Tang Zixi looked at the woman who was smiling, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a sad face: "What is this?"

Qinglian raised her eyebrows proudly, leaned up to her and asked, "How is it compared to the leaves?"

Tang Zixi suddenly realized, pounced, and gritted his teeth and said, "Wow, it turns out that you are taking revenge on me!"

Qinglian hurriedly protected the crockpot beside her with one hand, and held her down with the other: "Beware of burning you!"

Tang Zixi glanced at the tumbling soup and sat back in a daze.

After a while, she suddenly asked, "By the way, did you run away from that ghost yesterday?"

"Ghost?" Qinglian was stunned when she heard this, and when she saw Tang Zixi snorting outside, she immediately reacted, shook her head and said, "No, he disappeared when I woke up." ”

"Gone?" Tang Zixi said in surprise, "I thought you drove it away!"

Qinglian smiled: "How can I have that ability, I think he thinks that we are incomparable, and we can't increase much strength after eating, so let us go!"

Tang Zixi was amused by her words and nodded yes.

"Click!

At this moment, the crisp chewing sound came from her side, and she looked back in surprise, only to see that the Jinpa had fallen to the ground at some point, and the fawn was munching on the red fruit that had fallen to the ground, looking at its slightly squinted eyes, as if it was eating a delicious delicacy in the world.

"Look, there are still people who know the goods!" Qinglian on the side was also attracted by the crisp chewing sound, and said in a slurp: "You also treat Ugin as black charcoal." ”

Seeing the little deer's tail swinging towards the last fruit, he hurriedly ran over and grabbed it in his hand, pushed away the deer's head and said, "This is mine!"

"That's right!" Qinglian said while stirring the soup in the crockpot, "Don't look at it, it's sour, it's not an ordinary fruit, my two brothers and I survived on this fruit back then!"

"Really, fake, can this save lives?" As soon as she heard that she blew this fruit so hard, Tang Zixi suddenly came to his senses, and saw that the deer leaned his head over again, and at the moment, he didn't care whether it was sour or not, he stuffed the whole fruit in his hand into his mouth, chewed it indiscriminately and swallowed it.

Qinglian said leisurely: "When I was a child, there was nothing to eat at home, and my two brothers and I were so hungry that we cried. My father didn't come home at the gambling house again, and my mother really had no choice, so she went to the mountains to pick wild fruits for us to eat. The most eaten is this goat's milk fruit. It's so sour that no one else likes it. But it's good if we can have something to eat, and where will we dislike it or not. Once, my second brother fell into the ditch in order to pick up a goat's milk fruit that had fallen on the ground. A cut on his forehead made the elder long, and half of his face was stained red with blood, but he didn't feel any pain at all, but smiled at us with the fruit in his hand. At that time, he was only nine years old......"

Tang Zixi was silent when he heard this, and finally understood what the other party meant when he said that he could save his life. Before, she thought that this wild fruit had some special effect, similar to being able to cure diseases and strengthen the body, but she didn't expect it to be someone's stomach. She couldn't imagine that this wild fruit, which had no taste other than sour, could become food for others to survive. This suddenly reminded her of the shortbread she threw away that year, when Su Jing took her to the temple fair. At this moment, she seemed to vaguely understand the meaning of what Su Jing said at that time, for those poor people, as long as it is something that does not poison people, it is a delicacy for them.

She looked at Qinglian's gaze again, and couldn't help but bring a hint of sympathy.

Qinglian suddenly laughed as she spoke, raised her sleeve and wiped her face, and said, "Look, what am I telling you to do this." When the porridge is ready, come and eat. After speaking, he took a washed broken bowl and poured half a bowl and handed it over, "Be careful, the porridge is very hot." ”

Tang Zixi hurriedly stretched out his hands and carefully took it, and asked, "What is this?"

Qinglian smiled at her and said, "Guess!"

Tang Zixi rolled his eyes and was about to speak, when suddenly his hand was empty, and the broken bowl had been snatched away.

Then I heard a man's voice: "It's really good, you will have something to eat as soon as you come." I happened to be a little hungry. What kind of porridge is this? It smells good. ”

"Who are you?" Qinglian shouted, grabbing the sharpened wooden stick on the side.

Tang Zixi also grabbed a piece of firewood and stood beside Qinglian.

It turned out that a strange man suddenly appeared in the wooden house, drinking the bowl of hot field chicken porridge with bared teeth, and glared at him: "You ask me who I am? I haven't asked you who you are? Why are you stealing my rice at my house?" ”

"Your family?" the two girls glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes. They had stayed here all night, and had not seen a single man, and now suddenly a man appeared claiming to be the owner of the hut, and to be honest they did not believe it.

Qinglian immediately asked, "You said that this is your home, what evidence do you have?"

