While Xiaoxiao was chewing on the crab legs, Du Heng put the second batch of crab legs in. The water in the pot was already boiling, and Du Heng let the crab bodies and crab joints in the steamer be steamed.
He sat down and ate half of the crab leg carefully. The sweet and fresh crab meat made Du Heng praise it highly: "This is delicious."
Jing Nan said, "Since they are delicious, let's not waste them. I will pick up the other phantom spiders later and put the ones that can be put in the refrigerator first. If there are really no places to put them, I will ask Xiaoyu to make a storage bag for them when he wakes up."
Speaking of storage bags, Du Heng thought of the animals that he had locked up in his cave for a long time without seeing the sun. He slapped his head and asked, "Should I let them out to get some fresh air?"
Jing Nan looked around. The cave under the sea was a little cold. There had been sea beasts living in caves before, but it was crowded and lively at that time. Now that only the three of them were awake, they did feel a little lonely. For example, at this moment, when the three of them spoke, they could hear an echo.
Jing Nan was chewing on the crab meat. He said, "I'll put it in. You can just focus on cooking."
After the simple cave was opened, Ciba rushed out with Nian Nian Sui Sui, followed by the slow-moving Yu beast. Nian Nian Sui Sui and the others trembled in surprise when they saw the big phantom spider on the ground. They gathered in front of a phantom spider and tilted their heads to look left and right, as if they were studying what it was.
Du Heng looked around but didn't see the wonton. He asked in confusion: "Nannan, can you help me check the wonton? Is it stuck?"
Jing Nan looked into the cave with his consciousness and saw Wonton sleeping on the wooden steps in front of the small building. Jing Nan said, "Xiaoyu has been poisoned by the phantom spider, and her other souls have also been affected. Don't worry, when Xiaoyu wakes up, Wonton will wake up too."
Du Heng scratched his head: "By the way, Nan Nan, let me ask you something. How much of Xiaoyu's soul is in Wonton's body?"
Jing Nan thought for a moment and said, "One percent. As a dog, Wonton has one percent of dragon's breath. It can be regarded as a fighting dog among dogs."
Fighting dog...Du Heng burst out laughing.
As we were talking, the crab bodies and crab joints in the steamer were finished. After opening the steamer, the shell of the crab joints was orange-red, and the crab body was pure white. Through the slightly transparent bones of the crab body, you can see the white meat inside.
Steamed crabs can be eaten with vinegar, but Du Heng didn't plan to eat them that way. He shaved the crab meat into a large bowl and then tore it into small pieces.
As he was picking the crab meat, Xiaoxiao stood beside him and stretched out her hands to pinch the crab meat and put it into her mouth. Not only did he eat it himself, he also fed it to Nian Nian Sui Sui and the others. The little beasts had their mouths full of crab meat and were very satisfied.
With such a big crab body, the meat shaved off should be enough to fill two large bowls, but when he had finished shaved off the entire crab body, there was only half a bowl of crab meat in the bowl.
He turned around and saw several little pets tilting their heads and looking at him. Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You guys..."
Fortunately, there were many crabs on the ground, so he planned to steam one and feed it to these little pets.
The crab shells were stewed in the casserole, and the orange-red crab shells rolled in the clear water. Everyone thought that the crab shells would not be able to cook anything, but unexpectedly, after half a cup of tea, the soup became turbid with a layer of oil floating on it.
The bream lowered its head and ate the roasted crab shells. It made a crunching sound and looked very delicious. After eating the crab shells, it walked to the dead phantom spider. When Du Heng and his friends thought the bream was going to eat the phantom spider, it just lowered its head to smell it and then lay down next to the grill.
Du Heng took out a few salted duck eggs from the storage bag: "Niu'er, do you like roasted crab shells?" The bream mooed docilely, and rolled up the two salted duck eggs with its long tongue.
Jing Nan said: "The breams live on shrimps, crabs, shells and other things in the sea. Roasted crab shells may be equivalent to small biscuits in their eyes."
Du Heng thought this was a good idea. In the future, when the shrimp and crab shells were eaten, Niu'er could handle them. He planned to roast a few crab legs for Niu'er. Otherwise, it would be so depressing that others would eat the meat while Niu'er ate the shells.
