Hua Mu put on her skirt, put on her coat, hugged her legs and watched the white pillow make dinner...or supper. She didn't know whether the sentinel's craftsmanship had improved, but Hua Mu had a deep understanding of her own tastes.
Dinner is grilled eel with slices of bread, the practice is very simple. A large round breadfruit is baked softly, and the grilled eel is rolled in the middle to make a simple burger.
Moray eels originally inhabited the bottom of the deeper waters, probably came out for food after the sea was turbid, and were swept to the beach by the wind and waves. The white pillows were treated with wind and rain, and they were half-cooked with sea salt when they returned to the cave. At this time, they were sprinkled with basil and roasted with hot fire. The rich fat on the skin quickly became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Hua Mu smelled the smell, and her stomach was already growling.
White Pillow neatly de-thorned the moray eel, cut it into small pieces and wrapped it in breadfruit, wrapped it in banana leaves and sent it to Hua Mu.
"Miss..."
After that episode, it was obvious that there was a bit of embarrassment between the two. Hua Mu was angry and didn't want to talk to her, while Bai Zhen was uneasy and didn't dare to approach her.
Hua Mu looked at the food in her hand and couldn't help swallowing. I have to say, the scent is very appetizing.
"No soup?"
"Yes, just cook it for a while, you can eat some first."
Only then did Hua Mu take the "hamburger" and take a bite in his mouth. The meat of the moray eel is tender, the fat is thick and sticky, and the slightly rough taste of sea salt and the fragrance of basil are different from those fine delicacies that Huamu used to eat.
Bai Zhen has never handled food so carefully, and this time, in order to please Hua Mu and make her happy, she did everything she could.
"Miss, is it delicious?"
Hua Mugang was still angry with her, how could she say the word delicious
Seeing that she was eating attentively, Bai Zhen turned around and brought out the cooked fish soup. This time, she specially used lime to remove the fishy smell, added ginger and wild onions and packed it in a bamboo tube. After being stuffy in the fire for a while, she boiled the soup until the soup turned white before serving it to Hua Mu.
The dashi is rich in flavor, and eating it with an eel burger is really exciting.
At the beginning, Hua Mu was worried about the elegance of a young lady, and when she looked down and saw her bare feet, she suddenly felt that she didn't need to pretend.
Seeing that she had a good appetite, Bai Zhen felt a little relieved. As long as you can eat it, any disease is not a big problem.
She cut some chili powder and made an eel roll for herself. The breadfruit was twice as thick as Huamu's, and she ate it in three or two bites.
Hua Mu was sweating profusely from eating, fighting against the last eel. The sentinel is tall and the food is full of food. She ate a little bit, and felt that it was a waste not to finish it. She drank the last sip of soup and felt that her throat was full.
"Miss, do you still want it?" Bai Zhen was a hundred times more attentive than usual, sitting on the side and looking at Hua Mu eagerly.
Hua Mu shoved the coconut pot into her arms, "No, no, I'm so full."
This was the fullest meal she had ever eaten in her life, and her little belly ran out.
White pillow saw that she was really full, washed the pot diligently with her hands and feet, and then sat by the fire, peeking at her from time to time.
Hua Mu ate too much and lay down for a while, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the white pillow coming back to use as a cushion for herself. When she turned her head, she saw her huddled up and sitting by the fire at the entrance of the cave, not knowing what the hell was going on.
Just because she was said a few words, so she wouldn't even be a mat
Hua Mu was extremely aggrieved and refused to take the initiative first, so she could only stare at her.
Not only is the white pillow not blind, but her eyesight is very good, and she immediately found the call of the eldest lady.
"Miss, do you have any orders?"
Hua Mu pouted and asked, "I'm sick, are you going to let me freeze to death?"
The white pillow glasses lit up and asked with some hope: "You, would you like me to hold you?"
Wasn't it obvious enough that she meant it
"I just don't allow you to take off my skirt or kiss me. Who told you not to hold me? Aren't you my cushion? How can I sleep if you don't hold me?"
White pillow nodded excitedly, rubbed against Hua Mu in a few steps, and vowed: "Miss, I will never offend you again, I, I'm not a pervert... It's really just to make you feel better."
It's good that she didn't explain, but Hua Mu's embarrassment, which had subsided, jumped up again.
How much does this sentry want to distance himself from her
"Hmph, forgive you and dare not..."
Only she saw that the white pillow was like a frightened bird, and finally gave up the option of losing her temper.
What a pity that the lady of her dignified Duke's Mansion has to accommodate a guard!
Bai Zhen was obviously relieved, and carefully sat next to Hua Mu, who sat on top of her without saying a word.
The sentry was a little stiff, hesitated for a while and finally asked, "Miss, can you tell me where the boundaries that offend you are?"
