Chapter Seventy-Nine: Trickery and Redemption
Xiaolian happily packed up her things and went home, Ji Tianyou gave Jiang Zili a gift, and specially asked for a carriage to send it back, watching Xiaolian walk away with a smile on her face, Ji Tianyou sighed in her heart: Whenever there is a reunion, I will regret that I have no worries.
Ji Tianyou sent Xiaolian to the foot of the mountain and walked back slowly.
Although there are not too many peasant households living near the temple, there is also an endless stream of people coming and going, the temple itself is very large, in addition to the regular monks in the temple are lay disciples, they or are learning to participate in Zen, of course, most of them come to the temple as servants under the banner. The servants have a salary, monthly expenses, and they are all people who know the roots in the vicinity, so they are relatively relieved to manage.
These are all told by Lu Ying'er to Ji Tianyou, and the reason why she knows it is because she has been here a few times before.
Ji Tianyou looked at her suspiciously, "Didn't you only come once, why have you come back a few times?" β
Lu Ying'er just smiled and didn't answer her.
The old man who walked behind Ji Tianyou, carrying two baskets of vegetables on his shoulders, surpassed her lightly, and did not forget to turn around and smile at Ji Tianyou: "Little girl, the mountain road is not easy to walk, right?" Is it a guest staying in the temple? β
Ji Tianyou put his hands on his knees, took a breath and said, "Uncle, your legs and feet are really good, you can pick up so many things and be so light as a swallow." β
Ji Tianyou envied the old man and walked away, standing on the side of the road, not wanting to leave.
The spring flowers had bloomed, and the splendor of the flowers like stars temporarily attracted her attention, and she slowly walked to the flowers on the side of the road with the rattan.
Ji Tianyou climbed very slowly, very hard, she thought that she was only a few steps away from the ground, who would have thought, when she looked down, it was as high as a wall.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, the more she looks, the more panicked she becomes, her legs are trembling, her heart is pounding, and she doesn't know where to stretch her feet when she wants to go down.
"It's over, I'm going to fall to my death." Ji Tianyou cried in her heart, she didn't expect that after breaking through the bandits' den and avoiding the explosion, after surviving all the hardships, she would fall to her death on a mountain road.
Despite such pessimistic thoughts, she tried her best to test downward. After all, it was not in vain, as if he had found a place to stay, so he moved down with difficulty, during which a few people passed by, they were curious to watch for a while, and then left, no matter how Ji Tianyou shouted, no one paid attention to her.
Just now, I felt that the people in the mountains were simple, and now the good impression has been exhausted, Ji Tianyou hung his head and only cared about saving himself.
With such a steep hill, I didn't have to worry about climbing up, and when I got to go down, I realized what kind of fear I needed.
"Ahh The soles of Ji Tianyou's feet slipped, the rope grass under her feet fell off, and the whole person slipped down screaming, she closed her eyes and thought, this time she was sure to die.
She felt that she had fallen, and she had indeed fallen, but she felt that the ground that was not hard had caught her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Zili's face.
Ji Tianyou frowned and asked in disbelief, "Did you catch me?" β
Jiang Zili looked at the person in his arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise?" β
Ji Tianyou struggled to come down, and this time, he got his wish without much effort.
"Why are you here?" Ji Tianyou tidied up his dress and asked casually.
"Of course I'm following you." Jiang Zili said seriously.
As soon as Ji Tianyou's words of thanks came to her mouth, she changed her tone, she glanced at him fiercely, and walked forward angrily. As he walked, he talked: he couldn't talk to him properly, and he always looked like a scoundrel when he opened his mouth.
Jiang Zili smiled slightly and chased after her, he didn't tell her, he just happened to pass by, and he saw her like a spider being hung up high, his cat was in a corner that she couldn't see, secretly sent away all the people who wanted to help, he couldn't help but want to tease her, and the hope after disappointment would be more memorable.
Jiang Zili caught up with her, looked at her sideways and smiled, even if he didn't say anything, he felt that the road was extremely beautiful.
"Every time I want to thank you, you always have the ability to make that thank you a curse, how do you do that?" Ji Tianyou finally couldn't help it and asked him seriously.
Jiang Zili smiled, and suddenly stood in front of her very seriously and said, "What I want to hear is not thank you, what does it matter if you say it or not." β
Ji Tianyou couldn't see his sudden tenderness the most, she took a step back defensively, and began to stutter again, "Then what do you want to hear?" β
When she said this, she began to regret it, and before Jiang Zi left the mouth, she covered her ears and ran away.
