Old Li finished chewing the rabbit leg in two mouthfuls. He watched Gu Xiao also immersed himself in eating. He didn't care about the oil on his hands and went to pull the rabbit meat again. Seeing this, Gu Xiao quickly bit the rabbit leg in his mouth and reached out to pull the rabbit. Meat.
"Young Master, eat slowly, don't choke." Seeing Gu Xiao come to take away the rabbit meat again, Lao Li quickly dissuaded him.
"Well, what are you talking about, Uncle Li. You said the same thing last time we had a barbecue. After I finished eating the meat in my mouth, I found that all I had left was a pile of bones." Biting the rabbit leg, Gu Xiao ignored his old age. Li tried to dissuade him, so he tore off another piece of meat, opened his bow left and right, and ate the meat.
"By the way, Uncle Li, didn't you just mean that you also had some good things to bring out?" Gu Xiao stuffed his mouth full of rabbit meat.
"Yeah...right." Lao Li's eating appearance at the moment didn't need to be much better than Gu Xiao's. After hearing Gu Xiao's reminder, he just remembered what he had in his arms and quickly grabbed the snow on the side and rubbed the grease off his hands. , took out a deerskin wine bag from his arms.
"Uncle Li, how brave are you to steal the master's wine bag?" Gu Xiao's eyes widened and he smiled.
"Young Master, I don't dare. I made this wine bag separately, but is it good stuff here?" Old Li approached Gu Xiao mysteriously: "When I went down to buy, I specially bought good wine from Liangzhou City. , but I have always been reluctant to drink it. Do you remember when you were a child, you were so curious that you naughtily took a sip of the master's sweet-scented osmanthus brew and fell asleep all day."
"Don't mention things from the past anymore. I didn't understand it when I was a child. I always saw the master drinking from the wine bag. I wanted to try something good, but I didn't expect it to be extremely spicy and unpleasant to drink." Gu Xiao heard this. He couldn't help but blush because of his childhood naughty things.
"Haha, young master, children are not suitable for drinking, but you are already eighteen, let's have a drink together." Old Li took out another wine cup, placed it in front of Gu Xiao, and popped open the stopper of the wine bag, but he didn't care about Gu Xiao Still holding rabbit meat in his hand, he filled Gu Xiao's glass of wine.
"I don't dare to drink it anymore. This wine is spicy and hard to enter the throat. I don't know why people in the world love it." The shadow of Gu Xiao's childhood came to mind at this moment. He secretly took a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus brew. After a while, he felt that the world was spinning and his body was spinning. Not under your own control. At this moment, seeing the delicious wine with hops in the wine cup in front of him, Gu Xiao still didn't dare to try it again.
"Hey, a man from the world, how can you not drink fine wine? As the saying goes, if you drink a sip of fairy wine... what's behind the fairy wine?" Lao Li smiled awkwardly, grabbed the wine bag and took a big sip.
Watching Uncle Li enjoy a sip of wine and a sip of meat, Gu Xiao swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth. He doubtfully picked up the wine cup and brought it to his mouth. He sniffed it with his nose first. It was still the spicy taste of his childhood memories. He couldn't help but frowned and looked at Uncle Li Duoyi's face again. He made up his mind and was about to take a sip when he suddenly saw a flash of white in front of him.
The wine cup next to Gu Xiao's mouth was filled with a gleam of white light, and the wine was spread all over the body. A white shadow flashed between Gu Xiao and Lao Li, and the rabbit meat on the shelf disappeared together with the white shadow.
Lao Li and Gu Xiao looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, they came to their senses. Gu Xiao stood up and said, "Steal my meat?" He immediately used Snow Tracing and chased the white shadow straight into the forest, leaving behind Lao Li sat alone by the fire.
