Chapter 54: Back to their past
"See this? The woman had two red marks painted on her face. Nan Zili pointed to a woman next to him and said.
"Well, it looks like it's still a crescent-shaped drawing and a scar, what kind of strange makeup trick is this?" Ling Mo was a little curious, the aesthetics of the ancient people seemed to be a little different.
"This is called Xia Hong, and it is a kind of painting method of color makeup." Nan Zili talked about the source of this installation again.
"Oh, what are you doing talking to yourself here? It's my way. Yi Wuhua found this woman just now, talking to herself here alone, she finally couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to ask.
"Huh?!" Ling Mo looked at a young woman in front of her, she was dressed a bit like an exotic dancer, and Ling Mo couldn't react for a while.
"By the way, others can't see me, so they only see you talking to yourself here, I'm afraid they don't think you have hysteria or something, right? It's me who has caused you to hinder others, and I ask you to help me apologize to Sister Yi Wuhua. Nan Zili explained with an embarrassed face.
"Huh? To her, apologize? Ling Mo looked dazed, even if I was talking to myself here, why did I apologize to her?
"How are you talking to yourself here? Sure enough, I have hysteria, and it seems that I still have to leave quickly to avoid you. Yi Wuhua shook her head and walked away with a disgusted expression.
"She's gone......" Nan Zili said softly as he stared at her back.
"It's useless for me to apologize to her for this kind of person." Ling Mo was inexplicably thought to be a psychopath by others, and she was a little disgusted by this.
"Hehe, it turns out that you don't know yet, so try to say hello to me!" Nan Zili said to Ling Mo.
Ling Mo said hello to Nan Zili, but there was a flower in front of him, and the scene suddenly changed, he came to a forest, there were many trees in this forest, and bamboo, and she was now standing on the path with green grass.
"Where is this? How could I, here, the front be? Ling Mo looked at the sudden change in the environment in front of her, and was shocked and amazed.
Ling Mo walked out of the forest path and looked forward, it seemed to be someone's backyard, she was looking around suspiciously, but unexpectedly saw Nan Zili lying on the ground at this time.
Why is Nan Zili here? Could it be that he fainted again? Ling Mo was a little puzzled, but she still ran over quickly.
As if hearing her footsteps, Nan Zili came slowly and stood up.
"Are you alright?" Ling Mo looked forward at her and asked.
"Me? It's okay, I'm just weeding the peach tree. Nanzi looked a little puzzled, and then explained.
"Oh, I saw you lying on the ground when I was passing by and thought you had fallen." Ling Mo said with a sudden realization.
"Hehe, I won't fall, I heard that if you weed the little tree often, it will grow faster." Nan Zili wiped his sweat, do I look like someone who faints so easily?
"Look at me and I'll do it in one morning, right?" Nan Zili looked at it and said proudly.
Looking at these poor little peach trees, it seemed as if they were going to die at any moment.
"These little peach trees, it really takes a little thought." Ling Mo looked at these little peach trees, it was really hard to imagine that they would be able to survive here.
Nan Zili nodded silently.
"I almost forgot, I haven't watered them yet." Nan Zili lifted the wooden bucket on the ground and went to the well in the yard to fetch water, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
Looking at her back, I couldn't help but think of Nanzi, wasn't he in Kyoto? And this seems to be the backyard described to him, and Nan Zili is not the one yet, only I can see Nan Zili.
Could it be that I came to Nanzi and left me, if I really went back to his past, then she should still be with his brother, I should try to ask!
"Where's your brother? Why didn't you see him? Thinking of this, Ling Mo planned to try to ask.
"Brother, I don't know who I'm helping with lately, so I come home late every day." As he spoke, Nan Zili put the wooden barrel around his neck, tied it with a rope, threw it into the well, and shook his hands intently, and sweat beads hung on his forehead.
Looking at Nan Zili's pale and weak appearance in front of her, Ling Mo couldn't help but step forward to help her.
The moment she accidentally touched her hand, Ling Mo was a little surprised that her hand was cold, and Ling Mo glanced at her, a little puzzled.
"Ah, don't bother you, I'll do it myself!" Nan Zili glanced at her, quickly retracted his hand, and suddenly coughed.
"Uh, are you alright? This water is a bit heavy, so I'll help you lift it! Ling Mo looked at her coughing, and her face was pale, and she couldn't help but step forward to help.
"I thought I could do more, but now it looks like my body is still ...... Ahem, I'm really bothering you. Nan Zili covered his lips and coughed while talking intermittently.
"Your brother used to do these things for you, right?" Ling Mo looked at her and couldn't imagine how she could carry a bucket of water with such a weak body.
