The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

73. Heartbeat

The engagement ceremony is actually not complicated and can usually be completed in half a day.If the woman takes a fancy to the man, she will definitely keep the man for a meal.There are [-] dishes for this meal to show how much the woman values ​​the man.

He Lang and the others came too early, and he has endured too few tests.As a result, Ji Ping'an and his party could only wait to eat at dawn.

Fortunately, Taohuaxi Village is very big, so you can walk around the village if you are in a hurry.

Although Taohuaxi and Qingshuiwan are not far away, Ji Pingan seldom comes here because he has to cross the river.Normally, he would definitely take this opportunity to take a look, maybe even buy some special products.

But now he doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to go home.But today is He Lang's big day. As He Lang's best friend, even if his heart is full of claws, he can't leave Taohuaxi now.

Sitting at the big round table, Ji Pingan emptied his mind, and thought of Xiaobai again.

Usually at this point, Xiaobai should get up, right?What is he doing now?Are you feeding the chickens, or watching the fish by the fish pond?Or go to the vegetable field with a bamboo basket to pick out the vegetables to eat at noon?

Growing up so big, Ji Pingan felt for the first time what it means to return home like an arrow.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at He Lang.He Lang was grinning, showing a mouthful of white teeth, chatting and laughing with the two eldest brothers of the Zhang family, looking at He Lang with a happy face, Ji Pingan was very pleased.

Originally he was happy, but He Lang was stunned and made him restless.After thinking for a while, Ji Pingan made a serious decision: in two days, he had to withhold some of the meatballs he was going to make for He Lang.

It was quite cold just sitting there, and there was no one to strike up a conversation with Ji Pingan. He felt that he was out of tune with the happy atmosphere.Well, why not take a walk in the village.

He heard that someone in Taohuaxi raised a lot of pheasants. During the cold winter months, people came to Taohuaxi to choose pheasants in an endless stream.After thinking for a while, Ji Pingan stood up, walked to He Lang and said hello to him: "I'll go out for a walk, and I'll be back soon."

He Lang responded, "Don't go too far!"

Taohuaxi is much bigger than Qingshuiwan, and there are five or six hundred households in the West Village alone.It took time for a cup of tea to walk around the village. Standing on the trail in the middle of the village, Ji Pingan heard the undulating crowing of cocks.

Ji Pingan raised a few chickens in his own family and felt that they were already noisy enough. Unexpectedly, the villagers in Taohuaxi faced cock crowing every day dozens of times more lively than his family.

He wanted to pick a few pheasants, but he walked uncontrollably along the path towards the pier when he came.When he came back to his senses, he was already standing by the pier, facing east and looking at the way he came.

The cold wind blew on his face and it was freezing cold. When he looked closely, he saw a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the river near the bank, and a faint layer of mist floated on the place where there was no ice.

The old boatman's boat was parked at the opposite pier, and the boat's hull cut through the ice, causing circles of ripples.

Ji Pingan stared at the boat and thought wildly: It would be great if Xiaobai was on the boat now.He regretted it a bit, and brought Xiao Bai out if he knew about it.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, Ji Pingan can only sigh a long sigh for his unwise actions.

People, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I'm used to Xiaobai's company, but he can't stand it after just being apart for a few hours.He Lang is right, he just fell in love with Xiaobai.

It's all to blame for He Lang, who figured out what he was thinking so quickly.He couldn't hide what was on his mind, so how could he face Xiaobai who didn't know anything?

Ji Pingan sighed in distress, saying that feelings are the most painful, he has seen it.It is said that he thinks day by day and dreams at night, and he can't control himself before he sleeps.

How can this be good, when he thinks that he will pretend to be indifferent to get along with Xiaobai in the next few days... Thinking about it makes him feel very tormented, and his whole body is depressed.

Forget it, let's calm down and go buy some new year's goods. Instead of thinking about what you have and what you don't have, it's better to let nature take its course.Grandpa said that feelings cannot be forced, what is his is his after all, what is not his, he can't force it.

The old boatman's boat began to turn back, and the black oars slid across the water, making crackling sounds.There were only two people on the boat, one was an old boatman with an oar, and the other was standing on the front of the boat facing Ji Ping'an.

Ji Pingan was about to turn around, but with just this glance, his footsteps hesitated: Why does this person on the boat look so much like Xiaobai from his family!

