Chapter 48: It's distressing
After spending 550 merit points, he raised the Five Thunder Mantra to the second level, and cultivated for another half a sound.
It wasn't until the night was already very deep, and the mana consumed in his body today was almost made up for seventy-seven, eighty-eight, that Zhang Jing was ready to sleep.
After a day of tossing today, he can be said to be the most exhausted and tired, and he has long been too tired to be tired.
But just when Zhang Jing was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a slight sound of a woman sobbing, the voice was very faint, it seemed to be suppressed, if Zhang Jing pointed his ears and didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to hear it.
", what's going on? Could it be that there are female ghosts who don't have long eyes and come to Yizhuang to make trouble?"
Zhang Jing's heart sank after hearing the voice, and his sleepiness also decreased a lot, and he stood up on his left.
Yizhuang doesn't say that he is there, and this is Uncle Jiu's territory.
What kind of female ghost dares to run over and send her to death without knowing whether she is alive or dead?
In the middle of the night, hearing this crying woman's voice, Zhang Jing in the past would be frightened no matter how bold he was. Now, he's not so scared anymore, it's a monster that gives experience!
However, when Zhang Jing was just about to get out of bed and identify the location of the source of the sound, he suddenly thought of something, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.
The voice didn't come from somewhere else, but from the room next to him!
Naturally, the room next to him is not a female ghost, but Ren Tingting!
"Did you never sleep, or did you wake up crying in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Jing sighed.
Zhang Jing can naturally understand the reason why Ren Tingting cried in the middle of the night, what happened in Ren Mansion on this day was too big a blow for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Although today when the old lady Ren came to kill, Ren Tingting behaved much braver and stronger than Wencai, and dared to take the initiative to stand up and fight against the terrifying zombies. But it doesn't mean that Ren Tingting has no sadness in her heart and can easily get over this hurdle.
In front of outsiders, Ren Tingting had to make herself brave and more mature.
Because crying is useless and cowardly, her father is dead, and she has no support from now on, who will show her weakness?
Ren's family has a big business, and when her father was there before, she could naturally control everything.
After that, all the picks will fall on her shoulders, if she behaves too badly, she will definitely not be able to keep the family business of Renfu.
So Ren Tingting had to force herself to be strong during the day.
It was only at night that she revealed her true appearance as a girl.
In this regard, Zhang Jing has nothing to do.
In the middle of the night, he can't go to other girls' boudoirs to comfort them......
And Ren Tingting cried so suppressively and so quietly, obviously she didn't want others to see her weakness.
What's more, Zhang Jing is not very comforting.
So he just quietly listened to the cry of the girl next door, and was speechless for a long time, and finally went to bed.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. I just think they're noisy.
Zhang Jing is naturally not so indifferent.
It's just that he wants to empathize with Ren Tingting's sadness, but it's impossible.
At most, he just felt a little sorry for this girl who was strong on the surface but secretly cried at night.
......
......
Early the next morning.
Generally speaking, the first to get up is Wencai.
Because among the few people in Yizhuang, only Wencai's cooking skills are barely okay, and he has to get up to make breakfast.
But today, when Wen Cai got up, he found that someone got up earlier than him and was already busy in the kitchen.
It was Ren Tingting.
Ren Tingting not only cooked the porridge, but also picked some vegetables in the vegetable field and fried a few vegetarian dishes, which tasted quite good and delicious.
"Tingting, I didn't expect you, as a young lady, to be able to cook!" Wen Cai sighed.
Qiusheng also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes." If only Tingting had been living in Yizhuang in the future, we would be able to be late for Tingting's meals often. Your cooking skills are much better than Wencai!"
If Qiusheng usually squeezed himself like this, Wen Cai would definitely return it.
But this time he smirked and didn't talk back.
He also hopes that Tingting can live in Yizhuang for a longer time.
Uncle Nine glared at the two apprentices and said, "Tingting is a guest, do you still want her to cook for you often, like words?" After a pause, Uncle Nine looked at Ren Tingting again and said, "Tingting, you just have to live in Yizhuang these days, and you don't have to work hard to do this." ”
Ren Tingting smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Uncle Nine, it's okay." I've always liked to study how to make good food, and I actually cook a lot at home, so I don't find it hard. In the future, I will cook all the meals in Yizhuang. ”
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing this, Wen Cai hurriedly raised his hands in agreement.
First, he can eat delicious meals, and secondly, he can have a good rest these days!
Hearing Ren Tingting say this, Uncle Nine could only say 'okay' and agreed.
Only from beginning to end, Zhang Jing, who was sitting next to him, did not express an opinion on this, and the food rarely moved, just a little dazed.
Ren Tingting discovered Zhang Jing's abnormality, and asked with some apprehension: "Zhang Gongzi, is the food I made not taste good?" I see that you don't use chopsticks much. ”
"Oh...... No, no, Tingting, the food you cook is delicious. Zhang Jing came back to his senses and hurriedly explained. "I was just thinking about something else. ”
Qiusheng put a large chopstick dish in Zhang Jing's bowl and said, "Just eat well, don't be like anything else." ”
Wencai also saw the same, and also put a big chopstick in Zhang Jing's bowl, and said, "Senior brother, you can taste this water spinach more." This is Tingting asked me this morning what kind of dish do you like to eat, fried especially for you!"
Looking at the piles of dishes in the bowl, Zhang Jing shook his head helplessly.
The people continued to eat.
But after a while, Zhang Jing couldn't help but secretly look at Ren Tingting.
This sixteen-year-old girl's face can still see childishness, although the figure has been exquisite, but it has not completely grown.
In the next life, he is just a high school student.
But the maturity that Ren Tingting showed today really surprised Zhang Jing again.
looked at her smiling face, and the relaxed appearance of Uncle Jiu, Wencai, and Qiusheng when they talked from time to time.
Who could tell that she was secretly crying in the middle of the night last night?
Even if Zhang Jing hadn't looked at Ren Tingting's eyes with a slight redness and swelling, which was the sequelae of crying, Zhang Jing would have wondered if he had auditory hallucinations last night!
However, seeing Ren Tingting forcibly let herself act like no one else in order not to affect other people's emotions, and even put down her identity as a daughter to help cook in order not to eat and live in vain, Zhang Jing's heart was even more distressed for her.
"If you have the opportunity in the future, let's help this hard-working girl more......"
Zhang Jing ate the water spinach that tasted just right, and thought silently in his heart.