The man wiped his mouth and said in surprise, "Evidence?" His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly raised his hand and pointed somewhere, "You guys took this rice in a bag in the corner of the house." That's right, I hung it up. ”

Qinglian's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she secretly wondered in her heart: Even Miss Tang didn't know about Nami. How did this man know that he was really the owner of the wooden house?

When the man saw her expression, he immediately understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't mean to investigate." I understand, the rivers and lakes are in emergency. Besides, I'm not a stingy person, I'll take it and I'll take it, and I won't arrest you to see the official. After speaking, he smiled and handed over the broken bowl and said, "This porridge tastes good, bring me another bowl!"

Qinglian hesitated for a moment, glanced at the man who was glaring at her, and slowly stretched out her hand.

"You are talking nonsense!" Tang Zixi on the side suddenly grabbed Qinglian's hand and reminded in a low voice, "The rice bag has a hole." ”

Hearing this, Qinglian hurriedly turned her head to look, and there were really a lot of rice grains sprinkled on the ground, and a touch of white was revealed on the corner of the bag containing rice, and it was really broken.

Tang Zixi looked at the man in front of him and said sarcastically: "You obviously only knew it by looking at the rice grains sprinkled on the ground." And this wooden house is not your ......" said this, sneering, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, "I'm afraid you can't smell it yourself, how choking the smell of alcohol is on this body." I advise you to look in the mirror first, the red marks on your face are still there. Hmph, I'm afraid I just came out of that kind of place. After speaking, he snorted heavily, with a look of disdain.

She has always had no good face for those men who are obsessed with gentleness, and if the two parties are sincere, it doesn't matter, they are all acting on the spot, and they are also happy in it.

The man was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he laughed twice and said, "The little girl has fiery eyes, admire and admire." After speaking, he straightened his back and arched his hand, "In Xia Jining, I was entrusted to remind the two of you that the chasing soldiers are coming, please make plans early." ”

"Chasing?" Tang Zixi was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Qinglian, and saw that she also looked puzzled, and immediately looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, and said, "Why should we believe you?"

Ji Ning spread his hands and said, "If the two of you insist on not believing it, there is nothing you can do." Anyway, the words have been brought, and the mission is completed. There's still something important to do, say goodbye!"

This time it was Tang Zixi's turn to be anxious, this person broke in without a head, said a few inexplicable words, and then pulled his legs and left, leaving her full of doubts.

I couldn't care about the shelves at the moment, so I hurriedly said, "Wait!"

Ji Ning, who had just walked to the door, stopped when he heard the sound, patted his forehead, and muttered, "Look at my memory." Then he turned around and smiled embarrassedly at the two, "I almost forgot, the man gave me the next thing, saying that the two of you can understand it at a glance." After saying that, he spread out his hand and revealed something.

Qinglian didn't feel anything, but Tang Zixi's face changed greatly, first he touched his body for a while, and Qinglian was confused by that anxious look, and then he heard her trembling voice: "What else did that person say?"

Ji Ning smacked his mouth, with a look of memory on his face, and said in Tang Zixi's expectant gaze: "She also said that if I convey the news in time, she will give me a pot of treasured Taiqing red cloud syrup." At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face showed a look of fascination, and he shook his head and praised, "Ah......! Is...... Ahh

He was self-absorbed for a long time, Fang Lian reluctantly opened his eyes, but when he saw two cold eyes, he suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Don't stare at you like this, it's important to run for your life quickly." Thanks, I'm going to beg for a drink, and we'll see you later!" he arched his hand and laughed and disappeared at the door.

Qinglian walked to Tang Zixi's side and said, "This person has come and gone without a trace, and his martial arts should not be low." But why was he so kind to let us know? You know him?"

Tang Zixi shook his head and said, "I know the jade pendant in his hand. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, stomped his feet and said, "Oh no!" hurriedly chased out the door, but only saw that his eyes were full of greenery, and there was half a figure there.

Tears quickly appeared in her eyes, and she was about to fall, when Qinglian's voice came from her ears: "Hey, what is this?" She hurriedly looked up, but saw that on the low tree not far away, something was swinging in the wind, it was the jade pendant that Ji Ning took out before.

Tang Zixi hurriedly ran over to take it off, carefully put it in the palm of his hand and stroked it gently, and muttered in his mouth: "It turns out that he didn't take it away!"

The whole piece of jade pendant looks natural, there is no trace of carving, it looks like a falling teardrop from a distance, crystal clear, warm and smooth, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

Qinglian only glanced at it and exclaimed, "This jade pendant is really beautiful!"

Tang Zixi snorted and said, "Yes, this is my father's birthday gift to me." ”

"Oh!" Hearing that it was given by Tang Mingru, Qinglian didn't ask much, but changed her words, "Since that Ji Ning came to report the news on purpose, I think the situation is indeed very critical, let's go quickly, otherwise it won't be a disappointment to the person who entrusted it." ”

Tang Zixi knew that what she said was true, and immediately nodded: "Okay!"
