Is there anyone in the southern rice fields that looks like a dog? It probably wasn't the reason why Lu Xiaoyi burned today's rice.
The eldest sister of the Little White Sword Sect was sitting in the kitchen with a sullen expression, looking at the rice in the pot that had dried into grains.
Lu Xiaosan has asked her several times outside - is the senior sister's rice ready?
Lu Xiaoyi could only say - not yet, wait a moment.
But after all, junior fellow apprentices and masters want to eat, when can they wait?
Lu Xiaoyi pinched a grain of rice out of the pot and it was chewy in his mouth.
Of course people like to eat chewy things sometimes.
But I guess rice won’t.
Lu Xiaoyi stood in front of the stove, but suddenly felt a little confused.
What was the reason why I had been squatting in front of the stove adding firewood, forgetting to take a look at the rice in the pot?
While Lu Xiaoyi was thinking this, the kitchen door was pushed open.
"Master, senior sister must have burned the rice." Lu Xiaosan stood at the door, looking at Lu Xiaoxiao walking into the kitchen, and said proudly, "I can smell the burnt smell."
Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and made a hitting stance, and Lu Xiaosan quickly ran away with his head in his hands.
Then the kitchen door was closed.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the stove, looked at Lu Xiaoyi who was a little distracted, then reached out and grabbed a handful of rice from the pot, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it.
After swallowing the rice with great difficulty, Lu Xiaoxiao patted Lu Xiaoyi on the shoulder and said, "Go get some more rice."
Lu Xiaoyi looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao for a long time, then nodded, lifted the pot off the stove, put another pot on top, and then walked to the back to wash rice.
The rice was quickly washed, and the fire was rekindled by Lu Xiaoxiao.
The master and apprentice sat in front of the stove, and no one said anything.
Until the voice of Lu Xiaoer came back from practicing his sword in the snow of Xiaobai Waterfall outside.
"Hey, why haven't you eaten today?"
Then there is Lu Xiaosan who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
"I don't know either, but master just said that if you come back, go to the kitchen to look for him."
Lu Xiaoer probably felt it was strange. He stepped on the rustling snow with his sword on his back and walked towards this side.
Then the young boy pushed open the door, holding the wind and snow on his shoulders, and poked his head inside.
When he saw Lu Xiaoyi sitting there in a daze, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him strangely and said, "Do you believe what Xiaosan said?"
Then the young boy knew that he had mistakenly believed the traitor's words and closed the door.
Not long after, Lu Xiaosan's begging for mercy could be heard in the wind and snow outside.
"Brother, stop your sword quickly, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
...
Lu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the door for a long time before looking back at Lu Xiaoyi.
"What happened to you today?"
Lu Xiaoyi, who had always taken care of his junior brothers without any complaints, was silent for a long time this time. Then he looked at Lu Xiaoyi and said, "Are they going to fight again?"
Lu Xiaoxiao understood, looked at Lu Xiaoyi and said, "When did you know?"
Lu Xiaoyi said softly: "It was some time ago."
When was it some time ago?
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a moment and then came up with it.
That should be before the second snow comes.
Because Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that he had only talked about it once about the demon clan in the human world.
It was on the courtyard of Tianya Sword Sect that Nan Dao was there that time, and he also talked about going to climb the cliff next year.
So Lu Xiaoyi was actually there at that time?
Lu Xiaoxiao really didn't notice.
But thinking about the time at that time, she might indeed be there and ask him to come back for dinner.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't worry about where Lu Xiaoyi was at that time. He just thought about it and said, "Actually, those things are just our guesses. Just like in the past many years, people sometimes doubted whether the two human-monster clans were the same. There will be disputes. But for many things, their big shots, like the senior brothers in the Sword Sect, will often help the world solve problems. They will not let it really get to that point. "
Lu Xiaoyi quietly looked at the firewood that was burning brightly in the stove. They were dry branches that she and her junior brothers picked up from the mountains and forests in their free time.
Just like Lu Xiaoxiao picked her back like this before.
