Alternative Jianghu Adventures

When Xia Yun finally came back with two pheasants, the slanting moon had already risen.

"Why so slow?" Qiao Anyue glanced at Xia Yun with Liu Mei, her tone quite dissatisfied.

Xia Yunpi smiled bluntly: "Blame me?"

I don't know which pervert wants to eat pheasants on the way of darts!

Don't you know that pheasants are hard to beat?I don't know if Xia Yun has not eaten yet and feels weak all over?

If you have the ability, you can shoot one?If it takes less time than her, Xia Yun, she, Xia Yun, will give her a hundred pheasants!

However, Qiao Anyue seemed to ignore Xia Yun's inner roar, calmly took the two pheasants, and took out a kitchen knife from the package in the sedan chair!

The kitchen knife was a bit smaller than ordinary kitchen knives, and it was not square like a mulberry knife or a slice knife, but as small as a dagger, and in terms of style, it was more inclined to Jiujiang Bay.

The back of the knife is curved, but both the head and the belly of the knife are unique in workmanship, thin, long and narrow, black on the top and white on the bottom.

Although Xia Yundui didn't have much research on kitchen knives, seeing such a unique workmanship, he still couldn't help asking, "What's the name of this knife?"

"No name," Qiao Anyue thought for a while, "I found a blacksmith to forge it myself according to my needs, and I usually call it a kitchen knife."

Xia Yun: ...

Wait, is she paying attention the wrong way?

——What kind of person would bring a kitchen knife when going out?

Xia Yun finally came to his senses, and couldn't bear to ask.

"Of course it's cooking."

Qiao Anyue gave her a natural look, and replied affirmatively: "In life, the only thing you can't live up to is food."

After saying that, he ignored Xia Yun and dealt with the two pheasants in his hand.

Bloodletting, hair removal, and internal internal cleaning.

The three actions are completed in one go.

Under Xia Yun's stunned gaze, Qiao Anyue found a small packet of spices exuding a strange fragrance from the package - it was extorted from the Huaipai chef.

Xia Yun could barely smell the coriander and fragrant leaves, but he couldn't smell anything else. He only felt the aroma was tangy, and just smelling it whetted the appetite!

After about an hour, Xia Yun's stomach gave out a protest alarm.

Only then did Qiao Anyue calmly wrap the chicken in dried lotus leaves that she had bought in Qingzhou City before, and stretched out a hand to Xia Yun.

"Why?" Xia Yun was puzzled.

"Bring the wine." Qiao Anyue answered simply.

After receiving the wine that Xia Yun handed over in a daze, Qiao Anyue mixed the wine with yellow mud, put a liter of firewood prepared earlier, and put two chickens inside.

"Then what?"

"Wait," Qiao Anyue said succinctly, "It's more delicious with wine and water."

It took about a stick of incense like this, and it was already the west end of the moon, before Qiao Anyue asked Xia Yun to put out the fire.

Instructing Xia Yun to pull out two black objects from the firewood——

After the yellow mud was dried, it cracked into lumps, and Xia Yun cracked it with a light tap on the handle of the waist knife.The moment the lotus leaf inside was exposed, a burst of wine scented the nostrils!

She quickly untied the rope, and the crisp lotus leaves unfolded, steaming, and Qiao Anyue quickly stopped Xia Yun's next rude move of sending the chicken to his mouth.

Hastily turned the kitchen knife in his hand to Xia Yun, "Wait!"

As he said that, he took out a small jar of sesame oil from the package and poured it on it. Seeing that the golden-yellow and oily chicken completely absorbed the flavor of the sesame oil, he retracted the kitchen knife and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."

Xia Yun: "...really particular..."

Having said that, the taste of the pheasant covered with a layer of sesame oil changes suddenly. The smell of wine, cloves, nutmeg, star anise and sesame oil intertwine into a strange smell, which makes people intoxicated by this aroma just by smelling it. .

——Fortunately, both Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue were two girls, and they had avoided crowds at first, but now because they opened a small stove by themselves, they directly found a secluded place to smoke.Otherwise, the chicken in Xia Yun's hand would never be exclusive to him!

Xia Yun happily took a bite.

