    Chapter 72 I’m making soup

    It was night, and the two of them were lying on a spacious stone bed. The time under house arrest was really hard to endure. They had practiced their martial arts, eaten, and had nothing else to do.

    Walking around, in such a large cave, Chu Wanning felt calm, which was okay, but the ink was different. He really felt like he was living like a year.

    “Oh, it’s boring, it’s boring, what are you playing for? What are you playing for?”

    Chu night Ning closed his eyes and said: “Sleep.”

    “It’s still very early.” Mo Ran glanced at the hourglass and shook his head, “It’s very early.”

    Chu would rather ignore him.

    Mo Ran rolled on the bed a few times, and suddenly came to pull his face.

    “Junior brother.”

    “…”

    “Junior brother~”

    “…”

    “Junior brother!!”

    Allen Chu suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily: “What to do!”

    Mo Ran shamelessly took his hand and shook it back and forth: “Play with me.”

    “…Are you the junior brother or am I the junior brother?” Allen Chu was furious and threw away his hand, “Who will accompany you to fool around!”

    He smiled sweetly, really shamelessly, and said: “Of course you will accompany me to fool around. Otherwise, who else could be there.”

    Allen Chu: “…”

    The hair tie was removed from Mo Ran’s head. It was a narrow red one, tied at both ends, stretched between Mo Ran’s fingers, and twisted into a unique knot.

    Chu Wanning finally sat up from the bed and asked in a bad temper: “What is this? How to play?”

    “This is a flower rope. Girls play it more often. Boys usually don’t play this. But didn’t I grow up in a music studio? There were many girls there, so I learned how to play it.”

    “…”

    “Actually, it’s quite interesting. Look, you hook this thread onto your finger… No, it’s not this one, it’s the little finger, well, that’s it. Then hook the two threads over there with your thumb and index finger…” Mo Ran spoke slowly and softly, very patiently and peacefully.

    The candle flames crackled, and the warm yellow light reflected their figures, one big and one small, lowering their heads to wrap around the red thread wrapped by the hair rope intently, and their expressions on each other gradually became gentle.

    Chu Wanning’s hand stretched the thread, and he wound the pattern under Mo Ran’s guidance. Unexpectedly, he wound it wrong. When the red thread changed hands, it did not pull out a new pattern as expected. Instead, it was pulled back into its original shape, two simple lines.

    he looked at it blankly, his hand still raised in the air, but he murmured with a puzzled look on his face: “Why did it break up? How could it be like this…”

    “Haha, you took the wrong route again.”

    “…Come again.”

    “If you don’t come, you won’t come.” Mo Ran smiled and said, “It’s boring to play one thing, so change it to something else.”

    “No.” This time, Chu Wanning was not happy, and solemnly said, “Do it again.”​​

    “…”

    The two stayed in the cave for three days. On the fourth night, Mo Ran prepared to make some delicious food for Chu Wanning as usual.He has figured out some tricks in the past few days. As expected, his junior brother and his master are from the same hometown, and their likes and dislikes of food are exactly the same.

    What the Feathermen brought tonight was a hen and a few mushrooms.Mo Ran plans to cook a pot of fresh mushroom and chicken soup, and add some noodles rolled by himself. The taste will not be too bad.

    “Chicken soup tonight?”

    “Yeah.” Mo Ran responded and looked sideways at Allen Chu.Although this child is extremely talented in martial arts, he is completely unable to find the way to turn the pattern rope. However, he is particularly stubborn. If he has nothing to do, he will take a hair rope in his hand to figure it out. His stubborn look is also hilarious.

    Mo Ran smiled and said: “You sit next to me and play slowly, but I’m afraid that my soup has been stewed, but you haven’t studied the rope thoroughly yet.”

    Allen Chu snorted coldly, paused, and said lightly: “Are there any ginger slices in the remaining ingredients?”

    “Let me see… yo, there are some, there are a lot of them. I gave them a bunch of ginger yesterday.”