Jiang Zili didn't know anything about her intentions, it was a lie, but she knew that it was impossible, so it was better not to give him a chance to speak, saving his face.
Jiang Zili looked at the girl who fled in a hurry, and smiled into a good-looking arc, he never felt any regrets in life, but now he looked at the back of the rabbit who left in a hurry, and he was still afraid of regrets for so long.
Ji Tianyou pushed open the courtyard door with a red face, turned around and leaned against the closed wooden door, she looked down at her toes, and her heart seemed to be countless deer jumping around.
In the final analysis, she is just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, except for her infatuation with Su Xiaoman, her feelings for other people are as pure as a blank piece of paper, and it is the first time she has been loved like this.
Immersed in panicked happiness, Ji Tianyou must not know that he went to the wrong door.
The third aunt, who was talking and laughing with a man in the courtyard, stared at Ji Tianyou in surprise for a long time, and she quietly took back the man's hand and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to cover up.
"Didn't the fifth sister go to the wrong door, or did she come to my sister's place for the first time?" The third aunt got up and walked over, scaring Ji Tianyou, who had no idea.
Ji Tianyou looked around before she came back to her senses, she scratched her head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry sister, looking at my memory, I can still go to the wrong yard." β
As he spoke, he was about to go out the door, but was stopped by the third aunt.
"It's all here, how can there be a reason to go, come and come, it just so happens that my sister has a guest here, if my sister doesn't dislike it, I'll have lunch here, right?"
"Not really, right?" Ji Tianyou tried hard to find any reason to refuse, she really didn't like the third aunt very much, and she didn't like the man next to her, just like the man Li last time.
"Sister, this is looking down on my sister." The third aunt saw that she couldn't keep me, so she replaced it with a threat, "Doesn't my sister know my origin, and she can't dislike it?" β
"No, no, no, no." Ji Tianyou hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just afraid of disturbing my sister"
The third aunt changed her smiling face, grabbed Ji Tianyou's hand and pulled it over, "Cough, what's the disturbance here, it's all my own family, I heard that your maid has taken a leave of absence, no one will cook for you, you can come to me for dinner these days, sit down, don't be restrained." β
After a speech, Ji Tianyou pressed Ji Tianyou on the chair, and immediately turned around and asked his subordinates to cook.
Ji Tianyou laughed, unspeakably awkward, so he had to bite the bullet and say polite words, "Then disturb my sister." β
The man next to him glanced at Ji Tianyou from time to time, and said with some doubts: "Is this the legendary fifth aunt, I have heard of it for a long time, and I saw it like a fairy today." β
The man picked up the teacup and replaced the wine with tea to toast Ji Tianyou, and Ji Tianyou lowered his head and took a symbolic sip, not knowing how to answer.
The third aunt chuckled and said, "Our fifth aunt is famous, a few years ago, our husband took her to a party, I don't know how many heroes and heroes my sister drunk?" The entire Liuzhen knows that the fifth aunt of Jiangfu is too outstanding, and she is not drunk in a thousand cups, but not many people have seen it, and you are blessed today. β
Ji Tianyou glanced at the third aunt with her eyebrows, she knew that the fifth aunt in their mouth was talking about Zhao Yansu back then, but others didn't know it, the third aunt said this deliberately, it could only be to get her drunk, she couldn't help but think of that Lord Li, could it be that the old trick would be repeated again?
"I'm sorry, under special circumstances today, I can only replace wine with tea, and I will respect you again when I have the opportunity in the future." Ji Tianyou is accompanied by tea instead of wine.
The third aunt's face was a little unbearable, she didn't expect to be so unsympathetic to herself for a few days, and said with a dry smile: "It seems that my sister's affection is not big enough, or it is good, it can't be difficult for others, so let's do it another day, but I still have to eat." β
The third aunt turned her head to urge the food, and only Ji Tianyou and the unknown man were left on the table.
