After burying the merchant named Yao Guangcheng from Linzhou, Xi Lingyue led a group of people on the road. After seeing the corpse, everyone was no longer in a joking mood, and even their expressions became serious.

At noon, they stopped to rest by a pine forest. After dismounting, Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe stood together and seemed to be busy making a fire. These two people refused to give in and insisted on eating cooked food.

Yu Shiqi originally wanted to lean over to them to see if he could help. As soon as he started to move, he heard Xilingyue coughing "Ah hum" and hooking his index finger towards him.

"What's wrong? Do you need my help with anything?" Yu Shiqi walked to her side.

Xilingyue looked at him and sighed quietly, her eyes a little tired.

Yu Shiqi was even more confused and worried about her: "Master, are you still feeling unwell? Don't force yourself. If you really can't bear it, go back first."

Xilingyue was both angry and funny. She pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose: "What will you three do if you get lost when I go back? Then there will be more trouble."

"Then if you collapse from exhaustion..."

"I'm tired, you know?" She said complainingly, leaning on the tree trunk and slowly squatting down, gesturing for Yu Qi to squat down as well.

Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment, half-knelt beside her, and whispered: "I can probably understand, is it a feeling of sadness, sadness and helplessness? But why?"

"Why do you think it is?"

Yu Shiqi asked tentatively: "Is it because you just saw that the person can't be saved, so you feel sorry?"

"Very good, you can continue to think like this. Don't worry about me. You can go to the two heroes." Xilingyue waved her hand to drive him away, looking like she didn't want to talk to him.

Yu Shiqi's mind turned a little at this moment. Xilingyue's swinging hand almost slapped him on the head, but he still did not leave. He said sarcastically: "How can I leave the young shopkeeper alone here..."

Xi Lingyue was stunned for a moment, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and finally she suppressed her laughter.

She looked at Yu Shiqi and thought that sometimes this guy is so stupid that there is no cure for it, but sometimes it makes her inexplicably feel that his words and deeds have deeply touched my heart, and that there is such a magical person in the world.

"Do you want to eat?" Yu Shiqi took out the dry food he brought.

Xilingyue glanced at it and said flatly: "It's dry, what's delicious?"

Yu Shiqi smiled bitterly, thinking that if she disliked this dry food, should she make a fire and make cooked food like Wang Zhongsheng and the others did? That would be too particular.

Xilingyue stood up and clapped her hands, went to take out two bamboo tubes from the package carried on the horse, and threw one of them to Yu Shiqi: "Go on."

Yu Shiqi raised his hand and grabbed it, feeling that there seemed to be liquid sloshing in the bamboo tube. He curiously opened the lid and leaned forward to smell it, and a refreshing and sweet smell hit his nostrils.

"What is this?" he asked.

"You'll know after you try it." Xilingyue saw Yu Shiqi looking at the light yellow liquid in the bamboo tube and hesitating, and snorted unhappily: "Well, you are still afraid of me in your heart. You think I

It will hurt you, right?"

It wasn't that Yu Shiqi didn't trust Xi Lingyue, but that he wasn't used to drinking obscure things.

"I didn't..." He opened his mouth and was about to explain, but suddenly felt that the best explanation was action, so he raised his head and took a sip.

The light sweetness is just right, refreshing but not cloying.

"Water soaked in honey? It tastes really good."

"It's almost the same, with some other things added." She said proudly, "This is also a recipe I explored myself. If it is chilled with Kunlun ice and snow in the summer, it will be comparable to Ganquan Xianjiang. I would definitely set up a stall at the intersection of the main road.

It can be a big seller.”

Yu Shiqi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Why are you laughing? Don't you think something is wrong?"

"No, it's not." Yu Shiqi tried to hold back his smile but couldn't, "I was just thinking that you are obviously a saint from the Snow Sect, but you would have such thoughts that only a girl from a businessman's family would have.

"

Xilingyue pointed at his nose with a finger: "You're talking stupid again. You just asked the man named Wang why he practiced swordsmanship, and didn't you suddenly have an epiphany? You yourself are obviously the adopted son of the head of the Tongfeng Sect.

