Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 657 No Salt
In fact, the bonfire inside the cave can also be used for barbecue, but she and Kou Wanwan both found the smell too strong and unpleasant, so they set up a bonfire outside the cave specifically for barbecue.

During the barbecue, Dong Shuzhen kept going in and out of the cave, talking and chatting with Zhu Xiuyuan.

He supervised Kou Wanwan by the way, and then rushed out of the cave as fast as he could to avoid burning the rabbit meat and making the same mistake again.

Dong Shuzhen is full of energy. She keeps going in and out of the cave and running around like this. She is not afraid of getting tired at all. Instead, she is very excited and enjoys it.

"It's baked, it's baked..."

After a while, Dong Shuzhen ran into the cave again, holding two roast rabbits in each hand. They were golden and shiny and looked very delicious.

Zhu Xiuyuan's spirit was shaken. He propped up his upper body with both hands and sat up from the stone bed. He looked at the golden hare and drooled.

He was really starving, and he hadn't eaten seriously for several days.

"My husband is here..." Dong Shuzhen didn't disappoint him, she rushed over quickly, holding the roasted rabbit in both hands, she turned to Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "My husband, help take the leaves."

At this time, Zhu Xiuyuan also saw clearly. It turned out that there were several leaves under Dong Shuzhen's armpits. He didn't know what kind of leaves they were. They were big and green.

Zhu Xiuyuan understood and hurriedly took off the leaves. When he took them in his hands, he found that these leaves had been cleaned and could be used to "hold" the roasted rabbit.

After Zhu Xiuyuan finished playing with it quickly, Dong Shuzhen placed the two specially selected roast rabbits on the leaves in front of Zhu Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Husband, these are the two fattest rabbits!"

"My lady is so amazing!" Zhu Xiuyuan was not polite, grabbed one with both hands, impatiently.

Just now, when he smelled the fragrance, he already moved his index finger. Now he can't wait to swallow the two hares in one gulp.

"Husband, please eat slowly while I go get a bowl of water!"

Dong Shuzhen was filled with joy, and with a smile on her face, she threw the roast rabbit that belonged to Kou Wanwan to her, then put her own one down, and went to pour water for Zhu Xiuyuan with cheerful steps.

Zhu Xiuyuan choked, opened his bloody mouth, and bit into the fattest part.

At the same time, looking up at Dong Shuzhen's cheerful back, he was very moved, what more could a husband ask for if he had such a wife.

"Um?!"

However, Zhu Xiuyuan was very moved. He took a big bite of the rabbit meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately noticed something was wrong and his eyebrows gradually tightened.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Dong Shuzhen returned with a bowl of water, and she saw Zhu Xiuyuan's frown tightened at a glance.

Moreover, Zhu Xiuyuan's chewing frequency became slower and slower, and it looked like he was about to vomit.

Before Zhu Xiuyuan spoke, he chewed slowly, and Dong Shuzhen understood it first.

"Husband, there is no salt here, there is no seasoning, I... I am... I am... sorry..."

As if she had been wronged a lot, Dong Shuzhen held the bowl of water in her hands and her head gradually lowered.

Zhu Xiuyuan endured the white taste, chewed for a long time, frowned and swallowed it in one mouthful, and then said with a smile: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? There is no salt and other seasonings. It's not your fault, so how can I be sorry!"

Zhu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, took another bite of rabbit meat, and said with a smile: "As long as the food is cooked by the lady herself, my husband likes to eat it!"

"Really...really?" Dong Shuzhen raised her eyes, the depression on her face swept away, and a smile was waiting to "break out of the ground", and Zhu Xiuyuan was just short of being sure.

"Of course it's true!" Zhu Xiuyuan chewed hard, "Although there is no salt, the taste is a bit poor, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. It's really rare for a lady to be able to roast this rabbit golden brown!"

"Husband, drink some water, don't choke!" The smile on Dong Shuzhen's face was completely blooming, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

Zhu Xiuyuan swallowed, took another sip of water, and took the time to ask: "By the way, madam, why is there no salt here? Why are we in a cave? What is this place?"

When Dong Shuzhen heard it, she immediately entered the state of "telling stories".

She picked up her roasted rabbit and ate it carefully while explaining it. From beginning to end, she didn't miss a thing. She explained it very carefully.On the other side, the strip of cloth on Kou Wanwan's head was also removed. Kou Wanwan ate the roasted rabbit while listening, and at the same time, he made supplements there.

Through their narration, Zhu Xiuyuan finally understood.It turned out that so many things had happened in just a few days since he was knocked unconscious by an arrow.

"So, we are on a desert island overseas?"

Zhu Xiuyuan held a "rabbit frame" and gnawed on the last bit of meat on it, asking as he gnawed.

Although the roasted rabbit meat was hard to swallow without salt and other seasonings, Zhu Xiuyuan was hungry, and since it was Dong Shuzhen's hard work, he didn't want to let it down.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few bites, he got used to the white taste and could barely eat it.

Dong Shuzhen, who was telling the story, smiled happily at this scene.

"It's not certain yet, but the slave family and his wife have gone dozens of miles away to explore. However, what they saw was a desolate place with no trace of human activity at all."

"In addition, according to my family and my wife's investigation, this place has a radius of tens of miles and is surrounded by the sea on three sides... So both my family and my wife think that this place should be an overseas desert island."

Kou Wanwan interrupted at the right time.

"Yes, husband, now that's it, we have really arrived at the 'Penglai Fairy Island'!" Dong Shuzhen glared at Kou Wanwan, and then laughed at herself.

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally still remembers the phrase "Penglai Immortal Island".

I remember it was a month ago, just after the Shangyuan Festival, when the Liang State envoy was assassinated in the street. As the receptionist for the Liang State envoy, Zhu Xiuyuan faced pressure from all aspects.

During difficult times, Dong Shuzhen once suggested that their family simply escape from the capital and find a place of idyllic beauty to live in seclusion.

He also said, "I think the Penglai Immortal Island is pretty good"...

After many days, recalling that time again, suddenly made Zhu Xiuyuan lose his mind for a moment.

Not only did he think of the phrase "Penglai Immortal Island", he also thought of the unfinished business in the capital.

How is the capital?
How is the Shenleihou Mansion?
What happened to Dong Shuyu and his father-in-law?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If this place is really an overseas desert island, then the day of returning to the capital is far away.

Even being trapped on this island for the rest of his life is not impossible.

Zhu Xiuyuan thought as he ate the rabbit rack. When there was no more meat on it, he put it down and picked up another roast rabbit.

However, this time he took a bite and chewed for a long time, but he couldn't swallow it.

Maybe it's because it's a little cold.

In addition, Zhu Xiuyuan thought that he might be trapped on this desert island for the rest of his life and felt depressed, so he had no intention of eating meat.

Of course, the most direct reason is the lack of salt taste.

Salt should not be too much or not at all. If food is salt-free, it will be really difficult to swallow.

Moreover, Zhu Xiuyuan was no longer so hungry... For various reasons, after Zhu Xiuyuan struggled to swallow the bite, he gradually put the roast rabbit back in his hand.

However, before Zhu Xiuyuan's hand left the roasted rabbit, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Dong Shuzhen beside him who was keenly aware of his movement.

The smile on her face suddenly stiffened, she was very disappointed, and her head gradually lowered.
