Chapter 187: Noodles + Chapter 188: Trust
"Really? I thought you'd be angry. Lu Shuyi's cheeks were a little red when she smiled, like a naughty child, and said, "I didn't expect you to really agree to cook with me, it's really unexpected." ”
"Accident?" Huo Tianyou smiled and said very responsibly: "A manly man, what kind of man is he if he backtracks." ”
Lu Shuyi looked at him with such a bright smile, and her heart suddenly seemed to be warmed by something, and a golden sunshine shone in.
Huo Tianyou also lost his mind for a moment.
The two of them are now like seven or eight-year-old children playing together, because of a word, because of a smile, so slowly approaching......
It was as if they had walked into a dense forest together, exploring something new and unknown with each other, ignorant, but curious, wanting to explore, wanting to get closer, the attraction that was entwined on the tip of the heart, and the unavertable gaze and each other's fanatical heartbeats were intertwined, and the feeling of wanting to stop.
At this moment, he wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but in the end he held back, and he said calmly: "Let's go, go cook." ”
Lu Shuyi's face was red, and the feeling just now was really strange. When the two looked at each other, she found a sense of déjà vu in his eyes, and that feeling was subtle.
Afraid that Huo Tianyou would see something, she gathered her mind and hurriedly said, "Go, otherwise it's too late." ”
Both of them looked a little panicked, and they fled all the way to the kitchen in the backyard.
Everything in the kitchen is available, and all kinds of kitchenware and vegetables are properly prepared.
Double Happiness's ability to do things is really not covered.
Lu Shuyi praised it from the bottom of her heart.
Huo Tianyou looked at Yiqiē in the kitchen, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"That's good." Lu Shuyi looked left and right, pointed to the wooden basin on the big wooden case and said, "I'm with noodles." You wash the vegetables, do you think it's okay? ”
She definitely can't let Huo Tianyou knead his dough, seeing that he is not a dough kneader. Fortunately, she was used to living alone in her previous life, and she didn't catch less firewood, rice, oil and salt, and making noodles didn't bother her at all.
She quickly poured white noodles in the wooden basin first, found a place to wash her hands, and pulled up the wide sleeves again. Prevent sleeves from getting on your face.
Huo Tianyou couldn't help but laugh at the corners of his mouth when he looked at her movements: "I can't see that you are a big lady." I can do anything. ”
Lu Shuyi coughed dryly and explained: "You also know that my mother has been sick last year, and I learned to cook to make her eat better." At least she eats the food that passes through my hands, and I feel relieved. ”
This explanation is reasonable.
Huo Tianyou didn't say anything more, he also rolled up his sleeves and began to wash and pick vegetables, and finally took a kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables.
This time it was Lu Shuyi's turn to be surprised, she didn't expect that such a pampered son of a family would cut vegetables.
But he cut the vegetables very well. The shredded ones are very fine and fine, and the diced ones are also shapely. It doesn't look like anyone who hasn't cooked at all.
She hesitated, "You...... Do you know how to cook? ”
He only smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Lu Shuyi pouted and didn't ask anything else.
The two of them are cooking so tacitly, as if they have been friends for many years. It's like a newlywed couple.
Shuangrui and Dongmei quietly leaned on the window edge and watched.
Such a scene is really ......
How to say it, in addition to the general match or the general match.
Dongmei even thought in her heart, if her young lady really married Huo Ergongzi. That's a great place to be.
But when she thought about it, she felt like she was thinking nonsense.
What kind of person is Huo Ergongzi, although her young lady is very good. But how could the Hou Mansion accept her young lady lightly?
Thinking of this, she was a little lost, turned to look at Double Happiness, and made a gesture for him to leave.
Shuangxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time to peek at his master in such a blatant way.
He didn't want to come over to take a peek, but Dongmei didn't follow, so he had to come over to have a look, saying that he was here to see if there was anything to help.
Need the help of the two of them in the current situation?
Double Happiness quickly pulled Dongmei and left the scene of the "crime".
