40.Chapter 40
Kou Zhong's eyes moved, and finally he honestly compromised the moment before Ling Chusi was about to turn his face from "persuasion" to coercion.
"A small village outside Yangzhou City-" Ling Chusi repeated lightly, and then smiled at Kou Zhongwan, "Then let's go!" β
"Wait." Kou Zhong had another objection.
Ling Chusi raised his eyebrows, "Huh? β
Kou Zhong's eyes fluttered a little as he looked at the surrounding walls, his eyes swept away, and finally landed in the direction of the food stall near the south gate of Yangzhou, he swallowed his saliva and whispered, "My younger brother hasn't eaten yet...... I'm going to get him something to eat and bring home. β
As he spoke, Kou Zhong's own stomach growled with hunger.
Kou Zhong's cheeks flushed suddenly, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and he looked unexpectedly honest and pitifulβif it weren't for the fact that his eyes were still wandering all the time revealing his careful thoughts that he was obviously still thinking about ghosts at this time.
For a moment, Ling Chusi's eyes also became subtle.
After a short silence, Ling Chusi suddenly laughed, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, stepped forward and took a step closer, the kind of strong sense of oppression brought by her own strength that was not malicious, but directly forced Kou Zhong, who was naturally sensitive to danger, to instinctively want to retreat or even run away regardless of it.
"Let's go!" After Ling Chusi approached, his eyes calmly and calmly stared at Kou Zhong, who was full of careful thoughts, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Actually, I'm a very talkative person, so I won't let you go hungry when you help me, right?" β
Kou Zhong licked his chapped lips in winter, squeezed out a smiling face with difficulty, and said with a smile: "Little Miss is wise, little Miss is wise!" β
When Ling Chusi heard this, his face remained unchanged, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, Little Miss, what kind of title is this......
No matter how Kou Zhong couldn't get rid of Ling Chusi, he turned his head and put on a sad face while laughing with Ling Chusi, anyway, after an attempt that he couldn't escape just now, Kou Zhong's attitude on the surface was well-behaved enough.
Knowing that the shape is stronger than people, even if he is reluctant in his heart, at least on the surface, Kou Zhong is still honestly like a little follower, silently following behind Ling Chusi, who is dressed in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, who looks particularly swaggering.
Ling Chusi stood in front of the food stall near the south gate of Yangzhou, turned his head and asked Kou Zhongdao, "What do you and your brother want to eat?" β
Immediately after, without waiting for Kou Zhong to speak, Ling Chusi added to himself: "Forget about the soup and water, it's not easy to take." β
Kou Zhong's eyes swept over the several shops outside the dining stall with uncertain eyes, and after seeing the largest number of guests outside the "Lao Feng Bun Shop" who were still crowded and waiting, his eyes lit up, and he felt that buying food could be delayed for a while, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Just the vegetable and meat buns from Lao Feng Bun Shop!" After a pause, in order to enhance his convincingness, Kou Zhong lowered his head slightly, and whispered softly: "Before my mother's death, every time she went into the city, she would always bring me and my father their buns......"
Ling Chusi listened, raised his eyebrows, and faced the crowded guests outside the "Lao Feng Bun Shop", he didn't take it seriously, he directly took out a handful of copper plates from his backpack, and roughly estimated that there were more than a dozen pieces, and after throwing it to Kou Zhong, he looked at the expression on his face that was still a little stunned and smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Go buy it yourself!" I'm waiting for you here. β
Kou Zhong held the copper plate in his hand, trying to restrain his urge to run away after taking the money, of course, because he couldn't run away......
Kou Zhong walked to the circle of people outside the "Lao Feng Bun Shop", although his body was still very small, but his movements were extremely dexterous and squeezed in, the young man's voice was particularly crisp, and he shouted directly without stage fright: "Boss, come to six vegetable and meat buns!" β
Seeing Kou Zhong, Wei Zhenzhen's eyes changed suddenly, and she unconsciously used force in her hand, almost breaking a bun she had just picked up.
