Chapter 4 The Place to Stay
Lin Suqing pricked up his ears and focused on distinguishing the sounds, fearing that another beast would suddenly attack.
Those trivial sounds were like something whispering in the distance. They were both small and weak, and were covered up by the crackling sound of flames.
Intuitively, it seems that it is not a hidden danger.
He turned the meat several times over and over again, and the oil splashed, and large drops of oil dripped on the burning charcoal, making a sizzling sound.
The fire was oiled and burned even more vigorously. He was afraid that the fire would be too strong and the meat would be battered. He pulled out a few pieces of firewood and took a few steps to insert the unburned part into the soil to serve as a torch for lighting.
I heard that many wild beasts are afraid of fire, and may also serve as a deterrent.
When the night is vast, the meat roasted by charcoal fire has been roasted to the point where the sauce is fat and delicious, and the fragrance is everywhere. At this time, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and a breeze can convey the aroma of the meat for hundreds of miles.
He was afraid that the fragrance would attract uninvited guests, so he didn't care about the hotness. He hurriedly wrapped the roasted meat with layers of lotus leaves, held it in his arms and followed the direction the dog ran away before.
His vision was limited at night, which was more dangerous than during the day, and he did not dare to stay at all.
...
After passing through a bamboo forest, a stone path appeared in front of him. Lin Suqing breathed a sigh of relief and bet that the path should be the road to the mansion of His Highness the Second Crown Prince.
After running through this road, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if something shocked everything from it. Everything was silent, and even mosquitoes dared to fly, and there were no night insects screaming. Only the sound of his own breathing and his heart pounding.
Everything is so quiet that it makes people feel frightened, but it makes people feel extremely stable.
As they walked, a lake appeared in front of them, and several egrets rested beside the shallow water of the reed flowers. They saw Lin Suqing coming carefully and whispered: "I heard that it was him today, and he accidentally stepped on the barrier of His Highness to recall the Wind God King."
"This has never happened in ancient times... I'm afraid it will cause trouble..."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense in front of the palace, aren't you afraid that the Lord Zhui Feng will tear you into a scum?"
The egrets were chatting in a slight manner, but when Lin Suqing approached, they kept silent and pretended to close their eyes and rest. However, Lin Suqing also heard about their conversation just now.
He put the fierce flesh wrapped in lotus leaves into his arms, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. If His Highness the Second Crown Prince refused...
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately shook his head and told himself not to think about it anymore. His mind has been decided, but now the matter is no doubt.
After passing through the bridge corridor on the lake, I walked around several Changlins, and a sacred mansion appeared in front of me. The mansion was very magnificent, more like a palace.
The blue bricks and black tiles, the eaves and corners are raised. The rippling waves of the lake water are reflected on the walls like paintings, dyeing the carved railings and jade-built houses with a damp and cool atmosphere. The bright moonlight from thousands of miles into the courtyard wall, making the entire mansion contain a cold and vicissitudes.
What is surprising is that on the high-hanging plaque, there are three large red gold seal scripts inscribed - the Prince's Mansion. There is no word "2" on it. Could it be the eldest prince's mansion?
But he looked around with the lights. Apart from that, there were no other houses, so he should not be wrong...
Lin Suqing walked to the door with his breath and focused his mind. He was about to raise his hand to hold the door, but the door soaked ink would automatically open. He looked around and saw that there was no one, so he continued to walk inside timidly.
"Lin Suqing!" Ye Jing was as quiet as water, and the dog's voice suddenly appeared, resounding throughout the night sky. Lin Suqing was so scared that he staggered and almost flew out the fierce flesh in his arms.
"You scared me to death!" Somehow, even though Lin Suqing had seen the dog's magical powers in the daytime, he still couldn't be afraid of it.
When he saw it appear, he felt a little moved - finally, he asked me to find it.
The dog sniffed around him, his eyes were stunned, and he said in surprise: "You actually broke the branches of the sapling mulberry to roast the meat?"
With Lin Suqing's face confused, it continued to ask: "Do you know who planted that nanmu tree?"
The appearance of the dog made Lin Suqing eliminate his previous cowardice when he was alone and helpless, and he returned to his usual state. He said in a daze: "It can't be planted by His Highness the Second Prince..."
