It was afternoon.
Yi Cheng and the others still haven't returned.
Qin Shou sat in front of the chessboard, one hand supporting his chin and the other holding a chess piece, deep in thought.
"You've been considering this move for half an hour."
Song Ningsheng reminded him.
"I know. "
Qin Shou tossed the chess piece up, caught it gently, and let it spin on his fingertips.
"I had almost finished thinking it over, but you suddenly interrupted my train of thought. Please allow me to reconsider."
Song Ningsheng:.........
"Master, the geese are back!"
Just then, a heavenly sound rang out, startling Qin Beast from his deep thoughts.
"Cough, cough..."
Qin Shou coughed violently.
"oh oh. "
Upon receiving the signal, Yi Cheng immediately dropped her little skateboard and rushed forward with a "whoosh".
Snap!
Song Ningsheng threw away the chess piece in his hand, and with a flick of his sleeve, the chessboard in front of him overturned.
"Oops, I accidentally knocked it over. Let's call it a draw for today."
Song Ningsheng said in a low, sarcastic tone.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he drifted back to his nest.
“........”
This time, Qin Shou was stunned.
Yi Cheng stood there, scratching his head. "Master, does the goose still bump into the chessboard?"
"What do you think?" Qin Shou rolled his eyes.
Ta-da!
Yi Cheng stepped forward, straightened the chessboard, and then stepped back a few paces.
Then "Black Duck" rushed up again, its little belly sticking out, and knocked the chessboard away.
Qin Beast: "Idiot."
Hehe~
Yi Cheng grinned foolishly.
He also asked:
"Master, will the geese have an extra meal tomorrow?"
"add. "
"Roar roar roar~~"
Upon receiving Qin Shou's affirmative response, Yi Cheng roared excitedly.
......
"Is anyone home?"
Just then, a voice came from down the mountain.
"I am an envoy of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, sent by His Majesty to deliver one hundred king crabs..."
Qin Shou activated the mountain-protecting formation, and the man climbed the mountain, bringing not only the king crab that Xiao Xuan had promised Yi Cheng, but also hundreds of carts full of food.
Many of the foods were ones I'd never seen before.
"Wow! So much food!"
Yi Cheng's small eyes widened in surprise.
His mouth gaped open in astonishment.
"Yuanbao, your daddy is so good to you."
Yi Cheng turned to Yuan Bao and said, "Yuan Bao, tell me, was it because Goose and Little Fatty wrote a letter to your dad last time, saying that if he didn't send you some good food, Goose and Little Fatty would beat you up and not give you any food? Did he send it because of that?"
"Well........ "
Yuanbao was momentarily at a loss for words.
The clever little fat boy rolled his eyes and ran to Yi Cheng's side, whispering, "Yi Cheng, how about we write another letter to Si Wu tonight?"
And from now on, how about we write one every year, no, every month?
Yuanbao, who was listening nearby: ..........
“So beautiful.”
Qin Shou called out.
Da Mei scooped a bag of spirit stones from the pool with a "tap tap tap" sound and handed it to the arriving messenger, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
The visitor nodded hastily, but dared not accept the bag of top-grade spirit stones.
"Don't worry, just tell them when you get back that it was your master who gave you travel expenses. No, your Emperor won't say anything."
Da Mei stuffed the spirit stone into it.
"Then thank you very much, little fairy."
The visitor smiled, bowed, and then prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I still need to write a letter to Siwu."
Little Fatty and Yi Cheng trotted into the house, and after scribbling for a while, they came out and handed a letter to the messenger.
"Tell Siwu that his son is still in our hands, and tell him to think twice."
The chubby boy stood with his hands on his hips and said arrogantly.
"Yes, Little Fatty is right."
Yi Cheng, with her large belly and furrowed brows, said fiercely.
At the same time, he whispered to Yuanbao beside him, "Yuanbao, don't worry, the goose isn't really going to hit you. It's just trying to scare your dad."
Yuanbao nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand everything."
"Well........ "
The newcomer was embarrassed, as he was somewhat unsure of the situation.
"Alright, just deliver the letter. Don't worry about anything else."
Qin Shou chuckled.
"yes. "
The person quickly took the envelope and left.
"Master! The geese are having crabs tonight!"
As the person left, Yi Cheng's tense little face immediately relaxed, and she happily hopped around holding up a big crab.
Lift the pot.
Crabs are being brought in.
Add a few jugs of spirit wine.
Qin Shou plans to make some drunken crabs tonight.
...
evening.
Snow is falling outside.
The room was brightly lit by candlelight.
"Dinner's ready, come in and eat!"
Qin Shou shouted at the group of people having a snowball fight in the courtyard.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several small figures rushed in immediately.
Smelling the aroma of the food, he devoured crab legs while recounting the day's events to Qin Shou.
"Come on, Yunyan, eat more too."
Qin Shou handed a plate of peeled crab leg meat to Luo Yunyan.
Luo Yunyan obediently nodded and accepted the chopsticks, then picked them up and began to eat in small bites.
Watching everyone start eating, Qin Shou also cut off a piece of crab leg meat and slowly savored it with his homemade yellow wine.
Qin Beast has eaten king crab, referring not to this life, but to its first life.
But even though I've eaten it, hundreds of years have passed, and I've long forgotten the taste.
However, it is undeniable that the king crabs we ate in the past could not compare to the king crabs of today, which live in this fantastical world where they can fly and escape into the sky.
Just kidding, they're thousands of times different in size.
More importantly, Qin Shou is now eating culinary skills at the level of a master chef.
While crab leg meat is certainly delicious, for crabs, the roe is the real delicacy.
One bite is fresh and sweet.
The aroma of the wine filled the air with the fragrance of two sips.
Three or four sips, and your heart will be intoxicated.
For a beast of this cultivation level, eating food is merely for tasting and satisfying the mortal desires of those with worldly mindsets.
"Smack!"
"Hehe, your way of eating is indeed delicious!"
Master Roshi, with his wealthy physique, ate a bite of crab roe and a sip of Shaoxing wine with utter satisfaction.
"Master, this drunken crab smells so good! It's making my head feel warm and slightly dizzy with happiness."
After eating more than ten kilograms of crab leg meat, a blush began to spread across Yi Cheng's face.
"Burp~, smells good~~"
Little Fatty let out a burp, then leaned back contentedly in his chair, clutching his little belly.
......
After dinner.
The snowflakes outside were falling even harder.
It's as if it's going to cover the entire world.
"When I wake up tomorrow, the Great Wilderness will be a blanket of silver and white."
Qin Shou lay on the rocking chair under the eaves, thinking to himself.
"One, two, two, three........."
A few little ones perched on the railing under the eaves, just like in countless past winters when it snowed, and began to leisurely count the snowflakes.
Seeing this, Qin Shou couldn't help but follow the gaze of the group, counting the snowflakes that fell into the light.
Children find joy in childhood, while he finds it all boring.
"Oh! Dear God, the goose is going to make a wish again."
"I need to cultivate diligently and reach the Void Realm as soon as possible, so I can go out and play sooner, visit my senior sister, have dinner at her house, and also go to the sea to find Little Dragon Girl and catch crabs with her..."
Hmm... the goose also wants to invite Little Dragon Girl to its home to play, and the geese are going skiing together...
That night, Yicheng made many, many wishes to the falling snowflakes.
And time, too, drifted away amidst the resounding rustling of snowflakes.
