Xiao Qi liked the cooking skills of Sister Jinghong very much. She was very supportive of every dish she cooked and kept praising her. However, Peacock looked listless, holding his chin with one hand and weakly stirring with chopsticks with the other. holding the food in the bowl.
Kuang Jinghong noticed something was wrong and said worriedly: "Peacock, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the food I cooked doesn't suit your taste?"
Peacock shook her head. She had just gone to Lorna's Fountain to see White Dragon Burial not long ago, and told White Dragon Burial about Shu Jue going to the Demon Emperor's Cave to defect to the Demon Emperor. Bai Long Burial blamed her for not letting Shu Jue go. For the Demon Emperor, Shujue was simple by nature and naive in her thoughts. She was not trusted by the Demon Emperor and was afraid that she would be in danger.
Peacock felt aggrieved. Shujue was not a demon after all. As a demon, since she wanted to defect to the Demon King, she had no way to stop her. She never expected that Bailong Burial would blame her for this.
Peacock felt that she was a little wronged in this matter, but she couldn't be angry with Bai Long Zan. Looking at Bai Long Zan with only one head left, how could she bear to argue with a head.
I had no choice but to promise that I would go to the Demon Emperor's Cave to inquire about Shu Jue's news when I had the opportunity to see how she was doing there. If the Demon Emperor treated her well, then let her stay there. If she was in danger there, take her with me. She left, and Bailong Zhan finally calmed down.
When Peacock saw Kuang Jinghong asking, he smiled and said: "Of course not, the food you cook is very delicious, Jinghong. It's just that there are cooks here, so you don't need to cook for us specially. I think it's a bit Sorry."
Mo Xing's cheeks bulged from eating. He held up his chopsticks and said with a mouth full of oil: "I think the food cooked by the chef is far less delicious than Sister Jinghong's! Peacock, try it quickly, um - especially this squirrel The fish is fried to golden brown and crispy, tender and fragrant in the mouth, sweet and sour, especially delicious!”
Peacock smiled and said: "Looking at the appearance, it looks very good! Let me try it!"
After saying that, she took a piece and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. It was as delicious as Mo Xing said. She praised: "It's really delicious! Jinghong, your craftsmanship is really amazing!"
Kuang Jinghong smiled as he watched the peacock pick up another piece of squirrel fish.
When Peacock was a child, he lived with them in the desert. It is difficult to eat fish in the desert. Perhaps because it is difficult to eat, Peacock has a deep obsession with squirrel fish.
Every time she celebrates her birthday, Kuang Jinghong will try his best to buy her fish, and the fish must be made into squirrel fish every time.
Although Peacock didn't think about everything in the past for the time being, fortunately, her taste had not changed. She wanted to make her all the things Peacock liked to eat when she was a child.
Peacock saw Kuang Jinghong's hand picking up vegetables, and saw a few burns from sparks on it, so he said in surprise: "Jinghong, your hand is injured!"
Kuang Jinghong lowered his head and looked at the burns on the back of his hands, and smiled nonchalantly: "It's a trivial matter. Which cook won't get burnt on the back of his hands? My cooking skills have been a bit rusty in recent years, so I got splashed by oil stains. There is no big deal." It’s in the way!”
Peacock said: "Of course it won't work. If you get burned, you have to apply medicine, otherwise it will leave scars!"
As Peacock spoke, he took out a box of burn ointment from the purse at his waist, took Kuang Jinghong's hand, and began to carefully apply the burn on her.
Kuang Jinghong couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his daughter caring about him so much, with a loving smile on his face. Her little peacock was now a tall and graceful girl in the blink of an eye!
Mo Xing and Xiao Qi on the side winked and while Peacock was applying ointment to Kuang Jinghong, their chopsticks started flying around. After a while, there was not much left on the plate of golden squirrel fish.
The peacock shouted anxiously: "Hey! You two heartless little guys, don't eat them all. I have to keep that squirrel fish!"
The two little troublemakers were digging into the food, giggling inarticulately.
Peacock shook his head helplessly and continued to apply medicine to Kuang Jinghong.
Kuang Jinghong said: "It doesn't matter, next time I will make an extra one, just for you!"
"Really, Jinghong, you are so kind to me!" Peacock smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her wrist. A red rope was exposed under her sleeve, with several turquoise and red agate strung on the red rope. The style is primitive and clumsy.
She only felt that this bracelet looked familiar, and she stared at it without blinking.
Kuang Jinghong looked at the peacock, and then at the bracelet. His heart could not help but beat wildly. He wondered if the peacock could remember anything. This bracelet was knitted by the little peacock and given to her.
Peacock said: "Jinghong...this bracelet of yours...it feels so familiar to me, as if I've seen it before somewhere!"
Kuang Jinghong looked at the peacock and said, "Really? My sister knitted this bracelet and gave it to me when she was a child. I promised her that she would wear it on her wrist for the rest of her life."
Kuang Jinghong looked at the peacock with expectant eyes. The peacock looked up at Kuang Jinghong, his eyes moist and shining. She felt that she suddenly had a splitting headache. She reached out and patted her head, frowned and groaned.
