Although Shao Yong is still very curious about the things in the town, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds are rolling in with thunder and lightning. It will rain heavily soon. He and Zhong Li have to find a place to stay and wait for the rain to fall. When you're done, go check out the news.

When Zhong Li faced outsiders, although he could not be said to be amiable, he was still gentle and polite, and his gestures and gestures carried the demeanor brought up by a wealthy family.

No one in the village has ever seen such a graceful figure, as handsome and flawless as walking out of a painting.In the end, Zhong Li rented an independent room in the backyard of a family with good conditions, with his own small kitchen, based on his face and temperament.

The room is not spacious, the bed takes up most of the room.However, it is airy and airy, there is no strange smell, and the bedding is half new.

Although there were a few small holes in the window paper, Zhong Li personally pasted a new layer of paper, and pasted it before it rained, so that it would not leak in when it rained.

The simple and warm small room is the most comfortable place Shao Yong has lived in for the past three months.

Lying on the bed with his head up, Shao Yong couldn't help stretching comfortably: "Well... tomorrow will be a good weather... I'm hungry."

"I'm afraid it will be cloudy tomorrow, and it may be even colder." Zhong Li said: "In a while, if you go north, you will still encounter snow."

Shao Yong wailed, hugged the quilt and said, "I'm most afraid of the cold..."

"Then let's stay here and leave after winter." Zhong Li said.

"No!" Shao Yong is still clear about the current situation: "Feng Shaoyue's people will find us!"

Zhong Li pulled the quilt off his body: "It's good that you know. Don't fall asleep, get up, and the host will deliver food later, eat before going to bed."

"Hmm..." Shao Yong sat up, a wisp of chilly wind leaked through the open window, and it just blew on Shao Yong's face, and he was so cold that he rubbed his face quickly: "It's very cold now , do we have enough clothes?"

"It's not enough to go further north. I have to go to the bank in the town to get some more silver taels."

"Is your money still enough, young master?"

Zhong Li thought for a while and said, "It's not a problem to feed and clothe you for the rest of your life."

Shao Yong said: "I consume a lot of snacks..."

Zhong Li: "I know, I counted five times the food cost of ordinary people."

"Five times is too scary!" Shao Yong said frantically, "Three times is a lot, and I'm not a real pig!"

Zhong Li took it for granted: "Even if your appetite is five times that of ordinary people, I can afford you."

Shao Yong shouted: "It's not this problem that I'm struggling with, but that I really don't eat that much! Look, I'm not fat at all!"

"Oh?" Zhong Li reached out and pinched Shao Yong's soft stomach: "Not fat?"

"I just don't have muscles!"

"Ah."

"What's with that disbelieving expression on your face!"

Zhong Li went to thank the hostess who brought the food, closed the door and came back with the food box, and put the food box on the table: "Pig, there are cucumber fried pork slices and shredded potatoes, and they also sent a bowl of tofu nao for you."

"Really?" Shao Yong immediately sat on the left, watching Zhong Li take out the dinner plate by plate, his stomach growled, "I'm so hungry..." He said and consciously set the table and chopsticks , Served the meal for the two of them, and started eating with chopsticks.

As for the topic that he had talked with Zhong Li before, he had selectively forgotten it, even more thoroughly than [God Drunk Dream Fan].

The farm meal is different from the meal made in the inn. Although there are not so many seasonings and decorations, it is sweet and delicious. The ingredients are very fresh and restore the original taste of the food.

Shao Yong was really hungry, a bowl full of rice, Zhong Li ate two bowls, and the rest fell into Shao Yong's stomach, even the tofu brain was not let go after the meal.

The corners of Zhong Li's lips curled up, and after he finished eating, he kept admiring Shao Yong's gobbling.

Heh, heh, heh... After removing the tofu brain, Shao Yong let out a long breath, touched his round belly, and burped in satisfaction.

"Are you full?" Zhong Li asked with a smile.

"Well, full."

"Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Zhong Li asked: "Let them deliver meals tomorrow, or use the small kitchen?"

