Xuan Qing went to pick the fruit early this morning, and when she was washing the fruit by the river, she happened to see these two little things called "puffer fish".
These two little things are quite courageous, and they don't hide from him when they see him, and even grab his fruit and bite.
The two lived in a ruined temple for the past few days. Jiang Li had injuries on his body, but he ate vegetarian food with Xuan Qing all the time, without any oily smell. The bandit cut two more wounds on his hand, and he felt uncomfortable for some reason.
Looking at the two little things in front of him, he was a little absent-minded, thinking that I didn't take the initiative to kill, but since you bumped into each other, you can't blame me.
So he picked up the wooden bowl casually, and fished up the two puffer fish that were looking for a dead end.
Xuan Qing was cold-hearted since he was a child, except for his master, he was not close to other fellow apprentices. Although the master has always taught him to be merciful and helpful, but he only listened to it, but never took it to heart.
When he met Jiang Li who was dying on the road, the reason why he rescued him was because of the advice from his master before he went down the mountain. He couldn't bear to disappoint the nearly hundred-year-old monk.
Catching puffer fish to replenish Jiang Li’s body was the first time Xuan Qing cared about others besides his own master, but Jiang Li told him that this stuff was poisonous, which made him think on his own, but it didn’t help Embarrassment on point.
Staring at the two puffer fish in Jiang Li's hand for a moment, Xuan Qing threw the fruit in the other hand to Jiang Li expressionlessly, then grabbed the wooden bowl in his hand with one hand, turned and left.
His movements were too fast, Jiang Li just hugged Guo Guo when he saw his figure was already three meters away, and hurried to catch up: "Little master, wait for me!"
Xuan Qing ignored his yelling, and rushed away quickly, Jiang Li only chased after him all the way, fortunately, the river where he caught the puffer fish was not too far away, so Jiang Li would not have to chase too hard.
When he reached the small river, Jiang Li bent down and panted, thinking that when the bandit matter was resolved, he must practice his martial arts well, otherwise one day this little bald donkey would leave as soon as he wanted to, and he would not be able to catch up if he wanted to.
Xuan Qing dumped the two puffer fish back into the river, then squatted down to wash the wooden bowl.
Holding the fruit, Jiang Li squatted beside him, saw that his face was not looking well, so he picked up a fruit, handed it to him, and said, "Little master, do you want to eat fruit?"
Xuan Qing was unmoved, and carefully cleaned the wooden bowl, then stood up and was about to leave, but Jiang Li suddenly stuffed the fruit in his hand into his arms again.
"What are you doing?" He saw Jiang Li start to take off his shoes and roll up his trousers.
Jiang Li tucked the hem of his clothes into his belt, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fishing, although puffer fish can't be eaten, but there are rivers and fish, anyway, they're all here, I'll go down and have a look."
As he spoke, he stepped down into the river, leaving behind Xuan Qing who was holding the fruit by the river.
The water in the river is not deep, only a little above Jiang Li's knees, but the important thing is that the water flow is very clear, he can see the fish swimming around under the water while standing still.
Although Jiang Li's body doesn't have martial arts, but his sensitive skills are still there. He bent down, spotted one of the fat fish, stretched out his hand like lightning, and caught the fish out of the water with a "crash-" sound.
The fish in his hand weighed at least two or three catties, he held the fish body with both hands, turned to Xuanqing and said, "Little master, do you eat fish?"
The morning sun is golden and warm, through the towering forests in the mountains, sprinkled dots on Jiang Li's body, with a bright smile on his face, he looks straightforward and sunny, making people very comfortable to watch.
Xuan Qing looked at him, and said two words coldly: "Don't eat."
At the same time, the system sounded a reminder in Jiang Li's mind: "Congratulations to the host, the male protagonist's favorability has increased by 10%, and the current favorability is 10%."
Hearing the system's reminder, Jiang Li looked at Xuan Qing's indifferent expression, feeling inexplicably funny. And he really couldn't help it, and laughed softly.
Seeing this, Xuan Qing snorted softly.
Afterwards, Jiang Li touched another fish before going ashore, and the two lit a fire directly on the shore, Jiang Li grilled the fish, and Xuan Qing ate the fruit.
Xuan Qing was by his side, and it was not easy for Jiang Li to get seasonings such as oil and salt from the system mall. After grilling the fish, he just started eating it, chatting with Xuan Qing while eating.
But mostly he was talking, and Xuan Qing occasionally answered a sentence or two.
Perhaps it was because of the increase in favorability, this time Xuan Qing didn't keep silent when Jiang Li asked about his temple. Although he didn't answer much, he still told him where the temple was.
During the chat, Jiang Li learned that Xuan Qing went down the mountain this time for practice. Because he had never been down the mountain since he was a child, the abbot asked him to come down to see the outside world.
Xuan Qing is not like the other senior brothers who longed for the world below the mountain, but the master told him to go down the mountain, so he went down the mountain.
It has only been half a month since he went down the mountain, and he kept in mind his master's teachings to do more good deeds to accumulate virtue. On the way, he saved people and treated them. Those people were very grateful to him, but Jiang Li was the only one who insisted on traveling with him.
…
In the evening, Jiang Li and Xuan Qing went to the cottage again.
