A roaring bonfire.

There was a small pot on the bonfire.

The water in the pot is steaming with hot smoke, but the noodles haven't been cooked yet.

Xiao Baozi bent over and kneaded his face.

Li Chenan sat aside and watched Xiao Baozi kneading the dough carefully.

His eyes were not on the dough on the chopping board.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, like a crescent moon.

Xiao Baozi's linen robe was very wide, so the two tips of the crescent moon rippled with Xiao Baozi's kneading gesture.

He licked his lips and allowed the inner breath in his Dantian to surge again.

"I didn't expect you to bring these things."

Xiao Baozi brought a complete set of things, not only pots and pans, but also chopping boards and rolling pins!

This made Li Chenan extremely curious while watching the waves.

Xiao Baozi raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I didn't bring it!"

Li Chenan was startled, "Where did that come from?"

"My dad! He gave it to me!"

Li Chenan was shocked:

"...Why did he give you these things?"

Xiao Baozi curled his lips, "He said that my mother would carry these things with her wherever she went!"

She glanced at Li Chenan's puzzled expression, thought for a while, and then said:

"You know that every disciple of Wanxi Zhai cherishes food very much. That's because he was once hungry."

"My mother was the previous owner of Wanxi Zhai. I'm afraid she has never seen much money in her life... No, maybe she also got a lot of money. Otherwise, where did all the books in Wanxi Zhai come from?

Come?"

"But Wanxi Zhai's tradition of cherishing food is rooted in everyone's heart."

"My mother is used to being frugal, so it's normal to carry these with her wherever she goes... I also discovered the benefit of carrying these with me at this time."

"For example, I can cook you a bowl of noodles at this time."

"I was wondering, did my mother use a bowl of noodles or a drawer of steamed buns to get my dad?"

"Probably so."

"Although my mother is literate, she has never really read. Since my mother has collected so many books, it shows that she admires people with literary talents. My father happens to be that kind of person, but he is much older than my mother.

."

"My mother is young and beautiful, and my father..."

Xiao Baozi wanted to say that it was easier for young grass to provoke old cows, but after thinking about it, it was her father after all, so she swallowed the words back.

"I don't know the story between my mother and my father, and I don't want to know."

Xiao Baozi continued to knead the dough, his body swaying, waves and waves.

After a moment, she stopped and straightened up, her face already kneaded.

She took a rolling pin and rolled out the dough, turning it into a large pancake.

The water in the pot has boiled.

Li Chenan's eyes left Xiao Baozi and looked around, "There is no kitchen knife."

Xiao Baozi turned around and picked up her Wuwei Sword.

She pulled out her sword, and with a flash of sword light, Li Chenan saw the sword strike at the noodle cake quickly.

Duh duh duh…

The noodles were cut into noodles of even thickness by Xiao Baozi!

The cutting board was not broken.

Xiao Baozi put the cut noodles into the pot and turned to look at Li Chenan:

"When I came here, I passed by Zhouzhuang and took a look at Xiaojian and Xiaoqin."

"How are they?"

"Xiao Jian's injury has recovered and he is helping Yin Ruming take care of the inn."

"Oh, that's good too."

Xiao Baozi stretched out his chopsticks and stirred the pot, "But he is not happy."

"Why?"

"The news of your death on the top of the Western Mountain spread throughout Ningguo, and Xiaojian also knew about it. He...he was very sad."

"Xiaoqin is also very sad."

"In addition, I heard that many disciples of Songshan Sword Academy and Mushan Sword have left the mountain and gone to Taohua Island. Now Taohua Island has really become a powerful sect."

"Xiaojian said that he is also going to take Xiaoqin to Peach Blossom Island..."

Xiao Baozi took two earthen bowls, got some seasonings from several bottles and jars, and put the cooked noodles into the bowls.

She actually took out two green onions from a small basket, washed them in the stream, and chopped them into chopped green onions with her sword!

After twisting a pinch of green onion and putting it into the bowl, she handed the bowl of noodles to Li Chenan:

"It's a pity that there are no eggs. It would be more delicious if you fried an egg."

Li Chenan took it and said, "This is already very good."

Xiao Baozi laughed happily: "I thought you were used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so you would dislike this salty and tasteless noodles."

Li Chenan picked up a chopstick and blew on it, "I'm not that delicate. I'm very easy to raise. I have you to feed me... with the smell of the sea breeze, this is the best delicacy in the world!"

Xiao Baozi's slender eyes turned into crescent moons. She didn't know what the smell of sea breeze was. She only knew that Li Chenan liked it and it was the best.

She was chuckling and holding a bowl of noodles, but she couldn't take her eyes off Li Chenan as he ate the noodles.

Her heart felt peaceful at the moment.

I felt that this was the safest and most beautiful moment.

Then I found that with this cow by my side, my heart felt extremely at ease. Perhaps this was the sustenance of my heart.

Li Chenan was really hungry too.

He didn't even take two bites of the food on the table he ordered at Jianghu Restaurant. Although Xiao Baozi's noodles lacked a lot of seasonings, they had salt and chopped green onions. He ate them with big mouthfuls, and what he ate was thick.

A strong taste of love.

"That summer flower girl..."

Xiao Baozi ate the noodles in small bites and suddenly turned to look at Li Chenan: "After what happened to you at the top of the Western Mountain, that girl was sad for a long time. She saved my life."

Li Chenan was startled. He didn't know that Xiao Baozi was so despondent that he almost died.

He also looked at Xiao Baozi and thought, are you asking me to pledge myself to you?

Of course Xiao Baozi didn't know Li Chenan's obscene thoughts, so he added:

"I don't mean anything else. She must like you. She is also very talented in martial arts, especially the Tianmo Qinyin she learned, which is similar to Wan Xizhai's Taoist sword."

"They are all kung fu that were passed down from the Yin Sect a hundred years ago. Especially when facing many enemies, they are extremely lethal. Therefore, it is recorded in Wan Xizhai's books that these two kung fu should have been born for the battlefield...

"

"That is to say, when these two martial arts are used on the battlefield, facing thousands of troops, their large-scale lethality will play a huge role in the outcome of the battle."

Li Chenan finished the last bite of noodles and asked: "What kind of sect is Yinmen? Where is it?"

"The Yinmen is not a sect."

"No one knows where that door is, so it's called the Hidden Door by people in the world."

"There are very few records about the Hidden Gate in Wan Xizhai's books. I guess... the Hidden Gate was probably the refuge chosen by the Dali royal family when the Dali Empire was destroyed!"

Li Chenan was startled, and Xiao Baozi said again:

"The Dali Empire used to be very powerful, and martial arts were extremely prosperous. The Dali royal family controlled most of the martial arts secrets in the world, and also trained many masters."

"But after the demise of the Dali Empire, those martial arts that were once extremely powerful in the world were discontinued. Therefore, some people think that those martial arts secrets were taken away by the Dali Royal Family. From this, it can be inferred that the Dali Royal Family has not disappeared."

"It's just that over the years, no one knows where they have gone, or whether they have always been in the world."

"Are you full?"

Li Chenan nodded, and Xiao Baozi took the bowl from Li Chenan's hand, "It's too late, you have to go back."

"Okay, you, you come with me."
