In the World Chapter 6 Complicity
"Ziqian ......" Dugu Zhishui silently recited the name and smiled brightly, "Very nice name, my name is Dugu Zhishui, please advise." ”
"Hmm" the girl replied softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
Dugu Zhishui's family lived at the head of the village, and they arrived after walking through those magnolias.
"Grandpa" Dugu Zhishui shouted loudly outside the door, attracting the attention of the other doorman Zhang Erye, who was drinking tea in front of the door. "Why did you go? Your grandfather seems to have gone to the Holy Mountain just now, you can wait a minute. Hey, whose girl is this? She's so handsome. Zhang Erye leaned on a recliner, holding a beautifully made porcelain tea bowl in his hand, looking quite leisurely, he saw that the girl next to Dugu Zhishui was extremely beautiful, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but after a while, he was a little puzzled, "Huh? I remember that there doesn't seem to be this girl in our village?"
Ziqian seemed to be a little reluctant to see strangers, hiding behind Dugu Zhishui without saying a word, Dugu Zhishui smiled apologetically to Second Master Zhang, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Zhang, Ziqian was rescued from outside, she was a little frightened and didn't want to see the living." ”
"What, kid who stopped the water, are you out of the Pure Land?", Second Master Zhang sat up straight, "If you let your grandfather know, he will definitely worry about you, it's too dangerous outside, the uncles and uncles in the village don't dare to go out casually, you're still young, you can't run out in the future." Do you know?" Second Master Zhang's admonition was very sincere, he grew up watching Zhishui grow up, and he really regarded Zhishui as his grandson.
Dugu Zhishui turned to face Zhang Erye and said:
"Grandpa Zhang, I won't be in the future, you can rest assured. ”
"My son, why is this child covered in blood? What's wrong with her?" At this moment, Second Master Zhang suddenly saw Ziqian's blood-soaked clothes on his side, and immediately got up in shock.
It turned out that the bloodstains on Dugu Zhishui and Ziqian's body were just blocked because of the standing posture, and as soon as Dugu Zhishui turned around, the bloodstains on Ziqian's body were suddenly revealed.
"Oh, it's okay, this is not Ziqian's blood, Grandpa Zhang doesn't need to panic. Dugu Zhishui hurriedly explained.
He gently placed Ziqian on the stone steps in front of the door, let her lean against the door frame, and then he ran to the water tank in the courtyard to pick a lotus leaf, and used this lotus leaf to fill Ziqian with some water that she had brought from the holy pond at the foot of the holy mountain yesterday. These lotus leaves are usually held as treasures, but this time it is because he is afraid that Ziqian will think that his bowl is dirty, so he can't bear to cut his love.
Gently sent one side of the lotus leaf to Ziqian's mouth, she opened her small mouth very cooperatively this time and took two sips, in fact, Dugu Zhishui guessed that she was really thirsty. After drinking the water, Ziqian's pale face suddenly improved a little, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
As if seeing her doubts, Dugu Zhishui explained: "This is not ordinary water, this is the holy water that flows down from the holy mountain of our Pure Land, and drinking this water often can prolong life and eliminate all diseases. People in our village usually drink this kind of water, so there are many centenarians in the village, among which my grandfather is the oldest, he is already one hundred and fifty-six years old. Speaking of this, Dugu Zhishui's expression darkened.
Although it was only for a moment, Ziqian still clearly captured the change in Dugu Zhishui's expression, and she nodded thoughtfully.
"Stop the water, why are you willing to fold your precious lotus leaves today, this little girl is really not small. Zhang Erye looked at Zhishui's courteous appearance and couldn't help but quip.
"How can there be", Dugu Zhishui blushed and replied hesitantly, "Girls love cleanliness more, I ...... We didn't have a new bowl at home, so we had to use this. Dugu Zhishui raised the lotus leaf in his hand.
Zi Qian glanced at him secretly, and there seemed to be a faint flush on her face.
After feeding Ziqian and drinking water, Dugu Zhishui hurriedly returned to the house and changed his clothes. Because of the Ziqian on his back, his clothes were already stained red with blood.
Looking at the bloodied girl in front of her, Dugu Zhishui was a little helpless, so she could only run to the third aunt's house next door and borrow a dress from her daughter Erya.
When Dugu Zhishui appeared in front of Ziqian with a suit of clothes, she quietly hugged her chest, and there was a threat in her eyes. Dugu Zhishui was speechless for a while, was she afraid that she would be rude to her? How old is this, just think about it in that direction, does she understand a little too much!
Dugu Zhishui shouted: "Erya, hurry up!" I saw a plainly dressed and handsome girl coming in a panic. Seeing the girl in front of her, Ziqian quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Brother Zhishui, this sister is so beautiful, where did you meet her?" Er Ya looked at Ziqian carefully and couldn't help but admire.
"Why are you asking so much, girl, hurry up and help her change her clothes. Dugu Zhishui pretended to be impatient.
Erya pursed her lips, "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and help this sister to the house, do you want to watch her change clothes?"
Dugu Zhishui smiled, is this girl paying homage to herself? He leaned down and picked up Ziqian and sent her into the house, but this time she didn't even have a little symbolic resistance, and Dugu Zhishui felt a little unaccustomed.
After drinking tea with Zhang Erye at the door, Dugu Zhishui only heard an old scolding voice coming from afar, "You stinky boy, what are you doing today......?
