Chapter 15: The Young Man in Blue

Luo Xiaosang's life in Panjia Village was simple and happy, and after the initial freshness period, he was once again intoxicated with the cultivation of the Heavenly Qi Technique. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, with the second-layer mental method taught by Yi Xuan, the cultivation was much smoother again, although it was not as fast as before, but it was finally gained day by day. Thinking of perseverance and finally being able to soar into the sky like my brothers, I can't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm.

There is a small town called Hebian Town, which is more than 30 miles away from Panjia Village, and it is the only densely populated place within a radius of several hundred miles in the mountainous area.

The riverside town was originally just a relatively low-lying area near the river, and the villagers of the surrounding small villages often passed by here for hunting, and some simple trading here was formed, and over time a market was formed, and then a small town was formed.

Panjia Village is located in a mountain col, and some supplies can only be bought in Dehebian Town. When he first arrived, Pan Sanshun took Luo Xiaosang twice, and then went to retreat, explaining that he needed to buy some necessary things in the future and let Luo Xiaosang go by himself. Today is the day to go to the market to buy, Luo Xiaosang put down his practice and left Panjia Village to go to the market.

I bought what I needed, and when I was rushing back, I walked through an inn, and the smell of food wafted from the store, like an invisible hand seducing Luo Xiaosang's appetite, and there was nothing in his stomach, so Luo Xiaosang walked into the store.

The inn was brightly lit, and since there was no food, there were not many people inside. When the shopkeeper saw the guests coming, he greeted him with a familiar smile and said, "This little brother, do you want to stay or eat?"

Luo Xiaosang had never entered the inn to eat, but he had just heard the master talk about the things in the inn, so he said carefully: "I'm eating, just come to the specialty dishes in the two stores." ”

"Okay, please. The shopkeeper welcomed Luo Xiaosang to a position inside, turned around and went to the kitchen.

It's okay to be idle, Luo Xiaosang was quite curious, and looked around, all of them were hunters and traders coming and going, but there seemed to be a person sitting inside, about the same age as himself, but his face was facing the inside, and he didn't see it very really, and he was about to look carefully, and the shopkeeper had already shouted and brought the food up.

"This little brother, I see that you are also the first time to come to our store, this store is a time-honored brand in Riverside Town, it has been passed down for decades from my shopkeeper's father, and the dishes are the most authentic. Try it, this is a steamed tail fish, three-chopped horned loin and stir-fried baby vegetables. ”

Luo Xiaosang's index finger moved, although the style of these three small dishes is simple, and the holding tools are average, but they are full of color and fragrance, so I don't know how they taste.

Luo Xiaosang tried it one by one, and felt that the taste was first-class, so he said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, this steamed tail fish, the taste is really delicious, it can be seen that live fish is used as the main ingredient, with spices, hemp tongue grass and fennel beans and other auxiliary materials, the freshness and tenderness of the fish are set off very well, but I seem to have tasted another seasoning, but I can't recognize what it is; But why do you have to chop it three times? Finally, this stir-fried baby dish looks crisp, but it has a slight bite, tough and not old, swallowing it can be sweet in the throat, I don't know where I can buy this baby called vegetables?"

"Hehe, this little brother is really a connoisseur, he can actually eat the ingredients inside, could it be that you are also a colleague?"

"Hehe, I often help out in the kitchen, and I have a little research on cooking, but I haven't seen these three dishes. Luo Xiaosang replied.

The shopkeeper is talkative, and said: "Tell you, the tail fish is a unique fish species of the small Xinghe outside the town by our river, and it must be more and more very much to catch the most delicious when it is most active, and one of the ingredients inside is made by the store, which will give you endless aftertaste; And this horned beast is from the mountains behind, and the hunters often hit ......"

Swallowed Loukou's saliva and continued: "But don't think that you can use it directly into the dish, you have to chop the meat, and then chop it after steaming, so three times, of course, the auxiliary materials are indispensable, and finally stew for three or two hours before it is the most delicious; I took advantage of this time to pick it, immediately soaked it in water, and used it to stir-fry, leaving a fragrance on my teeth and cheeks. ”

The little second brother made the three dishes clear one by one, and then went to the rest.

However, Luo Xiaosang had a great appetite, and even ate three bowls of rice, and even ate the juice at the bottom of the plate to feel enjoyable.

However, in the middle of the meal, it seemed that he always felt like he was being stared at, and when he looked up, he couldn't find it, Luo Xiaosang felt a little inexplicable, could it be that the appearance of eating just now was too ugly and made people laugh?

But after a while, he didn't think about it anymore, just reminisced about the taste of the food, and wondered if he could learn to make it if he could find the ingredients next time, and let the Yi Xingyun brothers and sisters taste it. It's a pity that the master is worried that he will rush back to Panjia Village, otherwise he can communicate with the cook.

After finishing the meal, I went out of the inn, and suddenly saw an old woman kneeling on the side of the street, with ragged clothes and messy hair, and strangely enough, she knelt quietly, and no one stopped around.

Just as he was about to walk over, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side, saying, "Hey, do you want to go over to see that old woman?"

