Darkness of Rebirth

Several people sitting around the table looked at the bowls of Yangchun noodles in front of them, and were speechless for a moment.Dongfang Du said with a little embarrassment: "In the kitchen, there are only noodles and rice..." There is no rice, no meat, not even a leaf of wild vegetables, so I can only knead the dough to make noodles—no ingredients are added, only clear soup Noodles - Yangchun Noodles.

In the past winters, the kitchen was stocked with rice, noodles, bacon, Chinese cabbage, etc. How could they have imagined that in today's kitchen, there is not much left even noodles, roughly enough for a few of them to eat? two meals.

Dongfang Du, who had just entered the kitchen and wanted to help Wu Yazi make lunch, saw Wu Yazi twisting his old waist and kneading the dough, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Wu Yazi away, "Master, why do you want to make noodles for us?" Have you eaten? Let me do the job of kneading the dough." Seeing the elderly Wu Yazi kneading the dough, I felt really sad.

"Ahem, didn't you say that the noodles made by Master are delicious since you were a child, and you left one after another, and Master didn't have a chance to make noodles for you again." Wu Yazi sighed with a flushed face, "This dough is kneaded. almost"

"When did I say that the noodles made by master are delicious? Aren't they all senior sisters..." Seeing Wu Yazi glaring at him, Dongfang Du hurriedly changed his words and said, "Ahem, senior sister's noodles are not as good as master's." Do it!" He continued to Wu Yazi with a playful smile, "Let me do it today."

"By the way, master, have you cut up the bacon? I'll make bacon and scrambled eggs later." Dongfangdu, who was kneading his dough, turned his head and said to Wu Yazi who was standing beside him.

"No...no more bacon." Wu Yazi was embarrassed.

"Then cut a piece of cabbage, scrambled eggs with cabbage are also delicious." Dongfang Du picked up the rolling pin, said to Wu Yazi, and turned to roll out the dough after speaking.

"There's no more cabbage..." Wu Yazi lowered his voice, really wanting to leave the kitchen.

"Forget it, I'll fry a few eggs in a while." Dongfangdu thought about adding eggs to the noodles. , nothing..." It would be nice to have noodles, forget about meat and eggs.

What did you just hear your master say?Wu Yazi said that there is nothing but noodles and rice!Dongfangdu turned around and looked at Wu Yazi in disbelief: "Master, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Nothing, Master, are you kidding!Do you want Miss Huang to eat a bowl of noodles with nothing? !Dongfangdu really wanted to throw away the rolling pin!

Dongfangdu looked directly at Wu Yazi in front of him, "There is nothing! Only noodles!" This is Yangchun noodles!No, at least some vegetable leaves were thrown into the Yangchun noodles. What she made was the best of Yangchun noodles—no noodles at all.

"Master, you are at the top of the mountain, what do you eat to fill your stomach?" Dongfang Du still couldn't believe it, how could it be possible that he had nothing but noodles and rice!

Wu Yazi said shyly: "Catch pheasants and hares, go to the lake to catch fish, you can fill your stomach..." He said cutely: "Xiaoduer, why don't Master go and catch a pheasant for you now?" ?”

"Uh..." Dongfang Du shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, it's too late, just eat something, I'll look for it when I'm free in the afternoon." Master is going to catch a pheasant and come back!

After the noodles were cooked, Dongfang Lingwu and the others came over. "Senior Sister, Ling Wu, Yun'er, sit down quickly, you can eat in a while." Dongfangdu stood by the stove and said to several people.

"You guys are here." Wu Yazi stroked his beard and said to several people with a smile.

"Du, this is the first time for me to eat something made by you." Dongfang Lingwu said with a smile, his face brimming with happiness.However, this happy smile only lasted until Dongfangdu brought the noodles to the table.

A few people sat around the table, eating the noodles with nothing in their hearts. Dongfangdu and Wu Yazi buried their heads in eating the noodles in embarrassment. For a while, only the sound of eating noodles was left.At this moment, a loud noise seemed to come from down the mountain.

Dongfangdu was the first to run out of the house, and when he looked up, he saw that the golden fireworks in the sky hadn't dissipated.Several other people followed Dongfangdu out of the house and looked towards the sky along Dongfangdu's line of sight, only to see faint golden fireworks in the sky.

