Chapter 41 Starving Ghosts
A Qing still replied with a smile: "It's all the big brother who works hard on his own, A Qing actually doesn't understand anything."
Xu Yang put away the wooden sword and smiled and said, "Tomorrow will be a big competition. I can make a breakthrough today, which is really a matter of gaining confidence for me. If I don't practice today, I will accompany Aqing to herd sheep and relax."
The girl is simple-minded and can grazle sheep with her elder brother, so she will naturally be as good as she can.
In the warm spring sunshine, the two drove away the flock of sheep, chatting and laughing, strolling in the picturesque foothills, talking about family matters, and the warm wind blew on their faces. Xu Yang only felt unspeakable and joyful.
As he was talking, he mentioned the white ape again. Xu Yang asked Ah Qing why he never saw the white ape who taught her swordsmanship. Ah Qing didn't know it. He only said that it might be because he was playing a few days ago and he accidentally injured the white ape's arm. Maybe Eunuch Bai was angry and hadn't seen it for more than a month. He talked about the embarrassing thing that Eunuch Bai came to ride a sheep but couldn't stop it. The two of them laughed constantly.
Xu Yang thought to himself that it would be best if Eunuch Bai didn't come. God knows how this spirit beast is about to him. If it is just like the attitude towards Fan Li in the original work, wouldn't he be seeking death? Xu Yang is not sure. If Bai Yuan takes action against him, it would be better to avoid it.
The two of them walked around, and the sheep followed slowly as if they were human. They didn't go far, saving them a lot of trouble. After a long circle, they returned to the stream. Ah Qing looked at the clear stream and asked Xu Yang if he was hungry. Xu Yang knew that she was going to show her cooking skills again, so he nodded and went with her to find the kind of snails. Unfortunately, he was not lucky today and only found seven or eight large snails. Some of them were small, and they didn't like it. They didn't have much meat. It would be better to let them continue to grow and catch them in the future.
Xu Yang asked Ah Qing, is this kind of snail only available in this stream? Ah Qing only said that he didn't know it, maybe there were also in other streams, but he had always been shepherding sheep and could not go too far. Xu Yang decided to have free time in the competition and go to the mountains to find this kind of snails by himself. When he went back, he could make it for his family and friends to eat. Although they could not let them practice internal energy, they could at least strengthen their bodies.
The two of them looked for the stone pot before and cooked the seven or eight snails. Xu Yang asked Ah Qing to eat more. He only ate three of them, which increased the internal strength by 1 point. Xu Yang only cares about the deliciousness. This internal strength is no longer important to him.
However, those who practice martial arts have a big appetite. Not to mention Xu Yang, even A Qing is not too full. So Xu Yang stayed to watch the sheep and A Qing went to get some wild game.
As soon as Ah Qing walked away, Xu Yang felt a little idle. Sheep were very obedient, drinking water and eating grass by the stream, and there were no beasts nearby. Xu Yang lay down beneath a tree to calm down. On such a tired and lazy afternoon, letting the warm sunshine spread throughout his body. How comfortable, he slowly fell asleep without realizing it.
In the dream, Xu Yang returned to his original world and saw the computer, mobile phone, basketball game, king of pesticides...
I also met my girlfriend whom I missed for many days, good friends who drank and watched football together, and even my mean boss looked a little cute in my dreams. Of course, there were also mean landlords, colleagues who had no common language, and talkative aunts and aunts. Now I think about it, they are all pretty good.
Even in the dream, Xu Yang smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Compared to this small world, I am indeed more adaptable to modern society.
Fortunately, after tomorrow, I can leave here and return to my own world at any time.
I was a little reluctant to let it go before, but when I think about it, I still had a lot of discomfort with the ancient society, such as the pace of life, and the fast-paced and fast-food culture of modern society is more inclined to my appetite. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the old wine with light taste and turbid appearance at this time, even the beer of later generations is not as good as that of beer in later generations. As a veteran foodie, namely Aqing's Qingshui Tianshang, Qi Jiang's Zhiwei Side Dishes and some dishes at the imperial banquet are worthy of their appetite. Other foods can be said to be at most "can be eaten".
Then the dream suddenly changed again, and the pressure of life gradually came. The monthly rent, the thin payroll, the job was not recognized by the leaders, and friends gradually became alienated. Even his girlfriend became more and more distant. When he met, he only talked about buying a house, promotion and other topics that he was not interested in at all, and he even had few news a day to contact him...
"Ah snee..." Xu Yang was woken up by a sneeze. If it weren't for this sneeze, he would probably have turned into a nightmare.
There was still an itchy feeling at the tip of the nose. I wiped my nose and opened my eyes. In front of me was a small face with a clever smile. Who is it not A Qing?
A Qingxun threw away the dogtail grass in his hand and said with a smile: "Big brother, I didn't want to wake you up, but A Qing had to beat the big pheasant. If you don't wake up, the pheasant will be burnt."
When he smelled the fragrance from the breeze, he knew that he had overslept, so Xu Yang naturally would not blame A Qing for waking him up, and said, "A Qing is so fast, and his elder brother is tired, and he fell asleep at such a short time."
A Qing smiled slightly, pulled Xu Yang up, and came to the campfire together. Seeing that a big fat chicken was already cooked, it seemed that she had been sleeping for a long time. A Qing hunted, plucked hair, cleaned, and grilled a lot of things. Although A Qing was moving quickly, it was rare that she could sleep so well after sleeping.
Each of them divided a chicken leg and started to chew. Although there was no salt added, the aroma of chicken oil alone was enough for Xu Yang to eat half of the chicken.
Ah Qing has a smaller appetite, and she has eaten too many snails, so she stopped eating it after a few bites.
At this time, someone came from afar and came over and said loudly: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, walk with beauties every day, the scenery is bright and the moon is bright, and there are such delicious food, and the days are like fairy."
When I got closer, I saw that this person was not familiar with him. I seemed to have met him at an imperial banquet. I only remember that this person was a civil servant with a very good appearance. Apart from that, I had no impression of anything else.
The civil servant approached and gave a little gift. He hurriedly grabbed half of the chicken to eat, and said while eating: "It's really delicious. If you smell it from afar, you will know it's delicious, but you don't know that it tastes more delicious than it smells. Yes, it's delicious."
You are reincarnated by the starving ghost. Xu Yang secretly complained, but it is not surprising. In ancient times, literati thought it was beautiful without paying attention to the details. This person's behavior is so inverted, but he can still be glorious in the court, and it is obvious that he is not an easy person.
However, Ah Qing was secretly happy when she was said by a starving ghost. When she saw this person admiring her cooking skills, she had a good impression of him and looked at him eating chicken with a smile.
Soon, the whole chicken was left with only the skeleton. The starving ghost didn't even let go of the chicken's claws and bones. He chewed it cleanly before sighing regretfully, and just wiped his dirty hands on the grass and it was over.
