Chapter 20: Barbecue in the Wild Forest

After Yun Ziyuan came out of Granny Dong's house, he thought about it and felt that he still had to go to the carpenter. His wooden sword had broken several times in previous battles, and now this one was in his seventh generation. In order to be fully prepared, he wanted the carpenter to check the wooden sword to see if there were any hidden cracks and other flaws.

Keep your mind set and go. However, before he could step a foot away, Yun Ziyuan saw a small snowflake coming from a meteor in stride.

At first glance, when he saw the little snowflake, Yun Ziyuan was slightly stunned, and then looked closely, only to see her face full of anger, willow eyebrows upside down, Yun Ziyuan was so frightened that he turned around and left.

"You, give, I, stop!"

With a coquettish sound, Yun Ziyuan's steps were chaotic, and after a stumble, he stopped suddenly, and stood in place with his head down, not daring to look at Xiao Xuehua. Every time at this time, what he fears the most and what he dares to see the most is the little snowflake.

In the past five years, when Yun Ziyuan went into the deep mountains and dense forests again and again to hunt wild beasts, and dragged the scarred and fleshy body back to the village again and again, Xiao Xuehua would silently wipe her tears on the side, secretly sad.

Every time I saw the criss-crossing wounds and scars on Yun Ziyuan's body, turning over the flesh, exposing the bones, sticking to the skin, and bloody wounds, in addition to crying in distress, Xiao Xuehua hated Tianmen and the god even more.

Xiao Xuehua couldn't bear to stop him, and knew that she couldn't stop him, just like she couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Yun Ziyuan couldn't stand Xiao Xuehua's tears the most, and he didn't want to see Xiao Xuehua crying, so every time he went into the mountains and returned to the village, he would deliberately avoid Xiao Xuehua and not let her find out. But for some reason, he always can't avoid the little snowflake, for him, the little snowflake is like fate, it is difficult to escape, irresistible. In the past five years, in addition to practicing swords in the mountains, Yun Xue and the two have almost been inseparable, and the town has never been separated.

As soon as Xiao Xuehua saw Yun Ziyuan walking out of Granny Dong's house, she knew what Yun Ziyuan wanted to do, and Yun Ziyuan's every move couldn't escape her discernment.

"Are you planning to sneak into the mountain behind my back again?"

"What do you mean by secretly, which time can I hide it from you......" Yun Ziyuan whispered, his eyes fled and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Xuehua.

"What are you talking about!" Moth's eyebrows frowned, her phoenix eyes widened, and the sound of the little snowflakes sounded like a spring, like playing Qingshang, but she deliberately lengthened her tone, looking so delicate and innocent.

With a helpless sigh, Yun Ziyuan took Xiao Xuehua's hand and led her to his cabin.

I still remember that when Yun Ziyuan first arrived five years ago, this hut was empty with four walls, and now, looking around, the bottles and cans in the hut were scattered all over the place, the smell of medicine was suffocating, and the gauze bandages were messy, dripping blood.

Looking around, Xiao Xuehua's expression was as usual, she was used to the rich medicinal qi and bloody here...... She hated the habit, and she shouldn't have done it.

"You know why I'm working so hard, and you know what I want to do and what I should do......"

Yes, Xiao Xuehua knows, she knows all this, everything is because of the damn Heavenly Gate, the damn God.

"Actually...... I'm scared. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, I'm even afraid that I won't dare. ”

Ten fingers are slender, clenching fists and trembling slightly, and Xiao Xuehua's palm endures the stinging pain, which hurts to the heart.

"But, I promise you, tomorrow will be the last time I will enter the mountain. ”

"Huh!?" Xiao Xuehua suddenly raised her head, her eyes blazing, and she couldn't wait to imprint Yun Ziyuan in her pupils.

"After that, I will stay in the village and wait for my husband to come back, and then obediently practice my husband's mystical method and practice silently. ”

You never lie to me, I believe you, so it's settled!"

took Yun Ziyuan's hand and forcibly hooked his tail finger, and Xiao Xuehua calmed down and smiled.

