Drops of grease dripped into the fire with only red coals left, and puffs of smoke rose and bursts of fragrance came, and the two people who had long been eager to see through the food in their hands swallowed their saliva in unison.

Li San'er said with a smile: "Little Brother Chen, I see it's almost there, let's eat!"

Chen Suisui looked at the golden roasted pheasant, licked his tongue and said, "Don't worry, wait a while, wait for me to add some good things." ”

After speaking, he handed the wooden stick in his hand to Li San'er and said, "Brother Li, help me get it first." ”

Li San'er, who had endured a lot of hardship, just brought the pheasant to his mouth, heard Chen Suisui say this, regardless of the heat, he took a bite first, clenched his teeth, panted slightly, took the wooden stick handed over by Chen Suisui with his left hand, but his mouth was not idle, and after trying it with his tongue, he sucked the large piece of chicken in his mouth and chewed it in a big bite.

Chen Suisui took out a paper bag from his body, opened it carefully, put his thumb and index finger and middle finger together, pinched a handful of small pieces from the paper bag, and said to Li San'er: "Brother Li, quickly lift the chicken over." ”

Li San'er, who was busy chewing, hummed, raised both wooden sticks, and asked vaguely, "Little Brother Chen, what is this?"

Chen Suisui put his hand on the roast chicken, raised it slightly, and then slightly activated the internal force, so that what he sprinkled fell evenly on the roast chicken, and motioned for Li San'er to turn over, he sprinkled it again, nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Li will be tired of roasting for a while." ”

After speaking, he lightly wrapped the paper bag again, stuffed it into his arms, patted it twice, took the pheasant handed over by Li San'er, and said with a smile: "This is some salt and a little other spice, sprinkled on the barbecue, it will be more delicious." ”

Li San'er, who had already smelled something different, gave Chen Suisui a thumbs up, and praised him: "It's still the little brother who has prepared it completely, and as soon as this spice is sprinkled, the taste is different." ”

Chen Suisui smiled and roasted the pheasant in his hand a few times, put it in front of the tip of his nose and smelled it, he couldn't bear it anymore, he glanced at Li San'er, and just saw Li San'er doing the same action, the two laughed, and started eating.

This spice was prepared for him by Yuan Xi before Chen Suisui left, Yuan Xi knew that Chen Suisui would definitely be reluctant to spend money, so he prepared some spices, and he might be able to use them.

At that time, Yuan Xi patted Chen Suisui on the shoulder and said to him, where there are many mountains, we can't starve to death, and we can still satisfy our hunger, don't you say?

Chen Suisui nodded, but he knew in his heart that Brother Yuan understood him.

When roasting chicken, Li San'er told Chen Suisui how he followed the Zhang family team all the way from Heifeng Village to Niujiao Mountain.

Chen Suisui was stunned for a moment, and held back for a long time before he said a sentence, "Brother Li, it seems that you have to eat my meal." ”

Li San'er knew that Chen Suisui didn't blame herself, but she was still a little embarrassed in her heart, and in the end, the two just replaced the wine with water and drank a few more sips.

And the title of "Little Brother Chen" is the most pleasant and comfortable name for Li San'er after the wine jar in his hand touched the water hyacinth a few times.

What a young man, not to mention it, he seems to be inferior.

He didn't know that Chen Suisui also liked his title the most.

Did Chen Suisui think about Li San'er's identity as a bandit? Have you ever thought about it, does starving Li San'er count it as eliminating harm for the people? Does his stuttering count as aiding and abusive?

These old people didn't think deeply, but in front of him, he felt that he couldn't bear to watch this poor man steal again because he was hungry.

With a single effort, half a pheasant may be able to change a person.

Soon, half of the pheasant in the hands of the two was left with a bone rack, and Chen Suisui, who was carefully gnawing on every small piece of chicken bone, glanced at Li San'er with some embarrassment, but found that the eldest brother had even chewed some chicken bones and swallowed his stomach.

Li San'er said with a smile: "Don't think that when a thief eats and drinks spicy food, it is the day of the dragon's head, a little minion like me can't eat a few times a year, plus there are many brothers, not all of them rush to eat meat that time." ”

Chen Suisui couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you hunt? There are a lot of prey in the mountains, isn't it enough to eat more?"

