Chapter 106 Lovesickness (2)
After the door was opened, three steep steps descended from the door. Lu Xiu stepped on them and landed on the ground. Ning Hua followed suit, stepped on them and landed in the commander's arms.
Lu Xiu smiled silently above her head and let go of Ning Hua. Ning Hua quickly stood up and smiled apologetically at Lu Xiu: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the steps are a bit slippery and I can't stand firmly."
Lu Xiu said "hmm" and signaled the guard to drive the aircraft away.
The two of them walked into the wooden house one after the other. Ning Hua looked around and felt that the wooden house was decorated very delicately. It looked like a wooden house from the outside, but inside, you couldn't tell it was made of wood at all.
There was a long wooden table in front of a few fabric sofas, and next to it was a floor lamp covered with a pleated paper cover. Not far away was a bar with all kinds of cups hanging on it, and behind it was a large wine rack filled with wine. Next to it was an open kitchen with a large grill on the floor.
At this moment, Lu Xiu was moving the grill outside to the center of the living room.
"Go into the kitchen and find a towel you can use and clean the grill."
"Oh, okay, Your Highness, I'll go right away." Ning Hua nodded and went into the kitchen to find a usable towel.
Lu Xiu walked to the door and turned on the power, then pressed the thermal switch of the closet. A crystal stone under the closet quickly began to turn red, emitting light and heat in all directions. From a distance, it looked like a fire.
Lu Xiu went around to a nearby utility room, found a snow shovel, and walked outside.
Ning Hua squatted on the floor of the living room and wiped the grill. While wiping, she looked at Lu Xiu through the wide open wooden door. She saw that Lu Xiu was holding a tool in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to clear the snow in the yard.
But that tool was very strange. She clearly saw that when Lu Xiu took it out, it was a wooden stick with a board one foot long and half a foot wide on the top. However, after it reached the yard, the board became several meters long. Lu Xiu pushed the board with one hand and walked forward a few steps. Immediately, a large area of snow was cleared in the yard.
So it didn't take long before the courtyard was almost cleared. Ning Hua secretly sighed that the commander was indeed an "absolute strong man" with great strength.
After Lu Xiu cleared the snow in the yard, he returned to the room and took out some tools. Ning Hua was curious and couldn't help but speed up the wiping process.
When Ning Hua finished cleaning the grill and walked to Lu Xiu's side, he saw a large round hole in front of Lu Xiu, with water exposed under the hole.
Ning Hua exclaimed: "Your Highness, why is there water underneath?"
Lu Xiu put his finger to his mouth and said "Shush", "Stop making noise."
Ning Hua shut up obediently and watched Lu Xiu's actions quietly.
Lu Xiu took off his coat and put it aside, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and held a dart-shaped knife in his hand with a small ball hanging at the end.
He observed the water for a while, threw down a handful of bait, and after about half a minute, he shot a few darts into the water, but the small ball at the end of the darts was still in his hand. The darts were shot towards the water with great force, and Lu Xiu then put the small ball into the water, and the darts were immediately sucked back. Lu Xiu reached out and scooped up a one-foot-long fish, with the end of a dart faintly visible on the fish.
Lu Xiu put the fish into a bucket beside him and asked Ning Hua, "Do you know how to kill fish?"
Ning Hua nodded: "Yes."
"Okay, then go clean this fish. We'll have this for dinner."
Ning Hua took the bucket and walked back to the wooden house. He looked back at Lu Xiu, who was still squatting by the water looking down.
Ning Hua was processing a fish in the kitchen. He cut open the fish's belly and found that the dart was completely expanded inside, forming an umbrella shape. Ning Hua pulled it but failed to pull it out. He was ready to use scissors to completely cut open the fish's body and take out the dart.
"Don't cut it. If you cut it too much, it won't look good when grilled." Lu Xiu took a fish in each hand and put them into the pool next to Ning Hua.
"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look good, as long as it tastes good."
Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Let me do it." Ning Hua quickly moved aside. Seeing Lu Xiu holding the fish body, he twisted the dart that was sticking out of the fish body. The small umbrella inside the fish's belly suddenly retracted. He pulled it gently, and the dart came out intact, leaving only a small round hole on the fish body.
"Go wash your hands and close the door outside. It will be warm in a while. I'll take care of this." Lu Xiu said as he cut open another fish.
Ning Hua came back after washing his hands and closing the door. He stood by the kitchen and watched Lu Xiu busying himself: "Your Highness, you just pushed the snow and fished, is your leg okay?"
"fine."
Ning Hua said "Oh" and asked again: "Where is this place? And why is the water surface on the top of the mountain?"
"This is a lake on the top of a mountain. I built a house on the lake because I liked the fish in the lake."
Ning Hua was surprised to find that the house was built on the lake. "So that's how it is."