"Hmm." Nan Zili nodded.
"I can do these things myself, but my brother is always afraid that I will be tired, and sometimes when he is away, I can do it myself, and he will be surprised to see what I have done, right?" Looking at her happy face, her shy pale cheeks revealed a little flush.
It's like a child, in order to surprise adults, and silently do something, hoping that the other party can praise himself after seeing it.
"Well, it will." Ling Mo couldn't bear to hit her, and nodded approvingly.
Nanzili laughed happily when he heard this.
"Why do you like growing peach blossoms so much?" When Nan Zili heard this question, it seemed to evoke his memories, and she stared ahead in a daze, a little dazed, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
After half a salary, she seemed to realize that she was a little out of shape, turned her head shyly, and lowered her eyes.
"The first time I saw my brother, it was in a peach blossom forest, and he was running with me on his back, and we were all embarrassed, but I don't know why, I did feel very happy and relieved.
And at that time, the peach blossoms fell on his body, and the scene was really beautiful, and then there was a great drought one year, and all the peach blossom forests died.
I just want to plant a peach blossom forest in the backyard, but it doesn't seem to work, sometimes I see that others can do a lot of things, but I can't do anything, I really feel redundant. From Nan Zili, who was immersed in good memories at the beginning, her expression slowly dimmed as she spoke.
Maybe it's because I thought of it, and my oil bottle attribute is a little inferior.
"No, you're already good and you're working hard." Ling Mo thought about it, but she still decided to comfort her, after all, she was really distressed like this.
After half a day, he was not so sad, and wanted to put on a faint smile again, and turned his head to ask me.
"Do you like peach blossoms?"
"I like it, the peach is dying, scorching, it's beautiful." Ling Mo thought of a lot of peach blossom scenes, don't think of the story of three lives, three worlds and ten miles of peach blossoms.
"Hee-hee, remember to come and see it when the flowers bloom." Nanzi smiled heartily.
Ling Mo nodded, and suddenly felt a blur in front of her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the streets of Kyoto.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" A coughing sound brought her thoughts back.
"Are you alright?" Ling Mo looked at Nan Zili in front of him and asked with some complexity.
"I'm fine, I'm used to it, I really don't understand, I can only see it, I still don't let go of this pain, I may need a new handkerchief, I see that there are a lot of good-looking handkerchiefs in Sister Yi Wuhua under the willow tree in front, I really hope I can ask her for one." Nanzili raised his head and looked at the woman under the willow tree over there.
"Okay, I'll help you." Ling Mo followed her gaze and remembered her task, so she took the initiative to accept it.
All the way trotted to the woman under the willow tree.
"You want a handkerchief, which is a woman's personal possession, so how can you give it to someone else? Even if you are good-looking, you can't flirt with people at will. Yi Wuhua frowned and looked up at her.
"Ah, no, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to buy you some handkerchiefs." Ling Mo looked at the woman in front of her a little speechlessly, I'm just a handkerchief, how can I act as if I have that tendency.
"You want this, I don't want the money, then we can compare, if you win this thing, I'll give it to you." Yi Wuhua shook her head and pushed away the money in Ling Mo's hand.
"Okay, then let's compare. Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom. Ling Mo responded very happily.
Ino Hua turned away.
Ling Mo quietly took the handkerchief from him without being noticed by her.
"Got it, it's too easy." Ling Mo smiled, this is a piece of cake for me.
Ling Mo took the handkerchief and handed it to Nan Zili, and she smiled and thanked her.
Suddenly, Ling Mo felt that her eyes were dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she was in a small street.
"This is? Have you entered Nanzili's world again? ”
The street doesn't look like where you used to be.
Ling Mo suddenly found a familiar figure, it was Nan Zili.
Watch his tiny figure weave through the crowd, going back and forth from stall to stall, as if looking for something.
"Zili, are you looking for something?" Ling Mo hurriedly stepped forward to ask, rubbing his favorability.
"Huh? Is that you? Nan Zili was startled when he heard someone speak, and turned around with some surprise.
"Why do you seem to be shocked every time you see me?" Ling Mo looked at herself, is it so scary?
"No, no, no, it's that I didn't see you." Nanzi waved his hand and said quickly.
"Are you looking for something? I see you've been visiting multiple stalls. Ling Mo hurriedly asked, see if you can help yourself.
"No, I'm saying hello to Uncle Wang, Aunt Li, and Brother Liu, even if they come over once every half a month, I haven't seen them for a long time, they helped our brothers and sisters a lot before, and my brother has a rule, do you know" Nan Zili asked, when she talked about her brother, her eyes were very gentle.
"Is it the rule for helping to collect money?" Ling Mo thought of what she had said before.
