Chapter 16: Farewell
The next two chapters are a bit sad, forgive me.
In the evening, when the sunset subsides, the heavens and the earth turn a silver-gray color. The milky smoke and the gray twilight blended together, as if covering the walls, the ridges, and the tops of the treesβa thin layer of cellophane, making them looming and fluttering, and there was a strange atmosphere, and wisps of cooking smoke rose from the courtyard of the blacksmith's shop.
Ni Xin, who was bedridden, also appeared in the canteen today, at this time he was covered with gauze, sitting on a bench in front of the stove in the canteen, staring at the flames in the stove expressionlessly, muttering something in his mouth, and from time to time filling a few firewoods with his hands wrapped in gauze.
"Brother Ni Xin, are the steamed buns steamed?"
Green pothos walked in with a small basket on her shoulder, and when she looked up at Ni Xin, she pointed to the basket with a mysterious expression.
"Guess what it is?"
Ni Xin shook his head blankly.
"Today, my father said that you have just recovered from a serious illness, and specially asked me to go to Taiyuan Building to bring back a few dishes, saying that he wanted to treat you well. β
Ni Xin pursed his lips, with a look of disbelief, he was treating himself, if he really had this heart, he would not be a person who had just recovered from a serious illness to burn the fire and steam steamed buns.
Ni Xin stood up, lifted the lid of the pot, and said to the green pothos.
"Estimate the time, it's almost time now, you go and call the master to dinner. β
A burst of steam filled the entire canteen with the lid of the pot, like a fairyland
The green pothos, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Ni Xin dumbfounded.
"Brother Ni Xin, you are going to make ten days of food, why are you steaming so many steamed buns. β
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, you can rest assured that I'll do things. Ni Xin waved his hand confidently.
The dining table was full of dishes brought back from the Taiyuan Building, and the appearance of just a plate of elbows was worthy of the fame of the Taiyuan Restaurant, Ni Xin couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
Luluo and Ni Xin are both pure Xiaobai, and the usual meals are made by Jin Chang, Ni Xin and Luluo are doing what they can by the way, just like today's steamed steamed buns.
Speaking of conscience, Jin Chang's craftsmanship is actually really good, the problem is that the menu is not updated, the dishes are single, there are just a few dishes over and over, and the food is very delicious at first, but after a long time, it is really unbearable.
Looking at the food on the table, Ni Xin Xin wanted to eat such a meal before leaving, and it would not be in vain for him to be a cow and a horse in Chengqiao Town for a year.
Yes, Ni Xin decided to leave, although he was very reluctant, but he felt that if he continued to stay here, he was afraid that one day he would really drive west.
Although he didn't know the direction of Xiangyang County, he didn't want to wait any longer.
In Chengqiao Town, he also knew that if he stayed in Chengqiao Town, he would not be able to find out the location of Xiangyang County in his life.
Ni Xin wanted to go to a bigger place to see, he used to be in the tea stall when he heard the foot merchants passing by the town say that there is a big city five hundred miles west of Chengqiao Town--- Feiyu City
It is said that Feiyu City is very large, bigger than twenty Chengqiao Towns, and there are many people coming and going, it is easy to find out the news, and there are everything sold in Feiyu City, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, and the girl in Feiyu City Qinglou is also a water spirit with one guarantee, and Ni Xin yearns for a while.
Ni Xin thought, go to Feiyu City to try it first, if he can't find the direction of Xiangyang County, then he will go to other places to look for it.
Ni Xin still had an idea in his heart, that is, he didn't dare to go to the Canglei Sect again, but it was better to wait for Ke'er near the Canglei Sect.
If Ke'er really went to the Canglei Sect to find him, Ke'er would definitely be disappointed if he couldn't find him, and he didn't want to break his word, especially to Xue Ke'er.
Ni Xin regretted it very much, he only cared about flirting with Xue Ke'er at that time, and forgot to ask Ke'er's sect what it was called, otherwise he could go to her, even if he couldn't be a disciple, he could be a handyman, if he knew, the handyman was not quite capable of being a handyman, I don't know how Ni Xin should feel.
However, Ni Xin sneered, thinking that this might be his wishful thinking, he might just be a passerby in Ke'er's life, she was so playful, she had forgotten about herself a long time ago, but Ke'er was so beautiful, her mother would definitely like it.
Thinking about it, Ni Xin's face smiled happily, but he was hit by the chopsticks flying from the opposite side, Ni Xin glared at Jin Chang with a dissatisfied face, and then began to lower his head and pull up the rice.
However, Lu Luo was a little curious: "Brother Ni Xin, what are you thinking, your expression just now is so happy." β
Just when Ni Xin was thinking about how to answer, Jin Chang took the first step to borrow the conversation.
"That's not called happiness, it's called yi
Swing, what can he think, I guess he's thinking about whose girls he is thinking about again. β
Ni Xin listened to Jin Chang's words, and he was so tired in his heart that what words came to his mouth, why did they change their taste.
Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only use his own actions to silently resist.
So Ni Xin put down his rice bowl and began to put vegetables into his mouth one by one, until his mouth was full, and he looked at Jin Chang with a provocative expression
Looking at Ni Xin's vigorous pick-up of vegetables, Jin Chang suddenly became anxious:
"That elbow is mine!"
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
"You kid eat something, don't always eat vegetables!"
"Do you still know how to respect teachers!"
Looking at Jin Chang and Ni Xin's child-like appearance, Lu Luo's face showed a happy expression.
After the meal, Jin Chang sat on the chair and picked his teeth, and the pothos cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the side, Ni Xin looked at Jin Chang and then at the pothos, although he had already made a decision in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth.
Jin Chang, who was picking his teeth on the side, looked at Ni Xin's appearance, and casually threw the chopsticks to Ni Xin: "You just say something, you don't look like a gentleman at all, you look like you are blind when you are worried all night." β
Ni Xin coughed twice and said, "That's it..... It's just that I want to go to Feiyu City to inquire about the news and see if there is any news about Xiangyang County. β
Jin Chang glanced at Ni Xin when he heard it, he was a piece of Ni Xin's heart, and waved his hand indifferently and said:
"It's just a little bit of a heart, why haven't you learned half of my man this year. β
"Feiyu City is far away, but it's not a big deal, in this way, you and I will finish the work in hand, and I will take the green basket and the two of you to see the world together. β
After speaking, he still squeezed his eyebrows: "How is it, isn't it very moving, the master is interesting enough." β
This made it more difficult for Ni Xin to speak, for a long time.
"It's not..... I didn't mean that, I meant that if I couldn't find out the news when I went to Feiyu City this time, I would go to another place to investigate, maybe ...... Probably won't come back. β
