Master Xie said, "Master Duanmuci, I haven't brought the vegetables and potatoes yet."
Duanmu Ci's heart lightened when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Okay."
The two of them washed the vegetables and potatoes and ate them raw.
And it has always been like this during these days of getting along, with no intention of lighting a fire to cook.
Duanmuci would not, and had never had such an idea.
Duanmuci was responsible for all Xiefu's three meals a day, but did not interfere too much. Duanmuci's only request for him was to concentrate on practicing martial arts, and he was not willing to let Xiefu interfere too much in other matters.
The two of them ate raw vegetables like savages. Xie Fu watched her gently bite the raw potato chips and felt inexplicably sad. He always wanted to do something to repay her, at least let Master Duanmuci have a good meal.
I already had some ideas in my mind. Even though there is no meat, these raw vegetables can be transformed into some dishes, which is better than eating them monotonously raw.
Fu Xie looked towards Duanmu Ci and was about to speak, but Duanmu Ci seemed to feel Fu Xie's gaze coming from him, and for some reason turned away, avoiding looking at Fu Xie, and looked coldly at the scenery outside the cave.
Xie Fu's eyes naturally fell on Duanmu Ci's back, and what came into view was the loose Taoist robe. The Taoist robe was full of holes, and it was broken like a bead curtain.
If the bamboo threads like hair are caught in the seams, they would fall apart long ago.
Fu Xie couldn't believe how long she could wear this Taoist robe. He was afraid that it would not be long before it became a tattered piece of cloth draped around her body.
Xie Fu said: "Master Duanmuci, apart from practicing kung fu, can I spare an hour for free activities every day?"
"No! You are not allowed to do anything except practice." Duanmuci refused without hesitation.
Xie Fu explained: "I don't want to be lazy, I just want to spend some time and think of ways to improve our lives."
Duanmu Ci said: "What can you do to improve these barren mountains and plains? You don't have to support your family. You just concentrate on practicing."
Xie Fu said: "Who says it can't be improved? Now we grow our own crops and are self-sufficient. You don't have to search for food all over the mountains and fields and worry about whether you have a good meal or not. Isn't that an improvement?"
Duanmuci did not respond, but he had to admit in his heart that this was a change. Apart from martial arts, Xie Fu knew more than he did.
Seeing her loosening, Master Xie approached and said in a good voice: "Master Duanmuci, I just practice Kungfu every day, but even if I practice for a long time, I will feel dizzy. There is a saying that haste makes waste, I also need to
A good balance between work and rest.”
Duanmuci smiled: "You really have a lotus tongue."
Xie Fu came closer, his eyes full of pleading.
Duanmuci said: "If you have anything to say, just say it and don't get so close to me."
"OK?"
These three words were like a child begging for candy. Duanmuci was heartbroken and responded softly: "If you are distracted and neglect your practice for half an hour, I can't spare you."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Of course not."
People's nature is originally pure, but as they grow up, they are slowly stained by the world. They slowly hide themselves, and gradually they are only willing to show their innocent and childish side in front of the people closest to them.
From then on, Fu Xie would go out for half an hour every day. In order to prevent Duanmuci from taking back his half hour of freedom, Fu Xie would always come back on time within half an hour.
Slowly, he began to find some edible wild vegetables, including water shield, shepherd's purse, artemisia...
Duanmuci's self-sufficient vegetable garden gradually became richer.
On the other hand, Fu Xie used the mountain rocks to chisel out some things, including stone bowls, stone chopsticks, stone plates, and stone pots.
A stove was even built in front of the cave in order to make a fire for cooking.
At night, Fu Xie would secretly do some wood work and make some tables and chairs.
Life is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. There is no need to travel far, so there is no need to think about travel.
However, the food and housing were getting better and better, and the two of them were somewhat moving from a savage life to a farm life.
It is impossible to solve this problem in this deserted mountain forest.
Duanmu Ci secretly saw this in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, he secretly looked at Xie Fu with admiration.
That day Duanmuci saw Xie Fu find a flat rock, use his sword to flatten the surface of the rock, and then draw lines on it.
In the past, I could always tell what Xie Fu was doing from his fiddling, but today I couldn't tell it at all. When he saw Xie Fu drawing more and more lines on the surface of the rock, he asked: "Fu'er, what are you doing?"
Are you making a chessboard?"
When Fu Xie heard this, he said happily: "Master Duanmuci, can you play chess? How about I make a chessboard so that we can play chess in our free time and it won't be too boring."
Duanmuci's face turned cold: "No!"
Xie Fu said with displeasure: "You are so boring. You only know how to practice martial arts. Don't people have other pursuits besides practicing martial arts?"
"What did you say?"
As soon as Duanmuci finished speaking, Jin Guang took action, and the rock that Fu Xie was carving was instantly cut into two pieces.
Xie Fu's expression changed and he stood up suddenly and looked at Duanmu Ci.
Duanmuci raised his chest and looked coldly: "Do you want to fight with me? I just want to test where your martial arts skills are."
Xie Fu said: "Master Duanmuci, you have misunderstood. I don't want to make a chessboard, I want to make utensils for making noodles."
