step on mountains and rivers

After Lu Qing finished speaking, he put the emerald jade into his clothes.Jiang Ling looked at him and said:

"I've finished the fish, let's cook the fish soup."

"Yes." Lu Qing replied.

After talking, the two walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the kitchen.

In the small courtyard in Wudang Mountain, Chu Linglong and Li Zhenwu were preparing meals in the kitchen. Seeing Li Zhenwu skillfully operating everything in the kitchen, she couldn't help being a little surprised. Brother Zhenwu looked so unearthly, but he didn't expect his cooking skills to be so superb .

Chu Linglong is Chu Xiaohe's only daughter, and she has been loved since she was a child. What she refers to as superb cooking skills is relative to her.In fact, Li Zhenwu can only cook porridge and stir-fry vegetables, and she saw the end, and found that Li Zhenwu's finished product was only porridge and vegetables, and by the way, there were also the clear wine glutinous rice balls.

Chu Linglong smiled to hide the embarrassment in her heart, and thought to herself: "It seems that no one is perfect."But it's okay, I can learn. '

Thinking of her, he walked to Li Zhenwu's side, took the clay pot in his hand and said:

"Brother Zhenwu, I'll take it out for you."

"Okay, thank you." Li Zhenwu replied, and then went to get the wine glutinous rice balls and green vegetables.

The two walked out with the food and put it on the table.Chu Linglong lifted the pottery cover, and the fragrance of vegetables mixed with the sweetness of rice rushed towards her face, arousing her appetite.

She filled a bowl for the two elders, and another bowl for Li Zhenwu, and finally filled the porridge and put it in the bowl.Looking at the clear porridge in the bowl, she hesitated slightly, "Would such bland porridge be delicious?"It doesn't matter, since it's made by Brother Zhenwu, it's delicious if it's not delicious. '

After thinking about it, she picked up the bowl, took a sip with a spoon, and the clear porridge tasted extremely salty.The faint fragrance, like the fresh breath in the ancient forest, slowly diffuses into the body, calming the restless heart.

This porridge, just like Li Zhenwu, is gentle and tranquil, fresh and elegant, but it hits the depths directly and heals the soul.

Chu Linglong looked at the clear porridge in the bowl, and was stunned for a moment, then picked up the porridge bowl and drank it slowly.

"I didn't expect clear porridge to be so delicious. Brother Zhenwu is really amazing." Chu Linglong said.

"Miss Chu has won the prize." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Well, it's really delicious." Chu Xiaohe said.

"Thank you, Master Chu, for your praise." Li Zhenwu replied.

Seeing the father and daughter of the Chu family praising Li Zhenwu, Li Chengfeng smiled lightly.He took a sip of the fermented rice balls in front of him and said:

"Zhenwu, this meatball is not bad, it seems to be the taste of the Tang family."

"Well, brother Tang taught it." Li Zhenwu said.

"Oh, that's how it is." Li Chengfeng said. "How is your business going?"

"Everything is going well." Li Zhenwu replied.

"That's good, pay more attention to your body when you go out," Li Chengfeng said.

"Okay." Li Zhenwu replied.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chu Linglong saw that they were talking about Tang Qingfeng, and asked in puzzlement:

"Brother Zhenwu, who is Brother Tang?"

"Linglong, you are becoming less and less polite." Chu Xiaohe scolded.

Listening to Chu Xiaohe's reprimand, Chu Linglong realized that she was talking too much, so she obediently shut her mouth.

Li Chengfeng looked at the silent Chu Linglong, and then said to Chu Xiaohe:

"Brother Chu, it's okay. It's normal for children to be curious. I'm planning to tell you about this."

"Oh? Brother Li, please tell me." Chu Xiaohe said.

Li Chengfeng nodded, and then said to Li Zhenwu:

"Zhenwu, this matter is up to you."

"Okay." Li Zhenwu returned, and then gave a brief description of the affairs of the Four Sacred Palaces and told Yu Chu Xiaohe and Chu Linglong. Of course, he concealed the matter of his feelings.

"So that's it. It seems that the Four Sacred Palaces are really a big trouble. I'll ask Taihua disciples to pay more attention to their actions. If there is any news, I will send a letter to inform you." Chu Xiaohe said.

"Okay, thank you, Master Chu." Li Zhenwu said.

