Shu Kui returned to the dormitory with Xing Yuan after lunch, and at that time, Old Man Wang was sitting in the shade of a tree in the courtyard drinking tea, and when he saw the two of them, he rolled his eyes and didn't say a word.

Shu Kui had already understood that he was a character that was not pleasing to anyone, so he and Xing Yuan glanced at each other and went back to their rooms.

In the afternoon, Xing Yuan came to find Shu Kui and quietly asked if he knew how to go back. Shu Kui thought of the sinking forest outside the road, and the decapitated and immortal Xingtian lynx, he didn't want to talk about his experience, so he only shook his head, saying that he wanted to go back, and he couldn't do anything.

In this regard, Xing Yuan seemed to have expected it, but the disappointment in his eyes was still difficult to hide, Shu Kui had to pull something else to divert his attention, so soon, the two became acquainted.

At dinner, there were many more people in the canteen than at noon, and I saw Old Man Wang sitting alone in the middle seat, while eating, complaining about how bad the food was and how bad the environment was.

Shu Kui thought that his appearance would set off a small commotion like when he was in Haocang Palace, but the fact is that there are many people who are not strange in Liujin Village, and when everyone sees her, they glance at her coldly, enthusiastically, and even nod and smile.

For a while, Shu Kui felt indescribably relaxed, as if he had returned to the world.

With such a good mood, the next day, she got up early in the morning, took the recipe, and as soon as she walked out of the house, she happened to meet the old man Wang who was walking in the yard.

"Are you doing breakfast today?" Old man Wang asked.

Shu Kui nodded.

"This doesn't make people eat breakfast!" Old man Wang was furious, "Can't you just go to someone seriously!" ”

Shu Kui shrank his neck, and before he could put the spearhead on himself, he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.

When she came to the kitchen, half of her good mood was gone, and when she saw the pile of ingredients in front of Brother Huo, she was in a completely bad mood.

However, Brother Huo didn't care whether his subordinates were in a good mood or not, as soon as he saw him, he hurriedly beckoned him over, and after a while, there were more people in the kitchen.

At the same time, Brother Huo's affairs also increased, and people called him from time to time, and in the end, he simply called a few people to help, and he simply didn't come back.

The few who called seemed to be middle-aged aunts, seeing Shu Kui's clumsiness, they first laughed, and then enthusiastically taught her, and they didn't forget to chat sentence by sentence, and inquired about Shu Kui's personal situation, and even, just like in the world, thinking about being a matchmaker for her.

Shu Kui is working, and he has to deal with the gossip of the aunts, half-heartedly, whether it is steamed buns, steamed buns or cakes, they are all crooked, and the appearance is very ugly.

"Don't tight, don't tight, don't pay attention to good looks here, just eat enough." An aunt smiled and went to steam these things.

Before half past seven, the canteen opened its door, and the first person to sit in was naturally the old man Wang, who had been waiting for a long time.

He asked for a vegetable bun, took a bite, spit it out without chewing, threw the bun to the ground, and left angrily.

"He just lost his wife, and he was not happy." Another aunt came over and said.

"It was his wife who passed away?" This, Shu Kui didn't expect.

Auntie nodded: "They both came sixty years ago, and they have been together for more than fifty years, and suddenly there is only one person left, it must be very uncomfortable." ”

Shu Kui also nodded, and had a little understanding of Old Man Wang's eccentricity in his heart.

At this time, a few more people came, asked for breakfast, brought it to the seat, and only took a bite, but they vomited and screamed that it was unpalatable.

Shu Kui hurriedly went over when he heard this, picked up the bun and tasted it, and spit out it out in the same hurry-it was really unpalatable, sweet and salty, and the indescribable strange taste.

"You did it?" The person who ate breakfast was a little angry, "Didn't Grandma Wang's recipe give it to you?" Why is it still so unpalatable? ”

The movement outside led Brother Huo out, he broke some cake silently, and chewed two bites: "It's the first time she has done it today, and if she doesn't put the seasoning right, it will be fine slowly." ”

As soon as these words came out, the complainers were silent.

Brother Huo asked people to remove the pastries, called Shu Kui to the operating table, and asked what was going on.

"I follow the recipe." Shu Kui was very aggrieved.

Brother Huo thought about it for a while and said, "I happened to be absent when I lowered the material, what did you put it?" ”

Shu Kui opened the recipe and pointed to the column of seasonings: "Oil, salt, after I put salt for the first time, I also picked a little bit and tasted it, I felt it was a little light, and put a little salt......"

Suddenly, Shu Kui realized that he might have put different seasonings twice, which is why the steamed bun filling tasted so strange.

Brother Huo looked at her, as if he had guessed the truth: "Are you sure?" It's all salt? ”

Shu Kui was unsure and didn't dare to ring.

Brother Huo sighed lightly: "Forget it, pay attention tomorrow." ”

Shu Kui said "yes", full of guilt.

