Chapter 10 Hot Pot
It snowed all day and all night.
As soon as the snow stopped, Jiang Nan couldn't wait to get into the mountain.
Tianmen Mountain has not only been an excellent spiritual place for cultivation since ancient times, it is also a natural origin of medicinal materials. There are all kinds of plants on the mountain with medicinal properties such as hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying.
Of course, there are also flowers, plants and leaves that contain highly toxic substances.
She originally thought that after researching the poison recipe, she could immediately implement her revenge plan, but she never expected that she would have to make dozens of arsenic, aconite, love flowers, curare wood, etc. needed to make "blood sealing throat". In the huge Tianmen Mountain, less than half of the raw materials can be found.
Each of the raw materials she listed already contains highly toxic materials, but the target she wants to poison is special. If it cannot be killed with one blow, the consequences will be endless.
So to be conservative, she thought it would be better to wait until all the materials were collected to make a bloody throat seal before taking action.
In this case, she still has to find a chance to go down the mountain.
It’s noon in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Nan spent a long time searching for raw materials in the mountains. She was tired, cold, and scratched by the hungry bugs in her stomach, so she could only reluctantly return to the small hut carrying a basket on her back.
As soon as she walked outside the door, she saw A Yan standing under the eaves of her thatched house from a distance.
He was wrapped in the cotton robe she gave him last time. Half of his legs were almost submerged in the snow. He had been standing outside for who knows how long. His cheeks were red from the cold and his hands were curled up in his sleeves. Trembling constantly.
Jiang Nan hurriedly walked over on the snow: "Ayan, why are you here?"
Hearing the sound, Ayan raised his head and rubbed the thin layer on his eyelashes. The thin frost flowers made a stiff smile: "Ajiu, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come back? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"What are you looking for me for?" Jiang Nan ignored his question and noticed that her lips were purple and there were thin threads of blood oozing out from the corners of her mouth. She was obviously very cold, so she hurriedly said: "Let's go in first."< br>
“No need, let’s talk about it here.”
While stamping his feet to keep warm, A Yan said in an orderly manner: “Young Master went to the hot spring in the back mountain this morning. Chi was recovering from his injuries, and he picked up a few pheasants on the way back, saying they were just enough to replenish my health. I thought I couldn’t keep this kind of thing to myself, so I hurried over and asked you to come with me.”
Ayan. Since he is not a disciple of cultivation, he does not have to abide by the rules of Tianmen Mountain to be vegetarian or fast like other people, but after all, he lives in Tianmen Mountain, and he is embarrassed to make an exception to eat non-vegetarian food.
Having been a vegetarian for so long, when the young master came back today, he suddenly said that he had picked up two pheasants to replenish his body. He was also very surprised at the time. Later, when I thought about it, the young master must have noticed that he was getting thinner and thinner recently, so he paid attention to help him make up for it, right? Hearing that there was game to eat, Jiang Nan's saliva suddenly came out: "There are pheasants on the mountain that can be picked up, how come I didn't know?"
"It is really rare on weekdays. It has probably snowed in the past two days and the small animals have been frozen to death, right?" Ayan said.
Actually, he has never figured this out. Before, he often accompanied the young master to the hot springs in the back mountain, and he never found any trace of pheasants. How come when it snows, all the chickens run out?
Whether he froze to death or not, for Jiang Nan, who loves nothing but meat, eating meat is all that matters.
So she put down the basket and followed A Yan to the Songcao Courtyard without stopping.
As soon as she walked into the yard, she smelled the aroma of meat coming out of the window, which made the glutton in Jiang Nan's stomach suddenly wake up, and he scratched his belly and kept screaming.
When he opened the door, he saw that Xuan Yu was sitting at a square table in the room. There were seven or eight large and small plates on the table, and there was a small hot pot in the middle, which was steaming hot.
Jiang Nan ran over without caring about his frozen injured leg: "Hot pot, it's actually hot pot!"
Scanning around the table, he found that there was only one plate of cooked food. In addition to the chicken, there are two plates of raw meat slices and several plates of mushrooms and dried vegetables.
Ou Moling has been freezing cold all year round, and a few hot pot meals are indispensable in daily diet. However, after all, the demon world does not have as many fresh ingredients to eat as the mortal world. Moreover, she had been dead for many years and had not tasted hot pot for a long time. Looking at the delicious food on the table in front of her, she hurriedly pulled out a chair and sat down.
Xuan Yu noticed her drooling and excited expression, and his mouth curled up slightly, thinking that the little girl was really easy to feed, and just a pot of hot soup made her so happy.
The two sat down. Jiang Nan couldn't wait to pick up a chicken leg with chopsticks. Just as he was about to put it in his bowl, he thought for a moment and handed it to A Yan's bowl: "A Yan, are you still there? "Grow your body, this is for you."
"Thank you." Ah Jiu smiled happily in front of the table of delicious food.
Jiang Nan picked up another chicken leg and deliberately circled it in front of Xuan Yu: "Senior Brother, you have already gone without food, right? Then this chicken leg..."
Xuan Yu He pursed his lips and smiled in disgust: "I'll give you the chicken legs to eat. I have no intention of grabbing them from you."
"Even if you rob it, I won't give it to you." After Jiang Nan said this, she put the chicken leg in her mouth and took a small bite, chewing it with pride and satisfaction.
There are pheasants on the mountain, but not many. It took a lot of effort for the senior brother to find two.