In fact, Huo Tianyou had already noticed the existence of the two of them, but he didn't break it.
After the two of them left, he asked Lu Shuyi, "What do you think of the double happiness under my hand?" ”
Lu Shuyi fished the noodles from the pot and said casually: "He's not bad, I look at the honest one." After thinking about it for a while, she felt that something was wrong, turned her head and asked, "Why are you asking me this?" He is your man, and you know best whether he is good or bad. ”
She was sure that Huo Tianyou must have a deep meaning in asking these words, and he couldn't ask them for no reason.
A pair of eyes seemed to penetrate a human heart, and she stared at him deadly.
Huo Tianyou was about to speak, but when he heard her "ah", the bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Scalded ......"
Patronizing and talking, she actually forgot that she was fishing for noodles.
She quickly placed the bowl on the table.
Huo Tianyou was startled, and hurriedly walked over and said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine, it's just a bit of a scald." She hung her head and rubbed her hands, her fingers still hurting.
Huo Tianyou frowned, looking at her rubbing her hands, he hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed her fingers.
"Show me, the girl's skin and flesh are tender, don't burn it"
He gently lowered his head to examine her fingers.
Her hands were very long, her skin was white and tender, her five fingers were slender and soft, and the tips were round, but the skin on them was a little red from being burned.
Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment, feeling the tenderness of his fingertips, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her face turned red uncontrollably.
"I, I, I'm fine." She stammered and tried to withdraw her hand.
But he refused.
Caught off guard, he leaned down and brought his lips together, gently blowing on her fingertips. I didn't forget to advise: "Don't move, it will hurt more if you move, so it will be better to blow it." ”
Lu Shuyi's whole body froze.
There was a faint scent of herbs on his nose, and in front of her was such a careful and considerate side of him.
She felt flustered, and all she wanted was for him to let go of her finger right away.
But the more she thought about it, the more he refused to let go, and blew softly one at a time.
The fingers seem to be enchanted. Itchy. I don't feel any pain anymore......
"Fortunately, there are no burns, otherwise I would have been relieved." Huo Tianyou finally let go of her hand, with a gentle smile on his cheeks. "If you burn your fingers because you cook for me, then I am really to blame." ”
Lu Shuyi burst out laughing.
"Well, you smiled, it seems that the wound on your hand doesn't hurt much." Huo Tianyou took a few steps forward. took the white porcelain bowl and scooped the noodles himself, and said, "You remember what I told you today, right?" ”
Lu Shuyi nodded: "Remember." But where my third uncle's outer room lives, you haven't told me yet! ”
Huo Tianyou was not in a hurry, he scooped up the noodles and sandwiched a few of his fried side dishes on them, and handed a bowl to Lu Shuyi: "The noodles are hot." You can sit down and eat a bowl too, and I have already written the address of the outer room. I'm giving it to you while you're gone. ”
In the kitchen, there is a very simple four-corner pear blossom table and two pear blossom wood chairs. It seems to have been specially prepared for the two of them.
"I ...... I'm not hungry......" Lu Shuyi was a little embarrassed to eat with him, she excused herself, "Dongmei and Mo Ju are still waiting for me outside, I'm ...... I need to go back sooner. ”
Huo Tianyou ignored her prevarication, and pulled the corner of her clothes with one hand and the other: "This son is a light ...... who doesn't stir-fry vegetables."
has said all this, if Lu Shuyi refuses again, it will be too hypocritical.
"Okay, I'll eat a bowl," she responded generously.
Huo Tianyou smiled at this time, put down the rice bowl and went to bring the dishes over.
Several of the dishes are vegetarian, but they taste delicious.
She couldn't help but be curious: "I don't think you can cook, but it seems that I think wrong, you...... Who did you learn to cook? ”
She cupped her cheeks and blinked.
Huo Tianyou set up the dishes and chopsticks and sat opposite her.
