Du Heng smiled: "It's too early, this is just the first step, and then we have to tie the rope." Xuan Yu was puzzled: "What do we need to tie the rope for?"
Du Heng smiled slightly: "We need to tie the casing with ropes to make sections of similar length, so that the sausages can be made in sections, which is convenient for drying and eating. Think about it, wouldn't it be inconvenient to dry such a long sausage and eat it?"
Xuan Yu glanced at his intestines and said weakly: "I think... it's quite convenient..."
Du Heng blinked and looked at Xuan Yu: "Then you really have a good appetite." Xuan Yu smiled and said: "I will do whatever you say."
Du Heng took out the yarn and gestured. He thought it was for his own sausage, so it didn't matter if it was longer. He used the yarn to tie a rope around the sausage every half a foot.
After being tied with yarn, a round and plump sausage took shape in front of Xuan Yu.
Du Heng praised Xuan Yu and said, "Xuan Yu, you stuffed the meat in just the right amount. If you stuffed too much meat in, the meat inside would burst the casing when you tied the rope. Look, after I tied the rope, the tightness is just right."
Xuan Yu couldn't help but smile when he was praised: "Really?" Du Heng nodded affirmatively: "Of course, how could this be false?"
Xuan Yu took the thread from Du Heng's hand and said, "Then I'll start from this end."
Du Heng discovered that Xuan Yu had a very strong hands-on ability. As long as he had seen something once, he could do it quite well, even better than Du Heng, the teacher.
After a while, Du Heng and Xuan Yu met in the middle of the sausage. The length of the sausage was not decided by Du Heng and his friends. The middle part of the sausage was only the length of a palm, and it looked short and round.
Du Heng said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao will definitely like this kind of intestines."
Xiaoxiao, who was called, poked her head out from her chair and said, "Chirp?"
Du Heng then realized that Xiaoxiao had been beside him the whole time, but he was so quiet that Du Heng didn't notice him. When Xiaoxiao poked his head out, Du Heng pointed at the sausage in the middle and said, "This cute sausage belongs to Xiaoxiao. Give it to Xiaoxiao when it's done."
Xiaoxiao narrowed his big eyes and laughed. He remembered that the piece of sausage in the middle was his and no one could snatch it from him!
Xuan Yu asked, "Can we put it up there to dry now?" Du Heng shook his head and handed Xuan Yu a thin bamboo stick: "No, there is still an important step to do."
Because what is put in is meat slices, which cannot fill the entire casing like meat fillings, and a lot of air is stuffed in during the process of stuffing meat. There are many white gaps visible on the casing, and what Du Heng needs to do is to pierce the casing above these gaps, so that it is convenient for the sausage to be dried.
Du Heng pointed to the beginning of the intestine and showed it to Xuan Yu: "Look, just pierce the gaps, but be careful not to pierce the intestine." Xuan Yu understood: "I understand."
There was a slight sound of piercing the casing, and Du Heng and Xuan Yu were stabbing vigorously with the small bamboo sticks. Du Heng said happily: "Do you feel relaxed and relieved? If you prick it when you are in a bad mood, I think it can heal a lot."
Xuan Yu, who was pinching his intestines and piercing them carefully, said seriously: "It's okay..."
After the sausages are tied, they can be dried. Xuan Yu walked in front with the wooden basin, and Du Heng and Xiao Xiao lined up behind him. The three of them came to the terrace together, and Du Heng looked up at the sky: "Oh, is it this late? It seems that we should start making lunch."
Xuan Yu said, "Jing Nan and Feng Gui are not here for lunch today, let's just eat something casually." Du Heng looked at Xiao Xiao: "What do you think, Xiao Xiao?" Xiao Xiao: "Chirp."
Du Heng thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's just have something simple to eat at noon today." He had cooked a lot of dishes in his refrigerator, and there was some leftovers from last night, so how about making some fried rice at noon?
