(732) Also be a slave under the stove
- There may really be such a thing as the will of heaven in the world.
If Liao Shi hadn't walked to the end of that dirt road and walked out of the line of sight of Lin Shan; Or rather, if it weren't for the fact that the low mountain range didn't stretch far and stopped the forest cedar from continuing to move forward...... Then, when the car with no wheels and only woven bamboo chips appeared in front of him, it was likely that the secret address of Medicine Valley would be difficult to hide anymore.
A carriage without wheels, if nailed out of planks, would look a bit like a coffin.
Thankfully not.
The bamboo pieces that are faintly still the color of green bamboo are tightly woven together, and when you approach this bamboo car, you can vaguely smell the aroma of green bamboo. The nodes on the bamboo pieces are staggered, and the rattan is passed through the thin seams between the bamboo pieces, and this weaving technique has a staggered beauty. However, the surface environment inside the bamboo car is still relatively flat, and the overlapping sharp head corners between the bamboo pieces and the bamboo pieces are meticulously woven outside.
However, when Yan Xingzhi, who was hurrying side by side with Liao Shi, saw this wheelless bamboo car suddenly "floating" to the ground, he only felt that his heart was full of surprise.
And when he saw that there were four other car bearers dressed in black, standing like pillars, with very young faces and waist-length silver hair, next to the car, his heart sank uncontrollably. Fortunately, he quickly remembered what Liao Shi had told him just now, and remembered these four ...... It may be that it was the hidden puppet that calmed his spirit a little.
However, although what he saw in front of him was not a ghost, the puppet was first-class, and it was almost like a living dead.
Yan Xingzhi took a closer look at the strange figures and faces of the four cart bearers, and soon noticed their bloodless lips. On their pale cheeks were two pale blue clusters, and their eyes were wooden. When you look at people, you can only look directly, but your eyes have pupils that seem to refract a glimmer of light like a feather. Such faces are lined with their waist-length silver hair...... It's like four geyers that haunt during the day.
The image of the hidden puppet that Liao Shi had just introduced to him. Immediately, half a word was reflected in these four people, although Yan Xingzhi had already learned about this situation one step ahead. But when he really saw the appearance of the hidden puppet with his own eyes, it still shocked him so much that he forgot how to speak for a while.
The puppets didn't give him a chance to speak.
For these hidden puppets, except for Liao Shi and the master in the Medicine Valley, the others are all outliers.
In the face of aliens, they will become extremely aggressive in an instant.
Just after looking at each other, a hidden puppet in the lower right corner of the bamboo car seems to have spotted its prey like a falcon. The originally slightly dull eyes suddenly became sharp. At the same time, his white hair flew away without wind and danced wildly in front of his face, obscuring his face. His sleeves, which were longer than the tips of his fingers, also fluttered up with his blade-like body, and instantly swept in front of Yan Xingzhi.
Yan Xingzhi suddenly felt that the white shadow in front of him was swept around, as if it was the result of the hidden puppet's face coming up and the silver hair coming in a wind. For a moment, he felt as if the air in his lungs had been squeezed out of his chest in an instant. A strong feeling of suffocation hit the brain, and the heart and lungs stopped beating together, and then lost consciousness.
"Help!"
Looking at Yan Xingzhi, who was rocking to the ground and falling, Liao Shi shouted loudly at the hidden puppet who had just flicked his black sleeves and spilled a piece of white powder.
The hidden puppet immediately stretched out another sleeve and stiffened his movements to support Yan Xingzhi.
But for the strict practice of losing only consciousness. The hidden puppet is just like a tree that doesn't take the initiative to make any subtle movements, so he just leans slightly against the canopy of this "tree", and his body continues to slide down to the ground like a piece of clothing that has been blown off by the wind.
"Hug!"
Liao Shi shouted another word at the hidden puppet.
The puppet stretched out another hand, and the two sides of the arm, which had been covered in long black sleeves and did not even show half of the fingers, formed a half-arc on the left and right, and formed a circle together. The hidden puppet used this still stiff movement to tie Yan Xingzhi's shoulders in the middle, temporarily supporting him from continuing to wither to the ground.
