Ding Xiaoyi held the dried [blue heart fruit] in his hand, stuffed a handful into the meat ball's mouth, then put one in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
It has a slightly bitter taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Although it's not delicious, it's not hard to swallow either.
I just eat too much and my mouth always feels numb.
Sitting under the shed outside the house, watching the heavy rain falling above my head, I felt amazed.
He didn't expect that it could rain in a place like Huangquan.
On the side, the big head was holding its head with its claws, and its huge body was curled up into a ball, hiding in the house and refusing to come out.
Apparently Big Head doesn't like rain.
But despite this, half of Big Tou's face still popped out of the door, staring directly at Ding Xiaoyi and the big pot at his hand.
The noodles inside have already begun to soften.
The unique fragrance of Lao Tan's pickled cabbage and beef noodles has begun to emerge from the pot.
But Meatball was okay, the rain splashed on him and had no impact on him.
"Hey, it looks like the bad old man won't be coming."
Ding Xiaoyi scratched his head. During this period, he was waiting for the old man.
In addition to wanting to ask for some medicinal powder that can soften Xuantong's tortoise shells and nails, there is another point that I am most concerned about.
That is Mr. Chen's body. After all, there is no way to save it.
After spending this time together, Old Man Chen's condition became worse and worse day by day.
He thought that if possible, even if it was just to extend his life,
I am also willing to try it myself.
After all, people like Old Man Chen are people who truly fight for humanity.
If he could live longer, he would also feel happy.
Of course, there is also a little selfishness of my own in this.
If Old Man Chen can live a few more years and this thigh covers him, it will be much easier for him to do whatever he does.
But maybe it's because he lost the bet last time, but the old man has not even been seen in recent times.
I've been keeping watch all day today, and seeing how heavy the rain is, I guess this old man won't come.
Just when Ding Xiaoyi was wondering whether he wanted to go back to reality.
The rain in front of me suddenly became smaller and smaller. When I looked out, I saw that the rain had stopped.
A mist arose in the surrounding woods, and the mist grew larger and larger, gradually turning the surroundings into a world of white mist that made it impossible to see even one's fingertips.
"Rumble..."
Although the rain stopped, the rolling and muffled thunder did not go out.
It depends on the situation, maybe there will be another one later.
Ding Xiaoyi thought of this and planned to leave after cooking the instant noodles in the pot.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding... boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this time, when his ears moved, he heard a sound coming from the woods in the distance.
First there was a sound of bells, followed by three gongs.
"Someone???"
He listened carefully and found that the sound was quite close, and it was getting closer.
At this time, I saw a blue lantern lighting up in the fog.
Gradually the fog in front of you is dispelled.
Ding Xiaoyi took a look and saw that there were actually people, a man and a woman. The man was dressed in black and was holding a gong. The woman was in a white skirt, holding a lantern, and a string of bells wrapped around her wrist.
When Datou looked at the man and woman, their faces became weird. He didn't even eat the noodles, turned around, retracted his head into the door, and closed the door behind him.
Only a pair of eyes were left, popping out of the window and watching carefully.
"Hey, there's someone here!"
When the men and women saw Ding Xiaoyi, they were also stunned.
Especially the woman, after taking a closer look, when she saw Ding Xiaoyi, she couldn't help but look at the man next to her with an expression of surprise.
The woman wanted to come forward and say something.
But he was pressed down by the man calmly.
At this time, the man took a step forward, stood on the edge of the fence, held Ding Xiaoyi's hands in his hands, bent down and said, "This little brother is polite."
"Uh uh..."
The awkward greeting made Ding Xiaoyi a little overwhelmed, so he had to bow his hands in the same way.
"It rains in the Yellow Spring, which has not been seen for many years. Unfortunately, my brother and sister were passing by here and happened to lose their way. Looking at the rolling thunder, I thought there would be a heavy rain from time to time. Can I use my precious place to take shelter for a while."
The man spoke in a coy way, especially like the emphasis in those costume dramas in college.
Fortunately, I could barely understand it.
It was also the first time that Ding Xiaoyi saw a ‘person’ other than old man Zao.
I was very curious in my heart. From the previous conversation between me and the bad old man, it was not difficult to tell that there might be someone else in this netherworld.
I didn't expect to meet you today.
After thinking about it for a while, he imitated the man's tone of voice and nodded: "Of course, please come in!"
After getting Ding Xiaoyi's approval.
The man did not step in immediately, but took out a door sticker from his arms. He pushed it gently with his palm, and the door sticker fell lightly into his hand as if it had been given some kind of power.
He opened it and saw a long, crooked font written on it.
Ding Xiaoyi looked at it for a long time and was stunned not to recognize a single word.
After looking at it for a long time, he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he put the door sticker in his hand and accepted it.
Seeing Ding Xiaoyi accept the door sticker, the man turned back and glanced at the woman, and then the two of them stepped into the fence with confidence.
After the two of them walked under the shed.
Bowing to him, Ding Xiaoyi had no choice but to follow suit and bow down.
"Fan Ba, this is my sister-in-law Xie Qi."
Ding Xiaoyi was startled after stopping Fan Laoba's introduction.
Since she is a younger sister, why is she still ranked seventh??
Seemingly seeing Ding Xiaoyi's confusion, the woman in white behind her covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother, please don't misunderstand me. We are siblings first, not by age."