He smiled and said, "When I was a child, I was always naughty, and every time I was naughty, my father wouldn't let me eat......" His voice was very soft, as if telling a story to a child, "If I don't eat, I'll be hungry, and when I'm hungry, I'll sneak to the kitchen to find food." The corners of his mouth hooked, and he laughed at himself: "But who is my father?" He is the backbone of the Dingbei Houzhili people, how could he not have expected that I would go to the kitchen to steal food. So he asked the servant to put away the rest of the food and put it where I couldn't find it. His eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a little smugness, and said: "But I'm not a person who admits defeat lightly, at this time I will rummage through the kitchen to find some lettuce and raw meat to stew together, anyway, I can't be hungry." ”
Lu Shuyi listened very seriously, she didn't expect him to have such a childhood: "What if it tastes bad?" Or is the meat undercooked? ”
The first time she cooked rice, it was half-cooked, and the first time she stir-fried almost burned the kitchen.
Thinking about these black histories, she felt that Huo Tianyou was really powerful.
"It's okay if it doesn't taste good." Huo Tianyou said disapprenously: "If a person is really hungry, you will never care about this, filling your stomach is the first thing." ”
In between speaking, he glanced at Lu Shuyi again and urged: "Talk while eating, otherwise your face will be cold." ”
Lu Shuyi nodded, but she immediately said, "Didn't your family educate you to eat and sleep silently?" ”
The Lu family rarely speaks when they eat, especially the girl's family, they can only speak after eating, which is upbringing.
In fact, the Huo family is also like this, but the situation is different, and Huo Tianyou is not informal.
He smiled and took a bite of noodles: "Some rules are different from person to person, such as ...... now"
Lu Shuyi didn't know how to answer his words for a while, so she could only bury her head in small bites and eat noodles.
The noodles are very slippery, and with Huo Tianyou's fried vegetables, they taste very light and refreshing.
In her previous life, she had cooked with Mr. Bai, and Mr. Bai's skills were better than those of many chefs.
At that time, she often wondered, how can a man cook so deliciously! Now look at Huo Tianyou, he doesn't seem to lose to Mr. Bai.
Lu Shuyi couldn't help but secretly look at Huo Tianyou again.
Such an excellent man, I don't know what kind of woman will be worthy of him in the future?
She felt some regret. I knew too little about him in my previous life. If she had asked Mr. Bai more at that time, maybe she would have known what kind of woman he had married.
But the thought flashed, and she felt that she was bored, what did it matter to her what kind of woman he married?
Lu Shuyi retracted her gaze and continued to eat the noodles in the bowl for a while.
Maybe he was hungry, Huo Tianyou ate quickly, and it took a while. A bowl of noodles is at the bottom. He got up and served another bowl of noodle soup.
Outside the door, the cold wind rattled the paper on the window paper in the kitchen, and the hot noodle soup was steaming.
Through the heat, Huo Tianyou's face was a little blurred. But the laughter was extremely clear: "After a year in the army, I am afraid that the speed of my eating cannot be changed." He mentioned the expedition, and his voice was long: "My father is already on his way back to Kyoto, so he should be able to meet the emperor during the Spring Festival......
Lu Shuyi never asked Huo Tianyou about the expedition. Now that he took the initiative to mention it, Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment.
"What about you...... When are you going home? She asked in a whisper. For fear that the wrong question would upset him.
Huo Tianyou took a sip of hot soup, thought for a while, and said, "I won't tell you, I'm waiting for someone, and I should be able to arrive in these two days." Wait until the man arrives. I'll go back when I'm done with a few things. ”
Lu Shuyi frowned, who would be the person he was waiting for?
She pondered.
"You don't have to think about it." Huo Tianyou seemed to see through her thoughts, and said lightly: "The person I'm looking for is the deputy leader of the Kyoto Jiuhua Gang. You don't know. ”
Jiuhua Gang?
Lu Shuyi secretly recalled.
The Jiuhua Gang is the largest gang in Kyoto, and their rudder can be found all over the country. Rumors. As long as Jiuhua Gang issued a hunt and kill order, there were very few survivors.
