Chapter 18: Ten Years of Dreams (End)
Fu Yu left disappointed on a snowy night in July.
July wasn't supposed to have snowy nights.
Fu Yu shouldn't have hope.
There is no hope, there is no disappointment, he understands it, but he can't do it.
Who can do it?
Hope for this kind of thing, it's really terrifying, it gives you the courage to move forward in the dark, but it prepares you for a longer and endless darkness.
So when Fu Yu understood this truth, the ugly villagers in his memory slowly became less ugly.
He remembered that year when he asked his father why these people believed that a man-eating bear would bless them with good weather.
His father told him that because of people, there are always desires, and if there is no desire, there is no desire.
And such desires are different for everyone. Often what is most lacking is what is most wanted.
People who can't afford to eat can kill people for one meal. Those who do not receive love can kill for love. Therefore, some people say that a penny is difficult for a hero, and some people say that a soldier dies for a confidant.
In fact, they are just chasing their own desires.
A person who has been desperate for a long time, when he sees hope again, will be afraid, very afraid. Repeatedly tell yourself that it is an untouchable prohibition, but you will not really stop the outstretched hand.
"Does Daddy have desires? ”
"Naturally, there is. ”
"Will Daddy become like the village chief?"
"I've always been the same with them. ”
So Fu Yu came to Chang'an with hope, and left with disappointment.
He hadn't been disappointed in a long time. Because he understands that no matter how powerful the master is, he is the defeated of Hope's subordinates.
He didn't dare to have hope.
Nangong didn't dare, so he didn't dare to give Fu Yu hope.
He had already given himself a hope of peace in the world, and he did not dare to give any other hope.
So the next day, when Xiu Yanshu asked about the food of the border army with great interest, Nangong did not give him hope, he said:
It's really unpalatable.
They were in the barracks outside Chang'an City and saw the one-armed man.
This is the border army under Nangong, which returned to Beijing last month on the order of Zhang Xufeng. Although his temper was incompatible, Bai Liyao listened to Zhang Xufeng's words very much, so the army on the border marched back to Beijing after receiving the news of the disappearance of the god of war in Jialou.
Nangong and the others, like ordinary soldiers, took rice bowls and cooked meals under the pergola that had been erected, and sat in the makeshift canteen to eat.
Xiu Yan picked up a chopsticks of shredded potatoes that were so strange that they couldn't be called shreds, and they broke when they touched it, and it seemed that after the heat, it had become a lump of potato paste. So he unceremoniously stretched out his chopsticks to clip the shredded potatoes in Nangong's rice bowl, which was very firm, almost no different from raw. He ate it with interest, and then agreed:
It's really unpalatable!
The soldiers next to him all nodded in response, and they all made a "uh-huh" sound.
Then came a gust of wind, pots and pans accompanied by cutting boards, rolling pins and other kitchen utensils like a heavy rain towards the face. Xiu Yan was caught off guard and could be avoided, but he was also extremely embarrassed.
Nangong gloated and smiled without saying a word.
Xiu Yan said:
Sure enough, he has a big temper!
Cooks who don't cook well generally have a bad temper.
Lu Dafu is such a cook.
But if his temper could be better, he would not make the food so unpalatable.
Lao Yu said that the same thing is to be attentive.
This heart can be love, it can be caring, but in the end, it is all patience.
Cutting vegetables, washing vegetables, frying, cooking and frying all require patience.
Heat is the key to the success of a dish.
Obviously, Lu Dafu was very impatient, so he couldn't wait for Xiu Yan Lan to sit down and apologize to him, but scolded the "white-eyed wolf" in his mouth and withdrew the food in front of Xiu Yan Lan's table.
Xiu Yan was not only annoyed, but also felt funny, and said to Nangong:
It's really interesting!
What's even more interesting is that Lu Dafu had just lost his temper on this side, and someone on the other side shouted: "Lu Fatty, you don't need money for salt!
Lu Dafu was about to scold back, but after a while, he was stunned in place, not daring to turn back and talk back, the rolling pin he had just picked up in his hand trembled twice, and finally he didn't hold it and fell to the ground.
The voice sounded again: "Yo, shake your face with Lao Tzu again." I also dare to throw Lao Tzu's rolling pin and smash it and deduct it from your money. ”
He said that the rolling pin was his, and naturally it was his.
After all, this entire Great Zhou is his.
The middle-aged man, who was sloppy like a beggar and his hair was stuck together, still kept sneering at Lu Dafu, but Lu Dafu was not as irritable as before, just standing in place and crying silently.
"Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for ten years, and you have come to see Lao Tzu like this. He finally turned around and said to the founding emperor of the Great Zhou in front of him.
"What if it's not, when we first met, wasn't Lao Tzu like this. The sloppy man squatting in the chair said mockingly.
