When the sun was about to set, Du Ruo stood up and stretched, glanced out the window, put away the painting tools, and put away the drawing paper one by one.

She opened the door and said to a monk outside, "Please ask you to preside over a visit!" ”

The monk turned to go, and Du Ruo turned back to the room and sat down, took out a blank piece of paper, laid it out, and took a pen and wrote an IOU.

When Zhenluo came, she let Zhenluo read it, "Master Zhenluo, I thought about it, let's not settle the honorarium first, write an IOU, and you will settle it for me once again, how about it?" ”

"No matter how convenient it is for the donor, the honorarium will not be underpaid."

Zhenluo looked at the IOU, signed his name on it, and pressed the handprint with vermilion.

Du Ruo folded the IOU and put it away, still sitting on the futon without moving, thought for a while, and said: "Master Zhenluo, I know that you people who believe in Buddhism do not believe in the existence of the soul, and only the origin and extinction of the Tao, but my existence is contrary to this statement. Now I am just the soul in this body, and I have become one with Du's body, and her own soul may have gone to the same place as the soul of ordinary dead people. ”

Zhenluo looked at her with a calm expression, like a convincing leader, but he had never heard of Du Ruo's statement.

"I don't have anywhere to say this, I can only tell you, I'm probably dead in another world." Du Ruo sighed.

"Donor, these ...... The poor monk can't answer for you. "Zhenluo said sincerely.

Du Ruo stood up and said with a smile: "I'm just asking casually, by the way, Master Zhenluo, what did I do when I came to the temple in the future, if anyone inquires, I hope to keep it a secret for me." She bowed deeply.

On the way back, Du Ruo took out the IOU and looked at it, and put it on his body again.

She has to save some money and find a way to escape from here, and before she escapes, she will be abandoned by these people and voluntarily give up on her, after all, Du's household registration is here, she ran away rashly and became a black household, not only will she have no place to stand in the future, but I am afraid that troubles will come one after another.

When she came back early, far away from dark, she did not go home directly, but went to the fields.

The wheat planted in the fields has just sprouted, and the weather is going to be so hot that it needs to be watered and watered. However, there are fewer weeds in the field than in other families, and she has not been in the field since the wheat was planted.

After pulling out the grass in the field seriously, she straightened up and glanced at the red sunset, and walked in the direction of home.

Walking on the road back to the village, I saw the smoke curling in the village, and every household began to cook dinner, and the village was planted with trees everywhere, which was lush and green, and it was particularly quiet and beautiful under the reflection of the sunset.

Du Ruo raised her feet and stepped into the door, she heard the sound of talking in the hall, smelled the smell of hot rice, and the smell of meat, Cai's counted on her to cook every day, but she didn't expect that she didn't wait for herself to come back today and made it herself.

When she walked into the hall, she found Cai and Song Ju'an sitting there eating, with a plate of stir-fried pork with green vegetables, a plate of pickled cucumbers, two bowls of porridge, and a white steamed bun left in the basket.

didn't wait for her to eat, as if she was an outsider, even if Du Ruo didn't care, his heart was a little cold.

Seeing her come in, Cai's eyelids lifted and continued to eat, as if he didn't see her.

Song Ju'an glanced at her and said, "You're back?" Let's eat! ”

Du Ruo washed his hands, went to the kitchen to take a look, there was nothing, and when he returned to the hall, there were only two bowls of porridge on the table. She sat down to pick up the chopsticks and was about to take the steamed buns, but saw Cai take away the only remaining steamed bun in the basket, and handed it to Song Ju'an with concern, "Ju'an, you're tired all day, eat more!" ”

Du Ruo looked at Cai Shi in astonishment, and didn't understand why she was so herself, didn't she work?

Song Ju'an glanced at Du Ruo, took the steamed bun away, and handed it to her again, "Eat!" He said.

Du Ruo took it unceremoniously, ignored Cai's gaze of the dead, and ate with vegetables.

Just sandwiched a few chopsticks of meat, Cai's couldn't look at it, while glaring at her, he stood up and picked up the plate and pulled the dishes inside into Song Ju'an's bowl across the table, still said with concern: "Eat more, finish it!" I have eaten it with your father. ”

The chopsticks in Du Ruo's hand were raised in mid-air, and he silently retracted his arm.

After thinking for a few seconds, she slapped her chopsticks on the table, and reached out to pick up the bowl of porridge in front of Song Ju'an.

"Cheap hooves! You're looking for a fight! That's Ju'an's meal, you have to grab whatever you eat! Cai scolded angrily, picking up the bamboo chopsticks and knocking them on her hand.

Du Ruo picked up the bowl and stood up to dodge, looked at Song Ju'an and said coldly: "The family wants to starve me to death?!" In this case, I will explain it to the village chief! You've seen everything my mother did, right? ”

Song Ju'an was not shocked, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Cai's and said, "Mother, there is less porridge to cook tonight, just give her to drink, I'm not very hungry." ”

Du Ruo snorted coldly and walked to the courtyard with the bowl.

