_Chapter 776 The Taste of Shrimp
Chu Chen took it and tasted it with a smile, "Well, that's good, no wonder the business is so good!" ā
"Really?" Xue Xiao seemed to be very happy, and took a bunch of it herself, "Actually, my aunt also likes spicy food, but unfortunately I almost can't eat it when I am in Baihua Pavilion." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
As he spoke, Xue Xiao stuck out her tongue and licked it in fear and expectation.
Just like that, in an instant, she squinted her eyes, and a layer of fine sweat broke out from the tip of her white jade-like nose, and then she frowned, looking like she wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.
At this moment, Xue Xiao looked like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, and when she saw Chu Chen, she couldn't help but quip: "I kind of understand why Uncle Xue still remembers Aunt Xue after so many years!" ā
"Why?" Xue Xiao didn't think much about it, and licked it again, like a kitten.
"It's so cute and beautiful, I'll remember it for the rest of my life!" Chu Chen laughed.
"Phew!"
Xue Xiao took a sip, her face flushed, and she looked at Chu Chen with disgust.
After a while, she still put down the skewer in her hand, and seemed to be a little distracted.
"Why, it's not going to be angry, is it?" Chu Chen wondered.
"Auntie is not so stingy, Auntie just suddenly discovered that after all these years, some things are still too spicy to eat." Xue Xiao shook her head and said with a slightly bitter smile: "Don't laugh when you say it, when I came back then, my aunt licked it twice like this, and I didn't dare to eat it!" ā
"Then you still say you like spicy food?" Chu Chen felt a little funny, and said: "No wonder I only ordered one plate, it turned out that I couldn't eat it at all, but it just so happened that I didn't feel enough!" ā
Xue Xiao smiled, not angry, just quietly watching with his hands on his cheeks.
Time is so peaceful, as if the years have gone back to the past.
I remember that back then, that man used to sit across from her like this, sweating profusely and breathing like fire, and it was always not enough to eat a lot.
When did he get lost?
I remember he said that he would always love her, and always treat her as the most important treasure, and he would definitely hide it carefully and properly in his heart.
The years are really ruthless!
Xue Xiao smiled bitterly, seeing Chu Chen sweating profusely, he couldn't help but untie a silk handkerchief from his waist, and said with a slight reproach: "Look at you, don't eat if you can't eat, you're afraid of wasting?" ā
"Hehe, it's really delicious!" Chu Chen smiled, his handkerchief was gently wiped on his face, and the fragrance was faint, like an orchid blooming quietly, refreshing.
"It's delicious and slow, no one will rob you!" Xue Xiao couldn't help but be a little amused, as if a heart had become younger.
"No one is robbing, but you have to hurry!"
"Warriors are always different from ordinary people, and it is always difficult to stay and enjoy themselves. Many times I always think that there is nothing wrong with having a stable life like an ordinary person! ā
Chu Chen smiled, his eyes shining.
Xue Xiao looked at it seriously, and suddenly stretched out her jade-white index finger and poked it at the center of Chu Chen's eyebrows, and scolded with a smile: "Isn't it a lesson to Aunt Xue?" Did Aunt Xue say that ordinary people's lives are not good? ā
Chu Chen smiled and didn't answer.
Xue Xiao put away the handkerchief, sighed and said, "Many times this is the case, it is easier said than done. My aunt also knows that everything should be looked forward, but many times I can't help but want to look back at the place I have walked, and it turns out that this look is useless except for making me upset and full of melancholy. ā
After a pause, Xue Xiao looked up at Chu Chen again and said seriously, "Xiao Chen, are you saying that Aunt Xue is useless like this?" ā
"Nope!" Chu Chen shook his head and buried his head in eating shrimp.
Seeing the dodging appearance, Xue Xiao was so angry that she poked again, "You still say no, can't you be honest?" ā
"Hey, hey!" Chu Chen raised his head and said very badly: "Adults' affairs, children generally don't understand much, these questions Aunt Xue can't talk to me, can I give you advice?" ā
"Auntie didn't think you were a child, you were your own child, don't think that Auntie doesn't know, there are fewer little girls you provoked?" Xue Xiao directly raised his fist and glared: "Don't say it, don't say that my aunt really beat you!" ā
"Uh, okay!" Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, wiped his mouth with his sleeve directly, and frowned at Xue Xiao for a while.
"Actually, it's not a problem to look back, I often look back!"
"I look back twice in three days, and I often think about the past. Especially when you go to a place, no matter how important it is, you will always find time to walk through some old places! ā
"No, look, I've got a lot of stuff on me!"
Chu Chen was serious, and as he spoke, he pushed the shrimp shell aside, and directly took his sleeve and began to wipe the table.
In Xue Xiao's helpless eyes, he began to take things out the same way.
