The daily life of the Analects and Tao Te Ching

April 7

"Astronomical experts said that the Boötes meteor shower in June will usher in a maximum on the 23rd. Although the meteor shower has a small flow rate, its meteor speed is slow, and most of them are very bright, which is easy to observe..."

The relevant news was still playing on TV, but I couldn't listen to it anymore, and all I could think about was about the meteor shower.

"The last time I saw a meteor shower was hundreds of years ago. At that time, everyone said it was a bad omen. I didn't expect that Feng Shui will change, and now everyone rushes to watch the meteor shower." I laughed.

Kong Lun nodded, indicating that he hadn't seen a shooting star for a long time.

"Don't say it's popular, after I came here, I rarely even saw the stars. The lights are too bright, completely covering the brilliance of the stars." He said.

It’s okay not to mention this matter, but when I mentioned this matter, I suddenly remembered when I first came to the 21st century.

At that time, we didn't know that the shining things on the side of the road were lamps. We only felt that the light was extraordinarily dazzling. At one time, we suspected that the stars in the sky fell into the mortal world to illuminate everyone.

At that time, I blurted out "the stars here are so bright", but the passing parents taught their children that if they don't study hard, they will become like me, and they don't even know the street lights.

"Want to see a shooting star?" I pretended to ask casually.

"I've said it all, the lights here are too bright, even if there are really meteors, I can't see clearly." He sighed softly, "It's better to stay at home and watch the TV broadcast...... You think so too Bar?"

I was at a loss for words when I heard the words.

To be honest, although I don't like to go out, I just really moved the idea of ​​going to the suburbs with him to watch the meteor shower.

Unlike him, I last saw a shooting star 2000 years ago.I didn't know anything at that time, I just stared blankly at the shiny things passing across the sky and falling below the horizon.

I asked the "Book of Changes" what it was, but he didn't tell me, he just said that the sky is like an image.

But what does it mean to hang down from the sky?

At first I thought it had something to do with wars and famines, and I told other book spirits that.

Until recently, I didn't know that the so-called "shooting star" is just a common astronomical phenomenon, even if nothing happened, the shooting star will still appear as usual.

To be honest, I always feel inexplicably guilty when I see everyone dispelling rumors against some feudal superstitions.

If you go back to the source, it seems that many rumors came from me.

"Do you want to see the meteor shower?" Kong Lun asked suddenly.

"Huh?" I didn't react at all.

"Although it's easier to watch at home, if you have a choice, it's better to go outside to watch." He said.

What he said hit my heart, but I didn't appear very excited, I just gave a faint "hmm" and said, "If you want to go, I can accompany you."

"You want to go, too?" He laughed and poked me. "If you don't want to go, you will definitely say 'Let me think about it', or just say 'No'."

I was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Then let me think about it, isn't it said in "The Analects of Confucius" that one should think twice before acting?"

"Again, it's okay." He shook his head, with an old-fashioned attitude.

Every time I see him like this, I want to laugh. Is there anyone else here, who is he pretending to be a Confucian scholar?

"Let me show you." Kong Lun said, "How about it, what is the result of thinking?"

When it comes to making a decision, how can it be so easy to think about it?

Although saying "think about it" was just a pretense, but I didn't intend to let him go just like that, I pondered for a moment and said: "Tell me the reason for going to see the meteor shower first."

"It was said in the news just now that this is a once-in-a-thousand-year meteor shower! Astronomy enthusiasts all over the world are looking forward to it." He said, "Think about it, there are constantly falling stars in the clear night sky. Just thinking about it makes me feel beautiful!"

"Are you an astronomer?" I looked him up and down.

If the book spirit of "Mengxi Bi Tan" told me about this, I wouldn't be surprised.

But Confucianism is the book spirit of "The Analects of Confucius"!Going to watch the sky at night, if it spreads to the book spirit world, it will definitely be explosive news.

"No." Kong Lun shook his head.

"That's none of your business!" I thought it was a little funny.

It feels like one day "Chu Ci" told me that he wanted to engage in music, and "Journey to the West" told me that he wanted to enter the field of philosophy...

But as funny as those words sounded, they actually did.

Does Kong Lun want to switch to astronomy?

"This is a once-in-a-thousand-year meteor shower! If you miss it, you will have to wait another 1000 years!" he said.

"Then wait." I said.

Although 1000 years is a long time, we are not unable to wait.

When Kong Lun heard what I said, his expression became a little sad: "But 1000 years is too long, and no one can say what will happen along the way..."