But...impossible, how could Xiaobai come here?Xiaobai has never been to Taohuaxi, let alone he promised that he would take good care of the house at home.

In the world of ice and snow, kittens are most afraid of the cold.It must be a coincidence, not Xiaobai.

Ji Pingan persuaded himself like this, but while speaking, he couldn't help but want to take another look.

What if it was Xiaobai from their family?

Afraid that he could not see clearly, he was going to concentrate his whole body's aura on his eyes.In fact, this trick is quite stupid, since he only knows the simple art of controlling spirits, it is very tiring for him to gather the spiritual energy in his whole body.Secondly, the river is so wide, the old boatman can dock in a short time, and he doesn't need to waste time and energy to do this kind of thing.

As long as he wants to, just stand on the shore and wait for a while.

But he still wants to take a look ahead, even if that person is not Xiaobai, he can give up.

Before he started to gather spiritual energy, the people on the boat had already spoken: "Peace——"

It's Xiaobai! !

Ji Ping'an's eyes blurred instantly, he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, his whole body was enveloped by a great sense of happiness.After his grandparents passed away, he never thought that one day he would be so excited because he saw someone.

Ji Pingan, who is used to being alone, has always felt that he is quite strong, but seeing Xiao Bai's figure becoming clearer and clearer, Ji Pingan's strong support collapsed in an instant.

The old boatman quickly pulled the boat to the shore, and Xiaobai stepped down from the bow of the boat in one step: "I saw you on the other side!" He walked up to Ji Pingan in three steps and two steps together: "What's wrong? Eyes Why are you popular? Who bullied you?"

Ji Pingan sniffled, he suppressed the urge to hug Xiao Bai.After taking a deep breath, his voice was trembling: "Why are you here? Why didn't you sleep at home for a while?"

Xiaobai's clear eyes reflected Ji Pingan with reddish eyes. In the past few hours, he seemed to have lost his soul, and Ji Pingan was always in his mind every moment.

In his long life, no one has ever made Xiao Bai so haunted by dreams.Later, at Xiao Huang's suggestion, he decided to come out to find him.

He wanted to tell Ji Pingan the truth, but he swallowed the words abruptly.He smiled and said: "Isn't there no rice at home? I dragged a load of rice to Taohuadong. I thought you were nearby, so I came to look for you when I came."

Ji Ping'an's heart was in turmoil after recovering just now, Xiao Bai was really caring.Such a good Xiaobai, how could he not be tempted.

Seeing Ji Ping'an's complicated expression, Xiaobai asked a little nervously, "I...shouldn't have come?"

Ji Pingan smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just in time! Let's go buy chicken!"

As soon as Xiao Huang heard that there was a chicken, Xiao Huang's head popped out from the back basket behind Xiao Bai: "Chicken?! Where is the chicken?!"

Ji Pingan: ...

Xiaobai said helplessly: "Knowing that I'm going out, this guy will follow. I was afraid that leaving him alone at home would tear down our house, so I brought him out. Don't you mind?"

Ji Pingan smiled and shook his head: "I don't mind."

Xiao Huang's eyes sparkled: "Ping An, I miss you so much when you're not around."

Ji Pingan smiled and touched Xiao Huang's head: "I miss you too."

Xiao Huang chuckled twice: "Xiao Bai misses you too!"

Ji Ping'an's heart beat suddenly fast, he took a peek at Xiao Bai, who happened to meet Xiao Bai's eyes.His cheeks were a little red: "I miss you too."

Xiao Huang squatted in the basket and looked curiously at the scenery of Taohuaxi. In front of him, Ji Pingan and Xiao Bai were walking side by side.The two discussed how many meters the rice could produce, and walked towards the back of the village while talking.

When passing by the door of Cuicui's house, He Lang's eyes widened suddenly, and he slapped his thigh: "Look, what did I say!"

Ji Pingan's cat and road are number one in the world, wherever there is Ji Pingan, there must be him!Of course, where there are the two of them, there must be Xiao Huang.

Without further ado, He Lang took Xiao Huang out of the basket: "Come on, Cui Cui, let me introduce Xiao Huang to you!"

The golden and chubby little Huang attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came out of the basket, and people surrounded him in amazement: "This is the spirit beast that saved your life! He looks so cute!"

