Because of Helian Guang's silence, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Whether it is Helian Cheng, or Helian Guang and the patriarch, they are all waiting for an answer from me.

Looking at Helian Cheng's appearance, if I say something sad and refuse to let go, maybe he will beat the patriarch and Helian Guang again.

But I don't want that to happen. Since something has already happened, it is certainly angry to beat someone, but it is not interesting to beat too much, besides, this will also make Helian Cheng embarrassed.

Besides, I'm not sure how long Helian Cheng will stay here, but I'm going to wait here for Shen Jingyun all the time. Then I'm destined to stay in this village again, and I don't want things to get too stiff.

Besides, just looking at Helian Guang and the patriarch's faces, you know that they were beaten not lightly, the corners of their eyes and mouths are full of bruises, and there are blood stains on the side of their noses, Helian Cheng is really ruthless.

Out of all sorts of considerations, I just said, "Forget it, it's over, so don't worry about it." I don't want to worry about it anymore, it's too tiring to worry about it. ”

Hearing this, Helian Guang and the patriarch were relieved, but Helian Cheng said: "Since Xiaoshuang doesn't want to deal with you anymore, then I will respect Xiaoshuang's thoughts and no longer pursue it with you." But you must help me to talk to Shen Xinglin, so that she had better stop acting rashly and targeting Xiaoshuang with all kinds of conspiracies. I will remember the debt she committed this time, if there is a next time, I will not personally take her Shen Xinglin's life. ”

Helian Guang and the patriarch's faces were very bad, and Helian Cheng then said: "And the woman Aunt Shen Liu, you also tell her, just say what I said, don't be so vicious, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

Aunt Shen Liu? I remembered what Xiaohe's mother said to me about her before, and in the council room, Aunt Shen Liu whispered to me Don't embarrass the child, I opened my mouth and said to Helian Cheng: "Aunt Shen Liu is not completely vicious, many things, she is also forced to helpless, and she is also a poor person, so don't treat her as a hostile object." ”

After listening to my words, Helian Cheng didn't ask me anything, just nodded, and then waved his hand, signaling Helian Guang and the patriarch to leave.

With an obvious look of indignation, Helian Guang snorted coldly, turned around and left. However, the patriarch did not dare to raise his head cautiously, and hurriedly followed behind Helian Guang, and quickly left.

Looking at their backs, I can't tell what it's like in my heart, this circle of cultivators is really the naked law of the jungle, whoever has a big fist can wantonly bully the heads of others.

"Want to have breakfast? Lin Xiaoshuang. Just when I sighed, Helian Cheng's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and when I turned around, it was his smiling bright face, where was the compelling momentum just now?

"Do you have breakfast yet?" In the middle of nowhere, I never expected to eat three full meals a day.

"How could it not be? There is a large bamboo forest next to this, I went to see it in the morning, and the winter bamboo shoots are just right. Wait, there will be a delicious porridge for you to eat in a few moments. ”

Helian Cheng seemed to be very happy to cook, I smiled, but I was also happy, after all, this guy's grilled fish yesterday had conquered my stomach.

So, I simply began to simply freshen up, while Helian Cheng ran to the bamboo forest he said. After a while, I got back two winter bamboo shoots. Then, as he had done yesterday, he began to scrub and scrub by the river.

After a few minutes, two white and tender bamboo shoots were peeled out, and it looked like people wanted to take a bite.

I was idle, sitting by the fire and watching him put the bamboo shoots away, and then rolled up his trousers and went to the river to catch fish. I don't know how he caught the fish in the river in such cold weather, I can't do it anyway.

Helian Cheng's skills will not disappoint, and after a while, he caught two palm-sized fish, he showed off to me like a child, and I smiled at him, I somehow remembered Shen Jingyun.

I don't know if Shen Jingyun will have such a skill as Helian Cheng? Probably not, at home is always a cold stone, asking me to cook for him, but he is not a picky eater, he eats whatever I do.

I thought about it, but I didn't think that Helian Cheng had already finished processing the fish, and when he came to my side, he took out a bag of rice like a treasure: "Look, what is this?" It's a bag of rice, I said I had porridge to drink today. ”

"Where did the rice come from?" I asked curiously.

"I went into the village in the morning and asked the villagers for this bag of rice, so I can eat it with confidence, and there will be no problem." Helian Cheng said with a smug look.

I couldn't help but laugh again, he was too careful. Seeing me laughing, Helian Cheng scratched his head a little shyly, and then took out a small iron pot, and it was another series of actions.

Wash rice, cut bamboo shoots, and sort out the fish.