He seemed to have something to say, but stopped in the middle of it.

It seems that since the last time the book spirits disappeared collectively, he was always worried that he would suddenly disappear one day.

I was about to say a few words of comfort when he adjusted his emotions and said with a smile, "Even if there is no meteor shower, I still want to go camping with you."

"Ok?"

I was a little surprised, after all, when he wrote the little note before, he didn't mention "camping".

"When the summer is over, we will go back to the book spirit world. Don't you want to make some interesting memories before going back?" He looked at me with piercing eyes, which made my cheeks feel hot for no reason.

I can't stand him like this, last time I agreed to him to come here for vacation in such a muddle.

"But there are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild..."

"I'll bring you a mosquito coil!"

"What if it's boring without the meteor shower?"

"Then watch a movie together on the top of the mountain."

If you watch a movie, it should be more comfortable at home!

I shook my head lightly. I couldn't understand why this guy suddenly felt like he had a chicken blood, and he must go to the top of the mountain to watch the shooting stars.

"Still don't want to go?" His tone was a little disappointed.

"Go." I whispered, "I just said that if you want to go, I can accompany you."

Not to mention watching shooting stars, even if he asks me to accompany him to travel around the world, I am willing.

"What about watching the meteor itself, without considering how I feel?" he asked.

Going to see meteors alone?Then I definitely don't want to go!

I am not a legendary astronomer...

"It is said that making a wish on a shooting star is very effective." Kong Lun blinked and said.

He purposely spoke in that TV villain tone, as if he was seducing an innocent girl.

"It is said that forwarding lucky game coins will bring good luck." I laughed.

I was just trying to tease him, but I didn't expect this guy to nod seriously.

"Yes, you can indeed get good luck." He said.

"You also participated in that game?" I found it incredible.

It's fine for others to be obsessed with metaphysics, but he is the book spirit of "The Analects of Confucius"!

Is he going to leave the Confucian system and join us?

"Of course I have to participate. That's the game currency blessed by the Tao Te Ching." He said with a smile.

I asked him what wish he had made, and he said that the neighbor's dog had caught a cold some time ago, so he wished that the dog's cold would get better soon, and within half a month, the dog was alive and kicking.

Do dogs get colds?

Speaking of something like a cold, even if you don't make a wish, you should recover quickly, right?

I always feel that Kong Lun is deliberately teasing me, but he refuses to admit anything.

"If a dog catches a cold, it is likely to develop pneumonia, and it may even be life-threatening in the end!" He said with a serious face.

"It's really fortunate that the neighbor's dog recovered in time." I yawned and said.

He asked me what kind of wish I would like to make if I saw a shooting star. I didn't have any special ideas, so I threw this question to him again: "What kind of wish do you want to make?"

"Of course the world will be unified." Kong Lun said with a smile, "thousands of years have passed, but my goal has never changed."

The great harmony of the world should be everyone's wish, right?However, it has never been realized, including in the so-called peace and prosperity.

The topic inexplicably became a bit heavy, so I decided to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

"Such a difficult thing, is it too difficult to be a shooting star? He just passed by." I laughed.

"The shooting star appeared for such a short moment, but so many people wished on it. Do you think the shooting star can really be heard clearly?" He asked suddenly.

"From a scientific point of view, meteors are just an astronomical phenomenon," I said.

"From a scientific point of view, book spirits still don't exist!" He gave me a blank look.

I think there is nothing wrong with saying this. After all, book spirits have their own small world, and they only come here occasionally to play.If so, is there some kind of spirit on the meteor that can hear everyone's wishes?

"Making a wish is a matter of sincerity, right?" I thought for a while and said, "If someone made a wish in "The Analects of Confucius", would you hear it?"

"Yes." Kong Lun spread his hands, "But most of the time, I choose to go in the left ear and out the right ear."

"So do I, otherwise it would be too annoying to listen to them babbling all the time."

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong there.

If storytellers can feel the thoughts of scholars through books, then I...

I looked at Kong Lun, but I didn't express the doubts in my heart after all.

There are so many people watching "The Analects of Confucius" every day, maybe he didn't pay attention to my so-called inner voice at all?

After all, when he was reading the "Tao Te Ching", I didn't pay special attention to it, but suddenly I heard someone call my name and I paid a little attention...

Really only care about a little bit!

April 7

sunny

Now that you have decided to go camping, you must make some corresponding preparations.

