Chapter 14: My Birthday
One of the things I have to do every time after cleaning up that worm is to take Xia Ling to the water tank and wash it, otherwise I will have a shadow around my waist like this.
"What, you're fighting that bug again?"
Behind him, Chihiro's voice rang out. I scooped up the almost washed Xia Ling from the water, and used a small spell to dry the water stains on it and tie it back to my waist.
"I always feel that your authority is not enough." I turned to Chihiro and said.
Qian Fan frowned and said, "How do you say this?"
"You planted the vegetables behind the house, you look at the big fat worm, it's like eating the weeds on the roadside, every time you eat without scruples, it's not me, those vegetables are long gone." I said that every time he ignored it, as if he was eating someone else's.
"If you want to eat, people will eat too!" Chihiro remained unmoved.
"It's for nothing." I say.
"Alright, you're justified, alright! Every time you hit it, you waste a lot of dishes. Qian Fan said as he opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it.
The folding fan in his hand, which was originally blank, was a family of three on which I drew a stickman on a boring morning seven years ago. I thought he would throw it away, but I didn't expect it to be used until now.
"It's wrong, and I'm justified, then you go and take that worm home and raise it, it's easier to raise it than to take care of me." I don't know where my temper came from for a while.
Qian Fan stared down at me and said with a smile: "I think it's better to take care of you, you look much cuter than it!" After saying that, he reached out and pulled my fox ear, and then said, "I'm tired all afternoon, are you hungry?"
I touched the ear that was pulled by him, and said aggrievedly: "Can you not be hungry, I drank a bowl of rice porridge at noon in a few days, and you still let the family do such heavy work." ”
"This time I just asked you to water a vegetable patch, and next time, you will water the entire Cangshan tree. Gone, go back to dinner. Before the words fell, Qian Fan had already turned around and left.
I followed, and said stiffly, "Actually, it's not that good, who wants to drink it."
Qianfan nodded and said, "Well, it's okay if it's not delicious, so that you don't drink it secretly in the future."
I grimaced at him behind his back and said to myself, just don't drink it.
"Wow! It's so rich! ”
When I entered the dining room, I was dazzled by the table of dishes in front of me. In the past ten years, the most dishes we have eaten are the vegetable feast, which is only six bowls, and this time, there are nine bowls on the table.
At a cursory glance, there are a lot of chickens, ducks, fish, meat, as well as wild mushroom soup, vegetables from their own vegetable fields, and so on......
I couldn't help but ask Qianfan, who had just served me a meal, "Is it your birthday today?"
Chiso motioned for me to sit down, I pulled up a chair and sat down across from him, only to hear him say, "I have long forgotten what day it was on my birthday, do you remember what day it is?"
In the end, it turned out to be a thousand rhetorical questions, but I remember what day it was, and I can't even figure out what month it is.
"Ten years ago today, I brought you to Cangshan." Chihiro said.
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you remember it so clearly?"
Qian Fan picked up a delicate wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine into the glass in front of him, and said, "It's only ten years, why don't you remember."
"The dishes on your table won't be prepared for me, will they? Celebrating my 10th anniversary in Cangshan? ”
I asked him a little incredulous, and the answer was, "Of course it's for you."
"Huh?" I think I misheard.
It turned out that Qianfan hadn't finished speaking, and what he said later was: "You slept for three days, and these dishes I bought will be even less fresh if you don't eat them, and they just make up for you."
"Huh!" I laughed dryly twice, and said, it's still so troublesome.
"Remember your birthday?" While asking me, Chihiro took a chicken leg and put it in my bowl.
Every time I eat chicken or duck, Chihiro will clip a chicken leg for me, so I'm not surprised now. And I really can't answer the question he asked.
"Actually, I calculated, two hundred and sixteen years ago today, it was your birthday."
Qianfan's words are light and light, but my heart is quite shocked. Although I know that I have lived for more than 200 years, when I say it, I can't help but think in my heart: I have lived for so long, and I have been reincarnated as a mortal for several lifetimes!
"What month is today, what day?" Coming out of the shock, I asked Chimanu.
"June, 6th." Chihiro said.
"I never knew I was born on this day." I said, wondering if I would have to throw a birthday party for myself the rest of the day. It's just that I don't remember the time very well, and it looks like I'll have to make my own calendar tomorrow.
This night, we didn't finish the table of dishes, although one of us is a fairy and the other is a demon, but our stomachs are so big, and we will hold up if we eat too much.
Not long after the meal, I changed back into my original form as a fox. As usual, Chihiro drank tea for a while before going to bed.
Lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight leaking in through the window, I asked Chihiro, "Have you always lived here alone?"
"How do you ask this?" Thousands of rhetorical questions.
"Just asking." I say.
After a while, Chihiro asked me, "Do you think it's too boring to live here all the time?" ”
I shook my head, and suddenly remembered that it was night, and the night pearl in the house was also covered, and Qianfan couldn't see my movements, so he had to say, "No! It's good here. ”
It's really nice here, free and easy, and I'm not afraid of others pointing at me and calling me a goblin.
"Sleep, tomorrow we will go and pick some fruit, and make some good wine."
"I don't have my share." I muttered.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the bright moon hanging in the air outside the window moved from the left corner of the window to the right corner. In the forest not far away, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the insects are chirping, it is lively, but it is so quiet and peaceful......
After breakfast the next day, Qianfan and I each carried a basket and went to the fruit grove. On the way, I repeated what I would say every time I picked fruit and made wine.
"Why don't we use spells, if we make them with spells, they won't taste bad, right?"
"It's all about participation, that's what life is all about." This sentence must be answered every time.
But I still find it more fun to lie at home and sleep, or practice the spells I have cultivated.
When the fruit forest arrived, Qian Fanfei took an apple tree on his body and shouted to me who was still below: "I picked it and threw it down, you take it, don't break it." ”
I put the two baskets away, straightened up, and an apple slammed into my face. I raised my hand to catch it and carefully put it in the basket. Straighten up again, and an apple flies again.
I catch it, I put it down, I pick it up again, I put it down again. This is really a test of people's accuracy, so I admire my faster and faster skills......
