Chapter 22: Rushing to juice
The coachman swallowed his saliva, pressed down the hat, seemed to be very scruples, and responded: "The little one understands." ”
"What is Qi Gongzi doing, it's so scary, aren't you jealous?" Xi Duiyun put his hand on Qi Lichen's shoulder, obviously feeling Qi Lichen's stiffness, and after getting along for a long time, Xi Duiyun gradually discovered that Qi Lichen didn't like to come into contact with people.
Roughly Xi Duiyu is a child, and he is very close to Qi Lichen, so he also loves Xi Duyun very much.
"If you know who he is, talk to them." Qi Lichen slapped Xi Duiyun's hand away, since he got acquainted with it, Xi Duiyun hooked Qi Lichen's shoulders and backs at every turn, and Qi Lichen was extremely frightened when he returned to him, as if Xi Duiyun took advantage of him.
"There are countless mortals in the world, how can you know all of a person's personality, just say a few words will not be less meat."
Xi Duyun was very proud of the dog's tail grass picked from the side of the road, and Xi Duyun was very proud, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him. Qi Lichen shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.
When she got home, she took two sugarcanes and stuffed them into the sugarcane juicer in the yard, shook the handle on one side of the juicer, and pressed the water of the sugarcane to squeeze out, and what came out from the other side was the dregs of the sugarcane.
Qi Lichen and the coachman stared at Xi Duyun's operation, feeling incredible, Xi Duyun saw that they were all looking at the juicer, and explained with a smile: "This is what I transformed according to the stone kick at the entrance of the village, it looks dexterous, but it is actually only suitable for sugar cane." ”
Xi Duyun got up and went to the kitchen to get a few bowls, and directly scooped the sugarcane juice and handed it to them, Xi Duyu was well-behaved and took the bowl to scoop it herself: "Sister, the sugarcane juice is delicious, you can also take a sip, sweet." ”
Roughly children's nature is mostly sweet, Xi Duyu took a big sip, and his eyes lit up.
"If you like it, you can't drink too much, at most two bowls." Xi Duyun took the sugarcane and continued to juice, in addition to sugarcane juice, she also wanted to make other things, there must be enough sugar, the juice is simple, boiling sugar is a long process.
Qi Lichen looked at the brown liquid in the bowl with scum and then at Bai Ye. Bai Ye's face is as complicated, he has also experienced the days of eating and sleeping in the open, and the river water he holds in his hand is still clearer than the "juice" in the bowl.
"This sugarcane juice looks a little worse, but it tastes good. But don't force it if you can't take a sip, give it to me. ”
Xi Duyun saw that they really couldn't speak, and they couldn't cry and laugh when they were amused, and it was really embarrassing for them to ask them to drink this.
Xi Duyun really didn't want to force them to drink, but who knew that Qi Lichen and Bai Ye were excited when they heard this, and they raised their heads and took a sip of sugarcane juice. The two of them frowned, their eyes were closed, and their faces were wrinkled.
It took a while for the two of them to open their eyes, their faces softened, and Bai Ye smacked his tongue and said strangely: "It tastes good." ”
Qi Lichen on the side also nodded and said: "This sugarcane juice quenches thirst, the taste is sweet, and it is really a strange thing." ”
Xi Duyun wrung the handle of the juicer, shook his head and continued to do the work at hand.
"I can finish the rest myself, you go back first, and this little brother pulling the oxcart. When I go to the city to sell things, I will have to hire your ox cart again, and where shall I find you? ”
Today, Xi Duyun hired an oxcart to meet him not long after he went out, but it was just a coincidence.
"Ahem" The coachman's throat didn't seem to be very good, and he coughed a few times from time to time: "If the girl is in need, I will show up." ”
The coachman's words were very similar to Qi Lichen's tone, and although Xi Duyun didn't quite understand, he didn't say anything.
Before sending them away, he thoughtfully filled a pot of sugarcane juice for the coachman with a bad throat, and the coachman was so flattered that his hands trembled when he took the kettle.
The bell on the neck of the "jingle bell" cow swayed gently, and the sound of the bell wafted through the fields. Qi Lichen looked at the path in front of him from afar, not knowing what he was thinking. Bai Ye held the kettle as if he was holding a hot potato, changing it between his two hands.