"Then tomorrow you will come back healthy, safe, and alive, and you will come back half-dead like before, and I will not be responsible for taking care of you!"

“......”

After a while, there was a melodious sound of flutes and flutes in the backyard, one high-pitched and cheerful, the other calm and lyrical, the two were inseparable, the spirit touched, the charm was connected, and the two seemed to have a subtle sense in their hearts.

This is a song composed by Xiao Xuehua himself, called "Messy Red", which is derived from the poems of the former sages - countless mountains, chaotic red like rain, and do not remember the time and road.

At this moment, the two of them played together, the sound of the flute and the flute, leisurely drifting away, if anyone who hears it carefully, you can feel it - like walking between the mountains and the wilderness, looking at the jungle and wild things.

——————————————————————————

The next day, the rooster sang, and the world was white.

After packing up, Yun Ziyuan went out early with a wooden sword. Facing the early sun and stepping on the morning glow, Yun Ziyuan walked towards the entrance of the village, walking slowly and resolutely.

At the entrance of the village, a figure is tall, the pen seems to be straight, standing still, it is the land hunter who has been waiting for a long time.

Yun Ziyuan was ashamed, hurried away, and saw Lu Orion in the distance, with a high bow of crane hair, not like an ancient old man, especially his face and brilliance, and it seemed that it was difficult to leave traces on it over the years, which made Yun Ziyuan very amazed and cared.

What Yun Ziyuan cares about is Lu Orion's peculiar five-color leather armor, the style is ordinary, but the color and texture of the chest, back, hands and legs are different, it seems to be made of the skin of tigers, leopards, jackals and other beasts stitched together, tightly seamed, and pierced with various strange and strange lines, just like the curved bow and arrows and hardwood spears on his back, which are also engraved with this strange pattern.

Yun Ziyuan once asked, Lu Orion only said that it was a family heirloom, and the lines were just ordinary ornaments, and there was nothing special, which made Yun Ziyuan scratch his head very much.

Meeting with Yun Ziyuan, Lu Orion didn't say much, just explained some precautions as always, and then the two set off.

In the village, Xiao Xuehua stood in the shadows, silently looking at the two of them, looking at Yun Ziyuan's back when he left, and saw the unyielding and fearless.

She didn't know that her own back was a little depressed and lonely at the moment.

......

At the beginning of dawn, the morning sun is gradually rising, the sky is cloudless, and it is clear and blue.

If you are high and look far away, you can see that the surrounding mountains are chaotic, the distant mountains are purple, the near mountains are green, the jungle is dense everywhere, the sun is towering, there are all kinds of birds and beasts infested, the apes cry and the tiger roar, and the strange sound rises from time to time, and the wild scenery of thousands of mountains in the southern region of Shenzhou is highlighted everywhere.

At the beginning of the sun, Yun and Lu left the village, and the two agile figures, one old and one young, gradually walked away in the mountains and forests.

Lu Orion has been hunting in the mountains and forests for a long time, and he is most familiar with the environment here, the traces of fierce beasts, and he usually takes Yun Ziyuan to explore the mountains and wilderness, and finds many fierce beasts and rare beasts.

Therefore, this time it was also led by Lu Orion, and Yun Ziyuan followed silently, not only to earnestly learn the jungle survival experience shown by Lu Orion, but also to recharge his energy and wait for the big battle that might come at any time.

The two of them weaved through the jungle and headed deep into the forest. This forest was not very far from the village, and they were very familiar with each other, and their speed was very fast, until a few days later, when they were far away from the usual hunting range of the land hunters, and the speed of the two slowed down and became cautious.

The grass has no shins, the forest is like a curtain, and the sound of birds singing and insects is heard in the ears, and it is full of vitality. Lu Orion even found some vague traces of humans, which should have been some years old.

