Enter the kitchen

Lu Shiyi thought that he was going to die again, and the fear of dying had not completely dissipated. There was only chaos in his mind, and he had no time to think about how he came to this strange place from Luoshuiji.

"Are you awake?" The cold child's voice brought Lu Shiyi's consciousness back to reality.

A seven or eight-year-old boy appeared in front of Lu Shiyi with water in his hand. The boy had picturesque features, but his clear eyes were as cold as ice and there was no wave at all.

Lu Shiyi blinked, and when he looked again, the red mark had disappeared without a trace.

"Who are you?" As soon as Lu Shiyi spoke, he felt his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if it was blocked by a ball of cotton wool.

"My name is Shu Mo, and I picked you up." Shu Mo said indifferently, without too much ups and downs in his voice, and then handed the broken pottery bowl to the other party.

As soon as the water entered his throat, Lu Shiyi felt like he was reborn, and he also wanted to look at the other party.Shu Mo was wearing a white dress with soft texture and elegant fabric, and the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with dark patterns, which was very valuable at first glance.

Exquisitely dressed, with a refined demeanor... At first glance, Shu Mo looked like a spoiled and spoiled young man from a rich family, and he couldn't fit in with this dilapidated thatched cottage and broken pottery bowls.

"Where is this place? Why am I here?" Lu Shiyi asked one after another, but Shu Mo didn't answer, but just put the pottery bowl aside, and whispered: "I'm hungry, can you cook?"

As a responsible cook, Lu Shiyi couldn't do anything to make this lovely Yuxue child hungry.Instinctively, he put down his doubts, without any defense against Shu Mo in front of him.

The things in the thatched hut are limited, maybe it has not been fired for a long time, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the stove.A fat chicken was hiding in a corner on the yellow mud floor next to the stove, and its mung bean-like eyes looked at the two of them cautiously.

"Is there any seasoning?" Shu Mo blinked, tilted his head and looked at Lu Shiyi, as if asking what the seasoning was?

"Think I didn't say it." Lu Shiyi looked at the fat chicken in front of him and felt worried. After a while, he rummaged through the box and finally found a pinch of salt and sugar.

"Is there any water?" After Lu Shiyi finished speaking, Shu Mo pointed to a water tank not far away, which was filled with water.Lu Shiyi didn't care about his physical discomfort, so he scooped water into the pot on tiptoe.

Lu Shiyi has long been used to killing chickens and bloodletting them, but he is small and weak now, so he thought it would take a lot of effort, but the fat chicken caught in his hands seems to have predicted his end , without the slightest struggle, he fell on the ground and let him be slaughtered, as if accepting his fate.

Half of the chicken was smeared with salt, the other half was smeared with sugar water, wrapped in big leaves that can be seen everywhere outside the thatched hut, and then smeared with a layer of mud, Lu Shiyi threw it into the burning stove.

"The material is simple, so I can only try it. I hope it tastes good." After Lu Shiyi finished all this, he washed the mud off his hands with water. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Shu Mo squatting in front of the stove, his eyes full of expectation. On fire.

It seems that I am really hungry, Lu Shiyi thought, and then turned his gaze to the outside of the thatched hut. The original clear sky suddenly turned into dark clouds, and it even started to rain.

Lu Shiyi suddenly realized that even if he figured out why he appeared here, it was meaningless. In Luoshuimen, he was not taken seriously. He was a monk who beat the clock for a day, and what he was doing now was no different from what he was doing in Luoshuimen. It's just another place to ring the bell.

Maybe, he can still fulfill the unfulfilled dream in his previous life. After thinking about all this, Lu Shiyi felt relieved, and then he suddenly remembered the fat chicken that was still in the stove.

After the fire was extinguished, Lu Shiyi used a wooden stick to pull out the fatty chicken chop from the stove. The two clumps of black lacquered things successfully turned Shu Mo's expectant eyes into hesitation.

The soil on the outer layer of the fat chicken has been baked hard. Lu Shiyi picked up a wooden stick and gently cracked open the outer shell, and the aroma of food wrapped in layers floated out from the cracked crack.

Shu Mo swallowed unconsciously, and the anticipation was rekindled in his eyes.

Lu Shiyi did not find lotus leaves, so he could only choose a plant that grew outside the hut after asking Shu Mo. The wide leaves were layered on top of each other, and there was nothing special about it.But when wrapped with chicken, after simple processing, the lightness of the leaves and the richness of the chicken are perfectly neutralized, forming a unique flavor.

The chicken that was just taken out was still steaming, but Shu Mo didn't care, and easily tore off the chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

Fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood.After just one bite, Shu Mo fell in love with this taste. Lu Shiyi didn't add much seasoning, but the taste of the chicken and the leaves alone was enough to make people want to stop.

