Qu Qiuning and his group walked north along the trail. It was almost noon and the children were hungry, so Qu Qiuning asked Yunfeng to find a flat place to rest.

Yunfeng parked the carriage on the side of the road, a relatively flat place. Everyone got off the carriage and those who needed to urinate went into the bushes.

Li Xiuer changed the baby's diaper and fed the baby. After growing for this period of time, the baby's face became chubby and very cute.

Qu Xinglan led Yan'er to stand beside the horse, looking at the tall horse curiously.

Jing Xu helped his sister Jing Mei collect firewood, and everyone was busy with their own work.

Song Yanfeng found a quiet place, closed his eyes and meditated. He felt that his body was a little different after surviving this attack of the poison.

In the past, I always felt weak and had poor energy, so bad that even walking was a problem, so I tried to find the cause of my physical condition.

Qu Qiuning got into the carriage alone, exchanged for eight braised chickens, unpacked them, put them in a cloth bag, and then got out of the carriage with the bag in his hand.

Then he handed the bag to Gu Changsheng, "Brother Changsheng, please heat this up and serve it as lunch for everyone later."

Gu Changsheng took the bag, opened it and saw that there were cooked chickens, and a lot of them. He hurried to his wife Li Xiuer and nudged her with his elbow.

Open the bag of chicken and show it to Li Xiuer.

"Where did it come from?" Li Xiuer asked in surprise.

"Sister Qiu Ning gave it to me to make lunch for everyone." Gu Changsheng smiled happily.

"Then let's quickly set up the pot and steam the chicken." Li Xiu'er and Gu Changsheng immediately took out the pot, added water, put a bamboo strainer on it, and placed the chicken on the bamboo strainer.

Jing Mei and Jing Xu added firewood to the fire, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted into the air.

Everyone smelled the tempting aroma and walked to the big pot, staring at the iron pot covered with a wooden lid.

Yan'er asked Gu Changsheng curiously, "Dad, Mom, what delicious food did you make that smells so good?"

"It's chicken," Li Xiuer replied to Yan'er with a smile.

"Chicken? Really?" Pang Ya couldn't wait to open the lid and take a look.

"Be careful, it's hot, you can eat it soon," Li Xiuer took the hand that Pang Ya stretched out.

After a while, Gu Changsheng opened the lid, and the shiny braised chicken appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

Everyone knew it must be delicious as soon as they smelled the aroma, and when they saw the color, they were even more amazed.

Gu Changsheng took out a kitchen knife and cut each chicken into large pieces. After cutting, he went to report to Qu Qiuning.

When Qu Qiuning saw everyone drooling, he also started drooling. He also loved this braised chicken.

"Everyone, start eating. Don't just stand there."

As soon as Qu Qiuning spoke, everyone was expected to rush to grab the food, but instead, everyone just took a piece and started eating at the side.

Qu Xinglan and Yan'er each got a chicken leg, and they sat aside contentedly and started eating them with big mouthfuls.

Seeing that Jing Mei and her brother were standing there without moving, Qu Qiuning took a chicken leg and handed it to Jing Xu.

"Jingxu, you and your sister are mine for now, so you're welcome."

Jing Xu held the chicken leg, nodded, and glanced at his sister Jing Mei.

Jing Mei nodded, and Jing Xu began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Qu Qiuning handed a piece of chicken to Jing Mei, "Live for yourself and don't worry about other people's opinions."

"Hmm," Jing Mei took the chicken handed to her by Qu Qiuning and started eating.

Because the word "slave" was branded on her face, others looked at her differently.

"Aning, you eat too," Song Yanfeng handed over a piece of braised chicken.

Qu Qiuning took it, walked to the side and sat down, eating the meat in his hand.

After taking just two bites, Yunfeng and Anye immediately became alert.

Qu Qiuning also noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be some movement in the bushes over there.

An Ye drew his sword and walked towards the dense grass with Yun Feng.

"Who? Come out, or don't blame the long sword in your hand for being ruthless."

Dark Night pointed his sword at the bushes and shouted loudly.

"If you don't come out, I'll kill you."

"No, no, I'm coming out,"

A bald old monk slowly crawled out from the bushes.

"Dear donors, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

I was dreaming in the grass, wandering in the mountains and rivers, when I was suddenly awakened by a fragrance. I wonder what it is that makes me so fascinated?

An Ye and Yun Feng did not relax their vigilance just because he was an old monk.

"Tell me, why is there a person here?"

Yunfeng stared at the old monk and asked sternly.

"I have traveled all over the world and I am here today. What's wrong with taking a rest?"

After the old monk finished speaking, he didn't care about An Ye and Yun Feng's reactions and walked in the direction where the fragrance came from.

The long sword in the dark night was pointed at the old monk, ready to attack immediately if he did anything wrong.

"Oh! It's so lively,"

When the old monk saw a group of people in front of him gnawing on the delicious meat, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked forward a few steps.

When Qu Qiuning took a look, he found that it was the old monk who had given alms of one or two taels of silver at the entrance of the teahouse that day. What was he doing here alone?

The old monk also saw Qu Qiuning and said, "The girl has a Buddha's light on her face, she is so blessed.

It's fate that I meet a girl in this remote place. It seems we are destined to be together.

I don’t know, does the girl still remember me?”

Qu Qiuning looked at the old monk who was dressed in tattered clothes and without even shoes, with a look of confusion on his face.

Why is he here alone in this wilderness? And he is also a martial artist. What if he is a murderer? Then wouldn't their group be in great danger?

"I remember it, but I don't know why the old man appeared in this remote and uninhabited place. Did he follow us?"

Qu Qiuning said this while observing the old monk's expression.

"Miss, you misunderstood. I was going to Ning'an City. The main road was crowded and noisy. I liked quietness, so I chose the small road. That's why I met you here."

"Old monk, my Buddhist name is Bikong, and I am a monk from Juyin Temple. Due to the severe disaster, I have no choice but to go out to beg for food in order to save my life.

I don’t know, can you give me some food?”

As the old monk spoke, his eyes were fixed on the remaining chicken in the pot. It smelled so good that he swallowed his saliva.

Qu Qiuning walked over, picked up a piece of chicken and handed it to Monk Bikong.

"I wonder if the old man can eat this meat dish?"

"Eat. I don't mind eating any meat or vegetables. It would be even better if I could have a drink."

The old monk took the meat from Qu Qiuning's hand and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Qu Qiuning watched the old monk eat with oil dripping from his mouth and wondered, is this a monk? Is he pretending?

He knows martial arts, wears tattered clothes, and has a pair of black feet covered in mud and dust. If he weren't bald and had a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his arm, one would think he was an old beggar.

"After eating, let's go!"

"Well, okay, let's go after we finish eating."

The old monk answered while eating.