Liao Shi couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. Where is this support, where is the hug? This is similar to tying people with their arms, although Yan Xingzhi did not lie down on the cold ground at this time, if he was still conscious, he would definitely not feel very comfortable.
Liao Shi looked at the hidden puppet who was also staring at him blankly, and couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "Remember, when you see this person, you can let me go lightly!" If he's missing a hair, I'll stop you for three days!" ”
The hidden puppet with Yan Xingzhi wrapped around his arms was still motionless, staring at Liao Shi with a slightly dull gaze, and they were more like dead creatures who had left their souls than the possibility that they couldn't recognize such long words.
If these hidden puppets could still think, they would definitely be so frightened that they knelt down and pleaded guilty after hearing Liao Shi say this. Puppet people who are accustomed to being tempered by drugs must take a certain dose of medicine and food every day, otherwise they will lose some balance against ordinary people's physique, and the internal circulation will be counter-phagocytosis, which is very painful.
However, the four of them were able to be released from the Medicine Valley by the medicine doctor and come to such a far place to pick up Liao Shi back, obviously they were already very successful puppeteers. To their near-demon masters, they are obedient and loyal, but to ordinary people, they are puppets, living ghosts with heartbeats and unconscious.
Liao Shi sighed.
Many years ago, he went back to Medicine Valley to dissuade his junior disciples from stopping refining the hidden puppets, but the puppets who had already been refined could no longer change anything, so they could only stay in the Medicine Valley. Since then, Liao Shi and his junior brother agreed to return to the Medicine Valley once a year, and they would be sent off by these puppets all the way, which has been more than 20 years.
His junior brother who was close to the demon didn't know what to think, and he actually used medicine to control the living into this state, saying that they were Gu things, but it was not true, because Gu things couldn't be so perfect.
More than 20 years ago, these puppets were all teenagers in their early tens, and after being washed by the demon's junior brother with various drugs, they became such green-blooded and white-haired weirdos. After more than 20 years of change, the faces of these puppeteers still roughly remain the appearance of young people.
Liao Shi saw the subtle changes of this Xuan puppet with his own eyes, although he was surprised. But I barely got along for more than 20 years, and I slowly got used to it.
But in recent years, there have been some special cases on my side, and I have first learned through the hard work of this kid who is strictly practiced. He couldn't get out, and then something happened to Lin Shan. He followed him to the Northland, and wanted to keep Lin Shan's whereabouts secret...... has been involved in all kinds of trivial matters, and I haven't been back for more than four years.
I don't know if the junior brother who is close to the demon in Medicine Valley is anxious and crazy, and what new tricks he has come up with.
However, just looking at the appearance of these four puppeteers, although they are dull and wooden, Liao Shi can recognize them. These four people are still the same four people. It seems that although he has not returned to the Medicine Valley as agreed in recent years, his junior brother is still abiding by the agreement, and there are no new puppets.
Looking at Yan Xingzhi, who seemed to be able to barely stand on the trunk of a tree by a thick rope, Liao Shi grabbed his messy hair. I struggled to think about a command that I hadn't used in more than four years. This puppet is not his work, and the password to control the puppet is also made up by his junior brother, so he will be rusty if he doesn't use it for a long time. At this time, it was even more difficult for him to remember these cold and hard passwords than to ask him to recite the full text of the twenty-seven pharmacopoeia of the medicine valley.
I thought about it for a long time to no avail. Liao Shi frowned, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the bamboo cart without wheels, but he couldn't exhale any words of command in his mouth.
The tightly bound puppeteer's gaze fell on Liao Shi's waving fingers, and his eyes rolled halfway. After standing for a moment, he finally moved. The two arms, wrapped in long black sleeves, did not even show half of their fingers, still maintaining a circular posture, clamping Yan Xingzhi's shoulders and walking towards the bamboo cart.
