Chapter 131 Enjoying a Self-Driving Tour
Cang Yue State Official Road
The sky gradually darkened. The largest tent in the camp was the awning extending from the door of Ye Ling's tent. Jiuyou and Huzi had extended and widened it by several meters. Several lanterns were hung around the inner edge of the awning, and there were also lanterns in the middle. There were candles on several tables, making the awning much brighter. Jiuyou even went in to light candles in the tent.
In addition, lights were lit in each tent, and from a distance, the entire camp was very bright.
Ye Ling put all the rabbit meat into two pots, and used the remaining pot to steam rice. Because there were too many people eating, two pots of rice were not enough.
Mo Yufeng was trying to persuade Ruibao in the tent: "Do you think what you said today was right? Didn't Junior Sister teach you? She's obviously tough on the outside but soft on the inside. But what about you? How come you're so clueless?"
"Hmph," Rui Bao pouted. "Didn't she just teach me a few martial arts essentials? What's so great about that? If it weren't for Master, how could a woman like her make it onto the Langya List? And even become the Langya Pavilion's Secretary? How could that be? Master is so powerful, and she stole his position."
Mo Yufeng's expression turned serious, and he was a little angry. "Was it your master who helped Ye Ling get on the Nirvana in Fire? Was it him who defeated She Zhao?"
"I…"
"What? I never thought you were so ungrateful. My junior sister's martial arts skills are no match for mine. She defeated She Zhaoshang on the Langya List on her own. How did it become your master's achievement? Explain clearly."
Ruibao was a little at a loss, muttering: "Even if it's her own ability, what about the Langya Pavilion Envoy?"
"The appointments to Langya Pavilion aren't something you, a child, can dictate. The most capable will be appointed. This was decided by the old Pavilion Master, Master, and Sect Master, and they also sought the approval of all the brothers in Renzi Hall. You can see this from Zhuang Yi's respect for my junior sister. Renzi Hall is full of desperate criminals, and they only recognize those with good martial arts skills. Do you think your master is worthy of being the Renzi Hall's Chief Envoy? Can he ensure the safety of Langya Pavilion?"
"I…"
"What do you want to say? Ruibao, I originally thought you were innocent, but I never thought you were so scheming. You think your junior sister has taken your master's position. You are really ambitious!"
"I did not mean that"
"What do you mean? Since you've decided to enter the martial arts world, you have to take responsibility for your words. Just like what Junior Sister said, we're all just learning how to be human for the first time. No one has to give in to you, because we're all unrelated."
"I didn't ask anyone to give in to me," Ruibao still refused to accept it.
"Ruibao, I can tell you clearly that your junior sister has been giving in to you from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, with her temper, if you had provoked her again and again, she would have crushed you to death. She may have been tolerant of you for the sake of your master. If you want to go back alive, don't provoke her. You are not related to me, and I am taking you with me for the sake of your master. That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully. If it doesn't work, go back! I will send someone to take you away." Mo Yufeng was really angry, and he walked out of the tent directly after he finished speaking.
Ruibao sulked alone, still unable to understand why, given his status as a master, Ye Ling and Mo Yufeng were supposed to take good care of him. Wasn't that just how it should be?
Mo Yufeng trotted into Ye Ling's awning and asked, "You guys extended and widened it so much?"
"Sister Ling said it was a bit crowded. It's much more spacious this time. You can have tea here with Master You," said Su Su.
Youminglang had already come over and sat down, waving at Mo Yufeng: "Come here, don't hang around there, or you'll get scolded."
Mo Yufeng hurried over: "This place has just been widened. The ground must be wet. Wouldn't the blanket get soaked if we spread it there?"
"Don't worry, Ye Sishi has a special moisture-proof cloth laid underneath. Now the blanket is not only not wet, but also warm," Youminglang said with a smile.
Mo Yufeng immediately sat down and felt it: "It is indeed dry, which is much better. We can chat after dinner. Anyway, we can't go tomorrow. The road is slippery in the rain and very dangerous."
"If you can't leave, just live here, with green mountains and clear water. This is my dream, a dream from a long, long time ago." Ye Ling interrupted. She was absolutely telling the truth. In the 21st century, after graduating from school, she would have to work in a boring job. She always wanted to go on a road trip at any time, to a place with green mountains and clear water, stay for a few days, feel the beauty of nature, and stay away from the noisy city.
"That's my dream too," Su Su immediately raised her hand. "I want to live here too. It's so comfortable without all the messy worries! It's beautiful just thinking about it."
"I like it too," Youming Lang said. "Just like Miss Su said, there are no worldly trivialities here. Instead, there are green mountains and clear waters, drinking tea, and chatting. I couldn't even imagine such a life before, but now I have it. I have to thank Ye Sishi for this. Without you, I'm afraid I would never leave the Guiren Pavilion in my life."
Mo Yufeng smiled and said, "I'm sure everyone doesn't like days like this, right? In that case, let's seize the opportunity to enjoy this rare moment."
"Mo Si Shi" a voice sounded from the side of the awning.
