Half an hour later, there was a hint of fireworks in the empty mountain forest.
A handful of green smoke surrounds the snow-covered poplar canopy, adding a touch of gray to the pale picture.
The birds were circling the branches, seemingly disturbed by the smell of meat below. They were chirping, jumping up and down, and shaking the broken snow on the trees, but they just refused to leave.
The gurgling stream comes from the west. The water is clear and fish and shrimps can be seen. It is as soft and agile as translucent silk.
The gentle sound of water mixed with the quarrels of birds above gave people who had experienced a life and death experience a moment of peace.
A pair of crisp and tender feet as white as bamboo shoots were exposed in the stream, splashing in the water like naughty children, boring and lazy.
The handsome girl dragged her fragrant cheeks by the stream and looked at her little feet seriously. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She was in a daze until the hair on her temples fell to her eyes, and then she lifted it up and blew a breath. Then he came back to his senses and remembered the little man lighting the fire behind him.
This girl originally liked heroes, the kind of heroes who were brave, handsome, and majestic.
But now that she saw the handsome man, the girl felt a little relieved. Even if she didn't like him, she couldn't hate him.
Of course, it's just about appearance.
In terms of character, he is willing to strangle this guy to death.
After thinking for a while, I suddenly smelled the aroma of meat. The taste was extraordinary. Just one smell made my mouth water.
But why does the grilled fish smell so delicious?
"Hey, what did you bake? Why does it smell so good?"
The little man who focused on cooking waved his hand: "Come here and eat."
Li Shuwang turned back and jumped gracefully in front of the fire, shook the water from his feet, bent down and took a deep breath of the aroma.
I saw a few simple small fish falling into the hands of this little man. After a lot of tossing, they actually turned out to be a layer of golden charred skin with oily flowers sizzling on it. I don’t know what was sprinkled on it, and the heat emanated from it. A fragrance that has never been seen before, which makes people's index fingers tickle.
"Here."
Bai Song earnestly gave Li Shuwang the best-looking grilled fish.
Li Shuwang took it and saw that the man ignored his doubts, so he just took a bite.
After taking this bite, Li Shuwang's eyes flashed with a strange light, his mouth trembled, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and started eating seriously without saying anything.
In less than half a minute, the fish was completely eaten by Miss Li. Even the fish head was chewed up and eaten, leaving only a bare spine.
Then without waiting for Bai Song to give it to her, she grabbed another one and stuck it beside the fire to eat.
"Don't worry, no one is trying to rob you..." Bai Song was a little amused when he saw the woman's eyes blazing, looking at a fish as if she were seeing a naked man. He slowly took out the powder and sprinkled it on top, "Wait for a minute before eating, it will be fragrant."
"What is this? It smells so good."
“When eating barbecue, of course cumin is indispensable!”
"cumin?"
"It's a spice specially used on barbecues."
"Where did it come from? Why have I never seen it before?"
"There are a lot of things in this world that you haven't seen before. It doesn't matter where they come from, just eat them."
As he spoke, Bai Song sprinkled some more white powder on the fish.
Li Shuwang stared, curious: "What is this?"
"Why do you have so many questions? You can't even taste the salt?"
"Salt!" Li Shuwang was shocked, "How is that possible?"
"How about you try it?"
Bai Song brought his fingers dipped in salt to Li Shuwang's mouth.
Li Shuwang stepped back subconsciously, with a rare blush on his face.
However, he saw that Bai Song's eyes were clean and had no objections. If he acted too coyly, he would lose his posture.
Li Shuwang's blush was getting thicker, but he mustered up the energy to stick out his little tongue and gently touch Bai Song's fingertips.
The fine salty taste touched the nerves, and all the shyness disappeared in an instant, leaving only disbelief.
This is the taste of salt!
But it’s the pure taste of salt!
But how can salt only taste like salt?
Li Shuwang looked at Bai Song in shock. Before she could ask, Bai Song had already started to explain: "I know you want to ask why this salt has no astringent taste? The salt you produce is called coarse salt. It has various impurities in it and of course the taste." It tastes astringent. This is fine salt, which can also be called refined salt. It has been purified and has removed impurities and odor. It is healthier for the body and more delicious."
Li Shuwang seemed to understand. He looked at the fish in his hand and then at Bai Song. His eyes became more complicated.
After a short pause, Li Shuwang opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Bai Song again.
"Don't ask me how I did it. I don't have that big ambition. I don't want to change the world. I just want to enjoy the peace around me."
Li Shuwang said nothing and started eating silently.
A total of five fish were caught, and Li Shuwang ate four of them. He seemed to be a little unfinished, but he was embarrassed to show it. He could only whisper to one side: "A grown man doesn't think about serving the country with loyalty, nor does he treat diseases and save people. Instead, he likes to study cooking." Yi, what a freak.”
"Little girl, you know nothing. Have you ever heard of the saying that men who can cook are the most handsome?"
"Who said that? I've never heard of it! I've only heard of Junziyuan Chef!"
