Chapter 18: Met Zhu Yiyi

Lilac watched these fabrics pick and choose in front of the fabric stall, and when she saw the material she liked that suited her, she said from time to time, "Wow, if you make a dress for yourself, it will be really beautiful." "I also compare the cloth with my own body.

"Lilac, are you alright?" Chen Busi was a little anxious.

"Alright, okay, that's it." Lilac said to the stall owner.

The stall owner measured the size, cut it with scissors, and gave it to the cloves.

"Let's go, don't think. Come with me to meet that tailor. You can see, Tailor Shi is a well-known tailor expert, people are beautiful, no, it is as beautiful as a fairy, the fabric is made by her hands, and the clothes made are not only fitting, but also contaminated with fragrance, and they are very comfortable to wear. ”

Chen Busi didn't speak, he only heard Lilac keep talking about Tailor Shi. "I look for Tailor Shi on weekdays, not to mention anything else, just watching Tailor Shi make clothes there, and my heart is beautiful."

Shi tailor's name is Shi Xiangyun, in his twenties, his beauty is famous in Weiyang Mountain, the Shi family is a tailor family, and when he came to her, the craftsmanship was passed on to Shi Xiangyun.

"Sister Shi Xiangyun, don't think about it, you listen to this name, there are many beautiful girls, don't stare at others in a daze." Lilac said to Chen Busi, with a very proud look in her eyes.

Shi Xiangyun heard the voice of the cloves, so he walked out of the inner room of the tailor's shop, "Yo, it's the cloves, the cloves haven't been seen for many days, today is the Zhengyuan Festival, why didn't you accompany your mother to the temple to offer incense?" ”

"Sister Shi, I've been there early in the morning, come, make a dress." Lilac handed the fabric to Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun took the cloth, looked at it, and touched it with his hand, "Lilac, which man is this going to make clothes?" This material is still good, some vision. ”

Lilac pulled Chen Busi to Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun looked up and down, and saw that Chen Busi was dirty, and his clothes were torn, but his face was still white, so he measured Chen Busi's shoulders and waist with his hands, and the approximate size of the clothes he made was clear.

When Shi Xiangyun was in front of him, Chen Busi stared at Shi Xiangyun, and just as Lilac said, Shi Xiangyun exuded charm all over his body, radiant, touching people with a smile and a smile, and also exuded the fragrance of a mature woman, which was even more intoxicating, where had Chen Busi seen this peerless woman, his heart was pounding, his face was slightly flushed, and he was shy.

Ding Xiang glanced at Chen Busi's expression at this time, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Sister Shi, let's do this first, Brother Busi and I have to buy some other things, and come back to pick up clothes in an hour, what do you think?"

"Okay, Lilac, you can go, and remember to come and get the clothes in an hour." As she spoke, Ding Xiang pulled Chen Busi out of the door without looking back.

Shi Xiangyun turned around and said, "This clove." How did you get acquainted with such a silly-looking brother? ”

"Don't think about brother, look at you, I'm also embarrassed, don't talk about it, let's walk in this market and see, let's buy it." Chen Busi came back to his senses and looked at Lilac, Lilac's eyes were bright, with a slight smile on his face, the wind blew, blowing the hair next to Lilac's ears, and the fragrance also floated to his nose, and the smell was so intoxicating.

"Lilac, thank you." Chen Busi said casually.

"Thank me for what?" Ding Xiang looked at Chen Busi at the moment, and she found that in Chen Busi's eyes, that look was so familiar, "Brother Ziji? Lilac whispered the words "Brother Ziji" in a weak voice. However, after calming down and thinking about it for a while, I still stopped the following words.

"Lilac, thank you, thank you for helping me buy clothes."

"No thanks, don't think, I appreciate good people when I grow so big, I look at your actions today, I think you are really good, and you did everything to help Niu Ding Niu Mao and the mother and son, which really moved me. I'm spending a little money today, it's worth it, it's worth it. ”

Chen Busi didn't speak again, and accompanied Lilac to walk in the bazaar and watch, all kinds of things were placed all over the stalls, although some were not too complete, but they were enough. After they had selected and purchased the cloves, they paid some extra money, found two masters who carried the goods, and followed them to prepare to return.

