Chapter 706: Green flowers and peach blossoms(1/2)

Yun Rong sat on a branch of a tree, squinting at the gradually dimming sky, and yawned lazily.

The sun sets and the sky fades.

It is said that cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides.

But in Xiaozhoushan, there are no four seasons of farming and harvesting.

This place has lots of sunshine and rain, and it belongs to Penglai.

Although it is said to be an ordinary mountain, it is actually different from the human world.

It was spring at that time, the rice in the fields had matured in large areas, and the breeze was blowing in the mountains.

The golden waves are surging, and the ears of wheat are swaying, like golden waves, rising and falling one after another.

The sky is gradually fading, and the golden wheat is gradually becoming bleak and dim in the dusk. The wind is chilling, adding to the sadness.

Yun Rong untied the Xue Xue Sword and placed it between his legs. He leaned against the big tree with his back and rested his head on his arms, yawning continuously.

At this time, a stone hit the big tree behind her.

Yun Rong lowered her gaze and saw a wild child with rough and dark skin holding a pile of stones in his arms and throwing them at her.

There were still two pieces of unwiped green snot hanging under his nose, and he looked at Yun Rong with disdain.

But his eyes kept stealing glances at the jujubes on the tree.

"My father said that you are a lazy woman who doesn't like farm work. You hide in a tree and sleep every day. Do you know that you will eat all the dates on the jujube tree by yourself?"

Yun Rong blinked and asked with a smile: "Does this jujube tree belong to your family?"

The naughty kid was startled and said, "No."

Yun Rong said: "Since it's not from your family, what does it have to do with you if I eat it all?"

The child's face turned red from suppressing it, and he raised his head high: "I won't allow you to eat! All eight-year-old children in the village know that they have to work to have food. You are such a grown-up, why are you still so lazy?"

Yun Rong put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I'm not lazy. Climbing trees is very tiring."

As she said that, she glanced at the child and saw his purpose: "What? You want me to teach you to climb a tree?"

The child's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the stone in his arms. The arrogance and unruliness on his face disappeared, and he was actually a bit shy and expectant: "Is that okay?"

Yun Rong said confidently: "Of course not. If I teach you how to climb trees, I will pick all the dates here for you. What will I fill my stomach with in the future?"

The child burst into tears and was so bullied by her that she shook her nose and ran back towards home.

Yun Rong smiled and shook his head, reaching out to pick a date.

Although I was hungry, I was still hurt after eating dates for four whole days.

She was thinking about getting some bananas or something from the wild monkeys in the forest at the entrance to the village next door.

Just thinking that her temperament was very different from that of her junior brother, she had not been welcomed by little animals since she was a child.

Not to mention those monkeys and orangutans, even the most common cats and dogs are unwilling to get close to her.

She is good at dealing with swords, but she is not good at dealing with these living creatures.

Yun Rong sighed at the setting sun, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

The dusk on the horizon dyed the entire sky red, and the entire western sky was burned red by the setting sun.

The sunset brings the lotus back from the hoeing, the smoke rises from the yellow beams, the fields gather at dusk, and the shepherd boy riding the cow returns playing the flute. The low and bleating sounds form an extraordinarily peaceful and far-reaching rhythm in this mountainous countryside.

Thousands of lights were lit in the low-lying villages located in different places. It was difficult to see farmers on the field roads due to the darkening night.

The lantern at the door of someone's house was overturned and rolled up, and a few dogs barked from time to time in the sandy alley.

The mortals here live next to the fairy mountains. They only know that the land and water here are fertile and the seasons are good. But they don't know that in the old mountains outside Xiaozhoushan, real immortals live.

There is no immortality in this paradise.

The autumn water and the sky have the same color.

The late night was extremely quiet, and there was no sound of cicadas chirping at night. Mountain peaks stacked up in the distance, and the long howling of wolves could be heard from time to time.

Rustling, rustling...

Yun Rong's ears suddenly twitched.

She heard a slight sound suddenly coming from under the jujube tree. It was very light, like the sound of jujubes being smashed into the fluffy soil.

Then there was a crackling sound of building firewood.

Click...

The firewood was lit, and the crackling sound of burning wood disturbed the peace of the night.

Not long after, the faint aroma of meat floated in the air.

Yun Rong opened his eyes in surprise, feeling a little strange in his heart. He leaned over and took a clear look at the surprising scene under the tree. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, full of strangeness.

