Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 149 Lin Ye
Chen Zichu had never seen this cooking method before.

As the saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but at this moment, the young man could not take his eyes off the bulging soup dumpling that was scorched black on the flame, and could hardly restrain his curiosity.

He always felt that the beast's stomach would be burned the next moment, just like Xu Yishan's water-breaking sword descending, the stream inside would rush out, spilling all over the place.

However, this scene of embarrassment did not appear. As the flame burned, there was a gurgling sound from the water bag on the flame, which surprised Chen Zichu.

"What is this..."

"The firewood is about to run out," the girl by the fire looked up at him at this moment, "I can't leave, can I trouble you to pick up some firewood?"

"why me……"

Chen Zichu found out that this woman really had nothing to do with the shyness and cowardice that a lady with golden branches and jade leaves would have...

"Because I found out during today's running..." Ying Baoyue looked around the collapsed surroundings, and said helplessly, "Mr. Chen...you have the best sense of direction."

Let other people go, she is really worried about whether she can get it back...

Chen Zichu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the "master" who was sitting at his house by the stream not far away, who would hit trees while running.

Leaving aside the people she brought with her, in such a short period of time... Has this woman already observed the two strangers in detail?
"Okay," Chen Zichu swallowed slightly as he looked at the bag hanging on the fire. Since he was the only one who could be trusted, it's not that he, Mr. Chen, couldn't help.

I am definitely not interested in the broth cooked by this woman!

Hence the present scene.

"It's ready." Chen Zichu only heard a chuckle from the woman behind him, "Guichen Guili, are the bowls and chopsticks ready?"

"Okay!" The boy and girl shouted happily, and now Chen Zichu knew that they were a pair of brother and sister. Hearing the woman's order, Gui's brother and sister immediately conjured seven bamboo bowls made of bamboo tubes.

"This was done by Colonel Lou with his sword." Miss Yao leaned over and gestured to the military officer who was leaning on the sword.

Ying Baoyue thanked him with a smile, carefully removed the bag on the fire, pierced a small opening with an arrowhead, and distributed the boiling broth into bamboo bowls.

The fragrance of the meat was strong, and the woman also picked up a few herbs that looked like medicinal herbs from under the tree and sprinkled them into the bowl.

"What kind of medicinal material is this?" Chen Zichu asked curiously.

"Medicine?" Ying Baoyue smiled, "This is wild fennel, it should be called Huaixiang in the south."

Huaixiang?
"It can be said to be medicinal materials. It can warm the kidneys and dispel cold, harmonize the stomach and regulate qi. It can indeed cure diseases." The girl beside the flame smiled and said, "But the spices for cooking meat are the most suitable."

It is the most suitable.

Smelling the enticing fragrance in the air and staring at the bamboo bowl by the fire, Chen Zichu made a groan in his throat, feeling hungry for the first time.

Of course, he is so eager at this time, it must be because he is too hungry after running all day today, and it has nothing to do with anything else.

"Okay, let's eat while it's hot." Ying Baoyue picked up a bowl and handed it to Chen Zichu, and at the same time picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks and put them on the bowl.

"Thank you..." Chen Zichu was startled and was about to speak, but the girl whose face was more beautiful under the flames smiled, "We are the ones who want to say thank you."

Ying Baoyue stood up and saluted him and Xu Yishan by the stream, "Thank you for your help today."

"No need..." Chen Zichu blinked and looked at the girl by the fire.

What's going on... This woman's character...

It seems to be different from what he imagined...

Today in the forest, this woman has overturned his impression of the princess once.

It turned out that when the woman didn't hold the sword, she knocked it over again.

Chen Zichu picked up the broth in his hand and took a deep breath.

The fragrance is rich and refreshing.

she……

At this moment, Chen Zichu, who was intoxicated by it, watched Ying Baoyue pick up a bowl of soup and walk towards Xu Yishan who was sitting alone by the stream, his expression suddenly changed.

"Mmm... Mr. Xu, don't you like soup?" Ying Baoyue looked at the young man who silently stared at the bamboo bowl she handed to her without moving, feeling a little helpless for a moment.

The next moment, Xu Yishan not only didn't take the soup from her hand, but turned his body away and moved away.

this person...

"I don't need it." Ying Baoyue stretched out his hand, but only heard the young man say lightly, "Li..."

"Wait..." Chen Zichu caught up from behind, "Ying...His Royal Highness, let me come."

Chen Zichu took the soup bowl from Ying Baoyue, looked at Xu Yishan who was moving further and further away, looked at Ying Baoyue and said helplessly, "Your Highness, he is not targeting you."

Looking at the young man whose body was almost covered with the word "resistance", Ying Baoyue turned to look at Chen Zichu.

