Chapter 22: The Golden Egg
The quilt covered by Chun Tao in the room is being placed on the bed, and under the bed is Zhou Kuiruo's quilt.
"I know." Zhou Kuiruo was relieved after saying that Chun Tao, but as soon as the stone in his heart landed, he lifted it again.
It can't be Aunt Zhou who found out! "That's... This... No... No... It's..."Chun Tao pointed to Aunt Zhou's room and then to the bed, very anxious.
Zhou Kuiruo is old god was looking at the books, and he couldn't stand Chun Tao's stammering, so he opened his mouth. "My mother doesn't know, I changed the quilt."
Yes! Why? Did I do anything today that pleased him? Chun Tao really couldn't figure out Zhou Kuiruo's thoughts.
"The two of us take turns sleeping in the bed, changing it every two days, which is the fairest."
He's a strange man, not a pedantic scholar, but he occasionally behaves like a bit of a machismo. Except for being soft, everything else is fine. Chun Tao evaluated Zhou Kuiruo, and Zhou Kuiruo also complained silently in his heart.
I don't really care who I'm marrying, but... But this woman is not only not good-looking, she looks demented, and she stammers. Ay! How did I agree to marry her with compassion in the first place!
"Have you touched my books during the day?" Zhou Kuiruo suddenly said again.
No way! I put it back as before, how can he see it. "I... I... Learn words. ”
Thinking of Chun Tao's words, Zhou Kuiruo smiled, it was a mockery. "Who taught you how to write?"
Zhao Chuntao's parents don't seem to be able to write! "Steal... Stealing from school. Chun Tao didn't say where he stole it.
"The art of painting was also learned?" As soon as Chun Tao wanted to nod, she was frightened by Zhou Kuiruo's stern eyes. "I really want to know who is so powerful in Zhaojia Village, not only is his painting skills outstanding, but he can also make the people who steal the school so powerful."
It's over, not only did you let your guard down, but you also overtly lied, what should you do? Chun Tao stared at the ground helplessly, and Zhou Kuiruo stared at her head, refusing to let her go.
What if he suspects that I am not Zhao Chuntao? Thinking of this spring peach, she broke out in a cold sweat. "Actually, I... I say... Do you believe it? "Even if it's a ridiculous reason, it can't make him think about it anymore.
Although I am not very familiar with Zhao Chuntao, I also know that she has not studied or practiced, and if she is not taught, she will never be self-taught. "You say."
"I am... Dreaming..."Chun Tao secretly glanced at Zhou Kuiruo and found that he was looking at him, and lowered his head without looking at his expression carefully. "Dreaming... One... Woman... Mr. Woman... Teach me. ”
I'm mixing the truth and the falsehood, so it should sound more convincing! "She said I... I have no strengths... Only... At... Paint... Square... Aspect... There is talent, so... Teach... Teach me. ”
"Dreaming? The word? Zhou Kuiruo raised his eyebrows, unable to tell whether he believed it or not.
"The word is also... She... She taught, but... I'm too stupid... I just learned, I learned... Halfway. "Now I can only use my bad brain as an excuse, but I didn't expect that one day I would actually scold myself for being stupid, I guess I was really stupid.
"Then you just said that you learned it secretly." I feel that Zhou Kuiruo's tone is still a little unbelievable.
"Because... If I say... Be... Dream... Dream Man... Teach me, for sure... Would have thought... I am... It's lying. It's better to... Say yes... Steal... Stealing from school. ”
She had a point, and the dream wasn't entirely implausible. In ancient times, there was Lu Bantuo Dream King Xiucai, who passed on his bridge building skills. It makes sense to dream that a female gentleman taught her to paint, and when she put down the pen, her hands were weak, and she had never practiced.
If Chun Tao knew that Zhou Kuiruo was weak in holding the pen because his body was too weak and believed this statement, he might have exercised immediately.
Zhou Kuiruo occasionally looked up at her, and Chun Tao was trembling by him. What can I do! He said that your painting is too heavy, so let it be heavy! If you have to paint another one, you will get an axe. It turned out to make him suspicious.
"You said it tonight." Zhou Kuiruo's sudden speech frightened Chun Tao immediately raised his head and looked at him with wide eyes.
