Chapter Twenty-Three: See Bi Niang
According to the appointment made the day before, on the second day, Ji Guangnian and Starry Night went to the Baodian shop to explore the bottom of Bi Niang.
The sky was clear, and before the two of them walked to the shop, they saw Bi Niang digging something under the kapok tree in front of the shop.
"I've been waiting for you for many days, but it's here!"
"What is this doing?" Starry Night asked.
"Wait, it'll be right away."
Starry Night stood aside, Ji Guangnian squatted on the ground, and after a while, several jars were exposed.
Starry Night's eyes lit up, "Bi Niang, you were digging wine?" ”
Bi Niang smiled: "The wine made last year was full of three jars. ”
The three of them carried the wine jar back to the house, and the three wine bowls brought by Bi Niang were lined up one after another, and the overflowing aroma of wine instantly filled the whole room.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome."
The full amount of wine juice swayed and even overflowed in Ji Guangnian's hand, and she didn't care about the coolness on the back of her hand, so she took a sip first.
"How does it taste?"
"It's delicious, I like this sweet and sour taste the most."
Starry Night praised: "Indeed. Xingye also praised, "There is a sour refreshment in the sweetness, and Bi Niang is really blessed!" ”
"If you like it."
Not long after, Bi Niang's voice came again, "Have you drunk it?" Drink well and begin! ”
"Do what?"
Both the light year and the starry night are puzzled.
Bi Niang showed a strange expression, "Didn't you come to me to learn how to make osmanthus cakes?" ”
"Hahaha, the wine brewed by Bi Niang is so delicious, I forgot that we came to learn to make osmanthus cakes."
"yes, yes......"
Half an hour later.
"Eighth Senior Brother? Are you here to learn how to make pastries or to sleep? ”
Ji Guangnian, who came out of the kitchen, looked at the starry night lying on the table, and woke him up angrily.
"How?" Starry Night opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "Is there a catch?" ”
"What a harvest!" Ji Guangnian sighed, "The production of pastries can make different tastes with different ingredients and different proportions, and I have been taught!" ”
"Who asked you this? What are the takeaways from the case? ”
"Facts of the case...... Ah," she sneered, "I didn't ask, I don't know how to speak, my cannibalistic hands are short, it's really hard to ask......"
"Foodie!" The fan in his hand also knocked on her head.
Ji Guang Chronology protested: "Knocking on the head will make you stupid!" Besides, you're embarrassed to say me? Who let you sleep here! ”
"Bi Niang is still in the kitchen?"
"I'm watching the fire."
"I'll see you later! You cooperate with me. ”
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you."
When the two came to the kitchen, Bi Niang was adding firewood to the stove, the sound of the firewood bursting crackled, Xingye gritted his teeth, and opened his mouth to call the word Bi Niang, Bi Niang had raised his head and looked at him with a smile: "It's not good yet!" Let's go out and wait for a while, it's almost there. ”
Looking at such a Bi Niang, Xingye couldn't say anything more, and the words blurted out unprecedentedly, "I seem to smell the fragrance." After that, he hurriedly pulled Ji Guangnian out of the kitchen.
"yes, yes, I can't ask!"
"This hesitant temperament must have been led astray by you."
Ji Guangnian: "......"
Ten minutes later, Bi Niang brought out the steamed pastry, and the steaming steam wafted in with the fragrance of osmanthus cake.
"It smells so good!" Ji Guangnian got up.
"It's just steamed, it's hot, be careful..."
I don't know if it's an illusion, Bi Niang said the last two words, and her voice was a little trembling.
Ji Guangnian subconsciously looked at her, but saw that the veil on her face had been torn off by the starry night.
The dense black-brown lines spread on the left side of the face like earthworms, and the word ugly can be spoken.
At this time, Bi Niang's face was frightened, and she screamed when Ji Guangnian's eyes crashed into her eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Starry Night didn't know what kind of mood he was in to speak, "We're here to investigate the case this time, your face......"
"You go...... You go...... I don't want to see you! Come on...... Let's go~"
Bi Niang was even more excited, crying and shouting, like crazy, unable to control her emotions.
"Bi Niang."
Ji Guangnian called her worriedly.
Bi Niang still didn't listen, just covered her left cheek and kept repeating those four words.
"Don't look at me, don't look at me......"
Starry Night Mo frowned deeply, he thought about many reactions when Bi Niang's veil was lifted, but he missed this.
Seeing that Bi Niang was like a nobody on weekdays, he thought that Bi Niang's disfigurement was a deception to them, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and he had never seen a woman crying so heartbreakingly.
"Bi Niang......" Xingye wanted to say something, Ji Guangnian touched his elbow and shook his head.
It is not suitable to ask her before Bi Niang calms down, and all remarks may cause her excesses.
Starry Night stopped talking, the two of them just stood in place, and Bi Niang sat on the ground dejectedly, her hands and knees shrunk together, and the face buried in her knees couldn't see her face clearly, but she kept crying.
Bi Niang cried for a long time, and her voice slowly decreased, and in the end, only the sobbing sound that could not be stopped remained.
Starry Night looked at Ji Guangnian and signaled with his eyes, he couldn't just wait stupidly and do nothing!
Ji Guangnian gave him a slightly calming look, pondered for a moment, and then said to Bi Niang: "Actually, your face is not disfigured, and it can be restored to its original appearance, but someone has cast a spell on your face." ”
Hearing this, Bi Niang finally had some reaction, she rubbed her red and swollen eyes with her knees, the sobbing sound was still the same, and her voice was hoarse, "Xing Yao said the same thing, and I have lived a good life this year thanks to this sentence." ”
"Do you know Xingyao?" Starry Night asked.
"To be precise, it was Xingyao who saved me."
"Bi Niang, can you trust us?" Starry Night slowly enlightened her, "Only by telling us how these brinkles on your face came from can we find the root cause and then find a way to restore you to normal." ”
"That's right. Ji Guangnian also said softly, "This is just a spell, in fact, it can be restored to normal, but you have to tell us what's going on, so we can prescribe the right medicine." ”
"Give me back the veil."
Bi Niang, who put on the veil again, sat down around the table with Ji Guangnian and Starry Night, and slowly told her past.
