After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

61. go out

Maybe it's almost the Qingming Festival, and the sky was gloomy and drizzling early in the morning.Ye Huangui became lazy and sleepy when it rained, and when he heard the drizzle rustling on the tiles, he turned over and hugged Tan Duzhi's arm: "Rainy day...sleep for a while... "

Tan Duzhi looked at Ye Huangui who was sleepy and confused: "Go to sleep."

Ye Huangui responded, resting his head on Tan Duzhi's shoulder.The even breathing sounded gently in Tan Duzhi's ears. Hearing Ye Huangui's breathing, Tan Duzhi was in a great mood. If he wasn't afraid of waking Ye Huangui up, he really wanted to rub his hair and listen to him moaning. A few times.

The rain outside the window was dripping and dripping. If you open the curtains at this time, you can see the misty rapeseed field through the fence.

In rainy days, not only people are lazy, but they are also lazy in making money and making treasures. They lie sprawled in their nests, only their ears are closely watching the outside.

The industrious ducks and ducks took their little brother and auspiciousness to the fruit forest to play with water and graze early in the morning. Their joyful calls were faintly mixed with the sound of ticking rain.

Tan Duzhi has never lived such a life. In his previous life, practice was everything.As long as he can calm down, he must be practicing.He seemed to have been busy for the first half of his life, never having a moment to spare.

It's the first time to lie quietly on the bed with someone like this and listen to the rain, and it feels pretty good.Although the person has calmed down, his original soul is restless.

Tan Duzhi squinted his eyes, his spiritual consciousness penetrated into his sea of ​​consciousness.On the lotus platform of his Zifu, there is a group of small white phantoms lying lazily spread out.This group of invisible souls was part of Ye Huangui's soul, and the dull Ye Huangui didn't even realize that part of his soul had been taken away!

If you want to use some adjectives to describe this group of spirits... Tan Duzhi thought of those chicks who broke out of their shells a few days ago.Among them were two pure white chicken cubs. When they slept together, they looked like Ye Huangui's soul.

Tan Duzhi gently stretched out his divine sense to touch the divine soul, and the divine soul turned over lazily.

Ye Hugui hummed twice, and he rolled into Tan Duzhi's arms, and Tan Duzhi moved his body to make him lie more comfortably.

Ye Huangui was not being honest when he fell asleep, he stretched out his hand and touched it twice: "Qiaoqiao..." The person who fell asleep holding Qiaoqiao yesterday, did Qiaoqiao fall to the ground again?

Tan Duzhi calmly picked up the Alice on the ground and handed it to Ye Huangui: "Here."

Ye Huangui stretched out an arm to hug Qiaoqiao: "Mmm... Qiaoqiao..."

Qiaoqiao, with two small blush on her face, was smiling at Tan Duzhi with her eyes closed, and Tan Duzhi always felt that it was provocative.

After recovering, Tan Duzhi felt that he was crazy, he actually felt that a puppet was provoking him!It was terrible!

If it wasn't for thinking about the stewed meat in the pot and going to the town to feed the rabbits, Ye Huangui could at least sleep for another half an hour.He got up and stretched: "Rainy days are really suitable for sleeping in!"

Tan Duzhi smiled and said: "Yes, I used to think that cultivation is the right way, but now I feel that being able to sleep late is also a kind of happiness."

Ye Huangui deeply agreed: "Hey! Incisive!"

After the two finished washing, they went to the kitchen. When the kitchen door was opened, a strong smell of meat wafted out.The aroma was stronger than that of stewed beef. After removing the lid of the pot, pieces of braised sinew meat that was brownish red and shiny in color quietly sank in the brine.

The stove has strong thermal insulation. The two pieces of wood that were put down yesterday did not stop until midnight. In the morning, you can still feel the heat when you touch the edge of the pot.

The stewed meat was still steaming when it was taken out of the pot. Ye Huangui found a large clean wooden basin and put the tendon meat in the barrel, and poured it in together with the marinade in the pot. .

Before he had time to tidy up the stove, he took a piece of tendon meat and put it on the chopping board. After he raised the knife and dropped it, he cut off the head of the tendon meat, which was the size of a fist with tendons and flesh.

