Of course, not only doing things is good for your appetite, but cooking is also good for your appetite.
However, how many people in the world can say such things with such confidence?
"Don't tell me, I was so damn happy watching you scolding those family heads one by one."
After Hexu Xiaohan finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fish head meat with chopsticks, flattened his mouth, and said again:
"I don't like fish, but this fish head with chopped pepper is really good. You can try it."
After hearing Hexu Xiaohan's words, Long Yingxiao immediately picked up a chopstick.
The fish meat is tender, fat but not greasy, and has a soft and glutinous texture in the mouth, salty and slightly spicy.
"The famous dishes from Xiangtan have a unique taste."
"That's right, this is Uncle Liu's specialty."
After hearing Hexu Xiaohan's words, Long Yingxiao nodded to Uncle Liu as a thank you.
Uncle Liu also nodded to him in response.
"If you just say this, what will your friends do?"
Hexu Xiaohan picked up a fish ball and said.
"Yes, yes, I actually forgot about them."
Only then did Long Yingxiao remember that he still didn't know about Mu Ping's situation.
He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and was about to call Lin Muping, but stopped again.
"What's wrong?"
After eating the fish balls, Hexu Xiaohan asked.
Long Yingxiao shook his head and said: "I'm not sure whether they are safe now, so I won't call them. I'll send him a message."
After that, Long Yingxiao quickly typed:
Is it safe now? Can I make a phone call?
Not long after I posted it, the words "Lin Muping" popped up on the phone screen.
It's never a good idea to answer the phone at the dinner table. Long Yingxiao glanced at Hexu Xiaohan, his eyes full of questions.
Hexu Xiaohan also understood what Long Yingxiao meant, so he said:
"Just go there."
Long Yingxiao nodded and apologized, then stood up and went to the door to answer the phone.
"Hey, Mu Ping, where are you now?"
Long Yingxiao said directly without much greeting.
"We have left Jianmen and are now in a hotel in Jiange County. Don't worry, we are safe. How are you?"
On the other side of the phone, Lin Muping said in a deep voice.
After hearing Lin Muping's words, Long Yingxiao felt relieved and said immediately: "We are also safe. Long Ling and I were rescued by a senior and are now at his residence."
Lin Muping said: "Are you injured? What about Mo Ziling?"
"Neither Long Ling nor I was injured, Zi Ling..."
When Long Yingxiao said this, he didn't know how to speak.
"What happened to Zi Ling?"
Angelina's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This matter is very troublesome. Let's talk about it when we get back. She's fine anyway."
Maybe even now, Long Yingxiao doesn't want to believe that Mo Ziling would betray them.
But even if you don't believe it, the result will still not change anything.
"All right."
On the other end of the phone, Angelina seemed to sense something was wrong and did not continue to ask further questions.
"How did you get out? Who came to attack you? Is anyone injured?"
Long Yingxiao asked hurriedly, fearing that several people would be injured in the battle.
Lin Muping's tone on the other end of the phone was a little awkward, and he said:
"We didn't listen to you in the hotel
We stayed there quietly. After you set off at three in the morning, the five of us followed the three of you and secretly entered Jianmen. However, we wanted to respond to you at any time, so we only stayed at the edge of Jianmen Scenic Area."
"Later, you sent me a message, and we didn't go back to the hotel. Instead, we took advantage of the night to observe the situation nearby."
"Later, we saw many people with abilities appearing around Jianmen. A few of us discussed it and decided to leave Jianmen first. After all, we only have the Romance Stone in us, and we can't continue to look for the Observation Stone. You three
If he wasn't there yet, he simply ran away and came to Jiange County."
After hearing Lin Muping's words, Long Yingxiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then he said slowly:
"Fortunately you didn't listen to me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Ying Xiao, how did you know someone was coming to arrest us?"
On the other side of the phone, Shao Tianhan said in confusion.
"It was Zi Ling. She betrayed us. Long Ling and I were besieged by the eight major families she brought plus the Long family in the Jianmen Scenic Area. It was at that time that I knew they had also sent people to arrest you, so I
That’s why I asked you to leave the hotel as soon as possible.”
Long Yingxiao didn't want to tell the news of Zi Ling's betrayal on the phone, but Shao Tianhan had already asked him to this point, and he couldn't do it without telling him.
People on the phone obviously couldn't believe what Long Yingxiao said.
Shao Tianhan said: "How is it possible?"
Angelina said: "Why would Zi Ling betray us?"
"This is real."
After Long Yingxiao finished speaking, he looked at the cloudless sky outside the door and said in a low tone:
"I don't believe it even more than you do. I prefer this to just be a nightmare of mine."
silence.
After a moment of silence.
"Ying Xiao, come back and talk to us in detail. You have to take care of yourself and don't do stupid things. Do you understand?"
