Chapter 24: Friend or Foe?

Although the barbecue is good, Xiao Meow doesn't like to eat too much, she plans to stew a pot of soft glutinous broth after a while, and drink it freely.

It's just that she didn't expect that this meaty fragrance would attract a wave of uninvited guests for her.

The rich fragrance kept hitting Zhou Xi's nose, making him can't help but move his index finger, hesitated slightly, and ordered: "Come forward and take a look." ”

Zhou Hu respectfully responded, and a group of several people drove the carriage to Xiao Meow and Li Zi.

Xiao Meow frowned slightly, glanced up at them, and quickly withdrew the well-fed dumplings into her sleeves.

Lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the eagle meat in his hand.

Before the carriage approached, Zhang Hu jumped out of the carriage first, bowed slightly, carefully opened the curtain on the horse, and said softly: "Childe, it's here." ”

Following his voice, Zhou Xi slowly walked down from the carriage.

smiled slightly, and said: "The level of this little brother's barbecue is really high, I don't know if Zhou is lucky enough to taste it." ”

As Zhou Xi finished speaking, the guards quickly and automatically dispersed, each took out the prepared dry food, and ate on the spot.

Little Meow only felt a little funny, but didn't look up.

However, Li Zi knew Zhang Hu, and when he saw the two of them coming, he quickly got up and saluted humbly: "Zhang catches the head." ”

"Oh, do you know me?" Zhang Hu didn't expect that someone would recognize him at such a distance from Qingzhou City, so he smiled heartily and asked out loud.

"The villain is from Qingzhou, so he naturally knows Zhang Zhutou. Li Zi's face was flushed and a little cramped.

"I see, it's no wonder, everyone is from Qingzhou, and they are fellow villagers when they go out, but I don't know what kind of meat the two of them are grilled here, how it is so delicious, and the two of us are attracted from afar. "Zhang Hu is a cheerful person, and he is also an upright person, and he does not put on any official authority in front of Li Zi, and he is very approachable.

Li Zi looked up at Xiao Meow, thinking that he was low, and he really shouldn't have crossed the master's house, so he lowered his head and waited for her answer.

After a while, seeing that Xiao Meow did not react, and was afraid that she would provoke people who should not be provoked, he hurriedly took a step closer to her ear and whispered: "This is the eldest young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Xi, who will soon worship in Luohua Sect and become an immortal, and beside him is Zhang Hu, the head catcher of Qingzhou City." ”

Listening to what he said quickly and smoothly, Xiao Meow looked up at him funny, and still looked like he didn't like to answer Zhou Xi.

"This little brother, I don't know who his surname is, the barbecue he makes, the thief is fragrant. ”

Zhang Hu didn't mind Xiao Meow's reaction, and was about to bend down to sit in front of her, intending to taste even the dead skin and face.

"Thieves don't have to be incense, but it's true to be treated as a thief. Little Meow frowned and slowly looked up at him.

Seeing that she finally raised her head, Zhang Hu hurriedly grinned the corners of his mouth, revealing the smile that he thought was the most amiable, intending to use this to impress Xiao Meow in order to achieve the purpose of sharing food.

Who knew that after seeing her face clearly, her heart staggered as if it had been hit by a giant hammer.

Then he shouted: "Is that you?"

Then his face turned pale, his bent legs were a little weak, and he sat on the ground.

I saw him trying to control his slightly trembling lips, and pretended to be calm: "In broad daylight, are you a human or a ghost?" ”

As if he remembered his task again, he got up with a grunt, quickly pulled out the saber at his waist, stretched out his hand to stop it, and protected Zhou Xi behind him.

When the other guards saw this, they also raised their swords with one hand and surrounded Xiao Meow and Li Zituan.

The scene suddenly became tense.

Xiao Meow glanced at him disdainfully, and said sarcastically: "Lord Zhang, do you say that I am a human or a ghost?"

As he spoke, he slowly took out a white cloth bag from his arms and opened it layer by layer, revealing the red-hot and crushed chili powder inside.

When Zhang Hu saw this red, he suddenly felt that his eyes were red and there was a sharp pain, and the corners of his eyes unconsciously filled with a mist.

Protecting Zhou Xi's body, he unconsciously took a small step back, and his empty other hand, the void was half raised, guarding against her move at any time.

Zhou Xi looked as steady as Mount Tai, and only fiddled with a few chili peppers, which scared Zhang Hu so much that the little guy laughed softly.

"Okay, let's all step aside, she has a shadow, how can she be a ghost? Besides, how can a ghost have this ability, and in broad daylight, she can still barbecue meat. ”

Xiao Meow crossed Zhang Hu, glanced at him, and leisurely put the chili powder package neatly and aside, as just now.

When Zhang Hu heard Zhou Xi's words, his heart was slightly settled, and he reluctantly waved everyone back, but the sword in his hand was not withdrawn for a long time.

"You, you little beggar, didn't you die? I heard from the family who brought Zhou Yuan back that you didn't fall into the cliff?"

"Are you sure I fell off the cliff and wasn't pushed down by them?" Meow sneered, glaring coldly into his eyes.

Zhang Hu was dumbfounded, carefully recalling Zhou Ding's dodgy eyes when he said this that day, and a trace of doubt also rose in his heart.

Just as the two were talking, Zhou Xi actually took two steps closer in her direction.

"Childe, slow down!" Zhang Hu was in a hurry, hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, stopped Zhou Xi, turned his head and asked Xiao Meow: "Since you can fall into the cliff without dying, then let me ask you, did Zhou Yuan kill you?"

