Chapter 170: Water Lilies in Memory
Xia Zixuan glanced at him and said, "Of course I'm going to turn over the mooncakes that are being grilled in the fire." ”
After that, Xia Zixuan pointed to the moon cakes that had been slightly dried under the fire and said: "Look, the moon cakes on this fire are almost dry, if you don't turn them over, all the moon cakes will be baked later." ”
Bai Qing looked at her serious appearance and smiled, "You're thinking too much, Miss Xia." I added a kind of self-made oil to the flour-making mooncakes, which are not the same as the oil used for stir-frying, so the mooncakes will not dry anyway. And this purple dream I designed is very special, and it must not be turned over during the baking process, otherwise the taste will not be so sweet, and it will also affect its efficacy. ”
Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and said, "It's really fake, you won't be kidding me, are you? Also, isn't this just an ordinary moon cake? It's not a tonic, what effect will it have?"
Bai Qing said helplessly: "How can I have that leisure to tease you now? Think about it carefully, if you weren't afraid that you would turn over this moon cake so quickly, how could I stop you so loudly just now?"
After Xia Zixuan heard his words, she became even more angry and said, "Cut! Say, you almost scared me to death just now, I haven't said anything about you yet!"
Bai Qing said lightly: "Isn't it also for your good? My moon cake is specially made for you and the green lingzhi, there are some special things in it, which can make your weak body gradually recover and health, and at the same time, it also has a special effect." ”
After Xia Zixuan listened to his words, she suddenly became a little curious: "What effect?"
Bai Qing pretended to be mysterious and said: "I can't tell you at this moment, when you eat this moon cake, you will know what its effect is." ”
"I'm bored, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
At this time, the little girl who had been standing behind Bai Qing also walked out cautiously.
She stared at Xia Zixuan and asked curiously, "This sister, I just heard Brother Bai say that you have a poison in your body, what is going on?"
Xia Zixuan looked at her blank appearance and suddenly felt a little surprised.
It stands to reason that although the little girl is dead, the memory of that day should not have disappeared.
That day on the street, when Xia Zixuan went to the cat's grandmother to buy fried chestnuts with sugar, the little girl was still standing aside eating fried chestnuts with sugar and watching the chestnut stall.
At that time, she hadn't died of poison immediately, she should have seen Xia Zixuan also buy fried chestnuts with sugar.
Later, after Xia Zixuan ate the sugar-fried chestnuts for a while, the little girl became poisonous.
Therefore, even if she died, she should still remember that Xia Zixuan was also poisoned.
However, at this moment, the little girl seemed to have amnesia, and she didn't recognize Xia Zixuan at all, let alone remember that Xia Zixuan was poisoned with her.
What, exactly, is going on?
Just as Xia Zixuan was about to open her mouth to ask the little girl, Bai Qing on the side suddenly stopped her immediately, and said slowly in her ear: "She doesn't know that she is dead now, I will explain to you when she is not there." Also, I want her to have a sweet dream before leaving the human world to be reincarnated in the underworld. ”
"Sweet dreams, what sweet dreams, what methods are you going to use to make her have sweet dreams?" Xia Zixuan stared at him.
"You don't have to worry about that. You'll find out later. ”
After that, Bai Qing moved a wooden chair from not far away and came to the side of the stove, staring at the mooncakes that were being baked all the time, as if admiring a rare treasure.
Xia Zixuan looked at his obsessive appearance, and couldn't help but feel that he seemed like a neurotic.
In the past, she had only seen men be so obsessed with beautiful women or rare treasures.
But I didn't expect this man to be so interested in moon cakes, seeing his obsessive appearance, he almost put his head on the iron plate and baked it with the moon cakes.
Thinking of this, Xia Zixuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the little girl on the side also laughed with her.
"Hahaha!Sister, what are you laughing at?!" The little girl looked at Xia Zixuan's smile and asked.
Xia Zixuan shook her head and said, "I didn't laugh at anything." Little sister, are you hot or not, I feel that it is too hot next to this fire, why don't we go to the back of the yard to cool off. ”
The little girl nodded cooperatively and said "yes".
After that, the two slowly walked towards the back of the courtyard.
At this time, Bai Qing, who was sitting next to the stove, smiled slightly and reminded the two of them: "You two play in the backyard for a while and remember to come back as soon as possible, this moon cake must be eaten as soon as possible when it is just baked, otherwise the effect will not be good." ”
Xia Zixuan nodded at him, and then walked to the backyard with the little girl.
At this moment, it is early autumn, the weather is not so cold, and a soft breeze is blowing in the backyard.
