Chapter 37: Grilled Fish by the River

Walking through the jungle, seeing that the sky had darkened, Feng Xiaomo had fallen asleep on horseback, a breeze passed by, blowing off the yellow leaves on the trees, Luo Chen suddenly stopped, looked back at Feng Xiaomo on horseback, and said to himself: "Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, it can't go on like this, you have to find a place to stay, but... Where can I find this deep mountain and old forest?" When the words fell, he sighed deeply.

Luo Chen led the horse and continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, he heard the sound of "bang" in front of him, and he thought that there must be a river in front of him, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the front. After a while, as Luo Chen thought, a clear river appeared in front of him, he led the horse to the river, looked around and said, "Let's spend the night here tonight!"

Then Luo Chen found some dry branches, then took out the fire sickle and flint, and made a fire on the lawn by the river. At this time, I saw Luo Chen walk to Feng Xiaomo's side, helped him off the horse, took him to the fire, and said, "You can rest here first, and when it is dawn, we will find a place to recuperate." Although he knew that Feng Xiaomo couldn't hear his words, he still had to say it, because this made it seem that he was not alone at this time!

Luo Chen draped his clothes on Feng Xiaomo's body, curled up and sat by the fire, looking at the jungle of the night, his thoughts suddenly returned to the deserted village, to the dilapidated thatched house in the east of the village, and the grandfather who was sick in bed. Thinking of this, he secretly swore in his heart: "For my grandfather, but also for myself, my mother, and my sister, one day I will find you!"

Thinking about it, a sound of "cooing" came, Luo Chen touched his stomach, and said, "You are really not angry, you are hungry again!" When the words fell, he looked at Feng Xiaomo on the side again, thinking that she should be hungry at this moment!

So Luo Chen took out some dry food and was about to use it to satisfy his hunger, but when he brought the dry food to his mouth, he suddenly stopped and said, "No, I have to improve today!"

Luo Chen put away the dry food in his hand, found a slender wooden stick, sharpened one end of it with a sword, and strode to the river. When he was in a deserted village, Luo Chen was a first-class fishing master, and today, he wants to use the wooden stick in his hand to improve his food. Luo Chen stood by the river for a while, and then jumped onto a protruding stone in the middle of the river, he first slowly squatted down, quietly watching if there were any fish swimming in the river. After a while, I saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then his hand fell down, and there was a splash.

Luo Chen slowly took out the wooden stick from the water, and said to himself: "Look where you are running, my skills are not reduced back then!

When the stick was completely lifted out of the water, I saw a palm-sized fish stuck in the tip of the stick. Luo Chen returned to the shore with a smile, but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, so frightened that Luo Chen almost fell into the river. When Luo Chen saw the face of this figure clearly, he touched his chest and said loudly: "When did you wake up, and there was no movement, it scared me to death!"

Feng Xiaomo looked at the fish in Luo Chen's hand and said, "Seeing that you are so serious about catching fish, I didn't bother you, it seems that you don't need to eat dry food tonight!

Luo Chen smiled proudly and said, "Of course, when I was a child, in the deserted village, no one was my opponent... Your injuries are not healed yet, hurry up and rest, I'll catch one more, one by one!"

After the words fell, Luo Chen put the fish in his hand on the edge of the fire, turned around and walked towards the river, looking at Luo Chen's back, Feng Xiaomo whispered: "Today... Thank you!"

Luo Chen suddenly froze in place, then turned around and said, "Ah, what are you talking about?..." Feng Xiaomo stopped talking.

Luo Chen couldn't help laughing, and continued: "I didn't expect the ice beauty to say thank you sometimes..."

Feng Xiaomo stood in place and stared at him fiercely, and said, "You... How dare you fool me!"

It was late at night, and the two sat quietly by the fire, waiting for the delicious grilled fish. Feng Xiaomo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then there was another sound of "cooing". Luo Chen smiled after hearing this, and said, "Don't worry about your stomach, the delicious grilled fish will be good right away, right away!"

Feng Xiaomo snorted coldly and said, "It seems that your stomach was screaming just now!"

Luo Chen took off the grilled fish on the fire and said, "Yes, it's my stomach that is screaming! The dead duck has a hard mouth, and if it's hungry, it's hungry, and it won't admit it!"

Feng Xiaomo wanted to fight back against Luo Chen's words, but she still couldn't say it, because at this time Luo Chen had already handed a grilled fish to her. Feng Xiaomo took the grilled fish and ate it immediately.

Seeing this, Luo Chen said with a smile: "You eat slowly, no one will rob you!"

The two sat on the edge of the fire eating grilled fish, I don't know when it started, the corners of Feng Xiaomo's eyes seemed a little moist, although Luo Chen saw it in his eyes, he didn't ask the reason, because he knew that Feng Xiaomo looked arrogant, cold, and invincible on the outside, but her heart was very fragile, and all the external manifestations were just to hide the fragility in her heart.

