It rained all night.

When Zhou Li woke up, he was wearing a soft and thin blanket, and the wooden bed was a bit hard, which made him understand immediately that he was not at home, but strangely, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Turning his head, Huai Xu sat by the window, lost in thought as he gazed out.

Perhaps hearing a commotion from Zhou Li, he turned to look at him and said, "You woke up so late today

Is that so

Zhou Li took out his phone and saw that it was already eight o'clock.

It's really late.

His schedule is still similar to high school, and he wakes up at six o'clock these days at home.

Did you sleep too well last night

Looking back now, he did sleep soundly last night and woke up with a feeling of being resurrected with blood. Perhaps only by truly experiencing it can one truly appreciate it.

It seems that the pouring rain noise and the hustle and bustle of the city are two different things that help people sleep.

Huaixu turned around and looked out the window again, saying, "It's not raining anymore. The host has started cooking lamb soup and setting up racks for grilled lamb

Is that so

Zhou Li quickly got up.

He felt that it was not good for him to sleep here while the host was busy outside.

At least I have to keep an eye on it myself

Seeing him wake up, Huai Xu quickly jumped out of the window and said, "They've all had breakfast. I'm sorry to go over and eat if you didn't wake up

Zhou Li:

Simple grooming takes ten minutes.

Zhou Li came downstairs and saw Zheng Zhilan. He felt embarrassed and said, "I slept so well last night. I don't know why, but I woke up late

Zheng Zhilan smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid you won't get used to sleeping. Let's have breakfast

Okay

Breakfast is placed on the table.

Two plates of steamed buns, small steamed buns, with beautiful colors, red and green, as exquisite as those sold in supermarkets, made Zhou Li suspect that he was not in a remote mountain village but in a resort hotel in a scenic area.

In addition to two bowls of clear Congee, a dish of rotten tofu, and a dish of pickles, which are made of lotus white.

Small plates are placed on the table.

The table is also clean and tidy, without any clutter.

Unexpectedly exquisite by Zhou Li.

Huaixu has been holding back for a long time, and suddenly started eating.

This kimchi is delicious

Spicy, crispy, and a little sour

This porridge is so strange, it always feels like it has a special flavor, it's also delicious

Zhou Li, I don't think there's anything wrong with you being with her now, "Huai Xu took some time to say to Zhou Li. After thinking for a moment, he reminded her," But we still can't delay our studies

... eat yours

This monster is really annoying.

After finishing his meal, he walked to the kitchen with a bowl in his hand. The pot was boiling white soup, and after consulting with Zheng Zhilan, he took a basin and scooped water with a gourd to clean on the sink.

He could see Zheng Zhilan from the palm stove and Qinghe from the fire just a little sideways, working together harmoniously. The branches burning in the earthen stove were about the thickness of a wrist. The cracking sound coming from the stove made Zhou Li feel like he was back in his childhood. He vaguely remembered that burning this kind of firewood was very effortless, and he only needed to occasionally send a piece into the stove.

Zheng Zhilan stirred in the pot and whispered, "This morning when Qinghe went out for a stroll, the creek was flooded and the fish basket was washed away. It took a while to find it. There were many fish inside, including loaches and crucian carp, which could be used to make soup. We can grill the rest for lunch

Is there still a small stream here

Well, it flows down the mountain all the way to the bottom, right over there. There are many fish inside, and we often catch them to eat. The small ones can be fried or grilled, while the big ones can be cooked. But the fish seasoning needs to be bought from the bottom of the mountain, and it's troublesome to make it ourselves

That's really good

Last night, I went out with chopsticks to catch two wild rabbits, which seemed to be paired. Today, I have roasted lamb chops, grilled fish, and grilled rabbits for lunch

That little dog

Yes, only it can catch it, the rest will follow behind it as movers

That's really impressive

After washing the dishes, Zhou Li put them in the cupboard and didn't leave. Instead, he stood aside and chatted with Zheng Zhilan.

Zheng Zhilan said that she used to have ten dogs, one of which was raised when she was very young and died when she got older. Now, the remaining nine are still young. They are very intelligent, usually led by Dahuang because Dahuang is the oldest and a local dog, but has different leaders in different situations.

When herding sheep, everyone follows the command of Mantou.