"Nephew Zhenwu, you don't have to be polite. It's a righteous thing to eliminate harm for the people. I'm just doing my best." Chu Xiaohe said.

Li Zhenwu nodded.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chu Linglong thought about the adventures Li Zhenwu said, so she said to Chu Xiaohe:

"Father, I want to act together with Senior Brother Zhenwu to eradicate the scourge of Sisheng Palace."

Seeing what his daughter said, Chu Xiaohe immediately stopped him:

"Linglong, don't mess around. The matter in the Four Sacred Palaces is extremely dangerous. Your force is too weak. If you go there, you will only cause trouble for the nephew Zhenwu and the others."

After hearing what Chu Xiaohe said, Chu Linglong fell silent. She looked at Li Zhenwu and thought for a while, then said:

"Okay, then I can help Senior Brother Zhenwu find out the news."

"Yes, but you have to act together with your brothers and sisters." Chu Xiaohe said.

"Yes, I know." Chu Linglong replied.

After Chu Linglong finished speaking, Li Zhenwu said to the two:

"Thank you, Master Chu and Miss Chu."

Chu Xiaohe nodded in response.

"Brother Zhenwu, you are welcome." Chu Linglong smiled.

At Immortal Medicine Valley, Lu Qing and Jiang Ling sat at the table drinking fish soup, Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing and said:

"Lu Qing, let's go back to the Beggars' Gang tomorrow."

"Yes." Lu Qing replied.

"Okay." Jiang Ling said as he took a sip of the flower wine on the table. The flower wine was fragrant and elegant, sweet in the mouth, and very delicious.

"Good wine!" Jiang Ling said, "Lu Qing, what kind of wine is this?"

"Dongxue." Lu Qing said.

"Dongxue? Why haven't I heard of it?" Jiang Ling asked.

"I brewed this last winter, using the water from the first snow and winter plums. I buried it under the plum tree. I planned to drink it in the coming year, but was delayed by many things. I didn't make it until today. Get out." Lu Qing said.

"Oh, that's right. But it just happened to be waiting for me." Jiang Ling said.

"Yes." Lu Qing replied.

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing and said seriously:

"Lu Qing, it has been waiting for a long time, and you have also been waiting for a long time. From now on, you don't have to wait any longer."

Lu Qing listened to Jiang Ling's words, looked at him, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Yeah." Jiang Ling returned, and then said: "Is there any more wine?"

"Yes, do you want more?" Lu Qing asked.

"Yes, I want them all." Jiang Ling said: "Lu Qing, we will rarely come back to the Immortal Medicine Valley in the future. See what is commonly used, and move to the Beggars' Gang together."

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, Lu Qing stared at him stunned for a moment, then said:

"okay."

Tang Qingfeng went up by boat, and when it was getting dark, he returned to Tangmen.

At the mountain gate ferry, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan had already stood with lanterns, waiting for his return.

Tang Qingfeng got off the boat and went ashore, and Tuanyuanyuan walked towards him.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng approaching, Tuantuan looked behind him and said doubtfully:

"Young Master, where is the Daoist?"

After listening to Tuantuan's words, Tang Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"The Taoist priest has returned to Wudang."

"Huh? Back to Wudang? Did you quarrel?" Tuantuan asked.

"No, why does Tuantuan have such doubts?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Why didn't the Taoist priest go back to Tangmen with you, young master, did you make the Taoist priest angry?" Tuantuan asked.

"No, what does the quarrel have to do with returning to the Tang Sect?" Tang Qingfeng said.

"In the past, the Taoist leader always came back with you, young master, you came back this time, but he didn't follow you. Isn't this a quarrel?" Tuantuan said.

After listening to Tuantuan's explanation, Tang Qingfeng smiled and said:

"Tuantuan, the Taoist priest is returning to Wudang to spend the New Year with Master. We didn't quarrel."

"Really?" Tuantuan asked.

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Then why didn't he accompany you for the New Year?" Tuantuan said.

Tuantuan's words stopped Tang Qingfeng, he thought for a moment and said:

"Tuantuan, Master is like a father to Zhenwu, he is the most important person to him. He hasn't seen Master for a long time, and it is only natural for him to go back to accompany Master."

"Oh." Tuantuan nodded, and then asked, "Young master, aren't you important?"

"Me, we are just friends." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Are friends less important than Master?" Tuantuan asked.

