Chapter 104: Love is not long
Grandma Gu is an honest and extremely simple woman, and she has never left the place where she lived in her life.
Her wife, Gu's father, died of illness a few years ago, and several children also got married and left her.
For so many years, she lived here alone.
Since Huo Qingxin moved here three years ago, she often came to Huo Qingxin's place to walk around at first, but every time she faced Ji Chen, who was a little 'fierce and evil', she gradually didn't dare to come again.
Originally, this lonely and nameless small village suddenly came to a person with such an extraordinary appearance, and some villagers rushed to come over to find out.
Even some of the big girls with yellow flowers who were still waiting for the word boudoir secretly came to take a look at this handsome Ji Chen.
However, in the face of this gloomy man, all the villagers were scared and didn't dare to come again.
So today, seeing this person's sudden visit, Grandma Gu was naturally very scared.
Especially when she saw the pheasant he was holding in her hand, which in her eyes was bloody, Grandma Gu couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Pushing the door panel in his hand, he stammered and asked.
"You... What are you doing? ”
Regarding the old woman's reaction when she saw him, Ji Chen was a little helpless, she was really going to kill herself if she did too much injustice.
He was not an approachable person in the first place, not to mention that Huo Qingxin lived here, so he had to be cautious.
However, in the hearts of these peasant households, he has now become a wicked existence.
When everyone saw him, they all took a detour.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen's somewhat stiff face eased again, making himself look more natural.
"Grandma, I just came to ask you for advice, don't be afraid, I don't eat people."
When the words fell, Grandma Gu was even more shocked and was about to close the door.
Seeing this, Ji Chen hurriedly explained his intentions, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would scare everyone away.
"I just came to ask for advice on how to stew this pheasant soup, and there is no other malice."
Hearing him say this, Grandma Gu was a little suspicious and stopped closing the door.
Unsure asked, "Just for this?" ”
Ji Chen felt helpless again, so he had to nod.
Seeing that he was no longer a fierce and vicious look, Grandma Gu relieved her mind a little.
Then he took the pheasant and went to his kitchen to start working on it.
After disposing of the things, she told Ji Chen how to stew them.
I saw that Ji Chen didn't seem to understand what he heard, in his opinion, this cooking seemed to be more difficult than practicing a mental method!
After coming back from Grandma Gu's house, he found a big clay pot according to what Grandma Gu said, put the whole chicken in it, and put some condiments in it.
Then start the fire and simmer.
It's just that this fire made it difficult for him again.
In the past, it was not difficult to make a fire in the wild, but the difficult thing was that the fire point was in this stove, and he tried several times, but the fire did not work well, but he was choked by the smoke of the fire all over the house and ran out of the kitchen.
On the other side, Li Yong, who saw smoke by the river and kept coming out of the kitchen, thought it was a fire, and exclaimed.
"How can there be smoke coming out of the kitchen, is it a fire?"
When Huo Qingxin and Feng Yang heard this, they both turned around in unison, and saw that green smoke was coming out of the corner of the kitchen.
Huo Qingxin hurriedly put down the long pole in her hand and wanted to go back to take a look, thinking that she had only eaten two pastries in the morning and had not made a fire to cook, so how could it catch fire.
When they all entered the small courtyard, they saw a man in a dark brocade robe holding a pu fan in his hand, leaning back and leaning back in front of him.
When he saw that the man's originally fair face was covered with black ashes, Huo Qingxin couldn't help but chuckle.
Ji Chen laughed when he saw this woman, and Feng Yang and Li Yong were looking at him with strange eyes, and he quickly wiped his cheeks subconsciously.
His face was also a little unnatural, when had he ever been so embarrassed.
Feng Yang entered the kitchen and saw the stove still smoking, so he quickly scooped a spoonful of water and doused the wood.
Outside the house, Huo Qingxin smiled for a while and asked.
"What are you doing in the kitchen, are you trying to burn down my kitchen?"
When Ji Chen heard this, his face was even more unnatural, if it weren't for the black ashes on his face, I am afraid that Huo Qingxin would have seen his already red face.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Huo Qingxin had no choice but to go into the kitchen to see what was going on after the green smoke cleared.
When she saw the contents of the crockpot, she knew what this guy was up to.
At this time, Ji Chen, who had already wiped his face, also walked in.
After Huo Qingxin closed the lid of the clay pot again, he turned around and asked.
"You brought this?"
“。。。。。。。” The man was still silent, still looking bad.
Huo Qingxin took him as a default and continued to ask.
"You want chicken soup?"
“。。。。。。。” The silence is still there, but this time, the unnatural face has slowly darkened again.
It wasn't until this moment that Huo Qingxin reacted in hindsight.
"You want to stew chicken soup for me?"
“。。。。。。。”
Ji Chen, who had been silent all the time at this time, had turned his face away and deliberately didn't look at the people who were looking at him.
Seeing his appearance, Huo Qingxin raised his eyebrows and quipped.