"Hey, chick, I heard you can talk? Say something and listen?"

Ji Pingan looked at Xiao Huang worriedly: "Xiao Huang won't attack Lang Zi and the others, will he?"

Ji Ping'an was worried that Xiao Huang would explode and hurt someone, because this is a chicken that can even bring down a wild boar... chicken.

Xiaobai smiled and said: "Don't worry, that guy is born to be smug, the more people around, the happier he is."

When he went to Pingqiao Town last time, he was very happy, and he didn't see him making trouble when he was surrounded by little girls in the cloth village.

Xiao Huang, who was surrounded by everyone, was indeed a different chicken. He raised his neck arrogantly and questioned He Lang: "He Lang, you said you invited me to eat something good?!"

Everyone exclaimed: "My God, he can really talk!"

Xiaobai smiled and said to Ji Pingan: "Look, he is much more popular than the two of us."

Also, who doesn't like cute spirit beasts?However, Ji Pingan, who has the blood of the monster race, is feared by everyone. It is a great irony to say it.

Ji Pingan smiled and said to He Lang: "Langzi, I'm going to buy some pheasants in the back, and Xiao Huang will be taken care of by you. I'll be back soon."

He Lang said cheerfully, "No problem! Xiao Huang will follow me, don't worry! Cui Cui, quickly bring candy, Xiao Huang loves candy."

Seeing that Xiao Huang got along well with everyone, Ji Pingan felt relieved.He and Xiaobai walked along the mountain road to the direction where the roosters crowed most, and after walking a few houses to the north, a path up the mountain appeared in front of them.

There is a house on the hillside, and the walls outside the house are covered with dried salted chickens. It seems that this is the family that raises chickens.

Xiaobai asked softly, "How many chickens is Ping An going to buy?" There is still a big rooster at home, and Ji Pingan never thought that he would buy chickens back home.

Ji Pingan didn't answer this question, instead he hesitated: "Xiaobai."

Xiaobai stopped in his tracks: "Huh?"

Ji Pingan looked up at Xiaobai's blue eyes: "Xiaobai is not a spirit beast, is he? You and Xiaohuang are demon cultivators, right?"

Xiaobai panicked suddenly, it's too bad, did he expose something?Is Ping An suspicious?

But he really didn't want to deceive Ji Pingan, this was the person he wanted to join hands with.If he can't even do basic honesty, what face does he have to say that he likes peace?

Xiaobai pursed his lips a little nervously: "Hmm..."

Ji Pingan nodded: "Sure enough, so Xiaobai is not a little white cat who has not grown up, right? The appearance in front of you is your adult appearance, right?"

Xiaobai nodded hesitantly: "Yes."

Ji Pingan looked at Xiaobai seriously: "Can the demon cultivator live for a long time?"

Xiaobai once again gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."

Ji Pingan paused for a moment, and he took a deep breath: "Do you still count the questions you asked me last time?"

Xiao Bai asked in surprise, "What's the problem?"

Ji Pingan said word by word: "You said, if I want, you can help me find exercises for me to practice. Do you still count?"

Xiao Bai became serious: "Do the math."

It's just that he was even more confused. He didn't know what happened. Before he repeatedly persuaded Ji Pingan to practice, Ji Pingan never answered him directly.How come Ping An's sex changed after only a few hours of separation?

Ji Pingan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine. It's just that my aptitude is not very good. Even if I practice, I probably won't be able to reach Xiaobai's level."

Xiaobai said softly: "As long as you want, I can help you. It's just peace, why do you suddenly think about cultivation?"

Ji Pingan didn't dare to look into Xiaobai's eyes anymore, he turned his head and looked at the old tree beside the road and said in a low voice, "I, I want to live longer. I can spend more time with Xiaobai..."

Xiaobai felt like colorful fireworks exploded in his mind, making him light and light.Before his mind recovered, his body had already responded for him.

Xiaobai took the next step and held Ji Pingan into his arms.He wanted to hug Ji Pingan for a long, long time: "Want to spend more time with me?"

Ji Ping'an buried his face in Xiaobai's thick chest, and he could hear Xiaobai's rapid heartbeat through his clothes, and Xiaobai's breath surrounded him. At this moment, he felt extremely at ease: "Yes."
