Chapter Forty-Five: Their Distance

"Okay, good, you have a heart!" Grandma Li was very happy to pat the back of Bai Nishang's hand with her hand, borrowed the plum wine, and squinted at it.

"You're basking in the sun outside, won't you get heat stroke, why don't we go inside?" Bai Nishang raised her dark and soft eyes, and saw the scorching red sun in the sky, baking the whole land.

Grandma Li listened to Bai Nishang's words, and smiled with relief, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, I've been basking in the sun for decades~"

······

The two chattered for a long time, Bai Nishang saw that the sun was almost in the sky, and estimated that the time was noon, so she slowly got up, carefully stretched out her hand, and helped Grandma Li slowly into the house, "Grandma, you really don't go back to eat with me?" ”

"No, no, my old man should be coming back from the field, I'll burn wood for a while, he cooks, not so much exquisite, and besides, I'm used to his craft, and I'm still not used to eating outside." Grandma Li smiled kindly, and her face stretched out, as if it were a warm bright moon.

Although Grandma Li was old before Bai Nishang met, she was full of energy, and she estimated that her life on weekdays was excellent, and the way she was used to it was the most comfortable way for her, and she could maintain such a spirit in such a living environment.

Bai Nishang had a smile on her face, and her tone was soft, "Okay, then you can rest here, and my brother and I will come to see you another day." ”

"Well, you young people should be busy if you have something, don't care about me, a bad old woman, I'm really panicking, come to me again~" Grandma Li said in a loud voice.

Bai Nishang nodded, and walked out of the house with a slight movement, and as soon as she walked outside the door, she saw Xiaoqing with her hands clasped around her chest and a smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Bai Nishang patted Xiaoqing's shoulder, motioned for him to follow, and walked away first.

Xiaoqing quickly followed, and called out crisply in Bai Nishang's ear, "Brother? ”

“······ I just can't explain our relationship, this is a rural area, left and right, and the slightest rumor can spread. Bai Nishang didn't know why, she was a little uneasy when she saw Xiaoqing calling like this.

When I raised my eyes, I saw Xiaoqing's delicate face, very beautiful eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes, obviously there was a soft light flowing in those eyes, just like the warm sun in the sky, but faintly in the depths, I found a faint darkness.

It was a displeasing emotion, and it seemed to try to restrain itself.

"Oh? Sister? The corners of Xiaoqing's mouth hooked, and her eyes flashed.

"Let's go home first, then we will go home, and then we will go home." When Bai Nishang saw Xiaoqing like this, she immediately confessed, and her eyes looked around, for fear that others would see the interaction between the two of them.

"Cheng, go home." Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows and said.

Bai Nishang suddenly felt that going home was a very dangerous thing, and she slowly slowed down her pace, as if she was deliberately delaying time.

And Xiaoqing soon discovered that something was wrong with Bai Nishang, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Nishang's wrist, the warmth in his eyes disappeared, replaced by boundless coldness, "Sister, are you afraid of me?" ”

"No, no." Bai Nishang hurriedly denied it, and her head shook like a rattle.

Xiao Qing was very satisfied with Bai Nishang's performance, the boredom in his heart seemed to have been alleviated, and the faint gray on his body was a little darker.

However, he still did not loosen the grip on Bai Nishang, who was dragged back all the way.

As soon as the two arrived in the courtyard, Xiaoqing slammed the gate shut, and the gate trembled slightly and made a crackling sound because of the sudden force.

Xiaoqing directly put Bai Ni Yi against the door, her eyes were full of possessiveness, "Am I your brother?" Pretty sister? ”

“······” Bai Nishang looked at Xiaoqing, who was suddenly overwhelmed by her boyfriend's strength, her heart began to beat inexplicably, and a suspicious flush spread on her face, like the sunset on the sky.

Plop, plop.

Oh my God, she actually ate this set!

She actually likes the routine of a domineering president falling in love with me!

Bai Nishang used to like to read books, and everyone thought that the legal elite must read all kinds of law-related books, but Bai Nishang was not, because most of her time was spent at work, and her only pastime was naturally reading romance novels for half an hour every day to soothe her nerves.

Of course, she never expected to meet someone like those in the novel, she had already accepted her fate, married someone from a similar family, and lived a life where she could see the future at a glance.

However, everything in front of her was beyond her imagination.

Her stagnant heart began to beat, and she was a little overwhelmed and wanted to escape.

Bai Nishang's eyes began to dodge, not daring to look at Xiaoqing more.

And such a move naturally angered Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing stretched out his powerful palm, pinched Bai Nishang's chin, he slowly lowered his head, and approached Bai Nishang little by little.

Bai Nishang could even feel the chill on Xiaoqing's body.

It's so cold, but her heart is hot, along with her body.