Li San'er spit out a mouthful of broken bones, picked up the wine jar and subconsciously stretched out to Chen Suisui, Chen Suisui smiled, picked up the gourd and touched it.

Li San'er took a sip of water, looked at the few chicken bones left in his hand, and said in a low voice: "If hunting is so easy, I won't be so miserable along the way, little brother Chen, you have a unique skill, and fighting some pheasants and hares is just a casual thing, but our gang of thieves will have some real skills, except for the dragon head, there are not a few, but they just rely on the strength of the crowd to bully honest people." More than 10 of us have been working in the mountains for most of the day, and it is very fortunate that we can hunt a few prey, and besides, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, and we don't dare to run around, don't because of a rabbit, we have become the food of the tiger and hungry wolf, then it will be eight lifetimes of blood mold, and there are really brothers on our mountain who have been taken out by wolves, like that, not to mention how miserable it is, the dragon head does not dare to destroy the group of beasts. ”

Sighing heavily, Li San'er began to carefully gnaw on the remaining chicken bones.

Chen Suisui took a wooden stick and pulled a few coals, the embers were not much, and he filled the remaining dry firewood into it, a few wisps of green smoke rose up, and then it became thicker, Li San'er was choked a few times, squinted his eyes and said, "Ahem." I said Little Brother Chen, ahem, your ability to make fire is not as good as mine. ”

Turning his head and taking a sharp breath, Li San'er picked up the dry firewood that was no longer a pheasant, and blew a few mouthfuls vigorously, and the flames lit up.

Li San'er looked at Chen Suisui with some smugness and said: "This firewood, you can't fill it like this, you have to set it up and burn it, if you want to say this chicken, even if you don't have a stove, I know several methods, but it's not just roasting." ”

Chen Suisui looked at the jumping flames and said with a light smile: "Brother Li, we can go down the road for a while, or let's go together, but you still have to go back to Erlong Mountain?"

Li San'er glanced at Chen Suisui and asked in a low voice, "Little Brother Chen, don't you dislike me for being a thief?"

Chen Suisui didn't look at Li San'er, just casually pulled the charcoal with a stick to play, and said softly: "Brother Li, if you are not a thief from now on, it is naturally the best, but if you are not a thief, you will starve to death, I can't do anything, after all, we can eat and drink together with you for a few days, but I don't have the ability to give you a means to make a living, Brother Li, in fact, I am really just a peasant boy, and when I return home, I am afraid that I will also plough the fields and rely on the sky to eat." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Suisui looked at Li San'er and said seriously: "But, Brother Li, I still hope you don't become a thief, after all, it's really not good!"

Looking at the clear eyes, Li San'er's gaze was a little evasive, he felt that he was not worthy of sitting with such a young man, and he was also eating meat and talking about water.

He muttered: "Little brother, big brother said something from the heart, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, and you will definitely soar in the future, I have seen a lot of young people like you, not to mention your martial arts, it is this talk and knowledge, there are few people who can talk about it and one-tenth of you, and there are not many people who are lucky enough to be able to read and write with Mr. Private School." ”

Chen Suisui didn't speak, because he understood what Li San'er said, if there was no Mr. Tao, maybe he Chen Suisui was kneeling on the official road now, begging the good Samaritans in the past to give him a little help to treat his mother's illness.

Rubbing the gourd in his hand, he thought about it, before returning home, he must go to the town to give Mr. some good wine, be more diligent, and then give Mr. some game to open meat, he has been out for so long, Mr. is afraid that the bird will fade out.

It was the height of summer, although it was nightfall, the sky was not cold, but Chen Suisui still liked the feeling of this fire roasting on his face, the chicken bones were finally gnawed clean by the two, Chen Suisui looked at the handful of chicken bones piled up next to him and said: "Brother Li, tomorrow tomorrow I will go up the mountain to catch a few, while there is, we will eat enough." ”

At this time, Li San'er was still thinking about Chen Suisui's words before, he didn't respond, but stood up silently, walked to the river, squatted there, first wiped his hands, then bowed a handful of water, and began to wash his face.

Chen Suisui didn't expect Li San'er, a thief, to be so particular, just wash his hands after eating, and even wash his face and face.

looked at his hands, which were also oily, he also stood up and walked to the river, and when Li San'er finished washing, he was also ready to wash.

