"Ah Lu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old man gave Xia Qing another chopsticks and vegetables, "And my apprentice." It's also ignorant, and I'll have to trouble you in the future. ”
Ah Lu put down his chopsticks and looked at Xia Qing, who was immersed in eating vegetables, and his eyes were only slitted with a smile.
She gestured, making a muzzling sound as she gestured to her mouth.
The old man nodded as he watched.
"Yes, if your daughter hadn't died, she would have been as old as Xia Qing. ”
"Ahem.... Ahem, ahem, ahem....."
The rice that had just been stuffed into her mouth choked Xia Qing, and she couldn't stop coughing.
Die young...... daughter?
Does Ah Lu still have such a pitiful past?
Xia Qing coughed while thinking about it, coughing so heartbreaking that her face turned red.
Ah Lu was quick-eyed, and immediately poured Xia Qing a glass of water and handed it to her.
Xia Qing took the water and drank it violently. The feeling of coughing gradually disappeared.
"Thank you. ”
She put down the cup in her hand and thanked Ah Lu.
The latter was looking at her lovingly, and when he heard her thanks, he shook his head lightly and gestured again.
Xia Qing couldn't understand sign language, she looked at the old man Hua suspiciously.
"She asks you, are you feeling better now. ”
"I'm much better, thank you. ”
Hearing Xia Qing's answer, Ah Lu was relieved, she picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Xia Qing.
In fact, Xia Qing doesn't like to eat this kind of fishy food. But looking at Ah Lu, whose face was full of love and expectation, she didn't dare to refuse.
"Hmm...... Very tasty. ”
Hearing Xia Qing's praise, Ah Lu smiled even more happily, the chopsticks in his hand no longer picked up vegetables for himself, and every chopstick was put into Xia Qing's bowl, especially most of the bowl of fish and meat was almost in Xia Qing's bowl.
"Look, how good Ah Lu is to you, so many dishes are given to you to eat, you hurry up and eat more. Don't let Green spoil the fun. ”
"Yes..... I'll eat more..... Thank you so much....."
Xia Qing wanted to cry without tears, looking at such an enthusiastic Ah Lu, she had no choice at all.
After all, it's a piece of Ah Lu's heart, and it's too unreasonable not to eat.
Fish, OK, eat.
Shrimp, OK, peeled, eaten.
Eggs, OK, knock open, eat.
Xia Qing's bowl was slowly piled up into a hill, and she didn't eat as fast as Ah Lu.
"Aunt Green..... Eat more yourself..... You worked so hard to eat a few chopsticks yourself. That's not a big deal. ”
Xia Qing said as she tried her best to give the old man Hua a look for help. This guy looked at her embarrassed by Ah Lu's enthusiasm, and even had a smile on his lips.
It's not interesting!
"Ah Lu, you can eat it yourself, Xia Qing can't eat so much, it's too wasteful for her. ”
Old man Hua may have laughed enough, and finally came out of his "mouth" to save him.
Ah Lu looked at the small "mountain" in Xia Qing's bowl, and finally gave up and stopped serving Xia Qing vegetables.
Under Ah Lu's warm hospitality, Xia Qing's dinner, which can be worth three meals, is finally over.
After the meal, she took the initiative to take over the work of washing the dishes, and if she ate so much, if she didn't move, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
However, her actions seemed to Ah Lu to be a manifestation of diligence, so Ah Lu praised her even more, and kept gesturing to the old man Hua, praising Xia Qing for being a good boy, and it was the blessing of the old man to have such a closed disciple.
Of course, none of these Xia Qing knew. Because at that time, she was carrying a basket of dishes and chopsticks to the lake to wash.
At this point, it's getting late.
The topography of Miaojiang determines the beauty of the scenery of this place.
On a clear night, there are too many stars in the sky to count.
In the past, when Xia Qing practiced dancing all night on the roof of the Drunken Immortal Building, there were many stars in the sky, and she often looked up and counted the stars with Xia He and Xia He when they were resting. Xia He told her that the stars in the sky are changed by the souls of the dead on the earth, so you can make any wish to the stars, and if you can't be heard by the stars, they will fulfill it for you.
