The fragrant and hot wontons were brought to me. I couldn't wait to pick up one with my chopsticks and eat it.
The wontons were still a little hot, and I exhaled because they were so hot. I raised my eyes and met Li Ze's gaze. His eyes were full of hunger, and he even swallowed his saliva.
I swallowed the wontons and reluctantly picked one up and fed it to his mouth.
"I'll only give you one to eat, no more."
His face was flushed, his eyes were wandering, as if he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth and closed it again.
"Hurry up, it's about to drop." I held the chopsticks up like this, my arms were a little sore.
Just before the wontons were about to fall, Lize opened his mouth and took them in.
After eating the wontons, Lize's cheeks were not only red, but his ears and neck were also red.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers, no longer paying attention to me.
I ate wontons for him, but he got angry instead. Could it be that he thought I was stingy?
I looked at the few wontons left in the bowl. There were too few, and I thought about it. Still not willing to give him another one, I tried.
"How about I ask the boss to cook you a bowl?"
"I'm not hungry." He still lowered his head, the tips of his ears were red, and didn't look at me.
I can only see the top of his head facing me. He has quite a lot of hair. The hairpin on his head is white and has leaves carved into it.
"If you're not hungry, then what are you angry about? Did I offend you?" You're not hungry when you look at me eating and swallowing. You're a duplicitous guy.
I really wanted to give him a big look.
"Uncle, don't worry about me. I'll go somewhere else. I'll come back when you're done eating." He muttered angrily.
After saying that, he stood up and left. While I was eating, I reached out to hold him, "Don't worry, what if we get separated? I don't even know where to find you."
At this time, if I knew where the plot was going, I wouldn't have stopped him.
Lize suddenly chuckled, his gentle eyebrows raised slightly.
He reached out and wiped the corner of my mouth.
The skin of his fingers was delicate and warm, and when he rubbed it against my mouth, it felt a little numb.
This action is too ambiguous. Damn it, I can't bear it anymore. My heartbeat is too fast.
I let go of him and covered my heart with my left hand, my heart beating fast.
"Stop jumping, Lize knows that he is a monster, but he still discharges electricity randomly." I silently said in my heart.
"Go ahead and transfer. I'll contact you later using the Tongxin Bell."
At this moment, I wished he would disappear quickly, and I didn’t dare to look directly at him. I had only eaten a few wontons in the bowl, and I was still hungry, so I couldn’t bear to waste them.
"good."
The shop owner brought the monster meat jerky and made a few shortbread cookies.
The dried meat is very strong, and it’s best to tear it apart to pass the time when you have nothing to do.
I handed the boss a low-grade spiritual stone, and he brought back a large package of spiritual beads.
I put the spirit beads into the Qiankun bag and the dried meat puff pastry.
After finishing the wontons and still not seeing Lize come back, he took out the Tongxin Bell, input his spiritual power, and silently recited Lize's name.
After reading it twice, Lize's voice came from the other side.
"Uncle Master?"
"It's amazing. It can actually be used as a phone. Where are you? I'm going to find you."
"Don't wander around, I'll be right over."
I heard his very noisy voice, like many people talking.
"Where are you? Why are so many people talking?"
"I was just squeezed into the Lantern Festival by the crowd. Don't run away. I'll be right over."
At the Lantern Festival, I turned around and looked around. There was a bridge not far from where I was. The lights on the other side of the bridge were bright and the people were buzzing. The Lantern Festival must be there.
I walked along the river to the bridge. As soon as I reached the center of the bridge, I saw Li Ze, who was hurriedly walking back, but was squeezed in the crowd and couldn't get out.
"Uncle Master, just wait for me over there. Run over here. If they squeeze in, you won't be able to get out." His voice was a little breathy, and he tried to walk out while speaking.
"It doesn't matter, I haven't seen the lantern festival yet. I've seen it on TV before."
I walked towards the waiting room full of curiosity.
More and more people were coming and going around me, and I was pushed to the edge of the bridge by the crowd. The railings of the bridge were a little low.
Why are these people so energetic? There is no way they can squeeze through.
Just when I thought of this, I was squeezed back again. My feet slipped. I felt like the world was spinning. I had no focus and my body fell off the bridge.
