Chapter 141: On the Eve of the Big Shot
Shen Xiaohe is gone, the little figure is still so thin, if you don't look carefully, you can't imagine that this is a child who is almost 6 years old.
If you are in the world of ordinary people, you will think that he is similar to a four-year-old child.
I ate slowly, not wanting to leave this corner too quickly, although this was just a place where the Shen family's subordinates gathered, there was no such indifferent and condescending atmosphere here, and no one was targeting me.
There is even a hint of the life in the ordinary world, and in this village, I am very nostalgic for this place.
Unfortunately, there is always a fixed time for lunch at noon.
And Shen Xinglin and Aunt Shen Liu were afraid that I would be idle, so they didn't mention what I needed to do in the afternoon, and arranged new tasks for me, which always had to be done in time.
After I hurriedly returned to the house, I was surprised that I didn't see Aunt Shen Liu, only Shen Xinglin was sitting in a daze in the large living room of the house.
I looked at her, she looked hesitant and hesitant, and her expression changed very richly.
For a while, he looked reluctant, as if he was a little sad, and for a while he looked happy and slightly shy.
Normally, when she sees me, she always looks at me coldly, but when I entered the house today, she didn't seem to see it, until I greeted her, and she just fell into her own world and waved at me.
I was amazed, she didn't make things difficult, didn't she rack her brains to think of trivial things for me to do?
I still remember the day before, she also instructed me to wash the socks and shoes that I had washed in the future, and I was afraid that it would not be easy for me to be idle to this point.
Today, the sun is coming out in the west, but I don't dare to be curious, looking at her demeanor, I am slightly worried, is she crazy? I had to quietly retreat.
Fortunately, Aunt Shen Liu stepped into the house at this time, and before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "Xinglin, Xinglin, completely inquire clearly!" ”
Her voice was full of joy, like a poor man who suddenly picked up ten thousand dollars, and I couldn't help but look back at her, but she habitually glared at me.
I hurriedly retreated to the hut, but her exaggerated voice sounded in my ears: "This time it is confirmed, it is really great news, this time you must seize the opportunity!" I'm worrying about it, don't say anything else, who else is qualified here except our apricot forest? ”
"Aunt Shen Liu, don't sell it, let's talk about it, are you really sure it's the young master?" Shen Xinglin's voice was rarely coquettish.
By this time, I had closed the door to my cabin, and their voices were no longer audible.
I intuitively felt that Shen Xinglin's strange state might be related to what Xiaohe told me about the busy things in the village, but I didn't care, but secretly felt a little happy, if there was really something to divert Shen Xinglin's attention from me, it would be a good thing.
**********
The days were quiet, and another three days passed.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I came to this village next to the Shen family. But I'm thankful for these three days, almost the most comfortable three days I've ever been in this village.
Aunt Shen Liu will never trouble me for anything again, and even the daily hygiene will be checked so-so.
As for Shen Xinglin, he simply disappeared in my eyes, and he didn't even appear for breakfast every day, and I didn't know what he was busy with, I probably heard Aunt Shen's tone, she went to the fifteenth elder.
In the village, the fifteenth elder is Shen Xinglin's grandmother, and this matter is not a secret.
Otherwise, even if Shen Xinglin was a genius, he would not have received such a status in the clan, comparable to the treatment of an elder. Thinking about it, this is also how it should be, although the Shen side line does not value blood and talent, but there is a child with excellent talent among the descendants of his in-laws, which is naturally different.
Zhao Fu is absolute, plus the fifteen elders are already a domineering, unreasonable, and extremely selfish person.
These are not my imaginations, but at lunchtime, in that corner, I heard people talking about the gossip that the master had received, and every time I talked about her, I always heard such comments, and some people would say that it was a very scary thing to serve her.
How "scary" can it be? I don't think it will surpass Shen Xinglin. It's a little harsh to think about, but as long as it's not deliberately targeted, it's always better.
In short, no matter what others say about the fifteenth elder, my impression of her is only that of an old lady who deliberately makes things difficult for Shen Jingyun.
Now, I don't want to think about it so much, I just think that if Shen Xinglin can go to the Fifteenth Elder for a while longer, thank God.
Due to the quiet days of these days, I still have time to walk around the village.
But it seems that only I will be so idle, but the people in the village have been very busy in the past few days, at least when I came out, all I saw were people in a hurry.
And those masters of the Shen family's side lineage, who hardly leave the house on weekdays and are dedicated to cultivation, will also go out of the village and talk to each other mysteriously, and it is rare not to make a high-minded appearance to their subordinates or ordinary people, but to talk about it, sometimes revealing yearning.