Li San'er, who was refreshing, turned his head to look at Chen Suisui beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Little Brother Chen, although I am not a big leader, but I have also done a lot of bad things with the leader, fortunately, I Li San'er is not very bold, I have not done the murder and over-goods, at most it is to run errands, today I heard the words of the little brother, I also have to change my mind and be a new person, this thief, I am not right, that is, I am going to be blinded by people to ask for food, and I am not a thief." ”

Chen Suisui, who had already squatted down to wash his hands, heard this and grinned: "Brother Li, this is a good thing, but you have thought about it, what are you going to do in the future?"

Borrowing the water in his hand, Li San'er brushed his hair, squatted down, and said to Chen Suisui: "Go home and farm, even people like Brother Chen think that farming is nothing, what am I afraid of as a man in his thirties?"

Chen Suisui asked casually, "Then why did Brother Li go up the mountain in the first place?"

Li San'er sighed and said, " When there was little more to do, I went to the school to read for two years, this mind was crooked, I was not willing to do the work facing the loess every day, and then my father and mother died, I was idle alone, the field was also barren, the harvest was not good, there happened to be a bandit to fight the autumn wind, I saw that this is very good, with a knife around you can eat food in vain, then a thought of the difference between the grass for the coward, and then later, the bandits are also constantly fighting, I am afraid of death, every time I hide behind, in fact, everyone knows it, it is the leaders who are desperate, let's talk a few times to forget it, the two dragon heads of Erlong Mountain are powerful, and I became a person of Erlong Mountain。 ”

Chen Suisui remembered that Li San'er ran out of Heifeng Village, so he asked curiously: "Brother Li, then how did you get to Heifeng Village?"

Li San'er scratched his head and said: "Our Zhuangzi, between Heifeng Village and Erlong Mountain, when the two dragon heads of Erlong Mountain and the big boss of Heifeng Village fought for territory, Shi Da was one against two, slightly inferior, and lost a piece of territory, but the dragon felt that Shi Yidao kept his hand, and suspected that he had any conspiracy, so he sent me to be a fine worker." ”

Chen Suisui washed his face, shook off the water, and said "um", without asking why he chose Li San'er, got up and walked back to the fire to borrow the embers to roast the fire.

Li San'er followed, sat on the side and continued: "In order to prevent me from really joining the Black Wind Village, the dragon head threatened me at that time, if I did something sorry for Erlong Mountain, they would use my family's Zhuangzi to pay off the debt. ”

Speaking of this, the eyes of this man in his thirties turned red, he took a deep breath, he said to Chen Suisui: "Little Brother Chen, I don't deserve this thief, but my Li San'er's life may not be able to stay, if I don't go back to Erlong Mountain to resume my life, I am afraid that the two dragon heads will attack my Zhuangzi in anger, but if I go back to Erlong Mountain, let's not say that I am not a thief, with the temper of the dragon head who was hurt by the young man, I am afraid that I Li San'er is also in calamity." ”

With a long sigh, Li San'er lay down with him and looked up at the sky.

Only then did Chen Suisui remember what Li San'er had said to himself before, "Chen Shaoxia, please help me." ”

Chen Suisui didn't speak, after all, it wasn't as easy as giving Li San'er a few bites, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that Niujiao Mountain came, and Li San'er swore that the cottage people went to the empty building, and there was no trace of killing, where did this person go?

Chen Suisui thought of the girl who looked about the same age as him, and the person who looked at him coldly with a bow and arrow, no matter how he looked at them, these two didn't look like a bandit leader.

There is also the woman named An Xiaodao, who said that the roadblock robbery was just for fun, and he couldn't figure it out how to think about it, and there were still people who liked to play with this, and there was such a large group of people to play with her.

It's like playing at home.

He glanced at Li San'er, who was stunned, and asked softly, "Brother Li, have you ever heard about the gang of bandits in Niushou Mountain after you went down the mountain?"

Li San'er sat up when he heard this, crossed his legs and thought: "I inquired, I heard that I was dismissed by that eldest sister, and everyone divided the food and went to their own things, I didn't believe it too much when I heard it, who knows if it was a new trick they played in Niushou Mountain." ”

Chen Suisui asked thoughtfully and casually: "I heard that the original leader of Niushou Mountain was not this little girl. ”

Li San'er nodded and said, "I only found out after I came this time." ”

Li San'er was a little curious, why did this young man inquire about Niushou Mountain? Isn't Fang Cai talking about Erlong Mountain? Now I am afraid that the only person who can save his life is the young man in front of him.