"How is it?" Lu Shiyi blew on his red fingers, and looked at Shu Mo enviously.

"Very comfortable." Shu Mo didn't say how it tasted, but replied with a full belch after eating.

Comfortable?It was the first time that Lu Shiyi received such a comment. He guessed that the other party might be very hungry, so he would feel comfortable after filling his stomach.

After feeding Shu Mo's belly, he was finally willing to condescend to answer the question Lu Shiyi asked before.It's just that Shu Mo is extremely lazy, and he will never say two words if he can finish one word. Lu Shiyi finally figured out the general idea of ​​the matter based on what he said.

Shu Mo has no father and no mother. During his travels, he happened to meet Lu Shiyi who fainted by the water, and brought him back in a moment of soft heart. As for why Lu Shiyi appeared by the water, he didn't know.

"Then do you know how to go down the mountain?" Lu Shiyi sighed, and he didn't quite believe the other party's rhetoric that he had no father and no mother. He was also an adult man in his shell, so naturally he couldn't let Shu Mo go up the mountain alone. .

Shu Mo nodded, and then asked back, "Are you going down the mountain?"

"Of course." Lu Shiyi replied: "There is nothing on this mountain, and we will starve to death sooner or later if we stay here." Shu Mo nodded in agreement, especially agreeing with Lu Shiyi's words of "starving to death".

"Come with me." Shu Mo got up, his temperament has always been to do what he said, and he was ready to go down the mountain after pulling Lu to pick up things.

"Wait!" Lu Shiyi hurriedly said, "How long will it take to go down the mountain? If it takes longer, we have to prepare." Shu Mo calculated with his fingers, and replied, "Two days."

"That means we will live in the mountains one day?" Before the other party answered, Lu Shiyi said to himself: "Then there are many things to prepare, and I don't know if there are any wild animals in the mountains."

"It's safe in the mountains." Shu Mo added to Lu Shiyi who was wandering around in the thatched cottage,

Wrap the leftover chicken with clean leaves, the dusty animal hide, the pottery bowl with a gap... Lu Shiyi is going to pack and take away everything he can see.

"Wait." Shu Mo interrupted his plan to keep packing, took out a purple purse from his bosom and said, "You don't need to bring these, you have them in Qiankun bag." Lu Shiyi's hands froze, and silently put down the already After packing half of the luggage, I was even more sure of Shu Mo's identity as the young master. It's a lie to have no father or mother.

The way down the mountain was really safe as Shu Mo said, and it could even be said to be eerily quiet. Except for all kinds of flowers and plants in full bloom, they didn't even see a living thing along the way.

The two walked slowly along the gentle mountain road.

Lu Shiyi faintly sensed that something was wrong. There were no living things in the mountain, and the road was smooth and not muddy at all. This place was not like a remote mountain with few people.

"Let's find someone to rest for the night first." Realizing that something was wrong, Lu Shiyi became more and more cautious, conscious that he was an adult in his inner self, and always involuntarily began to take care of Shu Mo, but compared to his exhaustion, Shu Mo looked like It's like coming to spring, there is no trace of sweat on the forehead, and the hem of the clothes is still neat, unlike Lu Shiyi's whole body in a mess.

They searched around but couldn't find a cave where they could rest, so they could only pick up some dry firewood and make a fire, leaning against the tree and closing their eyes to rest.

Although Lu Shiyi was an adult in mind, his body was still a child after all, and he soon fell asleep uncontrollably.Seeing this, Shu Mo, who was poking the fire with a long stick, got up, took out a blanket from the Qiankun bag and covered him for the first time.

Shu Mo, who had done all this, seemed to be very tired, his body seemed to have reached a certain limit suddenly, and he closed his eyes and fell beside Lu Shiyi.

Fragments of light were printed on Lu Shiyi's eyelids, and his eyelids trembled slightly before slowly opening. His amber pupils became paler under the sunlight.

Lu Shiyi got up cautiously, not to disturb Shu Mo who was sleeping soundly, picked up the blanket covering his body and covered Shu Mo's body.

After a while, Shu Mo also opened his eyes. He got up and patted the dust off his body, and put the blanket back into the universe bag.

It so happened that at this time, Lu Suyi, who had gone out to look for food, came back.

"I searched around, do you think these are edible?" Lu Shiyi picked some according to the appearance of the fruits in his previous life, and handed them to Shu Mo.Shu Mo picked and picked, threw some inedibles, and put the rest in front of Lu Shiyi.

The chicken he ate had already been digested. After a few mouthfuls, Shu Mo refused to move again. After a few words of persuasion from Lu Shiyi, he refused to eat any more. Find him something tasty.

The two stopped and walked, and finally saw the first town after going down the mountain.
