Chapter Fifty-Six: Survival in the Wild
Today, I had many injuries, and I still felt faint pain when I slept down, and Chu Jiayin was even more uncomfortable.
When Chu Jingyan entered the door, Chu Jiayin frowned, looking very painful, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was probably fighting against something terrible in his dream.
Chu Jingyan took Chu Jiayin's arm, helped her look at the injuries on her body, and wiped the medicine.
After applying the medicine, Chu Jiayin's face was obviously much better.
"Second brother, I want to be nice to you." Chu Jiayin muttered in her dream.
Chu Jingyan was startled, thinking that she was awake.
lowered his head, but found that the person who spoke was in a good dream. It should be out of the nightmare.
"What the hell is it for, you are thinking about being good to me even in your dreams now?"
Didn't you just like to bully him once?
……
When I got up on the second day, Chu Jiayin hurt everywhere, and when I fell downhill, I didn't hurt my flesh and skin, but I was injured internally!
When she came together, she sat in the yard, looking at the chickens and the white rabbits, and sometimes at the birds in the sky.
"Old man, what are we going to have breakfast today?" Last night's meal, Chu Jiayin ate very well, probably hungry.
Anyway, it can't be that the old man is a good cook, Chu Jiayin thought.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever."
"Make what you eat, I still have work to do today, I have to rush to the street in the morning, so I will go into the city to eat steamed buns." You two, be self-reliant. Or don't you eat and go with the old man? ”
Chu Jiayin didn't want to move now, and if she climbed up the mountain hungry, she estimated that she would faint halfway.
"Okay, okay, you go first." Chu Jiayin waved his hand, as if he was rushing to the house as an uninvited guest.
"Yo, stay overnight and treat the old man's nest as your own." The old man asked.
Chu Jiayin snorted and said, "I'm not unfamiliar with your nest." ”
The old man carried the basket on his back, took a piece of bread and set out on his way.
When Chu Jingyan was in Qingzhuju, no one took care of him, and he had to cook his own meals, so he completed the heavy task of lighting the fire today.
Chu Jiayin watched from the sidelines, and slowly learned to add firewood, but burned his face black in the east and black in the west.
"Second brother, what did you talk to about with that old man last night? That old man owes a beating, I want to beat him as soon as he speaks, you can talk to him for so long! ”
"We talked about some martial arts." Chu Jingyan took a pot of boiling water, scooped it up, and put it on the stove. This water will be used to wash your face in a while.
Chu Jiayin couldn't help but be surprised: "Second brother, do you want to practice martial arts?" ”
Chu Jingyan in his previous life didn't seem to be very good at martial arts, so he simply knew the kung fu of a three-legged cat to deal with those little minions. If you encounter any powerful people, you can only rely on the guards.
If you learn martial arts in this life, will you be much more majestic than in your previous life?
He wanted to learn martial arts because he met an old man who seemed to know martial arts, and he met this old man because Chu Jiayin pulled him out. In this way, does she also make such a little contribution to the second brother's determination to practice martial arts?
"Hmm. Although the four seas are now peaceful and the country is peaceful, there are some martial arts that are close to each other, which is not a bad thing. The fact that countries do not go to war does not mean that people do not commit crimes against each other. Just by reading books to learn the truth, you can't fight real swords and real guns. ”
Chu Jiayin was wondering if there was any way to coax her grandmother to find a martial arts master for her second brother. The second brother has a bright future in the future, and he is a great talent for the country, and the ability accumulated in his body will only be too little, not too much.
Moreover, what Chu Jingyan said is indeed reasonable, how can he fight with his fists and feet, and some people have ears that are not used to listen to reason. Only with a hard fist can they be forced to obey and learn to respect people!
Besides, since ancient times, most of those who have been aggressive with their lips and tongue and have made unforgiving arguments with others are women. Chu Jingyan then relied on this ability to establish a strong position, what ambitions would he talk about?
As he spoke, the water on the stove boiled.
Chu Jingyan poured the water into the basin, brought it to the table, and asked Chu Jiayin to wash his face.
"Second brother, will you wash it first?" Chu Jiayin was embarrassed, she went out and asked Chu Jingyan to take care of her, which was too troublesome.
Chu Jingyan smiled, pointed to Chu Jiayin's big flower face and said, "It's okay, you wash it first." If you don't wash your face, I'm afraid no one will recognize you when you go back. ”
"Huh?" Chu Jiayin touched his face, but the dirt on his face could not be perceived by touch. She had no choice but to look down at the reflection in the water and use it as a mirror.
In the reflection of the water, a face like a little flower cat is reflected, with black stripes one by one, as if some claws have scratched it, and the tip of the nose is also dyed black, which is really funny.
I washed it last night, and I didn't get up long today, and I just stood in front of the stove to add firewood for a while, and I was so embarrassed.
Chu Jiayin hurriedly took out a handkerchief, dipped the water in the basin, and wiped the black ash off his face. After a while, the shadow in the water had returned to a cute and cute face.
