Dou Po: Rebirth of Furukawa, start strategy of Yun Yun

Chapter 53 The beautiful little rabbit proposes to visit the flower house

After Gu He left a message for Yun Yun, he took Nalan Yanran, who quickly changed her clothes, out of the sect.

Neither of them wore the sect's clothing with the Caiyun Sword printed on it.

At the foot of the mountain, the crowds were bustling, as numerous as weaving threads, and the cries of vendors kept coming and going.

"Jianbing fruit, pancake fruit——"

"Take a walk and take a look..."

Nalan Yanran swung her pink clothes around the ancient river like a little peach blossom.

Suddenly, she stopped next to a small stall.

"Furuhe, it's the little rabbit!"

Furukawa was a little surprised that Nalan Yanran didn't call him elder. He looked towards where she pointed, which was a stall making glutinous rice cakes.

The female stall owner was cutting glutinous rice cakes with a machine, and on the small table in her stall, there was a large hollow wooden box containing rabbit-shaped glutinous rice cakes with bright eyes made of red beans.

Yanran asked, "Is this rabbit brown sugar glutinous rice cake?"

The stall owner's eyes were sharp, and he could tell something from Nalan Yanran's clothes at a glance, and said,
"This is a template you are talking about. It is not edible. If you want it to be in the shape of a rabbit, I can provide the materials for you two to make it."

"I'll help you two steam them as much as you want."

Furukawa stepped forward and threw a bag of gold coins.

There were probably dozens of gold coins in the bag. The stall owner smiled brightly and took out his glutinous rice flour, fried peanuts and sesame seeds, etc., and placed them on the table for the guests to eat for Furukawa and Yanran.

The two sat down.

Furukawa looked at a series of equipment and materials and asked with a little heaviness,

"Yanran, can you make glutinous rice cakes?"

Nalan Yanran was stunned, "Well... just wrap the stuffing in dough to make a little rabbit... right?"

She stared at the ground with her eyes, looking a little silly.

Furukawa almost couldn't help but smile. After cleaning his hands, he took out a small ball of brown sugar glutinous rice noodles, rolled it into a ball and pressed it into a cake shape, then added the fillings and cooked as he went.
"Follow me and do it."

Yanran nodded and imitated little by little.

……

Finally, two round, off-white little rabbits were freshly baked. After Yanran sprinkled coconut powder, she carefully added two pairs of red bean eyes to them. For a moment, she looked a little reluctant to eat them.

"Silly girl, if you don't eat it, it will harden!"

The two rabbit-shaped glutinous rice cakes together were as big as a man's hand, and their four legs were stained with stamen juice——

It actually looks a bit like dark cuisine.

But this was done by the two of them with their own hands. Furukawa took one bite and killed off the rabbit's ears.

To be honest, it's dry, but also a little sweet and soft.

Nalan Yanran opened a pair of cat-like almond eyes, which were wide open, and the pink lips on her snow-white face were very conspicuous.

"One mouthful and one ear?"

Furukawa looked at Nuomi Rabbit and couldn't help but nodded.

Just when he thought Nalan Yanran was soft-hearted about the dim sum coming from their hands,

A wind blade flashed from Yanran's fingertips. Before the wind passed, the rabbit's head was severed.

Revealing the black sesame filling inside.

Nalan Yanran took a hard bite, her tone was unknowingly bitter, like cutting open a sour grapefruit,
"I liked rabbits when I was a kid, so I asked my guard uncle to catch one and keep it in a cage."

"Later, my grandfather found out. He was very angry and said that these 'things' would delay my cultivation and make me lose interest in playing with things. He killed the rabbit in front of me."

In my memory, the fluffy snow-white rabbit seems to be still in my hand.

Dots of warm animal blood were sprinkled on her face, showing confusion in her coquettishness.Since then, she has been practicing hard, as if she had lost her goal, but she found an excuse to head straight in a certain direction.

Later, she accidentally got the favor of Yun Yun, the leader of Yunlan Sect, and became her direct disciple, and her cultivation became more and more advanced.

Nalan Yanran took another bite of glutinous rice cakes, her tone filled with complex nostalgia,
"I cried for a long time at that time and was sulking for almost a month. But looking back now, it doesn't matter whether it's a rabbit or not..."

"...I can't go back to the past."

With a dazed look in her eyes, she finished the snack in her hand bit by bit.

It's sweet, choking, and delicious.

Furukawa cut open the part of his glutinous rice cake that he had eaten, and handed a rabbit without rabbit ears to Nalan Yanran.
"Do you want?"

Yanran chuckled,
"I'm full already, Koga!"

She did not refuse the glutinous rice cakes. She took a bite after taking it, chewed up the sweetness, licked the corners of her lips, and said after a long time,
"So now I've learned to look forward."

"Do you know? The moment I defeated Xiao Yan, it felt so good!" Yan Ranqiao smiled and turned her head, and the sweetness of the dessert seemed to flow into her heart and sway on her face.

At this moment, she was very close to Furukawa.

Furukawa looked at her smile and the way the tassel accessories on the back of her head swayed, and couldn't help but press her furry head into his arms.

he sighed,
"I can understand what you're saying...we're all alone."

"I didn't know who my parents were since I was a child. I was fostered in a kind-hearted person's home. Later, I stumbled and learned some knowledge about refining medicine. When I was older, I came to this imperial capital..."

"I have been wandering through the wind and rain for several years."

"Sometimes I also...have an indescribable feeling of loneliness, and I also think of my childhood."

Gu He's palm moved slightly and touched Nalan Yanran's cheek, feeling the warm tears.
"Why are you crying again?"

Yanran's whole little face was buried deeply, and she said,

"I made you sad..." Begging for forgiveness like a child who made a mistake.

"No way, it's just that we are all the same and can't help but say a few words." Furukawa said.

"Then...can you tell me more about yourself?" Nalan Yanran raised her little head, and the phthalo blue tassels on her temples swayed, resembling the ripples of lake water.

"Okay." Furukawa lost some of his calm airs, took her hand, and talked while walking,
"The city where I lived in my childhood was very small and remote. It was in the corner of the Jiama Empire. It was very poor..."

……

The two of them were wandering around and unknowingly came to a particularly lively street.

There are red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, which looks a bit festive.

Most of the people walking on the street are young and middle-aged men.

"Zuihong Pavilion, Hehuan Pavilion, Chunxue Pavilion, Piaoxiang Pavilion, Magnolia Pavilion..."

Nalan Yanran read out the names of the plaques on the streets and shops that she looked at one by one.

"Furuhe, what kind of store do they sell? The names are so elegant!"

"Zuihonglou...is it a restaurant for tea?"

Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with curiosity, her cheeks were pink, and she suddenly approached Furukawa and asked.

"Ok?"

Furukawa was stunned. He looked around and suddenly realized that they had accidentally walked into the most prosperous area of ​​the Imperial Capital!

Nalan Yanran didn't know where this was. How could he, a grown man, not know?
"Ahem, um, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back." Furukawa's voice was as usual, and there was no hint of panic.

Nalan Yanran pouted her little mouth, her eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction, and she was a little puzzled by Gu He's unexpected words.
"Why do you want to go back all of a sudden! Let's go shopping again~"

"How about... we go back after visiting this drunk red building?" She suggested sweetly while shaking Furukawa's arm.