When Liao Shi saw this scene, he was slightly happy in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: I haven't gone back for a few years, it seems that although the junior brother has not refined a new hidden puppet, he has transformed the existing puppet again. Although the puppeteers are still not as clever as normal people, compared to the stiff appearance before, these puppeteers are not so troublesome to summon now.
Thinking like this in his heart, Liao Shi saw that the puppet man lifted Yan Xingzhi's body up like a wooden stake, and then threw it onto the bamboo cart.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Rao is bamboo car has more elasticity than the bamboo car, which can alleviate some of the impact trauma caused by falling directly on the body, but Liao Shi, who was watching this scene, still felt a little painful.
For a moment, he seemed to forget that he was not the one who had fallen.
So he was annoyed again, and he didn't care if the puppets could understand it or not, and immediately scolded again: "Bastard! Can't you see that this is a living person? It's not chopping wood! What should I do if I fall like this? l account! ”
While scolding this sentence, Liao Shi deeply felt in his heart that he seemed to have made a mistake in choosing when he used this puppet man from the beginning. It is very likely that this puppet man is specialized in rough work in the medicine valley, and it is common to carry firewood, medicine jars, and stones, so everything seems to him to be this kind of thing.
Liao Shi scolded the bastard a few times in a row, but the puppet people were still indifferent, still standing motionless, looking at Liao Shi with a stiff line of sight, as if this master who could only kill them was just one thing.
Liao Shi sighed again.
He had never been more irritated than he was when he summoned these puppeteers before. I don't know when he got used to the humble but very intelligent young man's follower around him, so now he is naturally a little unaccustomed to these puppeteers who can still maintain the face of a teenager.
Jumping on the bamboo cart in silence, Liao Shi finally remembered a password, and hurriedly shouted: "Sleep!"
Immediately, two puppeteers moved and pulled out two things from the mezzanine at the bottom of the bamboo cart, a stack of quilts and a pillow.
"Up!"
With the most vivid command exhaled, the two puppeteers stepped back, and together with the other two puppeteers, they lifted the four corners of the wheelless bamboo cart, and their bodies jumped to a height of about three feet above the ground like leaves, and began to glide into the distance.
Liao Shi spread the quilt on the bamboo cart and overlapped it so that the quilt could be thicker and softer, and then he moved Yan Xingzhi, who had been drugged and had fallen into a deep coma, to lie down on the quilt, and put the only pillow under his head.
After suffering such a heavy fall, Yan Xingzhi didn't show the slightest sign of waking up, but the bruises on an inch of skin on the side of his face showed that he was thrown into the car by the puppet man, and the fall was really not light.
"It's really ruthless, it's really not human." Liao Shi muttered softly. But he can't do anything about that puppet. Even if they were to scrape them with a knife, they would not feel the pain. Asking them to die seems to be no different from pulling out a piece of grass.
And Liao Shi actually didn't move this puppet person. Because these puppets are all the works of their junior brothers.
Although the meaning of these works is a bit perverted, it has to be said that the master and disciple have spent a lot of wisdom and energy on these works. If these puppeteers are missing one in their own hands. Liao Shi wasn't sure if he could still dissuade his demon-friendly junior brother from going out of the valley to catch innocent teenagers and replenish the number of puppets.
Giving Yan Xingzhi a comfortable quilt and pillow, Liao Shi sat on the bare bamboo, he originally had a physique with many bones and thin flesh, and he felt a little awkward at first, but when he thought about it for a while and went back to deal with the junior brother who might have been irritable, he gradually forgot about the discomfort of the bumpy car.
After some thought, the result was quickly calculated, but in fact, the method was still the same old way. Two words: fighting medicine.
Compared with fighting in a group, the best way, the most confident and the most willing way for the junior brother to vent is to fiddle with his poison that he has always felt is unparalleled in the world.
After thinking about this matter thoroughly, Liao Shi's mind relaxed a little. The starting point is this small town in the Northlands. Although the journey back to Medicine Valley was not the four hundred miles he lied to Lin Shan, it was more than three hundred miles. With the inhuman foot strength of these four puppets, they kept on the road day and night, which took at least two days and two nights on the road. The journey was boring, and Liao Shi naturally remembered the old wine gourd hanging on his waist.