Originally, Kong Lun and I were still worrying about the tent, but Wang Ge, who lived in the same apartment building, heard about it and agreed to lend us the tent without saying a word, and packed some other camping needs by the way. used things.

According to him, he was also a camping enthusiast in the early years, but after he got married, his wife was unwilling to let him run around, so this hobby was put on hold.

"So the most important thing to get married is to find a like-minded person." Brother Wang took a puff of cigarette, his expression was quite vicissitudes.

"Do you have a bad relationship with your sister-in-law?" Kong Lun asked curiously.

Brother Wang shook his head and said: "It can't be said that it's not good. After all, we were in free love at the beginning. Even if there were any conflicts, we could only comfort ourselves. This is the wife I chose by myself. Actually, it's no big deal. You guys Just listen to my brother complaining, and it would be great if I can learn some experience from it."

After a pause, he said again: "Actually, it's all trivial things. For example, she likes to eat light food, and I like to eat heavy oil and salt; she likes to go shopping, and I like to go outdoors... Sometimes you can't just watch when you are in love. Love or not, after all, love is a consumable, once the passion is over, there will be endless quarrels. The old saying goes, 'Marriage is the grave of love'."

Kong Lun and I looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort each other.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs, but it is better to persuade them to make peace than to persuade them to divide them.

Kong Lun and I advised a few words, but Brother Wang suddenly laughed.

"You are still too young to understand so many twists and turns. Marriage is not as simple as a child's play," he said.

He told us a lot, from the first time he and his wife met, to falling in love, and then into the marriage hall.

"Back then we naively thought that loving each other was everything..."

Brother Wang lit another cigarette and began to puff. Kong Lun didn't like the smell very much, so he got up and opened the window a crack.

"If your sister-in-law sees me smoking one cigarette after another like now, she will definitely lose her temper again." He smiled wryly.

"Since you know she hates you smoking, why do you still smoke?" I asked.

Maybe there is still a difference between a book spirit and a human being after all. I can feel his distress, but I can't understand it.

"I quit smoking, but I failed several times." He said, "If you smoke too much, you will become addicted."

After a pause, he asked us if we usually smoked.

"I saw other people smoking before, and I was curious to try it once, but I didn't like the feeling." Kong Lun laughed.

"I have never smoked this kind of cigarettes, but I have smoked pipes before." I said.

"Cigarette pouch? That's really an antique." Wang Ge said.

I nodded.

I remember that it was probably during the Wanli period. Tobacco had just been circulated in the world. I bought some because I thought it was fun, and I smoked it a few times when I was free.

But I don't think it's addictive at all.

Or as book spirits, we haven't been addicted to such things for a long time?

Brother Wang silently finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, and asked, "Is that the relationship between you two?"

"What kind of relationship?" Kong Lun asked back.

I noticed that he was a little nervous, took his hand, and patted the back of his hand lightly.

"Couple? I don't know if this is the right way to describe it." He said, "I was completely confused at the hot pot restaurant last time, and you two didn't say anything in advance."

"Sorry to trouble you." Kong Lun said.

"We weren't in that relationship before that," I added.

Hearing what we said, Brother Wang suddenly laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, who you like is your own business, I'm just asking casually."

Sure enough... the two men are still too conspicuous together.

I sighed lightly.

In fact, book spirits have no gender distinction, but for the convenience of walking in the world, we usually choose to appear as men.

Logically speaking, we have become the current relationship, there should be one person who chooses to become a female image, so as not to attract strange eyes from people around.

However, for various reasons, we have not seriously discussed this issue until now.

The habit of breaking sleeves has existed since ancient times, maybe it is not bad to keep the male identity like this?

To be honest, both of us are more afraid of dealing with girls.

Brother Wang asked me how Kong Lun and I got together, and the two of us briefly explained to him.

Probably because they liked each other a long time ago, but due to various reasons, they didn't confess their feelings. Last time when they were in a hot pot restaurant, they confided their hearts in a hurry, so they got together logically.

"Does the family know?" Brother Wang asked.

I don't know what happened to the others, but Nan Hua should know something, right?

The last time I told him about my confession, that guy said with a tone that I knew it earlier, and said, "Congratulations to the lovers who finally get married."

I even suspect that he already knew that Kong Lun liked me, but he just didn't tell me on purpose.

"I know, they don't object." Kong commented.

He was clearly explaining a fact, but he lowered his head shyly, looking at his toes, as if some secret had been discovered.

