Rice bug

Although Zang Feilong didn't admit anything, he didn't object to anything either.He listened to Lin Dong's words with a noncommittal attitude. After the two were silent for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "It's late, go to sleep."

On the second day, Lin Dong fell into a distressed situation.

If what he said is correct, Zang Feilong is a descendant of the Zhanshen family, but it is not known how he escaped from the Nine Clans.Although the surname Zang is rare in this land, it is not uncommon. It is true that the general of the Flying Lion Army's God of War was Zang, but it was only because it was too long and Lin Dong didn't know much about it. Naturally, he didn't bring the bandit leader and the general together.

But now he is going to pretend not to know, okay?Or do you know better?

His chubby little face was wrinkled into a bun. He moved a small bench and sat by the rice vat, playing with his hands in the white rice, thinking about it.

Chen Nanhai squatted beside him and watched for a long time, finally couldn't help but said: "Is rice fun?"

"Ok?"

Chen Nanhai pointed to his hand holding the white rice.

Lin Dong snorted, and moved his nose, "Your rice is very fragrant, soft to the touch, very good."

So it's fun?Chen Nanhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is it fun to be born? Or is it fun to be familiar?"

"How can you play with cooked ones?" Lin Dong shook his head with a look of you spoiling food, and said seriously: "You can play with raw ones, and eat cooked ones."

Chen Nanhai simply found a stool, sat down by the rice vat, held the rice in his hand like Lin Dong, leaned over and sniffed it.

The thick rice fragrance is tangy, it is not fresh, it is very complex.

After sniffing for a long time, the dust on the rice seemed to stick to his throat. Chen Nanhai frowned uncomfortably, and raised his head, only to see Lin Dong's entire face buried in the rice pile.

Chen Nanhai: "..."

It took Lin Dong a long time to raise his face, and while wiping off the particles stuck to his face with his hand, he said, "I like to stay by the side of the rice vat when I think about things."

"why?"

"Because the head is easier to wake up."

Burying your face in rice will make your head clear?Chen Nanhai suddenly wanted to pry Lin Dong's brain open to see what was inside.

Lin Dong didn't explain more, and said while pinching and playing with the rice: "Rice is different from rice, with different aroma, different size, and different hardness. Some rice is very soft when pinched. Sometimes you don’t need to add too much water, otherwise it will be too sticky; some rice is very hard to pinch, so you need to add more water, otherwise it will be hard and astringent when cooked.”

Chen Nanhai asked with interest: "Then do you like soft or hard food?"

"I like soft and hard ones." Lin Dong pointed to the steamer on the stove, "First cook the rice until it's half-cooked, then pour cold water out of the pot, filter the water and steam it on the steamer, and wait until the rice is cooked through. The pieces will be separated, full and round, and the taste will be better when chewed."

Chen Nanhai pointed out something, "I wonder if the Mi Ke in our cottage is still to your liking?"

Lin Dong turned his eyes back and looked straight at the man.Chen Nanhai smiled lightly, as if it was just a casual greeting.

"Rice...fortunately, the heat is not enough."

After a while, Lin Dong spoke slowly.

Chen Nanhai laughed even deeper, "Looks like we need to add some more firewood."

Lin Dong looked at him puzzled, "Why must it be me?"

He just wanted to find a secluded place, away from disputes, where he could eat and drink well.

He thought that being in this cottage was a gift from the heavens, but he didn't know that it was a catastrophe.Not to mention avoiding the world, but now he has been implicated in a huge vortex.

In fact, he will sit by the rice vat for a few hours today, just to think clearly about the way forward.Either pretend to be ignorant, find a chance and go down the mountain and leave, anyway, Zang Feilong also said that he can stay at will; or...

Thinking of the latter, Lin Dong frowned, and rationally told himself that it was definitely not wise to be tied to the same boat with Zang Feilong and others, but if he left here, maybe he would have to worry about it.

Once a secret is known, there are very few people in this world who can act as if they don't know or even forget it.But Lin Dong was not among them.

Even if you leave now, maybe you will be overwhelmed with imagination whenever you hear any trouble in the future, and you may be even more tired by then.

As if knowing that Lin Dong was struggling, Chen Nanhai said: "As you can see, this cottage is full of people who are loyal to Zang Feilong. Some of them escaped from the famine and were rescued by Zang Feilong, and some of them were actually Zang Feilong himself. Although there is loyalty, it is difficult to become a big man. A group of countrymen, most of whom are illiterate, if Zang Feilong wants to win Haotian, he will not have enough people."

Without raising his head, Lin Dong said, "Isn't there still you?"

Chen Nanhai smiled, "No matter how many counselors there are, there can never be too many. Isn't Mr. Lin a disciple before? You should be very familiar with giving advice."

This was the first time Chen Nanhai called him "Mr. Lin", which indirectly showed his attitude of wanting to keep Lin Dong.