Tang Qingfeng looked at her, but did not answer.

Seeing that Tang Qingfeng didn't answer, Yuanyuan opened her mouth and said:

"Tuantuan, you've gone too far. The young master has his own plans for the matter, so how can you ask."

After listening to Yuanyuan's words, Tuantuan looked at Tang Qingfeng, and then obediently closed his mouth.

Seeing that Tuantuan shut up, Yuanyuan looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Young Master, Yuanyuan doesn't know Daoist Li's thoughts. But to Yuanyuan, if you ask me who is more important, Young Master or Tuantuan, Yuanyuan's answer is: both are equally important.

Tuantuan is my own sister, and the young master is our savior. I can sacrifice my life for Tuantuan, and I can die for the young master.

Young master, Yuanyuan can still do this for the young master. Li Daochang and you have gone through hardships, how can his friendship be shallower than Yuanyuan's. "

After hearing Yuanyuan's words, Tang Qingfeng looked at her, then nodded and said:

"Yuanyuan is right, I was paranoid, thank you."

"Young master, you don't need to be polite. Yuanyuan just said what's on her mind. It would be a great honor for Yuanyuan if she could help the young master." Yuanyuan said.

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go back."

"Yes, young master." The two replied, and then followed Tang Qingfeng back to Tangmen.

Tang Qingfeng left the house to put down his luggage, poured a cup of hot tea and gently handed it to his side, but no one came to pick it up.He stared blankly at the empty chair beside him, slowly retracted his hand, and said softly:

"Yes, Zhenwu is back."

As he spoke, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. At this moment, Tang Xiaolong walked in from the courtyard with Wu Rumeng.

The two came to ask Tang Qingfeng for something. Tang Xiaolong saw that Tang Qingfeng was deep in thought, so he said:

"Breeze."

"Father, mother." Tang Qingfeng saw the two coming, so he got up and went out to say hello.

"Well, Qingfeng, we have something to look for you." Tang Xiaolong said.

"Father, please tell me." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Go in and talk." Tang Xiaolong said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng replied.The three entered the house and sat down.

Tang Xiaolong looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Qingfeng, I'm sorry, your mother and I may go to southern Yunnan."

"Going to southern Yunnan?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Qingfeng, what happened is this. Your aunt wrote a letter today, she said that grandma missed me very much and wanted me to go back to accompany her for the New Year. Your father agreed to go with me when he saw that I hadn't returned for many years." Wu Rumeng explained .

"Well, Qingfeng already knows. Father, mother, you can rest assured." Tang Qingfeng said.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Wu Rumeng looked at him and hesitated to speak:

"Qingfeng, it's not as good as you..."

Before Wu Rumeng finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng interrupted:

"Mother, grandma doesn't like me, I will only annoy her if I go."

"Qingfeng, grandma is not...... She just pities me." Wu Rumeng said with sadness in her eyes.

"Like a dream." Seeing her like this, Tang Xiaolong comforted her.

"I'm fine." Wu Rumeng looked at Tang Qingfeng after returning, calmed down and said:

"Qingfeng, these years, we have always had misunderstandings. Although you didn't resent me for what happened back then, I have always felt uneasy.

My body was infected by poison, which made it impossible for me to have children. For so many years, your father has never left me.I am very grateful to him.

Your grandmother tried her best to prevent your father from adopting you, and she did not hesitate to provoke Tang's elders to threaten your father.But your father didn't give in to them, so she had a big fight with your father, and never came to Tangmen again.And we rarely go back.

The reason why your grandmother did this was not because she disliked you, but because she saw that I would not be able to have children, and she was afraid that I would be wronged in the future.Qingfeng, she has always been a strong person, that's why she treats you like this, please forgive her.

Xiaoxue is your mother and Xiaolong's younger sister, you are her son, we will definitely protect you.

I have always regarded you as my own son for so many years, but I have never raised a child, but I don't know how to treat you.

Back then, I was afraid of my mother being sad, I was also afraid of Xiaolong being sad, and I was even more afraid of you being sad.I was afraid that you would get hurt, so I didn't do anything, which led to the current situation.

I'm sorry for your father, and I'm even more sorry for you. This time when we go back, we want to settle this matter, hoping to make up for my fault. "

After Wu Rumeng finished speaking, he looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Qingfeng, I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a mother for so many years, can you forgive me?"
