Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 25
byBraised goose in iron pot
An Xiaoyu’s method of substituting one thing for another is to make a fake Dragon King statue that is enough to look like the real one. On a dark and windy night, he climbs up Longyin Slope, sneaks into the Dragon King Temple, and quietly replaces the real Dragon King statue.
Of course, An Xiaoyu’s original words did not include the words “night is dark and the wind is high”, “slip”, “secretly”, etc. These words were added by Anle himself.
“To do bad things, there must be an atmosphere of doing bad things. The sky must be dark and the movements must be sneaky!” Anle once again reiterated his principle of doing bad things as a matter of course.
This time, An Xiaoyu also nodded deeply in agreement: “This time we really can’t let anyone discover it.”
“But, An Xiaoyu, I didn’t expect you to make Buddha statues.” On the way home, Anle was deeply impressed by An Xiaoyu’s versatility.What kind of person is An Xiaoyu? He is just good at both civil and military skills, but he can also do handicrafts. Does the six arts of a gentleman include kneading mud?
An Xiaoyu is not a mermaid, but Doraemon, who is omnipotent.
An Le was secretly surprised when he heard An Xiaoyu say in an innocent tone: “I don’t know how. I just know that such a tall Buddha statue should have a skeleton in the middle to support it, but I don’t know about the rest.”
“…” An Le was speechless for a long time, and then asked An Xiaoyu with an unspeakable expression: “If you don’t know how to do it, how can we steal it?”
An Xiaoyu blinked: “The village chief’s meeting, it shouldn’t be difficult to learn.”
“Are you going to study?” An Le pointed at An Xiaoyu with his index finger and asked.
An Xiaoyu turned An Le’s wrist, pointed at An Le, and said, “Go ahead. The village chief is very clear-sighted. I always feel like I’m being ignored in front of him, so I try not to appear in front of him.”
“You have a guilty conscience,” An Le shrugged, “Okay, I’ll learn it. But if I learn it, I don’t know when I’ll be able to learn it. I’m very clumsy.”
“It’s okay,” An Xiaoyu said with a smile, “You just need to learn it briefly and come back and tell me how to do it. The Dragon King will do it like me.”
When they got home, it was already dark, and it was already past the normal dinner time, so the two of them didn’t bother An’s father and An’s mother to have dinner anymore, and lit a fire to cook in the kitchen at home.
The aroma of stewed meat wafted out from the iron pot on the stove. Anle squinted his eyes and smelled the aroma of meat and charcoal fire. He added more firewood to the stove: “An Xiaoyu, your cooking skills have improved.”
A smile appeared in An Xiaoyu’s eyes, and he stirred the goose meat in the iron pot and said, “Sister Moli said that some medicinal materials can be used as condiments for stewed meat. I asked my mother for some.”
“Ah woo~” An Xiaojin meowed. The cry of the young wolf was not as powerful as that of the adult wolf, but had a cat-like accent.An Xiaojin jumped up and down at the feet of the two of them, as if he wanted to jump on the stove.
An Le gently poked An Xiaojin with a long thin wooden branch, and said with a smile: “An Xiaojin, don’t worry, I will ask my mother to get another big goose for you to play with tomorrow.”
An Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Xiao Jin has been chased all over the yard by the goose all day long. Just let him live a peaceful life for two days.”
“How can that be done?” Anle disagreed, “I have been living so comfortably that I forgot that I am a wolf. Look, it has only been a few days and he has been playing with the dogs in the village. The dogs are braver than him. He is even afraid of a goose and can’t catch a chicken. He doesn’t want to starve to death when he returns to the forest in the future.”
In order to prevent An Xiaojin from losing his wild nature, Anle specially asked for a goose to train An Xiaojin’s wild survival ability.The effect was remarkable. An Xiaojin lived in fear of being pecked by geese all day long. After a few days, his evasion skills were top-notch, but his hunting ability… was zero.
Whenever An Xiaojin is chased by a goose, An Le, who is leisurely drinking milk tea and swinging, will loudly command An Xiaojin: “An Xiaojin! Don’t be a coward! Pounce on it and bite it! If it is bitten to death, we will eat the goose stewed in an iron pot today!”
