Rebellious Contract Beast

It is much more interesting to catch something flying in the sky than to catch something swimming in the water.

But after looking for a long time, Shen Yi was still disappointed. There were no wild geese in the sky. There were quite a few sparrows, but the meat of the sparrows was too little and he didn't like it.

At this time, Zhu Yanhan's voice came from a distance, and he shouted: "Come on, I'll take you to the river to catch crabs!"

"Great!"

"Brother Yanhan, I want to come too!"

Zhu Yanfeng and several other children cheered, then followed Zhu Yanhan into the river, reaching their hands into the river and touching around.

Among them was the lively Zhu Yingying, who also lifted her skirt and walked into the river carefully, but did not dare to go too deep into the water.

Shen Yi became interested when he heard it.

Are there crabs in the river?
I’m really good at catching crabs myself!
Shen Yi turned his head and saw that Zhu Yanhan had already started to work, but it was obvious that his technique was half-baked. He only knew how to turn over the stones in the river and wait for the mud and dust in the water to settle before he started. It took him a long time to catch a crab that was not much bigger than an egg.

The children were watching nearby and had no idea how to catch the crab. When they saw Zhu Yanhan holding the crab's claws with both hands and picking it up, they shouted, "Brother Yanhan, you are so good!"

"Cut~"

Shen Yi snorted disdainfully in his heart, turned around and rushed into the river like a bull.

"Hmm? What is Xuan Li doing?"

The sound of splashing water immediately attracted Zhu Yanhan's attention. He quickly looked over and heard a "Sila" sound from Shen Yi's body. His body suddenly grew several times larger. He raised his claws and lifted up a stone, then began to dig on the shore.

Out of curiosity, he brought the child beside him over.

Then the next second, Shen Yi pulled out a mountain crab the size of a palm and threw it to the shore without saying a word.

Before anyone could react, Shen Yi caught several crabs of medium size.

"Wow! Xuan Li is so awesome!"

"There's another crab here! Xuanli, hurry up and catch it! Don't let it run away!"

"Xuan Li is really good at catching crabs, here's another big one!"

It was as if Xuan Li had a vision, and he could catch crabs accurately. Zhu Yanhan was stunned for a long time before he could utter, "Xuan Li, how can you catch crabs so well?"

Shen Yi glanced at him and didn't reply. What a joke! When he was a kid and went catching crabs with a bunch of friends, he didn't even know where Zhu Yanhan was.

However, the resources here are really abundant. You can catch a palm-sized mountain crab at any time. In my previous life, I spent half of my childhood catching crabs in the ravine, but I have only seen one palm-sized crab, and it was caught by my father.

When I grew up, I hardly saw any big crabs in that ravine. Most of the ones I could catch were about the size of the bottom of a mineral water bottle.

Watching Shen Yi fiddle with it and pull out another big crab, Zhu Yanhan was not to be outdone and began to grope along the river bank. After searching for a long time, he finally saw a bigger crab, but when he stretched out his hand, he caught nothing.

When they had caught most of the crabs, several children packed up the crabs of all sizes in boxes and returned to the shore happily, telling each other what had just happened. Only Zhu Yanhan looked depressed.

"Sister Chuyun!"

"what happened?"

"Look what this is!"

“So many crabs!”

"Yes, Xuanli caught it. I never knew it was so good at catching crabs. Did you teach it?"

"Uh...how can I catch crabs?" Looking at Zhu Yingying, He Jianchuyun smiled bitterly, but she was not surprised. She had known for a long time that Shen Yi could catch crabs.

In the few days after they came out of Beiting City, she and Shen Yi ate crabs almost every meal. At that time, he even gave himself a nickname, "Crab Hole Destroyer".

Turning his head to look at Shen Yi, he did not leave the river. Instead, he ran to the deep end of the river and swam around there. His body was completely submerged in the water, with only his head exposed above the water.

She smiled and looked away. At this time, He Jianyanqiu asked, "Yun'er, are you hungry?"

"well enough."

"It's time, why don't you guys come over here quickly, it's time to cook."

"Yes ma'am, I'll be right there."

This time when they came out for an outing, the servants brought not only tools for cooking but also a lot of fresh ingredients.

Seeing that the servants who were accompanying him had already started to collect firewood and set up the grill, Zhu Yanhan didn't know what he was thinking about, and said to the two girls: "I have some talent in cooking. Do you want to try it?"

When Zhu Yingying heard this, her expression froze for a moment and she didn't say anything, while He Jian Chuyun smiled and nodded: "I want to!"

