Mikago

Silently made up his mind, Lu You seemed to put down a big rock.He finally felt relieved, and after a while he fell asleep.

The dreamless night passed quickly, when the morning light came in through the window lattice again.He opened his sleepy eyes and found himself alone in the room.

Slowing down a little, Lu You put on his clothes and got up to go out to wash.As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Tang Ruilang standing beside a locust tree, looking up into the distance.

Lu You also looked in that direction, only then did he realize that there was a blue-colored cliff standing on the north side of Li Palace.I saw that the cliffs were colorful, and there were clumps and patches of alpine rhododendron everywhere.

The moonlight was hazy last night, coupled with the mist on the mountain, I almost missed such a beautiful scenery.

Lu You vaguely recalled that this Li Palace was originally the palace of the former dynasty, and the clan of the former dynasty had Wangdi Du Yu as their ancestor.I'm afraid that such gorgeous and beautiful rhododendrons were all planted one by one by those absurd emperors in the last years of the previous dynasty.

He then sighed that time is really a strange thing - as long as enough time passes, those absurd things that once caused the predecessors to complain may also become a pleasing spectacle for future generations.

So is it possible that one day, those tragic entanglements in my memory will be washed away by time and become irrelevant?

At that time, how will you look back and evaluate yourself at this moment?

He was lost in thought when he heard an eagle howl in the air.I saw a vigorous white eagle with white hair and blue spots, gliding down the cliff holding a branch of rhododendron.

Isn't this Tang Ruilang's bird?

Suddenly, the white eagle flew into the small courtyard.Tang Ruilang praised it, took the cuckoo on its claws, and took out dried meat from his waist pocket as a reward.

The white eagle was not in a hurry to enjoy it, but instead yelled at Lu You who was standing by the door.

Tang Ruilang turned his head according to the sound, and said with a smile, "Are you up?"

Lu Youxu responded, unable to hold back his curiosity: "What do you want these flowers for?"

Tang Ruilang said: "The paddock we went to today has a large lake. There are groups of fish swimming in the lake, and there is a kind of heavy-lipped fish that is plump and cunning. The normal fishing method will definitely not take the bait. You can only use it to catch the bait. Rhododendrons come to 'fish'."

"Cuckoo fishing?" Lu You had never heard of it, and was half-believing.

Tang Ruilang didn't tease him either: "I can't get to the paddock until noon today, and I'll cook grilled fish for you."

Morning light is limited, not to be squandered.After breakfast, the army slowly set off and rushed to the next paddock.

This paddock is located on the outskirts of Liuquan City, so tonight, the army will live in Liuquan Palace.

Recalling that last year, I secretly came to Liuquan to visit my sister, but now my sister is in the East Palace... Lu You couldn't help but sigh as if it was a lifetime ago.

At noon, the army arrived at the paddock.All kinds of camping and ceremonial procedures are as orderly as the day before.

When the auspicious time comes, the prince's team will still start first.It's just that this time Tang Ruilang found an excuse to act alone, and of course dragged Lu You who wanted to see how Du Juan "fished".

The two led the dog and held the eagle, and walked all the way through the woods towards the place with the sound of water.After a while, I saw a long river meandering through the forest.

Tang Ruilang led Lu You down the river, and soon found an oxbow lake.He tied his horse to a tree and walked down the shallow water.

"Look there!"

Tang Ruilang threw a stone somewhere on the shore.Lu You looked over and saw a large group of frightened fish fleeing in all directions in the crystal clear lake water.

"Wait here, it will be fine in a while."

With that said, Tang Ruilang took off the bag from the horse.After the lake calmed down a bit, he opened his bag and dumped the rhododendrons he picked off one by one into the water.

The colorful rhododendrons in white, yellow, red and purple are floating and spinning on the crystal clear lake, as if floating in mid-air-this scene is not bad.However, what really surprised Lu You was yet to come.

One, two...More and more fish are attracted by the bright rhododendrons, and they gather towards the lake.They raised their heads to the sky, opened their mouths wide, and ate the fallen flowers mouthful.In the quiet surroundings, only chattering can be heard for a while.

"here we go!"

Responding to Tang Ruilang's announcement, I saw a touch of white suddenly appearing in the blue-black school of fish - there was something wrong with a fish and turned over and lay on its side in the water.

And this is just the beginning.

As the rhododendrons on the surface of the water became less and less, more and more fish began to lose control in the water. They staggered sideways, opened and closed their mouths in embarrassment, like a group of drunks spinning in the water .

"Could it be that this rhododendron...is poisonous?" Lu You suddenly understood: "What will happen to that person if he eats fish?"

"Such a few petals won't do anything to people. Even a fish, after being drunk for a while, it will be sober."

While speaking, Tang Ruilang had already rolled up his trousers, took off his shoes and socks and walked into the water.He picked up a few without any effort and threw them to Lu You on the shore.

"Take it!"

"..."

Lu You wasn't even mentally prepared, so how could he catch a big, slippery fish?In a hurry, he caught and dropped, dropped and caught, and went back and forth several times before using the hem of his robe to catch the fish, but he was also in a panic.

After fishing about six or seven fishes, Tang Ruilang stopped.He came ashore again, pulled out a few willow sticks through the gills of the fish, all of them were strung together, and picked out another one of a moderate size, ready to cook.

Lu You also learned some cooking skills at Lu Yinger's house, but at this moment he just kept silent and only watched how Rui Lang acted.

I saw Tang Ruilang carrying the fish to the river, disemboweling him and washing away the blood.Then use the self-defense dagger to scrape off the scales of the fish, and carry it back to the forest again.

Before that, they had found a relatively open forest clearing and set up a small bonfire.Tang Ruilang still asked Lu You to sit aside, found a few branches to prop the fish's belly open, wrapped it in a few leaves that exuded a strange aroma, and grilled it on the fire.

But after a while, there is a faint smell of fish coming out from the leaves.

At this time, Tang Ruilang used his dagger to pick apart the leaves, only to see a puff of water vapor rising into the air.The translucent fish flesh has turned snow white.He took out another small off-white bowl from the bag.After grinding it with a stone a few times, a lot of white powder immediately fell on the fish.

It looks like this bowl should be made of salt rock.

Seeing his skillful movements, Lu You couldn't help asking: "Where did you learn this?"

"These are essential survival skills for marching and fighting. Don't look at me like this, I used to go out hunting with my family from time to time. And field hunting is also a kind of military training. In case one day I was sent to defend the border and fight on the battlefield, If you don't even understand this, won't your subordinates look down on you?"

Tang Ruilang was talking, but his hands didn't stop.After a while, the fish was completely grilled and delivered to Lu You.

Lu You took a pinch of the leaves and put it in his mouth, the meat was really tender and had a special flavor.

The two of them calmed down for a while, and each ate grilled fish.

Although the atmosphere was not awkward, they both understood that if they spoke again, it would be the most sensitive matter.

In the end, Tang Ruilang took a step forward.

"Zoran, have you considered what happened that day...Giving me another chance is also giving yourself a chance."

"I……"

With the psychological construction last night, Lu You has almost made a decision.

However, just as he was about to nod his head down, he heard a "touch", and the bonfire in front of them suddenly disappeared.

A huge pothole with a diameter of seven or eight steps appeared on the spot, which obviously could not be formed naturally.

Lu You and Tang Ruilang looked at each other, then looked into the pit at the same time.

I saw five or six bamboo tubes inserted into the bottom of the pit.The deliberately sharpened top pokes straight at everything that falls into the hole.

How is this going? !