Wei Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, Kou Zhong was still a little puzzled, and heard a guest next to him ask strangely, "Hey, my buns?" β
Wei Zhenzhen suddenly came back to her senses, and while laughing, she hurriedly went to wrap the buns that the guest asked for just now, and then took six buns to Kou Zhong in a complicated mood, deliberately received two less copper plates, and couldn't help whispering: "Come often in the future." β
Kou Zhong's eyebrows bent, the young man's thick eyebrows and big eyes still had a bit of childishness, he immediately smiled at Wei Zhenzhen when he heard this, although he didn't say anything after taking the bun, he kept the "Lao Feng Bun Shop" in his heart, and immediately, his movements were like loaches in the muddy water, and he deftly came out of the crowd at once.
"It's fast!" Ling Chusi stood next to a candy seller, directing the vendor to make a candy man according to Kou Zhong's appearance, and when he saw Kou Zhong squeezing out of the crowd in front of the bun shop, he waved at him with a smile and said lightly.
"......" Kou Zhong couldn't tell whether the other party had guessed what he had just thought, so he deliberately let himself buy buns, or whether he just didn't want to squeeze into the crowd.
Looking at Ling Chusi's white and red handmade and hand-refined gorgeous clothes that are full of plush trim that are particularly warm when they look at it, even if they think in their hearts that it is more likely to be the first one, but they can't help but feel that maybe the other party just doesn't like to crowd in the crowd......
The hawker who pinched the candy man was also particularly quick, especially at this time Kou Zhong also came over, with a clear reference, the hawker pinched the candy man in three or two clicks, although the vague facial features couldn't see anything, but the charm of the hair and clothes was quite a bit.
Ling Chusi saw it and nodded with satisfaction, then he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Kou Zhong, who was still a little stunned, "I sent you!" β
"......" Kou Zhong silently took the sugar man over, thinking that he could take it back to Xu Ziling to eat candy. However, at the same time, looking at the sugar man who was quite similar to himself, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
It wasn't until Ling Chusi left Yangzhou City under the leadership of Kou Zhong and was about to go outside the small village that was burned down for most of the time, Kou Zhong held the buns in the paper bag in one hand and the bamboo sticks of the sugar man in the other, and finally couldn't help but whisper: "You, you want to sue me, you have remembered my appearance, and I can't escape?" β
=mouth=!?
When Ling Chusi heard this, he was slightly stunned.
She didn't answer immediately, but her gaze swept over the candy man in Kou Zhong's hand with some subtlety, and she couldn't help blinking.
- This kid seems to have reminded her that if the face can be depicted in a more delicate way, it is completely easier to find someone than drawing on paper with pen and ink!
Thinking of this, Ling Chusi couldn't help but look at Kou Zhong carefully again, he was just a teenager, born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, just this natural appearance, no need to guess to know, this kid must also have a good appearance when he grows up. The most important thing is that this kid is still very smart, so smart that he will inevitably be a little suspicious......
Kou Zhong's heart tightened slightly when he was looked at by Ling Chusi, and he couldn't help but say, "You, what are you looking at!?" β
Ling Chusi bent the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I just stood there, you can't run away even if you want to, can I still let that vendor pinch such a candy man who looks like you to come to you?" β
However, Ling Chusi's vague "denial" of evasion not only did not make Kou Zhong settle down, but made Kou Zhong almost more convinced of the guess just now - if he ran away, she would definitely find herself out again, in short, she would never let go of his QAQ!
Fortunately, I didn't take the money just now and ran away......
Kou Zhong felt fortunate in his heart as he walked in the direction of his home, but as the house that had not been burned down but was still in tatters and could only barely shelter from the wind and rain got closer and closer, the uneasiness in Kou Zhong's heart grew more and more.
It's just that he himself fell into the hands of Ling Chusi, and now when he goes home, it is likely that Xu Ziling will also be targeted, but Ziling is so small, leaving him alone at home, Kou Zhong can't feel at ease.
