start, don't puncture the bitter gall of the fish." As soon as the gall of the fish breaks, the fish will become very bitter and difficult to eat. ”

Cheng Qingxie raised his spear and was about to fork the fish again, but he couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this: Where is the bitter gall of the fish in the fish?

Seeing that he hesitated, Lu Xiaohua suggested again: "I think you should not use a spear, just grab it with your hands." "Brother Feng has a lot of experience in fishing, and he used to catch it by hand.

Cheng Qingxie felt justified, threw the spear back to the shore, and grabbed it with his hands instead.

He held a torch in his left hand to illuminate it, and his right hand saw the right time to strike. A big fish jumping around was quickly caught in his hands. He was about to put the fish in the bamboo basket, but the fish was so slippery that it was writhed and thrown back into the water. The water splashed, and not only did he get his face covered in water, but he panicked and almost slipped.

Lu Xiaohua saw it and couldn't help but wonder. Ma Chengji behind her laughed even more, "I said Xiao Cheng, are you catching a fish, or are you being teased by a fish? You can't catch even a fish." ”

When Cheng Qingxie heard this, he glared at Lu Xiaohua angrily: It was all her bad idea, and she was laughed at again!

Seeing this, Lu Xiaohua put away her smile, "Of course you can't catch fish with one hand." I'll help you with the torch. With that, she pulled up the hem of her pants and was about to go into the water.

Ma Chengji stretched out his hand to stop her, and said solemnly: "You can't go into the water." ”

"Why?" said Lu Xiaohua.

Ma Chengji glanced at her, "You are a prisoner now." ”

"So what?" Lu Xiaohua looked at him puzzled, and then became a little clear, "Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to escape, just go and do him a small favor." ”

Ma Chengji snorted, still blocking in front of her, "You don't need to interfere in his affairs, that's what he should do." ”

"No one helps him, how can he do it alone?" Lu Xiaohua suddenly became a little angry: this person is so unreasonable, he would rather stand and watch other people's jokes than let people help.

Ma Chengji looked disdainful, "If he even needs someone to help him with this little thing, he won't be able to do other big things even better." ”

Lu Xiaohua couldn't help but bump into him and pushed him, "Get out of the way!" if you don't do something, just stand aside, don't get in the way of those who do things." ”

Ma Chengji didn't allow her to push, immediately pulled out the short knife he carried with him, and said fiercely: "If you dare to mess around again, see if I don't clean you up!"

Lu Xiaohua was startled, and then pursed her lips, "Only people who have no reason to talk about will bluff people with swords." ”

"You think I'm bluffing you?" Ma Chengji's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he raised the knife high, and was about to swing it down.

A hand suddenly reached out and held his arm firmly. He turned his head to see that Shang Tianhua had come over at some point.

Shang Tianhua said lightly: "If she wants to do it, let her do it." ”

"Sooner or later, I'll clean you up!" Ma Chengji said fiercely to Lu Xiaohua, and put away the knife stupidly.

"Who is afraid of you. Lu Xiaohua replied to him disappreciatively. In the past, Brother Feng scares people much more fiercely than you.

She didn't know that Ma Chengji really wanted to kill her just now, if Shang Tianhua hadn't stopped her, she would have reported to the Ghost Gate Pass now.

She turned around and went into the water and took the torch from Cheng Qingxie's hand. Cheng Qingxie glanced at her, saw that her eyes were clear, and made sure that she had no malicious intent, so he took advantage of the fire to catch the fish again. He switched to using his hands, and sure enough, he grasped it easily. Lu Xiaohua was cheering him on, Cheng Qingxie's strength was lifted again, and the fish basket was quickly filled.

Lu Xiaohua said to him with a smile: "These are enough, you can't eat too much, leave a way for the remaining fish to live." ”

Cheng Qingxie didn't say anything, and picked up the bamboo basket and went ashore. He grabbed a fish from the basket and threaded it on a branch to grill it.

