"You've been in a coma for ten days, this girl, but I'm worried about you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The old man fanned the yellow leaves with one hand and stroked his long beard with the other, and looked sideways slightly, with an indescribable urgency in his tone.
Qiao Ximing looked at the wooden house not far away, and saw the girl with a round necklace hanging on her neckline, her white forehead was full of sweat, and she was busy with the food of the three of them.
For a moment, there was an indescribable feeling in my heart.
He came out of the hut and sat on the ground against the wall next to the rocking chair in the afterglow of near dusk, looking somewhat casual.
"Thank you......"
The old man's body didn't move, but the yellow leaf fan suddenly flew out and hit Qiao Ximing's forehead.
"After going out for half a year, I learned some unnecessary rules. ā
Hearing the old man's words, Qiao Ximing smiled dumbly.
Without rubbing his head, he picked up the yellow leaf that the old man had been fanning for more than four years with a soft expression, got up and put it back in the palm of the old man's hand, but did not sit down again.
As if he had seen something strange, the old man's eyes suddenly stared at Qiao Ximing.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Ximing touched his face with some confusion.
The old man snorted, and the yellow leaves fanned again, bringing a chill: "It's not bad, I finally learned how to laugh, unlike before, I always frowned at me coldly, it's really ugly!"
"Yes, I shouldn't look ugly, right?" Qiao Ximing's smile intensified.
"Huh!" the old man glared: "Will you still ridicule?" It seems that it is not a change in personality, but an evil spirit!"
Shaking his head, Qiao Ximing changed the topic: "The situation in Qin Du Town, should be okay?"
The old man snorted lightly, his eyelids drooped and he didn't know if he rolled his eyes: "The body is good, don't care so much." Your little friend of the Du family is also a shrewd little guy, and he can't afford to lose. ā
"That's good......"
"Okay, what's good!" The old man suddenly became angry for some reason: "Why are you so careless?"
Qiao Ximing touched his nose: "Is there one?"
"You're still talking back! Didn't you do the two prison officers?"
After a short silence, Qiao Ximing nodded and admitted: "Yes." ā
When the old man saw his plain appearance, he immediately became angry, and Huang Ye knocked on the armrest of the rocking chair a few times, and finally turned into a sigh: "Their origin is not small, if you want to touch it, you should let your senior brother take action, what are you doing here? How dangerous it is, don't you know it in your heart?"
ā...... They are here for Xiaoqian. ā
The old man's expression paused, and then he sighed again, no longer blaming.
"Xiaoqian's matter, that girl has already told me. Tell me, what's your plan?"
Qiao Ximing's expression gradually became serious: "Let's take a step at a time...... The Perfect Body Project, the Eight Beasts of the Eight Clans, and the Three Hundred Years of Reincarnation...... This time I went out, there were too many things that could not be explained, so I could only slowly look for clues. ā
Hearing this, the old man's eyebrows furrowed.
"Actually......"
"Let's be later, we'll talk about it after dinner...... Okay?"
The old man looked sideways, and saw a trace of exhaustion, a trace of begging, and a trace of expectation on that smiling face.
His wrinkled face relaxed, nodded and closed his eyes.
"Go help that girl, I've been eating vegetarian every day for the past few days, I'm really tired of eating. ā
"Heh......" Qiao Ximing smiled and walked away from the old man.
......
Xue Yiwu was intently looking at the bracken and wild mushrooms on the flames, waiting for the moment when the vegetables were ripe, with a trace of concentration on her little face, and she didn't hear the sound behind her.
A hand suddenly reached in front of her and took the wild vegetable skewers from the tongue of fire, which made her heart jump suddenly.
Review.
"Joe! You...... You're awake!"
At first, it was a surprise, and then it seemed that he felt that his voice was a little loud, and his pretty face immediately turned red, and he put his hot little hand behind his back, and his voice was lowered.
But the excitement in the tone is still impossible to hide.
Qiao Ximing smiled and nodded, and shook a large piece of meat with his left hand.
In the cellar, I don't know if it is the old man's specially stored beast soldier ingredients, waiting for him to cook with familiar techniques.
"You're tired, come for me. ā
Xue Yiwu's head suddenly shook like a rattle, and hurriedly said, "Don't be tired, don't get tired, let me ......"
"Master said that you made him eat vegetarian for several days, and today I want to change the taste. ā
The swaying little face suddenly stopped, and the redness became even worse, and he didn't know what to say, and he looked a little embarrassed and cute.
"Brother, you are not allowed to bully my sister!"
Xiao Qian's immature voice came out of Qiao Ximing's mind, and he couldn't help but think of a little girl with a bulging mouth, and shook his head dumbly, only to find that Xue Yiwu waved his hand, as if he wanted to explain something.
With a move in his heart, Qiao Ximing asked, "Xiaoqian, have you been able to make several people hear your voice at the same time?"
"Yes! Xiao Qian has been cultivating these days, and she can already talk to five people at the same time, and her brother doesn't have to say it in the future, as long as she thinks in her heart, Xiao Qian can hear it!"
