The bullock cart wheel that had been resting for a long time started rolling again, taking them towards the border between Liang State and Qingqiu.
On the way, Gouwa covered his forehead with his hand and kept fanning his sweating face with his hand. "It's such a hot day, Brother Li, why don't we just leave tomorrow."
"It's going to be hot tomorrow, should we leave the day after tomorrow? It's also going to be hot the day after tomorrow, should we wait until autumn before leaving? Since it's so nice over there, why did you come here? How nice would it be to herd sheep with Bao Lu?"
Hearing Li Huowang's sarcasm, Gou Wa looked at the remaining women, smiled and stopped talking.
He is not that stupid. This wife is about to hook up, so how can he stay? No matter how delicious the meat is, how can I have a wife? Besides, if you follow Senior Brother Li, are you afraid of not having any meat to eat?
Noticing Gou Wa's gaze, the pear-faced woman first glanced at Li Huowang, and then rolled her eyes at him pretending to be shy.
"Hoo~" Li Huowang slowly opened the parchment in his hand and looked at the so-called Xianduzi Photography Seal on it. This was one of the few unexpected gains during this trip to the Qingqiu underground, except for Hei Taisui.<
/p>
"Senior Brother Li, what is this?" asked Zhao Wu, who was riding an ox cart.
"The cultivation method of magical power."
Li Huowang's words immediately attracted the heated gazes of others. "So, Senior Brother Li, have you practiced?"
"I haven't practiced, and I don't dare to practice. After all, I pried it out of its mouth. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. God knows if there will be any problems."
Li Huowang is very familiar with this trick when it comes to manipulating the cultivation techniques. He relied on this trick to escape from Qingfeng Temple. He didn't want to end up like Danyangzi.
Li Huowang took out the copper coin sword from his back, played with it in his hand, and then inserted it back in. "Well... I need to find someone to test it out."
"Senior Brother Li! I'm coming! I'm coming!" Li Huowang looked up and found that the only living Taoist boy, Yang Xiaotiao, was speaking. His eyes were full of heat.
"Do your job well, and don't meddle in adults' affairs."
If you don't do this well, there will be pitfalls. It's definitely not possible to use your own people. You have to find someone with the right identity and nothing will happen if there is a problem.
"Senior Brother Li, look what this is!" Chun Xiaoman reached into the tent and took out a gold box inlaid with agate and gems. The gold ingot inside looked unusually familiar.
Li Huowang was stunned for a moment. He remembered this thing. It was Sun Baolu's mother's dowry. She must have stuffed it in secretly last night.
He understood what the other party meant by doing this. It was undoubtedly that he had restored Sun Baolu's body to its original state, and in order to repay himself, he gave this gold to himself as a reward.
He looked back and saw that the tents had long since disappeared, leaving only a large expanse of green.
"Forget it, since it's someone else's kindness, don't refuse it, just keep it as payment so that you can buy a family when you get to Liang Guo."
In the next period of time, maybe it was because Qingqiu was vast and sparsely populated, or maybe it was because I started to get lucky after being unlucky for a long time. The road was calm and there were no accidents.
It's been more than a month since we left. It's obviously past the dog days of summer, but this day is getting hotter and hotter.
An unpleasant bird call erupted from the sky. Li Huowang, who was looking at the parchment map in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the fuzzy dot in the sky, then looked back at the thing in his hand.
He sent the map to Bai Lingmiao who was standing aside, and asked her: "Do you understand? Do you remember where your Niuxin Mountain is?"
Although the map of Liang Kingdom collected from Qingqiu is not very detailed, the general appearance can still be marked.
As we are about to enter Liang Kingdom, it’s time to determine the specific location of our destination.
"This... is wrong... it's not right here either..." Facing the various lines slowly winding on the map, Bai Lingmiao's expression was very hesitant.
It is obviously very difficult to find out the hometown in her impression from these simple lines, but it is not her fault. Li Huowang himself sometimes gets confused when looking at this map, and the drawing is too crude.<
/p>
Li Huowang took the map back and thought to himself: "It seems that for this Niuxin Mountain, you need to buy a new map after entering the Liang Kingdom and then ask the local people."
"By the way, I remember, aren't you from Liang Guo? Where are you from?" Li Huowang turned to look at Gou Wa.
"It's okay, it's okay if I don't go back. I grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. If I don't go back, I can still save some food for the fellow villagers."
Gou Wa said with a smile, not expecting to go home at all. His eyes were fixed on the pear-faced woman next to the carriage in front.
Li Huowang saw through it without saying anything. He looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "It's almost time. Let's have lunch. We are almost out of Qingqiu now, so let's kill the sheep."
Hearing this, everyone's face lit up and they were overjoyed. Although there was no shortage of meat in Qingqiu, after all, they had been poor all their lives and still hadn't eaten enough meat.
It's not that Li Huowang suddenly became so extravagant, it's just that the Liang Kingdom obviously doesn't have as much grass as Qingqiu to feed the sheep. If he doesn't eat it, he will starve and lose weight when he arrives in the Liang Kingdom.
"咩~~咩~~" An old sheep was dragged out of the flock by its horns and driven towards the distant river.
Having eaten sheep so many times along the way, everyone is already familiar with the process. First, bleed, then peel the skin, and then break the belly. The steps are simple and clear.
The white sheep's body was rubbed evenly with salt and spices, then pierced with the 12-foot-long halberd, and placed between two carriages to burn.
If Peng Longteng saw his weapon being wasted like this, he would probably be so angry that he would almost come to life.
Looking at the dry sheep dung that was lit below, and at the roasted whole lamb that was sizzling and oily on top, Gouwa licked his tongue and said with a smile: "Hehehe, this can be regarded as the original food in soup."
, it’s very comfortable.”
After being hit on the back of the head by Chun Xiaoman, Gouwa shrank his neck, turned around and walked towards the group of women who were picking wild vegetables.
When the whole roasted lamb is roasted, the wild vegetable and haggis soup is also ready. The greasy barbecue goes well with the light vegetable soup.
Everyone gathered in groups on the grass, enjoying the feast.
The dog boy smiled and opened his own sheep head, pulled out the long sheep tongue inside, and put it in the vegetable bowl in the hand of the pear-faced woman. "Hong'er~ Come on, I'll
I’ve reserved a good thing just for you, sheep’s tongue.”
The woman named Hong'er shyly held the bowl in her arms, picked up the long tongue with her hand and ate it in small bites.
Facing Gou Wa's thin body, she didn't have any objection.
On the side, Yang kid, faced with the round-faced woman asking for his sheep's tail, he angrily refused.
At this time, Zhao Wu, who was sitting on the bullock cart, saw this scene with a trace of envy deep in his eyes.
But after taking a look at his weak body, Zhao Wu sighed lightly and focused all his attention on the wild vegetable and haggis soup in his hand.