"Brother Yanhan, go ahead and do it. We are waiting for you here..."

"Okay! I'll let you guys try it when it's ready!" With that, Zhu Yanhan stood up and walked towards the grill.

As soon as he left, Zhu Yingying hurriedly shook He Jian Chuyun's arm and said, "Sister Chuyun, you must not eat what Brother Yanhan made!"

"what happened?"

"What he made... was really awful!"

"Is... is that so?" He Jianchuyun was stunned for a moment. When Zhu Yingying spoke, both of her eyebrows were twisted. It didn't look like she was lying, as if it was true.

"Yes, sister, you haven't tasted it yet. It's terrible and you can't swallow it at all. Listen to me now, don't eat it, just find a place to throw it away..."

Looking over at the grill, Zhu Yanhan had already taken a few pieces of fresh meat from the servants, put them on the grill and started grilling them while humming a little tune. Although the servants standing next to him did not speak, their expressions were extremely strange and unnatural.

"Sister Chuyun, no one dares to say that Brother Yanhan's cooking is not delicious. No matter how unpalatable it is, we have to eat it, and no one dares to say it. Woo woo woo, I am most afraid of the food he cooks."

He Jianchuyun felt a little uneasy, but he still whispered to Zhu Yingying to comfort her: "Okay, let's try it first. If it doesn't taste good, we can throw it away. What if his cooking skills have improved?"

"How can it be……"

After waiting for a while, the meat was roasted. Zhu Yanhan chopped it into pieces with a kitchen knife and placed them on the plate one by one. He sprinkled some chopped vegetables as garnish and then asked the servant to bring it over.

The first person to receive the barbecue was Zhu Yandong. He was originally talking about something with He Jian Yanqiu, but after taking the plate of barbecue, he fell silent on the spot.

Then it was He Jian Yan Qiu. She saw her eyes twitching for a while, but after taking the barbecue, she still smiled and said, "Han'er is thoughtful..."

Tsurumi Hatsuun took his plate of barbecue and said thank you.

Zhu Yingying was holding the plate with a sad face.

No reason, because at this time Zhu Yanhan clapped his hands, walked over with a smile, and said to the two girls: "Try it and see how it tastes."

Seeing that she couldn't hide anymore, Zhu Yingying picked up a piece of barbecue with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. No one knew what it tasted like, but she almost burst into tears after taking a bite. Finally, she praised in a stiff tone: "It's... really delicious!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Yanhan laughed twice and looked at He Jian Chuyun: "Chuyun, you are eating too, what's wrong?"

Zhu Yingying was already in that state, how could He Jian Chuyun dare to say anything?

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and immediately had an idea, and then said: "It smells so good~ I think Xuan Li should like it very much. I will give it to him to try first."

"How can this be possible? If we give food that humans eat to contracted beasts, wouldn't that be a waste?"

"No, Xuan Li loves to eat meat. If he sees me eating alone, he will probably get angry again."

"Okay, okay, but you're so nice to him."

"Then I'll go find Xuanli first." Seeing Zhu Yanhan agreed, He Jianchuyun hurriedly slipped away and came to the river bank with the plate.

“Xuan Li Xuan Li!”

"What's wrong?"

"Here is the barbecue you like, come and try it."

Hearing the old witch's voice, Shen Yi immediately swam back to the shore, put his head close to smell it. The smell was hard to describe, a bit complicated, but it looked good. Seeing the old witch picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and fed it to him, he didn't think much about it and opened his mouth to take it.

But when he bit it with his teeth and the strange taste exploded on his taste buds, Shen Yi was stunned. After about two or three seconds, he looked at He Jian Chuyun deeply.

I don’t know what that look means.

And Tsurumi Hatsuun asked curiously: "How does it taste?"

"It's really cool! Would you like to try it too?"

He Jian Chuyun saw the changes in Shen Yi's expression throughout the whole process. She was even more afraid to eat it now. She waved her hand and said with a smile: "Eat it if you want. Don't be polite. This is all left for you."

"Good things should be shared. Come on, have a taste."

"There's some more over there. I won't eat it. I'll put it here for you."

"Eat it! Why don't you eat it!"

"Eat it yourself! I'm leaving now."

He Jianchuyun didn't dare to stay any longer. He put down the plate and ran away.

Shen Yi subconsciously stretched out his claws to grab her, but missed. Seeing that the old witch returned to her aunt, he had no choice but to give up and looked down at the barbecue on the plate.

How can I describe the taste? It's hard to describe, it's very complicated, as if the chef has used all possible condiments without any difference. The taste has no layers, it's mixed and chaotic, and the chef added too much salt!