The cross-section of the sliced ​​meat is smooth, and when viewed from a certain angle, a blue-green light can be seen.This is a pattern that only fresh meat has. Seeing this pattern, Ye Huangui no longer doubts that Linghu meat is not fresh.

On the exposed section, you can see clear muscle lines. The meat dyed caramel color is dark on the outside and gray on the inside.

Ye Huangui sighed: "Wow, this pattern is so beautiful!" Not only is the pattern beautiful, but it also smells super delicious!He thinks it smells much better than his stewed pork head before!

After changing the knife slightly, he cut the meat into thick slices.

Holding the most beautifully cut piece of meat, he turned around and stuffed it into Tan Duzhi's mouth: "How about Lao Tan's taste?"

As soon as the tendon meat is in the mouth, a smell of meat explodes in the mouth.I have to say that Ye Huangui is very good at making sauces, and he is very good at using marinated ingredients.The flavors of various stewed ingredients are blended together, without any high-profile oath of existence, they are like spring drizzle, warm and lingering around the meat.

Tan Duzhi originally thought that the stewed meat that had been stewed in the middle of the night and soaked for several hours would become crispy, but after chewing the meat in his mouth, he felt that he was wrong.

The meat is soft but not rotten, the lean meat part is not dry, and the glutinous part is soft and chewy.Soft, waxy and delicious, with a strong fragrance, you will never get tired of eating it!

Tan Duzhi chewed carefully, and it took a long time before he swallowed the mouthful of meat with a grunt.Seeing his expression, Ye Huangui understood that the stewed meat was successful, and now he was pinching a piece of meat and savoring it carefully.

After eating the meat, he cut a thin plate of meat and put it on the dining table: "I thought the tiger meat would have a sour taste, but I didn't expect it to have no sour taste at all. It's delicious!"

He said happily: "This is no worse than white-cut beef. I will send Brother Yan a talisman to pick up the meat later."

For some reason, Tan Duzhi always had a strange feeling in his heart when he heard Ye Huangui mention the three words Brother Yan.However, it was inconvenient for him to say anything more, so he could only calmly say: "Okay."

Ye Huangui arranged for today's breakfast: "How about eating noodles this morning? Have stewed pork noodles with lettuce leaves and two fried eggs?"

All the noodles made by Ye Huangui are delicious, Tan Duzhi smiled and said: "Okay, you have the final say."

Ye Huangui made breakfast while arranging today's itinerary: "After breakfast, I'll mow the grass, and then how about we go to town together?"

Tan Duzhi thought for a while: "I won't go, I think Fellow Daoist Yan doesn't want to see me."

Ye Huangui was a little embarrassed: "But you are at home alone, I am a little worried."

Tan Duzhi said: "Don't worry about me, I can sleep, read and fish, and besides, you will be back soon."

Ye Huangui thought about it, and he covered the noodles with a thick layer of meat: "Okay! You stay at home, and Jixiang and I go and come back quickly. There is nothing special today, just send The meat is delivered!"

After breakfast, Ye Huan went back to cut a basket of grass.He prepared two baskets, and in the other basket was marinated tiger tendon.Ye Huangui placed two panniers on either side of Jixiang's waist, and he sat in front of the panties and held the reins.

Ye Hugui touched Jixiang's neck: "Be good, Jixiang, can you run a little slower today? You don't want to be fast, just be steady."

Jixiang ran wildly, but Ye Hugui really couldn't bear it.Thinking about it now, he still feels strange, who gave him the courage to jump on the back of Ji Xiang who was going crazy?

Nine Clouds City is a magical place, which gave him an illusion that as long as he dared to do it, he could succeed.As far as his three-legged cat kung fu was concerned, he was not knocked down by Ji Xiang and stepped on two feet at that time. It was really smoke from the Ye family's ancestral grave.

Jixiang turned his head to look at Ye Huangui, it barked softly and then pattered forward with four hooves.Ye Huangui firmly grasped the rein,

He said to Tan Duzhi at home: "The home is in your hands, I'll be back in a while!"

Tan Duzhi waved his hand: "Okay, be careful."

The backs of one person and one mule quickly disappeared on the trail. Tan Duzhi's consciousness kept staring at them until he saw Ye Huangui on the main road outside the col.

For some reason, he felt empty in his heart.

The spring rain is gentle and gentle. Although it looks small, the clothes will get wet after staying outside for a while.