Without jurisdiction and restraint, the man looked at Ji Tianyou without any scruples, and said after a while: "I have seen Zhao Yansu, you are not her." β
Ji Tianyou was startled at first, took a sip of the teacup, lowered his eyes and said, "You remember wrong, the fifth aunt of Jiangfu is called Ji Tianyou." β
The man held on and said: "The name may be mistaken, but the beauty is definitely unforgettable, although you are beautiful but not coquettish, her foxy appearance still makes me unforgettable." β
Ji Tianyou moved the bench outward, looked at him vigilantly, and said after a while: "I'm just a little concubine, I have never gone out in the house, even if I am coquettish and charming, I am only in front of our master, you are too worried." β
The man said "oh", stared at Ji Tianyou thoughtfully, and had to sigh: "Jiang Yihan, this guy is romantic, but he is blessed, and such a good beauty has been disappointed one by one." β
Ji Tianyou lowered his eyes and drank tea and stopped talking, and waited awkwardly for the third aunt to bring the meal.
The man and the third aunt were drinking wine and chatting about some past events, Ji Tianyou was bored and eating, and guessed in his heart that this person might be the guest of the third aunt when she was the kiln sister.
They occasionally said some meat words, and the third aunt glanced at Ji Tianyou, who was red-faced, and couldn't help laughing.
Never had a meal been so depressing, Ji Tianyou sighed, it was a waste for her to eat without knowing the taste.
Ji Tianyou picked up the teacup and poured a big sip violently, and when he drank it in his mouth, he realized that he had been tricked, and he didn't know when the tea was replaced with wine.
Ji Tianyou's flushed face was laughed at by the two of them.
"Third aunt!" Ji Tianyou was about to explode, but was held down by the third aunt.
"Good sister, don't be annoyed first, it's all to blame for my sister's stubbornness, and my sister is unhappy. Come, I'll punish myself with three cups, and if it's not enough, then thirty cups. After the third aunt finished speaking, she drank cup after cup with her head raised.
The man didn't stop him, but watched with interest.
Ji Tianyou was very angry at first, but he couldn't stand the apology of the third aunt with such a posture, one cup after another, and after a while, most of the bottles of wine went into his stomach.
"Sister, don't drink it." Ji Tianyou saw that she was still going to pour wine, so he held the wine bottle and refused to give it to her.
"Can that sister forgive me?" At this time, the third aunt was too slightly drunk, no matter how much she drank, she couldn't stand up to drinking so quickly.
Ji Tianyou nodded reluctantly, forced forgiveness is always not so calming.
The third aunt suddenly handed over a wine glass to Ji Tianyou's arms and said, "Then you can have a drink with me, even if you forgive me." β
Ji Tianyou ignored her and only asked her to sit down. Who thought that the third aunt was too unrelenting, snatched the wine bottle and filled it tremblingly, swallowed a glass and swallowed it again, "If you don't drink it, you won't forgive me, then I'll keep drinking like this." β
Ji Tianyou thought to himself: You drink it, it doesn't matter what happens to me if you drink it to death. But when I think about it, I really can't bear to watch her drink like this.
After saying a good thing, her lips were dry, and the third aunt kept drinking, and in the end, Ji Tianyou had no choice but to drink a cup with her head held high.
Ji Tianyou was so naΓ―ve, she thought that drinking this cup would stop, who knew that this was just the beginning.
She was drunk with wine, and she didn't have the determination at the beginning, and under the disguised coaxing of those two people, she drank drunk after a while.
The third aunt gave a look, let the man come forward, and said ambiguously: "My little sister is very simple, soft-hearted and good, if it weren't for you, I would be reluctant to hit her attention." You're kind to her. β
The man said "yes" perfunctorily, hugged Ji Tianyou and went to the house.
At this time, there were only three of them in the courtyard, and the next person had already been taken away by the third aunt. The idea of fighting Ji Tianyou can be said to be improvised, they thought they were a perfect plan, but they ignored Jiang Zili on the other side.
Of course, they didn't know how Ji Tianyou, who was drunk last time, abused Li Dahu.
Ji Tianyou was placed on the bed, and he opened his eyes in a daze, not knowing what was waiting for him. When she saw a figure, she thought it was Xiaolian.
"Aren't you home, why did you come back so soon?" Ji Tianyou shook his body and sat up and asked.
The man ignored her, but pounced.
Ji Tianyou was still giggling, she grabbed the man's head, held his face and looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a while before frowning and saying, "It's not Xiaolian." β
The man was already ****, how could he hold the beauty in his hand, he shook off Ji Tianyou's hand and kissed her neck.
At this moment, Ji Tianyou woke up, and sighed in his heart, "It's not Xiaolian, then who is this person?" β
"Look for death!" Ji Tianyou smashed the man's head with his elbow, and the unsuspecting thief was hit on the head and quickly rolled to the ground. (To be continued.) )