The sealing ability of the old gourd is obviously not as good as that of the clay pot. The mellow aroma of the old wine has always lingered around me, which is particularly refreshing and tickles people's hearts. Liao Shi felt that if he didn't drink all the wine, he would throw the gourd as far as he could. Don't let him smell that fragrance again, he won't want to get a good night's sleep tonight or tomorrow night.
Just do it, Liao Shi picked up the gourd, pulled out the wooden stopper, raised his head and swallowed a few mouthfuls.
The aroma of wine became more mellow, and among the four puppeteers who flew forward with the bamboo cart, the puppet man in the front left corner actually glanced back at Liao Shi without getting the password. When the puppeteer turned around, the four of them lost their balance when they lifted the car, turning Liao Shi upside down.
Liao Shi almost didn't squirt out the wine he had just swallowed, and it was because of this that he noticed the puppet man who looked back at him.
After being slightly stunned, Liao Shi didn't get angry again, but had a thought in his heart, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, wine is also a kind of medicine, it's just ...... Could it be that these puppets also eat alcohol? Senior brother, junior brother, I don't know what you have done in the Medicine Valley in the past few years. More than 20 years ago, you just fooled your brother, but don't try that on yourself. People can only prolong their lives, but they can't really live forever, no matter how good we are at medicine, we can't afford that! ”
As soon as he raised his neck, he swallowed a few more mouthfuls, and the fifty-year-old precious wine in the old gourd was almost exhausted, and even if there was, it was only a little wetness at the bottom of the gourd.
-- If the owner of the wine takes back the old gourd, he will use these drops of wetness at the bottom of the gourd as a blended puree, mix it with new wine and sell it, which is at least comparable to three years of wine, and make another profit.
But Liao Shi didn't think about so many ways to make profits, at this time, he just looked at the puppet who turned back as if he was very greedy, and threw the empty gourd out easily.
The purpose of the puppet man's turn back was indeed to target the wine gourd in Liao Shi's hand. Seeing the gourd flying out, the puppeteer immediately flicked his long sleeves and rolled the gourd in front of him and flipped it.
Only a drop of wine fell, exactly on the puppeteer's outstretched tongue.
The puppet man seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then made a soft sound of "ho ho" in his throat, although it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, but it could make a puppet person take the initiative to express his feelings, which showed the power of that drop of old wine.
The puppet man seemed to have a little self-consciousness, and recognized that the old gourd was empty, and he didn't mean to be angry, but he didn't throw away the empty gourd, but held the gourd in his mouth, which looked quite funny.
Seeing this scene, Liao Shile smiled, and suddenly another thought popped up in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was even happier.
If the junior brother really made a wine cellar in the medicine valley, then going back this time would be much more interesting than in previous years.
Haha, when it comes to fighting, he is definitely not as good as me!
Dump him! Then it's convenient to do your own thing.
Liao Shi thought so in his heart. Bearing the strength of the wine, laughing and singing:
The rough path begins with a foot,
Old wine tied around the waist;
Bareheaded light platform.
Alone in the sky.
※※※※※※
The wheelless bamboo cart was high and low, and quickly traveled through the mountains and forests towards the general direction of the medicine valley. Such a car, such a waiter. It's all too weird, and Liao Shi certainly wouldn't choose to bring such an anomaly to the main road where pedestrians often pass by.
However, picking the deep mountains and old forests as the path back to the medicine valley really won't attract attention?
Returning to Medicine Valley in such a low-key way, in the past, Liao Shi had indeed tried many times, and none of them had leaked his whereabouts because of this. But this time today, the road conditions on his way back may have to change a little.
About half an hour ago. The guards in Lin Shan's residence were divided into three ways and scattered to the west, south, and north of the town to find Lin Shan. Because Lin Shan's whereabouts to the town in the north still need to be kept secret, the guards went to the field in civilian clothes to look for it, and they did not call all the way.
