"It's not like you don't have hands. I haven't come back, so you can't stop it yourself." In front of Lu Yunyou, Xingyu had no intention of admitting his mistake. Instead, he openly contradicted Mr. Hu, and then said politely. : "Brother Lu is going to be a guest at our house tonight. Grandpa, go cook the meal. I will collect the remaining medicinal materials."
Then, when Lu Yunyou thought that Xingyu was neither old nor young and did not know how to respect his elders, Xingyu's next words made him feel that Xingyu's mind was very mature and did not look like a normal child at all.
"I know, Mr. Lu, please bring the fish over quickly." What surprised Lu Yunyou was that Mr. Hu was not angry at all at Xingyu's yelling, but instead softened his tone.
"Brother Lu, here you go." At the same time, Xingyu handed the two fishes he was carrying to Lu Yunyou, and then happily ran to the place where the medicinal ingredients were dried.
As soon as Xingyu left, Lu Yunyou hurriedly walked towards Mr. Hu with four washed fishes. Under the setting sun, Mr. Hu's figure looked slightly stooped, not like a reputable pharmacist at all. The aloofness that had originally given him disappeared. Now it seems that Mr. Hu is just an ordinary old man.
"Do you need my help?" After walking up to Mr. Hu, after hesitating for a long time, Lu Yunyou took the initiative to ask.
"If you want to eat early, then come over and help me. If you are not in a hurry, then go sit in the house first. It doesn't make any difference to me whether there is anyone to help me." Taking a few fish from Lu Yunyou, Mr. Hu didn't have the intention to readily accept Lu Yunyou's help, but he didn't refuse either.
"Then let me help you." He was very surprised by Mr. Hu's statement. Undecided, Lu Yunyou still felt that it would be better to help, otherwise it would be nothing to just sit there all the time.
"Okay, come with me." After looking at Lu Yunyou quite unexpectedly, Mr. Hu suddenly felt that in terms of temperament, Lu Yunyou was no different from an ordinary martial artist. He was even more like an ordinary person. He was so ordinary that he was surprised, but On the other hand, he could clearly see that Lu Yunyou was very powerful, but under the contradiction, he was no longer sure what kind of person Lu Yunyou was.
After a while, the two of them walked into the not-so-spacious kitchen. At a glance, the layout of the kitchen was still very simple. Apart from the basic cooking tools, Lu Yunyou didn't find anything superfluous. Then without Mr. Hu's reminder, he Go directly behind the stove and put the Wuchen Sword aside first.
"The flint is in front of you," Mr. Hu reminded him directly after understanding Lu Yunyou's plan.
Following what Mr. Hu pointed, a pair of flints appeared in sight. After rolling up a handful of hay, Lu Yunyou used the flints to light the hay first, and then waited for the fire to get bigger before putting in some dry firewood. There was no problem in the whole process. Soon his shadow was clearly imprinted on the wall behind.
On the other side, while being surprised by how quickly Lu Yunyou started the fire, Mr. Hu, who was busy chopping fish meat, couldn't help but speed up.
Fortunately, it takes a certain amount of time for the cooking water in the pot to boil. Although it was affected to a certain extent, Mr. Hu was not too anxious.
Not long after, Mr. Hu asked Lu Yunyou to use another pot. Lu Yunyou and Xingyu brought back a lot of fish today, and they had to be fresh when eating fish. He planned to finish all the fish.
After Lu Yunyou lit the fire under the other pot, Mr. Hu walked around the stove faster, busy here and there, without any free time. At the same time, Lu Yunyou quietly paid attention to the fire in front of him. Inadvertently, Some memory fragments flashed in my mind.
If he returns to Chiyun City from Fancheng now and finds Hong Ying and others, he can join the escort agency to protect others. For a moment, his idea of leaving the army was extremely strong, but the facts before him calmed him down. , thinking of some situations in the army, he knew that there was no possibility of him leaving the army for the time being.
As his mood became calmer, he no longer thought about leaving the military camp. He simply thought that with his current strength, he would make Hong Ying and others proud of him. Thinking of this, he laughed happily.
"Bang", a crackling sound came from the firewood, interrupting Lu Yunyou's thoughts and bringing him back to reality. In the light of the fire, all the past scenes in Lu Yunyou's mind disappeared.
"Lower the fire on the left. You haven't put the rice in the pot yet, and the water has almost dried up. How do you ask me to cook?" Mr. Hu in front of the stove gave Lu Yunyou a white look through the hot water vapor. He originally thought Lu Yunyou can cook, but now it seems that Lu Yunyou only knows how to make fire.
As soon as he opened the lid of the pot, steam was billowing, and he could not get close to the pot. In desperation, Mr. Hu could only shout at Lu Yunyou.