Lu Xiaoyi sometimes walks in the mountains and forests with a basket on his back. When he looks at the firewood in the baskets of his junior brothers, he wonders, will one day he will be burned?
But such a thing would naturally not happen, so Lu Xiaoyi just thought about it and had no emotions at all.
Lu Xiaoyi looked at it for a long time, and then said softly: "Didn't you say that it might have been done by that senior fellow from the Human Sword Sect?"
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard this, he suddenly realized a lot of things.
Yes, in the eyes of her and Wu Dalong, some things are just one kind of guess and another kind of guess.
It's just that they are human beings, so they naturally don't experience deeper fears.
Is it the Tonggui Monument in Nanyi City that suppresses the rift between the two races and makes them flow together in the world?
no.
It was the sword sect who was as quiet as Tonggui Monument.
Only then did Lu Xiaoxiao realize that he had neglected his eldest disciple.
So this thirty-year-old Lingnan little sword cultivator looked at the always peaceful Lu Xiaoyi with a guilty look, touched her head and said: "Senior brothers of the Sword Sect know better than anyone else the consequences of some turmoil on the human world. harm, so it is naturally impossible for such a thing to happen. Those who secretly do such a thing just want you to have such misunderstandings. You have to know that when you start to doubt something, it will be difficult for you Believe in many things again.”
Lu Xiaoxiao stopped, thought for a while, and continued: "Just like many years ago, many years ago, the human race and the demon race were living in peace and harmony in the world, until the man named Li Asan in Huai'an began to suspect something. . So sometimes, don’t think too much. You may feel that there is a lot of wind and snow in the world because of hearing some stories. But just like the snow outside, the cold is only temporary. Wait until tomorrow spring, and you can Seeing the heavy snow melt away, everything looks like starting again.”
"I know." Lu Xiaoyi said after a long time, "But..."
"But what?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.
Lu Xiaoyi pointed to the blazing flames in the stove and said, "Master, your fire is too big."
Only then did Lu Xiaoxiao discover this matter. Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise the second pot of rice today would also be burnt, and he would have to take the five little ones to Wu Dalong's place to eat.
After all, there are only two usable pots in Jianzong.
Lu Xiaoxiao hadn't figured out how to deal with the burnt rice in the pot.
Because the kitchen was a bit messy today, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't cook any more. He just took two cabbages, washed them with snow-melting water, poured some lard on them and added some salt and chili powder. Put it in the pot and steam it together.
When they went out to call the other four young men to eat, they found that only two honest junior brothers, Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu, were still holding the little native dog in the Sword Sect waiting for the meal. Lu Xiaoer and But Lu Xiaosan didn't know where he ran.
.....
Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan were naturally hungry.
So I planned to go to the canyon to see if the two uncles were eating hot pot.
I originally asked Xiaosi and Xiaowu to go with them, but the two young boys didn't come with them, so they went by themselves.
When they ran downstairs in the wind and snow, they saw two uncles. One was an old man sitting on the ground under the eaves, and the other was shaking his head and playing music, so they understood that there was probably no Got something to eat.
I wanted to go back, but Lu Xiaosan said that he missed Tianya Town a little.
So the two young boys began to brave the wind and snow towards the high mountain cliffs behind the canyon.
It's just that the snowstorm was quite strong and it had been falling continuously for a long time. The road was very difficult to walk. The two of them walked hard for a long time through the deep snow before they returned to the Qingxi Cliff. superior.
If they just missed Tianya Town, the two young boys probably wouldn't have worked so hard to climb in the heavy snow.
When Lu Xiaosan drooled and said I miss Tianya Town.
Lu Xiaoer then understood that what he missed was not Tianya Town.
But it was the roast chicken that I had eaten in the town.
So Lu Xiaoer also started to miss him.
After the two young boys climbed up the thousand-foot-high cliff, they panted and sat down on the edge of the cliff.
Probably because they stood high enough, the two of them could see some twilight on the horizon in the gloomy wind and snow that lasted for a long time.
