Bai Zhe didn't put much effort into cooking. After all, there were Barbara and Rosevia who liked to study cooking. In Liyue Port, famous chefs were also poached from restaurants. There was no need for him to work there. Invest time in this.
At this moment, Paimon quickly ate all the stew and handed over the empty bowl in his hand. Ying also showed a helpless smile and added another large bowl. She was afraid that Paimon's appetite would not be enough. Jia also stuffed some lemon leaves into the stew to make it appetizing.
Rao does tend to get sleepy after eating a full meal, but Paimon, who had obviously slept all the way, was lying lazily on the soft grass in the sunshine and fell asleep again. Ying, who saw this scene, was not surprised and washed the dishes, while Bai Zhe went to check on the horse and led it to the stream to let it drink water and rest.
Ying, who was washing pots and pans, chatted: "Mr. Bai Zhe, what exactly do you want to do? Although everyone usually speculates a lot about the World Snake, what is the purpose of sparing you as the master of the World Snake? Endless Mora, a coveted status, and beautiful girls, you already have them all."
Bai Zhe, who was combing the horse's hair, smiled lightly, looked back with his black and red eyes and said, "What do you want? Most people don't know what they want, they only know what they need at the moment. Maybe time will bring The answer is uncertain.”
It's really an ambiguous answer, but Ying nodded thoughtfully and seemed to agree with Bai Zhe's method.
…
Riding a galloping horse, Bai Zhe rides a peerless horse worth thousands of gold, which is what everyone calls a thousand-mile horse.
Although Ying sitting in front cannot ride a horse, as a traveler who has traveled to various countries, he has seen more than a thousand horses. Naturally, he feels that the horse under his crotch is nothing extraordinary, and he can't help but sigh in his heart. It is true that Bai Zhe is rich. You can do whatever you want.
Night came quickly, but Ying clearly had the Chensong pot but didn't use it, which made Bai Zhe suspicious.
Ying was holding Paimon and seemed to be whispering something. She didn't seem to want Bai Zhe to know the specific situation.
"Ying, we can obviously go back to the Chenge Pot to rest at night? Why do we still have to set up a tent here?"
Faced with Paimeng's doubts, Yingye covered her face and asked, "Paimon, if I go back to Dust Song Pot, should I take Bai Zhe with me?"
Paimon nodded. After all, he worked hard to take us on the road together. It seems natural to find a place for him to rest and sleep at night, but he seemed to have thought of Ying's approach that he understood instantly.
It is true that they have an empty island in Chengehu, but there is no decent building on it, it is just a larger tent, and it has not been cleaned up much, mainly because there is no time to clean up, and Bai Zhe cannot be seen. The messy side.
Paimon shook his head with a look of disbelief, crossed his arms and agreed: "Indeed, and we can't leave Bai Zhe alone... Well, we'd better set up a tent here."
Two green tents were set up in the open space. After all, men and women are different and their relationship is not good enough to live together, right?
The campfire dinner is a simple barbecue, with vegetables and meat pieces put on wooden skewers and simply sprinkled with some seasonings. Bai Zhe was not good at appearing clumsy, so Ying took the initiative to snatch the skewers away from him.
I saw a look of helplessness on Ying's face, as if she said, "Don't waste it, the price of meat is so expensive now, I'll give you all this stuff."
Paimon on the side is very self-aware, holding a wooden stick in his hand to ensure that the campfire is burning enough. It seems that their cooperation has become a tacit understanding and a clear division of labor. It seems that they have lived like this in the past. This is just The so-called travel companion?
The taste of the barbecue was passable. As a seated rider, I have no right to complain. Compared with the stew at noon, the barbecue at night was obviously inferior. But it is true that Bai Zhe hasn't eaten barbecue for a long time. The novelty of meeting again after a long absence makes him eat it with gusto, and the feeling of sizzling oil is quite satisfying.
After eating and drinking, several people gathered around the campfire and started chatting again.
Ying held the tea cup in both hands and asked Bai Zhe: "Will we take turns to keep vigil tonight? Although Bai is indeed not harassed by monsters, even wild beasts are very dangerous at night."
It is true that monsters and beasts become bolder at night. Even if the road from Qingquan Town to Xingluo Town is very safe, it is not necessarily so at night.
Bai Zhe did not deny this. Riding a white horse would consume a lot of his energy. If conditions allowed, he would not want to keep vigil, but he could not count on Paimon.
Bai Zhe waved his hand and said, "No problem, you and Paimon go to bed first. I won't call you when I can't hold it anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ying couldn't help but yawned, and some tears hung in the corners of her eyes, as if she was too sleepy to hold on. In the past, I basically either walked or took a ride in a caravan. I still felt a little tired after sitting on a horse for a long journey.
Ying stretched out her hand, rubbed her eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll go and rest first. Paimon should also pay attention to the time."
Later, I saw her getting into the tent, and I could hear a thumping sound inside the tent. It was obvious that she lay down directly to sleep. She seemed not to be wary of herself. Wasn't she afraid that she was a bad person? Although they have known each other for a long time, they honestly don't know each other's personalities. Unexpectedly, she still trusts him quite a lot. Is it because Paimon is watching? No matter from which aspect you look at it, Ying is really a bit crazy. Should we evaluate her as slow-witted or naive?
Paimon didn't seem to be sleepy now because he had slept a long time. He sat by the campfire and looked up at the stars falling in the sky. The stars were shining all over the sand and were as beautiful as an unfolding picture scroll.
"I've really caused you trouble today. If I hadn't slept in...hehe."
Paimon's words seemed to contain some self-blame, as if he was sorry for procrastinating in the morning. But this is nothing to Bai Zhe, it's just a matter of convenience. He won't mind if this kind of favor comes a few times.
However, no harassment from monsters or beasts was seen until the rotation of the vigil. It can be seen that this road is indeed much safer than other wild roads in Mondstadt. It seems that World Snake's investment in Mora has been effectively returned.
To get rich, you must first build roads. Roads are generally beneficial to the people and self-interest. In Starfall Town, the reputation of the World Snake is much more effective than that of the Knights of the West Wind.
