"Okay, confirmed."
Zhou Li pulled the reins and the brown horse stopped. He looked at the ivy clusters spreading along the river bank and the slowly flowing river water with a strange luster, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the vine demon."
"Um."
Cen Shu nodded. She couldn't ride a horse and had been riding a brown horse with Zhou Li. She followed Zhou Li's line of sight, and the vines beside the river bank that shouldn't exist proved everything. She narrowed her eyes and said softly:
"It has a very strong monster aura, and it has no intention of hiding itself at all."
"It's a bit...serious."
Yun Baibai frowned slightly, and she pulled the horse a little awkwardly. The relatively docile draft horse reluctantly stayed in place, shaking its head from time to time.
Zhou Li dismounted and tied the horse to a tree nearby. He turned around and looked at the river bank covered with thorns and vines with nowhere to go, and said with a headache: "So, is this really here?"
"I'm just kidding you."
The black cat swung its tail, glanced at Zhou Li and said, "The red thread is very similar to the thread on your body. If it weren't for Liu Gong, I can't think of another person who could be involved with you and be captured by the monster at the same time. "
"Qianhu?"
Zhou Li was silent for Black Cat's question.
"Isn't he just a monster?"
Black Cat said with a complicated expression.
"Have you ever seen a monster helping an old lady cross the official road?"
Zhou Li's expression became even weirder.
"I can, isn't this what I should do?"
Cen Shu, who was concentrating on studying the vines, replied subconsciously. Then she stood up expressionlessly, bowed vigorously, and said sincerely:
"Sorry, please forget what I just said. I was just kidding. I am actually a murderous devil who does all kinds of evil. I'm sorry."
The two of them were silent.
"it does not matter."
The gentle Yun Baibai quickly comforted him: "Master Cen, it's a good thing to be kind-hearted. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
Cen Shu remained silent and looked at Zhou Li. Then she pointed at him with a broken expression and looked at Yun Baibai without saying a word.
Yun Baibai looked at Zhou Li's "Oh oh oh oh little kind monster has appeared, let me see what's going on" expression, and fell silent.
Shameful indeed.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble."
Zhou Li retracted his expression and pretended that nothing happened. Then he looked at the ivy field and said with a headache: "So, how do we find Liu Gong? In other words, how do we deal with this vine demon?"
"set fire?"
Black Cat yawned and took the lead in making an unreasonable suggestion.
"You really look forward to Liu Gong's death."
Zhou Li said speechlessly: "This vine is definitely not the original body. If burned, it will alert the vine demon. Although I don't know why Liu Gong was caught by the vine demon, but if it is because the vine demon is very strong, Liu Gong cannot defeat it." , it’s better for me to play the suona than to set the fire. Anyway, we are sending Liu Gong away, and there is something artistic about playing the suona.”
"Can you still play the suona?"
Black Cat was a little surprised.
"Help the old pedant quit drinking."
After Zhou Li finished speaking, not only Black Cat didn't understand, but others didn't understand either.
Cen Shu thought for a moment and couldn't figure out the reason, so she asked, "Is there any connection between the two?"
"ah."
Zhou Li thought for a while and said:
"The old scholar had a liver problem for a while, and he was dying every day and refused to give up drinking. After I learned about this, I went to learn suona and told the old scholar that I would perform a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix at his funeral and give him a performance in person. He played a tune. And then the next day he made the decision to stop drinking."
"You're quitting now?"
Cen Shu couldn't believe it.
"No, he quit for one day and started drinking secretly the next day."
Zhou Li shook his head, with a strange smile, "I later wrote a letter to my wife. She came back from Sichuan overnight and beat the old scholar. Since then, he has stopped drinking, and I have learned a lot. Everyone is happy with the craftsmanship.”
"Oh, Sichuan and Shu."
Cen Shu suddenly realized, "That's not surprising."
"well?"
Although they were both from the south, Yun Baibai, a soft girl from the south of the Yangtze River, didn't understand why Cen Shu's frown relaxed when she heard the word "Sichuan and Shu", and everything seemed logical.
"Okay, this is the end of the nonsense."
Zhou Li looked at the vines and said, "I thought of a good idea, which should be able to solve Liu Gong's matter."
"So what are you going to do, Mr. Zhou?"
Cen Shu actually already had a solution, but she wanted to see how Zhou Li would solve the current difficulties.
"at this point···"
Zhou Li waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:
"Let's eat first."
"ah?"
Is it reasonable?
It's unreasonable, and the first thing I think about when I can't wait to eat is eating.
Is it really unreasonable?
It makes sense, because the person who did this was Zhou Li.
The frowns suddenly relaxed, and relieved smiles filled everyone's faces.
Taking out the pots and pans that had been prepared, Zhou Li immediately lit a fire and started the stove. With the help of Yun Baibai, a simple stove quickly appeared in front of several people. Rice, noodles, grains and oil had already been placed in a small space in the Taoist priest's room, and Zhou Li picked it up casually, and it was the classic stir-fried rabbit meat with cabbage.
In just a few minutes, Zhou Li had already washed, cut, and stir-fried vegetables in one go. The perfection of his movements was pleasing to the eye. Put down the wooden spatula and start frying. Soon, the aroma of oil spreads around the entire river bank.
"this!"
Yun Baibai held the wooden bowl in disbelief and looked at Zhou Li, his voice full of surprise.
"Ah."
With a sneer, Zhou Li put down his bowls and chopsticks and asked enigmatically: "How?"
"Awesome!"
Thumbs up, Yun Baibai said from the bottom of his heart: "The rabbit meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and the spiciness is just right. The fragrance of the cabbage also covers the fishy smell of the rabbit meat itself and activates the aroma of the oil. . When combined with each other, they complement each other and are perfect.”
The smile on Zhou Li's face became more and more rampant.
Cen Shu on the side was speechless. Compared to Yun Baibai, who also had good cooking skills and could resonate with Zhou Li, Cen Shu could only say that it was indeed delicious, and it was ridiculously delicious. Xu Xuan, on the other hand, had already transformed into a human form. In order to taste the delicious food with a more sensitive tongue, she even gave up Zhou Li as a mount and walked on the ground by herself.
This kind of determination is no less than Tang Wan's sudden determination to study Tang poetry well.
In this way, the two people, one cat and one demon began to taste the delicious food. Yun Baibai also brought out the specialties from their hometown, and the few of them had a great time together and had a great time eating.
That's not right.
This isn't right.
Liu Gong sat numbly on the wooden chair, looking at the vine demon who was studying the body in front of him, the blood clots in his brain had begun to boil.
Aren't you here to save me?
How did Journey to the West become the Little Master of China?
Liu Gong felt that his toothache was getting worse. (End of chapter)