"Du, is this the ringing arrow you left for Brother Wu?" Dongfang Lingwu looked at the golden fireworks in the sky and thought of the ringing arrow Dongfang Du left for Wu Mingxing when he left the palace, and asked worriedly.If it was really Wu Mingxing's loud arrow, he might be in danger.I haven't been in danger yet, but I didn't expect the guards to call for help first.

"Exactly." Dongfang Du frowned, this loud arrow was left to Wu Mingxing by himself, and was used to send a distress signal when he was in danger.Looking at the direction of the fireworks, it should be down the mountain.

"Did Brother Wu stray into the Jiulian Bagua Maze?"

Dongfangdu felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, always feeling that something happened, "Probably not, there is a boundary marker at the foot of the mountain, and our horses are all tied at the foot of the mountain, Brother Wu dare not enter Wuya Mountain at will." He raised his hand Pressing the beating heart in his chest, he turned his head and said, "I'll go down the mountain to have a look, you guys are waiting for me here." After speaking, before a few people could answer, he lifted up his lightness skills and flew out.

"I'll go take a look with Xiaodu." Chu Mi left behind a sentence, and followed Dongfangdu.An Yun turned his head to look at Dongfang Lingwu and Wu Yazi, Dongfang Lingwu frowned and said, "Yun'er, you also go and see, if you really encounter any danger, take care of yourself."

When going up the mountain, because Dongfang Lingwu doesn't know martial arts, and in order to see the scenery in the mountain, several people walked up the mountain slowly. At this time, the three of them are all armed with martial arts, and they just want to get to the foot of the mountain quickly. The clock came.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince" Wu Mingxing saw Dongfang Du, and knelt down on one knee to salute, with a sad face, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, as if hesitating.

"Brother Wu, excuse me?" Dongfang Du helped Wu Mingxing up, and when he left the palace, he said that it was enough to call him Young Master outside, but now he calls himself His Highness the Second Prince with a serious face. If something happened, why would he forget it? call. "Did something happen?" The guards stood safely at the foot of the mountain without taking a step, so what happened must have come from the palace, "Could it be that something happened in the palace?"Could it be that Concubine Mu..." A heart flustered even more.

Just as he was wondering if something had happened to his concubine, he heard Wu Mingxing reply hesitantly: "Back... back to His Highness the Second Prince, it's the concubine Xian..."

"What's wrong with Concubine Mother?" Dongfang Du clenched his hands into fists, pinching his nails into his palms, and suddenly asked, "What day is it today?" I was really afraid that I might have misremembered the time.Wu Mingxing couldn't react for a while, and was so stunned that he didn't answer.

"Today is December, the twelfth of November." Chu Mi walked to Dongfangdu's side and held Dongfangdu's wrist, calming Dongfangdu's restless heart a little.

"Twelve, twelve, okay, not the seventh day of the lunar new year." Dongfang Du murmured with his head down, then looked up at Wu Mingxing, "What's wrong with my concubine mother?"

"There is news that Concubine Xian has suddenly fallen ill. She is very ill. Your Highness, Second Prince, please go back to the palace." As soon as Wu Mingxing received the news from the palace, he thought of going up the mountain to tell Dongfang Du, but As soon as he saw the boundary marker saying that those who trespassed into Wuya could never turn back, and saw the tied horses, he didn't dare to enter at will. Thinking of the sounding arrow Dongfang Du gave him when he was leaving the palace, he hurriedly released it. A loud arrow leads Dongfangdu down the mountain.

"I'm going back to the palace right now." Turning around, I saw An Yun following, "Yun'er, you stay at Wuya Mountain to accompany Sister Huang, and tell her that Senior Sister and I are going back to the palace first." After speaking, he looked at Wu Mingxing and said : "Brother Wu, you all stay here and guard here, and you can go back to the palace with Sister Huang."

As soon as Dongfang Du finished speaking, Chu Mi brought Xiao Hei and her horse over.The two got on their horses, and Dongfangdu thought that he wanted to bring Dongfang Lingwu to experience the life outside the palace, but he failed, so he said to Anyun, "Yun'er, tell Sister Huang to let her stay outside the palace and have fun." For a while, don't rush back to the palace." After a pause, he continued: "Also, don't tell her what happened."

An Yun clenched the sword in his hand, glanced at Chu Mi, and nodded towards Dongfangdu.
