So, Duan Chen went to wander around the nearby woods to see if he could bring back some wild vegetables or game.
I just sat there and rested.
There is also some water and snacks in the backpack. Take them out and eat some to relax.
At this moment, it should be exactly noon.
The trees here are relatively sparse, so the golden sunlight shines down from the gaps between the branches and leaves in the forest, creating golden beams of light.
There are fine dust suspended in the air, and they look like gold dust between the golden sunlight pillars.
It has a kind of literary beauty and is pretty good-looking.
I had nothing to do, so I simply sat cross-legged and meditated again to further restore the true energy of my Dantian...
After coming out of the [Uncanny Forest], because my "spiritual sense" returned to normal, I was even in a meditative state. You can also easily sense your surroundings.
In addition, as an internal martial artist with great secret power, his sixth sense is also very keen. Even if Duan Chen is not around, he does not have to worry about being attacked while meditating.
About half an hour later, I heard footsteps coming from the side.
Open your eyes and look back.
They saw Duan Chen coming back carrying a wild rabbit and pheasant in one hand and a bag in the other hand - the bag seemed to be filled with wild vegetables.
Duan Chen was slightly startled when he saw me meditating.
"Damn it, right? Wu Wu, you have to meditate while taking advantage of such a small amount of time. You are practicing too hard! Alas, mom is more talented than me and works harder than me. It's so irritating!"
He walked up to me and shook the rabbit and pheasant, looking indignant.
I answered with a smile.
"I'm used to it...and I have a reason why I have to become stronger."
"Oh? Tell me."
"I won't tell you!"
"No, don't talk about knocking me down!"
Duan Chen dropped his bag on the ground again.
"I was lucky enough to pick some Northeastern wild vegetables. This thing is called Acanthopanax, also known as Acanthopanax or Acanthopanax. I have eaten Northeastern specialties in high-end restaurants in the city before. Fried is best, but it's a pity. There is no oil, so you can only boil it with water and then cool it.”
As soon as I heard it was a local specialty wild vegetable, I became interested!
After all, I have been a foodie since I was a child... Apart from Master and spiritual practice, my biggest hobby is food!
Duan Chen asked me to pick vegetables, and he peeled the skins himself and used magic to light a fire, preparing to roast hares and pheasants.
Unfortunately, just by looking at the clumsy way this guy is plucking his hair, you can tell that his cooking skills are extremely poor.
So I "deprived" him of his identity as a "chef" without hesitation, and asked him to help, while I took care of it...
Not long after, roasted hare and pheasant were on the campfire, emitting the intoxicating aroma of fat.
Sizzle!
The barbecue makes a sound, and droplets of hot oil with a tangy aroma slowly slide down along the lines of the plump meat. Falling into the pile of dry pine firewood below, the aroma of a plant stirred up above.
Duan Chen rubbed his hands and stared at the two kinds of barbecued game meat that I was gently turning to make them evenly heated. He kept swallowing his saliva and his eyes were shining.
"Smells! It smells so good. I didn't expect you, Wu Wu, to be so good at cooking. Should you let others live? There is no justice."
I answered with a smile.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. I am at most a food lover. As long as you are religious about food ingredients, the food you make will not taste particularly bad. The main reason is that you have stayed in Changbai Mountain for too long, quite a long time. I didn’t get anything delicious to eat.”
Duan Chen scratched his head.
"That's true... Although at our level of cultivation, it's not a big problem if we don't eat for ten and a half months. But cultivation is for a better life. If there is no good food, drink and fun, then what's the point! This period of time in the deep mountains and old forests has been very suffocating for me."
I smiled and shook my head.
This speech is very consistent with the temperament of a dandy!
Look at the roasted hare and pheasant on the shelf. They are almost done, so pick them up.
"Would you rather eat rabbit or chicken?"
"What should I do if I want to eat it all?"
Well……
I rolled my eyes at this guy and asked him to pick a leaf from a wild taro bush not far away and place it on a stone.
Then take the roasted hare and pheasant off the sticks, place them on the leaves, and take out a sharp Damascus steel knife...
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Two cold lights flashed.
The roasted rabbit and roasted chicken placed on taro leaves were split in the middle and turned into two halves.
I sprinkled the chive flowers and wild onion sauce I just made on top.
"Okay, half a rabbit and half a chicken for each person. Okay?"
After saying that, I couldn't help but feel greedy, so I pulled a roasted chicken leg and stuffed it into my mouth...
This is pure natural game from the Changbai Mountains, and the quality of the meat is incomparable to that of farmed meat. It is also roasted over pine wood firewood, and its aroma is overflowing. Coupled with some mashed chive flowers, it becomes more flavorful, tender, crispy, salty, and fragrant with chives and onions...
It stirred and danced in the mouth for a moment, and the delicious taste reached the tip of the tongue, filling the mouth with the aroma of meat!
"Okay! This chicken is roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's fragrant and refreshing, not greasy or tangy, it's so delicious. The rabbit meat is also delicious... but I finally have a decent meal."
Duan Chen was mumbling like an Ethiopian refugee who had been hungry for several days, and his mouth was full of oil!
The two of us ate up the roasted rabbit and chicken in a hurry. Then he ate cold Acanthopanax boiled in water to relieve his tiredness. Then he rubbed his belly contentedly and sat under a towering tree, leaning against the trunk to rest and chat.
"Old Duan, what are your plans after leaving Changbai Mountain? Go back to Qingcheng Mountain directly?"
I asked him.
Duan Chen put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and chewed a grass stem in his mouth.
"Tch~ I don't want to go back. The old man is still angry, and he might get beaten when he goes back. I'll continue to hang out outside for a while!"
He paused...
"What's more, the two strange things that resurrected your immortal brother Madoka were created by the two of us through life and death together. I also want to see how the royal family of Jade Claw Hai Dongqing was resurrected! It's a great experience. .”
I laughed.
"Okay! Having one more person to protect you will give you more peace of mind."
I was still thinking about whether Taoist Xu Xinyi would be at the Yucheng Xiuxing Company when the time came, and it would be best if I could call him to help. After all, he has a high level of cultivation and is well-informed!
At the same time, there is also a very secret little idea - that is, let Duan Chen and Xu Xinyi meet - and finally confirm his identity 100%!
Maybe my petty thinking is a bit like judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
After all, if Duan Chen hadn't carried me and ran away for my life, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave that mysterious lake... If he was a bad guy, there would be no need at all!
As long as you ignore me and run away, you might be able to loot my magic weapon.
After being together for so long, I can probably tell whether he is telling the truth or lying.
Moreover, I actually want to say a few good words to Xu Xinyi in front of him...
I turned around to look at Duan Chen, patting his belly rhythmically with his hands and humming a tune in his leisurely manner. I couldn't help but feel funny.
I guess this guy doesn't know these complicated little thoughts of mine, right?