Xuan Yu took out the bamboo pole, wiped it clean, and placed it on the wooden racks on both sides. Du Heng hung uniform small wooden hooks on the bamboo pole, so that the sausages could be hung on the small hooks to dry.
Du Heng twisted every six or seven sections of sausage into a rope with the leaves of the dragon grass, and then hung a sausage on a bamboo pole. It was quite spectacular if you looked closely.
Du Heng stood on the terrace and looked at the fumigation room outside the yard. The fumigation room was slowly emitting blue smoke. Du Heng guessed that he would have to go downstairs to add sawdust and cypress branches later.
Xuan Yu was looking through the large wooden barrel that was brought up yesterday: "Du Heng, take a look and see if the meat can be dried." Du Heng walked over to take a look. The formation on the terrace was truly amazing. How long had it been marinated? Yet it was already marinated perfectly!
Du Heng said, "Okay, we can hang them up now." Xuan Yu waved his hand and said, "Leave this to me, you and Xiaoxiao go and have a rest."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu with a half-smile: "I think if I stay with you for a while longer, I'll get lazy."
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng deeply and said, "Not lazy. You are not lazy at all."
The spiritual light in Xuan Yu's hand kept flying out, and the lid of the wooden barrel was opened. The dragon-building grass ropes were automatically strung into the holes left on the bacon, and then hung obediently on the bamboo pole prepared by Xuan Yu.
Du Heng and Xiao Xiao were staring at it intently. Du Heng: “Wow——” Xiao Xiao: “Chi——”
Xuan Yu's old face turned red, but he had to admit that Du Heng's admiring gaze made him feel particularly comfortable!
Xuan Yu was a man who worked quickly and meticulously. He hung up the bacon first, as it did not need to be washed. Du Heng's second batch of bacon was very large, and it was hung on eight bamboo poles. The heavy bacon hung on the bamboo poles pressed the poles into an arc.
The bacon that needed to be washed was also washed with clear water brought by Xuan Yu, and it was still dripping when it was hung on the bamboo pole.
After Xuan Yu's operation, a row of meat was placed on the terrace. Du Heng was very happy: "If this happened in our hometown, we would be the richest family."
What kind of wealthy family can make so much preserved meat? So lucky!
There were still two rows of empty seats near the east side of the terrace. After Xuan Yu cleaned the wooden barrels that were originally placed there and put them in the storage bag, Du Heng saw the clue: "Before you said there was a formation on the terrace and no matter how many things were dried, they couldn't fit. I didn't believe it at first. But now I believe it."
At first glance, the terrace was about the same size as Du Heng's kitchen, and looked like it was only about 50 or 60 square meters at most. But now the bamboo poles with bacon hanging on them stretched out in front of him, and there was still space on the side. Du Heng had seen two rows of space here before, and now it looked like there were still two rows. This was amazing.
Xuan Yu said: "This is the basic space formation. If you are interested, I will teach you."
Du Heng nodded happily: "Okay!"
I hope the formation isn't too difficult, and it won't be like what happened to Du Heng one year when he was listening to advanced math problems. He bent down to pick up a pen, and then he could no longer understand what the teacher was saying.
Xiaoxiao flapped her wings: “Chirp~~” It’s time to have lunch!
Du Heng hugged Xiaoxiao and said to Xuan Yu with a smile: "Let's go downstairs and eat fried rice!"
When Du Heng is alone at home and doesn't feel like cooking, he likes to make fried rice. Whether it's the most basic egg fried rice or the luxurious fried rice with countless ingredients and toppings, Du Heng is good at making them.
Du Heng poured some soybean oil into the hot pan and put a bunch of side dishes in it, such as diced onions, chopped green peppers... whatever he could find, he threw in and fried it.
After stir-frying for a few times, he pushed the side dishes to the side, and a small pool of soybean oil appeared at the bottom of the pot. Du Heng hummed a tune and put four fresh sea duck eggs into the pot. He used duck eggs instead of chicken eggs. Du Heng's fried rice was so casual.
