Pei Liang got up late and finally slept in. When he walked out of the ship building, he saw Na Yaoniang drying dried meat on the deck.
The pieces looked like shriveled cucumbers, neatly spread out.
"The sun is shining on your butt, you lazy idiot!"
Yaoniang, who was squatting on the ground, smiled without looking back.
"How did you know it was me?" Pei Liang came over.
"Your footsteps are lighter than a woman's walking. I'm so familiar with it." Yaoniang was busy with her hands. At this time, her back was facing the two plump buttocks, which were outlined in a seductive arc by her dress.
Pei Liang couldn't help but glance down, and was caught by Yaoniang who suddenly turned around.
"You did it on purpose?" Pei Liang was not stupid and scratched his head.
"You're so shameless, what do you think I don't know about you?"
Although Yaoniang cursed, there was no expression of shame or anger on her face. Instead, she winked at the boy mischievously: "Do you want to touch me?"
"This dried meat is really good!"
Pei Liang, who was not fooled, squatted down next to Yaoniang with a look of surprise on his face.
"It's good. If you don't dry it, it will get damp. If you don't eat it for a long time, it will break easily!" Yaoniang picked up one and handed it over.
Pei Liang nodded, took a bite, and pretended not to understand.
It didn’t take long to return to the ship building.
Xiao Wan took Lu Qingyan downstairs. They greeted each other and sat down.
Yaoniang laid out today's food, which included preserved fruits, dried meat and the like. Fortunately, they were all women and their appetites were small, so they would be full after just eating.
Lu Qingyan's state today was obviously different from others. She rarely spoke and stopped taking it after taking a few bites.
Pei Liang thought she had a poor appetite and couldn't get used to eating these, so he said, "I'll catch some fish this afternoon and let's grill them."
As soon as she heard that there was grilled fish, Yaoniang suddenly felt that the dried meat in her mouth was no longer fragrant, so she threw it out of the window.
Xiao Wan clapped his hands repeatedly and applauded, almost drooling with greed.
Eating these dried fruits and dried meats every day makes me sick of them.
Only Lu Qingyan's eyebrows were indifferent and she kept her head lowered.
"Pei, do you have to talk about the ninth-ranked master in the world today?"
Yaoniang stretched and said with a smile.
"Okay" Pei Liang responded, clearing his throat first:
"The ninth person in the world is a monk. He has never returned to his dharma title. His name before becoming a monk is unknown. The reason why he is ranked higher than the Crazy Sword Immortal is because his Buddhist Vajra power has already reached the realm of enlightenment. His defensive power is rare in the world. , when the crazy swordsman once confronted him, all five swords in the box could not break his body. He was invincible without taking action, and his natural ranking could overwhelm others."
"No wonder it's called a turtle, the turtle shell is quite hard!" Yaoniang joked.
"People have nothing and nothing, and they have returned. The master has a kind heart and wants to save all sentient beings. You can't make fun of it casually."
"Know it!"
Yaoniang responded angrily.
"In order to resolve the murderous evil committed by the Mad Sword Immortal, he followed him for a full six years and was inseparable. He forced the Mad Sword Immortal to take a solemn oath not to kill any more before he left. During his travels, he even treated countless people along the way. He is an accomplished monk who is respected by both black and white people."
"Really amazing!"
Even Xiao Wan, who was not familiar with the affairs of the world, couldn't help but sigh, this is the real monk, the living Buddha walking in the world.
"I'm going up to rest first." Lu Qingyan suddenly raised her head, greeted everyone, and left the case.
After Xiaowan followed suit, Yaoniang patted Pei Liang on the shoulder:
"You, this great beauty, seem unhappy today!"
"When the moon waxes and wanes, let alone people." Pei Liang sighed.
Yaoniang suddenly came closer and smiled: "Pei, don't tell me, you are quite popular with women. Even the daughter of a bachelor is very fond of you."
Pei Liang didn't show any joy or pretend to be calm when he heard this. There was only a touch of melancholy in his eyes that seemed to be always calm.
Yaoniang is a miserable person, so why not Lu Qingyan?
Yaoniang was born with a hard life, while Lu Qingyan was born with a hard life. The former may suffer all the hardships one day, while the latter is likely to become increasingly miserable.
Although he had not had much contact with her in the past few days, Pei Liang could probably guess a lot from Lu Qingyan's few words.
Lu Qingyan's fate is completely dependent on the towering tree of her family. Once the tree is uprooted, her fate will be countless times worse than that of a beggar on the street. The struggle between politics and power is far more complicated than a vendetta. Even more bloody.
Everyone wants to fight against an unfair fate, but in the end they will be caught tightly by fate.
"I just want to be an idle cloud and a crane!"
Pei Liang finally expressed his truest thoughts, but to Yaoniang's ears, this was undoubtedly another act of pretense.
"You are a wandering cloud and a crane, what should I be?"
"Pursue your inner thoughts and be whatever you want to be."
"You be your hero, and I will be my hero's wife, so we don't interfere with each other."
"So when it comes to Yujing, you don't plan to follow me anymore."
"Pei Liang, I want to ask you, have you ever attended a private school?"
"I was so poor when I was young, how could I have money?"
"Then who taught you how to read and write?"
"My master"
"Your master can teach you everything, but he has taught you how to understand a woman's words?"
