Chapter 54: When the water is clear, there will be no fish
Among the green mountains and green waters, there is an occasional breeze blowing on your face, making you feel cool all over.
The stream is trickling and crystal clear. Not to mention fish, even a small shrimp is hard to find.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is probably what is happening in front of you. Shi Meng pouted, her cloud sleeves rolled up high, revealing her white lotus-rooted arms and lazily paddling the cool stream, "Yifeng, don't look for it. Just take a look.
After all, where is the shadow of fish?"
"Why do you have to eat fish? I just saw a lot of small green snakes in the woods in front of me. Why don't we catch them and eat them? It's better than going hungry!" Cai Xi volunteered and wanted to go into the forest to catch snakes to satisfy her hunger.
.
Caixi had good intentions, but she forgot that the two people in front of her looked like picturesque and handsome, but they were just real butterflies. Not to mention letting them eat snake meat, I was just looking at them from a distance.
, also requires great courage.
Seeing that Yifeng's originally rosy cheeks suddenly turned as pale as snow, and then looked at Xi Meng sitting on the bank with an indifferent expression, he laughed and said, "Sister Caixi, I heard that you are also a practitioner. Such a thing of killing
It’s better to do less and do less!”
Uh... Shi Meng felt a little guilty when she said this. However, she had always known that Yifeng was a vegetarian. Even when he had grilled fish some time ago, he used grilled sweet potatoes to fool her. It was not easy to coax her that night.
He prescribed the drug, but how could she forget his helpless look at that time?
In this way, it is God's will that there are no fish in the stream today. Although they have come to the human world, it is not easy to practice spiritual practice after all. It is best not to kill and take lives if possible.
Cai Xi didn't understand the deep meaning of Xi Meng's words, but she thought that the butterfly clan was probably born with a fear of snakes, so she stopped forcing it.
But there are no fish in the water, no fruit on the trees, and there are snakes but I can't eat them. But I am empty in my belly. I can't help but pout my mouth, pull Yifeng's arm and shake it, "Brother Feng, Xiao Xi is so hungry. How about..."
She suddenly came closer and lowered her voice, "Why don't Xiao Xi go to the forest in front to see if there are any bugs that we can eat, brother, would you like to go with us?" Smelling the light fragrance of Yifeng, she couldn't help but swallow.
She took a sip of saliva. Hey, every time she smelled his scent, she remembered the scene when she first saw him under the five-color petals. She was five hundred years old, but she had never seen such a beautiful seven-color caterpillar. She was so beautiful.
I can't bear to eat him.
"I'm not hungry, you can go alone!" Yifeng was pestered by her all the way and didn't even have a chance to breathe. Now that she wanted to look for food alone, she couldn't help but wish for it.
Seeing that his blue eyes were twinkling and showing no interest, Cai Xi had to let go of her hand and go to the woods to find food.
As soon as she walked away, a smile finally appeared on Yifeng's face. She was about to go ashore to talk to Simeng, but she heard a scream not far away, and for a moment, a green shadow flashed in front of her eyes. The two of them took a closer look,
It's Mu Zili.
"Senior Brother Mu?! That cry just now? It sounds so familiar. You...you didn't molest my sister Cai Xi, did you?" Simeng raised her sleeves and pointed at the expressionless Mu Zili in front of her, and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Zili's face turned pale and he said blankly: "Meng'er said something harsh. It's just that Miss Caixi was frightened by Mr. Luo and I just happened to pass by." After he finished speaking,
Turning to the left, there was indeed another person behind him. He was wearing a plain light cyan gown, with long wet hair hanging around his waist. His complexion was dark, and his facial features were unremarkable, but his eyes were so dark and bottomless that people didn't dare to
Watch for a long time.
Xi Meng and Yifeng were both shocked. Needless to say, the person in front of them must be Luo Cheng. Previously, his face was covered with messy hair and his body was dirty. He couldn't see his true appearance clearly, but his eyes were so sharp and sharp.
It belongs to ordinary people. Now that he has washed away all the dirt, his body shape is almost the same as that of Mu Zili, but his face is particularly ordinary, so ordinary that people don't look at it more, for fear that they will forget his appearance if they turn around.
"I have met you all in Luo City. Thank you for not giving up..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Simeng.
"Okay, okay! Aren't you tired of thanking me a thousand times all the way? A manly man, don't always act like a mother-in-law!"
But Luo Cheng's face turned red and he cupped his hands, looking a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound that made everyone look startled, and then they heard a low roar from Shi Meng: "I'm starving to death, why don't you hurry up and find me something to eat!"
In fact, in order to prevent the villagers from going hungry, she hardly ate that day. Even if she had three full meals a day, she would have to eat some snacks and fruits to not be hungry.
Seeing that Yi Feng was in trouble and Luo Cheng was at a loss, Mu Zili remained very calm. He slowly raised his sleeves and found a few red fruits in his palms. "Let's eat some for now! We will set off for the front in a while."
We’ll settle down in a small town and then we’ll find ways to get some food and wine to eat.”
Haha, at the critical moment, you still have to rely on wood. Xi Meng stared and smiled, picked up a red fruit and took a bite. Her mouth was full of sweetness, "Senior Brother Mu is the best! Hehe! This fruit is so sweet, you guys should eat it too!"
At nearly noon that day, Xi Meng and his group of five finally arrived at Hongling Town before they were exhausted.
The town is built on the mountain. A crystal clear river divides the town into two parts from north to south. The west side is backed by the mountain and has continuous shade of trees. Although the sun is shining, it is cool and pleasant. Most of the houses at the foot of the mountain are
Built with bamboo and wood, it looks simple and elegant on the surface, but it is actually the residence of wealthy people. On the east side, it is just the opposite. Not only does it have no shade from the sun, it is as hot as fire, and most of the houses are made of thatch. At first glance, it looks like the residence of ordinary people.
Residence.
The town is not big, with only three or five streets. Most of them gather on the west side of the river. It is crowded and very prosperous. On the only stone arch bridge that connects the east and west of the town, farmers occasionally pass by carrying fruits and vegetables, and the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another.
