Chapter 39 Continued
The red shadow was also stunned for a moment, but upon closer inspection, both of them were happy.
The person who came turned out to be Li Hongxiu, wearing the same red skirt, carrying a bag behind her back, and holding a long sword in her hand.
Seeing Li Ye in a daze, Li Hongxiu smiled. He wandered up Tianshan Mountain and searched for a whole day. Finally, he found Li Ye before dark. He was pleasantly surprised and hugged Li Ye.
Li Ye dodged Li Hongxiu's hands and said, "Master Li, if you don't enjoy your life in the city, why are you doing it in this barren mountain?"
Hearing Li Ye's words, Li Hongxiu became angry and came over to grab Li Ye's ears. Naturally, Li Ye wouldn't do what she wanted. He jumped forward and entered the woods. He turned back and looked at Li Hongxiu: "What do you want?"
Don’t want to go together?”
Li Hongxiu saw this and hurriedly followed her, saying as she walked: "Li Ye, you heartless guy, my Yu'er is so sad because of you that you had so much fun on the mountain."
Li Ye glanced at Li Hongxiu behind him, didn't reply, and just walked forward.
The two of them walked one behind the other, walking through the woods in a blink of an eye, and arrived outside the wooden house on the edge of the cliff.
Two figures, one large and one small, far behind them saw Li Ye returning to his residence and stopped following him. They turned around and headed towards the mountain.
Li Ye entered the wooden house, put down the bamboo basket on his back and the long sword in his hand, asked Li Hongxiu to sit down, walked towards the cave, and opened the stone door. Li Ye wanted to fetch water to boil water for tea, and would wait until his husband came back.
Cook rice.
Watching Li Ye lighting a fire and boiling water, Li Hongxiu said, "Li Ye, where is your master? Why don't you see anyone else?" After speaking, he rubbed his belly with his hands.
Li Ye saw this and said, "Master and I were separated. He went to pick medicine, and I picked mushrooms, so naturally we are not together."
He took out the remaining fruit from the bamboo basket and handed it to Li Hongxiu: "Eat this first, and we will cook later when Mr. comes back."
Li Hongxiu took the fruit in her hand and liked it. She thought it was not in vain that I love you so much. After taking a bite, she felt the fragrance in her mouth and the juice went straight to her heart. She waved her hand and said, "Thank you. Is there anything else?"
?”
Li Ye glanced at her with disgust and said, "There are many on the mountain, go find them yourself." After that, he lowered his head and poured hot water into the pot to warm the pot, wash the tea and cups, and prepare to make some tea to comfort himself.
He took three cups, placed them on the stone platform, poured boiling water over them, poured in tea and washed them again.
He looked at Li Hongxiu and said: "Master Li, you are coming to the mountain, do you plan to follow us to practice in Tianshan Mountain? Only my husband and I live in this cave."
That means, you are a woman and it is inconvenient.
Li Hongxiu glared at him and said viciously: "I can live wherever I want. If you don't believe me, wait until your husband comes back and ask him."
Li Ye didn't answer, he just added water to the pot and boiled it again.
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye, thought for a while and said, "Little guy, have you learned any skills since you have been in Tianshan for so long?"
Li Ye shook his head, pointed at the scriptures carved by the floor owner and said, "Not yet, I have been busy carving scriptures on the floor these days."
"Why are you carving scriptures on stone slabs? Are you stupid?"
"You are stupid. Sir said this is the basis for practicing swordsmanship. You must practice it well."
Li Hongxiu looked at him and nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said: "It seems that you are doing well in Tianshan Mountain. You have even built this wooden house. Do you plan to live in the mountain for a long time?"
Li Ye shook his head, looked at her and replied: "You have to ask sir about this. I will obey your arrangements in everything."
"Well, it seems that your husband is very kind to you and thinks so thoughtfully." Li Hongxiu picked up the cup and blew lightly.
"How pleasant it is to have a guest coming down from the mountain!" The gentleman was still in the woods, and his voice had already reached the wooden house.
Li Hongxiu was startled, thinking that her enemy was coming, so she got out of the wooden house and went out to greet him.
