Chapter 18: Everything has a first time

After carrying these things back to Xiao's house, Xiao Yan greeted other disciples and walked towards the back mountain.

"Cousin, how long are we going to stay in the mountain?"

On the way, Xiao Ning was carrying a wild boar and asked Xiao Yan, who was carrying a cow. Xiao Yan raised his chin slightly and answered while thinking.

"Well, it depends on the situation. I will stay for three days for now. If there are no problems later, I should stay until the coming of age ceremony this year."

"Huh? Staying so long?!"

Xiao Ning looked surprised. You must know that this year's coming-of-age ceremony is still three months away.

"What's wrong, cousin Xiao Ning? What happened to you during this time?"

Xiao Yan looked at him doubtfully, Xiao Ning first glanced at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er who were far away from behind, and then said helplessly.

"I made an appointment at Ningchun Tower the day after tomorrow. I originally wanted you to go with me. I paid the deposit."

"."

Xiao Yan was speechless.

萧宁别的什么都好，就是爱玩，而且还贼心不死的想拉上自己，之前都被萧媚和萧薰儿揍成那副德行了还不长记性。

(We actually think you should take the initiative to go to that kind of place to have fun, so as to save yourself from encountering some women with good intentions who will deceive you in the future.)

Yao Shen teased Xiao Yan in his heart. Xiao Yan didn't know how to answer, so he simply pretended not to hear.

The children of the Xiao family followed Xiao Yan deep into the back mountain and soon reached the hot spring.

All the children of the Xiao family are familiar with this place. After all, they dug it out together when they were young.

"Okay, we have been training here for the past few days~" Xiao Yan threw the cow on his shoulders to the ground and looked sideways at everyone, "Put down all your things and do some physical exercise first."

The children of the Xiao family responded one after another. They usually do physical exercises every day. The only difference today is that the place is different.

But it feels good to change the training environment occasionally.

So next, under Xiao Yan's example, everyone started daily training in the open space next to the hot spring, which in Yao Shen's opinion was completely life-threatening, making Yao Shen in the ring couldn't help but sigh.

If the grudge factor is not considered, the young girls and boys of the Xiao family, headed by Xiao Yan, may not even be able to compare with the young talents of their original family.

Yao Shen never expected that this small Jia Ma Empire would have such a strange family.

No. Wrong.

Yao Chen turned his attention to Xiao Yan, who was training with everyone.

Strangely, Xiao Yan should be the only one, and the others were just led by Xiao Yan.

Everyone's physical exercise continued until noon. Xiao Yan glanced at the sun that had risen directly above his head, clapped his hands and told everyone to stop.

"That's it for the morning's training. I'm packing up the ingredients and getting ready to cook~"

"."

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone fell silent. Xiao Mei raised her hand and asked calmly.

"Um, cousin Xiao Yan, can you cook? In this wild place?"

"Not at all~"

Xiao Yan answered very frankly, and Xiao Ning suddenly came forward and pointed at the pile of ingredients.

"Then why did you buy such a thing and carry it to the back mountain? Can't we just go home and have dinner at noon and then come up here? Why do we have to go to the back mountain to train?" Xiao Ning asked three questions in a row, and Xiao Ning said Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly and said with a smile.

"There's always a first time for everything. You'll learn to cook by doing it in the wild."

"this"

"Besides, the coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. This training session is just for taking everyone for a final sprint. Occasionally, we can practice in a different environment. Maybe everyone can practice much faster~"

Seeing Xiao Yan's sunny smile, Xiao Ning also lost his temper and scratched his hair helplessly.

Xiao Ning then realized that Xiao Yan was actually a wild person, but his usually too calm personality was easy for people to ignore, otherwise he would not have mobilized everyone to go to the back mountain to dig for treasures when he was young.

"Well, since it's you who said it, we naturally have no objection."

Xiao Ning said this, and the others nodded, indicating that they were fine.

"Then let's allocate work now. Everyone speed up and don't delay the afternoon training."

Xiao Yan then assigned the tasks of lighting fires, collecting firewood, fetching water, and processing ingredients to everyone one by one. He and Xiao Ning squatted next to the cow with a kitchen knife.

"Cousin, how should I fix this thing?"

Xiao Ning took the kitchen knife and gestured back and forth on the cow, but he couldn't remove the knife for a long time.

I had never even touched a kitchen knife before, let alone dissected a whole cow.

Facing Xiao Ning's inquiry, Xiao Yan also frowned slightly.

Although there is an old saying that everything depends on the effort, but when faced with something you have never done before, you still have a headache about what to do.

At this time, the sound of medicine sinking sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.

(Yan Xiaozi, if you put your hand on the cow, you can feel the gaps between the bones as the Dou Qi travels along the cow's body. Just insert the knife into it. Cut all the gaps between the cow's bones and the dissection is complete. )

After hearing Yao Shen's instructions, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to caress the cow's body, and used fighting energy to extend within the body. Sure enough, as Yao Shen said, he could clearly detect the gaps in the bones, and pressed the tip of the knife against it. , it was cut without much effort.

(Senior Yao, you can even do anatomy.)

(In the past, when we were traveling alone, we had to find the materials we wanted ourselves, and I gradually learned how to do it.)

(I see.)

Xiao Yan understood in his heart, and then looked at Xiao Ning.

"Cousin Xiao Ning, put the fighting spirit into the cow's body. If you feel a gap, just use a kitchen knife to cut it along."

Xiao Ning followed the instructions and soon found the trick.

"Hehe~ It's quite fun, huh?"

The novel experience made Xiao Ning feel very interesting, and he gradually enjoyed it, and he and Xiao Yan concentrated on analyzing it.

Others were doing their own things in an orderly manner after Xiao Yan assigned work. Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er also sat with a few girls to choose vegetables.

It is always easier for girls to do this kind of thing than for boys, even Xiao Mei, who has a bad temper, is no exception.

"Cousin Xiao Yan can always come up with some weird things."

Xiao Mei complained while choosing vegetables, Xiao Xun'er on the side smiled slightly.

"Isn't this good? Just like Brother Xiao Yan said, changing the environment occasionally may really increase the speed of cultivation."

Xiao Xun'er said, looking at the hot spring intentionally or unintentionally, looking at the slightly green pool, thinking that Xiao Yan dragged everyone here to train together today, she had some guesses in her heart.

However, this is not important~

Xiao Xun'er turned her eyes and looked at Xiao Yan, who was squatting there and chopping beef, with a soft smile on her lips.

This experience is just like when Xiao Yan mobilized everyone to dig hot springs together when he was a child. It is an experience that his family would never have had, and it will definitely become an unforgettable memory in the future.

You must, enjoy it~
