Chapter 5: Know how to measure
At dinner time, when Shen Li mentioned to Hongdou's A-Niang that he wanted to stay here for a longer time, Hongdou Niang nodded enthusiastically and agreed.
"Since the village chief has promised to keep you, then you don't have to worry about anything in the future. You can stay here for as long as you want, you're welcome!"
Shen Li nodded and expressed his gratitude. He fell off the cliff and had nothing of value on his body, and the only piece of jade pendant he wore close to his body could not be handed over. So now I can only say thank you, and take the initiative to do things as a reward.
"Ah, yes. You stay here, and when you see each other often in the future, you will be polite to call your aunt. I see, you can call me Aunt Gui. ”
"Well, thank you, Aunt Gui. ”
Sure enough, it is one side of the water and soil that raises one side of the people, this broken cloud abyss is isolated from the world, and the folk customs are as simple as the night country. They never defend themselves and always maintain the purest trust. This made Shen Li quite touched, no wonder Yan'er's eyes were full of envy and longing from the moment she stepped into the Night Kingdom. It's a pity that she was concerned about the little princess at that time, so she had no intention of being nostalgic. Now that he inadvertently broke into this broken cloud abyss, it was like a special arrangement by God.
"Girl, why are you so quiet for dinner today?"
Aunt Gui glanced at the little black girl sitting on the side with dishes and chopsticks silently picking up rice, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and joke. Helplessly, the little black girl seemed to think of something, and she didn't react. Later, Aunt Gui couldn't stand it anymore, so she reached out and pinched her little face fiercely, so that she could breathe out of pain.
"Ouch! Ouch, what are you doing?"
Hongdou put down the dishes and chopsticks, covered her pinched little face and glared at Aunt Gui angrily. Unexpectedly, Aunt Gui's eyes were bigger than hers, and she said angrily: "You still dare to stare at me? It's not delicious to eat, what do you think about being so distracted? I have called you several times but there is no response." ”
Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Li, who was sitting opposite him eating quietly, and instantly turned red again.
Aunt Gui's eyes were sharp, and she was a person who came over again, and when she saw this situation, she immediately threw away the dishes and chopsticks and made a serious face.
"Come over to me!"
Hongdou was a little inexplicable, but A-Niang called her, and she naturally stood up and walked over.
Outside the door, as soon as Aunt Gui saw Hongdou coming out, she immediately dragged her next door and said angrily: "Girl, I know that Ah Sangongzi is really good-looking, and it is normal for girls to be hooked." A-Niang doesn't want to blame you for anything, but others don't know, don't you know? You, give me a dead heart earlier. ”
Red Beans was confused when she heard it, and her little head was full of question marks. When Aunt Gui saw her stupidity, she thought she didn't understand, so she couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said seriously: "Girl, A-Niang is from here, so some things are more thorough and clear than you have to see." A-Niang can see that the third son of Ah is definitely in love with the Weiyang girl, don't you see his eyes? What a cold person, as long as he looks at the Weiyang girl, his face is like the melting ice, his face is full of tenderness. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Gui reached out and hugged the red beans, and changed her tone to a comforting tone. "A-Niang used to always say that you were a coal ball, black and stupid. A-Niang is not a joke for you, which mother will dislike her child for being ugly? A-Niang, I think the red beans are actually very beautiful, how cute the black ones are, and how attractive they are. ”
"Really?"
Hongdou's thinking jumped, and when he heard someone praise him, he immediately smiled.
"Well, of course it's true!" Aunt Gui nodded seriously, "However, you have to be a man of proportions." That Ah San Gongzi is too far away from you, you better give up earlier. ”
"What are you talking about?"
After hearing the end, Hongdou finally understood what Aunt Gui was talking about. couldn't help but purse his lips, with a speechless expression.
"I don't like the third brother! Auntie, you always say I'm stupid, but I'm stupid, and I'm not blind. The third brother is so gentle and considerate to Sister Weiyang, I can see it clearly. Besides, Brother Ah San and Sister Weiyang are both husband and wife, why should I like a married man so decently!"
"Husband and wife?"
Aunt Gui heard Hongdou say that she didn't like Ah San, so she was relieved at the moment. As soon as this heart was put down, curiosity suddenly rose. She also thought that the little couple were husband and wife, but their behavior looked a little strange.
Not...... How to say it, usually young couples of their age are mostly affectionate and loving, like glue. But these two of them always give people a tepid feeling. So Aunt Gui thought that they might not be married yet. And quickly derived a script in the head.
For example, a certain aristocratic son fell in love with a girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, but the girl was not from a high background and was not worthy of a son. So it was opposed by the son's family. Who knew that this aristocratic son was devoted to the girl, to the point where he would not marry. In the end, I couldn't talk to my family, so I simply eloped with the girl.
Later, he fled everywhere and avoided the tracking of his family. The girl was accidentally seriously injured, perhaps by the noble son's family, or by some green forest thief. In short, the ending is that the two fell off the cliff together.
I think she's a lot older, and she can't ask too much, so she keeps it in her heart. Unexpectedly, the girl said it today, thinking that it seemed that the girl had more contact with Weiyang on weekdays, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm. Husband and wife. Why don't you know A-Niang? Brother A-San said it himself today, and today's medicine for Sister Weiyang's sister was changed by him. ”
At the end, Hongdou touched his nose shyly. Seeing this, Aunt Gui canceled: "Ouch? Our girl actually knows that you are shy? I thought you had rough skin and thick flesh, and I don't know what shy is." ”
"Auntie!"
Red Bean puffed out his cheeks and was a little angry. Aunt Gui hurriedly smiled and comforted, afraid that coming out for too long would make the son-in-law misunderstand, so she hurriedly pulled the red beans and continued to go back to eat.
After the meal, Aunt Gui called Shen Li aside and taught him which medicines to apply externally and which ones to take internally. Shen Li saw that these medicines were given to Weiyang, and knew that Aunt Gui was deliberately letting him take care of Weiyang by herself. I guess it must be that the girl who said something to Aunt Gui. Shen Li smiled and asked Aunt Gui by the way, is there any ointment that can remove the scar?
Aunt Gui understood the meaning of his words, and shook her head with some guilt.
"There are ointments to remove scars, but the wound on Miss Weiyang's chest is too serious, and it is a little impossible to completely remove the scar, at most it can only be faded. I also want to put those large and small scars on her wrists on her back, which have been a bit long and can't be completely removed. ”
Shen Li nodded silently, and after thanking him, he didn't say anything. He didn't mind, but when he saw Mu Yan's eyes, he felt a little sad.
Hey, these injuries, he's afraid he won't be able to pay them off in his life.
