Chapter 878 Stars in the Sky, Beloved on Earth
After finishing the food, the two smiled at each other, both in a good mood. But Si Nian's heart darkened immediately. Thinking of such a happy day, she had to leave Li Changxiao.
She was grateful for the master's kindness. But she felt guilty and regretful towards Li Changxiao. Based on her understanding of Li Changxiao, once he passed away, he could not be recovered. Li Changxiao might not hate her and not care about the past. But there is always a little difference between before and after.
If she had not left, the two would not be Taoist companions, but husband and wife. Such endless joy and days of harmony of mind would last as long as they lasted. Thinking of this, there is nothing good about the Tao. No matter how good it is... it is not as good as the person in front of you.
What's the point of asking for it.
It's a pity that things in the world are difficult to have both. If she hadn't left at the beginning, how could she know her true heart. Besides…if Li Changxiao had nothing special about him, and his spiritual energy had not dried up, Si Nian would have achieved success in cultivation in the future, knew his true self, and returned to Panlong Sect, and in the end, he would only feel disappointed.
Thinking of this.
Si Nian felt that the current situation was neither the best nor the worst, but just right. Li Changxiao was handsome, and before and after his spiritual energy dried up, he inevitably met a few confidantes. But it seemed that only Si Nian had ever been as close as a Taoist partner.
Each had his own feelings. But they were tacitly indifferent to further progress. After the meal, the two washed the dishes together. At this time, it was dark outside the house, and the stars were shining. Most of the moon's limelight was taken away.
Si Nian was looking for a star in the sky. A lavender star said, "Hey! That's the big carrot star, mine." It turned out that Si Nian was extremely talented, and the Fuyao Holy Land specially rewarded her with seven stars.
She was naturally smart. Others knew that stars were hard to come by, so they always gave them some overbearing, Taoist, and very appropriate names, but she wanted to be simple. So there were endless strange names such as Big Radish Star and Painted Girl Star. She suddenly looked melancholy, pointed to a very bright star in the sky with a pale white halo, and said, "This is the Blazing White Star, the star of my master."
Li Changxiao looked up and knew it for the first time. He looked at the star and thought that it was really similar to Zhao Qing. Straight and bright. This star is very close to the moon. At first glance, it seems to have rolled up its sleeves and wants to fight with the moon.
Si Nian complained, "My Jiligulu Star and Hualahua Star disappeared a few days ago. I don't know who picked them. Anyone who can still pick stars now must be a powerful person. I can't beat him. I can only curse him... He has bad luck every day, bad luck every day."
Li Changxiao was stunned: "Why did the stars disappear?" Si Nian said, "Humph, who else could it be? It must be a fight between the great monks!" Li Changxiao suddenly panicked. He had a big fight with Mu Chengfeng a few days ago, and he had grabbed a lot of stars and thrown them at Mu Chengfeng.
Recently, there was only this big monk fight in the sky above Lingtian. So... the real culprit who stole the stars is probably next to Si Nian. Si Nian became more and more angry as he spoke. He put his hands on his waist, puffed up his face, and cursed the star thief fiercely. Li Changxiao secretly wiped the cold sweat and tried to change the subject several times. But Si Nian was full of resentment and couldn't help but pull it back.
Li Changxiao was cursed in person, but he dared not say a word. Sometimes he defended the "thief", but his words were very weak. He was not as angry as Si Nian.
...
In a blink of an eye, Li Changxiao had lived in the wooden house for more than a month. The two seemed to be back to the past. In fact, Si Nian had become much colder and less lively since she followed Zhao Qing.
He chose a remote and quiet place to live because he didn't like to interact with people. He went up the mountain to collect herbs every day and went down the mountain to buy herbs. The days passed by, as if he was waiting but not waiting.
After meeting Li Changxiao again, his nature was naturally radiant and lively. This month, the two went up the mountain to collect herbs. If they were lucky, they would pick up some rabbits and wild boars along the way and take them home.
The two could not finish too much meat, so they took the leftovers to the market to sell. The money they got in exchange could be used to buy new furniture and new clothes. If they came across some pleasing ornaments, they would have extra money to buy them.
Their life was quite comfortable. Si Nian praised Li Changxiao's skill in roasting rabbit, which was not rusty at all compared with the past. The skin was crispy and fragrant, and the inside was tender and juicy. Si Nian liked Li Changxiao's roasted rabbit the most. Fuyao's rabbit meat had a faint smell of mutton, which was very difficult to remove. Others' rabbit meat was not delicious. But Li Changxiao's rabbit meat was unique.
Si Nian had wanted to ask for advice for a long time. But Li Changxiao had always refused to teach. He once joked, "If I teach you, you will never come to me again." At that time, Si Nian was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed Li Changxiao for being a cunning boy, a big slippery head, and a stinky bastard.
This scolding, which seemed like coquetry and playfulness, naturally made Li Changxiao laugh and enjoy it. But now... as long as Si Nian asked, Li Changxiao would definitely teach. But Si Nian refused to ask.
Even if Li Changxiao wanted to teach, as soon as the words came out, Si Nian would find an excuse to leave. Fuyao's rabbit meat has a pungent smell. Ginger and cooking wine can't get rid of it. But adding some grass leaves can turn the pungent smell into a fresh earthy taste.
Li Changxiao's unique skill is so simple that it is shocking. Of course... it is also this roasted rabbit road that no one competes with him. Otherwise, if there were talented people in this generation, someone would have figured out this section long ago.
Because the two of them often entered the town for the first time, and the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, they always attracted a lot of onlookers. Si Nian felt that there were many more foxy women on the street. He couldn't help thinking of the past, when he often heard: "There is a errand boy at the foot of the mountain, he is very handsome, but unfortunately his talent is a little poor." "Yes, if the talent is better, I will take the initiative to attack."... and other words. I feel a little unhappy.
So they dug a vegetable plot in front of the small wooden house. There happened to be a small river in front of the door. The two cultivated the vegetable plot and caught river fish. Even if they didn't make a penny, they were self-sufficient. Of course, after a while, they always had to buy some wine and meat to enjoy themselves.
The fish in this big river seemed to be stupid and silly. Li Changxiao fished elsewhere and caught one in half a year. But when he sat by the river and lowered the hook, the fish bit the hook very frequently. He caught one every few breaths, and each one was fat, with delicious and firm meat.
With just this river, it was not a problem to make a fortune.