Lao Li had a wine bottle in one hand and a piece of rabbit meat that he had just torn off in the other hand. Lao Li was stunned, looking at Gu Xiao chasing the white shadow away, and then at the large piece of rabbit in his hand. Meat and wine, the scars on his face turned red again, he smiled and said to himself: "I am drunk alone, but luckily I still have a piece of it." As he spoke, he ate rabbit meat and drank wine, without moving his body, thinking This monkey spirit young master has become a tyrant in the Wugui Mountain through self-fortification. Now there are still animals that dare to touch Gu Xiao's bad luck, so he can just enjoy the wine and meat in peace.
The white shadow was like the wind, running through the forest. Gu Xiao ran up the snow and chased after it. However, the white shadow picked up the secret snow of the forest and flew away. In winter, the forest is deep, dense with snow, and covered with ice. Gu Xiao As soon as he followed Gu Jian to the cliff of Wugui Mountain, he was already dizzy due to the ice. At this moment, the place where the white shadow was walking was even better than before. Even though Gu Xiao was so powerful in Qinggong, he still had to concentrate. He was avoiding it mentally, but the white shadow was very familiar with it, scurrying back and forth in the snow effortlessly.
Gu Xiao was full of energy and saw the shadow getting closer. He looked at it intently and saw that the white shadow seemed to be a ferret with a body of more than a foot. It was walking through the snow like the wind. Its short legs and feet were moving so fast that only the residual image could be seen. , the flat, triangular head sometimes looked back at Gu Xiao. At this moment, the ferret was holding half of Gu Xiao's barbecue in its mouth.
Gu Xiaowang looked serious, and shouted while chasing: "Little guy, do you know who I am, how dare you steal my things."
The ferret seemed to understand Gu Xiao's words, and suddenly stopped running while running, stood up, looked directly at Gu Xiao with its dark eyes, and let out "Gurgling" while holding the rabbit meat in its mouth. "The cry seemed to be mocking Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao heard the ferret's "clucking" sound, as if it was laughing at him. The bear was full of anger and chased after him. He picked off an ice edge and used it as a weapon. He threw his luck towards the ferret. The ice edge contained Gu Xiao's true energy. , the cold light flashed, and unexpectedly, the ferret just sniffed the air with its nose, and actually leaned down to avoid it. The ice edge brushed against the white body of the ferret, passed directly through the trunk of the tree behind him, and actually passed through the tree. . The ferret is strange again at this moment
Gu Xiao was extremely surprised when he saw that the ferret had avoided his attack. However, Gu Xiao was in front of the ferret in an instant, his fingers turned into claws, and he wanted to catch this little guy stealing meat. At that moment, the ferret ducked again, avoiding Gu Xiao's hand, and quickly got into the forest with jealousy.
When Gu Xiao saw the ferret playing with him, he smiled instead of getting angry: "Little guy, I will definitely catch you today." Texue chased forward.
Two figures, one green and one white, shuttled through the forest. From time to time, there were sounds of "gurgle" and Gu Xiao's roar, "Little guy, I almost caught you again, take advantage of my move." The air was mixed with ice. The sound of edges breaking through the air and the cracking sound of branches breaking.
Lao Li, who had already had enough wine and food, touched the oil on his mouth, listened carefully to the distant sounds, and said to himself: "Young Master, the overlord of 'No Return Mountain' has met his opponent? I It's better to go back and clean up first, lest the young master seizes the young man and asks me to help him." Old Li extinguished the fire with snow, burped, patted his belly and headed towards the thatched cottage.
Looking at Gu Xiao's side, a man and an animal have passed through the forest just now and came to the mountain stream. Gu Xiao is in an extremely embarrassed state at the moment, with some dead branches stuck in his long black hair, and the green cloak on his body is following the master. At that time, it was scratched in many places, and after the battle between humans and minks just now, the cotton wadding in the cloak had leaked out. The ferret also stood upright at this moment, its soft and pink belly was breathing heavily, and one person and one animal were facing each other in the water.
