Lu Xiaoshu was not affected by him at all, and couldn't help pestering Du Zhong to try some meat, Du Zhong said with a smile: "Today is too late, I will teach you when I have a chance later! It is quite simple to say, The hand holding the knife and the meat must be steady, the eyesight must be accurate, when cutting the meat, follow the texture of the meat, find the cutting point, move quickly, and the hand knife should be clean and neat, that's all! "
Lu Xiaoshu stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou said it is very simple, but the simpler it sounds, the more knowledge you have here, the more difficult it is to do it! Every point of the trick you said is not going through a lot of work." I'm afraid I can't do it even if I practice hard!"
After hearing this, Du Zhong secretly nodded, secretly praising in her heart that she is an extremely intelligent and beautiful girl, and many adults may not know how to think like this!
He smiled and said, "As long as you put your heart into it, you will succeed. I think you have some martial arts foundation, so it's definitely not difficult to practice."
As soon as he mentioned this Lu Xiaoshu, he was immediately depressed, pouted and sighed dejectedly: "What's more! Uncle Zhou Zhou did something to him, and I can't use half of my extra strength at this time. Why are you talking about martial arts! Uncle Zhou..."
Lu Xiaoshu looked at Du Zhong with his beautiful big eyes, and said with a flattering soft voice, "Otherwise, Uncle Zhou—"
Du Zhong quickly interrupted her by coughing twice, and said with a smile: "This meat is almost done, come to Xiaoshu, please help me, skewer it with bamboo sticks, sprinkle seasonings on it later and then grill it! Well, this The meat on the leg of lamb is almost sliced, I don’t think there is any need to slice it anymore, just put it on the fire and roast it! It’s a pity, if there is a soup pot, it would be great to keep a pot of delicious lamb Leg Soup…”
"..." Lu Xiaoshu was speechless for a moment, and replied "Oh" honestly, he started to skewer the meat, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: You, like him, have no good intentions! Don't look at your harmless appearance of not saying a word on weekdays...
Soon the meat was roasted. Eucommia brought salt, chili powder, pepper and other seasonings with him, and wild onions and wild ginger were added. The strong smell of meat soon came out. Eat the soft steamed buns with relish.
Eucommia is very good at seasoning meat and roasting meat, and the food it makes is more delicious than others. So much so that although Lu Xiaoshu thought he and Xue Heng belonged to the same kind of people, he couldn't help but secretly decided to ask him for advice when he had the opportunity.
Lu Xiaoshu suppressed the idea of running away for a while, and became much more active and happy. The journey was really treated as a trip, and Zhou Shizhi, who was chattering and chattering, always asked questions with great interest. Well, sometimes when staying in a small town, she would drag Zhou Shizhi to accompany her to the night market, and buy all kinds of messy local specialties to go back to the inn.
Naturally, Zhou Shizhi would not spoil her interest, and would accompany her every time.
Because he followed her too much, it could almost be called unconditional pampering, which made Xue Heng feel extremely uncomfortable in his eyes.
Xiaoshizi is the little master who he and Du Zhong have protected with their lives, and will not hesitate to exchange their lives for his safety at any time. In their hearts, it is sacred and inviolable, and it is high above.
Although he kept calling them uncles for the sake of safety and convenience along the way, and they cooperated very well. In order not to make people suspicious, he really treated him as a nephew on weekdays, but the admiration in his heart is Nothing less.
Who knew that the little master they regarded as sacred and noble had become the royal servant of a wild girl, how embarrassing they were!
Xue Heng thought so, and he took it for granted that Du Zhong must also think so, and when he was aggrieved, he also represented Du Zhong's emotions.
This day, I arrived in a larger town, and I arrived relatively early. After dinner, it was still dark, and there was still a sliver of sunset light in the sky. Presumably it is also because the farther you go to the northwest, the darker the sky gets later.
This town is very lively, Lu Xiaoshu discovered it when he entered the town, how could he give up? When she happily pulled Zhou Shizhi to go out with her, she didn't notice Xue Heng's eyes behind her, which could be said to be so angry that they were about to burst into flames.
Du Zhong happened to see it, couldn't help but shook his head with a helpless smile, stepped forward and patted Xue Heng on the shoulder: "What's the matter?"
"Look for yourself!" Xue Heng pouted his lips and snorted coldly: "If it goes on like this, it will be fine!"
"Aren't you used to it yet?" Du Zhong smiled disapprovingly, and said, "It seems that your energy-raising skills are not good enough yet! You have to practice and practice again."
"Brother, can't you take care of it?" Xue Heng said angrily, "It's not that I'm not good at nourishing Qi, but how can I calm down? Brother, if this continues, the little prince will be ruined—"
"Shut up!" Xue Heng was stopped by Du Zhong with a low yell before he could finish his sentence. Du Zhong glared at him fiercely, looked around and saw no one was moving, so he was slightly relieved, and pushed Xue Heng into the room: "Go in." Say it again!"