Du Heng took out a large bowl, cracked five eggs in it, and then beat them into egg liquid. After the egg liquid was beaten, Du Heng placed the crab shell in the steamer and fixed it.
Xiaoxiao stretched her neck again: "Du Hengheng, what are you doing?" Du Heng said: "Steamed eggs with crab meat. I use the crab shell as a bowl."
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "I like steamed eggs." Every time Du Heng made egg custard, Xiaoxiao would eat two more bowls of rice. Xiaoxiao looked at the stove, and he saw a large bowl of salt water that had been prepared in advance. He liked to watch Du Heng pour the salt water into the egg liquid.
Jing Nan said, "Aren't there cracks on the crab shell? Aren't you afraid that the egg liquid will run away?" Du Heng was holding a milky white thing in his hand. Jing Nan recognized it at a glance. It was the bone of a phantom spider.
Du Heng said: "I put cartilage near the cracks, so the egg liquid can't escape." Jing Nan gave him a thumbs up: "You are awesome."
Du Heng used his spiritual energy to press the cartilage on the sword marks to cover the gaps, and then he lifted the egg liquid bowl and poured the egg liquid into the crab shell. The egg liquid was shallowly accumulated at the bottom of the crab shell, and it didn't look like much. But when the warm salt water was poured into the egg liquid, the light yellow egg liquid rose to the middle of the crab shell.
Du Heng stirred the egg liquid slightly with chopsticks, then poured the peeled crab meat into the crab shell and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on it.
After stirring it slightly, Du Heng closed the lid of the steamer. At this time, the bottom of the crab shell had slowly changed from blue-black to orange-yellow.
Du Heng said: "Wait for an incense stick and the crab meat steamed egg will be ready."
Xiaoxiao transferred the second batch of roasted crab legs from the grill to the round table. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Du Hengheng, I'll remember it."
The next dish to be cooked was crab roe stewed with tofu. Du Heng had cooked this dish before, using crab roe and roe. The plate was licked clean by Xiaoxiao. He believed that the tofu would be delicious this time as well.
After the oil in the pot was heated, Du Heng put finely shredded ginger and green onion into the pot. After stir-frying them for a while, he poured the crab roe into the pot.
The roe of sea crabs is not like that of river crabs, which will become fixed after preheating. After Du Heng stirred it a little, the crab roe scattered. The pot suddenly turned bright yellow, and the fishy smell of sea crabs wafted out.
After he added the white wine, the fishy smell turned into a delicious taste. At this time, he pushed the white jade-like tofu he had made earlier into the pot. The crab roe was a bit sticky, and it was bubbling next to the tofu.
Normally, Du Heng would definitely add half a spoonful of boiling water. Today, Du Heng had a secret weapon, which was the crab shell water he had boiled before.
After pouring half a spoonful of crab shell water into the pot, the fresh and fragrant taste becomes more intense, and the fragrant glutinous rice cake wants to jump onto the stove to take a look.
The tofu Du Heng used to stew crab roe was old tofu, which became more flavorful the longer it was cooked. He turned the flame on the pot to the lowest and let the tofu cook in the soup.
Xiaoxiao called Du Heng: "Du Hengheng, come and eat the crab legs. I'll blow them cool for you." Du Heng looked at the round table and saw a plate on it. On the plate was a large piece of roasted crab leg meat.
Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Even if Long Jun falls asleep, I can help him take care of you." Du Heng smiled: "Thank you Xiaoxiao~"
Du Heng had just taken a few bites when he heard a noise coming from the car. Turning around, he saw Feng Gui rubbing his head with one hand and lifting the curtain with the other: "Ah, my head..."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "How do you feel?" Feng Gui frowned and said, "It feels like I was punched ten times by Xiao Yu."
Jing Nan stepped forward and supported Feng Gui: "That's really incredible, come and take a rest."
Feng Gui sniffed the air and asked, "What are we going to eat?" When he saw the crab legs on the grill, he was furious. "Qing Heng, don't you have anything else to eat? You ate the phantom spider too! What if you get poisoned?!"
After Feng Gui tasted the crab legs, Feng Daxianer was silent. After a while, he took the initiative to put the crab legs on the grill and grilled them: "Not bad."
Jing Nan said: "Who would have thought that Du Heng's wood spirit root is a magic weapon to restrain the venom of the phantom spider?" If he had known it earlier, Chonghua would not have felt like a starfish with a horn missing.