Dugu Zhishui's hand holding the tea bowl suddenly trembled, and he almost threw the bowl away, which frightened Zhang Erye for a while. These tea bowls are his treasures, if he is dropped by this kid like this, it is estimated that he will be distressed for several days.
Dugu Zhishui turned his head to look at his grandfather, smiling wryly but not daring to say a word. Old Dugu Bo swayed for a long time and rushed over, and as soon as they met, they scolded Dugu Zhishui.
"Grandpa, the ...... How do you know I'm out. Dugu Zhishui asked Old Dugu Bo with a smile.
"Hmph, I asked you for lunch but I couldn't find you anywhere, and the Pure Land is just a little bit of land, I don't know where. I don't know your boy's temperament, I think you're going to run away. My old man dragged this old bone for you on the holy mountain, I don't know how many kowtows, you little bastard......" Old Dugu Bo scolded and nagged for a while, and Dugu Zhishui stood aside and didn't dare to interject.
"You don't have missing arms or legs, right?" Dugu Bo asked angrily.
Hearing his words, Dugu Zhishui understood very well in his heart, the old man cared about himself but couldn't say it, usually the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren was so harmonious. Dugu Zhishui can take care of himself at a very young age, he rarely makes trouble for Dugu Bo, but this guy is very skinny, and often does some naughty things, for which the old Dugu Bo scolds him a lot, but he is still the bear, I do my own thing.
"Hehe, what can I do? Look, it's the same. Dugu Zhishui exaggerated and turned around twice in front of Dugu Bo, proving that his whole body was the same.
"Get out", Dugu Bo scolded with a smile, "Can you let me save more snacks." ”
Just as the grandfather and grandson were talking, the door opened, and the second girl helped Ziqian out. Dugu Zhishui's eyes suddenly lit up, the girl's messy hair had already been combed neatly, and three thousand green silks were casually draped on her chest. Although she was just wearing an ordinary coarse cloth shirt, she couldn't hide the girl's delicate face like a flower. For a while, the surrounding flowers and plants seemed to have lost their color, and the girl was like a proud flower, blooming alone in the barren world, independent and unstained with dust.
Old Dugu Bo snorted lightly, and pulled Dugu Zhishui, who was in a sluggish state, back to reality, Dugu Zhishui smiled awkwardly, and looked up at the sky.
"Pervert", Erya said with disdain, but she herself had to admit in her heart that this sister was indeed very charming, and she was a little jealous as a girl.
"Ahem, who is this girl?" Old Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Zhishui meaningfully, and his expression seemed to say: "Boy, where did you get such a beautiful little girl." ”
Dugu Zhishui said seriously: "Grandpa, I happened to save Ziqian when I was wandering outside, and she passed out at that time, so I brought her back." After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Dugu Bo.
"Oh, it turned out to be called Ziqian. Child, where is your home? How did you come to this vast mountain by yourself at such a young age? Did anyone else bring you here?" asked Ziqian kindly.
However, Ziqian only shook her head slightly, not knowing what it meant. Dugu Bo's eyes turned to Dugu Zhishui again, and asked him about the situation, Dugu Zhishui shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help.
Dugu Bo sighed lightly, "Child, since Zhishui has taken you in, then you can live in the village, there is a lake-center hut in the back mountain of our holy mountain, the environment is not bad, let Zhishui live there with you in the future." It's too dangerous outside, don't go out casually in the future, just wait for your family to pick you up in our village. ”
Zi Qian nodded lightly, and glanced at Dugu Zhishui by the way, with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.
Old Dugu Bo turned around and walked towards Zhang Erye, when he passed by Dugu Zhishui's side, a wicked smile appeared on the old man's face, and he whispered to Dugu Zhishui a little sneakily: "Stinky boy, I just said yesterday that I wanted you to find a daughter-in-law, but today you brought one back, you are so eager to prove that you have grown up......?"
The corners of Dugu Zhishui's mouth twitched, and he glared at Dugu Bo fiercely, but the old man didn't seem to see anything, and hummed a little song casually to find Zhang Erye to drink tea. "Disrespectful to the old!" Dugu Zhishui took a sip and turned his head to look at Ziqian, but found that she had blushed at some point, and her big watery eyes were staring at her coldly and fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him.
Dugu Zhishui suddenly shivered, his heart was a little weak, he quietly shifted his gaze, not daring to look at Ziqian, "Could it be that she heard our conversation? This is too perverted! This little aunt is really not easy to provoke!" Dugu Zhishui sighed in his heart, but he didn't know how many times he "greeted" the old Dugu Bo.
"Hey, you're stupid, what kind of expression do you have? One moment like crying and then another like laughing, you two didn't say anything good in that sneaky way. At this time, Erya who had not spoken spoke at this time, she was angry, and the two of them chatted with themselves and put her aside, which made her very unhappy.
Dugu Zhishui pursed his lips, and thought to himself: "This girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she knows me and my grandfather too well, and I have to let her have less contact with Ziqian in the future." With her shrewd and careful thinking, Ziqian stayed with her for a long time and was bound to be damaged. Thinking of this, Dugu Zhishui nodded secretly.
"Ahem" Dugu Zhishui coughed dryly twice, and then tried to squeeze out a smile, "Erya, don't you slander good people, how can a noble person like me do bad things behind others' backs?"
"Cut, if you are a good person, then the good people in this world will die. We grew up together, don't I know you yet?" After finishing speaking, Er Ya whispered beside Ziqian, and Dugu Zhishui's eyes were on fire.
"I really can't let them get together......"