Li Ye did not follow Li Hongxiu around, but poured hot water into the three cups as usual, and poured hot tea to wash the cups. The husband was back, and it was time to take a sip of hot tea.
As soon as Li Hongxiu came out of the wooden house, she saw her husband holding a wolf in each hand and a bamboo basket on his back. He rushed forward to help.
The husband also saw Li Hongxiu, smiled at her from a distance, walked to the wooden house, threw the two wolves on the ground, took off his shoes, entered the wooden house, and put down the bamboo basket on his back.
"Wow, we have some game tonight. It's been a long time since I've eaten game from the Tianshan Mountains." Li Hongxiu looked at the wolf on the ground and exclaimed.
"Do you like it, Mr. Li? I'll bake it for you later," Tiansheng said with a smile.
The husband went to the cave to get some water to clean himself, then came back and took off his shoes and entered the wooden house.
Li Hongxiu and Li Ye also returned to the house.
Inviting Li Hongxiu to sit down, the gentleman picked up the hot tea poured by Li Ye, blew a breath, and tasted it slowly. He had also worked hard along the way. The two wolves added up to nearly three hundred kilograms, and they hurried back through the mountain road.
It's not easy either.
Li Hongxiu also picked up the tea cup in front of her, took a sip, and said with surprise on her face: "Li Ye, why is this tea different from the tea I drink in the city? Is there some good tea secretly hidden?"
Li Ye poured snow water from the bucket and added it. He didn't reply, but just gave her a disgusted look.
Mr. Daoshi smiled and answered Li Hongxiu's topic, saying: "The water on the mountain comes from the melted snow on Tianshan Mountain. It is naturally a hundred times better than the water in the city."
After glancing at Li Ye, the gentleman drank all the tea in the cup and said, "I met a pack of wolves on the mountain. I killed two of them. I skinned them and laid them down on the chair here. Let's have barbecue tonight."
When Li Ye heard this, he was also happy in his heart. He was still a child after all. He could grill meat, so it was naturally more delicious than boiled dried meat.
"Sir, let's finish drinking this tea and then go clean the meat."
The gentleman nodded and added a piece of pine wood to the stove.
Li Hongxiu looked at the two masters and apprentices, her face a little red, and said softly: "Yu'er went back to Sifang City with her mother. I'm not used to it when she left. I have nothing to do, so I just want to go up the mountain."
Came to come and have fun with you."
After saying that, she lowered her head and just looked at the tea in the cup. After all, she was still a woman.
The gentleman paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Life in this mountain is hard. If you don't mind it, you can live here for a few days. There are many stone platforms in the cave. You can ask Li Ye to help you lay them. There are no beds in this wooden house outside the cave.
If you don't mind, you can just put a quilt on the spot, and we'll clean it from time to time."
Li Hongxiu's face turned red and she replied softly: "It's okay, I'm used to being wild. I haven't been to Tianshan Mountains yet, so I just want to have some fun with you."
Li Ye tilted his little head, looked at his husband, and then at Li Hongxiu.
He said: "I fell asleep today. There are still many mushrooms on the slope, and I haven't looked for the Ganoderma lucidum in the forest yet. You can follow me tomorrow."
After saying that, he poured hot tea into their cups, put down the pot, stood up, and walked out of the house.
He looked over the gray wolf on the ground. It was bigger than him. He took out a knife from his waist and wanted to skin it, but he didn't know where to start. He squatted on the ground in a daze.
Touching the fur on the thick wolf skin, I thought it was good. I could peel it off and nitrate it, and it would be very warm when I lay on the chair.
The gentleman drank all the tea in the cup, came out and looked at Li Ye who was in a daze, walked over and squatted down, lifted up a wolf leg, and said: "You can skin a wolf from the head first, or you can start from the feet first."
"You go to the forest and cut some branches, then build a rack and put the barbecue on it. I'll peel it, and you can learn slowly from now on."
Li Hongxiu came over and said, "Li Ye, I'll go with you."
Li Ye glanced at Li Hongxiu strangely, said nothing, exchanged knives with his husband, turned around, and walked into the woods.
Li Hongxiu followed behind, but the blush still lingered on her face.
