"Master Xiaolu, here are the steamed buns."
"Oh, thank you."
The caravan was moving slowly and leisurely. Lin Xiaolu was sitting on a carriage loaded with boxes, while Wang Yun with two braids was beside him, staring straight at him with her big eyes.
The young man took the steamed bun and took a careful bite. He didn't dare to look at Wang Yun. He felt that there was something wrong with this woman. She always stared at him. She had been like this since she woke up in the morning. It was very strange.
"Taoist Master Xiaolu, your martial arts can blow up such a thick tree with one punch. It's really powerful."
When the young man heard her praise, he nodded blankly and replied calmly: "I know."
"Taoist Master, can you teach me martial arts?" Wang Yun continued to ask with a smile.
Lin Xiaolu responded casually: "It's very difficult. You have to suffer a lot if you want to learn."
"It's okay, you can teach me slowly." Wang Yun continued chatting awkwardly while looking at the young man in front of her. The more she looked at Lin Xiaolu, the more she liked him. In her fourteen years of life, the young man in front of her was the best she had ever seen. The most beautiful person ever.
"Yun'er, come here." When she was thinking about the topic and preparing to continue to learn about this mysterious young man, her father Wang Lei's voice came from the carriage in front of her.
"Here you go, dad." The girl responded impatiently, then looked at Lin Xiaolu and smiled: "My dad called me, and we will chat later." After saying that, he jumped out of the moving carriage, and the little girl Blushing, he ran to the front of the caravan to find his father.
As soon as the girl left, Lin Xiaolu curled his lips. He didn't want to talk to this young lady named Wang Yun at all. He kept chattering along the way, which was really noisy.
At the carriage at the head of the caravan, the girl hurriedly ran to Wang Lei and asked, "What's wrong, Dad? I'm discussing martial arts with Taoist Xiaolu."
Wang Lei glanced at her and handed the horse rope to her hand angrily.
"You drive the carriage."
"Ah, why, why?" Wang Yun, who was anxious to go back and continue to see Lin Xiaolu, said angrily: "I don't want to drive a carriage."
"You don't want to drive a carriage, but you just want to chat with a little Taoist priest of unknown origin?" Wang Lei glared at his nymphomaniac daughter and said fiercely: "Girls, can you respect yourself a little bit?"
"I don't have any respect for myself. I didn't do anything extraordinary."
Wang Yun, who has been in and out of the green forest with caravans since she was a child, is not timid like an ordinary little girl. Instead, she is extremely aggressive. She directly explained: "I am asking Taoist Xiaolu for martial arts advice."
The young man on the side couldn't help but smile to Wang Lei and said: "Dad, please don't worry about my little sister, she is in love with spring, hahahaha."
When Wang Yun heard her brother say that she was in love with spring, her face suddenly turned red and she glared at the young man with shame and anger: "What are you talking about, you annoying brother."
The young man laughed and scolded: "I guessed it, little sister, you actually fell in love with a Taoist priest, a little Taoist priest who is one or two years younger than you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are quite good at playing."
"You, you're talking nonsense." Wang Yun's face turned redder and she was speechless.
When middle-aged man Wang Lei saw his daughter's appearance, he couldn't help coughing.
"Lin Xiaolu's origin is unknown. If you two young men come into contact with him, we are only responsible for bringing him to Tang Kingdom."
Wang Yun's heart tightened after hearing this, and she quickly asked: "Dad, will we be separated from Taoist Xiaolu when we arrive in Tang Dynasty?"
Wang Lei nodded.
…
…
At noon, the caravan came to a relatively flat forest land and prepared to eat something. Lin Xiaolu jumped out of the carriage and went into the forest to hunt. He did not dare to run too far for fear of not being able to find his way back. I dared to search the surrounding area and soon caught two plump rabbits with my bare hands.
Rabbits typically have more bones and less meat, so they are definitely not enough to eat. He had to walk a little deeper into the dense forest. With good luck, he soon saw several sika deer grazing in the distance.