Cai Shi in the house said hatefully: "What are you letting that hoof do?!" Don't look at her spending a day in the fields, maybe she will sleep outside! Don't you know her yet?! Delicious food and drink are waiting, and there is no movement in the stomach until now! Han Liang sent that bit of meat, and let the slut take it out and eat it! Your father and I didn't want to eat! ”

"Mother, Du Shi has done a lot of work recently, you can dissipate your anger, don't be like her." Song Ju'an said.

"I told you to leave her off! You can't bear it! She came to our old Song family to collect debts! Your father is old and sick, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold his grandson even if he dies! Have you finished drinking all the herbs that the goddess gave you? Why don't you see her boiling medicine? You can't fool me......"

Du Ruo listened to Cai's chatter in the house, so he walked away with his rice bowl.

Sitting in the courtyard while eating while composing in her head, if there is nothing to do tomorrow, she still goes to Qingyang Temple to paint.

At this time, someone outside was knocking on the door.

Du Ruoxin said, it's so late, who else is coming to the door? Could it be the princess?

She put down her rice bowl and walked over to open the door, only to find that it was Zhao Sanliang's daughter-in-law Qi and their second son Zhao Jinbao!

Qi's face was not good-looking, but when he saw Du Ruo who opened the door, his face sank, and he dragged Zhao Jinbao in, and said to Du Ruo: "You woman, don't do serious things, seduce men everywhere all day long!" My family Jinbao is an honest child! What are you doing with him all the time?! ”

Cai and Song Ju'an in the house heard the conversation outside and hurriedly walked out.

"What's wrong? What the hell? Cai asked, glaring at Du Ruo again.

Song Ju'an frowned slightly, glanced at Du Ruo, and said to Qi's family: "Auntie, don't be angry first, you can tell me what Rulan has done." ”

Zhao Jinbao smiled and pointed at Du Ruo, "Rulan bullied me!" ”

Du Ruo: "Who bullied you?" You ruined my embroidery, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet! She looked at Qi again, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "There are not many honest children in this world, but your Zhao Jinbao is not!" ”

"Listen! it! Listen! This woman's mouth is getting sharper and sharper! After breakfast today, my family Jinbao ran home in broad daylight and cried in fright, saying that Du Rulan bullied people and scared him, we are all neighbors, and I don't want to say anything ugly, you ask Du Rulan to accompany her to admit her guilt and admit her mistakes, and I won't look for her! ”

Cai couldn't help it for a long time, and pointed at her and scolded: "Well, what are you causing trouble again?!" Don't do something bad for a day, do you?! ”

Looking at the people in front of him, Du Ruo only felt that he was out of place.

Is Du so annoying? Anyone can bully her every day!

If she follows the rules and is content with the status quo in the future, she will really be sorry for them!

"He tore me up with an embroidery pattern today, how can I pay for it? A penny! Give money! Du Ruo reached out to ask for it.

Qi sneered, "You scared my family into treasure like that, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" ”

Du Ruo saw Zhao Jinbao's smirk, then walked to Song Ju'an's side and said to Qi: "I just blew in his ear, which scared him?" I'll show you! ”

After speaking, she stood on tiptoe, reached out and pinched Song Ju'an's ear and blew softly, asking Zhao Jinbao: "Is this what it looks like?" ”

Song Ju'an's whole person was stunned, and a trace of indescribable strangeness crossed his heart, but seeing Du Ruo's calm expression, there was an undercurrent in his eyes.

Zhao Jinbao scratched his head and nodded again, "You're still talking into my ear!" ”

"That's right, I said you tear my embroidery again, I'm not done with you!" Du Ruo said with a calm expression.

Qi immediately questioned his son: "Did you say that?!" ”

Zhao Jinbao grabbed his hair, thought hard, and nodded after thinking for a long time.

"Then what are you doing when you go home crying wolf?! I thought this slut hit you! Qi said dissatisfiedly, a little embarrassed, grabbed Zhao Jinbao's arm and went home.

Du Ruo returned to the room bored, continued to cut the unfinished embroidery this morning, and carefully traced it with black charcoal.

In recent days, many people in the village have come to her to buy embroidery samples, although they make little money and work hard, but they are also idle. What she needs most now is money.

Song Ju'an opened the curtain and came in, glanced at Du Ruo, and saw Du Ruo concentrating on lowering his head to cut things, he turned around and paced to the bookshelf, about to reach out and take the book from it, but suddenly remembered that there was no book on it.

Song Ju'an took the blanket and spread it on the ground, opened the box containing the books, took out two books from it, and put them on the table.

Du Ruo took the embroidery sample and looked at it for a long time, before she was satisfied with it and put it into the sewing basket, practice makes perfect, she is now more and more proficient in cutting things, and when she has time, she will go to Zhou Ning's mother-in-law to sit down.

Just as the two of them were doing their own things, Cai's voice came out of the hall.

"Didn't you boil medicine to drink today?! Why don't I smell any medicine? Cai said as he walked towards Westinghouse.

Du Ruo hurriedly looked at Song Ju'an.

Song Ju'an quickly got up, rolled up the cover on the ground and put it behind the door, then turned around and walked towards Du Ruo.

Cai lifted the curtain of the West House, and at the same time, Song Juan also sat down on the edge of the bed.
