Food is the most important thing for people. Tang Li thinks that the most important thing in life is eating. Not only should you eat enough, but you should also eat well. As a chef, the way she wants to be good to people is to make a lot of delicious food and feed the people she likes. Before, she was not able to perform well in Guikuyuan due to the lack of materials and tools. Now that she is out, Tang Li feels that she should at least make a delicious meal for her little male god first.
It’s just… “I wonder if the shop owner is willing to lend me the kitchen.” Tang Li was a little worried.
Xunnu led her to the kitchen, and said in a calm, steady voice, "He will agree."
Tang Li smiled and said, "Yes, I think the shop owner and waiter here seem to be easy to talk to."
The "easy-going" shop owner really agreed to Tang Li's request, but his smile was a little stiff. Tang Li rolled up her sleeves after getting permission, walked around the small kitchen, picked up all the seasonings and looked at them, and then went to choose the ingredients. There were not many ingredients in this shop. The meat was hung on one side and looked quite fresh, but there were not many other vegetables, and they were not very fresh either.
When Tang Li was busy working in the kitchen, the shop owner stood there watching with a smile on his face. Tang Li thought he was watching her to make sure she didn't break things in the kitchen, so she didn't pay any attention. Xun Nu also stood aside motionlessly, as if confronting the boss.
In the end, because she was afraid that Xunnu would get hungry if he waited too long, and because there were not many ingredients, Tang Li only cooked a pot of noodles. Although it was just noodles, the noodle soup used the broth from the kitchen, the ingredients were a combination of meat and vegetables, and she also mixed the marinade with her own secret recipe. When it was served on the table, it was delicious and appetizing.
The two of them finished their noodles in silence, and Tang Li suddenly said, "I think it's still early, why don't we leave today and see if we can go to a nearby city."
Xunnu said nothing and nodded in agreement.
After they left the store for a distance, Tang Li exhaled slowly, suddenly grasped Xun Nu's hand, and whispered to him: "When I went outside the kitchen to get firewood, I found blood under the firewood pile. There was a body hidden underneath... There must be something wrong with that store."
She was planning to rest in the store for one night, but after seeing the corpse, she didn't dare to stay any longer. If she hadn't seen too many corpses in the Ghost Crying Forest in the past few days, she would have lost her composure on the spot, not to mention being able to calm down and finish cooking the noodles with the firewood. Because she was worried that the boss would find out and kill her, she pretended to know nothing and endured it with great difficulty.
After hearing this, Xunnu finally understood why she wanted to leave suddenly. Seeing that she seemed still a little frightened, he couldn't help but comfort her: "It's okay, they are just some ordinary black shop thieves." He still didn't take it seriously.
Tang Li heard this and realized that she had misunderstood. She sighed in her heart, seeing Xun Nu was so used to it, this world is really dangerous, black shops are common, I am afraid I will encounter them often in the future. In fact, when she came to this world, she first spent a few days in the North City Lord's Mansion, and then went to the Ghost Crying Forest. She had not seen too many rules of this world.
"This is probably the cruel world of martial arts." Miss Tang Li sighed after imagining it.
Xunnu thought she must have misunderstood something, but thinking about how she didn't seem to be wary of others, he didn't plan to explain. It was better to be a little vigilant.
"There is a city nearby, but it's too far away from us. We may not be able to reach it before dark." Because Xun Nu said so, Tang Li decided that the two of them would camp out for the night. They found a sheltered place, built a fire and rested.
Out of habit, even though she found out that the shop was a shady one, the young lady did not forget to take the pancakes with her before leaving. She stuffed the pancakes with meat and vegetables, dipped them in the accompanying sauce, and drank a pot of hot soup, so the two of them had another good meal in the evening.
They had been sleeping outdoors for the past few days, and even with a small shed, it couldn't completely block the wind. Plus, Xunnu was injured, so the two of them had to huddle together to rest. But today, Tang Li looked at Xunnu sitting by the fire and felt embarrassed to go over to him.
This is a very strange thing about human beings. When they depend on each other in a special environment and the conditions are difficult, it is easy for them to abandon other external factors and become closer without any burden. However, once they return to the society where humans gather, they can no longer be as calm as before.