    Chu Wanning said with satisfaction: “Put more in to remove the smell.”

    Mo Ran touched his chin: “Oh…should I put some wolfberry in it?”

    Allen Chu’s eyes lit up: “Is there any?”

    “Pfft. Of course not. I just think you and Master have very similar tastes. He also likes to put ginger and wolfberry in his soup.”

    “…Do you remember what he likes to eat?”

    “Haha, yes, yes, I am a good boy.” Mo Ran was too lazy to explain. He couldn’t tell his junior brother about his past and present lives, right?So he followed the pole and responded, “I am a good disciple of Twenty-four Filial Piety. It’s a pity that Master can’t see my innocent heart and admire me with all my heart.”

    Mo Ran said casually and began to process the poultry, so he missed Chu Wanning’s expression perfectly. He quickly plucked the hair and removed the organs, and was about to boil water to remove the blood stains. At this time, he suddenly heard the younger brother whisper: “He may not know.”

    “What?”

    Seeing Mo Ran raise his head, Chu nightning suddenly turned red at the tip of his ears. He turned his head and coughed a few times, and said: “I said you treat Elder Yu Heng well, he may not know it.”

    “Oh, this, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’m used to it, although sometimes I also dream that he can talk to me about himself like other people’s masters, or occasionally know what I like like I know what he likes to eat. But that’s all in the past. When I first joined the company, I was deceived by his beautiful skin and thought he was a gentle person. Now that I think about it, it’s really… ugh, heThe old man is out of reach and has everything to do with him.How dare I get in his eyes, haha, hahaha.”

    When Chu Wanning heard the words, he was a little sullen, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that although he cared about Mo Ran, he always showed an alienated attitude. He could not help but feel sullen and became embarrassed, so he bowed his head silently.After a while, he jumped off the bed and walked to Mo Ran silently.

    “What to do?”

    “You’ve been cooking for several days. Today’s simple meal is for me to cook for you.”

    Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “Why do you suddenly have such an idea? How can you cook when you are so small? You can’t even reach the stove. What’s more, I am your senior brother. Since you call me this, a few meals are nothing.”

    Chu Wanning moved a bench over, stood on the bench without making a sound, and looked at he stubbornly.

    Mo Ran: “…Why are you staring at me?”

    “See if I can reach the stove.”

    “…”

    “Elder Yuheng doesn’t know what you like to eat, but I’m not as heartless as he.” Chu Wanning said expressionlessly, “Go and have a rest, I’ll cook for you.”

    After busy for a long time, Chu Wanning did not let Mo Ran intervene. Instead, he held up the kitchen knife to cut up the body of the hen with fierce eyes. His expression was focused and his technique was stiff. The scene was unbearable to watch.

    Mo Ran originally wanted to help, but the little junior brother’s bad temper was very similar to that of his master. He especially hated being disturbed when he was concentrating on doing things, so after asking for trouble several times, Mo Ran had no choice but to scratch his head and lie on the bed in a daze to rest.

    The chicken was finally out of the pot. Chu Wanning covered the soup pot with a mud lid. He turned around and was about to say something to Mo Ran when he suddenly heard a gentle voice coming from the door of the prison.

    “Ah Ran, Junior Brother Xia, are you here?”

    When Mo Ran heard this voice, he jumped out of bed as if he was struck by lightning, he rushed to the door, and through the gap, he first saw a Yumin standing outside coldly, but when he turned his eyes slightly, he saw behind her, Shi Mo, dressed in white, standing with a sad face, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed: “Shi Mo! You… why are you here?”

    “I have something important to tell you.” Shi Mo said, “The Lord has received the report and rushed to Peach Blossom Spring. He is currently negotiating with the Yu People. How are you? Have you been suffering these days?”

    “I’m very well. I can eat, drink and dance.” Mo Ran paused and asked, “Where is the master? Where is he?”

    “It is said that he is still in seclusion for cultivation and has never come here.”