Luo Xiaosang turned his head to look, only to see that under the slanting sun in the afternoon, a young man in a light blue robe was looking at himself, the young man's eyebrows were delicate, his nose was high, his skin was white and his lips were red, his hair was in a bun and hidden in the boy's hat, and what was more eye-catching was a pair of eyes, deep as the sea, reflecting the afterglow of the slanting sun, making people look at it and fall into it, looking back to know what year the world was.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze, fool. It turned out that Luo Xiaosang looked stupid, and the young man saw that Luo Xiaosang only knew how to be in a daze, so he shouted angrily, but this anger, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, and the autumn waves' eyes, made Luo Xiaosang's heart beat even more.

Luo Xiaosang's face was slightly hot, what was wrong with him? Why was he so out of shape? But this young man was so handsome, it was estimated that he couldn't even compare to his good brother Yi Xingyun. After rectifying his mentality, Luo Xiaosang replied, "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else is there but you, fool. The young man seemed to be more angry, and continued, "I ask you, do you want to go and see the old woman?"

Luo Xiaosang felt a little strange and replied: "Yes, I saw her kneeling on the side of the road at such an age, and the people around her didn't care, I wondered if I could do my best." ”

"You don't have to go, I tell you, that man is a liar. After you passed, she would tell you that all her family had died of illness, and that she could not be buried because she was poor, and that she would ask you for silver taels. The boy said.

"Why do you know she's a liar?" might it be true?" Luo Xiaosang asked rhetorically.

"Fool, that person has appeared in the market many times, and every time he says the same thing, don't you see that the people here ignore her?" Seeing that Luo Xiaosang didn't seem to believe it, the young man was a little anxious.

"Thank you, brother, but the master has always taught me that those who are in trouble on the road are a little bit of a small effort that is necessary for me in the righteous and chivalrous way. I was deceived, and I didn't want someone in need to find themselves in greater trouble because they didn't get some help. After a slight groan, Luo Xiaosang replied with a smile.

"Fool, you really want to go over, I said that she is a liar, why don't you believe it, hey......" Before the young man finished speaking, Luo Xiaosang turned around and went to the old woman's kneeling, took out the silver left over from shopping on her body and gave it to her, and looked at the old woman and thanked her.

This move was so angry that the young man stomped his feet, but at this time, Luo Xiaosang was standing stupidly in place and waving to the old woman who was far away, and the young man saw it, but he smiled slowly.

"Hey, fool, you're such a fool, you know you're going to be cheated, and you still have to give her the silver taels. The young man quietly walked to Luo Xiaosang's side, his eyes shining brightly.

Luo Xiaosang's face flushed, and he sneered: "Hehe, I think what she said seems to be true." The young man didn't refute, his eyes just glanced at Luo Xiaosang, waved his hand, turned around and left, just walked a few steps, and turned back and said, "Hey, fool, what's your name?"

Luo Xiaosang was stunned for a moment, and said unconsciously: "My name is Luo Xiaosang." ”

"People are stupid, and names are even more stupid. The young man groaned twice and turned away, but Luo Xiaosang clearly heard a few crisp laughs, as well as a few green silks that fluttered slightly in the afterglow of the slanting sun, swirling around his ears, step by step as if stepping on the tune, and disappeared at the corner of the street.

Luo Xiaosang was stunned, and waited for all the figures to be lost, so he came back to his senses and realized what happened to him today, why he kept losing his mind, and he should ask the name of the person to be considered a courtesy.

Rushing back outside the riverside town, the mountain road is rugged, although it is difficult to walk, but Luo Xiaosang has been used to playing in the mountains since he was a child, and with the results of the cultivation of the Heavenly Qi Technique, it is difficult for him.

In less than an hour, he was already halfway there. When I turned the mountain road, I suddenly saw a person sitting by the woods in front of me, and when I got closer, I found that it was the old woman I had just met on the street.

"Old woman, why are you sitting here, and your family is buried?" asked Luo Xiaosang, who stepped forward.

"Little brother benefactor, it's you, thank you, thanks to you, my relatives can be buried safely. They were buried in the forest in front of them, and my brother had to go with me to their graves, so that my family could also thank their benefactors and pray for their longevity. The old woman stood up trembling.

"The old woman doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture. Luo Xiaosang helped the old woman, and wanted to excuse herself, but the old woman grabbed Luo Xiaosang's wrist and insisted that Luo Xiaosang go with her.

Walking deeper and deeper in the forest, half an hour has passed, and the burial place of the old woman's relatives has still not arrived, during which Luo Xiaosang asked, and the old woman just replied that it was almost there, almost there, but she still went inside.

"Mother-in-law, has the place arrived?" After walking for a while, Luo Xiaosang finally couldn't help but ask again. It's not that Luo Xiaosang is anxious, it's just that I'm worried that if I delay any longer, maybe the master will have to find him.

"It's here. The old woman let go of Luo Xiaosang's hand and smiled.

"Where?" Luo Xiaosang looked around, only to see that the trees were thick, the bushes were thick, and there were no tombstones or graves.

"It's here," the old woman smiled again, but the smile changed, and seemed to be hideous. Before Luo Xiaosang could speak, the back of his head shook violently, and his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground, not knowing what to do.