Feng Xiaomo took a deep breath and said, "On weekdays, there are some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there has never been something like today, but I like today's fish more than those delicacies from the mountains and seas!"

Hearing Feng Xiaomo's words, Luo Chen was full of joy, maybe he thought too much, maybe Feng Xiaomo's words really had an unspoken meaning, but Luo Chen was already very satisfied in his heart. He smiled and said, "In that case, how about I make it for you every day in the future?"

Feng Xiaomo paused and said, "Let's talk about it later!"

The two were quiet for a while, and no one spoke, but Luo Chen was an idle person. He looked at Feng Xiaomo and asked, "Can you tell me who you are, why did those people snatch the divine sacrifice?"

Feng Xiaomo paused, and said: "Do you know Kunlun? I came from there! This time I came to the Wu Clan to bring the divine sacrifice back to Kunlun, and when I set off, I swore that I would definitely bring the divine sacrifice back, but who would have thought..."For a person like Feng Xiaomo, failure is unacceptable, and at this moment she must be hating herself in her heart!"

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said, "Kunlun, I haven't heard of it, but I feel very powerful... It's okay, I'll help you get back the sacrifice!"

Feng Xiaomo glanced at Luo Chen, shook his head slightly, and said, "You, you want to help me find the divine sacrifice ?...."

Luo Chen stood up suddenly, and said, "You look down on me! Who saved you in the forest during the day? Who drove away the masked man, isn't it all me, who dares to look down on me!"

Speaking of the events of the day, Luo Chen suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the words that the masked man said before leaving. So Luo Chen asked, "Do you know what the masked man said before he left?"

Feng Xiaomo shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know, but I think it must have something to do with the divine sacrifice!"

On a night like this, apart from the sound of the murmuring of the river, all that remains is the sound of each other's heartbeats. The fire gradually went out, and both of them fell asleep, and they didn't know when it started, Feng Xiaomo's head actually rested on Luo Chen's shoulder, and I don't know when Luo Chen actually hugged Feng Xiaomo.

The sun is slowly rising in the east, and the sun in the depths of winter is not warm, but it is still much better than the rainy weather. Luo Chen was woken up by a piercing scream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Feng Xiaomo's fierce face and those eyes that could kill people invisibly. Luo Chen coughed dryly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Feng Xiaomo shook his head and said, "I'm going to kill you!"

Only then did Luo Chen react, it turned out that Feng Xiaomo was lying in his arms, and what was even worse, Luo Chen's disobedient thing was stiff and high. Luo Chen stood up in a flash, pouted his buttocks, and quickly explained: "This is completely an accident, an accident..."

Feng Xiaomo immediately stood up, pulled out her white sword, and wanted to stab at Luo Chen, but at this time, she had more than enough strength and couldn't use the slightest strength at all. Seeing this, Luo Chen hurriedly walked over to support her and said, "Are you okay?"

Feng Xiaomo took a breath, pushed Luo Chen away, and said, "You beast, after I get better, I will definitely kill you!"

Luo Chen sighed and said, "Then we have to wait until you heal your injuries, don't worry, I won't run!

Feng Xiaomo's face looked pale and weak, but it didn't hide her cold appearance, Luo Chen tried to lean towards her, and said, "Your injury is not good, don't move, let's find a place to shelter from the wind and rain first, and take care of your injuries!"

Feng Xiaomo put away the white sword and said, "You don't have to worry about my injury, don't let me see you again, otherwise, after the injury is healed, you will definitely die!"

Luo Chen smiled and said, "If you die, you will die, I can die under your sword, that is my Luo Chen's three lives! Let's go... You slow down!" As soon as Luo Chen's words fell, he saw that Feng Xiaomo had already walked forward!

Going up along the river, I don't know how long I walked, but I still didn't find the village, Luo Chen said to Feng Xiaomo on horseback: "There is not a single family in this barren mountain and wild mountains, how can this be good!"

Feng Xiaomo snorted coldly and said, "Where you go... Don't talk nonsense, let's go!"

Luo Chen stopped and said, "Can we rest for a while, it's been almost a day, you ask if the 'horse' brother under the crotch is tired?"

Feng Xiaomo didn't speak, but was about to dismount, Luo Chen saw this, immediately stopped her, and said, "Okay, okay, don't come down, let's continue!" The words fell, and the two of them continued to move forward.

After a while, Luo Chen stopped again, pointed to the front and said, "Look, there's a cave there!"

Looking in the direction pointed by Luo Chen, I saw that there was a cliff not far ahead, and there was a huge hole under the cliff, and there were no dense trees or overgrown weeds at the entrance of the cave, it was very clean, as if someone lived in it permanently.