Therefore, Liao Shi, who was full of wine and was only thinking about getting to the medicine valley quickly, did not find that a few people were evacuated in the forest.
The low-key guards saw the car being carried by four white-haired men. At first, they only thought that they had encountered some strange people in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't plan to cause trouble other than the main business of this trip, so they were going to avoid it.
However, when they smelled the wine and heard the familiar voice, they couldn't help but look closely. And soon when he saw the old and the young in the car, several guards were all stunned.
"This ...... What is this......"
"Where did those white-haired men come from? Has the old pharmacist been hijacked? Shall we save him?"
"No, those white-haired people are at the behest of the old medicine man......"
"Those few people seem to be able to fly, is this the power of the rumored Chinese medicine valley heterogeneity?"
“……”
Several of the guards scattered in the mountains and fields quickly gathered together, looked nervous and spoke very quickly. It didn't take long for a unanimous decision to be reached.
One guard lifted an iron pipe to the sky, and the other blew on the fire fold, lighting the half-cut lead left under the iron pipe.
At this time, the sunset has completely slid down the western sky, but the sky is not completely dark, and this fireworks are used as a communication signal, although the effect cannot be transmitted too far, but it is enough to summon the nearest guards.
Signal fireworks erupted from the iron pipe, piercing the zenith like a meteor gliding backwards.
The bamboo cart without wheels had already left the guards behind him for miles with the speed of flying forward, but when the signal fireworks in the forest from an unknown location to the sky burned to the brightest, the puppeteer in the front right corner of the four puppeteers carrying the bamboo cart suddenly raised his head.
Although the puppeteers have a wooden expression and have lost their sense of self, this alien state seems to have really given them some alien skills. The silent fireworks and faint light pierced their strange nerves.
Seeing this scene out of the corner of his eye, Liao Shi also looked up.
Then he frowned slightly, the comfortable expression he had just had when he was singing happily with wine was gone, and one of his hands touched the medicine box resting beside him.
However, his withered fingers only rubbed twice on the worn and rough skin of the medicine box, and without any other movement, he released the medicine box again.
"Don't come along." The old medicine man muttered to himself.
After a little hesitation, he took out two copper coins from his sleeve pocket, tore a few threads from his clothes and rubbed them together, strung them together, and hung them on a corner of the bamboo cart.
The bamboo cart, which is high and low, swayed the two copper coins strung together, making a crisp copper sound of "ding ding". Hearing this sound, the four puppeteers carrying the cart seemed to have been suddenly beaten by a galloping horse with several whips, and their bodies jumped faster, and the distance between the jumps and lands was also longer.
The old man in the car had already lowered his eyes and relaxed his shoulders and leaned on the side of the railing, as if this sleep had passed, and he would be able to reach the Medicine Valley.
※※※※※※
When Lin Shan and his group of guards returned to the town from a hundred miles away, it was already nearly evening. It seems that from yesterday evening to this evening, the transition of time is so fast that it is just a switch of pictures.
Looking at the smoke column rising above the kitchens of every household in the town, and vaguely hearing the sound of the spatula scraping on the iron pot, Lin Shan felt that while his mind was calm, he also clearly felt that he was really tired after tossing and turning outside for a day.
After dinner, wash up and rest. A day can go by so quickly and so easily.
One of the guards saw their adults looking up at the roof of a house for a long time, and he followed suit. But apparently the corner of his gaze was very different from Lin Shan's, and soon everyone saw him raise his hand and point somewhere. Laughing and saying, "Look, the smoke is the thickest in that house's chimney." Their family should be able to eat smoked rice tonight. ”
One of the guards walking side by side with him also looked over there and said casually, "Maybe it's because the firewood hasn't dried it."
"Maybe it's a child who burns the fire in front of the stove, and the craftsmanship is not good!"
"I've only heard that cooking requires craftsmanship, just squatting in front of the stove to make a fire, which also requires craftsmanship?"
