When I got to the kitchen, I saw that the stove was clean, the floor had been swept, hot water was boiling in the back pot, but the front stove was empty.

"I don't know the master's taste, so I don't dare to prepare it without permission. My cooking skills... are not very good." Cen Xiaoshan quickly added, "But I learn quickly. Just give me a day or two and I can cook it."

learn."

He was very confident when he said this, making people feel that as long as he touches the kitchen twice, he will definitely be able to get started.

"No, no, no, I'll do it myself." Mu Xue rolled up her sleeves, "I don't eat much, I can just eat one meal in a few days."

Although her need for food is no longer great, this child is a mortal and needs three meals a day. Mu Xue reminded herself not to forget.

He has already taken him home. Before his feet get better, he has to work hard.

She was multi-tasking, keeping things in the air, washing rice with both hands, and the sharp kitchen knife on the cutting board beside her was chopping meat out of thin air. The oil in the pot was sizzling at the same time, and a spatula was flying up and down on its own, frying.

Fragrant poached eggs.

Finally, add a little onion oil, and soon a pot of colorful rice and meatball porridge is ready.

Mu Xueyun made the hot pot filled with porridge hang in the air and moved it at his own pace. He held two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks in his hands and called to Cen Xiaoshan, "Let's go eat."

The very informal dining table was also in the big room, and Mu Xue handed out a bowl for Cen Xiaoshan to serve porridge.

Just as I made a ball of meatballs, a voice from the other side whispered: "I...I don't eat meat."

Mu Xue exclaimed, in this world some people like to eat vegetarian food and some people like to eat meat. This is normal. She put aside the meatballs and fished out a golden poached egg.

The man added, "I don't need to eat eggs either."

"You don't need much porridge, I eat very little."

Mu Xue raised her head and finally understood that it wasn't that she didn't want to eat meat, but that she didn't need to eat meat. It wasn't that she didn't like eating eggs and porridge, but she was afraid that if she ate too much, she wouldn't like it.

The boy standing at the table, wearing loose and shabby clothes, covered his lonely body. At the same time, there was a rumble of hunger in his stomach.

Cen Xiaoshan pursed his lips and looked away awkwardly.

Mu Xue filled the bowl with meatballs again, put two browned poached eggs on top, and placed them in front of him with a snap.

"Sit down and eat. Although I'm not a rich man, my family is not short of money. Just eat as much as you want."

She served the porridge for the boy and herself, and opened a book "The Essence of Smelting Fire" on the table while eating and reading.

She gradually became enchanted as she watched. She didn't notice when the boy next to her took a seat or when he lowered his head and slowly finished his meal.

It was not until a long time later that someone called her gently that Mu Xue woke up from the book.

There was still more than half of the porridge in his own bowl, which was already cold, but Xiaoshan's bowl had long been eaten clean and placed neatly with his chopsticks.

"Master, if you don't want to eat, will I clean it up?" the boy asked her cautiously.

Mu Xue's mind had not yet been removed from the book, and she hummed in confusion.

The bowls and chopsticks were gently taken away, and a moment later someone brought her a cup of hot tea, placed it in her hand, and reminded her softly.

Mu Xue picked it up and took a sip.

What was brewed in the cup was snow chrysanthemum tea, with more than four or five small chrysanthemums blooming, a red date pressed into it, and perhaps one or two grains of rock sugar in it. It had just the right amount of sweetness, which was Mu Xue's favorite taste.

Mu Xue raised her head with some confusion and met Cen Xiaoshan's searching eyes.

"Strange, how do you know I like to drink this?"

Cen Xiaoshan thought about it for a moment and explained truthfully: "All the tea cans in the kitchen are dusty, except for this one from Xuejue. When the host made the meatballs in the morning, he added some sugar and boiled onion oil. So,

I think the master’s taste may be on the sweeter side. I’d like to give it a try, but I don’t know if it’s good or not?”

"The fragrance is pleasant, the silky sweetness goes into the throat, and it relieves greasiness and removes oil. It's very good." Mu Xue praised the child.

Why did you find smart children annoying before?

Such a considerate little guy carefully figures out your preferences and takes care of your daily life in every possible way. It is obviously a very comfortable thing.

In the afternoon, Mu Xue was busy at the workbench for a long time. Suddenly she turned around and looked around for a long time, then asked Cen Xiaoshan, who was sitting in the toad light array, "

"Have you seen..." she gestured, "a small jar with blue scale powder in it?"