In the past, Bai Zhen only wanted to protect Hua Mu's safety and seldom had close contact with her. But today is different from the past. The two may spend more time together every day than they are apart, and the sentinel can't adapt to it all of a sudden.
Almost all of her friends are soldiers, and they always go straight. Even with the guide, there is no big defense between the same sex. But this is obviously not the case in the circle of noble ladies. The eldest lady pays more attention to etiquette. She has been scolded several times, and now she really does not know where the boundaries are.
When Bai Zhen asked, Hua Mu was stunned on the spot.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't want to offend you again to make you angry, but I'm not like you. I don't have the same upbringing as you, and I'm also very stupid. I don't know what kind of behavior is considered offensive in the eyes of the eldest lady..."
It's true that it's stupid, it's more annoying to say it's dull. But Hua Mu didn't like the white pillow classifying the two as you and us, and she didn't like her using the word offensive.
When did she say she was offended
"Why do you talk so much?"
Bai Zhen heard Hua Mu's displeasure, and closed her mouth sadly.
Hua Mu took her hand and circled herself, and said brokenly, "I didn't say that you offended me, you always think wildly."
"But you're not happy..."
"I'm not happy with love, can't I? I'm not happy every day."
White pillow thinks it is not, the eldest lady will only be unhappy in front of her.
"But I don't want you to be unhappy, I want you to be happy, if I make you unhappy..."
The sentinel's simple words rarely made Hua Mu feel a little moved - of course, only a little.
"I, I'll just be angry, can't I release the pressure when I'm angry? Oh, you are so long-winded, I didn't pursue it, why are you talking so much?"
The white pillow hugged her behind her, the warm breath blowing in her ears.
"That's because your lord has a lot."
Hua Mu was stunned!
Where on earth did her father and aunt find such a loyal, honest and committed guard? Shouldn't she be happier? But why can't you be happy
"You really think that? Don't you think I'm making trouble without reason?"
"how come… "
Hua Mu didn't want to talk to her anymore, and rubbed the calf of the white pillow with the back of her foot.
"Big, big lady?"
"What?"
"Why did you..."
"I like it, don't I?"
"No, no, no."
"Have I offended you?"
"of course not."
"Well, go to sleep."
Bai Zhen didn't know what Hua Mu wanted to say, but she didn't dare to ask more when she saw her eyes closed and she was ready to go to bed.
After thinking about it, she finally came to the conclusion that as long as the eldest lady is happy, it is not an offense.
"White pillow." Hua Mu suddenly opened her eyes at this moment.
"What's your order?"
"…I need to go to the toilet."
Hua Mu slept for a day and sweated for a day. When she was full and ready to sleep, she realized that she hadn't been to the toilet for a day today.
Fortunately, the wind and rain outside had stopped, and White Pillow carried her down to the beach to solve her physiological needs.
There is no cloud in the sky, and a waning moon hangs in the sky, making this night even more deserted. After the rainstorm, the beach was a mess, with broken branches and trees everywhere. Although the tide has receded, there is still a lot of rain pouring from the edge of the rainforest, washing the place where the two passed.
Looking at this masterpiece of nature, Hua Mu was really afraid. Fortunately, White Pillow found such a cave, otherwise she would not be just sick.
"Miss, let's go back to the south and take a look tomorrow."
"Um… "
Hua Mu did not forget the storm that overturned the boat, and the scene at this moment cast a shadow on her heart.
The two went back to the cave to rest after releasing their hands, speechless all night.
Hua Mu's fever has completely subsided, but the cough is not so fast, and the next day he wakes up and coughs non-stop. White pillow boiled mint water for her, packed up after breakfast, and the two were ready to go back to the south bank.
White pillow originally wanted to pick some more breadfruit, but Hua Mu tried her best to stop her because she was afraid that the vines on the cliff would not be strong after the wind and rain.
When passing through the estuary, Hua Mu found that the water source had indeed become turbid, and she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had prepared in advance. The two bamboos contained almost 100 liters of fresh water, enough to drink for a while, and maybe even hold on until the arrival of rescue.
The two returned a lot faster than when they came, and they had reached the mangrove area by noon. There are traces of tropical storms all along the way, but it can be found that the further south you go, the storm's impact is significantly smaller. When the two passed the mangrove forest and then arrived near the coconut grove, the surroundings looked like they had just experienced an ordinary rainstorm.
Hua Mu felt bad luck, "I didn't expect it to rain for so long, and it rained all over the island as soon as we went to the north."
There is water, and the fresh water is also in vain.
"Miss, we are actually just right this time, and the harvest is not small."
From White Pillow's point of view, it was a blessing to say that the first rain could be avoided in such a cave.
Hua Mu didn't take her comfort to heart - she only hoped that the two of them would not be so unlucky when it came to going back.
