Chapter 40: The Housemaid, the Palace Embroidery Painting (Seeking Follow-up)
Outside the mountain temple, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was obvious that the downpour had gradually overwhelmed, and the howling night wind was blowing outside the door.
Whoa, whoa, whoa—
The torrential rain crackled on the tiles, stone bricks, and hats.
- Under the torrential rain, he faintly saw two points of red.
Chu Zige was completely confused by this blunt answer, didn't he know that she was undressing? What is this little story after the rain?
There was a thin rustling sound behind him, followed by the sound of throwing clothes, and a few drops of cold rain seeped into Chu Zige's neck.
He calmed his thoughts, coughed lightly, and spoke:
"That girl...... Naturally, I know you're undressing. ”
"But in this world, lonely men and widows, dark and windy nights...... Strangers may not all have the style of a gentleman, of course, Chu is naturally a gentleman, but the girl should pay attention to some as well......"
As he spoke, he furrowed his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and then a pair of bare feet came into Chu Zige's sight.
Stomp –
There are still some crystal raindrops on the slender calves, a wisp of green silk extends along the ankle to the Achilles tendon, the round and jade toes leave a series of footprints on the bluestone slab bricks, and the crimson glow on the slightly forward-leaning soles under the red bonfire......
Chu Zige's gaze went all the way up along the slightly curved arch of his foot...... It's a plain white gown with patches, and I don't know if it's a sense of loss for a while, and it comes to my heart.
Xue Li's hands held the wet belly pocket and socks and other miscellaneous items that she had taken off, and placed them neatly next to the bonfire, and then her white hair curled slightly, as if she had made a puzzled move, and looked at Chu Zige calmly:
"Pay attention to what."
"Hmm...... It's nothing. ”
Chu Zige shook his head a little embarrassedly, threw the clothes on his body aside, and rubbed his hands.
After a while, hunger began to feel in his belly, and he took out a rabbit from the ring that had been processed and set it on the fire.
It caught fire and made a sizzling sound of oil.
The aroma overflowed, and gradually spread throughout the mountain temple.
Xue Li clasped her hands on her knees, staring at the fire in front of her expressionlessly, the golden light lined her skin white, her skin rolled and burned, blowing and breaking, faintly visible, there was a light red in it, which was condensing and thickening.
Chu Zige noticed that her hands were not as delicate as the other immortal cultivators he had ever seen, they were covered with calluses, which were the traces left by the grinding of different sword hilts all the time.
What is the origin of this woman? What is the purpose of approaching oneself?
He pondered with a solemn expression.
Perhaps because of his cultivation, Chu Zige had an excellent grasp of fire, he tore the rabbit in half, thought about it, and handed it over:
"Well, do you want to eat it?"
Xue Li was not polite, took the rabbit and stuffed it into her mouth, and at an angle that Chu Zige couldn't see, her eyes flickered a little brighter.
"How? How does my roasted rabbit taste? ”
Chu Zige pursed his mouth, crossed his legs, wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, and asked casually.
Xue Li stopped chewing and blinked twice quickly, as if thinking about something...... Or for her, she didn't understand the meaning of the sentence 'how does it taste' in Chu Zige's mouth.
After a few breaths, perhaps after much thought, she spoke:
"You can eat it."
Can be eaten!?
Chu Zige only felt that the corners of his mouth were a little twitching, if it was delicious, he would say that it was delicious, and if it was not delicious, he would say that it was not delicious, what kind of answer was this? The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth!?
He patted his head, sighed, and asked again:
"You can definitely eat it, I didn't ask if you can eat it, I asked if you can eat it......"
Xue Li's white hair scattered behind her back shook impatiently, she opened her eyes, tilted her head, looked at the rabbit in her hand, and then looked at Chu Zige, and after a few breaths, she replied affirmatively:
"I'm full."
Chu Zige: "?? ”
His brow furrowed, his eyes narrowed, and he carefully observed the subtle expression on the cheek of the woman in front of him to make sure that she was not playing with what she meant, but really did not understand her own words...... What if she doesn't have basic common sense, but she knows how to wear clothes?
This time, after pondering for a while, he spoke tentatively:
"That Xueli girl, I mean, this rabbit, do you think it's salty or light...... Well, I mean the feeling you put in your mouth. ”
The few strands of white hair hanging from Xueli's back shook violently, but there was no expression on his face, and he tilted his head slightly to the left, confirming that there were no salty words in his mind, and said with great certainty:
"Won't be hungry."
Hearing her answer, Chu Zige's expression was slightly solemn, and there was something wrong with the woman in front of him...... I'm afraid that no one has taught her these common senses at all, and it seems that in her eyes, there is no taste for the word food, only hunger.
If you could describe it in one word...... He could only think of two words – machine.
"No matter what...... When you get to the city, just get rid of her as soon as possible......"
Chu Zige thought so in his heart.
......
Wolongyuan, more than a thousand miles outside Cangshui City.
Above the sky, a vermilion figure slowly landed on the ground.
Nan Ji frowned and stared carefully at everything around her, and finally, her gaze fell on a water pavilion attic.
Then he held his breath and walked into it slowly.
In the attic, behind the screen, the red candles are red, and the candlelight is reflected on the screen.
A woman was lying lazily on the bed, one jade arm supporting the head of the mantis, the brocade quilt was covered to the waist, showing that she was wearing a green neon dress, lazy and indifferent, with a smile on her pretty face, flipping through a romance novel.
There was a low table on the brocade, and the melon and fruit wine were placed, and her other hand was twisting the grapes from the table, tasting them very leisurely, and her eyes were full of autumn waves, glancing out of the window.
"Giggle......
As if to see the highlights, her toes were clasped in the brocade quilt and she was rolling all over the bed.
Suddenly, her eyes looked impatiently at the ceiling, and she lazily turned over, revealing a pair of slender and round legs, and sighed:
"Feng Xiao'er, this seat is all at home and can't come out, what are you doing here?"
"You can't be trying to steal my book, are you?"
“......”
At noon, it was particularly delicate, and the room was sprinkled with golden red through the sunken wooden pavilion window.
She flicked her fingers, and the aura gently pushed open the sunken wooden partition window, and a ray of sunlight poured in, and the breeze blew the fine veil on her face, overwhelming the country and the city.
Then Nan Ji appeared in front of her so suddenly, leaning on the chair casually, the collar of the vermilion gauze was slightly open, and although there was a bandeau tied to the chest, the two dumplings were huddled together unscrupulously.
The hills and ravines are slightly exposed, and they are extremely deep.
Nan Ji's phoenix eyes stared at her, and then took out a jade box from his pocket and said coldly:
"Palace embroidery painting, this ambergris, explain!!"
