Chapter 158: A Pool of Koi
There is a Qingchi Garden in Zhu's harem, which no one has lived in for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It took about ten years of desertion before finally welcoming new residents.
It was a nobody, and when he first arrived, he pretended to be calm on the surface, but there was a lingering fear in his eyes.
Later, this nobody hit the big luck, got the weight of the evil spider, and was also named General Hanwei, and in Tianluo City, he was in the limelight for a while.
After receiving the general's order, building the general's mansion, and starting a new stove, Qingchi Garden, which had been desolate for a long time, was not further abandoned.
It welcomed new occupants.
It was a woman who came with a picture box in her arms.
On the first day of moving in, the flowers and plants were carefully cut, and the fish in the pond were too old to swim quickly.
Strange to say, the fish in this pool, although they are not afraid of people, usually have hidden under the water, occasionally a husky falls into the water, disturbing their rest, will flutter and scatter, making some noise.
Since the woman moved in, the fish seemed to have changed their temperament, and whenever the familiar footsteps sounded, they would always rise to the surface and gather in the direction from which the footsteps came.
At this time, the footsteps would always stop for a moment, laugh and curse a foodie, and even if a finger of spiritual power flicked away, the fish in the pond would compete for a little hard-won food as if they were happy.
Although the mattress in the house was meticulously arranged, the woman never slept.
In the dead of night, she would sit by the pool in a daze, and the fish would arch up and accompany her quietly, quietly.
Occasionally, she casually poked her fingers into the pool and teased the fish twice, and the fish would kiss her nails and swim around her fingertips as if they were old friends.
The same was true on the second day.
Until the night of the third day.
She still sat still by the pool, occasionally playing with the fish, which jumped and tumbled with joy and wrinkled a pool of water.
If nothing happens, the night will pass.
But this night, Qingchi Garden ushered in an uninvited guest, who came across millions of miles, shattering the tranquility here.
In fact, the uninvited guest didn't say anything.
To be exact, before he could say anything, the woman said only one word lightly, and all his words were choked in his throat.
"Yes. ”
......
In the small courtyard, by the stone table.
Yin Qingsi methodically brewed the tea, her eyes always falling on the teapot in front of her, and her expression was meticulously focused, as if she was completing the most exquisite painting in the world.
Qi Ming sat directly across from her, at the other end of the stone table, staring directly at each other, but was silent and silent.
Half a day.
The steaming heat burst the teapot lid.
Yin Qingsi got up, poured a cup of hot tea for Qi Ming, and filled it for herself, then put down the teapot and picked up the teacup, brought it to her mouth and blew it, took a small sip, squinted her eyes, and spit out the aroma comfortably.
"Aren't you drinking?" Yin Qingsi asked casually with a teacup.
"Does the spirit also drink tea?" Qi Ming didn't move, leaning forward slightly, and there was an indescribable complex meaning in his tone.
"Of course. Yin Qingsi said as a matter of course, "Refresh your mind, consolidate your foundation, good things." ”
Qi Ming was silent for a while, then reached out and picked up the small porcelain cup, and drank the hot tea.
With a bang, the porcelain cup fell lightly and heavily.
Qi Ming opened his mouth and asked again: "How do you know my intention?"
"I heard that in this year's Top Ten Ten Demon Blood Fight, there is a girl named Yin Que...... So I guessed. Yin Qingsi poured Qi Ming full of hot tea again, and replied unhurriedly, "Ten years ago, I was her teacher. ”
"Well, she thought you were dead. Qi Ming raised his glass, looking at the pale yellow tea in the cup, his expression was a little complicated, "If I am still in the dark, maybe it won't be long before you pass away for some reason, right?"
"......" Yin Qingsi was silent for a moment, "Where the duty is, that's all." ”
Qi Ming's expression became more and more complicated, and he suddenly turned his eyes to look at the koi in the pool.
At this time, he and Yin Qingsi sat opposite each other and drank tea, and those koi fish gathered one after another, half of their bodies were exposed on the water, and they were swaying their heads and tails very happily.
"These fish ...... Recognize you. Qi Ming suddenly changed the topic, "Originally, when I lived here, I didn't even pay attention to calling them or feeding them fish food. ”
"They eat Reiki. Yin Qingsi explained very cooperatively, "If you feed others, they will naturally ignore them." ”
"It's really squeamish, and it deserves to eat grilled fish for three days in a row. ”
"In the beginning, I was fed up. Yin Qingsi said with a smile, "When Que'er first came to Zhu's harem, although she looked like a half-grown girl, her mind was still like a blank piece of paper, and she didn't know what crime she had suffered...... I don't think that I will be raised for 30 years, and although no one has taken care of me for nearly ten years, they are all still alive. ”
When Yin Qingsi said this, the koi in that pool still had its mouth wide open, as if waiting for the master's feeding, and raised its head high.
"How to take care of it?" Qi Ming asked, "Do you feed it directly with mana?"
"If you want to be more elegant, you can also knead the pill into powder......"
"It seems that you are not elegant. Qi Ming said with a little sarcasm.
"So feed directly with mana, it's simple, convenient and ...... saving"
Before Yin Qingsi finished speaking, Qi Ming stood up suddenly, threw the teacup in his hand on the table, and the cold tea splashed out, wetting Qi Ming's cuffs, but the latter didn't realize it.
"You don't want to die?!" Qi Ming suddenly snorted, with vigorous anger on his face, and an abnormal blush appeared, "Do you know what your identity is?!"
"You're a ghost!"
"Relying on mana to sustain your poor life, you still use it to feed the fish?!"
Qi Ming was stunned, but Yin Qingsi didn't seem to hear a word.
"The Tower of Babel does not fall, and the spirits in the tower will not die. ”
"Is this the point?" Qi Ming looked at Yin Qingsi's indifferent expression, and his anger suddenly became even more uneasy, "Tell me honestly, was the reason why you were seriously ill last time because the mana was fed to this group of broken fish?"
"Do I look like such an indiscriminate person?" Yin Qingsi glanced at Qi Ming in surprise, revealing a look of course on her face, "I just used part of it......"
"So you're a dead pig and you're not afraid of boiling water?" Qi Ming sneered and looked at Yin Qingsi, "Anyway, it's already a ghost, and the mana is used up, so it's a big deal to let the evil spider queen refill it for you?"
"In fact...... The way of survival of the spirit is true, and it has been the case since ancient times. Yin Qingsi patiently explained.
"No, no, it's not!"
Qi Ming muttered, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the problem, he subconsciously tightened his hair, and his mood was chaotic, and he had no clue. (To be continued.) )
