Chapter 135: Accidents
That room was not so much an office as a private house.
Although from the outside, it looks like a small cottage with a rustic atmosphere, but the interior decoration and decoration are not bad at all, and it does not look tacky.
Perhaps it was this homely atmosphere that relaxed my mood, and I managed to squeeze out a smile and whispered, "Anyone?" β
The room was very quiet, and after about two or three minutes, a figure walked down impatiently, wasn't it the same clan member who received me and Shen Jingyun at the beginning?
I had thought of a polite word, but when he walked up to me with an impatient face, I knew that he just wanted to send me away quickly, and that polite words might still be felt by him verbosity, so I could only keep smiling, nodding, and not saying anything.
"You're the woman the clan arranged, aren't you? It's really troublesome, I'm practicing. The man frowned and said.
"I'm sorry for you." In this environment, people can only adapt hard.
He walked over to the table in the hall and unfolded a drawing with one hand that simply depicted the distribution of buildings in the village. He glanced at it, randomly pointed to a house on the lowest ground and told me, "You can live here." But remember, it's just a room on the first floor, and when the time comes, let the clansman in charge of this house arrange a room for you, and you can't go to the other rooms at will. β
"If you want to eat, you will be rationed according to the level of the restaurant, and it will be three meals a day. This is a special case like today, and it will be remembered in the future. β
"Also, this place in the village, here, here... Anyway, you can't go to these places, and if you go out of the village, you have to report it. But I advise you not to go out of the village, it will cause us trouble, after all, this time the promised thing is to let you not die in any accident. β
"Andβ" The language of the people was cold, and in many cases it was quite hurtful.
But I still listened patiently, I think he may not mean it, in an indifferent village, he can arrange me like this, it is already the greatest kindness to me, right?
It's just that there are a lot of rules in this village, and I tried to remember them, but while he was talking, a string of mobile phone ringtones interrupted him.
He picked up the phone with such an impatient face, but when he saw the number, he became solemn again, he waved me to wait here, and then wandered to another place and picked up the phone.
He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and in a room, he could hear his "uh-huh" voice from time to time, as if he was being ordered by someone, but he didn't hear what he said specifically.
If Shen Jingyun answered the phone next to me, I couldn't help but want to listen. But listening to someone on the phone is not so polite, so I tried to divert my attention and looked out the window.
Outside the window, there is a rice field with bright water, winter is not the season for sowing, so these paddy fields are still empty, lazily reflecting the sun, and under the reflection of the distant mountains, it is extraordinarily beautiful.
The air is also very fresh, and every inhalation makes you feel fresh from your lungs to your whole body. It's obviously a good place, and I want to be more relaxed, but if Shen Jingyun can be here...
Looking out the window, I unconsciously thought about my own thoughts, and it wasn't until the impatient cough of the tribesman interrupted me that I suddenly came back to my senses.
"By the way, your place of residence has been temporarily changed, you can live here." The man didn't give me half an explanation, but suddenly pointed to another house near the ancestral hall, which was relatively high in the whole village.
"Huh?" I was a little stunned, but I was just amazed at why I suddenly changed my mind and let me live somewhere else.
But the tribesman said to me a little angrily, "Why, you are still not satisfied? The more houses above, the more you have to be able to live in them, and there are many benefits. Anyway, you're not a cultivator, so it's useless for me to talk to you more! In short, don't overdo it, it's a blessing for you to live in. β
"Okay." I nodded, in fact, there was no room for resistance, it was not easy to be taken in, and I would not forget that Shen Jingyun worked hard to win it for me.
"I told you some rules just now, but I don't think you can remember them. When the time comes, go and ask who you need to serve. Seeing that I had no clear objections, the people's faces finally softened a little, but they never smiled at me.
"Waiter?" This time I was truly shocked, who am I going to serve in the village? Why didn't Shen Jingyun mention such a thing to me from beginning to end.
In response to my reaction, the clansman sneered and said, "Is it new to serve people?" In particular, cultivators are busy, and it takes a lot of time to meditate and practice every day, so who doesn't need some maid and boy or something like that? Besides, what qualifications do you think you have to eat and drink next to my Shen family? Here, even if you are a cultivator, you have to do things before you reach a certain level. β
"Am I a maid?" If I could, I would really like to do other things, even if it was a little harder and a little tired. But as a person who has experienced modern education, I am really not interested in Yahuan's identity.
