"It's not that I hate it." She looked at the mountains and forests in the distance: "How should I put it? She may have been influenced by Feng Lan. She wants to compare with me in everything. She has a strong self-esteem and cannot bow to me, let alone Maybe listen to me.”
"Is it equivalent to a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers?"
"almost."
After hearing Qizhou, it became clear.
He clasped the catkin with his fingertips and walked slowly along the main hall with her, accompanied by the faint scent of sandalwood.
When he returned to the backyard, the person opposite Mingming was Xie Changxiao, and his two disciples were sitting beside him, reading books.
Wen Yaxian and Yan Shuo entered the kitchen.
Not long after they moved into the Taoist temple, they decided to cook together with the master and apprentice, taking turns cooking every day, which made it much easier.
"Brother Qizhou." Xunsong handed the children's book to Wen Qizhou and said softly, "Xunsong wants to hear your story."
He doesn't know many words.
Every time Wen Qizhou told him a story, he would patiently teach him how to read.
When the warm and jade-like voice sounded, Chi Yue, who was sitting on the recliner, leaned back and listened lazily with Xun Song.
As she was listening, there was a sound of light footsteps coming from far away, and Chi Yunyan who came out of the wing squatted beside her.
"Sister, how much supplies do you need to live in a Taoist temple?"
"How many do you have left?"
"Seven pounds of bacon, four bags of instant noodles, a dozen pounds of flour, and five packs of cigarettes." He rested his elbows on the chair and glanced at Ming Ming at the table: "Does Mr. Ming smoke?"
"No." She suggested that Chi Yunyan give all the food to Mingzhang, and added: "Wait until you recover from your injuries before going hunting in the back mountains, and pay half of what you hunt as food expenses."
Chi Yunyan nodded: "Okay."
He went back to the wing. Chi Anying, who had been hit on the head with a stick, was still unconscious and did not show up at dinner time. She had to rest for a night and feel better before walking out of the bedroom.
Her temperament was more deserted than before.
When he saw Chi Yue, he just nodded and said hello. He couldn't say a word for a long time. He spent most of his time working, either watering the vegetable field, helping Wen Yaxian weave bamboo baskets, or making his own hunting tools. There was always little free time. With.
Chi Yue ignored her.
It's her business to do whatever she wants, and their relationship isn't exactly close, and they would be more comfortable keeping things as they are.
"Wife." Wen Qizhou, who went outside to take a shower, came back covered in water vapor: "I just heard them arguing."
"What's the noise about?"
"Chi Anying wants to return to Source City." He lifted a corner of the quilt, lay down and hugged Chi Yue's waist: "Chi Yunyan disagrees."
Life in the Taoist Temple is bound to be many times better than that in Yuancheng, which is full of uncertainties. Smart people know how to choose.
Chi Yue didn't understand her thoughts.
She pondered: "Is it because of me?"
"No." Wen Qizhou turned off the night light and stroked his long, thin hair: "They mentioned a man."
"Ex-boyfriend?"
"possible."
Chi Yue lost interest.
She yawned and moved closer to his arms, saying "Whatever she wants", closing her eyes, and quietly brewing sleepiness.
After sleeping until she woke up naturally, she realized that the light of the morning sun had not yet been reflected, so she stayed close to his neck and slept for a while.
I woke up twice in the middle of the night and it was still dark.
They noticed something was wrong. Wen Qizhou picked up the watch on the table and took a look: "Honey, it's almost eleven o'clock."
Chi Yue had a guess in her heart.
She and Wen Qizhou put on their clothes and walked out of the room, looking up at the dark sky with no golden wheel or bright moon.
Others, who were gradually awakened by their biological clock, also went out and gathered on the corridor, staring at the sky with them dumbfounded.
Wen Yaxian: "What's going on?" She rubbed her eyes twice and looked at her watch again and again. The more she looked at it, the more confused she became about the situation.
Yan Shuo: "It should be Jiye?"
He explained this natural phenomenon in detail, and the master, apprentice, siblings who came from the west wing did not miss his popular science.
After he finished the popular science, Mingming asked them to go to the main hall, light a match and light a candle, and talked about setting traps for the front and back doors of the Taoist temple: "If someone with evil intentions goes up the mountain, the trap can also buy us a certain amount of time. "
"Okay." They all had no objection.
Trouble can easily occur in the darkest night, let’s not mention what happens outside the mountain, but the current peace of the Taoist temple must not be broken by outsiders.
After the discussion, they split up.
Wen Qizhou and Xie Changxiao used trees to cover the road leading to the Taoist temple to create the illusion that it was impassable; Chi Yunyan, Yan Shuo and Yunqi set traps outside the backyard; Chi Yue and the rest of the people surrounded Beside the wall of the Taoist temple, barriers were set up with sharpened branches and only broken glass, and then a fishing line was wrapped around it and a few bells were hung.
Working until six o'clock in the afternoon, they processed the sheep that Wen Qizhou "hunted" in the mountains yesterday, carried them to the backyard, set them on the fire, brushed them with oil and prepared to eat the whole sheep.
"Chang Xiao, I remember you still have two bottles of wine?" Chi Yue, who wanted to drink two glasses, turned to look at him.
In order to avoid giving the impression that she and Wen Qizhou had many things, they usually let Xie Changxiao take cover.
Xie Changxiao understood instantly: "Yes."
"Where to put it?"
"suitcase."
She went into the side room and took out two bottles of wine, poured them into the wine glasses that Ming Ming had prepared, and then handed them to their hands one by one.
"Sister Yue, Xun Song is not there yet." Xun Song, who was empty-handed, slightly pursed his lips and glanced at Chi Yue, who had forgotten about him.
"Children can't drink."
"I'm five years old." He stretched out his little fleshy hand, opened his palm and said seriously: "Master said, I am no longer a child."
"You can't drink that either." Yunqi, who was sitting next to him, rubbed his head and asked warmly, "Shall I make milk powder for you?"
Xunsong nodded: "Okay."
Yunqi walked into the main hall, found the baby milk powder Wen Yaxian had given them before, brewed a full cup and gave it to Xunsong.
Not long after they sat down, the whole roasted lamb placed on the fire exuded a strong fragrance. The fragrance wrapped in the rising smoke and brushed the noses of everyone present.
Xie Changxiao and Yan Shuo, who were in charge of the barbecue, cut the meat with knives and put it on the plate. Chi Yunyan passed the round plate to them.
They picked up a piece of mutton that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside with their chopsticks, and tasted it carefully. Sometimes they picked up the cup and took a sip of wine.
"Wine goes perfectly with mutton!" Chi Yunyan sighed with satisfaction: "No wonder Brother Huai always talks about it to me."
Chi Yue suddenly looked up.
She swallowed the meat in her mouth, her eyes locked on Chi Yunyan, and asked eagerly: "Is the brother Huai you are talking about Ge Huai?"
Ge Huai is Ge Qinyao's biological brother.
Chi Yunyan: "Yes."
"Where are they?" A flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and she asked one after another: "Is Qinyao okay? Is she injured?"
"Qingyang City."
Qingyang City is not far from Yuancheng.
Chi Yunyan and his brother met the Ge brothers and sisters who were setting up a stall when they came to Qingyang Base for a short stay in early October.
He answered one by one: "Sister Yao is not injured, but they are not doing well, mainly because the burden on them is too heavy."
