The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 232 Feeding Little Mochou

Wu Chengyu searched Xiao Mochou's boudoir and quickly found some writing brushes, ink, and paper nearby, as well as Xiao Mochou's handwriting from her studies.

Wu Chengyu glanced through it casually and found that the little girl's handwriting was quite good. Although it was a bit immature, it was very neat and elegant.

It seems that Lin Chaoying's disciples still valued their cultural level. After all, if you want to understand the secret manual and grasp its mysteries, you can't do it without being cultured.

Modern people and ancient people use words and construct sentences very differently. The same words can also undergo semantic shifts after hundreds or thousands of years of evolution.

If Wu Chengyu hadn't obtained his predecessor's memories and the martial arts foundation he had built on Peach Blossom Island, he probably wouldn't have been able to understand most of the secret manuals he had obtained from the Murong family, even though Wu Chengyu had received higher education in his previous life.

Wu Chengyu casually flipped through a few pages and soon smiled. One of the papers read: "Honey-roasted sparrows, fragrant and sweet, delicious."

Thirteen-spice roasted sparrow, it smells delicious all day long. And the dogwood roasted sparrow, so spicy, Mochou's lips were swollen, but she still wanted to eat it.

This handsome villain's grilled food smells amazing, but why is it always sparrows? Can't he grill something else?
He's caught all the sparrows near the Tomb of the Living Dead! What am I going to do? I still need to practice the Heavenly Net Formation. This villain is handsome, but he's just too wicked.

It's clear that when Xiao Mochou was writing these things, she must have been drooling and gnashing her teeth in frustration. Although we can't witness it firsthand, it must have been incredibly adorable.

Wu Chengyu is growing increasingly fond of this little girl. He has gained so much from this trip to the ancient tomb that he feels he should give something back. Although most of the gains came from Wang Chongyang, Wu Chengyu doesn't accept his gratitude and plans to send the return gift to Xiao Mochou instead.

He picked up a piece of paper and wrote a few words: "Meet me at the usual place at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow. This time, I won't eat sparrows. I'll get you something good to eat. Don't let your master and the others know."

You absolutely have to come! I've prepared a gift for you, and if you don't come, you might never see me again.

After writing it, he slipped the note next to Xiao Mochou's pillow, hoping she would see it when she woke up in the morning and keep the appointment on time; otherwise, the return gifts wouldn't go to Xiao Mochou.

Having explored the entire Tomb of the Living Dead, Wu Chengyu found nothing of interest except for the Jade Bed. He then turned and went to the burial chamber where he had entered the ancient tomb, crawled into the coffin, put it back in its place, and left the Tomb of the Living Dead through the underground passage.

Two days later, Wu Chengyu arrived near the ancient tomb early. He had even gone down the mountain once to prepare many things for today.

As the saying goes, girls should be raised in luxury. Li Mochou was raised in poverty from a young age and had little worldly experience, which is why she fell in love with Wu Chengyu, that scumbag nephew, at first sight.

Although Wu Chengyu had made proper arrangements for Lu Zhanyuan, he couldn't help the fact that there are always thousands of scumbags in any world, including himself.

So Wu Chengyu decided to make up for this lesson for Xiao Mochou and painstakingly prepared three gifts, which was similar to Yang Guo's birthday celebration for Xiao Guoxiang. He was just imitating Yang Guo's approach. As it turned out, Yang Guo's method worked quite well, and Guo Xiang never recovered from that experience.

When Chenshi (7-9 AM) arrived, Wu Chengyu was not worried at first because he did not see Xiao Mochou. Sure enough, after a while, a small figure quietly appeared, tiptoed over, and hid behind a tree to observe.

"Since you're here, hurry up and come over. Do you think I can't see you by hiding so obviously?" Last time, it seemed to be an eagle hiding behind the tree.

"You're the bad guy, you're the one who hurt Master. I don't want to talk to you."

"Whose voice is that if you don't want to talk? Your master is fine, just coughing up blood. He'll get used to it after a while. I have some good food here, why don't you come over?"

"You're definitely lying. You didn't even light a fire today, so there's no good food to eat."

Wu Chengyu held up the food box he had brought and said, "Aren't you tired of eating roast meat all the time? There are things in this world that taste better than roast meat."

"Really?" Little Mochou's mouth watered instantly. After hesitating for a moment, she ran over on her short legs. The food box was large, with two layers. It contained ingredients that Wu Chengyu had bought when he went down the mountain, and he had made it himself in the kitchen of Chongyang Palace.

Wu Chengyu opened the first layer, which contained eight small dishes, each containing a type of pastry, and each pastry was exquisitely presented.

"Come on, look, this is osmanthus cake, this is mung bean cake, this is golden thread roll, this is egg yolk pastry, this is pea flour cake, this is jujube paste cake, and these two, one is a flower cake made with fresh flowers, and the other has a very funny name, called 'Donkey Roll'."

Xiao Mochou's eyes lit up. She had grown up in the ancient tomb and had never been down the mountain. Granny Sun's cooking was mediocre, and her master never cooked. So she had never seen or even heard of such exquisite food.

Now that Wu Chengyu didn't need to urge her, Xiao Mochou used both hands to hurriedly stuff the water into her mouth. If Wu Chengyu hadn't prepared a gourd of water in advance, she probably would have choked half to death on the spot. Even so, her cheeks were bulging, and her eyes were full of happiness.

"Don't rush, they're all yours. Try a little of everything first, and you can take the rest home. There's another layer underneath, even tastier than desserts."

Wu Chengyu opened the second food box, which contained three dishes and a soup: braised lion's head meatballs, stir-fried river shrimp, and braised pork belly in a rich, dark sauce. The soup was duck blood and vermicelli soup. These were all delicacies from the Jiangnan region, something this little girl had never even seen before.

"Wow!" the little girl exclaimed repeatedly, and then she cried again, but it was tears of happiness. She had never been so happy before.

Wu Chengyu gave her a bowl and chopsticks, but the little girl didn't even bother to look up. She used the chopsticks with great speed, but unfortunately, she only ate less than a fifth of each dish before her little belly became completely swollen and she couldn't eat anymore.

She touched her stomach, her eyes fixed on the remaining dishes and snacks, and kept saying regretfully, "Mochou's stomach is too small, I can't eat anymore, but I still want to eat, what should I do?"

Wu Chengyu closed the food box under Xiao Mochou's reluctant gaze, then personally placed it next to Xiao Mochou before she felt relieved.

"You bad guy, thank you for treating me to such delicious food. Mochou is so happy, thank you."

"You've already thanked me, and you're still calling me a bad guy?"

"But, but, you hurt Master, so you're a bad person. Master has also said that all men are bad people."

"Then I'm not happy. I'm taking this food box with me."

As soon as she spoke, Wu Chengyu made a move to take the food box, and Xiao Mochou immediately hugged the food box to her chest.

"Then, I won't call you a bad person anymore, but if I don't call you a bad person, what should I call you?"

"From now on, call me Brother Chengyu, okay?"

"Okay, I'll remember that. Bad guy Chengyu, the really handsome bad guy Chengyu."

Thank you, brother, for the gift you prepared for me today. I love it so much! It's getting late, and Master will call me after his healing is finished, so I'll head back now.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Mochou tried to sit up with difficulty, still reluctant to put down the food box.

How could Wu Chengyu let her eat and run away? He smiled and said, "Who told you that food is a gift? I've prepared three gifts for you today. Are you sure you want to leave now?"
