Chapter 44: Dragon and Phoenix Soup
Mo Xuan'er had never cooked since she was a child, Li Moru got up and said, "Don't worry, I will do it." ”
He got out of bed, it was dark outside, and when the breeze passed through the bamboo forest, the shadows that flowed slowly in the moonlight played a summer night song with the sound of the spring, relaxed and pleasant.
Li Moru came to the kitchen under the leadership of Mo Xuan'er, there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the kitchen, and at first glance, they hadn't been touched for a long time, in addition to the thick dust, there were spiders that often came to visit.
Li Moru covered his nose, and finally turned out the pots and pans from the horizontal cabinets, but now there are no ingredients, the rice has become moldy, and a thick musty smell comes.
Li Moru asked, "Miss Xuan'er, do you have anything else to eat here?"
Mo Xuan'er said: "No, I don't come here often, I live here, but when I eat, I go to the inn during the day." ”
Li Moru said helplessly: "Okay, it seems that I can only be hungry tonight." ”
Suddenly, there was a sound, as if something had been kicked over, and a slight cry came from nowhere.
Li Moru hurriedly followed the cry and found a pheasant in the backyard, it seemed that this pheasant had been raised for some time, and the gray feathers could no longer cover its bloated size.
Li Moru wanted to slaughter it and stew it, but Mo Xuan'er hurriedly stopped: "No, I have raised this pheasant for a long time, I like it very much, you can't eat it." ”
Coo~~, Mo Xuan'er's stomach screamed twice.
Li Moru smiled: "Since this is the case, then we can only be hungry for one night tonight and go to the inn to eat tomorrow." She looked helpless, and obviously knew that Mo Xuan'er was also hungry, and wanted to give it a try to see if Mo Xuan'er was willing to kill pheasants.
Mo Xuan'er's stomach screamed again, and her face couldn't help revealing a trace of embarrassment, she said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you kill, you kill, remember to start quickly, I don't want to see it suffer, remember to call me when it's ready." ”
After Mo Xuan'er finished speaking, she turned around and left the backyard and walked to the room.
Li Moru waved his long sword, and the pheasant's head was instantly separated from his neck, he took the pheasant's body and head, and laughed, "One knife and two cuts, no crime." ”
He boiled hot water, went to the bamboo forest to find some bamboo shoots, and caught a green snake.
There was the sound of ping-pong chopping wood and the sound of burning fire in the backyard, Mo Xuan'er ignored it, and looked at the moonlight in front of the door, which was cold and moving.
After a while, Li Moru took two bowls and a pot of soup and came to Mo Xuan'er's room.
The smell had already reached her when Li Moru walked to the door, Mo Xuan'er hurriedly walked over, drooling and said, "It's so fragrant, I've never smelled such fragrant meat." ”
Li Moru handed her the bowl and said, "Miss Xuan'er, do you still like it now?"
Mo Xuan'er picked up the bowl and chopsticks, put a piece of meat in her mouth, and said while eating: "Of course, I like it before I raise it." ”
"Then you like it so much, and it can be mouthful?"
"What do you know, I call love deep into the bone marrow, since I love it so much, of course I have to eat more, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of my feelings for him, since it is dead, the deceased is gone, I let it integrate into my body, this is love to the depths. ”
Li Moru smiled knowingly and began to move the dishes and chopsticks.
Mo Xuan'er picked up a piece of snake meat and asked, "What is this, why do I think it's not chicken?"
Li Moru said: "Oh, this, this is the snake I caught in the bamboo forest, Miss Xuan'er, you won't dare to eat snakes, right?"
Mo Xuan'er put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, and she looked like she was enjoying it, "It tastes really good, it's much better than what I ate on the mountain, what's the name of your dish, it's delicious." ”
Li Moru thought for a while and said, "Dragon and phoenix soup, you see that there are dragons and phoenixes, it is a perfect match." ”
Li Moru said while Mo Xuan'er ate. "Miss Xuan'er, you can leave some for me. ”
"There are so many, what are you robbing with me. ”
At the end of the third watch, the two of them sat by the spring, blowing the mountain breeze, listening to the sound of the spring, Mo Xuan'er asked Li Moru: "So are you still going to kill the people of the Maitreya Sect?"
"Don't go. ”
Mo Xuan'er asked curiously, "Then are you ready to help the White Lotus Sect?"
"It's not,"
"Oh?" Li Moru's answer made Mo Xuan'er a little surprised, she thought that after Li Moru went to see the White Lotus Sect, he might help the White Lotus Sect, but she never thought that he would make such a choice.
Li Moru said: "Since I can't judge which of them is right and who is wrong, I shouldn't get involved in it, speak with facts, I can't kill people casually because of my wrong judgment, even if that person was not killed by me." ”
"How did you suddenly come up with this idea?"
"I'm just doing what I want, just like listening to the teachings of the White Lotus Sect today, I think some things are always much more difficult to say than to do, but I can't say anything about what they do, after all, I don't know about it personally, and I can't judge those so-called famous and decent people. ”
"For your rivers and lakes, I'm just a newcomer, a newcomer who is not familiar with the rules and doesn't know anything about anything, ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is capable ignorance, capable ignorance will hurt a lot of people, I figured this out when I met Jin Yunxuan's old poison. ”
Mo Xuan'er smiled: "You are really very different from those people I know. ”
"Is that good?