Duanmuci asked in surprise: "Noodles?"
Xie Fu said: "Forget it, the time is up, I'm going to practice."
When Duanmuci saw that he had really left, he was a little annoyed and said, "I will make an exception and give you an hour today to see if you are lying to me."
Xie Fu said displeasedly: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Duanmuci did not argue with Fu Xie, and flew directly to a rock. The golden light flashed in his hand a few times, and a square rock landed in front of Fu Xie.
Duanmuci flew back: "Get it!"
Xie Fu said: "This is an exception for you, so don't lie about it."
Duanmuci was amused: "You can cheat on me, but when have I ever cheated on you?"
Soon, Fu Xie made a series of scratches on the flat rock, took another yam, chopped it into pieces in the stone bowl, filtered out some large pieces of dregs, and added the thick yam.
Potato juice was poured on the dense scratches.

Xie Fu looked at Duanmu Ci speechlessly.
Duanmuci asked: "What? I asked you about the noodles? Are you fooling me again?"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "If you put this thing in a warm and humid place, it will turn into noodles in about three days."
Duanmuci was surprised: "Really?"
Xie Fu smiled and said, "We'll see in three days."
It's not that Duanmuci didn't believe Xie Fu, he was just curious: "Is this how noodles are made?"
Xie Fuying said: "It's not that complicated, but the current conditions are limited, and there is no solution."
Duanmu Ci said calmly: "Okay, let's go practice."
Xie Fu said loudly: "The hour has not come yet."
Duanmuci said coldly: "Then what else do you want to do?"
"You're lying. You promised to make an exception and give me an hour, but you broke your promise."
Duanmu Ci suddenly felt funny: "That's all."
After saying that, he turned around and left. After walking for a while, he looked back and saw Fu Xie fiddling with something again.
Just quietly watching Xie Fu playing with it attentively, after a while, he turned around and left.
Although Fu Xie said that it would turn into noodles in three days, Duanmuci would go and take a look every day. Three days later, he still couldn't see anything. It was not until the fourth day that the potato juice solidified into a soft network.
Duanmuci was very happy, but he didn't know what to do next, so he immediately went to find Xie Fu.
"Fu'er, the noodles are ready, come and take a look."
Master Xie was practicing Kung Fu with his legs crossed. He opened his eyes and said, "Master Duanmu Ci, I am practicing Kung Fu."
"There's no rush at this moment."
Duanmuci said, pulling Xie Fu away directly.
Xie Fu looked surprised and his heart trembled as he felt Duanmuci's soft hand tightly grasping his palm.
This feeling of being held by her so intimately made him wish that this journey would never end.
When he came to the place where the noodles were placed, Duanmuci pointed and said, "Fu'er, you see the noodles are ready, what should we do next?"
Xie Fu was not surprised. He pulled out his sword and said, "Cut off the joints so that they become strips."
Duanmuci smiled and said, "Is it that simple?"
Xie Fu asked: "How complicated does Master Duanmuci think it should be?"
Duanmuci said: "Okay, it's none of your business, go back and practice."
Xie Fu suddenly felt like he had been used and abandoned, but he did not dare to refute anything, so he turned around and left unhappy.
"Fu'er."
Xie Fu turned around immediately when he heard the sound.
Duanmuci smiled brightly and said, "Master, I'll give it to you later in the evening."
It can be seen that she is very happy and happy.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Master, the food below must be delicious."
Duanmuci looked at Fu Xie's expectant look, but felt a little worried in his heart, and said softly: "Well... this is my first time. If it doesn't taste good, don't be disappointed."
Xie Fu shook his head and said, "It must be delicious."
"Go practice."
After Xie Fu walked a few steps, he turned around and said, "Master Duanmuci, you treat me so well."
"You are my disciple, of course I will treat you well."
Before it was time to eat, Duanmuci was already eager to prepare. He prepared firewood in front of the stove, set up a stone pot, and poured water.
Then he sat in front of the stove and waited until dusk arrived.
From having difficulty finding food to being able to grow one's own food, from eating raw vegetables to being able to have a cooked meal.
Now that she can eat noodles, she looks forward to when the steaming noodles are brought to Fu Xie, he will be as happy as a child, and he will gobble it up...
Duanmuci felt that the time was a bit long, and the slowly beating heart felt very good.
Air, breath, sunshine, soft grass, a real feeling of being alive.
In this illusion, she felt a peace and fulfillment that she could not experience in the world.
Unconsciously, her figure was drawn into a long shadow by the sunset that was gradually setting in the west.
Duanmuci came back to her senses and started to light a fire to boil water. The flames in the stove suddenly turned her porcelain-white face into a bright red. She was not the lofty Taoist fairy, but a peasant woman in the world.
She threw the potato noodles into the stone pot and stirred them gently with stone chopsticks as she imagined.
Soon the originally long potato noodles began to break, and the originally clear water began to turn yellow and turbid.
Duanmuci was a little panicked, but didn't know what to do. The image of Fu Xie's disappointed look appeared in his mind.
Just when Duanmuci was in a hurry, her back was gently pressed against a strong chest, and a man's voice rang in her ears: "Master Duanmuci, don't be nervous."