"Tsk——"
Kuang Jinghong said worriedly: "Peacock, what's wrong with you?"
Peacock said: "I don't know why, but I feel a headache when I think of things from my childhood!"
"Are you okay? Do you want to call Yao Lao for you?"
"No need, this is a long-standing illness. Just drink some wine to suppress it and it will be fine!" After Peacock finished speaking, he picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine, then raised his head and drank it.
Kuang Jinghong looked at Peacock's painful look and blamed herself for being too impatient. She quickly held Peacock's hand that was about to pour wine and said: "Why are you so silly? Of course you need to take medicine when you are sick. What's the use of drinking?" "
Peacock pushed away her hand that stopped him, poured another glass and drank it, feeling a little relieved. He grinned and said, "It's okay, Jinghong. I've always had this problem. Whenever I think about what happened when I was a child, I'll feel... I have a headache, but it can be relieved by drinking wine. Now you know why I drink so much, even the Sixth Heavenly Demon Hall Master and his gang are no match for me, hahaha!"
Although Peacock said it with a smile, Kuang Jinghong only felt sad. It could be seen that Peacock was still eager to remember her childhood, so she always had headaches and had to drink to suppress them. As a mother, she was so distressed that she could not express it.
Peacock drank another glass and sighed: "Sometimes I think that when I get drunk, I might be able to remember some things from my childhood. It's a pity that my ability to drink is too good and I can't get drunk easily. Even when I'm drunk, I can never get drunk easily. I never thought about what happened when I was a child..."
Seeing Peacock's disappointed look, Kuang Jinghong comforted him softly: "It's okay. I'll remember it one day, so there's no need to be so anxious."
Peacock's eyes were a little moist, and he looked at her and said, "Actually, my parents are probably dead. Even if I try my best to think of what happened when I was a child, it won't help... But I always have wishful thinking and pray to God to let them live. One day we can get together again!" Kuang Jinghong sighed in his heart, Peacock, I am actually back.
She suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, nodded and smiled: "You will definitely see them again, definitely!"
Peacock smiled, held back his tears, and then continued to pick up vegetables and eat.
After living alone for so many years, the strong Peacock is no longer a weak child, she can even protect others.
Xiaoqi carefully removed the bones from the squirrel fish in her bowl, and then silently put it into the peacock's bowl. The peacock chuckled and said, "You have some conscience, little girl!"
A happy smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face. Mo Xing looked at the squirrel fish meat in his bowl with embarrassment, and then at the neat fish bone left on the plate. Then he blushed and said embarrassedly. He coughed a few times.
He said loudly: "What's this? It's just a fish. Next time I go to the river in the back mountain to catch a few for you. I'm sure they will be bigger than this one! Haha! Let's... let's not get hurt just because of a fish. Be nice, right peacock!"
Peacock tapped the little devil on the head with chopsticks, wondering why this little devil became more and more cute.
Kuang Jinghong said: "By the way Peacock, I heard that the Killing Moon Alliance is coming to attack your Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Peacock said: "The Killing Moon Alliance and our Heavenly Demon Sect have been fighting back and forth these days. Anyway, this war has never stopped for a day..."
Kuang Jinghong was worried about Peacock's safety and asked: "Now that there is a war, will the Demon Lord send you out again?"
Mo Xing made a fist with his small hands, supported his chubby chin and said: "Of course, whenever there is a fight, our Heavenly Demon General, the Sixth Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon, and the Heavenly Wolf Demon Army will all fight!"
Kuang Jinghong said: "Mo Xing, aren't you afraid of fighting?"
Mo Xing said: "What's the point of fighting? Isn't it just about killing a few people!"
Seeing Mo Xing looking innocent but saying the most insensitive words, Kuang Jinghong felt a sting in his heart. Demons are demons, and their hearts are always full of killing. Such trivial matters regarding human life are like child's play in their eyes.
It really depends on the environment. If Demon Star did not grow up in this kind of fighting and killing environment, but grew up in a compassionate place like Peacock City, he must be a good boy who is compassionate to the world.
Kuang Jinghong asked Peacock tentatively: "Do you think the same as Mo Xing?"
Peacock was puzzled and turned around and asked, "What?"
Kuang Jinghong said slowly: "It's about killing people!"
Peacock said: "I don't want to go around killing people, but sometimes I have to. Since I am a demon general, I should serve the demon king. I will kill whoever the demon king asks me to kill."
Kuang Jinghong said anxiously: "You go and kill whoever the Demon Lord wants to kill. But what do you think in your own heart? Do you have right and wrong, good and evil in your heart? If that person is your relative... you will do the same. Did you kill her because of the Moon Worshiping Demon Lord’s order?”
Seeing that Kuang Jinghong was a little excited, Peacock thought she was a little strange and thought she was afraid of fighting, so he comforted her: "It's okay. If there is a fight, you will be fine. We will protect you!"
Kuang Jinghong's heart was full of melancholy, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Her original intention was to get close to Peacock as an excuse, get along with her for a while, and then build a good relationship with her, and then talk to her about leaving Tianmo Sect.