Under the girl's clear and calm gaze, Chen Zichu sighed inwardly, shrugged his shoulders and decided to tell the truth.

"This guy, I hate... not... I'm afraid of women."

I hate women...

This is indeed not aimed at me, but directly aimed at half of the world's people...

Ying Baoyue looked at the taciturn young man holding the sword with an indifferent expression on his face. As expected of a water mage, this shot was a map cannon...

Ying Baoyue glanced at the dark blue long sword in the young man's arms, his eyes darkened slightly.

While running around in the woods today, Mr. Chen looked at the shocked Guichen and the others, proudly popularizing his friend's sword skills, and Ying Baoyue also learned about the four schools of practice and the four mountain gate swords. thing.

By the way, I also heard the name of my original sword from the gossip.

Of course, if what the boy said was true.

But anyway, she doesn't remember anything, and she can't tell the truth from the fake.

No matter what he hears now, Ying Baoyue doesn't feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

For short, don't remember anything.

Even though she may have been a practitioner of fire art, but for her who doesn't remember any sword skills, all schools are equally strange.

For her now, even talking about swordsmanship was a bit early.

"His Royal Highness?" Chen Zichu's voice interrupted Ying Baoyue's thoughts, and Ying Baoyue handed the bamboo bowl in his hand to Chen Zichu, "Then Mr. Xu will trouble you here."

Then Ying Baoyue didn't say any more, and returned to the fire.

Looking at the girl's crisp back, this time it was Chen Zichu who was startled.

The chat with this woman in the forest during the day revived in his heart.

"What? You don't know the four schools of wind, fire, water and thunder? Aren't you a practitioner?"

"I just became one, I don't know yet."

"Just became..."

Maybe just woke up?The woman's just who knows how long.Chen Zichu didn't think much, but was surprised.

He just didn't expect that this woman who did such an astonishing thing didn't even know the most basic schools in the practice world.

But...Looking at the girl's slender back, Chen Zichu narrowed his eyes.

This is indeed not something a woman should know.

……

……

However, Chen Zichu, who was full and fell asleep by the fire, didn't know that in the dead of night, a woman opened her eyes by the fire and quietly left the fire.

Dark night.

The smell of broth and barbecue was still wafting in the forest. On a thick locust tree, a young man hugged the trunk and rubbed his stomach. He looked pitifully at his elder brother who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed and practicing.

"Second brother, I'm hungry."

The man under the bronze mask opened his dark eyes and glanced at him.

"Solve it yourself."

But he can't hunt, let alone handle prey. Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji sadly, but his elder brother knew all these things.

I don't know who this person learned from.

Although going on the road with his elder brother would usually not be hungry, but Zhao Guang also knew that every day at Haishi was the unshakable time for his elder brother to practice. Even if Li Ji died of starvation and exhaustion, he would get up and practice, and would never do anything else.

Zhao Guang had no choice but to tighten his belt, preparing to overcome it with willpower. At the same time, he looked under the tree to see if there were any wild fruits.

However, the next moment, the boy in the barrier suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Under the moonlight, in an open space in the forest not far away, a young girl was dragging an epee to the center.

Her steps were soft and unsteady, and the way she held the sword was unfamiliar.

However, the next moment, the girl struggled to raise the epee and slashed fiercely into the air.

There are no moves, no footwork, just like a child wielding a wooden sword, but what she holds is not a wooden sword after all.

The next moment, the exhausted girl was brought down by the weight of the sword and fell heavily to the ground.

She got up, swung her sword, and fell again.

Then she got up again, swung the sword, and fell again.

Under the pale moonlight, the girl just repeated this movement.

Simple, monotonous, even clumsy.

It has nothing to do with peaking.

And yet she does it again and again.

again and again.

Meticulous.

Repeatedly.

Falling to the ground and getting up again, Zhao Guang stared blankly at this scene, obviously he had no sword skills at all, but for some reason he couldn't look away.

She keeps falling, but always gets up again.

Even though it was a cold summer night, large beads of sweat rolled down the girl's forehead.

Ying Baoyue dragged a long sword that seemed to weigh a thousand catties in his hand, and swung it down seriously.

She couldn't remember how many times she fell down, but just as she was dazed by fatigue, a squirrel suddenly jumped out from her feet and slammed into the blade!

Ying Baoyue's pupils shrank and immediately turned into a sword, but the change in the center of gravity made her foot slip, and the heavy sword fell out of her hand and fell to a point of the sword.

Ying Baoyue turned her body to avoid her vitals, but the accident was too sudden, and she probably couldn't avoid it if she scratched her skin a bit.

However, at the next moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the forest.

Pass by her side.
