Chapter 4 Enjoying the Coolness
There was a long "creak" sound from the damp wooden door, and Chen Fansheng looked over there, only to feel a cool water vapor rushing towards him, which was refreshing.
Cao Zhijin didn't wear a coat, his long black hair was pinned casually, and there were a little water stains on the middle coat and the tips of his hair, as if he had accidentally gotten it.
"What's wrong?" She looked at him suspiciously, then looked herself up and down again.
"Nothing!" He came back to his senses, put the dishes in order, and turned back to her, "It's time to eat." ”
She stood in the courtyard, pointed to a simple stone table under the willow tree, and asked him, "It's hot in the house, can you eat in the courtyard?"
Chen Fansheng transferred the dish to the stone table.
"You eat first, you don't have to wait for me." He glanced himself up and down, and Cao Zhijin knew that he wanted to take a bath, so he nodded.
Chen Fansheng walked into the kitchen, and after a while, he walked out with a jar.
"Why don't you eat it, don't you like it?" He glanced at her and asked.
She shook her head, picked up her chopsticks, and saw him crouching down by her skirt, carefully opening the lid, scooping a spoonful of something in the jar with a small spoon, and carefully scattering it around her.
"It's humid at night, and there are often centipedes, which are insect repellents." He explained.
Although their small courtyard is elegant, it is also simple, except for the stone table that has been polished by hand, and the so-called "stools" around the stone table are actually just a few good-looking stones.
The stones lay directly on the ground, and at night the ground was wet with dew, and it was not uncommon for centipedes to appear.
As soon as the medicine fell on the ground, it immediately emitted a pungent smell. However, the amount is small, and it is not very sharp.
Cao Zhijin frowned slightly, and he saw it.
"You'll have to bear with it, with my abilities, I can only match it to this extent." He was slightly embarrassed.
Cao Zhijin was greatly surprised.
"Do you know how to heal?"
Chen Fansheng smiled lightly and shook his head, "I can only understand some simple herbs. ”
"That's pretty good, too!" She was still excited, though she didn't know why she had a crush on someone who knew how to heal.
Chen Fansheng lowered his head, his breathing was a little disordered.
He can't be distracted anymore!
"Don't you sprinkle some on this stone? Or will you sprinkle it later? Cao Zhijin saw that he had covered the lid and patted the stone next to her, which was the place she had chosen for him.
He shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of centipedes."
Without waiting for Cao Zhijin to react, he went back to the kitchen to fetch water.
The more Cao Zhijin smelled it, the more familiar he felt the pungent smell, and a lot of herbs flashed in his mind, all of which were not right, just like a pile of knotted silk threads, and he obviously saw the silk threads, but he couldn't straighten them out.
One thing she was sure of was that the herb didn't seem to be common.
Scarcity is expensive. A farmer who does not farm and will soon have to spend his family on all sides of the house using this herb, can he not save money?
Xianggong is reluctant.
Cao Zhijin lay on the table, her heart was sour, she felt that she was very ignorant, he saved it for her, but she disliked it and didn't smell good.
The evening breeze blew, and a wave of sleepiness hit her, and her thoughts faded away......
……
Chen Fansheng tied the strap of his coat and walked out, and saw that she had fallen asleep on the table, and there were tears hanging on her soft eyelashes, and her heart moved, and she raised her hand to wipe it away, but she slowly raised her head like a hairy cub who was only moving carefully, and rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"Xianggong, you're done!"
As soon as she woke up, she smiled at him, and it was undoubtedly like a lamp, lighting up his heart.
"Hmm."
He hesitated, gently put his hand on the top of her head, and asked her, "There are tears in the corners of your eyes, why are you crying?"
She touched the corners of her eyes very casually, pretending to be confused: "I don't remember, maybe it's a nightmare."
"Why don't you eat?" He looked at the untouched plate again.
She smiled shyly but happily: "Wait for Xianggong."
Cao Zhijin watched him sit next to him happily, and hurriedly moved to the side and said, "Xianggong sits next to me, it's quite empty here!"
