Chapter 6: The Mystery of Life
Originally, there was a screen in her attic to divide the bathroom, but it was inconvenient for the man in blue to be here...... s。 I had to go downstairs to the bath room to bathe.
When Murong Jiu came downstairs, the old man Tianji and the dishes and chopsticks on the table were gone. Murong Jiu estimated that the old man should wash the dishes.
Alas, it's a pity that the new good man in ancient times didn't find a teacher
Murong Jiu sighed as he entered the bath. He put the man in blue's clothes in an empty basin and scooped up water to soak them. Turn around and place your clean clothes on the screen next to the tub.
Speaking of bathing, we have to talk about the bathing system designed by Murong Jiu.
There was a special stove in the kitchen, not like the other side-opening stoves, but similar to the coal-burning stove she used in her previous life, before the nineties. The difference is that the stove at that time only had one opening at the bottom; Moreover, the one designed by Murong Jiu not only opened an opening at the bottom, but also opened an opening near the top for charcoal. There was no coal to burn, so charcoal was used instead. There is a big iron bucket on the stove for boiling water, the bottom of the barrel wall of the iron bucket is connected to a bamboo, the bamboo is connected to the bath bucket of the bath room, the water outlet of the bamboo is closed with a bamboo cover, and when the water is hot, it is opened, and the water can flow into the bath bucket, and there is no need to lift water bucket by bucket, and the bath room is also equipped with a wooden bucket for storing water. So you can adjust the temperature of the water you want.
This is Murong Jiu's first arrival in this other world, and it is convenient to design. No one has to watch all the time, and you don't have to struggle to lift water. Not elaborate, but practical. However, when the years were a little longer, the old man Tianji set up a bath bucket for Murong Jiu in the attic. Upstairs is not so convenient, Murong Jiu thought of a way, but he couldn't do it. Even if it is seclusion, it is impossible to call people to do the construction.
Although there are only two people in the valley, she and the old man of Tianji, there is always a difference between men and women. Murong Jiu still has some understanding of the thoughts of the ancients, even if she doesn't care, she has to worry about the thoughts of the old man of Tianji. However, the trouble is a little troublesome, it is regarded as practice, and it is also quite comfortable to bathe in your own room, how you want to soak yourself, and how long you like to soak.
Murong Jiu opened the bamboo lid and let the water pour into the bath bucket, and when the water was full, Murong Jiu decided to wash the clothes of the man in blue first.
When Murong Jiu washed and dried his clothes and returned to the bath room, the water in the bath bucket was almost full. After testing the water temperature, he took out a jade bottle and poured a few drops of jade dew water into the bath tub. This jade dew water was developed by Murong Jiu himself, which not only cleans the skin, but also nourishes the skin.
When he saw that the water was almost there, he took off his clothes, untied his hair, and buried himself in the tub.
"Hmm," Murong Jiu let out a comfortable soft groan.
Murong Jiu soaked in the bathtub, so comfortable that he was drowsy, afraid that he would really fall asleep, so he quickly cleaned it, dragged his wet hair, left the bath tub, wrapped his hair with a cotton towel, wiped his body with another one, put on his clothes and left the bath.
Murong Jiu left the bath room, but he didn't see the old man Tianji in the hall, and the room was not lit, so he walked to the door and looked, and sure enough, he saw the old man Tianji standing behind him, standing on the edge of the cliff.
In the first quarter of the moon, the moonlight is not very bright. However, for martial artists with strong skills, they can already see things as daylight.
And here, the old man Tianji's eyes are deep, you can't see what he has in his eyes, as if he is looking somewhere, and he doesn't seem to be looking at anything. The old man of Tianji thought back to the person Murong Jiu brought back today, although he didn't know why this person came to the Lechuan Forest. Indeed, their deeds are revealed.
