“The time is just right, it’s time to start dinner!”
Mo Wen lowered his head and glanced at the iron pot, which was emitting an alluring aroma.
"I won't be cooking today. I'm cooking cured rice. The vegetables and rice are all ready..." Mo Wen opened the lid of the pot and said.
"Well...there is still one last step left..."
"What process is missing? Aren't they all cooked? It's very fragrant!" Lin Lele swallowed hard while looking at the bacon dotted on the white rice.
"Preserved rice without adding soy sauce is soulless. It needs to be enhanced with chopped green onions to enhance the flavor!"
Mo Wen poured soy sauce on the rice, then sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, and stirred it up with a spatula.
The sausage is shiny and red, the bacon is oily but not greasy, and it is embellished with white rice and green scallions, which is extremely tempting.
"Don't ask me, brother, serve me a bowl quickly!" Lin Lele said impatiently.
There was a swish sound, and a wooden bowl as big as a washbasin appeared in her hand.
Murong Xianer was always amazed by this guy who was eating like her every time he saw her.
This is a basin, it cannot be called a bowl!
"Okay, I'll serve it to you right now..."
Mo Wen took Lin Lele's big basin and filled it directly for her.
After just one bowl, half of the cured rice in the pot was gone.
(￣～￣)Chew!
"tasty!"
"The rice also has the aroma of meat, and the taste is long and fragrant. After absorbing the essence of cured meat, the crystal clear rice has a strong salty aroma, fat but not greasy." Lin Lele was amazed after taking a bite.
"Miss Xian'er, Brother Murong, this is your cured rice..."
Mo Wen scooped up two portions of cured rice and handed it to Murong Xuan's brother and sister respectively. Then he also scooped up a bowl and sat down on the square table to eat.
There was still a quarter of the cured rice in the pot, so Mo Wen didn't mean to invite Nangong Wulei to eat.
The remaining ones are not enough for them to share!
Nangong Wulei saw that the other party had no intention of inviting her, so he was wise and did not step forward.
She returned to her team, took the rations handed over by the young man in purple robes, and ate them silently.
Nangong Wulei and the others silently gnawed on the dry food in their hands, glancing at Mo Wen's table from the corner of his eyes.
"It's too difficult. It doesn't matter if you eat, or if you don't eat..."
Someone in Nangong Wulei's team whispered.
When everyone heard this, their bodies stiffened slightly.
Given their state of mind, it is not impossible to not eat or drink normally.
But Mo Wen's pot of cured meat rice brought out the greedy bugs in their stomachs.
They would rather not eat, but if they don't eat, their stomachs will grow even more embarrassingly.
"Don't ask brother, I want more, keep the rice in the pot for me!" Lin Lele said anxiously when she saw that Murong Xuan's small bowl was almost empty.
"Lele, isn't it enough for you to eat so much?" Murong Xuan looked at the other party's big basin and said dumbfounded.
This basin can hold ten bowls of rice for me.
"I'm only seventy percent full after finishing this bowl. This cured rice is so delicious!" Lin Lele puffed up her cheeks and replied while eating.
"No, you ate half the pot by yourself, and the rest belongs to the three of us. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you next time. Make a big pot..." Mo Wen refused.
He ate a bowl by himself without even reaching the basic level of fullness.
Moreover, Murong Xianer and the two of them were definitely not full either.
"Okay! Then I will have cured rice for dinner tonight!" Lin Lele compromised.
"no problem!"
Mo Wen heard this and nodded.
A quarter of an hour later, the happy meal time of the four Mo Wen ended, and the suffering of Nangong Wulei and his party ended.
"Let's continue on our way!" Lin Lele touched her slightly bulging belly and said with satisfaction.
"good!"
"Then please trouble Sister Lele to continue leading the way!" Murong Xian'er nodded.
Lin Lele led the way along the way, allowing them to easily avoid the swamps and fog in the woods.
"Follow me!" Lin Lele stood up, waved her hand, and walked forward first.
Murong Xuan and the others followed closely behind.
Mo Wen flicked his sleeves, put the tables, chairs and utensils into the storage ring and followed.
"Walk!"
"Let's follow them!" Nangong Wulei watched the four people leave and got up to follow them.
"Hurry, everyone, follow up. That nature spirit must be taking them to the location of the Enlightenment Tree!" the purple-robed young man said.
The group of people quickly stood up and chased after Mo Wen and the other four.
Lin Lele stopped, turned to look at Nangong Wulei and others not far behind him, and frowned.
"Do you want me to send them away?" Murong Xuan glanced behind him and said.
"No, let's just keep going!"
Lin Lele did not look at Murong Xuan, but instead looked at Nangong Wulei and smiled.
"They will soon be unable to keep up!"
The conversation between the two was very quiet. Nangong Wulei looked at Lin Lele who stopped smiling at him and frowned.
Is the other party about to take action?
"Everyone, be careful and be vigilant!" Nangong Wulei warned.
"Of course I'm going to take action now!"
When everyone heard the words, they all cheered up and became very energetic.
Lin Lele turned around and ignored Nangong Wulei, broke off a branch, and continued forward with Mo Wen and the others.
In her right hand holding the branch, an inconspicuous green shimmer lit up, quickly wrapping the branch in her hand.
Lin Lele skipped for a while and then casually dropped the branch on the ground.
When Mo Wen and the other three walked through this area, the green light on the branches quickly penetrated into the ground, and the soil quality was also changing.
In the blink of an eye, it spread to the feet of Nangong Wulei and others.
Nangong Wulei and others were blocked by the sudden appearance of a swamp.
"What's going on? The land is sinking!"
"Be careful, it's a swamp!"
"They clearly passed through here just now, why did it suddenly turn into a swamp!"
…
"Hurry up and get back!" Nangong Wulei shouted when he saw his body sinking.
Flying in the Forest of Despair consumes a lot of immortal energy, and it takes ten times more time to replenish the immortal energy than in the outside world.
Otherwise, Nangong Wulei and others would have chosen to explore by walking from the air.
After a moment of panic, Nangong Wulei and others retreated to a safe area.
"Damn the spirit of nature!" Nangong Wulei remembered Lin Lele looking back and smiling just now, and cursed.
She was certain that it must be Lin Lele's hand that moved it.
"My Lady Goddess, what should we do now?" The young man in purple robe asked anxiously as he looked at the backs of the four Mo Wen and others walking further and further away.
"There's no need to follow, you'll only make yourself uncomfortable!" Nangong Wulei looked at Murong Xuan's back disappearing into the mist and said with slightly focused eyes.
"Let's go around this swamp, follow me!"
After Nangong Wulei finished speaking, he took the lead and walked eastward.
The young man in purple robe followed her, and the rest of them sighed and followed.
There is no shortcut, they can only follow the leader Nangong Wulei.
Nangong Wulei looked at the ground beneath his feet, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The void bracelet under her sleeves glowed with a faint red light...