I didn't expect the action to be too big, so I accidentally moved it out, sat in the air, and planted the whole person in the opposite direction towards the willow tree with all four feet facing the sky.
"Be careful!"
She didn't know how he had come here, but she felt that before she could scream, she was dragged by him.
At this moment, she was like a basket held by him in his arm.
But she thought that any basket in the world would look more elegant than she was in a panic at the moment.
"Are you alright?" He sat her upright. Obviously, her head was still a palm away from the willow tree, but he still rubbed it uneasily.
"Xianggong, how did you come here just now?" She leaned on his arm and asked sheepishly.
Chen Fansheng's hand paused slightly, and soon recovered, and said with concern: "I'm afraid you'll fall."
Cao Zhijin felt embarrassed and left home, sighed, looked up at him seriously, "Xianggong sit down." ”
Chen Fansheng glanced at the half of the stone she had carefully vacated, and raised his foot to go back to his original position, but she grabbed his sleeve.
"Xianggong ......"
She let go with a slight tug, and then happily patted the vacant half of the stone next to her.
Chen Fansheng sighed and sat down beside her.
Forget it, she's still sick!
The stone is not too big, and two people huddle together, and you can clearly feel each other's temperature.
Chen Fansheng had just finished bathing, and his body was relatively cool, but as soon as he got close to her, his body temperature rose unconsciously.
"Xianggong, are you hot?" She looked at him quizzically.
Chen Fansheng lowered his head in front of her for the first time, he was very embarrassed, he didn't know what was wrong with him, as soon as he got close to her, his heart was in turmoil, he had never lost control like this!
"No, it's too hot." He refused to admit it.
Cao Zhijin ran into the house, took a fan to half-cover his face, poked his head out from behind the door, and asked him, "Xianggong, is this the fan I made?"
Chen Fansheng's gaze moved to the fan, but he only noticed that she had a pair of smart eyes that were bent into crescents and hid behind the fan.
The holy light of the bright moonlight is reflected in such a pair of eyes, or it is these eyes that illuminate the bright moon.
He thought that for the rest of his life, he would never be able to forget such a pair of eyes.
"Isn't it?" She urged.
Chen Fansheng came back to his senses and saw the embroidery of "Cloud Opening and Moonlight" embroidered on the fan, so he was no longer distracted.
He replied almost coldly, "Yes."
Cao Zhijin didn't expect her embroidery skills to be so powerful, no wonder Aunt Cao said that she was not worse than the county lord's miss.
She was so busy admiring herself that she didn't notice his change for a moment.
"Xianggong, I'll fan you." She sat back beside him with a fan, puffing out her cheeks and fanning him hard, and her sincere appearance made him embarrassed.
"Brocade, look!"
She looked in the direction of his finger and saw the sparkling fluorescence gathering in the flowers in the corner of the courtyard.
She happily took a fan to pounce, and the fireflies scattered. At this moment, she is like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, and the fluorescence around her is the fairy magic she uses greedily.
"Xianggong, what are you doing robbing my group fan?" She felt empty in her hand, and when she looked back, she saw that Chen Fansheng had already held the fan in her hand.
He shook his fan and said, "I'll help you."
As he spoke, he went back to the house and took out a jar.
Cao Zhijin just wanted to lean over to look, but his eyes were covered by his big hands.
"Xianggong ......"
With a bit of coquettish begging for mercy.
Chen Fansheng sighed: "Be good, close your eyes and surprise you."
She obediently closed her eyes, and when she heard him say "Okay", she opened them.
Chen Fansheng was no longer in front of her.
She turned around in confusion and saw him standing in the dark doorway, the moonlight shining on him, and he stood out.
He held the fan high in his right hand, and the fireflies voluntarily flew towards the fan, and the dots of fluorescence flickered and disappeared on the fan, forming just the "Yunkai Moonlight" embroidered by her.
She was so surprised that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and she stood there at a loss. At one point, she had an absurd illusion that this surprise did not come from her alone!