Could it be that he has seen the wrong person, and he doesn't want to help himself?

Chen Suisui sighed lightly and said, "Brother Li, if Erlong Mountain loses its dragon head, what will the others do? Will they go home to farm like you?"

Li San'er was stunned, where did he think about so many things? I don't know what the future road is, how can I have the heart to take care of others.

Chen Suisui continued: " According to what you said, although there are many people on these two dragon mountains, there may not be many people who may fight, I fought with one of the big dragon heads last time, his skills are indeed not too powerful, and the other dragon head was injured, I am afraid that there is no strength to fight, Brother Li, I can go up the mountain with you, but I can't kill people, I won't kill people, if I can reason with your dragon head, it's best to do it if it doesn't make sense, it's nothing more than to let the dragon head suffer a little more, but after we go down the mountain, it's hard to guarantee that the dragon head won't find you trouble。 ”

Li San'er took a breath, his thinking seemed to be a little simple, and he asked with some puzzlement: "Little Brother Chen, don't you eliminate harm for the people?"

Chen Suisui shook his head and said, "Brother Li, I can't kill people, let's think of a way?"

Li San'er rolled his eyes and patted his thigh and said: "Why am I so stupid, I said Little Brother Chen, with your ability, it is not a problem to capture that dragon head alive, and when the time comes, you can just send them to the official mansion? As for the other bandits, without the big dragon head, won't the people in this official mansion be able to deal with it?"

Chen Suisui scratched his head and said: "It's also a way, but I don't want to go to the government, my master said, I can't reveal the details of his old man, and when the people in the government ask me where this skill comes from, it will be troublesome." ”

Li San'er frowned and thought for a while, then said tentatively: "Otherwise, how about giving me Li San'er this merit of suppressing bandits?"

Chen Suisui asked, "What do you say?"

Li San'er squatted up, picked up a small stone and played with it, and said: " As long as you tie up the people, escort me to Xinling City, and then I go to take people to invite merit, and say that there is a master who went up to Erlong Mountain to catch the dragon's head, and let me send it to the government, anyway, that Yuan Lai doesn't know your details, I will say that you are a disciple of the Gaomen faction who traveled down the mountain, and escorted the caravan with chivalry, and felt that the Erlong Mountain thieves were causing trouble to the people, so they went up the mountain to capture the thieves, as for me, just tell the truth, I don't ask the government to give me any reward, just ask for a peace. ”

Speaking of this, Li San'er raised three fingers and said with a straight face: "Brother Chen, please rest assured, I, Li San'er, swear to the sky that I will never reveal your identity in the slightest, if I violate this oath, I, Li San'er, will not die well." ”

Seeing Li San'er's sincere words, Chen Suisui nodded and said, "Then do what Brother Li said, I am also very happy to be able to do something good." ”

Li San'er nodded and said, "Brother Chen is chivalrous, Li San'er admires it." ”

Chen Suisui shook his head lightly and said: "Brother Li is polite, I dare not be ashamed, you come to tell me about the situation of Erlongshan Cottage, when the time comes, you are in the light, I am in the dark, let's take down the Yuan brothers." ”

Li San'er snorted, picked up a few stones, and began to talk to Chen Suisui about the terrain of the cottage.

The night is deep, the bright moon rises into the sky, the silver glow sprinkles to the clear river water, Chen Suisui sits by the river, hugging his knees, looking at the moon in the water.

The water is in front of him, but the moon is still so far away, and the joke of right and wrong before leaving is like a seed that sprouts in Chen Suisui's heart.

He didn't go to Oxhorn Mountain, because he didn't know what he could do if he went, and he didn't really seek revenge, just to take a look at the little girl and tell her that his brother might have forgiven her and let her stop blaming herself.

Chen Suisui didn't have the guts, although he wanted to go.

He once told himself that one day he would figure it out and have the courage, and then go to Niujiao Mountain and tell the girl, I have seen you before, it doesn't matter if you don't remember me, I'll tell you that this is how it happened.

He wanted to tell her that my name was Chen Suisui.

I seem to like you very much!

A sage once said, what is like?

It's probably 10,000 years at a glance!

Pity......

Chen Suisui threw a stone into the water, and the moon in the water was broken and rounded.
