Meng Li was tired from walking yesterday, and the sun was shining on her butt the next day, so Meng Li got up.
Lu Mu sat at the door of the tent, bathed in a layer of sunlight.
He didn't know what he was thinking and remained motionless for a long time.
Meng Li picked up a branch from the ground and poked him.
Lu Mu turned his face sideways, his eyebrows cool.
"My wife is awake."
Meng Li only felt that the feeling on the man was different from the past few days.
It seemed like he was back to the beginning, with a caring tone but no emotion in his eyes.
Speaking of the front, there is still a bit of friendship that we have been together for a long time.
However, a man's character is hard to figure out, so Meng Li didn't think too much and handed him the toothbrush, toothpaste and cup. Now the family is used to using these modern supplies.
He also threw a water bag at him.
There is no water nearby, so we have to make do with it.
Meng Li hurriedly washed up and set up a pot to make breakfast. Lu Mu came over with a bundle of firewood.
While cooking porridge, Meng Li killed abalone and Lu Mu took crab roe.
Of course, keep the other crab meat and put it in the pot to cook together.
Soon, the fragrant abalone and crab roe porridge came out of the oven, and Meng Li sprinkled a little green onion on it.
Hand a bowl to the man.
Listening to the chirping of the birds in the forest is crisp and sweet, and the cool breeze blowing across your face in the sunshine is very comfortable.
Meng Li sat on the ground, eating porridge and relaxing.
Even in such a deep mountain and old forest, she slept very well last night. She was not worried at all about wild beasts appearing near the tent or mice nibbling her toes.
If Lu Mu leaves one day, she won't have so much sense of security when she goes up the mountain.
Meng Li decided to find more herbs and plant more in the space before that day comes.
Not only herbs, but also some very expensive ingredients are used to stew delicious soups and have various effects on the body. In fact, they are just like medicinal materials. Everything in the world can be used as medicine.
The two medicinal herbs were growing in a deep ditch on this hillside, and Lu Mu went down to dig them out.
When encountering a dangerous place, a man should go up alone. If there is someone blocking the way in front of him, the man is still responsible for opening the way, but something is different.
It was as if something had been pulled away, and there wasn't much of that kind of thing in the first place.
Meng Li couldn't help but wonder.
"Lu Mu, do you have a problem with me?" Rather than not understanding, it's better to ask directly.
"No."
"Then what's wrong with you?"
"nor."
When Lu Mu answered, his tone was as calm as his face.
"Why are you asking these things?" Meng Li was asked in return.
"I just think there's something different about you."
"I've always been like this. If you need any help from me, just ask me."
Meng Li sighed.
She just felt that Lu Mu had gained some humanity, but now he was completely like an emotionless NPC.
That was fine. She was also worried that the warmth and gentleness that Lu Mu showed from time to time would make her heartbeat accidentally one day and she would be reluctant to let him leave.
Meng Li didn't notice that the man's face twitched slightly, his eyes darkened a little, and there was a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.
After finding more than a dozen medicinal herbs, most of the afternoon passed and I went home.
This time I harvested more than 20 medicinal herbs, most of which are leafy and can be planted into many plants.
Look at the distance. It's dozens of miles away from home. It will be dark when we get back.
I'm a little worried about my eldest brother and the others, but thinking about it, Lu Mu's brother went to the house yesterday and should explain the situation to his family.
Lu Mu was indifferent, and Meng Li was a little angry herself. She didn't say a word all the way back.
I didn't want to talk, so I walked faster. In addition, the road had already passed in front of me and it was smooth. When I got home, it was just dark.
In the yard, the aroma of rice wafts out, and you can also smell the familiar aroma of my little sister cooking.
Originally, Meng Li thought it would be fun to cook and eat with Lu Mu in the wild. But now she changed her mind. It would be better to eat with her family.
She strode into the courtyard, leaving the man behind.
Lu Mu glanced at Meng Li's back. Sure enough, if he was colder, she would not be enthusiastic at all——
He was originally taciturn, but in the past she would always pick some topics to chat about.
But today, not a word.
A strange carriage stopped in the yard, and Meng Wu was feeding the horse grass.
He fed the horse and looked at the sky. It was already this time, and his eldest sister and brother-in-law were not back yet.
There was a hint of sadness in the man's brow.
Hearing the movement outside the door, Meng Wu saw Meng Li, and then Lu Mu also came in.
The man breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew that the two of them must have gone to the mountains. Those herbs could not be found in the nearby mountains.
But Lu Mu has martial arts skills, and his eldest sister is smart. She comes back safe and sound every time, which makes her feel relieved. Even if she goes away for a long time, the hearts of the family will be in a state of anxiety.
After a few words of greeting, Meng Wu said: "Mr. Jiang is here. He just arrived."
In the main room, there was an old man sitting, drinking tea.
The old man's body is thin and his hair and beard are all white, but his face is red and his eyes are bright, and he seems to be in good spirits.
It's just that he traveled a long distance and was a little tired from the journey.
Meng Ning sat in front of Mr. Jiang and poured tea for Mr. Jiang, modestly and respectfully.
Mr. Jiang observed Meng Ning silently. He had taught too many students. Although the man in front of him was so old and not yet enlightened, he could tell that he was sincere and kind-hearted and had a very smart mind.
He came all the way here because he was worried about meeting some bad students, so he felt relieved when he saw that he was a good match.
"Mr. Jiang, I am old, but I will study hard and study hard. I will scold you when I need to, and slap my palms when I need to. Don't be embarrassed just because I am older," Meng Ning said.
Mr. Jiang laughed cheerfully: "Don't mention it's you. I've dealt with students in their forties and fifties. Don't worry, I won't show mercy to you."
"Although you opened the door at such an old age, the most important thing in this world is to use your heart. If you use your heart, you will become more familiar. If you become more familiar, you will become more skillful. If you become more skillful, you will become a better person."
Although it was just ordinary chatting now, Meng Ning listened carefully and remembered it carefully.
Meng Li walked into the living room with a smile on her face: "We are cooking dinner at home. Does Mr. Jiang have any taboos?"
Mr. Jiang looked over at her and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In such a remote place, there was such a girl with such a wise and insightful face.
If he were a boy, he might not even be able to win three yuan in the future.
"I eat both light and spicy food. If I'm not picky, I'll pick on the students." Mr. Jiang said in an easy-going way.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, thank you for your hard work coming all the way. Let's have some tea and rest first. I'm busy going, so I'm sorry." Meng Li went out apologetically.
There was not only good tea on the table, but also several dishes of snacks. She was not at home, and the eldest brother and the others also did everything right.
Lu Mu entered the hall, and Mr. Jiang looked at him with a look of respect.
Just when he was about to call out Mr. Fu, he thought of something and said, "This is Mr. Lu, right? The one just now -?"
