"Why can't you walk at night?" Xiao Nianxi was puzzled, and naturally remembered the two things that Li Maocai had said by the lake the night before, which seemed quite strange to him.

But this question remained in his mind for a long time, and after a while, he remembered another thing that had to be done.

Xiao Nianxi returned to the compartment, spread out a piece of white paper on the table, and picked up the ink pen. He stared for a moment, then hung his wrist and carried it, one stroke at a time, and folded it in half and hid it under the pillow.

Then I saw him put the books on the shelves by the window into the ring.

"Without the help of Lingbao on the road, it will take three years to drive from Niuhuo Mountain to Chang'an, and I don't know if I have to go through the wind and rain. ”

Xiao Nianxi thought about his and Xiao Hongdou's lack of mundane experience, and at the same time, the two of them had to take care of cultivation on the way, which was a bit like an ox. It's just that there is a certain degree of excitement mixed in there, because for him, the rolling long distance with an uncertain future may be difficult, but it also happens to cater to the uninhibited fantasy he yearns for.

What's even better is that Li Maocai, the king of Luo, secretly stuffed him with a spirit ring full of mundane materials on the eve before, saying that it was just in case, and in the ring, there was no spiritual treasure magic weapon that traveled thousands of miles a day, nor was there a magic weapon for sitting on the ground, after all, if Xiao Nianxi and the two traveled too fast, it would inevitably make the master suspicious. Therefore, it is full of gold and silver treasures that make mortals blush, so just right not to cross the aid of the thunder pool, presumably the master will also turn a blind eye and do not bother to investigate.

Xiao Nianxi is not a person of extravagance and mediocrity, and he has never thought of swaggering through the city like a rich and noble son. Therefore, for him, the current hoarding of copper and stinky materials in his hands may save him a lot of troubles from passing through the world, which is already satisfying to him.

The only concern at the moment is... In case Xiao Hongdou's girl knew about the existence of this rose ring, it turned out that it was a gold mountain, and even if there were twenty or thirty jade mines, she would have to be emptied.

He touched his pocket, thinking in horror.

Lunch time.

There are two bowls of simple sauce noodles, freshly picked fruits and mixed vegetables on the pear round wooden table, Xiao Nianxi and Xiao Hongdou are sitting opposite each other and eating, and there are also two little beasts eating on the side of the table, which are the rhubarb and small dove in Xiao Hongdou's mouth.

Rhubarb is a mouthful, and it doesn't disturb you when you eat.

On the other hand, the little dove was very soft, and ate quietly.

"Goo-goo-goo. When the little dove had finished, she stretched out her wings forward, and gently rubbed her beak, like a fair lady who adhered to etiquette, as if she were whispering—the little woman was full.

This interesting play naturally did not escape Xiao Nianxi's keen eye, and he couldn't help but tease,

"Good guy, the little dove can't be a girl, right?" Xiao Nianxi observed the novelty, the difference between the distinct images of the two strange spirit beasts when they ate was so big that they couldn't make people cry and laugh.

Xiao Hongdou seemed to have already known, and shouted proudly: "Rhubarb! Eat quietly, although you are a boy, you also have to learn from other people's little doves, you look at other people's Dosven." ”

"Woo~..."

Rhubarb heard a pitiful voice of grievance, and the wind and clouds stopped in an instant. Xiao Nianxi saw that Rhubarb rolled his eyes, looking pitiful and admitting his mistakes, but he had some funny feelings about it, so he said: "Manly man, where do you get so many elegant rules, you can eat how you want, this is an important matter related to a temperament, listen to the girl's words." ”

After that, he took a big bite of noodles, showing his so-called manly demeanor.

Rhubarb Xu Xu was impressed by Xiao Nianxi, who exuded the so-called "manhood" all over his body, and then snorted to show his approval, and then, its tornado-like licking and eating sound made a comeback again, even more so just now.

"Brother, look what you taught it to!" Xiao Hongdou opened his eyes in surprise, stared at the rhubarb infected by Xiao Nianxi, and hurriedly scolded.

"Coo!" At the same time, the little dove also angrily stared at the rhubarb, which was full of debris, and cooed.

"Hmm... Dogs can be taught, dogs can be taught. ”

Xiao Nianxi learned from the old village chief of the fisherman, touched his white chin, and said wisely and gratifyingly.

"Hmph, you and Rhubarb are really a pair of smelly people. Little dove, let's not learn from them, girls must be reserved. After Xiao Hongdou finished speaking, he gently picked and ate the noodles, while the little dove stood quietly on her shoulder, staring at the two reckless men in front of her with a bird's face of disdain.

The inside of the bowl bottomed out, Xiao Nianxi raised his head and said, "Doubao, you hurry up and clean up today to see if there is anything that needs to be taken away." ”

"Pack up, we're leaving... Are you going to Chang'an!?" Xiao Nizi couldn't hide her excitement.

"This time, the master said, we will not be like when he first came to Niu Huoshan to ride the heavenly fowl comfortably, this time the road is long, for us, it is also like an unprecedented trip to the clouds, and we don't know whether the road is smooth or difficult. ”

Xiao Hongdou first muttered a few unpleasant words to the master, and then couldn't wait,

"Brother, how long can we go out this time?"

This girl really just wants to play. Xiao Nianxi immediately said: "Tell you lazy worm to sleep on the eve of the night, and you can't listen well." ”

"Hee-hee.." Xiao Hongdou laughed embarrassedly.

Xiao Nianxi finished eating the last pick of noodles,

"Now the two brothers of Li Maocai, King Chong and King Yi, are also preparing their own strength, each making preparations. This year, the first test for Prince Qianlong - the human test. Presumably, the Qianlong Emperor has been secretly comparing the strength of the three princes recently, of course, the result of the dawn of the people is definitely unknown. And next year's second test, the literary exam, is also none of our business, and I expect that only those who are still in the literature and dance will really pay attention to it. However, the third test of the year after tomorrow - the martial arts test will definitely attract the attention of the world, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of strangers from all over the world in Qianlong. Therefore, we still need some extra time to go to Chang'an City in advance to adapt to the plan. This means that we must not slack off on the road, and we can only use this to meet the martial arts test of the Prince of Longting in the late third year. ”

Xiao Hongdou listened to Xiao Nianxi talk so much, she had already been too empty, and only vaguely remembered the core point of "three years", she held her face and smiled, thinking longingly,

"Oh my God.. I can actually play outside for so long without going back to the sect..."

Xiao Nianxi looked at her and thought about it vigorously, and immediately put away her dishes and chopsticks, and said while walking to the washing pool: "After you eat, remember to wash the dishes of the big rhubarb and small dove together, and then clean up the things that should be packed as soon as possible, the road is far away, time is tight, let's adapt early." ”

After speaking, Xiao Nianxi couldn't help but laugh at himself for a while, this is only a morning of time and a meal, did he accept these two little animals?

Especially this rhubarb, why do I have some sympathy for it?

On the ground, Rhubarb glanced at Xiao Nizi and the little dove on her shoulder, and then at the man it admired in the distance, and then snorted firmly, and ran after it with a plate in his mouth.

Xiao Hongdouxin is elsewhere, and he hasn't seen Rhubarb's unrighteous actions for the time being.

But the little dove on her shoulder took in everything, and it whispered as if to say—you traitor.

Xiao Nizi is very diligent this time, not only did she take the initiative to wash the dishes after eating the noodles, so that even the pots and pans that she had never touched in the dining room were all brushed cleanly, Xiao Nianxi walked into the dining room, Huo's eyes lit up, and he saw the shining silver light everywhere, so he continued to sigh and sigh.