Ever since Anle invited this chubby goose home, he had been thinking about having a meal of goose stewed in an iron pot.At first, Anle had full confidence in An Xiaojin. He felt that as a wolf, even a wolfdog, An Xiaojin still had the blood of a ferocious wolf. It would be easy to kill a goose, so he was always ready to stew the goose.However, after many days passed, Anle discovered in despair that An Xiaojin, apart from being curious about the goose when they first met and teasing him twice, ended up having several of its feathers pecked off by the goose. After escaping for a day, he never dared to provoke the goose again. Instead, he was unable to fight back against the goose’s daily pursuit and revenge.
An Le thought, An Xiaojin might not be able to eat the goose stewed in an iron pot that he had been dreaming about.
It is better to rely on fish than to rely on wolves.
After a hard day’s work, I was hungry and in urgent need of a delicious meal. When I returned home, I happened to see the plump goose walking in the yard, so I waved my hand: “An Xiaoyu! Stew it!”
So An Xiaojin’s training props, or rivals, became a pot of delicious meat.
Free-range geese are indeed fragrant, with firm meat, moderate fat, and delicious taste. No wonder the natural ones are so expensive.After the meal, Anle lay on the deck chair in the yard, squinting his eyes and touching his full belly with satisfaction.
An Xiaojin jumped on the pile of firewood, stretched out his neck, and howled “ah ah ah ah” at the bright moon in the sky.
“An Xiaojin,” Anle waved to An Xiaojin, “Come here, stop meowing, it’s time to disturb the neighbors to sleep.”
Although An Xiaojin’s cry was milky and low-pitched, the night was quiet and there were several families living around Anle. It was already the time for most people to go to bed.
Hearing An Le’s call, An Xiaojin immediately stopped howling, jumped off the firewood pile, and ran towards An Le. He propped up his short legs, jumped onto the lounge chair, and hugged An Le in all directions.
“Hey, dirty, don’t come up, I just changed into clothes.” An Le pushed An Xiaojin’s dirty paws away while protecting the clean pajamas she had just changed into.When An Xiaoyu was killing the goose, Anle gave An Xiaojin a bath, but the village was full of dirt, and his paws were dirty again after running around on the ground twice.
An Xiaojin was pushed to the ground, his brows lowered in grievance and he let out a low groan.
Anle rubbed the wolf’s head lovingly and comforted her softly: “I also want to hang out with you, but there is no washing machine here. It’s very tiring to wash clothes. Don’t tire An Xiaoyu out. Let’s play again tomorrow, be good.”
“It doesn’t matter,” just as he was saying this, he saw An Xiaoyu coming out of the backyard after taking a bath. He was also wearing plain pajamas, wiping his hair. He walked towards one person and one wolf, and said, “Just change when you get dirty. There are several sets of pajamas. You can change into two in one day.”
“It’s so tiring. It’s one less thing to wash. Oh, by the way,” An Le suddenly pointed An Xiaojin’s forehead with his index finger seriously and said, “You must not sneak into bed tonight! Your dirty paw prints are all on the quilt.”
An Xiaojin didn’t know whether he understood or not. He just stared at the hand pointing at An Le with his big round eyes, and stretched out his head to rub An Le’s hand.
He didn’t understand it at first glance. Anle sighed and said, “You must lock the door to sleep tonight. Why don’t you change the bed sheets and quilt covers every day?”
An Xiaoyu hummed without comment, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled: “Mom also said, let’s be more restrained.”
“Huh? What are you restraining?” Anle asked curiously.
An Xiaoyu glanced at Anle and said calmly: “Mom said, indulgence in sexual activities will harm your body.”
“…” Anle understood in an instant, and blushed reflexively. He coughed twice in embarrassment and said, “Didn’t you tell mother that it was An Xiaojin who soiled the sheets?”
“I told you,” An Xiaoyu said.
An Le was about to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that his reputation was finally saved, but he heard An Xiaoyu say in a nonchalant manner: “But Mom didn’t seem to believe it, and she gave me…um…a lot of ointment, so I shouldn’t be embarrassed to ask her for it, otherwise I’d be easily injured.”
“Ointment? What to do?” Anle was stunned and asked in confusion.
An Xiaoyu glanced at Anle, shrugged and said, “I don’t know, I’m too embarrassed to ask. But I guess it should be used for sex. My mother also gave me two boxes the day before the wedding.”