The breeze slowly hit Xia Zixuan's face, arms, and the bare skin in other parts of her body, making her feel a slight coolness.
However, what made Xia Zixuan feel strange was that there were many beautiful flowers planted in Bai Qing's backyard.
This is very strange, after all, these flowers are normally supposed to bloom in spring or summer.
But even though it's autumn at the moment, the yard is full of all kinds of flowers.
There are moon seasons, spring flowers, gardenias, and evening primroses.
It was the middle of the night, and the night fragrance was blooming with gorgeous flowers at the moment, exuding a very sweet smell in the dark night, which made Xia Zixuan very intoxicated after smelling it.
And in the corner of the backyard, there is also a water tank that is not too big.
Xia Zixuan slowly walked towards the water tank and found that there were several pale yellow water lilies floating on the water tank.
The water lily floated slowly on the water under the breeze, which couldn't help but remind Xia Zixuan of the most quiet and leisurely days spent in the Xia Mansion when she was not out of the pavilion in the past.
Xia Zixuan's mother is very fond of water lilies, so in the backyard pond of Xia Mansion, there are many water lilies of different colors, including white, yellow, and pink, and a large patch.
When she was a child, Xia Zixuan often went to the backyard of Xiafu with her mother to see those beautiful and moving water lilies.
She now vaguely remembers that there is a kind of water lily with a golden edge, and the fragrance is refreshing, and it can make people feel more refreshed after smelling it.
However, those water lilies of different colors are only gradually sealed in my childhood memories.
Later, after her mother passed away, Xia Zixuan never saw those water lilies again.
Because Xia Zixuan's father married another woman and entered the door, and one day, after hearing that these water lilies were Xia Zixuan's biological mother's favorite flowers, she ordered her subordinates to remove all these flowers.
Xia Zixuan still vaguely remembers that after those water lilies were removed, she used to cry heartbreakingly.
But now that I think about it, the pain at that time was nothing compared to what happened afterward.
After all, Xia Zixuan's father was forced by that woman to marry Li Qingxuan ruthlessly.
Xia Zixuan even wondered if the reason why Li Qingxuan had a black hand on himself was also because of that woman's obstruction.
"Sister, what are you thinking? I don't think your face is very good. Seeing that Xia Zixuan hadn't spoken, the little girl stood behind her and patted her on the shoulder and asked.
Xia Zixuan coughed embarrassedly and said, "No, it's nothing, my sister just remembered the water lilies I saw at home when I was a child, which is very similar to the one in this water tank." ”
The little girl winked mischievously and said, "What is so strange about this water lily, there are many of them in my house." It's just that there's something strange here. Even though it's autumn now, it's amazing that the water lilies in this tank are still open!"
Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Maybe the location of this medical hall is quite special, so the temperature is higher than other places." By the way, little sister, I see there seems to be a swing under the tree over there, why don't I go over and push you on the swing. ”
"Okay. Let's go, let's go over!" the little girl clapped her hands and took Xia Zixuan's hand and ran towards the swing excitedly.
After that, Xia Zixuan began to push the little girl slowly.
After listening to the little girl's cheerful laughter, Xia Zixuan felt happy for her in her heart, and suddenly a sense of sadness poured out.
Unconsciously, Xia Zixuan has slowly matured and is no longer a little girl.
With such a hearty smile, it is no longer difficult to laugh from the bottom of my heart.
While pushing the little girl, she was alone and melancholy, and suddenly, she pushed faster and faster.
The little girl was quite bold, and not only did she not feel afraid, but she exclaimed excitedly: "So happy! Sister, push me harder! Push me higher, it's so exciting!"
Xia Zixuan saw her happy appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a very happy feeling in her heart, and the strength in her hand quickly increased.
I saw that the swing was swinging faster and higher, and the little girl's body was almost swaying into the air.
"Sister, faster! harder!" the little girl turned to Xia Zixuan and shouted excitedly.
"If you can't go any faster, I'm afraid you'll fall from here with an unstable center of gravity. Xia Zixuan said to the little girl while laughing.
"It's okay, sister, you're too cautious, I think it's okay to be a little taller, you see my hand firmly grasping this rope. ”
When Xia Zixuan listened to the little girl's words and increased the strength of her hand, the swing also began to fly higher and higher with the little girl.
Just as Xia Zixuan was happily staring at the little girl's figure, the little girl's hand suddenly loosened.
"Suddenly", the little girl's body was directly thrown out by the extremely fast swing.
Xia Zixuan was shocked and said, "It's not good!"
