Jianghuke

The carriage stopped at the gate of a suburban courtyard.

After that "Ah Chi", Chi Heting fell into a strange silence.He didn't say a word until the person who sent away Feihua Pavilion packed up his things and settled down in this other courtyard.

Gu Miao stood at the door, watching him busy shaking off the quilt and laying it down, hesitant to speak.After a long time, he said: "Forget it if you don't like it." After saying this, I suddenly felt bored, probably mixed with a little disappointment, and turned around to leave.

"No dislike." Chi Heting finally opened his mouth and said sullenly, "It's just that some people called me that way before."

"and after?"

"He died later." Chi Heting finished packing, stepped out of the threshold one step ahead of him, and said lightly, "So I hope you can live longer."

"..." Gu Miao recalled, and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you cursing me?"

"How can it be?" Chi Heting turned around again, put on his usual casual smile, and beckoned, "What are you doing in a daze? Going out to eat, or are you not hungry?"

Gu Miao subconsciously took two steps towards him, then stopped suddenly, showing hesitation, shook her head and said, "I'm not going out."

"how?"

"I... have no appetite, you can just bring something back to eat."

Chi Heting looked at him for a while, saw some clues, and asked, "Aren't you afraid to go out?"

Gu Miao categorically denied it: "No."

His eyelashes fluttered violently, and he blinked his eyes from time to time, as if he was trying to distinguish what was in front of him. He rubbed his cuffs nervously with his fingertips, but he pretended nothing happened.

Chi Heting didn't know how blurry the words in his mouth were, and he felt uneasy even going out for a meal, so he didn't expose him, and said very understandingly: "Then what do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you .”

"spicy."

"Ah?" Chi Heting thought he heard it wrong, so he scratched his ears and asked again, "Do you eat spicy food???"

No wonder he was surprised.When Gu Miao was in Baicaotang, he ate so lightly, not to mention spicy, there was not even any oil, and his three meals a day were stews for health.

"Want to eat."

"It hurts, avoid spicy..."

"Just one meal."

"All right, then I'll ask the cook to sprinkle a few peppers."

"Not enough." Gu Miao interrupted, "You have to put a lot, the kind that fills the whole plate."

"..."

Chi Heting went out with a complicated expression.

It turned out that Gu Miao had such a strong taste.

He went to a nearby inn and ordered chopped pepper fish head, mapo tofu and mao xuewang, and specifically asked the cook to add more spicy peppers, to death.In the end, when the cook came out with the lunch box, he was still a little apprehensive, and said, "Guest officer, this... really can't be any more spicy."

Chi Heting opened the lid and looked at it. The spicy smell made his tears run down his nose. He quickly covered it and said with satisfaction: "That's right, it should be this spicy. There is also the bowl of noodles in clear soup. Let's pack it separately and put it together. I'm afraid it's too spicy."

"Okay, okay, sir, take it, let's go slowly."

He returned to the other courtyard with spicy dishes, dragged Gu Miao to the front hall, laid out all the dishes, and said, "How is it?"

Gu Miao scooped up a spoonful of tofu, tasted the fish head again, and said without changing expression in front of the table full of hot peppers, "It's okay."

"The cook has already said, it can't be any more spicy." Chi Heting picked up the bowl and sipped the noodles, and felt that the noodles were also spicy, so he couldn't help wrinkling his face and said, "You actually like this kind of food?"

"I don't eat this often." Gu Miao lowered her head and took two mouthfuls of rice, then looked at him again, "I want to eat soup tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I'm busy, I have to go to the city to buy some medicine equipment, and your six-flavored poisonous weed is hard to find. These days, I can only eat food from outside." After Chi Heting said, he thought of something again, Quickly added, "You can't order spicy food, it's important to heal your wounds."

It's okay if you don't say anything, but when you say it, Gu Miao stuffed a few more chopsticks of fish into his mouth.

"..." Chi Heting didn't bother to care about him, and turned to ask, "After the injury is healed, what are your plans?"

"What about you?"

"Me? I was supposed to leave Ling Zhuzhou after the Baicao Hall was burned down, but now I am in Wuning by accident. I'm not hiding anywhere. I just stay here and don't leave."

Gu Miao: "Oh, it's good."

Chi Heting felt a little bit of something wrong: "Don't you think..."

Gu Miao looked up: "No?"

"It's not impossible." Chi Heting thought for a while, anyway, the Qiankun Cave will be revealed soon, Xuanzong has no time to talk to himself, and no one can care about the treasure map. It's very safe, just open your mouth to eat, "But you How long are you going to stay?"

"Whenever you want to leave, just leave."

Gu Miao just stayed in the other courtyard.