The tips of his ears were red, which reminded me of the jar of strawberry jam in the refrigerator, and I wanted to put the tips of his ears in my mouth to see if they were as sweet.

Thinking of this made me blush too.

"It's really a good thing to get the understanding of the family members." Brother Wang said.

He saw that the two of us had no desire to continue chatting, so he didn't hold back too much.

He carefully checked the things we were going to use, and after confirming that they were correct, he packed them and handed them over to us.

"It's okay to shoot in the tent, but you have to clean it up afterward," he said half-jokingly.

I immediately understood what it meant, and subconsciously glanced at Kong Lun.He was also secretly looking at me, and after meeting his eyes, he hurriedly staggered his eyes.

He's really shy.

"We're going to watch meteors, and we won't do anything in the tent except sleep," I said.

"Young man, don't be so absolute. It's a beautiful night, with a beautiful woman by your side. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen? Unless you are the reincarnation of Liu Xiahui." Brother Wang joked.

There seems to be a record about Liu Xiahui in "The Analects".

I smiled and said: "It seems that after I go home, I have to study Liu Xiahui's story carefully."

Maybe it was because of my ambiguous smile, Kong Lun pursed his lips unnaturally and glared at me.

"There are also records about Liu Xiahui in "Guoyu"! Why do you want to read "The Analects of Confucius"?" He asked.

"Because I like it." I said.

This sentence has a double meaning, and after hearing it, two red clouds floated on Kong Lun's face.

Brother Wang didn't understand the reason. Seeing Kong Lun suddenly shy, he asked curiously, "Whether it's "The Analects of Confucius" or "Guoyu", is there any particularity in it?"

I recalled the character design that Confucius once said, and said with a smile: "He is studying "The Analects of Confucius", so he is very domineering, and I am not allowed to read it."

"Who says you are not allowed to watch it!" He retorted with a blushing face, "But you have to respect it before watching it, and you can't hold a frivolous attitude."

"With an inquiring mind." I said solemnly, "Digging out the connotation."

"Shut up!" He said angrily, "If you keep talking, I'm going to get angry!"

I obediently shut my mouth when I heard that.

But having said that, the "Analects of Confucius" is in my hands, so I can read it whenever I want, and I can read it however I want?

When we took the tent home, Kong Lun was still sulking silently by himself.

Although he didn't say it, according to what I know about him, this guy is just angry.

In order to divert his attention, I proposed to take out the tent and try to set it up, so as not to be at a loss when it was going to be used tomorrow.

"You can figure it out." He said, "I'm a little tired, call me when you need help."

"Okay." I vented.

It is romantic for two people to set up a tent together, but it is suffering for one person.

Brother Wang's tent is an imported product bought from abroad, and there are all kinds of things like instructions, but I can't understand a word of the content inside.

Those alphabetic characters were like little bugs, crawling around in front of my eyes, which gave me a headache.

There is no way, as a book spirit of the dignified "Tao Te Ching", like an illiterate, I can only barely guess the tent building process through the schematic diagram next to it.

This feeling is really super uncomfortable!

I tossed and tossed for a full three hours, and finally put up the tent as it looked in the brochure, but it fell apart at the slightest touch.

A full three hours of hard work was wiped out in an instant.

"I dare not live in such a tent." Kong Lun laughed.

"I don't dare." I muffled.

Although I know that hard work may not necessarily lead to success, I still feel a little uncomfortable after losing such a big face in front of the person I like.

"Why didn't you call me for help?" Kong Lun asked.

He knelt down and helped me tidy up the scattered places of the tent.

"I can do it alone." I pursed my lips and said.

It's just a tent, even without his help, I can still set it up!

Just had a little accident...

"I know you can do it alone, but I also want to live in a tent." Kong Lun stretched out his hand and touched my face, "Can I help too?"

"Whatever you want." I said.

Although I said so on my mouth, my heart was sweet.

"Thank you." After a while, I whispered.

"Thank you? This is what I should do." Speaking of this, he sighed deliberately exaggeratedly, "I thought it would be very difficult for you to set up such a big tent, so I deliberately didn't help at the beginning , I want you to say something nice, please, I didn't expect you to actually set up a tent here by yourself."

I couldn't help laughing when I heard him say that.

"What are you laughing at?" Kong Lun glanced at me and asked.

I didn't answer him, and pretended to make a wish out of the window: "The almighty "Analects of Confucius", it is said that 'half of the "Analects of Confucius" governs the world", my request is not that high, as long as you can help me set up the tent. "

After I finished speaking, I bowed solemnly.