If you don’t want the young master to do the Sword in the Cloud, why don’t you come to the Western Wilderness to paint?”

Yu Qiyi slapped his head: "I'm obsessed with the authorities again. Then... Mr. Shopkeeper, are you interested in developing elixirs or making money in business? Or is medicine also for making money?"

"Me? I just like to collect all kinds of things. Accumulating wealth is of course a part of collecting." She smiled like an innocent little girl at this moment.

Yu Shiqi thought of the several large boxes of miscellaneous items in the attic, and suddenly realized.

"I have always believed that no matter what I want, there will be a way to get it." Xilingyue turned her back to him and said.

"As long as it's not Xingxingyue, as the young shopkeeper, and with the strength of the Snow Sect, it won't be too difficult to want anything."

Xilingyue shook her head and denied: "No, now I have something I want very much, but I don't know how to get it."

"What is that?" Yu Shiqi couldn't help but ask. She could even find the three weird and rare things used to refine elixirs. Is there anything else in Xihuang that she couldn't ask for?

Xilingyue looked back at him and smiled perfunctorily: "I told you, would you go through thick and thin to find it for me?"

Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment. He did not dare to agree to such a promise casually. Although his wariness towards Xi Lingyue gradually disappeared through the recent interactions, he did not forget who the other party was.

Seeing that he was silent, Xilingyue showed an indifferent expression and put her hands behind her back: "Then I won't say anything."

"Actually, I noticed it on the way here," Yu Shiqi's tone suddenly became serious and a little heavy, "It turns out that the place where I fainted from exhaustion that day was still so far away from the inn. I know him."

Xilingyue opened her mouth in surprise, turned back to face him, and found that his expression was serious.

"If you hadn't come to rescue us, we would have become dead souls buried under the snow like Yao Guangcheng." He lowered his head and continued without looking at Xi Lingyue: "Young shopkeeper, you are kind to me, and

This kindness cannot be offset by my promise to help you in the inn for a month."

"so what?"

"So if you wish, I can go through fire and water for you once, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to find what you want." He said seriously.

There was no sadness or joy on Xilingyue's face. After being silent for a long time, she said: "You will definitely be able to find what I want, but I don't want you to look for it. To me, the kindness between people is not for

Exchange consumer goods for compensation. I know you don't like to owe people, but I won't let you pay it off. If you feel bad about it, just remember it for the rest of your life."

Yu Shiqi raised his head in disbelief, his eyes met Xi Lingyue, and he didn't understand why she said that.

Xilingyue looked at his confused expression, and the thought of breaking the jar flashed through her mind several times. She was almost about to speak to him, but Wang Zhongsheng's voice rang out from the side.

"Brother Yu, the young shopkeeper of Xiling, come and try our freshly roasted lamb." Wang Zhongsheng said, bringing two pieces of roasted lamb skewered with wooden skewers to the two of them, and said humorously: "Fortunately, the one who regards sheep as a god

The big fool who served you is not here, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to eat this delicious food.”

"Didn't Senior Teng tell you to make peace with each other? Doesn't he dare to stop you from eating mutton in the inn again? I'll kick him out." Xi Lingyue said and put his hands on his waist.

"Ahem...Then I can't eat in front of him anymore. The so-called mutual respect does not mean that he unilaterally let me." Wang Zhongsheng sneered sheepishly, "Now that I know that other people have this custom, I can't eat it.

When it comes to sheep, I should avoid eating them."

Yu Shiqi and Xi Lingyue were so surprised that they opened their mouths after hearing what he said.

"I thought... I didn't expect Brother Wang to have such a delicate mind." Yu Shiqi said as he took the two skewers of roasted lamb from his hand.

"No, no, Brother Yu has thanked you." Wang Zhongsheng scratched his hair, "Um... you and the young shopkeeper continue to chat, just call us when you are about to go."

Xilingyue's mouth that had just been closed opened again because of surprise.

Yu Shiqi was still looking at Wang Zhongsheng's back when he heard Xilingyue's murmur from the side: "Did he actually see it? No... it's impossible."

"What?" Yu Shiqi didn't understand at all.

Xilingyue snatched both skewers of barbecue from his hands: "If you don't understand, just think about it while eating dry food."
