Yao Ximu felt that it would be too troublesome to teach Jiang Wanzhou how to cook, so he might as well do it by himself, but seeing that he was very sincere, he couldn't be too harsh, so he said, "Okay, first pluck the feathers of the grouse and open it up. Break your belly, don't mind your head."

Jiang Wanzhou has always loved cleanliness, and Yao Ximu was ready to throw away chicken feathers when he touched them, but no, Jiang Wanzhou plucked all chicken feathers as meticulously as he studied sword manuals.Taking the small knife that was left aside, he raised his head and asked for advice: "How should the knife be cut open? Horizontal or vertical?"

"Hahaha." Yao Ximu took the knife in his hand with a smile, eyes bent into crescents, and said lively: "Let me come, I'm starving to death, when you finish it, it will probably be dawn .”

Jiang Wanzhou watched him skillfully cut open the grouse and took out the internal organs, feeling very sad.I feel that Xi Mumu is really good everywhere, she is so beautiful, she can do everything, and her temperament is so bright and sunny.Why did he seem to be blinded by lard at the beginning, couldn't see these things, and still felt that there was something wrong with him all over his body?

"Brother Wanzhou." Yao Ximu called him.

"Huh?" Jiang Wanzhou woke up from the nympho and asked, "You called me?"

"Go and pick some big leaves." Yao Ximu pointed forward, "It's over there."

Jiang Wanzhou picked the leaves as promised, and Yao Ximu had already roasted the rabbit, and was turning around to wrap the packed grouse in leaves and covered it with a layer of wet mud.

"What is this for?" Jiang Wanzhou was puzzled.

"Beggar chicken, you'll know in a while." Yao Ximu put the wrapped grouse into the hole dug beside the fire, and filled the hole with soil.He stretched out his muddy hands and ran to the water's edge to wash them off, then came back in a hurry, flipping the roasted rabbit meat.Yao Ximu took out the small bottle that he carried with him and sprinkled the seasoning on the barbecue. The barbecue made a "squeak" sound, and the fragrance was so delicious that it made people salivate.

Jiang Wanzhou imitated his example, turned it over solemnly, and scorched the one in her hand.Yao Ximu took it and handed him the roasted rabbit meat.

"Eat."

"Xi Mu." Jiang Wanzhou said, "Mine is burnt."

"Hmm." Yao Ximu sprinkled the seasoning, tore off one strip, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's just that the outside is a little burnt, it's okay, it's not bad."

After he finished speaking, he put down the barbecue, and ran to dig a pit to grill the grouse, knocked off the crisp and hard mud shell wrapped in the grouse, and tore off the leaves, and the snow-white grouse was immediately exposed, steaming and delicious. Fascinating.

Yao Ximu endured the heat, tore the grouse into several pieces, and picked out a chicken leg to give to Jiang Wanzhou.

"Try it quickly."

Jiang Wanzhou watched him smile like a spring flower blooming, and there were no chicken legs in her eyes, so she grabbed his wrist and leaned over to kiss him.Yao Ximu was taken aback for a moment, and then pushed away very readily.

Chicken legs rolled to the ground.

The two looked at each other. Jiang Wanzhou's eyes were deep and complicated. Yao Ximu didn't want to look any more, so he looked away first, lowered his head and picked up the chicken leg, and then the two stopped talking.After Yao Ximu ate the meat, he found a lot of small branches and dry grass, and spread them on both sides of the fire, which could be used as beds.He lay on it and slept with his clothes on.Yao Ximu played the part of a beggar, and he was considered a prisoner when he was trapped at the bottom of Tianxian Lake, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

But because of Jiang Wanzhou, he has never suffered this kind of crime. He is really delicate and reserved. He has someone to arrange and take care of everything when he goes out. He never thought of sleeping on the branches and dry grass in a feast.It's not clean, it looks uncomfortable, how can I sleep?

Jiang Wanzhou would rather sit by the fire all night.

Yao Ximu woke up after a nap, and stared dazedly at Jiang Wanzhou sitting by the fire, wondering, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Can't sleep."

Yao Ximu squinted at his "bed" over there, and guessed that he thought it was dirty, so he got up and took off his clothes and put them on the hay, and said to him, "Come sleep on my side, it's clean."

Yao Ximu felt that he was annoying, and it was a burden to carry him all the way, so he thought about putting him to sleep, and ran away by himself.

Jiang Wanzhou saw that Yao Ximu had only a thin coat left on him, fearing that he would catch a cold, she hurriedly said, "Put it on quickly, you go to sleep, I'll just watch over it."

Yao Ximu came to the fire and sat down: "I can warm up here, I'm not cold. How can you not sleep? Go to sleep. There is no way to make it too clean in the wild, so you will do it."

Jiang Wanzhou got up and pulled his robe over him, wrapped it around him from the back, hugged him in her arms, leaned close to his ear, and said softly, "Let's sleep together."

The ear is Yao Ximu's sensitive place, and Jiang Wanzhou purposely whispered in his ear, just to see Yao Ximu's reaction.Yao Ximu's whole body trembled, his cheeks turned red, and when he looked back at him, his eyes were strange and surprised, and even faintly sad.

Jiang Wanzhou was a little flustered, but didn't know what to say, she just lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek, and hugged him tighter: "Are you okay?"

"In your heart, I'm just a housekeeper for you. As long as you need something, I must satisfy you, right?"

"Xi Mu." Jiang Wanzhou was terrified, but she couldn't bear to let him go, and explained bitterly, "No, how could you think that way? We were so good before, why not now?"

"I don't want to, you let me go." Yao Ximu was calm and didn't make unnecessary struggles, and laughed at himself: "Of course you don't care what I think, you can force it, anyway, I can't beat it You, as long as you are happy."