With this rumor, it can be seen that the power of the Jiuhua Gang is beyond the reach of other gangs.
Coincidentally, she still had a relationship with Chai Zeng, the leader of the Jiuhua Gang, in her previous life.
"I know the Jiuhua Gang." Lu Shuyi nodded very firmly, and said calmly: "I also know that the leader of the Jiuhua Gang is Chai Zeng, right?" ”
In fact, she didn't know that Chai Zeng was not the helper at this time, he was just a second-in-command deputy helper.
Huo Tianyou was taken aback, he thought that it was impossible for Lu Shuyi to know about the Jiuhua Gang, but he didn't expect that she not only knew about the Jiuhua Gang, but also knew Chai Zeng.
How did she know?
Huo Tianyou couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him, and said: "To be exact, Chai Zeng is not the helper, he is still the deputy helper." But...... I think he'll be able to help him soon. ”
Chai was once the deputy gang leader?
Lu Shuyi secretly stuck out her tongue, her face a little embarrassed. When she met Chai Zeng, Chai Zeng was already the leader of the Jiuhua Gang. And she also knows that Chai Zeng has a good relationship with Mr. Bai, and the two often play games together.
"The deputy gang leader can also be regarded as a gang leader!" She hurriedly relieved herself, and said with a smile: "The Jiuhua Gang is so famous, I heard my father talk about it. ”
She was afraid that she would show her stuff in front of Huo Tianyou, so she tried her best to be very calm, blinking her eyes, and looking very sincere.
She hadn't mentioned her rebirth to anyone, and she didn't want Huo Tianyou to see it.
Huo Tianyou glanced at her, and didn't ask anything else, only said: "The Jiuhua Gang was instructed by my brother, and now they have given me a hunt and kill order, and the only person I can find is Chai Zeng." ”
Lu Shuyi felt chills when she listened.
This Huo Tiankang is too impersonal, and he actually found the Jiuhua Gang to deal with Huo Tianyou. The Jiuhua Gang is the master who recognizes the order but does not recognize the person, and if he says that he will kill Huo Tianyou, he will definitely not show mercy.
Now Huo Tianyou is really dangerous, so he is hiding here.
Lu Shuyi pinched a cold sweat, and she immediately blurted out: "You can't go to see Chai Zeng at this time, you will be in danger." ”
As soon as the words came out, even she was stunned.
Huo Tianyou is the son of the dignified Hou Mansion, how can she be allowed to point fingers like this in his affairs? Besides, what kind of person Chai Zeng was, Huo Tianyou must know better than her in his heart.
She was so reckless to say that, I wonder what he would think of her?
Huo Tianyou also seemed to be shocked by her actions, he looked at her in a daze, and asked, "Why do you think Chai Zeng is dangerous?" You...... Have you been in contact with him? ”
"No ......," Lu Shuyi immediately denied.
She was extremely nervous. I blamed myself for being too impulsive and didn't think about the consequences at all.
Huo Tianyou looked at her eyes, and his mood was a little complicated.
This girl is so mysterious, she seems to know some things at once, and she says something strange.
Chai Zeng was obviously the deputy helper, but she said that Chai Zeng was the helper. And Fang Cai, how did she know that Chai Zeng was dangerous?
True. Chai Zeng is indeed a very dangerous person. The rich are robbed and the poor are helped. Kill without blinking.
However, Chai Zeng was Cheng Youqing's only brother who worshipped him, and Cheng Youqing died, Chai Zeng would definitely not give up.
He wanted to help Chai Zeng get rid of the current gang leader Shi for a long time.
Stone for half a day as long as it is removed. Chai Zeng is a well-deserved gang leader, and at that time, his brother should no longer be able to meddle in the affairs of the Jiuhua Gang, and he will be safe.
But see Chai Zeng. It's really dangerous.
He hung his eyelashes and was silent.
Lu Shuyi was apprehensive, and her fingers kept pinching her sleeves back and forth.
There are some words that cannot be taken back. He must be suspicious of her now......
