The sky was getting dark, and the smoke was curling.

In the kitchen, Ming Wenbai squatted in front of the stove, and for a while he didn't add firewood to the stove, his mind was all on the lotus flower in charge.

Outstanding appearance, gentle personality, generous manners, excellent temperament, and good cooking. I have to say that the lotus really completely satisfies the fantasy of his wife in his heart.

"If only I could marry her home." Ming Wenbai stared at the pretty figure of the lotus flower and muttered in his mouth.

"Huh?" Lotus raised her eyes with a little doubt on her face, "What did you say?" ”

Only then did Ming Wenbai come back to his senses, facing the confused and clear eyes of the lotus, his face, which was as thick as the city wall in the past, turned red, and he said, "No, nothing." ”

Hearing this, Lotus smiled softly, "Maybe I misheard." By the way, are you feeling better? Are you sure you're okay? ”

"Well, nothing at all." Ming Wenbai enjoyed the care of the lotus, secretly refreshed, and said secretly: "She has been coming to Xuanzhen Temple for five days, and she must have this question every day for these five days, does it mean that she actually cares about me very much and has a little meaning to me?" ”

Actually, if you think about it seriously, it doesn't seem to be a surprise that Lotus likes him.

After all, he is not only handsome, but also has a good family background, and it is too normal to be favored by lotus!

In this way, he and Lotus are completely in love!

Ming Wenbai became excited, his eyes were a little more eager when he looked at the lotus, and he was about to open his mouth to pierce this layer of window paper, when he saw Qi Qi walking in.

She didn't even look at the lotus, and said to Ming Wenbai: "Come out." ”

Ming Wenbai was dissatisfied, but when he saw Qiqi's impatient look, he didn't dare to have any objections, "oh", got up and said to the lotus: "I'll be back soon." ”

Lotus smiled and nodded, took the firewood in his hand very good-natured, and said softly: "It's okay, if there is anything urgent, you can go first." I can handle it alone. ”

Ming Wenbai said "yes", and obediently got up and followed Qiqi out.

The lotus watched the two leave, her eyes heavy, and the glow of the fire in the stove fell on her eyes, reflecting a little bit of faint luster.

Yard rockery.

Ming Wenbai glanced at Qi Qi and asked cautiously, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Qi Qi looked directly at him and asked lightly, "What abnormal behavior has Liang Xingyang had recently?" ”

"Nope." Ming Wenbai shook his head without thinking, "In addition to eating and sleeping every day, he stays in the front yard hall and reads, and there is no abnormal behavior." ”

Hearing this, Qi Qi frowned slightly, recalling that in the early morning of the past few days, she bumped into the scene of Liang Xingyang practicing swords, and always felt that something was wrong. If there is nothing abnormal about him, why has his skill suddenly improved a lot in the past few days?

Qi Qi wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a while, but he didn't have any clue, so he could only order him to continue to monitor Liang Xingyang.

Ming Wenbai responded, and promised unashamedly: "No problem, you can rest assured to go to the village to find the five-color stone, Liang Xingyang has me watching here, as soon as there is any abnormality, I will notify you immediately." ”

"Hmm." Qi Qi nodded, his eyes did not fluctuate, he fell on her calmly, and his voice was faint, "Do a good job, after the matter is done, I will not treat you badly." ”

Hearing this, Ming Wenbai pretended to be flattered and nodded hurriedly.

Qi Qi glanced at him, didn't say anything, and turned around and left.

Ming Wenbai stood still and did not move, until Qiqi's figure disappeared completely, he breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and walked up to find the lotus flower to show his heart.

I never thought that after walking two steps, I ran into the three of Nerd, Chaos, and Jiang Lianshan.

Looking at the familiar smiles of the three people, Mingwen Baimu had a wooden face, and before the three of them could speak, he stretched out his hand and took the first step and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it, I completely understand." ”

After that, he took out the few pieces of silver left from the storage bag and handed it to the three of them, and said expressionlessly: "Don't make a noise about today's affairs." ”

The three of them took the silver with a smile and promised, "Don't worry, we will never say it." ”

Ming Wenbai let out a faint "um", raised his steps and continued to walk forward, walked two or three steps, couldn't help but glance back at the three of them, and complained: "Have the three of you been secretly spying on me?" ”

Why did every time he reported information to Qiqi, the three of them could find him accurately and take the opportunity to ask for "hush money"?

The book thought for a while and guessed, "Perhaps, this is fate." ”

Ming Wenbai was speechless for a moment, then looked at Chaos, frowned, and said: "Scholar and Jiang Lianshan are like brothers, the two stay together all the time, I can understand." But what about you, when did you have such a good relationship with them, and you were inseparable all day long? ”

As a majestic beast, wouldn't you feel ashamed to follow the two of them to do such an unseemly thing as robbing while the fire is burning?

The reputation of the beast is about to be ruined by him!

Hearing his words, Chaos said: "I hit it off with the bookworm and Lianshan, can't I? ”

The bookworm chimed in: "That's right. When I saw Ah Zhuan, it was like seeing a relative! Although we are not family, we are better than family! ”

Jiang Lianshan nodded vigorously on the side, completely agreeing with the two of them.