"As soon as I heard you say this, I knew that you were a man who only knew how to eat. The skill of burning the fire in front of the stove is great, and first of all, saving firewood is equal to consumption. Even in the countryside, collecting firewood takes time and energy. Again, a room full of firewood smoke, can you let the people who cook on the stove still open their eyes?"
"you...... And said me. If you don't open your mouth for food, you will just say a few words. ”
Listening to the fierce debate between the guards around him about a pillar of cooking smoke, although it sounds a little boring at first, but when you think about it, it can be regarded as a busy day outside. Back in the quiet town, find a little light talk.
Lin Shan suddenly smiled and said: "Burning a fire in front of the stove is actually really a science, and I can only open my mouth for food."
Several of the guards were stunned.
Lin Shan didn't speak again, but his thoughts suddenly flew away, flying to when he was still in Xingjia Village a few years ago. Lai was not at home that day, and he had the privilege of cooking a talent that he almost never used. As a result, although the child who was burning the fire in front of the stove controlled the heat very well, he still cooked a pot of rice to a pulp while standing next to the big iron pot.
That meal was really unpalatable and unforgettable, and the look of the child sitting at the table holding the bowl and frowning with disdain was also unforgettable to him, and when Li Shi came back, the child pulled her hand and grumbled for an hour, and he also remembered.
Those memories were not pleasant, but when he thought about it now, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
※※※※※※
When the sun was about to burn in the morning, Lin Shan didn't leave half an instruction, and suddenly went out with a few guards. Because of the changes in her mood caused by yesterday's events, Chen Jiu didn't pay much attention to it at first, and she also needed some separate time to sort out her feelings.
After staying in Lin Shan's bedroom all night, she was really tired, and after explaining some trivial matters and precautions for breakfast and lunch in the residence to the kitchen, she went back to her room to rest and slept until mid-afternoon.
It wasn't until late afternoon that she had a letter, because Lin Shan's departure was delayed.
But she didn't run out to find someone in person like the guards who looked for her yesterday, because the guards told her that Lin Shan had gone out with a group of more than a dozen people, and it seemed that there was something to do.
Fortunately, in the evening, he finally returned.
It was only at this time that the aged wine began to wash the pot and cook. The reason why she started the fire so late was that it was actually a test of people's patience and mood to cook here, and before Lin Shan came back, her mind was a little flustered; Second, the kitchen on this side of the residence is in charge of the food of more than 20 people, and when the fire starts must be considered first.
When Chen Jiu washed the rice and put it in the pot, and just put the lid on the pot, she saw Lin Shan coming from outside. Behind him, there were three guards holding the box in their arms.
As soon as Lin Shan walked into the kitchen, he called out the maid who was burning the fire in front of the stove, and then asked the three guards behind him to put down the box and leave.
Chen Jiu was stunned and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Burn the fire." Lin Shan dragged a box to the stove, and then sat calmly on the stool where the fire-burning maid had sat just now, looked at Chen Jiu and said, "I will also be a slave under the stove today, but I don't know if Miss Chen will accept it?"
Chen Jiu heard the hint of banter in his words, and couldn't help but say, "Don't make trouble, it's time to tell your subordinates to watch jokes."
"The boxes were all brought in by them, and the jokes have long been enough." Lin Shan smiled disappreciatively, then looked at Chen Jiu and asked, "How about it, does Miss Chen accept me, a slave with poor craftsmanship?"
"How dare I ......" Chen Jiu covered her lips and laughed, but she quickly remembered something again, smiled, looked at Lin Shan and said seriously: "Brother Lin." What's wrong with you today? How could you suddenly remember...... Do this kind of thing? Either way, it's too different from who you are, and you shouldn't be sitting under the stove......"
Lin Shan stared at the old wine. Said sincerely: "It's okay, because I'm only willing to be a stove slave for you alone."
Chen Jiu did not speak again. But the words she heard in her ears had pierced the softest corner of her heart, and she actually had many things to say, one of which was almost about to blurt out. She silently questioned: Is this a promise? There was both joy and apprehension in my heart.
