Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 38

late
The afterglow of the setting sun turned the entire sky into a golden yellow
On a hill outside Niujia Village, Li Ming slapped the ground with his palm, and a big hole appeared on the ground with his palm force. After placing the last corpse, he urged the ground next to him to cover the big hole with his palm force.

Everyone looked at the densely packed graves in front of them, and fell silent for a while.

"Let's go, Ouyang Feng is dead, so it can be regarded as revenge for them."

After all, Li Ming had fought on the battlefield, but he had seen many dead people. He spoke first, then turned and left after finishing speaking, and the others calmed down and followed suit.

At this time, Mu Nianci in the room just woke up and saw that there was no one in the room. He hesitated for a while, and hurried out to check. When he saw the familiar figure slowly approaching from a distance, his heart turned from sadness to joy.
"Why do you wake up so early and don't rest for a while?"

The warm voice made her feel at ease, and she said softly with red lips:

"I've been resting for a long time, you haven't eaten yet, I'll make some food for you"

After that, I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"I'll go with you"

Li Ming looked at Mu Nianci's graceful back, and followed with a movement of his feet

Later, Hong Qigong and Guo Jing looked at each other in blank dismay, and then realized in vain, no wonder they had been depressed when they met Mu Nianci in Niujia Village, so that was the case.

kitchen
As soon as Li Ming entered the kitchen, he regretted following him, but the two of them didn't know what to say for a moment, they could only stare wide-eyed, and the kitchen suddenly fell into silence

In the end, it was Mu Nianci who spoke first, lowered his head and said softly, "I'm going to cook, you can wash the dishes first."

The lowered pretty face, flushed cheeks, and flowing eyes made Li Ming's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly turned around to look for ingredients to deal with.

Soon the kitchen was filled with smoke, and the sound of chopping vegetables sounded like horseshoes. Mu Nianci followed Yang Tiexin all the way around the rivers and lakes, but he also learned a whole body of cooking skills.

Soon as white smoke rose from the iron pan, a scent of vegetables filled the small kitchen

Li Ming took a deep breath. Although the strong aroma of the dishes was not as gorgeous as the palace dishes, it still had a special flavor. The kitchen knife in his hand fluttered up and down, and the cut ingredients were automatically arranged neatly on the side plate.

Mu Nianci glanced at the dishes beside the chopping board, and couldn't help but be amazed by the light of the knife. No one can cut vegetables with the knife skills of killing people on the battlefield.

Mu Nianci frowned when there was a smell of oily smoke. He quickly flipped the fried meat in the pan with the spatula in his hand.

"injured?"

Li Ming chased him out. Seeing Mu Nianci who was holding on to the door frame and retching, he couldn't help but reach out and grab the delicate catkin, and grabbed the pulse door on his wrist.

There was a look of surprise on Li Ming's face, and he hurriedly changed his hand to diagnose again. The pulse was smooth, strong and returning, fast but not stagnant

Mu Nianci glanced at the grasped wrist, two red clouds involuntarily rose on his cheeks, and carefully glanced at Li Ming: "Brother Li, what's the problem?"

Li Ming looked shocked, and then began to feel a little overwhelmed, his mind went blank, and he froze in place for a while

"This………"

Mu Nianci looked at Li Ming whose face was constantly changing and said nothing, his face blushed, and recalled his body's abnormalities in the past two days, lethargy, loss of appetite, disgust of greasy, nausea, morning vomiting, could it be a problem? incurable disease?
Thinking of this, Mu Nianci forced a smile to look at Li Ming, and said softly, "Brother Li, tell me, I can accept it."

There was a hint of reluctance and sadness in his tone.

Li Ming glanced at Mu Nianci, who had a strong smile on his face, and several question marks appeared on his forehead, why did it look like parting from life and death.

Thinking of the result of the diagnosis just now, there was another burst of pain in the skull, one head and two big, but for a while, he didn't know how to tell the truth

Mu Nianci looked at Li Ming who was troubled, and felt even more sad, but he didn't show it, but showed a gentle smile
"Brother Li, it's all about life and death. Nian Chi is satisfied enough to see you again. I hope to meet you first in the next life."

Li Ming couldn't help being moved by what he said, he stretched out his arms to hug Mu Nianci, stroking her hair in a funny way

"What are you thinking, it sounds like parting from life and death, it's a happy pulse"

"Happy pulse?"

Leaning in Li Ming's arms, Mu Nianci, whose cheeks were blushing, raised his head abruptly, and asked uncertainly,

As Li Ming nodded firmly, he couldn't help being enveloped in a burst of surprise. He lowered his head and leaned on Li Ming's chest to listen to the strong heartbeat, and touched his abdomen with his right hand.
"Xi Mai, child?..."

Whispering softly, with a smile of surprise and happiness on his face, Li Ming gently looked at the woman in his arms, stroked her abdomen and said in a warm voice:

"Yes, our children"

A word but a decision in my heart
While the two were bathing in happiness, a burst of burnt smell came
"Ah! The food is mushy"

Mu Nianci pushed Li Ming away and rushed into the kitchen with a cry of surprise, but was stopped by Li Ming

"I'll come, you just have to wait"

Gently stroked Mu Nianci's blue hair, turned around and walked into the kitchen
After a while, the burnt smell in the whole kitchen turned into a tangy aroma of vegetables, obviously Li Ming's craftsmanship is still good
Mu Nianci looked at the kitchen, his eyes were full of affection, a sense of happiness filled his heart, and he stared at the busy figure inside

As the last dish was put into the pot, Li Ming stir-fried it, then turned to call Mu Nianci at the door
"Nianci, go and call everyone over for dinner."

"Um"

But after a while, as Li Ming brought out the last dish, the table was already covered with dishes, and Hong Qigong and the others just arrived
"I didn't expect you to be able to cook."

Hong Qigong looked at Li Ming in amazement. In this day and age, people who pretend to be gentlemen usually stay away from the kitchen, but they misunderstood Mencius's "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen"

"Just cook some home-cooked food, everyone hurry up and sit down"

Li Ming put down the last dish and said nonchalantly, after calling everyone to sit down, he also sat next to Mu Nianci and served her a bowl of fish soup, which was a reward from the beauty.

Hong Qigong and the others looked at the two affectionately, and couldn't help but look at each other, but Guo Jing didn't care, Cheng Yaojia and Hua Zheng on the left and right kept picking up vegetables for him

As for Hong Qigong eating the delicious food in his mouth, he felt like chewing wax. He couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, and recalled the running boys and girls in the sunset.

"Master, why don't you eat, brother Li's dishes are delicious?"

Guo Jing looked at Hong Qigong suspiciously, and asked honestly

It caused Hong Qigong to roll his eyes for a while, but he regretted accepting this silly boy as his apprentice

Li Ming smiled, probably because the old beggar was full of dog food, but in order to take care of Hong Qigong, he restrained his emotions a lot.

During a meal, the full moon appeared during the meal