The night was cold and dewy, so the fire could only provide limited warmth. Tang Li dozed off with her face buried in her knees. She slept very badly and fell to one side in a daze. Xun Nu also rested with his eyes closed while holding the knife. When Tang Li tilted her body, he seemed to be able to see it, and quickly reached out to support her head and held it straight.
Tang Li put her head on his hand, woke up, and looked at him blankly. Xun Nu opened his eyes, looked at her, and then sat down beside her silently. Tang Li also leaned over silently and continued to sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Tang Li found herself lying in Xun Nu's arms, with her head resting on his legs. Because she subconsciously turned her face to the side and rubbed it, she found that her nose tip was touching the lapel of the little male god, and it seemed that she had rubbed his abdominal muscles.
It’s so exciting this early in the morning.
The two of them set out again, and Tang Li finally couldn't help asking Xun Nu, "Xun Nu, will you leave? You should have your own life, right?" She didn't remember the original plot very clearly, and didn't know what happened next.
Xunnu also thought about this, but he was worried about Tang Li, who seemed to be ignorant of many things, so he said, "Don't leave. Wait until you settle down and get used to me before you leave."
Tang Li said "oh" and looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "Can you tell me what you do?"
Xunnu did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Killer."
Seeing that he didn't hide anything, Tang Li smiled even more, "I think you must be a very powerful killer, so I know you won't be with me for too long. I only know how to cook, so I want to find a slightly more stable place to open a small shop to make a living. If you miss me in the future, or if you are hungry, tired, or injured, you can come to me."
She didn't know why she had occupied someone else's body, but she still had to live her own life. She had thought it through. The fate between people could not be forced, and the same was true for feelings. If Xunnu was willing to go with her for a while, she would be very happy. He was the most familiar existence to her in this strange world. For Xunnu, she only had a wish when she was a girl, hoping that he could live well and not be trapped by others.
Xun Nu in the novel died for the heroine Chu Li. Now Chu Li has become Tang Li, and Tang Li will not let Xun Nu die for her.
When the two stopped to rest for a while, Xunnu heard the sound of fighting not far away, and it was getting closer and closer to them.
"Wait here." Xunnu disappeared in the blink of an eye after giving the order. He quietly came to the place where the bloody smell came from, and saw corpses everywhere. There were seven people dressed as assassins who were besieging and killing a young man in brocade robes. The man's martial arts skills were not high, and he was forced to death in the blink of an eye, and he was still struggling.
At this moment, one of the seven assassins spotted Xun Nu and immediately asked in alarm: "Who is this? I advise you not to get involved, or I will kill you too!"
The young man in brocade robe was in a dilemma, but when he saw Xun Nu, he seemed to see a ray of hope. He ignored everything and shouted, "Please save me, warriors! I am Yuwen Jin, the ninth son of Dongcheng!"
Xun Nu prepared to leave as soon as he saw this. This had nothing to do with him. Except for missions, he usually did not take action.
Seeing him leaving with an expressionless face, Yuwen Jin was almost in despair. He knew from the vague fearful attitude of several assassins that this stranger brother was very likely to be powerful. He thought that there was light at the end of the tunnel, but who knew that the stranger brother didn't want to care at all. Was he really going to die here today? Yuwen Jin gritted his teeth and shouted without hope: "As long as you save me, I will reward you. You can have as much gold as you want! All the silver and money on me will be given to you!"
A master would not be moved by this little bit of benefit. Yuwen Jin just struggled one last time. How could he have imagined that after he shouted this, the passers-by would actually stop and turn around to draw their swords.
Yuwen Jin didn't see the other party's movements clearly. He only felt a cool breeze and a shadow passing by. In the blink of an eye, the passerby who was standing on the branch and looking down had jumped down from the tree and forced back the seven assassins around him.
Then there was another round of clashes of swords. Yuwen Jin only saw the assassins who had previously forced him to the point of suffocation retreating one after another, each with a very ugly expression. The swords in their hands were cut off by the cold water long sword. The broken swords fell to the ground and stuck into the mud.
Some people fell on their backs, holding their necks, while others knelt forward, with a streak of blood on their throats. Only one person managed to escape in the end, staring at Xunnu with a face full of fear, muttering the word "Xun", and then turned and ran.
