CHAPTER XLIV
Ah Xia looked at Tian Donkey blankly, her eyes began to moisten, but she never let the tears flow, but looked at Tian Donkey for a long time, looking, looking, and finally, she smiled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When life is harsh and cruel to you, there's nothing like gritting your teeth. At least that will make the grief a little more decent.
And she knows that it is useless to debunk a lie, let alone a white lie from Tian Donkey! The man in front of him, who was clumsy enough to even lie, was probably the only man in the world who would lie for his poor dignity as a human being, so the only thing she could give him in response was a bitter smile.
However, the stubbornness on her face can't withstand the pain in her heart, and Ah Xia's heart at the moment is bleeding, crying, and uncomfortable for a while. She smiled and asked Tian Donkey.
"Am I looking good today?"
"Good-looking"
"That'...... Is it good to laugh? ā
"It's also beautiful"
"That's it!"
After speaking, Ah Xia stubbornly raised her head and brushed her black and shiny hair with her hand, which made her look better and better. In Tian Donkey's eyes, Ah Xia was the best-looking woman he had ever seen, but at this time, he didn't understand what Ah Xia said at all.
"Axia, why are you...... Ask me those words? ā
"Sanjun, why are you so stupid?"
"What's wrong?"
"No, I just think your tongue is a little knotted when you speak tonight, it's very unnatural, but you, what's wrong with you? Did you lie to me? ā
"I'm fine...... I'm not lying......"
Ah Xia smiled again and said.
"That's okay, I know the reason why the business of the bathhouse is not good, and there is no way to do it if the service is not good, because people are the most elusive and difficult species in the world, but I won't discuss this today, you are tired, you can go back and rest"
After Ah Xia finished speaking, she was about to turn around and go out, which made Tian Donkey even more confused.
"Ah Xia, why are you going?"
"I'm going to buy groceries, tonight, let you taste my craft"
"Uh......"
This is the first time in the world, basically, Ah Xia has never cooked, and when she lives with Tian Donkey, Tian Donkey cooks, but tonight, she wants to cook a meal for Tian Donkey.
Ah Xia, who seemed to be a little whimsical, quickly returned home. She not only bought the ingredients, but also bought wine, and quickly cooked a sumptuous meal for Tian Donkey and herself. Tian Donkey was a little dumbfounded. But looking at Ah Xia, she seemed to be very happy, as if she was going to celebrate some festival, and she was fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks while humming a song. Such a Xia looks normal, but in fact it is not normal at all, but Tian Donkey doesn't know what to do with her? He sat at the table in a daze, facing the color and fragrance made by Ah Xia, which was no less than a table full of Han people, and it was a little difficult to swallow. At this time, in Tian Donkey's heart, he felt that Ah Xia should not be extravagant and wasteful, at least when they needed to save their lives the most, they should not spend money like this.
"Ah Xia, the bathhouse doesn't have much business, you ...... Where did the money come from? ā
"You don't have to worry about my money, just eat"
Ah Xia's answer was crisp and neat, without any cover-up or concealment. And it seems that Ah Xia is not willing to talk more, so she handed a pair of chopsticks to Tian Donkey's hand as she spoke.
"Here, eat quickly, or the food will be cold"
"Oh, Ah Xia, is it a good day?"
"No, it's not."
"How can there be so much good food? There were only two of us, and it would be a waste to not be able to finish eating......"
"Well, I knew you would say that. You, Sanjun, it's not me talking about you, sometimes, you really look like a fool, your life is too hard, too boring and too boring. People say that in life, the word "eat and drink", haven't you heard it? ā
"Yes," Tian Donkey replied weakly.
"So, it's okay to eat and drink, otherwise, what are you living for?"
"Uh...... I don't know what I'm living for."
Tian Donkey couldn't help but sigh. He had never thought about this question, nor had he questioned himself like Ah Xia, so when Ah Xia suddenly asked, he was really at a loss.
"Forget it, don't talk nonsense, if you really can't understand it, then think it's an important day, or just think I'm crazy, come, cheers!"
As she spoke, Ah Xia poured a glass of wine for Tian Donkey and herself, and raised her glass.
