It is said that it is not that enemies do not get together.

Du Ruo was very surprised, no one in the room had eaten ginger, and a little bit of anger rushed straight to his nose.

In front of each of the three men were eight silver-plated hammers, upsets, pliers, shovels, spoons, forks, scrapers, and needles. Gusu people are the most particular about eating crabs, and under the popularity of crab eating, they usually have to add eight pieces of crabs to their daughter's dowry to be considered complete.

Shuying rarely eats crabs so meticulously, so naturally she can only peel them slowly according to Du Niangzi's example, and she is always skillful under those crab claws and crab legs, but she is clumsy and funny.

In Du Niangzi's rules, just talking about drinking tea and eating crabs, it is twice as much as that of the Hou Mansion outside, and it is no wonder that she lives alone and can't get along with others.

After eating the crab, you have to use the tea in the porcelain jar to make your hands. Du Niangzi removed the chrysanthemum petals left on her hand, wiped them dry with a handkerchief, and put on the ring again, with a dignified demeanor and very elegant.

Mama Shi took another pot of warm chrysanthemum wine and poured it into their cups in turn, which was used to remove the fishy smell in the mouth.

The aroma of wine was steaming, and Shuying frowned.

When Du Niangzi saw her like this, she asked the reason, only to know that she would have chest tightness and heart palpitations after drinking, so she didn't drink alcohol on weekdays.

"It's hard for you, I'll ask him to eat this cup for you." Du Niangzi smiled guiltily and moved Shuying's wine glass to her son, "Mama Shi, give her some brown sugar ginger tea." ”

"I'm tired." Shuying bowed slightly.

"Girl, brown sugar ginger tea is the most mild, cold and stomach-nourishing. I see that your body is a little weak, I'm afraid you can't eat those things that are too cold, so you have to eat more good tonic on weekdays! ”

Shuying thanked Du Niangzi for her care, lowered her head and was stunned, casually listening to their mother and son talk about things outside the back house.

After drinking for a while, drinking tea is finished. Du Niangzi covered her face with a fan, and couldn't help yawning, saying that she got up early in the morning, and now she was a little sleepy, so she wanted to take a nap for half an hour.

Seeing that Lu Qi got up and seemed to be leaving, Shuying also said goodbye to Du Niangzi and went out from the verandah.

"Wait."

"What does Mr. Suiyun have to do?" She stopped, not turning.

"I haven't finished my words yet. You walk in such a hurry every time, are you avoiding me? ”

Lu Qi slowly walked around to her, leaned over slightly, and teased her eyelashes with a hint of the smell of wine, and her tone was much softer than usual, even a little like coquettishness.

Shuying raised his head and glared at him fiercely, and said with his eyes: You are drunk!

He read it.

"Those few glasses of wine weren't enough to get me drunk," he suddenly grabbed Shuying's wrist, "why run away?" Will escaping solve the problem? ”

The more she struggled, the closer his body came to her.

The wound on his wrist has not healed yet, and as soon as the force increases, it hurts piercingly.

The white silk cloth that wrapped around their wrists was loose, and the crimson scar was mercilessly exposed to their eyes.

"Follow me."

It was a tone that could not be resisted at all.

Lu Qi grabbed her hand upward, and then pulled her towards the backyard.

"Let it go! What are you doing? ”

Du Niangzi had already rested, and Mama Shi was also accompanying her in the house, and the whole courtyard did not hear any other sounds.

Shuying was afraid that they would hear the movement, so she bit her lower lip.

She instinctively pushed with her other hand, but in such a situation of great disparity in power, no matter how much resistance and rejection were in vain.

There are only two wings on the left and right in the backyard, the one on the left is the kitchenette, and the one on the right is stacked with some miscellaneous items, and those things in front of you are just enough to piece together a small table and a pair of stools.

Lu Qi brushed the table stool, but found that it was not stained with dust, thinking that people often came to sit.

"You always ask me what I do, why don't you ever ask yourself what I did?" He let go of her hand, and a layer of sweat broke out in his palm, "'Wounding a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred' is a stupid man's practice; ”

"How tired I would have lived if I hadn't forgotten my pain......" she straightened her sleeve and hid the wound.

"Do you have to bruise yourself before you give up? Remember, and wait for the right moment to get revenge, that's what you should do! ”

This was the first time she had seen Lu Suiyun get so angry. Although it was not a vicious word, a raging flame had already ignited in the front of the words, as if it was about to swallow her alive.

There was a tremor in her heart.

Through this face, she could vaguely see the stern father she faced when she was a child.

If you memorize the wrong word, you will be scolded, if you say the wrong thing, you will be punished......

It turns out that these pains have been engraved in my bones for a long time, and until now, half a cent has not diminished.

"It is also stupid to rush towards illusory justice in vain!"

He took out a small white porcelain jar from the cupboard next to him, which seemed to be filled with something heavy, "This is the external ointment that Wang Juhua prepared for you, you left too quickly that day, he had time to give it to you in the future, and then he asked me to hand it over." ”

Shuying picked up the jar and took a closer look, and when he opened the lid, a chill rushed to the top of his skull, "After so many days, have you forgotten to hand it over to me?" ”

"Well, I forgot."

Lu Qi admitted very calmly.

Of course, when Wang Juhua instructed him to boil all those medicinal materials into ointment, and when he was sneaking around in the kitchen behind his mother and Mama Shi's back, he was far less calm than today.

Shuying did think he was angry and funny, but he couldn't suppress the sourness in his nose for some reason, and the tears that had just stopped welled up again.

Lu Qi held her breath and stretched out her hand to help her wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

Seeing that her eyebrows were flat, silent, and her expression did not reveal any offense, he said gently: "Don't act recklessly in the future!" You must remember the lessons, make yourself stronger, and find the right opportunities to succeed. ”

"You are also an afterthought, why should you educate me?"

Her face burned and her flush rose sharply, so she hurriedly made an excuse to remove the two hands that had rested on her cheeks.

Lu Qi withdrew his hand into his sleeve, the flame in his eyes subsided, and he regained his indifferent expression, "Do you want to hear about my life experience?" ”

Shuying nodded, looking at the silhouette of his face, reading a little softness from his perseverance.

Lu Qi took out the plain folding fan from the palace silk on his waist and slowly unfolded it, as if scenes of the past were flowing in it.

"When I was a child, I lived in Gusu with my mother. My mother and son were not named at that time, and I was very thin, and every time I ran out of the house to play, I would be bullied by the big kids in the neighborhood. They always beat me all the way and insulted me and my mother with foul language. ”

He paused for a moment, as if in his heart he had convinced himself to accept the embarrassment. Suddenly, he smiled with relief, and continued: "I think, how can my mother be bullied by you bullies!" So one day, I sent them a letter of war, and I made an appointment to fight it out at the entrance of the alley where the most people came and went. ”
