Chapter 185: Dinner Night Talk
In the wooden house, the lights are bright, and a few small oil lamps illuminate the room a little dim, and under the reflection, people also look a little dim.
Bai Shu was already preparing dinner, and he was in a good mood, because he hadn't enjoyed the joy of life so comfortably for a long time, and here, he felt a touch of "home" warmth.
A treasure like the golden dragon carp is best used to stew into a rich and fragrant soup, supplemented by the medicinal materials that Bai Shu bought in Panzhou City a long time ago, as well as more or less collected by himself, and finally put a small handful of simple coarse salt, which can best lock its spiritual power and not lose it.
The soup in the ding is boiling, this is a pot of golden thick soup, the fragrance is overflowing, the whole wooden house, even the purple kite flower valley, is wafting with a rich aroma, all the spiritual power of the golden dragon carp is locked in these thick soups, and those medicinal herbs also exude the unique fragrance of herbs, this is a great tonic soup.
On the other side, Bai Shu had set up a pile of wood, several fish had been grilled to a golden brown, and the fat swim bladder was overflowing with drops of fish oil. Bai Shu sprinkled some coarse salt on top and smeared some powder from the Luoshan fruit, which the mainland used to add a spicy flavor, similar to chili powder.
Ling Xuan silently watched Bai Shu prepare dinner, as if she was watching an art performance, she didn't know why the man in front of her who was so strong even made dinner so exquisite.
She fiddled with the purple irises in her hand as if she were holding a favorite treasure.
Bai Shu told her that she could pick some purple irises and insert them into a bottle, and the bottle would be filled with some water, and the purple irises could bloom for a few more days, which Bai Shu said was "a vase." That's what they call it there. It is best placed in the house to add some life to the house.
Therefore, Ling Xuan nodded obediently, picked some purple irises, and inserted them in the bottle.
"Shu, you should like it, right?" Ling Xuan muttered to herself, looking very happy, she liked to see Bai Shu's smile, it was an extremely warm smile, every time Bai Shu smiled, she would inexplicably feel a lot safer.
"Is this the so-called sense of security?" Ling Xuan thought secretly, her face flushed slightly, "Do I really like him?"
"It's a pity......" A hint of loss flashed in Ling Xuan's eyes, "Shu, so good, how can I be worthy of him, and besides, he must love his sister very much, she seems to be called Bai Jing." ”
Ling Xuan recalled Bai Shu's eyes when he mentioned Bai Jing at that time, gentle as water, full of love, two days ago, the two chatted, and inadvertently, they talked about the sister Bai Shu said, in fact, it was Bai Jing. When Bai Shu mentioned Bai Jing, at that time, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
"How can I think so much, I saved me, and now I am still living with me in this Purple Kite Valley, I should be content, why do I still want to ...... with him"
Just as Ling Xuan was thinking wildly, Bai Shu brought a fragrant golden dragon carp soup, interrupting Ling Xuan's thoughts.
Bai Shu smiled and said, "Xuan, it's time for dinner." ”
Bai Shu said as he served Ling Xuan golden dragon carp soup.
"It smells so good. Ling Xuan looked at the rich golden soup and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to cook so well." ”
Bai Shu just smiled and said, "If it's fragrant, eat more." ”
As he spoke, he handed Ling Xuan a grilled fish, "Try the grilled fish I made, see if it suits your appetite?"
Hearing this, Ling Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "If you can cook me dinner, I will be very content." ”
Bai Shu smiled and said, "Then eat more, if it's not enough, I'll do it tomorrow." ”
"Good. Ling Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "You will do it all in the future." ”
Bai Shu was a little helpless, but he also smiled and nodded.
Bai Shu looked at the food on the table and felt that something was missing, and suddenly, Bai Shu had a flash of inspiration and took out a bottle of wine from the space bracelet.
"How can this kind of food be missing?" Bai Shu smiled.
Seeing Bai Shu take out a bottle, Ling Xuan asked with some confusion, "Shu, what is this?"
"Full of Tingfang. Bai Shu replied, "It's a very tasty drink." ”
"What is Man Tingfang?" Ling Xuan was even more puzzled.
Bai Shu smiled, and opened the "Manting Fang", and in an instant, a rich smell of wine permeated the room.
"Cough, cough, cough. Ling Xuan covered her mouth and nose and said a little strangely, "Shu, this thing smells so bad...... Is it bad, some of the fruits are bad, and they all have some of this taste. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shu looked at Ling Xuan with some surprise, and then, Bai Shu understood, it turned out that in the vast continent millions of years ago, the wine god Du Kang had not yet made wine, so Ling Xuan didn't know about wine, and of course, he couldn't smell the smell of this wine.
As for what Ling Xuan said, some fruits are also spoiled because they smell like this, because the fruits are slightly fermented in the process of decay, so they have a faint smell of wine.
Thinking of this, Bai Shu smiled and said, "It's not bad, this is our drink there, it's delicious, you can try it." ”
Hearing this, Ling Xuan was a little curious, she also wanted to taste the taste of "Man Tingfang" that Bai Shu said, but this smell made her a little resistant.
"I'd better stop drinking. Ling Xuan shook her head, "It smells weird......"
Bai Shu was not reluctant, he just held the wine bottle, eating meat and drinking wine at the same time, looking very enjoyable.