It took Anle two seconds to realize what An Xiaoyu was saying. He opened his eyes wide, stayed blank for a while, and then suddenly turned his head.After looking at An Xiaoyu for a while, he suddenly winked slyly, leaned forward and whispered in An Xiaoyu’s ear: “Hey, do you know how two men… um… what?”
In the previous life, Anle knew no one who was gay, and had never paid attention to these things. He only vaguely knew about it, but at this time, An Xiaoyu reminded him, and he suddenly became curious.
Anle looked at An Xiaoyu with burning eyes, full of desire to explore the mystery and desire for answers.Under the cold moonlight, Xiaoyu’s ears suddenly turned red, and even his cheeks turned red.
“Hey, do you know?” Seeing An Xiaoyu pursed her lips and remained motionless, Anle couldn’t help but poked An Xiaoyu’s arm and urged.
“Cough–” An Xiaoyu coughed dryly, his face even redder. After a while, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression, he said, “No, I don’t know.”
“Well, it seems like you haven’t been in contact with him before, so I’m quite curious.” Anle sat back down, feeling slightly disappointed, and touched his chin and thought for a while.Before he could figure out the result, he suddenly heard An Xiaoyu say in an unnatural tone: “Before we got married, I went to Sister Moli’s house to learn how to cook. One day, Sister Moli gave me a… um… picture book… but I didn’t read it.”
“Oh?” Anle’s eyes lit up and he asked with full expectation, “Could it be…”
“But, it’s possible. Cough–” An Xiaoyu’s voice stuttered, and he made a fist with his hand, put it against his mouth and coughed a few times.
Rather than being curious about the picture book, what interested Anle more was An Xiaoyu’s reaction at the moment.During this time, I wonder if An Xiaoyu’s face has become thicker and thicker. He rarely sees An Xiaoyu blush.So, seeing An Xiaoyu’s shy look again, An Le suddenly became playful. He leaned back slightly, crossed his arms, looked at An Xiaoyu up and down with slightly squinted eyes, and said leisurely with a smirk on his lips: “An Xiaoyu, you really didn’t notice?”
“No, no.” An Xiaoyu said immediately. After speaking, he paused for a moment, tilted his head to one side, as if avoiding Anle’s sight, and said in a very low voice, “When I first received it, I opened it… and took a look.”
“Hehehe,” An Le smiled maliciously, her voice rising, “An Xiaoyu, you’ve learned a lot.”
An Xiaoyu was about to retort, but he saw Anle suddenly came closer and grabbed his neck, smiling and saying: “Where is it? We promised to share the blessings together, how can you watch it behind my back?”
“I, I didn’t read it!” After a long while, An Xiaoyu suppressed these three words with a blushing face. It seemed that reading this kind of painting was an insult to his noble character.
“Hey~ Why are you so shy~ You are a young man~ This is normal.” Anle smiled weirdly and blinked, “Hey, where are they? Is it a man and a man? How come Sister Jasmine has two men’s… um… picture book.”
An Xiaoyu’s body was stiff and motionless as An Le held him cross-body. He lowered his eyes and said, “It’s not from Sister Moli. Sister Moli said that Brother Xiaotong asked for it from someone else…”
“Others? Gee, they brought this kind of picture book with them when they moved here. Did they also have homosexuals at that time? Hey, wait?! Is it a world where homosexuality is legal outside? No, if homosexuality was common before they moved here, why don’t they have any homosexual couples here? There are no same-sex couples recorded in the genealogy. There is no record of homosexuality in the books they brought from outside…”
An Le associated the abnormal picture book with the outside world and thought about several possibilities, but none of them made sense. Finally, he shook his head and shook these speculations out of his mind, returned to the topic, and whispered in An Xiaoyu’s ear: “Hey, where is it?”
While An Le was thinking, An Xiaoyu seemed to have calmed down a bit, the blush on his face faded, he glanced sideways at An Le and said in a calm tone: “Do you really want to see it?”
“Don’t you want to see it?” Anle flashed his eyes and asked, “Aren’t you curious? I can’t figure out how two men… um… did that.”
An Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and remained silent, as if he was struggling internally. After a while, he honestly admitted: “Curious.”
An Le chuckled, with an expression that showed he had known this before, patted An Xiaoyu’s shoulder, left the recliner, and said, “Let’s go for a walk and learn more.”
