Chapter 50: The Return I

It's been almost three months, and when I think of this sensitive time, my originally calm heart has waves.

I've lived a very fulfilling life these days, but don't I miss Shen Jingyun? Actually, in the dead of night, I also think of him with some worries. But it seems to be a habit, I always trust inexplicably, no matter how big the difficulty, he will always deal with it, and then appear in front of me at the appointed time.

However, this habit of numbing oneself and reassuring oneself is only useful when you don't think about the time. It's been almost three months now, and the effect of this habit has begun to get weaker and weaker, especially the sense of time passing brought about by the change of seasons outside the window, reminding me that Shen Jingyun's return date is approaching, and I will become more and more cranky.

Will he be stressed, will he be dangerous? Was he injured? Or even ......

I know that this kind of cranky thinking does not help in reality, but the mind is like an unstoppable wave, and the more I want to be calm, the more it will sway.

"April in this world, but it's the best season, look, see if the wild vegetables I picked on this mountain are fresh?" I was upset in front of the window, but Zuo Qiu's slightly muttering voice appeared in the courtyard.

I was interrupted in a trance, barely squeezed out a smile, and hurried out. I saw Zuo Qiu exaggeratedly wrapped a flower cloth on his head, holding a basket, wearing a short cheongsam, with some mud on his feet, his face was red, the tip of his nose was slightly sweaty, and he shouted happily in the courtyard.

"Isn't it just going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables? You're still wrapping your head. "I want to tease Zuo Qiu with a few words to relieve the boredom in my heart.

Zuo Qiu rolled his eyes, and said unconvinced: "People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and they must always have a neat appearance when they want to work, don't you know, even if the mountain wind is strong in this April day, my hairstyle can't be messed up." Besides, in these days, do you think it was still a thousand years ago, a hundred years ago, and wild vegetables could be seen everywhere? Some of the good-tasting wild vegetables are hard to find, you see it makes me tired. ”

As he spoke, he casually handed the basket to my arms, and I looked down to see that there were pleasant green wild plants that I didn't recognize, and some wild mushrooms.

Zuo Qiudong picked up one and said to me what this is and what it is, I have something on my mind, and I was dizzy when I listened to it, and I didn't remember it anyway. In the end, I saw him clapping his hands happily and said: "This shepherd's cabbage is the best, today we have to make a meal of shepherd's cabbage dumplings to eat." Xiaoshuang girl, come over and help, you have to be the chef of this dumpling today. ”

I agreed, it's better to be a little busy than to be cranky here.

Grandpa doesn't know where he went today, I can't tell my grandfather this heart, I found that grandpa is essentially a gossip and poisonous old man, as soon as I say it, he will most likely sigh about our little children or something, he is an old man or something. No matter what it is, I suspect he'll always make up a story of lingering compassion and grievances.

I think if my grandfather had an interest in writing books back then, there should be a male Qiong Yao in this world, and he would shoot a "Rain Deep Love and Cuteness" or something.

I thought all the way, followed Zuo Qiu to his special kitchen, and began to wash vegetables, chop meat, and do some trivial things in some confusion.

I thought that once I had something to do, I would become at ease, but I didn't expect that I still had difficulty concentrating, and I picked vegetables in a mess, clearly pork dumplings, but I took a piece of beef and chopped it unconsciously.

All this was seen by Zuo Qiu, he pursed his mouth and didn't speak, just rubbed his noodles beside him, suddenly stopped, also glanced out the window, and said leisurely: "This weather is good, the sun is shining every day, and people are about to forget their troubles." But if this summer comes, where will there be a few thunderstorms? ”

Zuo Qiu's words have always been like this, it seems to be unintentional, and it seems to be alluding.

Thunderstorm? I suddenly remembered the stormy day, and the uneasiness in my heart was even worse, the knife in my hand almost chopped my fingers, I panicked, quickly let go of the handle, "clang", the knife fell to the ground.

This frightened me and jumped to the side, otherwise the back of the knife would hit my foot.

"Oh, what are you doing, girl? Anyway, you're also a cultivator, how can you do things so stupidly, and you don't have any cleverness at all? Zuo Qiu suddenly turned his head and pointed at me exaggeratedly.

I didn't know what to say, so I silently picked up the knife, only to find that the pile of minced meat on the board was minced beef, and I didn't know what to say.

Zuo Qiu didn't plan to let me go, and continued: "This shepherd's cabbage is the most tender, and what you eat is tender and smooth, this with beef, doesn't it look dry and hard?" You still learn diet therapy from me, and you don't even know the most basic dish combinations? ”

"I'm going to eat beef." I can only find an excuse that is too bad to be any worse.

Zuo Qiu walked up to me, with a gossipy look on his face, and said, "You girl, are you stupid, or do you want to eat beef, or is this heart, you are starting to remember someone?" ”

"Who can I remember? Whether it's the south wind or my grandfather, aren't they all by my side? Recently, I added one more of you, isn't this also in my ear? I joked casually, in fact, I was hiding my mind in a panic.

Shen Jingyun and I are all in the eyes of Zuo Qiu, since they have been broken, how can I be embarrassed to say that I remember Shen Jingyun?