Not long after Feng Gui woke up, the generals also woke up. Everyone sat listlessly at the table. At this time, the crab roe tofu and crab meat steamed eggs in the pot were ready.
Du Heng placed the two dishes on the table: "Try them quickly."
Chonghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is good. The phantom spider poisoned us so much that we were dizzy and Du Heng avenged us." As he said that, he scooped a spoonful of steamed egg with crab meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Du Heng's steamed eggs are always delicious. He likes to put a lot of chopped green onions in them. He often puts the steamed eggs on top when cooking, and when the rice is cooked, the steamed eggs are also ready. At that time, the chopped green onions are no longer green but slightly yellow. Although it doesn't look good, it tastes great.
Now the steamed egg is added with fresh and sweet crab meat, and the crab shell is used to store the egg liquid. The egg liquid is mixed with the fresh fragrance of seafood, and it makes you feel comfortable after eating it. Chonghua feels that his resentment has faded: "This is delicious!"
Yun Zheng was more reserved. He scooped up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and tasted it. There were some holes in the tofu. After he opened it, the juice with the fresh taste of crab roe slowly flowed out. He took a sip, and the tofu mixed with crab roe flowed into his stomach. Every cell in his body was clamoring: Another bite!
These two dishes successfully appeased the generals' grievances, and they praised them unanimously: "I didn't expect the phantom spider to taste so good."
Xiaoxiao said to the generals, "I know how to roast crab legs. Du Hengheng taught me. Can I roast them for everyone to eat?" When Feng Gui heard that Xiaoxiao wanted to make roast crab legs, he turned and looked at him.
Du Heng originally thought that Feng Gui would express his objection, but Feng Gui just nodded slightly: "Okay."
Du Heng smiled with relief. Ever since Xiaoxiao transformed, Feng Gui has become more tolerant of Xiaoxiao.
Watching Xiaoxiao happily grilling crab legs, Du Heng thought of Xiaoyu who hadn't gotten up yet. He said to everyone, "You guys eat first, I'll go check on Xiaoyu."
Xuan Yu was still lying on the brocade steps in the hall, but he was awake now. His eyes were a little confused, maybe because the poison was too strong, Xuan Yu's true face was revealed. When Du Heng approached him, Xuan Yu's blue eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
Xuan Yu was usually calm and reserved. He was steady and reliable. Du Heng rarely saw him vulnerable. Seeing Xuan Yu like this, Du Heng's heart softened.
He called softly, "Xiaoyu, how do you feel?"
Xuan Yu turned his head and looked at Du Heng. The mist in his eyes gradually dissipated. Du Heng saw his own reflection in his eyes.
There were two little selves in Xuan Yu's eyes, and he looked at himself so intently that Du Heng felt a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, Du Heng's sleeve was grabbed by Xuan Yu, and Xuan Yu opened his mouth: "Qing Heng..."
Du Heng responded, "Yes, I'm here." Xuan Yu rubbed Du Heng's sleeve in dependence, "Don't leave."
Du Heng sat on the bed and hugged Xuan Yu's head. He said to Xuan Yu firmly, "I won't leave. As long as you stay here, I won't go anywhere."

Xuan Yu was confused for two days before he recovered. During these two days, the generals had a great time eating the phantom spider in the cave. While Xuan Yu, lying on the brocade step, had light porridge and small dishes for two days.
The Jerusalem artichoke pickles I made at Shenxu Palace are ready. They taste slightly sweet and crisp, and go well with the porridge to warm your heart and stomach. It's not like I'm treating Xuanyu unfairly.
Jing Nan couldn't understand why: "Even a loser like Mao Buyan woke up, why is Xiaoyu so affected?"
The cat that was named changed back to its original form and tried to minimize its presence: "Gugu meow..."
Xuan Yu said: "The more times you are poisoned by the phantom spider, the harder it is to cure. I have been poisoned before, and more than once, so it will take longer to cure this time."
When Xuan Yu said this, Jing Nan and the others were surprised: "You? You were poisoned several times? Where were you poisoned?"
Xuan Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Here." Everyone was stunned: "Ah?"