Seeing that the three of them looked like two good brothers, eager to wear the same pair of pants, the corners of Ming Wenbai's mouth twitched twice, touched a storage bag, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." I hope I don't see you again next time. ”

After finishing his sentence, he walked away quickly.

The three of them looked at each other, looked at the silver in their hands, and couldn't help laughing.

After worrying all the way, I finally returned to the kitchen safely and smoothly. Looking at the slender figure who was busy on the stove, Ming Wenbai swept away his previous depression, smiled on his face, walked over quickly, and said softly: "I'm back." ”

Lotus raised her head, glanced at him, and greeted with a smile: "It's just right, the meal is ready, you hurry up and wash your hands, take the food out, and get ready to eat." ”

Such plain homely words, coupled with her soft tone, are invisibly a little more intimate, as if the two are a newlywed couple, living a calm and stable daily life.

Ming Wenbai's heart fluttered, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, and he couldn't help but hold her hand in the eyes of the lotus flower with a slightly puzzled look, "Lotus girl, I, I like you." ”

The lotus flower was stunned, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

Air, almost stagnant.

The lotus fingers tightened imperceptibly, and then let go, and after a long while, she suddenly broke away from his hand as if she had just woken up, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Ming, don't be joking." ”

"I'm not kidding, I really like you." Ming Wenbai's eyes were hot, and he said with a serious expression: "For you, I am willing to do anything!" I—I want to marry you! ”

Facing his burning gaze, Lotus subconsciously wanted to escape, but Ming Wenbai didn't give her a chance to escape at all.

"You...... Will you marry me? ”

The lotus opened her mouth, did not make a sound, and only stood silently, looking at the young man in front of her without a trace.

Seeing his stubborn face, she knew that if she didn't give him an explanation, then the matter would not be over.

After pondering for a moment, she spoke: "It's getting late, Brother Liang, they are waiting for dinner......

When Ming Wenbai heard this, he smiled on his face, frowned unconsciously, and just wanted to say that let them starve, if they don't eat a meal, they won't die of hunger, when they heard the lotus flower continue: "After dinner, I'll give you an answer, okay?" ”

"Okay, fine, no problem." Ming Wenbai smiled again on his face and said, "I'll go and call them to eat now." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the lotus to answer, he couldn't wait to run.

“…… Well. ”

The lotus flower responded gently to the empty kitchen, the pupils were pitch black, like a deep pool that could devour people's hearts, and the eye waves flowed, but there was no longer the previous charm and softness, but the sharp and cold hardness of the sword out of the sheath.

Thinking that he would be able to hug his sweetheart into his arms later, during the meal, Ming Wenbai couldn't help laughing several times, which attracted the sideways glances of Liang Xingyang and several others.

Liang Xingyang looked at him with a foolish smile, and somehow, suddenly remembered that the last time he met Qi Qi in the middle of the night, he wanted to steal jade and steal incense, but in the end he was pressed and beaten by Qi Qi, paused slightly, he glanced at the lotus with an indifferent face without a trace, and pretended to be curious and asked Ming Wenbai, "Xiaowen, you seem to be in a very good mood today, have you encountered anything good?" ”

When the words fell, in addition to the lotus, the poor and the few people looked at Ming Wenbai one after another, not hiding their curiosity.

"No, nothing." Ming Wenbai subconsciously glanced at the lotus, forcibly lowered the corners of his upturned mouth, waved his hand and said: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, I'll tell you when it's done." ”

When Liang Xingyang heard this, he said "oh" and didn't ask any more.

You look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to think, with a tacit smile on their faces.

After the meal, everyone sat in the courtyard to cool off.

Liang Xingyang suddenly sat up straight, slapped his head, and said in a lost voice: "Oops! I forgot to do my homework today, and I forgot to calculate tomorrow's bad luck! I'm going to the front yard hall to make up for the class, you guys rest early, don't wait for me. ”

After throwing down such a sentence, he left in a hurry.

Qi Qi sneered and said: "As far as his ability to ten hexagrams and nine inaccurate ones is concerned, it is also for nothing." However, how could I miss the opportunity for ridicule that he took the initiative to send to the door? ”

With that, he got up and walked out.

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and the bookworm was about to say a few words, when he saw that Chaos seemed to think of something important, his eyes widened, and he let out an "ah".

Several people present couldn't help but look sideways.

I saw that Chaos' face was full of embarrassment, and he apologized to Jiang Lianshan: "Lianshan, I seem to have forgotten to collect the herbs you dried in the front yard for you......"

"What?" Jiang Lianshan was anxious, "The dew is heavy at night, and if those medicinal herbs are wet, they will be useless!" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't care much, got up and ran out.

The bookworm and chaos hurriedly followed, shouting: "Lianshan, slow down, don't worry, we'll help you!" ”

As the footsteps faded away, the backyard quickly returned to calm, leaving only Ming Wenbai and Lotus.

The eyes of the two inadvertently collided, and they were stunned, and they quickly opened their eyes, full of discomfort.

Ming Wenbai scratched his head, worried that Liang Xingyang and the others would come back halfway and interrupt his good deeds, so he proposed: "Let's go to the house and talk?" ”

"Well, that's fine." The lotus flower responds softly.
