Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

The next day, Lin Yi and Xiao Huan went out of the city to the outskirts of Jinling.

The gurgling Qinhuai water flows out of the bustling red dust of Jinling City, passes through the thick city walls, and flows all the way to the small villages and towns with gentle hills. There are women washing vegetables and laundry beside the clear canal.

Surrounded by lush ancient trees, bamboo groves, unknown flower clusters are blooming in the sun, the mountains are full of mist, moss is growing on the stone roads of small villages and towns, and the houses are uneven.

Lin Yi and Xiao Huan controlled the reins, and as soon as they entered the village, the horse unknowingly slowed down, matching the rhythm here.

A group of children passed by playing around, saw them, laughed and followed the horse, and looked at Xiao Huan and Lin Yi curiously and boldly.

"Are you afraid of me?" Lin Yi patted the lightsaber on his waist and made a serious expression.

"Little brother is good-looking, so I'm not afraid." A child made a grimace back at him.

Lin Yi watched with joy, and said to Xiao Huan: "I mentioned my name before, but it can stop children from crying at night."

Wherever he went in the last life, people were afraid to go out, for fear that the vicious Marquis Lie Jun would become murderous.

"Are you going to the house in Dongtou?"

The children bounced around and followed the horse, asking tentatively.

Lin Yi looked at Xiao Huan questioningly, Xiao Huan nodded, indicating that the children were right.

"How do you know?"

Lin Yi took out the candy he carried with him, and gently threw the candy to the little dolls on horseback.

He was dressed in red, and there was a smile on his flying and handsome eyebrows.

The little dolls laughed and grabbed the candy. One of the most courageous children said, "Because you two look like gods. There are also two gods at the east end of the town. You must know each other."

Lin Yi laughed, knowing that the two people they were talking about were Nie Yanli and Shao Chongyou.

He smiled and looked at Xiao Huan who was beside him. He was dressed in a light green robe, and the small moles at the end of his eyes complemented his complexion.

Legend has it that King Xiting, who lived in Danxiao Palace, was originally a fairy bone from another world.

Lin Yi looked at the children who ran into the alley in a hurry, with a contented and proud tone, and said softly to Xiao Huan: "Seven Immortal Kings, sooner or later I will be alone."

Xiao Huan looked sideways at Lin Yi with clear eyes, and teased him in a warm voice: "So unreasonable?"

"In front of others, you are King Xiting and General Fengdu, and by my side you are Xiao Jinzhi." Lin Yi peeled off two candies, handed one to Xiao Huan, and threw the other into his mouth. The voice was a little chaotic and a little like a child, "When you promise... When I remember all the things you said, then you will be mine alone."

"At that time..." If you still want to.

Xiao Huan leaned slightly, and ate the candy with his hand, the sweetness melted in his mouth, and there was a lot of love in his eyes.

The two arrived at the east end of the town and walked along the bluestone alley to an ordinary-looking house.

The wooden fence encloses a yard, and Lingxiao flowers embrace the wooden fence.

Lin Yi and Xiao Huan pushed open the door of the courtyard, and there was a pergola in the flower garden in the courtyard, and a crabapple flower tree hugged by two people, with a tall and lush crown.

There are several simple houses with swallow's nests under the eaves, which are no different from ordinary people's homes.

"Where are the two gods?" Lin Yi looked around and liked this place very much, "It's so close to Jinling, but it's a paradise. Nie Yanli is very good at finding places."

"Back so soon..." Nie Yanli came out of the room leisurely, saw Lin Yi and Xiao Huan, stopped in her footsteps, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be you, congratulations to Lord Hou on his triumphant return."

Xiao Huan had been friends with him for many years, so he didn't care about these vain rituals, he stepped forward and said, "How are these days?"

"No one will find this place." Nie Yanli stretched her waist, with a smile on her handsome face, "It's so quiet, I haven't been in Jinling City for half a month, so I'm not used to it."

"The beauties in the city are probably dying." Lin Yi smiled.

Nie Yanli smiled suavely, waved her hands and said, "It's not that exaggerated."

The courtyard door slammed softly, and Lin Yi turned his head to see that Shao Chongyou had just returned, with two fish and several bundles of fresh vegetables in his hand that usually only held a sword.

"Back?" Shao Chong still saw Xiao Huan and Lin Yi, his brows moved, and he smiled.

"Do you want to cook?" Lin Yi asked in surprise, then rubbed his hands together, looking forward to it.

Shao Chongyou's cooking skills are very good. He was very busy in Beijiang in his previous life. He cooked occasionally. Lin Yi thought it was a great improvement in food. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to taste his cooking now.

Nie Yanli smiled very comfortably: "It's not easy. I don't usually cook, so I can only eat the food in the tavern. I made a bet yesterday, and I only look forward to this meal if I win."

Lin Yi was a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable. Shao Chongyou didn't pay attention to people he didn't know well at all. It was impossible for ordinary people to make him agree to cook and pull him to bet.But Nie Yanli's temperament is very easy to get along with, it seems that the two have become acquainted during this time.

Shao Chongyou has always been indifferent, and his expression was not enthusiastic at this time, he just carried the vegetables to the kitchen, and pulled out Nie Yanli's Yinchun Sword: "Use it."

Nie Yanli knew that he was going to cut the fish with a sword, and his heart ached, but thinking of Shao Chongyou's skill, he held back again, and said generously: "Just use it."

Shao Chong could still hear his struggle in his heart, and gently tugged the corner of his mouth.Nie Yanli was very conscious, ready to fight with the past, walked a few steps back and said: "Xiao Huan, why don't you show your hand, there are so many people."

