Chapter 186
Chapter 186
Although the area of this swamp is large, it blocked the harassment of the demon fish, and it didn't take too long to fly unimpeded. It happened to be out of the swamp just before dark.
Li You and the others had said before they set off that they only followed them for a certain distance, and they planned to leave after they got out of the swamp, but seeing that the sky was getting dark now, and the risk factor of traveling overnight was high, and Jing Li and the others were going to leave. After spending the night here, I decided to make a partner together at night, and then set off at dawn tomorrow morning.
Adjacent to the swamp is a stone forest. There are too many obstacles in this terrain, and the line of sight is easily blocked. If someone sneaks up, they will easily fall into the encirclement.
Jing Li jumped onto a stone peak several feet high, stood on it to observe the surrounding terrain, pointed to the southeast direction, "Go over there."
Naturally, Cang Qi would not object, and Li You and the others followed without any objection.
There is a Banbi mountain in the southeast, the back of which is smooth and flat, perpendicular to the surface, as if someone had cut it with a single knife; Although there are many of them, the height is not more than half a meter. When you go up to the top of the slope and look down, you don't have to worry about those rocks blocking your sight.
If there is any abnormality, it is also convenient to find out at the first time, instead of waiting for the other party to get close, and then reacting later.
Cang Qi looked at the top of the slope, stood still on the edge of a flat rock, raised his chin at Jingli, and motioned for the latter to come over.
The rock is quite big, and it is no problem for one person to lie on it, let alone two people.
Now the sky has completely darkened, and the top of the slope has no trees except for a stone on the ground. It is very empty, and you can see the stars all over the sky when you look up. Illusion of stars.
"It looks like tomorrow will be a good weather." Jing Li looked at the stars, lowered his head and rummaged through the storage ring, "Is there anything you want to eat, brother?"
Seeing him take out two iron pots, Cang Qi subconsciously turned around to look at the pool on the back of the hillside, thinking whether to catch two fish from it.
Jing Li followed his gaze, "Brother, do you want to eat fish?"
Speaking of which, if he made fish-related dishes in the past, Cang Qi would move his chopsticks more. It seems that one's taste has nothing to do with whether he loses his memory or not.
Cang Qi prefers a light diet, so make a fish head tofu soup.
After picking among the ingredients in the reserve for a while, I took out two Xuanshui fish, chopped off the heads of the fish neatly and threw them into the water, and took out a sycamore plant, cut them into pieces and threw them in instead of tofu. Add some other good ingredients, cover the pot, and start working on other ingredients.
Li You and the others saw that Cang Qi chose the position on the top of the slope, so they built a nest near the top of the slope, because it was a downwind outlet, and when the cool night wind blew, all the aroma of the food above was blown down, attracting people. The gluttons in my stomach came out.
Li You smacked his lips and sniffed hard, "Senior Brother Jing Li, what are you cooking here? It smells so good."
The rest of the people couldn't help touching their stomachs. Although they said that they would not die of hunger without eating for a month, but they could smell it but couldn't eat it. body, indicating to the other party to find a way to solve it.
"It's useless to look at me." Li You twitched the corner of his mouth, speechless, "I don't have the skill of Senior Brother Jing Li."
Everyone despised, "You dare to do it, but we dare not eat it."
Li You scratched his head and finally understood that these guys asked him to be a soldier to scout the way.
Although I was a little embarrassed, the scent was really attractive, and the two senior brothers were not the kind of vicious people. Li You pretended to evade it, and ran up to the peak happily...
Seeing how many people there were, Jing Li gave them a bunch of meat marinated with seasonings, and finally developed into a circle of barbecue with everyone sitting around.
Li You put the piece of meat on the wooden fork up to his nose and smelled it, "Wow, this smells so good, did you add chopped wood gold flowers?"
Jing Li glanced at him in surprise, and nodded, his nose is quite sharp.
Li You chuckled, and put the meat on the fire again and turned it over.
At night, a group of people sit around the fire, drink, barbecue and chat, which feels a bit like a bonfire party.
After waiting for a while, Jing Li guessed that it was about the same time, got up to fill two bowls of fish soup and came back, the milky white fish soup was dyed a layer of amber by the light of the fire, which seemed to whet the appetite.
Jing Li handed one of the bowls to Cang Qi, seeing Li You and the others looking at him, he smiled and said, "There's still some in the pot, if you want to drink, go and fill it yourself."
Li You responded, and was about to get up, but he was caught by the hem of his clothes. Because he got up so fast, he was almost taken down and thrown into the fire. He turned his head and looked at the "culprit" beside him, before he had time to speak , was kicked by the other party calmly, knowing that there was something wrong, so he sat back to the original place, but moved his body closer to the side.
The disciple who kicked him hummed in his ear, "Drink your head! That soup looks like it was specially made by your senior brother for your senior brother. Why are you just making fun of it?"
Li You was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance in the direction of Cang Qi and the others, then stood up and glanced at the soup left in the pot, coughed dryly with some embarrassment, and did not mention the soup again.