On the other side of the phone, Shao Tianhan spoke righteously.
"Um."
Long Yingxiao gave a bitter smile and said. Shao Tianhan really knew what he wanted to do, or in other words, what he didn't want to do.
"By the way, you didn't contact Zi...Mo Ziling during the day, did you?"
Long Yingxiao was afraid that Mo Ziling would tell Lin Muping and others false news today, so he asked immediately.
Lin Muping said: "No, you told me you would contact me, but I didn't contact her again."
Feeling relieved again, Long Yingxiao said again:
"That's fine, don't contact her again."
"Well, okay, when will you come to us? Or should we come to you?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Muping asked again.
"Just wait for me to contact you. I'm not sure yet, but we are safe. Don't worry. I will contact you as soon as possible after I come out. You can stay in the hotel with peace of mind."
Long Yingxiao looked back at Hexu Xiaohan who was still eating and drinking, and said.
"Okay, Brother Long, we'll wait for you here. We won't run around this time."
On the other end of the phone, Yang said with a smile.
"Okay, have you eaten?"
As if he was infected by Yang, Long Yingxiao also smiled and said.
"We've already eaten, Brother Long, just leave us alone and take care of yourself."
After hearing Yang's words, Long Yingxiao said: "Okay, then I'll go have a meal first, bye."
Everyone's farewells came from the other end of the phone, but Long Yingxiao didn't hear them clearly.
Just leave us alone.
Just leave us alone.
Yang's words suddenly reminded him of what Mo Ziling said to him on the road last night.
"...Sometimes I feel like you are like a parent to several of us. You will help us arrange everything and not let us worry about anything."
So, even so, have you betrayed me?
Have you betrayed us too?
The feeling of being betrayed is always so hard to accept.
Long Yingxiao just stood by the door, with all kinds of negative emotions pouring out of his mind like the water of the Yellow River.
The aura on Long Yingxiao's body became extremely unstable.
The cell phone in his hand was squeezed tighter and tighter.
In my mind, the sea of blood seemed to be surging, and countless corpses were floating in the sea of blood. Long Yingxiao was standing on the small boat in the sea of blood, but the boat had also been filled with blood.
Long Yingxiao froze on the spot, his eyes already covered with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, a chopstick flew from the dining table.
After the chopstick arrived in front of Long Yingxiao, it slowly fell and knocked on his forehead.
A cool breath came from his forehead, and in an instant, Long Yingxiao woke up.
"Boy, why are you standing there after making a phone call? If you don't come over to eat, we'll be gone."
The chopsticks flew back from Long Yingxiao's face to Hexu Xiaohan's hands. He picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it in his mouth after speaking.
Sitting back on the stool, Long Yingxiao finally woke up completely.
"Try this. Your eyes are bloodshot. Eat some of this to get rid of the heat."
Hexu Xiaohan pointed to the bowl of West Lake water shield soup and motioned to Long Yingxiao to try it.
Long Yingxiao smiled awkwardly, knowing that the bloodshot eyes in his eyes had nothing to do with getting angry.
At some point, another small bowl appeared in front of everyone. Long Yingxiao took some West Lake water shield soup with a spoon and put it into the small bowl.
In the bowl, the water shield is emerald green, the chicken is white and fiery red, and a faint fragrance comes out.
The water shield and the chicken are white in the mouth, but the taste is mellow and the meat is tender and extremely fragrant.
“I have already eaten water shield before arriving at the West Lake, and I have thoughts of water shield and perch before I see the autumn wind.”
Hexu Xiaohan himself took a mouthful of West Lake water shield soup and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir, what is the thought of Water Shield Perch?"
Bamboo Shadow asked in confusion.
Hexu Xiaohan smiled, but he looked at Long Yingxiao and asked:
"Long Yingxiao, do you know?"
"It is said that there was a man named Zhang Han in the Jin Dynasty. He was an official in Luoyang. When he saw the autumn wind blowing, he remembered a delicious dish in his hometown, 'water shield soup and seabass meat'. After thinking of it, he resolutely resigned and went home.
Therefore, an idiom expressing homesickness also appeared, that is, the thought of water shield perch."
Long Yingxiao put down his chopsticks and said.
"This guy just quit his job because he wanted to eat local food. He's so greedy."
Hearing Zhuying's words, Hexu Xiaohan smiled and then joked:
"This Zhang Han is just like our little greedy cat."
"No way, I'm not so greedy!"
Zhuying pouted and said unhappy.
"Really? I didn't say who it was. How could someone pick up the spot on their own?"
Hexu Xiaohan's smile became even stronger and he continued.
"snort!"
Zhuying shrugged his nose and said again:
"Young master is so bad!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