"Alright." Chu Jiayin raised his face to show the second brother, "Isn't it clean?" ”
Naturally, the reflection in the water is not as easy to observe as a mirror, and it is not as easy as the eyes of the people around you. Chu Jiayin looked into the water and saw that there was indeed no dirt left on his face, but Chu Jingyan smiled when he saw it.
Chu Jiayin washed his cheeks and nose cleanly, but the unclean ones on the side of his ears were ignored and not washed off at all.
The marks on the side of the ears are estimated to be too hot to wipe the sweat from the heat in front of the stove, which is lighter than the color of the hand-scratched marks on the cheeks of the nose.
"Give me the veil." Chu Jingyan said.
Chu Jiayin handed him the handkerchief that had been wrung out in his hand.
The second brother took the handkerchief, bent down, and seriously helped Chu Jiayin wipe his face.
Chu Jiayin was stunned for a moment, took a step back suddenly, and Chu Jingyan, who was close at hand, said softly and gently, "Don't move." It's not wiped clean. ”
Chu Jingyan's voice was cold but not chilling, with a penetrating power, which penetrated straight into the bottom of people's hearts. When Chu Jiayin heard this voice, it still floated from not far away from his ears, and his whole body was numb as if he had been overpowered.
The second brother's voice is really good.
Chu Jiayin turned her head to look at Chu Jingyan's side face when Chu Jingyan was seriously helping her wash her face.
The long eyelashes, as he wiped his face, fluttered again and again, and underneath were covered with a pair of eyes like a sea full of stars. I didn't notice it when I looked at the face before, but now I noticed that the second brother's nose turned out to be so upturned. The lip color is a light peach, not too flattering but not too tacky.
Chu Jiayin didn't control himself, so he reached out to Chu Jingyan's face, and his fingertips lightly touched his flesh. It is the youthful and tender touch of a teenager, not losing Chu Jiayin, who has not yet lost baby fat.
"What, I have something on my face too?" Chu Jingyan stopped wiping, threw the handkerchief into the basin, and washed it.
She was stunned, and rushed over before Chu Jingyan looked at the basin, wetting one paw, covering his face, and rubbing and rubbing.
"Not anymore." Chu Jiayin said with a smile, turning the danger into a disaster, and couldn't help but secretly praise his wit.
Chu Jingyan nodded: "Oh." ”
There were many smiles hidden in his drooping eyes, and it was clear that he knew that there was nothing dirty on his face at all.
"Second brother, what are we going to eat in a while?" Chu Jiayin ran to the kitchen and looked inside and out, but couldn't find anything to eat!
The eggs and leeks I ate yesterday are already the last portions? Look at the rice bowl again, there is no rice! Chu Jiayin didn't give up, and lifted all the things with the lid and looked at it all over, hey, there is only firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?
"Second brother, it seems that there is nothing to eat." Chu Jiayin turned around and said to Chu Jingyan aggrievedly, she is so hungry now.
"Why don't we go home?" Chu Jingyan asked.
When Chu Jiayin heard this, she shook her head decisively, and finally slipped out of the boring Chu family compound, so she didn't want to go back!
Anyway, within five or six hours of leaving the house, my grandmother probably already knew that she had run out, and it was no different from going back now to go back two days later.
In her previous life, she had no talent and no virtue, she didn't attend many banquets, and the girl's family didn't let her leave the house with such and such scruples, and Chu Jiayin was almost rooted in the compound like saplings and flowers before she left the pavilion.
Later, when I entered the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the control was stricter, and there was no chance to enter the door. Chu Jiayin now has nothing to do with the outside world, as others have heard, and he has never seen it with his own eyes.
Although the past two days have been a little unpleasant, the fun is not without fun, so Chu Jiayin is reluctant to go back early. Besides, they didn't even find a single hair of that stinky Taoist priest, how could they just return in vain? If you have suffered all the sins of yesterday, you should persevere, otherwise you will not suffer in vain?
Chu Jingyan shrugged his shoulders, "Then let's go back to the city to buy something to eat?" ”
"No way!" Chu Jiayin refused again, "We've been running out for a day and a night, and Peach Blossom probably can't hide it." We're running back to the city now, and we're going to be caught. It's not sure yet, the shops selling food in the city have all collected money from the Chu family, and they are just waiting to keep an eye on the two of us. ”
"Then Miss Six, what should we eat?" Chu Jingyan stood with his arms crossed and asked with a smile.
Chu Jiayin thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, recalling what the old man said last night.
"Didn't the old man say that the fish were caught by ourselves, so we can catch them ourselves. Let's go down to the river to fish! Chu Jiayin read that the characters in the book went down to the river to fish and catch shrimp, not to mention that they were all envious, it was delicious at first glance, and this time it was finally her turn to go into the water.
As soon as Chu Jiayin said the proposal, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard, following the sound of the water to find the river.
Chu Jingyan followed.
The river water in the mountains and forests is clean and clear, the waves are very small, and there is only a slight "whooshing" sound of flowing water, which is quiet and beautiful. From top to bottom, you can see the grass and rocks in the water. Swimming fish can also be seen.
Chu Jiayin rushed into the river from afar, saw that his eyes were shining like fish and cats, and he pulled Chu Jingyan and ran forward.