"Twilight is a kind-hearted woman, I feel sorry for your bad throat and gave you a pot of sugarcane juice, you can keep it with peace of mind."
Qi Lichen rarely didn't have a black face, and he had a faint smile on his face since he came out of Xi Duyun's house.
Bai Ye looked at the smile on Qi Lichen's face, and his nervous mood relaxed, and he hung the kettle on the rope around the cow's neck.
"My subordinates haven't seen the pavilion master smile for a long time, ten years have passed, and the pavilion master has made his life too depressed in the past ten years."
Qi Lichen's brisk footsteps stagnated, the aura around him became fierce, and there was a stalk in the throat of the white night, and he knelt on his knees, which was murderous.
"White Night, you trespassed." Sen Han's voice was not at all like Qi Lichen's usual appearance, which was chilling.
"Subordinate convicted." The hat on his head just blocked Qi Lichen's vision, but even though Bai Ye could still feel Qi Lichen's cold gaze. Qi Lichen has been hated for many years, and no matter how gentle he is on the surface, the hatred in his heart has never dissipated.
"Don't say ten years, that is, in another ten or twenty years, my hatred for them will only increase, not decrease! You will leave Nancun later, go and do something for me, and go back to Qingyu Pavilion by the way. ”
Qi Lichen's eyes seemed to have no waves, and there was a surging murderous aura hidden in his eyes, which made people shudder.
"Yes, my subordinates will take you back to your residence first." Bai Ye's voice was respectful, his favorite white clothes were spread on the dirt floor, Bai Ye's eyes didn't blink, and the muddy water exuded a dizzy smell under the sun's baking.
"No, no matter how long this road is, you have to go to the end by yourself. You can accompany me for a while, but you can't accompany me for a lifetime, go. ”
The road ahead is narrow and rugged, and there is no end in sight. Qi Lichen's voice was light, without fear but so faint that it was distressing.
The lights of the flower building are hung high at night, and the sheng song and dance continue all night, and it is quiet and unpopular during the day.
Hualou is such a place, people will appear here on time at night, and the night will pass and scatter without leaving a trace.
A white-clothed guest pushed open the door of the Flower Building, and the wind blew into the hall, and the Ayara hanging in the building was swept by the wind, twisting and flying in an arc like the figure of the dancing girl Miaoman, which attracted people's reverie.
There were light footsteps in the empty corridor, Bai Ye came to the lobby, a handkerchief fluttered down, Bai Ye raised his hand to take the handkerchief in front of him expressionlessly, and there was a bird embroidered on the handkerchief, with plump wings, as if it would fly out of the handkerchief at any time.
"I said, don't do these tricks, you won't be afraid that if I don't watch out, I will be poisoned by you as soon as I enter the door."
Bai Ye took the handkerchief to the position where the sunlight penetrated, and shook the handkerchief, and through the light he could see the almost imperceptible powder.
This is the poisonous powder made from hundreds of poisonous weeds, only Qingyu Pavilion has it in the world, and the antidote is only out of Qingyu Pavilion.
Who would have thought that the poison that frightened the people of the world was not from the hands of some terrible poisoner, but the Oiran of the Flower Building, which Luo Qing'er debugged in just two months.
A slender jade hand rested on the handrail of the red staircase, and when Bai Ye looked back, he saw a woman with a beautiful figure leaning on the stairs in a gauze dress and looking at herself lazily.
"I can poison you, the protector of Qingyu Pavilion is me, and I can also let you sit in the position of protector."
Luo Qing'er walked down the escalator, Luo Qing'er's feet were much smaller than ordinary women's, but they were not bound but born.
She looks weak when she walks, but in fact, her pace is steady, and she can't fall down, but it is just a trick to attract men's pity.
No one who knows the Flower Building wants to see Luo Qing'er, even women, many of them are interested in Luo Qing'er.
It doesn't matter to him whether Luo Qing'er is a man or a woman in front of Bai Ye, Luo Qing'er is a thief and throws a wink at Bai Ye, Bai Ye looks at her, she looks at Bai Ye, the two of them stared at each other with big eyes, so they were not embarrassed.
