Chapter 8: The Covenant of the Dead

Her mind spun fast, she said whatever she wanted, and Qiu Yan wrote it down exactly according to her meaning, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth all the time, and she didn't have any objections at all.

"Oh yes! I forgot to ask you, how long can you stay with me? Is it okay to have three years? Wen Tiantian patted her head, and she remembered to ask how long employees could stay at work, if they couldn't do it for a few days and left, there was no point in writing these now!

Qiu Yan looked up at her, "Yes, but I may ask for leave in the middle." ”

"No problem! Asking for leave is a trivial matter, as long as you arrange your home properly, it doesn't matter how many days you want to take leave! "Wen Tiantian used to be a migrant worker, so she naturally understands it very well, who hasn't done anything of their own? What does Qiu Yan say, can you still agree to this little request?

So, I watched him add a clause at the end of the deed: this deed is valid for three years.

I took the pen and paper and took the deed. Wen Tiantianzi carefully looked at each of them, and secretly sighed that Qiu Yan's handwriting was really an iron painting silver hook! The ancient people did not have computers, and they did have a lot of research on calligraphy, unlike her who was used to typing and didn't even hold a pen for a long time.

Press the mudra and it takes effect!

The two of them dipped their thumbs in red dye and printed their fingerprints at the end of the deed, a pair of red imprints with beautiful calligraphy, which is really eye-catching!

Wen Tiantian looked at it again and again with satisfaction, and then carefully folded and put away the straw paper, feeling that the big stone in her heart was finally put down, and the whole person was relaxed.

"Now that we have signed the deed, you can rest in peace, and it's not too late to work when your injuries are better."

Qiu Yan nodded and replied, "Then what will I call you in the future?" Master? Landlord? Still is...... Shopkeeper? ”

In fact, he wants to say "in charge", but this word is generally used to describe the male owner of the family, Wen Tiantian is a little girl, this title always feels that she is old.

The corners of Wen Tiantian's mouth twitched, and he almost squirted out when he said the word "master". A lot of "master and servant" plots in small online articles flashed in my mind, which is simply indescribable! I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at the moment, and my face was slightly red, "You...... It's better to call me sweet, I call you Qiuyan, and the rest don't need to be restrained, I'm not difficult to serve, it's enough to eat and drink. ”

Qiu Yan saw that her face was inexplicably red, her appearance was quite cute, and her heart softened a little, and she no longer teased her.

"Okay, I remember."

After talking about some things together, Wen Tiantian took the empty fruit plate back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In fact, when it comes to making dinner, it's actually just a matter of boiling some porridge, cold mixed with some mushrooms and vegetables, and simply passing away.

When Wen Tiantian left, she took the bun by the way, so Qiu Yan leaned on the bed alone in a daze.

As the days passed, he was so confused that he didn't know how many sunrises and moonsets he had survived outside.

After the end of that battle, he was left in exile and has not been heard from, and it is not known how much the situation between Korea and China has changed. At the moment, I was injured, and I thought about how I had to recuperate for ten days and a half before I could go out to investigate. During the small talk, he heard the girl say that this was not Dongshan, but he had never heard of the name of the place, and he did not know whether he was still in the territory of the dynasty.

The road ahead is unknown, and we can only take one step at a time.

Sitting on the small bench in the kitchen, Wen Tiantian shook her head and chatted with the dead ghost while boiling porridge.

"Girl, are you stupid, do you really believe him?" The dead ghost listened to the fact that the two of them signed the deed, and he was speechless, "This person obviously has some identity, you'd better stay away from him, the three taels of silver will be spent, and the most important thing is to live well without causing trouble, understand?" ”

Wen Tiantian grabbed a handful of chopped mushrooms and threw them into the pot to stir, rolled her eyes and said, "Why do you have to emphasize living well?" Maybe I'll be able to go back when I'm dead? Who is rare to hide in the ravine where you birds don't! ”

There is food, drink, wifi in her small rental house, heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, and when you are tired of eating snacks, you can order a takeout and deliver it to your doorstep. The days of ancient people seemed to be leisurely, and they spent all their time on such trivial matters, and they had to calculate their time carefully if they wanted to go out shopping.

"You must not die!" The dead ghost's voice suddenly became low, and he told very seriously, "Miss Wen, I know that it was my own selfishness to get you here without permission, but that can't be helped, I have a hard time!" ”

The dead ghost has always spoken in an indecent chatter tone, but suddenly becoming serious made Wen Tiantian's heart shock, and she felt a little strange, "Why are you suddenly so serious?" ”

I couldn't see the figure of the dead ghost, but I could hear a trace of sadness in her tone.

"Girl, I was seriously injured and was forced to live in seclusion here." She obviously also knew that the conditions in which she lived were not very good, and explained in a calm tone: "My soul was severely damaged that time, and it will not take ten years for my soul to shatter and dissipate, even if my body is still alive, it is just a shell. ”

"But I once had a ten-year covenant with a man who couldn't die, so I found a way to replace you......"

Wen Tiantian listened silently, put out the fire, picked up a big spoon and filled a bowl of porridge, drinking and listening to the story.

"You're all dead, what bullshit do you care about?"

"What is a bullshit convention? Keep your mouth clean! The dead ghost seemed a little excited, "Everything in this world is suffering, but that person is special, and I can't break the covenant with him." ”

A man's mouth is a deceitful ghost, Wen Tiantian is a person who has been beaten by society, she knows that unless it is written in black and white, no matter how deep the mountain alliance and sea oath are, it will only disappear after turning around, who takes who seriously, but it is just a trick to deceive people.