Seeing this, Kong Lun also laughed, cleared his throat, and said, "You shouldn't tell "The Analects" of your wish, you should find "Heavenly Creation" or "Mozi."

"But what if I'm familiar with "The Analects of Confucius"?" I deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Then try to help you as hard as you can, and treat it as a good deed every day." He laughed.

April 7

cloudy weather

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the destination of this trip.

In fact, this place is still a certain distance from the real astronomical observation point, but the road conditions ahead are really not optimistic, so we discussed with the driver and got off here.

"If you take the mountain road, you will reach the astronomical observation point after turning over two hills." The driver said.

The distance between the two hills is about ten kilometers. Although it is not very far, it is not very close either.

As a person who goes in and out on weekdays, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Kong Lun thought about it, and regarded this activity as an outing.According to his thinking, it is good to be able to walk to the astronomical observation point, but if you are tired from walking and find a safe place to stay halfway, it is also a good choice.

"The sky is so big, where can't you see shooting stars?" He laughed.

Hearing what he said, I also relaxed a lot: "The astronomical observation site must be full of people, and crowding each other makes people lose the mood of admiring the night sky."

"You are afraid that you will not be able to reach the observation point due to lack of physical strength!" Kong Lun laughed.

"Are you kidding me? I'm just talking about facts!" I said while lifting the backpack with the tent on my shoulder.

The weight of this tent is not light, and it will inevitably be difficult to carry it after a long time.

Kong Lun saw my worry, and thoughtfully said: "If you feel tired, tell me, let's switch backs."

As the saying goes, "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." I knew how much I was worth, so I nodded and said with a smile, "Then I will say 'thank you' to you in advance."

"So polite? It makes me a little uncomfortable." He laughed.

We walked up the mountain road, and the sound of water gradually appeared in front of us, and then a small lake appeared in front of us.

Several yellow water lilies bloomed on the surface of the lake, half floating and half submerged.When we were chatting later, Kong Lun told me that besides the yellow water lilies, there were also a few white ones, but I didn't see them.

"Maybe a lighter yellow?" I said.

As we approached, we found human footprints by the water's edge and broken water lily stems on the shore.

"Humans really leave their traces no matter where they go." I laughed.

This made me think of a documentary I watched on TV not long ago, which clearly showed us how despicable and crude the motives that drive humans into the mountains are.

Hunters and loggers are usually hired people who toil for pay.

They don't love nature, and few even come to the forest to see how the trees germinate, survive and grow, and try their best to hold the branches high to the sun.

Most people get the satisfaction of seeing trees being brought to market in wide planks of various shapes and think that's where their real value lies.

But trees are more than wood, just as people are more than flesh and blood.

When a tree is cut down, it becomes a dead tree, and it can no more be called a tree than the corpse of a dead man can be called a man.

Can you say that a man who has discovered only whalebone and whale oil has discovered the true value of whales?

Can a man who kills an elephant for its tusks say he has seen an elephant?

Every living thing is or is better than dead, whether it is a tree or a person.

If a person can correctly understand this point, he will cherish life instead of trampling on it.

Man follows heaven, heaven follows earth, earth follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.

From ancient times to the present, there are so many people who study Taoism, how many people really understand the meaning of this sentence?

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly became a little low, and my steps became a lot heavier.

Is this a dereliction of duty on my part?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I did not make any effort to spread the "Tao Te Ching" in the past hundred years, and "Taoism" even became a derogatory term for a time.

Misfortune comes with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes.

It may be because we are more peaceful. When the disaster strikes, although there are a lot less side branches, the core content has not been greatly affected, which is a blessing in misfortune.

"You think too much." Kong Lun shook his head and said, "Since we have agreed to go out and look at the stars, don't think about so many miscellaneous things."

After a pause, he said again: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

"Then what if there is a dead end ahead?"

"Climb the wall."

"Is there a cliff ahead?"

"Jump off a cliff."

I didn't know what to say for a while.

Maybe what I lack is the high-spirited enthusiasm of Confucius?

Closer to home, it was gloomy all day today, and Kong Lun and I estimated that [-]% of the shooting stars would not be seen this time, so we didn't go any further when we reached a suitable place for camping.

"Even if you can't see the fashion, it's not bad to come out and see the mountains and rivers." He said.

"Since it's here, it's safe." I responded with a smile.

