Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 17 Mr. Under the Stone Tablet

——Baking fish is a technical job, at least Lu Chenran thinks so.

After a while, Li Zijun covered his mouth and laughed while looking at the indescribable object in Lu Chenran's hand that had been roasted into coke.

After a few days of contact, Brother Lu always had a calm expression. It turned out that there was something he was not good at.

"Brother Lu, it seems that my aunt has raised you very well. You have never cooked a meal in so many years, and you have never touched Yang Chun Shui."

Lu Chenran looked at the fish charcoal in his hand with some embarrassment.

When it comes to cooking, when I was in Blue Star, I only made instant noodles because I wanted to show off my skills in front of the young prince.

"It's so rare. Does Brother Lu also have an embarrassed expression?"

"Hahaha."

"."

Seeing this scene, Snow Fox lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

——Somewhat lost.

"Brother Lu, when it comes to cooking in the future, I'll be the one to do it."

Li Zijun caught a grass carp from the fish cage, shook it in front of Lu Chenran, and then started to disembowel it very skillfully, taking out the eggs, deboning, and throwing out the guts
  After all this is done, the processed fish is placed on the stone slab, with a blazing flame burning under it. In a short moment, the fish will be cooked.

Freshly killed fish requires no other spices, just a little salt, and the mouth is filled with the fresh aroma of fish.
  Li Zijun divided the grilled fish into two halves and handed the larger one to Lu Chenran. His bare hands blended into the white snow, and he couldn't tell which one was whiter and more delicate.

Lu Chenran took the grilled fish, and then the two of them sat opposite each other, eating fresh fish in line with the rule of "eating without talking or sleeping without talking".

After lunch, Lu Chenran felt the warmth in his belly and burped:
  "The fish cooked by Brother Li tastes very good."

"——It's just a little bit less. It's only half full."

"."

Li Zijun was eating his portion in small bites. Hearing this, he smiled:
  "I don't know who burned the grass carp just now. It's too little now."

"."

Lu Chenran's face turned red and he couldn't explain himself.

The warm sun was hanging high, with a shy face, and the plain white fox fur was warmed by the heat.

After having lunch and feeling full, the two of them returned along the original route.

In the mountains, a sea of ​​wintersweet flowers appears before our eyes, mixed with red and white, and the trees are all covered with the bright red of cherry blossoms. A slight breeze makes the flowers fragrant, causing red rain to fall.

Three ounces of pure white plum petals, blown by the wind, floated around and stuck to the snow fox's face.

The young prince followed behind Lu Chenran and walked through the wintersweet forest. The snowflakes in the sky fell leisurely. The weather in the mountains changed at any time. It seemed that there would be another heavy snow tonight. In order to prevent the footprints from being caught by the heavy snow. To cover up, we must rush to the place where the caravan rests as soon as possible before dark.

A cavalry team rested for two days beside the official road.

At three o'clock in the morning, the traveling merchant and a group of escorts began to wake up one after another. Meat was cooking in the pot, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, discussing the strange things along the way.

Uncle Wang walked to the young prince's tent and said softly:

"Little prince, are you awake?"

After waiting for a long time and getting no response, Uncle Wang suddenly had a bad thought in his heart. He opened the curtain and saw that the tent was empty. Where was the shadow of the young prince?

"The young prince is missing!"

Could it be that he was kidnapped?

Uncle Wang ran all over the caravan but could not find the young prince, and he couldn't help but start to feel anxious.

"Mr. Lu is missing too?"

Uncle Liu was still recovering from his injuries. When he heard about this, he stood up and dressed. He closed his eyes and thought:
  "Those bandits along the road definitely don't have the guts to capture the prince's house. Maybe the young prince accidentally went into the mountains and lost his way."

"The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky turns into ice when splashing water. I'm afraid we should send people to search the mountain quickly. We must find the young prince before dark."

"."

"Yes."

Snow suddenly fell, rustling down.

The news that the young prince was missing quickly spread throughout the caravan, and for a while the entire caravan was filled with panic.

The Hushan God in the car cage woke up from meditation and opened his eyes, only to find that Mr. Lu, who had been meditating next to him, was missing.

The tiger raised his head, propped up his ears, and listened to the chaotic sounds around him. They were all conversations about the disappearance of Mr. Lu and the young prince.
  吼？
  It sat up suddenly, its wide-open tiger eyes were full of disbelief, swallowed hard, and murmured to itself:
  "Could it be that Mr. Lu abandoned my tiger?"

"But sir, he clearly said that he and I had been together for more than a month, and it had only been five days, so how could he leave quietly?"

Compared with the elusive Immortal from Mount Xian, Mr. Lu, who is clearly within reach, is more real.

Hushan God has never been in such a nervous and anxious mood. He kept exhaling hot breath from his nostrils, and the feline's unique 'purr' sounded in the wind and snow.

Can't—

If Mr. Lu really abandoned me, why did he leave the promise that he would be with him for more than a month?

"I want to worship you, sir, to resolve the confusion in Tiger's heart. Tiger!"

Think so.

Roar——

There was a panicked tiger roar that echoed throughout the entire mountain forest, and then in the panic of everyone in the caravan, the snow tiger that was more than ten feet broke out of the cage and plunged into the pine forest, following the smell that Lu Chenran had not yet dissipated. , and pursued all the way.

The tiger trampled on the snow, roared in the pine forest, startled the birds in the sky, and flew away.

Snow Tiger's strange movement immediately alarmed everyone. The wooden cage with a thick mouth was shattered in an instant. It was as fragile as paper in front of Snow Tiger and could not bear a palm.

"What's going on? Why is Snow Tiger so crazy?"

An escort looked at all this blankly, and suddenly an unrealistic idea came to his mind, and he tentatively said:

"Tell me, did this tiger spirit go looking for Mr. Lu?"

"Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

"Then why do you choose to go crazy when Mr. Lu is not around?"

"."

Uncle Liu, who was walking far away and was recovering from a serious illness, was suddenly shocked when he heard these words.

Mr. Lu is definitely not an ordinary person. He has such a strange poison in his body, and it can bring his life back. How can he speculate based on what ordinary people do? It is very likely that the young prince stayed with Mr. Lu.

It's better to follow this tiger spirit than to bump around like a headless fly in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Uncle Liu quickly waved his hands and shouted at the escorts on the side:

"Quick!"

"One team followed the tiger and another team checked the surrounding footprints and continued to search the mountain. The young prince must be found before dawn."

The snow fell in a rustle and sprinkled on the pine branches, like glistening white.

The two of them walked in the direction of the caravan along the traces they had left. Not long after, they seemed to hear the sound of a rush of running, accompanied by a roar of tigers, and a faint cry from further away.

The young prince's eyes lit up:
  "It's the people from the caravan who are looking for us, Brother Lu"

She turned around and saw Lu Chenran, who seemed to have suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Huh? Brother Lu, where are you going?"

"I borrowed something from sir when I went up the mountain before. Now I have to return it."

"Where is sir?"

"Sir is under the stone monument."

"Brother Lu is joking again."

"."

Lu Chenran smiled casually, his eyes lit up with a faint light, and his mind kept following the things in the mountain.

Finally, he found the stone tablet from last night, so he patted the snow on his body and walked towards the stone tablet.

"Brother Lu?"

Lu Chenran slowly lowered his body and pushed aside the layers of snow on the stone tablet with his hands.

A shimmering purple-flowered Ganoderma swaying in the wind.

He touched the purple leaves of the firefly mushroom and said gently:

"Almost forgot."

"Lu came back to Yinghuo."

"."
