Chapter Seventy-Eight
The mud ball shattered, and Li Linxi screamed in disappointment, thinking that Ning Xiao was naughty and wanted to play with him, but he accidentally missed. The girl pursed her lips and sat down silently by the fire, picking up the branch and carrying the burning wood. After sitting down for a while, I saw Li Linxi's nose twitching slightly, if it weren't for Ning Xiao's constant attention, I was afraid that she would ignore her action. The girl's eyes lit up suddenly, and her gaze wandered to look at the mud ball that she didn't care about.
The mud on the surface of the mud ball was roasted alive, and as soon as it fell to the ground, it was cleanly broken into several parts. At this moment, the crumpled mud ball has been picked up by Ning Xiao, the young man removed the mud on the surface, and slightly uncovered the lotus leaf wrapped in the inner layer, and a mellow fragrance poured out of it, making people can't help but salivate after smelling it.
Li Linxi stood up, stepped on eight steps in a row, and turned around from Ning Xiao's body, and the food that Ning Xiao was holding in his hand reached the girl's hand. Sitting back at the campfire, Li Linxi carefully opened the lotus leaf, and what caught his eye was a golden roast chicken! The chicken head and chicken feathers had been disposed of, leaving only the whole chicken body coiled together, waiting for Li Linxi to enjoy.
Ning Xiao handed the Qingping sword to Li Linxi, who didn't know where to start, and then watched with a smile as Li Linxi waved this world-famous sword and turned it into a butcher's blade, dividing the whole chicken into several parts. As soon as the whole chicken was dissected, a white mist emerged from the chicken's belly, and a strange fragrance ten times stronger than just now permeated the small camp. Li Linxi looked carefully at the belly of the chicken, and then realized that it was stuffed with mushrooms and pine nuts, and the mushrooms absorbed the mellow aroma of the chicken and the fragrance of pine nuts, and spread the mellow and delicious taste of their own taste to the extreme! The girl ate a bite of the mushroom with great anticipation, and the delicate and smooth taste was perfectly combined with the thick and mellow taste, which made the girl can't help but squint her eyes and reveal a happy expression.
Ning Xiao saw that Li Linxi was satisfied with what he ate, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Although I haven't heard the sentence "If you want to catch a person, grab his stomach first", but the ignorant teenager always likes to show his best side to Li Linxi. I saw that Ning Xiao took another mud ball from the fire, this time he didn't throw it on the ground and break it, but used his internal force to slap it with one palm, and the mud around the chicken body had fallen clean. opened the lotus leaf, it was the same chicken again, Ning Xiao refused the sword handed by Li Linxi, closed his eyes and opened his mouth to bite directly on the body of the chicken, but this inevitable bite was actually empty!
Ning Xiao covered his empty mouth, opened his eyes and looked up, and found that a man in a short shirt appeared next to him at some point, his hair was meticulously combed, but the whole person was a little dusty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. It's just that this senior in the rivers and lakes is squatting next to Ning Xiao at the moment, holding a greasy chicken in his hand, and eating happily. Ning Xiao looked at it fixedly, hey, why is this chicken so familiar?
The man was eating happily, and he didn't look at Ning Xiao, the owner of the chicken, and ate the food in his hand intently, not even letting go of the crispy bones on the chicken joints, and his gobbling attitude made Ning Xiao stunned.
After being stunned for a while, Ning Xiao pursed his lips, took out a mud ball from the fire, smashed it and quickly took a bite, "Hehe, fortunately, I was prepared!" After chewing two bites, he swallowed the chicken into his stomach, and Ning smiled triumphantly.
As early as when the man in the short shirt first appeared, Li Linxi stopped his movements and looked at the other party vigilantly, but when she saw that Ning Xiao didn't mind at all, but took out another identical delicacy from the bonfire, the girl couldn't help but be a little speechless, this guy with thick lines is used to the chaos of all kinds of people on the road?
"Little brother, your chicken is really amazing!" The man who was the first to finish the food in his hand smacked his lips and said, "I have traveled all over the north and south of the river, and I have never eaten such a delicious chicken~"
"Hmph, that's~ This is a delicacy that I specially researched, and only my brother and I knew how to do it before that~" Being praised, Ning Xiao didn't know how to be modest at all, and said triumphantly, causing Li Linxi on the side to roll his eyes.