The surface of the chicken is crispy. Under that layer of crispness, first is the smooth gravy, and second is the tender chicken, which melts in the mouth, almost making her swallow her tongue.

"How is it?" Qiao Anyue asked sullenly.

As a chef, no matter how superb her cooking skills are, no matter how aloof she is, the most important thing is the evaluation of the food by the diners.

Xia Yun devoured half a piece of pheasant, and Qiao Anyue watched from the side and couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"Hmm...it's okay." Xia Yun wiped her mouth and smiled intentionally, "I didn't expect you, a young lady, to be able to do this! Why, now that you're cooking, don't you hate being dirty?"

Qiao Anyue ate at the same speed as Xia Yun. As soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, Qiao Anyue stuffed the last piece of chicken into her stomach.

The whole process was extremely elegant, but Xia Yun couldn't help being taken aback by this familiar elegance.

Moon is like this too.

"About food, can it be the same as other things?" Qiao Anyue slowly poured out the water bag and washed his hands.

Xia Yun's eyelids twitched, and he was suddenly brought back to his senses by the sound of rushing water, and his chaotic thoughts suddenly returned to their place, "Hey, hey, hey! This is drinking water! What are you doing? I don't know that the pond is very far away from here. Is it far? When the water runs out, why don’t you go fight it!”

……

"I shouldn't be fooled by her appearance!" Xia Yun squatted by the pond, the water bladder filled a bag full of water, and said viciously to himself,

"She must be looking for trouble on purpose! She is definitely targeting me! Isn't she owed 190 nine taels? As for messing me up like this?

... No, I can't let her mess around tomorrow, if this continues, I will be beaten to death by her!absolute! "

Here Xia Yun was cursing by the pond, while Qiao Anyue over there had already been brought back safely into the sight of the other bodyguards.

Qiao Anyue said hello to the guards guarding the night, and then walked to the room assigned to Xia Yun and her to rest—even though it was a room, it was just a decent shelter in the deserted Laifu Inn.

The only advantage is that you don't have to be crowded with the group of escorts outside.

As soon as Qiao Anyue entered the room, she restrained her expression.

She strolled to Xia Yun's parcel, unpacked it lightly, and rummaged through it carefully.

Did not turn over the soldier symbol.

Qiao Anyue's eyes darkened, it seemed that Xia Yun put the soldier talisman close to her body.

... This is not easy to handle.

If you can't find a suitable reason to search the body, there is really only one way left.

For no reason, when she thought that she might kill Xia Yun, Qiao Anyue suddenly felt a panic in her heart, and her body trembled unconsciously.

For a while, she didn't hear the sound of insects outside the house!

"You can't kill her!"

Qiao Anyue's complexion changed, cold sweat broke out on her back, and she suddenly uttered these words from her mouth.

As if talking to himself.

Outside the window, crows screamed strangely, flapped their wings and flapped the branches, making bursts of noise.

"Who are you!" Qiao Anyue's hands trembled uncontrollably, her brain seemed to return to calm after a flash of sharp pain, and the sudden voice seemed to be her hallucination.

Her lips were pale, she took a deep breath, put Xia Yun's things back in place, shook her head involuntarily to comfort herself.

Maybe it's just an illusion?

There was the sound of footsteps on the gravel outside the house.

"Hey! If you dare to wash your hands with a water bag, I don't care about you!" Xia Yun gritted his teeth and walked in from outside the house, staring at Qiao Anyue's hand, "What are you doing?"

Qiao Anyue has returned to normal.

"Put the kitchen knife back!" Qiao Anyue rolled her eyes as a matter of course—now she can do this kind of unrefined gesture in front of Xia Yunmian without changing her face—Xia Yun contrasted that it was probably nearly Zhu Zhechi.

"...There are so many things..." Xia Yun muttered, tidying up the temporary rest area, "Let me tell you, there is no bed all the way here, and your young lady Jingui's body is dying, on this pile of straw Make do with it.

Anyway, I have given you all my little straws, and there is nothing you want. You... love to sleep or not! "

"how about you?"

