Meng Haowu skillfully cleaned the fish he caught, took out a dagger from his body and began to scrape the fish's belly, cleaning it thoroughly.
His eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and every cut is precise, as if he is having a silent dialogue with nature.
The fish tumbled on the fire, and the fat dripped on the coals, making a "sizzling" sound and spreading an alluring aroma.
Meng Haowu fixed the fish on a wooden stick with a string and carefully turned it over so that the fish could be heated evenly. The firelight danced on his face, reflecting his concentration and enthusiasm.
Finally, the fish is grilled.
Meng Haowu tested the temperature with his fingertips and frowned slightly. This was an excellent degree of doneness. The fish skin was golden and crispy, while the fish meat remained tender. He nodded with satisfaction, then took out a small bottle of seasoning from his bag and sprinkled it lightly on the fish. On the body, instantly, the aroma of fish is more charming, full of mouth-watering taste.
Meng Haowu handed the grilled fish to Mi Yue.
Mi Yue looked at the golden fish, her eyes flashing with excitement and gratitude.
"You are so awesome, but why do you still carry the seasoning with you?"
Miyue asked curiously while taking a bite of the fish.
The small white bottle in General Meng Hao's hand waved in front of her, "Is this what you're talking about? It's not like when you go out, you think you might use it on the road. No, you just use it when you see it." "
"It's really awesome. Come on, you can eat too."
Mi Yue gave a thumbs up and then handed over the fish in her hand.
"No, you eat first, and then I'll catch one."
While eating, Miyue squatted by the river and watched him catch fish.
Next to the sun-dappled river, Meng Haowu's figure looked particularly strong. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon's, staring closely at the river, as if looking for any possible prey.
His hands, like a flexible comb, moved gently and silently in the water.
Suddenly, his hand plunged into the water with a swift and decisive movement, like a bolt of lightning that cut through the silence.
In his hand, he held a small silver fish tightly.
The small fish struggled and twisted between his fingers, as if seeking the possibility of survival. However, Meng Haowu's fingers ruthlessly squeezed it tightly, and then raised it high, showing off his prey to Mi Yue.
Mi Yue sat on the bluestone by the river, looking at Meng Haowu intently.
There was envy, appreciation, and an indescribable joy in her eyes. She looked at the small fish in Meng Haowu's hand and the proud smile on his face, and felt warm in her heart.
Meng Haowu walked towards Miyue, the small fish in his hand shining faintly in the sun.
He squatted by the river and continued to process the fish he had just caught. After processing the fish as quickly as possible, he set it up and started grilling it.
"Let's get on our way after eating."
Mi Yue looked at Meng Haowu who was concentrating on grilling fish and said that she was still thinking about her young lady. She always felt that Luo Jinyu would call them over in such a hurry, something must have happened.
All kinds of conjectures filled my heart.
"Don't be so anxious. I don't think you're really that anxious. Nothing will happen."
"How do you know? If it weren't for something happening, why would the general be so anxious to call us over?"
Meng Haowu laughed heartily, "Don't worry, if something happens, it won't be waiting for the two of us. Don't you think about it, why are you waiting for you to go to the distant water to save the nearby fire?"
Mi Yue seemed to be enlightened after hearing his words.
"Then what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, let's take a good rest after eating, and then leave at dawn. It's very dangerous to travel at night."
"That's it, okay then, I believe you are the one."
It was rare for Meng Haowu to see her so obedient and he couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing? Or are you laughing at me again?"
"How could that be? How could I laugh at you?"
Mi Yue glared at him fiercely, "It's just you, what's impossible? Think about how you laughed at me in the first place."
"I'm telling you, madam, do you still have a conscience? Think about the past with me. Then think about it for yourself, how you pushed me to the ground and beat me, and how you framed me."
When Mi Yue heard that Meng Haowu's old story was brought up again, her face instantly darkened. There was a faint flicker of fire in her eyes that were originally as calm as water.
She pressed her temples, and the blood vessels there pulsed slightly, showing the strong emotional fluctuations inside her.
Her body stiffened imperceptibly, and her breathing slowed down slightly.
It was a deep, hidden, almost out-of-control anger.
"Can you please stop mentioning those old things?"
Miyue's tone was cold, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
Her voice was obviously suppressed and restrained, but she still couldn't hide the anger in it.
"Meng Haowu, I'm warning you, if you do this again, I promise, you will pay the price."
