The taste of Xiaozhai is vegetarian, and you can eat a little bit of meat, but I don't like big fish and meat.
Gu Yu likes to cook, and he always stocked up ingredients, so he made a dish of roasted eggplant, a dish of tofu with micro pepper, a dish of fried green bamboo shoots, and a bowl of lotus root soup.
It was almost dusk, and the summer sky hadn't diminished at all, but through the glass windows, there was a hint of darkness. Today, instead of placing a round table, I put out the kang table that has not been used for a long time.
This was made by my grandfather. It is rectangular, with four short legs, and the table top is made of old elm, the texture of which has turned black. Two young men in their twenties, with their long legs crossed, sat on the kang and ate. There was also a snake lying beside the girl, occasionally spitting out messages.
Just this scene, no matter how you look at it, it's weird.
"Are you all going back tomorrow?" Gu Yu asked.
"Sister He may want to stay for a while."
"Is there anything wrong with Tang Shuo?"
"It depends on what the company does. If the money is in place, it will be fine."
Xiao Zhai took a sip of the soup and said with a smile, "What about you? Can you still catch the snake?"
"Anyway, I have to toss for a few days, and it will stop when the mountain is safe..."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and then said after a pause: "Hey, I'm very curious about your flute, can you show me?"
"Here!"
Xiao Zhai opened the backpack and threw it over casually.
Gu Yu quickly caught it, and took a closer look: he saw that the flute was rather thin and short, with a strange shape and several knuckle-shaped protrusions. The whole body is off-white, the material is special, and it feels smooth to the touch.
"Is this made of bone?" He wasn't sure.
"Well, use the wing bones of eagle eagles."
"What is a vulture eagle?"
"It's a general term. For example, forest eagles and crested eagles, the most fierce and fierce one should be used."
"The fiercest and fiercest?"
He couldn't help laughing, thinking that this description was a bit cute.
Gu Yu played with it for a while and then returned it. He knew that the flute was just a tool, and the key was playing and the black pill. However, it involved the secrecy of the teacher, so it was difficult to ask in detail.
The current feeling between the two is very delicate. On top of the secular friendship, another layer of fellowship has been established. While getting closer, each is cautious, and it is not yet time to fully open up.
Of course, generally speaking, he still trusts others.
And Xiao Zhai put away the bone flute, almost finished eating, and asked casually: "What are your plans for the future?"
"Plan? I really haven't thought about it."
He shook his head and sighed suddenly: "I got Taoism by accident, and saw a world I never imagined. Now what I think in my heart is to learn more things and see more wonderful things."
"In a quiet corner of Phoenix Mountain, there are spiritual creatures such as squirrels and green snakes. And there are countless mountains and rivers in the world. What kind of scenery is Dongyue, Emei, Qingcheng, and Luofu? Sixty-two sects of Taoism, there are so many hidden sects What kind of inheritance is the door? Sigh, I really want to take a look."
"Then let's go!" Xiao Zhai interrupted with a smile.
"You treat me as a post-00s, just leave as soon as you say?"
Gu Yu got angry, put the bowls and chopsticks back, and continued to babble: "To be honest, I am practicing every day, and the more I practice, the more panic I get. Once I embark on this road, I never want to turn back, but if I can't do it for the rest of my life What a pity and resignation to go further."
"It is said that practice is born out of the world, but I think practice is in the world. Ordinary people pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, while monks pay attention to wealth, couples, and land. They are all in a group environment. You need resources and exchanges, and you cannot do without this society. Just like I want to go out, there is no How will the time go? How will I go without travel expenses? I can't fly."
"..."
The girl listened quietly, because she knew that these words could only be said to herself.
Gu Yu was also panicked, and finally found someone to confide in. After nagging and nagging for a long time, he realized that it was a bit too much, so he shut his mouth in embarrassment.
"Ah… "
Xiao Zhai chuckled, unknowingly, his understanding of this boy deepened a lot.
He may be the only one in the world who understands Taoism, but his mentality is so natural, he looks forward to the future, respects the Dao, and pursues it persistently.
What's even more rare is that he didn't lose his humanity.
The girl thought this way, but Gu Yu was very embarrassed, and silently washed the dishes and put away the table. After finishing his work, he suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "By the way, do you remember the place where the snake was caught?"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"I always feel that there is something weird, and I want to investigate. The aura on this mountain is getting more and more restless, and the animals are greatly affected. This time it is a green snake. I am afraid that something will appear next time."
"Unsafe?"
Xiao Zhai blinked his eyes and asked, "Where have you been since you got a sense of Qi?"
"Shengtian's aura is the weakest, almost zero. Wudaohe was troubled by that thing, and it was very irritable at first, but after I took it away, it gradually calmed down."
Gu Yu understood her meaning, explained briefly, and said: "There is no difference anywhere else, so the problem is still on the mountain. The green snake has been subdued by you, it will be a great help, can you go with me?"
"Okay, after this turmoil is over, you can find some time." Xiao Zhaite was straightforward.
"Well, I'll contact you again..."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand suddenly and lowered his voice: "Someone is coming!"
The girl reacted quickly, and as soon as she pulled the backpack, the snake swished into it. A second later, someone in the courtyard shouted: "Brother!"
"Wow!"
Fang Qing pushed open the door and ran in bouncingly, pretending to be real: "Yeah, do you have guests?"
"..."
Gu Yu Waterfall Khan, your acting skills as a spy are also terrible, and he introduced: "This is sister Xiaozhai, and this is Fang Qing, the child of Uncle Fang's family."
His articulation is very heavy, and the girl can understand it as soon as he hears it. He is the brat who pretends to be someone and flirts with girls online.
Fang Qing saw each other for the first time, this time she was not pretending, she exclaimed: "Wow, sister, you are so beautiful!"
"Heh, you're cute too."
The older girl pulled the younger girl over and asked with a smile, "I heard you're going to high school?"
"Well, the high school entrance examination has just ended, and school will start in September."
"Awesome, come on..."
As Xiao Zhai said, he swiped his left hand on the backpack, picked up a small pendant, and said with a smile, "This is for you. I wish you success in your studies and success in everything."
"Well… "
Fang Qing saw that the wooden pendant was exquisite and delicate, and liked it very much, but she also glanced at Gu Yu, saw him nodding before taking it, and said, "Thank you, sister!"
Well, in just a few minutes, the little girl bowed down under the pomegranate skirt of the big girl, very affectionate. Gu Yu looked helpless and asked, "Qingqing, what's the matter with you running over here? If you play on the computer, you have to wait for a while."
"Oh, right… "
Fang Qing almost forgot, and hurriedly said: "My mother made delicious food today, let you go over, sister, will you come with me?"
Snapped!
As soon as he covered his face, the old couple's thoughts should not be too obvious, and they said sadly: "We just ate, so we won't go."
"Huh? Have you eaten?"
Fang Qing was upset immediately, and wanted to make up for it awkwardly, and said: "Then, since it's so hard for my sister to come here, why don't you come and sit at our house?"
"No, I'm leaving now."
Xiao Zhai stood up, pinched her round face, and said with a smile, "Thank you for me, Auntie, I will go again next time I have a chance."
"Okay then, I'm going back to eat..."
Fang Qing pursed her lips, and then ran away without a trace.
After she left, Xiao Zhai picked up his backpack and put it on his shoulder, saying: "It's getting late, I have to go back."
"I send you."
Gu Yu was busy getting the key.
"No, we'll see you anyway."
She waved her hand, stopped the other party, and walked out the door.