After a while, the afternoon sun was in the sky, and Lu Orion did not encounter suitable prey for a long time, so he couldn't help but itch and gluttony, so he hit a few cute rabbits that were jumping around and slaughtered them on the spot. Yun Ziyuan saw that Lu Orion was fully prepared and skillful, and he took out the rabbit's internal organs after dividing them by two, smeared spices on the inside and outside, lit a bonfire and began to barbecue.

The oil drips, the fire bounces, the firewood and grass crackle in the fire, and from time to time, a tempting smell of meat wafts out, which not only makes people's index fingers move, but also the birds and beasts seem to salivate.

Yun Ziyuan suddenly frowned, remembered something, and asked, "Grandpa Lu, barbecuing here, and letting the smell of meat drift away, won't it attract some hungry beasts?"

"Haha, don't worry, we're going deep into this dense forest against the wind, so the smell of meat will only drift to the way we came, and wherever we walk, there are no creatures worth caring about except for these delicious bunnies. ”

Lu Orion was extremely confident in playing the package ticket, and Yun Ziyuan also believed in Lu Orion's experience, so he put his mind at ease and focused his attention on the rabbit's hot and frenzied body......

The tender rabbit meat sizzles on the fire, and a drop of hot oil slowly slides down the lines of the plump meat, and the unknown spices sprinkled on the meat are rolled over by the hot oil, creating an intoxicating fragrance.

This spice is the secret recipe of Lu Orion's family, even if he has entered the mountain with Lu Orion many times before, Yun Ziyuan is very rare to be able to taste it. At this moment, the strange fragrance is rich and tangy, Yun Ziyuan sniffed carefully, smelled slowly, the gluttonous insects were quickly aroused, and finally he couldn't help it, he couldn't care about the heat, and grabbed the rabbit meat is a big mouthful.

Lu Orion's craftsmanship in the barbecue is not inferior to Chef Lu!

Tender, crispy, salty, spicy...... Exquisite taste, in an instant, as if the taste buds are churning and dancing in the mouth, and the delicacy blooms strongly on the tip of the tongue! Yun Ziyuan's eyes lit up, it was not the first time he had eaten the game roasted by Lu Orion, but every time he would be fascinated and intoxicated.

At this moment, several mouthfuls of rabbit meat entered his stomach one after another, and he was immersed and intoxicated, as if the heavens and the earth were quiet......

"Hmm, that's not right!"

This is not an illusion in the mind, the originally chaotic and noisy world of vitality is really quiet at this moment, and the previous birds and beasts are no longer heard.

Lu Orion noticed the abnormality earlier than Yun Ziyuan, and turned over suddenly, and without seeing how he moved, the curved bow behind his back had already slipped off and was clenched in his hand.

"Something is wrong!"

Loading the arrow, drawing the bow, all in one go, Lu Orion's sharp eyes swept the surroundings deeply, but he couldn't see anything unusual, it was still this featureless jungle dense and precipitous.

If you can't see it, you listen to it. Closing his eyes and listening intently, Lu Orion's brow furrowed tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter.

From noisy, to silent, it seems to be just a bite of rabbit meat.

Yun Ziyuan's body slowly collapsed, this sudden silence was by no means simple, and he couldn't be careless.

"Hmm...... No, get out of here!"

Suddenly, as if he realized something, Lu Orion's face changed greatly, sweating like a spring, three steps and two steps, pulling Yun Ziyuan and turning around and running.

Something is wrong!

Yun Ziyuan realized that the situation seemed to be extremely bad, he had never seen Lu Orion so flustered, and he didn't even have time to bury the bonfire in the forest, which was not a good behavior.

"Demon beast! There's a demon beast here! Damn! This is just the outer area, how can the demon beast appear here! How is this possible?"

Demon beasts! Psychic monsters from the depths of the mountains!

Yun Ziyuan was also shocked when he heard this, "Demon beast!?