When the young man saw the sika deer, his eyes suddenly lit up. Without hesitation, he pulled out the flying knife on his leg and waved it casually, only to hear a "Whoosh!"
One of the fattest sika deer was killed on the spot, while the others were so frightened that they fled away immediately.
When Lin Xiaolu came back with two rabbits and a sika deer, everyone was shocked by the speed of his hunting. From the time he left to the time he came back from hunting, it took almost no time and he had not finished picking up the firewood for the bonfire. .
"Taoist Master Xiaolu, do you know Qing Gong?" someone asked in admiration.
"I know a little bit about the Mandarin Duck Steps of the Taoshan School of Sichuan."
The boy explained while handing the rabbit and deer to the cook.
"Taoist Master Xiaolu, what kind of skills do you have?" Wang Yun squatted next to him and asked.
Lin Xiaolu scratched his head and told the truth:
"I can also practice Bajiquan, Henglian Qigong, Tai Chi, Jin Yiwei's Eight Swordsmanship, and Flying Knife Technique."
"Wow~ So many~" Wang Yun stared at the young man's face, unwilling to look away for a moment, and the glare in his eyes became more and more intense. Under such bright attention, the young man felt uncomfortable all over, and he also It can be seen that this Miss Wang Yun was looking for something to say throughout the whole process, giving people the impression of being a slanderous person.
He ignored Wang Yun and watched eagerly as the caravan crew processed the ingredients. He watched them neatly clean the rabbits and sika deer, then dress them with thick willow roots and roast them on the bonfire.
The fire was burning very hot, and soon the rabbit and venison were roasted until they were sizzling and oily. Lin Xiaolu just looked at the barbecue eagerly, while Wang Yun followed him and watched eagerly.
Not long after, the two rabbits were roasted first. The sika venison was thicker and larger, so it needed to be roasted for a while. Lin Xiaolu first used the two roast rabbits to pad his belly.
With his current appetite, the two rabbits were not even half full. He quickly finished the two roasted rabbits, and then ate the fragrant roasted venison.
In the afternoon, the idle boy lay on the wooden box of the carriage and took a nap.
And in the evening, when the sky was getting late and night fell, and the caravan began to camp in place, he secretly ran to another place to practice his martial arts.
Wang Yun stood aside boredly, watching the caravan's uncle light a bonfire and prepare dinner, feeling extremely depressed.
In the afternoon, she originally wanted to go and play with Taoist Xiaolu, but her father wouldn't let her go, which made her depressed for a long time.
"Brother, you said Taoist Master Xiaolu is so powerful, wouldn't it be good for our family if I go to get in touch with him?"
She asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why is dad so opposed to me getting close to him? Taoist priest Xiaolu is obviously so good-looking."
The young man looked at his sister dumbfounded, and then looked around again. Seeing that Lin Xiaolu was not there, he lowered his voice and explained to her:
"Dad has been in the world for a long time, and he is very experienced in seeing people and things."
He chuckled and said: "If you approach a young man who is more powerful than you or our Wang family caravan, and his character is acceptable, then dad will naturally not say anything, but you are approaching someone who is much more powerful than ours." This is not possible because it can easily lead to disaster, not to mention that the origin of Taoist Master Xiaolu is unknown, and the devil knows what will happen if you get too close to him."
After finishing speaking, he continued to explain to his silly sister in a serious tone:
"Xiao Yun, at any time, as a caravan, our Wang family must know how to protect ourselves wisely, fight for small wealth, and not be greedy for big wealth. We must not be enemies with anyone, nor get too close to anyone. Only in this way can long-term wealth be achieved.”
Wang Yun pouted, but when the young man saw his sister's appearance, he knew that he didn't listen, so he could only smile bitterly.
In the camp, Wang Yun, who felt bitter in her heart, squatted for a while and saw that her father and mother were covering the goods with their backs to herself in order to prevent the humidity from returning to the tide at night. The other people in the caravan were also busy with their own business. Yes, so she rolled her eyes and sneaked into the dark forest.