The bamboo shoots are cut into thin shreds with a dexterous knife, and the fish is sliced into thin, almost transparent slices. When the porridge is half-cooked, the bamboo shoots and fish are put in turn.

In the end, Helian Cheng took out a piece of old ginger from the bag of rice, made it all into ginger foam, and carefully sprinkled it in the pot, and then took out a small handful of tender shallots, made them into green onion flowers, and said to me with a smile: "When this porridge is ready, sprinkle a handful of green onions, it is really fragrant." ”

I looked at him with a smile and a word, this skillful and neat appearance, I could go to be a chef.

I was watching it interestingly, Helian Cheng suddenly looked up and asked me, "Why did you let Aunt Shen Liu go?" Judging from the news I inquired, she has hurt you a lot. ”

I didn't expect Helian Cheng to remember this, so I began to explain: "I heard people in the village talk about Aunt Shen's life experience. Her husband died early, and she went to serve Shen Xinglin in order to get some more monthly allowances every month and make up for her son's body. You know Shen Xinglin's character, no one in the village is willing to serve her, and after a long time, Aunt Shen Sixth has to become like that in order to please Shen Xinglin. ”

The porridge in the iron pot was boiling "gurgling", and it already exuded an attractive fragrance, and even my gluttony was aroused, so I couldn't help but stop and take a sip of the aroma of the porridge before continuing: "Her nature is not like this. Otherwise, in the council hall, she would not be really anxious for Xiaohe's life, and reminded me. After all, everything is not her mastermind, just a minion. Why should I go to the trouble of persecuting a woman who is already having some hardship? ”

After I finished talking about the reason, Helian Cheng was a little dumbfounded, he looked at me, and he didn't speak, there was something in his eyes that I couldn't tell. I instinctively wanted to avoid this kind of gaze, but Helian Cheng suddenly gently grabbed my arm and said to me, "Xiaoshuang, I think you are truly kind. ”

"I'm not kind. If I didn't insist on doing good deeds every day, I wouldn't have given up my seat when I saw the old man on the bus..."I burst out laughing and teased at Helian Cheng.

But he didn't want to, he interrupted me solemnly: "In the circle of cultivators, you don't know how cruel it is. Peeling back the glamour on the surface, many female cultivators only care about interests and power, such female cultivators have seen a lot, and I think there are very few really kind girls like you. ”

"Then you put me in the pile of dwarfs to highlight my height." I said it jokingly.

"Come with me." Helian Cheng didn't care about what I said before, and said this to me.

I fell silent for a moment, and the smile on my lips faded.

If I could barely bring up the topic last night, in the face of Helian Cheng, who is extremely serious at the moment, I can't escape anymore, and even I began to think about whether to tell him the real reason why I can't go.

Maybe it was my sudden silence, Helian Cheng asked a little anxiously: "Xiaoshuang, what do you mean by not speaking?" You should give me a word. Are you afraid that it will be dangerous to leave the village, so you don't want to? Don't worry, follow me, I will be able to protect you. ”

Obviously, Helian Cheng misunderstood me, but how can I tell the real reason? Even if he said it, it would only make Helian Cheng even more embarrassed, how could I let him stay with me in the village for two months. But if he's gone...

Seeing that I was still silent, Helian Cheng was a little anxious, and habitually grabbed his hair, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Seeing that he was so genuinely worried about me and anxious, I couldn't bear it, and if I continued to deceive, it seemed that I was not a friend enough to Helian Cheng.

It's just that whether to leave or stay should be Helian Cheng's own decision, how can I keep being so hesitant and worry him because of my selfishness?

Thinking of this, I was just about to speak, when I suddenly saw Helian Cheng's expression solemn. Before I could speak, he said first: "Xiaoshuang, I don't know what you've been hesitating about? You can only guess for yourself. But I don't want to speculate, let me tell you something about Tao Xinwozi, there are some things related to me, I..."

"Helian Cheng..." I stopped, I really didn't want to inquire about his private affairs, and I was determined to tell everything.

Helian Cheng resolutely interrupted me and said, "Actually, I am the true heir of Helian Cheng's family. ”

"Huh?" He still said it, and even though I had some guesses, I let out a low exclamation after hearing his affirmation.

In the past, I had absolutely no idea how noble the heir of the so-called Guxiu family was. Now, I have a preliminary concept, this is what I have guessed about Helian Cheng's identity, but I have never dared to think that he is the heir's younger brother in Helian Guang's mouth, the key is his ascetic appearance, and where does he have that kind of lofty momentum?

I looked at Helian Cheng and wondered for a moment why he was telling me this secret?