"There is nothing good or bad, it's good if you think it's good, it's bad if you think it's bad, it's not about me. ”
Li Moru smiled slightly, and Mo Xuan'er leaned on his shoulder, looking at the starry sky.
Li Moru just wanted to move away, but was stopped by her, "Don't move, if you dare to move, I will poison you, don't forget, I have a bunch of poison from that old poison here." ”
Li Moru had to let her lean on her shoulder until she fell asleep.
The first rays of warm sunlight in the early morning reflected from the water surface into Mo Xuan'er's eyes, and Li Moru was sitting cross-legged like a log practicing internal strength.
She rubbed her eyes, got up from Li Moru's shoulder, and asked, "Aren't you tired from practicing every day?"
Li Moru opened his eyes and said, "If you get used to it, if you don't practice, you will feel uncomfortable." ”
"You're such a weirdo, you don't enjoy life at all. ”
"Isn't loving what I love just enjoying life?"
Mo Xuan'er got up and stretched, the sun swept across her face, her hair was stained with the golden of the rising sun, Li Moru asked, "Miss Xuan'er, I think I'm leaving." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Niushou Mountain. ”
Mo Xuan'er asked, "Aren't you not involved in the struggle between them? Why do you want to go to Niushou Mountain again?"
Li Moru replied: "I'm just going to see which one is true between what a person says and what he does, I know too little about the outside world, I want to see more." ”
"By the way, Miss Xuan'er, can I ask you a question?"
Mo Xuan'er put her hand behind her back and walked towards the bamboo forest in a hurry, "Say it, I don't think I want to answer you." ”
"Who the hell are you, why can you infiltrate the White Lotus Sect so easily, and why does that old poison know your family again?"
Mo Xuan'er said mischievously: "Do you think I will answer your question?"
"No, it won't. ”
"And you still ask?"
"Even if people know that the result is like this, they still want to try, they think about that what if, and they all hope that they are that what if. ”
"Do you think you're the one whatever?"
"It's not. ”
"Then what else do you ask, let's go!"
"Where are you going?"
"Niushou Mountain. ”
Li Moru hurriedly followed, "Miss Xuan'er, wait, why are you going to Niushou Mountain too?"
"What's the matter with you? Hurry up, I don't have any guests here. ”
After Li Moru took the sword, he hurriedly followed, and walked in the direction of the cow's head from the deep bamboo forest.
On the other side, Xiao Ruohan and the others had also dressed up in disguise near Niushou Mountain, and Li Moru followed Mo Xuan'er to wander around Niushou Mountain, walking around.
The scenery near Niushou Mountain is indeed the best, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, compared with the ancient town, although there is less quiet, but there is a little more liveliness of fireworks.
The two were walking on the street, and suddenly a few people pushed the goods, and while walking, they were watching the changes around them, Li Moru guessed that these should be the people of those sects at that time.
It seems that it will not be long before the battle on Niushou Mountain will take place.
At this moment, a group of peasants behind Li Moru and Mo Xuan'er quarreled on the street, as if it was a dispute over the fields, and the people from the villages on both sides quarreled over the irrigation problem.
They all said that the canal was their own, and they also moved their hands, Li Moru hurriedly pulled Mo Xuan'er aside, for fear of hurting her.
And the person pushing the cart on the front was just about to avoid it, and at this moment, Li Moru noticed that at some point, a dagger appeared in the hand of a farmer next to him and deliberately fell on the goods of those people.
Then a group of people scuffled on someone's freight cart.
After the commotion, only the corpses of six strangers were left, covered with knives and blood spilling onto the hay, looking at the group with a full face.
Until someone shouted that someone had killed someone, the chaos spread out like a ripple of a boulder falling into a pool, and Li Moru pulled Mo Xuan'er and flew onto the roof of an inn.
Following behind the group of farmers, it wasn't until they were in a deserted alley that they took off their muddy coarse linen clothes, changed them into white cloth clothes, and rushed towards the place of the White Lotus Sect.
Li Moru had already guessed that it was the people of the White Lotus Sect who did it, and Mo Xuan'er asked, "Are you going to kill them?"
"Why?"
"Because they are doing evil against the strangers in the streets. ”
"That's because they obviously know the identity of the other party, how can any guy who transports goods hide a sword in the hay? Since they are enemies, if they don't kill a few people, then when those people go up Niushou Mountain, they will also kill them, this is just a contest between the two, and the group of people is a little worse than the skill of concealment. ”
Li Moru continued to wander around Niushou Mountain, wanting to see what else these people were going to do, and later, Li Moru found the corpses of the previous pile of White Lotus Sect people at the foot of Niushou Mountain.
He guessed that there should have been a lot of people from the Xuanwu Sect who were alive in the Golden Dao Gate and had infiltrated Niushou Mountain and settled down, and just waiting for Li Ji's order, the entire Niushou Mountain would be noisy.
In the dead of night, fireworks may suddenly ignite and scorch the dark sky.
