Chapter 404: Meng Rao Miao Yi
However, Yun Chenglu finally stayed.
On summer nights, cicadas chirp and frogs croak.
Yun Ran, Yun Chenglu, Miao Yi, and Ka Bei brought small wooden stools and sat in the small courtyard behind Shanhai Tower.
The back door of the courtyard was open, and outside was a small alley with few people.
At this time, the back door was open and a gentle breeze blew in.
There was nothing to play with, so Miao Yi asked Kabei to go upstairs and bring back a small and exquisite bamboo cage. In the cage were four big black bugs, each as thick as an adult's thumb and as long as a middle finger.
Four big black insects were entangled with each other in the bamboo cage, twisting and crawling around, giving Yun Ran goosebumps.
Miao Yi, however, had a calm expression on her face. She looked around, stood up, plucked a kind of wild grass with feather-like leaves from the yard, crushed it into juice, and drew a big circle on the ground.
Then she opened the bamboo cage and released the four big black insects inside.
"This thing is too disgusting." Yun Chenglu hugged his arms and rubbed them.
Miao Yi's eyes darkened for a moment, then she smiled brightly again: "Disgusting? These are centipedes, the poisonous insects I'm currently refining."
"Look at them, they are so plump and cute!"
Yun Chenglu looked at the four big black bugs, their smooth bodies covered with wrinkles and dense black hair, and felt a chill in his teeth.
But when he caught a glimpse of the smile on Miao Yi's face, he forced a smile.
He said with a stiff upper lip, "Haha, this bug looks pretty ugly at first glance, but if you look closely...it's actually pretty cute."
"Right," Miao Yi said, "Then Brother Chenglu, pick one."
"……ah?"
Yun Chenglu opened his mouth so wide that a goose egg could fit in it.
Yun Ran was helpless: "Sister Miao Yi, please stop teasing my second brother."
Miao Yi then said, "It's a Gu fight, the same as the cricket fight you guys played."
"Oh..." Yun Chenglu breathed a sigh of relief.
He just wondered why Miao Yi asked him to choose this bug.
But these bugs were really disgusting. He casually pointed at the thickest and strongest one and said, "This one."
"Okay, then Sister Yun and Kabei... Brother will choose one?" Miao Yi said.
Yun Ran and Ka Bei had also picked out the centipedes, so Miao Yi chose the last one left.
As Miao Yi waved the feather grass in front of the insects, the four centipedes immediately started fighting with each other.
Yun Chenglu, who had just said that these centipedes were disgusting, actually became addicted to them and started betting on the insects with Miao Yi.
Yun Ran looked at the two people's excited expressions and shook his head helplessly.
This black centipede is a poisonous insect unique to the southern region. It is not found in Dakang. She had seen it before in the "Geographical Records".
If you are accidentally bitten by this insect, the toxin will slowly enter your body through the wound and erode your blood. Generally, you will die from the poison within ten days to a month.
Only black fern can solve the problem, and black fern is the wild grass with feather-like leaves that Miao Yi found in her backyard just now.
Seeing her sitting alone in a daze, Kabei hesitated for a long time before moving closer: "Miss Yun."
"Hmm?" Yun Ran came back to his senses. "What's wrong?"
"Thank you today." Kabei said.
"Why thank me? I took you in because Sister Miao Yi helped me. It's just a courtesy."
After she finished speaking, Kabei didn't know how to respond.
The two of them were silent for a moment. Ka Bei's face turned a little red, but he still squatted next to Yun Ran and refused to leave.
In the circle on the ground, the centipede chosen by Yun Chenglu had already killed two and was fighting a life-and-death battle with the last centipede.
Yun Ran watched for a while, and seeing that Ka Bei didn't say anything and didn't want to leave, he thought for a moment and asked, "You stayed here to learn cooking skills from me?"
After hearing her words, Kabei's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded, "Yes! I want you to be more like Miss Yun, please... ask for your advice!"
It turned out to be the case. Yun Ran smiled and said, "I can't ask for your advice. The best chef in Da Kang is still Chef Zhu Qi."
"Miss Yun is also very capable." Ka Bei said with certainty and sincere eyes.
"Okay," Yun Ran didn't argue with him about who was more powerful. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask, "Are you and Sister Miao Yi refugees from Dakang? What happened to your Nanlin Kingdom?"
"Nothing serious." Ka Bei said, "I was also a royal chef in the palace of Nanlin Kingdom, but I accidentally offended the King of Nan one time, so I had to flee Nanlin with my sister."
"Oh." Yun Ran could tell that what he said was half true and half false, but Ka Bei didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask again.
Anyway, we will be together for a long time, so there is plenty of time to talk.
The four of them played until very late before going back to sleep. The next morning, after Yun Chenglu finished packing, he led the Feiyun Army back to the capital.
Yun Chenglu and Miao Yi didn't know what kind of relationship they had after fighting with the Gu last night. Before leaving, Miao Yi took out a small bone flute with a red string and put it around Yun Chenglu's neck.
Not long after seeing Yun Chenglu off, the Shanhai Tower, which was always bustling with guests, welcomed another group of people.
It was Ye Jingzhen, who was wearing soft armor and followed by a small team, ready to go.
Yun Ran frowned. She remembered that she had asked Brother Xiao Jing last time if he would leave after some time. Is it so soon?
"slowly!"
Ye Jingzhen dismounted and stepped into the Shanhai Tower in two or three steps.
Yun Ran came out and said, "Brother Xiao Jing, are you leaving?"
Ye Jingzhen nodded: "Last night, we received a message from the northwest border saying that there are bandits causing trouble again. I'm afraid we have to leave a few days early."
Yun Ran pursed her lips and said nothing.
At this time, Miao Yi came down from upstairs and saw Yun Ran standing at the door talking to someone, so she walked over.
"Sister Yun, who is this?"
Yun Ran wanted to say that they were friends, but when he remembered the arranged marriage a few days ago, he swallowed the words back.
Ye Jingzhen frowned as she looked at Miao Yi who was standing beside her.
Noticing his expression, Yun Ran asked, "Brother Xiao Jing, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Jingzhen did not answer, but grabbed her wrist and walked outside.
"Hey, where are you going?" Miao Yi shouted, confused.
Ye Jingzhen said indifferently, "Excuse me for a moment."
Yun Ran was pulled out of Shanhai Tower by him, and the two turned into a sparsely populated alley.
Ye Jingzhen's face looked a little gloomy. He supported himself on the blue brick wall with his hands and pushed Yun Ran against the wall.
"What happened to that girl just now?"
Yun Ran didn't know why he suddenly became so serious, so he told him everything about yesterday's game.
But after hearing her words, Ye Jingzhen's expression turned even uglier: "Do you know who she is? How dare you just pick it up randomly?"
Yun Ran shook his head.
"She is the princess of Nanlin Kingdom, Mengrao Miaoyi."
Yun Ran: ...
However, she soon breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I said that the way she and Kabei get along doesn't seem like brother and sister. It turns out she is a princess."
"I was chatting with Kabei last night, and he said that he fled with Miao Yi because he had offended the King of Nan. It seems that there must be some problems within the royal family of Nanlin Kingdom."
Her analysis was very serious, and Ye Jingzhen had to admit that there was some truth in it.
However, this doesn’t seem to be the focus now!
