Chapter 436 The more I listen, the more addicted I become
This old man is quite self-aware!
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it in her heart but didn't say it out loud. However, she was still worried about the old man for the time being, so she set up a barbecue grill for him outside the formation and got some roasted meat for him.
In addition to the meat, I also gave him some chicken soup and a bowl of rice.
"And there's rice. I can't remember how long it has been since I last had rice. In the mountains, there are only prey and fish. What's more important is that my cooking is so unpalatable." Lao Ting's face was full of smiles, and he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"It smells so good. It smells so good." He smacked his lips.
"How about I teach you how to cook in the next two days, and have someone bring some rice in for you.
It doesn't matter what you eat if it's not cold, but once it gets cold, if you don't eat rice, you'll get hungry quickly. "Gu Xiaoxi saw that the old man's meal tasted better than any delicacies from land and sea. I wonder how many years he has been here?
After listening to this, Lao Ting shook his head and said, "No, I've tried, but I'm too dumb to learn. I've lived here for over ten years, and I only know how to make chicken in a kiln, and I'm not very good at grilling fish."
Gu Xiaoxi...
Forget it, it’s useless to say anything.
She called Ye Lixuan over and asked him to talk to the old man.
After chatting for a while, everyone started chatting.
After eating and drinking, the old man sat cross-legged under a tree outside the formation and fell asleep.
Gu Xiaoxi and the others returned to the formation. The old man was too powerful, so they couldn't sleep too deeply. Ye Lixuan arranged his men to take turns on duty.
The night passed peacefully.
After dawn the next day, Gu Xiaoxi asked a few people to stay behind while the others went to the woods to hunt, while she stayed with the old man.
As long as the old man doesn't mess around, it doesn't matter how the children play.
"How about I stay too?" Ye Lixuan said worriedly.
"No need, you go. If I get tired, I have robots. There are many dangers in the valley, and the children need someone to protect them." Gu Xiaoxi was worried about the children.
Even Dani’s kids are here today, so we must protect them well.
Ye Lixuan looked at the children and finally had no choice but to agree.
Lao Ting also got up. After hearing the two talking, he stretched and said, "Who do you think I am? I never bully the weak. If I really wanted to be mean, I wouldn't have attacked you in the first place."
Ye Lixuan and Gu Xiaoxi looked at each other and felt that it seemed to be the case.
Last night I kept hearing that if any child was taken away, they would be tied up.
"Okay, if you want to go hunting, please go early. Don't go at night. There are many big animals in this valley." He looked towards the river, thought for a moment and said, "Girl, you said last night that you would grill fish for me. Come on, I'll catch some fish for you."
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi agreed readily.
After walking for a while, they cut a lot of thin vines on the roadside. When they reached the river, Lao Ting went fishing, and she sat beside him and weaved the vines into a net.
After weaving it, I dug some aphids by the river, hung them in the net with barbs, and threw the net into the river.
The river is flowing fast today, making fishing difficult.
But it is different with fishing nets. When the water flows fast, the fish upstream will move downstream. As long as you find a good opening and cast the net, you can naturally catch fish very quickly.
Before Lao Ting caught a fish, Gu Xiaoxi collected the first net.
However, he had his back to this side, so he didn't pay attention to the situation here.
Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to throw the first net of fish into the space fish pond, and started the second and third nets.
When she was fishing for the fourth net, she finally started to shout, "Senior Lao Ting, there's no need to fish anymore. There's enough here."
Lao Ting was so happy that he finally caught a big fish, but when he turned around and saw that it was a whole net full of fish, the big fish in his hand suddenly looked not so pretty anymore.
Gu Xiaoxi was amused by Lao Ting's sudden change in expression. She raised her hand and waved to him.
Woohoo…
Lao Tingda walked up to Gu Xiaoxi with a sullen face, holding the big fish, looking a bit like a child who had done something wrong.
"Okay, whoever catches it will eat it. You sit over there and I'll clean up." Gu Xiaoxi threw the fish in Lao Ting's hand into the fishing net, carried the fishing net on his back and walked to the side, looking for a place with shallow water to stop.
Lao Ting could only follow dejectedly. He suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to be really old and his brain was not as useful as that of young people.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't pay much attention to it. The children also needed to eat when they came back at noon, and it would take time to clean the fish.
After she put the fish down, she called out, "Xianghua, Xiangcao, come over and help me clean up the fish."
Why……
The two maids heard the young lady's cry and went over to help with their things.
With the help of fragrant flowers and herbs, cleaning up is much faster.
After cleaning the fish, they need to be pickled. The pickling task is left to Xianghua Xiangcao. Gu Xiaoxi calls the depressed Lao Ting to go to the woods to practice skills.
When Lao Ting heard that this girl was willing to compete with him, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Old child, old child, it turns out that the older you get, the more like a child you become.
When the two of them arrived in the woods, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Alright, let's be happy every day. Don't be unhappy. Let's get started!"
Why……
Lao Ting came to his senses and quickly got into the state.
At noon, Ye Lixuan brought everyone back from the depths of the forest and found where Xianghua and Xiangcao were staying. Hearing that Gu Xiaoxi and Lao Ting were fighting, Ye Lixuan and Yingyi and the others went forward curiously to watch.
"Senior, where did you learn this formation? It's full of loopholes!" Gu Xiaoxi walked around the formation set up by Lao Ting and figured out the tricks inside.
He always listened carefully with his ears perked up, and when he heard the problem, he asked questions like a little kid.
Gu Xiaoxi explained everything to Lao Ting without reservation, and even drew pictures on the ground for him in case he didn't understand.
Uh-huh!
I kept nodding my head as I listened, accepting it humbly, and the more I listened, the more addicted I became.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon, so she said, "Let's stop here for the morning. The children are back for dinner. Let's go, let's go eat."
"I, I want to listen more." Lao Ting felt that there were some things he didn't quite understand.
Gu Xiaoxi said helplessly: "If you want to hear it, I have to eat my fill. I'm hungry, old man!"
After hearing her say this, he had no choice but to give up for the time being. He looked at the sand painting on the ground carefully, but it was a pity that he didn't have paper and pen. It would have been great if he had paper and pen.
Gu Xiaoxi turned around and found Lao Ting still standing there looking at the painting on the ground. She thought the old man was really eager to learn, so she said, "Let's go. After lunch, I'll find paper and pen to draw it for you again."
"Thank you, little girl." Lao Ting laughed and followed happily.
"It's just a piece of cake. Eat fish, eat fish!" Gu Xiaoxi quickened his pace.
The morning's harvest was great. In addition to catching more than a dozen big rabbits, we also shot a bison.
Gu Xiaoxi likes to eat beef, but the oxen used for farming here are not allowed to be eaten. Even the wild buffaloes hunted in the mountains are not dared to be sold by hunters.
"Xiaoxi, separate your favorite beef and dry it in the afternoon so you can take it back later." Ye Lixuan had already started packing the beef as he spoke.
Lao Ting blinked his eyes and thought to himself that this little girl actually liked to eat bison meat. If that was the case, he had a way to let them stay here for a while longer.