The matter passed like this, and when it came time to go to work again, Brother Huo was still busy and lacking skills, Shu Kui held the recipe, checked the materials in the same way, and checked the steps step by step, thinking that there would definitely be no accident this time, but unexpectedly, the pastries and snacks that were taken out were still vomited on the ground.

Since then, the entire Liujinzhai people have known Shu Kui, and even the big trees that have not been seen for a few days have heard the news and come to the canteen.

After tasting a bite of the bun, his whole face wrinkled, and it was difficult to spit it out in front of Shu Kui, so he had to swallow it reluctantly.

"I've been very careful, but I just can't do it, either I didn't put this right, or I didn't do it well." Shu Kui was very helpless, feeling that he had really done his best.

Da Shu and Brother Huo glanced at each other: "That's it, it seems that this job is really not suitable for you, otherwise, you should go back and be a teacher for Xiaoyuan." ”

"Okay." Shu Kui gladly accepted and breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, Dashu brought primary school textbooks and some school supplies, and Shu Kui put the whiteboard in the living room and officially became Xing Yuan's tutor.

Old man Wang still looks like he is not satisfied with anyone, he often goes to the "class" to sit, and by the way, Shu Kui doesn't bother with him because he knows that he is newly widowed, and Xing Yuan doesn't dare to talk back, so after more than a week, the three of them are fine.

On this day, the morning class was almost over, and Old Man Wang had not yet appeared, Shu Kui couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked Xing Yuan if he had seen him.

Xing Yuan recalled and said, "It seems that no, I didn't go to the cafeteria when I had breakfast." ”

Shu Kui said "oh", faintly felt bad in his heart, assigned his homework, and came to Old Man Wang's room.

She knocked on the door and got no answer.

"Uncle Wang?" The second time, she knocked on the door harder, but she didn't want to, the door was unlocked, and it was pushed open.

As soon as he entered the room, the stuffy breath came to his face, and the old man Wang was lying on the bed, and the quilt covered his body tightly.

"Uncle Wang, are you uncomfortable?" Shu Kui walked over slowly.

"Get out of ......" Old man Wang was weak, and he didn't forget to say cruel words.

"What's wrong with you?" Shu Kui put his forehead on his forehead and touched the hot and sticky sweat on his hand, "I'll call a doctor for you." ”

"No, let me die......" Old man Wang raised his hand violently and grabbed Shu Kui's wrist.

Shu Kui looked at his dull eyes, and his heart was flustered, so he quickly broke free and asked Xing Yuan to call in a doctor as quickly as possible.

After the doctor checked the pulse, he called Shu Kui outside the room: "He was poisoned." ”

"How so? What poison? Can it be cured? Shu Kui was a little surprised.

"He is poisoned by the herb, and even if there is an antidote, there is no guarantee that it will be cured, and it will take a long time to die, and it is very painful before he dies." Doctors still know a lot about this poisonous weed.

"What is the antidote? You have to give it a try. "Shu Kui wants the doctor to prescribe medicine.

"The antidote is hard to come by, I don't have it." The doctor smiled lightly, "Tell you the truth, he doesn't want to live anymore - there are all kinds of grass here, everyone knows it, everyone knows it's poisonous." ”

"Even if you don't want to live, do you just watch him die?" Shu Kui really can't do this.

The doctor glanced at her: "Girl, his life is his own, and now he doesn't want it, why are you in a hurry?" ”

"I'm anxious for you, as a doctor, to see death and not save you." Shu Kui was a little speechless.

The doctor didn't think it was wrong, but still smiled: "As a doctor, I only save people who want to live, if he kneels down and begs me now, maybe I will go out to help him find an antidote." ”

"You ......" Shu Kui didn't believe that these words would come from the mouth of a doctor, "God has the virtue of a good life, not to mention that your mission is to save lives and help the wounded, whether he seeks death by himself or not, you should not deprive him of even a little bit of life." ”

The doctor shrugged: "The ant is still greedy, he is dozens of years old, this path is his own choice, if I pull him back, he may blame me." ”

Shu Kui was so angry that his head was dizzy, and in a blink of an eye, he suddenly thought that the three of them were aliens here: "In your eyes, we are the same status as beasts, but we are beasts, and we shouldn't wait for death in vain, since you don't want to help him, I will help him myself." ”

The doctor raised his eyebrows, and was about to say something, when he heard a voice coming: "So, how are you going to help?" ”

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw the big tree standing at the end of the hallway, holding a few books in his hands.

The doctor stopped talking, smiled and nodded at him.

The big tree also nodded in return, and then walked slowly and stood in front of Shu Kui.

And Shu Kui, who was asked like this, slowly calmed down: "Can you ask the business people in the village to get the antidote?" ”

"Yes." Dashu said, "But it's estimated to be quite expensive, and you still have to collect cash, do you have it?" ”

Shu Kui didn't make a sound, and thought about it again: "Then, can you talk to the owner of the village, ask him to open the door, and let me go out to find it?" ”
