In the early morning of Shuri, after Bai Li washed himself several times by the stream, he saw Mo Guyuan still sitting cross-legged on the bank, practicing with his eyes closed.
Since he fell asleep again last night, Mo Guyuan also sat quietly not far from Baili and began to practice the Huangting Sutra, not daring to delay his practice for a moment.
Bai Li frowned and looked at it for a few times, a little confused as to why this idiot kept meditating and practicing every time he had free time. Could it be that there was nothing else to do besides that?
Bai Li walked slowly to Mo Guyuan and looked at the appearance of the man in front of him carefully.
At this time, the first ray of sunlight fell in the forest, and it happened to hit Mo Guyuan's eyes. He looked like a young man, but due to the fatigue of the past few days, his face was slightly weathered and a little more tired.
Bai Li looked a little lost in thought. Ever since the two met, everything they had experienced seemed like just yesterday. Was it a dream? But it's so real.
After a long time, Mo Guyuan slowly exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes and stretched, and saw a woman in white leaning on the treetops directly in front of her with a sword in her hand, looking quietly into the distance.
"Good morning, Miss Bai Li." Mo Guyuan waved his hand and smiled at the woman in the tree.
Bai Li turned his head away, nodded slightly, and floated down. The two faced each other, their figures elongated by the sunlight, like old people meeting again in time.
Mo Guyuan looked at the innocent Bai Li in front of him and wondered why this woman always gave people such a cold and taciturn look. I have saved her a few times out of righteousness, but it seems that I can only see her in a slightly unstable state except at the critical moment of life and death. Normally, when I look at her, I just look at a piece of ice. As for seeing her smile, it's just a flash in the pan, rare to encounter.
Mo Guyuan didn't know that the stars last night were Bai Li's first human form, and for the first time such an innocent and flawless smile could only be seen by him.
After Mo Guyuan asked about Bai Li's general condition, he suddenly heard a gurgling sound in her belly and remembered. Mo Guyuan was stunned. He waited until he remembered something and then looked at Bai Li. Seeing the latter blushing slightly, he raised his head and pretended to be fine.
"Miss Bai Li, you have just recovered and you have used up some energy in the past. It is normal to be hungry now. It is better to fill your stomach with the dried fruits I picked last night so that you can get better quickly." Mo Guyuan Said with a smile.
Bai Li nodded, still a little embarrassed. Mo Guyuan walked towards the canvas carrying the dried fruits. When he got closer, he opened it and saw that there were no dried fruits at all. They were all piles of broken peels.
Mo Guyuan lowered his head and looked at the current scene, his eyelids twitching. He knew it was the dead monkey who did it without thinking about it. Mo Guyuan picked up the canvas and held it tightly in his hand. He looked around, but Xiao Jin was nowhere to be seen. At that moment, he had no choice but to shrug at Bai Li and raise the empty cloth bag in his hand.
"Zhizhi."
"Zhizhi."
Just when Mo Guyuan was about to look for the fruit again, Xiao Jin's cry suddenly came from not far away. Mo Guyuan turned his head and looked back. For a moment, his jaw opened slightly for no reason, and he looked at Xiao Jin slowly in disbelief. Come.
Xiaojin put his hands on his shoulders and was walking forward step by step with great effort. On his shoulders was a huge gray hoof, and behind him was a gray-brown wild boar. However, this wild boar had obviously lost its breath, and its head was bruised, nose and face were swollen, its tusks were broken, and its body was dented in many places. It seemed that it was beaten badly by a monkey before it died.
Xiao Jin pulled the wild boar's leg and finally walked to Mo Guyuan. He let it go, pointing one finger at Mo Guyuan and the other at the dead wild boar on the ground. He kept gesticulating and squeaking in front of Mo Guyuan with a very expression on his face. Be genuine and sincere.
Bai Li looked on curiously. Although he didn't understand what Xiao Jin was talking about, seeing such a bold monkey speaking affectionately at this moment, Bai Li also felt that this monkey must be talking to Mo Guyuan about something important. things. This wild boar looks like it is very vicious. Could it be that there is some danger ahead? Could there be some big and dangerous things hiding on this island? Bai Li suddenly thought.
For a moment, Mo Guyuan still maintained the starting position, standing stiffly on the spot, still holding the empty bag full of debris in his hand, lowering his head and looking at Xiao Jin's presentable face.
Xiao Jin's mouth went dry as he spoke, and he kept jumping up and down. Bai Li even saw tears in his eyes, and his cry was a little sad.
Bai Li couldn't help but frowned and looked at Mo Guyuan, and said softly, "Is it dangerous ahead? Do you need to go together?"
Mo Guyuan was stunned, looked at Bai Li next to him in confusion, and subconsciously asked, "What's the danger?"
"Didn't it just kill a wild boar? Is there a more ferocious beast ahead?" Bai Li asked.
"No, this damn monkey wants me to roast this wild boar." Mo Guyuan explained.
"Toasted...roasted?"
"Yes, this guy may have guessed that we would have an appetite after waking up, so he went to hunt for food on his own. I cooked a few meals for him a few days ago, and he relied on me. Kong will take the initiative to search for wild animals all over the mountains so that I can cook them and eat them. Looking at the size of this wild boar, this dead monkey's appetite is getting bigger and bigger." Mo Guyuan said with a smile.
Below, Xiao Jin looked at Mo Guyuan with tears in his eyes, full of begging, and his eyes were full of expectation. Bai Li looked at the monkey's appearance and didn't know what to say.
