Fang Yan picked up a rabbit leg from the pot, took a bite and found that the meat was too salty.
The hunter had already applied salt when he dried the rabbit, and Fang Yan had just thrown in a handful of salt, making this pot of "Ambush from All Sides" very spicy.
Fang Yan glanced at Fenghuang and saw that she was eating heartily as if she was completely unaware.
"It's salty." Fang Yan said.
Meat is salty, and tears are salty too.
Therefore, Phoenix has not yet been able to tell whether the meat is salty or the tears dripping on the meat are salty.
After hearing Fang Yan's words, Fenghuang wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said, "Have a drink to calm it down."
While speaking, he handed the wine barrel in his hand to Fang Yan.
Without cups, they could only drink from the mouth of the barrel with their mouths. They often did this in Yanziwu, and they still do it now. Of course, to outsiders, this is no different from indirect kissing.
Fang Yan took the barrel and took a big gulp, then said with a smile, "I've tried all kinds of dishes from all over the world, but the one I want to eat the most is this ambush dish that we created ourselves."
Phoenix nodded and said, "Yes. I'm just afraid I won't be able to eat it in the future----"
"How could that be?" Fang Yan said with a smile, "Whenever you want to eat, I'll make it for you----"
"What if you and Ye Wenrou got married?"
"Then I'll do it for you secretly." Fang Yan said.
Phew-----
Phoenix narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "If other men were to answer this question, they would definitely brag about how high their status is in the family, and that their words are final and their wives have no say at all -"
"Only married men dare to do this, since their wives have already been tricked back home." Fang Yan said with a smile, "If an unmarried man dares to say this, which woman would be willing to marry him? You have to look at the long term."
Phoenix looked at Fang Yan tenderly and said, "You always think differently from others."
"No. Apart from being more handsome than Li Xiaotian and the others, I am similar to them in other aspects - drinking big barrels of wine, eating big bowls of meat, and bragging loudly. It's a man's nature, you know."
"Are they all right?" Phoenix asked.
"Not bad." Fang Yan said with a smile. "They are all fine. Zhu Zidan is undergoing special training in Beihai. It is said that the family-inherited 'Universal Fist' that has been stagnant has shown signs of another breakthrough. If he breaks through again, he will become the second candidate of the younger generation of the Zhu family to enter the 'Universal Formation'. Li Xiaotian is doing business with his brother in Yanjing. With the care of the Maple Leaf Society, his business is booming. Ruan Qian has the hardest job, working as a confidential secretary beside Ye Daoling. Although this kid keeps complaining, his personality has become much more mature and stable. "
It is natural for friends to meet and talk about each other's friends.
Zhu Zidan, Li Xiaotian, Ruan Qian and others are all good friends of Fang Yan and Fenghuang, and they have many common memories. It was with the help or cover of these friends that Fang Yan launched an attack on Fenghuang.
The attack was fierce, but in the end, the Phoenix was taken down by Bai Xiu, the lone ranger. This made everyone feel sad and disappointed. Later, everyone went to the back mountain together, drank more than ten pounds of Shaodaozi and ate a pot of Ten Sides of Ambush. They cried for a while and watched Fang Yan brag for several hours. The pain in their hearts was slightly relieved.
"I haven't seen them for a long time. I really miss them." Fenghuang said with a smile. "If they knew I became a nun, would they be shocked?"
"An Xiaoxiao----" Fang Yan shouted angrily. He didn't like to hear Fenghuang talking about this topic.
"They will definitely be shocked. Especially Ruan Qian, he has the softest personality and likes to cry. If he knew that I became a nun, he might cry."
"No one wants to hear the news----"
"Fang Yan, just now at the Lotus Temple you said that you owed me a face-to-face confession and I owed you a face-to-face rejection - now, can you confess to me again?" Fenghuang looked at Fang Yan expectantly, holding the rabbit leg tightly with her right hand, fearing that Fang Yan would reject her rude request.
Fang Yan looked at Feng Huang seriously and said, "I like you. I have liked you for many years. For a very long time, I felt that I couldn't live without you. I liked you until I saw you being held in Bai Xiu's arms while enjoying the snow in the village. After seeing that scene, I decided not to like you anymore. But while I was thinking this, I liked you for many more years."