The sea duck eggs he bought from Zhou's shop were almost gone after being consumed for some time. Du Heng said to Xuan Yu, "Xuan Yu, Xuan Yu, let's go to Lingxi Town sometime. The duck eggs at home are almost gone. Let's buy some more this time."
Ever since he and Xiaoxiao were attacked by a monster when they went out of the village to buy things, Du Heng didn't dare to go out alone. But if he took Xuanyu with him, he seemed to have ten times more courage and was not afraid at all.
Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay. The carport should be repaired in the next two days. When the people from Wan Workshop deliver the carport, we will go to the town."
By the way, Du Heng still owes Xuan Yu and Xiao Xiao a lot of spirit stones. He has fallen into a state of not worrying about too many debts and not being bothered by too many lice.
Du Heng hummed as he stirred the duck eggs. The egg yolk and egg white were turned into golden and oily egg flowers when they were boiled in hot oil. When the egg flowers were mixed with the side dishes, the green, white and yellow in the pot suddenly became very beautiful.
Du Heng poured the rice he took out of the refrigerator into the pot. In fact, fried rice tastes good if you use overnight rice. The moisture in the overnight rice evaporates, and each grain is distinct when you eat it. However, Du Heng's refrigerator has a time-stopping function, so whatever rice you put in, you will get the same kind of rice out.
Du Heng didn't think it mattered. Overnight rice had its own advantages, and rice fried from fresh rice wasn't bad either.
After the rice was put into the pot, Du Heng quickly used a spatula to press the rice grains apart. The rice, which had been stubbornly clumping together, immediately made peace with the side dishes after being pressed down by the spatula. Du Heng then began to add seasonings, including salt, a little soy sauce, and a little bit of sugar.
As soon as the seasoning was added to the pot, the aroma of the rice came out. Xiaoxiao jumped onto the stove and stared at Du Heng making fried rice. Du Heng was only particularly imposing when he was cooking. The way he wielded the spatula was even more domineering than when Feng Gui wielded his sword.
After just a few stirs, the fried rice was almost done. At this time, Du Heng sprinkled in some of the spiritual plant shreds that he had previously used to replace chopped green onions and coriander. After adding a handful of green shredded leaves, the rice in the pot became lively as if it had a soul.
Du Heng picked up the big bowl: "It's time to eat~~ By the way, Xuanyu, go to the refrigerator and get some braised meatballs. Take whatever you want to eat." Xuanyu looked at the fried rice and said, "I think I can eat three bowls of rice without vegetables."
Du Heng's eyes narrowed with a smile, but he still went to the refrigerator and took out some braised meatballs: "Although fried rice can be used as a staple food or a side dish, there is already some in the refrigerator, why not take it out and eat it?"
The large white porcelain bowl seemed to be filled with a bowl of beautiful scenery. The white rice was mixed with many side dishes, which looked colorful, beautiful and fragrant.
Xiaoxiao took a deep sniff and trembled in surprise. Then he took a bite and ate it. Suddenly, his big eyes were full of stars: "Chirp!!"
Du Heng scooped a piece of fried rice into his mouth. This time the fried rice was quite successful. It might be because the spiritual rice in the cultivation world is of good quality. No matter how it is cooked, the rice is delicious. The spiritual rice in the bowl is distinct. It tastes salty and delicious at first, but it tastes sweet when you taste it carefully.
I just feel a little dry in the mouth after eating fried rice, so Du Heng slapped his head and said, "I should make a soup!" Just make some egg drop soup or something, which will taste better with rice.
Xuan Yu and Xiao Xiao were shaking their heads, and Xuan Yu said, "No, this is good enough." It would be the same if there was no soup, just drinking plain water.
After Xiaoxiao ate half a bowl of rice, he seemed to remember something and jumped off the table with a mouthful of rice. Du Heng asked in surprise, "Xiaoxiao, what are you going to do?"