Zuo Qiu rolled his eyes and said, "But what moved me, it turns out that I am so important in your heart." It's a pity, no matter how important it is, it can't compare to your sweetheart, right? ”

was told through my heart, I even turned my ears red, so I simply turned my head and ignored Zuo Qiu.

Zuo Qiu nodded my head and said meaningfully: "You can make more dumplings today, I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat by then." ”

"Not enough to eat? How much is that? I asked stupidly.

"Anyway, you just stay in the kitchen today and make dumplings well, you always want eight hundred of them." Zuo Qiu said exaggeratedly.

One thousand eight hundred? Feed the pigs? I knew that Zuo Qiu was exaggerating, so I didn't say anything more, moved the beef filling on the board aside, re-selected a piece of fat and thin pork and began to clean it, only the stuffing made of pork with a little fat was smooth and oily.

However, after Zuo Qiu's gag, I was in a much better mood, so I accompanied Zuo Qiu to get busy in the kitchen.

Time always passes, and in a blink of an eye, a morning is about to pass, and when it is almost noon, grandpa's voice sounded outside the kitchen: "It's noon!" What about the people who cook? Zuo Qiu didn't see it, and Xiaoshuang didn't know where she had gone, so she didn't cultivate? ”

I popped out of the kitchen and called out to my grandfather, who saw me, didn't know what he smelled, twitched his nose, and ran into the kitchen like a hound.

"Oh, what's so fragrant? Tsk, is this a dumpling with pork stuffing or chaos? This aroma, I had the best bite when I was a child, hurry up and cook two for me. Grandpa shouted exaggeratedly, staring at my half-finished pot of stuffing and sniffing exaggeratedly, and swallowing his saliva.

"Fifth Master Lin, this can't be done, Xiaoshuang hasn't mixed this stuffing yet, and I haven't rolled the skin yet. You can deal with it casually at noon, in my place, even if it is a dumpling, it has to be a top-notch dumpling, but you can't be sloppy. Zuo Qiu rejected his grandfather in one bite.

At this time, I was also curious: "Grandpa, where have you been this morning?" Why don't you see a figure? Zuo Qiu and I spent the morning in the kitchen, and you don't care? ”

Grandpa's attention was originally all on my pot of stuffing, and he was still muttering, "Xiaoshuang also has this skill", but when I asked, he reacted, took out a stack of blue rune paper from his arms, and raised it in front of me: "What else can I be busy with?" I guess you're about to go to participate in Shen Jingyun's action, and I, an old man, can't be by your side in person for some reasons, even if there is Helian Cheng and the mushroom girl, I'm not at ease. Isn't this asking Lao Zheng to prepare something for you? ”

As he spoke, Grandpa stretched his waist, put away the stack of rune papers, and then said, "But I'm tired to death, I'm getting old, and getting these runes almost drained me." ”

I was very moved in my heart, the tiredness between my grandfather's eyebrows and eyes was not pretended, and I was just about to say something, but my grandfather patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoshuang girl, although you are still weak now, you are still a cultivator." Grandpa doesn't worry about you, you have to give me a glorious and safe return. ”

I smiled and said, "This Shen Jingyun hasn't come back yet, grandpa, what you said is like I'm going to leave tomorrow." ”

Grandpa didn't speak, he smiled, lovingly helped me tidy up my hair, which was a little messy because of busyness, and then said, "If you have a day off today, you can follow Zuo Qiu in the kitchen, I don't care." If I don't see the dumplings at night, then I'm going to lose my temper. ”

After saying this, Grandpa turned around and left.

Zuo Qiu exaggeratedly shouted, "Xiaoshuang, aren't you hurrying up?" Just like your grandfather, one person is afraid that he will have to eat a thousand children and eight hundred. ”

Under Zuo Qiu's urging, he and I began to get busy again, but we didn't feel too tired. Maybe it's because of his physical strength, maybe it's joking with Zuo Qiu, and he didn't notice it when he was busy, so he and Zuo Qiu made some noodles in the kitchen at noon and ate them.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the cute dumplings had been formed under Zuo Qiu and me, neatly arranged with big bellies, and the hearts of those who watched were delighted.

It's just that I'm a little annoyed, why is Zuo Qiu's hand so coincidental? I saw his fingers flying, and a dumpling was quickly formed, and the wrapping was good-looking, like a white fat doll. Look at me again, not to mention that the speed is slower than Zuo Qiu, and the bag is not as good-looking as him, how can he be so clever with a man's hands?

Just when I was annoyed, I felt a gust of wind at the kitchen door, and I was about to turn my head to look, when a pair of arms hugged me tightly from behind, and exaggerated shouted in my ear: "Cousin! ”

I was startled, and the dumplings in my hand were almost kneaded into rice balls, but my mouth complained: "Wei mushrooms, can you not be surprised?" ”

"I'm not back, I'm missing you." Only in front of me, Wei Mushroom will be a little eccentric and lively, and she is a sluggish image of a sharp-tongued otaku on weekdays.

"Yes, yes, you're happy." In fact, I was also a little happy in my heart, but Wei Mushroom's next sentence surprised me a little.

"Helian Silly is back! With me. ”

How did Helian Cheng come back? I didn't tell him that the operation was about to start, did I?