Xue Heng also regretted his slip of the tongue, felt annoyed, and hurriedly followed him into the room.
"What's the matter with you!" Du Zhong was really angry now, and said with a sigh of relief: "Until we find the person left behind by the master, we are no different from an ant! If you are so careless in public , that's over!"
Ever since the news spread that the young prince had escaped the catastrophe, they have lived in dire straits and suffered a lot. In the past few years, although they have tried their best to settle down in remote villages and remote small towns, they still encountered three or four unsightly battles. Big fights.
Fortunately, the corpses could be destroyed every time without leaving any traces, and then they hid quickly and quickly, so that they narrowly escaped the catastrophe.
But as the saying goes, misfortune comes out of the mouth, so Xue Heng unconsciously called out some "little son", and it fell into the ears of those who cared, so what's the deal
Xue Heng was also secretly annoyed, he didn't even dare to raise his head when he heard Du Zhong reprimanded him. After he finished training himself, he murmured in a low voice: "It's because that wild girl got mad..."
"You still have the nerve to say it!" Du Zhong was even more angry when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "You have forgotten what I told you? Calm down, nourish your breath, understand?"
Xue Heng opened his mouth, wanting to say, does Yang Qi Kung Fu have to be practiced like this? Can't there be another way? In the end, I didn’t dare to speak, and sighed: “That’s all! I’ll just pretend I didn’t see it! But I’m just worried about Xiao-A Si, if the wild girl is ruined, wouldn’t our hard work and efforts be in vain! Playing things and losing hope ah!"
"No," Du Zhong shook his head, and said still: "Look for yourself, can't you see it? Ah Si is playing, when did you lose track of the importance of doing things? What should be learned and practiced every day? Has he ever been slack? I told you a long time ago that he has to experience it by himself, and he can only understand and understand many things after he has experienced it himself, otherwise, he will never grow up!"
"Besides," Du Zhong pondered for a moment before saying, "Having Xiao Shu with us is a kind of cover-up? Who would have thought that?"
Xue Heng's eyes lit up, and he agreed with this very much, and he said happily, "Yes, why didn't I think of this!" Having that little girl following him was indeed a good cover, so that it would be less annoying I paid attention.
When Xue Heng thought about it, he felt more comfortable, and felt that Lu Xiaoshu was not so useless anymore.
As we went northwest, the weather became colder, the wind became more violent, and the temperature difference between day and night became larger. It is even more difficult because of the frequent shuttle in the mountains and the unpredictable weather.
Although Lu Xiaoshu has never complained of suffering, he is still so happy and cheerful every day, but she is a petite girl after all, how can she withstand the continuous wind and frost and running around
On this day, I finally fell ill.
This morning, Zhou Shizhi asked her to get up, wash, have a meal, and then go on her way as usual, but she didn't hear her clear and crisp voice in the room like a lark's cheerful promise, but only heard it after a long time of sniffing. A feeble, frail answer.
Zhou Shizhi was taken aback, he slammed on the door hard a few times but there was no movement, he simply kicked it open, rushed in and said hastily, "Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiaoshu was struggling to get up, and when he saw him coming in, he lay on the head of the bed, gasped and said softly: "I, I have a headache, a sore throat, and a pain in my body, and I don't feel comfortable breathing out of my nose, and I feel uncomfortable all over... "
Zhou Shizhi looked haggard when he saw her, her small face was pale and gloomy, her eyes that were always watery and vivid also lost their former brilliance, her lips were pale, and she looked as delicate as a shivering flower in the autumn wind .
He couldn't help feeling distressed. He shook her hand, it was hot, and then he stretched out his hand to probe her nose. His breathing was also hot. He couldn't help being surprised and said, "You have a high fever! Why did you say this earlier!"
Lu Xiaoshu rolled his eyes at him, thinking who should I talk to? Humph said: "I can't go on the road."
"What road are you still on!" Zhou Shizhi couldn't laugh or cry, he quickly supported her and said, "Lie down, I'll go to the doctor!" He said and tucked the quilt for her.
Lu Xiaoshu let out an "oh" and said again: "Uncle Zhou Zhou won't blame me, will he?"
Zhou Shizhi hesitated slightly, and said softly, "You just need to rest well, don't worry about him!"
Xue Heng was waiting impatiently below, when he saw one of Zhou Shi coming out, he asked, "Where's the wild girl? Why are you so dawdling today!"
Zhou Shizhi frowned and said, "She is sick and has a high fever. We can't go on our way today! Anyway, it's very cold, so let's rest here for a day to refresh our spirits. You two uncles, go back and rest. , I'll go to the doctor."
"It's really troublesome!" Xue Heng, who had a much better temper, couldn't help complaining again, and Du Zhong took a look at him before he shut up.
