The snowflakes are very light and soft, but when they are thick, they show a completely different taste, and the sound of tree branches breaking in the mountains and forests is endless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Not only dead branches, but also those trunks that stretch out more and branch more on a daily basis, but bear more weight, and often when the breeze blows and sways, it is difficult to bear and suddenly breaks, revealing extremely fresh fractures.

Ye Xinhe wore an old yellow bamboo hat on his head and straw sandals on his feet, walking on the mountain snow track.

The snow on the mountain road is so thick that it doesn't reach your ankles when you step on it, and even the hunters in the mountains have closed their doors, and the mountains are silent and cold.

There is a small courtyard in the valley with dry wood as a fence, which looks crumbling in the snow, but there is smoke in the bark chimney on the eaves, and there is fire inside, but it gives people a warm feeling.

Ye Xinhe, like a traveler who came from afar to visit friends but encountered heavy snow unexpectedly, came to this small courtyard unhurriedly, pushed open the simple firewood courtyard door, and walked into the small courtyard.

The wooden house, which looked a little fragile in the wind and snow, was very simple, except for a hammock made of animal skins, and there was only a stone stove with a stone pot on it.

Some of the leaky walls were rich in millet and dried meat, as well as some dried wild vegetables and various dried mushrooms for seasoning.

The flames in the stone stove were not very strong, and some of the dry wood had turned into red charcoal fires, illuminating half of the face of the owner of the wooden house.

This is a middle-aged hunter.

At least he was dressed like this, but compared to ordinary hunters, even in such a humble room, he looked clean, even pure.

His clothes were also stained with dust and smoke, but the marks were new.

Because as he breathes, there is always some strange force that pushes the old dust away from his body.

His skin had a jade-like sheen in the firelight, glowing with fluorescence.

What he was cooking at this time was a snake soup, the white jade-like snake meat in the light rice porridge was tumbling non-stop, and at this time he had just added some chopped dried wild vegetables like jade, and he was holding a wooden spoon and turning it slowly, very patient.

The aroma and sweetness of a well-cooked soup are softly emanated, and like the warm firelight, you can even forget the chill for a while.

"Winter snake soup seems to be a little out of place. ”

Ye Xinhe raised his eyebrows slightly, he sat down opposite the middle-aged hunter, baked a pair of straw sandals, and looked at the pot of snake soup at the same time, and said slowly.

Listening to his words, the middle-aged hunter smiled slightly, and said: "This is the unique yellow flower snake in the mountains of Yuyang County, originally devoured the yellow croaker seedlings when the yellow flowers bloomed in the mountains, the most fat, but too fat and greasy, if you don't get tired of eating, the real pursuit of the ultimate in taste, in fact, it is the best in winter, the meat is thin and delicate, delicious to the extreme, plus the dried cabbage dried in the autumn to the present, it is a perfect match." There will be no more delicious soup in the entire Yan Realm. ”

"The spring thunder resounds and everything recovers, the yellow snake is easy to catch when it comes out of the hole, although you think the yellow snake is too fat at that time, but it is easier to catch than when you are covered by heavy snow, at this time the winter is cold, it chooses the hole and ambushes, dead and silent, even the cultivator is difficult to find, to get this pot of soup, it takes a lot of effort, it is a little out of place. Ye Xinhe also smiled faintly and spoke eloquently.

Hearing these words, the middle-aged Orion smiled even more and shook his head: "Although I am really the strongest Yan Sect Master in the Yuyang area, I have been living in seclusion for many years, and for you it is the world's rivalry, but for me, no matter how your dynasty changes, it is not as good as my current pot of soup." However, you still came from afar, afraid that I would make a move. Even if you see me patiently cooking soup here, but still have the killing intent, it is a little out of place. ”

"If you are not of my race, you are an alien. Ye Xinhe's face was still gentle, but he said bluntly, "After all, I don't feel at ease." ”

"When you came, you eased the snow trail in this mountain, and looked at the traces I left in this mountain, and your confidence and momentum became more perfect in this courtyard, you must have felt that you have absolute confidence in killing me, if I am not used by you, you will kill me, but it is a pity, it is still out of time. The middle-aged hunter put down the wooden spoon, took out a few pieces of charcoal fire from the stone stove, put them in a black stone basin beside him, and then looked at Ye Xinhe, and said with a smile: "Because this snake soup I am not used exclusively, but specially used to entertain a guest who came from afar, in addition to this snake soup, there is also a dish of grilled fish, the fish is cold lake white water fish, the person who takes the fish has been waiting for you here for many days, he is here, you can't kill me if you come." ”

Ye Xinhe's face remained unchanged, but his brows furrowed deeply.

He stopped talking, and at this point he had already sensed the arrival of a breath, a breath that he was somewhat familiar with.

He knew who the person was coming, and his body was a little shaken, a little nervous, a little frightened, but also a little excited, a little expectant.

The sound of snow outside the courtyard sounded again.

The lake was a long way from here, but Ding Ning had already arrived.

When he pushed the door and was illuminated by the firelight, the big fish in his hand was not dead, but the surface was slightly frosty, the body of the fish was a little stiff, but the tail was still swinging.

Ye Xinhe looked at Ding Ning who walked in and was silent.

Ding Ning didn't talk to him for the first time, but just handed the fish to the middle-aged hunter.

"Just right. ”

The middle-aged hunter was very satisfied, and smiled like a peach blossom in spring, he took a stone knife and cut open the belly of the fish, but only cleaned the internal organs, did not wash the blood and remove the scales, but stuffed some dried meat and dried mushrooms in the belly of the fish, and several kinds of seasoned weeds, which were roasted on the charcoal fire.

The body of the fish is sizzling, and the oil and water gradually seep out from between the scales, and the fish scales become golden and soaked with oil, making it look strangely beautiful.

"The snake soup is just right, and after drinking a bowl of fish, you will eat fish, and then another bowl of snake soup, there will be no better taste and satisfaction than this. The middle-aged Orion smiled at Ding Ning and Ye Xinhe.

"A bowl?"

Ding Ning took the first bowl of snake soup scooped out by the middle-aged Orion and asked Ye Xinhe.

Ye Xinhe's face was as usual, he took the second bowl of snake soup scooped out by the middle-aged Orion, drank it slowly, and ate all the snake segments in it, then looked at Ding Ning and said, "You should know that I am from Jiaodong County?"

Ding Ning nodded, and said calmly: "I invite you to drink this bowl of snake soup, not only for the past friendship, but also to ask you, although you are from Jiaodong County, you must hide in the shadows, and you can't enjoy the aura of Jiaodong County and the status she has after that like Zheng Sleeve, but for this reason, you betrayed many people who regard you as a true best friend, why is this?"

The middle-aged hunter also restrained his smile and said, "I can't figure it out if I change it, so I also agree that he invited you to eat this bowl of snake soup." ”

Ye Xinhe put down the bowl in his hand and tilted his head slightly, as if in contemplation.
