The Sword Dynasty - 836. Chapter 835

The snowflakes are very light and soft, but when they are piled up thick, they show a completely different taste, and the sound of breaking branches in the mountains and forests is endless.

Not only the dead branches, but those trunks that spread out and branch more on weekdays bear more weight. They are often unbearable and suddenly break when the breeze is swaying, revealing extremely fresh fractures.

Wearing an old yellow bamboo hat on his head and straw shoes, Ye Xinhe walked on the snowy road in the mountains.

The snow on the mountain road is already thick, and there is no ankle after stepping on it. Even the hunters in the mountain can’t go out behind closed doors.

In the valley, there is a small courtyard with dry wood as the fence. It seems to be shaky in the snow, but there is smoke in the bark chimney on the eaves, and there is fire inside, but it gives people a warm feeling.

Ye Xinhe came to this small courtyard unhurriedly, opened the simple Chai courtyard door, and walked into the small courtyard like a traveler who was visiting friends from afar, but unexpectedly encountered a heavy snowfall.

The wooden house, which seemed a little fragile in the wind and snow, was very simple. Except for an animal skin hammock, there was only a stone stove with a stone pot.

Some leaky walls are rich, covered with millet, dried meat, some dried wild vegetables for seasoning and various dried mushrooms.

The flames in the stone stove are not so prosperous. Some dry wood has turned into a red charcoal fire, illuminating half of the face of the owner of this wooden house.

This is a middle-aged orion.

At least he dressed like this, but compared with ordinary Orion, even in such a shabby room, he looked very clean, even pure.

His clothes are also stained with dust and smoke, but these marks are very new.

Because with his breathing, there is always some peculiar power that pushes the old dust away from him.

Under the firelight, his skin had a lustre of jade, shining with fluorescence.

What he was cooking at this time was a piece of snake soup. The white jade-like snake meat in the light rice porridge was tumbling. At this time, some chopped jade-like dried wild vegetables were just added, and he was holding a wooden spoon. Flip slowly, very patiently.

The aroma and sweetness of a well-cooked soup are softly exuding, just like the warm fire, which can even make people forget the chill for a while.

“Winter Snake Soup, it seems a bit out of season.”

Ye Xinhe raised his eyebrows slightly. He sat down on the floor opposite the middle-aged hunter, baking his own pair of straw sandals, while looking at the pot of snake soup, and said slowly.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged hunter smiled slightly and said: “This is a yellow croaker unique in the mountains of Yuyang County. It used to swallow yellow croaker seedlings when the yellow flowers bloomed in the mountains. It was the most fat, but too fat and greasy. If you are not bored with the essence and really pursue the ultimate taste, in fact, it is the best in winter. The meat is lean and delicate, and the deliciousness is extremely delicious. In addition, the dried vegetable heads that are dried in the autumn until now are a perfect match. The entire swallow state is There will be no more delicious soup.”

“The spring thunder resurrects all things, and the yellow snake is easy to catch when it exits the hole. Although you think the yellow snake is too fat at that time, it is easier to catch than when the mountain is covered by heavy snow. At this time, the winter is cold, it chooses a hole and falls down. Even a cultivator is hard to find. It takes a lot of effort to get this pot of soup, and it seems a bit out of place.” Ye Xinhe also smiled faintly, and said.

Hearing these words, the middle-aged Orion smiled more deeply and shook his head: “Although I am the strongest Master Yan in the Yuyang area, I have lived in seclusion for many years. For you, I am contending for supremacy in the world, but For me, despite the changes in your dynasty, it is not as good as my current pot of soup. However, you still come from afar, afraid that I will make it. Even if you see me cooking the soup patiently here, you still have the intent to kill. Somewhat out of season.”

“It’s not my race, it’s a different kind.” Ye Xinhe’s expression is still gentle, but he speaks bluntly, “After all, I don’t feel relieved.”

“When you came, you slowed down the snow trail in the mountain and watched the traces of my stay in this mountain. The confidence and momentum became more perfect in this courtyard. It must be that you have absolute confidence in killing me. If I were not used by you, you would It’s a pity to kill me. It’s still out of place.” The middle-aged hunter put down the wooden spoon, took out a few charcoal fires from the stone stove, placed them in a black stone basin next to him, and then looked directly at Ye Xinhe. Smiled and said: “Because this snake soup is not for my sole use, but it is specially used to entertain a guest from afar. In addition to this snake soup, there is also a dish of grilled fish, and the fish used is cold lake white water fish. The fish fetcher has been here waiting for you for many days. He is here, you can’t kill me when you come.”

Ye Xinhe’s complexion remained unchanged, but his brows furrowed deeply.

He stopped talking, and at this moment he had already sensed the arrival of a breath, a breath he was somewhat familiar with.

He knew who the person was, and his body was a little shaken, a little nervous, a little frightened, but a little excited and a little expectant.

The sound of snow treading outside the courtyard sounded again.

The lake is far away from here, but Ding Ning has already arrived.

When he pushed the door and was illuminated by the fire, the big fish in his hand hadn’t died yet, but the surface was slightly frosted, the fish’s body was frozen a bit stiff, but the fish’s tail was still swinging.

Ye Xinhe looked at Ding Ning who walked in and was silent.

Ding Ning did not speak to him immediately, but handed the fish to the middle-aged hunter.

“Just right.”

The middle-aged hunter was very satisfied. He smiled like a spring full of peach blossoms. He took a stone knife and cut open the belly of the fish. He only cleaned the internal organs without washing the blood and removing the scales. He just stuffed the fish with some dried meat and Dried mushrooms, several seasoned weeds, are grilled over charcoal fire.

The body of the fish sizzled, oil and water gradually seeped out from the scales, and the scales became golden, soaked in oil, and looked strangely beautiful.

“Snake soup is just right, just drink a bowl of fish, and then another bowl of snake soup, there will be no better taste and satisfaction.” The middle-aged hunter smiled at Ding Ning and Ye Xinhe.

“Drink a bowl?”

Ding Ning took the first bowl of snake soup scooped out by the middle-aged Orion and asked Ye Xinhe.

Ye Xinhe’s complexion remained as usual. He took the second bowl of snake soup scooped out by the middle-aged hunter, drank slowly, and ate up the snake segments. Then he looked at Ding Ning and said, “You should have known that I am from Jiaodong County? ”

Ding Ning nodded and said calmly: “I invite you to drink this bowl of snake soup, not only for the friendship you have had in the past, but also to ask you, although you are from Jiaodong County, you must hide in the dark and cannot be with Zheng. Xiu enjoys the aura of Jiaodong County and the status that she has afterwards, but for this you have betrayed many people who see you as a true friend. Why?”

The middle-aged Orion also narrowed his smile and said, “I don’t understand it, so I agree that he will invite you to eat this bowl of snake soup.”

Ye Xinhe put down the bowl in his hand, raised his head slightly, as if thinking.
