The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

New Year's Eve

White snowflakes fell sparsely from the sky, and the whole earth seemed to be covered with a thin layer of white blanket.

Anton Jun and Miao Luantong walked hand in hand in the snow. Their breath formed wisps of white mist in the cold air and drifted away with the wind.

Wherever they passed, they left behind a series of footprints of varying depths, recording their footsteps and the time they spent together.

There was a thin layer of snow on the branches of the surrounding bamboo forests or woods. Occasionally, small pieces of snow would slide down from them, making slight noises, breaking the surrounding tranquility.

Looking at the village in the distance, children were playing and fighting in the snow, setting off the firecrackers given to them by Anton Jun. Their laughter echoed in the air, adding vitality and vigor to this snowy world.

(During this period, "firecrackers" made of gunpowder wrapped in paper had not yet appeared, only "firecrackers" or "explosive poles". Gunpowder firecrackers were only recorded in the Northern Song Dynasty, and were also called "woven cannons" at that time.)

But Anton has Hanba, so as long as he is around, small things like firecrackers can be easily made, right?

Of course, he didn't let these kids play for free. He required the children to set off the fireworks he got from Hanba at the beginning of midnight in the next few nights. Several surrounding villages also received the same treatment.

After stopping, Anton Jun took a red cloak and wrapped him and Miao Luantong, snuggling tightly together. The cloak covered most of their bodies, leaving only the smile on their faces exposed.

Quietly appreciate the snow scene, look up at the sky, and the falling snowflakes sparkle with white luster under the sunlight.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still and all the noise was left behind.

"Tong'er, I have to go back to Fengxiang to accompany your sister tomorrow."

After a long time, Anton Jun's gentle voice sounded in Miao Luantong's ears, and his hot breath sprayed on her earlobe.

She said with a face that was red from the cold or from shame: “As I should, even though my sister didn’t say anything when we set out a few days ago.

But I know that she really, really wants you to stay with her, and... An Lang, you too, right?!"

Anton hugged her tightly and joked, "Why? I'm so anxious to find your sister, aren't you jealous?"

In fact, Anton Jun spends much less time with Li Zhaozhao than Miao Luantong, but anyone who knows them can see that the relationship between them is deeper than anyone else.

Miao Luantong's expression remained unchanged. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth transmitted by his body temperature: "No, you and my sister treat me so well, I should know how to be content!"

She and Anton-kun already knew each other well, but on the contrary, she didn't have such a strong possessiveness.

On the contrary, she was very grateful, grateful to the empress for tolerating and accepting her, and grateful to Anton-jun for liking her.

And Anton Jun suddenly felt that he was very lucky. The two women he liked happened to like him too.

Moreover, there was no tit-for-tat confrontation between them as in the legend, nor was there any Shura field or anything like that in the legend. Instead, they were considerate and understanding of each other, and supported each other in everything.

I have to say that she is worthy of being a woman of Huanyinfang.

"So do you want to go back with me? Or stay here with Master and the others for a few more days?"

"I'll stay here with Master and the others. You haven't been back for a long time in several years. Besides, my cultivation is not good enough. Traveling with you will only slow you down."

"Ok!"

Anton Jun thought about it and felt that it made sense. Now Miao Luantong was nourished by Anton Jun's natal sword.

Although her body could not fully withstand his internal force at the peak of the Qingxiao realm, after a long period of nourishment, she also reached the late stage of the Datian realm.

(In fact, Miao Chengtian’s talent is not low. Although he was born with blocked meridians and cannot use internal energy in the anime, his internal energy is still at a high level when he first appears, which is stronger than many people.)

However, if she wanted to reach Fengxiang within one day, the internal strength of the late Great Heaven Realm was not enough. Besides, she could also cultivate more relationships with Yang Shuzi and the others by staying in Jianlu.

The two of them chatted with each other for a while and then went back. They had been walking for quite a long time this time and it was almost time to prepare lunch.

After Anton Jun and the others came back these days, the task of cooking was given to him again.