Seeing that Bai Shu was enjoying it, Ling Xuan swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and asked cautiously, "Shu, me, can I taste a little bit?"
Hearing Ling Xuan's voice, Bai Shu smiled faintly and said, "Xuan, if you want to drink, you can." With that, he handed the bottle to Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan tasted it shallowly, and in an instant, the bitter and spicy taste filled the entire mouth, which made Ling Xuan shocked, she wanted to spit it out, but looking at Bai Shu looking at her, she swallowed the wine silently, a faint burning sensation permeated her body, her face turned crimson with shame, and she returned the wine bottle to Bai Shu again and again.
She didn't understand, why Bai Shu drank such an unpalatable thing, was it because he was so different?
Bai Shu naturally saw Ling Xuan's embarrassment clearly, but he didn't laugh, he just said, "This person who can drink from Man Tingfang will feel very delicious, but if he can't drink, he will probably be the same as Xuan, so it's okay." ”
"Hmm......" Ling Xuan nodded, and after a while, she covered her head and said, "Shu, why am I a little dizzy?"
Bai Shu was also a little surprised, and said to himself, "No, you will get drunk in such a small sip?"
So, Bai Shu said, "Xuan, it's okay, maybe you're a little tired, just rest and rest." ”
Ling Xuan nodded, she didn't know why, she trusted Bai Shu more than herself, therefore, whatever Bai Shu said, she was willing to believe it, even if she knew that Bai Shu was lying to her, she was willing to believe it.
After three rounds of drinking, Bai Shu's face was a little red, he was drunk, and Ling Xuan was much more sober.
There was not much left of the incomparably rich golden dragon carp soup, and Bai Shu felt that an incomparably pure spiritual power flowed into the chaotic golden sea, and some slight dark injuries on his body also had some healing potential.
Although Ling Xuan has not practiced, she has some pure spiritual power in her body, and there are many benefits, at least it can delay aging, improve immunity, and reduce the risk of illness.
Looking at Ling Xuan, who was as lively and lovely as a deer in front of him, Bai Shu's mind was very chaotic, but if there was anything, he still had to say it.
After Bai Shu's repeated thoughts, Bai Shu still said the words that were held in his heart.
"Xuan. Bai Shu shouted Ling Xuan's name, "Can we talk?"
Hearing this, Ling Xuan was a little stunned, and immediately, her eyes were a little red, but she still smiled and said, "Shu, what do you want to talk about?"
"I ......" Bai Shu wanted to speak and stopped, "I ...... I want to open up a sea of qi for you. ”
"Qi Hai?" Ling Xuan was a little puzzled, but she guessed a little more or less, and only tentatively asked, "What is the Qi Sea?" is it where you store your divine power?"
"It's not divine power. Bai Shu shook his head, "The sea of qi is a place where spiritual power is stored, and you can cultivate if you open up the sea of qi......"
"Cultivation ......," Ling Xuan said silently, and then said, "I've heard you say it more than once. If I cultivate, will I be as powerful as you?"
Hearing this, Bai Shu smiled and said, "Yi Xuan, your intelligence will surpass me sooner or later." ”
"Shu. Ling Xuan naturally knew that Bai Shu was just coaxing her, so she asked a little seriously, "Can you tell me, why do you suddenly want to help me open up the sea of qi?"
After a pause, Ling Xuan continued, "Shu, do you want to leave me?"
Hearing this, Bai Shu was stunned, I don't know if it was because he was a little drunk, he saw the tears in Ling Xuan's eyes flowing like flowing water, especially after she said this sentence, which made Bai Shu's mood even more chaotic.
But Bai Shu knew that now was not the time to be emotional, and he couldn't give Ling Xuan anything, so he would rather be a bad person and say some things to break some of Ling Xuan's thoughts.
So, after a moment of silence, Bai Shu said, "Xuan, actually, it is only a matter of time before I leave, the reason why I want to open up the sea of qi for you is because this small continent is full of crises, and I want you to have some ability to protect yourself after I leave, so that you will not die so easily." ”
Ling Xuan didn't speak, just listened silently.
"But...... I won't leave you for a while. Bai Shu smiled, revealing a gentle smile.
When Bai Shu said this, Ling Xuan's face suddenly looked better, it turned out that Ling Xuan was also engaged in a psychological struggle.
"It turns out that Shu, there is my ...... in my heart," Ling Xuan thought to herself, "Then what am I not satisfied with? I know that Shu will leave sooner or later, so I should cherish the time I spend with Shu......
"So, Xuan, are you willing to open up the sea of qi and take a different path?" Bai Shu didn't notice Ling Xuan's expression, but continued to ask.
"I do. At this time, Ling Xuan spoke, she smiled, showed a good-looking smile, and said, "Shu, just according to your wishes." ”
Bai Shu nodded, and thought silently in his heart, "I don't really want you to set foot on this road, but if this can become a means for you to protect yourself after I leave, then you should still set foot on this road." ”
The last drop of the golden dragon carp soup in the dingzhong was drunk by Bai Shu, in the wooden house, the two talked word by word, the oil lamp flickered, the dusk reflected the dusk in the room, and outside the wooden house, the moon was very large, very round, and exuded a pale light......