Lu Xiaohua hurriedly shouted: "Hey, you're too disgusting, aren't you? If you don't clean up the fish, how can you eat it!"

Cheng Qingxie turned his head to look at her and asked in a muffled voice, "What to pack up?"

Lu Xiaohua snatched the fish basket from him, "I see that you won't clean it up, so I'll do it." She said to Ma Chengji, who was following behind, "Borrow your short knife and use it." ”

Ma Chengji's eyes lit up, and he asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"

"Clean up the fish, how can you get it without a knife?" Lu Xiaohua glanced at him, "Why don't you get it?" said and handed the fish in front of him.

Ma Chengji dodged to the side in disgust, "Go, go, don't stain my knife." ”

"Who borrowed me a knife?" Lu Xiaohua muttered, and was about to find someone to borrow a knife, when a delicate knife appeared in front of her.

Turning his head, he saw that the knife was handed by Shang Tianhua.

Hey, he came along. Lu Xiaohua smiled at Shang Tianhua, "Thank you, please eat grilled fish in a while." ”

Shang Tianhua was silent, and his gaze at her became deeper and deeper: Although this Kunlun junior sister does not know martial arts, her courage is extraordinary. was so bold that he quarreled with Ma Chengji, the fiercest of his subordinates, and did not back down.

Lu Xiaohua washed the fish by the water and took it back to the fire for barbecue. After a short time, the smell of fish came out. She returned the knife to Shang Tianhua and handed over a grilled fish at the same time.

"I don't eat fish. Shang Tianhua turned to leave and walked towards his carriage.

Lu Xiaohua was stunned, why did he still watch by his side for a long time if he didn't eat fish? This person's personality is really weird.

Shrugging her shoulders, she handed the grilled fish to Cheng Qingxie.

Cheng Qingxie tasted it tentatively and immediately chewed it. It's really strange that the same seasoning, in her hands, is a different delicacy.

Lu Xiaohua smiled with satisfaction and handed another grilled fish to Ma Chengji, who had been following behind him.

Ma Chengji didn't want it, but when he saw Cheng Qingxie gobbling it up, he took it hesitantly. Just took a bite, and he also munched on it. This fish is really delicious!

"Give me one too. Liu Hai finished the meal and sat down next to Lu Xiaohua.

"Okay. Lu Xiaohua agreed with a smile.

Several other people were also attracted by the aroma of grilled fish, and they all sat around the fire, waiting to eat Lu Xiaohua's grilled fish. There are many eaters, and they eat very fast, although Lu Xiaohua is quick to work, she is also a little in a hurry.

Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Lu Xiaohua was proud in his heart: when he grilled fish for Brother Feng before, he also looked at himself like this. It seems that his craft is really good. The more she thought about it, the more proud she became, and she couldn't help but hum a song.

Liu Haisuan, who was sitting next to her, said: "Miss Xiaoyu, listening to your voice, you must be very good at singing, so it's better to sing a few songs to everyone now." ”

"Good!" Lu Xiaohua responded generously. Clearing her throat, she began to sing.

Her singing voice is pure and crisp, and after listening to it, it is like drinking a sweet spring, which makes people worry about it. Everyone applauded her while eating grilled fish, and even Ma Chengji temporarily forgot about the mustard just now, and he was fascinated by it.

Lu Xiaohua sang one after another. The clear singing echoed in the night sky, drifting over the fire, into the forest, and into Shang Tianhua's carriage.

Unlike the bustle by the fire, the carriage was dimly lit.

Shang Tianhua stared at Lu Xiaohua gloomily through the car window. He was both surprised and puzzled that this woman could blend in with the unruly crowd. Looking at her relaxed expression, it doesn't seem to be fake. So, how can she, a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, and as a prisoner, be so fearless and happy?

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: such courage, coupled with her ability to set up formations, if she could take her as a subordinate, she would be a rare talent.