Xun Nu raised his eyes, sheathed his knife and kicked a broken sword with his toes. With a "puff" sound, the broken sword pierced into the man's back, right in the heart, and was completely embedded.
The last assassin fell. In a short moment, the situation changed drastically. Yuwen Jin was still standing aside holding the sword. When he saw Xun Nu coming towards him, he subconsciously took a step back. Xun Nu stared at him expressionlessly, which made Yuwen Jin's legs weak. It took him a while to realize what this big man was going to do. The sword in his hand clanged down, and he reached into his arms and sleeve pockets to fumble and took out all the money on him.
"Only, only a silver note of 100 taels, these two gold bars, and some small change." Yuwen Jin felt a little ashamed, "I'm just going out for fun, I don't have much money with me, why don't you come with me to get it..."
Xunnu took the money and turned away, "That's enough."
Yuwen Jin: What? Enough? This little money is enough. Is my life worth only this little pocket money
He was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at the corpses on the ground, quickly picked up the sword on the ground, and followed Xunnu, "Friend, I'm serious, I think my life is still quite precious. Otherwise, if you send me home, I will give you ten times, no, a hundred times the reward?"
Xunnu suddenly stopped, looked at him with cold eyes, and said in a hoarse and cold voice: "Don't follow me."
Yuwen Jin shuddered, having no doubt that if he followed them, he would end up like those assassins. He immediately didn't dare to follow and could only stand there and watch them disappear.
Tang Li waited until Xun Nu came back. Seeing that he looked clean and his breath was steady, he seemed to be fine. She felt relieved.
"Are you okay? It seems uneasy here. Let's leave first." Tang Li said as Xun Nu took out some silver notes, gold and change and put them in her hands.
Tang Li was stunned.
Xunnu said, "It's a thank you for helping someone just now."
Tang Li understood that the little male god had just made some extra money.
"You... is it because I just said I wanted to open a store but had no money, so you...?" Tang Li asked tentatively.
Xun Nu said: "I have money, but it is in the organization and it is not convenient to get it now. You can use this temporarily."
Tang Li has always been self-reliant in her life. She has always supported others since she became an adult. This is the first time that someone else has supported her with money. She looked into Xun Nu's bright eyes, put the money away, and smiled at him, "Okay, this is the money for food and accommodation that you deposit with me. It's enough for you to stay here for a long time."
The two of them left together, while Yuwen Jin, who had kindly donated a wave of start-up funds, stood alone in the woods, wondering how he was going to get back alone and penniless.
They didn't know that in the original novel, the heroine Chu Li and Xun Nu met Yu Wenjin and saved him from the assassin. Chu Li's lively personality made her friends with Yu Wenjin very quickly, and they went to East City with Yu Wenjin. But now, because of Xun Nu's obstruction, Yu Wenjin didn't meet Tang Li at all, and the three of them didn't go together. The plot started to deviate from here.
In the North City Lord's Mansion, in the Lord's secluded secret room, Xiahou Xuanyu suddenly opened his eyes.
A panel appeared in front of him.
— “Has your inner personality awakened?”
Xiahou Xuanyu said indifferently: "What do you think? How could my world shift again in such a short time?" Although his tone was indifferent, his eyes were full of anger.
Not long ago, he just lost his luck as the male protagonist in a world. He was cheated by the damned male supporting role Sima Jiao and the female protagonist Liao Tingyan. Before he could calm down, he found that the plot in the world he controlled had shifted again.
"What's going on this time?" Xiahou Xuanyu asked.
The panel displayed: "The situation is unclear. Notice: the plot of this world is offset by 6 percent."
Xiahou Xuanyu frowned: "Such a small deviation value should not require awakening my inner personality."
— “Both the plot and the emotional lines have shifted.”
Xiahou Xuanyu sighed, "The emotional line has shifted so quickly? How much has it shifted?"
—"The relationship line is 100% offset. After testing, the relationship between the heroine and the second male lead in this world is mutual affection, and the degree is special love."
Xiahou Xuanyu: “… … …”
WTF!
The author has something to say: The original male protagonist: Just bleach and dye it a little green.
I can not.