With the Qingmu Jue lying across Tan Duzhi's lap, he was thinking wildly. : Can that heavy coir raincoat really block the rain?

Will Jixiang run too crazy and throw Ye Huangui off?

After much deliberation, he began to get upset.In order to calm himself down, he released his consciousness and walked around the mountain.

In the woods beside the stream, ducks and ducks are combing their feathers.In the fields of rapeseed flowers, roosters and chickens are looking for earthworms crawling out of the soil to eat.

Under the nourishment of the spring rain, the crops planted by Ye Huangui are growing rapidly, and you can hear the sound of their joints when you calm down.

The buds that had swelled on the fence a few days ago have opened, and the pink flowers are layered in clusters. The spring rain wets the petals, and the buds bow their heads heavily.

In the fenced yard, the vegetables in the vegetable field stretch out their branches and leaves to welcome the moisture of rain and dew.In the small shed next to the vegetable field, two old hens were leading a group of chicks.

All this is quiet and peaceful, like a scroll in a dream, so beautiful yet so unreal.

Tan Duzhi's heart calmed down, and the emotions that followed overwhelmed him again.Since returning to Pearl Bay with Ye Huan, his emotions have fluctuated greatly.

Tan Duzhi once again thought of Master Qinghe, wondering what kind of dream Fuzhou had made for him, so that a man with a firm heart could get lost in the illusion.At this time, is he a bystander or a player in the game?

"Ow—"

Jin Bao suddenly called out, and Tan Duzhi looked down, only to see this three-colored cat like a little leopard squatting in front of him and looking up at him.

Tan Duzhi said warmly, "What's wrong?"

Jin Bao stretched out his paw tentatively to Tan Duzhi, and it pressed Tan Duzhi's knee, while his two big eyes were still staring at Tan Duzhi.Just when Tan Duzhi didn't know what it was going to do, Jin Bao jumped onto Tan Duzhi's legs.

Its figure was so huge that it spun around on Lao Tan's lap a few times, and then curled up in a circle and got down on the ground.

Tan Duzhi understood that the cry before was just a signal from Jinbao to himself—it was about to climb its legs, sit still!

62. Wait

Tan Duzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he reached out and touched the back of Jin Baoda's head.The cat's fur is soft, Jinbao just took a bath last night, and every hair is fluffy and light.The smell of mint came slowly, and it smelled very comfortable.

The heavy big cat is nestled on the lap, hot and fluffy, which has a special sense of presence.Tan Duzhi quickly recovered from the entanglement and concentrated on stroking the cat.

Jin Bao snored comfortably, causing Zhao Cai who was next to him to stick his big head over.

Zhaocai's body is too huge, if it wants to jump up and ask for a hug, Old Tan will definitely be overturned by him.Fortunately, Zhaocai is a smart dog who knows what to do and what not to do.It put its big head on Tan Duzhi's left hand, and the intention was already obvious.

Tan Duzhi smiled, and he stretched out his hand to touch Zhaocai's head: "Why are you as clingy as your master?"

As soon as the words fell, he was stunned.Is Ye Huangui clingy?Naturally, he is clingy, he is clingy to Fubo, he can lie on Fubo's shoulder and act like a baby; clingy to Yan Jun, he can quarrel with Yan Jun who is blushing and thick-necked.

But he doesn't cling to himself, he is always warm, polite and polite to himself when he is awake, and only when he is asleep will he wrap around him unconsciously.

He... Only he doesn't act like a baby to himself, and he doesn't quarrel with himself.

Tan Duzhi's action of stroking the cat stopped, and he didn't know why, and felt sore in his heart.

Jin Bao opened his eyes and gave Tan Duzhi a "don't stop" look. He felt that if Tan Duzhi was slower, he would have slapped him.

Tan Duzhi shook off the strangeness in his heart, and continued to pet cats and dogs in a leisurely manner.

Isn't it a good thing for Ye Huangui to be polite to him?Isn't this what he's been looking forward to?But why do you feel empty and uncomfortable?

He only has one hand, and he can't touch Zhaocai when he touches Jinbao, and Zhaocai is walking around in a hurry.

Tan Duzhi laughed and said, "Why don't you accompany your master to the town today?"

Zhaocai: "Hey..." It also wants to go, but the owner said that it just took a bath yesterday, so it won't let it go out today.