"I said it! What's wrong? You just ate my food and you turned your back on me?"
"Hmph!" Li Shuwang pouted, showing a little woman's attitude, which is quite cute, "You...why are you staring at me? Am I wrong?"
Bai Song opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end it turned into a weak sigh: "Hey! Forget it, why should I tell you this? No matter how much I say, you won't understand!"
As he spoke, the loneliness and loneliness in Bai Song's heart surged into his heart, and his handsome face took on a look of loneliness and sadness.
It was so fresh in Li Shuwang's eyes.
Has she ever seen a man show such an expression? It's like the faint sadness that the purdah lady often wears on her face.
Li Shuwang felt more and more that this man missed women, or that there was a girl living in his heart. He never thought that men could be sentimental.
I originally thought that I would not have any affection for such a man, but suddenly I saw a hint of sadness on the other man's face, and my heart tightened inexplicably, and I actually felt a little bit of heartache.
"You...what's wrong with you? I...I was just joking. Actually...the fish you grilled is really delicious. I like it very much."
Bai Song waved his hand: "Who cares about whether the fish is delicious or not? Forget it, I am destined to have no close friends when I come to this world."
Li Shuwang didn't understand Bai Song's state at the moment, but he vaguely felt that he had touched someone else's wound. He had a trace of apology in his heart. He didn't know how to speak, let alone how to answer. He simply ran away and looked at the direction of the smoke from the fire. He added in a flattering tone:
"I wonder when the patrol will see it?"
After asking lightly, Li Shuwang retreated to the stream again, shook his feet, put on his shoes, and muttered that the little man was so stingy.
In this fresh and refreshing atmosphere, a strange feeling suddenly came to my heart.
Li Shuwang turned his head and looked into the stream, and saw a bright red color suddenly appeared in the clear stream!
A bloody smell floated over from upstream.
Alone...no! It was a corpse floating down the stream.
Li Shuwang was nervous for a moment and shouted: "No, there is a corpse!"
Bai Song's nerves were immediately tightened, and he rushed to the stream, his scalp numb: "Quick, pull up and take a look!"
Li Shuwang frowned. As the body got closer, she had confirmed that the body was wearing a soldier from the patrol.
"People from the patrol team, why did the people from the patrol team die here?"
Li Shuwang said nervously, and together with Bai Song, he dragged the person to the shore to observe.
The blood was fresh and the body had not turned white. It should have been dead for no more than an hour.
Looking at the wound again, there were obvious marks on the throat that had been bitten by a wild beast.
The two exchanged glances, and their hearts skipped a beat.
These are the marks of wolf bites!
Could it be those Turks...
Thinking of this, Bai Song's back felt cold. Looking at the stream upstream, more and more blood red slowly flowed down.
This shows that more than one person died in the upper class.
Bai Song realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately turned around, kicked off the fire, covered it with sand, and then said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, don't wait for the patrol, our smoke may not attract the patrol, but it will Turks."
As soon as Bai Song finished speaking, a familiar wolf howl suddenly came from somewhere in the upper reaches.
Immediately afterwards, as if the wolves in the entire mountain forest were summoned, countless wolf howls resounded throughout the world, surrounding Bai and Song.
The horses by the stream also felt threatened and neighed uneasily.
"Xiao Hei, calm down! Calm down!"
Li Shuwang quickly pulled the reins, patted the horse's cheek and whispered comfort.
"Get on the horse!" Li Shuwang greeted immediately, knowing that this was not the time to hesitate.
Bai Song didn't say much, and hugged Liu's waist tightly after getting on the horse, but now he didn't have any unnecessary thoughts, and just watched the surroundings vigilantly.
"Drive! Drive!"
Li Shuwang tried his best to control the horse galloping in the forest.
There were countless noises from all sides, and the wolves were getting closer.
"How is it possible? How could those Turks catch up?" Li Shuwang squeezed out a question through his teeth.
"Don't think so much, it's useless to think about it now."
Whoosh!
There was a sound of piercing the sky on the left, and an arrow quickly blocked the horse's path!
"Xiao Hei!"
Li Shuwang exclaimed and jerked the reins.
Xiao Hei let out a long roar, raised his front hooves, and the horse jumped almost upright. An arrow passed in the direction of the horse's front hooves, but fortunately it missed.
But when the horse's hoof fell, Xiao Hei seemed to be unable to withstand such great force. He knelt on the ground with his front hoof and let out a scream.
But this horse is one of the best horses in a million. It has followed Li Shuwang since he was a child, and his willpower is amazing. He stood up again and continued to run forward.
"Well done Xiao Hei!"
Li Shuwang was filled with surprises, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he did not forget to pat the horse.
Behind him, Bai Song exclaimed: "It's that female Turk!"
Li Shuwang looked to the left and saw a woman crawling on the body of an exaggerated wolf king in the forest and chasing after her!
The speed of this wolf king was no slower than that of a sweaty horse. It was more agile than a horse in walking through the forest. The opponent was approaching the two of them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