    “Oh…” Mo Ran’s eyes flickered, he sighed randomly, and murmured to himself, “It’s okay if you don’t come…it’s okay if you don’t come.”

    “But Elder Xuanxuan has arrived and said he is here to vouch for Junior Brother Xia.” Shi Mo asked, “Is Junior Brother Xia sleeping?”

    Mo Ran said: “No, he is making soup. Junior brother – come here quickly!”

    Allen Chu put down the small bamboo fan that was fanning the fire, walked to the door, looked at the two people outside, there was no unexpected expression, and said lightly: “What’s wrong?”

    Before Shi Mo could say anything, he heard the Yu Min snort first and asked: “You are not from the top of life and death yet. Your master said that he wants to protect you, and he is planning with our Immortal Lord.”

    “…My master?”

    “Elder Xuanxuan.”

    “Oh.” Chu night Ning paused, expressionless, “very good.”

    The Yumin curled his lips and said, “You two, come out. All the lords have gathered in the Drinking Dew Pavilion, waiting to hear your explanation.”

    Chu Wanning looked back at the simmering chicken soup and said, “I’m not going. The soup is half boiled and I can’t leave. Mo Ran, please speak for me.”

    When the Yu Min heard this, he thought that he was indeed a young child whose speech was so unreliable, so he sneered and threatened him: “If you don’t go, you will miss the opportunity to defend yourself. If you are sentenced to kill the eighteenth girl, you will have to kill someone to pay for it and lose your head.”

    Unexpectedly, Chu Wanning was not afraid at all after hearing this. Instead, he looked indifferent, glanced at he coldly, turned around and left.

    The teacher was about to call him, but Mo Ran smiled and shook his head: “Let him go, I’ll go.”

    “But Elder Xuexuan has come all the way, so it would be disrespectful for him not to greet him…”

    Before Mo Ran spoke, he heard Chu Wanning saying from afar: “Brother Mo, please say hello to the master for me.”

    “…” What he said was so quiet that he actually heard it. The teacher couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat. When Yumin opened the thorn bush outside the cell, he pulled Mo Ran and prepared to leave.

    Unexpectedly, at this time, Chu Wanning turned back and called him: “Brother.”

    “Junior brother has changed his mind and wants to go with me?” Mo Ran asked with a smile.

    Allen Chu waved his sleeves with his short hand and said: “I won’t go. I came here to tell you, remember to come back early. If it is late, the soup will be cold and not delicious.”

    Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: “Okay, then you wait for me.”

    “Well.” Chu Wanning stopped talking, but when Mo Ran walked far away and the figure disappeared around the corner, he turned his head and concentrated on making soup.

    Yinlu Pavilion is not far from the prison cave. On the way there, Shi Mo asked intentionally or unintentionally: “Ah Ran, you seem to have become more familiar with Junior Brother Xia these days?”

    Mo Ran smiled and said: “Yes, he and I share weal and woe. Why, is the teacher jealous of a child?”

    “…nonsense.”

    “Hahaha, don’t worry, Shimo. My favorite is still Shimo, and it won’t change.”

    “…Don’t talk nonsense anymore, I just think Junior Brother Xia is a little strange…”

    “Weird? Oh…” Mo Ran thought for a while and nodded, “he is quite strange.”

    “You think so too?”

    “Yes.” Mo Ran smiled, “You can talk like adults all day long at a young age, and your magic power should not be underestimated. In addition, the things I encountered in the illusion before were even more bizarre, and I haven’t had time to tell you yet. Do you know? I suspect that he and our master are distant relatives.”

    The teacher’s eyes moved slightly and he asked, “How do you say this?”

    “We saw a man in the illusion. He was the son of the governor of Lin’an City two hundred years ago. He was also named Chu. He looked very similar to the master. He had a son with the same appearance…”

    Just as he was about to get to the key point, he suddenly heard a burst of intense cursing in front of him. When he looked up, he saw Xue Meng striding over with an angry look on his face, cursing incessantly: “Beast! Beast! Shameless bitch!”
