Eaglewood Crumbs - Chapter 28

Uncovering the lid, the aroma overflowed in the cabin. Yan Dan looked at the dumplings floating up and down in the pot and was very distressed. He thought they would stay here to eat together, so he made an extra portion for two people. Now, who will eat the extra dumplings? She turned her head slowly, saw the assassin shrunk in the corner of the cabin, and smiled: “Since I have cooked so much, I will feed you all.”

The assassin’s face was pale, and he said cautiously: “No, I still won’t spoil the girl’s cooking…”

Yan Dansheng pushed a bowl of dumplings in front of Yu Mo, then turned his head to look at him, slowly sinking his face, “You seem to be scared…Is it because I look terrible and scare you?”

The assassin immediately shook his head: “Girls are naturally beautiful, so beautiful!”

“Then what are you afraid of?” She scooped up a dumpling with a spoon and brought it to his mouth, “I think you are shaking so badly, I’m afraid that you can’t hold the spoon firmly. Let me feed you well. ?”

The assassin’s face was even paler, and he stammered: “Yes, but the meat, the meat…”

Yan Dan gave a long cry, and then unfastened the white cloth wrapped around his legs: “Look for yourself, where is a piece of meat missing?” She smiled slightly: “Come on, open your mouth, my craftsmanship is very good. “The assassin looked at his legs, closed his eyes, and swallowed the dumplings resigningly.

Yan Dan looked at him intently: “Does it taste good?”

The assassin immediately praised: “Okay, great!” At this time, even if it was a pig food, he could only say yes, not to mention that the dumplings were thin and juicy and salty, and they were full of praise, for fear of Yan Dan. An angry really chopped the meat from him into meat. Yan Dan smiled and said, “Then come and eat one more.” She fed them one by one, and unknowingly fed all the dumplings that came out of the pot.

Yu Mo looked at them and the dumplings in the spoon again, without speaking.

Yan Dan smiled and said, “What is your name? I can’t call you “Hey”.”

The population was stuffing dumplings, and said vaguely: “Leopard… Leopard.”

Yan Danyan said, “Well, can I change the shaomai tomorrow? The best I have ever tasted is in Tongcheng. I don’t know if I can make that kind of flavor.”

Leopard could not help asking: “Is it the shaomai sold by the old man Huang in Yangliu Alley, Tongcheng?”

“Yeah, yeah, you have eaten it too.”

“His jelly steamed meat is also delicious, not worse than his shaomai.”

Yan Dan was very happy and smiled like a flower: “Yes, yes, I went to line up to buy them early in the morning every morning, and they sold out when they were late.”

Yu Mo put down the bowl and coughed lightly, “Yan Dan.”

Yan Dan looked back at him immediately. Yu Mo said lightly: “I think you have had enough trouble today.” Yan Dan nodded obediently, and moved the oil lamp to a suitable position: “Shanzhu, are you going to read? I won’t bother you.”

Leopard asked in a low voice: “You are so afraid of him too?”

“I’m very scared. The main reason for the mountain is to get angry, so no matter who it is, he will directly take away Shen Jiang…”

The leopard shivered and stopped talking.

Yu Mo glanced at her, opened the booklet, and couldn’t help but look up to see what Yan Dan was doing when turning the pages. I saw that she conjured a set of dice with magic, and was betting on copper with the leopard. There was a small stack of won copper plates beside her. It seemed that the gambling was smooth and lucky. Yu Mo squeezed the booklet, Shen Shen said, “Yan Dan!”

Yan Dan was startled, the dice in his hand slipped, and it was exactly three dots facing up. Leopard laughed: “Three one, I will be the banker and kill all! These copper plates belong to me.”

Yu Mo rubbed his temples: “I think you are only happy if you are buried…”

Yan Dan was shocked, and staggered to the table: “I won’t play dice again, and I won’t annoy you anymore. Don’t bury me…” Yu Mo patted the cushion beside him: “You Sit here, no bargaining is allowed.”

Yan Dan pouted, moved to his side unwillingly, and quietly glanced at the book Yu Mo was reading. It was actually Fuxi Shushu, and it was fortunate that he could see such a boring thing.

Without Yan Dan to accompany him to throw dice, Leopard had to bet with his left and right hands. After throwing the dice for a while, he felt boring, so he shrank in the corner and snored loudly and fell asleep.

Yan Dan sat on his chin for a while, then slowly closed his eyes amidst the leopard’s purring. She was also confused for a while and suddenly woke up. The oil lamp was out, and the cabin was completely dark. She was resting on Yu Mo’s shoulders, probably leaning against him when she closed her eyes and was confused, but Yu Mo did not push her away. She moved carefully, Yu Mo frowned slightly, and rubbed her chin on top of her head.