The room immediately heard the clicking sound of crutches. Cen Xiaoshan, leaning on his crutches, pulled out a small can from the corner of the floor and showed it to Mu Xue.

"Yes, that's it. It's great."

Cen Xiaoshan handed over the jar and asked tentatively, "If the master allows me, can I sort out the refining materials in the house?"

Mu Xue nodded. She had so many different kinds of refining materials that sometimes she even couldn't remember what she had bought.

Not only are there on the shelves in this room, but there are also about a dozen Qiankun bags of different sizes. In total, there are tens of thousands of categories. Although they have been briefly classified, they are still not easy to find.

If someone is willing to sort it out, I really want it.

By the time the day passed unknowingly and Mu Xue paused her work, the whole house had completely changed.

There is no more unnecessary debris on the floor. The shelves several meters high around the walls are divided into categories, and all kinds of refined materials are clearly placed.

There are even signs with broad categories, detailed outlines and index sheets posted on the edge of the stairs of each shelf.

There was a layer of green and black under Xiaoshan's eyes, and he pointed to the two attic floors to Mu Xue apologetically, "These are materials that I don't recognize. I will leave them here for the time being. I have to thank the master for some pointers. Sea Beast

I haven’t had time to subdivide the materials for animals and birds, nor for the minerals. But as long as I have three to five days, I should be able to complete them in detail.”

"This is already..." Mu Xue was stunned, "It's much better already, you don't have to be in such a hurry. You are a mortal, you must sleep for a while every day, don't follow my schedule, as a monk is full of energy, you don't need too much sleep

.So I sleep very little. But as long as you are sleepy, go to sleep by yourself."

In order to praise Cen Xiaoshan, she sent out her little puppet "Qianji". The little puppet took the instruction and ran away. After a while, its thin arms came back holding high bags of things.

The package contained clothes, bedding, gauze, medicine and various fruits, vegetables and meat.

"I'm sorry, I may not be a good master. I almost forgot in my busy schedule. It took me a whole day to buy these for you." Mu Xue handed Cen Xiaoshan's clothes to him and pointed to his legs.

"Are you feeling better? Can I give you some medicine?"

Cen Xiaoshan slightly blocked his right leg with a walking stick and took the clothes Mu Xue handed him: "Thank you, Master. It's much better now. I can take care of it myself."

Mu Xue saw that his movements were fine and there was no more blood on his right leg, so he didn't take it to heart.

She hurriedly went to the kitchen and cooked a few greasy dishes, thinking that it was more important to make this skinny little guy fatter.

"Xiaoshan, do you know where the bone meal of Fuhaoyu is?"

After a clicking sound, the dark green glass tube was quickly placed on Mu Xue's workbench.

"Xiaoshan, where's my eight-headed ghost noodle oil bath pot?"

"Here, I'm going to clean you up."

"Can you remove the thorns from the exquisite flowers and help me take care of them?"

"Master, show me once and I can give it a try."

But within two or three days, something seemed to be completely different in this room, which had always been dull and silent, just because of the addition of a little person.

This child was on crutches and was always busy and diligent. In a short period of time, Mu Xue felt that losing him would be very inconvenient.

He also began to try to mention a little bit of his little wishes to Mu Xue.

"I have only read "The Complete Examination of Demonic Beasts". Master, I can't distinguish many of the materials here, and I have to take the trouble to sort them out. I'm really ashamed."

"Ah, I have "Monster Chronicles", "Magic Book" and "A Close Reading of Stone Mines" here. If you like them, you can take a look."

"The other books on the shelf..."

"Whatever you want, you can watch it."

"Thank you very much, Master."

It turns out that this child has a desire to learn.

Indeed, he is a child who is excellent in all aspects. He is extremely intelligent. He can master everything as long as he says it once and demonstrates it once. He has never made any mistakes.

If you accept him as a disciple and lead him on the path of spiritual practice, you will definitely achieve something and become a better helper to yourself.

Mu Xue thought to herself, let's observe him for a while.

Before the day of observation had even begun, an unexpected incident occurred.

It was the fourth day after Xiaoshan arrived home.

The room was unusually quiet,

When Mu Xue came back to her senses, she realized that the sound of the cane that sounded from time to time seemed to have disappeared for a long time. The teacup at hand was also rarely empty.

Mu Xue turned around and looked. The door of the house was wide open. It was quiet outside. The night sky was dark and there was heavy snow falling in the yard.