Xuan Yu was trapped in a magnetic array before and couldn't get out. He encountered many phantom spiders. The phantom spiders couldn't kill him, and he couldn't kill the phantom spiders either. Here, he woke up to kill the phantom spiders, and then was poisoned and fainted again. He woke up and fainted again. If he hadn't broken through the phantom array and left the magnetic array in the end, it's unknown how long he would have been trapped.
This was the cave where Xuan Yu had stayed before, so he felt so repulsed when he saw the snake-shaped entrance outside the cave.
Now that Xuan Yu is awake, it's time for everyone to get down to business. That is to solve the formation. There must be an eye of the formation where the phantom spider is. However, Jing Nan and his team have been searching for several days but have not found the eye. When it comes to solving the formation, Xuan Yu is still the one to rely on.
After Xuan Yu came out of the frame, he walked back and forth in the cave, leaving marks on the wall. He walked and stopped, and finally stopped in front of the innermost wall. Looking at this wall, Xuan Yu's face was very strange.
Feng Gui asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xuan Yu still looked very strange. He shook his head and said, "I think I found the center of the formation."
After saying this, Xuan Yu slapped the wall with his palm, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the wall. After a loud bang, the wall collapsed, and a light green light shone through the wall.
Everyone finally understood why they couldn't find the center of the formation even after digging three feet deep in the cave. It was because the thickness of the wall was more than three feet! Who would have thought that there was a cave behind the thick wall? Feng Gui couldn't find this place even after releasing his divine sense!
When everyone entered the inner room, they were stunned by a slowly rotating magnificent formation in the middle of the inner room. The formation looked like a series of interlocking rings. After Du Heng counted them, he found that there were thirteen large and small rings on the formation.
The spiritual energy emanating from this formation was extremely familiar. Jing Nan and Feng Gui looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, they both suddenly attacked Xuan Yu with hammers: "Fuck you!"
This familiar spiritual energy fluctuation, if it’s not Xuan Yu’s, then whose is it?! No wonder the two of them couldn’t find the center of the formation, it turned out that it was Xuan Yu who set up the formation!
They were just marveling at Kanglongyuan's ingenious craftsmanship. They wondered which expert had set up such an illusion array that could conceal one's true intentions. It turned out that Xuan Yu was the one who set up the array! He deserved to be beaten!
Xuan Yu felt very aggrieved: "I don't remember. I was poisoned by the phantom spider at that time, and I was in a trance."
It would be weird if Jing Nan and Feng Gui could listen to Xuan Yu's explanation. They pressed Xuan, one tickled his belly, while the other took off Xuan Yu's boots and tickled the soles of his feet.
Xuan Yu begged for mercy: "I was wrong! Stop scratching me!"
Who knew that the great Dragon King was not afraid of pain, but was most afraid of being tickled? He had cheated Jing Nan and Feng Gui too many times in the past. Whenever Jing Nan and the others fought back, Qing Heng would come back and scold them. Over time, the two learned a trick, which was to tickle Xuan Yu.
They even made special equipment for this purpose. Jing Nan used a small brush made of nine-tail hair, which made his lungs tremble with itching when he brushed his belly. Feng Gui used a small shuttlecock made of phoenix feathers, which brushed the soles of his feet, making Xuan Yu unable to escape even if he curled up into a ball.
Xuan Yu's tears burst out, he curled up into a ball and begged: "I really don't remember."
Seeing that Xuan Yu was really upset, Du Heng quickly tried to reconcile him: "Nannan, Xixi, Xiaoyu really doesn't remember, so stop tickling him."
Jing Nan and Feng Gui both decided to stop while they were ahead: "Forget it this time, but if there is a next time, Du Heng won't be able to save you."
The dignified Dragon King was lying on the ground with disheveled clothes, panting, and looked like he had been trampled and ravaged. Zhou Lianhua and the others could not help but look at Xuan Yu, who was usually very majestic. They did not expect that the Dragon King would be bullied by the Fox God and the Phoenix King. I should have recorded it with the recording stone earlier.
After learning that the magic array was set up by Xuan Yu, Feng Gui and the others were relieved. They were not afraid of losing to Xuan Yu. If it was someone else who set up the array, they would be worried again.
Feng Gui and the other three surrounded the formation and analyzed it: "Is this the Heaven-Concealing Formation? Why would you use this formation for no reason?"
Xuan Yu said innocently: "I don't remember."