Lin Yi asked with interest: "What does Xiao Huan cook?"

Nie Yanli blinked at him: "Actually, I haven't seen it before, it depends on him."

Lin Yi looked at Xiao Huan expectantly, Xiao Huan smiled softly: "It can be done the same."

Lin Yi was extremely pleasantly surprised. It is rare for two gods to cook together.

"Go shopping first." Xiao Huan went to the kitchen to look around, and if he was still missing something, he took Lin Yi to the town to buy something.

Lin Yi obediently followed him, watching Xiao Huan buy kidney beans at the vegetable stand, and then went to the store to buy rock sugar.

The folk customs here are simple and honest, the bosses saw that the two were dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary demeanor, so they didn't take the opportunity to slaughter the customers, but took extra care of them.

Xiao Huan is out of tune with the market, but he behaves naturally when asking prices, buying vegetables, and paying. Lin Yi has complicated and comfortable emotions in his heart. Shopping for vegetables is such an ordinary little thing, and he is very happy to be with him.

Stopping in front of the beekeeper's stall, Xiao Huan asked Lin Yi, "What kind of honey do you like?"

Lin Yi said without hesitation: "Osmanthus fragrans."

How could Xiao Huan not know his taste, and he pointed to osmanthus honey almost before Lin Yi could answer.

The beekeeper took the honey, and the two left the market to go back. The kitchen had already lit a fire, and Nie Yanli, the son of the Ruan family, who was roaming around the flowers in style and freely wandering the rivers and lakes, took a basin of clean water to wash the vegetables in a down-to-earth manner .

This is the only thing he can do. Among the four, Lin Yi has been guarding the border for many years, so he naturally understands daily routines. Only Nie Yanli is the real one.

Shao Chongyou cleaned the chopping board, his unrivaled sword-holding hand had sharp joints, and he cut vegetables and fish neatly. He heated up the pot, boiled the water, and quickly put the fish over the water together with shredded ginger and diluted vinegar. , that is to go in and out, to remove the light fishy.

Nie Yanli washed the vegetables carefully and handed them over, stood aside to wipe her hands, rubbed her waist again, and even sweated a little on her forehead, Xiuyi's eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she had suffered so much.

"You're always cold, it's much better that way, a little smokey."

Nie Yanli leaned aside with her arms folded, admiring Shao Chongyou's eye-catching movements while cooking.

Shao Chongyou moved his hands calmly, raised his eyes to look at Nie Yanli, this man was charming and coquettish, raised his chin and smiled at him, with a bit of laziness and hard work left in his expression, like a beautiful leopard, powerful and Delicate.

In contrast, Young Master Hou can be described as virtuous and self-conscious. After Xiao Huan came back, Lin Yi and him peeled bean pods together at the table, and the fresh kidney beans fell into the basin one by one.

The two talked and laughed, and Lin Yi would pinch Xiao Huan's fingertips from time to time, and then lightly bumped into Xiao Huan's shoulder while laughing, and couldn't help but pick up raw kidney beans to take a bite, but Xiao Huan stopped him directly.

Looking back several times, seeing them finish peeling the beans, Nie Yanli sighed inwardly.

Meeting Xiao Huan's gaze, Nie Yanli smiled teasingly, meaning that peeling a bean would reveal honey, so he couldn't see it, Xiao Huan smiled softly and ignored him.

Shao Chongyou put on an apron for the main course, and Xiao Huan made two desserts.Lin Yi looked around, found a simple errand, scoured several kinds of rice, and steamed them on the stove.

And Nie Yanli, confident and calm, gracefully put a piece of rock candy into his mouth, watching them busy with a smile.

The movements of Xiao Huan's slender hands looked very skillful, and his every move of cooking looked like he was playing chess and playing the piano.

He put a large kidney bean, rock sugar and half a spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus honey into a pottery pot of water, simmered on high heat and then on low heat, added a few fresh green plums in the middle, and added a very small amount of several kinds of sweet herbs to taste.

In the middle, he patiently took the peeled kidney beans, and together with the red bean paste, made a fine dish of red bean honey and brown sugar. This is exactly the snack that Lin Yi wanted to eat in Jiangzhou City.

When the heat is up, take out the kidney beans from the earthen pot, put them in an empty earthen pot with honey and a few pickled green plums, and hang them in the well to freeze.

Shao Chong still tried his best to put on his arrow sleeves and rolled up his forearm muscles, showing strong and smooth muscles. His cold and determined side face did not become gentle because he entered the kitchen. The cooking and steaming fish were neat and beautiful, no more hesitant than when holding a sword.

But as Nie Yanli said, at least there is some smoke and fire, and she is no longer so alienated and indifferent, making people feel unapproachable.

In the kitchen, two men with world-class martial arts and unparalleled beauty rolled up their sleeves to cook. Lin Yi and Nie Yanli admired enough before wandering to sit under the vine trellis in the courtyard.

"You brought him back?" Nie Yanli asked.

Lin Yi nodded: "Place it in the city. Did Shao Chongyou say anything?"

"No, maybe we'll talk about it when you come back." Nie Yanli said, "He killed his whole family, so it should be true."

Lin Yi leaned on the rattan chair, dressed in red, and half-closed his eyes: "His past was very complicated and unpleasant, but with a little luck, he really didn't care."

"I'm a little curious." Nie Yanli narrowed his eyes slightly, the tails of his eyes were slanted upwards, and the sunlight was scattered among the vine leaves, reflecting the interest in his eyes, "Shao Chongyou's past."