Mo Yufeng's expression immediately changed: "Miss Meng, is there something wrong?"
"Can I... come over and sit for a while?" Meng Jing was surprisingly humble: "I promise, I won't say a word. Just sit here. My side is too quiet."
"I have no say in this. The awning is our Night Envoy's private territory, and I am also a guest." Mo Yufeng didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Meng Jing looked at Su Su and bowed to apologize. "I'm sorry, Miss Su, I shouldn't have said that about your mother that day. I'm sorry, but I didn't say those words. I just heard them and said them casually. I'm sorry. Did we get along well on the way here?"
"You have been bullying my young lady, and you still say it's okay?" Qiuju retorted.
"I did bully her, but when she was in real danger, I didn't abandon her!" Meng Jing felt a little aggrieved.
Su Su stood up and said, "I forgive you this time and repay you for saving me that time. From now on, we are even."
"She still saved you?" Ye Ling was surprised.
"On the way here, I accompanied her to the toilet and we met a lone wolf. I was so scared that my legs were weak and I couldn't run. She ran a long way alone, and when she found that I didn't catch up, she came back and hit the wolf with a stick, temporarily forcing it back. This gave Zhuang Yi a chance to rescue me, otherwise I might have been bitten by the wolf." Su Su is a kind girl. She knows how to remember favors, so she easily forgave Meng Jing.
"That's exactly what happened," Zhuang Yi confirmed.
"Mr. Ye, I can also cook and work. Can you stay here for a while? I will help you serve the food." Meng Jing said and started working, working very efficiently.
Ye Ling didn't say anything else. These things had nothing to do with her. She would only see a passerby like Meng Jing once in this life and there would be no next time.
Soon, the rabbit meat was cooked and there was enough rice. Jiuyou counted the bowls, and Meng Jing and Qiuju served rice to each one.
Ye Ling started to cook the fish. She simply made two pots of soup and put the fish pieces in. It was cooked in less than half a minute. She kept two portions of rabbit meat and fish for her table, and asked Zhuang Yi to distribute the rest to his cousins.
Everyone started eating and enjoying the food.
Zhuang Yi and others praised Ye Leng's cooking skills. For them, being able to eat the food cooked by their boss was really a happy and satisfying thing!
Mo Yufeng couldn't stop eating: "Junior sister! You are really a fairy on earth, with great martial arts skills and you can cook. Any man would like you!"
"So you like Sister Ling too?" Su Su asked immediately.
"Of course not, we are brother and sister," Mo Yufeng explained quickly.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Susu, don't worry, even if he likes me, I don't like him."
"That's right, I believe in Sister Ling." Su Su really regarded Ye Ling as her idol.
"I don't want to say much, I just want to eat more." Mo Yufeng simply didn't refute.
Meng Jing lowered her head and kept eating. She had been eating cold dry food these days. Now that she finally had a meal, she had to eat more.
"Envoy Ye, who did you learn this cooking skill from? The fish you made doesn't have any fishy smell at all," asked Youminglang.
"Practice makes perfect. I studied it slowly on my own."
"That's amazing! Going out with you is like going to heaven!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Brother. How long will it take us to reach the next town?"
"If it doesn't rain, it'll probably be three days, but now it's raining, so it's hard to say."
"Zhuang Yi said the brothers didn't have much food left."
"We have a lot and can share some with you." Meng Jing quickly seized the opportunity to show off.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Meng, but we don't know how long the rain will last. You'd better take care of your own food and drink. Since we're not leaving tomorrow anyway, I'll make some dry food myself. With so many people helping, it will be easy," said Ye Ling.
"Make dry food?" Mo Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "Junior sister, did you bring flour?"
"Yes, one bag is enough." Ye Ling wanted to say, I don't have much space for other things, but I have a whole room full of rice and flour, and it's a vacuum room, so they will never go bad.
"You not only brought rice when you went out, but also noodles?" Mo Yufeng was a little surprised.
"What's so strange about this? I'm here for sightseeing, not for traveling. How can I not be well prepared? What if I come across some interesting place? If I stay for a few more days, won't I starve to death?" Ye Ling asked back.
"Hu Zi, did you hear me? Next time you go out, remember to bring pots, pans, rice and flour, cook anywhere and enjoy life," said You Ming Lang.
"Yes, I understand," Hu Zi responded.
"I will bring these with me when I go out next time. No, I will buy these things when I get to the next town, and then I can eat hot food for the rest of the journey," said Meng Jing.
Ye Ling shook his head slightly and stopped talking, speechless in his heart: It seems that the person who wrote the book is not very smart. Why are the people in this book so stupid? They have carriages but no pots and pans, and eat cold steamed buns every day. They are sick, seriously ill.
"Master" Meng Meng spoke up: "In ancient times, people traveled only for business. Who would just wander around for free? There was no such thing as tourism. That's why they wouldn't think of bringing pots and pans to cook!"
Ye Ling disagreed: Don’t give me that, they are just stupid and not as smart as me.
"Okay, Master is the smartest, okay?" Meng Meng was helpless and could only compromise.