As if moved by the brotherly affection between Ning Xiao's words, the man in the short shirt bowed slightly, and spoke again: "I don't know what the name of this chicken is? How did you and your brother come up with it? This way of eating is unheard of, presumably you brothers must have come up with it because they were bored with food and clothing, right? It made me have oral administration~"
Between the words of the man in the short shirt, he unconsciously carried a trace of contempt for the rich and noble, which made Li Linxi a little disliked. However, Ning Xiao didn't hear it, but said: "What kind of name?Oh, the name?I haven't thought about it before~ This chicken was caught by Su Po and I once caught a pheasant in the forest, and there was nothing to make it with spices and other things, so I studied it with a whim, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly delicious~~ Since it was me and Su Po who came up with it, it was simply called Huaji!"
The man in the short shirt couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard the answer that was diametrically opposite to what he imagined. And Ning Xiao calmly said the origin of the name Huaji, and never felt sorry for himself because of what happened to him, and he was faintly impressed in his heart.
The atmosphere was unconsciously a little embarrassing, which made Li Linxi a little unhappy, so the girl said, "Then how do you call Huaji?"
Speaking of food, Ning Xiao was always a little proud, and only heard him say: "Kill the chicken and pluck the feathers, remove the internal organs, fill in the mushrooms and pine nuts, wrap the lotus leaves tightly, and wrap them in clean river mud." Then put it in the campfire and heat it up~ and finally break it and eat it!
"It's very simple~ But it's not easy to say. Li Linxi said, "In March, where did you find the pine nuts?"
"The squirrel nest took it~" Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, the squirrel often stores food everywhere, and in the end I forgot where it is~ Besides, I also kept the steamed buns, which can be regarded as exchanging with them~"
"No wonder the pine nuts are vaguely a little bitter, it turned out to be last year's pine nuts...... No!" The girl's face changed suddenly, and she asked in a cold voice, "Mushrooms and pine nuts, how did you get them in the belly of the chicken?"
Ning smiled and said indifferently: "Don't care about these details~~~"
Ning Xiao chatted warmly with Li Linxi, which made the short-shirted man on the side a little uncomfortable. At this moment, the two chatted a little leisurely, so they interjected: "I see that the son's instrument is bright and magnificent, and his bearing is extraordinary, and he hasn't asked for the name of the high surname?"
Before Ning Xiao could answer, Li Linxi hurriedly said: "Before asking someone else's name, you should introduce yourself first, right? And don't forget that someone came up and ate someone's chicken without saying a word." β
The man in the short shirt smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly introduced himself: "I'm sorry, I was too Meng Lang just now." Under the surname Yin, the name is Tianqiu. β
"Yin Tianqiu!!" Ning Xiao exclaimed!
Li Linxi was still a little ignorant at the moment, why did he suddenly have a name that surprised Ning Xiao so much? Could it be that he was a very powerful person?
Ning Xiao saw Li Linxi's confused appearance, so she didn't know who she was in front of her, and hurriedly flattered: "I didn't expect that my predecessor was the head of the three major chivalrous heroes in the rivers and lakes - 'jealousy and hatred' Yin Tianqiu Yin Daxia!"
Yin Tianqiu was a little embarrassed, what is the scene of this storytelling? What are his titles? Is it necessary to say all the titles one by one? I seem to have met a fan, so I should sign next, right? Do I want to sign or not? Anyway, I haven't practiced my handwriting yet......
Ning Xiao's mouth is flattery, but it is actually the foundation of introducing the person in front of Li Linxi. It's just that the girl didn't appreciate it, but pouted and said: "I didn't say anything after eating someone else's dinner, and I was a heroβ_β"
Yin Tianqiu was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and saw that he was embarrassed to take out a thread-bound book from his arms, which was very beautifully packaged. Yin Tianqiu groaned, took out a pen out of nowhere, wrote something on the title page, and then handed it to Ning Xiao.
Ning Xiao was worried in her heart, this senior wouldn't be so squeezed by Li Linxi that he wanted to give him some peerless martial arts, right? Do you want to read it? If you read it, what if he regrets it? You won't kill yourself, right? No matter, I'll take the name first and enjoy it! As soon as she gritted her teeth, Ning Xiao took the thread-bound book and looked towards the cover -- "The Self-cultivation of a Hero", written by Yin Tianqiu.
"(βoβ)..."Ning Xiao didn't know what to say for a while.
Yin Tianqiu saw that Ning Xiao's face was wrong, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what to give you, fortunately, I met a strange woman a few days ago, and she had to help me print the book." I have printed this book of the experience of chivalry and righteousness over the years, I see that you are young, I am afraid that there is not much experience in the rivers and lakes, this book may be of some help to you, I hope you can follow the path of goodness in the future, do not go astray. Yin Tianqiu's bitter words made Ning Xiao's face slightly better. Li Linxi watched the interaction between the two on the side, knowing that Ning Xiao was only afraid that he would make a lot of money at this moment, so he immediately stopped making a sound, so as not to remind Yin Tianqiu of himself.