Jiang Wanzhou slowly let go of him, "Xi Mu, I... I'm not what you think, since you don't want to, I won't force it." He sighed, sat on the other side, and looked at the fire with his eyebrows frowned. , looked at it for a while, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Yao Ximu's profile, "Let's talk, shall we?"

"Go ahead."

"I have something to ask you, don't be angry."

"You ask."

"Have you had a good time with that Yu Xingye?" Jiang Wanzhou asked tentatively, his tone was sour as if he had drunk a pot of old vinegar, he knew that this question should not be asked and could not be asked, but to him, this matter was like a stick in his throat , with thorns on his back, no longer under the control of reason, and finally blurted out, "Are you like me, eating and sleeping together?"

Yao Ximu looked at him without any shock: "What does this have to do with you?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Jiang Wanzhou's eyes turned sharply, suppressing his anger, gritted his teeth and broke a firewood stick, and said viciously, "You are mine! How can you be nice to others?"

Seeing this, Yao Ximu acted like a conditioned reflex, and suddenly got up and took a few steps back, shrinking his shoulders, to prevent him from hitting someone.Jiang Wanzhou also stood up, quickly dropped the firewood in her hand, and said to Yao Ximu, "Ximu, don't be afraid, I swear I won't do anything to you again, don't be afraid of me."

Yao Ximu was still in shock, his face was pale, he shook his head and said, "I'm not yours..."

Jiang Wanzhou looked at him with confused eyes, fearing that he would be forced to look stupid again, distressed and regretful, she softened her voice and coaxed: "Xi Mu, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, hurry up come over."

The night wind blew through the treetops, the leaves fluttered, the flames swayed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

"I also have something to ask you." Yao Ximu stood still. He stared at Jiang Wanzhou from a distance, regained his composure, and said softly, "I was in the pine forest that night. If I didn't help you Me, are you really going to kill me?"

"Alas—" Jiang Wanzhou covered her face in remorse, this matter has almost become a part of his heart, and every time he wakes up from a nightmare, it will make his heart ache.It's fine not to mention it, but Yao Ximu threw him out so openly, and his heart ached as if he was being pulled into a ball, "I thought you understood me, but I was angry at you for blocking me, how could I be willing..."

"I thought you were willing." Yao Ximu smiled slightly, and said jokingly: "I have been beaten by you since I was a child, I am afraid, really afraid. If you treat me like Wen Chanyi, maybe I will There will be no such doubts."

"Wen Chanyi?" Jiang Wanzhou was taken aback, "Why mention him?" He seemed to understand something, and said slowly: "You always say that I treat him well, but it's just that he is more knowledgeable when talking. Just say more, he doesn't know martial arts, of course I won't fight with him, I have nothing to him. When I sent you to assassinate Grand Master Yu, it wasn't just to avenge him. I didn't tell you, just because I was afraid that you would I have a burden, so I can’t just let it go. I originally planned to tell you after you succeeded, so as to make you happy, but you failed and were injured, so I naturally dare not mention it again.”

Jiang Wanzhou felt the melancholy that there seemed to be a period of separation and reunion between him and Yao Ximu. The old illness was not healed, and it was about to become a chronic illness. sad."

"I did it voluntarily at that time, so I don't blame you for being negligent." Yao Ximu slowly walked back to the fire, added some firewood, and the fire was bright again. Yao Ximu stared at the fire and said softly: "Brother Wanzhou , I won’t hide it from you, I’m on this journey to find the treasure of the Qionglang Sect, and I don’t know how dangerous the road ahead is, so I don’t want you to follow me any more.” He turned his head and looked at Jiang Wanzhou, “It’s hard to eat and sleep in the open on this journey. If you can't eat well and sleep well, don't continue to suffer like this, go back."

Jiang Wanzhou sat beside him, lowered her head in a slumped manner, and said nothing.

"You go back." Yao Ximu repeated, gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart, "I don't want to wait on you along the way, wash your clothes and cook for you."

"That's what you said." Jiang Wanzhou looked up at him and retorted, "I didn't ask you to serve me either."

Yao Ximu was stunned for a moment, not wanting to quarrel with him, "Forget that I've been mean again just now, you can go, I don't want to see you, okay?"

"What do you do if you are in danger?"

"Life and death are my own business, and have nothing to do with you."

"Xi Mu, I'm sorry. I said the wrong thing again. I always say things insincerely." Jiang Wanzhou smiled wryly, "Just treat me as a bitch, and don't drive me away again."

Yao Ximu was speechless, unable to believe that these words came from Jiang Wanzhou's mouth.The two sat there for a while, Jiang Wanzhou didn't talk or leave, and the sky was always dark.After thinking about it, Yao Xi had no choice but to lie back on the bed of branches and dry grass and continue to sleep.

With his eyes closed, he was full of thoughts and couldn't sleep.Inexplicably, Yao Ximu thought of the padded jacket in summer and the cattail fan in winter, and thought of how he was so superior to Jiang Wanzhou when he was infatuated with it.

But now, his heart had cooled down, and he no longer had the enthusiasm he had before, but Jiang Wanzhou became warm and courteous to him.

Yao Ximu was a little annoyed and didn't want to be entangled with him all the time. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Wanzhou's back, secretly lucky, concentrating on his fingertips, and wanted to touch his acupuncture points, throw him here, and walk away Let it go.

"Xi Mu." Jiang Wanzhou seemed to have eyes behind her back, knew what he wanted to do, and didn't look back, and let out a low voice as if she was thinking about herself: "You said that the road ahead is dangerous, how can I let you go alone? Take me with you, as long as I see you are safe and sound, I won't have trouble sleeping or eating."