At dusk in the clouds, as soon as I climb the cliff, I feel like a young man in the world. There are countless mountains and snow-colored mountains.
Roast chicken is naturally delicious, and the journey towards the roast chicken is both painful and happy.
Lu Xiaosan sat on the edge of the cliff and shouted.
"I don't want to be the world's greatest swordsman, I want to eat the world's most delicious roast chicken."
Lu Xiaoer sat aside with his sword on his back and looked at his junior brother with a smile.
Probably also infected by Lu Xiaosan's bold words, Lu Xiaoer also shouted with some joy.
"I want to eat too!"
The young boy can do whatever he wants and eat whatever he wants, probably at his whim.
Because they don't have to feel many of the troubles in the world.
The two rested on the high cliff for a while, and then jumped down the cliff with a splash.
Then when he landed in a patch of snow, he froze.
Have you come to the wrong place?
Isn’t it spring in Tianya Town?
Just looking at the mountain roads with wind, snow and clouds, it seemed that we were in the right place.
The two young boys were suspicious for a long time, then they started walking towards the foot of the mountain called Jingting with their swords in hand.
Everything is still the same as usual, except for a lot of soft snow falling slowly.
For some reason, the two of them always felt that there was some alcohol in the snow.
Lu Xiaoer actually remembered what Nan Dao said about washing swords with wine.
I probably understood something.
The two of them walked through the wind and snow on Yunya towards Tianya Town. When they passed through the stone road on the lake, they saw that the entire town had fallen into the snow. The sky was a little hazy, and the town in the distance looked like a nest in the snow. Like an old man holding a lantern.
There was also a lot of snow in the sea of flowers, probably because the background color turned white, so the flowers and leaves that were clearly covered with some snow looked even brighter.
Cao Weiying is not sleeping in the sea of flowers, nor is she drinking under the peach tree hanging with snow by the lake. I don’t know where she has gone.
The two then headed towards the small town where many lanterns were hung.
There is no difference between the people in the town and the people in the world. They put on thick clothes made at once in the snow, stepped on the wet stone slabs illuminated by the lanterns hanging down from the cliff, and hurriedly walked. As he walked, he carried large and small bags of things in his hands, probably looking like he was shopping for new year goods.
But Lu Xiaosan was very curious. In such a hurried town surrounded by a large lake, where did it come from and where did it go?
When Lu Xiaosan thought about this question, he felt as if he had touched a glimmer of the true meaning of life.
So I stood on the street at the entrance of the town with my hands on my hips and began to sigh inexplicably.
It’s just that I probably wasn’t standing in a very good position, and I stepped on an old dog that was sleeping peacefully.
The old dog barked in pain.
The young boy was startled and he quickly jumped behind his senior brother.
The people in the town were attracted by the barking of the old dog, and they all turned back to look at the two brothers.
It's just that the two young boys who accidentally stepped on the old dog didn't find anything interesting to look at, so they turned back and continued walking back and forth.
Probably because they were startled by the old dog, the two young boys also became cautious. After all, this is not Lingnan, and it seems that it is not the human world.
As I walked along the long street, from time to time I would open the curtains of the nearby wine shops or various shops and peek inside, trying to find where Cao Weiying was.
It's just that the two of them searched for a long time and were so hungry that they couldn't see the young man in Qingshang who liked to drink with a flask.
Dusk was already fading in the snow.
Two young boys sat dejectedly on the street steps, watching the people coming and going.
"Senior brother, where did Cao Weiying go?"
Lu Xiaosan looked at a passerby holding a roast chicken in his hand and said while licking his lips.
Lu Xiaoer also swallowed, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, maybe I got drunk somewhere and forgot to come back."
Tianya Town is very big.
The two young boys who have been in this world for a while naturally know it very well.
However, many places were blocked by clouds and fog, and the two of them did not dare to walk around.
The two sighed, feeling that the colors on the horizon were like the crispy skin of roast chicken.
So he kept swallowing his saliva.
Yes, the road to roast chicken is difficult.