"From the first time we met, Lao Tzu disliked you. ”
"Since the first time we met, Lao Tzu has liked you. ”
"Holy shit!"
The crazy beggar, naturally Shennong, smiled and said, "Don't cry, like a girl, hurry up and make something delicious." Lao Tzu hasn't eaten for ten years, and the first bite of pig food made by you dead fat man. ”
"Feed the pigs, of course, give the pigs food. One sentence scolded everyone present, and he didn't care, he turned around and made green onion noodles. He remembered that when he first met, he invited the little beggar to a bowl of green onion noodles.
"It's green onion noodles again, can't you give Lao Tzu a good order?" Seeing that Lu Dafu cut the green onion with a knife in one hand after finishing the noodles, the green onion segments were a mess, and Shennong shouted again.
Lu Dafu didn't raise his head.
"Add two eggs to you. ”
"That's pretty much it. This man who owns the entire world of the Great Zhou, because of these two eggs, smiled with satisfaction, and then raised his hand and pressed down, signaling to those generals who recognized him, including Nangong, that there was no need to be polite, don't disturb him.
Xiu Yan Lan didn't hold grudges, and saw that Lu Dafu was struggling with one hand, so he wanted to come forward to help. Shennong shouted to him: "Don't move." Don't underestimate the fat man Lu, who is much more flexible than you little cubs, don't make a mess. ”
It was only the second time he saw the founding emperor's Xiu Yan Lan to bow to Shennong, and when he saw Shennong waving his hand to him, he sat back and said to Nangong, "Have you found it?"
"Something to say. ”
"What he's saying is fat, not one-armed. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Understood?"
Nangong glanced at him: "Your capital guards are very idle." ”
"The Great Monday is like this, the founding veterans are still fierce, and no one dares to cause trouble after several vigorous and resolute suppressions. Our Jingcheng Wei has no chance to catch a thief to practice now, and the recruits have no chance to be contaminated with some killing energy. ”
"Now it's different, Shennong was born, and you have a great responsibility. ”
"When Your Majesty is born, we are even more idle. Xiu Yanluan's temper is surprisingly good, if he is a cook, he must be a good cook, "Do you know who this fat man is?"
Nangong said: "I have heard some rumors. ”
Xiu Yan said: "How credible?"
Nangong said: "In the past, there was no trustworthiness, and today there is no trustworthiness." ”
Xiu Yan asked, "What is this point?"
Nangong thought for a moment and said, "Six Dao Sword Gods." ”
"Is that the Six Dao Sword God who achieved today's pattern with his own strength a hundred years ago?"
Nangong saw that he also knew who he was, so he hummed and continued to watch the old beggar and the dead fat man scold each other with interest.
For some reason, at this moment, he had a little more affection for Shennong, and even, was close.
Xiu Yan Shu interrupted him: "This point is known to the whole world, why can't it be trusted." ”
Nangong didn't look back, continued to look at the two of them laughing and scolding, and said lightly: "Do you know how big the world is?"
Xiu Yan was silent, of course he knew how big the world was.
Nangong also ignored it and continued: "From Chang'an to Xiguan, it will take twenty-eight days without stopping. Although no one has really crossed the Great Zhou, even if one person and one horse can still run without eating or drinking, it is roughly estimated that it will take two months. The eight kingdoms of the world are so vast, and I have only seen the two countries of Jialou and Zhou in my life. ”
Xiu Yan said with a smile: "In your life, you are only sixteen years old. ”
"I have gone to many more places than I have done. But it's just a big week, and it's not over. ”
"How could the sword god use it. ”
"I haven't seen a sword god either. ”
"Yes, the Supreme True Monarch a thousand years ago, the East China Sea Sword God a hundred years ago, and the immortals in the world came out of these two. ”
Nangong said: "It's about to be the third place." ”
Xiu Yan also looked at the ragged old beggar and was silent.
Nangong said again: "The first in the world, it's about to change hands." ”
Xiu Yan Shu said: "Ten years ago, it should have changed hands, and I have already made the Great Dragon Empress the first in the world for ten more years." It's just that I don't know if we, the Founding Earth Immortal Emperor, can fight with the Great Dragon Empress before he ascends. ”
Nangong said: "It should be unlikely, whether it is the first in the world or the king of a country, it is not what he wants." ”
"You know our emperor well?"
"I didn't understand before," Nangong raised his hand and pointed at Lu Dafu, who was on the end of one hand, "Now I start to understand." The more he ascends, the less he will waste his time competing for fame and fortune. Perhaps, what he wants more than the first in the world is this bowl of green onion noodles with two eggs. ”
"He doesn't want it, there are always people who want it, she didn't beat Shennong, how can she be her first in the world with peace of mind. ”
Nangong's fingers flipped over, and suddenly a white child suddenly appeared on his fingertips, wandering along the four fingers.
"Who knows......"