Shao Yong thought for a moment and said: "Do it yourself, it's not good to bother others all the time, and you are almost out of money, and now you can't enter the town, it's better to be frugal."

Zhong Li agreed: "Okay, we can buy some vegetables from this family... But, do you know how to cook?"

"Yes." Seeing Zhong Li looking at him suspiciously again, Shao Yong remembered that they never had to do it themselves to solve the problem of food and clothing on the road these days, and during the time in the valley, everything was There is really no place to show off your cooking skills when you bake and eat.Shao Yong vowed: "When I'm at home, I always cook by myself. Although the taste is relatively popular, it's still edible! Believe me!"

Zhong Li said: "I really don't know how to do it, so I don't have to force myself. I don't want to be poisoned after eating an ordinary meal. There isn't even a pharmacy around here."

"You started to dislike me before you tasted it!" Shao Yong complained.

"It's not that I dislike you." Zhong Li corrected, "It's that I am in awe of your hands that prepare poison, and it's a bit condescending to use them in cooking."

"Sounds like a good word..."

"It's really a good word." Zhong Li answered him solemnly.

The next day was indeed as Zhong Li said, with gusts of cold wind and bone-chilling cold.Shao Yong huddled under the blanket, his eyes were sleepy, his limbs were like an octopus grabbing Zhong Li, and he yawned.

Zhong Li had woken up a long time ago, but he remained motionless, allowing Shao Yong to rub on his body attached to him before he woke up, even though at this moment in Shao Yong's eyes he was just a stove or a pillow.

Shao Yong opened his eyes, his eyes were still foggy when he just woke up. After he got used to it, he saw the handsome face very close: "...Good morning."

Anyway, it has been like this for almost half a year, and Shao Yong has to get used to it.

Besides, it was clear that he had somehow entangled Zhong Li after he fell asleep, and if he met someone who didn't like to have physical contact with others, he would probably have punished Shao Yong severely.

Speaking of it, I still feel a little bit unreasonable...

Zhong Li hooked the corners of her lower lips, stretched her long legs and pinched Shao Yong's legs between her own, and then pressed Shao Yong's head into her arms: "Sleep a little longer, and I will call you when the time comes. "

"Oh well……"

Shao Yong obediently closed his eyes again.After a quarter of an hour or two, Shao Yong opened his eyes again and said, "Is it agreed today to sneak into the town to find out the news? Maybe it will rain again if it's too late!"

Zhong Li said helplessly: "If you want to go, I will go, your martial arts are too poor, I hope you can have a meal when you come back."

Shao Yong pushed him: "Then why don't you go?"

Zhong Li: "I'm leaving, who will help you warm the bed?"

"Then you can go later..." Shao Yong rubbed unconsciously and fell asleep again.

It wasn't until the sun was three poles that the two of them got up slowly.Shao Yong slowly fetched water to wash his face and put on his clothes, while Zhong Li wore a light and delicately embroidered martial robe, and set out on the road in a style completely different from that of a rural farmhouse.

The village hostess with dim eyes came over with a three-year-old milk baby in her arms, and said with a local accent: "Ma'am, your man is so handsome!"

Shao Yong almost knocked over the water in his hand, and stammered after holding it in for a long time: "That... I'm a man."

"I know." The hostess looked at him with a look of "I understand you": "When you go out, the woman disguises herself as a man!"

"No...that's not the case..." Shao Yong has lived for 23 years, and what he lacks the most is the experience of communicating with women. Even though he used to be a small writer, he boasted that his writing and eloquence were not bad, but at this moment he was anxious to explain , it is often even more difficult to explain: "Besides, he is not my man..."

The hostess' eyes widened, and she leaned over and whispered, "Are you eloping?"

"No! It's not like this!" Shao Yong's face was flushed, and he was really anxious that he was sweating profusely. It was not enough to say it, and he gestured harder with his hands.

However, the hostess couldn't understand it at all, so she just smiled and said, "Why are you so shy when you're married, I hope you guys will have a baby soon!"