Xuan Yu said: "I guess he went to feed Feng Gui."
Du Heng: ...Your uncle was drunk, and you actually fed him?!
Xuan Yu said calmly: "Don't worry about them, it's okay."
As expected, what Xuan Yu said came true. Before Du Heng could take a bite of rice, Xiaoxiao came back humming a tune.
Seeing Xiaoxiao jumping onto the dining table, Du Heng asked, "Xiaoxiao, did you feed your uncle?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, and continued to eat happily.
Du Heng was a little curious: "I... really want to see what Feng Gui looks like now."
Is he sleeping soundly with a mouth full of rice? Ah, I really want to take a look.
Xuan Yu quickly ate a bowl of rice and handed it to Du Heng: "It's delicious, have another bowl."

When dusk fell, Du Heng went to check on his bacon. After half a day of fumigation, the bacon had a ruddy color. I believe that by tomorrow morning, this will be a pot of beautiful and delicious bacon!
Du Heng added sawdust and cypress branches to the stove with satisfaction. He also threw two large grapefruit peels and orange peels on top. If he got up again in the middle of the night to add some ingredients, he would be able to harvest the first pot of bacon tomorrow. Du Heng was looking forward to it.
Feng Gui and Jing Nan didn't show up all day. According to Xuan Yu, Feng Gui was probably drunk all day, and Jing Nan needed a good sleep for a day because he had overdrawn his spiritual energy.
Xiaoxiao was going to sleep with Du Heng and the others today, and Du Heng thought that Xiaoxiao would be considerate enough to accompany Feng Gui. But Xiaoxiao washed up early and climbed onto Du Heng's bed. When Du Heng lifted the quilt, he saw the golden chicks in the quilt.
Du Heng hugged Xiaoxiao and said, "Hey Xiaoxiao, why don't you go accompany your uncle?"
Xuan Yu stood by the bed and watched Du Heng and Xiao Xiao laughing and joking. He said slowly, "They are probably afraid that Feng Gui will wake up and find a mouth full of rice and cause trouble for him."
Xiaoxiao tilted his head and pretended to be dead. Du Heng laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "I have never seen such a funny uncle and nephew."
Before falling asleep, Du Heng said to Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu, I have to get up in the middle of the night to check the fire in the stove. Can you wake me up then?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay, go to sleep."
In the middle of the night, Xuan Yu opened his eyes. Du Heng was sleeping soundly with Xiao Xiao in his arms. He looked at the sky and then turned over and stood up. He could also add cypress branches to watch the fire.
Xuan Yu went downstairs, opened the courtyard door and came to the fumigation room. He opened the feed port of the small house, and there were indeed not many cypress branches and sawdust inside, and there were some flickering sparks inside.
Xuan Yu gathered the unburned materials next to him, sprinkled a layer of sawdust on them, and then pressed a thick layer of cypress branches on them. He sprinkled a handful of orange peels next to the cypress branches, and then closed the door of the small house with satisfaction.
Just as Xuan Yu was about to return to his room, he saw a dark red light in the sky behind the house. The light dyed half of the sky red like blood, and Xuan Yu's face changed. He turned into a stream of light and flew towards Beishan.
Du Heng slept all night until dawn, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Xuan Yu was no longer beside him. Perhaps because he was thinking about his bacon, he woke up very early today, so early that Xiao Xiao was still sleeping soundly.
It was a bright and sunny morning. Du Heng stood in front of the French window and stretched out his body. He walked downstairs humming a little tune: "Today is a good day~~"
When he arrived in front of the fumigation oven, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. His fumigation oven was opened by something, and the bacon that was originally hung inside was pulled to the ground.
If it fell on the ground, it wouldn't matter, at most I could pick it up and wash it. But his bacon was eaten by something, and that thing didn't eat it neatly one by one, but took a bite here and there.
A good piece of bacon was chewed into pits and pits, and only a few pieces were left intact!
