Chapter 423 The Turtledove Is Gone

"Turtledove! I haven't eaten turtledove for many years, this is a good game!"

The sister of the Yang family was probably really hungry, looking at the lively turtledove on the tree, the corners of her mouth were drooling.

"Don't talk, watch me catch them!" Miao Miao whispered.

"Girl Miaomiao, wait first!" Yang Zhenling stopped Miaomiao: "These turtledoves have red strings tied to their legs. They should be turtledoves with owners. They might be raised by some islander's family. It's wild game! If you really want to eat them, you have to tell the owner first."

"Brother, where is there a family in this deep mountain and old forest?"

The sister of the Yang family looked at Yang Zhenling dissatisfied.

"Don't tell me, there should be real people here!"

Yang Zhenling stretched out his hand and pointed, only to see smoke rising from the mountainside.

"On the other side of the mountain, if you go there, you will have a long way to go back! What's more, the ancient head and the others are all hungry now, do you have the heart to let the distinguished guests starve?" The sister of the Yang family said pitifully.

"It's okay, we're not hungry."

Although she kept calling her elder sister, Miaomiao didn't take the blame for it. She looked at the sister of the Yang family and smiled happily.

"Sister, you are so annoying!"

After glaring at Meow Miao fiercely, the sister of the Yang family turned to act like a baby to Yang Zhenling.

"Well, I'm actually hungry, brother, let's not go to the other side of the mountain, let's take down these turtledoves now!"

It seemed that the sister of the Yang family wanted to eat them, and the few turtledoves that were still playing in the trees all flew away at once, and the direction was the mountainside, the place where the cooking smoke rose.

The sister of the Yang family wanted to cry, but Yang Zhenling laughed loudly: "It seems that these turtledoves really don't want you to eat them!"

Everyone also laughed, and the sister of the Yang family shouted down the mountain: "Stinky turtledove, bad turtledove, you wait for me, I'm going to eat you today!"

"Okay, stop making trouble, little girl! It's quite far away on the other side of the mountain. Today we mainly accompany Sect Leader Gu and the others. Whether we eat turtledoves or not depends on what Sect Leader Gu wants." Yang Zhenling said.

"It's okay, I just came out to play anyway, and Miaomiao and I are not tired, it's rare that your sister is not afraid of hard work, so let's go there!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.

If you say action, you will act. Gu Zheng and the others were originally on the top of the mountain, and immediately began to descend from the other side.

After walking for a long time, the sister of the Yang family regretted it a little. The mountain road was difficult, and going down the mountain was even more difficult than going up the mountain. She was almost always held by Yang Zhenling's hand along the way.

"Sister Yang, why don't we go back?"

Miao Miao happily walked in the front, turning her head from time to time, joking with Yang's sister.

"No, I won't bow my head to the mountain road. I must eat the turtledove made by Sect Master Gu at noon today!" the sister of the Yang family said bitterly.

"Don't talk about my husband being a turtledove. We saw the turtledove flying there, but it is not raised by that family. It is not sure at all. Besides, even if it is raised by someone else, they may not be willing to let it Let's eat!" Meow Meow said.

"They must be raised by that family! Otherwise, I will be at a big loss? As for people who are reluctant to part with it, sister, don't worry! As long as you say that you are a distinguished guest of the Tianxin faction, the islanders have nothing to be reluctant to part with!" Yang Yang The girl at home affirmed.

After walking forward for a while, a winding path finally appeared on the originally roadless mountain.

"Great, there is a way!"

The sister of the Yang family cheered, it was the first time that Lu was so cute.

Down the road, everyone's speed was much faster.

After a while, a man carrying a hoe and a seven or eight-year-old child appeared on the road ahead.

"Uncle, wait!" Yang Zhenling said.

The shirtless man dressed as a farmer turned his head and stopped to look at Yang Zhenling.

"Uncle, I want to ask you something, how many families live on this mountain?" Yang Zhenling said.

The farmer looks simple and honest, but he didn't answer Yang Zhenling's question immediately, but squinted his eyes and looked Yang Zhenling up and down.

"who are you?"

The muddy child, hiding behind the peasant, asked timidly.

"I am a disciple of the Tianxin Sect, and this is a distinguished guest of the Tianxin Sect. We have been thirsty and hungry all the way, and we want to beg for a meal in a place where people live!"

Yang Zhenling didn't have the nerve to say that he wanted to eat turtledoves, so he smiled at the mud boy and gave him a Wufeng apricot.

The mud boy shook his head, although he really wanted to eat the Wufeng apricot in Yang Zhenling's hand, but he clung tightly to the farmer's clothes.

"You, you, you are Yang Zhenling?"

The farmer finally spoke, with a little excitement in his unbelievable voice.

