Chapter Twenty-Three: Too Slow
"What are you doing in a daze?" Shi Dingfeng picked up a celadon bowl and spooned a bowl of chicken soup.
"I thought...... With such a profound cultivation as the Ninth Master, there is no need to eat. Tian Xiang'er sneered, sat down hard, and quietly moved to the side, trying to stay away from him, who expected that as soon as she moved a little, she was held down by a big palm.
"Just sit here. Shi Dingfeng put the bowl of chicken soup in front of her, and his calm and relaxed appearance seemed to say that the weather was good today.
Tian Xiang'er felt that there was a layer of coercion around her, so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and secretly regretted in her heart, this person seemed to be good-tempered to her, protecting her everywhere, and letting her, but her speech and demeanor were cold and domineering, and she didn't give people room to resist at all! No, she had to let Wu Xing send her away as soon as possible! But thinking of what Wu Xing said, she couldn't make Jiu Ye angry, and she cried silently in her heart, did she really want to compromise?
"Drink the soup. Shi Dingfeng pushed her bowl.
"......" Tian Xiang'er silently picked up the bowl.
"Taste this, this, and this, these are all planted by Wu Xing in the elixir field, which is rich in spiritual energy and has a tonic effect on the body. Eat more. Shi Dingfeng didn't admit that he was holding the vegetables for her, Tian Xiang'er hadn't eaten a bite, and the dishes in the bowl had already been piled up into a hill.
“……”
"You can't just eat meat, you have to eat vegetables. You're still growing and can't be a picky eater. ”
“……”
Tian Xiang'er couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the chopsticks, drew a gourd in the same way, served him with vegetables and soup, and smiled sweetly: "Why don't you eat it, come, you can also taste this, this, and this." Your wound is not healed yet, but you must eat more meat and drink more soup to get better quickly. "Who wouldn't be attentive? She is the best! As long as he recovers sooner, she can slip away!
"......" just want to get rid of him?
Shi Dingfeng pushed the bowl in front of Tian Xiang'er in front of him, and said without any expression, "You also know that after the monks build the foundation, they will all open the valley, and I am naturally no exception." But you, why don't you take advantage of the lack of a foundation and taste all the delicacies in the world? When the foundation is built in the future, you can't eat it if you want to. ”
"......" Tian Xianger is petrified. As a foodie, his words simply pierced her heart.
"You try this jade lotus fragrant rice dew, which is guaranteed to be unforgettable, and this lotus leaf crystal shrimp is also a rare delicacy. ”
“……”
At the end of the meal, Tian Xiang'er could barely walk, rubbed her stomach, and walked in the palace to eat.
I scolded myself over and over again in my heart for being unproductive, why couldn't I control my mouth? I actually ate all the dishes on the table by myself...... It's really embarrassing! However, you can't blame her for being spineless, it's so delicious! Anyone who eats those dishes will probably move their index fingers and can't stop! I didn't expect Wu Xing's temper to be so stinky, and he actually made a good dish, which is really unseemly.
Before she knew it, she walked to the swing frame and climbed up to swing it.
Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the pool of blue water, and as she fell, the woman on the boulder seemed to be alive, sometimes running, sometimes spinning, sometimes smiling, sometimes contemplative...... It was a kaleidoscopic change, and after staring at her for a long time, she suddenly came back to her senses, what an evil sect, who is this woman? Why every time I see her, my heart beats so fast and fast, as if I know her...... Forget it, don't think about it, what does it have to do with her? She just needs to eat, drink, sleep, and have fun before the ninth master is injured, and she is too lazy to bother with anything else.
Shi Dingfeng walked out of the room, stood under the verandah with his hands in his hands, and looked at Tian Xiang'er with a lot of thoughts.