Yan Dan moved away gently, dragged the blanket beside him, and gently covered him. She stretched out her hand cautiously, touched Yu Mo’s eyelashes, and murmured sympathetically: “I know you must be very sad to see the flower girl in her arms. I am not very good at comforting this, but I can’t help it, but I think Bailing will give you warmth…”

At dawn, the boat berths at the ferry by the river, and Wuzhen is not far from the ferry.

Yan Dan looked at the people who came to the market with their burdens early in the morning and couldn’t help wondering: “Is it a special day today? It’s really lively.”

Leopard broke his fingers and counted for a while: “Today is the third day of May, and the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Yan Dan hummed, “It’s the Dragon Boat Festival…”

The fifth day of May is the most sunny day between heaven and earth. There is a custom of eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats in the mortal world, but for them, this day is the most difficult day. She has a deep cultivation base and is naturally not afraid, but she still feels uncomfortable after all.

Just for the occasion, the zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival is still to be eaten.

Yan Dan bought glutinous rice dumplings with bacon and chestnuts, and gave them all to Leopard to carry. After passing by a stall selling apples, Yu Mo’s footsteps were obvious. Yan Dan was agitated, and immediately said, “My son, what do you think of the oranges over there?” The oranges can be eaten as long as they are peeled, and the apples have to be peeled and cut into pieces. Naturally, Yu Mo doesn’t have to be troublesome, but she If you want to save trouble, save trouble.

Leopard said stupidly: “If you eat too much oranges, you will get angry.”

Yan Dan said coldly: “It’s just right with mung bean cake.”

Yu Mo paused the folding fan in his palm, and said lightly, “Then oranges.”

Yan Dan smiled slightly, with bright eyes and white teeth: “My son, you are so good.” The leopard was despised and had to follow behind with the basket dingy.

Yu Mo whispered: “It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in two days. We’re afraid we won’t have time to return to the Kuanglan Mountain Realm. Can you survive it?” Yan Dan didn’t care much: “That is, I’m not the first time. It’s Dragon Boat Festival.”

Yu Mo smiled, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes softened: “You say this now, don’t cry to me when you feel uncomfortable that day.”

Yan Dan suddenly felt very embarrassed, and pouted slightly: “I won’t cry.”

Leopard pointed to the stall selling jelly: “Jelly steamed meat…” Yu Mo gave him a cold look. Leopard shivered aggrievedly, and then took two steps back in silence.

Yan Dan bit his chopsticks and watched the leopard stuffed the jelly steamed meat on the plate into his mouth like running water, and hurriedly asked, “How about it?” The leopard didn’t wait to swallow it completely, and said vaguely, “Well, better than yellow. The old man is better…”

Yan Dan lifted a corner of the steamer basket and put out a steaming siu mai: “Come on, try this.”

Leopard took her hand and bit down the shaomai, chewed a few times: “Very well, I have nothing to say about it.”

Yu Mo squeezed the book in his hand, and a crease suddenly appeared on the flat pages.

“Girl Yan, are you kind enough to give me another one?” Leopard stared at the steamer coveted.

Yan Dan took out another shaomai, blew the heat, and brought it to his mouth: “Come on, be careful…”

Yu Mo put down the book in his hand, stood up long, picked up the collar of the leopard, and dragged him toward the bow. Leopard struggled vigorously, but Yu Mo didn’t seem to even feel it, and continued to drag him out without squinting. Yan Dan quickly grabbed Yu Mo’s sleeves and shook it gently: “Shanzhu, are you going to throw him into the river?”

Yu Mo said lightly: “So what?”

“The boat is off the shore. How pitiful it would be to throw someone into the water and let him swim back. Right, Leopard?”

Leopard nodded quickly.

“What if I have to throw him down?”

Yan Dan weighed the pros and cons, resolutely letting go: “Then throw it away.”

Leopard closed his eyes in despair.

Hearing a plop from outside the cabin, Yu Mo lifted the curtain and walked in. He brushed his sleeves casually, sat down at the table again, picked up the book and continued reading.

Yan Dan listened to the movement outside with her ears upright, and quietly stretched out her hand to open the curtain to take a look, only to hear Yu Mo coughing slightly behind her, she immediately retracted her hand and sat upright: “Mountain Lord, you Hungry too?”

Yu Mo put down his book, Yan Dan immediately put the food on the low table, and started to arrange dishes for him: “Shanzhu, what stuffing do you like to eat rice dumplings? Sweet or salty?”

Yu Mo thought for a while and said, “Salty.”

Yan Dan nodded: “I think it’s salty too.”

It’s really good to have a few rare occasions on mortal festivals.

On the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

On this day, the boat floated to Huanhua Creek.

Yan Dan felt suffocated early in the morning, and was even more dizzy after sitting on the bow for a while. Yu Mo soaked the towel in the stream, wrung it dry, and handed it to her: “Why, it feels very hot?” Yan Dan was already dizzy and didn’t reach out to pick it up, so he rubbed his hand on the towel and muttered. Muttered: “I just feel uncomfortable, weak…”

Yu Mo looked at her, gently wiped her face with a handkerchief, and whispered: “This is the same day, Shinichiren will pass quickly.” His fingers were slightly cold and touched his face. Very comfortable. Yan Dan murmured: “Why don’t you have anything…”

Yu Mo smiled in a low voice, his voice soft and sweet: “Do you feel better now?”