"My name is Yang Zhenling, uncle, do you recognize me?"

Yang Zhenling's eyes were puzzled. Looking at the farmer's face, he first frowned, and then his eyes widened.

"You, you are Uncle Cheng?" Yang Zhenling said excitedly.

"You remember?" the farmer laughed.

When Yang Zhenling was young, Uncle Cheng was his neighbor. Later, Yang Zhenling's parents passed away, and the young Yang Zhenling and his younger sister lived in the Tianxin School until they became adults, and then moved back to the original old house. However, Uncle Cheng's family, who were originally their neighbors, has disappeared.

After many years, I actually met my old neighbors. Both Yang Zhenling and Uncle Cheng seemed very happy.

"Xiaobao, you go home first and tell your mother to prepare some dishes for the distinguished guests at noon!"

"Um."

The mud boy responded, smiled at everyone, and quickly disappeared on the mountain road.

"Uncle Cheng, how many families are there around here?"

The younger sister of the Yang family also spoke, she was still thinking about her turtledove.

"There is only my family here! Don't go anywhere today, just come to my house for a light meal, and the distinguished guests will go home with us!"

Uncle Cheng looked at the crowd with a simple and enthusiastic expression.

Yang Zhenling looked at Gu Zheng with a questioning gaze. Although he really wanted to go and reminisce about the old days, today's task is to take Gu Zheng on a tour after all. If he can't make it through, it will depend on Gu Zheng's decision in the end.

"Okay, let's go as a guest together!"

In fact, Gu Zheng didn't really want to go. People who are too enthusiastic will make him feel uncomfortable, but since Yang Zhenling wants to go, it's okay to go there together.

Yang Zhenling smiled gratefully at Gu Zheng: "Friend Gu, I'll excuse you for a while."

"It's okay, let's go!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and Yang Zhenling immediately walked ahead with Uncle Cheng, reminiscing about the past while walking.

"Uncle Cheng's family is the only one on the mountain. It seems that the quail belongs to their family. Today's quail meal didn't go away!" The sister of the Yang family smiled viciously.

Yang Zhenling and Uncle Cheng walked in front, and Gu Zheng walked behind. Although Gu Zheng didn't speak all the way, there were sisters from the Yang family and Miao Miao teasing and teasing from time to time, which didn't seem boring.

Uncle Cheng's home is right in front of him, with a small yard and three huts. The mud boy who came back to report the letter has also been wiped clean, and is grinning at everyone at the door.

"Little Treasure, here it is!"

Yang Zhenling stepped forward quickly, took out some Wufeng apricots and stuffed them for Uncle Cheng's children.

"Take it, this is your true spirit brother!"

Uncle Cheng let go, and Xiaobao took Wufengxing, and called out "Brother Zhenling" crisply.

"Damn it, I'm back!"

After leading the crowd into the yard, Uncle Cheng called out to the house.

A simple peasant woman came out of the house immediately: "Father, the meal is almost ready, you take the distinguished guests to sit in the main room first!"

"Aunt Cheng!"

Yang Zhenling and the sister of the Yang family yelled together, the peasant woman was slightly taken aback, and soon saw who they were, a pleasant exchange of greetings was inevitable.

In the main room, Uncle Cheng entertained Gu Zheng and the others with homemade wine.

The quality of the wine was not that good, but the drinkers were very simple, and even Gu Zheng drank a big bowl of wine to the bottom.

While everyone was drinking and chatting, a different smell of meat came from the kitchen, which made people's index fingers move.

The younger sister of the Yang family was still very intoxicated at first, but soon she frowned, she looked at Gu Zheng and whispered: "Master Gu, is this boiled meat?"

"It seems that it is. Ordinary meat will not have such a fragrant taste."

Gu Zheng didn't think it was a pity, but just thought it was a bit fun! Originally, he was chasing the turtledove, but the host, who had thought of being hospitable, actually boiled the turtledove first to entertain the guests.

On the other hand, the sister of the Yang family, her face was full of pain. When she thought of ordinary quality turtledoves being stewed by Aunt Cheng, she really felt dumbfounded.

After a while, Aunt Cheng brought out all the food.

Two turtledoves were stewed, two turtledoves were fried with potatoes, besides a pheasant and hare, some wild vegetables from the mountains.

"The food is ready. Today, I specially stewed some turtledoves raised by my family. I hope that you, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Yue can all eat and drink well!"

Uncle Cheng's words were very solid, and it was another big bowl of wine that collided with everyone.

With a feeling of whether to laugh or cry, the younger sister of the Yang family filled a little turtledove soup with a little bit of turtledove meat, and after tasting everything, the disappointment on her face became even stronger.