Originally, I was not curious about that big man, but in such an atmosphere, I was a little curious, who was the divine who wanted to come to this village?
"Xiaohe, here you go." I've always had some snacks in my suitcase, which I said was dry food on the road, and some biscuits and stuff around me.
Once, when I was hungry, I was reluctant to eat a few pieces easily.
Because I'm afraid that the time of starvation will last for a long time, and in the end, what if I have to rely on these things to save my life?
However, I was willing to give Xiaohe this child, and when Aunt Shen Liu's supervision was not so strict, I had the opportunity to bring out a bag of biscuits.
"What is this?" Xiaohe took the bag curiously, this fresh packaging had a great attraction to him, but he didn't know that it was a biscuit, just a simple snack in the eyes of ordinary children.
I felt a little sour in my heart, took the biscuit, opened the bag for him, and then took a slice and put it in his mouth.
At first, Xiaohe was a little afraid to swallow, but with my encouragement, he chewed it twice, and then, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he took the biscuit and ate three or four pieces in one go before stopping.
"It's delicious, better than meat. Sister Xiaoshuang, how can you have such good things? Xiaohe's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't forget to hand me the biscuits in his hand and let me eat two pieces too.
I pushed it to him with a smile and said, "My sister used to eat a lot, you have to like it, my sister is idle these days, as long as you are free, you are waiting for me here, and I will give it to you." ”
"Really?" Xiaohe is a child in the end, and a simple bag of biscuits can make him jump happily.
I nodded, put my arms around him, and thought sadly, what is so good about this kind of cultivator family that is high above ordinary people? Is it worth it for parents to come to this kind of place with their children at all costs? If my child came to such a place to live such a life, even if I told me that he would become a god if he went, I would oppose it.
After all, all I ask is that I want the child to live a simple and happy life.
"Xiaohe, didn't Mom and Dad buy this for you?"
"No, I've never been out of the village, so it's definitely something good outside the village, right? My father said that I was out of the village before I was a year old, but I can't even remember what happened before I was a year old. Moreover, my parents said that if I can't practice in the future, I should save money for my education. "The child doesn't speak very logically, but mutters a string of things, but the content is embarrassing.
It's always like this here, and being able to work is a great thing. As for giving or not giving money? The cultivators here don't have much of a concept, and if they are happy, they may reward two of them and live on such reward money. If you really want to leave a way back for your child, how dare you spend a penny?
The time with Xiaohe was very happy, but this happiness was soon interrupted by Aunt Shen Liu.
At this moment, a subordinate asked me to go back quickly with a panicked face, Aunt Shen Liu was looking for me all over the village.
As soon as I heard this, where did I dare to delay, I hurriedly ran towards Shen Xinglin's house, secretly blaming myself for letting my guard down, how could Aunt Shen Liu catch this handle, and how would she clean me up?
On the way back, I met Aunt Shen Liu.
Unexpectedly, she just yelled a few words viciously, and took me back to the house without making me too difficult.
I thought that the bigger storm was after this, but I didn't want to go back to the house, but she took me directly to the backyard: "Where do you go all day long, even if you steal men, I can't care about you." But if you dare to mistake the matter of the apricot forest and lose the face of the apricot forest, you don't think that the rules in the village are fake! Here, even if it kills you, as long as you follow the rules, no one dares to say anything! ”
The words are vicious, but I'm used to it.
Aunt Shen Liu took out a cloth bag for me while she was talking, and said, "These are Xinglin's monthly medicinal materials for this month, hurry up and deal with them!" Don't make a mistake, if you lose it, it's worth more than your life. ”
I agreed, took the pocket in Aunt Shen Liu's hand, and began to handle the medicinal herbs silently and carefully.
Aunt Shen looked at me a few times, and then walked out of the backyard like this.
Isn't it too easy? I let out a long breath... I always feel uneasy, and I even feel that today, Aunt Shen Liu's eyes are not as fierce as before.
Again, I thought I had impressed them, but did I think it would be so easy? I could only think that maybe it was some big man who was going to come to the village, which made Shen Xinglin and Aunt Shen Liu completely divert their attention.
This time, there are not many medicinal materials in the month, in fact, Shen Xinglin can't use up his medicinal materials every month, and the general way to deal with it is to wash and dehydrate and store.
This kind of thing, I will be completely done in less than two days, and the rest is to count other medicinal materials at any time, and the cleaning is more trivial.
And it was in the afternoon after these two days that the village became lively and began to change completely.