At this time, Xiaoxiao quietly touched Du Heng's hand: "Du Hengheng, look, there are paintings on the wall."
Du Heng followed Xiaoxiao's instructions and walked towards the wall of the inner room. He saw that there were indeed several portraits painted on the wall. There were not-so-round chickens with bad tempers, slender and lazy little foxes, and tattered thatched cottages. In front of the thatched cottage, there was a person with curved eyebrows and good tempers.
The man had a small snake hanging from his shoulder and he looked like he was scolding the chicken and the fox.
Looking at this picture, Du Heng immediately understood what was going on. This picture depicted Qing Heng and the three little ones' daily life.
At that time, Nan Nan and Xi Xi were both upset that Qing Heng was partial to Xiao Yu, so they would join forces to bully Xiao Yu, and when Qing Heng found out, he would defend Xiao Yu. Then Xi Xi would fly into a rage, and Nan Nan would act like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Xiao Yu would lie on Qing Heng's shoulder and act like a good boy.
Du Heng couldn't help but laugh. This scene was so worth remembering.
In addition, there is a picture of several people huddled under the eaves eating hard dumplings. The dumplings in the picture are so big, bigger than half of Xixi. Qingheng propped up his head and watched the three little ones eating dumplings, his eyes were smiling into two slits.
Du Heng's smile deepened: "How can a dumpling be this big?"
Then he remembered Nan Nan’s sigh every time after eating dumplings. Nan Nan always said: I hope to eat dumplings bigger than a person in the future.
Is Xuan Yu... satisfying Nan Nan in the painting?
The most common person in the following portraits is Qing Heng, with him smiling, frowning, sitting, and lying down. Each portrait is very delicate, allowing Du Heng to recall the past at a glance.
But gradually, Du Heng could no longer understand the contents of the painting. Nan Nan and Xi Xi appeared less frequently in the painting, while Xiao Yu appeared more frequently.
As Xiaoyu grew bigger, he began to cling to Du Heng's body and crawl into his clothes. Du Heng was puzzled because he could not remember Xiaoyu crawling through his clothes on his own initiative.
When he saw a painting of Qingheng with all his clothes taken off and Xuan Yu wrapped around him, his old face turned red.
He understood! No wonder Xuan Yu said he was in a daze and didn't remember anything. Now Du Heng believed it! It is said that the phantom spider can make people lose their minds. Du Heng firmly believes that Xuan Yu, who is sober, will never draw such a spring and palace picture.
Xiaoxiao pointed at the portrait and was about to say something, but Du Heng covered his mouth with his hand: "Shh." Then he raised his hand and picked off the mural on the wall.
The mural was twisted and then Du Heng copied it into the jade. He looked around and checked the surroundings like a thief. After finding that only Xiaoxiao saw it, he made a quiet gesture to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao nodded sensibly, and Du Heng quickly collected the other murals on the wall. When he finished collecting the murals, he found a burning gaze staring at him infatuatedly.
Without looking back, Du Heng knew that the gaze belonged to Xuan Yu. He couldn't imagine how Xuan Yu, who was poisoned by the phantom spider, carved these portraits in the dark cave, and he couldn't imagine what kind of mood he was in to record his infatuation with Qing Heng here.
It’s just Qingheng’s fault for being too stupid, so stupid that he didn’t even notice Xuanyu’s deep affection.
Du Heng also understood why Xuan Yu had set up a formation to conceal the secret. Silly Xiaoyu must have thought that the formation could keep the secret hidden forever, but she didn't expect that thousands of years later, the parties involved came here and uncovered the secret with their own hands.
Du Heng stood beside the wall and turned to look at Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu gave him a complicated smile, which contained some worry, some shame, and some embarrassment. His eyes were full of unbreakable tenderness.
Being remembered and cherished by such a person, Du Heng felt that he had truly saved the world.
Feng Gui and the others said, "Quickly remove the formation, this formation is too cruel. If you set one up in the village and those monsters can reach the village, I will take your surname."
Xuan Yu said seriously: "Xuan Gui doesn't sound good."
Feng Gui raised his foot and kicked: "Get lost!"
Jing Nan put his hands in his pockets and said, "Alright, stop messing around. Let's quickly solve this formation. We still have to get out of Kanglongyuan."
Xuan Yu stood in front of the formation, the light of the formation fell on his face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked very happy.