The more I thought about it, the more entangled it became, and the expression on Kou Zhong's face, who regretted it for a while and felt that he could only do this, changed back and forth, and the muscles on his cheeks were a little sore.
At this moment, before Kou Zhong, who was more and more hesitant, walked into the door, Xu Ziling had already run out of a small field behind the house with something in his arms, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Zhong, look what I found!" β
With Xu Ziling's voice, Ling Chusi and Kou Zhong's eyes invariably fell into his arms-it was a white radish that had been frozen for most of it, but at this time, it was cherished by the little boy like a treasure.
"White radish can be drunk in soup?" Ling Chusi raised her eyebrows and said, especially this radish was obviously frozen, although she preferred radish lean meat soup and the like.
"......" Kou Zhong glanced at Ling Chusi with a strange look in his eyes, hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, took the radish that was still frozen in Xu Ziling's hand, stuffed the slightly hot bun in his hand into Xu Ziling's hand, and said softly: "Ziling, eat the bun first!" β
After his parents were killed, and the two little teenagers got together and struggled to survive, Xu Ziling hadn't eaten such a thing as buns for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded heavily, and cheered: "Hmm! Brother Zhong, where did you get the buns! After a pause, Xu Ziling smiled a little shyly, couldn't hide his curiosity and secretly glanced at Ling Chusi, and asked Kou Zhong in a low voice, "Who is she?" β
Looking at Xu Ziling's simple and bright round eyes, Kou Zhong, who had more debts and didn't have to worry about giving up on himself, smiled desperately in his heart: "Good Samaritan who gave money to buy buns......
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong thought that they had come together to lower their voices, but they didn't know that with Ling Chusi's ears and eyes, none of the words they were muttering in private could escape her ears at all.
After hearing Kou Zhong's evaluation of himself, Rao is Ling Chusi himself couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and chuckled disapprovingly: "I don't know, it turns out that you think I'm so good and like me so much!" β
Kou Zhong's face turned red at onceβfrightened.
Ling Chusi looked at the two young men who seemed to be about the same age, but one was simple and clear-minded, and the other was as cunning as a fox and quite suspicious although he was young, and took the initiative to take a few steps forward in the direction of the house, and said in a negative manner: "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk!" β
Kou Zhong couldn't help but mutter, "It's just as cold inside." β
Ling Chusi turned his head, glanced at him with pity, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold, look at your brother, his face is so white from the cold." β
Xu Ziling, who was still rejoicing in the unexpected harvest of white radish and vegetable and meat buns, raised his head to look at Ling Chusi with some confusion when he heard this, and looked at Ling Chusi, who looked beautiful and cute, but unexpectedly had some momentum in his gestures, he blinked, and took the initiative to move two steps away out of instinct but quietly.
"......" Ling Chusi and Kou Zhong said at the same time, this kid is keen!
After Ling Chusi entered the house quite unceremoniously, he felt the same cold temperature in the room because there was no fire, and thought that there was a briquette in his backpack that he had picked up in the Sancai Array, so he simply threw it into the stove and lit it.
Ling Chusi looked around, found a chair and sat down, and then smiled slowly and said, "You guys eat first, now, we can talk while eating!" β
Xu Ziling put aside the bun he had just held in his arms, poured a glass of water for Kou Zhong first, and then saw Ling Chusi sitting there steadily, his mind moved, and he turned around and went to the cabinet to turn over a teacup, poured a glass of water, and carefully sent it over.
Ling Chusi was a little surprised in his heart, and regardless of the fact that there were still some broken cracks in the mouth of the cup, he directly reached out and took it, and said with a slight bow: "Thank you." β
Xu Ziling just smiled shyly when he heard this, looking quite delicate and innocent, looking at Kou Zhong with an unpredictable face, and then at Ling Chusi, who was sitting there leisurely, his eyes rolled, and he asked softly, "You guys, what do you want to say?" β