"The sun is coming out in the west today, you will cook chicken soup for me yourself, okay, my fishing rod is still by the river, you remove a few fish and come back, I'll get it here."
By the end of her sentence, she had crouched down, ready to light the fire again.
It's just that the three big men in the room didn't move, they were all watching quietly.
Huo Qingxin squatted down, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw six big eyes around her, staring at her.
"Are you all hungry?!" The way he stared at her was like staring at a delicious meal.
At this moment, Ji Chen, who had already wanted to get out of the door, hurriedly moved his steps and walked outside the house.
As soon as he got out of the kitchen, he hurried to the river and sat down where Huo Qingxin was sitting.
His chest was a little short, his breathing became chaotic, and his heart was beating a little fast.
He is a big man, and he is no longer a young man who has not dried up, and he is still shy.
Ji Chen couldn't help but be taken aback by his reaction just now.
What kind of magic obstacle did he fall into, he would have blushed!
And at this moment, in the small kitchen, Huo Qingxin, who was already familiar with the fire, couldn't help but feel funny while adding wood to the stove.
The guy looked helpless just now, which was really funny to think about, but Ji Chen's blush, which he thought he had concealed well, had already been discovered by Huo Qingxin.
Huo Qingxin chuckled and shook her head, what was that guy's thoughts, although she didn't explain it to her, she knew it.
It's not that she is amorous, but now as an outsider without love, she is also a person who can see love clearly.
Huo Qing thought to herself, she should make it clear to Ji Chen and ask him not to waste time on herself again.
When the chicken soup was boiled, it was already past lunchtime, and during this time, Huo Qingxin also prepared a meal.
After a few people had eaten, Huo Qingxin sent Feng Yang and Li Yong away, and stayed alone in the grass pavilion with Ji Chen.
At this time, on the table in the grass pavilion, there was still chicken soup that had not been removed, and the leftover chicken soup was eaten.
Huo Qingxin drank several bowls of this pheasant soup, she thought, this pheasant soup must be very delicious.
It's a pity that although she drank several bowls, she couldn't taste it.
Two days ago, she only felt that her taste had faded, but she never thought that her taste was slowly degrading.
Today, she can't even taste anything of the food she eats.
Her sense of taste has become unconscious...
At this moment, Ji Chen, who was standing on the side, was waiting for her to speak, and seeing that she had not spoken for a long time, he took the lead in breaking the silence.
"What are you going to tell me?"
Huo Qingxin put away the gaze he had been staring at and moved his gaze to the peach tree opposite the grass pavilion.
I thought to myself, now that her sense of taste is gone, it won't be long before even these beautiful things will be gone.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.
"Ji Chen... Don't waste time on me, get out of here, do what you want and live the life you want. ”
When Ji Chen heard this, his face changed abruptly, and he turned his head directly to look at the woman not far from him.
For some reason, in the past few days, whenever he saw Huo Qingxin, he always saw a faint feeling of sadness in her.
He knew that Huo Qing had something on his mind, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
Thinking of what she said when she was fishing in the river in the morning...
In this world, there is nothing more ridiculous than empathy.
The pain and hurt in Huo Qing's heart cannot be generalized with empathy.
Ji Chen was a little distressed in his heart, and said with a straight face.
"What I'm doing and living now is exactly what I want to do and what I want to live."
What he wants to do is nothing more than to take care of her, and the life he wants to live is also the day when he can have her every day in the future.
In this way, he was content.
This point is somewhat similar to that Wen Xun, who is indifferent to fame and fortune and unwilling to fight for power.
But their brothers, they fell in love with the same woman before, and then fell in love with the same woman again.
Huo Qingxin still looked at the blooming peach blossoms and asked.
"Do you know what kind of life I want to live?"
“。。。。。。” The man was silent again, just looking into the eyes of the woman beside him, and the distress was even worse.
"I know my body, I know that I can face death at any time, I just want to live a life that belongs to me before this."
Ji Chen listened to these words quietly, not knowing how to get back to this woman who made him feel distressed.
At this time, Huo Qingxin once again retracted her distant gaze and moved to the man who was looking at her.
At a glance, she saw the distress in the man's eyes, and continued.
"Ji Chen, I don't have a heart now, I don't have love, I don't even have the consciousness of ordinary people, a person like me is not much better alive than the walking dead. Your appearance, cultivation, and ability are all excellent, if you want to make a difference, it is not difficult, if you want someone who knows and loves each other, it is not difficult. You have a lot of options, and better choices, and you don't have to waste time on me as a nondescript person. "Besides, she could feel that her time was running out, so let this man get away from her.
After Ji Chen heard this, his heart felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and he felt a pain.
Slowly walked towards the woman who was looking back at him, and after walking over, after looking at her somewhat pale face for a moment.
In the past three years, for the first time, he took the initiative to open his arms and hugged the person in front of him into his arms...