Occasionally, a little fierce wild animal or even wild boar will come down the mountain. At this time, the guard dog will take the lead to scold them away.

When catching rabbits, everyone follows the chopsticks and strikes their hands.

I heard Zheng Zhilan talk about the recipe for lamb soup again. The lamb soup here emphasizes a milky white and thick soup color, and requires the use of crucian carp to make it white, as well as milk powder. Boiling crucian carp soup is considered an authentic method, and when the characters are opened, it turns out to be fish and sheep. However, she had eaten it with milk powder once in the city and thought it had a faint milk aroma, which was also good.

Zhou Li felt particularly calm chatting with her.

Maybe it's because she always speaks softly, or maybe the conversation is very simple.

The crucian carp and lamb bones were boiled for a long time, and Zheng Zhilan served a bowl to Zhou Li.

Zhou Li picked up a bowl and blew it cool.

In one bite, it tastes fresh and thick.

It's delicious

That's it then

Okay

Halfway through the morning without realizing it, Qinghe lit a fire in the courtyard, with well prepared rabbits and lamb chops next to him. Huaixu sat on a small stool and carefully skewered the small fish. Before Zhou Li, he thought that Huai Xu's mind was only focused on fighting and running away besides eating, and he had never seen him do such trivial work before. He found it novel and took a few more glances.

Place the meat on the grill and slowly bake it, allowing it to release oil and gradually release its aroma.

The two of them were chatting while grilling meat, but most of the time it was Zhou Li and Zheng Zhilan who were talking. Qinghe didn't talk much, and Huaixu only knew to ask when they could eat it. He had asked several times.

At some point, the dog also ran back.

After dinner——

Huai Xu lay on the side, picking his teeth with a sharp blade of grass. He lazily said to Zhou Li, "I thought life in this mountain would be very dull and boring, but it turned out to be completely different

Zhou Li glanced at him and said, 'Have you already been moved?'

Huai Xu chuckled and said, "It's sunny this afternoon, so why don't you follow that little girl to study? When the sun shines, I'll go to the mountain with Qinghe to chop firewood

Where to chop

Here~

Huai Xu pursed his lips and said, "Across from here

Zhou Li looked up and saw that the mountains were moist after the rain. As soon as the sun shone, water mist rose up and the clouds were deep and unknown.

Evil gods are churning in the clouds and mist.

Huai Xu casually threw the sharp grass on the ground and said with hatred, "When my strength is fully restored, I will definitely go find him and have a fight

Can you beat it

Hehe, don't underestimate me! "Huai Xu said," Don't look at me for not having wings, I can run faster than him

「……」

At this point, Zheng Zhilan had already taken out the book box, and Zhou Li quickly ran over to cooperate with Qinghe to divide the books into three stacks.

The three stacks of books are arranged in a staircase shape from high to low.

Immediately, Zheng Zhilan pointed to the highest stack and said, "These are the basic knowledge. They may seem like a lot, but there is a lot of nonsense inside, a lot of repetitive introductions, and some records of past history. Excluding these, the content is actually not much

The remaining two piles have two different ways of use

Because demons are of a foreign race and invaders, there have been full-scale wars between previous generations and demons for a long time, so both of these usage methods are used for attacks

I don't know any other ways of using it either

Is there a big difference between these two? "Zhou Li looked at two stacks of books. One stack was over half a meter tall and had more than ten books, while the other stack was only two books and very thin.

Yes, "Zheng Zhilan pointed to the tall stack

How difficult is gold wire

I have been studying for eight years, Xiaocheng, and it is very expensive. It requires high-purity gold as a guide, "said Zheng Zhilan.

Zhi Lan Tian Fu is extremely high, "Qinghe added while standing at the door.

Where did you get your money? "Huai Xu asked.

Sometimes I go to the county or Yancheng to help people deal with matters related to monsters, usually just to mediate in the middle and also go down the mountain to make purchases, "Zheng Zhilan said." Of course, most of them have nothing to do with monsters, so I will charge a little less for these things

Well... "Zhou Li nodded," Psychological counseling should also be charged

Learn that simple one! "Huai Xu urged beside him." That difficult one sounds like a headache! Let me tell you, Zhou Li, you have to believe in yourself. As soon as your spiritual power surges out, no matter what fancy tricks it uses, just push it flat

Okay
