Chapter 1: The Heart Knot
The snowfall lasted for a whole week, and on the evening of Wu Xi's discharge, Xuehua finally reluctantly left the whitewashed city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Xing stood by the bed to help her pack her luggage, Wu Xi looked at his back, and had a thousand words to confide in him, but he didn't know where to start for a while. A week ago, also in this ward, Lin Yun died under Xu Xing's Tianxuan sword, although she was to blame, but after all, she was bewitched by the snake because she misunderstood the relationship between herself and Xu Xing, so Wu Xi was always difficult to let go of Lin Yun's death. And Xu Xing, he hadn't spoken to her for a week, was it because he mistakenly thought he was wary of him or because of Lin Yun's death? After all, Lin Yun had a crush on him for three years, even if his heart was made of stone, he would be more or less warmed by her heat. Is he blaming himself for Lin Yun's death? If not, why is it so indifferent? I didn't even look at myself.
"Xu ......" Wu Xi just wanted to call him, but Xu Xing walked out of the room with her luggage without looking back, she had to withdraw the words that were already in her mouth, and trotted all the way out of the hospital behind him.
The city outside the car window is like a fairytale world, and the heavy snow covers everything in the world with a soft and thick quilt, making those cold high-rise buildings look cute and coquettish. Looking at it in such a comparison, the atmosphere in the car seems even colder: Wu Xi sat in the co-pilot and didn't dare to speak, and the people next to her completely regarded her as air, only holding the steering wheel and driving.
"I'm really sorry for Lin Yun's matter," she finally couldn't hold back, "I was careless in Sangui Village, so she misunderstood our relationship, if she knew that we were just roommates who lived together temporarily, it wouldn't have fallen into this role." ”
Xu Xing didn't say a word, Wu Xi saw that his face sank suddenly, the accelerator under his feet stepped on the bottom, and he galloped home all the way home regardless of the slippery road.
"Welcome home." As soon as she opened the door, the two monks greeted her happily. Wu Xi smiled at the two of them and was about to enter the house, but found a basin at the door, and there was burning charcoal in the basin.
"Come on, come on, in order to get rid of bad luck, you must jump this, first with your left foot, and then ......"
With a bang, the brazier was kicked aside by Xu Xing, "If you have time to do this, you might as well pack your luggage." ”
The monks were taken aback by his actions and whispered, "Pack your luggage?" You're going to drive us away again? ”
"It's not you, it's us, tomorrow we have to respond to Tianshan."
Wu Xi was lying on the bed with big eyes, she thought that she would be able to sleep well when she returned to her familiar bed, but she looked at the ceiling and maintained this position for several hours. She had never seen Xu Xing get angry, even if he was angry in his heart before, he could still remain cold and calm on the surface, but today he was unusual, putting all the emotions in his heart on his face, how depressed was he to be like this? And tomorrow he will respond to Tianshan, although Ying Tianshan is not as well-known as several other famous Taoist mountains, it is also one of the birthplaces of Taoism, but what does Xu Xing have to do with it?
The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, Wu Xi was so frightened that she quickly sat up from the bed, and only after seeing that the comers were two dejected monks, she relaxed.
It seems that they will never learn the manners of human beings, Wu Xi sighed, "What time is it now, you still don't sleep?" Aren't you going to have to hurry tomorrow morning? ”
"Who wants to go back there?" "I have to be bullied by those stinky birds again." "And that stern old man, we have weak legs when we see him."
"Old man? What old man? ”
"Yu Banshan, Xu Xing's master. This time it was because he was sick, so Xu Xing was in a hurry to go back. ”
"So he's in a bad mood because of that?"
"It should be, or what else could it be?"
Wu Xi's mood suddenly relaxed, it seemed that she really thought about it too much, and Xu Xing didn't get angry because of her. "By the way, how can Xu Xing still have a master? What about his parents? ”
The two monks ignored her, and they stuffed a red rope to Wu Xi: "This is given to you by Xu Xing, after we leave, you remember to tie it to the door, so that ordinary ghosts can't get close to you." After saying that, they jumped off Wu Xi's bed and walked out of her room yawning. Wu Xi looked at the red rope in her hand, and a trace of long-lost warmth poured into her heart, so she held it in her hand and closed her eyes again, this time, as she wished, she successfully fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Wu Xi was the only one left in the house, she obediently tied Xu Xing's red rope to the doorknob, and then jumped out of the door with her bag on her back.
"What to eat today" is often the first thing Wu Xi has to think about when he wakes up, especially in the morning when Xu Xing is not at home, this question is even more important. "Boss Du's baked cakes, that's right, that's it." Wu Xi snapped his fingers and silently praised himself in his heart.
"Du Ji braised pork" is a small braised meat shop downstairs in Xu Xingjia, although his store is small, but it has long been famous, not only in a review website praise rate as high as 98%, even the TV station has come to interview his family, known as one of the must-eat delicacies in D city. When Wu Xi first moved to Xu Xing's house, she was instigated by two monks to go downstairs to help them buy lo-mei, but when she saw the long queue in front of the small stall that turned a few corners, she knew that she had been tricked by them again. But after eating the meat in her mouth, she immediately did not regret the queue for about half an hour. The meat flavor is strong but not greasy, crispy and rotten, but it is not like other lo-mei, which is supported by a pot of condiments, but makes people still feel the texture of the ingredients themselves when they are fragrant. But because his family's business is too hot, coupled with Xu Xing's good skills, Wu Xi rarely has the motivation to queue up to buy meat at night. Fortunately, every morning, his family will make meat cakes from the leftover pieces sold yesterday for the majority of neighbors to serve as breakfast, so only at this time can Wu Xi have the opportunity to feast. Thinking of this, Wu Xi quickened her pace, she rushed out of the unit building in three steps and two steps, and walked onto the small street that sold snacks that she had to pass every day.
Looking from afar, the door of the usually popular Du Ji braised meat shop was deserted, Wu Xi walked quickly to the front of the store, only to find that the door of the store was closed, and the boss was not open at all. She asked the master who repaired the car next to her with a disappointed face: "Why didn't Du Ji open the door today?" ”
"Today? Boss Du has been closed for a week. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"The proprietress is missing."
