Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]

"This year's winter is colder than usual, and the mountains may be blocked by heavy snow."

The old man who was preaching on the stage twirled his long beard, looked at the dim light coming in through the thin window paper, and said.

Xiao Tao, who was about to fall asleep listening to Master's lectures in the audience, immediately wiped the drool from his mouth when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Then Master, will we have a snowdrift to play with by then?" ?”

It is rare for Lanfeng Mountain to snow. Xiao Tao was sent to the mountain to practice Taoism since he was a child. Now he is eleven or twelve years old and has not seen a few decent snowfalls.Every year in the twelfth lunar month, snow particles smaller than catkins float down from the sky and pile up a thin layer on the trees. It is difficult to get wet even on the ground, let alone a thick layer of snow.

In the past, my senior brother took him down the mountain to attend the preaching meeting of the priests. The people at the meeting came from all over the world, and the trail of Kunlun Mountain, which traveled thousands of miles away, told him that it snowed as big as a goose feather in winter. , It caused great difficulty for them to sweep the courtyard, but it happened to be able to have snowball fights and make snowmen.

There is only such a small Taoist temple on Lanfeng Mountain. Apart from him, his master has only him and his senior disciples. Snowball fights are impossible. After all, his senior brother is cold by nature, older than him, much stronger, and unilateral It's no fun to be beaten, but you can still make a snowman!

The master on the stage looked at the young disciples who were full of imagination, couldn't help but put on an old face, and reprimanded: "Play around, I think about playing all day long. Have you done your homework today? I asked you to copy it yesterday." Have you copied the scriptures? Has the courtyard assigned to you been swept and sprinkled today?"

These three questions in a row directly turned Xiao Tao from a sunflower in the sun to a willow branch hanging down. The expression on his face changed from excitement to wilting, pouted, looking at the old scriptures spread out in front of him. .

The master on the stage was no longer surprised by this, and only looked at his always calm and reliable first disciple: "When the lamp is on, the mountain is covered by heavy snow, do you know what to do?"

Lu Fengdeng, who was named, got up and responded: "Tomorrow, the disciple will go down the mountain to buy rice noodles and come back. The last batch of cabbage and potatoes in the backyard should be put into the cellar. I also need to buy some meat, salt and seasonings to marinate the meat." Hang it in the kitchen. It’s almost Chinese New Year, and we need to buy some firecrackers. If the weather is good these few days, the bedding should be dried as early as possible, and the disciples have to go to the back mountain to chop more firewood for emergencies.”

"The new year is approaching, and the auspicious symbols drawn in Taoist temples can also be taken out and sold. You can buy more money and buy new clothes for each person in the Taoist temple."

The master nodded, twirled his beard, looked at the disciple's face that was always calm, and praised: "As expected of the lamp, no matter what, I will always trust you."

Faced with such a compliment, Lu Fengdeng still didn't show much joy on his face, he just bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your compliment."

Xiao Tao who was sitting on the seat became more and more dissatisfied, his face was wrinkled into a ball of buns.

The master didn't care when he saw his little disciple playing a temper tantrum. Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "Then tomorrow you can go down the mountain with the auspicious amulet and come back earlier."

Lu Fengdeng said: "Yes."

Only then did Shi Shiran step off the stage, and before leaving the door, he heard his senior disciple calmly ask his younger disciple if he wanted to go down the mountain together, and then he heard the younger disciple's cheers.

The master twirled his beard, moved his ears, and went out as if he didn't hear.

The weather was fine the next day. Although there was no sun, the sky was slightly bright, and it didn't look like it was going to snow or rain.

The senior brother carried the burden on his back and took the little junior brother who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and went all the way down the mountain as early as possible.

Lanfeng Mountain is a little far from the nearest town, and it will take them a whole day to come and go, plus selling auspicious charms and shopping, and they will have dinner in the town at noon.This is also the reason why Xiaotao is so excited. Not only can he see novel things in the town, but he can also eat good food.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the aunt who usually helps cook in the Taoist temple has gone home to celebrate the new year. These few days, Xiao Tao eats meals cooked by his seniors.But senior cooking is really bad, there is no other taste except salty, and the meat is always hard to chew, and the cheeks are sore.

Xiao Tao was very excited along the way, but the senior brother remained silent.

The two walked slowly all the way, and finally reached the town.

The New Year is approaching, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the town is also very strong.The two brothers rushed to the morning market and sold the auspicious symbols usually drawn in Taoist temples at the stalls.

