Lights on the other side

Li Ruoci sat quietly for a long time, but he didn't wait for a fish to be hooked. Fortunately, he had a lot of patience.

The sun here is warm, and the stones are warmed by the sun.He glanced at Pei Shi next to him, who was leaning on a stone with his eyes closed.

"Pei Shi, Pei Shi."

Li Ruoci tried calling twice, but found that Pei Shi did not respond.

Shouldn't he be asleep?

Just thinking about it, the water suddenly moved, and Li Ruoci hurriedly pulled it up. It was a small crucian carp.He untied the fish and put it aside, got up and walked over to push Pei Shi.

"Don't sleep."

Pei Shi barely opened his eyes, and saw a shadow hanging from above.

"How long have you been sleeping? Has the bait been eaten by the fish?"

Hearing this, Pei Shi quickly got up, as if he just remembered what they were doing here.

"How is it? Do you still want to eat fish tonight?"

"Of course I want to eat."

Pei Shi put down his fishing rod, walked to the edge of the stream, took a handful of stream water and washed his face, suddenly he said, "Li Ruoci, come here, what do you see here?"

"What's there?" Li Ruoci walked over without knowing why.

As soon as he reached the water's edge, Pei Shi suddenly got up and poured the water in his hand.

Li Ruoci couldn't react in time, and his body was covered with water.He laughed and said, "Pei Shi, what should I say about you?"

"Say you like me."

Pei Shi laughed, his eyebrows were very pleasing.

"..."

Li Ruoci ignored him and went to the side to pick up the fishing rod quietly.Pei Shi took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and jumped into the stream.Li Ruoci was unprepared, and was splashed in the face by the stream again.He almost picked up the fishing rod immediately and hit the perpetrator on the head.

"what are you doing?"

"Catch fish."

Pei Shi bent down and stirred the water twice, the stream was clear to the bottom, and the silver fish swam around in it, dexterously swimming away from his hand.

"Children can't sit still, so I often came to the river to catch fish when I was young."

"Then grab two and let me see."

After Pei Shi made such a fuss, the fish were basically scared away. Li Ruoci simply stopped fishing, and propped his head on his hands, looking at the man in the stream without blinking.After working for a long time, Pei Shi finally caught two fish from the water.He walked ashore and complained, "Back pain."

Li Ruoci put away the fishing rod and said, "You take the fish, and I will carry you back."

Pei Shi hurriedly said, "I'm just joking."

The two went back to the town and bought some onion, ginger, garlic, chili and star anise from the street.When he got home, Pei Shi killed the fish with two or three blows, and then began to scrape the scales with a knife.Accidentally, the fish fell out of his hand.

"It's slippery."

He cut open the belly of the fish to get the internal organs.

"bloody."

Li Ruoci peeled the onion and garlic beside him, watching Pei Guangguang handle the fish for a long time.

"Okay, are you ready? Give it to me when you're done." He took the fish from Pei Shi, turned around and threw it into the pot.

With a sound of "嗞", a puff of white smoke came out of the pot, and Li Ruoci immediately took a step back.

Pei Shi asked behind him, "Is that so?"

Li Ruoci was also a little uncertain, and said, "Yes...isn't it."

He didn't go forward until the sound of the pot stopped, and started frying the fish with a shovel. Seeing that it was going to be mushy, he hurriedly said, "Pei Shi, put in the water."

Then, Pei Shi's half bucket of water poured down.

Li Ruoci wiped the water from his face and said, "Pei Shi, did you do it on purpose?"

"No, I just... didn't control it well for a while."

"Row."

Li Ruoci took the onion, ginger, garlic and chili peppers that had already been chopped and put them in.Pei Shi held the salt shaker, hesitatingly asked, "How much?"

"Let's put three spoons, one spoon for each."

"you sure?"

"It should be about the same."

After the salt was put in, Li Ruoci covered the pot, and then added dry wood to it from time to time to keep the fire burning.After half an hour, he uncovered the pot, and there was half a pot of fish soup inside.

Seeing him, Pei Shi asked, "Is this stewed fish? Is there too much soup?"

"Is there a lot? Just scoop out some." Li Ruoci said, and brought a spoon.

Pei Shi quickly stopped him and said, "That's it."

Just as she was talking, Li Mo'er came in from the outside, raised her hands, and said, "What are you doing? I bought you rice in bamboo tubes."

She caught a glimpse of something in the pot and asked, "What is this?"

Pei Shi said, "Fish."

Li Mo'er was stunned for a moment, and said, "Wow."

"Sister Man'er, do you want to stay and eat?"

Seeing that the two of them seem to be sincerely keeping her here, Li Mo'er said, "Okay...Okay."

The fish was served in a large thick porcelain bowl, and the three of them sat down and set down their chopsticks at the same time.

Li Ruoci said: "The taste is not bad."

Pei Shi was silent for a while, and said, "That's right."

Li Mo'er raised her head in disbelief, thinking: Are the two of you really okay with your sense of taste?

Pei Shi took a piece of fish for Li Mo'er, and said, "Eat more, Miss Mo'er."

Li Mo'er showed a hypocritical smile and said, "You too."

The two pushed each other, Li Ruoci listened silently, and finished half a bowl of fish by himself.

"Okay, I'm done eating, Mr. Pei and Miss Li, you continue to eat."

Before leaving, Li Ruoci patted Pei Shi's shoulder and said, "The ones left to wash the dishes."

The next day, the two sat in a tea house in the town, drinking tea cup after cup, listening to the storyteller on stage.

When the pot was about to run out, Pei Shi received a spiritual letter.Xie Yun's voice came from inside.

"Xie Yun?"

"Pei Shi, something happened. I found a letter in the meditation hall yesterday."

"What letter?"

"Xu Wan's letter to Mr. Li."

Li Ruoci's breathing stagnates.

Pei Shi's complexion also began to turn bad, and he said, "How does Xu Wan know that he is in Wuxitian?"

"do not know."

Li Ruoci didn't care about these things, and asked, "What did the letter say?"

"The letter said... Yun Liujin was with them, and asked Mr. Li to exchange the Guili sword within five days. Here... there is still a piece of bloody little finger bone."

Hearing this, the cup in Li Ruoci's hand was immediately crushed by him.

He suddenly got up and walked outside.

Pei Shi hurriedly followed: "Li Ruoci, what do you want to do?"

"Go get the sword and kill Xu Wan by the way."

"Are you really going to make an exchange?"

"Whether to exchange or not, we have to see the person."

"Calm down first, there are too many unexplainable things about this matter."

"Yes."

Li Ruoci took a breath, went to find Li Mo'er together with Pei Shi, and explained the whole story.

Hearing this, Li Mo'er didn't speak for a long time, she calmed down a little, and then said: "I'll take the sword to grab Ye Tian."

Li Ruoci said to Li Mo'er: "I'll go, the letter said it was me, besides Yun Liujin has saved me time and time again, no matter what form I will bring him back."

Pei Shi said: "I'll be with you, but we still have to make preparations in advance, just in case something unexpected happens."

Li Mo'er felt a little uneasy between her brows: "Since they know about Gui Li Jian, I don't know if they also know about the existence of spirit veins."