However, unexpectedly, when the sun was setting, the sky suddenly cleared up.

At that time, we were walking on the grass at the source of the brook. As we walked, the sky suddenly brightened.

The light was as gentle and bright as the morning sun, lighting up the grass and the tree trunks in the opposite forest.

The shadow we cast on the grass stretched toward the east like a speck of dust in the sun.

The scene in front of me was obviously the same as before, but it was just because of the extra light, it became like a fairyland in the blink of an eye.

The air is warm and serene, and walking under such pure and bright light, I see the leaves are gilded with a layer of gold, which looks so gentle and peaceful.

The west side of each tree and the protruding ground are shining brightly, just like the golden dividing line between the fairyland and the world, which makes people have an illusion of not knowing what time it is.

"Crack-"

The sound of pressing the shutter suddenly came from my ear, and Kong Lun was skillfully taking photos with his mobile phone.

"Speaking of which, you are really lucky. If you want to watch shooting stars, the originally gloomy sky suddenly cleared up." He laughed, "Tell me the truth, do you really have the magical ability to communicate with the world?"

"Maybe." I stretched and said.

Kong Lun said that he should take more photos and show them to the other book spirits when he went back.

I didn't have too many thoughts, but I silently took out my phone.

The appearance of Kong Lun running around in the sun is so cute!It's like a golden elf!

For some reason, I suddenly thought of the content of a modern poem I saw a few days ago:

You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery,

Viewers are looking at you upstairs.

The bright moon decorates your windows,

You decorate other people's dreams.

I don't know what the author was thinking when he wrote such a sentence, but one thing is certain, the person looking at the scenery in front of me is destined to appear in my dreams in recent nights.

The sun was gradually setting, and we picked up a lot of dry branches on the way back, planning to light a fire when we went back.

"The camp provides fuel, why do you have to pick up branches yourself?" Kong Lun asked as he walked.

I pursed my lips, my cheeks felt a little hot.

The camp was full of people, and I just wanted to spend more time alone with him, and I didn't want to go back so soon.

But for such a simple reason, I couldn't say it anyway, and said awkwardly: "This is more economical."

Hearing what I said, he was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, "You...don't have enough money recently?"

When we first arrived here, we checked the balance on the bank card. If there is no accident, it is enough for us to spend this time.

Having said that, except for "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "36 Strategies", other book spirits seem to have never spent all their money while on vacation.Those two guys were trying to kill themselves, and they wanted to compete. The monarch said that the treasury was not enough and wanted to make peace, but they continued to fight with their own pockets... Until now, this matter is still talked about by the book spirits after dinner. a funny thing.

"If the money is not enough to spend, you support me?" I joked with a smile.

It was just a joke, but this guy actually nodded seriously.

"I support you." He said.

I thought he was joking, but his expression was so serious that I couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

"Just kidding, how can I really let you support me." I smiled, "I have good teeth and don't eat soft food."

"That's really a pity, and I thought I could take this opportunity to support you." He sighed exaggeratedly on purpose, showing an annoyed expression.

We returned to the camp at about seven o'clock in the evening, and there were already many tents with barbecue grills, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue.

We originally brought food, but we were aroused by the smell, so we also rented a barbecue grill.

"The rest is up to you." Kong Lun patted me on the shoulder with a trusting expression on his face.

I told him not to have too much hope, it was also the first time I used such a tool, but he said that as long as I can cook it well, he can eat it no matter how unpalatable it is.

"Anyway, it's better than gnawing bark," he murmured.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic, right? Anyway, I've been cooking for you for so long, and the taste is basically guaranteed."

After a pause, I said again: "Besides, if it's really not tasty, you can also choose to eat what's in the bag. You don't have to grit your teeth and eat it hard."

"But according to the strategy, no matter how unpalatable the other party's food is, you must eat it with gratitude." He muttered in a low voice.

I thought I heard it wrong, and was about to ask again, when suddenly a few young people walked towards me talking and laughing.

"Are you guys going to make barbecue too? We bought a little less ingredients here, and want to change something." One of them said.

I noticed that she was carrying the plastic bag of food in her hand, so I looked at Kong Lun and asked, "Should I change it?"

"Listen to you, anyway, it's you who bakes, I eat everything the same," he said.

"We have beef skewers, lamb skewers, chicken wings, enoki mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant..."

Does this mean that the ingredients are relatively simple? !

I glanced at the girl suspiciously, she slowly lowered her head, her face was so red, she looked timid.