Zhou Kuiruo had no choice but to slow down his speech: "What you said tonight, don't talk to the second person, you know?" ”
"Eun!" Chun Tao nodded quickly. I have nothing to do, why should I find guilt!
"If someone asks who taught you to paint, you'll say it's me, you know?" Zhou Kuiruo looked at Chun Tao, who kept nodding, and felt funny, and he did laugh.
Chun Tao looked at Zhou Kuiruo, who suddenly laughed, it was really strange, and her brows were furrowed.
Restraining the smile on his face, Zhou Kuiruo said with a straight face: "What you just said, those who believe it don't think there's anything, if you don't believe it, they will only treat you as a monster." ”
"Hmm!" That's what worries me the most. Chun Tao didn't know why Zhou Kuiruo was willing to protect herself, no matter what the reason, she was very grateful.
"If you want to read books in the future, read them generously, don't be sneaky." Seeing Chun Tao nodding, Zhou Kuiruo said again: "Go to bed, I'll blow out the candle." ”
"Okay." I quickly took off my shoes and socks, and as soon as I covered the quilt, the room was dark.
After thinking about it, Chun Tao couldn't help but speak: "You really... Want to sleep underground? ”
"At least I don't want to sleep with you right now." Zhou Kuiruo's words made Chun Tao embarrassed.
"Sleep!" Zhou Kuiruo ignored her, seemed to turn over, and was ready to sleep.
If he wants to sleep on the ground, let him sleep! You look like this, you can't let him sleep with you! laughed at herself, and Chun Tao gradually went to meet Zhou Gong.
Vaguely hearing the rooster crow next door, Chun Tao got up cautiously, but still woke up Zhou Kuiruo.
"Awake?" Zhou Kuiruo's hoarse voice suddenly sounded. It was still a little dark, and Chun Tao didn't know if she had stepped on him.
"I... Wake... You? ”
"No, I usually wake up at this time, but I didn't get up for fear of your embarrassment." I can't admit that I'm weaker than a woman, and I haven't slept on the ground!
"Then I... Went out. Chun Tao was afraid of waking up Aunt Zhou, so she still tiptoed.
In the past, when Zhou Kuiruo got up, Chun Tao had already boiled hot water, and he washed with warm water, but when he got up today, he wanted to wash directly with well water.
"Don't... I'm here... Boiled water, cold water... No... Not good. "Even though it's summer, it's still cold to wash with well water at this time.
Zhou Kuiruo reached out to grab the tub, and Chun Tao dodged away with a side step.
"I... I cook. Holding the wooden basin, he quickly fled into the stove room.
Zhou Kuiruo was stunned by Chun Tao's agile movements, and when he came back to his senses, Chun Tao had already entered the stove room. He had no choice but to give up washing for the time being, and first catch the pheasant and kill it.
"Spring peach." Zhou Kuiruo suddenly called Chun Tao's name, and she immediately grabbed the wooden basin in her hand. "I'm not asking for a pot, I'm letting you come and see this chicken." Zhou Kuiruo sighed helplessly.
"How..."Seeing the situation in the pyre, he looked at Zhou Kuiruo in surprise, "Down... Laid eggs? ”
How can it feel like I've laid the egg! But it's fun for her to do this, not like the cold and scared look she used to have. Zhou Kuiruo looked at Chun Tao and smiled gently.
"That's... Still... Still killing? Chun Tao looked at the chicken intently, and didn't notice that Zhou Kuiruo's eyes had changed a little when she looked at her. Generally speaking, if there is a chicken at home that can lay eggs, it will not be killed, but this chicken was originally used to replenish Zhou Kuiruo's body, and it stands to reason that he will definitely die. Now...
"I think it's better to keep it! You don't know how many chickens you can live, so when they lay eggs, you might as well keep them first. ”
This chicken was also lucky, and at the critical moment, he took out the golden egg to avoid death and escaped death. But when he said this, did he think I couldn't feed those chicks? Am I that useless in his eyes? "So... Raised. ”
Took the eggs, and the pheasant didn't react. It's really ruthless to exchange your own eggs for your own life. Chun Tao secretly complained about this pheasant who was greedy for life and afraid of death and sold his children.
"The water is hot, isn't it?"
"It's hot." Chun Tao hurriedly handed over the wooden basin.