"Sister, answer me." Xiaoqing finally stopped in front of a thin piece of paper, his lips moving slightly, and his eyes flashed with a dementor's light.

"I ······· Didn't I say that before? Bai Nishang always felt that she was a coward, and in the face of Xiaoqing's strong attitude, her whole person softened.

“······” This time, it was Xiaoqing's turn to be silent.

His eyes were firmly locked on Bai Nishang's face, and he could see her shyness, and he could see her little daughter-like posture.

His thoughts were complicated and his mind was numb.

He never thought that he, who had always claimed to be calm, and could even kill his sixth brother with his own hands without blinking an eye, would be in chaos at this moment.

If a person has a weakness, he is no longer indestructible.

Now that he is in this position, he is not allowed to have weaknesses, and if he continues like this, this woman in front of him ······

After a long time, Bai Nishang thought that Xiaoqing had turned into dead wood, and he finally moved.

Xiao Qing slowly closed those cold eyes, even a little bitter, Bai Nishang saw his chest rise and fall, as if trying his best to soothe his emotions.

Finally, he calmed down, and his eyes opened again, just like when she first saw Xiaoqing, "Well, I understand~"

After speaking, Xiaoqing loosened the shackles on Bai Nishang, and turned around and walked towards the wing room without hesitation, "Sister, I'm a little tired, go back and squint for a while." ”

Bai Nishang stared at Xiaoqing's back as she gradually moved away, she seemed to feel that this step by step, as if she was escaping from her side, widened the distance between them, obviously it was so close just now, but at this moment, there was a huge gap between them, and she couldn't cross it no matter what.

Bai Nishang lowered her eyes and looked at her boots, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Fate, that's it.

She never pushes it.

On the second day, Bai Nishang sat in the room tinkering with the corpse powder she brought from the back mountain last time, and was studying how to make it, now she already knows what most of the medicines are inside, only one or two strains she can't tell clearly, it is possible that those one or two strains are either very valuable, or they are very rare in time, and they are unknown.

Although the semi-finished products she has practiced now cannot play the role of turning corpses, they can make flowers and plants wither instantly, which is already a qualitative progress.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the wing room outside her door, and Bai Nishang didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Xiaoqing coming.

Yesterday they barely had much communication, after lunch, Bai Nishang asked Xiaoqing to quickly process the fruits and vegetables dug out of the ground, some of which were chopped up to make kimchi, pickles, and geldings, and some were directly used as vegetables for these days, and the rest were directly turned into nutrients and sprinkled in the fields.

After Xiaoqing finished it, he took the coarse linen clothes and went to the river to bathe, and when he returned, he was already dry and couldn't see the slightest water stain, and then he didn't even have dinner, so he went back to the room and went to bed.

On the one hand, Bai Nishang was annoyed that Xiaoqing seemed to deliberately distance the distance between the two, and on the other hand, she was relieved that Xiaoqing had finally grown up and could share most of the family's labor.

If she is allowed to deal with so many things by herself, I am afraid that she will be tired and tired, and she will not be able to do it as quickly as Xiaoqing.

"Come in." Bai Nishang hurriedly hid the corpse powder, and then disinfected it with alcohol before slowly speaking.

She is studying the corpse powder Xiaoqing still doesn't know, if she lets him know, I'm afraid that according to the current Xiaoqing's character, Xiaoqing will definitely destroy the corpse powder without saying a word, and she won't let her touch it.

The door of the "squeak" wing room was gently pushed open, and Xiaoqing's bright face appeared outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Bai Nishang held the teacup in one hand and drank it as if nothing happened, but there was still some dodging in her eyes.

This dodge didn't come from the fact that she was running away from Xiaoqing, but she was afraid that Xiaoqing would find out that she had just refined the corpse powder, a heart-wrenching medicinal powder.

But in Xiaoqing's view, this is exactly the first meaning.

Is she hiding from him?

Is he so scary?

Xiaoqing's heart sank.

"Bang." With a bang, Xiaoqing threw a cloth bag in his hand on the table.

Bai Nishang was a little puzzled, but she saw Xiaoqing motioning for her to open it, and she used her slender fingertips to untie the small cloth bag and pour the contents down.

I only heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang" pouring down, and Bai Nishang's eyes flashed with surprise.

Because lying peacefully in front of her were more than a dozen gold ingots of the same size, and the overflowing light lined the entire chamber even brighter.

"Where did the money come from?" Bai Nishang's fingers trembled, she knew the answer, but she still wanted to ask.

Just now she deliberately looked at the bottom of the gold ingot, which was not the same as the small box of ingots before, leaving a special mark.

This is an ordinary currency that can be used in circulation.

This money is enough for her to go to the town to set up a shop alone.