Luckily wronged!

It's not that Tan Duzhi has never encountered a clingy spirit beast. His second junior brother Shao Mingche has raised a clever and clingy spirit fox.The fox spirit is cute and cute. Whenever it sees a fellow disciple, it will stick to it and beg for food.

Only when he saw Tan Du, Linghu rolled his tail between his legs.Even if he had something delicious in his hand, Linghu refused to take a step closer to him, and was too scared to walk when he saw it.

Mingche often complained. He said that he was surrounded by sword spirit, and no little animal would like a person with sword spirit.

Seeing Jin Bao lying on his lap and Zhao Cai standing next to him, Tan Duzhi suddenly remembered Ming Che's words.Could it be that his sword energy was hidden so well that these two little animals didn't feel any danger before they got close to him?

Thinking of this, a little sword energy appeared between Tan Duzhi's fingers.As soon as the sword energy was released, the hairs on the two small animals trembled and then stood up in unison. Suddenly, a cat and a dog exploded into two huge dandelions.

Zhaocai made a sound of 'Wow', and Jinbao even jumped off Tan Duzhi's lap with a whoosh.They tilted their heads and stared at their fur in surprise, not understanding what happened.

When Tan Duzhi released a small sword energy again, the little two realized that it was Tan Duzhi who made their fur explode.They circled around Tan Duzhi, as if Tan Duzhi was going to continue to unleash his sword energy, and they were ready to attack him.

Tan Duzhi sighed regretfully, it seemed that Ming Che was right.

He withdrew his sword energy. It seemed that if he wanted to get along well with the little animals, he had to restrain his spiritual energy.

Who knew that Tan Duzhi had just withdrawn his aura, so he quit recruiting wealth and treasures.Jin Bao jumped onto Tan Duzhi's thigh and grabbed his left hand.And Zhaocai also arched his left hand: "嘤嘤嘤~"

Tan Duzhi was puzzled, what does this mean?Do they still want to feel their sword intent again?

Thinking of this, sword energy appeared on his fingertips again, and Zhaocai Jinbao's hair exploded again.Zhaocai, with his fur that exploded, squinted his eyes and stuck out his tongue, looking very happy.Jin Bao stretched directly on Tan Duzhi's thigh, looking very satisfied.

Even if Tan Duzhi's sword energy gradually strengthened, they did not evade.Instead of attacking Tan Duzhi, they were looking forward to and enjoying the gradually increasing sword energy.

As long as Tan Duzhi withdrew his sword energy, they would be unhappy.

Tan Duzhi laughed: "Look, Mingche, not all the little animals are afraid of me."

Ye Huan's little animals are not afraid of him!

Tan Duzhi said: "Things are like the owner. The animals he raises are naturally like him."

The rain outside the house was getting heavier, Tan Duzhi withdrew his sword energy and touched Zhaocai Jinbao's head: "Okay, let's stop playing."

Tan Duzhi looked at the beautiful scenery outside the house like a scroll, and he said to himself: "Should we be in town?"

He regretted it a little. If he had known about it, he would have gone to town with Ye Huangui.It turned out that the waiting time was so long.

Ye Huangui had only walked for a few sticks of incense, and Tan Duzhi felt that the house was empty.He looked at the raindrops hanging from the eaves of the porch, feeling melancholy: "Why does time pass so slowly?"

Usually when I'm with Ye Huangui, the whole day feels like opening and closing my eyes.Why did the time pass so long without seeing Ye Huangui?

Thinking of Tan Duzhi at home, Ye Huangui only took an hour to come back.Jixiang ran very steadily today, and Ye Huangui was completely able to control it.

After entering the fenced yard, Ye Huangui saw Tan Duzhi at the door at a glance.His heart softened into a ball, look!This is his dream scene!

No matter how long he goes out and when he comes home, there will always be someone waiting for him at home!

Ye Huangui's eyes were slightly sore, he showed a big smile and got off the mule cart: "I'm back!"

The light in Tan Duzhi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he smiled: "I'm back."

For the first time, Tan Duzhi felt sincerely happy for a person's return.Even if Ye Huangui only went to the town to deliver a dish, it only took an hour before and after.

After taking off the coir raincoat, Ye Huangui's hair was soaked.