Du Heng's face froze. The door of the fumigation furnace was open, but the feed port was tightly closed. Du Heng opened the feed port and looked inside. He saw a layer of cypress branches with orange peels sprinkled on top. Logically, after a night of fumigation, the cypress branches and orange peels should have been burned, but the furnace was cold and there was no temperature at all.
Du Heng took a closer look and saw black, winding traces of liquid seeping out of the soil below the feed inlet, as if it had been extinguished by water during the burning process.
The first batch of bacon he made was ruined by something while he was happily waiting for the result. He didn't even get to eat a single bite!
Du Heng's anger rose up, he picked up two pieces of bacon which were still intact and went to the kitchen. But when he got to the kitchen, he was surprised, he thought he had found the culprit who had ruined his things.
There were eight big rabbits lying on the kitchen floor. How big were these rabbits? Each one was half a person tall. These big rabbits had beautiful fur, and each one was shiny and glossy.
The wine barrel in the kitchen fell to the ground, with the mouth of the barrel facing the kitchen door. Du Heng saw that there was half a barrel of spirit wine yesterday, but it was now empty, with only some lees left inside.
The kitchen was filled with the smell of wine. The eight big rabbits must have been drunk as they all fell to the ground and fell asleep.
The kitchen seemed to have been swept through, and the lid of his pot was opened. Half of the dough he had put in the pot to ferment for making fried dough sticks was gone. Thanks to the powerful formation in the kitchen, Du Heng didn't see the dough all over the floor.
Du Heng closed the kitchen door. He was terrifyingly calm. He picked up a kitchen knife, walked around the big rabbit on the ground and went to his refrigerator. The refrigerator contained his ingredients and cooked meat. He just saw that the refrigerator door was slightly open.
When he opened the refrigerator door, he almost cried. It was gone, all gone.
The two large clean wooden basins that he had fried with great effort a few days ago were knocked over on the shelf. The ground was full of round balls, some of which had been bitten to reveal their slightly whitish interior, and some were crushed.
His boiled braised pork, each piece of which glowed a faint blue light, was also wasted.
There were also the ingredients he had prepared. These ingredients that he had originally intended to use for the New Year were thrown on the ground, scattered all over the place.
The floor was covered with rabbit shit, and there was no automatic cleaning system in the refrigerator. These arrogant rabbits had destroyed his things and left evidence of their crime.
The only things that were not ruined were the ingredients in the frozen area. I don’t know whether the rabbits didn’t touch that area or the ingredients there didn’t attract the rabbits’ attention, but in any case, the small amount of fresh meat frozen there survived.
Du Heng closed the refrigerator door expressionlessly, his hand holding the knife was shaking. Today was not a good day, he was in a bad mood early in the morning, the flames of anger engulfed Du Heng, and Du Heng's eyes were red.
At this time, a rabbit at Du Heng's feet moved its nose as if it was waking up. Du Heng squatted down, lifted its ears, and then raised his knife.
Xiaoxiao leaned against the south window with a terrified look on her face: "Chiu——"
Blood was splattered in the kitchen as Du Heng started killing people.
Feng Gui was dreaming, in his dream he was swimming in a sea of fine wine. Suddenly Xiao Xiao rushed in, shouting in fear: "Chiu!!!"
Xiaoxiao flapped her wings towards Fenggui's face: "Chirp!"
Feng Gui woke up immediately and sat up suddenly: "What?! Black beast?!"
Du Heng poured himself a cup of tea with shaking hands. It was the first time for him to kill such a big rabbit, so he was not as skilled as Xuan Yu and the others. The kitchen floor was originally splattered with blood, but the formation drained all the blood. There were only eight huge rabbit corpses left on the ground, and a big head rolled down next to each dead rabbit.
When Feng Gui knocked on the door, Du Heng's legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand up. Feng Gui's anxious voice came: "Du Heng, Du Heng, are you okay?"