Shao Yong was stunned for two seconds, watching the hostess carry the child into the house again, feeling like tens of thousands of mud horses galloping past in his heart.

Ahhh, don't go and listen to my explanation——

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the hostess. Shao Yong has a handsome appearance, fair and smooth skin, and a little childishness. The average male is 23 or [-] years old, and few people have a pair of watery eyes like him.

Coupled with the fact that there are rough men in the countryside, and Zhong Li is beside him as a reference, it's hard for the hostess not to misunderstand.

And once it is misunderstood, it will be misunderstood to the end.

Hearing that Shao Yong was going to buy some vegetables and meat and cook by himself, the hostess enthusiastically provided him with the dry firewood stored at home, and was worried that he was a lady of a family who did not touch the spring water, so she carefully told him the steps of cooking and steaming rice.

Those steps were so detailed that even Zhong Li could listen to them. Shao Yong couldn't laugh or cry. Finally, he sincerely thanked the other party for the dry firewood and chopping knives he had kindly sponsored, and hid in the small kitchen to start tinkering.

Lighting a fire is not difficult for Shao Yong, the difficulty is how to control the temperature of the fire.

For the first time, with the mood of experimenting, Shao Yong made boiled cabbage, but the fire underneath was too hot, and the water in the pot evaporated in a short while, and the boiled vegetables turned into dry boiled vegetables, soft and rotten The cabbage stuck to the bottom of the pot and became a mess.

The second time Shao Yong made a medium fire, the experimental product was still the cheapest cabbage, this time it was still boiled.As a result, it took a long time, the firewood burned quickly, and by the time a dish was ready, nearly half of the firewood brought by Shao Yong from the firewood room had been tossed away.

"I've never missed the gas stove at home so much..." Shao Yong wiped off the sweat on his face, and devoted himself to the precise research of controlling the heat as if he was constipated.

In the evening, Zhong Li came back.

As soon as he approached the backyard of the house, a puff of smoke hit his face, Zhong Li was startled, and hurried to the small kitchen: "Shao Yong!"

"Huh?" Shao Yong opened the door, poked his head out and said, "Are you back?"

Zhong Li glanced at the slightly messy kitchen, then at Shao Yong, and walked over: "I thought you burned the kitchen down."

"How is it possible! Don't look at the rudimentary kitchen, it's actually very strong..." Shao Yong said, "I just forgot what to do when I wanted to turn off the fire, and just poured a pot of water on it..."

"Should we extinguish it with sand?"

"Yes, I just remembered it later, and I have already apologized to the hostess." Shao Yong scratched his cheek embarrassedly and said.

Zhong Li: "..."

Under Shao Yong's positive and enthusiastic invitation, Zhong Li walked into the room with a feeling of uneasiness.

It wasn't until seeing that the four dishes and one soup on the table were all normal colors and exuding a familiar smell, that Zhong Li heaved a sigh of relief and sat by the table: "It looks... edible."

Shao Yong said dissatisfied: "You only comment on the results of my hard work all day! Can't you just say that it looks delicious!"

Zhong Li wondered: "It won't be too late after I taste the taste..."

Shao Yong immediately looked at Zhong Li with expectant little eyes.

Zhong Li finally moved his chopsticks. First he put a chopstick on the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, then he put a chopstick on the fried pork slices with beans, then braised eggplants that were a bit overcooked, and lightly boiled cabbage, and finally It's egg drop soup.

"How about it?"

Zhong Li said slowly: "The color... is okay; the fragrance... is average; the taste... is better than expected."

Shao Yong's eyes immediately dimmed, and then he thought that Zhong Li was also a young master, and his tongue was more picky than ordinary people, so it's not bad to be able to come up with such an evaluation.However, the enthusiasm has subsided.

Zhong Li stretched out her hand with a smile, and helped Zhong Li wipe off the ashes on her face: "This is also full of color, fragrance, and I think it is better than yesterday's meal."

"Really?" Shao Yong regained his energy.

"Really, I won't lie to you." Zhong Li said, "Then, do you want to hear the news I found out?"
