This was also the first time Luo Han had eaten such food, which changed his opinion of stinky food.
“No wonder some people like smelly food. It turns out that it really smells bad b but tastes good!”
“That’s right. I’m already so old, but I still can’t get enough of it.” Old Madam Jin replied.
Luo Han glanced at Old Madam Jin and shook his head with a smile.
“I really didn’t expect you to make such a brave decision. But looking at you now, I finally understand why you made such a decision!”
Old Madam Jin naturally knew Luo Han, so she only smiled when she heard his words.
“I’m a little selfish! However, at my age, it’s rare for me to have the chance to do what I want! Therefore, I don’t regret my decision at all!”
Luo Han put down his bowl and chopsticks, then made a fist with one hand and opened his palm with the other in a gesture of admiration.
Old Madam Jin smiled and didn’t mention this topic again.
After eating and drinking, the family cleaned up together before taking a bath.
Everyone had had a long day, so they went to rest early.
When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran returned to their room, Luo Cheng suddenly stopped Li Xiaoran.
“I miss the cabin in the valley on the mountain. Let’s go up and take a look tomorrow!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I want to go up the mountain to take a look too!”
Luo Cheng nodded and patted Li Xiaoran’s head. “Alright, go to sleep! Rest early! ”
Li Xiaoran nodded and reminded Luo Cheng, “Rest early too. You’ve been traveling for the past few days. You must be tired!”
“Okay!” Luo Cheng smiled, then the two of them returned to their rooms. Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng feel at ease with each other in the next room.
They slept peacefully that night.
At the same time, a piece of news was on the way from the capital to Sichuan. No one knew what kind of impact this news would have on Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s lives.
The next morning, after Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran woke up early, they went up the mountain with their baskets.
Recently, bamboo shoots had sprouted on the mountains, so Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran brought their baskets up the mountain and planned to get some more bamboo shoots.
Zhao Xiu steamed a lot of buns and boiled eggs in the morning, so she brought a lot for Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
When they were hungry, they ate some buns and boiled eggs. After eating, they continued climbing the mountain.
Because they didn’t stop along the way, it took them two hours to reach the valley.
Compared to when they left, the valley looked even more beautiful.
Previously, there were still some withered weeds in the valley, but now, there was only greenery.
“There’s a bamboo forest in the corner of the valley. The spring bamboo shoots there are the best. Shall we pick the bamboo shoots first or rest first?!” Luo Cheng asked as he watched Li Xiaoran rush into the valley happily.
“I’m not tired yet. Let’s go break the spring bamboo shoots first! I like the feeling of harvesting good things from nature!” Li Xiaoran said excitedly.
Since Li Xiaoran had said so, Luo Cheng simply brought her to the bamboo forest.
It had to be said that the bamboo shoots in the valley were really fresh.
Because no one came to pick the bamboo shoots, they could see cute bamboo shoots standing erect as soon as they walked into the bamboo forest.
Li Xiaoran was overjoyed. She quickly put down the basket and went to pick the bamboo shoots.
After the excitement passed, Li Xiaoran turned around to see that the basket she had brought was already filled with a large pile of bamboo shoots.
Luo Cheng’s basket was also filled with bamboo shoots.
Not far away, there were still many bamboo shoots on the ground.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “There are so many bamboo shoots. It’s more than enough for us to eat! However, it’s too tiring to carry these things back. Husband, let’s peel the bamboo shoots here and bring them back!”
“Sure!” Luo Cheng nodded, then went to get a felt cloth and spread it on the ground.
“Come, sit here. We’ll talk as we peel the bamboo shoots!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and went to Luo Cheng’s side with the basket on her back.
Both of them carried daggers with them, so they took them out to peel bamboo shoots.
It had to be said that peeling bamboo shoots felt very fun.
They cut the bamboo shoots with a dagger and rolled the outer shell with their hands. Soon, the shell was peeled off, revealing the tender bamboo shoots inside.
“Last time, I wanted to tell you my background, but I was delayed, so I called you to the valley today to tell you about my background without being disturbed!” Luo Cheng suddenly said.
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in surprise and immediately understood. She didn’t speak, but put down the bamboo shoot in her hand and listened attentively.
Facing Li Xiaoran’s clear eyes, Luo Cheng had a lot to say, but he couldn’t say anything for a moment.
Too many things had happened over the years.
He wanted to confide in her, but he couldn’t bring himself to confess.
Li Xiaoran sensed Luo Cheng’s emotions, so she asked, “Then tell me about the little boy locked in the ice cave first!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran mention this, he calmed down and said slowly.
“I was deceived. The other party said that he was a relative of my family and wanted to see me. At that time, I was too eager for a relative to appear in my life, so I believed him! After that, just as you saw in your dream, I was lured into a cave filled with ice. There, I was abandoned there. I was very helpless and desperate. In the end, I felt very tired, so I curled up in the corner and slowly fell asleep!”
At this point, Luo Cheng smiled sarcastically.
“Perhaps the heavens felt that I wasn’t destined to die, but I was saved by someone. And the person who saved me was my mentor who taught me all my current skills!”
Li Xiaoran could sense the despair and helplessness Luo Cheng felt when he was locked in an ice cave. No wonder she saw him curled up and motionless after she entered Luo Cheng’s dream.
He must have been unconscious at that time.
“It’s also for this reason that the cold poison in my body flares up from time to time. Every time it flares up, I dream of that time when I was freezing in the ice cave, and my entire body turns cold. My master thought of many ways and found many prescriptions for me, but in the end, he couldn’t eradicate the poison in my body.. He only refined some pills to prevent the poison from injuring my eight meridians when it flares up, allowing me to recover from the poison faster!”