After all, he didn't stay here for a long time in a year. Now that he is back, he has to let Li Xingyun and the others relax.

……

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you're back! Why, did you go to pick wild vegetables again today?"

Looking at what Anton Jun was holding in his hand, Lu Linxuan asked with the answer in his mind.

"Well! Give us a few new tricks."

These days, Anton and his wife would go out for a walk, and on the way back, they would pick some wild vegetables to eat.

After all, in this era, only the cooking techniques are similar to those in later generations, but the variety of ingredients and seasonings are not as good.

Today, Anton and his friend picked some deer ear leeks and duck celery to use with meat and eggs respectively.

As for the meat, Miao Luantong had prepared it when she returned to Jianlu. It happened to be winter now, and the outside was like a natural refrigerator. All the ingredients could be preserved for a long time and there was no need to worry about them going bad.

"Okay, but I still like what my sister-in-law makes, it's delicious!"

"If Lin Xuan wants to learn, sister-in-law can teach you!"

After spending a few days together, Miao Luantong became familiar with them and gradually integrated into their atmosphere.

And she also likes Lu Linxuan, this quirky little girl, and feels that she is a bit like Chi Meng!

"Okay, okay!"

As Lu Linxuan spoke, he took Miao Luantong's hand, then left Anton Jun and took her to the kitchen.

Anton: 'Hey, hey...that's my wife!'

……

The variety of New Year’s Eve dinner dishes in this era was not as many as in later generations, and even there were only two kinds of wine, one called "Tu Su Wine" and the other called "Jiao Bai Wine".

There is also a "Five Spicy Plate" next to it: the plate is full of green and spicy food, and contains five kinds of vegetables, namely garlic, shallot, leek, Brassica juncea, and coriander.

The dishes include: mutton in a basin, golden carp, platter, gum glutinous rice cake, reunion cake...

Although their table cannot be compared with that of later generations, it is already quite sumptuous compared with other ordinary people's homes of this era. Even Jianlu did not have so much in previous years, it was only because someone became wealthy this year.

On New Year's Eve, before meals and while staying up at midnight, the younger generation should pay respect to the older generation.

An Dongjun and Miao Luantong bowed forward and said solemnly: "Dongjun (disciple's wife) wishes Master to smile with joy and open his eyes to receive blessings!"

Then there are Li Xingyun and the other two.

During the meal, Anton-kun also told the three of them that he wanted to go back.

"Master, I plan to return to Fengxiang tomorrow."

Yang Shuzi frowned and said, "So soon, is there some official business?"

"No, it was just my original plan. On the day of Yuanzheng, I will go back to Fengxiang to spend it with Zhaozhao, your half-disciple and the others."

Anton Jun once taught Nian Ling some medical skills, so he was considered half-apprentice.

And he guessed that Yang Shuzi would like Nian Ling, a little guy with half a brain and medical skills, very much, even though he has been taken by his elder brother-in-law...C, scold the elder brother-in-law once in a while! (Li Maozhen: "Hmm~???")

"Well... that's indeed what we should do, but what about my disciple's wife?"

The reason why he asked this was because Yang Shuzi just realized that Anton Jun was talking about him, not them.

"Master, my disciple's wife has decided to stay here for a few more days." Miao Luantong replied.

She also changed the way she addressed herself in the past few days. At first, it was Yang Shuzi who first called herself "disciple's wife".

There was no way. The more Yang Shuzi looked at her, the more he liked her. She was virtuous, considerate, smart, well-behaved, and kind-hearted. More importantly, she was a great cook!

Now he is secretly looking forward to having another disciple-wife of his.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, is his disciple so outstanding? These good kids actually like that stinky boy. (Someone: "Fuck, again?")

"Yes! Very good!"

Hearing that Miao Luantong was staying, Yang Shuzi's expression was obviously much better, as if he had completely forgotten that An Dongjun was leaving. (Someone: "So I am redundant?")

After the meal, everyone sat around the stove to celebrate the New Year. After enjoying the fireworks with the four of them at midnight, Anton Jun hurried back to Fengxiang.