More than an hour passed, and Ding Xiang walked to the Shi family's tailor shop, and Ding Xiang went into the back room to get clothes for Chen Busi.

"Don't think about my brother, go and change the clothes on your body, and throw away the torn clothes on your body." Chen Busi went into the room and changed his clothes, and after a while, he wore the clothes he had just made and walked out.

Lilac looked at Chen Busi, and couldn't imagine that Chen Busi, who had changed into new clothes, looked so handsome, the clothes did fit, and a down-and-out boy became a handsome boy.

"No, yes, this dress, even I like Lilac. That sister Shi Xiangyun is really a skilled craftsman. Chen Busi also thinks it is really good, for so many years, he has always worn coarse linen clothes in Hantan Temple, and after he came out, he wore such clothes, and he felt that he had not only become decent, but also regained his vitality, and his body was full of strength.

"Lilac, let's go back. Niuding, Niu Mao, they are still waiting for us. ”

"Then let's go, don't think about my brother."

After Niu Ding left, he inquired about carpentry and masonry everywhere, and found Zhu Yiyi, who was also famous for his skillful carpentry in that area, up to the beams and wooden roofs, wooden eaves and piles, down to tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and basins, all of which were made exquisitely and meticulously.

Niu Ding looked at all kinds of things carved by himself at home at Zhu Yiyi, and he was very amazed.

"It's a down payment, and it's paid in full after the work is done." Niu Ding said to Zhu Yiyi. Zhu Yiyi took the deposit, and arranged for someone to take various tools and a few carts of wood to the place Niu Ding said. Niu Mao set up a shed nearby, placed the old lady, left the beef brought by Niu Ding to the old lady, and then went to carry a few buckets of water to clean up the remaining open fire ashes.

When Chen Busi and Lilac returned to Niu Mao, it was almost evening, and the Weiyang Mountain in the evening was gloomy, and the mountain breeze was blowing in the forest, showing some coolness.

Lilac couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't think about my brother, can you make some fire?" Lilac asked Chen Busi to make a fire, firstly, he was really afraid of cold, and secondly, he could simply make some food to relieve the fatigue of the day.

Chen Busi listened to Lilac's words, and went to the forest with Niu Mao to collect some dry firewood and make a fire. Everyone feels warm in their hearts and has strength. Niu Ding Zhu was a little later when he returned here, and Zhu Yiyi delivered some wood in the distance, and then discussed with Niu Ding about tomorrow's arrangements.

Lilac faintly looked at Niu Ding in the distance talking to the carpenter in the depths of the firelight, and the carpenter's face was also beating between the flames, and Lilac crossed the fire and looked at it carefully, as if it was Zhu Yiyi.

"Is it Master Zhu Yiyi? Is it Master Zhu? Lilac said, taking a few steps closer.

"It's me, I'm Zhu Yiyi. Which girl is talking? Zhu also looked in the direction of Lilac for a while, but the sky was dark, and he couldn't see who was talking to him, only listening to the voice of a girl.

When Lilac crossed the fire, Chen Busi saw that Lilac seemed to sense something?

He also got closer to listen, and it turned out that the carpenter who came today was Zhu Zhen's father, Zhu Yiyi. Chen Busi was happy and depressed at this time, happy that he might be able to learn about Zhu Zhen from Zhu Yiyi, and depressed that he couldn't reveal his identity yet.

I only heard Lilac say, "Master Zhu, I'm Lilac." ”

"Oh, it's a lilac. Lilac, it's so late, how did you end up here? Zhu looked at Lilac for a while, and then looked at Chen Busi Niu Mao and them in the distance, and was a little puzzled in his heart.

"Master Zhu, I am entrusted by someone to take care of their injured lady today. So stay here. By the way, Master Zhu, why hasn't there been any news of Aunt Zhu Zhen for so many years? Lilac asked Zhu Yiyi.