"Okay," Lu Yunyou said in a daze, and quickly took out a few burning logs and put them under another pot, then concentrated on controlling the fire and no longer thought about the past.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker. At some point, Mr. Hu had lit two candles in the kitchen. The dim light flickered, giving off a warm atmosphere.
The life of Mr. Hu and Xingyu is so comfortable, so comfortable that Lu Yunyou yearns for it. Unfortunately, the upcoming war is very likely to destroy this comfort. Thinking of the group of bandits in Qincheng, Lu Yunyou feels more and more waiting for Fancheng to lose Control, the villagers around Fancheng will be affected sooner or later.
Those gangsters who committed all kinds of crimes would not care whether the civilians they robbed lived happily or hard. Even if there were no gangsters, the existence of ferocious beasts was still a problem. After many concerns emerged in his heart, some of his views changed. Maybe Mr. Hu He Xingyu's life is not as easy as it seems.
Time passed little by little. Before dark, Lu Yunyou and Mr. Hu finally made dinner. The original four fish were divided into two parts, one braised and one stewed. There were not many dishes, but the portions were sufficient. Lu Yunyou waited for When we stopped, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas.
Then the two of them brought the food to the living room together. Unsurprisingly, the smell of the fish was quickly obscured by the smell of medicine. Fortunately, with the experience of noon, Lu Yunyou didn't care about not being able to smell the aroma. He just wanted to know how the fish tasted.
After the food was put on the table, just like at noon, the three of them did not speak and were busy filling their stomachs. After finishing the meal, they simply cleaned up and Mr. Hu called them to rest.
The next morning, Xingyu got up early and got dressed at dawn. He thought he could not wake up Lu Yunyou, but in fact, when he turned over, Lu Yunyou was already awake. I don't know why Xingyu Since he got up so early, Lu Yunyou didn't ask, he just opened his eyes and looked at Xingyu from time to time.
"Brother Lu, you have a good rest. I'm going to help grandpa pack his things. I'll call you later." After getting dressed, Xingyu found that Lu Yunyou had woken up and immediately greeted him.
Then, without waiting for Lu Yunyou's response, he left the house and went outside to help Mr. Hu put various medicinal materials into the medicine boxes, one big box and one small box, one old and one young each carrying one.
Today is the day when they have to go down the mountain to treat the villagers. The grandfather and grandson got up early, but they did not plan to make breakfast by themselves. As usual, they had to go down the mountain to eat.
After packing their things, Xingyu called Lu Yunyou and told him that they were going down the mountain for medical consultation. After learning that Lu Yunyou was going to return to Fancheng, the three of them went down the mountain together.
It was seven or eight miles from here to the village at the foot of the mountain. By the time the three of them reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dark. After being reminded by Xingyu on the way, Lu Yunyou already knew that they were going to have breakfast at the teahouse at the entrance of the village.
Xingyu said that the breakfast there was delicious. Out of curiosity, Lu Yunyou planned to have breakfast before leaving. After staying in the mountain for one night, half of the aura of martial arts cultivator on his body disappeared, and now he looked more like a Ordinary people.
When he deliberately restrained his aura, the three of them walked together. The grandfather and grandson never felt any discomfort. If Lu Yunyou hadn't said that he was a general just now, Mr. Hu would have continued to regard Lu Yunyou as the most ordinary martial arts cultivator. , but even though Lu Yunyou had introduced himself, Mr. Hu still didn't believe that Lu Yunyou was a general, because in his opinion, Lu Yunyou didn't look like a person with blood on his hands.
Unknowingly, the three of them walked to the only teahouse at the head of the village. A long way away, the shopkeeper and waiter left the other guests and hurried over to greet Mr. Hu.
"Mr. Hu, you are here."
The shop owner was not much younger than Mr. Hu, but his tone was extremely respectful when talking to Mr. Hu.
"Mr. Hu, who is this?" After Mr. Hu nodded casually in response, the shop owner looked at Lu Yunyou with enthusiasm.
"A guest," regardless of Lu Yunyou's identity, Mr. Hu did not intend to introduce it in detail, and replied simply and clearly in one sentence.
"It turns out that this is a rare customer. Please come in and invite me." Immediately afterwards, the shop owner greeted Lu Yunyou enthusiastically, and then made an inviting gesture to Mr. Hu.
Following Mr. Hu, Lu Yunyou, who was wondering why the shop owner was so polite to Mr. Hu, saw that the shop owner personally arranged a table for them. More importantly, those people waiting to eat or buy things were all very kind to the shop owner. He didn’t have any objections to his behavior, but instead greeted Mr. Hu warmly.
Such a scene made it easy for Lu Yunyou to think that Mr. Hu must have very high medical ethics and be very respected in the village. All in all, the enthusiasm of those people made him feel uncomfortable.
Unlike him, Xingyu adapted to the situation at hand and happily asked the shopkeeper for something to eat. Then, the shopkeeper immediately brought breakfast to the three of them before going to entertain other guests.