Both of them are dressed as Taoist priests, and the Taoist temple on Lanfeng Mountain usually has good incense, and there are naturally many people who know them in the nearby towns.In addition, the older one has a handsome appearance, dark pupils, and is very focused when looking at people, making it difficult for people to walk when they meet his gaze.And the little one is innocent and cute, lively and active, yelling hard, and the price of auspicious charms is also very cheap, there are still many people who are willing to buy a few and go back to ask for a lottery.

There is even a good old lady who is keen to be a matchmaker. She bought an auspicious talisman and refused to leave. She took Lu Fengdeng's arm and asked, "I don't know how long the Taoist school is? I heard that some Taoist sects can marry wives and have children. The girl's family background Rich and beautiful, she has met you before, and she has been to your Taoist temple many times, look..."

Even at this time, Lu Fengdeng's face remained calm.He patiently and honestly shied away: "This faction does not have many disciplines, but I have no intention of doing so..."

It was Xiao Tao who shouted for him: "My senior brother is just a piece of wood, don't make things difficult for him! Usually he doesn't even love me, so don't expect him to love girls! If any poor girl follows him , within three days, I will definitely turn around and run down the mountain crying!"

The children's words caused laughter from the surrounding adults:

"Look, this kid is so cute!"

"Cute is cute, but what do children know, I'm afraid they don't want senior brother to leave."

"I'm afraid that if the senior brother marries a daughter-in-law, he won't love him!"

"..."

In the eyes of adults, these are all children's words.How can children know the benefits of marrying a wife before they reach the age of marrying a wife?But since the younger brother has already protested, the adults are too embarrassed to continue this matter, so as not to annoy the little Taoist priest, thinking about saying more when they go to the Taoist temple on Lanfeng Mountain next time.

All the auspicious symbols were sold out in less than half a day.

Lu Fengdeng counted the silver coins in his hands, and pulled out a small part of the copper coins, then looked down at the little junior who was looking up at him with anticipation, thought for a while, and pulled out a few more coins, and then took out the rest After collecting the money, he stretched out his hand and touched the little junior brother's head, saying: "Let's go eat."

The little junior brother immediately clicked his forehead like a chicken pecking rice: "Yeah!"

The poor young priest did not take his junior brother to the restaurant in the town, but had a meal at the roast chicken stall in the market.

A plate of steaming and fragrant roast chicken is placed on a small low table beside the roast chicken stand.The surface of this roast chicken should be brushed with sugar water, the color is golden, very attractive.On the small plate next to it were shredded cucumbers, side dishes, a plate of sauce, and a large plate of layered pancakes.

Xiao Tao's eyes were straightened, and his saliva couldn't stop drooling.

Lu Fengdeng reached out and took down a chicken leg.The roast chicken was not big, but it was already roasted until soft. With a gentle tug, the chicken legs were removed and put into the plate in front of Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao immediately grabbed the oily and sweet chicken leg and bit into it.

Woohoo, it's delicious!

While chewing contentedly, he watched as the brother on the other side took the bag on the side, took out a piece of clean cloth from it, then tore off another chicken leg, stacked three layers of clean cloth on the outside, and put it back in. In the burden.

Xiao Tao said: "Brother, don't you eat chicken legs?"

Lu Fengdeng shook his head and said, "This is for Master. As compensation, I will give you the chicken breast and breast meat and the chicken wings."

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment.

He originally wanted to ask, what does the senior brother eat?Turning around, he saw Lu Fengdeng tore off two pieces of chicken wings and the front breast with chopsticks, and then put them aside one by one. He put the remaining chicken rack, chicken neck and head into the plate in front of him, saying: "Everything on the platter is yours."

When the young Taoist priest was doing these things, his expression was calm and natural, as if what he divided was not a small roast chicken, and what he put on his plate was not a pile of skin and bones, but a large piece of fresh and tender beef. of.

He picked up the flatbread next to him, spread the sauce with his chopsticks, rolled a few shredded cucumbers and some side dishes, put one on the younger brother's plate, rolled another one himself, and started eating on the chicken rack.

Xiao Tao looked at the chicken racks on his brother's plate, and then at the chicken legs, chicken breasts, breasts, and two pairs of small chicken wings on his own plate.The chicken was supposed to be a young rooster with a thin layer of meat on the wings, not to mention the chicken rack.

He felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and the chicken in his mouth suddenly didn't taste so good.

Lu Fengdeng, who was eating burritos and eating chicken, didn't know what his junior brother was thinking.He has always been slow in emotional matters, and his emotions have been indifferent all year round, let alone knowing words and expressions.When he finished eating, he found that the younger brother still had a chicken wing, so he urged: "Why don't you eat it? Let's go to the market after eating."