What Lin Dong was thinking about was something else: he was penniless when he went to Beijing, he was rejected and unable to take the scientific examination, and he couldn't go home, so he had to find a way to support himself.Otherwise, he starved himself to death when he went to Beijing for the exam. This joke would really ruin his wisdom for the rest of his life—although he has nothing wise to ruin.

Being a doorman is just a last resort, especially after a long time, he understands the complexity of some things, and he is no longer interested in scientific research. Interesting dirt road.

He likes money because money can make him live better.This kind of goodness is not about sleeping in a golden mountain, living in a big house, and raising all kinds of beauties in the backyard, but about having money so that he can eat all kinds of delicacies. He touched it thoroughly.

So being an official may make you a lot of money, but you may not be able to spend the money on what you want to enjoy.When people become officials, they want to make profits, and money to make money, and most of the books are taken out for filial piety and recovered.If he were an official, his money might have to be spent on finding chefs and places to eat delicious food, but his connections in the officialdom were well-connected, and it was difficult for him to please others by doing what he did, and instead caused trouble for himself.

After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, he completely cut off his official career.I thought it would be a good idea to give advice to others, and to look around for food during the day, but he was born to be able to eat, so he was chased around and suspected everywhere.

These days, it's not easy to find someone to rely on for food...

Chen Nanhai didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would probably immediately pat his chest and promise that Zang Feilong would take care of him.

Seeing Lin Dong's thoughtful face, he said sincerely: "I also know that this matter is too troublesome, if it is not done well, it will be a disaster of death. But you know what kind of person Haotian is, even if Zang Feilong can let go Haotian will not let him go. I will fight with him anyway, and there is only so much I can do for him."

Speaking of this, Lin Dong became curious, "How did you and Da...Brother Feilong meet?"

"This is a bad fate, so don't mention it." Chen Nanhai smiled, "In short, I promised him three things, and until these three things are done, I have to stay by his side."

"Which three things?"

"The first thing is to help him avenge." Chen Nanhai said, "He hasn't said the last two things."

Lin Dong blinked.Well, just this first one is already even more difficult. It seems that Zang Feilong is also a person who can talk like a lion.

Seeing Chen Nanhai looking at him eagerly, Lin Dong's struggling heart swayed back and forth.

"Maybe..." He tried hard to find a decisive reason for himself, "Maybe we should ask the big... Brother Fei Long about this matter."

No matter what he and Chen Nanhai said, Zang Feilong was the one who decided whether he would stay or not.

Chen Nanhai seemed to be waiting for his words, before Lin Dong could react, he picked him up and performed lightness kung fu and flew to Zang Feilong's yard.

"Big flying dragon!"

bang——

The door of the room was kicked open, and Zang Feilong raised his face to the sky and yelled, "Don't call me by that name again!"

Chen Nanhai landed steadily, and pushed Lin Dong in front of him, "Leave him as a military advisor."

"military adviser?"

"If you want to win against Haotian, he is an indispensable help." Chen Nanhai analyzed clearly: "He once stayed in the family of a powerful man, and he knows the current situation of the court better than you and me. Most importantly, he has read Books, can read."

The corners of Zang Feilong's eyes twitched, "My king can also read."

Chen Nanhai's expression remained unchanged, "But you might as well not know."

"..."

Chen Nanhai had exhausted all the advantages, Zang Feilong touched his chin, and looked down at the boy who had just reached his chest.

"He's still a kid..."

Chen Nanhai was a little surprised.When it comes to revenge, Zang Feilong always loses his judgment. Once he tells him about these benefits, he should immediately nod and agree, but he is hesitating now?

Lin Dong, who had been pushed around like a cargo, finally said, "How do you plan to take revenge?"

Bring a whole cottage and rush into Chang'an?Isn't that premature death?Before he reached the gate of the palace, he should have been shot by the random arrows of the imperial guards.

Zang Feilong said in a deep voice: "Find all the evidence that can bring him down at once."

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, not too irrational.

Chen Nanhai said: "Actually, we now lack a matchmaking person. General Zang's former friends were framed by Haotian and scattered as officials in other places, far away from the capital. If we start to make arrangements, we must first contact them."

Zang Feilong said: "If you can think of it, Haotian can think of it too. He has been looking for my whereabouts for so many years, and now that he has found it, how can he let me leave here so easily?"

In other words, Chima Town is now full of Haotian's eyeliner.

If they take action, they will definitely be attacked first.

Lin Dong said: "Maybe we should create a little trouble for him."

In this way, time can be delayed to discuss big plans. Although Lin Dong is lazy, he does not like to be suppressed and beaten by nature. Rather than sitting and being watched, it is better to make the watchers feel uncomfortable.

Zang Feilong raised his eyebrows, "For example?"

Lin Dong's round face unfolded, his brows and eyes were curved, and he said with a smile: "Stay unchanged to meet all changes."
