Chapter Ninety-Five: The Old Man surnamed Jia
Wherever there are people, there will be hungry people.
The so-called eating, drinking, and Lazar, eating is always ranked first by people.
People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.
The huge Famous Sword Villa, hundreds of people, this open mouth, always has to be filled by someone.
Bai Xiaochun said, "I heard that you have worked as a cook, and there is just a shortage of people in the room, so let's go over!" ”
Unsurprisingly, Yun Xiaotian and the others were arranged by him to come to the kitchen of the newly built Famous Sword Villa.
In front of a white-walled, black-tiled, earth-and-stone kitchen with a series of corridors, a girl in red was bored leaning against the rough black and red wooden door, looking like she was waiting for Yun Xiaotian and their newcomers.
The girl looked up at Yun Xiaotian and the others brought by Bai Xiaochun, and said, "My name is Le Que, Happy Le, Magpie Que, you can just call me Sister Le, and you will mess with me in the future." ”
"We don't have anything else to do here, just make a fire and cook. There are no requirements, just cook the things, just poison them and kill them. ”
Hearing the girl in red say this, Bai Xiaochun on the side wanted to refute a few sentences, but she was glared at by the girl in red, and she was immediately stunned, and she was so frightened that she swallowed back the resentment in her stomach.
His resentment is actually nothing, probably just complaining about the things made by the girl in red, which is really unpalatable, and his poor little belly has become a lot smaller.
Bai Xiaochun has always been quite passionate about eating, so he is naturally very dissatisfied.
The girl in red named Le Que blew her black hair hanging down from her sideburns, and her apricot eyes seemed to be able to emit lightning, she looked at Bai Xiaochun impatiently, and then waved her hand at him, signaling that he could roll now.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun sighed again, and his face was full of a sense of unwillingness to be wronged.
If he is still in power, how can he be reduced to the point of being called around by such a girl.
It's just that despite thinking so, Bai Xiaochun still smiled and left this kitchen with white walls and black tiles.
The girl in red, Le Que, came to the burning stove and said to an old man with gray hair: "Grandpa Jia, we have a few more people here, help me arrange them!" ”
This old man surnamed Jia already had a lot of dry wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, looking like a kind old man. He patted off the dust on his hands, and the green tendons on his hands were bulging like steel bars, and they were like swimming dragons, calloused, and at a glance, he knew that he had done a lifetime of work. The old man stood up, he looked thin, half a head taller than everyone else, his wrinkled skin was still ruddy, and his silver white hair was a little thin, and there was a lot of gray-black old hair in the middle.
I saw that his gaze casually swept over Yun Xiaotian and the others, and stayed on Yun Xiaotian slightly, looking a little surprised!
The girl in red, Le Que, naturally saw it in her eyes, and then asked, "Grandpa Jia, what's wrong?" Any questions? ”
The old man surnamed Najia laughed, his laughter was heroic and cheerful, and it seemed that even the criss-crossing wrinkles on his face had loosened and weakened a little, and he replied seemingly casually: "Haha...... It's nothing, I just think that this young man looks a bit like my son, who has been dead for many years, alas, ......! It's all in the past, don't mention it! ”
Then, the old man looked at Yun Xiaotian, and he said again: "You can stay here and help me!" May I? ”
Of course, Yun Xiaotian couldn't refuse at this time, so he naturally nodded.
It's just that he was a little hairy by the old man's eyes, and he didn't dare to look directly, so he had to look away in embarrassment and pretend not to care.
The red-clothed girl named Le Que was obviously a complete shopkeeper, and after bringing Yun Xiaotian and his party over, she didn't care about it at all, whatever the old man surnamed Jia arranged.
"Come with me!" The old man surnamed Jia said to them warmly and kindly, with a smile.
Before taking them to arrange a place, the old man asked Yun Xiaotian, "Burn the fire, will you?" ”
Yun Xiaotian naturally understood what the old man meant, nodded, and sat down in front of the stove, which was already extremely smooth, but could vaguely see the traces of the knife and axe, and stared at the orange-yellow flames rushing in front of him.
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Jia didn't say anything, just smiled, took the others away, and made other arrangements for them.
But before he went far, the old man surnamed Jia found that a woman was still standing in place and did not follow him away.
After many twists and turns, although the old man didn't know why, he walked back again and asked the woman, "Why don't you leave?" ”
The woman pointed to Yun Xiaotian and said, "I'm with him." ”
The old man surnamed Jia was also cheerful, and said, "Then you can stay too." ”
With that, the spirited old man led the others to another part of the house.
This prescription was left on the stove where the soot had accumulated for an unknown amount of time, and when everyone left, only Yun Xiaotian and Ai Bingtai were left.
Yun Xiaotian burned on fire.
Ai Bingtai had nothing to do, just stood and watched quietly as he lit the fire.