Ning Xiao took "The Self-cultivation of the Hero" into his arms, although he had seen what Yin Tianqiu wrote on the title page before, but now is obviously not the time to read this. The young man introduced his and Li Linxi's names to Yin Tianqiu, and when Yin Tianqiu heard the word "Ning Xiao", his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "Where do I seem to have heard this name......
Ning Xiao heard the words in Yin Tianqiu's mouth clearly, secretly happy in his heart, and gave Li Linxi a smug look, "Look! Even a hero like Yin Tianqiu has heard of my name Ning Xiao!"
Li Linxi responded to Ning Xiao with a speechless look, "What reputation can you have in the rivers and lakes that can make a hero like Yin Tianqiu hear about it?"
The two exchanged a few back and forth with their eyes, but they were interrupted by Yin Tianqiu's sudden shout, "I remember! You are Ning Xiao!"
Ning Xiao was a little speechless and said, "Yes, I said a long time ago that I was Ning Xiao......"
"When I passed by Fuji Mountain, I heard that the Seven Star Sect's teachings were nowhere to be found, and the entire Seven Star Sect was looking for their leader. It is said that the last person who saw Zhang Buer was a Jianghu kid named Ning Xiao, so the deputy sect of the Seven Star Sect advocated that Sanyu specially issued a reward, and anyone who could provide information about Ning Xiao's whereabouts would be rewarded with a gold~" Yin Tianqiu's mouth kept talking, and he said a news that made Ning Xiao and Li Linxi stunned.
"Just because I was the last person to see Zhang Bu'er, the Seven Star Sect thinks I have something to do with Zhang Bu'er's disappearance?" Ning Xiao asked a little angrily.
"Who knows what the Seven Star Sect thinks?" maybe I just want to ask you about the last time you saw Zhang Buji, right?" Yin Tianqiu said calmly.
"Zhang Buer wants to go to the source of the river to enlighten, it has nothing to do with me~" Ning Xiao said with a word that Zhang Buer's whereabouts, Li Linxi wanted to dissuade but didn't have time, thought about it and didn't say anything.
Yin Tianqiu's eyes flashed, but he said: "It's useless for you to tell me about this matter~"
Yin Tianqiu said it, Ning Xiao listened to it in his ears, and said in surprise: "Oh, don't you want to catch me and go to the Seven Star Sect to get a bounty?"
The man in the short shirt smiled proudly and said indifferently: "I'm Yin Tianqiu!"
Ning Xiao nodded, well, this is a very convincing reason. "It seems that I have to go back to the Seven Star Sect to explain it first!" Ning Xiao said to Li Linxi.
"There's no need to go back to the Seven Star Sect so much trouble!" Yin Tianqiu scratched his head, "Zhang Sanyu doesn't care about Fujishan at the moment, but in the Green Dragon Gang's Jimai City. β
"Huh, isn't this the only way to go to the Blue Dragon Gang? We haven't seen anyone walking on the road along the way?" Li Linxi turned into a problem baby and once again raised his own questions.
"Because Zhang Sanyu was not in Fuji Mountain, he just got the news of Zhang Buer's disappearance in Fuji Mountain. This is also the reason why I think he may just want to find Ning Xiao to ask about the situation at that time. If it is really determined that Zhang Buji was killed by Ning Xiao, it is estimated that it will not be exchanged for a bounty with news, but with the parts on Ning Xiao's body in exchange for a bounty or even a martial arts cheats~" Yin Tianqiu talked eloquently.
"Hehe......" Ning Xiao did not echo Yin Tianqiu's joke head-on, hehe is really an all-powerful answer.
"Anyway, this time the six major factions gathered in Jimai City, it is the biggest martial arts event in recent years since the second Dahe Martial Arts Debate~" Yin Tianqiu suddenly changed his mouth and said something that surprised Ning Xiao and Li Linxi.
"The six major factions gather in Jimai City?" Ning Xiao and Li Linxi were surprised in unison.
"That's right, I'm also because of this incident this time, so I used my peerless light skills at the mouth of the northeast river of the Sword Washing Palace to cross the river to Fuji Mountain and go to Jimai City, so I have a chance to feast on it~" Yin Tianqiu praised his luck.
"What happened in Jimai City to make the six major factions appear together?" Ning Xiao was a little confused.
"Oh no!" Yin Tianqiu slapped his thigh, stood up, and said as he walked: "The Qinglong Gang is in civil strife, and Zhang Youji, a medical immortal with countless living people, is besieged in Jimai City. I'm here to mediate this matter, and if I can't do it, I have to rescue Zhang Youji!"
"What!" Ning Xiao was shocked!