"If you don't want to leave, this is not the place for you to pick and choose. Besides, being able to become a cultivator is something that others can't ask for, and a little reward at will makes ordinary people very useful, so what else do you want? Do you want me to send you to farm? That kind of thing is not an ordinary thing, it is not good, and if you die, can you afford to pay for it? Seeing that my attitude was a little resistant, a series of words came out of the man's mouth, in short, I didn't know what to do.
yes, it's all already under the fence, what more self-esteem do I need? I tried to keep smiling, not letting negative thoughts take over my mind and affect my mood.
Besides, being a waiter in a nightclub is almost the nature of a girl, and the cultivator shouldn't be nothing compared to those nightclub customers, right? Although the arrogance is difficult to touch some.
Thinking like this, I was in a much better mood, and when the tribesman saw that I no longer objected, he finally did not keep a straight face, but made me remember the location of the place where I lived, and then threw down the next sentence, "Everything to ask your master", and impatiently motioned that I could leave and not disturb his practice.
Before this, Shen Jingyun got off the bus with some of my luggage and temporarily deposited it with this clansman.
I originally wanted to ask about my luggage, but I turned my head and accidentally found that it was casually thrown in the hallway, I sniffed and walked over, lifted my luggage, anyway, let's stay first, stabilize and talk.
I think that if I get used to it, I will go by very quickly.
Moreover, I really don't have a reason to eat and drink for nothing, and it is natural to do things, maybe a place that doesn't talk about human feelings and only talks about rules will make people feel better.
Thinking about it, I carried my luggage, pushed the door open, and walked out of the house.
When I walked out of the door of the room, I was in a trance, there was always an illusion of Shen Jingyun waiting at the door, it may be two months of intimate life, I have become accustomed to his existence.
The sunlight outside the door was a little dazzling, and I whispered to myself: "Lin Xiaoshuang, come on!" I tried my best to smile and keep a good mood and walk towards where I lived.
Walking up the avenue, there were still a lot of people in the village, at least I had seen that the people who were playing in the village were still there, and there seemed to be a few more people.
It's just a careful sense, among them, there are not many people who really belong to this village, and they should all be busy cultivating.
I watched the children playing, chattering happily on the equipment that belonged to the children, and I thought that the happiness of children is so simple, and as an adult, I really shouldn't be greedy more, but more and more unhappy.
Walking like this, thinking, I suddenly heard Shen Jingyun calling my name behind me.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself, could it be that too many thoughts have caused auditory hallucinations? I shook my head, didn't want to care, and kept going, but I listened to the sound getting louder and louder!
It's not an illusion, it's really Shen Jingyun.
I've always been strong, and I want to try to stay strong, but I finally couldn't help the hot pain in my eyes, stopped, and took a long deep breath before I turned my head sharply with a smile.
In the sight, the tall figure is so conspicuous among the people coming and going, at this moment he is hurrying towards me, looking at me with a smile, he can't help but smile, maybe he feels a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and lowered his head, and subconsciously scratched the back of his head.
It is rare for Shen Da Shao to be so childish, and my mood has really become much more cheerful.
Soon, he walked in front of me, I stood in this position just in time to see his car parked at the entrance of the village, just now he was clearly comforting me, he left without looking back, why is he back now?
"You..."
"You..."
Shen Jingyun and I called each other almost at the same time, and found that it was simply impossible to speak, and laughed again.
I asked Shen Jingyun to speak first, but he opened his mouth and said, "I just drove on the road and found that I couldn't find my wallet, is it with you?" β
Is that what this is what I came back for? I felt a little disappointed, but I still said, "If you didn't have your wallet in your own chair and you sat down, then it should be in your left trouser pocket." β
He thought about it, and then touched his left trouser pocket, and there was indeed a wallet in it.
"Oh, come to think of it, I can't find my sunglasses anymore, I drive without that, sometimes I get my eyes fluttering." Shen Jingyun's expression was a little embarrassed.
"The sunglasses are thereβ" I patiently replied to him.
The next conversation was really boring, he seemed to have dropped seven or eight things, and he asked me something. As if without me, he couldn't even find his own things anywhere.
I don't know where I got the patience to show him where he might be in one by one.
Shen Jingyun couldn't think of anything anymore, and there was silence between us again.
Suddenly, Shen Jingyun flicked his hair a few times anxiously, looked at me and said, "Lin Xiaoshuang, I miss you, I miss you as soon as the car leaves the highway." β