From time to time, Yun Xiaotian sent firewood of different thicknesses into the roaring stove under the stone stove, adding power to it without stopping.
The white mist of steam, escaping from the gap between the thick wooden lid and the large iron pot, spewed out incessantly, and as the breeze dispersed into the wafting air, it was fleeting, and only a small part of it went out of the kitchen door.
Yun Xiaotian didn't talk to the woman who had been with him, he still patiently lit the fire, broke the excessively long branches from time to time, and sent them into the stove, the tongue of fire swallowed the wooden branches, and then made a squeaky sound.
Whether it was Yun Xiaotian or Ai Bingtai, even if they came to this strange place, they didn't seem to have the intention or idea of speaking.
In fact, even if they do, what can they say?
Such an atmosphere may seem embarrassing to outsiders, but these two people have long been used to it, but they both feel comfortable getting along like this.
The stove fire jumped under the stove, and the fire shone on Yun Xiaotian's body, which also followed the light and flickering, like a passionate dance with residual warmth, and his face was reddened.
Ai Bingtai stared at Yun Xiaotian next to the stove, and she didn't know what she was thinking at this time.
At least Yun Xiaotian, who was staring at this time, would not know that he would not dare to guess the woman's thoughts, and he would never guess wrong.
He just felt troublesome, very troublesome.
Yun Xiaotian never thought that the ugly girl who had been with him for more than ten days would be from the Star Capital like him, and they might even be students of the Star Mansion Academy in the future.
Sometimes, Yun Xiaotian can't help but worry about how embarrassing it will be if they meet again, if she still pesters him like this, then he really doesn't know what to do?
Yun Xiaotian could only pretend to be burning the fire without distraction, as if he hadn't noticed the strange gaze of the ugly girl.
Of course, in fact, it is impossible for him to know what kind of mind this ugly girl has.
It stands to reason that after coming here, maybe she can find Xingdu's friends, and there is no need to pester him.
Ai Bingtai didn't have much thought at this time, staring at Yun Xiaotian, he just had nothing to do, but he had developed this habit these days.
After these days of running, Ai Bingtai's blue clothes have long been dirty, and the jet-black mineral dust is stained with her clothes, and with her ugly face at this time, it looks really flattering, and can even be said to be quite scary unceremoniously.
Along the way, except for Bai Xiaochun, who was constantly annoying around her, everyone else seemed to have no interest in her, and sometimes they didn't even bother to hide the disgust and disdain in their eyes, as if they felt that it was right for them to look at her coldly.
After so many days, Ai Bingtai is used to this kind of look, and she doesn't care much about it anymore, but she is still a little uncomfortable when she is looked at like this by these teenagers who have come here, who likes to be disgusted?
Naturally, she won't get together with other people to dislike people.
Therefore, after being with her peers for so long, she didn't say a word to anyone, and she was so quiet and silent that almost everyone except Yun Xiaotian thought that she seemed to be a mute.
Anyway, Yun Xiaotian has long been used to seeing her, so she will rely on him.
Where to go, not to go?
As for saying that he likes Yun Xiaotian and the like, how is this possible? What kind of vision she Ai Bingtai has, he is still far behind! How could she, Ai Bingtai, fall in love with such an ordinary teenager who she hated so easily.
If she is willing, how many people in the entire Terran Federation can refuse.
The young talent who was much better than the demented fool in front of her, and she didn't know how much she couldn't help but be tempted by Yun Xiaotian.
Ai Bingtai looked in the direction of Yun Xiaotian with fluttering eyes, the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, he regained his former self-confidence, and continued to look at Yun Xiaotian condescendingly, trying to try his best to find his shortcomings.
Yun Xiaotian's shortcomings, she is looking for more and more, so she can't help but feel that Yun Xiaotian really annoys her very much, and it is absolutely impossible to like him.
Stingy, he even had to grab fish soup from her.
But as soon as he thought of this, Ai Bingtai couldn't help but smile.
But the smile that was careless was seen by Yun Xiaotian, who made her stare uncomfortably.
At this time, her ugly face became more and more distorted with a smile, and Yun Xiaotian was scared into a cold sweat.
He couldn't guess why the ugly girl in front of him was staring at him, why she was showing such a weird smile, what terrible idea was she having?
Yun Xiaotian didn't dare to ask out loud, so he could only think about himself, but the more he thought about it, the more he was frightened by his bad thoughts! He was worried in his heart, but he continued to pretend that he didn't see anything, didn't think anything, didn't know anything. His hands trembled slightly, and he continued to send the broken branches of the blue-gray veneer in his hands into the fiery red stove fire as before, adding to the majesty of the flames in the stove.
Time seems to pass slowly with the sound of water vapor and whirring stove fire.
The men and women on both sides of the stove have their own thoughts.