Suddenly there was an open fire in the forest, and smoke was curling up from the kitchen. In half an hour, Mo Guyuan had already neatly tidied up the wild boar. At this moment, he used a huge bush to cross the wild boar, and put it on the wood that had been set up to roll back and forth. bake.
The wild boar had rough skin and thick flesh, but under Mo Guyuan's firepower, it was soon covered with oil. The wild boar's body was covered in golden color, and the smell of oil smoke kept coming to his nostrils. Bai Liguang, who was standing by, felt that he was already extremely hungry. He was so reserved that he could only sit aside and watch blankly. Suddenly, Bai Li glanced at Xiao Jin, who was sitting opposite him, and saw that it was calm and composed, with no strange expression on its face. Under such temptation, it still remained unmoved as if a mountain had collapsed on its face. Bai Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that this monkey was really courageous, which was really rare.
After a while, just when Bai Li couldn't help but want to ask, Mo Guyuan finally stopped what he was doing, looked at the fuming wild boar in front of him, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll add it later." Just some seasoning and it’s ready to eat.”
Bai Li was puzzled. Xiao Jin on the side suddenly jumped into the air. When he landed, he kept looking around the wild boar, as if he was thinking about where to start nibbling. Only then did Bai Li realize that there was a trace of liquid slipping out of Xiao Jin's mouth that he was trying to hold back, and his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't know what was hidden there.
Mo Guyuan took out a piece of cloth from his arms and opened it carefully. Bai Li looked at it curiously, and for a moment he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. Of course she knew the things in the cloth. They were all salt and condiments used by ordinary people for cooking. It’s just that the collection among them is more abundant. In addition to fine salt, there seems to be cumin, powdered chili pepper, star anise, cinnamon, tea leaves, etc.
Mo Guyuan felt that the cloth was easy to carry and he didn't put it in a nearby place. The seasonings in it were picked and preserved by himself along the way. Now they are considered some of his own possessions.
With the addition of Mo Guyuan's seasoning, the aroma of the forest spreads instantly, making people even more mouth-watering than before.
Only now did Bai Li understand why Mo Guyuan carried such cloth with him. Unexpectedly, after being roasted by his hand, the wild boar had already greatly increased people's appetite even before it was eaten. If I wanted to eat when I was hungry before, now I really want to swallow it in one bite.
On the side, Xiao Jin couldn't hold his mouth shut the moment Mo Guyuan poured in the spices. His saliva was drooling down, and he was scratching his ears and cheeks, impatient. Bai Li glared at Xiao Jin for no reason. That monkey was really unusual. He must have been waiting for this moment on purpose.
Xiao Jin couldn't care about the woman at the moment. He just waited for Mo Guyuan to get everything ready so that he could show off his skills.
"Num, it's ready." Mo Guyuan sniffed it gently and felt that it was almost done. He smiled at Bai Li and said.
Bai Li nodded, swallowed his throat, and was about to reach out and tear it apart. Mo Guyuan on the side quickly said, "Be careful of the burn."
Bai Li was stunned, his face turned red, and he took his hand back. When he didn't know what to do, Mo Guyuan had already cut off a piece of pig's trotters, passed it across with his sword, and raised his hand to Bai Li.
Bai Li looked at the dark and translucent iron sword. She had seen the power of Xuanyuan Sword before, but now she was a little overwhelmed.
"Come on, don't be polite. This wild boar is too big. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it." Mo Guyuan said.
Bai Li glanced at Mo Guyuan, took it, and began to chew it carefully. The moment he entered the mouth, the meat felt tender and the fragrance was pleasant.
When the two of them were still not satisfied and wanted to eat more, they discovered that most of the wild boar had been devoured by Xiao Jin. At this moment, Xiao Jin was holding the wild boar's bones and licking them back and forth, refusing to let go.
Mo Guyuan looked at Xiao Jin funny and said helplessly, "It seems like this wild boar is not too big."
When Bai Li heard this, he lowered his head and chuckled. Mo Guyuan turned his head and looked around. At this moment, he realized that the woman in white actually had some aura of human fireworks, just like that ordinary woman. It turned out that he had never seen it properly.
"Is it delicious?" Mo Guyuan asked with a smile.
"It's delicious. It's the best thing I've ever eaten." Bai Lihuai said with a smile.
"That's good."
The two of them sat in silence, exchanging only a few words, but there was no longer the awkwardness before. Occasionally they said a few dispensable words, as if some distance was quietly closing between the two of them, but they were not aware of it.
Just when the two of them were about to clean up and pack up, a voice suddenly came from the forest. There seemed to be a trace of doubt in the voice, and both of them had heard it.
"It's strange. I obviously smelled the fragrance coming from this direction, but why has it become a little lighter?"
Bai Li was startled, raised his sword and carefully watched the surroundings, but saw Mo Guyuan beside him frowning at the source of the sound, his eyes a little confused.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Li asked slightly worriedly.
Mo Guyuan tried his best to look into the distance, slowly shook his head and said, "That voice sounds like a friend of mine."
"Friend?" Bai Li was curious. The voice was clearly that of a man. He vaguely remembered that there was only that petite woman beside him when he landed on the island. Could it be that he had other companions with him?
Mo Guyuan quickly took a few steps forward and looked away again with concentration. In the distance, two people were walking towards this path soon. When they got a little closer, Mo Guyuan stared suddenly, looking at the man in white in front of him in disbelief, and rubbed his eyes again, before he could speak. , the man in white on the opposite side ran forward quickly, with a smile on his face and more of a surprise.
He hugged Mo Guyuan tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and shouted deeply, "My good brother, I finally found you."
