Gu Changsheng was frightened, her reaction was slow and her adaptability was slow, this was not the first time she had encountered such a strange thing, but it would take her longer to adapt to it if she was calm. She took a few steps back www.biquge.info bumped into the Taoist priest who came in at dusk to hide from the rain, he screamed, rubbed his chest and said, "You little girl, why are you frizzy." ”

Gu Changsheng pointed to the kitchen. That kind of paper piercing man is a dead thing that is burned to the dead in the underworld, and how can a lifeless thing move for no reason. No, how could there be a moving paper figure in the kitchen for no reason?

"Inside?" The Taoist priest leaned in from the window and looked at it for a while, "What's so beautiful about the black inside?" Look at you panicking, did you see a mouse or a cockroach? ”

One more person has more courage, and Changsheng slowly moved back to the window and looked in, everything was as usual in the kitchen. Gu Changsheng deliberately raised the candle in his hand to illuminate the cutting board. The kitchen knife was stuck diagonally on the cutting board, and the minced meat was gone.

The Taoist priest said, "I can't see it clearly here, what do you want to see, go in and take a look." Without waiting for Changsheng to answer, he pulled her directly into the kitchen. Girl, stir-fry two dishes for me. If it weren't for the heavy rain, I wouldn't have to be trapped here, the things made by the girl surnamed Zhao are so unpalatable that I can't sleep from hunger. ”

Gu Changsheng took the candle and deliberately shone it on all four corners of the kitchen, not to mention the paper figures, not even mice, so she was relieved.

Changsheng said, "It's not good to move Miss Zhao's kitchen without asking." What's more, she didn't really want to stay here, only to see unclean things, and always felt that it was safest to return to Xi Zixu.

The Taoist priest smiled, "What's wrong, didn't she say that she would give you four yuan for cooking a dish, and I will pay you the same, and give her the rest of the money tomorrow morning." You're helping her increase her income, unless you don't want to. ”

Gu Changsheng thought about it, and when she entered the kitchen during the day, she knew very well where the firewood sauce materials were, so she went to light a fire and take a knife.

Before I was about to cut vegetables, the scene of the paper man chopping meat with a kitchen knife came to mind, and she was also standing in front of the stove where she was standing now. She was a little hairy, so she went to change a kitchen knife, changed the stove, cut the greens and threw them into the pot to fry, and fried a plate of greens and a plate of tofu.

The Taoist priest took a bite of tofu and praised, "Why do you want to be a human servant, you can open a restaurant with your skills and do a good business." ”

Is it delicious? The father-in-law didn't praise her craftsmanship, and Xi Zixu didn't say that her dishes were well done, so she didn't know if the dishes she fried were more in line with this person's taste.

Changsheng said, "I've made these dishes countless times, maybe it's just practice makes perfect." As long as a person repeats something, whether he has talent or not, he will always do it well. This is what my stepfather said. ”

"Just by listening to this sentence, you know that your stepfather must be a wise man." He took out the eight cents from the cloth bag and put it on the stove.

Changsheng shook his hand and said, "No need, you can just give it to Miss Zhao." ”

The Taoist priest smiled, "It's strange that there are still people who don't like money these days." ”

It's not that she doesn't like money, "I'm about to go to Kunlun Mountain, so I don't have to spend any more money." What's more, this is just a gesture, but the green vegetables, tofu, oil and salt are all used by Miss Zhao, and the money should have been given to her. ”

The Taoist priest ate the large plate of tofu in two or three bites, and asked casually, "Do you want to go up to Kunlun Mountain to find someone?" ”

She replied, "No, I want to apprentice." ”

The Taoist priest coughed violently, and something like tofu that was so soft and even suitable for toothless old people would actually make him choke, and he was really unlucky. Gu Changsheng scooped a bowl of water from the water tank, but forgot that it was Zhao Su who had washed his hands during the day, "Uncle, you can drink saliva." ”

The Taoist priest swallowed the tofu, "I'm only thirty-eight." ”

People reported their age, should she also report her age, so that it can be regarded as a "courtesy exchange", "I am sixteen. ”

The Taoist priest was silent for a moment, "...... Forget it, you might as well call me uncle. ”

He didn't take Gu Changsheng's water, but just drank the wine of his gourd, "You don't think you want to apprentice on the mountain." The little girl's ambition in the future is to get rid of the demons? ”

Gu Changsheng said honestly, "I didn't think about it. She doesn't have a clear goal to know what she wants to do, and she doesn't have noble sentiments to kill demons or anything, although she doesn't define herself as a worm who can't achieve anything, but it's also considered to be four nothings, no silver, no status, no talent, and no ideals.

The Taoist priest said, "Little girl, I advise you to go home, and after two years, let the family find you a good family to marry." ”

She poured the water back into the tank and put the bowl away. "I can't go home, so I'm going to Kunlun Mountain."

Her words were sentimental, but her voice was very firm, this was what she promised her father-in-law, if she never had a chance to see her again in this life, it would be the last thing, she must do it well. She put the copper coin on the stove into the palm of her hand, and wanted to return it to the Taoist priest so that he could give it to Zhao Suer tomorrow.

