Chapter 045: Cinnabar (14)
"Is this one you found really my wishful mother?" Outside the kitchen, Yin Yuan, who had grown into a beautiful man, looked worriedly at the little woman standing in the kitchen, scratching her ears and cheeks, with a spoonful in her hand, but she could only look at the ingredients in the kitchen and worry: "Except for that name and those eyes, I really can't find a place where she is similar to my Ruyi mother." ā
"My temperament hasn't changed."
"It turns out that Daddy Fox, what you like is my wishful mother's temperament." Yin Yuan nodded his chin: "To be honest, I don't think there's anything special about my wishful mother's temperament." ā
"When you meet her, you will naturally understand that even if all her things are nothing special, as long as they belong to her, they are special."
"Why did you think of letting her go out of the kitchen? You know that she is not the original wishful mother, she loves to eat as much as my wishful mother, and she will not know anything else. When you let her cook, did you make her retreat? ā
"She'll remember." With a flick of the fox's index finger, a silver light flew in from the window and landed on Xing Ruyi's body.
"That'sā"
"That's what belonged to her."
"After all, Daddy Fox still likes the wishful mother in the past, right? You took her back to Qingqiu, but you didn't let us see her, and you didn't let her see us, just to wait for this day. ā
"I know in my heart that doing this is very unfair to Ruyi now. She is brand new, with her own complete memories and life. She lives in that originally quiet border town, with a father, a mother, and villagers who have watched her grow up. I appeared suddenly, took her away abruptly, and now I have to force her memories that originally belonged to her and did not belong to her...... Am I doing this wrong? ā
"It's wrong." Yin Yuan turned his back: "Ruyi's mother is gone, this is a fact, even if the fox father forcibly stuffs these memories back into her mind, she can't change back to the Ruyi mother in the past." Even if you change back, it's always the same. Instead of forcing himself and her, Daddy Fox should recognize the reality and accept her calmly. ā
"Accept her now?"
"Daddy Fox, Ruyi's mother is gone."
A slight remark made the fox clench his fist.
"We all know that Ruyi's mother is gone, but this does not prevent Daddy from falling in love with her in the next life and marrying her home to become his own lady again. We, my younger siblings and I, were happy to accept her and accept her as our stepmother. ā
"Stepmother?"
These two words pierced the fox's heart like nails.
"Ever since Ruyi's mother entered the River Styx, she has ceased to exist. Daddy Fox has been to another world, and he has also seen the wishful mother who does not exist in our memory at all, and he also tried to evoke her memory, but what was the result? Instead of forcibly getting her back, it's better to accept the new her calmly. ā
The fox didn't speak, didn't even look at Xing Ruyi in the kitchen again, but turned his back and left.
"What's wrong with him?"
A piece of white scales fell to the ground and turned into a woman dressed in white with a beautiful appearance.
"Probably stimulated by my words." Yin Yuan nodded his chin.
"Stimulation?"
"Daddy Fox has always refused to accept the fact that Ruyi's mother left. Since Ruyi's mother fell into the River Styx, he tried his best to get her back. In order to find the Ruyi mother, in order to let the Ruyi mother who got it back remember everything between them as soon as possible, he actually used his spiritual power to leave the entire Ruyi Rouge Shop and the girl called Magpie in the rouge shop. In order to find Ruyi's mother, he did not hesitate to use the Qingqiu forbidden technique to go to another world, but in the end, he still failed to bring Ruyi's mother back. ā
"Now, isn't your wishful mother back?"
"She's not." Yin Yuan stared at the little woman standing in the kitchen: "Even if I admit that she is my wishful mother, she may not dare to have a son as big as me." She is a wishful mother, but she is not a wishful mother, and for the fox father, this relationship should be more complicated. He left because he began to try to accept the fact that Ruyi's mother was no longer there, and at the same time, he was struggling with his possible betrayal of Ruyi's mother. Daddy Fox is hard. ā
"Sounds so complicated." The woman in white frowned: "It's still as simple as we make fish." ā
"Well, yes, it's easier to cook."
The woman in white's face changed and quickly fled.
"Bad guy, think about eating me all day long!"
"If you don't want to be eaten by me, run away, don't always hang in front of me." Yin Yuan stretched his waist lazily, and was about to leave, but saw the little woman holding a spatula in the kitchen looking at her with burning eyes.
"Hey!" He greeted and gracefully lowered his outstretched arm.
"You're the best-looking person I've ever met besides my master." Xing Ruyi ran to the window with a plate: "The fish I just made, do you want to taste it?" ā
"Taste...... Try? ā
Fang Cai's fox father has forcibly conveyed the memories of Ruyi's mother to her, so now she should be able to cook, right? Well, the fish in front of you, at least it looks delicious.
"Taste it!"
Xing Ruyi enthusiastically handed over the fish.
Yin Yuan took a bite carefully, then turned around and spit it out.
"What, it's not tasty? Is it hard to eat? ā
"Offal, why don't you dispose of the offal when you're making fish?"