Hearing the little smug emotion in the words, Qiao Ximing nodded with a smile, and did not hesitate to praise: "Xiaoqian is very smart and has done a good job!"
Then, he placed the piece of meat on the grill, reached around Shae Mai's thin waist, and pulled her hands over.
The little hands are red, with a temperature that is not low, and there are a few small wounds on the fingertips, probably close wounds that were accidentally punctured by a string of sticks, and they have not completely disappeared.
"Take a break and chat with the teacher, he likes you a lot. And don't look at him with a serious face, in fact, he can be regarded as a talker. ā
Wisps of vitality flowed into the white and tender hands, nourishing those inconspicuous scars, making Xue Yiwu's face hot, and she couldn't calm down.
Syllable!
The yellow leaf fan flew out of a distance of more than ten meters, landed accurately on the back of Qiao Ximing's head, and then rebounded to the ground.
"Hmph! have you learned to speak ill?" the old man's muttering came faintly.
Picking up the yellow leaf fan for the second time, Qiao Ximing stuffed it into Xue Yiwu's hand, then gestured in the direction of the old man and said, "Go, I'll leave dinner to me." ā
Without any further objections, Xue Yiwu blushed, holding the huge yellow leaf and running away towards the old man, the two small hands were awkwardly intertwined at the handle of the yellow leaf, which made the old man laugh twice.
The positions of the three of them were changed like this.
The girl accompanied the old man and didn't know what she was talking about, and from time to time she could hear a burst of reassuring laughter, and Qiao Ximing skillfully handled the meat pieces and patiently baked them on the grill.
In about half an hour, dinner was divided into three portions and served on the table in the wooden house, steaming hot, and the smell of meat made the old man's appetite move.
Xu felt that he was the eldest, and the old man had no intention of waiting, so he took out a pair of wooden chopsticks from under Qiao Ximing's hand, poked them on the golden crispy, juicy meat strips, and sent a large piece directly into his mouth, and immediately made a snorting sound of enjoyment.
"Don't worry, it's still hot, and no one is robbing you. Qiao Ximing was a little helpless.
The old man closed his eyes and tasted the deliciousness of the meat, and argued: "You don't know how uncomfortable I have been eating vegetarian food in the past ten days......
As soon as the words came out, Xue Yiwu's pretty face turned red again.
The old man immediately realized this, opened his eyes and looked at the girl with some embarrassment and explained: "I'm not saying that your cooking skills are not good, but you know that most of these people like meat food, and if you don't eat it for too long, your heart will always be very greedy." ā
"Explain something, just say it's greedy. ā
Qiao Ximing's faint words made the old man glare at him, and then said: "If you are greedy, you kid and I haven't learned anything else, but I still learned seven or eight points in this meat making craft!"
Thinking of the barbecue that was either scorched or half-baked in the first half a year, Qiao Ximing raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and sighed helplessly, and did not expose the old man's lies.
The conversation between the two dissolved the tension in her heart in Xue Yiwu's eyes, and she began to eat in small bites, and the familiar taste reminded her of the meals in the quicksand again, and the meals were all from Qiao Ximing's hands.
Thinking about it, her pretty face turned red again for some reason.
At this time, an immature voice sounded in the minds of the three of them at the same time, with a sense of pity.
"Xiao Qian also wants to eat, Xiao Qian also wants to taste her brother's craftsmanship!"
Qiao Ximing was stunned, but a trace of sadness and anger flashed on his face, and he was seen by the old man.
The old man grabbed another piece of meat, and suddenly said with disdain in his mouth: "Actually, this meat is made in general, a little lighter, if the old man makes a move, it will be a hundred miles of fragrance, and the brute beasts have to come to please me when they smell it, just to get a small piece to eat." ā
Xiao Qian's voice suddenly became sharper: "Old man Qiao, you can really blow! I have seen all the meat you made three years ago, it is either red or black, and you don't speak when you eat, just swallow raw, and the ghost believes the hundred miles of fragrance you say!"
The old man's wooden chopsticks suddenly stopped in front of his mouth, and his eyes widened, but he didn't expect to be exposed by a little girl who couldn't even see the shadow.
But he doesn't blush either, of course, it may be that his face is old and congested is not so obvious, smash it, smash it, smash it, as far as he is concerned, he talked about the past when he met Qiao Ximing, and he always highlighted his image intentionally or unintentionally in the story, which provoked Xiaoqian to constantly reveal the bottom.
The old and the young were talking like this, while the two young people were laughing and listening to the gossip at the dinner table while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
This feeling is like an ordinary family of four, enjoying a good dinner together.
Cozy, bland and warm.
......
At night, Xue Yiwu had already gone into the house and slept, while the old man and Qiao Ximing were still sitting in the open space outside the house, looking at the endless starry sky in the sky.
The old man squinted slightly, but did not speak, as if he was intently admiring the starry moonlight.
But Qiao Ximing knew that the old man was waiting for him.
Close your eyes and open them again.
The look in his eyes changed to solemnity.
Bowing his head and turning in the direction of the old man, Qiao Ximing finally broke the silence outside the house.
"You...... How much longer?"
