Using the system to raise beautiful, strong and miserable villains

"Forget it, after the coal is burned, it's better to keep it just in case. Anyway, there are two bundles of firewood in reserve at the moment. We won't move if we can. In this way, Xiao Zhao will stay here to light up the fire, and I will take the opportunity to go out. I walked around outside and saw that although it was raining heavily, it hadn't been raining for long, and the mountains here were high and densely forested, so I guess it wasn't wet yet. I tried my best to pick up some dead branches and dry firewood, which would be more moist, and put them on the fire later. It can also be used after it is baked and dried.”

"Brother Seventeen, no need, right? These two bundles are enough for us to spend the night tonight."

Chen Xi stared at the rain outside and shook his head, "It's not enough. Look at the heavy rain. I forget it. I'm afraid it won't stop for a day or two."

"That's it, brother, I'll go with you."

"No, Xiao Zhao is obedient. Just stay here and watch the cars and horses. I'll go. Don't worry, I'll be quick. Xiao Zhao will finish his work. When he comes back later, he can dry his clothes and keep out the cold."

Hearing what Chen Xi said, Li Zhao had to nod, "Okay, brother Qi Qi, be careful and hold an umbrella."

"Okay, Xiao Zhao, rest assured."

After seeing Chen Xi off, Li Zhao got busy.

He took out some dry firewood with grease from the firewood pile, used his butcher's knife to cut and scrape out handfuls of shavings, and then chopped and stomped out a small group of small, easy-to-burn firewood, and set up a cross pile. , shavings ignited the cross pile, and when he saw the fire, he quickly grabbed a small amount of firewood to cover it. When the fire got bigger, Li Zhao grabbed the larger firewood on the pile and added more. After a while, the fire was blazing.

Seeing that the boss brother hadn't come back yet, Li Zhao saw the string of fish hanging on the car not far away, so he simply let out the well to get water, set up a sling on the fire to boil the water, took out two wooden basins, and untied the fish ends. Go to the side of the temple entrance and kill the fish.

When Chen Xi came back, he saw his little girl busy killing fish.

After unloading the half-wet firewood from the ring and roasting it in a circle around the fire, Shen Xi rolled up his sleeves and came out to help. After a while, a bunch of large and small fish were killed. Li Zhao directed Shen Xi brought water to make tea, while he set up a frying pan and started frying fish.

There were more than thirty fish on a string, and they couldn't finish them in one meal. They were fried and fried in oil, and they ate half and left half.

"Brother, please help me put the oil in the pot into a pottery pot, leaving a base of oil. I'll cut up some dogwood and shredded onions and ginger and fry them. When the soup boils, I'll order some noodles and cook them with the fish soup. I'll make sure it's more tasty."

Shen Xi listened to Li Zhao's instructions and was busy. Looking at Li Zhao who ran to the carriage to get onions and ginger, Shen Xi's eyes were filled with warmth, "Okay..."

In the dilapidated temple, the bonfire is burning, and the aroma of oil and fish is falling. As night falls, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, the warm fire and the alluring incense in this dilapidated temple in the wilderness bring a different kind of peace of mind to people.

While the two of them were happily drinking soup and eating noodles in the ruined temple, on the road not far from here, a group of people loaded with goods and wearing raincoats and hats that could not shield them from the cold rain were trudging forward.

A man pushing a cart wiped the rain from his face, took a few sips of the cart and shouted to the leader, "Boss, how long do we have to go? This is a fool's errand. Our cart is full of cargo." , otherwise we can just rest on the spot and build a shed!”

The boss who was called out reined in the reins and drove the horse back, inspecting the cars one after another. He suppressed the anguish and anger in his heart and stopped in the middle of the convoy to shout to the people busy in the rain.

"Brothers, it's raining so heavily that even a shed can't stop it. What's more, it's dark and unobstructed in the wilderness. We carry so many goods. We're afraid if anything happens. I didn’t react in time, this time the goods are related to the lives of everyone in our escort agency. If you work harder and move forward, you might be able to find a place to take shelter from the rain! "

As the sound of the escort fell, the men on the car and the car got off the cart again and hurried on. They all wanted to get out of the rain curtain as soon as possible, changed their clothes and got wet and sticky, and got off the ground as soon as possible. In this step, change the muddy ground to a dry place.

The head guard looked anxious, thinking that this was not a problem, so he drove his horse back to the front, and ordered the eldest disciple who was riding towards him with a concerned look on his face, "It's not a big deal if this continues, kid, hurry up and go to the front to check." , look for any shelter from the wind and rain, if there is one, come back quickly."

The apprentice, who was full of concerned words and had no time to ask, did not dare to delay, turned the horse's head and whipped it.

The disciple was so anxious that he whipped his horse and observed all the way. Under the thick rain curtain shrouded in darkness, everything seemed shadowy and unreal. The disciple tried his best but found nothing.

"drive……"

Da da da……

The horse hoofed very quickly, and passed by the ruined temple hidden behind the grass. The red fire flashed past behind the ruined temple, and for just a moment, the people who were traveling around noticed something unusual.

The disciple quickly drove his horse back and walked a few steps. He was sure that there were fire lights behind the dense grass on the side of the road he passed by, and there were wheel marks on the grass. The disciple was overjoyed and thought there was some ground ahead to take shelter from the rain. , too busy to take a closer look at the horses heading back.

Li Zhao, who was enjoying the delicious food in the ruined temple, did not notice anything. All he could hear was the patter of rain outside and the crackle of sparks nearby. Only Shen Xi was keenly aware that something was wrong. He stopped eating noodles and squinted to look outside. When he heard Uneasy about the sudden movement that came and went, he dropped the dishes and chopsticks to appease Li Zhao, and quickly picked up stones and other objects to prepare for the formation.

It was also my fault for being careless. I thought that there was no one around in this wilderness and there was heavy rain blocking the road, so I didn't set up a formation. Now that I think about it, I was still cautious. Now it was prudent to quickly make up for it. I didn't want him to move quickly and rush to take shelter from the rain. People move faster.

The distance between the two places is not that far. The disciple came back very quickly and reported the matter. The headguard was overjoyed and waved his hand and ordered, "Brothers, we found a ruined temple to shelter from the rain. Please work harder and we will be able to do it soon." It’s safe.”

As soon as the sound fell, everyone started to move like chicken blood. The head guard hurriedly assigned his eldest apprentice to lead a few martial arts masters to lead the battle. When a few people rumbled away on horseback, the youngest disciple of the guard head poked his head and asked.

"Master, don't you always teach us that we would rather sleep in a deserted tomb than live in a ruined temple? In a climate like this, weird things are most likely to happen. Master, why are you taking us to live in a ruined temple instead of usual? Master You are not afraid of dirty things..."

"Bah, bah, bah!" The escort laughed angrily at the half-grown apprentice. He slapped the young man on the back of the head and said, "Bad boy, have you been reading those weird books behind your master's back recently? You're a dirty thing, I think you look like a dirty thing! Besides, do you understand what I mean when I say that? I'd rather sleep in a ruined temple than live in a ruined temple. , It’s not that I’m afraid of Nao Shizi...forget it, I can’t tell you.”