Nan Zili was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Yes, even if you ask him for help, he wants to collect money, and I will tell you a secret quietly, my brother doesn't dare to mention money when he helps them, hehe"
Nan Zili stepped forward and whispered, as if he was afraid that the other party would hear it.
"Don't tell your brother about this, he'll say I've broken his rules." Nan Zili stuck out his tongue very mischievously.
Ling Mo noticed that he was carrying an empty basket and asked, "Are you going to buy something?"
"Ah, I've forgotten the time when I'm chatting, I have to buy everything quickly." As he spoke, Nanzi turned around briskly and walked towards a cloth house.
Ling Mo also followed behind her.
"Boss Qi gave me half a horse, and no longer gave me a coarse cloth." Nan Zili said obediently.
"Do you want to make clothes for your brother when you are doing things?" The boss asked very familiarly.
"Well, my brother's clothes have been distributed several times, and I want to make a new one for him." Nan Zili nodded, her eyes were extraordinarily soft.
"Okay, you take it, this is your cloth, a total of 110 Wen." The boss smiled and handed her the prepared cloth.
"Give you money." After Nanzili gave the money, he didn't leave and went to the front of the shoe stall.
"Aunt Li." Nan Zili greeted the woman selling cloth.
Aunt Li saw Nan Zili's expression a little strange, and Nan Zili was also a little embarrassed.
"Your aunt is still angry, and I was blamed for what happened last time." Nan Zili lowered his head in embarrassment.
"What does it have to do with you, it's all your brother's nonsense, what to say, my shoes are tofu scum, they will be broken as soon as I wear them, and I don't want to think about how many walks he has to walk every day, I have cloth shoes, not iron shoes, his running style, the shoes will not break." Aunt Li said complainingly.
"Aunt Li is my brother's bad, don't be angry." Nan Zili said in a low voice.
"I'm worried that you've been deceived, alas, my aunt also knows that it's not easy for you brothers to calculate, so you came to buy shoes for him again." Aunt Li looked at Nan Zili's appearance, and she couldn't lose her temper, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, people apologized to her well, how could she care so much.
"Mm-hmm, who doesn't know that this is the sturdiest shoe you sell." Nan Zili said very unobediently and flatteringly.
"Hey, everyone likes to hear what you say, it's not me who blows it......" Aunt Li chattered.
"Take these for your brother to take back, 20 Wen." After Mrs. Li finished blowing her shoes, she took out a pair of shoes of similar size from the stall and gave it to her.
Nan Zili wanted to take a look at the result, and suddenly found, "This heel?" ”
"Or how to say that you are careful, these are specially designed and reinforced for your brother, they are not so easy to break, and they are not so comfortable to wear, but your brother's broken feet may not be felt." When Aunt Li talked about her brother, she looked a little bad.
"Aunt Li, thank you so much for giving you money." Nan Zili counted 20 yuan from the money bag and handed it to her.
Then he walked happily with his clothes and shoes.
Ling Mo looked at her and asked, "Zili, don't you bargain when you buy things?"
"Bargaining prices? No, he talks about as many other people's things as he wants, we think it's worth it, we buy it, we don't buy it if it's not worth it, if it's cheap, aren't people happy? Nan Zili shook his head.
"Zili, you still think about others." Ling Mo thought that when she used to buy things, she always bargained with others, was it wrong?
Nan Zili had an innocent expression on his face.
"What if someone else deliberately sells it expensive?" Ling Mo looked at Nan Zili's appearance, he was really a simple and lovely Yazi.
"Well, my brother will beat him." Nan Zili always smiled and stuck out her tongue when she talked about her brother.
Ling Mo looked at her innocent and showed a shallow smile, Ling Mo smiled.
She stared at Ling Mo's face and asked, "What would you want in your place called Jianghu?"
Ling Mo's thoughts were pulled far away, in fact, she originally thought that she would stay on the mountain bag in that small mountain village for the rest of her life, but she didn't want to strayed into this river and lake.
What she wants is to travel back, if she can't go back, then she wants a mobile phone and will live in ancient times for a lifetime.
But now these don't seem to be able to talk to Nan Zili, she thought about it carefully and said: "Be free and free, and travel the rivers and lakes."
"Oh, so you like this very much, so if I get into trouble one day, will you come and help me?" Nan Zili said very yearningly.
"Of course!" Ling Mo waved his hand very proudly and said.
"Whatever the trouble?" Nan Zili asked happily.
"Hmm!" Ling Mo nodded seriously.
"Hehe, I really look like a hero!" Nan Zili said with a smile.
"What about you? Then you are also in the rivers and lakes, what do you want to do? ”
Ling Mo's question made the girl in front of her a faint layer of sadness.