"Yes, you didn't miss the appointment, but isn't it a deception to get me in your place? I don't want to deceive people if I miss the appointment, tsk, this is not good! Wen Tiantian shook her head, disapproving of this approach, "In case the conscience of the person you are thinking about finds out and comes back to you, but you only have a shell left for others, and there is a replacement inside, what kind of stupidity does that guy have to be to find out?" ”

There is another sentence that comes to the mouth but is not spoken, in fact, everyone understands the truth that people cannot be resurrected after death, and no one will blame a dead person for not keeping the agreement, she does it completely unnecessary!

"Girl, you don't understand."

The dead ghost sighed and disappeared.

Wen Tiantian knew that she was gone again, and touched her nose boredly, "If you can't say anything clearly, just slip away, scumbag!" ”

After drinking the porridge in the bowl, feeling that it was already eight points full, Wen Tiantian stretched out with satisfaction, and took a clean big bowl to hold the rest of the porridge and sent it to Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan, who was waiting for dinner, was still very obedient, not picky at all, and had a good appetite to drink a large bowl of porridge, and took a few pills with porridge water.

"You lie down, I'll go change the dressing for the buns." Wen Tiantian put away the dishes and chopsticks, helped him lie down and covered the quilt, "Sleep honestly at night and beware of wounds." There is pain relief in the medicine you just took, and it won't be uncomfortable after the effect of the medicine will take place, sleep peacefully, and I'll come back tomorrow morning to change the medicine for you. ”

Qiu Yan snorted, "I know, you should rest early." ”

"Good night."

After coming out, Wen Tiantian was too lazy to clean up the kitchen, turned back to the bedroom to change the medicine for the buns, and then took the little guy in his arms and sat on the bamboo chair in the courtyard to watch the stars.

Somehow, she was a little insomnia today, she didn't want to go back to bed to sleep, and her mind was full of dead ghost words.

Today's dead ghost's different emotions from usual are enough to show that she attaches great importance to that ten-year covenant, even more than life and death.

But she didn't understand, what could make people feel more important than life and death?

As a modern person, he has long been accustomed to the indifference between people, and Wen Tiantian feels that he is completely unable to understand the persistence of the ancients in contracts.

Convention, is it important?

The deed in her arms was still neatly stacked, but she didn't think that this thing could really restrain Qiu Yan, a man with strong blood, here. A small mountain, such an isolated life is certainly free, but there is no one to talk to, and the loneliness is indescribable.

The bun formed a circle in her arms, the little head shrunk in the placket of her chest, sleeping soundly, the soft little guy was like a hand warmer, giving her a little warmth in the cool late autumn.

Time flies very slowly in the mountains, watching the sun rise every day, waiting for the moon to climb the branches, and Wen Tiantian's life gradually has a regularity.

Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning, then get up and wash up to change Qiu Yan's dressing, and by the way, heat last night's leftovers for breakfast. I had a meal at noon, and when I woke up in the afternoon, I sat in the courtyard and embroidered small flowers on my clothes while basking in the sun. In the evening, I chatted casually with Qiu Yan for a while, then changed the medicine for the buns, went back to wash and sleep.

Look, traversing life is so simple and leisurely, there is no sudden wind and rain in the TV series at all, and even the weather is clear and you can't see a few clouds.

Wen Tiantian is very satisfied with her salted fish life, such a day is different from the various messy tasks in the novel, and the requirements of the dead ghost are so low that they can be summed up in just two words: alive.

That's right, just don't die!

It just so happens that Wen Tiantian is also a lazy terminal cancer, she can lie down at home without sitting, she can sit and never stand, except for the occasional visit to the grove and the bazaar under the mountain, she often lies down at home all day, that is, she is scolded by the dead ghost ten times lazy pig, twenty times waste, she is also indifferent, happy and comfortable.

Qiu Yan's injuries recovered very quickly, and in less than a month, the wounds on her body had basically healed, and although her face was still wrapped in bandages, as long as she usually paid attention to some gauze, there would be no more blood oozing out.

"You're in good shape! Looks like I'm going to have to hurry up and prepare a scar removal ointment and apply it before the wound heals completely, and this face may be saved. ”

Wen Tiantian sat on the small bench and stared at half of his injured face, secretly wondering in her heart. During this time, she became more and more proficient in changing dressings, helping him wrap the wounds on his face in three or two clicks, and chatting briskly.

"I see that you have no big problem walking now, start working tomorrow, rest when you are tired, don't force it. With a simple exercise, your body can recover faster. ”

Of course, Qiu Yan knew that he had been lying for more than half a month, and his physical strength would inevitably decline, so he nodded without hesitation, and did not look embarrassed at all. He also wants to do some rehab training, get better sooner so that he can do more and not be too passive.

Wen Tiantian saw that he had a good temper and was very docile, and while he was pleased, he secretly swore that he would never let himself become a bad boss who oppressed employees, and he had to treat others well!

So, the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, the kitchen was already cooking on the fire.

Wen Tiantian was sleeping soundly, still the bun in her arms was smart, her little nose smelled the fragrant smell, and immediately ran out of the quilt and ran towards the kitchen.

"Baozi, where are you going?"

Wen Tiantian rubbed her eyes, her messy hair was draped behind her, she took a coat and wrapped it around her body, and followed the bun out of the bedroom leisurely.

"Qiu Yan? How did you get up? ”

The sleepy-eyed Wen Tiantian stood at the door of the kitchen, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the man in front of the stove wearing an apron and holding a frying spoon in surprise. There are already three plates on the small table next to it, containing fried steamed buns, cold wild vegetables, and neatly chopped fruit platters.

"Didn't you tell me to start working today last night? So I got up a little early to make breakfast, I wonder if these are to your liking? ”

Combine! Absolutely!

Wen Tiantian couldn't believe that the messy things piled up in the small kitchen could be turned into such a rich meal in the hands of a big man, and Chef Qiu's craftsmanship really impressed her!

"Huh? What are buns eating? ”