When I fell, I was still thinking, It's okay, I can swim.
Little did I know that this place was different from the human world in my memory.
The world of cultivation is full of crises, and there is no sign of potential danger on the calm river surface.
The moment I fell into the water, I was still thinking that I would be able to swim ashore immediately.
After falling to the bottom of the water, I had no chance to swim up. The bottom of the water was even darker at night, without a trace of light.
As soon as I raised my hand and waved twice, I was grabbed by someone. The person who grabbed my arm could not be called a human. It was a monster with the head of an animal and the body of a human.
"We have another prey today, and she is a female monk. We can go back and deal with the boss."
I was confused, why are there monsters on land in the water?
Bear heads, horse heads, dog heads, and cow heads are all present, but there are no underwater creatures. Isn't this reversed?
They grabbed my hands so tightly that they couldn't break free.
I was tied up with an ordinary rope without any seal or spiritual power. They probably thought that a disciple with a low cultivation level like me was incapable of escaping.
I was thrown into a small house made of shells, isolated from the water, and very dry inside.
I heard several people shouting to continue drinking.
I used the Emei Thorn and cut the rope smoothly. I rubbed my wrists that had red marks on them.
It hurt, so I stood up and walked over to open the door.
I pulled it, but it couldn't be opened. No wonder I wasn't afraid of me running away. There was a bar on the door.
I took a step back, raised my hand and tried to make a Five Thunder Seal against the door panel, "The sky is round and the earth is round, the law is nine chapters, the universe borrows the law, all the gods obey the order, break!"
The door panel shook a little, as if the wind was blowing and causing a ripple.
I didn't believe it. I tried several times but couldn't open it.
Just before I succeeded in spiritual power, the restriction suddenly disappeared and the door was pushed open. I was overjoyed. I didn't expect that I was so powerful.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Before I could even smile happily, I was pulled into a hug filled with sandalwood, and my nose hit my hard chest, which hurt.
Lize's voice was a little hoarse, and he looked me up and down eagerly.
Seeing my tearful eyes, he looked stern, raised his hand and threw the monsters lying in a mess at the door three feet away, and then disappeared out of thin air.
"Uncle, please stop crying. I will avenge you." This is the first time I have seen Lize's gentle tone.
"No, they didn't hurt me, you knocked me..."
Before I finished speaking, Lize pulled me out. When we came out, we found that we were still underwater.
At this moment, the bottom of the water is as bright as day, and it seems that the monsters have hung up night pearls.
"That's good, otherwise, I have to tear down their nest, and even our Xuanqing Sect people would dare to provoke them." Lize sounded a little annoyed.
We were wrapped in something like a bubble, and Li Ze took me floating towards the water.
I curiously reached out and poked the transparent cover. It was elastic and bounced back and forth. It was so fun.
Seeing that I was getting playful, he was not in a hurry to go out, and the bubbles just floated in the water.
"It seems that on the road ahead, it's better for my uncle to stay closer to me, as accidents can happen in front of him." Lize's voice was full of self-blame and more of annoyance.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect ordinary people here to be so powerful. I fell down with just the slightest touch."
"The world of cultivation is full of monks. Ordinary children are usually on the third level of Qi training. Only those who don't have any spiritual roots will turn to physical training if they can't practice spiritual power. So don't underestimate anyone who tries to get close to you."
"So, I, who is at the second level of Qi training, am not even as good as a child? No wonder Master wants me to go down the mountain only after I have reached the fifth level of Qi training."
"Master is also worried about you." He raised his lips, seeming to be amused by my words, his face full of joy.
"Are you also laughing at me that I'm not as good as a child?" I pouted, feeling a little disappointed. This Qi training period is too slow. How can I grow up quickly?
"I'm not kidding you. Are you cold in wet clothes, uncle? Come back to the inn quickly."
It's cold. I don't have the ability to use my spiritual power to dry clothes. After all, I'm not even as good as a child.
Back at the inn, except for two of the fellow disciples who stayed in the lobby, everyone else was staying in the room.
Lize sent me into the room and asked for hot water before turning around and leaving.
I took a hot shower and put on clean clothes. My hair was still wet and could only be worn loosely.