No matter how powerful his martial arts are, he is always invincible with two fists and four hands, not to mention that a mountain has its own mountain and a mountain high, he is not a conceited person. In this way, Jiu'er is not completely safe to follow him, even if Jiu'er's martial arts have been passed on to him, but after all, the experience of the rivers and lakes is too shallow, he is in the ability, and there will be times when the whip is beyond the reach. Perhaps, it is time for her to know her background. I didn't say it before, but it was because of his selfishness. He likes the little girl who was cold and shrewd at a young age, and looked cute like a porcelain doll.
He took her as an apprentice because of her natural gifts; On the one hand, he is not used to loneliness. I hope she stays by his side, so that he can inherit his mantle and have a companion.
She woke up and forgot about it, although he really didn't know her background at the time, but, the jade pendant on her body; For ten years, I occasionally left the Lethe Forest and got the news from outside. All made him sure that she was the eldest lady Murong Feixue who had been looking for ten years in the Murong General's Mansion of Tianyao Kingdom.
Ten years ago, the enemy of Murong Haoxuan, the general of Tianyao Guozhen, captured Murong Feixue, who was only five years old at the time, and set up an ambush on the top of Wushan Peak, intending to kill Murong Haoxuan. Not wanting to be recognized by Murong Haoxuan and leading the troops to encircle and suppress him, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the other party threw Murong Feixue to the cliff to fight for a chance to escape. Murong Haoxuan missed a step and failed to save his beloved daughter. Heartbroken, he killed all his enemies under the sword, but he still didn't understand his hatred and actually divided his body. Then he led his troops to the bottom of the cliff to look for it, but he did not find Murong Feixue's body, and concluded that Murong Feixue was not dead but rescued. In the past ten years, he has been investigating openly and covertly, and has never given up.
In the past ten years, he left the Lethe Forest, Jiu'er has always followed, and she is also clear about the news he gets, and she must have associated it with her cleverness. But if she didn't ask, he wouldn't mention it. In his selfish heart, he didn't want her to leave, he was selfish
He kept her by his side for ten years, and no matter what the future holds, it was time for her to know her background. And Mo said that now that the Valley of Forgotten Worries is very likely to be exposed, he has also thought about letting her leave before. Moreover, the many forces behind her are an extra layer of protection for her. Even that home is not as good as the world thinks, and it can even be said to be dangerous. Two generals in a family are not a good thing in the eyes of the emperor. Even so, he couldn't hold her back anymore, and it was time for her to face it herself. Besides, things may not be as he thinks.
Murong Jiu stood at the door, wiping his hair, wondering what the old man was thinking, but he stood there motionless.
"Master, haven't you gotten tired of watching it for decades" Murong Jiu walked to Tianjiren's side, looked around the valley, and said jokingly.
"Jiu'er has thought about his life experience" The old man Tianji glanced at Murong Jiu, then looked back at the void again, and did not answer the question.
"Hmm" Murong Jiu was so startled by the old man's rhetorical question that he didn't react for a while. Master, what's the matter, why did Murong Jiu suddenly ask Murong Jiu didn't answer directly, but snorted softly in confusion, staring at the old man of Tianji, not wanting to miss a trace of abnormal reaction.
The old man of Tianji did not speak, but took out a piece of pure white, palm-sized jade carved from the palm of a newborn baby's hand, and handed it to Murong Jiu.
Murong Jiu stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant, and his heart was even more puzzled. Warm jade is the best; The jade face is carved with auspiciousness, and there is nothing special. Murong Jiu turned the jade pendant on the opposite side, only to see the word "Murong" engraved on the back of the jade pendant.
"This is" Murong Jiu asked suspiciously, although she had a question, but she probably also knew the intention of the old man Tianji, and a trace of panic flashed in her heart.
"When Master rescued you in Wushan, you were wearing a jade pendant." The old man of Tianji turned to face Murong Jiu, and said with deep eyes but an expressionless face.
Hearing this, Murong Jiu's thoughts in his heart were basically confirmed. In the past ten years, she has followed her master to leave the Lechuan Forest countless times, and she has not heard of the affairs of General Murong Mansion of Tianyao Kingdom, nor has she no thoughts. With no blood family, she doesn't know how to get along. She was afraid to face it, so she never wanted to confirm it. Now, Master is asking her to leave the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows.