Du Heng wanted to speak, but he was shaking so hard that he couldn't speak. He really wanted to tell Feng Gui that he was fine.
At this moment, a flash of light suddenly kicked the door open, and Xuan Yu broke in. Xuan Yu's face turned pale, he looked at Du Heng, then at the dead rabbit on the ground, then stepped forward and hugged Du Heng: "I'm sorry, I was careless."
Du Heng didn't want to cry, but when he saw Xuan Yu's face, he couldn't hold back his emotions. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and Du Heng choked up, "The bacon is bad... the meatballs are ruined... everything in the refrigerator is ruined... I didn't want this to happen, but I was too angry."
Feng Gui opened the refrigerator and took a look. He said to Xiao Xiao, "Go wake up Jing Nan."
Xiaoxiao ran out of the door, and soon Jingnan came in with disheveled hair: "Did the blackmail beast enter?"
Du Heng burst into tears: "And the batter... the batter for making fried dough sticks is also ruined..."
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng tightly: "I'm glad you're okay. It's my fault. I should have been more careful."
Jing Nan was shocked when he saw the dead rabbits on the ground: "Oh my, so many beasts?! They haven't come to the village for hundreds of years, right? Xuanyu, have you caught them?"
Feng Gui shook his head: "Du Heng killed him."
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng, then at the rabbits on the ground: "Not bad, Du Heng, no one has ever been able to catch a black beast from ancient times to now, and you killed eight of them in one go. You have a bright future!"
Du Heng was feeling sorry for his dishes. He was heartbroken: "The New Year is coming soon, and they have ruined a lot of my things."
He really wanted to stay in the village. He liked this village, but these rabbits slapped him in the face.
What they destroyed was not only the dishes Du Heng cooked, but also his confidence and sense of security.
Xuan Yu's arms were wet. Du Heng cried so hard that Xuan Yu didn't know how to comfort him. He could only blame himself: "It's all my fault. Yesterday I saw something unusual in the Beishan barrier. I thought there was a monster attacking the barrier, so I went to check it out. But I forgot that monsters can also use this method."
Jing Nan opened the refrigerator and took a look. He immediately understood why Du Heng was crying so miserably: "This... is too much."
Seeing that Du Heng's food was wasted like this, it's no wonder that the good-tempered Du Heng picked up a knife.
60
Xuan Yu's consciousness spread into the refrigerator, and his expression became even more guilty: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Du Heng shook his head: "It's none of your business..."
What did Xuan Yu do wrong? In order to let him sleep well, Xuan Yu got up in the middle of the night to help him add cypress branches in the fumigation room. Blame it on these cheating beasts. They should eat well, but they eat and waste at the same time. Du Heng's heart is bleeding.
Du Heng rarely killed living things, but today he chopped off the heads of eight big rabbits at once, and his clothes were now stained with blood. He took a long time to calm himself down.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng's red eyes and said, "Go wash up first, we'll clean up the kitchen."
Du Heng wanted to clean up by himself, but Feng Gui and the others asked him to wash up first. He looked at the blood on the back of his hand, hesitated for a while, and then walked to the bathroom.
Feng Gui said to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, go and accompany Du Heng."
Xiaoxiao flapped his wings and followed Du Heng away. The remaining three big monsters stood in the kitchen and looked at each other.
The false beasts were dead as hell. No matter how eloquent they were and how many tricks they used, they were now cold corpses on the ground. Xuan Yu took out a storage bag and put all the corpses of the false beasts in it.
Jing Nan frowned and said, "This thing is lost, why are you keeping it?"
Xuan Yu said slowly, "We can't throw it away. From what I know about Du Heng, he will definitely think of a way to make a dish out of the corpse of the evil beast when he comes to his senses."
Feng Gui stood at the door of the refrigerator and snapped his fingers. The meatballs and vegetables on the ground disappeared, and the refrigerator became clean and fresh. Feng Gui sighed: "The three of us didn't even notice that the evil beast was roaming in the village."