Gu Zheng also tasted the same thing. Turtle Dove Soup because Aunt Cheng put some medicinal ingredients in it, although it was very tonic, but the dosage was wrong, so that it should have been a very delicious soup, except for a hint of bitterness. In addition, the smell of medicine is also very strong.

As for the stir-fried turtledove meat, there are also some things that shouldn't be put in it, so that the taste that should be possessed by ordinary ingredients does not burst out at all.

"Eat more, although it is not delicious, but it is a heart of others."

What Gu Zheng said in a low voice was not only to Miao Miao, but also to the disappointed sister of the Yang family.

Miao Miao, who had already put down her chopsticks, was very obedient, not only picked up her chopsticks again, but also ate very sweetly.

As for the sister of the Yang family, although she is very obedient, she can't make the kind of devotion that Meow Meow has! After all, she is really looking forward to the turtledove cooked by Gu Zheng himself, not to mention that she is different from Miaomiao, she has really passed through this village, and there is no such shop.

"Master Gu, you said that the original turtledove was an ordinary-grade ingredient, but what kind of ingredient should the current turtledove be?" Yang's sister asked in a low voice.

"It's not bad, it belongs to the second level." Gu Zheng whispered.

Seeing that the sister of the Yang family was still depressed, Gu Zheng whispered again: "Although the common-grade turtledove meat was downgraded due to Aunt Cheng's incomprehension and unreasonable cooking methods, I can feel that Aunt Cheng made it with great care. What's more, as a peasant woman, Aunt Cheng's meal is already very good! You are a cook yourself, and I am good at cooking. If you insist on comparing Aunt Cheng with us, you are playing the wrong role! How can things in life be so perfect? ​​Comparing people, you will die, and comparing goods, you will throw them away!"

"Guest, don't just talk, touch me for another bowl!" Uncle Cheng raised the bowl to Gu Zheng.

"good!"

Gu Zheng greeted him with a bowl, and the two bowls collided.

"How? Did my husband tell you that you were enlightened?"

Miaomiao poked the dazed girl from the Yang family.

"I understand the truth, but I'm just a little disappointed! After all, I'm different from my sister, and I can't often eat delicious dishes made by Master Gu."

The sister of the Yang family smiled wryly, picked up a piece of rice cake on the table, and took a hard bite.

"Hey, this rice cake is delicious!"

The sister of the Yang family is actually carefree, and the delicious rice cakes seem to make her forget the loss before.

"Xiaoyue, the reason why our family moved here is because we discovered that the rice grown in the spring water here is very sweet, and your grandma Cheng likes it very much! If you like this rice cake, eat more , Auntie will pack some rice for you when you leave."

"Thank you, auntie!"

The sister of the Yang family quickly thanked her, and then said: "Is it true that Grandma Cheng won't eat with us?"

"No, she can eat in the back room." Aunt Cheng smiled.

"Hey, why don't you eat?"

The sister of the Yang family suddenly noticed that Xiaobao was staring blankly at the dining table, looking like he was about to cry.

"My turtledove, my turtledove are gone, and they won't play with me anymore."

Being questioned, the aggrieved Xiaobao cried out. Although the voice was very low, everyone in the room heard it.

"Didn't mother promise you? The next time I go out of the mountain, I will bring you a few chicks to play with. As for the turtledoves, Xiaobao will just forget about them!"

Aunt Cheng patted Xiaobao's head, but Xiaobao was still very disappointed.

"It turns out that those turtledoves are Xiaobao's playmates. I'm really sorry, Xiaobao!"

Seeing Xiaobao's aggrieved appearance, the sister of the Yang family also felt guilty.

"Xiaoyue, it's okay, the children's family, it will be fine in a while."

With an apologetic face, Aunt Cheng looked at the crowd who had stopped eating.

"The child is so old, and keeping out of contact with the outside world is not a solution. I heard Lao Cheng chatting with Yang Daoyou before. The reason why you chose to live in the mountains is because Xiaobao's grandma is sick! I don't know Xiaobao. Bao's grandma, what's wrong with it?" Gu Zheng asked.

On the road, Guzheng listened to what Lao Cheng had said to Yang Zhenling. Yang Zhenling had also asked about their family's situation, but Lao Cheng seemed to be too sad to say anything about his mother's illness.

Gu Zheng took the initiative to ask, which made Yang Zhenling smile gratefully at him first, and then the whole person seemed to have confidence.

"Uncle Cheng, Fellow Daoist Gu is a distinguished guest of the Tianxin Sect, but he is a very capable person. Just tell us what kind of illness Grandma Cheng has. Maybe Fellow Daoist Gu can cure this disease?"

Yang Zhenling looked at Uncle Cheng who was only focused on drinking, and his tone was quite complaining.