The gentleman held Li Ye's knife in one hand and lifted the wolf's leg with the other, intending to start skinning it.
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu who was following him, and couldn't help but ask: "If you don't follow me, peel off the wolf skin, and follow me into the forest, I won't be afraid of getting your skirt dirty."
Li Hongxiu was furious, and she used all her strength to catch up with Li Ye, holding his ears and saying, "Do your work honestly and don't mind my business! Do you believe I will take care of you?"
Li Ye used his strength to break free, ran all the way into the forest, and wielded his husband's knife to chop off the cedar branches.
Li Hongxiu followed suit and wanted to chop down the tree.
Li Ye was startled and said: "It's just roasting meat. There is no need to chop down trees. Just let them go and chop some branches."
Li Hongxiu was stunned. He didn't expect Li Ye to have this idea. After thinking it made sense, he followed him to find some branched cedars to chop.
The two of them cut some branches and picked up some dry firewood from the forest. They hugged each other and returned to the hut on the edge of the rock cliff.
Li Ye picked up a few thicker branches, built a herringbone frame, and cut off another branch to use for wearing wolf meat.
The husband had finished skinning a gray wolf, fetched water from the hole, cleaned the wolf meat, and was rubbing salt on it. He looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a smile: "We will cook the meat in a while, and we will cook a pot of mushrooms at the same time."
Soup, the mushrooms in Tianshan are more delicious than those in Fengyun City."
"That's right, you are lucky to be able to eat the wolves and pickled meat that Mr. himself killed." Li Ye interjected.
Put up the pine branches, light the fire, and wait for it to burn into charcoal for a while.
Li Ye went into the house and took out his bamboo basket, poured it down on the ground, looked at his husband and said, "Sir, we will only eat a little of the soup today, and the rest must be dried, right?"
The gentleman looked at Li Ye pouring out mushrooms of different colors and thought to himself: There should be only one kind of mushroom on the grassland on the hillside. How come there are different colors?
Because Li Hongxiu was there, he didn't ask Li Ye in detail and said, "Eat a little, clean up the rest, and spread it on the floor at the door. After a few days, dry it and put it back in the hole."
Li Ye also thought to himself, how did his husband pick up mushrooms of different colors on the hillside? Both of them did not ask more questions because Li Hongxiu was there. But they did not know that many of the mushrooms in the bamboo basket came from the mountain.
The little girl put it in.
Li Hongxiu came to help. This was also a novel thing for her.
This was the first time for her, who had never touched Yang Chun Shui, to collect mushrooms. It was new.
The gentleman wiped his hands, walked over, looked through all the mushrooms carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right, this is your first time picking up mushrooms, and you didn't find any poisonous ones. Remember these signs, and you'll pick them up again in the future."
Li Hong, who was packing the mushrooms, suddenly opened her sleeves and mouth. After a while, she said: "Are these mushrooms poisonous? Why didn't I know?"
Li Ye and his husband looked at Li Hongxiu together. After a while, the husband finally spoke and said: "There is a lot of food in the mountains. The brighter and more beautiful these mushrooms are, the less edible they are. If you eat them randomly, you will be poisoned."
It can kill people if it's serious."
Li Hongxiu was stunned. It turned out to be true. It seemed that there were many things in the mountains that he didn't know. He had to learn from his husband.
She lowered her head, thought for a while, looked at her husband and said, "Hongxiu has never been to Tianshan Mountain. I don't know many of these things. I need your husband to teach me more in the future." As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned red again.
Li Ye was amused and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will teach you if you don't want me to teach you. It's free and I don't charge you."
Li Hongxiu turned back and glared at him, and said: "When I came up the mountain, I went to your house. Your father and mother asked me to keep a good watch on you after I went up the mountain."
Li Ye looked back at him and smiled: "I don't believe it. My parents naturally want me to listen to my husband. How can they want me to listen to you?"
Li Hongxiu got angry, stepped forward and kicked him, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, I can deal with you now, even if it's not for your parents, I can always do it for Wushuang and Yu'er, right?"
Li Ye was stunned, staring at her blankly and not knowing what to say.
