0031 Hardship
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The fluttering snow covered the entire Youzhou into a silver world, and before dusk, the sky became darker and darker.
The ruined temples under the heavy snow were crumbling, the whirring north wind crackled the broken doors and windows, the dim oil lamp was barely panting and jumping, and the weak light flickered and dimmed, reflecting a thin and pale figure.
"Ahem...... cough cough ......" The thin figure in the dim light, stitch by stitch meticulously sewed the cotton clothes in his hand, not far away, the iron pot hanging above the bonfire was bubbling with the aroma of incense, curling through the dilapidated doors and windows to attract the returnees.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Someone pushed the door open, and a piece of snow blew in the ground.
"Coming back? What's the catch? The basket put down the needle and thread and helped him pat off the snow white all over his body.
"Today I hunted two hares and a pheasant, and it is winter, and the prey in the mountains is not easy to hunt." Yunxi said, his red palms pressed to his mouth and sighed, he said again, "Less is less, but it doesn't matter, I'll go hunting tomorrow." ā
The basket looked at his hand, a little distressed: "Let's bake the fire first, in case you have frostbite, you will be in trouble." ā
Yun Xi smiled, with a happy smile on his face, answered the word "good", and sat by the bonfire very obediently and made a fire, his face showed a slight flush: "Ugly girl, actually...... I think we're quite happy like this, and we can't go back to the capital anyway, or ...... Why don't you think about my proposal, okay......? ā
The work in the hands of the basket did not stop, but he laughed inaudibly: "You really don't dislike my face?" Even if you don't dislike it now, you will dislike it in the future. ā
Yunxi's face darkened, and he sat down beside her angrily: "Is this young man such a superficial person?" ā
Under the black mask, the coopter's eyes moved: "But you still don't dare to look at my face." ā
Yunxi's heart trembled...... "I...... Who said I wouldn't dare! ā
He said this against his will, and his trembling hands gradually took off the black mask, what kind of face was that......
Remember that nursery rhyme?
No skin, no face, no shame......
That face turned out to be really skinless......
In addition to the blood-red pitted face, the face can no longer see the slightest bit of its original appearance, and the two eyes also look like bull's eyes due to the impact of losing their face, round and huge, and they look like rotten zombies, miserable and terrifying!
"I ...... I ......" For a moment, Yunxi still took a few steps back uncontrollably, but it was too late for him to react.
"Don't force it, I know you're just guilty, that's not love." The basket turned his back and put the black mask back on, a wry smile on his lips.
This face is even afraid of her own eyes, let alone others? She didn't expect that Princess Rui would cut off her entire face, and the pain she endured at that time still makes her tremble when she thinks about it, if it weren't for Yunxi and Qingxu Dao, I'm afraid that she would have been hurt to death long ago. The so-called good will be rewarded with goodness, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter...... If she hadn't saved the life of the Void Daoist, would the **** have died on the way to Youzhou?
"Ugly girl, I'm really not guilty! I really want to take care of you! Yunxi was very excited, he held her hand tightly, his eyes were full of eagerness and sincerity, "You just let me take care of you, I will work hard to make money, you don't go to the street anymore!" ā
"I don't want to drag you down!" The colander broke free from his restraints, and his tone was a little cold, "I said, what a man can do, I can do it, I can support myself......"
"Do you really think so?" Yunxi was a little disappointed, "Do you know that none of the girls in the Li Kingdom are as showy as you to please men?" ā
The back of the basket stiffened.
"Do you know what you think of those listeners? It's a plaything, it's a joke, it's an object of ridicule and amusement! ā
"What do they think and what do I have to do with it?" The colander pursed his lips, "Wouldn't it be tiring if you had to look at other people's faces and live thinking about other people's thoughts every day?" As long as the goal is achieved, why do you need to know what the process will be? ā
Yunxi was speechless for a while, and he looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment, with a complicated look in his eyes. He admired, appreciated the difference between this maiden and other women; He also regretted that this girl would never understand the pampering and enjoyment that a woman should have......
She could choose to lean on the man's shoulder and cry, but she chose to hide her tears in her heart and try to smile at others......
"Yunxi, no matter what choice I make, you have to believe that the basket will never be willing to fall."
"Of course, the goddess will not fall willingly, have you ever heard of a god who is willing to fall?" The broken door was pushed open again, and the Qingxu Taoist who was crumbling with a wine bottle in his arms entered the house upside down, his crimson face was full of drunkenness, and he laughed and said, "Self-depravity is the patent of man, how can God be?" Belch. ā
"It's a lot of wine...... Old urchin, you've drunk too much again! Yunxi frowned, eager to throw this drunkard out of the window, his angry knuckles rattled, but after all, he still endured it, the so-called one day as a teacher and a father for life, and filial piety for all things, who made him his master?
Qingxu Dao Ren Tian shamelessly rubbed on Yunxi's clothes, leaving two black paw prints on his clean clothes: "Ouch, Xiaoxi'er actually wants to hit the old man, it really makes the old man so sad......"
"Crackle...... Smack...... Bang-"
"Ouch!" The Qingxu Daoist wailed, got up from the vast snow and stomped his feet angrily: "Little stream! How dare you throw Lao Tzu out! ā
"What's wrong with throwing you, if you rub me dirty my clothes again, I'll throw you again!" This is the garment that the basket sewed for me...... He added in his heart.
Qingxudao's popular beard jumped a few times, and finally he returned to the house in a huff, this toss, most of the wine woke up, and he drank the broth with a grunt, and after eating and drinking enough, he lay down in the thick straw pile and slept contentedly.
"Ahem......" The basket coughed softly, for fear of waking up the sleeping Qingxu Daoist, and when she sewed the last cotton clothes, seeing that the night was getting deeper, Yunxi was still lying next to her and napping, so she had to wake up Yunxi and let him go to sleep.
The wind outside the house was still blowing, the snow was still howling, and the sleeping master and apprentice were curled up and obviously a little cold...... The colander put a quilt of her own on the two of them, rubbed her numb and red hands, and walked out of the door towards the downtown two miles away......