Although the disciple deliberately lowered his volume when he spoke, as soft as a mosquito's snort, none of the monks present was a sharp-eyed generation, and the few who were also eager to move like Li You calmed down instantly.
Cang Qi glanced to the side, moved close to the edge of the bowl, which happened to block the raised corner of the mouth.
The only two people on the scene who didn't notice this undercurrent were Jing Li and the little girl from Guiyimen.
The little girl happened to be sitting next to Jing Li, her piece of barbecue was in the hands of her brother, and he did it for him, so the little girl tugged at Jing Li's sleeve, and stuffed two fruits into the latter's hand.
Jing Li looked down at the egg-sized purple fruit with three dark red spots on the pedicle, and was a little surprised, "Could this be the purple spider fruit?"
"Yeah." The little girl nodded, "I found it in the purple king spider's cave before." After thinking about it, she added, "It's so sweet!"
It's not a question of whether it's sweet or not, Jing Li is a little dumbfounded, this little girl and Zhizhi are not of the same type at all, she looks bigger than Zhizhi, but far less sophisticated than Zhizhi.
The purple spider fruit is the companion fruit of the purple king spider's favorite food, Yuqionghua, and it is a great tonic. Eating one is equivalent to the effect of a person's one-month cultivation.
He has only seen it in books, and this is the first time he has seen the real thing today.
Jing Li thanked him, turned around and stuffed one for Cang Qi.
Regardless of size, this purple spider fruit actually looks a bit like a large grape.Jing Li took the purple spider fruit in his hand and looked at it for a while, then heard a voice whispering in his ear, "It's really sweet."
Jing Li took a bite and blinked, "Hmm..."
How to describe the taste of this purple spider fruit, he thought it was like the kind of fruit with high sugar content, it tasted sweet, but he didn't expect that after biting it, it was like swallowing a mouthful of honey, it was so sweet...
Cang Qi, who had just been stuffed with a purple spider fruit, heard the movement, turned his head sideways, and saw a strange expression on Jing Li's face, and their eyes met.
Cang Qi: "?"
"It's so sweet..." Jing Li looked down at the half of the fruit left in his hand. Perhaps this fruit should not be bitten, and it might feel better to swallow it in one bite. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a warmth on his lips. , something warm and easy to touch.
Cang Qi leaned forward slightly, put one hand between the two of them, leaned over half sideways, lightly licked the plump lower lip in front of her eyes, and backed away after a while.
Seemingly unaware of the sudden silence around her, Cang Qi licked the corner of her lips, fell silent for a while, and commented, "Mm, so sweet."
Jing Li: "..."
The little girl stared wide-eyed, looked at Jing Li, then at Cang Qi, kept turning her head between the two, and was soon covered by her elder brother who was sitting beside her. "elder brother?"
"...Don't look at it, children."
The wooden fork on Li's right hand, which was holding the barbecue, fell into the fire with a "clack", and looked at his two senior brothers with a face full of ghosts, bewildered—so, is there such a relationship between the two senior brothers? .
Although the rest of the people were also surprised by the relationship between the two personal disciples of the Jiuhua Zongfeng master, after all, they didn't have much contact with these two people, so they weren't as surprised as Li You.
Sitting next to Li You, the one who kicked him before happened to be the tall and thin man who was almost crushed to death. The sparks from the barbecue that fell into the fire scalded the back of his hand, frowned, and stretched out his hand. The roasted meat that had already been covered with a layer of ashes was forked from the fire, looked up at the two members of the Jiuhua sect who looked diagonally, and silently slandered, this way of eating, can it not be sweet...
Looking away from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the stupid-looking fellow next to him who was also a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect, and kicked him again unceremoniously.
That kick was pretty hard, and of course, the effect was extraordinary.
After finally digesting the situation in front of him, the first thought that flashed through Li's right mind after finally recovering was - luckily he didn't drink that bowl of soup just now.
As soon as this idea came to his head, Li You found out in horror that Cang Qi suddenly turned around and looked over, his eyes darkened.
Li You's heart suddenly "thumped", and he was a little guilty. Although he had thought about it, but after all, he didn't drink, so the senior brother looked at him like this, and he was always under pressure...
A second later, even greater pressure appeared—Jing Li, who was also a little stiff at first, narrowed his eyes and looked over, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Li You: "!!!"
I beg the two brothers to give me a chance to explain! ! !
"Get up soon! You're going to die!" The tall and thin man slapped Li right on the back, so hard that he almost threw him into the fire.
Li You was crying, isn't he about to die... Well, what's the sound?
The sound of Xixisuosuo became louder and denser. Li You looked at both sides in doubt, and finally followed the eyes of the thin and tall man, regained his senses, and saw under the moonlight, a dark and dense thing was flying in front of him. Approaching their location at an extremely fast speed.
After seeing clearly what the black mass was, Li You felt that his scalp was going to explode.
"Why is this thing here?!"
