The night falls into silence, lonely and cold.
Tao Feng couldn't eat much during the year. He picked up and put down his rice bowl and kept looking in the direction of Yinfeng Stream, wondering if Jiang Yuebai was cold or hungry.
Really losing his appetite, Tao Fengnian warmed the rice in a pot and went back to the house to rest.
"Senior Sister Lu, please don't straighten your back so much. We sneaked out, so don't be so confident."
"That's right, to be a thief you have to act like a thief."
"What's the difference between a bow and a non-bow? The three of us are not as tall as this courtyard wall."
"Uh...it seems right."
Hearing the noise, Tao Fengnian didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He pushed the door open and went out, and saw three little people standing in the courtyard.
"grandfather!"
Jiang Yuebai smiled and rolled his eyes as he rushed forward.
"well!"
Tao Fengnian's nose was sore and he was in tears. The little girl had only been away for two days, but it felt like two years to him.
Tao Fengnian rubbed Jiang Yuebai's head and looked up at the two people behind him.
Xie Jingshan nodded and Lu Nazhi bowed his hands in salute.
"Junior Lu Nanzhi, I am harassing Mr. Tao tonight, I hope..."
"Grandpa is cooking, we are starving to death."
Tao Fengnian was pushed to the kitchen by Jiang Yuebai. Lu Nazhi's body was half-hunched over and frozen on the spot, neither getting up nor getting up.
"Pfft~"
Xie Jingshan suppressed a smile, Lu Nazhi glanced over at him, and Xie Jingshan hurriedly caught up with Jiang Yuebai.
"Cook more rice, it's best to bring a bucket."
"Xie Jingshan, are you a loser? After taking Bigu Pill, you still want to eat it!"
"I asked for it for Lu Nanzhi."
"Nonsense, Senior Sister Lu is so young, how can she eat a bucket of rice?"
"Can you tell after a while?"
"Stop talking nonsense, your single fire spirit root is just the right time to light the fire."
"How dare you ask me to light a fire?"
Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan were arguing, while Tao Fengnian, with no sore waist or leg pain, was happily washing rice without asking them how they got there. He just brought out all the delicious food at home to entertain the friends the little girl brought back.
Xie Jingshan couldn't talk to Jiang Yuebai, so he just sat under the stove and started to light the fire.
Tao Fengnian smiled slightly. He had heard about these two children, and they were right. Looking at the little girl getting along with them, he knew that they were good children, at least much better than Lu Ying.
Not long after, the hot spiritual rice and stewed meat came out of the pot. The aroma was so fragrant that Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan couldn't help but wipe their saliva. Only Lu Nazhi observed the etiquette and endured with all his strength.
"Here you go, and yours too."
Jiang Yuebai knelt on the stone bench and stood up to serve the rice, placing the bowls in front of everyone.
Lu Nanzhi picked up his chopsticks and said, "Thank you for the tip..."
"It's so hot, hoo~hoo~, it's so delicious."
"……treat."
Seeing Jiang Yuebai devouring the food with great heat, and Xie Jingshan also vigorously picking up the rice, Lu Nazhi rarely raised the corners of his lips and showed a bit of a smile.
Xie Jingshan was not too hungry and put down his chopsticks after eating a bowl of rice.
Jiang Yuebai didn't feel it even if he didn't eat. Once he ate, he couldn't hold it back and moved his chopsticks like flying.
Lu Nanzhi was originally eating slowly and slowly, but when he saw that the stew was getting less and less, he frowned anxiously and secretly speeded up.
In the past, the delicacies from the mountains and seas at home tasted like chewing wax. Today, they are just a pot of stewed monster meat. It tastes dry but tastes endless.
"I can't eat anymore, Senior Sister Lu, are you still eating?"
Lu Nazhi added bowl after bowl of rice. He ate elegantly and could not bear the large portion.
Finally, all the food in the meat basin was used to soak the rice. After eating everything, he put down his chopsticks, covered his face and wiped his mouth.
"I'm full." Lu Nazhi looked blushing.
Xie Jingshan raised his eyebrows, while Jiang Yuebai was dull.
Tao Fengnian sat in the distance, smoking a cigarette and beating his back with a smile. He was born with a spirit body and had an amazing appetite. The rumors were indeed true.