"Tch, my master's sleeping is a difficult movement!" Xia Yun held a reed torn from the pond in his mouth, turned over neatly, and sat firmly on the dilapidated railing.

The barn that had been abandoned for a long time made creaking noises.

"What are you looking at, have you never seen such a handsome sleeping posture of the young master?"

Xia Yun glanced at Qiao Anyue, "I beg you, Miss Qiao, the people outside have already gone to bed, and they will get up early in the morning before dawn, so you should go to bed early, and don't make any more tortures." Me!"

"You..." Qiao Anyue secretly said.

"Shut up!"

"...Don't you take a bath at night?"

"...Do you want me to die?"

Xia Yun hung helplessly on the beam, but the beam broke without warning because of one of her actions!Throw Xia Yun straight out of the air!

Meeting her is simply unlucky for eight lifetimes!

Xia Yun sat on the fallen beam, cursing angrily.

However, he still reluctantly stood up and took the package and said to Qiao Anyue with a bad face, "I will endure you one last time!"

Xia Yun's fingertips ran across her package, and his heart shuddered—this package has been moved.

And this method...

***

"Let's set a password!"

Xiao Xiayun and Yue'er huddled together among a group of friends, laughing and discussing what to play today.

So Xiao Feizi took the lead in making this proposal.

"What password?" Xiao Xiayun was puzzled.

"I think, if we want to set up a secret organization, we must have a special method of communication!" Xiao Feizi nonsense said nonsense, "It's like the group of beggars who often carved pictures of us laymen in front of the ruined temple. Incomprehensible symbols! We also want to have this thing!"

"Then tell me, what should we choose?" Hu Zi leaned against Xiao Fei Zi and said in a rough voice.

"Hmm... Xia Yun, what do you think?"

"Hey, how do I know!" Xia Yun was bewildered.

Yue'er suddenly raised her hand, pointed at the hairband tied on Xia Yun's hand, and said Nuo Nuo, "...How about we use this? If we want our family members to know our identity, we... just Tie two knots!"

As for children, they can't think of particularly novel or special passwords.

As soon as Yue'er said this, she immediately got unanimous approval from the others.

——Although...they didn't use this code at any time in their daily games, and this casually decided code was just like the random rules of many games before, and was quickly forgotten by everyone back.

***

Xia Yun clearly remembered that she tied a single knot before.

"What are you doing in a daze? Didn't you say you were going to take a bath?" She said to Qiao Anyue calmly and angrily, "I'll keep watch, hurry up!"

Someone moved her baggage.

Who could that be?

Is it a stranger she doesn't know?Or the one in front of me...

Miss Joe.

Xia Yun urged Qiao Anyue to get out of the town, and after a while he walked to the narrow road, Xia Yun suddenly heard the sound of fast horses galloping behind.

Xia Yun quickly pulled Qiao Anyue back and shrank in the grass.

While breathing, the sound of horseshoes approached.

The wind was blowing under the hoofs of the two bay red horses, and a man was hunched over each, both wearing straw hats, with the brims of the hats lowered, so that they couldn't see their faces clearly.The two horses, one behind the other, seemed to be heading towards the pond that Xia Yun was going to take Qiao Anyue to - they flew past Xia Yun in an instant!

"Is there anyone still on their way at this late hour?" Qiao Anyue blinked and asked in a low voice.

Xia Yun's palms were full of sweat. Looking at the two fast horses that disappeared from sight, her previous experience in dart running made her intuition that it was not that simple.

"Maybe it's the night traveler delivering the letter, but there is another possibility..." Xia Yun said in a deep voice.

"what?"

Xia Yun's breath was stagnant, and he turned to Qiao Anyue's face and said, "We have to go back quickly...you'd better not know about it."

Subconsciously, although he had doubts about Qiao Anyue, Xia Yun still regarded Qiao Anyue as an ordinary person who didn't understand the secret language of the world.

"I have to go back and meet Ding Biaotou."

Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue flew across the grass and returned to the ruined town.

Dao meets fast horses, if her guess is right, there will be two fast horses passing by on the road tomorrow morning!

According to the rules of Jianghu, the four animals are sentry first. If they come back after traveling five miles, someone must have made a move.

This is a robbery!