At that time, Xia Qing's wish was very simple, she wanted to win the competition and make Xia He happy.
Star did grant her wish and get her victory in that match, but it also came at a great cost, and Star took Natsuho with her.
"Master, are you listening to me, there are too many stars here, I can't find which one you are, but I want to make a wish to you, I want to go back to the Drunken Immortal Building as soon as possible, I want to see Zizi, see Simo, see Mei Niang, I even want to see Hehuan......."
Xia Qing immersed her feet in the lake, and the cool lake water gently caressed her feet, and the sorrow and anxiety in her heart were slowly smoothed out by the lake. She propped her hands on the ground and looked up at the starry sky.
The stars in the sky flickered and dimmed, and on the huge curtain of night, each one was an actor, staging a wonderful scene for the people on the earth.
She squinted slightly, enjoying the quiet moment.
"Our holy lake in Miaojiang, you actually used it to soak your feet?"
Just as Xia Qing was about to fall asleep comfortably, a rough male voice sounded in his ears.
The grass sank down beside her, and a man sat down next to her.
"The Holy Lake?"
Xia Qing opened his eyes and looked sideways at the person.
This man's voice was very familiar, and she always felt like she had heard it somewhere.
"Yes, this is the holy lake that has blessed our Miao Jiang for generations. The man wore a dark blue turban, his face hidden in the night, hazy, "It is the patron saint of our Miao Jiang, for so many years, it is the only one, and it has not been abandoned by our Miao Jiang for generations." ”
"We ..... I've never seen your face, but your voice ..... It's familiar. ”
Xia Qing lifted his feet from the lake, since this is a holy lake, it is not good to do so.
"yes, you have a good memory, we've met. I've seen it during the day, Miss Foreigner. ”
The man turned his head, and a terrible scar on the left side of his face turned his handsome face hideous.
"Are you........ That Ah Yu?"
Xia Qing frowned, she was blindfolded during the day, and she didn't see everything in the Void Forest, but she only heard some discordant sounds.
For example, Ah Yu, who has been staring at her at the moment.
"Miss Foreigner, you are very powerful, you remember my voice so well. Oh yes, I remember the name so well. ”
A smile spread across the man's face, "You're so beautiful." It's very similar, the people of the Western Regions. At that time you were blindfolded and did not see your face...... But it's not too late to see it. ”
"Oh, that's it. Actually, I think the saint is much more beautiful than me. You can praise her more. ”
Xia Qing is a person who holds grudges.
During the day, this Ah Yu made it difficult for them in every way, and now he talked to her like this, which made her want to hurt him even more.
A stingy and lustful man. Xia Qing had already labeled Ah Yu in her heart.
"The beauty of the Holy Maiden is obvious to all of us in Miaojiang, how can we .......praise her beauty casually?"
Ah Yu's eyes kept looking at Xia Qing's face, and he didn't forget to stare even when he spoke.
Xia Qing was uncomfortable stared at by him, and she couldn't help but interrupt Ah Yu's words,
"You seem to know how to be humble, but I really didn't hear it during the day. I'm sorry, but I still haven't been with you. ”
She picked up the basket beside her, stood up and walked back.
followed Qu Ziyan and Mochen, the two demons, and didn't learn anything else, but she learned this kind of ability to use language to satirize and sarcastic people.
Ah Yu didn't seem to be angry because of Xia Qing's impoliteness, he sat in place, looking at Xia Qing's thin back as he walked away, with a smile on his lips, "What a clever little girl...... It's funny. ”
"My lord, Elder Qi came to you and said that the Holy Maiden was making trouble. “
A man walked out of the shadows, stood beside Ah Yu and said respectfully.
"It's really worry-free to make trouble as soon as you come back...... Take me there. ”
Ah Yu's face darkened, he stood up easily, and patted the dust on his clothes, "By the way, find someone to check the details of that girl." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The night is getting darker and deeper.
