Hey!
In the valley, in the middle of an open space, a fire was lit, with a roasted chicken on it. The skin was roasted until brown, and little bits of fat overflowed, falling into the fire and exploding, bringing with it the aroma of chicken.
"Giggle!"
Next to the fire, a huge white ferret scratched its head and ears, seeming a little impatient.
"Don't worry! It's still early!!"
Fang Yuan carefully turned the branches and sprinkled a little salt and pepper from time to time.
It was said that since the last transaction, he and the White Marten had become familiar with each other, and gradually became familiar with him.
In particular, after drinking the Wenxin tea brewed by the Zaowang Tea Ceremony and eating a few raw leaves without belief, the white ferret suddenly lost much interest in the Wenxin tea tree and only begged Fang Yuan to make tea for it every day.
As a price, that kind of spiritual fertilizer is naturally indispensable.
And more of them hunted a few pheasants and hares to please them.
Fang Yuan was not a stingy person either. He immediately roasted the meat and gave half of it to the white ferret.
Poor Brother Diao, he is just wearing hair and drinking blood. Where has he ever eaten cooked food? Coupled with the seasonings and the barbecue techniques Fang Yuan learned from his dream, Bai Ma was immediately obsessed with it.
Now, every day when Fang Yuan opens the door, he can see the little beasts placed in front of the door, so he doesn't have to worry about eating meat at all.
"Come on! It's baked!"
Fang Yuan tore the roasted chicken in half and handed it to the white mink. The mink was immediately overjoyed. He used his claws and mouth together, like a wind and a cloud, to finish it in a few or two strokes, and licked his beard endlessly.
“Eating so fast…”
Fang Yuan was speechless and took a bite of the chicken wing in his hand: "Hmm...it tastes really good!"
This roasted chicken is not only fragrant, but the chicken is extremely tender. In addition, it is produced in the deep mountains. He is used to eating pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc., and the meat automatically has a fragrance of vegetation. Even if he is a half-hearted chef, he cooks it. It's also very delicious.
"Still want it?"
He looked at the white ferret beside him who was looking at him eagerly, smiled, and threw a chicken leg over. The ferret immediately caught it and started to chew it happily.
"Don't just eat meat, it's not nutritious..."
Fang Yuan brought out the jade crystal rice and side dishes again, and ate happily. The white marten was so jealous that he asked for another bowl. He didn't know how his belly, which was smaller than Fang Yuan, could hold so many things.
After eating and drinking, while the white ferret was eating, Fang Yuan tiptoed forward and stroked the white ferret's back.
It felt very good, and the soft hair was even smoother than the best silk. He was unconsciously addicted, and felt even happier, knowing that this spiritual beast had almost accepted him.
"If such a brave and ferocious big marten is subdued, it will be a grain-protecting spirit beast. Let me see who dares to peep at it!"
Fang Yuan has not forgotten at all that he still has an inexplicable enemy in the outside world.
"The best way to relieve food and relieve fatigue is tea..."
After finishing the roast chicken, Fang Yuan said with a smile, went back to the house and took out the teapot.
Seeing this, the white ferret's eyes suddenly lit up.
For it, roasted chicken only slightly satisfies its appetite, but this spiritual tea is something that can sharpen its mind and make it settle down.
Zizzi!
The clear and transparent tea string rushes into the cup, wafting out an amazing fragrance.
After a set of procedures, Fang Yuan's eyes were clear and he had forgotten all the worldly thoughts. Even the white mink opposite him was sitting in the cross-legged position solemnly, as if he had some enlightenment.
"please!"
Fang Yuan divided the tea into cups and handed another cup to Bai Diao.
One person and one animal just sat opposite each other, slowly sipping tea and enjoying themselves.
"Well... Diao'er has a pure mind and seems to have an understanding of Master's Zaowang Tea Ceremony..."
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan suddenly felt joyful in his heart.
This feeling was just like when the layman Wen Xin saw that he could understand the way of sitting and forgetting.
"Passing the fire from generation to generation! This is the true meaning of inheritance of civilization..."
Fang Yuan sighed silently, and seemed to feel a confused and curious mood around him. He turned his head and immediately met Bai Diao's confused eyes.
"I can actually feel the ferret's thoughts?"
He suddenly woke up, only to find that he could no longer enter the mysterious state just now.
"If I can keep this state often, maybe one day I can talk to you directly!"
Fang Yuan touched Bai Mink's head and sighed.
It's a pity that he is still far away from this state of almost supernatural power and magic.
"Let's go! Go fertilize the tea trees!"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yuan stood up, clapped his hands and said, "It's fortunate that you sent the spiritual fertilizer, otherwise the yield of the Wenxin tea tree would not be enough for the two of us..."
He came to the edge of the tea tree, opened a cloth bag, and sprinkled the grains of spiritual fertilizer down.
Marten was nearby using his paws to loosen the soil, and the man and the beast were actually working together in a harmonious and tacit understanding.
But if this scene were seen by other outsiders, I don’t know how many eyes would be dropped in shock.
"White Ferret, can I give you a name?"
"Giggle?"
"Well, I remember that in the dream world, there seems to be a legendary mink who is very powerful. It is the mythical beast in "The Romance of the Gods". It is said to be shaped like a white mouse, offering magical powers, with a body like a white elephant, and flying wings. , baring his teeth and claws, ruthless in the wind and fire, eating up all the people in the world. How about I call you 'Flower Fox and Marten'?"
