Chapter 92: Affection
Lin Xiaozhu had the pill in his mouth, and happily returned to the courtyard where he lived with full hope, and after seizing the time to wash, he hurriedly lay down and began to practice. In the past few days, she has practiced qi whenever she has time, and she can always feel the existence of the air flow in the dantian. But maybe it's because the practice is a matter of accumulation, or maybe it's because of her physique, since that day, she hasn't been able to make that air flow bigger and open up the acupuncture points. With this pill today, maybe it can make some changes in that air flow.
Sure enough, the effect of this pill was very powerful, greatly stimulating the functions of her body, and the slowly and continuously qi sensation poured in from the top of her head in her mind, slowly converging into a large air current, flowing in her body with her thoughts.
Lin Xiaozhu was overjoyed. But this time, she didn't rush to rush through the acupuncture points. Instead, he kept his mind and kept collecting, hoping to make this air flow gather a little stronger. In her opinion, as long as the airflow becomes thicker and larger while the effect of the medicine is taken, it will not be a problem at all. What she didn't know was that although there was no one to guide her, the strategy she had adopted was extremely correct. This saved her from many detours. With the assistance of Yuan Tianye's prescription for her and Zhang Dong's daily decoction, her physical fitness has changed qualitatively in a short period of time.
When carrying water the next morning, Lin Xiaozhu once again felt a significant increase in his strength. After she found something in the yard to try, she had a bottom in her heart, believing that even if there was no third pill, she would have no problem in the exam in more than twenty days.
However, when Su Xiaoshu, Zhou Yuchun and the others returned to the dormitory, the expression on her face was as usual, and she didn't intend to tell Su Xiaoshu about the changes in her body. Although Su Xiaoshu took care of her as a sister. And often looked at her worriedly when she was spinning the spoon, obviously worried that she would be difficult to pass the exam. But even putting aside her suspicions about Su Xiaoshu's identity, she decided to hide the practice as a secret.
This is the kung fu that the old man passed on to her. Although when the old man passed it on to her, he didn't expect her to have any effect, but only slightly improved her physique. But now there is an unexpected bonus. She believes that as long as she persists, practices diligently, and steals some of the fist and foot kung fu that Su Xiaoshu and the others have learned, she may be able to gain the ability to protect herself in two years. This ability. Naturally, it is hidden from the good of everyone in this villa. Even if the progress is rapid in the past two years, it is not as strong as Yuan Jiu and the others. So it can only be surprisingly victorious. Unexpectedly play a hole card that can save her life when it matters most, or set her free.
After breakfast as usual, the three of them arrived at the cooking class. only to find that Xia Shan was already there. In the early winter season, the weather is already relatively cold, and the villa has already issued cotton jackets to everyone. And at this time in the summer mountains. He was holding a spoon in his hand, but he was wearing only a single coat, and there was hot sweat on his forehead.
"Summerhill, why are you here so early? Meals are eaten too quickly. It is easy to hurt the body. When Su Xiaoshu entered the door, he left Lin Xiaozhu and Zhou Yuchun. Take a few quick steps and walk to Xia Shan's side, slightly reproachful.
Xia Shan paused slightly, glanced at Su Xiaoshu, turned his head, still focused on his spoon, and did not speak.
Su Xiaoshu was not angry at all, glanced at Xia Shan softly, picked up the padded jacket he put aside, and patted the dust on it.
Lin Xiaozhu, who has a full view of all this. The footsteps stopped abruptly.
"Let's go, while Yu Jiaoxi is not here, the two of us will have a competition." Zhou Yuchun pulled her.
"Oh. Good. Lin Xiaozhu followed her to the side and picked up the iron pot. I feel the weight in my hand and do not feel heavy. She was happy for a while, and after getting familiar with her newly added strength and hiding some of it appropriately, she set her eyes on Su Xiaoshu again.
Su Xiaoshu has always been by her side, like a sister, caring about her life. Maybe she is used to this role, and after entering the cooking class, she often reveals this motherhood to the rest of the group. So when she spoke to Xia Shan like that just now, Zhou Yuchun didn't feel strange. But Lin Xiaozhu, with her life experience of more than 20 years in her previous life, felt that Su Xiaoshu's concern for Xia Shan was not like the kind of care between classmates and friends. Maybe even Su Xiaoshu herself didn't find that special, otherwise she wouldn't have done it so obviously just now.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaozhu was a little worried. She finally knew why there were no girls in the previous cooking class. In addition to being small in strength and not suitable for learning to cook, young boys and girls are prone to accidents when they get along for a long time. If her conjecture was correct, Yuan Tianye would send them to some places to carry out missions in the future. So once they succeed in learning art, it is very likely that these students in the class will suddenly have one less person. Where this person will be sent and what orders to execute, except for Yuan Tianye, it is estimated that no one knows.