She secretly glanced at Huo Tianyou, who still looked thoughtful with his eyelids down.
The atmosphere was a little gloomy for a while.
Lu Shuyi's heart turned a few corners, she pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before she slowly spoke: "Actually, I ...... Actually, there are some things I can't make clear to you. But I really have no ill will towards you. I just want to...... I just wanted to help you. ”
She said from the bottom of her heart, and the reason why she said such things so impulsively was because she was worried about his comfort. I'm afraid that he will meet with Chai Zeng.
Caring is chaotic, that's why she made such a big mistake. So much so that now she can't explain the past in her past life.
Sigh and sigh.
“…… Anyway, you know I'm here for your good, but if it makes you suspicious or uncomfortable, I'm ...... I apologize. Lu Shuyi got up to salute.
Huo Tianyou took a step ahead of her and supported her body with his arm: "No need, I believe you." ”
His words exude the power of trust, without a trace of hesitation: "You don't have to explain anything to me, I believe you." ”
Lu Shuyi's nose was sour inexplicably.
She was really afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so he believed her without the slightest hesitation.
Friendship with people is the most precious word trust.
In his past and present lives, there are not many people who have always believed in her, and he is one of them.
Her heart was warm, and she smiled: "Thank you for believing in me." ”
Huo Tianyou smiled like a spring breeze in March, raised his hand and hesitated, but finally landed on the soft green silk on the top of her head, and gently stroked it: "I am the one who should say thank you, look at it, you still cook for me!" ”
Lu Shuyi felt much better when she boarded, and even felt much easier to breathe in her throat.
Sitting back in her seat again, she said to Huo Tianyou seriously: "Chai has killed countless people, he is really a very dangerous person, if you meet him, I will ...... I might be able to help you. ”
She is not boasting, she can indeed help Huo Tianyou.
Huo Tianyou didn't ask anything else this time, only listened carefully to what she said, and then asked, "How can you help me?" ”
Lu Shuyi didn't go around the bend, looked left and right, and whispered: "As far as I know, Chai Zeng has a younger sister named Chai Xiu'e in his hometown in Yizhou. She folded her fingers and calculated: "Chai Xiu'e is just thirteen this year, but she has an extremely rare strange disease, and the doctor said that she will probably not live to be eighteen years old." ”
Huo Tianyou rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't know that Chai Zeng had a sister.
Don't say that he doesn't know, I'm afraid that the people in the Jiuhua Gang don't know.
But Lu Shuyi knew.
Lu Shuyi read the question in his eyes.
Indeed, many people in the Jiuhua Gang don't know about Chai Xiu'e. Because Chai had told her in his previous life that his sister was very timid, and if she knew that he was a member of the Jiuhua Gang, she would definitely not be able to stand the stimulation, so he never told her that he was a member of the Jiuhua Gang, nor did he tell the brothers of the Jiuhua Gang about it, for fear that they would disturb Chai Xiu'e.
"In short, Chai Zeng loves his sister very much, because their father and mother died very early, and Chai Xiu'e is his only relative." She continued, "If you want Chai Zeng to help you, then the only way is to help Chai Zeng heal his sister. ”
In his previous life, Chai Xiu'e was cured by Mr. Bai, and Mr. Bai was Huo Tianyou's person, as long as he went out to cure Chai Xiu'e, Chai Zeng would definitely be very grateful to Huo Tianyou.
People in the rivers and lakes pay the most attention to morality, Huo Tianyou helps him, and he will definitely help Huo Tianyou get through the difficulties.
Thinking of this, Lu Shuyi took a light breath and said to Huo Tianyou: "Isn't Mr. Bai beside you a superb doctor?" If you want to cure Chai Xiu'e's illness, who else in the world can stand out except Mr. Bai? ”
Lu Shuyi's words shocked Huo Tianyou.
But it also made him see another way.
If it is really as Lu Shuyi said, he helped Chai Zeng cure his sister, then according to Chai Zeng's behavior, he will definitely follow him to the death.
If so, things are much simpler. (To be continued)