Gu Xiao stared at the ferret with wide eyes. The ferret looked at Gu Xiao with the rabbit meat in its mouth. Suddenly the ferret turned around and jumped into the river behind him. Gu Xiao chased after him. It turned out that it was cold in winter and the river had already frozen. , the ferret used the power of a leap to slide on the ice, crossed the river in a few breaths, disappeared into the boulders on the other side.
"Little thing, so cunning." Gu Xiao cursed in a low voice. He used his true energy and used Yun Zong. His body was like a wind roll, and he jumped across the river. Gu Xiao searched by the boulders by the river. There was no forest to block the snow. The marten will not disappear without reason, it must have a nest here.
Gu Xiao investigated carefully and finally found the ferret that had just disappeared in the shade of a boulder. At this moment, his rabbit meat was also lying quietly in the nest, and the ferret was staring at him with its paws upright, its back penetrated. The bow is bent, revealing the four upper and lower fangs, and a "hissing" sound is made in the throat, as if it is warning itself.
Looking behind the ferret, Gu Xiao found that it was protecting two ferrets that were slightly larger than him. The two ferrets were huddled up against each other. They were also milky white, but shriveled and lifeless. They seemed to have been dead for a long time. .
Gu Xiao instantly understood that the mountains were blocked by heavy snow and there was a shortage of food in the mountains. The ferret's parents may have died from lack of food, or they may have died from illness. The ferret had no idea and stole its own food to give to its parents. Gu Xiao's anger disappeared instantly, and a feeling of sympathy arose in his heart. He had no father or mother since he was a child, but he still had his master and Uncle Li to take care of him. Now that his parents are dead, this ferret is extremely pitiful.
"Little guy, you and I are in the same boat, so I'll give you this rabbit meat. But your relatives are deceased and should be buried as soon as possible." Gu Xiao said softly to the ferret.
The ferret seemed to sense that Gu Xiao's hostility had dissipated, and no longer bent over to confront each other. Instead, it snuggled next to the two dead ferrets, nuzzling their stiff bodies with its nose, and nuzzling them with its head. There is no response. Two dark eyes actually shed tears.
Gu Xiao thought about his own life experience in his heart and felt the same way. He seemed to comfort the ferret and said to himself: "Hey, little guy, they may be your favorite in the world, but now they have passed away. In everything, you must move forward. If not, let me help you bury them."
The ferret seemed to understand Gu Xiao's words, no longer snuggling up to protect its relatives, but slowly moved its body away with its head drooped.
Seeing that the ferrets were no longer hostile, Gu Xiao stretched out his hand and slowly lifted out the two ferret bodies. The little ferret looked at Gu Xiao's hands and let out a mournful cry.
Gu Xiao carried the ferret's body to the river, used his true energy in his palm to lift up a few inches of snow-covered land, placed the ferret's relatives in the soil, and buried them with soil.
Looking back, the ferret with his head drooped just now was approaching Gu Xiao, holding the stolen barbecue in his mouth and placing it next to Gu Xiao, as if he was still the same as Gu Xiao.
"Hey, you still know how to return it to me." Gu Xiao smiled and continued: "Forget it, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and it is difficult to find food. You can eat it."
The ferret looked at Gu Xiao, then at the rabbit meat, and started to eat.
Gu Xiao was sitting cross-legged next to the ferret, carefully stroking the ferret's milky white fur with his palms, and said softly: "Hey, little guy, you have no father or mother, and I have been lonely since I was a child. Why don't you and I work together from now on?" How about company?"
The ferret chewed the rabbit meat in his mouth. His mouth and tongue were stimulated by the fennel and pepper. He stuck his head into the snow and ate a few mouthfuls of snow before the spicy taste disappeared. After hearing what Gu Xiao said, he raised his head and looked at Gu Xiao for a moment. Then he rubbed Gu Xiao's hand with his head.
"Did you agree?" Gu Xiao said with a smile.
"Giggle."
"Okay, you can follow me from now on. I like to eat barbecue, and you also like to eat it. I will protect you from now on. You will not be bullied in this Wugui Mountain." Gu Xiao laughed.