Hong Ningxiang likes to swing, and when he was a child, there was a swing frame in the garden of his house. At that time, he often sat on it, and she stood behind her and was responsible for pushing. He is a noble ninth young master, she is just a little maid, and her humble status makes her dare not swing, lest the fifth aunt who is in charge of the house will be scolded when she sees it. She is timid and afraid, and has some inferiority complex, he always can't help but bully her, knowing that she wants to swing, but he just doesn't let her play, and even makes her cry many times.
But he knew that on several occasions she had snuck into the garden, swinged, and had fun while speaking ill of him. He has always wanted to save face, he didn't want to expose her, he just pretended not to see it, didn't hear it, and asked the little maid to take care of her and not let the people of the fifth aunt find out. It's a pity that this woman is too slow to perceive his intentions at all, and always scolds him for being ruthless and hard-hearted......
The image on the boulder was carved by his own hands for five years, countless days and nights, sometimes with his hands, sometimes with blood falling into it, sometimes sweating with exhaustion, sweat dripping, sometimes thinking of her resolute eyes, his heart ached, and tears seeped down the cracks in the stone.
This boulder itself is rich in aura, and under his constant touching and carving day and night, it absorbs his blood, sweat, and tears, and it is even more spiritual. Later, he set up a swing frame, and once accidentally found that when he watched the boulder while swinging, the carved Hong Ningxiang was like he was alive, graceful posture, dancing and flying, lifelike, as if she was in front of his eyes, only then, his depressed mood could be relieved for a moment.
It's a pity that the person swinging at this moment is Tian Xiang'er, if she really still has a little memory of Hong Ningxiang, why didn't she feel a little touched when she saw the image on the boulder?
She didn't even know who she was, how could she remember who he was?!
Shi Dingfeng was almost stunned, and it wasn't until Wu walked that he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Ninth Master, it's time to take medicine. ”
Wu Xing handed over a glass of water and an antidote pill.
Shi Dingfeng returned to the room after taking the medicine, Wu Xing followed, and asked tentatively: "Ninth Master, forgive your subordinates for talking too much, what should I do if you are injured in a few days, and Miss Tian insists on leaving? Do you want to tell her about Madame? Maybe she will agree to stay for a while." ”
Shi Dingfeng shook his head: "Don't say it yet." The place she is going to is Qingqiongmen, as long as I send her to Yuheng Mountain before I recover from my injury, it will not be far from Qingqiongmen. ”
Wu Xing exclaimed: "The Ninth Master doesn't want to keep her by his side?"
Shi Dingfeng sighed: "She is like this, do you think you can keep it? It is good to let her enter the Immortal Gate to cultivate, if she can cultivate a skill, she will be able to protect herself in the future." However, I will be there for her wherever she goes. ”
Wu Xingdao: "But I heard that Qingqiong Sect is a female cultivator sect, you ...... How do I get in?"
Shi Dingfeng smiled, and in Wu Xing's eyes, this smile was full of sadness and helplessness.
"I have my own way. After Shi Dingfeng finished speaking, he meditated cross-legged.
Wu Xing walked out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the ninth master didn't want to trap Tian Xiang'er by his side all the time. In this way, even if he really let Tian Xiang'er go, the ninth master would not be too angry.
The life of Lingxiao Hall was too comfortable, if it weren't for the fact that she had to face the ice cube face of the ninth master every day, Tian Xiang'er almost forgot the fact that she was under house arrest, and even a little happy. What she will never forget the most is the delicious food made by Wu Xing, and the other is the swing next to the blue pool.
But fortunately, she still has a trace of sanity, she remembers the agreement with Brother Ghostface, and also remembers the death of her father and brother, she must hurry to Qingqiongmen, become stronger as soon as possible to avenge her family, how can she indulge in a comfortable life? Not to mention being with two big men of unknown origin all day? It's too guilty!
Her intuition told her that if she stayed any longer, she would not only become more and more depraved, but it was very likely that she would not be able to run away if she wanted to in the future.
It's incredible to think about it, just take everything that happened here as a short dream, and now it's time for her to wake up!(ps: I don't know how many readers of old books?