Jing Nan shoveled the batter out of the pot and said, "You have all seen the methods of the blackmailing beasts. In previous years, when they appeared in the village, no formation could stop them."
In ancient times, there was a magical monster that looked like a cute big rabbit. But this rabbit didn't like to eat grass. What it loved to do most was drink, eat meat and cheat people. And they specifically cheated the big guys in the world of cultivation.
Legend has it that the Nine-Headed Xiangliu had two fangs tricked out of him by this guy. After taking the fangs, this guy threw them away at random, causing a large area of land to be polluted by the poisonous gas in the fangs.
They enjoy deceiving people because they look cute, and many people even think they are harmless when they first see them. But the big guys in Yikeshu Village have all been deceived.
For example, Feng Gui was once cheated into giving her a phoenix feather. Later, when she was traveling, she saw his shining phoenix feather at the entrance of the village. She was so angry that she didn't speak for half a month.
For example, Xuan Yu, his spirit sword was cheated away by someone, but Xuan Yu was not as lucky as Feng Gui, and the whereabouts of his spirit sword is still unknown.
Another example is Jing Nan. Jing Nan was deceived into giving away a bottle of elixir. The extortion beasts ate the elixir, smashed the jade bottle and threw it at the door of Jing Nan's house. Jing Nan was so angry that he almost exploded.
The last time the evil beasts appeared in the village was hundreds of years ago. When the villagers were on high alert, the evil beasts did not appear. But when they relaxed their vigilance, they came out in full force.
There is a reason why the evil beasts can deceive so many big guys and still run rampant in the demon world. This group of demon beasts is deeply favored by the heaven, and no formation or barrier can stop them. The cultivators in the demon world have no way to deal with them, but they didn't expect that the evil beast army would encounter a devastating disaster here in Du Heng today.
When Du Heng came out after cleaning up, the kitchen was already clean. Even the fumigation furnace outside was cleaned up, and the meatballs and braised meat that were destroyed by the beast were picked up by Feng Gui and his friends. The kitchen was so clean that it looked like it had never been used. Looking at the empty kitchen, Du Heng's nose was sore and tears welled up in his eyes again.
Who could understand the feeling of working so hard for half a month and then being back to square one? There were only ten days left before the Chinese New Year, and everything he had prepared was ruined. He had already lost the confidence to start over again.
Jing Nan looked at the sky and smiled: "It's still quite early, how about we go to Lingxi Town for a walk?"
Feng Gui quickly replied, "I heard that Yunyan Tower has new dishes. We have been eating Du Heng's dishes for so long, but we haven't asked Du Heng to taste the cooking skills of our demon world chefs?"
Xuan Yu said to Du Heng slowly, "Let's go out for a walk, shall we? Let's relax. Don't be busy today."
Even Xiaoxiao rubbed Du Heng's legs sensibly, as if persuading Du Heng: Let's go out, let's go for a walk~
Looking at everyone trying hard to cheer him up, Du Heng nodded: "Yeah."
The cow was harnessed to the carport again, and it walked slowly to the door of Xuanyu's house, then stood obediently at the door and wagged its tail. When Du Heng got on the car, the cow seemed to know what Du Heng had encountered, and it turned its head and rubbed Du Heng. Du Heng touched the cow's head and felt much better.
When he climbed onto the cart, he found that the furnishings inside had changed again. This time, the cart shed was antique, and every corner was imbued with a low-key and luxurious charm. Just look at the row of jade carvings on the antique shelf. Which one of them would not be a priceless treasure?
Feng Gui and the others quickly climbed onto the ox cart. Feng Gui said, "Why are you standing? Just sit anywhere."
Jing Nan had already sat at the table in the hall like a boneless person. He took out a set of white mahjong from his storage bag and said, "We still have half an hour to get to Lingxi Town. Do you want to play cards?"