Lu Xiaosan sighed and said: "Brother, I'm so hungry. I wouldn't have come if I had known it earlier. I had some burnt rice in Jianzong. It was actually quite delicious. After one bite, it made a crunching sound in my mouth. "
"Stop talking." Lu Xiaoer patted Lu Xiaosan's head, and then stood up. The young boy stood in the dusk with his sword on his back and thought for a while, and then began to turn over his thick winter coat.
The young boy may not have much money, but because of his happy behavior of throwing coins, the two young boys could have some money.
However, the two of them also patronized Wuhu at that time.
In fact, I didn’t pick up much.
So Lu Xiaoer dug through it for a long time before he found about ten copper coins. Lu Xiaosan's eyes lit up and he began to look through his money.
It's a pity that Lu Xiaosan didn't bring any money with him, so the two people on the edge of the town probably had all their belongings consisting of the dozen copper coins in Lu Xiaosan's hand.
Of course it’s not enough to buy a roast chicken.
The two sighed again.
Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said, "Why don't we keep the sword there, and then wait until we find the old boy Cao Weiying and ask him to redeem it for us?"
Lu Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Xiaosan and sighed: "Junior brother, junior brother, how could you have such dangerous ideas?"
Lu Xiaosan sighed and said: "I don't care, I want to eat, I'm starving."
Lu Xiaoer looked at Lu Xiaosan helplessly, sighed, and said, "Then I'll give it a try."
Lu Xiaosan chuckled, stood up, and followed Lu Xiaoer toward the shop selling roast chicken in the town.
Two young boys stood in front of a shop hung with roasted chickens. The stove inside was roasting some freshly seasoned chickens.
The charcoal fire was bright red and the roasted chicken was golden, making the two young boys salivate.
After lingering for a long time, the two young boys still didn't dare to go up and actually trade the sword for a chicken.
Lu Xiaosan was probably hungry, so he hesitated for a long time. He looked at the roast chickens in front of him, thought for a while, walked to the counter, and said sincerely: "Shopkeeper, please bring a roast chicken. We are cold and hungry." , probably about to starve to death, if you have no other opinions, please hurry up."
Lu Xiaoer: "..."
Which bastard taught you to eat for free so confidently?
But to Lu Xiaoer's surprise, the man who was busy in front of the oven glanced at the two of them, and then actually took a freshly roasted chicken from the road and wrapped it in some oil paper. Passed it to the two of them.
Lu Xiaosan was probably just having fun with it, but seeing the roast chicken being handed over to him, he didn't dare to reach out and take it.
The man in front of the oven smiled and said, "I know you guys. It's the grass that was brought to Yingying. You can eat it if you want."
"Is this true?"
Lu Xiaosan stared at the man behind the counter with bright eyes.
"Of course I'm serious about it. Just ask him to pay you when the time comes."
"good!"
Lu Xiaosan finally learned to say a good word.
It’s just that I haven’t learned the essence yet.
Of course, good words about sword cultivation should be said calmly.
But a young boy who can think of trading his sword for roast chicken probably has nothing to do with sword cultivators at the moment.
Lu Xiaosan picked up the roast chicken on the counter with a smile, and then he laughed and walked on the long street with sparse snow. He eagerly opened the oil paper package, pulled off a piece of chicken skin, and gnawed it happily. With.
Lu Xiaoer stood behind, looked at the man, thanked him, and then quickly chased after Lu Xiaosan.
The two young boys walked along the street for a while, and then sat down under an eaves sheltered from the wind.
Lu Xiaosan spread the roast chicken on his knees while licking his fingers, tore off a large chicken leg and handed it to Lu Xiaoer who was standing aside.
"Senior brother, eat this."
Then he tore another chicken leg.
"I'll eat this, hee hee hee."
There was not much chill in the sparse snow in the town. The two of them sat under the dim light of the sky and the lights above their heads, eating very contentedly.
Maybe not that satisfying either.
Lu Xiaosan gnawed on the chicken leg and said vaguely: "It would be nice if I had some peach blossom wine to drink."
"..."