Fenghuang's eyes were once again filled with tears, and she sobbed, "I really don't want to refuse-----"
Then, she shook her head desperately, throwing away the ripples in her heart, and said, "But I still have to refuse - Fang Yan, I'm sorry. I can't accept you. I couldn't accept it before, and I can't accept it in the future."
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "You are so cruel. You rejected me twice at once. I won't do such a thing again in the future."
Fenghuang was once again amused by Fang Yan. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I will never let you do such a thing again."
She reached out and snatched the barrel from Fang Yan's hand, then gulped down a big gulp and said, "When did you start to dislike me? Until you met Ye Wenrou?"
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "You should know that at that time I only had you in my eyes. I felt that a hundred Ye Wenrou were not as good as you. I even did stupid things like writing love letters to Ye Wenrou in the name of Bai Xiu. I felt that if I did that, you would be mine alone. "
"What now?"
"Now, Ye Wenrou has replaced you back then." Fang Yan did not hide anything and said it very frankly.
He would not hurt one woman just to comfort another. That would be unfair to Ye Wenrou.
"Is she nice to you?"
"good."
"I know she treats you very well." Fenghuang said with red eyes: "To be honest, I don't care about all the women in Yanziwu, but I have a natural hostility towards Ye Wenrou - even though you didn't like her at that time and always said bad things about her in front of me. But the more you said, the more worried I became. I was worried that you would like her and that she would replace my place in your heart."
"So, every time I see you and her walking together, I get really angry. Every time that happens, I pretend to run into you two by chance, deliberately show how affectionate we are, and say something to deliberately provoke her anger - I know it's stupid and childish to do this, but I always can't help doing it -"
"Fang Yan, I'm not a smart woman, nor am I a determined woman. I don't see many things as clearly as Ye Wenrou. I'm trapped in my own web, entangled tightly by one silk net after another. I can't move my hands and feet, and even breathing feels extremely difficult. I used to think about this question often. How nice it would be if I could not care about anything. I used to like reading romance novels very much. The rich ladies in the novels all resolutely elope with their loved ones to the ends of the earth. I thought at the time, how nice it would be if I could do that. But I just can't make such a decision. "
"I waited day after day, wasted year after year. When the two sides needed to make a choice, when the conflict was about to break out, I did such a stupid thing again. Fang Yan, you don't know how ashamed and embarrassed I was the second you pulled off the veil on my face. At that time, I really wanted to stab myself to death with a sword. All my choices were wrong choices, and all my steps were on the wrong beat. I am the most stupid and cowardly woman in the world."
"An Xiaoxiao-----"
"Fang Yan, do you still remember the question I asked you on Yijian Peak?"
"I remember." Fang Yan nodded. "You asked me if I knew why you were called Phoenix."
"I named it Phoenix myself." Phoenix said. "When I was a kid, I read a novel about Phoenix. It said Phoenix is the messenger of happiness in the world. Every five hundred years, it will bear all the unhappiness, hatred and grievances accumulated in the world, throw itself into the blazing fire and burn itself, exchanging the end of life and beauty for the peace and happiness of the world. Similarly, after the flesh has undergone great pain and suffering, it can be reborn in a better body."
"Fang Yan, I can't wait for five hundred years. I can't even hold on for five days. I want to take the unhappiness and hatred I carry on my shoulders and throw myself into the raging fire to burn myself - I want happiness, I want to be reborn in Nirvana." Fenghuang reached out and held Fang Yan's hand, saying: "This time, let me listen to my inner choice, let me make a decision for myself - I know I was wrong in the first half of my life, let me choose this time -"
Fenghuang stood up, walked to Fang Yan, reached out and gently stroked Fang Yan's hair, and said, "I will burn incense and pray for you in front of the Buddha every day, and bless you with a peaceful and happy life."
The Phoenix is gone!
The firewood was burning brightly, the broth was fragrant, but three catties of strong liquor were drunk clean.
Fang Yan held the empty wine barrel, poured out the last bottle of wine, and threw the barrel far away.
Bang----
The plastic barrel hit the rock and bounced back, falling into the stream and floating downstream. No one knew where it would end up.
At first I just believed
The great thing is emotion
Finally, I couldn't see clearly
Destiny is strong
-----------------
Love is like a song, hate is also like a song.
Goodbye, An Xiaoxiao!
Goodbye, my first love!