"Look, this is the head rope that Ling'er used when she was a child, Aunt Ling'er Xue doesn't know, right? My sister, it's cute, but she's gone far away, and I'm going to try to make myself strong and find her. I promised her that I would take her to her parents! ā
"Look at this again, it's very broken, isn't it? This is a set of clothes that Junling gave me after going up the mountain, she is very cold and never gives things away. It's a pity that someone broke it later, and I was reluctant to throw it away, because she was good to me at that time, do you know why I am so good? Hehe, because she taught me to cultivate, but she's also gone, and now I don't know where it is! ā
"The girl in this painting is very good, isn't it more flavorful the more you look at it? Her name is Bi Ning, and it turned out that there was an identical one that was snatched away by her, which I secretly painted. She saved my life and treated me very well. She is also gone, and when the Pillar Peak collapsed, she fell into the River Styx, and her whereabouts are unknown. I must find her, even if I go down to the Nine Netherworlds! ā
"Look at this again, bamboo dragonfly, I've never seen such a beautiful bamboo dragonfly, right? This is Xiaoxiao's gift to me, Xiaoxiao is my little sister who picked it up, and her bamboo dragonfly will keep me safe. But at that time, I was locked up by the sect, so she left, saying that she was looking for strength to come back and save me, but now I don't know where it is! ā
"And this, it's a very ordinary wine jar, right? This is a jar of daughter red, more than eighteen years old, now it should be counted as decades or thousands of years, I don't remember. But I didn't dare to drink it, because if I did, I would get drunk. Because no one will say it, it's a witch anyway, and it's very distressing! ā
"And this one...... This ......"
It is laid out in the same way, messy, there are broken clothes, there are bamboo dragonflies for children to play with, there are beautifully painted pictures of smoke and rain, and there are things like wine jars and danding.
None of these things are as valuable, but watch the man's eyebrows flutter carefully, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
It is these inconspicuous things that carry unforgettable memories and the price of growth.
What Chu Chen said was very simple, and basically did not describe anything.
But Xue Xiao could tell that he was really cherishing these things with his heart. Even without him having to say anything, she could feel the sincerity and strength that made her heart tremble.
This also made her understand that he was indeed as he said, never forgetting to look back, look at the road he had walked, and think about the people who came and went.
But he wasn't like her.
She has been haunted by everything behind her, distressed day by day, and unable to break free.
But after seeing those clear footprints, he always turned around with strength, brave, resolute, and fearless, moving forward step by step, never stopping.
In a world where strength is the most respected, people are always trying their best to seek great power.
Don't look back, be brave and diligent, and kill decisively, these things go deep into the heart of every martial artist, because only in this way can you be unhindered on the road of martial arts and continue to improve.
But he seems to be different, he looks back from time to time, and his heart is concerned, but he seems to be more obsessed with it than those who have no obstacles, and he has more motivation to rise.
A child whose parents left since he was a child and could only send people under the fence with his sister!
A boy from a humble background who has nothing to rely on!
He didn't get lost, he didn't twist, he didn't give in!
He has used his will and principles to get to where he is today, and how many hardships and hardships he has endured are not very clear to her before that.
But now, even though Chu Chen didn't say anything, she had been laughing all the time, without the slightest frustration, and she seemed to understand a little.
"So, it's right to look forward, but it's not necessarily wrong to look back at the footprints under your feet. Just like me, after a while, I can clearly see those people and those things, and then I will have more strength to move forward and accept the challenge! ā
After saying it with a smile, Chu Chen carefully put everything back into the storage ring.
Xue Xiao's eyes were red, and her inexplicable sadness made her want to cry. The funny thing is that this sadness is not because of the unbearable past, but because I was really moved by the man opposite, and I was a little distressed.
Chu Chen didn't know Xue Xiao's thoughts, thinking that she remembered the sad thing again, so she picked up a bamboo stick and shook it, "Aunt Xue, look! ā
Xue Xiao subconsciously raised his head, only to see Chu Chen put the grilled shrimp into the water cup one by one, and soon a layer of red oil floated on the water cup.
"Looking back, all I have to do now is turn around and be brave enough to take a step. Aunt Xue, you see, the chili oil has been removed, so that it won't be too spicy to eat! ā
Chu Chen was very serious, poured out the oil slick and tied a shrimp with a bamboo skewer and put it in front of Xue Xiao.
It is said to eat shrimp, but in fact it is not eating shrimp at all. Xue Xiao also knew that Chu Chen was relieving her and letting her cross the hurdle in her heart.
Just looking at the shrimp in front of her, she was still a little hesitant and afraid.
Knowing that it might not be spicy, she just didn't dare, this was a habit she had developed over the years, and her subconscious was telling her that she couldn't eat this!
Looking at Xue Xiao's ostrich-like appearance, Chu Chen couldn't help but be a little amused, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Close your eyes." ā
"Oh!" It's really getting smaller, Xue Xiao obediently closes her eyes.
Chu Chen peeled off the shrimp shell, and then put the snow-white shrimp down to Xue Xiao's mouth.
"Open your mouth!"
Xue Xiao's mouth trembled and opened wide, and a soft mass was stuffed in.
Under the fear in her heart, she instinctively wanted to vomit, but a hand covered her mouth outside, and she couldn't help it.
Eventually, she was forced to start chewing.
At first, she was a little jerky and scared, but gradually a fresh and sweet fragrance hit, and she realized that it actually tasted really good.