Xiao Tao twitched and said, "I can't eat anymore, senior brother, help me eat."

Lu Fengdeng didn't doubt that he was there, thinking that children didn't know how much they could eat, so he hurriedly stuffed the cold chicken wing into his mouth and ate it, then took his junior brother to the market together.

Xiao Tao took the hand of his senior brother and smiled quietly.

The two brothers went to the market. Lu Fengdeng first bought some rice noodles, and then took the younger brother to buy meat and seasonings.He was thinking about his cooking skills, and he already knew the seasonings he wanted to buy, but the younger brother opened his mouth to ask for this and that in the market, and asked him to buy a lot of seasonings that he had never used before.

Lu Fengdeng was a little puzzled, and said honestly, "Xiao Tao, I might not use it when I buy it back."

Xiao Tao smiled slyly: "Senior brother, you don't have to do it, I'll do it! I just lay on the side of the chicken oven and watched the uncle handle the chicken. He probably didn't chase me because I was young, so I asked him several times. Question. I know how to cook a roast chicken, brother, buy more chicken, and I’ll try it when I get back.”

Lu Fengdeng thought for a while, but he still listened to his younger brother's advice.Whether it's meat or seasoning, you always have to buy it. If the younger brother doesn't make it well, then just have enough salt in the future.

After the two of them finished shopping at the market, Lu Fengdeng was basically picking up the heavy items such as rice noodles and meat.The seasoning and the new clothes I bought were handed over to Xiao Tao, and the small burden was also handed over to the younger brother.

When they went down the mountain in the morning, the weather was still relatively clear.When I went up the mountain now, the sky was already gray and snow was falling.

Xiao Tao looked at the crystal clear snowflakes and was a little pleasantly surprised: "Brother, this snow is so beautiful, it is different from the previous snow particles!"

Lu Fengdeng glanced at the snowflakes, and said: "It looks like it's going to be a big rain, let's go back early, otherwise there will be accidents due to slippery mountain roads."

What happened next really hit the mark.

The snow fell from the fine snow at the beginning to the heavy snow of goose feathers.Xiao Tao and his senior brother tossed and tossed in the kitchen for a long time. When they came out, they saw that the courtyard pavement, which had not been wet for many years, had been covered with a thin layer of white snow.

It was as if catkins had fallen in the sky, and the air was damp and cold.Lu Fengdeng looked at the excited junior brother under the eaves, and said, "Tomorrow you can make a snowman."

Xiao Tao looked at his senior brother, nodded heavily and said, "En!"

That night, in order to save the wood used for burning the kang, the brothers once again huddled together to sleep.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, Lu Fengdeng blew out the candles, and when he was about to lie down to sleep, he suddenly heard a humming sound from outside the door.

The voice was indistinct, intermittent, weak and pitiful.

Lu Fengdeng lifted the quilt, put a coat on his body, and lit the street lamp on the table.

Xiao Tao, who was about to fall asleep on the bed, was woken up by the movement, staring dazedly at the blurred outline of his senior brother in the darkness, and mumbled vaguely: "Brother, where are you going..."

"You sleep, I'll go out and have a look." Lu Fengdeng's voice came from the darkness, calm and sober as always.

After saying that, he held the lantern and gently opened the door and walked out, then gently closed the door with his backhand.It was pitch black outside, only the lanterns brought light.Lu Fengdeng raised the lantern and looked into the courtyard, following the intermittent sound, he found a ball of white hair in the white snow.

The white puppy huddled up because of the cold, and stood next to the junction of the courtyard and the eaves.It was so cold that it was about to lose consciousness, and it felt so dazed that it was about to sleep to death in this world of ice and snow.

Then a soft light broke into its half-closed eyes.

This soft light is getting closer and closer, blurring the face of the oncoming person, making the other person shine like the light of the holy light, and saving it from the brink of death.

Wearing a snow-white inner coat and a dark blue coat, the young Taoist bent down to pick up the puppy from the snow.

The warm heat of the human body simmered the puppy, and a few strands of jet-black hair brushed over it.The hand holding it was so steady, strong, and warm that it completely forgot the fear of flying into the air.

"woohoo"

The puppy snorted a few times, the tip of its pink nose moved, remembering the smell of this person, then curled up and fell asleep in peace.

This is their first meeting. They met in the snow and met the lamp when they were desperate.

The author has something to say: When I first named it, I thought of this scene in my mind, and then used two idioms to name Dengdeng and Xiaoxue: sending charcoal in the snow, and meeting the lamp in the dark room =w=