The woman's explanation probably made her feel relieved.
Why do I say roughly, because I only understand a rough idea.
"Excuse me..." I imitated the other person's accent, and I couldn't get used to it. After struggling for a while, I returned to my usual tone and said, "My name is Xiao Yi. You can just call me that. Please sit down!"
As he spoke, he let the meat balls stretch a little longer, transforming from a sofa into a row of U-shaped benches.
Seeing this, the man and woman looked at each other and were very surprised by the performance of the meat balls.
After Ding Xiaoyi sat down, he looked at the two of them again.
The man has a very easy-going appearance. He cannot be said to be handsome, but he has a mature and steady look between his brows.
Paired with a black suit, it looks even more solemn and delicate.
The woman looks dignified and delicate, but her behavior is bold and lively.
The clear corners of his eyes glanced at himself from time to time, but not at the pot next to him, as if he was full of curiosity about everything in front of him.
Wearing a white dress also suits her active temperament.
"I heard that this place used to be a ferry, and then it was desolate and abandoned. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain today and the haze that made it difficult to tell the direction, I probably wouldn't have stumbled here by accident. Instead, I accidentally discovered a paradise.
.”
Fan didn't squint his eyes and sat upright. Although his eyes were looking at himself, he seemed to take in everything.
Especially when he noticed the Gu Lingshan in the yard, he was quite surprised.
As for Xie Qi, she was more casual, looking left and right, but what she was looking at was not Gu Lingshan and other things, but the electric lights hanging on the shed.
And the engine is still humming and working.
It was as if these things made her feel even more novel.
But in the end, Xie Qi's eyes were fixed on the pot of instant noodles.
The unique sour aroma really stimulates the senses of the tongue when sitting next to it.
The three of them sat facing each other, but they didn't know what to say for a moment.
The instant noodles cooked for Datou were placed in the middle. The sour smell was not so pervasive that Ding Xiaoyi had to stir the pot for fear of sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Watching Ding Xiaoyi stir the noodle soup in the pot.
Suddenly the sour and refreshing taste hit his face, and even Xie Qi couldn't bear it.
"Brother Xiao Yi is really an extraordinary person. His skill in cooking noodles is really extraordinary. I wonder if I can taste it."
Something like instant noodles has no value at all, yet it is praised by others.
Of course Ding Xiaoyi would not refuse.
Not only did they not refuse, but they even found noodle buckets for the two of them to use as tableware.
The two of them were not polite when they saw this, and immediately took some portion from the pot.
Watching the instant noodles being divided up in the pot.
Ding Xiaoyi could feel the resentful look in the big head's eyes through the glass, and glanced sideways.
Sure enough, this guy was looking at me through the glass with tears in his eyes.
(?д?;?)
"Bliss..."
The chewy noodles fell into the mouth, and the taste of the sour soup instantly ignited the long-lost taste of the two.
Sour and spicy.
The noodles seemed very thin, but they were much stronger than anything they had ever eaten.
The noodles in the bowls of both of them were eaten up in an instant.
The brother and sister were not polite, they just had another bowl without having to ask.
Seeing the brother and sister eating so happily, Ding Xiaoyi, who was sitting aside, was almost moved by the way the two of them were eating, and wondered whether he should add another clove of garlic.
At this time, they saw the brother and sister taking off a pair of wine gourds from their waists.
These pair of wine gourds are quite interesting. The gourd on Xie Qi's hand is black, while the one on Fan Ba's hand is white.
The gourd lid is opened.
I saw wisps of strange light coming out of it.
Then a strong aroma of wine filled the air from inside.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but take a sip, and immediately felt the fragrance.
Even people like me who don't like to drink have been aroused by the craving for alcohol.
"Thanks to my brother for not giving up. He lent my brother and sister shelter from the wind and rain for a while, and also gave me delicious preserved fruits. My brother and sister would like to toast to my brother!"
As they spoke, they raised the gourds in their hands and took a sip.
Watching the two of them drinking together, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the wine they poured out and couldn't help but said: "Um...can I share some of the wine between you two?"
Xie Qi and Fan Ba looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No, no, no, ordinary people can't drink our wine."
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi curled his lips, maybe it was intentional, why can't he drink?
After thinking for a while, he quietly took out the [Disaster Avoidance Pointer Box] from his pocket and thought to himself: "Can I drink this wine..."
After seeing the red needle of the disaster-avoiding pointer box falling in the green area, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly became bold.
"Ahem, you two look down on me. If you can drink, I can drink too!"
Hearing what he said, Fan Ba and Xie Qiyi were a little embarrassed for a moment. After thinking about it, Fan Ba nodded: "Well, if that's the case, if we refuse again later, it will look stingy."
Seeing that the two agreed, Ding Xiaoyi immediately happily took out a noodle bucket, and each of them poured a little from the gourd. The two wines immediately blended together, and the wine in the bucket suddenly glowed with a different color, and the aroma of the wine suddenly became more alluring.
Before drinking, he specially used the [Disaster Avoidance Pointer Box] to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then drank it in one gulp.
The aroma of the wine was as cold as the belly and soothed the throat, as if it was sliding down his own throat into his abdomen, and then a warm fire traveled from his abdomen to his whole body, making him feel as if every pore had been opened, and he felt indescribably comfortable.
.
His eyes lit up, and he praised the two of them: "Good wine, let's have another glass!"
