The fortune telling is false, and the trick Qu Jincun tells his own heart is true.

However, Qu Jincun kept staring at the fish, even if he didn't say anything, he couldn't see the meaning of doing it.

"This fish doesn't have any spines," Molly said with a smile, her face unusually clean against the red fire, "it's our specialty wakame fish, and there's only one big spine on its body, so it's good to avoid it." ”

It seemed that because of her assurance, Qu Jincun, who had been hesitating, took a small bite of the grilled fish that exuded an attractive aroma, and chewed carefully for a long time before swallowing it.

…… Well, Boss Qu hates or fears fish bones, which Molly quietly notes.

The tender fish has a crispy skin on the outside and a soft meat on the inside, and because only a layer of salt is smeared on the outside of the skin without any other spices, the grilled fish tastes exceptionally original.

With Qu Jincun's appetite, he could eat ten of these palm-sized fish, but after he ate one very slowly, he politely refused the second one handed by Molly.

And Molly didn't force it, she turned the firewood and muttered to herself: "If I can't get married in the spring, I think I'll have to find a cook to do." ”

The man by the fire didn't say anything, and after a long time, he began to slowly spin the brass gossip in circles, and he agreed to tell Molly's fortune.

After another moment, he slowly raised his head and said to Molly: "The girl's life is diluted and peaceful, although I can't see the marriage, but you have no worries about food and clothing all your life, and it is a very good life among women." ”

Molly endured it, and then she couldn't help but not curl the corners of her lips - if she wasn't familiar with the plot of the strategy, Chong Qu Jincun's current god stick appearance would still be quite admirable.

But the plot says that he is the son-in-law who was expelled from the door after the family change, and now he is going to rush to the capital to join his uncle's house.

- However, maybe it's because she has a lot of charisma, so she quickly let Qu Jincun take off her guard?

Thinking like this, Molly made another bowl of soup and handed it over: "What the Taoist chief said is really good, let's use another bowl of soup." ”

In the crackling sound of matches, Qu Jincun silently sipped the soup, according to his original mood, it was tasteless to eat any food, and he really didn't have the heart to eat along the way.

Today's meal is when he leaves the house...... No, the most delicious meal he'd had since he was thirteen.

"If you don't dislike it, can you be a cook for me?" So, when he blurted out this sentence, he was a little caught off guard, "Well, I mean...... I have to go to Beijing to take the exam, and I have to live in the capital for a few months, and I lack a cook to take care of the food. The monthly money is as you like. ”

Molly burst out laughing.

"Feelings, your old man is not a true Taoist," the woman by the fire calmly rolled up her sleeves, "Fortunately, our peasant girl is not particular, otherwise we would have beaten out your fake Taoist priest with a broom." ”

Qu Jincun froze, and then hung his head silently.

"Thank you." He's still those two words.

As the night deepened, the wind and snow outside the house became more and more intense, and the roof was clattered by the thick layer of snow, Molly went to the back room to rest, leaving Qu Jincun to sit alone by the hearth.

Of course, she didn't have extra bedding for him, so let him, the old man, resist it himself.

Qu Jincun woke up from sleep by the hearth, and his neck hurt from napping, but he came like this all the way, and he was used to it.

In the second half of the night, the wind and snow not only did not subside, but became more and more raging.

Qu Jincun, who was half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly heard the sound of something slowly cracking, he suddenly raised his head, but saw that the beam above his head was cracking into two sections.

"Not good!" He gasped, and his first reaction was to tap the door of the inner room, "Girl, this house is going to collapse, get up-"

The timber of the beams looked sturdy, and it squeaked and shook as he spoke, but it didn't fall down immediately.

The inner room was soon opened, and Molly, who had not removed the clothes on her body, quickly grabbed a small package and came out, and when she looked up and saw the precarious beams, she also gasped.

Without saying a word, she pulled Qu Jincun and rushed out, and as soon as she opened the door, she heard a loud bang, and the beams of the whole room were completely broken.

A strong push on Molly's back, she involuntarily fell out of the house, but Qu Jincun was a small step behind, and the calf was pressed under the girder.

"Oh my God." Molly let out a low shout, unable to see clearly in the night, the collapsed house on the white snow was like a monster, latching on Qu Jincun's legs.

"It doesn't matter, it's not broken yet," I heard Qu Jincun's faint voice coming from the thatch falling from the roof, "the girl takes a sturdy wooden stick and lifts the girder, and my leg should be able to pull out." ”

At this moment, Molly was also frightened, she had never seen a living person have an accident in front of her, their strategy is generally based on the heart, and rarely involves the body, let alone human blood.

Qu Jincun said that he should have made the crowbar pry open the cumbersome girder, and Molly rummaged through it to find a rolling pin, carefully propped up a piece of hard soil underneath, and tried her best to move the girder.

The girder loosened slightly, Qu Jincun pulled out his legs hard, and still said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

He silently touched his legs and feet in the dark, and for a while, as if to comfort Molly, he said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it is not broken, fortunately, the girl rescued in time." ”

Molly, who was standing aside, suddenly felt like a piece of sour plum had been poked into her throat, and at this moment, she had a new understanding of Qu Jincun, a depressed patient.

――In these raider worlds (Inception), which are composed of layers of his subconscious, all his true thoughts are reflected, and the truth is that he is definitely not as cold and ruthless and manic as he appears in reality.

Qu Jincun should be a very soft-hearted guy.

Otherwise, he would not have thanked her for the first time, let alone comforted her, a "poor peasant girl".

"I'm tired of Childe," Molly said softly, "I'll carry Childe to the doctor." ”

"No, I don't." Qu Jincun, who was sitting on the ground in the dark, had been rubbing his legs and feet silently, "I can do it myself, I really didn't hurt it." ”

The snow slowly stopped, and a trace of fish belly white was revealed in the sky, and the two of them did not stay at the edge of the house for a long time, Qu Jincun felt that he could move and stood up as soon as possible.

Molly stepped forward and tried to support him: "Then go find someone else's house and spend the night again?" ”

Qu Jincun took a step back, signaled that he could go, and did not answer her question, but said again: "No, I'm going to hurry, you ...... Can you follow me and be my cook? ”

To his surprise, Molly replied very crisply: "Then do you need to say?" Can you let me hold on this time? ”

Qu Jincun was silent, a little shyly stretched out an arm, and then was firmly hugged by Molly.

"Now, we need an ox cart. Childe, do you have any money on you? ”