Stunned, he slowly turned his head sideways.
"I ...... Now I don't dare to go less, I'm worried that if I want too much, I will lose even the current one, I, it's good now. Nan Zili seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Looking at her slightly melancholy eyes, Ling Mo nodded, "It's good that you can think like this, contented people are like you." ”
Nan Zili took a breath and regained his spirits.
Ling Mo looked at her and thought that it was indeed good to look like this.
Ling Mo walked around with her again, until it was dark again.
Sure enough, just now I went back to Nanzili's past...... Now it's back. Ling Mo looked at the familiar street in front of her, which was the main street of Kyoto.
Seeing Nan Zili in front of him suddenly it was dark again, Ling Mo suddenly knew what was going on, could you let me rest for a while, why did you come again.
At this time, the sun was setting, and Ling Mo, who was alone, was already rumbling in her stomach at this time.
She was hungry when she smelled the smell of food in the air, and she couldn't help but look for the smell.
It turned out that the aroma of this meal wafted from the kitchen of the Nan family brothers and sisters, and now they were even hungrier.
Nan Zili saw her from the house and warmly beckoned her in.
"You haven't eaten yet, you just happened to come, we were about to prepare for dinner, let's go together." Nan Zili warmly invited.
"How do you know I haven't eaten?" Ling Mo asked with a smile.
"Look at the way you look...... You know, hehe. Nan Zili covered his mouth and smiled.
"Hehe, then I'm welcome, let me try Zili's craftsmanship." As soon as Nan Zili stepped into the door, he felt a cold gaze locked on him.
Nan Junyu sat at the table, his eyes were indeed staring at Ling Mo, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's you!" Ling Mo looked at the person sitting at the table, who was his partner not long ago.
"What? Know me? I don't seem to know you. Nan Junyu frowned when he looked at the person in front of him, thought about it, and didn't think of the person in front of him.
"I don't know, but I've heard a lot from Zili." Ling Mo thought that it was still in their memories of the past, so they still didn't know each other.
Nan Junyu stared at Ling Mo with some displeasure between his eyebrows.
"What do you see, I have flowers on my face, but I still have to pay for food?" Ling Mo gave him a blank look.
Nan Junyu continued to watch his every move coldly.
Ling Mo suddenly remembered what she had forgotten, and asked consciously, "Zili, how much is this meal?" I have money, and I don't eat and drink for nothing. ”
Hearing this, Nan Junyu's expression eased slightly.
"Twenty Wen."
Sure enough, this guy is so picky at all times, and when he thinks of being with him, he always makes excuses to bet and tricks himself into inviting him to dinner.
Otherwise, he is cheeky to let himself pay the bill, I have never seen such a man who picks the door, if all the men in the world are like him, then there is no help.
Not a gentleman at all, no wonder I'm still single.
I really don't know what Nan Zili likes about him, if he hadn't grown up together, maybe the two wouldn't have been able to get together.
Nan Zili shook his head helplessly, "No, no, you don't dislike it, this coarse tea and light rice are good." ”
"Why not? It's natural to give money for eating, besides, where can you eat outside of your cooking skills? Nan Junyu hurriedly glared at Nan Zili.
"He's right, gotta give it." Ling Mo said approvingly, besides, she also wanted to help them.
Nan Junyu recovered and warmly invited Ling Mo to eat together.
This made Ling Mo inexplicably think of seeing money, in short, there is a world of difference between having money and not having money.
Ling Mo was already hungry for a table of good dishes, and he couldn't bear it anymore at this time.
Just then, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Brother Yu, we don't know the trap in the mountains, it seems that we have caught something, let's go back and take a look, as long as we do it, we will send it." At the door, a big-shouldered and round-waisted Orion said a little excitedly.
"Really? Two cows. Nan Junyu suddenly stood up and asked with some excitement.
Nan Junyu looked at the dining table and hesitated.
"I'm eating, I'm not going, I'm not going, it's probably a wild boar or something, you can go and see it yourself, I won't go." He shook his head decisively.
"Don't, Brother Yu." Erniu approached Nan Junyu and whispered something.
Nan Junyu hesitated again.
"I'll eat first, and I'll go over after eating."
"This ...... Then I'll go check it out first, you must come later. After saying that, the two bulls didn't look back, and ran to the other side of the mountain.
Nan Junyu returned to the table in a flash, sat down again, and kept babbling in his mouth.
"I've done so many traps, I've lived so many times, maybe it's been in vain this time, where is the 100 mountain goods so easy to get, maybe this time, alas, forget it, let's eat, no matter what."
"Poof!" Nan Zili covered his mouth and chuckled.