Gouzi glanced at him, and it was obvious that the answer was wrong. Lin Suqing was waiting for Gouzi to answer, but Gouzi avoided answering and said, "Come with me."
He didn't ask much, just thought it was not very important, and hurriedly followed.
...
After passing through the corridor, they stopped in front of an inner garden on the east side.
The dog raised his claws and signaled Lin Suqing to stop. It ran in gently, and after a moment, it came out, and said to Lin Suqing: "Get in."
When Lin Suqing heard this, he thought that His Highness the Second Crown Prince would be in this garden.
He bowed and held two packs of scattered meat and raised them over his head, and entered the garden respectfully, and presented His Highness to the Second Prince who was sitting at the stone table in the garden: "Your Highness, the scattered meat is baked."
He now asks for the second prince, and dares not speak as recklessly as before.
The second prince took advantage of the faint moonlight and poured a glass of wine, and the breath was as cold as ever. He glanced at the fierce flesh that Lin Suqing was holding, but suddenly there was a flash of surprise in his indifferent eyes.
"Who taught you how to use Qiangsang to make the cooking ingredients?" The tone was still indifferent.
Lin Suqing was stunned at first, and explained: "I don't recognize what kind of tree it is. I just read in the book that the branches of lychee trees are used as roasted ingredients, and the meat they roast will be particularly fragrant. I saw that the tree is a bit similar to the lychee trees... and then broke it." Lin Suqing immediately knelt down: "Your Highness forgives your sins."
"Go out." The second prince said indifferently and did not blame him.
After a moment, Lin Suqing remained motionless and still knelt in the same place. He looked sideways, his eyes shining with a quiet light under the moon, and he said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Lin Suqing immediately kowtowed and leaned on the ground, begging: "I want to learn skills from Your Highness and become an immortal. I will have the opportunity to go home to take care of my mother..." As soon as the word "Mom" was released, he quickly changed his words: "My mother."
The second prince Yu Guang glanced at him, drank the wine in the glass, and said lightly: "If you have nowhere to stay, you can keep you in this mansion for the time being. You can only be a servant, and leave without doing it."
When Lin Suqing heard this, he was impossible to leave. Although he was rejected for study, fortunately the second prince was willing to take him in. The future is long, so you can find an opportunity to mention the matter of cultivation. You might as well stay it first.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Second Prince." Lin Suqing kowtowed, then got up and left the garden.
As soon as he left the threshold, the dog came out and stopped him: "You wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, it ran into the garden. Soon, it ran out with the two packs of ferocious meat that Lin Suqing had just offered.
Lin Suqing saw it running on both legs, for fear that it would fall, so he hurriedly reached out to take it: "This..."
The dog said proudly: "The Lord has given me a reward, let's go there to eat." It seemed as if it expected.
It ran happily towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Lin Suqing hurriedly followed with two packs of ferocious meat.
As soon as he sat down, he heard the dog say, "You are lucky. The Lord never uses a servant. You are the only one."
No wonder there is no patrol or serving in such a magnificent palace.
"Dog..." Lin Suqing was slapped with an oily slap in the face as soon as he started talking.
I heard the dog say angrily: "You are the dog! I am a great master, Zhu Feng!"
Lin Suqing covered her face and wiped the oil stains on it. She suddenly remembered what she heard from the conversation between the egrets just next to the shallow water of the reed flowers...
Is the dog actually the Wind God?
"Sorry, sorry." Thinking of the bravery of Dog when he fought against the ferocious beast in the daytime, Lin Suqing suddenly became a little afraid of it.
In order to avoid being torn into scum by the dog in anger, Lin Suqing apologized sincerely and dared to continue asking: "I saw you and Your Highness are both surprised that I broke the qiongsang and went to barbecue. Is there any reason for this?"
Gouzi was stunned and quickly buried his head and chewed the meat, saying, "No reason, don't ask more questions in the future. Danxueshan is unreasonable. If you don't want to die, just talk less and do more."
After eating the meat in three or five bites, the dog patted his belly and jumped off the stone bench, turned his head and said to Lin Suqing, "There will be a light envoy to guide you, and the Lord has given you a huge room."
The dog is worthy of being called Zhuifeng, and it always disappears in the blink of an eye.