Tian Donkey also raised her glass, and her cautious appearance made Ah Xia "flutter" and laughed again.
"Is it your first time drinking?"
"No...... Yes"
"That was the first time I drank with a woman?"
"Hmm"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Sanjun, tonight, you can have a few drinks with me, I want to drink. Come on, do it, for the sake of our bathhouse business getting better and better in the future"
"Good"
"No, no, no, it's not good, it's not good, just think it's for the life of this bastard!"
After speaking, Ah Xia raised her head and drank it all, and drank the bottom of the cup to the sky.
Ah Xia drank white wine, bitter and spicy liquor, so when she raised her head and poured it down like drinking water, Tian Donkey was so worried that she almost reached out and snatched the wine glass from Ah Xia's hand.
"Ah Xia, drink slowly, otherwise you will get drunk"
"Huh, drunk? I'm desperate, come on, do another one."
As she spoke, Ah Xia disregarded another glass of wine. And Tian Donkey, who was on the other side of the table, always held the glass of wine and didn't drink a sip. He put down the wine glass in his hand and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes for Ah Xia.
"Ah Xia, you eat some food, you can't drink on an empty stomach, it will hurt your body...... If you want to drink, I'll accompany you, it doesn't matter how much you drink, but you can't drink too hard, otherwise it will really hurt you."
Ah Xia ignored Tian Donkey's chatter, but poured cup after cup into her stomach, as if the heart in her stomach was burning and needed to be extinguished with spirits, but wine helped her intestines, and it would only make the ashes after the heart burn more bitter! Tian Donkey couldn't bear to watch Ah Xia torture herself like this, so she got up, walked to Ah Xia's side, and snatched the wine glass from Ah Xia's hand, but unexpectedly, Ah Xia suddenly raised her head and laughed, laughing and laughing, and suddenly, she cried on the table again.
"What is this called? What is this called? ā¦ā¦ā
She cried and pounded the table.
"What's wrong with me being good-looking? Is that also a sin? Three armies, is it my fault? Is that why they don't come to our bathhouse? ā
In Ah Xia's crying full of alcohol, Tian Donkey understood. It turns out that Ah Xia really knows everything.
"Why? Why? ā¦ā¦ā
Ah Xia asked over and over again, sounding like she was wailing in pain over and over again, and it also pierced Tian Donkey's heart over and over again.
At that moment, Tian Donkey finally understood that he couldn't do anything, so he could only stand aside and look at Ah Xia.
"Why can't you give me a way to live? Why is our life so difficult? What to do? What should we do? Ah.......h
Ah Xia's almost crazy hysteria was a cry of pain towards the sky, and it was what Tian Donkey wanted to do the most but didn't do and didn't dare to do, so at that moment, he let Ah Xia vent. In the end, her tears finally flowed freely.
That night, Ah Xia was very drunk, and Tian Donkey helped her back to her room. And the sumptuous table of meals, neither of them ate it.
The bathhouse is completely out of business, and it is almost turned into a warehouse, but Tian Donkey and Ah Xia's life is as usual, not because of how much Tian Donkey has, but because of Ah Xia. Tian Donkey's only money had been spent when he renovated the bathhouse, and now the money used to maintain the lives of the two of them, I don't know where Ah Xia got it, Tian Donkey was very puzzled, and asked Ah Xia many times tentatively, but Ah Xia blocked back.
Tian Donkey knew what the way for a weak girl like Ah Xia to make money was, so when the days passed, the bathhouse had no income and their lives could go on, he became more and more suspicious of Ah Xia. Moreover, he had to suspect that Ah Xia had returned to his previous life again, to earn money with his body, to maintain the lives of the two, if that was the case, Tian Donkey felt ashamed, and the shame for himself was not for Ah Xia, and he felt extremely ashamed for himself as a man but powerless and inactive in life! At the same time, he also felt sorry for Ah Xia, he didn't want Ah Xia to do that, because that was the suffering that Ah Xia wanted to get rid of and should get rid of, so he wanted to stop Ah Xia.
One day, Ah Xia dressed up again and went out, Tian Donkey kept watching Ah Xia's every move, so after Ah Xia went out, he quietly followed Ah Xia.