The business of selling counterfeit drugs has already been done, and it will be eye-catching again.After thinking about it, Chi Heting changed it into an extremely lethal crossbow that was banned from circulation by the government, and then sold it through some shady channels, and it would still make a lot of money.

The crossbow he made is light and compact, and some parts can be disassembled and folded out of shape.When Gu Miao saw him make it for the first time, she was quite surprised, and said, "Where did you learn how to make this crossbow?"

"Dream." Chi Heting put the trigger on the small crossbow in his hand, tried it tightly, and said lazily, "I know a lot of crafts, I won't die of hunger."

The Qiankun Cave is not a fictional legend, and the family of institutions that created it is naturally real. Chi Heting visited it several times in his previous life and stayed in the Pei Family Library for a few days.

The library building was not in the burnt home villa, but was built in the middle of the mountain. Fortunately, otherwise, the collection of ancient books of the mechanism theory would have been burned away.In order to crack the mechanism of Qiankun Cave, he studied many books inside, and this improved crossbow was among them.

Gu Miao flipped the spring core and said, "How much can this one sell for?"

"There is no price in the market." Chi Heting changed a part and polished it, lacking in interest, "I just don't dare to sell it too high, but it's not too low. It takes half a month to make a crossbow, which is the same as selling fake medicines before." Not too much difference."

Gu Miao touched the smooth crossbow body, looked at it for a moment, and questioned his soul: "So, where did your money go?"

Chi Heting: "..."

Chi Heting: "It's not missing a bite of your meal."

When it came to eating, Gu Miao immediately put aside the whereabouts of the money, and asked enthusiastically, "What are you cooking today?"

"Soup with lotus root and black chicken, with some ginseng added."

Gu Meiren frowned.

"Aunt Li, who sells lotus seeds this morning, sent a piece of lotus root, so I stewed it. Don't you like it?"

"It's not good to eat the powdered ones."

"Then we won't stew it next time."

Chi Heting figured out a bit of Gu Miao's taste preference, he probably likes food that tastes smooth or soft, especially soft tofu and duck blood, which are quite picky.

Well.

He also likes it spicy.

In this way, the spicy duck blood tofu dish should occupy an unshakable position in Gu Miao's heart.It's a pity that I can't, and I still drag him to eat light food every day.

"How about I take you to the city for dinner after the crossbow in your hand is sold?" Thinking about this, Chi Heting said generously, "Order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

However, the crossbow has not been sold, and the customer has not been invited, so the Qiankun Cave appeared in the world without warning.

It was as if there was a thunder on the flat ground, rolling from the sky, all kinds of things were blown out, and anyone in the teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys could speak clearly and logically, and it was very lively for a while.

Xuanzong generously announced the location of the Qiankun Cave, exaggerated the Qiankun Lock, and said it was a godsend opportunity available to everyone.The treasure map that was said to be able to find the location of Qiankun Cave was immediately forgotten by everyone.No matter who cares about your red butterfly and black butterfly, all families and factions have put aside the important matters at hand, scrambling to be the first, and flocked to Queyue Mountain.

The situation in the rivers and lakes changed overnight, and even the imperial court was alarmed.

When Chi Heting received the letter from Feihua Pavilion, he was eating with Gu Miao.

He glanced at it, and without even delaying the soup, he crumpled the letter up and threw it into the lotus pond outside the window.

Seeing that he was not very happy, Gu Miao said, "What's wrong?"

"Xuanzong said that the Qiankun Cave is in Queyue Mountain, Feihua Pavilion sent people to investigate, and it is really in Queyue Mountain." Chi Heting picked up the last piece of meat in the soup, "The whole rivers and lakes are crazy, and the court has also moved. Hey, this soup Still not salty enough and the meat was tasteless."

Gu Miao paused with her chopsticks, looked at him, and said, "Aren't you going?"

"Where?"

"Que Yue Mountain."

"Are you kidding me? What's there to do in that gloomy place? I want to live a few more years."

"How do you know it's a ghost place? What if it's the treasure land of fortune? Don't you want to try it?" Gu Miao was thoughtful, "Speaking of which, there are rumors in the world that the treasure map that can find the Qiankun cave is in my You never asked me about it."

"Treasure map? Where did you get the treasure map? I have taken off your clothes several times. I should have seen it long ago."

Gu Miao: "?"

Chi Heting: "Hey, I mean, help you change your clothes when you're unconscious. In short, Queyue Mountain has nothing to do with us. Hurry up and eat. I have to clear the table after eating. I have things to do in the afternoon."

"What are you up to? Refining poison?" Gu Miao noticed that he was always concentrating on refining poison in the pharmacy recently, and he was not allowed to follow him in. Every time he came out, he looked worried. With a strange expression, eager to try, he said expectantly, "Is there an enemy coming to the door?"

Chi Heting: "???"

This is free, right?