After eating and drinking enough, the three of them didn't want to stay in Huaxi Valley, so they left early while the night was dark.
"Girl, these rice balls and meat are enough for you to eat for the next few days. If nothing happens, it's better not to sneak out."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, we are measured."
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Nanzhi took out a pack of spiritual stones and offered them to him with both hands.
"It's really inappropriate to bother me today, and it costs Mr. Tao money. I hope Mr. Tao will accept this spiritual stone and express his feelings."
Tao Fengnian didn't reach out, Jiang Yuebai's face fell.
"Lu Nanzhi, are you just going to be strangers to me like this? Or do you still look down on me?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just that I...actually ate too much."
"Put the spirit stones away and go, there's so much nonsense!"
After walking through the mountain gorge until the bamboo raft docked, Jiang Yuebai didn't say a word to Lu Nazhi, and Xie Jingshan didn't dare to say anything at his side.
Jiang Yuebai jumped off the bamboo raft, and Lu Nazhi was inexplicably panicked, "Junior Sister Yuebai, I didn't mean that."
Jiang Yuebai turned around, "Then what do you mean? Why doesn't Xie Jingshan give me the spirit stone, but you want to give it to me?"
Lu Nazhi stood on the bamboo raft and said seriously, "The Lu family rules say that when gentlemen interact, they need to be respectful without losing anything, and be respectful and polite."
Hearing this, Xie Jingshan shook his head and sighed.
Jiang Yuebai laughed angrily, "Don't you think it's too tiring for you to be so disciplined and observe the Lu family's family rules and etiquette?"
Lu Nanzhi was silent.
"You want to cultivate the path of disobedience, why are you still abiding by the Lu family's rules?"
"The way of disobedience..." Lu Nanzhi's pupils trembled slightly.
While Lu Nazhi was stunned, Jiang Yuebai suddenly stepped over the bamboo raft.
Plop!
Lu Nanzhi fell into the cold stream, "Junior Sister Yuebai, you..."
Snapped!
Mud bloomed on Lu Nanzhi's chest, like snow-white clothes, a mess.
Lu Nanzhi was stunned. She used to be cautious and her clothes were not stained by dust. She thought she was born to be clean, but now she was covered in mud, but her heart was not disturbed.
Seeing this, Xie Jingshan stared in horror. The children of the Lu family were all dignified and elegant. How had they ever been in such a state of embarrassment?
Jiang Yuebai pinched the mud ball, "Have you never been so dirty since you were a child? Let me tell you, mud is not only fun, but it can also be used to practice hand skills."
Xie Jingshan's eyes lit up, "How does Niba practice the techniques?"
Another ball of mud was thrown out, but Lu Nanzhi didn't block it at all.
"You pulled off Lu Nazhi's hair tie, and I'll tell you." Jiang Yuebai smirked.
Xie Jingshan was so angry that he raised his hand and the flames flew straight towards the white hair ribbon on Lu Nan's branch.
Attacked from both sides, Lu Nazhi suddenly smiled.
Yes, she doesn't want to follow the Lu family's arrangements and follow her mother's old ways. Isn't that just disobedience?
Compared to the way of killing, she prefers the word disobedience, which brings a vicious pleasure to her heart.
If you want to be disobedient, then disobey to the end!
Wow!
Lu Nanzhisu raised his hand, and the water flow rolled up, extinguishing the flames and slamming into Jiang Yuebai.
Like a basin of water splashing on his face, Jiang Yuebai held his breath and staggered, as stunned as a drowned rat.
"Haha, you've got your reward in this world!" Xie Jingshan laughed mercilessly.
More water poured down from above his head, Xie Jingshan's laughter stopped suddenly, and his heart felt cold.
Lu Nazhi had a smile on her lips and raised her chin slightly, standing wet and proud in the stream.
"Xie Jingshan, you actually laughed at me!"
Jiang Yuebai was furious, and with the shaking of the ground, the ground at Xie Jingshan's feet became loose, and his body became unstable and fell into the stream.
"Lu Nanzhi, get him!"
Jiang Yuebai dug up two balls of mud and smashed them out with all his strength. Xie Jingshan splashed in the water and was hit all over his head.
"You two have gone too far."