Feng Gui and Jing Nan sat at the table and called Du Heng: "Come on, play cards!"
Du Heng was a little reserved at first, but when he came to his senses, he was already sitting at the same table with Xuan Yu.
Du Heng looked at the mahjong on the table carefully: "Is this... mahjong?"
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Yes, this is very popular in the world of human cultivation. Do you know how to play it?"
Du Heng was a little embarrassed: "Well... I'm not really good at it."
Xuan Yu said calmly: "It's okay, I'll teach you."
Xiaoxiao climbed up Du Heng's legs with a whoosh, and squatted in Du Heng's arms, looking at the cards on the table with his eyes wide open. Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Du Heng had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
He doesn't know how to play mahjong, and neither does Dad or Mom. But many of the neighbors will sit at the mahjong table day and night. Dad said that building a family is like picking up soil with a needle, and ruining a family is like pushing sand with water. Some people are addicted to the mahjong table and forget their responsibilities and burdens. This is wrong.
Therefore, Du Heng has always had a certain prejudice against playing mahjong, but he knows that it is a national quintessence, and being able to play mahjong well is also a skill. Besides, they are just playing a game on the road, and it does not involve money, so it should be okay, right?
Besides, Du Heng is still a beginner, so everyone should show mercy to him, right?
When the ox cart left the village, the ox mooed loudly. The scenery outside the window quickly moved backwards, and Du Heng was identifying the signs under everyone's guidance.
As a result, when the ox cart arrived at Lingxi Town, Jing Nan and Feng Guizheng looked at Du Heng and Xuan Yu with a smile on their faces: "Yeah, not bad, very suitable."
Du Heng and Xuan Yu looked at each other and saw that their faces were covered with turtles of different sizes. In the end, the loser had no space left to draw turtles.
Du Heng was both angry and amused: "Xuan Yu, aren't you good at playing mahjong?"
Xuan Yu said seriously: "I have played it a few times before."
Jing Nan mercilessly exposed Xuan Yu's true colors: "Yes, we used to draw turtles on Xuan Yu's face, but this year we finally have you, Xuan Yu won't be lonely anymore."
Du Heng: ...Forget it. Let’s not ask him to play cards, which requires extremely high IQ.
Niu'er walked slowly to Lingxi Town. Xiaoxiao had already jumped off Du Heng's legs and rushed to the door.
Jing Nan put away the white jade plaque and said, "Du Heng, don't be polite today. If you like anything, just take it back to the village."
Xuan Yu was wiping the little turtle off Du Heng's face. He said seriously, "Let's go to Zhou's shop first. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to buy duck eggs?"
Feng Gui said domineeringly: "What's so good about the Zhou family shop? It's just a bunch of groceries. We should go to a higher-end place. Let's go to Wan Workshop first."
Du Heng opened the curtain and sat outside the ox cart. As the New Year was approaching, many red lanterns were hung in Lingxi Town, and red silk flowers on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, adding a bit of New Year atmosphere. Du Heng's gloom dissipated a lot, and he hugged Xiaoxiao and looked at both sides of the street attentively.
Xuan Yu asked, "Do you want to come down and take a walk? I see you are very interested in the shops on both sides."
Du Heng blinked: "Is it okay?"
After a while, Xuan Yu walked beside Du Heng holding an umbrella. Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu suspiciously: "When did you ask Jing Nan to borrow the umbrella? Besides, this is not a deep mountain forest, there won't be any monsters. Do you want to put away the umbrella?"
Jing Nan was carrying a basket on his back. He smiled and said, "Why put it away? Xuan Yu looks so good holding an umbrella. Don't you like it, Du Heng?"

Du Heng stood there like a statue. Jing Nan patted Du Heng's shoulder sympathetically and said, "You see, there is a barrier on the ox cart. As long as you don't get off the cart, no one will see your true face. Feng Gui is a famous person in our area. Wherever he passes, there is such scenery."