And the person who was sent out will definitely be like what they did when they entered the villa, and they will wake up and find themselves in a strange place. And physically, Yuan Tianye, who is proficient in medical skills, will also be controlled by some methods, and his parents and relatives will also be used by Yuan Tianye to threaten. Even if he wanted to connect with his classmates, he wouldn't be able to do itβthe villa had no name, and he didn't know where it was located. Although the surname of Gongzi can be guessed through the names of Yuan Jiu and Yuan Shi, it is not clear what Gongzi's name is. Even if Lin Xiaozhu heard Tang Gongzi call Gongzi "Tianye" in a trance under special circumstances, she believed that Gongzi must not use this name outside. And Yuan and Tang are both big surnames in the Northern Yan Kingdom, if you want to check a person with such a surname, in the era of information blockage, in the case of being controlled, how difficult it is.
Therefore, as long as they are assigned tasks, these people will disappear directly from each other's lives like fog, and may never have the opportunity to meet again. Then, the unswerving love between men and women can only increase the sadness. Besides, the generation of this kind of emotion has added uncontrollable variables to Yuan Tianye's arrangement, and if he is shrewd, will he let him go freely? Even if he doesn't interfere, it's just an extra coercive bargaining chip for him - the life and death of his beloved is in his hands, and he orders, do you dare to disobey?
Thinking about this, Lin Xiaozhu looked at Su Xiaoshu's eyes, full of worry. However, she couldn't analyze these words for Su Xiaoshu. Although Su Xiaoshu is very good to her, which is more important than her loyalty to Yuan Tianye? can see through the master's layout at a glance, such a subordinate probably won't live long, right?
She sighed and shouted to Su Xiaoshu, who was standing next to Xia Shan, "Xiaoshu, come and help us count." All she could do now was to try to take Su Xiaoshu's gaze away from Xia Shan.
"Wait." Su Xiaoshu did not cooperate. Seeing Xia Shan sweating profusely and putting down the pot, he hurriedly handed over his handkerchief.
"Lin Xiaozhu, hold on." Zhou Yuchun, who was unaware of everything, cheered Lin Xiaozhu up. The number of times this spoon is about to reach Lin Xiaozhu's limit.
Retracting his attention and feeling that his arm showed no signs of exhaustion, Lin Xiaozhu was very happy. But she tossed twice more to break her record, then put down the iron pot, shook her arm, and shouted, "I can't do it." β
Xia Shan over there rejected Su Xiaoshu's handkerchief, walked over, looked at Lin Xiaozhu, who was cheerful although he was shouting that he couldn't do it, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Don't worry, take your time." β
Xia Shan usually cherishes words like gold. But recently, in the face of Lin Xiaozhu, or things involving Lin Xiaozhu, he is not clumsy, and is developing more and more to the level of a normal person.
"Brother Xia Shan, why are you working so hard? Your spoon is not a problem at all. I see that you not only have enough strength, but also use the method very well, and you don't have to worry about the exam in 20 days. Lin Xiaozhu said to Xia Shan, but his eyes would secretly look at Su Xiaoshu. Seeing that Su Xiaoshu's gaze was still on Xia Shan, he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
Xia Shan looked at Lin Xiaozhu, and there was something indescribable in his eyes. He was silent for a while, glanced at Su Xiaoshu beside him, and then said in a low voice: "I can't, it's too far behind you." β
Lin Xiaozhu smiled dumbly: "But you are obviously much stronger than me, you are working so hard, do you want to make me farther and farther behind?" "Her existence has put pressure on many boys who think they are excellent, right? Alas, it is so motivating, shouldn't Yuan Tianye reward her with another pill?
Xia Shan glanced at her, but stopped talking. He believes that many things, needless to say, Lin Xiaozhu also understands.
"Xia Shan is not bad in terms of ingredients and knife skills, and his grades are better in the spoon, and he is not worse than Lin Xiaozhu in general." Su Xiaoshu said with a smile on the side. not only said unexplained words for Xia Shan, but also comforted Xia Shan, who had some inferiority complex.
"Su Xiaoshu is so right." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile, carefully observing Xia Shan's expression. If Xia Shan also had an interest in Su Xiaoshu, as soon as Su Xiaoshu's words came out, he would inevitably give her a look full of tenderness.
Xia Shan heard Su Xiaoshu's words, as if he hadn't heard it, and didn't look at her with his eyes. Only turned his face sideways and bowed his head slightly, which was regarded as an explanation of politeness, turned around and walked to the side of the desk, and practiced knife skills.
Xia Shan has always had such a temperament, Su Xiaoshu didn't seem to care, he walked to the desk and cut the radish himself.
Lin Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. I've been with Xia Shan for a while, and I don't know his personality completely, but it's almost the same. Because Xia Shan is from the same village as her, he treats her completely differently from others when it comes to intimacy. If he had Su Xiaoshu in his heart, he would never have the attitude he has now.
It's just that Su Xiaoshu is willing. If Xia Shan ignores her, maybe the relationship won't develop. Boys are always emotionally dull than girls, and perhaps, this matter will be yellow without her worrying.
(That chapter was fixed in the morning.) Another: I am not feeling well, and I have been running to the hospital for the past two days. If it can't be supported tonight, tomorrow morning's update will be later, forgive me. Thank you Xiao Li Lerong and Fayuan Zhulin for the peace charm, thank you for the charcoal hills, "Moon γ Moon", spring dawn by the river, and the pink ticket of the lonely soul night shadow! οΌ