If it were just that it would be fine, but which idiot came up with the idea of ​​brushing vinegar on barbecue?
And I brushed it more than once!
The guy who can roast the vinegar flavor completely into the meat is simply a talent!

In short, the moment the barbecue entered your mouth, the acetic acid smell spread, it was so choking.

Shen Yi said there was no way he could eat this plate of barbecue, but it would be a pity to throw it away. He looked around and locked his sight on a black dog not far away. He made two chirps from his mouth to attract the dog over.

"Wang Wang!"

"Here! Eat it, this is good stuff."

Seeing the black dog coming, Shen Yi pushed the plate over to him. The dog lowered its head to sniff the food, but turned away without taking a bite.

"Fuck! Even dogs wouldn't eat it!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Yi was so angry that he threw the plate and the meat to the other side of the river. He Jian Chuyun couldn't help laughing when she saw it, but then she saw the other party's vicious eyes and she turned her head away quickly and dared not look.

"You old witch, you're using me to test poison, right? You wait, you'll suffer when you get back!"

Shen Yi thought fiercely in his heart, and then slipped into the river again.

By the way, it seems that I haven't let the old witch wear white silk for a while. It's just right to let her wear it when I go back tonight, hehe~
After staying in Peach Blossom Valley for a long time, everyone was satisfied with their meals and playful fun. He Jian Yanqiu immediately told his servants to pack up, and then led everyone out of Peach Blossom Valley, walking up the mountain along the winding stone steps. As they walked, they admired the surrounding scenery, which was very pleasant.

The sun was setting at this time. It took everyone an hour to finally arrive at the pavilion built on the mountainside. In the distance, mountain flowers were in full bloom, competing to open, and the colorful flowers covered the hillside like a carpet. The sea of ​​clouds in the sky was rolling, but one could still see the golden fields below and the Jiangzhou city hidden in the hustle and bustle of the world in the distance.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of golden gauze on the opposite hillside, and the breeze blows across the face with the breath of spring, making people feel peaceful and beautiful in their hearts.

"Go sit inside. You're tired after walking for so long."

"It's so beautiful."

"Yes, the scenery here is never boring. It would be a pity if we missed it this year."

This pavilion is the best viewing platform. It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to continue going up, but the terrain becomes steeper as they go up, so for safety reasons, they stop here.

However, Shen Yi was not very satisfied, so he flapped his wings and flew higher.

"Where is Xuanli going?"

Zhu Yanhan asked in confusion. He Jianchuyun, who was staring at Jiangzhou City in a daze, replied, "Don't mind him. He likes it this way."

"I see."

Although he said that, after watching for a while, He Jian Chuyun felt that he had seen enough, so he stood up and practiced the Chanque Qingyun Jue, and flew lightly towards where Shen Yi was.

But Shen Yi was flying after all. Although He Jian Chuyun had practiced the Qingyun Jue (Sweeping Sparrow Technique) which made it much easier for him to climb the mountain, it still took him a lot of effort to get up.

When they found Shen Yi, they saw him curled up on a stone platform, holding a piece of gold in his claws and comparing it with the sunset.

"what are you doing here?"

"What else can I do? Just enjoy the scenery." Seeing He Jianchuyun, Shen Yi replied unhappily.

"Are you still angry?"

"How dare I be angry with you, Miss."

"You didn't eat it either, and how could I know that the food made by cousin Yanhan was so bad? I just knew that you liked to eat meat, so I brought it to you."

"Yes, yes, you don't know that you are using me to test poison!"

"It's not that serious... Okay, okay, I won't do it again. Master, please forgive me."

"Impossible, unless you let me take advantage of you!"

"You..." He Jianchuyun rolled his eyes with a look of disgust, and then quickly changed the subject: "What do you think of this place?"

"The scenery is very nice, and the trip is worthwhile."

"Haha, you don't want to come."

"That's two different things... Wait, you're trying to change the subject, right?"

"Ah! Don't... don't tickle me! I was wrong..."

"You dare to use your master to test poison. I think you, an old witch, have been getting carried away lately."

"What do you want? Can you let me go first?"

"Will you dare to do it again in the future?"

"I don't dare anymore! I was wrong. It's so itchy, hahaha..."

"What will you do if I want to eat a beautiful girl in the future?"

"I'll give it to you to eat. You can do whatever you want. Please let me go. I can't stand it. Hehe..."

"Whatever is fine, right? Well, I'll just keep tickling you, hehehe~"

“Hahaha, woooo…”