Seeing that she seemed really angry, Meng Haowu hurriedly put down the grilled fish in his hand and immediately stepped forward to coax: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Please don't get angry again, okay."
"Do you really know you were wrong?"
"That's right. It must be my husband's fault if I make my wife unhappy. Tell me how to punish me."
Mi Yue looked at his expression and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I'm not really angry, I just feel embarrassed."
Meng Haowu looked at the way she was speaking, with a soft light shining in his eyes. Mi Yue's petite body made him feel an irresistible impulse. He slowly stretched out his hand, as if holding up a precious treasure, Gently held him in his arms.
Mi Yue's body looked particularly fragile and petite in Meng Haowu's arms.
Her unique fragrance was like a breeze, causing ripples in his heart.
Meng Haowu's hands gently stroked her back. The feeling was like stroking the feathers of a bird, both soft and fragile, which made people feel love and affection.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. Meng Haowu just held Miyue quietly, enjoying the tranquility and happiness of this moment. Miyue was allowed to be held by Meng Haowu, and she could also feel the love from Meng Haowu. Warmth and care, I can't help but feel a sweet feeling in my heart.
Suddenly, Mi Yue smelled a familiar burning smell, and her heart was shocked, and she immediately thought of the fish being grilled.
Her reaction was quick and decisive, with almost no thought, Mi Yue immediately pushed Meng Haowu out.
Meng Haowu was caught off guard by this sudden movement. His doubtful eyes swept across Miyue's face, but he did not see any panic or fear.
He looked at Miyue, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, his surprise was quickly replaced by the scene in front of him: the burning smell was getting stronger and stronger.
Miyue picked up the wooden stick and said with an aggrieved look: "Look, it's all numb. What should I do now? I can't eat it. It's all yours. Why should I hug you? Is it okay now?" You can’t eat anymore, maybe a hug can fill you up.”
Mi Yue frowned, her face so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to drip. She glared at Meng Haowu, her eyes like sharp daggers, as if she wanted to cut him completely.
"Look at you? I didn't look at the grilled fish well. Is it better now? It's burnt and there's no need to eat it, right?" She spoke coldly, her words full of reproach.
Miyue was blaming her, but at the same time, she felt sorry that he didn't have dinner. After all, this was the fish he had worked so hard to grill, and it was his dinner.
She was chattering so much, but she still turned around and walked towards the river.
Meng Haowu just sat there and looked at her, wondering what she wanted to do, until the moment he saw her rolling up her trouser legs to get into the river, he ran over quickly and pulled her back.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you know how cold it is in the water right now?"
"Then what should I do? I can't just watch you go hungry."
Meng Haowu pulled her back, squatted down and lowered his trouser legs for her, "I asked you why are you so impulsive? Just stay with me. Even if you want to catch her, I will definitely do it." ,Understand?"
Although his voice was a bit loud, Mi Yue felt it was very heartwarming.
"But, as you just said, the water is very cold now, how can you get down there?"
"Silly girl, I am just a rough old man. Is it possible that I am still afraid of this?"
Mi Yue felt a little distressed when she heard this, and was a little reluctant to let him go into the water, but she couldn't bear to see him hungry.
Without saying a word, Meng Haowu went straight into the water and caught another fish as quickly as possible.
This time, Mi Yue grabbed it and roasted it carefully.
Meng Haowu stood aside quietly, watching Mi Yue skillfully grilling the fish.
Her back is elegant and firm, holding the fish in one hand and holding the wooden stick in the other. Her movements are natural and smooth, and the flames jump and dance under her control, grilling every side of the fish until golden, exuding an alluring aroma.
A deep sense of sweetness welled up in his heart.
Mi Yue's every movement and every smile made him feel warm in his heart.
Miyue seemed to feel his gaze and turned back to smile at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? What are you doing standing there? Come over here quickly and warm your feet to avoid the cold wind."
"Bake it. Why, I want to eat roasted feet."
Miyue listened to him joking with her, reached up and patted it, "When are you still so poor? You stinky feet, keep them for yourself to chew on."
Meng Haowu laughed boldly and leaned towards her, "I like your lady's fragrant feet."
"Oh, are you disgusting? Besides, how do you know whether mine smells good or not? I haven't washed it yet, so it definitely smells terrible."
Meng Haowu hugged her and leaned on her shoulders, "As long as it belongs to a lady, everything smells good."
The two people looked at each other and smiled, then quietly grilled the fish.