Before she could muster up the courage to speak out to verify this guess with Lin Shan, she saw Lin Shan bow her head slightly, and said softly: "Actually, I'm here." It's to apologize to you. Lin Shan raised his head and continued, "On the mountain yesterday evening, I didn't have the slightest reason to blame you, but I said such cruel things to you. I made a big mistake. ”
Almost instantly, the eyes of the aged wine were clouded with another layer of fog.
I didn't expect that he still had an inch of space in his heart, remembering the few words he said yesterday that would not have been very important to him.
Chen Jiu didn't look away, not wanting Lin Shan to see the tide in her eyes.
She had vowed to herself that she would be a resilient and self-reliant woman. If not. She couldn't survive on her own after her family was defeated, and she couldn't wait for the day when the man she loved made a promise to her. But in the past few days, I don't know what's wrong with me, and I can't help crying frequently.
Is it because Lin Shan is leaving here, and the days of being able to stay with him are rapidly shortening?
Or rather. In the last few days, is there a balance that is quietly being broken?
After being silent for a long time, Chen Jiu said in a low voice: "You don't have to apologize, you were also trying not to let me carry you at that time, because I was afraid that I would work hard."
"I can't say hurtful things under the guise of being good, especially for you, I should be more patient." After a slight pause, Lin Shan continued: "Regarding the matter of retaining the pharmacist, it was my biggest mistake. You've done your best to make a sumptuous meal, and it's hard to leave it to someone else, so what's the reason to blame you? Yesterday I was so unprovoked, in fact, it hurt people the most. ”
The tears in Chen Jiu's eyes couldn't hold back his eyes.
Obviously, it was Lin Shan who apologized to her now, but she felt even more aggrieved.
Maybe it was because she didn't really resolve the bad feelings in her heart during the day, but just suppressed the love for the time being, and this love was like wine lees quietly fermenting, and at this time, she was suddenly picked open by Lin Shan's words, and this love was a little out of control.
"I don't know how to apologize to you. It's just a few words, it's too light, if I want to give you something, I thought about what I can get my hands on, and there is nothing that fits. Lin Shan, who was silent for a while, continued: "But as soon as I thought about it, I felt that it was not difficult to repay the debt, I made you suffer yesterday, and I will change it today, you call me, and I am all at your disposal."
Chen Jiu really wanted to ask Lin Shan for a promise at this time.
But she is still a little unsure and unconfident that if she really asks like this, whether she can get an answer as she wishes, or will it trigger the end of drifting away from this man.
Therefore, after being silent for a while, Chen Jiu turned her face, the tears on her face had been quietly wiped away by her, and she said seriously: "Okay, after this meal is cooked, I also want you to boil a bucket of hot water for me to bathe."
Lin Shan smiled comfortably, patted the wooden box in his hand, and said softly: "Okay, even if you add another bucket of hot water, these 'firewood' should be enough."
Only then did Chen Jiu turn his attention to the boxes, take a closer look, and say in a lost voice: "It seems that they are all collected from your study."
"Well, that's all there is left to burn." As he spoke, Lin Shan lifted the lid of the box, took out a bundle of books from it, pulled loose the twine, and threw it into the stove as he flipped it.
Chen Jiu walked to Lin Shan's side and squatted down, his eyes fell on the box, and he said quietly, "How many days can you stay here?"
"Five to seven days, it's over." Lin Shan's answer was very direct, and the date given was also very precise.
Chen Jiu's slightly drooping eyes darkened, and he asked quietly again, "Then when will you come back?"
"If things go well, it will be about a year, but ......" Lin Shan's words were only halfway through when he suddenly paused, and the movement of turning the book quickly in his hand also stopped, he looked sideways at Chen Jiu who was squatting beside him, and said hesitantly: "Jiu'er, do you really want to settle here?" It's not a good place, maybe only two or three years later, and it won't be able to avoid the war. ”
Chen Jiu's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and he suddenly said, "If I decide to stay here, will you come back to me?"