"My master only said that this woman is the most touching when she is infatuated, the quickest to turn away when she is ruthless, and the most unpredictable."
"Okay, pretend I didn't ask. With such a master, he can't teach any sane disciples."
Yaoniang snorted coldly and walked away.
Looking at the sparkling sea outside the window, Pei Liang put away a cynical smile.
So, was this cheap master who claimed to have owed countless romantic debts in his life, but in reality he was still a boy when he died, really wrong?
Pei Liang doesn't think so, maybe it's just not entirely right!
———
In the evening, a gorgeous sunset appeared in the sky.
"The falling clouds and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water becomes the same color as the sky."
Everyone who has read the preface to Prince Anteng's Pavilion will think of this sentence, which is known as the ultimate description of scenery in ancient and modern times.
At this moment, I am immersed in the scene, which is even more beautiful. No matter what worries and worries I have, I will forget them.
On the deck at the stern, curls of smoke rose.
Pei Liang took matters into his own hands and disembowelled the fat carps one by one.
Yaoniang took a stick and threaded the fish one by one.
Xiaowan and Lu Qingyan were responsible for lighting the bonfire in the basin.
There was a lot of wood on the boat, which had been chopped into pieces by Pei Liang, and pieces were piled up into a hill.
See the flames burning more and more. Xiaowan quickly called Yaoniang to come and bake.
The carp that had its scales removed, its fins cut off, and a knife put on it was roasted over a high fire, and its alluring aroma came out.
Yaoniang sniffed it vigorously, her face blossoming with joy.
"Be careful you light the stick on fire."
Xiao Wan also giggled.
Lu Qingyan put firewood into the fire with gentle eyes. Seeing how happy the two of them were, a smile appeared on her face.
By the time Pei Liang had finished handling all the fish, Yaoniang had already begun to feast.
The steaming fish meat was held between Yaoniang's green fingers, and it was so hot that she gasped as soon as it was brought to her mouth.
Xiaowan and Lu Qingyan looked at each other and smiled.
"How is it?" Pei Liang squatted down and asked.
"It's fresh, but a little fishy." Although Yaoniang said it was fishy, her expression when chewing was that she was enjoying the delicious food.
The fish was processed very clean, but the fishy smell is normal. It is difficult to remove the fishy smell without marinating it with seasonings.
"Don't we still have a few oranges that we are reluctant to eat?" Lu Qingyan suddenly asked.
"Yes, applying orange juice on the fish will just remove the fishy smell!" Xiao Wan immediately said excitedly.
"I'll get it"
Yaoniang handed Pei Liang the grilled fish and ran into the boathouse.
Pei Liang sat down on the ground with a blackened wooden stick in his hand, and picked off a large piece of fish. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, his eyes met Lu Qingyan's.
"Do you want to try it?"
Pei Liang just wanted to be polite, but Lu Qingyan smiled slightly and actually accepted it.
The prime minister's daughter, who was known to be a germaphobe, didn't mind the fact that the man's hands were still stained with visible blood, and swallowed the soft fish meat in one gulp.
Pei Liang looked at Xiaowan again.
"Don't give it to me, don't give it to me"
Xiaowan quickly declined.
Pei Liang smiled awkwardly and nodded politely. He looked up at the red clouds in the sky and suddenly thought of something.
Fireworks in the world
The most touching thing
….
When Yao Niang brought the orange, she immediately peeled it open, crushed the orange flesh with clean hands, and spread the juice evenly on the fish body and meat gaps.
Facts have proved that Lu Qingyan's idea was great. Not only was the fishy smell greatly reduced, but it also had a sour and fruity aroma.
The three women had a great appetite and each ate a fish.
The last two slightly smaller ones were eliminated by Pei Liang in one breath.
“Comfortable”
Yaoniang patted her stuffed belly and lay on the deck, silently admiring the disappearing clouds in the sky.
Xiao Wan followed suit and lay down comfortably.
Naturally, Lu Qingyan would not be so casual and help Pei Liang clean up the mess.
"Sister, you don't have to do this, just let Pei Liang take care of it. He has nothing to do when he is free."
Yaoniang turned her head and said with a smile.
Pei Liang also declined repeatedly, so Lu Qingyan could only nod her head and walked to the side of the boat alone.
After Pei Liang finished all the work, he was about to sit down next to Yaoniang when he was kicked in the butt by the woman.
"You grown man, why are you hanging out with us women?"
Pei Liang sighed, patted his butt and left.
Yaoniang covered her mouth and smiled at Xiao Wan beside her:
"Am I too cruel?"
"Not aggressive, but good at playing"
At night, a bright moon rises between the sea of clouds, and the sea is vast.
After all three girls went to bed.
Pei Liang sat on the bow of the boat, replaced the wine with water, put it into a pot, and drank by himself.
Even Yuan Qianqiu was carried out by him with the wooden board attached to him, and he wanted to ventilate him. The second reason is because Pei Liang really can't find anyone with whom he can chat while drinking.
No matter what he said, Lao Yuan would just listen, which was good.
Lu Qingyan appeared on the ship's roof at some unknown time, wearing a small piece of clothing. It was windy at night.
She remembered that the last time she looked at the moon like this, she was outside the Liu Mansion.
The young man was not around at that time,
But at this moment, it is already close before our eyes.
