Half an hour later, Daolin and the others had roasted pheasant, stir-fried wild vegetables and snake soup.
Long Xiaonian fully affirmed Daolin's cooking skills and directly rated him as the most powerful cook.
Daolin sneered at Long Xiaonian's evaluation. Does his level need to be evaluated by others? Isn't that a well-known thing?
There is another thing I have to mention, that is, the tiger is really loyal. In order to show its own value, it directly brought three pheasants, two hares and a wild boar. It brought them here three times and put them down each time. After the food, everyone looked grateful.
"How did you learn to cook? And make it so delicious?" Long Xiaonian asked, touching his bulging belly.
"My family has been a cook for generations. My grandfather once cooked for big shots. My master is a good fortune and is also a cook, so naturally I am also a cook." Daolin said with a smile. What he said was the truth, and of course he gave up on the matter of improving his cultivation through cooking.
Of course, that was in the past. Now he can not only improve his cultivation through cooking, but also through normal practice.
"It's such a blessing to be friends with you. At least my stomach will be satisfied." Long Xiaonian said with a smile.
"Haha, that's for sure!" Dorian said and laughed himself.
Smiling, Dorian's smile suddenly froze.
Long Xiaonian glanced at him and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? You always get stunned suddenly. Is there something wrong with you? Do you want to take you to see a doctor?"
"You're the one with the problem. I suddenly thought of a question. Since the tiger is so smart and knows how to trade food for his life, will he know the way out of the forest?" Daolin turned around and asked Long Xiaonian.
Long Xiaonian's expression suddenly froze. Yes, they had completely ignored this matter before.
"Is it too late to chase it back now?" Long Xiaonian asked, looking in the direction where the tiger disappeared.
"It takes too long to cook and eat. With its speed, I'm afraid it will disappear a long time ago. Next time something like this happens, we both remember to let them lead us." Dolin said and looked at the one he bought. That horse.
At this time, the horse was grazing with its head down. It noticed Dorian's eyes and raised its head to look at him.
"What are you looking at? You are a horse and you don't know the way. Isn't it a shame to go out? I'll eat you next time if you can't get out before there's no food." Dolin threatened in a pretended to be vicious.
The horse trembled when he heard it, and quickly lowered his head and continued to eat grass. Dorian could tell from his trembling hind legs that the horse understood what he was saying.
After eating and drinking, they went on the road again. It was only noon, but it was a little dim in the Huahe River forest that blocked the sky and the sun.
"Xiao Nian..." Daolin suddenly shouted while walking.
"What's wrong?" Long Xiaonian turned to look at Daolin.
"I was trapped in the forest some time ago, and I used to walk on the top of the trees. I think your movement skills are good, why don't you walk up there to show the way?" Dolin pointed to the top and said.
Long Xiaonian looked at the top of the tree, then looked at Daolin and said, "This tree is dozens of meters high. Can I give you directions by shouting from above?"
"Besides, why didn't you go up?"
"It's not impossible for me to go up, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up. If we get lost again, you'll starve to death."
"So, either you lead the way and I'll follow on horseback, or we two road idiots will die trapped here and become savages. Then think about it..." Dolin said nothing further.
Long Xiaonian shook his head in fear. Without Daolin's urging, he jumped up on the tree, tapped his feet a few times, and disappeared above the canopy.
"Look which way is south!" Dorian shouted upwards.
"Turn left!" Long Xiaonian's voice came from above the tree crown.
Daolin quickly led the horse to the left. As Long Xiaonian continued to guide him, the rest of the journey became much faster.
In this way, Long Xiaonian guided the way on the tree crown during the day, and the two slept in a tent under the tree at night. Three days later, they returned to the main road.
Three more days later, they finally reached the southern part of Huahechuan Forest. The moment they walked out of the forest, the two of them shouted to the sky. After half a month, they finally walked out of this damn forest.
"Xiaonian, where are you going next?" Daolin has never asked Long Xiaonian about her destination. He took her with him because he wanted to chase Ouyang and the others.
"I have nowhere to go. I have been alone since my grandfather died. Where are you going?" Long Xiaonian said with a lonely and bitter smile.
"I'm going to Shangzhou County to open a restaurant there. Do you want to come with me?" Daolin touched Long Xiaonian's head and said.
"Open a restaurant? Then can I eat and drink?" When Long Xiaonian heard that he was going to open a restaurant, his originally lonely expression suddenly brightened with joy.
"Okay, but you have to be obedient and you can't do the same job as before." Daolin nodded and said. What he said was that when he met Long Xiaonian, she was a thief.
"Don't worry, I just took back my own things before. This is not stealing! You also ate my fruit!" Long Xiaonian said seriously, and raised his fist as if to hit.
"Okay, okay, I understand, we call it getting your things back!" Dolin quickly changed his tone.
Seeing that Daolin was so aware of current affairs, Long Xiaonian suddenly laughed.
"Xiao Nian, you are a road crazy, so how do you know the way?" Dolin suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile.
"Do you know the way? What way do you know?" Long Xiaonian asked in confusion.
"That is, how did you find Rey County? And how did you accurately find the three missing treasures from your family?" Dolin asked.
"Because I have memorized the distribution of all the counties and cities in the Lieyang Empire. Although I don't know the way, I can ask questions. As long as I find one county, I can deduce other counties." Long Xiaonian said with a smile.
"Have you memorized all the counties and cities in the Lieyang Empire? Aren't you from the Lieyang Empire?" Daolin accurately caught the loophole in Long Xiaonian's words.
Long Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are still really smart. I am indeed not from the Lieyang Empire. Don't ask. If I can't say anything, I will tell you when I have the opportunity."
Daolin nodded. Since Long Xiaonian didn't want to tell, he naturally wouldn't ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Since it's a secret, you can't tell others casually.
"Then which county should we continue walking south?" Dolin asked. He had only known that past the canyon was the forest, and beyond the forest was a mountain range, but he didn't know what other counties and cities were in between. He didn't even have a map.
"Further ahead is Dragon City, the largest county in the eastern part of the Lieyang Empire!"