But she felt that the side of the copper coin was a little black in the dim candlelight, and she heard the Taoist priest ask, "What's the matter, I have a problem with this money?" ”

Changsheng shook his head, "No, it's just that this copper coin seems to be a little dirty, and it's still cold." She returned the coin. I remembered that I seemed to have been out for a long time. "I'll go back and rest, it's inconvenient for you to eat without food, I'll leave the candle here first and pick it up tomorrow." Uncle, remember to blow out the candle when you leave, and don't drink too much alcohol and hurt yourself. ”

The Taoist priest thoughtfully, put the copper coin in the palm of his hand, first closed his hand, and then spread out his five fingers, "Girl, do you see if this copper coin is still black now?" ”

Gu Changsheng raised his eyes and glanced at them, those copper coins were shining with the luster that copper products should have. "No more. Remember, don't drink too much. After telling her again, she was afraid that the paper figure would not know where it came out for a while, so she hurriedly ran back to the room.

……

She felt that she hadn't slept for two hours before she was woken up by Xi Zixu's shout, "I'm hungry, go make breakfast." ”

She had to get up, even though her eyelids felt so heavy that they were sinking as if they had two iron balls tied to them. "Young master, I saw a paper man making a kitchen knife in the kitchen yesterday."

Xi Zi lay on the bed in a large font, and said indifferently, "So what?" Let's not say whether you're dazzled or not, even if there are a hundred paper figures in the kitchen who are making kitchen knives, you have to go to the kitchen for me to make breakfast first. I'm hungry and don't hurry up and cook. ”

He had long legs, and he stretched out his leg and kicked her, not hard, but enough to make her move a few steps forward. In the face of his hunger, her fear was not worth mentioning. Gu Changsheng rubbed his worried eyes and walked out of the room. Fortunately, it was a hundred days in broad daylight, but I was not so afraid.

"I said I didn't have any money. He owes you gambling debts, you go to him to pay him, why do you come to me to ask for it? Zhao Suer shouted so loudly that it drove her sleepiness away.

There were two men with arms thicker than her thighs standing outside the door, although people were not good-looking, but she still wanted to say that those two people were thieves and didn't look like good people.

"You are his daughter, he owes a lot of gambling debts and runs away without a trace, we don't look for you, who wants it!"

"I don't have this kind of father who doesn't care about the life and death of his children! You can't go, you can't go, don't you go? Zhao Suer went around to the kitchen and took a kitchen knife out, and said viciously while waving the knife, "Since you don't want me to live, then let's just end up together!" ”

Although the two men were sturdy, they were also afraid of the sharp knife, and they put down the cruel words, "Toast and don't eat and drink, okay, you wait!" ”

Zhao Suer watched the two men walk away, and he couldn't control his emotions, and squatted on the ground and cried.

Gu Changsheng hurriedly went down the stairs and rummaged through his clothes before he remembered that he was different from other girls' families and would not carry Luo Pa with him. Zhao Suer heard the footsteps, quickly wiped her tears, and when she got up, she lowered her head slightly and didn't want others to see her crying red eyes, "Girl, you got up so early, do you want to make breakfast?" ”

Gu Changsheng said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Suer discussed, "Can you make two more portions when you make breakfast later?" ”

Gu Changsheng nodded, Zhao Su thanked him, and picked up the table that was crushed yesterday and went to the back to repair it. Before Gu Changsheng entered the kitchen, he saw her pick up a hammer and nail the part where the table legs were connected to the tabletop, trying to stabilize the table, but when she came out with breakfast, she found that she was still knocking on that place.

Gu Changsheng brought breakfast upstairs, and only said to Xi Zixu that I would go out for a while, and ran away without permission. She turned back and said to Zhao Suer, "I'll help you." "Then I picked up a hammer and nailed it, and in two or three clicks the table was fixed." Is it going to be in the same place? ”

Zhao Su choked, and the tears that had been stopped began to burst again, "I'm really useless, I can't even repair a table." ”

Gu Changsheng was a little flustered, she just wanted to help, but she didn't expect to make people cry. She was clumsy, and she didn't know what words to say to comfort. She has only made one friend to Tian Bao, and Tian Bao only laughed in front of her before his death, and did not cry.

Naturally, Tian Bao's smile is different from Zhao Suer's laughter, not swallowing the pain in his stomach.

Changsheng said, "You are already very capable of taking care of such a large inn by yourself. ”

Zhao Suer shook his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he felt that he couldn't wipe them all, "This inn wasn't like this before. My mother is very good at taking care of accounts, and my father is a good cook. Under their care, although this inn is not the biggest and best in the town, the business is very good, and it is enough for our family to have enough food and clothing. ”

She paused, and there was a lot of resentment in her words, "Until my father became addicted to gambling and took all the valuable things in the family as pawns, just to have money to gamble, my mother didn't listen to him no matter how much he persuaded him." When you can't pay off your debts, you just walk away and throw the mess at us. It's just that the debts are high, and I can't pay them back, my mother died of illness in order to pay off the debts, and now my brother and I are left. ”

"What about your brother......"

Zhao Su said, "I was sick and raised in the room." He is not in good health, I didn't mean to deceive you, but there are no more guests in the inn, let alone buy medicine, and soon there will be no money to buy rice. Many times I thought that it would be better to sell the inn and raise money to take my brother back to my mother's hometown to join relatives. Why do you have to make yourself so tired. ”

Changsheng glanced at the old and dilapidated tables and chairs that can be seen everywhere here, although they are not worth much, but there is always something precipitated in the passage of time, and the memory is engraved on the tables, chairs and benches, brick by brick.

It's like the Yama Temple that raised her, if it's easy to give up, it's not home......