Fang Yuan ignored Bai Diao's soft and shiny white hair and said directly.
"Giggle?!"
"Well, if you don't object, then I'll take it as your consent, Hua Hu Miao! Haha!"
Fang Yuan was very proud and smiled brightly.
…
Beyond the valley.
"Uncle Lin, the master you are talking about is here?"
Brother and sister Zhou Wenxin, who had a close relationship with Fang Yuan, took a few servants and trekked through the mountains and forests with Lin Yuanwai.
Especially Zhou Wenxin, a young lady who never touched the spring water with her fingers. At this moment, looking at the disappearing path, she was really on the verge of crying.
"Sigh... I have advised you, sister, to just wait for the news at home. Why bother traveling across mountains and rivers with us?"
The second brother of the Zhou family advised.
"I just want to show my filial piety to my father..."
Zhou Wenxin was already regretting it in her heart, but she pursed her lips and refused to admit it.
"Haha... Two good nephews and nieces, the valley is almost here!"
Lin Yuan was standing next to him, but his face was rosy and he didn't even take a breath. He said with a smile: "As for the layman Wenxin, he is a real master... But you are unlucky to be here. He has already left Hexi. Only my nephew Fang is left, but he has inherited some of his true medical skills. Even though he cannot be said to be a master of rejuvenation, he is quite good... "
In fact, Lin Yuanwai didn't have much confidence in Fang Yuan's medical skills.
However, he knew that Master Wenxin and his disciples had good planting skills, and they lived in the mountains. There should be a lot of old medicinal materials in reserve, and there might be treasures among them.
If I sacrifice my face again, I should be able to get one or two plants to come over and form a bond with the Zhou family.
"Lei Yue has just joined the Gui Ling Sect, so we should make many good connections for her!"
Lin Yuanwai naturally had his own considerations.
Otherwise, given the current state of him and Fang Yuan, meeting him would only increase the embarrassment. How could he come to his door eagerly again
"What? Only one disciple?"
Zhou Wenxin's face turned red and she was about to have an attack. She was immediately stopped by the young man: "This is Uncle Lin's kindness. Don't we still know what kind of person he is? Don't be impulsive!"
He apologized to Lin again: "My roommate is rude. Uncle Lin, please don't blame me!"
"Haha... I am very envious of your innocent and lively sister!"
Lin Lin responded with a smile on the outside, but in his heart he was secretly glad that his daughters were not like Zhou Wenxin this time, otherwise the family would really be uneasy.
The group of people came outside the valley as they spoke.
"Good nephew!"
Lin Yuanwai is worthy of being a veteran in the world. He is not embarrassed at all. His voice is full of energy and spreads far and wide.
"Huh? Lin Yuanwai? Why is he here again?"
Fang Yuan, who was weeding in the ruby rice field, raised his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "I'm going to take a look, Fox and Marten, you hide! Remember, you are not allowed to eat the rice seedlings secretly!"
This fox-sable flower was so mysterious that Fang Yuan planned to hide it secretly and use it as a trump card. Naturally, he did not intend to show it to others.
"Giggle!"
The white ferret raised his head and glanced outside the valley. A hint of disdain seemed to flash in his big smart eyes. He lazily got up and turned into the plantation before disappearing.
Fang Yuan waited until the fox and marten disappeared completely, then he straightened his clothes and came outside the valley: "Uncle Lin! I wonder why you came here this time?"
"My dear nephew, Uncle Lin has brought you two guests this time. Let me introduce to you, this is..."
Lin Yuwai smiled as if he was worshiping Maitreya Buddha, but the next moment, Zhou Wenxin's sharp voice rang out: "You little thief!"
"Little thief?!"
Lin Yuanwai and Brother Zhou were stunned.
"Second brother, him! It's him... He's the one who bullied me!"
Zhou Wenxin's face turned red and she was so angry that she was speechless.
"This girl!"
Fang Yuan frowned, he naturally recognized this unruly young lady.
It's just that the other party's wording is too ambiguous, right? How pitiful was he, he hadn't even touched a finger on her, so how could he be considered "humiliated"
"What are you... still doing? Catch him quickly!"
Seeing that Lin Yuanwai and Brother Zhou were still in a daze, Zhou Wenxin exploded again.
"As you command, miss!"
Several servants nearby suddenly stepped forward with unkind expressions.
"Wait a minute! Are there any misunderstandings?"
Standing in the middle of the group of people, Lin Yuan said calmly: "My good nephew, I have watched him grow up since he was a child. He is definitely not the kind of person who wants to be a disciple!"
"Are you... the guy who sold red ginseng that day?"
Brother Zhou looked at Fang Yuan and recognized him.
He was also one of the insiders about what happened that day. Later, he went to conduct a careful investigation, but the results were dumbfounding.
But to be fair, Fang Yuan is really not to blame.
"Haha... there may be some misunderstanding..."
At this time, seeing Lin Yuwai say this, he immediately said hurriedly: "That's it! That's it!"
As a brother, I naturally have to treat my sister a little harshly, but this time I came here to ask for something, so I had to deal with it through confusion.