Just as Zhang Hu asked this, the air around her froze for a moment, and the guards also stared closely at the situation here, as if as long as she dared to speak up, they would step forward and arrest her.

Even Li Zi, who had been by her side, was a little nervous, and he didn't believe that Xiao Meow, who existed like a fairy in his heart, would be a murderer.

Little Meow looked at everyone, and then at the plums.

"Hmph", laughed angrily, and said indifferently: "What if I killed him, not only him, but also the third aunt of the Zhou Mansion, who also made my hand, how about it? They killed the old man, shouldn't they be damned? If it weren't for the sake of your humanity, you think that with just a little chili powder, I would spare you?"

Zhang Hu didn't expect her to admit it so quickly, and she couldn't react for a while.

Zhou Xi, who was next to him, frowned lightly and asked out loud, "The third aunt is also what you did?"

"Not bad. "If you dare to do it, there's nothing to be afraid of, Xiao Meow said happily.

In fact, she dared to say this not because she wanted to be quick to talk for a while, but because she had a strong dependence.

This dependence is the immortal worship token of the Luohua Sect hanging around her neck at this moment.

The Luohua Sect has long had an agreement with several nearby major sects, even if the relationship is bad, it will definitely not attack the person who receives the immortal worship token, otherwise, the whole sect will be destroyed.

And on the token, there is a special mark of the immortals, even if the token is damaged into slag, the sect can clearly know what happened to the new disciples.

For thousands of years, none of the newcomer disciples who have obtained the token have had an accident.

The land of immortals is still like this, let alone in front of ordinary people.

If Xiao Meow really has any accidents in this Qingxi country, needless to say, he is a small head catcher, and he is the emperor of the entire Qingxi country, and eighty percent of it will change hands.

So what Xiao Meow said this time is that he is fearless and unscrupulous.

This arrogance was so arrogant that he was unrepentant, and Li Zi beside him was frightened, his legs were sore, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof".

I never thought that Little Meow would have such a big courage.

And Zhang Hu on the other side was even more angry with her, and was about to take her out.

At this moment, Zhou Xi made a move.

I saw him sit next to Xiao Meow, smiled and said: "So good, then we can be regarded as friends and not enemies, if it weren't for the little brother's action, I wouldn't have such a good reason to let Lord Zhou dismiss the concubine and rearrange the concubine, so, I really want to thank the little brother." ”

"It's just that I don't know if the little brother can cut love, let us also taste the deliciousness of this meat. ”

Xiao Meow was a little surprised, obviously she didn't expect Zhou Xi's three views to be so positive, and her good feelings doubled for a while, and her tone eased down.

Besides, I will go to Luohua Sect in the near future, and it is not bad to take care of each other.

Wen Sheng said: "Since we are friends and not enemies, it is okay to taste a piece of barbecue, my name is Wen Xiaomeow, and I will know each other in the future." ”

"Brother Little Meow is really refreshing, I'm Zhou Xi, just call me by name in the future, I don't know what kind of meat this is, it's the first time I've smelled this?"

"This is one of the great features here, the meat of the eagle's breast. Xiao Meow's tone was flat, and there was no intention of showing off.

Zhou Xi was shocked, and then returned to normal, but looking at Xiao Meow's gaze, he unconsciously had a little more admiration.

The two asked one and answered the other, and they got along quite well.

But this can be anxious Zhang Hu on the side, originally he was not a person with a broken mouth, but now in order to protect the young master, he has repeatedly mentioned this matter, who knows that Zhou Xi not only has no disgust, but also has a very happy posture, how can this not make him anxious.

Seeing a rough man with five big and three thick, walking around the two of them, everyone lost their mood.

Zhou Xi snorted coldly: "Sit down." ”

"But。。。。。。 Zhang Hu wanted to say something more, but he didn't dare to resist, and sat down depressed.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't bother us. ”

Zhang Hu finally stopped speaking, but looked at Xiao Meow's eyes, as if staring at some flood beast.

For one of his tendons, Xiao Meow was a little speechless, but he felt a little interesting and teased.

After the eagle meat was roasted, she gave priority to picking out a piece of fat that was a little fat, grabbed the chili powder on the ground, sprinkled a thick layer, and then handed it to Zhou Xi, signaling him to hand it over to Zhang Hu.

Zhou Xi couldn't laugh or cry, but he was happy to see Zhang Hu deflated, and handed over the barbecue.

Zhang Hu took it aggrievedly, looked at Zhou Xi with a bitter face, and then looked at the red barbecue, neither eating nor not eating.

In particular, the aroma of barbecue meat passed through his nose and rushed to the one in his stomach one by one, which was replaced by a "gluttonous" worm.

Zhang Hu fought hard between heaven and man, and finally ruthlessly, closed his eyes, opened his big mouth and bit the barbecue.

The barbecue is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely delicious, although it is wrapped in a thick layer of chili powder on the outside, but to be honest, it is not particularly spicy, and this chili powder is very authentic, which greatly stimulates his taste buds and makes him want to stop, and he gnaws the barbecue in a few bites.

That gobbling up posture, I don't know, I thought he was treating the barbecue as a small meow.

In fact, only he knew that this barbecue was definitely the best thing he had ever tasted.

As the saying goes, eating people's mouths is short, especially with such a delicacy, Zhang Hu didn't have the appearance just now, and looked at Xiao Meow's hands with blank eyes.

Expecting her to hand over another piece, this time even if it was twice as many peppers, no, twice as many peppers, he would be willing.