Lu Nazhi smiled brightly, jumped onto the shore, dug out the mud with his hands, and smashed it wantonly.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nazhi looked at each other and smiled, throwing mud balls at each other at the same time, showing no scruples and letting nature go.
The laughter of the silver bell resounded for ten miles.
Childhood friendship, not mixed with foreign things.
After a rough fight, the three of them were covered in mud, and they all looked like their mothers had been beaten.
Mud is the same as disobedience. Lu Nanzhi was covered in mud and threw all the morning utensils into the stream.
"I, Lu Nazhi, will no longer abide by the Lu family rules from now on, and will only act according to my heart!"
With his thoughts clear and his mind relaxed, Lu Nanzhi took off his hair tie and broke the rule of not letting his hair down in front of others!
"Lu Nanzhi, actually I had selfish motives just now."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly said, and Lu Nazhi looked over.
"You are so high up that I can't reach you with my short arms. My neck hurts when I look up at you, so I have to pull you down. We are all covered in mud, and no one is nobler than anyone else."
Lu Nanzhi smiled and raised his hand to wipe mud on Jiang Yuebai's face. Jiang Yuebai bared his teeth and responded with both hands.
Xie Jingshan rolled his eyes, "Childish devil!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sigh of relief on his face.
Xie Jingshan:…………
The clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the sky was filled with stars.
Beside the campfire, Xie Jingshan was cursing and grilling meat, Jiang Yuebai cleaned her clothes and hair, and asked Lu Nanzhi to tie her hair.
Although he was being punished, Jiang Yuebai was very happy. Among the three of them, Lu Nazhi was like the sister next door, and Xie Jingshan was like her naughty brother.
She is a little homesick...
"It's roasted, here you go." Xie Jingshan handed the roast to Jiang Yuebai angrily, "I just ate it again and again, you are also a loser."
Lu Nazhi raised his eyes, Xie Jingshan was a little timid, mainly because Lu Nanzhi's water spirit body could defeat his fire spirit roots, so he couldn't beat him, and this guy was already somewhat protective of Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai bit into the meat and asked, "Xie Jingshan, why do you want to become an immortal?"
Xie Jingshan sat down and looked at the sky and sighed, "I made a bet with my father that if I put others first in everything and never fall behind others, I can become the number one swordsman in the earthly spirit world within a hundred years."
"Can't it be repaired?"
Xie Jingshan was frustrated, "If you can't repair it, go home and look at the shop."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, finished eating the barbecue and read a book for a while, yawning continuously, and actually felt tired.
"No, I suddenly feel sleepy. I'll take a nap."
With that said, Jiang Yuebai stuffed the book into his lapel, pillowed it on Lu Nanzhi's legs and fell asleep.
"If you are tired, go and rest. I will watch over you." Lu Nanzhi said to Xie Jingshan.
Xie Jingshan was flattered and looked deeply at Jiang Yuebai.
Lu Nanzhi has always been out of reach at the inner gate, keeping strangers away. From the moment she entered, no one has ever seen her smile.
Although he is only six years old, he acts like he is sixty years old.
Everything was broken today, and Xie Jingshan discovered that Lu Nanzhi also had a childish side.
Jiang Yuebai was really powerful at being able to melt icebergs, reminding him of what his mother had taught him.
When communicating with others, sincerity is enough.
He felt sincerity from Jiang Yuebai, whether it was towards him or Lu Nazhi.
At this moment, I think of Jiang Yuebai's words that day about him being chivalrous and courageous, eager for justice and justice. He was so perfunctory and false, but he could be fooled. It's really a hammer!
Smiling to himself, Xie Jingshan took a rest under the dead tree.
In a hazy dream, he dreamed that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, Lu Nazhi was furious, and Jiang Yuebai cried loudly, saying that he could never surpass him again.
Xie Jingshan chuckled and was suddenly slapped awake.
"Xie Jingshan!"
Xie Jingshan covered his face and sat up, seeing Lu Nazhi's expression solemn.
"Come and see Xiaobai."
Xie Jingshan stood up and followed behind Lu Nanzhi, and saw Jiang Yuebai closing his eyes and wandering towards Yinfengjian.
It's like a lost soul that cannot be awakened.