"Need to be dealt with?" Xing Ruyi looked at Yin Yuan suspiciously: "To be honest, it's the first time I've made fish, and I thought I couldn't do it, but who knew that I suddenly had an idea in my head." However, none of the images that came to my mind were slaughtered and killed, and no one told me that the fish needed to be eviscerated. ā
"It's okay, once you are born, you are second to mature, you continue to work hard." Yin Yuan stroked his hair: "That, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ā
"Hey, who are you?"
"Yin Yuan." Yin Yuan turned his back to Xing Ruyi and waved his hand: "We will be very familiar with it in the future." ā
"Yin Yuan, Yin Chensi, the relatives of Master Fox?" Xing Ruyi muttered, first poured out the fish on the plate, and then returned to the stove, continuing to work hard to restore the picture in his mind.
Outside the small kitchen, Yin Yuan was also muttering: "Daddy Fox, there seems to be a little mistake in the memory you gave her." ā
After cooking the fish in the entire kitchen, Xing Ruyi finally made a steamed carp with full color and flavor. The carp was ready, but the fox was missing, she searched all the fox holes, searched all the green hills, but the master who was always elusive was gone. So much so that Xing Ruyi suspected that the ultimate purpose of the fox stuffing her into the small kitchen under the pretext of taking her to meet her family was to abandon her.
Also, an apprentice like her who can eat and is good for nothing is indeed quite annoying.
A misty drizzle washed the green hill more and more beautifully. In the bazaar, those vendors collected the magic weapons to protect themselves from the rain, and shouted one by one. Xing Ruyi put away the umbrella and put a fresh crucian carp into the bamboo basket.
"What are you going to do today?"
"Steamed crucian carp with peppercorns."
The stall owner wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked again with a smile: "Young master, haven't you come back yet?" ā
"The master will be back."
"That's it! The young master must be reluctant to give up the girl. As the old saying goes, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach. The girl's cooking skills are getting better and better, and as long as the young master returns, she will be reluctant to leave. ā
"It's his business to give up, let him go, but it's my business." Xing Ruyi picked up a handful of bay leaves and put them on top of the crucian carp. turned around and saw Yin Yuan standing there with a smile on his face. "Did you find your fox daddy?"
"Listen, you seem to be remembering something again?"
"I remembered something." Xing Ruyi asked the vendor to cut a piece of tofu: "For example, I remember that your favorite drink is crucian carp tofu soup. ā
"I actually...... I don't like to drink soup. ā
"You can't eat tofu until you have teeth."
"Ruyi...... Mother? ā
"I'm not as big a son as you." Xing Ruyi turned around: "It's strange to say, since the master disappeared, I have remembered many things one after another. These things are as much as I have experienced them myself, and they are as much as I have seen other people's things. Later, because I was looking for a master, I wandered around this Qingqiu for more than half a year, and met a lot of people, some of whom seemed to know me, and with them, I restored more memories. ā
"To be precise, those memories don't belong to you, but to your past lives."
"Last life?" Xing Ruyi put down the bamboo basket: "After a person dies, isn't he going to drink Meng Po soup?" After drinking Meng Po soup, I won't remember the events of my previous life, but how can I remember it instead. ā
"Probably because the underworld is poor, Meng Po soup is mixed with too much water." Yin Yuan patted his forehead: "If I had known that Ruyi Niang could think of this, I wouldn't have said those things to Daddy Fox that shouldn't have been said." ā
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Yin Yuan hurriedly covered up the past: "I'm curious, when did you start thinking about these things?" ā
"When I saw the portrait of the master."
"Portrait of Daddy Fox?"
"Yes, it's the portrait in that little box."
"The picture of the fox daddy out of the bath, painted by Ruyi's mother, I mean, you painted it in the previous life."
"yes, that's the picture." Xing Ruyi half-narrowed his eyes: "The master once said that if you see a man with a cinnabar mark on his heart, he has found my future husband." On that portrait, there is such a cinnabar mark on his heart. From that day on, more and more images appeared in my mind, more and more, and those memories that were originally very vague became clearer, and I finally understood why the master appeared in the town, and why he chose me to be his apprentice. ā
"Then Ruyi Niang, kiss you-"
"Call me Ruyi, although I know that I was your Ruyi mother, but you also said that it was a matter of the previous life. In this life, you can be my uncle, call me mother, and always feel awkward and panicked. ā
"Uncle?" Yin Yuan hurriedly looked at himself: "Am I so old?" ā
"It's not that you're old, it's that your age is here." Lifting the bamboo basket, Xing Ruyi walked towards the fox hole.
Yin Yuan followed closely step by step, and asked as he walked: "Ruyi Niang...... Ruyi, then how are you going to get along with my fox daddy? ā
"According to the seniority, he is the master, and I am the apprentice, but there is no rule in Qingqiu that says that female apprentices cannot chase the master. Since he said he was my husband, I had to find a way to get him to bed. Otherwise, wouldn't I be sorry for what he taught me all these years. ā
"Then you are still my wishful mother." Yin Yuan touched the tip of his nose: "Do you want to know where my fox daddy is?" ā