Is it not surprising?

Under the tree, there was a fire set up, with strings of crucian carp and river shrimp tied up with wooden branches and grilled there. It was actually a... cat?

Yun Rong looked left and right, and after confirming that he was in Xiaozhoushan and not Fengzhi Island, the surprise in his eyes deepened.

Is this a little guy who ran away from some nook and cranny at the foot of a mountain? He was so excited in the middle of the night that he was actually grilling fish and shrimps in this remote place in the countryside?

Yun Rong changed his position and lay on the jujube tree, looking at the little white cat.

There is also a circle of smoky gray hair on the round and fat head. The cuteness is comparable to that of the demon king mink in Fengzhi Mountain.

Several grilled fish in the bonfire were browned and crispy, and the cat hooked its paws to grab the grilled fish in the fire pit.

Unexpectedly, a gust of evil wind blew up from the south, blowing the burning bonfire sideways, and the hair on the cat's outstretched paw was instantly burnt to a bald black patch.

"Meow————————" The claws that were stretched out quickly retracted, and the cat meowed fiercely.

Yun Rong was unkindly amused and laughed out loud, "I said you cats shouldn't eat all the small fish and shrimps raw. I can light a fire here and roast them in the wild at night, and I won't be afraid of killing you."

The hair all over my body was on fire."

Seeing that the fish and shrimp were about to be burnt, the stupid cat was still squatting there and watching helplessly, looking pitiful.

No matter how hard-hearted Yun Rong was, she couldn't stand it anymore. She jumped down from the jujube tree, stretched out her long white palms, took out two skewers of fish and shrimp from the campfire, and handed them to Mao'er.

The white cat was not afraid of food either. He sniffed it, grabbed one of the fish and shrimps in one mouthful, and then pushed the other grilled fish to Yun Rong with his paws.

Yun Rong raised his eyebrows lightly.

Oh, what a generous cat.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yun Rong, who has never known the meaning of politeness, did not refuse, found a clean place to sit down, and patiently peeled off shrimp shells and fish bones.

I thought a cat's craftsmanship could be so good.

Unexpectedly, the shrimp meat is tender and the fish skin is crispy as soon as you take it into your mouth. It leaves a fragrant aroma on your teeth and cheeks.

Yun Rong enjoyed the cat's food without any worries.

How could a bunch of fish and shrimp fill her stomach? She dug the empty skewers in her hand into the soil and looked at the small skewers that were roasting in the campfire.

At this time, the evil wind had stopped, and the cat was no longer afraid of being burned by the fire. He held out fish and shrimp skewers with his two paws, shaking his beard and blowing the hot air.

Smelling the aroma of food in the air, Yun Rong couldn't help but lick her lips, but in the end she couldn't bear to beg for food from a cat.

As an adult herself, and a well-known figure in the world, there is no limit for her to compete with a child for eating jujubes in this small mountain village. An ordinary person would not be able to do such a thing.

But Yun Rong is not an ordinary person. It is her own ability to compete with children for food. She does not blush.

But it's really shameful to worry about a cat's dried fish.

Who knows, that cat is more generous than she imagined.

After cooling the small fish and shrimps, he used his small fangs to shave the fish bones and peel off the shrimp shells very carefully.

Then he lifted his tail and brought a large handful of dried fish and shrimps in his paws to her.

Yun Rong was greatly surprised: "For me?"

The white cat shook his beard and looked at his little face, he seemed to be smiling.

That small nose and small mouth don't have the serious and angry look of an ordinary cat with a droopy mouth.

Normally, Yun Rong would never believe that a cat could smile so brightly.

Yun Rong sat on the ground with her hands on her knees. For a moment, she was not sure that all the food was for her, and she was too embarrassed to reach out to take it.

She tentatively reached her head and took out a small dried fish in its claws.

Well, it tastes good and the heat is just right.

The kitten showed no sign of being stingy in protecting its food, and did not retract its paws. Its tail was swaying behind its back, and it seemed to be in a good mood.

After Yun Rong was relieved and finished one small dried fish, he also ate two river shrimps.

Then there is a small dried fish and two river shrimps.

The fish and shrimp on the skewer were gradually empty. Yun Rong took the last small dried fish on the skewer and suddenly stopped when he poked his head out.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the round-faced kitten in front of her. She realized that she had unknowingly put her hands on the ground, and the posture with her head stretched out finally made her feel something was wrong.