Zhu knew the reason for the matter for a while, but some words were not easy to say directly, "Lilac, Zhu Zhen is still in the Wu family, and she is the chef and the assistant cook in the Wu family, and she has never left." ”

"Master Zhu, isn't Zhu Zhen able to leave the Wu family in a year and a half? Why are you still there after eight years? Lilac asked again.

"The Wu family's Wu Shide has not been on the ground for eight years, relying on a wheelchair to travel, and needs someone to serve everything, don't you think it's strange? This is the reason why Zhu Zhen can't leave. There's nothing I can do. Zhu Yiyi said.

Niu Ding also heard them talk about the Wu family. But thinking about the persecution of Chen Ziqi in Hantan Cave with Niu Mao, which led to the death of Chen Ziqi for more than eight years, I regret it in my heart. "The Wu family is powerful, and if people go in, it will be difficult to come out." Niu Ding said to them.

Lilac said, "Aunt Zhu Zhen is so pitiful. The younger brother is even more pitiful, and he doesn't know which heinous person he was persecuted to death? I don't know if I'm still alive? It hurts to think about it. ”

"The two babies are pitiful, this is fate. Alas. Zhu sighed in a low voice.

Niu Ding was even more panicked, didn't dare to say any more, and left them to take care of the old lady.

"It's not early, Lilac, I'll go back, remember to protect yourself." Zhu said to Lilac for a while.

"Master Zhu, I know, don't worry. You just go back. Ding Xiang said to Zhu Yiyi.

Zhu turned around and packed up his tools for a while, and left here while there was still a faint light in the sky.

Lilac returned to the fire in silence, and Chen Busi didn't dare to ask, for fear of saying something. Niu Ding pretended to be calm and set up a stove next to the fire to boil water, and Niu Mao used cotton cloth to shield his wife from the cool breeze in front of his wife. didn't speak, and spent a long time in silence.

Niu Ding went to a distant place to bring a stone slab, and took out a few packets of appetizers, a packet of salted peanuts, a packet of pickled fish, a packet of pickles, and two roast chickens from the things he had purchased. Then he took out a jug of wine from his bosom. Summoned Chen Busi Lilac and Niu Mao to come over.

"Don't think, Lilac, I'm Niu Ding Niu Mao brothers, I am grateful to you, come, please have a sip of wine together to celebrate our encounter." Niu Ding looked at the group and said.

"Thank you, I should thank Brother Busi, you two can remember, Chen Busi is your mother's life-saving benefactor, and also your two life-saving benefactor, this kindness is a kindness that needs to be repaid for a lifetime. But keep it in mind. Lilac said to Niu Ding Niu Mao and the two of them.

"That's nature. Come on, eat and drink together, go to bed early, and get up tomorrow to work. Niu Ding said.

"Of course, of course, what Niu Ding said is also what I mean, not only listen to my wife and Niu Ding now, but also listen to Chen Busi in the future." Niu Mao said.

In this way, in the night of Weiyang Mountain, in a clearing near the woods, the burning fire, the stars in the night sky, the wind in the forest, and the voices of several people were intertwined, and there was a lot of life.

After a while, they were full of food and drink, and they all fell silent. Chen Busi fell asleep leaning against a piece of wood, Niu Ding and Niu Mao leaned together, and it didn't take long to hear Niu Ding's snoring, one after another in the silent night sky.

Lilac stood by the fire, her eyes were misty, but her consciousness seemed to be clear. She added some wood to the fire from time to time, because she always felt cold, and this kind of fire in the open space, half of her body was cold, and ordinary people couldn't bear it.

When the night was deeper, Lilac curled up her body, approached Chen Busi a little, slowly leaned her head on Chen Busi's lap, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. In the second half of the night, the fire was extinguished, but Lilac started to heat up, and by the time it was almost dawn, she had become dazed, for she knew in her consciousness that she had suffered from the wind chill, fever, and fever in the middle of the night.

"Lilac, clove, wake up." Chen Busi woke up and shook the cloves vigorously, "No, the cloves are burning badly, I want to take the cloves to see the doctor." Chen Busi picked up the cloves and walked in the direction of the market.