He wiped the water from his hair and said cheerfully: "Uncle Fu ate marinated tiger meat. He said it tasted very good, and someone would buy it for eighty yuan a catty! He said he asked me to marinate the tiger meat and put it in the shop for consignment. I think it’s very good! If it can be sold, it can be sold for a lot of silver taels!”

Tan Duzhi was concerned about another question: "Didn't you say you gave tiger meat to Fellow Daoist Yan? Have you seen him?"

Ye Huangui had a bitter face when he heard the words: "Don't mention it, I sent him a talisman, and he chopped it off if he disagreed. Fu Bo said he would bring him the tiger meat...Brother Yan must be angry this time." Cruel."

It hurts to waste his communication talisman!

Tan Duzhi lowered his eyes, and Ye Huangui thought he was feeling uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said: "Don't take it to heart, Old Tan! Brother Yan is often angry with me. Once he ignored me for half a month. Get used to it!"

Tan Duzhi responded, "En."

Ye Huangui chuckled: "Speaking of which, I bought another lucky bag today!"

Tan Duzhi raised his head slightly: "Are the spirit beasts from the Beast Sect fighting again?"

Ye Huan turned his head and shook his head like a rattle: "No, the fighting spirit tiger has been dealt with. This time it is a normal lucky bag. Fu Bo said that there are many leftover prey of spirit beasts in it."

After a pause, he said, "I originally thought about saving the tiger meat for the two of us to eat, but I'd get tired of eating just tiger meat."

Tan Duzhi looked at Ye Huangui with a smile that was not a smile, why did he think that Ye Huangui wanted to marinate all the tiger meat and sell it for money, because he didn't have enough meat at home, so he made such a bad move?

If it wasn't for him, Ye Huangui wouldn't have to be so careful.He nodded in agreement: "Well, what you said makes sense!"

The rain was lingering and pattering, and the petals of the rapeseed were drenched all over the ground. When the ducks and ducks came back from the ground, their feathers were covered with fine golden petals.

From time to time, conversations and laughter can be heard from the huts in the depths of the mountain, and the smoke rising from the roof is so conspicuous in the hazy rain and fog.

In the next few days, Ye Huangui's schedule became very regular.Every night, he took out part of the tiger meat and stewed it, one pot at a time, and kept it for himself the next day, and took the rest with the rabbit grass to the town for Uncle Fu.

The taste of spirit tiger meat is very good. Uncle Fu sells tendon meat for [-] yuan a catty, and other meat for [-] yuan a catty.In this way, even ordinary people are willing to buy some and go back to try something new.

Moreover, spirit tigers are rich in aura. Many people reported that they became stronger after eating spirit tiger meat. The supply of spirit tiger meat is in short supply these days.

Ye Huangui didn't braise more because of this, he paid more attention to quality than quantity.If the tiger meat is not stewed well due to the rush of quantity, the loss outweighs the gain.

He didn't care how much he sold, for the tiger meat sale was always helped by Uncle Fu.The spirit tiger was given to him by Uncle Fu. If he didn't even trust Uncle Fu, there would be no one in the world who he could trust.

After delivering the tiger meat in the morning, he will go home on time to make lunch.After lunch, he will go for a walk in the field to see his crops and small animals, and then he will take a nap when he comes back.

After waking up from his nap, he was busy making dinner and marinating new tiger meat again.Under his marinade, the spirit tiger meat is decreasing day by day, and the bulging storage bag can finally take a breather.

Ye Huangui brings good news every day: "Uncle Fu picked up the legs of two rabbits yesterday, and he is picking up the legs faster and faster now."

"There is news about Phoenix feet today. A casual cultivator came from the west. He has a lot of Phoenix feet. Uncle Fu is negotiating the price with him. If things go well, we will be able to buy enough Phoenix feet in a few days."

Whenever he heard Ye Huangui say these things, the smile on his face and the light in his eyes would be extremely dazzling.

Seeing Ye Huangui's smile, even though Tan Duzhi's heart was turning a thousand times, he would suppress all his emotions and look at Ye Huangui more.

He found that Ye Huangui had a magical power. Whenever he was thinking wildly, as long as he saw Ye Huangui, he would feel at ease.

Ye Huangui is actually not bad looking, the more he looks the better.

Why didn't he find out before?