Although it was not dark yet, when they got there, the cottage was already brightly lit, and if they got a little closer, they could hear the lively noise from inside.
There were still people guarding the door, Jiang Li and Xuan Qing avoided the guards and entered the cottage through the wall.
Once inside, Xuan Qing found a lone bandit for the sake of convenience, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to knock him out and drag him to a corner.
Jiang Li quickly took off the opponent's clothes and changed them himself, and then tied up the fainted bandit with a rope.
The celebration banquet in the cottage has not yet officially started. There are lit torches everywhere, and a bonfire is still burning in the center of the venue. Although the cottage was built on a small scale, there were quite a few bandits. Many bandits gathered around the bonfire, looking forward to the upcoming celebration banquet.
In ancient times, the celebration banquet was nothing more than drinking, eating roasted whole sheep, and playing fists. On the high platform of the banquet, there were two large boxes, which contained a lot of gold and silver treasures. Jiang Li guessed that these should be what Zhou Laoer and the others said intercepted goods.
Jiang Li and the others watched from a hidden location for a while, then sneaked into the wine cellar.
When they got there, they happened to see two bandits pushing a small wooden cart to transport wine, and after avoiding them, Jiang Li and Xuan Qing went out of the wine cellar.
Jiang Li quickly unsealed the altar and poured the medicinal powder into the wine, while Xuan Qing was on the sidelines responsible for resealing the mouth of the altar. Both of them were quick-witted people, and they cooperated with each other to make more than a dozen jars in a short while. At this time, another voice came from outside.
Jiang Li signaled Xuan Qing to hide it, while he picked up a small bottle of wine from the side, unsealed it, and took a sip with his head raised.
"Okay, you actually stole wine here!" A voice came from behind.
Jiang Li came back pretending to be guilty, and hid the wine jar behind his back, with an embarrassing smile on his face: "Oh, brother, are you talking too hard? I'm not greedy, drink first Two bites."
The person who came was one of the little bandits who had just been transporting wine. Hearing his words, he gave him a disdainful look: "No prospect, I'll let you drink your fill after the celebration banquet begins."
"Brother, try it too." Jiang Li ignored his words, and directly handed over the unsealed wine in his hand, "It's fragrant."
Although the little bandit scolded Jiang Li for being worthless, he was actually very greedy. When he saw Jiang Li handing over the wine, he looked back cautiously.
"Good wine!" The little bandit sighed, looked at Jiang Li, a little puzzled, "Why do I think you are so unfamiliar?!"
"Hey, I'm an ordinary-looking person, so of course you don't have any impression." Jiang Li called him a brother and brother with a face of familiarity, "If I look as handsome and talented as you, brother, it must be impressive."
Xuan Qing: "..."
Xuan Qing, who was hiding in the corner of the corridor, heard his description of opening his eyes and talking nonsense, his expression was really indescribable.
The little bandit in front of him had a square face, single eyelids, and many small pockmarks on his face. He was not at all handsome or handsome, and he didn't know how he said such words out of conscience.
As the saying goes, "Monks don't tell lies", Xuan Qing felt that Jiang Li would definitely not be able to be a monk in this life.
Hearing Jiang Li's words against his will, the little bandit felt comfortable, so he didn't care about Jiang Li's eyesight problems. While drinking a small wine, he told Jiang Li to move the wine to the small trolley outside.
Jiang Li responded with "Ai Ai", and quickly moved out the wine that had been spiked just now.
After the little bandit left with the wine, Jiang Li continued to work and added medicine to all the wine in the wine cellar before giving up. After finishing, the two quietly left the wine cellar again.
A rare celebration banquet in the cottage, the bandits relaxed their vigilance, and did not consider the possibility of someone sneaking in to drug them. Halfway through the celebration banquet, except for the guards at the gate, almost all the bandits who had drunk the added wine lay flat , the few who did not take effect were also knocked out by Xuan Qing.
What Jiang Li took in the system shopping mall was the most powerful drug. Normal people only need to take a little, and after half an hour, they will faint for three days and three nights.
Jiang Li found the rope in the cottage, and Xuan Qing tied up the fainted bandits one by one. When he was tied up halfway, someone suddenly shouted from the side: "Who are you?!"
Jiang Li looked up and saw that it was Chen Si, who did not expect that he was not at the celebration banquet!
Chen Si ran into a ghost last night, and today he has been restless all day, always feeling that the ghost of that short-lived poor scholar is coming back to seek revenge on him.
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he went to his good brother Zhou Laoer to talk about the matter early in the morning, but the other party regarded him as suspicious and asked him to drink less alcohol, so as not to be stupid.
Chen Si also wondered if he drank too much alcohol and became demonic, so he didn't attend the celebration banquet today because he was restless. He was resting in the room alone. Something was wrong, so I came out to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, when I came out to see, my brothers were all down, and some people were tying their hands and feet with ropes! Seeing this, he immediately rushed up and shouted loudly! !
Jiang Li didn't expect this guy to appear suddenly, seeing him rushing over, he took off the hat on his head, and shouted at him with a ferocious face: "It's me, Chen Si, I'm here to kill you!"
The bloody face from last night was still in front of his eyes, this yell scared Chen Si half out of his wits, he stopped abruptly, his movements were so fast that he fell to the ground!
Xuan Qing: "..."
So... so fierce