Yan Dan tried hard, rowed the boat to the ferry, and was about to struggle to climb into the cabin. Suddenly someone shouted loudly not far away: “Help, help… Grunt, help, help…” One head came up, and after a while it sank again. Yan Dan squinted his eyes and saw that he was a teenager who wanted to climb off the boat to save people.

Yu Mo stopped her for a while and said lightly: “You’re all in this way, so you can rest a little bit so that I won’t be able to save you two.” He stepped into the water and slowly crossed to the place where the child was drowning. Yan Dan was lying on the boat watching him, only to feel that Yu Mo’s okay appearance was just trying to behave. Yu Mo is better on the demon technique, but they are really half-hearted on the cultivation base. If she feels uncomfortable, how can Yu Mo get better?

But seeing Yu Modu approaching, he reached out and grabbed the child. The child fluttered a few times, and unexpectedly entangled Yu Mo’s arm, holding it tightly. Yu Mo slapped the child unconsciously with a clean palm and dragged him toward the shore. Yan Dan looked at him and felt that the back of his neck started to hurt. The two got ashore, and before they could stand firm, they saw a peasant girl rushed up and grabbed Yu Mo’s hand: “Thank you, son, for saving my brother, son is not unforgettable…” Released the hand holding Yu Mo, he snatched the child over again, and hit hard a few times: “Let you be naughty, let you go into the water to play… You just refuse to be obedient…” The child was originally caught by Yu. Mo Pi was fainted, but he was woken up by his sister, crying.

Yan Dan felt amused, and walked behind Yu Mo with his clean clothes: “My son, are you okay?”

Yu Mo looked at her and smiled slowly, with a smile blowing in the air: “It’s okay.”

Seeing his smile, Yan Dan couldn’t help thinking, maybe Yu Mo is really gentle.

The peasant girl Lianxin led them to the house, because it was shaded, it was far cooler than on the boat. Yan Dan put his clean clothes on the old wooden table, and then stood outside with the door. The little devil caught from the water was being chased by his sister and running around the courtyard. When he saw Yan Dan, he quickly hid behind her and dared not stick his head out.

“You can hide again. If you have the ability, you will always hide and don’t come out!” Lian puffed up and rolled up her sleeves. “Do you know that grandma is not in good health and can’t bear it, you will only get into trouble when you are so big!”

Yan Dan smiled slightly and said, “Miss Lotus, children should be taught slowly.” She turned around and said softly, “I’ll tell you a story, OK? There was a mountain demon who was not obedient. He has a lot of subordinates. He went around asking where there were disobedient children. He immediately grabbed them. First, he cut off the ears of those children and drink them. Anyway, no matter what the adults say, those children don’t listen and grow up. What’s the use of ears…”

The child turned pale, and tremblingly hid behind her sister.

The door squeaked open behind him, Yu Mo walked out, and smiled slightly, “Yan Dan, you are fooling around again.” He put on his pale green robe, and suddenly came to Master Pianpian.

Yan Dan tapped his chin with his fingers, not forgetting to compliment, “My son and noble son love Qingshan Xiao Ran, but it’s not as suitable as you.”

Yu Mo raised his hand and squeezed the tip of her nose, and said softly, “Yan Dan, when can you correct this problem of meeting people and talking nonsense?”

Yan Dan was silent: Mortals often say that it is difficult to be a human, but she finds that being a demon is even more difficult. It is not unreasonable. Once you say something good, you will be disgusted.

Lian Xin smiled and said, “It’s almost noon. You can stay here for lunch too. My grandmother did the cooking.” She didn’t wait for the other party to agree, so she pulled one hand in hand: “My grandmother’s craftsmanship is good. , I’m sure you’ll be thinking about it once you have eaten it.”

Yan Dan was also very interested when she heard this.

When they walked into the main room, they saw a gray-haired old woman putting the tableware. Yan Dan couldn’t help thinking that the old woman seemed to be quite old, and she should be as old as a fraction of her age. It is really not easy to pull these two siblings.

When she approached the table, she immediately saw a bowl of boiled yellow croaker with pickled vegetables in the middle of the table. In the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to rice dumplings, yellow croaker is also essential.

And Bailing told at least ten things, one of them is: whether the fish is steamed, grilled, fried, or fished from the river, stream, or sea, it is not allowed to reach the mountain. At the main table. But what she inquired privately was that Yu Mo’s real body was a fish. After all, seeing the cooked corpses of the same kind placed on a plate in front of me, and watching others eat it, it feels really bad.

Yan Dan couldn’t help but peeked at Yu Mo, only to see that his expression was plain, as if Taishan collapsed in front of his eyes without moving his face.
